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

Why is her card here? It shouldn't be a reward from the trial, right?

"It sounds like something unexpected happened during the trial."

Akabane Ryo said, "If you don't mind, could you tell us what happened?"

"of course can."

Just like when she confessed everything to the Black Witch, there was nothing to hide from Xingye Wu and the others, so You Xi told them everything in detail.

After listening, the others understood why You Xi was surprised and confused.

"Hmm...could that be the reason?"

Xingye Wu, chin in hand, offered a conjecture: "Because that Black Witch actively participated in You Xijun's trial duel, she was also recognized by the mechanism as part of the trial, and therefore was included as part of You Xijun's reward when the rewards were calculated?"

"After thinking it over, this is probably the only possibility."

Xing Yewu's guess coincided with You Xi's thoughts, and he couldn't think of any other reason.

"Well, isn't this fine too?"

Xingye Wu said with a smile, "Although it's an unexpected surprise, no one should dislike getting a new powerful card, right? In that case, Yu Xi-kun, you can just accept it."

"It seems that this is the only way for now."

Yu Xi felt that something was still wrong. This "Black Witch" seemed to have something special about it, but he couldn't figure it out.

Surely he didn't turn even the game cartridges and Pokémon into his trial rewards, did he? That would be too ridiculous.

Just then, the sound of a door opening rang out, and everyone looked up.

The girl with white hair and red eyes, wearing a single ponytail, opened the door. It was none other than Izayoi Yuki.

"You're all here."

Xingyewu greeted her, "You're back, Xiaoxue! How did it go? Did you finish up your business over there?"

"It's almost all sorted out."

Izayoi Yuki nodded to her best friend and said, "I've reported everything I needed to to Inspector Ushio, and I've also taken your statements. Considering we're all students and have classes tomorrow, Inspector Ushio has decided to let us go for now. He'll contact us again if there's anything else that needs to be investigated."

"Where do I meet the chairman?"

Izayoi Yuki replied to Akabane Ryo, "Chairman Satomi and Inspector Ushio still have a lot to discuss, so they can't leave for a while. Of course, you can also choose to wait here until Inspector Ushio finishes his investigation of Chairman Satomi, and then you can leave with Kazuyuki."

"That's not necessary."

Feiyu said, "Our school has a curfew, so going back too late isn't a good thing. Hey Captain, we probably don't need to worry about the chairman, so let's just go back and wait for news. If it were the chairman, he would definitely say the same thing."

"...Let's do it this way."

Akabane Ryo agreed after thinking for a few seconds, but before leaving, they would definitely have to say goodbye to Chairman Satomi, or at least ask the Duel Guard to say so.

"Haha, goodbye then, Yuki, Hoshino!"

Having been granted permission to leave, Chunhu, who had been confined to his room and unable to move around freely, immediately let out a joyful shout of freedom.

He laughed and said, "Although a lot happened today, I still had a lot of fun. I hope we can go out and have fun together properly next time."

"Yes, there will definitely be a chance. Goodbye, Harutora, Tobi, and Akabane-senpai."

"Goodbye."

"See you next time, Kiyosumi and everyone."

After nodding to each other and saying goodbye, Akabane Ryo and the other two left the room first.

Then, Izayoi Yuki said to Yuki and the other person, "Well then, let's go back too. I have something I want to tell you on the way."

Chapter 92 The battle is not over yet.

"Let's start with the conclusion. Do you remember that dark duelist we mentioned a while ago?"

After a series of events, it was already past nine o'clock, and the clock hand was very close to ten o'clock.

Emerging from the large gaming experience store of Haima Corporation, the night sky was completely dark, devoid of any stars due to light pollution. Yuki, Hoshinobu, and Izayoi Yuki stood at the bus stop, chatting as they waited for the next bus.

The conversation continued to revolve around the series of events that occurred tonight.

"of course I remember."

Yuki replied, "Although I don't know the details, Uncle Ushio did mention some things to us. Izayoi was fighting that Dark Duelist before, right?"

"That's it."

Izayoi Yuki nodded slightly and said, "Now that you know, it's easier to talk. The true identity of that Dark Duelist is actually Kno-sensei, whom we met once before. Izumi-kun's feeling was right; he is indeed not a good person."

When Yuki rejected Keno's transfer invitation, she said that she didn't like the latter. At the time, both girls thought it was just a matter of personal impression and didn't take it to heart. Izayoi Yuki even reminded him not to judge a book by its cover.

In hindsight, perhaps Yu Xi had vaguely sensed something was amiss.

"I'm sorry, Izumi-san."

Thinking of this, Izayoi Yuki immediately apologized to the astonished Yuki, saying, "I should have trusted you more back then."

"No, no, there's nothing to apologize for."

"Yes, yes."

Xingyewu agreed with Youxi's opinion, saying, "No one could have predicted this beforehand, so how can you be blamed, Xiaoxue? It's good to be strict with yourself, but being overly critical of yourself is not right. That will only make you more stubborn and unable to see the real path you should take."

"...You really know all those profound principles, Wu."

"To each other."

Hoshinobu smiled smugly at Izayoi Yuki: "I have a lot of younger brothers and sisters, you know. A lot of life lessons and values ​​need to be cultivated from a young age. It'll be too late once they grow up."

"The children over at the church? That makes sense..."

Izayoi Yuki was naturally aware of Hoshinobu Mai's background and had also volunteered at the church a few times.

Despite living independently, Xingye Wu still harbors deep feelings for the Angel Church and considers the orphans there as her older sister, so it's not hard to understand why she would have such thoughts.

"Speaking of which, since that Mr. Kno was the Dark Duelist who had been committing crimes all this time, and was even defeated by you, Izayoi-kun, does that mean the case can be closed?"

Yu Xi spoke up, "Besides, with Satomi Sho in that state, he definitely can't do anything to us anymore. Does that mean we don't need to maintain our current vigilance anymore? We don't need to act together all the time anymore?"

Of course, there might be some lingering effects from Satomi Sho's incident, such as the doting mother retaliating. However, Chairman Satomi has assured that this matter will be handled cleanly and will not affect Yuki and the others.

Yuki didn't like Satomi Teruaki, but he also understood that he was a fairly competent egoist.

The trial card that was given to him could be seen as an investment to bury the hatchet; he wouldn't rashly do something that would be detrimental to his own interests.

After all, Yuki has Izayoi Yuki's connections in the Public Security Bureau, so if anything happens, suspicion will easily fall on Satomi Teruaki.

Then it won't be as easy to deal with as it was this time with Yu Xi, and no one wants to be targeted by the police from the Public Security Bureau.

But Izayoi Yuki gave a negative answer.

"That's not necessarily true."

She shook her head and said earnestly to the two of them, "This is also what I want to tell you next."

"Teacher Kno has indeed confessed and been executed, but that doesn't mean the end of the matter; rather, it's just the beginning. Behind Teacher Kno is a terrorist organization that manipulates him, and Satomi Sho is also one of Teacher Kno's subordinates."

"From this, you should also know that the terrorist organization has the ability to create Dark Duelists. As long as the real source of the crime is not found, there will never be a truly safe day."

"Hmm, is it okay for you to tell us about this, Xiaoxue?" Xingyewu asked in surprise, "Isn't this classified information?"

“It’s alright. I’ve already gotten Uncle Niuwei’s permission beforehand, as long as you don’t tell anyone else.”

"Yeah."

You Xi frowned and thought, "It seems we still need to remain vigilant for the foreseeable future."

Previously, he didn't feel a strong sense of reality about the Dark Duel; he felt more like he was listening to a story. But now, he can no longer treat it as a setting in a story.

Hearing Yuki's mutterings to himself, Hoshino Mai feigned disappointment and said, "Sigh~ Does Yuki-kun not like being with me?"

No, that's not what I meant.

Seeing this, Yu Xi quickly explained, "But it would be very tiring if we continued like this, and it would also affect our daily lives. Hasn't Miss Xingye reduced her part-time jobs recently because of this?"

"That's true."

Because of her fear of encountering Dark Duelists at night, and her desire to spend as much time as possible with Yuuki during the day, Hoshino Mai's past lifestyle has been drastically altered.

Even though Yu Xi would work part-time with her and try her best to accommodate the girl, it was an undeniable fact that her freedom was restricted.

You Xi still felt somewhat guilty about this.

Xingye Wu, however, didn't care at all.

"Although I have fewer part-time jobs, I've also gained new opportunities. This is all thanks to you, Yu Xijun. I wouldn't have been able to afford that D-type eyeglass on my own."

Thanks to the D-view glasses given to her by Yu Xi, Xing Yewu recently started trying to become a VTuber on the Haima Company's platform and quickly gained a certain amount of popularity.

If they can continue like this, they'll eventually be able to monetize their popularity and fill their wallets.

“Oh, right,” Xingye Wu suddenly thought of a good idea and said excitedly, “Why don’t you become a VTuber, You Xijun? Being a VTuber is a lot of fun. You can meet a lot of interesting people, and we can even do a collaboration together.”

"Ah, well..."

"Alright, let's think about whether or not to become a streamer when we get back."

Izayoi Yuki spoke up to help Yuki out of the predicament, saying, "So much has happened today, it would be best if you went back to rest as soon as possible. Izumi-kun doesn't seem to have been hurt in the Dark Duel, but just to be on the safe side, you should ask for leave from school tomorrow to go to the hospital for a check-up."

You Xi nodded: "I will go."

"That's settled then, the car is here. Everyone must remain vigilant until the terrorists are brought to justice."

After giving a final word of advice, Izayoi Yuki watched Yuki and Hoshino Mai board the bus, remaining standing there quietly until the bus disappeared from sight.

Chapter 93: Are duelists with elves constantly being watched by elves?

Goodnight, You Xijun. See you tomorrow morning.

"Goodnight, Miss Hoshino, sweet dreams."

After taking the bus back to their neighborhood and walking a short distance, Yuki and Hoshino Mai, who had said goodbye to Izayoi Yuki at the station earlier, finally returned to their shared home, as they were going in a different direction from Izayoi Yuki's house.

After taking a hot shower and saying goodnight to Hoshino Mai, who had changed into a Monokuma pajamas, Yuki returned to her room.

As soon as he entered, he immediately took out the cards from the card box.
