I Play Cards in the Kingdom of Duelists with Heroic Spirits

And tears don't lie...

Hoshino, who pressed his eyes with his hands, had completely given up resisting, and burst into tears, "But why am I so unwilling! Although it's just a game, I still don't want to lose!"

"Obviously I have persisted like that, and I am only one step away from victory!"

"I'm not reconciled, I really want to win! Isn't it meaningless if I don't win the final victory!!"

Hoshino's regret from the bottom of his heart echoed in the bright room.

----

"Miss Wu, what are you peeking at?" Seeing that Peacock Wu hadn't returned to the room for a long time, Kyoko who went out to look for her found her outside Hoshino's door.

The door of Hoshino's room was not locked at all when he entered the room, so he could open it with a slight pull of the door handle.Outside the half-open door, Peacock Dance was quietly observing the situation inside through the crack of the door.

"Hush~" Peacock Dance put her fingertips on her lips, motioned Kyoko to keep her voice down, and then looked at the room again with gentle eyes, "I probably fell asleep because I was tired from crying."

Kyoko, who quietly approached, squeezed her head under Peacock Wu's body, and also observed the room through the crack of the door.

In the room, Hoshino, who still had tears in the corners of his eyes, was lying on the bed breathing steadily and fell asleep.

"Qianxue, this kind of unwillingness will definitely make you go and reach a new height." Peacock Dance with a gratifying smile said in a low voice, "You will definitely become stronger, sister is looking forward to it.

......

Hoshino, who was sleeping, returned to that world again, and stepped on the modern corridor.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"This is it?!" Looking at the extremely familiar corridor full of modern machinery, Hoshino immediately realized, "This is Chaldea!"

"I remember that I was originally in the guest room of Bekas Castle?" Hoshino scratched his head in confusion, and subconsciously searched for the heroic spirits around him, hoping to get an explanation.

"Ah! Master found it!" A familiar energetic voice came from the end of the corridor.

"Okita-san!" Seeing the figure of the chief executive rushing towards him, Hoshino felt relieved.

"Hahahaha, master, Okita-san misses you so much." The chief executive who rushed over suddenly took a leap and hugged Hoshino tightly in his arms.Although you can't see it with your chest wrapped, it's quite interesting to feel the chief executive up close.

"Well, Okita-san, what are you doing?" Facing the sudden hug, Hoshino was slightly taken aback.

"Today is a good day to celebrate, master." The director with bright eyes stood behind Hoshino and put his hands on Hoshino's shoulders.

"What? A day worth celebrating? Ah!" Hoshino, who was puzzled, exclaimed as he felt the chief executive behind him pushing him forward.

"Hey hey, you'll know when the master arrives, hurry up and go to the restaurant." The director general with a mysterious smile pushed Hoshino towards the restaurant, "It's a surprise specially prepared for the master!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Hoshino, who gave up resistance, let the chief executive behind him control him, and came to the gate of the Chaldea restaurant.

"So, what is it worth celebrating?" Hoshino, who was still full of question marks when he came to the entrance of the cafeteria, questioned the chief executive.

"Hee hee, open the door and go in, master~" The smiling chief let go of his hands on Hoshino's shoulders, and waited expectantly for Hoshino to open the door of the restaurant.

"><It hurts!" Hoshino frowned, a little annoyed by the chief executive's mysterious attitude, hammered the chief minister's head, and pressed the switch of the restaurant's door.

"Bang~!" With the sound of the exploding salute used for celebration, the ribbons scattered all over the sky with the sound of the explosion fell on Hoshino's head.Mash, who was hiding on the side of the door, held a salute and looked at Hoshino in a sluggish state with a smile on his face.

"Master, congratulations!" In the restaurant, all the heroic spirits drawn so far gathered together and said in unison.

A dazzling array of dishes were piled up on the tables lined up side by side, and there were still two plates of hot dishes in Wei Gong's hands. Because of Hoshino's sudden arrival, he also stopped the work in hand.

On the roof of the restaurant, there is an extremely conspicuous banner, which reads...

[Celebration party commemorating the first defeat of the master duel kingdom! ! 】

"Okita-san, come here..." Hoshino silently called the chief executive behind him without dealing with the ribbon hanging on his head.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, master?" The chief who hadn't realized that the danger was approaching innocently walked over.

"Is this what you said is worth celebrating! What is there to celebrate!" Hoshino, who squeezed the chief executive's delicate face and rubbed it frantically, asked loudly.

"It's like coughing, it's about Da Feng Qi's hydrogen bank card!" The chief executive, who was deformed by Hoshino's rubbing, struggled to utter a series of unclear words from his mouth.

"Senior, stop torturing Miss Okita." Matthew, who came over to smooth things over, couldn't bear to look at the chief executive's face that was about to surpass the limit of human beings, "It was arranged by Da Vinci himself, this celebration meeting."

"Da Vinci? How is it possible?" asked Matthew in disbelief, Hoshino still didn't stop his movements, "I didn't even smoke Da Vinci, at this time, social animal Da Vinci shouldn't be still in the original world Is Chaldea working?"

"Hoshino-chan, I'm here." However, a familiar voice came from the crowd.

"Da Vinci?!" Hoshino exclaimed when he heard the familiar voice of Da Vinci, and turned to look at Da Vinci who was slowly walking out of the crowd, and Holmes who was following behind him holding something.

"Why is Da Vinci here?" Hoshino was pleasantly surprised by Da Vinci's appearance, but the question in his heart was still unsolved, "And why is there such a... uncomfortable celebration what."

"Although it looks like I'm here, it's actually a holographic image~" Da Vinci reached out to touch Hoshino, and his arm penetrated his body as expected.

"I used my genius mind to crack the holographic projection technology of this world, and then condensed the device into a small box-like size." After finishing speaking, Da Vinci pointed to Holmes holding the box behind him with a proud face.

"I said, what is Mr. Holmes holding all this time? It turned out to be a small box containing Da Vinci's kiss." Looking at Holmes who was still holding the box with a face of reluctance, Hoshino could guess that it must have been held by Da Vinci. Persecuted, "So the second question, why is there this 'celebration'?"

"Hehe, Hoshino-chan, what did you say that the small box containing Da Vinci's relatives feels like an urn." Da Vinci covered his mouth and laughed twice, but did not directly answer Hoshino's second question , "Anyway, let's eat first. The dishes are all made by Mr. Emiya himself. Hoshino-chan must be hungry if he hasn't eaten all day."

"That's right, master, it would be a pity if the dishes I made with great difficulty were left cold." Artoria swallowed, staring at the dishes on the table, eagerly urging Hoshino.

"If you don't eat enough, you can't win the battle, master!" Nobunaga patted Hoshino on the back and said with a smile.

"Although I'm not in the mood to eat now, since it's Wei Gong's cooking." Facing the temptation of this top-level lunar cuisine, Hoshino also swallowed his saliva, "Let's eat a little bit."

"Oh!" Hearing Hoshino's order to start, all the heroic spirits shouted excitedly, and then they came to the table one by one.

"Those who resist, have enough to eat!"

"Mr. Emiya, are the chickpeas still not ready?"

"What kind of meat is this? It can't be dog meat, right? Then I won't eat it."

"Excuse me, Mr. Hercules, could you pass me the pepper that is beside you."

"...!@...*!()￥*()"

The cafeteria, which was already very noisy, seemed to explode after Hoshino's order.

"Senior, sit here and enjoy Mr. Emiya's cuisine together." After finding a row of vacant seats, Mash pushed aside the chair for Hoshino.

"Thank you, Mash~" Accepting Mash's kindness, Hoshino sat down silently.

"Master, if there is anything you want to eat, please don't hesitate to tell me, after all, today's protagonist is you." Even though the table was already full of sumptuous dishes, Emiya still had no intention of stopping.

"Then give me an omurice, Emiya." Hoshino could not forget the omelet he ate when he first came to Chaldea, even though it was only yesterday.

"Okay, omelette and rice for one meal~" In the brightly lit kitchen, Emiya skillfully turned the frying pan in his hand.

"Senior, come and taste this, it's delicious." Matthew, with barbecue stuffed in his mouth and a happy face, handed the plate to Hoshino.

"Hmm! Really, I've never eaten such delicious barbecue!" Hoshino put the barbecue in his mouth, with a happy expression on his face.

It was so noisy, I don't know how long it took, when Hoshino was about to forget the unpleasant things, the holographic image of Da Vinci sitting opposite Hoshino who had been smiling suddenly made a sound.

"Hoshino-chan, let's talk about the real purpose of this celebration."

"The real purpose?" Hoshino, who was still stuffing food in his mouth, swallowed it with difficulty, and his eyes became serious.

"Let me tell you the truth, Hoshino-chan, you are really too weak right now."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Let me just say it straight, Hoshino-chan, you are really too weak right now." Da Vinci also became serious after changing his usual easy-going expression.

"Am I too weak?" Hoshino was stunned for not expecting Da Vinci to say such hurtful words so directly.

"Yes, but the most terrible thing is that you, who have been winning consecutively, are not aware of this problem at all." Da Vinci, who shook his head helplessly, continued to explain.

"But I've been on a winning streak, why do you say I'm too weak!" Hoshino, probably feeling a little unconvinced, refuted Da Vinci's words, "I even almost won that Seto Kaiba!"

"But you still lost." The sharp words pierced into Hoshino's heart like a sharp knife, leaving her speechless.

Hoshino, who lowered his head again, felt instantly depressed.

"Hoshino-chan, the reason why you have been able to win is not because you are too strong, but because other opponents in this era are too weak." Looking at Hoshino's gloomy expression, although Da Vinci's face flashed a hint of distress but still continued cruelly, "And you are able to defeat these weak opponents, most of the credit lies in the powerful effect of the Heroic Spirit deck itself. Although you will occasionally play one or two beautiful combos, but this is also not enough. It's just the basics."

"Da Vinci, it's too much." Hoshino, whose head was almost lowered to his chest, grumbled and complained.

"It's not too much, it's for your own good." Da Vinci said earnestly with an old mother's tone, "So I've been waiting since yesterday, waiting for the moment when you lose."

"But, what if, what if I win Haima!" Hoshino, who still had a fluke mentality, still thought that he was only a split second away from the final victory.

"No, without this eventuality, you will never be able to defeat Seto Kaiba." The strict Da Vinci cut off Hoshino's last chance, "Although this Kaiba does not have the so-called dark power in this world, it also gives people A completely unusual feeling. This feeling is more similar to Hoshino-chan."

"Feeling similar to me?" Hoshino, who was confused, couldn't understand what Da Vinci said.

"A feeling that doesn't match this world, although it's just a guess." Da Vinci, who answered Hoshino's question, didn't have much confidence in his heart, "Probably because of the influence of your time travel, which changed the original process of this world, Or maybe..."

"Or..." Nervously swallowing, Hoshino waited for Da Vinci's follow-up speech.

"Well, this kind of unfounded guess is not important. The reason why I said that you will never be able to defeat Haima is because that duel is already the limit power of the Heroic Card you can use at present." Hua Fengyi Da Vinci, who was transferred, directly avoided the question that Hoshino was most interested in, "And Haima, he can do better."

"I'm sorry, Da Vinci kisses you, can you stop talking halfway?" Hoshino, who was already mentally prepared, felt a bit disappointed.

"But it's impossible, can a hippocampus like that be stronger." Hoshino, who imagined a little, couldn't help shivering.

"Not only Haima, but also the game, Bekas, you are invincible now." Although there was a feeling of alarmism, Hoshino clearly felt that Da Vinci was not scaring himself.

"So Da Vinci kisses you all the time talking about how strong other people are, so why am I so weak!" Hoshino eagerly asked about Da Vinci's image in front of him.

"Hmph, directly explain that you may not be able to understand, do you want to have a duel with me?" Da Vinci gave this proposal with a smirk.

"Duel, kiss you with Da Vinci?" Looking at Da Vinci in disbelief, "But you are not a stereoscopic image, can you also duel?"

"It's just a card game. Although it's a little inconvenient to play with stereoscopic images, it's okay to overcome it a little bit." Da Vinci, who still insisted on his proposal, took out a set of cards from nowhere.

"Da Vinci, where did you get this deck from?" Looking suspiciously at the mysterious deck that Da Vinci took out, Hoshino suddenly became interested.

"It's just a card group copied from some materials, there is nothing special." Da Vinci smiled mysteriously, and put the card group on the table, "Stop talking nonsense, let's take the move!"

[Da Vinci VS Hoshino Chiyuki, the duel begins! 】

"Although Chaldea doesn't have a holographic device dedicated to duels, the duel monster cards are originally designed as a tabletop game, so it won't have any impact." Da Vinci, who drew five cards from his hand, smiled sinisterly.

...... (The 3 chapters of the duel with Da Vinci are omitted here)

"Hahaha, you said so many beautiful words, Da Vinci kisses you, you are about to lose!" Seeing his huge advantage in the scene, Hoshino couldn't help laughing, "Hercules, to Da Vinci Odd to launch a direct attack."

【Hercules ATK:4800】

"Too naive, Hoshino, activate the covered trap card [magic tube]!" Quietly flipping over the only cover card in the backcourt, Da Vinci signaled the end of the game, "Because of the effect of the magic tube, it will bounce back The damage of the same attack power of Lacules."
