Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"But...I clearly lost..."

Upon hearing these words, Oyama suddenly raised his head and looked at the two of them, seemingly trying to find some sense of recognition from Yusei and Yuki Jaden.

“Yeah… You mentioned before that drawing cards is related to nature or something, but compared to that, didn’t you feel very excited and thrilled when you were drawing cards just now?” Yusei put away his Duel Disk and shared his thoughts with Daiyama.

"...(Unable to refute)" Recalling the scene of drawing the magic card [One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw] just now, Daiyama could not refute Yusei's words.

At that critical moment when failing to draw the card would mean certain death, Da Shan truly felt the excitement of the unknown that comes with gacha pulls. He even shouted to the bright moon in the sky, "Goodbye! Unlucky player, and my cowardice!"

"You feel incredibly excited when you draw cards. That's why you're able to persevere in such a harsh environment, maintain your interest in drawing cards, and even receive the favor of the God of Duels, allowing the God to draw that magic card... isn't that right?"

At this point, Yusei stretched out his palm towards the kneeling Daiyama: "So even if you lose, don't be discouraged..."

"...What nonsense! The ultimate goal of gacha pulls shouldn't involve such pointless thoughts! What excitement that gacha pulls bring... I will never agree with your ideas!"

Seemingly unable to agree with Yusei's opinion, Daiyama shouted out his last act of stubbornness.

However, at the same time, he did not brush away Yusei's outstretched hand.

"Is it really?"

With a slight smile, Yusei, who saw through Daiyama's true thoughts, then said, "When you drew the only golden egg bread before, didn't you really feel a long-lost sense of excitement?"

"I……"

He tried hard to say something in rebuttal, and had already thought of all sorts of excuses and reasons in his mind, but he couldn't say anything when he saw the mountain being stared at by Yusei's eyes.

Looking at Aunt Domi, who was watching him with warm eyes, and recalling the past moments of Dashan, he couldn't help but reach out his arm and firmly grasp Yusei's outstretched hand.

"Yusei...I want to continue the duel...I want to draw more cards..."

"Ah! Let's duel again! You're always welcome to the Osiris Red Dormitory..."

Tears welled up in her eyes and, as Yusei pulled her to her feet, Daisan suddenly covered her eyes and burst into tears.

For the first time, I met someone who truly understood and accepted me.

They also gained the opponent they had been dreaming of.

Two joys overlapped.

This double joy brought even more joy.

They should have already enjoyed a dreamlike period of happiness.

However, why did it turn out like this...?

“…cough cough”

Sensing that the atmosphere had become strange, Asuka, who had been silent for a long time, quickly spoke up to break the eerie scene.

Having a strong liking for Yusei, he vaguely sensed the strange gaze that Daiyama was casting towards Yusei.

Could it be... that this guy named Daiyama has taken a liking to Yusei?

If such a thing really happens, she can't pretend she didn't see it.

Asuka certainly doesn't want Yusei, this handsome young man with a bright future, to go down a strange path!

He did this to avoid hurting Junko, who admired him, not because he wanted to do it himself...

Saying these comforting words to herself, Asuka walked to Yusei's side and shielded him behind her.

"Woman, get out of my way! I have absolutely no interest in you!"

With an impatient expression on his face, Daiyama, still holding Yusei's hand, didn't even bother to look at Asuka, the curvaceous blonde beauty who appeared before him.

In his eyes, there seemed to be no pity for the delicate flower at all.

"emmm……(=ω=；)"

it is more than words.

Even a fool should understand by now.

Yusei, taking in the scene before him, subtly released Daizan's hand.

wipe……

This guy, Da Shan, is actually gay...

You bastard, do you even deserve your rugged appearance?

The current situation is quite different from when we first encountered the Heavenly Palace Knot!

"Yusei, over here."

Extending her fair, white arm, Asuka pulled Yusei back towards the crowd, away from the mountains.

Before leaving, she made a point of looking at Dashan's face.

Regret, resentment, anger... and envy?

This emotion, which shouldn't have appeared, was on Dashan's face.

As Yusei drifted further away, Daiyama tried to extend his arm, but after thinking about it, he lowered it.

That's true, she's already taken.

The person who can stay by your side and accompany you through countless springs, summers, autumns, and winters is ultimately not me...

"???"

With a puzzled look on his face, Jaden Yuki watched Asuka's actions, then looked at Ooyama, who looked regretful, and scratched his head in confusion.

He thought that Dashan was still bothered by losing the duel that was supposed to verify the results of his cultivation.

Little did he know that he felt regret and pity for Yusei's hand that he had just released.

……

"Asuka, thank you for getting me out of that situation..."

Yusei gave Asuka a grateful smile and then grasped her hand in return.

“You helped me find my brother before, so I should give you something in return…” Yu Xing shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn’t need to be so polite to him.

After saying that, under everyone's gaze, Asuka suddenly and without warning hugged Yusei tightly.

Asuka suddenly felt a sense of crisis and just went for it!

She is the Queen of Obelisk Blue, and she doesn't need to care about anyone's opinion.

If you want to do something, just do it.

Even if you want to express your gratitude or show your feelings, there's no need to worry about what others think.

"???"

"Ah...this..."

"Damn... I'm so envious..."

"Asuka... and Yusei... when did they become like this?"

Asuka's sudden act of hugging Yusei shocked everyone present.

Aunt Duomei, seeing the unexpected scene, couldn't help but laugh and cover her mouth.

Marufuji Sho, whose face was practically etched with jealousy, almost popped his eyes out of their sockets.

Meanwhile, the distant mountains and Yukichi Judai's chin slammed to the ground with a thud.

As for Hayato... Hayato is tired, he's had his fill of dog food, and he's going to sleep.

“(⊙o⊙)…Hmm?”

"Asuka, what's wrong with you...?"

Feeling the warmth and fragrance emanating from his arms, and the soft body of Asuka, Yusei, unsure of what to do with his hands, endured the fiery gazes from everyone while trying hard to think of the right thing to do next.

It's a bittersweet experience; that's exactly the situation.

"Don't say anything, just let me hug you like this..."

A soft, unusual voice echoed in Yusei's ears. Asuka, who was pressed her entire body against Yusei, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.

She intended to use this action to make Yusei feel the beauty of girls.

Then completely extinguish any thought he might have of going astray.

The outside world is too dangerous. As a high-quality boy, you must always know how to protect yourself!

Otherwise, you'll be targeted by all sorts of strange people!

"..."

After hearing these words, Yusei gradually calmed down after the initial chaos.

Since the girl is so brave, I shouldn't be timid and beat around the bush anymore.

As long as I am not embarrassed, others are embarrassed!

Thinking of this, Yusei forcefully glared back at everyone!

What's wrong... Haven't you ever seen a man and woman being intimate before?

"Forehead……"

The group of people who were glared at by Yusei instinctively looked away.

Good guy...

Having no shame is...

……

Meanwhile, on the mainland, far from the island.

In a room on the top floor of the building where Yusei once stayed.

Achoo...!

After finishing a day's work, Amamiya Yui was sitting on her soft bed, telling her younger sister Amamiya Ria about the events that had happened to Yusei, when she suddenly sneezed without warning.
