Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City

In a dark and unknown space, Naia, who had teased Seto Kaiba a little before, was humming an unknown melodious tune while boredly watching the pictures on the many screens that appeared in front of her.

In those multiple pictures, what is shown is the state of each person who visited the virtual space.

In addition to Jonouchi who was dueling with the [Judge], and Yu Rei and Kyoko who were watching the battle, Kaiba Naia was also paying attention to the remaining two of the five elders.

Soichiro Ohta, who appears as [Mechanical Sergeant], was once the director of the weapons manufacturing factory of the Kaiba Group in the era of military enterprises, and was known as the "Ghost Colonel of the Factory."

The opponent he faced was Muto Yugi, who relied on his own strength to get rid of Naia's shackles and came here unexpectedly.

On the other side, the Kaiba brothers finally walked out of the endless forest scene and came to a city scene filled with white fog. They also met the last of the five elders who had been waiting here. Kaiba Gosaburo once sent Kaiba Kogoro Daimon, who looks like the first leader of man - [Cyborg-Psycho Shocker-].

While Yu Rei, Kyoko and Jonouchi were having a court trial duel with Ooka Chikuzen, they met their respective opponents Wang Xiang and Kaiba, and they also started their own duels.

For Naia, Seto Kaiba is a "rebel" who has taken away the value of his existence and taken control of Kaiba Company in his place, and needs to be treated specially.

Muto Yugi, who defeated Seto Kaiba in the duel, was like a serious problem to him, and he needed to be more vigilant to deal with it.

On top of the original two people, there is now an extra-standard existence like You Ling.

In short, under the deliberate arrangement of Naia as the administrator, Kaiba and Wang Xiang met their respective opponents. At this moment, they were also inextricably fighting with the members of the Five Elders, and they could not easily tell the winner for a while. burden.

Watching the five elders stepping on thunder on his behalf, Naia happily watched the drama unfolding in front of her eyes while also collecting their duel data and constantly optimizing and adjusting herself based on the intelligence of these battles. deck of cards.

After boringly scanning the side of Kaiba and Ouzou, who were inextricably fighting with their opponents, Naia, who was a little idle, finally stopped at Yu Rei, Jonouchi and the others who were also dueling. location.

Then, he saw the gambling duel taking place in the city at this moment, which was very suitable for his personal style.

…

"...The effect of the trap card [Gamble] is activated! Based on the effect of this card, I can guess the head or tail of the coin once. If I guess correctly, I can replenish my hand to five cards at once! "

The perspective returned to Yu Ling's side. In his field of vision, Jonouchi stood on the dock and was dueling with his opponent. While the opponent drew cards to replenish his hand to 6 cards, he simultaneously activated the backcourt. Trap card.

"Jounouchi's current hand number is 0. As long as he guesses the head or tail of the coin, he can replenish his hand to 5 cards at once."

Facing Kyoko who didn't know much about duels next to her, Yu Ling, who was holding her arms, spoke calmly and told her who was also watching the battle: "However, powerful cards often come with a price. If Jonouchi doesn't guess the coin correctly, As a result, he will directly skip his next turn due to the negative effect of the trap card."

"...Huh? Is that so?"

As You Ling's explanation echoed in her ears, Kyoko couldn't help but have a look of surprise on her face.

If you guess correctly, you will directly draw five cards from the deck. If you guess wrong, you will skip your next turn.

These two results are too extreme, right?

"Please, if Lady Luck is really on my side, please give me luck!"

On the duel field, there were 0 cards in hand, only the last 600 life points left, and there were no cards in the front field. After taking a deep breath, Jounoui took out the coins he always kept in his pocket. .

He prayed to the goddess of luck, and then threw the coin in his hand into the air.

"My guess is...front!"

With a duelist's intuition, Jonouchi quickly made his choice.

However, under the deliberate manipulation of the cunning Ooka Chikuzen, the coin spinning in the air finally fell on the back of Jonouchi's hand in a "tails" state.

This also means that Jonouchi will not only be unable to draw cards, but will instead skip his next turn, giving his opponent another chance in vain.

"It's actually...it's the other way around? I guessed wrong again..."

Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, Jonouchi finally had no choice but to accept the current result and leaned on the railing in front of him dejectedly.

"You're lying, right? Jonouchi, who always has inexplicable good luck, actually made three mistakes in a row?"

Seeing Jonouchi's performance, Kyoko couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Ooka Chikuzen, who was sitting on the stage, secretly raised the corners of his mouth at an angle that no one noticed.

Stupid Jonouchi...

Haven't you realized the problem yet?

This is my home court, Ooka Chikuzen. No matter how many times you bet, it’s the same. I’m the kind of person who only knows how to win lawsuits!

"Damn it! If that's the case... I'll do it!"

Putting aside the negative emotions just now, Jonouchi waved his hand and opened another cover card in the backfield: "The quick-attack magic card [Scapegoat] is activated! According to the effect of this card, I put 4 [Scapegoat] on my field. Sheep token] (Orc/Earth/1 star/Attack: 0/Defense: 0/) Special Summon in defense position!”

Red, orange, yellow, blue...

Four sleeping sheep of different colors appeared in front of Jonouchi one after another as the magic card was activated, becoming his human shield to resist attacks.

Under the current situation, if Ooka Chikuzen wants to cause damage to Jonouchi, he must first break through these four derivative monsters in defense position.

"Hmph, Jonouchi...it's really ugly to see you struggling so hard!"

Ooka Chikuzen glanced at Jonouchi's front court and snorted unkindly, then inserted a card from his hand into the back court of the duel plate: "My turn is not over yet! Next, I will start from I activate the magic card [Reinforcement] in my hand. According to the effect of this card, I can select a 4-star or lower Warrior-type monster from the deck to add to my hand... I choose to retrieve a 3-star Warrior-type monster——[ Armored Sword Tail Warrior] (Attack: 700)!”

After adding the low-attribute mortal bone monster whose name was called to his hand, Ooka Chikuzen took out the second fusion magic card from his hand: "Then, I will activate the magic card [Fusion] from my hand. Fusion of the [Armor Sword-Tail Warrior] you just retrieved and the [One-Eyed Shield Dragon] in your hand!"

"Fusion Summon, come out! Level 3 - [Magic Knight Dragnis] (Warrior/Wind/3 stars/Attack: 1200/Defense: 900)!!!"

The name sounds cool and the appearance looks cool.

However, in fact, what was born from the vortex of fusion and appeared on Ooka Chikuzen Field was just a mortal bone fusion monster with an attack power of only 1,200 points.

The attack power of the monster that appeared at this moment was even 100 points lower than the previous [Chaos Wizard].

"Tsk... Another fusion monster with low attack power?"

With a regretful look on his face, Jonouchi couldn't help but look at the red pit lurking in the backcourt - [Naraku's Cave].

This trap card has a powerful effect of destroying and expelling the monsters summoned by the opponent with an attack power of 1500 or more. It is a cover card that places hope for the castle's reversal.

However, after meeting Ooka Chikuzen, a bad guy who likes to do small tricks, this powerful red pit is faced with the embarrassing situation of being useless.

Food was originally an original sin, but this turned out to be Ooka Chikuzen's advantage. This kind of thing can be said to be very funny.

"Fight! [Chaos Wizard] and [Magic Knight Dragnis] attack those sheep tokens!"

At the same time as the monster attacks, due to the effect of the continuous magic card [Hades' Induction Interrogation], the attack power of the two low-star fusion monsters increases by 800 points at the same time.

[Chaos Wizard] Attack power: 1300→2100

[Magic Knight Dragonis] Attack power: 1200→2000

As the two monsters raised their swords, the four tokens on the field in the city were cut into half at once.

"The round is over, and now it's your turn... I really want to say this, but!"

The conversation suddenly changed. Ooka Chikuzen stretched out his arm towards Jonouchi, and said with a mocking smile: "But, Jonouchi, because of the effect of the trap card you just activated, this round that originally belonged to you will be directly destroyed. jump over!"

"It will still be my turn next!"

Jonouchi: "...Hmm!"

Ooka Chikuzen, who proudly pulled out a new card from the top of the deck and entered the new battle phase again, issued a new round of attack instructions to the monsters on the field without hesitation: "Battle! [ [Chaos Wizard] and [Magic Knight Dragonis] attack! Destroy the remaining two token monsters as well!"

The familiar attack came again. This time the attack completely destroyed all the derivative monsters on the field in the city, and once again made him fall into the embarrassing state of an empty field.

"Jiejiejie...my turn is over."

Knocking the wooden hammer in his hand, Ooka Chikuzen, with a proud look on his face, readily handed over the initiative of the round in his hand.

But at the same time, he had the advantage and expressed his ridicule to Jonouchi without hesitation: "Jounouchi, now you have neither cards in your hand nor monsters on the field. In the current situation, , your judgment has already been issued!"

Knocking the hammer again, Ooka Chikuzen added: "Jounuchi Katsuya, you lost this duel!!!"

"Gu..."

His body subconsciously stepped back a few steps. Unable to accept the result, Jonouchi couldn't help but clenched his palms hard: "Both the [Devil's Dice] and the [Angel's Dice] came out to be 1. The worst result...even the second choice of gambling cards is also not selected..."

Thinking of Jonouchi here, he couldn't help but beat the railing in front of him: "Damn it, no matter how bad luck is, there should be a limit, right! What's the point of not winning three times?"

"...Cheer up, Jonouchi!"

Seeing Jonouchi's posture of a dejected loser, Kyoko, who couldn't stand it anymore, quickly tried to persuade him: "You haven't lost yet, there is still one last round left! Don't give up until the last minute!" "

"Kyoko...but, I seem to have been abandoned by the God of Luck!"

Jonouchi, who was staring down at his toes and looking at the world with a positive attitude, rarely showed his fragile side after three consecutive disappointments: "Even if I continue to struggle. , it will only result in defeat..."

"Within the city..."

It was also the first time to see such a negative Jonouchi, and Kyoko also had a worried expression on her face.

Observing the surrounding situation and the pervasive negative emotions, You Ling couldn't help but have a look of doubt in his heart: "You actually lost three times in a row in gambling in the city? If it is a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence. Bar?"

In Yu Ling's impression, Jonouchi, who was nicknamed the "God of Gamblers", should have extremely ridiculous shit luck.

But now he has not shown this point.

"Master, that guy on the stage is doing something secretly."

"……What?"

Just as You Ling was surprised by the sudden sound of Weier's friendly reminder ringing in his ears, a dazzling light suddenly fell from the direction of the ceiling.

As this light lit up, a voice that seemed familiar to You Ling echoed in the space here the next moment.

"I declare this duel invalid."

"……What?"

"This voice is...Naia-sama?!"

As the voice declared invalid, the figure of Naia Kaiba, who looked serious, appeared in front of everyone with light.

After casting an unkind look at Ooka Chikuzen, who was subconsciously stunned by his appearance on the stage, Naia could be said to be exactly the same as the infant Kaiba except for her hair color. He declared again: "I declare that this duel is invalid!"
