I Play Cards in the Kingdom of Duelists with Heroic Spirits

"Wait, why is this picture so familiar? The scum and the alley..."

However, at the moment when Hoshino was preparing to sentence Keith to death in a social sense, his brain suddenly remembered a very important thing like an electric shock.

"—These two are not going to go in to play cards, are they?"

Chapter 13: Desserts and Revolvers

"—Wait, these two are not going to play cards, are they?"

Aware of another possibility of the incident, Hoshino stopped at the dark alley.

But after thinking about it, it was obviously unnecessary for Kist to bring the girl from the dueling hall to this kind of place to play cards. No matter how you look at it, it was too illogical.

"The duel begins! (Duel!)"

Hoshino: "This world really is too unreasonable!"

......

"I activate the special effect of [Desperate Revolver Dragon] from my hand card!"

[Can only be activated when a machine-type or dark attribute monster on the field is destroyed by a battle or an effect.Special Summon this card from your hand. 】

Taking advantage of [Desperate Revolver Dragon]'s own special summoning conditions, Keith took the initiative to destroy the [Double Barrel Pistol Dragon] on his field to summon it.

[Desperate Revolver Dragon ★★★★★★★★ (8 stars)] [Dark/Mechanical ATK: 2800 DEF: 2200]

"Roar!" Accompanied by a deep roar from the metal body, a mechanical monster with revolvers on its head and hands appeared in the dark alleyway.

Hoshino, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned slightly. Keith had used similar monsters when he dueled with him for the first time.

However, the monster that Keith summoned at that time seemed to be just a normal [Revolver Dragon], and this [Desperate Revolver Dragon] was obviously an enhanced version of that monster at that time.

"I continue to activate the effect of [Desperate Revolver Dragon], toss three coins, and destroy as many monsters as the heads of the coins tossed at most! But in this case, this monster cannot make an attack declaration this round."

It was another operation that impressed Hoshino. At that time, Keith had tampered with the coins and cheated Hoshino.

However, since dueling disks became popular, operations such as throwing coins and dice will cause the machine to run and generate immediately, and the duelist does not need to operate it himself.

In other words, it was obviously impossible for Keith to cheat again in this situation.

Throwing results: positive, positive, positive

However, at the next moment, Keith showed the blond girl on the opposite side that he was as lucky as he was in the city.As if to engrave the word '正' on the thigh of the girl opposite, all three coins were tossed as heads.

"According to the result of the throw, I can choose up to 3 face-up monsters on your field to destroy!"

The three muzzles on which the Desperate Revolver Dragon begins to load correspond exactly to the three cute monsters on the blond girl's defensive display.

"—Desperate Revolver shoots three times in a row, go! Destroy all the puppet desserts on the opponent's field!"

[Ghost Dessert Marmalade Maid] Defeat

[Magic Dessert: Madeleine Witch] Destroyed

[Puppet Dessert Pudding Girl Princess] Destroyed

Keith's roar was mixed with the sparks of the bullets passing through the barrel of the gun, and the three monsters representing cute desserts completely disappeared from the field.

After the Revolver Dragon attacked, the blond girl full of ladylike temperament finally spoke again: "When the monster of the golem dessert is destroyed by the opponent, it will not be sent to the graveyard but returned to the deck!"

Keith grinned triumphantly at the corners of his bearded mouth: "Even if you activate the effect of the puppet dessert, you have no life to use!"

A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the blond girl: "The Desperate Revolver Dragon that activates the effect should not be able to attack, then the only one you can attack on the field is the [Returning Pistol Dragon]. damage to health."

[Returning Pistol Dragon ATK: 2300]

"Hmph, the effect of the Desperate Revolver Gun Dragon, when the coin flips three heads, I can draw a card from the deck! And the card I drew is this one——Quick Attack Magic [Limitation Released] ]!"

Inserting the hot card just drawn into the back field of the duel board, the size of the Reloading Gun Dragon, which looks like a lighter on Keith's field, doubled in size.

[Limitation removal quick-play magic effect: The attack power of all machine-type monsters on the field is doubled until the end of the turn.The monster to which this effect is applied is destroyed during the End Phase of this turn. 】

[Returning Pistol Dragon ATK: 2300→4600]

"It's my uncle who won, let's go back and bomb!"

The virtual bullet fired from the head of the giant gun dragon ruthlessly penetrated the slender body of the blonde girl.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Clara LP: 4000 → 0

After a burst of panting that made people think, the completely emptied HP represented the defeat of the girl named Clara in the duel.

The duel is over, the winner, Keith Howard

"I lost, I didn't expect Howard, you are such a powerful duelist."

However, Clara, who lost the duel, didn't feel any frustration, on the contrary, her tone sounded like she was relieved.

"With such strength, it seems to be the best choice for you to replace me in the underground duel arena. Then can I ask you, Howard?"

Keith, who put away the dueling disk, did not immediately respond to Clara's request, but just stood there motionless with his eyes squinted.

"You two, have you seen enough?"

Clara looked puzzled and asked, "Howard? What are you talking about all of a sudden?"

"This conspicuous cross-dressing and third-rate stalking skills may be able to fool you, Clara, but it will definitely not escape the eyes of me, Keith Howard. Are you still planning to come out?"

"It seems to have been exposed~" There was no point in continuing to hide at this moment, Hoshino simply stood up generously.

Keith looked Hoshino up and down in a gray cloak and metal goggles, and asked.

"Although I don't know who you are, you have been following Master Keith since this afternoon. What is your purpose?"

Hoshino took off the metal goggles and hood, unabashedly exposing his signature red pupils and silver hair, and asked seriously.

"I just want to ask Keith what is your purpose? How could you be such a kind-hearted person to replace this girl in the underground duel?"

"Hoshi... Hoshino Chiyuki?" Stunned by Hoshino who suddenly revealed his identity, Keith couldn't keep his composure just now: "This is impossible, you are here in San Francisco?"

Clara was even more confused about the situation. She didn't expect that she and Keith would be followed all the way here by the cute girl in front of her.

"What the hell is going on, Howard? Do you know this girl?"

"It's not just acquaintance..." Keith's face became more and more embarrassing, and cold sweat flowed down the hood that symbolized freedom.

"It should be more appropriate to say that the lingering spirit is more appropriate. You have caused me to fall to this point, but you still don't want to let me go, Hoshino Chiyuki!"

Chapter 14: The eldest lady of dissonance, the underground duel with death

Keith Howard, during the Duelist Kingdom, did not receive an invitation but sneaked in to snatch the metal stars of other Duelists and forcibly participated in the competition.

In the end, after being defeated by Hoshino, instead of admitting defeat honestly, he blocked the entrance of the cave duel field with a huge rock, causing Hoshino, Yuyu and others to be trapped in it, and finally came to the Dungeon Guardian Labyrinth Brothers.

Such an evil deed that does not abide by the dueling spirit is naturally seen by Bekas.After defeating Hoshino in the duel, although he cheated and did not hand over the metal star, he was deprived of the right to duel by Bekas and expelled from the island.

Then during the duel city, when Bekas disappeared (in fact, he was looking for the legendary heart card corresponding to the legendary dragon), Keith spread rumors of Bekas suicide to Tianma Yexing, who temporarily took over the International Illusion Society.As a result, Tianma Yexing, who was devoured by revenge, forcibly resurrected the unfinished three evil gods cards, and attacked the Haima Entertainment Group at that time.

Keith, who tricked the evil god card into his hand, finally lost to Hoshino in the duel and escaped.

After two rounds of extremely bad incidents, Keith Howard has been ordered to be banned by the International Illusion Society.Even if he has the title of consecutive national champion, he will not be allowed to appear in any formal duel competition from now on.

This is exactly the reason why KC Grand Prix did not invite him.

Having lost the means of survival of dueling monsters, Keith Howard finally ushered in his midlife crisis.Life has also fallen from the glory and demeanor of consecutive champions to the desperation where everyone shouts and beats the rats in the street.

"You have persecuted Master Keith to such a situation, but you are still unwilling to stop. What a lingering ghost, Hoshino Chiyuki!"

Hoshino was speechless, wondering who the hell persecuted you, and you made it up like this from the beginning to the end, isn't it all done by you yourself?

"Isn't it because you deserved it when you've fallen to such a level? Are you trying to make me sympathize with you by saying this now? I'm sorry, I can't sympathize for a second in the face of rubbish like you."

Immediately, Hoshino turned his gaze to the blond girl who was confused about the situation, and said seriously.

"Your name is Clara, right? I'm sorry to watch your duel from the sidelines. But I still have to remind you that a jerk like Keith is completely untrustworthy. Maybe she's just looking at your family's money and wants to It’s almost like waiting for an opportunity to strike.”

From appearance to conversation, Clara is completely like a young lady.Although I don't know how Keith came into contact with a girl like Clara, but with Keith's previous personality, taking part in a life-gambling duel on behalf of others is simply a fantasy.

"Hehe~" Contrary to Hoshino's expectation, after being reminded by herself, Clara just covered her mouth and smiled slightly: "Can I call you Ms. Hoshino? It seems that Ms. Hoshino, you and Howard have a lot of troubles."

Clara's courteous attitude towards others, showing a cultivated temperament in every gesture, made Hoshino's first impression of this young lady very good.But no matter how you look at it, it seems out of place with an old hooligan like Keith.

"However, Ms. Hoshino, you reminded me of the things you just reminded me, saying that Howard took a fancy to our family's money and waited for an opportunity..."

Hoshino emphasized again: "Clara, don't believe me, I am very confident in Keith's character."

"Of course I believe, how should I express it specifically?" Putting her white fingers on her chin, Clara tilted her head and thought for a while: "It should be said that Howard has already done the things you reminded, Ms. Hoshino~"

Keith, you are really good, I, Hoshino Chiyuki, did not misread you!

"The first time I met Howard, it was because he sneaked into my villa to steal and was caught by the security guard~"

It's a villa, and it's a security guard. Clara can be regarded as a real lady.

Hoshino was puzzled: "Since Clara, you know Keith's character, why do you still..."

"When a person is cornered in front of you, you can choose to push him from the edge of the cliff to the abyss, or you can choose to extend a helping hand and give him hope. The two completely opposite results are just in the Change in one thought of yours."

Clara smiled brightly, under the pure face, Hoshino seemed to see the brilliance of the saint.

"—Life is like a candle, it should be bright until the end. This is what my father often warned me. So facing Howard who was desperate, I did not choose to question his behavior, and gave him a rightful work."

The more dazzling holy light even made Hoshino feel a little dazzled.Unexpectedly, such a selfless and noble girl would exist in this world where interests are paramount.This is probably an idea that only those young ladies who are really born in noble families and who are not in harmony with the world can have thoughts.

At least Hoshino hadn't reached such a state, even though Hoshino's family was quite wealthy before crossing.

"It's been a shameful month. I didn't expect that my uncle, Keith, would be reduced to an honest job one day."

Scratching his head under the turban in displeasure, Keith's so-called reduced situation before turned out to be working for the eldest lady's family.

Hoshino was still a little skeptical, and looked at Keith cautiously: "You guy, are you really going to wash your hands because of this thing? Are you taking advantage of Clara's kindness?"

"I believe in Howard!" Facing Hoshino's doubts, Clara hurriedly replied.

"For my safety, Howard is even willing to take my place in the desperate duel. I believe that Howard will never fall into the abyss of crime."

Akasha, who had been silent since just now, suddenly asked: "Sister Clara, a dreamy lady like you, how could you get involved with the underground duel field?"

When asked a key question, Clara's expression dimmed instantly.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, right?" Keith snorted coldly, apparently unwilling to tell Hoshino their reason, and didn't want to make things difficult for Clara.
