Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City

While You Ling and Isis were fighting each other and were about to have a duel, Malik, who had reached a temporary cooperative relationship with Tapirang, also followed him to the neighborhood where the Duel City Competition was being held.

Malik, who received information from the men who were monitoring the city, learned about the whereabouts of Kaiba Keppei and his group within the city.

Unlike Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto, who are acting alone, Keihei Kaiba, the bratty younger brother who serves as the referee, is patrolling the game back and forth on the street.

Jonouchi, along with friends like Honda and Kyoko, as well as the game's grandfather Ji-chan (Muto Sugoroku), are looking for new duelists to challenge.

Although the speed of collecting puzzle cards is not as fast as Yu Zero, Jonouchi now has three puzzle cards in his hand, which can be regarded as a fruitful harvest.

As long as you collect the remaining three, you can meet the conditions for entering the finals and fight your way out of the melee duel city.

Thinking of this, a rippling expression appeared on the face of the yellow-haired boy Jonouchi.

Just wait and see, my sister Shizuka, my best friend Yugi, and Mr. Jonouchi, I will enter the finals next!

It is worth mentioning that just now, Jonouchi and the others met their old acquaintance Peacock Dance who was also collecting puzzle cards in Tongshiye Market.

The mature beauty with her signature waist-length blond hair and a very eye-catching appearance seems to be looking for traces of a certain dog man everywhere.

Originally, Jonouchi wanted to take the opportunity to show her off and show off the three puzzle cards in his hand.

However, Peacock Dance took out four puzzle cards with his backhand, blinding the dogs in the city.

Unable to accept this result, Jonouchi, whose mouth twitched, decisively gave up the self-humiliating behavior of showing the puzzle card. After exchanging pleasantries with Peacock Wu, he gritted his teeth and started looking for a new opponent.

The damn peacock dance is actually faster than my uncle in the city!

In just two days, as many as four puzzle cards were collected!

This woman is absolutely unforgivable!

I will work harder to kill everyone secretly, become the first duelist to collect all six puzzle cards, and achieve the legend of the fastest clearance!

"Huh? Is the person being supported over there Tapirang? He seems to be injured?"

Noticing the familiar figure walking towards them, being supported by someone, the short-haired girl Masaki Kyoko, who had just waved goodbye to Honda who had set off to visit his sister Shizuka in the city, couldn't help but exclaimed.

Hearing Kyoko's voice, Jonouchi, who was thinking of the proud expression of the peacock dance, also turned his depressed eyes in the direction she pointed.

Then, they saw the figure of their companion, who had a bleeding white cloth tied around his shoulders and was being supported by a black-skinned young man from a foreign country.

That person was none other than Tapi Liang, who had just said that he had to act alone because of something unexpected, but in the blink of an eye he turned into this weak and injured look.

"Tairiang... what's going on?"

"The injury is so serious, there is bleeding on the arm... Are you okay, Tapirang?"

"What happened?"

Seeing the white-haired young boy Taira being helped here, Jonouchi, Kyoko and Muto Sugoroku quickly approached him and made worried sounds.

Of course, they also saw the figure of Malik who was supporting Tapirang.

He was not wearing the black robe of the Guru, nor was he placing the thousand-year-old tin staff visible to the naked eye. Malik, who was dressed casually, looked like a simple and handsome young man with an Egyptian style.

"Great, you are his acquaintances, right? He seems to have been attacked by someone."

Looking at the unconscious Tapirang, Malik looked at the people arriving, with a bright smile on his face.

After discussing it with Taixiang, he decided to use this method to get into their small group in the city.

Being in the upright camp, no matter what, they cannot ignore the person who saved their companions.

Once you integrate into it, many things that follow will become much easier.

"Tsk! Who on earth did such a cruel thing? I will never let go of the guy who hurt Tapirang!"

Seeing his classmate, Tairiang, become as weak as he is now, a real anger suddenly lit up in Jonouchi's eyes.

Deciding to avenge Tapirang, he immediately asked such questions from his mouth.

"Within the city..."

"Tairiang? What's wrong? What happened?"

"I don't know...I can't remember clearly..."

Tapirang, possessed by the drama queen, covered his injured arm and showed a painful look on his face to his companions who looked at him with concern.

In fact, this wound was a wound he inflicted himself for show.

For him, who was chosen as the host by the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, this kind of harm is simply insignificant.

To describe it as a duel, it's almost 4,000 health points, reduced by 1 point.

"Although I helped him with emergency treatment, in this case, would it be better to send him to the hospital first?"

After interrupting the actions of several people, Malik took the initiative to make such a proposal.

If you look closely at Tapirang's condition, it's easy to find the shortcomings. In order to avoid accidents, Malik felt that it was safer to let himself help.

"Yes, that's right!"

After Malik's reminder, Jonouchi remembered that there was such a thing, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

Tapirang looked seriously injured. If the little girls in his fan club at school saw his pitiful and fragile appearance, their hearts would be broken.

No, what am I thinking! The most important thing now is to send Tapirang for treatment first! I don’t envy him for having so many female fans!

Things like women will only affect the card drawing speed of my uncle in the city!

"Sorry for causing trouble to you, leave it to us from now on."

Jijiang, the eldest, took the initiative to speak at this time: "Jouchi, don't just sit there in a daze, come here and help me. I will take Tairong to the hospital."

"Oooo……"

After hearing Jijiang's scolding, Jonouchi realized what he was doing and helped Malik's body up instead.

After hailing a taxi on the side of the road, the group of people helped Jijiang and Tapirang and took their injured companion to the hospital.

"Jouchi, you don't have to worry about this, just continue to duel, and I will take care of it."

"Ah! Please... Chicken Sauce!"

Jonouchi said as he nodded seriously to Muto Sugoroku.

Just when no one noticed, Muto Yugi and Seto Kaiba, who were walking together, walked from the other side of the street and went in a completely different direction.

"Is Tapirang injured?"

Watching the taxi gradually go away, Jonouchi and Kyoko were left behind, and then they turned their attention back to Malik who was sent back to Tapiliang.

Looking at this handsome young man with exotic black skin and messy platinum hair, Jonouchi scratched his head and showed him a grateful look: "Thank you... uh... that..."

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked you your name yet?"

Instead of Jonouchi who was hesitant and not used to expressing gratitude to others, Kyoko enthusiastically and proactively took over the topic and asked Malik's name.

"My name is Namu, please take care of me."

Malik suppressed his inner thoughts of Yan Yi and pretended to be a good young man. He humbly extended his hand to Jonouchi.

Jonouchi, who finally reacted, took Malik's outstretched palm and told his name: "Ah, my name is Jonouchi, please take care of me!"

"My name is Kyoko, thank you very much." Nodding reservedly, Masaki Kyoko also said her name to Malik.

"Haha... don't say that. This is what I should do. Isn't it everyone's duty to help people who are in trouble?"

Malik, who rubbed the back of his head shyly and lied without blushing, gave such a reply in a sincere tone after telling the two of them their false names.

Those who don't know the inside story, seeing Malik like this now, will definitely not be able to connect him with the evil leader Gurus.

"Jounouchi, look at you, you know how to play cards all day long! You don't even know that your classmates are in danger. If Namu hadn't sent Tapirang back, we don't know what would have happened."

Kyoko noticed the duel plate on Malik's arm and thought he was a member of the competition. She dissed Jonouchi, who was immersed in the world of card playing.

Playing cards, playing cards, I know how to play cards all day long, but I haven’t seen you practice your card playing skills to the extreme like in the game.

"Here……"

After hearing Kyoko's well-founded and powerful speech, Jonouchi, who couldn't explain clearly for a while, could only twitch the corner of his mouth, completely unable to refute her words.

After realizing that reasoning with a woman is a very stupid and meaningless thing, Jonouchi turned his attention to Malik, who called himself "Nam".

"Speaking of which, Nam, I noticed that you are also a LV5 duelist with a duel disk. How about you, do you want to try a duel with me?"

Seeing the duel plate mass-produced by Kaiba Company on Malik's arm, Jonouchi raised his eyebrows, and the idea of ​​playing cards with this man suddenly arose in his heart.

When he heard what Jonouchi said, Malik also followed the topic and waved his hands humbly: "No! Even though that's what I said, my poker skills are not very good and my strength is not very good either. Jonouchi You must never challenge me to a duel!"

Not so good, it means that the deck has powerful cards like [Lava Demon God] and [Wings of the Sun God Dragon].

With a red face and a heartbeat, Malik spoke nonsense that even he didn't believe himself.

It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, as long as Jonouchi and Kyoko believe it.

"Really? Hehehe... To tell you the truth, I have collected a large number of puzzle cards in my hand, and I will be able to pass the preliminaries of this Duel City Tournament soon."

Jonouchi, who was suppressed by Mai and Kyoko one after another, felt a sense of superiority from Malik that made him feel quite happy.

Raising his head proudly, facing Malik who called himself "Nam", the yellow-haired boy Jonouchi crossed his arms and assumed a posture like a master.

"Ah? Is that so? Jonouchi, you are so strong and powerful! If only you could lead me!"

Showing an expression of admiration towards Jonouchi who said these words, Malik followed his topic and praised Jonouchi hard.

"Hey hey hey... it's easy to talk, Naam, you can always come to me to give you advice!"

Feeling very much benefited from Malik's compliment, Jonouchi couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on his face.

Guhehe... This foreigner named Namu understands me quite well!

If there is a chance, just accept him as a younger brother in my city and teach him the secret of the red eye ~

"It was really nice chatting with you. It seems like we have become friends."

He looked around and saw Kyoko and Jonouchi, who were gradually becoming friendly towards him. Malik, who was secretly mocking the two of them, still maintained that low-key and humble look on his face.

Judging from Malik's appearance, it's as if he is really just a beginner who doesn't know how to play cards as he said.

If You Ling sees this scene, he will definitely stick out his thumb and compliment his nominal boss: "Boss, I think your acting skills are no worse than mine!"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Yes, we are already friends... Let's go, Namu, let you see the scene where I, the uncle in the city, kill everyone!"

Jonouchi wiped the tip of his nose with his thumb and assumed a master's posture. He immediately turned around and waved to Malik, gesturing for him to follow her.

"Huh...friend?"

Following the two of them in silence, Malik tasted the strange but familiar word "friend" in his heart, and an imperceptible sneer flashed across Malik's face.

What about friends?

Two idiots who didn't even know they were being sold.

I might as well let you all become my hostages for threatening Muto Yugi.

Speaking of which, I don't know how the men who were sent to Kaiba Company to kidnap that male brat are doing.

"Lord Malik..."

"Oh? Is there any news?"

While Malik was thinking about these things, he suddenly received a brain communication from his subordinates.

These members of the Gurus who have been brainwashed by Malik and planted with curses can become Malik's spokesperson at any time and convey them to him through this method of sound transmission in the brain, which is similar to "his mind". known information.
