Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Seeing Ayanokouji arbitrarily decide on his fiancée, Asuka was immediately filled with a lot of question marks.

Who the hell are you?

Can you please get away from me?

With a visible "well" symbol appearing on her forehead, Asuka suppressed the rising anger within her and began to scrutinize Ayanokouji's condition from head to toe.

It seemed they wanted to see clearly whether he was pretending to be stupid or genuinely stupid.

"...Are you sick?"

With his arms crossed, Yusei looked at Ayanokouji with an expression that said he was an idiot.

Yusei's expression remained the same ever since Ayanokouji proposed that earth-shattering duel.

The old saying goes that an elder brother is like a father. If it were Asuka's biological brother, Tenjouin Fubuki, making such a request, it would be somewhat understandable.

What right do you, a random passerby who appeared out of nowhere, have to make decisions on behalf of Asuka?

Just because you're a ridiculous clown?

"Hahaha... So you're too scared to fight me? In that case, it'll be considered a direct victory for me, and I'll become Asuka's fiancé, okay?"

Taking Yusei's mockery as a compliment, Ayanokouji, no longer caring about his reputation, began to laugh maniacally.

It seems that in his view, the world should revolve around him, and all his demands are reasonable requests...

"?"

When Yusei slowly typed out a question mark, it wasn't that he had a problem, but rather that he felt there was something very wrong with the man in front of him!

Seeing that Ayanokouji seemed to have already considered himself the victor, Yusei's face gradually darkened.

A clown who won't listen to reason...

Looks like I need to teach you a good lesson!

"Yusei, agree to this duel and teach him a lesson he won't forget!" Asuka, with a forced smile, gave Yusei a "kind" look.

As for Ayanokouji's rude request, she simply filtered it out.

A guy who doesn't listen to reason should be given a deep, bone-chilling blow, preferably one that leaves him with psychological trauma so he'll never dare to be so reckless again.

"Since you said so..."

"Then I accept this duel!"

Having received Asuka's permission and also gleaning her thoughts from her gaze, Yusei nodded and accepted Ayanokouji's challenge.

Perfect timing! He also wanted to take this opportunity to teach this clown a lesson.

You dare bark at me like that... you little brat, you must be prepared to die!

It is our duty to beat up scumbags!

"Huh? You accepted it? Doesn't that mean...?"

Seeing that the three people arguing not far away seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face.

Does this mean Asuka has agreed to let the winner of this duel become her fiancé?

(〃＞皿＜)……Damn, I'm so envious!!!

"Oh? I'm not entirely sure yet, but Yusei has accepted the duel, hasn't he?"

"It seems to be getting interesting!"

Scratching his head, Jaden Yuki looked at Yusei and Ayanokouji facing off, a look of interest appearing on his face.

A true man bravely accepts his opponent's challenge!

Yusei, well done!

No wonder he's the rival I, Jaden Yuki, have my eye on!

"Lord Yusei! Let's teach that guy a good lesson!"

With her hands cupped in front of her mouth, Junko, a devoted fan of Yusei, gave him an encouraging shout.

"Oh my~ Asuka, how bold of you!"

Supporting her slightly turned cheek with her hand, Momoe couldn't help but show the expression of a girl in love.

Just a moment ago, she had already imagined Yusei and Asuka's wedding scene in her mind...

This girl, who is incredibly loyal to her desires and loves handsome men, is quite remarkable in some ways...

"Well... never mind, let's leave it at that."

Seeing that the people around him seemed to have misunderstood something, Yusei thought for a moment and then gave up on correcting them.

The most important thing right now is the duel.

As for other matters, they can be dealt with slowly after the duel is won; there's no need to rush.

And he was indeed quite interested in Asuka.

"Hmph...Very good!"

"Yusei, you accept this duel!"

Upon hearing Yusei accept his challenge, Ayanokouji couldn't help but let out a smug, cold laugh.

Hehehe! Yusei, you've been tricked!

I, Ayanokouji, am a super elite third-year student and captain of the tennis club at Obelisk Blue, a figure revered by thousands!

You, Yusei, are just an ordinary first-year student from Osiris Red.

No matter how powerful you are, you can never be my match!

Foolish fellow, just accept your fate of defeat!

"Asuka, just you wait! I'm coming to rescue you from that guy's clutches!"

After giving Asuka a look he thought was cool, Ayanokouji quickly ran to the tennis club's room and retrieved two duel disks.

"Let's settle this once and for all, Yusei!"

He found a spacious open space, handed one of the Duel Disks to Yusei's Ayanokouji, and then put the other Duel Disk on his own hand.

"Ah...just as I wished!"

Yusei, who had just placed his deck into the Duel Disk and was facing Ayanokouji from afar, wore a confident expression.

I might not be as good as you at tennis, but when it comes to a duel...

Hehehe...

I hope you'll have another chance to touch the hem of my clothes later...

"The duel between the two men surrounding Asuka-sama is absolutely wonderful~"

With a sigh like a young girl in love, Momoe, whose eyes seemed to be only on handsome men, couldn't help but turn her gaze to Asuka, who had returned to their side.

However, upon seeing the frost covering Asuka's face, Momoe reluctantly shut her mouth.

In this situation, it seems inappropriate to say something like that...

"How foolish! I don't want to waste my breath on that guy named Ayanokouji..."

With her arms cradled beneath her enormous heart, Asuka wore an expression of slight annoyance.

My future was decided by a complete stranger without my consent.

This feeling is unpleasant for anyone.

"Even though you say that, you're probably still a little bothered by it."

Seeing that Asuka was only saying she was angry but had no intention of leaving, Junko couldn't help but tease her.

When Junko said she cared, she was referring to Asuka's feelings for Yusei.

Although it's not quite to the point of discussing marriage, there's still some goodwill towards him; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Yuxing to stand up for him.

"That is……"

Asuka's face stiffened when Junko saw through her, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She explained seriously, "That's because... I just asked Yusei to defeat Ayanokouji. Wouldn't it be too irresponsible of me to leave like this?"

"At the very least, I should witness the end..."

"Is that right?"

Listening to Asuka's seemingly reasonable explanation, Junko blinked in confusion, then put her slender white finger to her lips, a thoughtful expression on her face: "Speaking of which, this guy named Ayanokouji is said to have strength that rivals Marufuji Ryo... Is Yusei-sama really alright facing such an opponent?"

"Not inferior to her brother? Is that Ayanokouji guy really that strong?"

Upon hearing the information revealed by Junko, Marufuji Sho's expression tightened.

Although Yusei had previously narrowly defeated the Emperor of Duel Academy, Ryo Marufuji, with his "Machine Deck," becoming the uncrowned king of Duel Academy.

However, apart from the parties involved, not many people knew about that incident.

Therefore, Ayanokouji, who was unaware of this matter, thought that Yusei was easy to bully and believed that he was sure to win today's duel.

If this guy named Ayanokouji really does have the strength to rival Marufuji Ryou...

Then Yusei is likely to be in a tough fight!

"Don't worry, everyone! Did you see Yusei's expression?"

Looking around at the group of people with different expressions and thoughtful looks, Yuki Judai shook his head and pointed to Yusei, who was resting with his eyes closed not far in front of them.

The standard Yuki-Wang pose with his arms crossed, paired with that calm expression.

Yusei's demeanor showed absolutely no sign of nervousness.

It seems that Ayanokouji, who is rumored to be comparable to Caesar, is not considered a threat at all by Yusei...

……

"Hmph! Yusei! I hope you can let me experience the joys of youth!"

"Heh...you'll find out soon enough!"

Their eyes clashed fiercely in the air.
