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

Led and guided by the bunny-eared loli who had transformed into a "Star Peak City tour guide," the two of them visited as many famous places as possible near Star Peak City, interspersed with some very ordinary shops.

Toy stores, cake shops, game stores, and burger joints like KFC are all located in very ordinary places, and the mode of transportation they use is also very common.

I used the subway and shared bikes, depending on the road conditions.

Every time she experiences it, Mashiro Seahorse is very excited, finding it much more enjoyable than going to those so-called popular areas.

"Um! Yuki, I want to eat that!"

"Okay, okay, here you go. Be careful and eat slowly."

Yuki handed the marshmallow to Mashiro the seahorse and shook her head with amusement as she watched the little girl with her rabbit ears swaying incessantly.

"Mashiro, have you never eaten these things before?"

"I've eaten before, but I've never eaten in a place like this."

While intently licking a marshmallow, Mashiro Kaiba replied, "Apart from Star Peak City, I spend most of my time at home, and the maids and housekeepers prepare whatever I want to eat. Even when I go out, I don't have much of a chance to come here."

"That's it..."

Yu Xi finally understood why Kaiba Mashiro had such a fondness for those ordinary shops.

While there are similar situations in DL, there are still differences between the real and virtual worlds. Perhaps this could be described as "a noble lady suddenly wanting to experience the life of an ordinary person"?

"If it weren't for you, Yuki, I don't know how long it would have been before we could go out and play like this again."

With a look of delight at having her wish fulfilled, Mashiro Kaiba's eyes narrowed happily. Then, she looked at Yuki expectantly and asked, "Hey, let's go to the card shop next, Yuki! I want to go there!"

Despite saying she would be Yu Xi's tour guide, it was actually Loli herself who had the most fun.

Seeing this, You Xi couldn't help but smile slightly. This must be what it feels like to have a cute little sister.

"A card shop? Sure. In that case, there's a place I'd like to stop by on my way. Oh, and Mashiro, you don't mind if I bring a few more people, do you?"

"Several people?"

"Yes, they're my teammates. We had already agreed to go to that card shop together."

As You Xi spoke, she took out her phone, found the corresponding name in her contacts, and dialed it.

Then, to his surprise, he heard a familiar cell phone ringtone coming from not far away.

"Eh?"

You Xi turned her head in surprise and saw a girl whose appearance was completely unrecognizable from her original self. She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of bright green eyes, and greeted You Xi with a dry laugh: "Hahaha, what a coincidence, Xiao Xi."

"Wu, Xue, what are you two doing here?"

Upon hearing the familiar voices and seeing the girls' beautiful faces—so familiar they couldn't be more so—after they took off their glasses, You Xi immediately recognized them and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"How about that? Were you startled, Xiao Xi?"

After hanging up the phone, Xing Yewu, twirling her sunglasses and wearing a sun hat, smiled sweetly and said, "Ta-da! This is a rare new skin, isn't it? The camouflage effect is outstanding!"

The white-haired girl next to her, whose attire was similar to hers, said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yu Xi. I couldn't stop Wu from acting up."

Xingye Wu pouted and protested upon hearing this.

"Hey—it's not nice of you to throw the pot ring at me, Xiaoxue. You're having a lot of fun, aren't you?"

It must be said that Hoshinobu and Izayoi Yuki hid themselves quite well.

They fully utilized their talent and skills in dressing up and makeup, slightly modifying and concealing their original appearance, and changing their hairstyles slightly, which made them look very different in terms of temperament and characteristics.

In addition, Yuki's attention was always focused on taking care of and protecting Kaiba Mashiro, until this unexpected phone call made her realize that the two girls were actually very close to her.

No wonder he had always felt that someone was secretly watching him; he had thought it was Masashi's bodyguard.

That's what happened.

"No, since you two came along, you should have told me sooner. Why..."

"In that case, wouldn't we be unable to see many interesting things?"

Before the game could finish, Xingye Wu preemptively confessed her evil intentions.

However, her frankness and openness gave off a sense of righteousness and integrity, leaving You Xi speechless.

The blonde girl continued talking non-stop.

“Xiao Xi, you did a great job. We’ve been watching everything from beginning to end. Xiao Xue and I were worried that you might do something wrong and we would have to help you in time to fix it, but nothing like that happened in the end.”

"Didn't you always feel it was a pity?"

Izayoi Yuki chimed in, bluntly criticizing, "They say Yuki didn't give you a chance to be the damsel in distress, which made it impossible for you to make a more dashing entrance."

"No way! Xiaoxue, you can't just slander people out of thin air!"

Watching Hoshino Mai bicker and argue with another girl like a little clown, Kaiba Mashiro, finally snapping out of her daze, tugged at Yuuki's sleeve.

"Hey, Yuki, those two are your teammates?"

"Yes, Mashiro. Let me introduce you."

Yuki nodded and briefly explained the identities of Hoshino and Izayoi Yuki to Kaiba Mashiro. As for Kaiba Mashiro, there was no need for further explanation.

As Yu Xi explained, the blonde girl also crouched down slightly to meet the bunny-eared loli's gaze.

"Hello, little sister Mashiro! It's nice to meet you. I hope you'll take care of me in the future. Nozomi and I are the same age. If you'd like, you can call me Mai-neechan. I'm sure we can become good friends."

"No way!"

Kaiba Mashiro rejected Hoshino Mai's overly familiar suggestion without even thinking, and even hid behind Yuuki with a wary look on her face.

"You're only a few years older than me, I don't want to call you 'sister'. You come up here demanding to be called 'sister' and then you hide and stalk others... I think you're up to no good."

"what……"

"That's really rare."

Hoshino Mai's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Izayoi Yuki suppressed a laugh and said, "Mai, you're usually very popular with children. Is this the first time you've been disliked?"

"Waaaaah, if you know, don't tell anyone, Xiaoxue..."

Xingye Wu put on a hurt expression, but unfortunately, no one present sympathized with her or paid her any attention.

After all, at least half of this is the girl's own fault, and the other half is obviously her faking crying.

"Alright everyone, let's stop fooling around here."

You Xi glanced at the wall clocks on the nearby shops and said, "It's getting late. Let's head over to that shop now. We should still make it in time."

"Ok!"

"Well, it would be good to resolve this now."

Rejuvenated, Hoshino Mai and Izayoi Yuki immediately agreed, while Kaiba Mashiro asked with curiosity, "That card shop sounds interesting, Yuki?"

"I don't know if it's interesting or not, but I think it probably won't disappoint?"

You Xi said uncertainly.

Then, he entered the name he already knew from Teruaki Satomi into the "Traveler Map" app on his phone, and led the girls along the way, amidst the envious and jealous stares of the passersby.

They arrived at their destination shortly after setting off.

It was because she realized that the shop that Satomi Teruaki had recommended was nearby that Yuki decided to come over.

Since it's going to happen anyway, might as well get everything sorted out today.

"Is this the card shop you wanted to come to, Yuki?"

"Well, this is it."

The store occupied the area of ​​several ordinary shops, and its three-story height made the interior exceptionally spacious. Outside the store stood a sign that read "Chaos and Pig-Slaughtering Knife Card Shop" in the common language of this world.

"Wow, this shop looks really grand. It doesn't look like the kind of place you see in novels and comics."

Xingye Wu, looking around the shop, said with some regret.

Izayoi Yuki, who had already investigated the information, remained expressionless.

“That’s normal. Those run-down shops that are tucked away in some nook or cranny, waiting for the protagonist to come and plunder their bargains, can’t stay in business forever. Besides, this is a very bustling commercial street.”

Those who can occupy a place in such a commercial street must not be in such a sorry state.

In fact, given the prevalence of duels, this shop should be the most popular and busiest on this commercial street.

As soon as Youxi and his group entered, they could see duelists everywhere.

These "kindred spirits," varying in age, gender, and attire, gathered in small groups, engaging in lively discussions. In front of and around them were various cards, carefully protected by glass cases.

These cards are sold individually, from various card companies, and some are even masterpieces. There are also counters selling cards by pack, but those are mostly frequented by children around the same age as Mashiro Kaiba.

"Wow! So many people! So this is what a real card store looks like!"

Seahorse Zhenbai's eyes shone brightly as he looked around constantly.

At the same time, one of the available waiters in the store saw You Xi and his group enter and immediately stepped forward with a smile to ask them what their purpose was.

"Hello, guests. How can I help you?"

Yu Xi also politely said, "Hello, we were introduced by Mr. Satomi Teruaki, and this is our letter of introduction. May I ask if Mr. Gao Wen is in the shop?"

"Are you looking for the store manager? I understand, please wait a moment."

The waiter gave a slight bow and immediately led the waiter into a room at the back of the shop.

Then, a middle-aged man came out from inside.

"I've been waiting for you for a while now. Are you the people Satomi was talking about?"

Ah, I can't finish writing anymore, I need to take another day off.

As the title suggests, I need to take one day off.

Glug glug ...
