Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Yusei glanced at the two people sitting on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and then prepared to tell them what to do with them.

"Please! Please let Kohara go! I was the one who attacked those scumbags, it had nothing to do with Kohara! He was just helping me out..."

Just as Yusei was about to speak, Ohara, who was standing next to Ohara, suddenly knelt down in front of Yusei and pleaded with him.

Ohara's attitude clearly indicates that he intends to shoulder all the responsibility himself.

"Ohara! What are you doing?"

"If you lose, you lose. There's no need to do something so self-deprecating!"

Seeing his companion groveling for him, Xiaoyuan's face immediately showed a mixture of surprise and anger.

“Ohara… I’m really happy when you get angry about my things as if they were your own.”

Raising his head, Ohara smiled slightly at Kohara with an honest expression, and then said, "That's why I've always wanted to do something for you. Now that I have this opportunity, please don't stop me..."

"Oohara, you..."

"I believe that as a duelist, you can definitely become stronger. With your strength, you shouldn't stop here with me. There is a much bigger stage for you in the future..."

“Oohara… but didn’t you come to Duel Academy to become a game designer?”

"...I don't care, as long as you're happy, Xiaoyuan!"

"What a joke! How could I possibly feel happy after sacrificing you, Ohara, just to save myself! If anyone should stay, it should be us both!"

"Ohara..."

"Ohara..."

As their bodies drew closer, the two, understanding each other's feelings, couldn't help but embrace tightly, overcome with emotion.

263 Oh no, Doraemon, please help me! (5K)

"Hey! Why do I look like the bad guy?"

Looking at Ohara and Kohara snuggling together in front of him, Yusei, with a helpless expression, couldn't help but scratch his head.

You two are acting so gay...

This is putting me in a difficult position!

If I were to expose you all like this, wouldn't I, You, really become a heartless villain?

As for the option of letting it go...

"Um..."

With his palm resting on his chin, Yusei faced a difficult moment of decision.

"Ohara, and Ohara, you two are such good friends!"

"While duelists need to fight bravely on their own, friendship is also very important."

Upon reaching Yusei's side, Jaden Yuki, moved by the bond of friendship between Ohara and Ohara, suggested to Yusei, "Yusei, why don't we let them go..."

Ohara & Obara: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"a...ah?"

"Brother! What are you talking about? If we let them go, how are we going to explain this to Professor Kunonos? Are you planning to write a report for four people?"

"Uh, this..."

Before Yusei could say anything, Marufuji Sho immediately rejected Yuki Jaden's suggestion.

After hearing Marufuji Sho's words, Kohara and Ohara, who had been looking hopeful, lowered their heads at the same time. Yuki Judai also realized that his statement was indeed a bit too idealistic, and scratched his head embarrassedly.

yes……

Ultimately, they are just adversaries to each other, and it's impossible for them to give up their own interests for each other's sake.

Otherwise, tonight's operation would be putting the cart before the horse.

If it weren't to avoid those tedious reports, who the hell would be so bored as to come here at night to ambush someone for a duel?

Do you really think everyone's just bored and has nothing better to do?

Wouldn't it be better to use that time to play games or sleep and rest?

"Well! There's really no need to act so desperate right now..."

Looking around at the heads bowed in despair as people faced difficult choices, Yusei pulled out his phone and suggested, "At times like this, all we need to do is consult a professional!"

Everyone: "...A professional?"

Ignoring the questioning looks from the crowd, Yusei took out his phone, opened the contacts, and selected the contact information for "Tengu Kyou".

After a short wait, the call was quickly connected.

"Yusei? Is there something difficult to resolve that you're contacting me at this time?"

Across the vast ocean, Yusei heard Yui's calm and gentle voice once again.

Upon hearing this voice, Yusei's mood returned to calm.

For some reason, Yusei had this idea in his mind: this seemingly insurmountable dilemma was not so difficult for Miss Yui to solve.

"...You already know why I'm here before I've even said a word?"

"Well, it's actually quite easy to guess."

Feeling somewhat speechless, Yusei glanced at the curious faces around him, cleared his throat, and directly explained the problem he was facing: "Actually, it's like this..."

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft chuckle: "Yusei, if that's the case, then it's actually quite easy to solve."

"As an insider, you're just caught in a vicious cycle of thinking."

"What you hope for is a happy ending where everyone can be happy, but this dilemma you're facing means that no matter which side you choose, someone else will be hurt, which is why you feel conflicted, isn't it?"

At this point, Ms. Jie paused for a moment: "But have you ever thought that you don't actually need to abide by this so-called choice?"

"If neither of the two options at hand—sacrificing Ohara and Ohara or sacrificing your own interests—can satisfy everyone, then why don't you just propose a third option?"

"At least from the information I've heard, there are already elements that could break the deadlock..."

"!"

Upon hearing Ms. Yu's reminder, Yusei's face immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

Father, like son.

Just as Tiangong Jie said, he had indeed fallen into a vicious cycle of thinking, forgetting the crucial factor of taking the initiative into his own hands.

If you're not satisfied with the choices you have, why not create your own?

"Thank you, Jie. I understand now!"

"...Phew, that's good~"

After expressing his heartfelt gratitude to Tengu Yuu on the other end of the phone, Yusei hung up.

Just like Doraemon is to Nobita, Tengu Kyuu is like Doraemon to him, offering selfless help when he is lost and becoming a benefactor in his life...

In this unfamiliar world, perhaps only the two sisters from the Tiangong family are truly selfless in caring for me.

(Haoh Yusei: Damn... what about me??? You only remember girls, huh?!)

No matter how much gratitude is expressed in words, it cannot truly convey one's true feelings.

Gazing at the Radiant Duel Disk in his hand, Yusei felt a warmth in his heart and a knowing smile appeared on his face. He held up his finger to the people around him and said, "Actually, I have a way that can satisfy both sides... It can ensure that Ohara and Kohara don't get expelled, and it can also save us the trouble of writing reports~"

"Ok?"

"……real or fake?"

Upon hearing Yusei's words, everyone turned to look at him with curiosity.

This would allow them to escape punishment for Ohara and Kohara, grant them exemption from reporting, and ensure that Obelisk Blue's gang learns their lesson and corrects their behavior, thus silencing Professor Kunonos...

It can satisfy everyone, and bring everyone a happy ending...

Can something as wonderful as a dream really exist?

"Well then, Ohara, you guys should hand over the rare cards you stole from those guys in Obelisk Blue... They may be rare cards to them, but you don't need them, right?"

A Goblin deck might include a Perfect Machine King...

It looks weird no matter how you look at it...

"...Will this be enough?"

After handing the stolen cards to Yusei, Ohara couldn't help but ask his own question.

Given Professor Kunonos's petty and narrow-minded nature, how could he possibly forgive their actions so easily...

"...OK, that's fine. Now it's up to us."

Yusei put away the card, waved to Ohara and Ohara, indicating that they could leave now and he could handle the rest.

"Then...we'll be leaving?"

After getting up from the ground, Ohara hesitated for a moment before finally calling out to Ohara to start walking together, and then disappeared into the dark forest.

The moment the figure disappeared from sight, Ohara couldn't help but turn around and take a deep look at Yusei, who was standing still and not chasing after her.

That confident and determined demeanor was exactly what he aspired to.

"……Bye now!"

From the dark forest that obscured the view, came the distant sound of Ohara's farewell.

In this way, Yusei and the others could no longer track them down.

"Now it's my turn to perform!"

Gazing in the direction where Ohara and the others had left, Yusei stroked the Duel Disk, then slowly turned around to face Jaden Yuki and his group who were walking behind him.

"Uh... is this okay?"

"Yusei, let them both go... Is this the perfect ending you were talking about?"

Judai Yuki, bewildered by Yusei's actions, had a face full of question marks.
