Witnessing Jonouchi defeating Ryuzaki and winning his first victory in the KC Cup, everyone in the audience couldn't help but feel happy for him.
Everyone had a happy expression on their faces, but Hayato noticed that Keihei, who was sitting next to him, had one hand on his earphone and listened to the report on the communication channel, and his face was not good-looking at all.
"That was written by me, how could it go wrong?"
"The data channels are all occupied, haven't you tried shutting down?"
"Are they part of the same system as the Dome? What idiot designed this!"
"Brother? That's okay."
"I'll be there right away."
It was not only Hayato who noticed Keppei's serious expression, but also Yugi. Watching him take his hands away from the headphones, Yugi asked: "What happened, Keppei-san?"
"Well, it's not the Dome, but the Kaiba Paradise building next door." Keipei looked around, sighed, and lowered his voice and said, "It's a bit inconvenient to go into too much detail here. Anyway, what follows is
I may not be able to continue watching the game. Sorry, Yugi, Hayato-nii."
As he spoke, Keppei stood up with an apologetic look on his face: "Although I am looking forward to your next duel, as expected, I still have to fulfill my duties as the vice president of Kaiba Group."
"Something happened at Kaiba Paradise?" Hayato was a little confused, because in his impression, although there were problems with the KC Cup on the original timeline, it was in the last few rounds, because of that "Ziege"
"Fried" only appeared, is it too early for problems to arise now?
Moreover, even if the guy who looks like he came out of Norse mythology wants to cause trouble, he should come to destroy the KC Cup that is in full swing here at the Kaiba Dome, instead of going to the Kaiba next door that was completed at the same time as the Kaiba Dome.
Something is happening in the paradise building.
In order to attract as much interest in Duel Monsters as possible from passers-by who don't know much about Duel Monsters, the KC Cup preliminary duels will be divided into two days as there are 64 participants and a full 32 games will be held.
Before it is the contestant's turn, no one can predict who their next opponent will be. It is completely randomly selected on the spot.
——By the way, that Kaiba guy is rare and does not like the new and hates the old. Instead, he moved the "Blue Eyes White Dragon Lottery Machine GO! GO!" that was used on the "Santo Ann" airship in Duel City.
Come out and use it for lottery——
However, the contestants knew in advance whether they had any competitions to take place today so that they could arrange their time reasonably. Duelists who had competitions today naturally waited at the Kaiba Dome, while duelists who did not have competitions could choose to stay.
You can watch the battle and collect intelligence, or you can leave on your own. Of course, most duelists choose the former.
Inside the castle, the duels between Maura and Mai are scheduled for today, while Hayato and Yugi's matches will be held tomorrow. Also dueling tomorrow will be Kaiba.
If he hadn't been assigned to different groups and wouldn't have faced each other in advance, Hayato guessed that Kaiba's guy must have done some trick to put them together to play cards with him. It's not like he had never done this kind of thing before.
The reason why Hayato stayed at the venue to watch the battle was because he wanted to see if there were any duelists who needed to be wary, such as Ameruda and the "Three Musketeers of Doma", such as Jonouchi, Yugi, Kaiba and others, if they were planning to print out new cards.
Give yourself a surprise, such as who the guy whose real name was probably "Siegfried" became under his pseudonym, and do you need to expose his conspiracy in advance?
However, since there is a problem with the Haima Group, I have nothing to do, so I am still happy to lend a hand.
"Do you need me to come with you, Keppei?" Hayato also stood up, "Anyway, what's coming next is full of rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs. It's okay if you don't look at them. I'll go with you, so I can help you."
”
"That would be great. Thank you, Hayato-nii."
In the distance, Barong, who was sitting in his seat, grabbed a piece of popcorn and threw it high. He raised his head slightly so that the falling popcorn just entered his mouth. While he was having fun, he caught a glimpse of Hayato and
Keppei was leaving his seat and heading to an unknown place through the emergency passage.
"Kobayashi Hayato? What is that guy going to do?"
Tilting his head, Barong looked back with some boredom.
Compared to Rafiru, a loyal dog who obeys "that lord", and Ameruda, who only has revenge on Seto Kaiba, Baron is considered the most "unmotivated" among the "Three Musketeers of Doma"
.
This is not a derogatory meaning, because Barong's personal philosophy is to always hope to maintain a peaceful life. As long as he is self-satisfied, he will not be overly obsessed with winning or losing, nor will he be entangled in troubles. Likewise, he will not establish a relationship that allows him to live a peaceful life.
The enemy who can't sleep at night. This is his attitude towards the world, and it is also his happiness.
However, if he has to fight with others, he is confident that he will not lose to others.
For the KC Cup, the reason why the three of them came to participate was just because Yameruda wanted to come. Barong didn't have much interest in becoming the first to show off. In his opinion, he only needed to be the one who couldn't.
A fourth place finish that is not too dazzling but not too bad is enough.
If he met Hayato in a duel, Barong might get serious and try his best. It was not to prove that he was stronger than the Duel King. He mainly wanted to think about what "that lord" mentioned by Kobayashi Hayato.
Seizing the card of the [Three Illusion Gods], which played an important role, was somewhat of a reward for "that lord" for getting him out of prison.
However, Barong has seen it. Hayato Kobayashi's duel under the pseudonym "Tan Li Dou" is tomorrow, and his own duel is scheduled for today. There is no possibility that the two of them will face each other in the short term.
p>
Although he pursues victory to some extent, Barong is not so anxious about victory that he will use any means to win. It would be nice to just play with popcorn, so why should he go to Hayato Kobayashi?
With this in mind, Barong threw up a piece of popcorn again, but his other free hand reached into his trouser pocket and sent a message to his companions sitting in other seats:
[Armor Protection] - "I said, I just saw Hayato Kobayashi. That guy left the playing field with a kid. I don't know where he is going."
After sending such a message, Baron, who knew that America was very obsessed with Seto Kaiba and even included Hayato Kobayashi in his list that he needed to defeat, wanted to see what happened after he learned the news about his Gonghuo.
After a while of silence in their "Three Musketeers of Thomas" discussion group, Amaluda sent a message:
[I heard that the natural enemy of seahorses is sea snakes] - "I'm not interested in that guy Kobayashi Hayato at all. If you want to duel with him, Barong, then that's up to you. I don't care."
[Ah ~ Aitos] - "Ameruda, I remember that you really wanted to have a duel with Kobayashi Hayato before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
[Armor Protection]——"Have you dueled with him?"
[I heard that seahorses’ natural enemies are sea snakes]——“No!”
[I heard that the natural enemy of seahorses is sea snakes] - "Ahem, mainly, I think that as the most famous duelist in the world and the strongest duelist shown in front of the public, Kobayashi Hayato, if it is too early
It is not a good thing to alarm him. For the sake of 'that lord's' plan, we should wait until the time is right before we challenge him for a duel and take away 'those cards'."
[I heard that the natural enemy of seahorses is sea snakes] - "For the solemn statement, I have never dueled him before, let alone lost, and I was not disgusted either!"
[Armor Protection]——"Yes, yes, there is no relationship between the two."
Baron gave a perfunctory reply to Yameruda, and Baron sighed in disappointment.
That guy Amaluda can't even lie. Everyone can see that. He must have faced off against Hayato Kobayashi at some point during the audition before, and he lost, and the loss was very frustrating.
.
Just as he was about to put his cell phone away and watch the duel that had already started in the venue to pass the time, there was a "buzz" sound. Baron noticed that there was an additional message in the discussion group of the three of them, and the content surprised him.
[Ah ~ Aitos] - "That's true. It's not appropriate to reveal our purpose early now. However, I think we still need to make some basic observations. I'll go over there."
Rafiru went to see Kobayashi Hayato again?
Huh? Why should I say it again?
————Ah~ Shirley————
Seto Kaiba, the president of the well-known Kaiba Group, a genius inventor, a legendary duelist, and a severe card addict who feels uncomfortable if he doesn't play cards for a day.
Although it sounds a bit dreamy, Seto Kaiba's most sincere wish is to build a Kaiba Paradise around the world.
The wish of Kaiba, who is extremely cold and aloof, is so full of childlike innocence. It is as contrasting as a fanma who says his favorite toy is a pink rabbit.
However, Haima's wish is only to build a Haima Paradise for children to play. Considering the different customs and traditions of different countries, it is understandable that the game facilities in Haima Paradise should be adapted to local conditions, right?
Following Keppei, Hayato passed by a game room. Hearing the sound of whips, wailing, and the sound of cotton leaves being pulled from the room, Hayato was filled with the desire to complain. However, considering that
Complaints in this area may lead to the destruction of the world, so you should just endure it for now.
Among the first seahorse parks in the United States, the gap with the seahorse park in Doshino City cannot be described as huge. It can be said that they are two worlds. The American characteristics that Hayato just heard about are the second largest.
The only difference is that in this seahorse paradise——
Ju,ran,does not have,blue eyes,white dragon!!
As if aware of Hayato's doubts, Keipei took the initiative to explain: "Hayato-san, you must be wondering why my brother's favorite [Blue Eyes White Dragon] is not available in this Kaiba Paradise?"
"Well, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem, how can Kaiba Paradise lack [Blue Eyes White Dragon]?" Hayato said with a serious expression, "How can we show the difference of Kaiba Paradise without [Blue Eyes]?
All I can say is that I am young."
"Oh~ Hayato boy, I didn't expect you to agree with Kaiba boy's aesthetic?"
Just after Hayato finished speaking, as if he were a ghost, an unserious voice suddenly sounded from behind Hayato, startling Hayato.
“What’sup! Becas?”
“Yes,I’am~”
The person who appeared behind Hayato was Becas, who was obviously quite young but always looked out of shape. Posing a stance that looked like "Raid the Chicken Kid", Becas greeted Hayato: "
aloha, Hayato boy~"
Hayato glanced at Bekas with disgust, and asked Keppei strangely: "Why does this perverted uncle appear here?"
"Oh, you actually called me a pervert, sosad~"
Keipei, who was next to Hayato, saw Becas's unruly look and turned his head awkwardly: "It's not like I want this guy to participate in Kaiba Paradise."
"Hayato-nii, you know, although after Duel City, many people realized the potential contained in Duel Monsters, there was not enough left for the virtual projection system." As he spoke, Keppei pointed at him.
"Maybe people care, but it's not enough to convince the American government to grant a large piece of land to Haima Group to build Haima Paradise."
"Although Seahorse Paradise has successfully settled in the United States, one person's contribution is indispensable."
"It'sme, It'sme!" Becas raised his hand excitedly, with a smile on his face, "I very much agree with such a great dream for Haima Boy's Haima Paradise, so I also made a
Please help with your strength."
"Bytheway, International Illusion Club has also invested in the American District of Kaiba Park." Bekas patted Hayato on the shoulder, "So, Hayato boy, you are actually a shareholder here."
Hayato glanced at Keppei next to him. Although he looked helpless, Keppei nodded.
This made Hayato suddenly swell.
"What, it turns out that I am also a shareholder here. Ahem, so Guipei, tell this shareholder, what is the problem with Seahorse Paradise?"
"Hayato-nii, you changed your attitude too quickly!" Keipei complained about Hayato, who had adapted to his status as a capitalist in the blink of an eye. He sighed and pointed to a room not far away, "That's where the problem lies."
Area. I originally wanted to recycle the waste and not let my brother continue to waste money, so I took out the thing again and specially wrote a new program."
"It shouldn't be. I don't think I made a mistake?"
Hayato was a little curious, even Keppei, a genius child, made a mistake?
"So what is it?"
"That thing is actually——"
Looking in the direction of Keppei's finger, Hayato saw a huge sign on the wall——
"The new fun of dueling monsters! Want to fight against legendary duelists?"
"Legendary Duelist Portal!"
After walking into the open playground, at first glance, Hayato saw a red ring hanging high in the air spreading light projections, and under the projection, a very familiar person was wearing a light on his wrist.
Taiwan Duel Plate, proudly lifting up his bangs.
"That thing is actually——"
"It's my clone?! The Sith are coming for revenge! Go find Anakin Sky-O!"
"It's not a Star-O battle, that's a duel robot!"
