Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"How despicable!"

"Are you the devil?"

Faced with Professor Kunonos's malicious monopolistic behavior, the students could only offer a few helpless complaints.

Realizing they couldn't buy any rare cards today, they could only sigh and leave.

Upon seeing this scene, Professor Kunonos couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

Is this the right way?

As an elite, I should enjoy this feeling of being superior to others.

It's all that wretched Judai Yuki's fault!

His arrival messed everything up!

Professor Kunonos, having thought of this, couldn't help but stomp his foot before leaving the sales shop with the card.

……

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Jaden Yuki, who was running in the lead, urged the two behind him.

"Wait for me... Big brother!" Exhausted, Marufuji Sho gasped for breath.

"Well, there's no need to rush..." Yusei followed behind the two at a leisurely pace.

The three of them arrived at the sales area.

"How is this going?"

Where did that large group of people go?

Looking at the empty sales area, all three of them couldn't help but show surprise.

"Nobody's here... which means..."

"Could it be that……"

"They're all sold out!"

The three of them said their guesses in unison.

Yusei had considered that they might miss the opportunity to buy cards when they came here.

But to my surprise, the cards were sold out in just a short while.

These rich kids from Duel Academy are really something...

"Auntie! Auntie!"

Unwilling to give up, Jaden Yuki ran to the counter with a sliver of hope, intending to inquire if there were any cards left.

Seeing this, Yusei also walked towards the counter.

He remembered the auntie he had helped with Yuki Judai that morning.

Perhaps they will give you some thank-you gift.

However, the person standing in front of the counter was not the auntie the two had helped that morning, but a sweet-looking young lady.

Noticing how Yuki Judai addressed her, the young lady subconsciously frowned and glared at him angrily.

"Big...big sister..." Realizing he had mistaken someone for someone else, Yuki Judai quickly corrected himself after seeing the older sister's fierce gaze.

Just a moment ago, he sensed a strong killing intent emanating from the young woman...

This chilling feeling made even the staunchly straight-laced Jaden Yuki tremble.

Women are quite sensitive about their age.

Being called "auntie" by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy...

This complex feeling is probably hard for others to understand.

"Um...where did the new card go?"

Yukichi Judai scratched his head and asked the saleswoman his question.

"..." The saleswoman stared at Yuki Judai in silence.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to answer his question.

"Well, because one student bought a lot, this is all that's left."

As she spoke, the young lady took out a card holder from under the counter and handed it to the three people standing in front of the counter.

099 Aunt Domi's Thank You Gift

Yusei glanced at the card holder that the young lady handed him.

Judging from its appearance, it's the kind of card holder that costs 250 yen and contains 5 standard cards.

It's different from the ones sold at the card shop in Muto Sugoroku before.

The card holder in front of me has a green packaging overall.

The front of the packaging features the Duel Academy crest, not an image of Duel Monsters.

Therefore, it's impossible to know what's inside the card holder from the patterns on the outside.

This wave is essentially like a blind box.

What cards you get depends entirely on luck.

"Eh?"

"Is there...only one left?"

Upon hearing the saleswoman's regretful words, Yuki Judai and Marufuji Sho couldn't help but show expressions of disappointment.

Yusei didn't seem to care.

Similar to Daichi Misawa, his deck doesn't really need new cards.

The reason I followed the two of them is simply out of curiosity.

Even without any new cards being added, Yusei doesn't think he'll lose to anyone.

"What should we do...brother?"

“The written test is hopeless… I was thinking of at least improving my deck before the practical test…” Looking at the only card pack on the table, Marufuji Sho cast a pleading look at Yuki Jaden and Yusei.

They practically slept through the written test just now...

"Yusei, what are you thinking?"

Jaden Yuki turned around, wanting to ask Yusei for his opinion.

After all, all three people present were qualified to receive this unique card pack.

He couldn't make decisions for Yusei just because he was Marufuji Sho's older brother.

"I don't care, you can do whatever you want."

Noticing Jaden Yuki's gaze, Yusei shrugged and said.

“That’s settled then. You can have this bag of cards with Sho.” After receiving Yusei’s affirmative reply, Yuki Judai grinned at Marufuji Sho.

"Will you give it to me?"

"This is the last pack!" Marufuji Sho was stunned.

"Yusei and I both think it's fine, so you don't need to be so polite with us." Jaden Yuki waved his hand, indicating that the two of them didn't mind.

"But...today's monthly exam is a very important one!"

"We're enemies too..."

Recalling what Hayato had said to him that morning, Marufuji Sho found the two's attitude somewhat unbelievable.

Even though Big Brother himself said that duelists don't need camaraderie...

Why did both of them give the bag of cards to themselves?

"Enemy? Why?" Upon hearing Marufuji Sho's words, Yuki Judai's face showed a puzzled expression.

“I see…” Yusei stroked his chin, recalling what happened that morning.

It seems that Hayato-sensei has instilled some unhealthy ideas in Marufuji Sho...

Marufuji Sho isn't very determined; he changes his mind easily after just a few words from someone.

"Uh... that..."

Facing the candid gaze of Uesugi Judai, Marufuji Sho began to stammer.

He couldn't very well tell his older brother that he already considered him an enemy in his heart...

Fortunately, Jaden Yuki just smiled and then patted Sho Marufuji on the shoulder.

"More importantly, we'll have some time before we put this into practice. Let's finish up here and build our decks together!"

It seems that Jaden Yuki did not take Sho Marufuji's words to heart.

"Big brother..."

Seeing how good his older brother was to him, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but show a look of regret on his face.

I can't believe I even had the thought of betraying my older brother...

It really shouldn't be!

"Ok!"

Marufuji Sho nodded heavily to the two people beside him, and then bought the only card pack.

Seeing that the matter was over, Yusei planned to lead the way out of the sales department.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Yusei was about to take a step, a familiar voice came from behind the counter.

Following the direction of the sound, Yusei looked toward the counter.

Behind the saleswoman, a figure slowly appeared.
