Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

After that, she walked up to Yusei and, while he was still looking bewildered, suddenly grabbed his wrist: "Yusei... was it you? Lately, I've felt like someone's eyes are on me. Is it because of you guys?"

Holding Yusei's arm to stop him from escaping, Asuka also turned her gaze to the others beside her.

"...Huh? What? What?"

Suddenly being mistaken for a peeping tom and caught in the crossfire, Yusei instinctively froze for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that he seemed to have been made a scapegoat for the bespectacled man from earlier.

In fact, given the goodwill he had built up with Asuka before, there was nothing wrong with him peeping at her.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that if he were to ask, Asuka, whose progress in winning him over was almost maxed out at that point, would be willing to show him some attractive things.

However... now, after being affected by the effects of the Destruction Light, Asuka has already stood on the opposite side of Yusei and the others, and in her heart, she regards everyone as her enemy.

In that case, the situation would be completely different.

"Asuka, you've got it wrong! We just got here!"

"Yeah, yeah, there was a super suspicious person here just now!"

Seeing that Yusei was being treated as a suspicious ringleader, Jaden Yuki and Kenzan quickly spoke up to defend him.

After a moment of hesitation, Marufuji Sho decisively shut his mouth, seemingly lost in thought.

"...Oh? A suspicious person?"

Raising an eyebrow, she grasped Yusei's arm, turned her gaze to Asuka among the others, and then asked casually, "So, where is that suspicious person you mentioned?"

In Asuka's view, apart from Yusei, whose arm she was holding and who looked helpless, there was only Yuki Jaden and his group who were traveling with Yusei.

There was no one else present.

"Uh... he slipped away a moment ago, and we're just about to go find him!"

Under Asuka's scrutinizing gaze, Jaden Yuki scratched his head and then answered in a somewhat uncertain tone.

While they were chatting and arguing, that kid probably already disappeared.

In fact, no one was sure whether they could catch up with the bespectacled man.

Therefore, Jaden Yuki was unable to give a definite answer.

"Ha~ Do you even believe that yourselves?"

With a cold snort, Asuka turned and stared at Yusei, whose arm she was holding: "Yusei, I never thought you were like this, Yusei, who would repeatedly peep into girls' dormitories... This time, I've finally caught you red-handed!"

"Um, Asuka... would you believe me if I said you're mistaken?"

After thinking for a moment, Yusei tentatively asked the girl in front of him a question.

If it were the woman of the past, she would definitely have believed in herself.

But now...

"Ha, there's no point in saying more. Come with me to the principal's office!"

Ignoring Yusei's explanation, Asuka sneered and then planned to drag Yusei along to report the information to the acting principal, and then publicly execute him.

"Oh... the principal's office?"

Upon hearing the name of the principal's office, Yusei couldn't help but think of Tenmiya Yu, who worried about everything just like her own mother.

Good heavens... If Miss Jie finds out about this, my reputation will be ruined by this misunderstanding!

With this in mind, Yusei made a desperate decision!

"Asuka, you forced me to do this!"

As Yusei said this, his eyes narrowed, and under the watchful eyes of Yuki and the others, he suddenly stretched out his unrestrained arm and pulled Asuka into his arms.

Yusei stared into the girl's eyes, which widened in surprise, then leaned in and kissed her lips.

"……Well!"

Startled by Yusei's aggressive move, Asuka instinctively reached out to push him away.

However, Yusei, realizing Asuka's actions, hugged her even tighter and gradually deepened his kiss.

As time went by, Asuka's resistance gradually weakened.

As if her strength was being drained away little by little, her eyes began to well up with tears.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Asuka, who had previously been so assertive, gradually gave up her resistance and collapsed into Yusei's arms.

The hand that was originally holding Yusei's arm was now gently placed on Yusei's chest, separated by the enormous human heart.

Jaden Yuki: "...Holy crap!"

Kenzan: "Brother Yusei, you're awesome!"

Marufuji Sho: "Asuka... Ughhhhh..."

Seeing Yusei's astonishing actions and Asuka's unusually unresisting reaction, the shocked crowd reacted with varying degrees of intense emotions.

On Jaden Yuki's and Kenzan's side, there was shock and amazement, while on Sho Marufuji's side, there was a deep sense of despair.

Long ago, Marufuji Sho had dreamed of the school beauty confessing her love to him. However, when he actually saw Asuka gradually giving up her resistance in Yusei's arms, he couldn't help but feel a sense of heartbreak.

However, no matter how Marufuji Sho thinks or sees it, it has absolutely nothing to do with Yusei.

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

That is to completely persuade Asuka to give up the idea of ​​tattling.

Although the time and place were wrong, the people were always right.

In any case, Tenjouin Asuka is one of my harem candidates!

So, there's never anything wrong with being closer to your wife!

I, Yusei, am definitely not that kind of vulgar peeping tom! Even if I'm going to look, I'll look openly and honestly!

Thinking this, Yusei saw that Asuka no longer intended to resist, so he decided to let go of her arm.

however……

"Ughhhhh... You beast! Let go of that girl!"

An exasperated voice, accompanied by rapid footsteps, suddenly rang in Yusei and Asuka's ears.

Upon hearing the voice, Yusei narrowed his eyes, then released Asuka, who was in a daze, from his arms and turned his gaze toward the person who had come.

Then he saw the bespectacled male classmate who had run away at lightning speed earlier, and who was now staring at him angrily.

Seemingly provoked by his intimate actions with Asuka, the guy who had initially run away, suspected to be a voyeur, returned.

Or perhaps, he had been hiding nearby, observing everyone's actions.

Judging from the intense anger etched on his face, this guy was clearly planning to attack Yusei.

"Damn it, stop right now!"

"You Osiris Red loser, how dare you lay a hand on the goddess of the Duel Academy... and even... kiss..."

Upon witnessing his dream girl being attacked by Yusei (?), the bespectacled boy felt a surge of incredible courage that even he found hard to believe.

Driven by this courage, he rushed out of the bushes without hesitation and came to Asuka's side, standing in front of Yusei in her place.

Seeing Yusei, the culprit, looking completely calm, the bespectacled man's anger intensified.

"Hmm? White uniform...who are you?"

With a dazed look, Asuka pressed her lips, which had just been kissed by Yusei, and looked up at the bespectacled man who had suddenly stood in front of her.

Asuka, her cheeks slightly flushed, did not show any resistance to Yusei's actions, even in her albino state.

After being bothered by Yusei and the bespectacled man, her initial thought of telling on them vanished without a trace.

"Ah! Don't worry! Asuka, with me here, they won't be able to lay a hand on you anymore!"

"No, who are you?"

"Ah...it's that suspicious guy from earlier!"

"Asuka, this is the person we were talking about!"

With the bespectacled man, an outsider, disrupting things, the ambiguous atmosphere that had been surrounding everyone dissipated considerably.

Pointing in the direction of the bespectacled man, and seeing this guy walk right into their trap, everyone's faces immediately showed a playful expression.

"Yusei, your name is Yusei, right?"

Ignoring the accusations around him and the questioning look from Asuka, the bespectacled man, living in his own world, frowned, adjusted his glasses, and then raised his arm, pointing at Yusei: "From now on, I, Kanda Tsuyoshi, will be your opponent!!!"

"Huh?" Looking at the bespectacled man standing between Asuka and himself with an expression of utter disbelief, Yusei raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure you want to duel me?"

"That's right! If I win, you're not allowed to bother Asuka anymore!" Unlike the others who called her Tenjouin-san, she addressed Asuka by her name directly, just like Yusei and the others who were closer to her.

Clearly, this bespectacled man had already subconsciously come to regard Asuka as his own possession.

"What's going on with that guy?"

"I have absolutely no idea what this guy is doing..."

Seeing the bespectacled man's series of perplexing actions, a series of question marks appeared above everyone's heads.

What are they all about?

Is this guy missing his medication or something? He doesn't look like a normal person at all.

"That's quite interesting. Are you planning to duel with Yusei, Akihabara-kun?"

Although she was puzzled by the bespectacled man who suddenly appeared, Asuka, now a member of the Society of Light, still gave him a symbolic look of admiration for his courage after seeing the white uniform he was wearing, which represented the Society of Light.

Because they had been repeatedly used as experience points by Yusei and his group, many members of the Society of Light now harbor a sense of terror towards Osiris Red, the Demon Lord.

Only an ignorant person like the bespectacled man, who doesn't care about the outside world, would dare to say such brainless things to Yusei.

"It's not Akihabara... it's Kanda, which is one stop earlier..."

Kanda opened his mouth and corrected Asuka's name after she was called by the wrong name.

"Hmm~ As expected of a member of the Society of Light, you've got guts! Ueno!"

"...That's the next stop after the next stop after that stop."
