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

The Black Witch was arrogant and smug, and she had finally found a weakness in Youxi. She couldn't let this opportunity pass without taking advantage of it.

The Black Witch was thinking this when, in the next moment, Yuuki suddenly reached out and took the card from the Duel Disk. The instant the card was taken, the Black Witch vanished. Yuuki then placed the "Black Witch" card on the coffee table in the living room.

"I'm sorry, Miss Bell. As you said, I can't sleep in the same room as you. So please bear with me and stay out all night."

Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute!

As the 3D imaging system shut down, Yu Xi seemed to no longer hear the Black Witch's voice. After putting the card away, she went straight back to her room and then clicked off the lights.

Only the dark witch elf residing on the card remained alone in the living room.

"Damn it! That stinky human brat! He has absolutely no sense of chivalry! I curse him to never have a girlfriend or wife for the rest of his life!"

The black witch, who had been kicked out of the house, complained bitterly.

But halfway through her rant, the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up.

"Hmph~ I was just kidding you. Duel Spirits don't only have cards as a place to rest."

The card is where the spirit resides, so when it is asleep or resting, it is generally in the card.

But besides the cards, the Duelist's Mind Room, where you connect with these spirits, is also one of the places that dueling spirits love to live.

Now that she has become a card spirit highly bound to Yuki, she can naturally enter Yuki's mental room, which cannot be blocked by physical barriers alone.

"Although I'm a legendary thief, I personally prefer ancient ruins. But it's not so bad to occasionally play the role of a mind thief. Let me see what secrets you're hiding deep inside, Yu Xi!"

Having made up her mind, the Black Witch did not hesitate. She closed her eyes and followed the connection to sneak into Yu Xi's mental room.

However, the Dark Witch had no idea what awaited her on her "adventure".

Chapter 94 The Black Witch Suffers a Setback

"Phew... So this is that kid's mental room."

It didn't take long; with her eyes closed and open again, the feeling of falling ended, and the Dark Witch had already arrived at her destination.

Her gaze swept around the room, and the Dark Witch couldn't help but whistle.

She had never been to anyone's mind room before, but even so, with the intuition of a legendary thief, the Dark Witch could instinctively tell that this was a special existence among all the mind rooms.

After all, this is far more than just a room; it would be more appropriate to describe it as a "palace" or a "temple".

In the vast space, surrounded by walls on all four sides, hundreds of torches burned and flickered on the walls, providing illumination and light for the entire temple.

The atmosphere was solemn and dignified, and what was even more striking were the numerous stone slabs carved on the walls.

The stone slabs are either colored or gray. On the wall in front of the Black Witch, there are five stone slabs, each depicting a part of a limb. It seems that when they are pieced together, they form a complete human body.

Besides these special stone slabs, there are three other stone slabs that are the largest, exuding a sacred and magnificent aura, clearly treasures.

"They say your inner world reflects your true character. I never expected this. He looks so harmless, but his inner world is so wild. He really is a repressed pervert."

With two clicks of her tongue, the Black Witch suddenly felt an itch to touch herself.

If this were outside, she would have found a way to steal everything here—what kind of legendary thief wouldn't try to steal all the treasure right in front of them?

Unfortunately, this is Youxi's mental space, and she can't do that.

However, she could still explore and uncover the secrets hidden in this room. Once she had leverage over him, wouldn't Youxi be completely at her mercy? She wouldn't have to worry about him not working diligently for her.

"Oh ho ho ho!"

Thinking this far-fetchedly, the Dark Witch couldn't help but let out a queenly laugh.

But she didn't notice that a faint light was slowly appearing in the eyes of the monsters carved in the colored stone slabs on the walls.

A chill suddenly crept into the Black Witch's heart...

……

"What did you say? Many spirits are sleeping in the room of my heart?"

"That's right! I was blocked at the door as soon as I went in!"

Under the bright sunlight, during Kiyosumi High School's daily lunch break, Yuuki and Hoshino Mai, having just finished their hospital check-up, stayed in the Duel Club, enjoying their usual sunbathing while eating their carefully prepared bento boxes. Izayoi Yuki, however, was absent due to work commitments.

At the same time, the Dark Witch was summoned again by Yuuki using the Duel Disk and introduced to Hoshino Mai. Upon her appearance, the Dark Witch's bruised and battered appearance piqued the curiosity of the two, who then inquired and received the answer.

Meanwhile, the Dark Witch continued to recount the cruel atrocities she had suffered.

"Those guys wouldn't listen to me at all, they just attacked me right away. If I hadn't run away quickly, I'd probably be dead there. Damn it, Yu Xi, you should have told me you had so many Pokémon sooner!"

Yu Xi: "Uh, even if you say that..."

I didn't even know there were so many sprites, how am I supposed to remind you?

"Yes, yes, that must have been hard work for you, Miss Bell. Sometimes it is true that some duelists are born with their own Duel Spirits to protect them, which are often the cards that best suit the duelists."

"Although... I've never heard of a special case like Yu Xijun. Usually, having two or three guardian spirits is the limit for this kind of duelist."

Xingyewu expressed deep sympathy for the Black Witch's plight, then changed the subject.

"However, as the name suggests, the greatest purpose of guardian spirits is to protect duelists. Since Miss Bell is also Yuki-kun's dueling spirit, there's no reason for them to attack you—Miss Bell, you didn't do something bad that the guardian spirits found out, did you?"

"No way!"

The Black Witch, of course, could not admit to Xingyewu's accusations.

"I haven't even started yet, how could I possibly do something wrong!"

"So you really did plan to do it."

You Xi squinted at the black witch who wasn't even blushing or out of breath, unable to imagine how this girl could be so shameless.

"It didn't succeed, so it's not a crime."

"That could also be called attempted crime, right?"

"Nobody likes a guy who's too calculating."

"However, thieves who like to break into people's homes without permission are also very annoying."

Xingyewu commented, then turned her head to look at Youxi, who had just put half of the octopus sausage she had made into her mouth.

"You Xijun, please leave Miss Belle's card with me tonight. I'll keep a close eye on Miss Belle and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble at your place."

"Tsk, even if you wanted me to go, I wouldn't!" the Black Witch said with a sneer.

She was just beaten up, and she's not a masochist, so who would want to go back and get beaten up by those elves again?

"But... I never expected that I actually do possess a spirit."

Yu Xi looked at his card deck repeatedly, his expression somewhat wistful.

He had fantasized about having a Pokémon, after all, it seemed to be a standard feature for the protagonist in Yu-Gi-Oh! novels.

Since his transmigration, he had never even seen an elf or heard their voice, and he had already given up. Now it seems that it was indeed just his constitution that prevented him from seeing one, not that he truly lacked the ability.

You Xi couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.

Fortunately, he doesn't have any shameful habits, nor has he ever tried to collect or save any study materials. Otherwise, the thought of having a bunch of elves watching him do these things would probably make him decide whether or not to start a new account that truly represents his life.

so far so good.

Along with this feeling of relief, a faint sense of doubt arose in You Xi's mind.

"But if I have fairies in my card, why don't they talk to me?"

Perhaps he really can't see Pokémon normally, but there's no such restriction during duels.

Just like the Dark Witch, his Duel Spirit should also be able to use this opportunity to communicate with him.

"Well, there are probably a few possibilities. One is that your Duel Pokémon prefers to remain silent and doesn't like to interfere with or affect your daily life. Another possibility is that they are not yet able to move freely."

Xingyewu guessed.

Actually, the first situation is quite common. Having a Pokémon does not mean that the Pokémon will maintain a high frequency of communication with the duelist.

As far as she knew, Xiaoxue's "Crimson Lotus Dragon" and "Black Rose Dragon" definitely had spirits, but she had never seen Xiaoxue say more than a few words to them.

Of course, the second possibility cannot be ruled out.

Well, if that's the case, then let's do it that way.

"Yuki-kun, you must also be eager to see the other Duel Pokémon you own."

After shoveling the last bite of rice into her mouth and swallowing it with her drink, Xingyewu excitedly suggested, "Then, how about we try to enter our inner world? That way, we'll definitely be able to see those spirits!"

"Huh, is that even possible?"

"It's possible, as long as you can find the right method."

Xingye Wu smiled and said, "For example, the meditation technique that Xiaoxue taught you. Once you master that technique, you can enter your mind's chamber on your own. But that takes too much time, so let's find some shortcuts."

As for what this shortcut is...

"Let's go to the Angel Church together after school today!"

Chapter 95 Entering the World of the Mind

"I see, that's why you came looking for me."

Outside the church of the Angels, a group of children were laughing, chasing, and playing.

Inside the church, Father Anderson, who did not need to go out today, was still wearing his solemn priest's robes.

As the sun gradually set in the west, after receiving the last believer and counseling him on his troubles, he listened to the purpose of You Xi and his companion's visit.

After listening quietly, he said calmly, "I understand. I can help you with this."

"what?"

Both You Xi and Xing Yewu looked surprised upon hearing this.

"Father Anderson, you actually agreed?"

"Wouldn't it be better to say yes?"

Father Anderson, expressionless, retorted, "Didn't you come here specifically to get my help? Do you think it would be more to your liking if I refused?"

"No, no, no, of course it would be good to agree. It's just that neither of us expected it to be so simple. After all, this is a secret ritual belonging to the Church of Angels."

It must be said that Father Anderson's appearance gives a very dignified impression.
