Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

"Optimal choice? Are you an AI programmed by Kurosaki?"

After laughing, You Ming said very seriously, "Remember, we're friends. You haven't broken the law, and you haven't been involved in the Kurosaki family's dirty deeds."

Why should I watch you get implicated in that old eunuch's sins?

As he spoke, he raised his hand to take out his phone to send a message to Suzuki Ao, but his hand suddenly went limp.

The girl took the initiative to grasp his hand tightly, her fingertips exerting a slight force as if she had grabbed a lifeline.

You Ming understood, assuming she was just feeling uneasy, and he gripped her hand tightly in return.

He led her upstairs to the center of the Heart Garden.

Physical contact between friends inherently carries a sense of warmth.

And when you are with this girl who has been deprived of emotions and is like an exquisite doll.

He would always subconsciously put aside all his worries and just want to give her some warmth.

Ruri Kurosaki looked down at their tightly clasped hands, then looked up at the tall, upright figure of the young man in front of her.

For the first time, a clear look of doubt appeared in her eyes, which were as clear as lake water: a friend?

This wasn't the first time she'd heard that word from You Ming.

The first time was their first duel. After she won, she said thank you, and he smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite when friends are sparring."

The second time was in the Pro Duel Tower, where he insisted on teaming up with her, saying that they were friends. As a result, her score skyrocketed, leaving Fujii Shizuko and others far behind, and she rushed into the top three.

The third time was tonight. He knew perfectly well that the Kurosaki family was a den of thieves, but he still rushed in without hesitation.

She confronts her father, Kurosaki, against the entire Kurosaki family's guards, simply because he claims they are friends.

And then there's his older brother, Kurosaki Hayato, who always says that they are blood relatives, the closest people to each other.

Her brother would secretly plead for her when she was punished by the family.

He would secretly give her a new card when she was sad after losing a duel.

When he left Kurosaki's house, he repeatedly told her: if she was wronged, she must send him a message and he would come back to protect her immediately.

The girl's thought analysis system malfunctioned for the first time: Friend, it doesn't seem like it should go this far, does it?

Shouldn't family members be treated the same way?

She looked down at their clasped hands, the warmth from You Ming's palm soothing her long-cold fingertips.

Looking at You Ming's handsome profile, her emotions surged for the first time.

From the day he resolutely turned around on the dueling ring and said he would definitely beat her next time, everything seemed to change.

When he challenges her to a duel, a glimmer of anticipation arises in her heart.

When he said she had facial paralysis, she felt no anger, but rather a strange flutter in her heart.

Only when she was with him did she feel like a living, breathing person.

Instead of being a tool programmed by Kurosaki and only capable of dueling.

The last person who gave her this feeling was her older brother, Shun Kurosaki.

So what exactly is You Ming to her now?

This thought lingered in her mind, refusing to leave.

But as she looked at the boy's retreating figure, she suddenly felt calm again.

She didn't know the answer, and for the first time, she didn't want to know so clearly.

And so it seems, it's not so bad.

She only hoped that her brother, who was far away from home, would be safe and sound and not be implicated in the sins of the Kurosaki family.

If her brother knew what Kurosaki had done and her current situation, he would probably rush back immediately.

Just like when she was little, whenever she was wronged, her brother would always be there for her immediately and protect her.

"..."

Pushing open the office door in the heart of the garden, You Ming led Kurosaki Ruri inside.

Suzuki Ao sat behind her desk, a thick document spread out in front of her.

Elder Kanamori sat opposite him, along with his mentors, Karin Kurosaki and Natsushiro Hitsugaya.

In the corner, there was another restless figure—Suzuki Azusa.

You Ming greeted Elder Jin Sen, Mentor Kurosaki Charin, and Suzuki Ao in turn.

Ruri Kurosaki quietly walked to the sofa and sat down, her posture obedient and her eyes lowered.

Teacher Kurosaki Karin already felt pity for this pitiful girl, and seeing her like this made her heart soften even more.

She had previously agreed to join the Quinn Alliance and signed a contract with A-level benefits.

He then stood up and walked to Liuli's side, gently pulling her into his arms and comforting her softly:

"It's alright, child! The things that happened with the Kurosaki family have nothing to do with you, and no one will blame you."

The embrace of mentor Karin Kurosaki was warm and soft, with a faint fragrance.

Ruri Kurosaki's body stiffened slightly. This was the first time she had been held so gently, apart from her brother, Hayato Kurosaki.

Suddenly, she thought of her brother who was far away in another city.

If her brother saw her like this, he would probably be very happy, right?

Her brother always hoped that she could break free from the constraints of the Kurosaki family and become an ordinary girl, with her own warmth.

You Ming watched this scene and sighed inwardly.

Ruri Kurosaki, this cold little beast, finally met someone who could warm her heart.

Suzuki Qingchao beckoned to You Ming, signaling him to walk to the desk. He said calmly, "Tonight's events need to be documented in detail, using you as the starting point."

Only with a notary public present and the person's signature as solid evidence can we definitively convict the Kurosaki family; otherwise, we would be breaking the rules.

The evidence we previously collected about the Kurosaki family was insufficient, and much of it was deliberately leaked by them to confuse the public.

Therefore, you need to write down in your own hand the entire process of how Kurosaki Yama coerced, lured, and even physically assaulted you.

You Ming picked up a pen, sat down at his desk, and began to write notes.

The pen tip traced across the paper, detailing the entire process by which Kurosaki used marriage as bait and force to collude with the Fusion Dimension, intending to offer him as a bargaining chip.

Between the lines, he portrays himself as someone who firmly upholds the bottom line of the superdimensional world and resolutely refuses Kurosaki's coercion and enticement.

Ultimately, they received support during a life-or-death crisis, demonstrating a positive image.

As he wrote, a question suddenly arose in his mind: Logically speaking, Kurosaki Hayato, that sister-complex maniac, should have rushed back immediately upon learning that his sister was in danger.

Why haven't we seen him yet?

Could it be that there's something wrong with the phone and he doesn't know about the changes in the Kurosaki family?

Or was he held up by something?

You Ming's doubts were actually shared by Kurosaki Ruri.

She sat in her mentor Karin Kurosaki's lap, her fingertips gently clutching the hem of her clothes, her heart still filled with thoughts of her brother.

She hadn't contacted her brother in a long time; the last time was after she lost to You Ming, when she asked him for advice on how to improve.

Her brother wrote to her, telling her about a duel style he had met in the League, and suggested she give it a try.

In order to completely control her, Kurosaki cut off all her contact with her brother.

She didn't know where her brother was, whether he was doing well, or even if he knew anything about what had happened at the Kurosaki family's place.

She only hoped that her brother wouldn't come back and wouldn't be implicated in the sins of the Kurosaki family.

That's all that matters, as long as we're safe and sound.
