Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"So, isn't Michelle prettier?"

"Sho, it seems like you have something else to say. Just say it all at once." Yusei reminded him, noticing that Marufuji Sho's gaze kept darting back and forth between the poster and Asuka.

What mischief is that brat up to now?

"Uh...did you see through me?" Marufuji Sho, looking embarrassed, scratched his head helplessly after Yusei exposed his little secret.

After adjusting his glasses, his expression gradually became serious.

Yusei: "?"

Under Yusei's curious gaze, Marufuji Sho slowly turned around, walked to Asuka, maintained a social distance, and then...

Then, without hesitation, right under everyone's noses, he knelt down in front of Asuka in a dogeza (OTZ) position...

That resolute posture was full of a gentleman's pursuit of beautiful things.

Everyone: "...Huh?"

Asuka: "???"

Seeing Marufuji Sho's sudden baffling behavior, not only Asuka, who was directly involved, but also the other bystanders couldn't help but show suspicious expressions.

Brother Xiao Xiang, what the hell are you planning to do by adopting such a humble posture?

"Asuka-san, I'm begging you to save the Red Dorm!" Facing the puzzled Asuka, Marufuji Sho remained kneeling, bowing his head deeply. "This is my lifelong request! Please cosplay as the Dark Magician Girl!"

Her long, flowing blonde hair reaching her waist, the enormous, textured human heart, and her exceptionally high looks and popularity...

In this Duel Academy, there is probably no girl more suitable to cosplay as the Dark Magician Girl than Asuka!

"...Wow! So that's what you were thinking!"

Upon hearing Xiao Xiang's shocking remarks, You Xing's face immediately showed a look of realization.

Marufuji Sho's thoughts were actually what Yusei was thinking.

However, he couldn't be as humble as Brother Xiao Xiang...

"Wait... Xiang, don't do this!"

Startled by Marufuji Sho's sycophantic attitude, Asuka instantly became the center of attention, scrutinized by everyone. Her cheeks slowly flushed slightly: "Besides, I'm a student of Obelisk Blue, so it's not appropriate for me to participate in your dormitory's activities, is it?"

402 Fate has always been one step behind me.

"...What does it matter, Asuka!"

Beside Asuka, Tenjōin Fubuki, who hadn't spoken for a while, looked at her hesitant sister and a slow smile crept onto her lips. She said with a smile, "Perfect timing, I also want to see Asuka's cosplay~"

"……elder brother!"

Looking at Tenjōin Fubuki, who was deliberately stirring up trouble, Asuka couldn't help but let a hint of resentment flash in her eyes.

After regaining her memories, Tenjōin Fubuki gradually shed her seriousness and returned to her original cheerful self.

He felt a sense of pleasure from the incident caused by Marufuji Sho, so he did not hesitate to fan the flames.

"Huh? Asuka's going to cosplay as Dark Magician Girl? But that..."

Upon hearing this, Hayato seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he gave up on trying to persuade him.

"Asuka, are you planning to cosplay?" Taking this opportunity, Yusei also voiced his question: "If you really don't want to, you don't have to force yourself."

"No... not really."

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Asuka, rubbing her forehead, sighed helplessly, "There's just no way around it..."

Although there was the factor of other people's requests, she herself actually wanted to try this completely different look.

Cosplay of the Dark Magician Girl...

Is it really that good-looking?

She was actually quite curious too.

"If that's the case... then... hey! Wait... that over there, could it be...?"

Just as Asuka was making her decision and preparing to put it into practice, she idly glanced around at Yusei and suddenly noticed a strange object.

Upon seeing that thing, he immediately understood the words Hayato had wanted to say but couldn't bring himself to say.

I see……

So that's how it is! No wonder... no wonder...

"That strangely dressed person over there... is that Aunt Duomei? But that outfit..."

He opened his mouth, followed Yusei's gaze to Asuka on the side, his eyes widening slightly with surprise.

In her pupils, the image of an artificial monster was reflected...

Auntie Duomei... Auntie Duomei!

The old lady at the convenience store, the principal's long-time lover, the culprit who sparked the war between the two schools...

At this moment, however, she appeared in everyone's sight as a dark magician girl.

The black magician's form-fitting robes, which accentuated her figure, looked utterly wasted on her...

Whether it's the thick, exposed thighs or the cleavage hidden by fat... neither of them evokes any sense of beauty...

It takes a special skill to wear such beautiful clothes like that.

"Aww~ Everyone's looking at me~~~"

Seeing the curious gazes directed at her, Aunt Duomei, who was middle-aged and gradually gained weight, unabashedly struck a seductive model pose.

That scene was simply breathtaking...

Everyone who saw it went blind!

"...Why! Why is Aunt Tomie a dark magic girl?!" Marufuji Sho, blinded by the old lady's cosplay, covered his face with both hands and knelt on the ground in pain, letting out a hoarse cry.

Ahhh... my eyes!

I'm begging for someone who's never seen this before!!!

Hayato: "I wanted to say this but I couldn't find the chance... Every year, Aunt Tomie is basically in charge of the Dark Magician Girl cosplay..."

Xiang: "I didn't hear it~ I didn't hear it! I don't believe it! I absolutely refuse to believe such an outrageous thing could happen!!!"

Aunt Domi: "What?! How rude of me~ Black magic girl is my specialty!"

"Yes, yes, yes... because you're the principal's wife, you have special privileges~" These thoughts echoed in her mind, but on the surface, Yusei put on a completely different face: "Auntie Tomie~ can you strike that signature pose of the Dark Magician Girl?"

"...signature pose?"

"Yes, yes, it's that idol pose where he half-closes his eyes, puts his hands behind his back, and makes a peace sign near his eyes."

"Hahaha~ I thought it was something else! Isn't this simple?"

Like a female version of Zhang Fei, Aunt Duomei, upon hearing Youxing's request, quickly raised her arm and made a peace sign next to her left eye.

As she moved violently, the already stretched clothes could no longer withstand the pressure and tore open with a large tear.

"Oh! How strange~" Aunt Duomei couldn't help but complain as she looked at the torn sleeve: "...This dress fit perfectly last year, how come it's so tight this year?"

"..."

The crowd, witnessing this scene, were instantly petrified...

Meanwhile, Marufuji Sho, who was most looking forward to the Dark Magician Girl, fell into a state of utter despair, unable to recover...

……

In the black magic... after Aunt Tomie ruined the chubby girl's cosplay outfit, everyone had to choose other outfits from the remaining props.

Jaden Yuki chose a bizarre combination of a storm captain's green armor and a magician's hat, seemingly intending to cultivate both magic and martial arts to achieve all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor.

Asuka, on the other hand, cosplayed as the eldest sister from the "Harpie Sisters" card art, wearing an extremely gorgeous feather bodysuit.

As for Yusei... he borrowed some bandages from the infirmary, wrapped them around his neck and arms, then put on a black outfit, dressing up as Albus in black, exuding an aura of a chuunibyou dark hero.

The only incongruity was that his hair was black, not Albus's white.

However, this is actually not a big deal.

"Hmm...isn't this a bit too flashy? It seems like this is the only slightly normal girls' clothing left..."

Asuka, having changed her clothes, walked out of the changing room somewhat shyly.

Asuka waved her arm with the fake claw attached in front of everyone, feeling a slight sense of disharmony in her body, and uttered this question.

It was her first time cosplaying as a Duel Monster, and she was filled with a sense of novelty.

While there are humanoid monsters like the Great Glass (i.e., Sandriyon the Crystal Sage), her gorgeous white dress clearly required special customization.

With virtually no event budget (penny poor), Osiris Red certainly couldn't afford this specially commissioned item.

So, everyone had no choice but to make do with what they had...

"Hmm~ I think it's pretty good."

Pinching her chin, Tenjōin Fubuki gave her own assessment.

As expected of my younger sister, she looks good in anything!

"Is that so? Speaking of which... I actually wanted to invite Junko and Momoe to form the 'Hawk Girl Trio,' but they ran away because they were too shy..."

Speaking of which, Asuka glanced at Yusei, who was also dressed in a new outfit, and asked curiously, "Yusei, are you cosplaying as [Albus's Demise]?"

Youxing: “…”

Standing facing the wall, Yusei gazed silently at his reflection in the mirror.

Fubuki: "Uh... Yusei, what are you doing?"

"I am not a Yusei... I am now the Dark Yusei!"
