I Play Cards in the Kingdom of Duelists with Heroic Spirits

"Why is the master here! This is big news!" The chief executive who finally came to his senses exclaimed.

"It's too noisy Okita, you will scare the master like this." After drinking the chief executive's behavior, Emiya brought out a plate of omelet rice and placed it in front of Hoshino, "Eat it master, calm down for a while, and then tell me What the hell happened."

"Yeah." Picking up the spoon and putting the omelet rice into his mouth, Hoshino's eyes lit up, "It's delicious! And this familiar feeling is the taste of mother."

Emiya put his hands on his chest and smiled helplessly. He didn't understand why everyone always said that his cooking tasted like mother's.

After half a plate of omelet rice, Hoshino's thoughts finally gradually became clear.

"I remember, the moment before I lost consciousness, I seemed to see Medea." Hitting his head, Hoshino tried hard to think.

"Sure enough, it has something to do with Medea." Looking at Hoshino's attire, Emiya had long guessed that this matter had something to do with Medea.

"And then there seems to be another duel?" Hoshino didn't want to let go of any clues, even small details, could be the key to breaking the current deadlock, "It seems to be a dark game?!"

"Yes, it's a dark game!" Hoshino finally cleared up the current situation, "We have fallen into Kairara's dark game, and the soul is sealed on the card."

"The card I handed over was supposed to be Mash, but then Medea came out and talked to me, and changed Mash to me without authorization." At this moment, Hoshino finally understood what Medea said. What is the meaning of the bottomless darkness in Kairliang's soul].

"That's right, senior, it's a dark game!" The automatic door of the kitchen opened again at some point, and Mash's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

"Senior, you haven't resisted the power of the dark game yet, so Ms. Medea replaced me... No, to be precise, she should replace you to participate in this dark game." Matthew had a serious expression on his face.

"Mash..." Hoshino looked at Mash puzzled.

"I will explain the specific situation to seniors, please go to the central control room with me now." With a reliable tone, Matthew took Hoshino's hand and led her out of the restaurant, "I'm going to teach seniors now, The real way to fight the so-called dark game."

"Master, I'll go with you too." Seeing Hoshino leaving the restaurant, Emiya also worriedly followed.

"It seems to be a serious situation. Okita-san is also going to help the master." The chief executive followed the three of them and left the restaurant.

......

"Huh? Why is the Master here?" Everyone who left the restaurant bumped into Artoria who was about to have another dinner.Observing everyone's serious expressions, Arturia naturally understood that the situation was wrong, and silently followed.

"Isn't this the master? Why did you come here?" Siegfried, who was walking in the corridor, also followed for the purpose of walking.

"Wow, there are so many people, bring me one." Wang Jiang, who had just returned from hunting, saw everyone gathered together, so he naturally went to join in, "Hey? There is actually a wild master here."

.......

"Senior, here we are. This is the central control room." After skillfully entering the password, Matthew opened the door of the central control room. "From here, you can clearly understand what's going on outside."

"Ah, that's it." Hoshino nodded hastily. The most urgent thing now is to understand the current progress of the dark game.

"But..." Hoshino turned to look at the crowd behind him, "Why are there so many people here?!"

Behind Hoshino, most of the existing heroes of Chaldea were present, including a few Berserkers who couldn't even speak clearly.

"Of course it's because I'm worried about the master.", "To pass the time.", "It seems to be a serious situation...", "Ho!!", "Oh!!" "Destroy the oppressors with love!!"

"It's killing you!!"

Chapter 28: The Secret of the Millennium Artifact

"The so-called dark game, simply understood, is one of the mysteries that reside in this world." Matthew, who quickly operated the device, began to explain to Hoshino in detail.

"This world hides the mystery called the Millennium Seven Artifacts, which are objects similar to magic tools made and handed down from ancient Egypt. It can bring powerful dark power to the holder. It is also the power necessary to open the so-called dark game. .”

"The power of darkness necessary for dark games?" Hoshino rubbed his chin and thought, "It's obviously just a magic weapon made by humans, why does it have such a powerful power of darkness?"

"According to the investigation, the Millennium Artifact was originally manufactured to resist the invasion of foreign races. However, when manufacturing the Seven Artifacts, they killed all the people in the village. Excessive killings caused the resentment of the living beings to reside in it." Speaking of this, Matthew seemed a little nervous, "And the Seven Artifacts themselves are the keys that can open the legendary gate of the underworld."

"The key to open the gate of the underworld, you mean the underworld under the control of Ai Lei." Hoshino recalled, and the one that appeared when repairing the seventh singularity "Absolute Warcraft Front Babylonia" appeared in his mind A tsundere girl with blond hair who looks exactly like Rin, "It doesn't feel particularly scary. "

"Ah, Miss Alley..." Matthew smiled awkwardly, "Although Miss Alley is indeed the goddess who controls the underworld in the Age of Gods, this world is different."

"Master, you also know that in the mysterious and dense age of gods, the human world and the underworld are connected in a physical sense. If you break through the earth, you can use physical means to enter the so-called underworld." Matthew responded to the screen that appeared on the machine. Hoshino explained in detail, "But I don't know if it's too far away from the Age of Gods, or because of the differences in the world itself. The underworld in this world is a more terrifying existence. And the person who controls the underworld is not Miss Alley."

"That is?"

"Great Evil God Sock!" After speaking, Mash stretched out his hands and put them on both sides of his face, groaning, making a look that looked scary but was actually cute.

"This, that's it." The corner of Hoshino's mouth twitched as he looked at Mash who was performing vividly, "It sounds much better than Allie-chan."

"Cough..." Although Hoshino didn't complain about Mash's poor acting skills on the spot, the smothered laughter of the heroes behind him has already made Mash realize something, "In short, if an ordinary person like Senior who has no power of darkness at all, If you go to play a dark game."

"We will definitely lose!" Matthew told Hoshino with a serious look in his eyes. These words were definitely not alarmist words, "And in the worst case, you may die, senior."

"Yes, will you die?" The timid and fearful Hoshino suddenly flinched a little. He thought it was just a different world where he played cards happily, but why did he suddenly end up in danger of playing cards.

"Senior, you don't have to be too scared. I just assumed that you are an ordinary person." Seeing the fear in Hoshino's heart, Matthew smiled and comforted him.

"Am I not an ordinary person?" Hoshino didn't understand what Mash said.

"As the strongest institution of mankind, with the blessings of hundreds of heroic spirits, it has successfully repaired many singularities, and finally saved the humanity and burned Chaldea, the biggest crisis in human history. As the only master of Chaldea, how could senior be Ordinary people." Matthew's tone was full of pride.

"But, this is just a setting in the game, I'm just an ordinary...well..."

Mash put her slender fingers on Hoshino's soft lips, smiled and shook her head, signaling Hoshino to stop talking.

"Senior is senior. No matter which world you are in, Chaldea will always be your most solid backing." Matthew's gentle smile seemed to contain the brilliance of humanity. This is probably the so-called angel.

"Mash..." Looking at Mash in front of him, and the worried spirits behind him, Hoshino couldn't help the tears rolling in his eyes.

"It's connected, and the screen appears, senior." After a series of complicated operations by Matthew, the big screen in the central control room finally displayed the current progress of the dark duel.

"Joinouchi? Honda? Why have everyone turned into duel monsters?" The picture on the screen caused Hoshino to ask a series of questions.

"Because everyone's souls are sealed in their favorite cards." Matthew explained, "If it weren't for Medea's help, the souls of the seniors would have been sealed in my cards."

"Then what is the way to win the dark game?" Hoshino asked a key question.

"Just like normal games, just reset the LP of the opponent to zero."

"Phew, that's very simple. With the ability of the game, you can't lose." Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief.

Matthew shook his head, denying Hoshino's thoughts, "If this was an ordinary duel, Muto Yugi would definitely not lose, but this is a dark game, and the person who initiated the dark game made rules that are very unfavorable to Muto Yugi."

"Very unfavorable rules?"

"If a card with a soul stays in the cemetery for too long, it will be taken away by the god of death." After finishing speaking, Matthew began her vivid performance again, "After being taken away by the god of death, the body without the soul will be taken away by the god of death." Will never wake up again."

Hoshino swallowed nervously, she understood the detriment of this rule to the game.You cannot send any card with the soul of your partner into the graveyard, that is to say, even a weak monster card like [Commander] cannot be defeated.

"Then just keep the card with the partner's soul in your hand." Hoshino suddenly thought of the loophole in this rule.

"It's not that simple, look, senior." Matthew pointed to the screen, motioning Hoshino to watch the battle.

Kairliang: "Activate the effect of the transformation pot! Throw all the cards in the hands of both parties into the graveyard, and then draw 5 cards!"

Wang Yang glanced at the cards in his hand, thankfully there was no card possessing the soul of his partner.After throwing the hand cards into the graveyard, Wang Yang drew 5 more cards from the deck.

"!!!" Hoshino understood the situation in an instant. If Kairyo still had the transforming pot, it would be more dangerous to keep his partner's cards in his hand.

"What a despicable way of fighting." Hoshino bit his finger and cursed angrily.

"So master, next we will teach you how to fight against the dark game." Knowing that Hoshino understood the situation, Matthew added.

"You guys? Who else is there?" Hoshino looked back at the group of reckless men behind him, it should be impossible.

"It's me~" A familiar avatar suddenly lit up in the lower right corner of the screen.

"The omnipotent man. Da Vinci, the omniscient and omniscient genius, appears~~"

Chapter 29: Let me do the last turn

"Almighty man, Da Vinci is here." Da Vinci's familiar smiling face suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of the screen.

"Da Vinci! Why are you here?" The excited Hoshino looked at Da Vinci in the lower right corner, as if seeing a savior.

"It's been a long time, Hoshino-chan. Although it's been a long time, it's only been about two days." Da Vinci's signature smile, as always, makes people feel at ease when they see it.

This feeling is the so-called "since Da Vinci is here, then there must be no problem" inertial thinking.As expected of an almighty person recognized as a genius.

"Since Hoshino-chan left her original world, I have been observing. The world Hoshino-chan is in now is probably a different dimension from the original world, but it is closer to the world of Chaldea." Finch began to tell Hoshino about the observation results.

Different dimensions, do you mean three-dimensional and two-dimensional?Hoshino thought this way in his heart, no wonder Chaldea, which is also in the second dimension, is closer to this world.

"Da Vinci-san, now is not the time to discuss the setting." An anxious Matthew interrupted Da Vinci's eloquent discussion.

Wang Yang on the screen has gradually fallen into a disadvantage. In order to protect the soul cards of his companions from being sent to the cemetery, Wang Yang, who has consumed too many resources, has become more and more powerless.

"Medea!" Hoshino glanced at Wang Yang's remaining cards, and suddenly found the Medea card that replaced Mash in the deck.

"Muto Yugi is not the master of Chaldea, so he cannot use the cards of Heroic Spirits." The gradually severe situation made Da Vinci's speech speed up, "Medea is in his hand, it is a card. A white card with no effect."

"Dear Da Vinci, tell me what I can do right now." The lives of his companions were in danger, making Hoshino very anxious.

"Heh heh heh, it's time for my almighty Da Vinci to play." Suddenly showing a smug smile, Da Vinci stretched his hand under his body. To be precise, it should be under the screen. Finch's head portrait is only half of his body.

"The millennium steel ruler of the high imitation millennium artifact! (Doraemon style stick reading~)" With a strange tone, Da Vinci took out a steel ruler-shaped object from the bottom of the screen.

"......"

"Hey? Why didn't you smile? Isn't it funny?" Da Vinci felt a little embarrassed by the sudden silence.

"Da Vinci, do you think this is a funny cartoon? Now is not the time to joke around." Hoshino, who was still full of expectations, looked at the steel ruler in Da Vinci's hand with contempt.

"It's too much! Hoshino-chan actually slandered my hard-charging enchantment like this." Da Vinci, who pretended to be sobbing, put the steel ruler in the device beside him.

Like magic, the golden steel ruler appeared in Hoshino's hands in the next second.

There is no special feeling when watching it through the screen, but when holding it in his hand and looking closely, Hoshino can only blurt out two words "exquisite!"

The golden steel ruler is regularly engraved with strange words on the front and back. Although Hoshino can't understand the meaning of the words, the level of detail of the engraved words seems to have a soul, which completely attracts Hoshino and cannot be moved. open eyes.Don't say it's a so-called high imitation millennium artifact, even if it's a work of art in the Louvre, Hoshino believes it.

"Heh heh heh, you must have been scared." Looking at Hoshino's surprised expression, Da Vinci on the screen laughed triumphantly, "Combining the mysteries of ancient Egypt with Chaldea's cutting-edge technology and magic, using The most precise technology is engraved on this steel ruler. With the simplest and most violent method, its concept can be quickly sublimated into an object equivalent to a thousand-year-old artifact."

Genius, real genius.Hoshino knew that although Da Vinci's explanation was simple, the difficulty of the actual operation was absolutely unimaginable.

"Senior, there is no time. Put the steel ruler on your body." Matthew, who was operating the equipment, urgently urged Hoshino.

"Wear it on your body? But this is just a steel ruler, how do you wear it..." Hoshino, who didn't know how to operate it, was flustered.

In a panic, the steel ruler in his hand suddenly twisted like a living thing.

"What's going on, it's disgusting." Looking at the twisted steel ruler, Hoshino inevitably associated it with something bad.

Twisting the steel ruler, it moved from Hoshino's palm to his wrist, then wrapped it around his wrist like a bracelet, and stopped moving.

"It looks so pretty, like a gold bracelet." Hoshino turned his wrist, and looked at the steel ruler with satisfaction, "Don't call it such an ugly name as the Millennium Steel Ruler in the future, just call it Millennium bracelet."

"Senior, concentrate, the dark power is about to be injected." Matthew, who had been operating the equipment, finally seemed to have completed something.
