Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

Jaden Yuki: "...Huh?"

"According to the rules of the Duel Academy, students who transfer in midway must first stay at Osiris Red for a period of time... With Saotome's grades, she will be able to transfer to Sun God Yellow very soon!"

"What? This kid actually managed to transfer to the Sun God Yellow!" Upon hearing what Teacher Daitokuji said, Marufuji Sho's eyes instinctively flashed with jealousy.

Why? Why is it that you, a transfer student, can advance to the next grade before me?!

I refuse to accept this!!!

"Well... I don't really understand, but anyway, there's one more new member in Osiris Red, right?" Scratching his head and grinning foolishly, Jaden Yuki had no idea that he'd already been added to Saotome's watch list...

However, given his personality, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't take it to heart!

"Hmm... let's try to get along well from now on." With his hands on his hips, Yusei, who was unsure how to interact with Saotome, sighed helplessly.

Since she's willing to disguise herself as a man to come here, she must have her reasons.

Then I should understand and support her, and there's no need to be so tactless as to expose her true gender.

"Great! I was just wondering what we'd do if we didn't have enough rooms..." Daitokuji-sensei, beaming as he hugged the fat cat "Pharaoh" that had jumped in front of him, said, "In that case, Saotome-san, you can stay in Yusei's dorm for now."

Yusei: "...Huh!?"

Jaden Yuki: "Oh! ^_^...Welcome, welcome!"

Sho Marufuji & Hayato: "We have no objection."

“…Okay.” Just as Yusei was hesitating about whether to have a private talk with Daitokuji-sensei, Saotome, who had heard the result of everyone’s conversation, nodded and agreed to Daitokuji-sensei’s proposal.

"Well... okay then."

Upon hearing Saotome Rei's reply, Yusei abandoned the idea of ​​saying anything more.

Since that's what they've said, let's leave it at that.

……

"Uh... what should we do next..."

After dinner, in Osiris Red Dormitory, in Yusei's room.

Saotome Rei walked into the room with four grown men, looking around the room with some unease.

Yusei was caught in a dilemma regarding her plans for the evening.

"Hmm...we only have four beds...and there's not much space left, so we can't fit another bed in..."

Resting his chin on his right hand, Yusei began to think about his next steps.

If, as he suspected, this transfer student named Saotome Rei is actually a girl, then this is a serious problem!

Four men and one woman were in a rather small room...

While nothing bad is likely to happen, there will always be some inconveniences in daily life.

For example, right now, where Saotome Rei will sleep tonight has become a problem...

Hayato goes without saying; his size is so large that he could take up an entire bed, leaving no room for anyone else.

There are vacancies at Marufuji Sho's place, but I'll pass on that one; I don't want to think about it anymore.

Jaden Yuki... Jaden Yuki likes to move around a lot when she sleeps, and sometimes she even snores... This isn't good either!

How about... I sleep with you?

Anyway, I won't do anything...

"It's alright, I can sleep on the floor. I already brought over the blankets." Just as Yusei was worrying about what to do, Saotome Rei, who was holding a blanket, suddenly suggested.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to sense Yusei's predicament and was therefore willing to compromise herself.

"How can this work?"

Upon hearing Saotome's words, Jaden Yuki, being the "righteous one," quickly suggested, "Sho, let's pair up and make room for Saotome!"

"Huh? Oh... okay then." After his initial shock, Marufuji Sho quickly nodded upon hearing his older brother's sudden suggestion.

Indeed, if the newcomers are made to sleep on the floor, wouldn't they become the villains who bully others?

"That's a good suggestion, I agree!"

Yusei nodded in agreement with Jaden Yuki's proposal.

Yusei had originally planned to give up his bed to Saotome, but since Jaden Yuki had said so first, he no longer needed to worry about it.

The matter is now perfectly resolved!

Congratulations! Congratulations!

"Alright, now that the accommodation problem is solved, let's go take a shower!" Saying this, Yuki Judai suddenly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his four-pack abs: "Hehehe... Saotome-kun, as a boy, you can get to know us better by scrubbing each other in the shower. I believe it won't be long before you're integrated into our big family!"

"...Hmm?" Saotome Rei, still unaware of the problem, turned her head in confusion towards Jaden Yuki, looking at the uniform that Jaden had taken off and carelessly tossed aside...

then……

"Ugh!"

Upon seeing Jaden Yuki's exposed upper body, Rei Saotome instinctively turned her head and let out a gasp.

"Ah this..."

Seeing Saotome Rei's girlish reaction, Yusei's expression also became amused.

If what was just a deduction and a little doubt before, then at this moment, that doubt has turned into certainty!

Saotome Rei was indeed a girl disguised as a boy!

If I'm not mistaken, Saotome Rei will definitely refuse their offer to go for a bath together...

"Then let's go!"

Packing a change of clothes and wearing only a pair of shorts, Yuki Judai, with a big smile on her face, proposed to Saotome Rei, who had her back to her, that they go to the bathhouse together.

As mentioned before, the bathhouse in Osiris Red is located outside the dormitory, and you have to go out to shower separately, which is completely different from the noble single deluxe dormitory in Obelisk Blue.

"No... I have a bit of a cold, you guys go take a shower..." Saotome Rei covered her flushed cheeks with her large beret, then coughed a few times, pretending that she was currently suffering from a cold and it was inconvenient for her to take off her clothes to shower.

"Is that so? Well then..." With a hint of disappointment on his face, Jaden Yuki didn't press the matter further. Instead, he called Yusei and the others to leave the room and head towards the bathhouse.

"Don't worry, I'll keep your secret."

Like Jaden Yuki, Yusei, who was the last to leave the room, kept himself lightly dressed and whispered in Saotome's ear, "...Although I don't know why you pretended to be a boy to infiltrate our place, let's get along well for the time being."

"!"

“…Ah!” Upon hearing Yusei’s words, Saotome Rei suddenly turned her head to look at Yusei’s departing figure, then let out a girlish scream as she saw the large shorts in front of her, before turning her body back again.

How to do how to do?

The fact that she was a girl was discovered by others...

I also saw the boy's body...

Waaah... I'll never get married...

With an expression as if she had witnessed the end of the world, Saotome Rei immediately threw herself onto her bed and buried her head in the blankets like an ostrich.

I forgot to mention, Yusei just quickly and efficiently made up the bed for Saotome Rei...

288 The world is vast and full of wonders (4K)

"Hahahahaha..."

Before Saotome Rei could react, Yusei closed the door to the room and teased her for a while before quickening his pace to catch up with Yuki Jaden and the others.

Ignoring the screams coming from behind him, Yusei wore a pleased expression.

"Yusei, what did you and Saotome talk about alone just now? Why did he make that sound..."

With a puzzled expression on her face, Yuki Judai, who still regarded Saotome as a boy and referred to her as "he", couldn't help but ask after seeing Yusei's face full of joy.

"It's nothing, I just told Saotome that she can come to us if she has any problems~" With a slight smile, Yusei quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that! Scrubbing people in the bath is much more fun!"

"That's right!"

Nodding in agreement with Yusei's statement, Jaden Yuki then abandoned his plan to ask further questions.

Just as Yusei said, he also fully welcomed Saotome Rei to seek his help.

After all, it is a hero's duty to help those in need!

……

In the open-air public bathhouse of Osiris Red, or rather, the outdoor public bathhouse, Yusei and his friends were wrapped in towels and sitting upright in a row by the bath, rubbing each other's backs.

"Hey, don't you guys think Saotome is a bit strange?"

While rubbing Hayato's back with a towel, Sho Marufuji, feeling somewhat puzzled, couldn't help but ask Jaden Yuki and Yusei behind him, "...She's short and cute, she seems like a girl!"

"Is that so?" Looking up at the moon hanging in the sky, Jaden Yuki replied somewhat calmly, "Well... there are all kinds of people... Sho, you're just overthinking it."

“Yes, there’s no need to dwell on this.” Seeing that Marufuji Sho had doubts about Saotome Rei’s gender, Yusei quickly smoothed things over: “...Instead of this topic, shouldn’t we switch things up now!”

"Oh, right!"

The sequence was just like this: Yusei rubbed Yuki Jaden's back, then Yuki Jaden rubbed Marufuji Sho, and then Marufuji Sho rubbed Hayato...

Now, it's time for a rotation.

Upon thinking about this, Yusei suddenly felt a sense of unease.

anyway……

I was supposed to be the last one...

But ever since just now... someone has been helping me scrub my back...

I was so preoccupied with Saotome's problem that I subconsciously overlooked this point and completely failed to notice the presence of others behind me.

However, when the time came for the exchange to happen... Yusei finally realized what was going on.

If I was the last one, then who was scrubbing my back just now...?

"Masaka (Could it be)...?"
