"It's really tiring to have to duel as soon as I get back. But, it's okay, it's the duel you want."
Hayato looked helpless, but he still accepted Ed's duel challenge, even though he didn't arrive at the villa much earlier than Ed. "But is it appropriate to use a rare wish in a place like this? I thought you would be more willing.
Do you want something like an autograph and a photo?”
"That's me too..." I had to admit that Ed was really moved. After all, his initial wish was just like this, to take a photo with the idol he had always longed for, and even get an autograph and so on. There was no way he could refuse.
But he still restrained himself and recalled the adventures he had experienced on the island in the past week. He looked at Hayato with determined eyes: "Although I am very excited, I have realized in the past few days that as a duel
The person still needs to be powerful enough, and other pursuits must be placed behind the pursuit of power."
"This sentence is very suitable to my taste. Yes, yes, throw away the tiles! The battle between duel monsters is essentially the battle of 'throwing out the tiles'! Whether it is the power of cards, the power of the heart or anything else, only those who have
Only the side that throws more tiles is qualified to continue to exist as the winner, while the loser who loses the tiles is not qualified to talk about pursuit.”
Hayato nodded in approval, "Dueling Monsters has always been such a cruel game. It can generate the pursuit of throwing bricks. Such growth makes me very happy. The efforts I spent on this island are not in vain."
"The effort you put into it?"
Ed could tentatively guess that the materialization of the duel monsters on the island was caused by Hayato, but listening to Hayato's words, he felt that Hayato seemed to have another layer of meaning in it. It seemed that he had done something recently?
However, Ed did not ask his doubts, but said seriously: "Yes, although I know that I am no match for you, Mr. Hayato, but only when I see a sufficiently ambitious goal can I have enough motivation to move forward."
"It's good that you won't be so shocked that you lose your confidence. But you can rest assured that I won't pull out such crazy decks as [Tear of Tears], [Kushe], and [Sacred Monument] when playing cards with you.
." Hayato patted Ed on the shoulder and said with a smile, "But you should also want to start the duel in a complete state, right? Anyway, there is no rush for a while, let's go and rest first. This villa is prepared for this.
of."
"Pah——"
As Hayato snapped his fingers, the door of the villa behind him slowly opened. [Half-Dragon Maid, Washer Dragon Girl] and [Half-Dragon Maid, Waiter Dragon Girl], that is, Xiao Lan and Xiao Green, pushed open the door.
Welcome guests.
"Master, welcome home~" This is Xiaolan who bowed respectfully after remembering the teachings of the [Half-Dragon Maid and Baby-nurturing Dragon Girl], and then smiled stupidly at Hayato.
However, Xiao Lu, who is specialized in entertaining guests and is known as the "parlour maid", is much more professional. Not only does she still maintain an elegant manner, but she also does not forget to welcome Ed. "Guests from afar, welcome to you.
The arrival of."
Although he can barely be considered "successful" now, Ed has never lived a life of being served by maids. How has he ever seen such a battle? Even if the maids in front of him are mainly to welcome Hayato back and greet him by the way,
Ed was still a bit at a loss as he hesitated in the garden in front of the villa, not daring to go ahead, and glanced awkwardly at Hayato beside him.
Hayato thinks that Ed's behavior is quite normal. Students at the age of fifteen, sixty or seven should behave like students, and pretending to be like a little adult every day is not cute at all. This kind of shyness is what young people should have.
His mental state - having said that, even though Hayato and Jonouchi were the same age when they were in school, they were not much better. The most student-like thing about their bodies was probably the school uniform.
Game? In the game before the senior year of high school, he was sitting at the same table as Keppei and Rebecca, just like an elementary school student. Even before graduating from high school, he relied on Jonouchi's "secret training method" to only increase his height to Sera's height.
The water of a twelve or thirteen year old junior high school student
Even though he was flat, his height skyrocketed during college as if he was fighting in the Holy Grail War. At the age of twenty-three, the age when most people stop growing taller, he still maintained his belated growth, and finally exceeded 1.7 meters this year -
—At least taller than Xingzi, who is 1.65 meters tall.
"You have worked very hard today, Xiaolan, you deserve praise." He calmly accepted the greetings of the two maids in front of the door. Hayato walked up and touched Xiaolan's hair and rubbed her cheek.
(Tang Xiaolan)
"Uh-huh! Why are you rubbing my face!"
"Who is Xiaolan? You smile so much." Hayato said as he rubbed it, "Hehe, a Xiaolan like you is not only responsible for washing clothes, but your face also needs to be rubbed and played with by me!"
However, after Hayato finished speaking, Xiaolan's furry long tail, which was wagging like a dog's tail behind her because Hayato was rubbing her face, suddenly froze and stood upright. It was not because of the "upright is a dog"
Sort of like that, but because she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten, and looked at Hayato with tears in her eyes: "I put the washed clothes in the washing machine and forgot to dry them!"
"Wow! I'm going to dry the clothes right now. Master, don't fire me!" In a panic, Xiaolan ran out to the laundry room in the garden and said as she ran.
"Okay, I can have one more snack while Xiaolan is away." Seeing Xiaolan running away, Xiaolu's eyes lit up and she stared at Xiaolan's portion of food. She pulled Hayato with a smile and said, "
Master, let’s go in quickly.”
(Ear-Moving Magic Power (Conviction)
Seeing the dragon maid in front of him dragging Hayato into the villa, Ed was embarrassed to continue standing in the garden alone, so he followed her into the villa.
As early as when Hayato came to the villa and waited for the first person to arrive at the end, because the villa was equipped with surveillance cameras that could monitor most of the island, the dragon maids roughly judged how long it would take for the master to arrive with the guests.
The whole family's [Half-Dragon Maid/Dragon Housekeeper] arranged early for the person in charge of the kitchen - [Half-Dragon Maid/Cooking Dragon Girl] to prepare meals for Hayato and the others.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Considering that Ed and his students experienced a week of wilderness life on the island, even if there were a large number of supply points along the way, they could freely replenish the supplies they liked.
, but not everyone can be as lucky as Judai to meet chefs like Ameluda who are good at processing ingredients. Their skills are enough to process semi-finished products, and raw ingredients are guaranteed to be cooked at best.
Guaranteed taste.
Therefore, Xiao Hong simply made a dessert that could replenish energy, taste the most suitable for most people, and make people feel happy. She also made a cake with extra celebratory meaning for Ed and the others to eat.
Ed was a little flattered when Little Green pushed a cart to the restaurant with a large three-layer cake.
"cake?"
"It's the strawberry cake, because a special feature that the owner is following just happened to have related content. I guess the owner will be interested, so I chose the strawberry cake." Behind Xiao Lu, Xiao Hong was also pushing a car.
The dining cart came to the living room. Different from the dining cart filled with cakes and tableware pushed by Xiao Lu, her cart contained some drinks and a variety of dishes, so that even people who don't like sweets can have other choices. Consider
It has to be quite thorough.
Although the maids have a clear division of labor, the work in the kitchen has been completed, and the Xiaolin family does not have such strict hierarchical rules. Otherwise, Xiaolu's previous behavior of dragging Hayato into the villa would be considered disrespectful.
Naturally, Hong also came to the living room to meet the master whom he hadn’t seen for a long time to replenish Hayato’s energy (Xiao Hong: delete this sentence!).
"You're welcome. You've seen such a big cake. You won't be able to finish it. Let's have some dessert and relax." Looking at the complete cake, Hayato was a little surprised. He greeted Ed and teased Little Green Road.
, "You didn't steal anything today, Xiaolu?"
"Hey, it's actually because when Xiao Hongjiang made the cake, she made a few more copies of ours, and they were specially based on us, seven different cakes." Xiao Lu said with a smile, "But Master, you
They already have such a big cake, so they won’t compete with us for our share, right?”
(There are seven types of cakes in the picture. This 22-year-old card predates this year’s Dragon Maid’s new card)
However, the little green foot who seemed to want to leave her job as a maid in the living room and run to the back to "protect" her portion of the cake in advance was stopped by the [Half Dragon Maid·Nursing Dragon Girl] before she took a few steps.
] Then Xiaofen came back, Xiaofen smiled softly, and even narrowed her eyes, looking like she was not a deterrent, "You can't bully Xiaolan, Xiaolu~"
"I, I understand, don't smile so scary, Miss Pinky." The greedy maid stood at attention, and seemed to listen to Little Pink's words. She obediently returned to the dining table to help Hayato and Ed cut the cake.
And pour tea.
(As you know, I have always been a little fan chef)
“Is only black tea okay?”
Hayato suddenly asked Ed this question. Ed, who was about to pick up a piece of strawberry and put it in his mouth, blinked and said quickly, "You can do it, Mr. Hayato, I can do it."
"Haha, it's nothing, I just made a joke suddenly. You can continue." Hayato smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't mean anything else.
After a while, Ed felt that he had almost eaten. Although he could still eat, it was enough for now. The sugar added by the dessert made Ed's mood unconsciously become happy due to the secretion of dopamine. The black tea that was paired with it made his spirit refreshed.
Although it has greatly improved recovery, if you continue to eat it, it will cause you to feel sleepy due to the blood supply to the stomach. The current situation is just right - it refers to the state suitable for preparing for a duel.
"Are you ready? Well, you have a good look. Then if you are ready, let's go to the garden to duel. The space there is wider for dueling monsters." Hayato also wiped his mouth and stood up, and said to Ed.
When you're done, leave first
Opening the living room, he took the duel plate that Xiao Hei handed to him from the guest maid who also came to the living room on the first floor - [Half Dragon Maid·Bedroom Dragon Girl], and asked curiously, "But speaking of
,Didn’t you see [Yaoguang] today?”
"Sister Yaoguang, I'm helping the new sister arrange work." Because the clothes that she forgot to dry need to be washed again, Xiaolan is holding a pile of clothes that also need to be washed and plans to move them to the laundry room to wash them together.
He said, "Because the master didn't bring the mistress."
"That's right, that's right." Hayato nodded and casually ordered, "By the way, Xiaolan, go to the door to entertain the other people who will arrive later."
"Hey? Xiaolan, is it me?"
Nodding to herself, Xiao Lan suddenly puffed up her cheeks as if she was angry, "You obviously liked bringing me in the deck so much before. Master, do you want to get rid of me and not bring me into the deck? Wow?
Wow! I knew you, Master, had changed! It was the guy named [Mello Mermaid] who confused you, Master!"
"Ahem, how could I mean that?" Hayato pulled Xiao Lan out of the villa and quietly took out the card of [Tearful Elegy Tribe: Merlot Mermaid] from the deck and put it away - of course he had
I told Ed that he didn't need [Pearl Tears], he just forgot to take out the card. If he forgets to close it, it will be opened?
But since Xiaolan thought, there was nothing she could do, so she might as well get a "Pure [Half-Dragon Maid]" by the way.
After comforting the coquettish Xiaolan, Hayato arranged for someone to go to the door to pick up other students who were coming later, while he waited in the courtyard for Ed to adjust his deck.
And because his opponent was Hayato, Ed carefully spread out all his decks and adjusted them carefully. From time to time, he took out a few of them and exchanged them with the cards in the secondary deck. After a long time, he finished confirming the deck and came back.
In front of the villa.
At some point, the dragon maids who had been present in the villa disappeared one by one. Looking out from the open door, Ed saw only Hayato standing on the road with his back to the fountain in the center of the courtyard.
Between the green plants on both sides, he took a deep breath and stepped into the courtyard.
"Duel!"
There is no need for any warm-up preface. Ed is already in "Climax" at the moment, his fighting spirit is high, and the cards in the deck are excitedly waiting for his call.
This time he not only used [D·hero], but also put into use the [V·hero] card that he had tested in the duel with Kajigi Yuta before, and he used all the means at his disposal.
use.
There was one thing, that is, he didn't know when a card he had never seen before was added to his side deck, but after carefully reading the effect, he added it to the deck and felt that
It might help you in the duel.
[Ed Phoenix: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]
"[Hero] deck user, Ed Phoenix." Looking at Hayato, Ed put on a ready posture, "Mr. Hayato, please give me some advice!"
"Hmm, let's start the duel, Duel." Hayato also unfolded the duel disk and said while drawing out five initial cards, "This time, we are playing a 'Pure [Dragon Maid] deck', come and meet
The dragon maids of the Xiaolin family!"
[Kobayashi Hayato: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]
At the same time, outside the courtyard, Asuka looked helpless and was saying something.
"The first place has already been won? It's still a little bit behind. It's a pity. But if he is Judai, it is normal for him to win so quickly. He is indeed strong."
"Not Judai? Tsk, you actually let that guy who always acts like a guy with sexual orientation issues stick around Judai and disturb me and Judai's communication... the communication duel was preceded by Wan Zhangmu? But I have to admit,
He is quite capable."
"It's not Wan Zhang Mu? That's right. Although he usually doesn't show off, my brother has been called 'King' after all. It's reasonable for him to take the first place."
