Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Even buying lunch can be a hassle... Yusei really didn't expect this situation...

"My turn, draw a card!"

Yusei tore open the bread packaging, which was printed with the Duel Academy logo but whose specific type was unclear, and took a bite.

In order to snatch the Golden Egg Bread before Jaden Yuki, who has an incredible luck with gacha pulls, Yusei deliberately sat near the entrance today and rushed out the moment the bell rang.

All of this was just to increase my chances of good luck by even the slightest bit before the tenth generation of the Godly Draw...

"This flavor... is..."

As the curry flavor gradually spread in his mouth, Yusei's expression turned bitter.

Today is another unlucky day for me...

hateful!

Is it possible that the golden egg bread, which is only available once a day, will be snatched away by that brat, Yuki Judai?

A flash of resentment crossed Yusei's eyes as he turned to look in the direction of Jaden Yuki.

He arrived at the sales department almost at the same time as Yusei, also holding a package of bread he had chosen.

Hiss!

"Ah wu..."

Tearing open the packaging in his hand, Yuki Jaden stuffed the bread, whose contents he didn't even know, into his mouth.

Having won the Golden Egg Bread multiple times, he was undoubtedly the King of Egg Breads. Therefore, without any hesitation, Yuki Jaden took a big bite of the bread in his hand.

Click...

Unlike before, the sound of teeth biting down was accompanied by the sound of hard objects being crushed.

"This flavor... is chestnut bread..."

With a puzzled expression on his face, Jaden Yuki chewed his food and looked at the bread filling exposed in his hand.

At this time of year, it should have been a dazzling golden color there...

However, what I saw today was a dark, chestnut-filled lump.

"Huh? Big brother didn't draw the golden egg... That's strange... What happened?"

Looking at the bread in Yuki Judai's hand, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

There is only one light a day, a single ray of light buried deep within the pile of bread.

Getting the golden egg bread is a win!

If even his older brother, Jaden Yuki, couldn't get it, then probably no one else will be able to...

"Even you guys didn't get selected..."

Asuka, her shoes stomping on the ground and holding bread in her hand, appeared in Yusei and the others' field of vision.

"Asuka?"

Raising his head, Jaden Yuki had a surprised expression on his face.

The girls in Obelisk Blue have their own Western-style restaurant, so they don't have to come over and fight for bread like these guys.

However, the Asuka in front of him was holding an already opened card-drawing bread package.

Clearly, she was also a loyal fan drawn in by the gacha system, just like Yusei, who wasn't initially interested but couldn't resist her curiosity and tried opening gacha packs, eventually becoming deeply engrossed in it...

"Asuka...you don't actually like egg bread, do you?"

After quickly stuffing the bread into his mouth, Yusei cast a teasing glance at Asuka.

I never imagined that Asuka, a model student, would be interested in this kind of thing, besides myself.

Omosiloy (That's really funny)!

"Huh? Is that so?"

Upon hearing Yusei's words, Jaden Yuki and Sho Marufuji also cast curious glances at Asuka.

"No, don't talk nonsense, I was just practicing drawing cards... I don't like bread!"

A hint of panic appeared on Asuka's face as she avoided everyone's gaze, turning her face to the side. However, a blush was already rising on her cheeks that she couldn't hide.

Although she said she wasn't there for the golden egg, her actions completely betrayed her.

By any measure, they're here specifically to get the golden egg!

"It really is...it really is like that..."

"...I'm sorry everyone! Actually, there are no golden egg breads here..."

Seeing the doubtful expressions on everyone's faces, Asuka wanted to explain, but at that moment, Aunt Tomie's apologetic voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Hey?"

Upon hearing this unexpected news, everyone couldn't help but cast curious glances at Aunt Duomei.

There was no golden egg bread among the pile of bread...

Why deliberately omit the golden egg bread from the pile of bread? Is it a deliberate attempt to create scarcity and make money?

If that's the case, then Aunt Duomei, you're going to get flamed for saying these things at this time!

"Ah...it's not what you think!"

Noticing the questioning and skeptical looks from those around her, Aunt Duomei quickly waved her hand and explained, "Actually, the golden egg bread that was originally stored in the warehouse was stolen by someone, so there won't be any new golden egg bread appearing for a while..."

"Strangely, only the golden egg bread was stolen; the other breads were perfectly intact... I clearly put them all in the pile of bread, but I couldn't find them when I did the morning inventory..."

"What?! It got stolen?! Who the hell ruined my plans?!"

Hearing the words coming from Aunt Tomie, Yusei couldn't help but show an angry expression on his face.

Good grief, I originally thought I was just unlucky and that's why I'm considered unlucky...

So, someone stole my opportunity before I even had a chance to compete?

"Speaking of which... only stealing the egg bread means this thief's gacha skills are on par with the big brother's..."

"Are there really people like that in the Duel Academy?"

Sho Marufuji scratched his head, a bewildered expression on his face.

"I'm sorry... everyone was so looking forward to it..."

As she spoke words of apology, Aunt Domi bowed to everyone again.

"Auntie Duomei, you don't need to apologize!"

Reaching out his large hand into the void before him, Yusei, his heart burning with rage, declared, "You are not wrong. The one who is wrong is the thief who stole the bread!"

"That despicable thief! He stole my last hope! I must catch that brat!"

"In that case, I'll help too!"

With a thumbs-up and blinking, Jaden Yuki also spoke up, expressing his willingness to join the ambush: "As a hero of justice, I absolutely cannot tolerate guys who do such things!"

"You guys..."

With a touched expression on her face, Aunt Duomei cupped her hands to her chest.

"We'll lie in ambush here tonight and wait for him to appear! Xiang! You're coming with us, right?"

Patting Marufuji Sho on the shoulder, Yuki Judai asked with a confident expression.

Although it was asking for Marufuji Sho's opinion, under these circumstances, it essentially eliminated his option to refuse.

"Uh... sigh..."

Marufuji Sho's expression changed repeatedly. He had originally wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, given the stares coming from all around him.

Even he couldn't bring himself to say the words of refusal...

"Since it's decided, let's meet here tonight!"

As Yusei relayed the assembly time to Aunt Domi, a barely perceptible glint flashed in his eyes.

Although we don't know who did it...

However, offending me, You...

Your body is practically dead by now...

……

That night, in the lounge of the sales department at Duel Academy.

Yusei chose to stay and stake out the area. Also present were Judai Yuki, Sho Marufuji, who was forced to come along, and Hayato Maeda, who was innocently dragged along by Marufuji.

The four people from the Osiris Red Dormitory gathered together like this.

Besides these grown men, there was Asuka sitting alone on a chair to the side, her plump, snow-white legs crossed, slowly reading a book in her hand.

For some reason, when people gathered at night, Asuka appeared here with her arms crossed, in addition to Hayato.

In her words, she had a lot of free time lately and was curious about this matter, so she came to take a look, and there was no special meaning behind it.

but……

No matter how you look at it, Asuka's behavior suggests that she is quite concerned about the events surrounding the golden egg bread...

It seems that, like Yusei, Asuka harbors similar negative feelings about not winning the golden egg bread, and is completely unable to forgive the thief who stole it...

"I know the bread was stolen... but... why am I stuck here...?"

Hayato, who had been brought there, looked at Yusei and the others with a face full of questions and asked them what his purpose was in being there.

He was lying in his dorm room, leisurely contemplating life, when Marufuji Sho suddenly dragged him here...

seemingly……

This whole thing had nothing to do with me from the very beginning...

"Is there even a question? Of course, it's for Aunt Duomei!"
