Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

Chapter 1480: Clear sky turns to great wilderness and stars fall
"Grilled chicken wings~My favorite~" Squatting by the campfire, Judai hummed a tune that was a little off-tune while fiddling with the skewers on the iron rack to ensure that they were heated evenly and not burnt.

Maruto Sho was a little confused when he heard this: "Brother, don't you like fried shrimp?"

"The problem is that there are no conditions for making fried shrimp here?" Judai spread his hands helplessly, picked up a string of beans that were probably roasted, looked at it suspiciously, not sure if it was cooked, but it looked like it was almost burnt, or maybe it was cooked? Anyway, put it aside for now.

Seeing Judai's cooking skills, Amerda had a look of disgust on his face, but he didn't say anything. He just took out a plate of freshly baked pizza from the oven in the supply station and said regretfully: "This is not a school. Although the conditions are much better than the real wild, it's still a pity. It would be more appropriate to bake it in a pizza oven."

"Although Parmesan cheese is a hard cheese that is relatively easy to store, if you want an authentic Margherita pizza, you still have to use mozzarella cheese." As he spoke, Ameruda sprinkled the previously washed basil leaves on the pizza and finished making it.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Smelling the charming aroma of the pizza made by Amerda, Marufuji Sho and Yuki Judai both showed greedy expressions on their faces and looked at Amerda with expectant eyes.

However, Amerda, who had guessed what they were going to say, refused without hesitation: "I should have said that the help each 'safety officer' can provide you is limited, right? I have already given you the qualification to continue participating in the competition, told you the right direction, and even allowed you to follow me to the supply station."

"You who have defeated the guardians here are qualified to use the supplies here, but the prerequisite is that you do it yourself. If you can't even achieve this level of self-reliance, then what kind of 'wilderness survival' are you?"

"Although Mr. Amerda said so." Looking at the pre-made skewers beside him and the fresh pizza that Amerda had already made, Maruto Sho said to Judai with a bitter face, "How about we just eat fast food, brother?"

"Hey~ It's rare for us to go camping. I didn't even get to eat the barbecue last time because it was snatched away by Hayato-sensei." Judai looked reluctant, "And every time it's either Asuka or Manjome who's doing the barbecue. It's not easy for me to get to cook it myself."

(Misawa: You just ignored me so you wouldn't call me by the wrong name!)
Marufuji Sho took a look at the pile of dry rice cakes, the half-cooked beans, and the skewers of meat with blood oozing out of the cuts in Judai's hand, and sighed, muttering to himself, "Why is it never your turn, big brother? Can't you have some sense of responsibility when you see something you made?" He silently took a few more skewers and helped Judai make his portion.

Judai noticed Xiang's movements. Although he wanted to eat barbecue, he did not force Xiang to follow him. He said, "I just want to eat skewers. Xiang, if you want to eat something else, don't worry about me. There are many fast foods here, such as instant noodles, rice bowls, fried noodles, etc."

"Forget it, I'm not that hungry." Maruto Sho was just a little greedy because of Amerda's pizza, but he was not really so hungry that he couldn't help eating. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put the already grilled skewers on the plate next to the iron rack and started eating with Judai a long time ago.

Looking at Marufuji Sho and Judai, Amerda thought for a moment, but suddenly continued, "However, because of habit, I seem to have made the pizza a little too big, making it 12 inches. One person can't eat that much. Although you can take it away, letting the pizza get cold is simply a blasphemy to food, not to mention leaving it here to waste food."

Judai and Xiang's eyes lit up when they heard it.

“So, what are you two waiting for? Help me find where the pizza cutter is in the supply department.” Although Amerda still had a cold face and didn’t treat Judai and Xiang well, his voice was like heavenly music to their ears. “Cut the pizza while it’s hot. I want to correct your understanding of pizza now. Don’t make any weird pizzas for me again!”

"I was thinking that you used the [Yellow Spring Frog] to cook before, Mr. Ameruda, maybe you can try bullfrog pizza in the future--"

(Pizza Hut, the lifelong enemy of Italians)
"What did you say?!"

Ameruda glared at Judai, who quickly waved his hands: "Mr. Ameruda, the pizza you made is so delicious, I even came up with a new song!"

"Pizza Mozzarella~Pizza Mozzarella~" Humming a strange tune, Judai stood up with an apologetic smile and turned to the kitchenware area of ​​the supply department to find the pizza knife that Amerda was looking for, "Leila Leila Leila~"

"Although the authentic Margherita pizza is indeed made with mozzarella cheese, I used Parmesan cheese this time." Ameruda crossed his arms over his chest and snorted coldly, "Huh, are you mocking me?"

"No, no, big brother just didn't think that much." Marufuji Sho hurriedly explained, and took over the skewers that Judai hadn't finished with, trying to make up for them so that they wouldn't go to waste, while chatting with Amerda, "But, Mr. Amerda, can't you use the kitchen knife you used to cut tomatoes? Why do you need a special pizza knife to cut pizza?"

"If you don't use a pizza cutter to cut pizza, are you going to use a fruit knife to slice noodles?" Ameruda paused and explained, "When you use a general knife to cut pizza, it is inevitable that there will be a reciprocating sawing, which will affect the regularity of the cut surface and the shape of the pizza fillings, but you don't have to worry about this with a pizza cutter."

"Tsk, now that I think about it, I clearly checked that there was mozzarella cheese at the last supply point, but there was none here. I should have brought the cheese from there."

As they were talking, Amerda and Marufuji Sho heard Judai's voice. He held up a long curved sword with a handle on each end and said to the two of them, "Look, such a long weapon is actually placed in the kitchenware! It looks so cool!"

(Pizza Knife)

"It's really handsome, but brother, shouldn't we be looking for a pizza cutter now?" Seeing Judai's look, Marufuji Sho said helplessly.

"No, that's also a pizza cutter, but it's not a common rolling cutter but a pizza cutter." Ameruda waved at Judai, "Stop playing around and bring that over. That's a pizza cutter."

"Haode~" Judai responded, holding the two handles of the pizza cutter, trotting to Ameruda like a guillotine, looking around and asking, "Mr. Ameruda, do you want to cut it or should I? Where is the pizza?"

"Of course I'll do it, since you don't know how to use it. And isn't the pizza right here?" Amerda was about to take the knife from Judai's hand and turned to look at the pizza he had placed on the table, only to find that the pizza that was originally placed there had disappeared at some point, leaving only a baking tray.

"Huh? Why is the pizza gone?" Maruto Sho was also very confused. When Judai stood up to find a pizza knife, the pizza was still on the baking pan. That is, when Amerda said a few words to him, how could the pizza disappear? Thinking of something, Judai suddenly pointed at Amerda and Sho in shock and said, "Could it be that you two deliberately sent me away and took the opportunity to share the pizza? That's too much, and you ate it so fast!"

"Idiot, even if pizza should be eaten hot, I wouldn't put a freshly baked pizza into my mouth without letting it cool down at all." Ameruda looked around with a gloomy face, and suddenly noticed the empty plate next to Marufuji Sho. He pointed at it and said, "And it seems that it's not just my pizza that's missing."

Looking in the direction of Amerda's finger, Maruto Sho and Judai slowly discovered that the skewers they had grilled and even those still on the rack were nowhere to be seen. Only the string of dried tofu that Maruto Sho was still holding in his hand remained there. The rest all disappeared as abruptly as the pizza.

"Grilled skewers, disappeared!?"

Marufuji Sho showed a surprised expression, but Judai beside him denied it: "No, a thief stole the food!"

Judai keenly discovered that in the open space they had cleared for making a fire, there was a heart-shaped paw print covered with grease and flour on the ground. However, that paw print could not have been left by them, and it was not seen when they were clearing the space before.

After confirming that the paw print even had a very obvious cheese aroma, the three of them immediately determined that this paw print was most likely related to their missing food. Perhaps it was left by the thief who stole the food!
Although they couldn't tell from the heart-shaped paw print what animal had stolen the food, it didn't affect Judai and the others' indignation as their appetite was aroused but they couldn't be satisfied. They quickly put out the fire, and Judai and Sho each took a bite of the dried tofu and immediately set out to track down the pizza thief.

Although Amerda had said before that he would never help Judai and the others again, he was also a victim this time, so he followed Judai and the others to find the pizza thief.

Although they didn't know how the thief who left the claw marks stole the food without them noticing, maybe it was because it had super fast movement speed? But because the time of the crime was too close to the time of the crime, Judai and his team, who were extremely mobile, closed the distance with the food thief in a short time - in this regard, the aroma of the pizza made by Ameruda also played a big role in assisting in tracking.

Shuttled through the woods, Judai, who was running in the front, saw from afar a pink tail swaying among the green grass. At the same time, there were several orange and pink bubbles with cat ears floating next to the tail, and inside them was their missing food. At this moment, the thief, while running away, did not forget to enjoy the skewers that Judai and his friends had prepared earlier, so they were not very hot and could be enjoyed at will.

"Found it, the thief!" Before Marufuji Sho, who was less physically fit than him, and Amerda, who started a little later, could catch up, Judai shouted, "Leave the skewers in your mouth! I made them, and I haven't eaten them yet!"

"Meow!?" The food thief, who was not even as tall as the grass on the ground, was startled by Judai's shouting and seemed to look back at Judai and hurriedly continued to run away. Judai immediately chased after him, which made Marufuji Sho, who had finally gotten close to Judai, almost fall to the ground. He really couldn't run anymore and couldn't keep up with Judai.

"Tsk, kids nowadays are too weak, aren't they? When I was your age, people in my generation were much stronger than you in terms of physical fitness." Hayato, Yugi, Kaiba, Jonouchi, Baron, Rafiel, and himself appeared in his mind one after another. Amerda sighed in a tone of regret, "What a lost generation. They can't even run 100 meters in 10 seconds, and they start panting after running only 400 meters?"

"I don't know what kind of monstrous physical fitness your generation has, Mr. Amerda, but most ordinary people have about the same level of physical fitness as me, right?" Although weak, Marufuji Sho still had the energy to complain.

"Ordinary people are ordinary people, and duelists are duelists. They still need to practice." Glancing at Marufuji Sho with disdain, Amerda picked him up and chased after Judai, "Humph, this is the last time I'll help you little brats."

Soon, Judai ran at full speed and chased the thief to the edge of a cliff. The towering rocks blocked the thief's way like a wall. When he was about to change direction and escape in another direction, Judai and Amerda followed him out of the forest one after another, blocking the thief's entire way.

It was only after losing the cover of the lush grass in the woods that the true identity of the food thief who stole the pizza and kebabs was fully revealed to the three people.

"The thief is a Duel Monster?" Marufuji Sho said in surprise, looking at the pink and cartoon-like cat in front of him with heart-shaped limbs connected by bubbles throughout its body.

But he came to his senses again: "But that's true. The only ones who can steal food are the Duel Monsters on the island. Now that I think about it, the 'small animals' that Hayato-sensei was talking about back then actually referred to the Duel Monsters?"

“I don’t care about insignificant things.” Amerda, who put down Marufuji Sho, really did as he said. Even after running such a long distance at a fast speed and carrying a heavy load, he didn’t even breathe heavily. He looked full of energy. “Although it’s a new Duel Monster I haven’t seen before, at least it didn’t dirty my pizza. Damn thief, give my pizza back!”

"Mimi! Mimi mimi!"

"If you want it, come and get it yourself, but you know the rules?" Judai raised his eyebrows, feeling as if he could understand what the cat-like Duel Monster in front of him was saying, "How arrogant! You're blocked at a dead end."

"Don't think we'll let you go just because you're cute! Hurry up and give my skewers back, no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out!"

After hearing Judai's words, the pink cat meowed twice, then looked up at the sky and suddenly stopped moving.

"Don't think you can get away with being in a daze!" Amerda's face was dark, and he was about to draw a card to attack. When he was with Maruto Sho and his gang, he would use [New Magic Cooking] to let Maruto Sho down. The card he put on the cover when Maruto Sho used the monster's general attack was even [Explosive Armor], which shows how much he let down. But, a thief who stole his own food?
I must summon a dump truck immediately! [Mecha Troops - Destruction Armed Forces], run over this Hakimi!
However, Judai raised his head in the same way and suddenly asked Ameruda, "Mr. Ameruda, did the weather forecast say there would be a meteor today?"

"Which weather forecaster would predict a meteor? Clear weather turns to falling stars in the wilderness?" Yameruda complained, frowning and asking back, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Marufuji Sho also raised his head and pointed to the sky and said: "Because——"

"There really is a meteor falling! And it's heading towards us!"
