Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Soon after, another message came from Yuki.

Seahorse Mashiro immediately stared intently and exclaimed in surprise again.

"Hey hey hey! Meeting up! Saki, Yuki said he wants to meet me! What should I do? Should I say yes?"

written request for leave

I can't finish writing anymore, I've been having writer's block lately, so I'm taking a day off today.

Glug glug ...

Chapter 153: Date A Live?

What to do? What to do!?

A guy asked me out! What should I do?!

Kaiba Mashiro was unusually thrown into chaos.

After all, she had been taught by tutors hired by her brother since she was a child, and she had little contact with the outside world until she took the initiative to enroll in Xingfeng Duel Academy.

Within the Star Peak Duel Academy, given the prestige of the Kaiba family, no one would dare to approach her casually.

Therefore, although they met online, this was a first for Mashiro Kaiba.

That's incredibly exciting.

"Saki! What should I do?"

With her heart pounding, the bunny-eared loli was completely at a loss. She quickly turned to her most trusted maid for help, hoping to get some advice from her.

"That depends on what you think, Miss."

Saki didn't give an answer immediately, but instead asked Kaiba Mashiro, "Do you want to meet that player named Yuki right now? If so, I can arrange a time right away and prepare a suitable date location for you two."

"A date?! Saki, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

The maid's suggestion did nothing to calm the little girl down; instead, it seemed to add fuel to the fire.

However, Mashiro Kaiba was indeed somewhat tempted by this suggestion.

These past few days, she's had quite a bit of interaction with Yuki, the stranger, on DL. Although most of the time they're either playing cards or on their way to play cards, they still have a lot of conversations in between and in their spare time.

To be honest, she was also very curious about Yuki, the stranger, and wanted to know what her friend looked like in real life.

Generally speaking, friends met online rarely interact in real life; this is a kind of unspoken rule. However, this rule has been broken thanks to the Star Cup.

Originally, Mashiro Kaiba was hoping to have a fateful encounter with Yuki in the Star Cup, where they would recognize each other during a duel, even though neither knew who the other was.

Such occasions would be more formal and have a stronger sense of destiny.

But now that Yuki has recognized who I am, is there any point in continuing like this?

"Uuuuuuu..."

Mashiro Kaiba clutched her head, caught in a dilemma, but she couldn't keep Yuki waiting too long.

In the end, the little girl made a difficult decision.

……

"Ah, she actually agreed..."

"Hey, what? Xiaoxi, what did you promise?"

Emerging from the women's hot spring bath, Hoshino Mai, feeling completely refreshed, was about to head to the counter for an iced drink when she overheard Yuuki, who had left earlier and was waiting for the girls in the lobby, muttering in surprise.

The latter was holding his smartphone, and judging from the scene, You Xi was probably chatting online.

Youxi looked up at the sound: "Ah, Wu, you're already out? Where's Xue?"

"Xiaoxue is still soaking in the hot spring. She seems to really enjoy it. She probably won't be out for a while. Xiaoxi, were you chatting with someone just now?"

Hoshino, who had wrapped her beautiful body in a yukata and whose hair was still a little wet, sat down next to Yuki and asked curiously.

"Yes, that's actually the case."

Youxi didn't hide anything from Xingyewu and briefly explained the situation to the girl.

After listening to You Xi's story, Xing Yewu couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha! Xiaoxi, you're being too hasty. Who would ask someone out to meet right after meeting them online, especially a girl? You can't be this impatient; you'll only scare her away."

"Uh, I know that, it was just a moment of impulse..."

You Xi was slightly embarrassed.

After sending the message, he realized that it was indeed a bit abrupt.

Even if you can recall a message in online chat, the other party has already read it, so it's like spilled water; recalling it is just burying your head in the sand.

Fortunately, the final result wasn't too bad.

Contrary to what Xingyewu had said, it did not scare people away; in fact, the progress was quite smooth.

This was something that surprised You Xi.

He had originally thought he would be rejected.

"Well, isn't that great? This way, Nozomi, you've made connections with the higher-ups at Kaiba Corporation, bringing you one step closer to achieving your goal." Hoshino Mai knew Yuuki's purpose in participating in the Star Cup, and becoming friends with Kaiba Mashiro was definitely a good development. "But speaking of which... Nozomi, you're not a lolicon, are you?"

"of course not!"

When Xing Yewu cast a suspicious glance at him, You Xi immediately shook his head and denied it.

"It's true that I like children, but I wouldn't go so far as to have those kinds of thoughts about little girls. I just wanted to see if I could take this opportunity to get to know the Blue Princess better."

"In common sense, this is called having ulterior motives, Xiaoxi."

So that's not it!

You Xi repeatedly proved his innocence, and it was only with great difficulty that Xing Yewu believed him.

However, judging from the faint smile that lingered on the girl's lips, she probably just wanted to tease Youxi.

"Alright, alright, since you put it that way, Xiaoxi, I'll believe you—Xiaoxi, when you meet, could you perhaps bring a few more people with you?"

"Mai, are you planning to come too?"

"Not only me, but Xiaoxue will probably be very interested too."

Xingyewu turned her head and followed her gaze. Only then did Youxi realize that the white-haired girl had also finished soaking in the hot spring and come out at some point.

He probably overheard most of his conversation with Xing Yewu.

"It would be great, if it doesn't conflict with our travel plans. No, even if it does conflict, meeting with them would definitely be meaningful."

Izayoi Yuki nodded, not denying Hoshinobu's statement, but then changed the subject.

"However, this is a matter between Youxi and that blue princess, and it might not be a good thing for us to get involved."

The Blue Princess clearly only wants to see Yu Xi, and adding other people might only displease her. It wouldn't be good if she ended up refusing to meet Yu Xi.

"Hmm...that's true, that is indeed a problem."

I must admit, Izayoi Yuki is absolutely right.

If it were Xing Yewu herself, she would most likely also be unwilling to have other girls involved in her important dates.

"It seems there's no other way."

Thinking of this, Xing Yewu had no choice but to give up.

"Xiao Xi, what happens next is up to you. You mustn't let yourself be bewitched and let the other person deceive you, both physically and mentally."

"How can it be."

You Xi felt both amused and exasperated by Xing Yewu's earnest advice.

"I'm not a child, how could I be kidnapped?"

"That's hard to say, after all, she's a beautiful, rich, and soft-spoken woman who's easy to seduce."

The allure of a rich, beautiful, and successful woman is undeniable. If one could live off the wealth of a wealthy and beautiful woman like Ma Zhenbai, one would not only avoid ten years of hard work, but would never have to struggle again.

Of course, Xing Yewu was just joking. She knew that You Xi wasn't that kind of person.

If Yuki could be swayed by things like money, she wouldn't have refused Professor Kno's invitation in the first place.

"correct!"

Hoshino clapped her hands, as if she had come up with a good idea, and suggested, "Xiao Xi, although we can't go with you, we should be able to help you as a think tank. Don't worry about us, Xiao Xi! If you encounter any trouble while interacting with that young lady from the Kaiba family, just call us on your phone, and we'll definitely help you!"

"No, then there's no need for that..."

Seeing Xing Yewu's high spirits, You Xi's expression was somewhat subtle.

What kind of Date A Live plot reference is this?

Before Youxi and the two girls could continue their attack, Blue Princess sent another message as her phone vibrated and beeped.

Yu Xi looked closely and saw that Kaiba Mashiro had already arranged the time and place for their meeting.

Chapter 154 Face-to-Face Meeting

A gentle breeze was blowing, and the sun was shining brightly.

Despite it being July, the height of summer, the mornings weren't particularly hot.

The ground of the Blue-Eyed White Dragon Square, which had just been shrouded in a light rain, still exuded a cool, damp air, which perfectly dissipated the heat.

Numerous pedestrians weave through the giant dragon statue that gazes at the sky, creating a unique urban landscape with the 3D images and intelligent robots.

A little further away from the square, there is an elegant café. From the café’s second-floor balcony, you can easily see everything around the square.

At this moment, a little girl with legs wrapped in white stockings that reached past her knees, dressed in a style that was both fashionable and cute, sat on a chair near the balcony.

"Ugh—seriously, this is so slow! Why isn't Yuki here yet?! This is taking forever!"

A small complaint escaped her lips; the black-haired loli, Kaiba Mashiro, was nearing the end of her patience.

As always, she wore a silk scarf that was divided into rabbit ears on her head, but this time the scarf was a bright yellow.
