Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Then let me tell my big brother my name too!"

After thinking for a moment, the little girl finally lowered her guard and stopped treating Yusei as a suspicious bad guy.

"My name is [Amamiya Ria], I'm fourteen years old, and like my older brother, I'm also a duelist~"

The little girl named Amamiya Ria closed one eye, then spread her fingers in front of her other eye, making a "V" sign, and began to introduce herself in a somewhat chuunibyou manner.

"Oh? Such a young age and already a duelist? That's amazing!"

Upon hearing this unexpected news, Yusei instinctively reached out and patted Amamiya Ria's head.

Ria's long silver hair was very well maintained; it felt smooth to the touch, making you want to keep touching it forever.

"Ugh! I'm not a child anymore!"

"I'm a powerful duelist; even my older sister isn't my match!"

Little girl Aya Amamiya seemed quite dissatisfied with Yusei's way of comforting children.

She puffed out her cheeks and began to refute Yusei's words.

"real or fake?"

Upon hearing Ria's words, Yusei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Yuito, who used the [Sea Emperor Deck], lost a duel to the little girl in front of him?

"Jie Ren," this guy, is probably going easy on his own sister.

Yusei, who was silently contemplating this possibility, stopped patting Ria's head.

Curious about the loli's strength, Yusei couldn't help but suggest to Ria, "Since you put it that way, how about we have a duel?"

"If Ria wins, how about you believe Ria's words, big brother?"

"Hmm... I won't lose!"

Ria Amamiya was furious at Yusei's nonchalant attitude.

She clenched her small pink fist, determined to teach the boy in front of her a lesson so that he would never dare to underestimate her again.

021 At first, I refused...

"Oh right, I don't have a Duel Disk yet."

Yusei, who was preparing for a duel with Ria, suddenly remembered this question.

In the past, he usually played cards as a board game.

The dueling table is marked with various colors to indicate the monster zone, magic trap zone, extra zone, etc., and players duel on this table.

Yusei also has some paper mats for dueling, which serve a similar purpose to dueling tables. They are also marked with different areas and are more convenient to carry than tables.

But in this world, it's better to use the Duel Disk, a high-tech method, for duels. It's cool, and the experience is much better.

While playing card games on a board can only be done in your head, using the Duel Disk allows you to experience the real feeling of a duel.

Yusei had long wanted to experience the feeling of a 3D video battle, just like in the anime.

When he was a child, after watching the cartoon, he even went to a toy store and bought a model of the Duel Disk...

Back then, he was young and naive, and he thought that he could summon Duel Monsters from the cards with this toy...

As expected, nothing happened. The Duel Disk he bought was just a poorly made model, and it was impossible for it to achieve the special effects seen in the anime.

In the real world, Yusei's wish has never been fulfilled, but in this world, using the Duel Disk for duels is perfectly normal.

Yusei had already experienced the thrill of duels when he played in the card shop.

This feeling is like a poison that seeps into your bones; once you've experienced it, you can never forget it...

Compared to dueling with a duel disk, traditional board games seem rather dull.

So far, the only Duel Disk Yusei has ever used was one he borrowed from Sugoroku Muto.

After the match ended, he could only reluctantly return it to the other party...

Therefore, Yusei does not currently have his own Duel Disk.

"That's it..."

Hearing Yusei's somewhat regretful words, Amamiya Ria suddenly suggested, "Why don't I just give my sister's Duel Disk to my older brother? My sister doesn't really need it anyway..."

"The older brother is the older sister's friend, I'm sure she won't mind~"

"(⊙o⊙)...This isn't quite right..."

She just gave me a [Kuriboh] card, and now she's giving me her Duel Disk.

Even a seasoned veteran like Yusei felt a little embarrassed at this moment.

Although... he really wanted it...

The duel disks used by wealthy people can't possibly be the mass-produced kind from card shops.

"Huh? Big brother, you can duel without a duel disk?"

Hearing Yusei's somewhat conflicted words, Ria couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

"Of course not! I don't have superpowers, so of course I need a Duel Disk!"

Seeing that he was about to be misunderstood by the little girl, Yusei quickly tried to explain.

"But... I clearly heard you say you didn't need a Duel Disk!"

"I was just being polite..."

Yusei explained that he was just showing off and told Ria not to take it to heart.

After a brief conversation with Ria, Yusei came to understand a principle.

When talking to her, never use metaphors; always express your thoughts directly, otherwise it can easily lead to misunderstandings.

"Grandpa Sebastian... come here for a moment."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Ria turned around and called out someone's name towards the door.

As Leah called out, an elderly man in a black suit with white hair and beard walked slowly into the office with elegant steps.

It seems that this old man named Sebastian had been waiting outside the door, ready to be at Ria's beck and call.

"What are your instructions, Miss?" The old man placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and asked Ria in a humble manner.

"Grandpa Sebastian, did you hear what Ria just said?"

"Next, I'm going to have a duel with my older brother, but he doesn't have a Duel Disk. So I'm hoping that when Grandpa Sebastian gets my Duel Disk, he can also bring my sister's Duel Disk along with it."

Ria told the butler her thoughts in one breath.

After hearing Ria's words, the old man named Sebastian nodded slightly, then turned and left the office, seemingly to retrieve the Duel Disk.

"Alright! That solves big brother's problem. Don't run away during the duel later!" Ria waved her little pink fist at Yusei, a cute smile on her face.

"Don't worry, I won't run away." Hearing Ria's words, Yusei felt a little amused and exasperated.

Just kidding, the number of people in this world who can pose a threat to me, You, can be counted on one hand. And the number of people who could make me even think of running away is absolutely nonexistent.

Unless my opponent chooses to summon a fist to "attack directly" instead of using card duels, I have absolutely no chance of escaping!

……

While Sebastian went to get the Duel Disk, Yusei reached out and opened the box that Yuito had given him.

Just as Yuito had said before, the box contained a cell phone for communication.

Next to the phone, there is also a charger and instruction manual.

Yusei opened the box, took out the phone inside, and examined it thoroughly.

He looked at the phone and realized that it wasn't the kind of large-screen smartphone he used to use, but a flip phone without a touchscreen.

To input information, you must use the keyboard, which is similar to the nine-key keyboard of an input method.

At first, Yusei was a little unaccustomed to this kind of phone, but after studying it for a while, he quickly mastered how to use it.

That said, whether it's the cell phone Yuito gave him or the Duel Disk that Ria planned to give him, they are both things he desperately needs right now.

Just as I was about to doze off, someone brought me a pillow.

Things were progressing too smoothly, which made Yusei feel a sense of unreality.

Yusei couldn't help but wonder if he also had a "protagonist's halo."

Otherwise, there's no way to explain the current situation!

When Yusei first arrived in this world, he was completely bewildered.

In order to solve the problem of survival, he thought of earning a living by participating in duels at the card shop.

As a result, he not only won the prize money, but also unexpectedly met [Yuito], a rich girl disguised as a boy, during the competition... and later received a series of help from her.

Not only did they solve their survival problems, they also unexpectedly gained admission to the Duel Academy.

Now, Yusei has met Yuito's younger sister, Ria Amamiya, the adorable little girl in front of him, and Ria plans to give Yusei her sister's Duel Disk...

……

If this series of events were merely coincidences, it would be far beyond common sense.

Without the "protagonist's halo," many things would become inexplicable.

It couldn't possibly be because I, You, am too handsome and exude an aura of dominance that captivated these two beauties...

Yusei shook his head, banishing the unrealistic idea from his mind.

Whatever the reason, we should accept it as it is. As far as the outcome is concerned, everything is fine now, and that's enough.

"Seriously, being a kept man is really lucrative!"

Yusei, who was extremely satisfied with the current situation, couldn't help but sigh.

In this world, Yusei experienced wondrous sensations he had never felt before.

As an independent and self-reliant modern man, Yusei's inner instinct is to resist such things.

but……
