Is this the world of Yu-Gi-Oh? Ada thief!

"Hayato-kun, you are truly a hero." After sending away the students, teachers, directors, and interviewers who had successfully gained Hayato's popularity, the principal mysteriously kept Hayato behind, as if he wanted to follow him say something.

However, he did not get straight to the point. Instead, he continued to be polite and exchanged business compliments skillfully after the interview.

"It's all thanks to the school's cultivation of me. How could I be where I am today without the teachers' education?" Hayato responded with a fake smile, but he had no intention of continuing to talk to the principal, "But principal, you can't help me." If you stay alone, it’s not because you think I’m handsome so you want to watch me for a while, right?”

"Of course I stopped you for a reason, Hayato-san." The principal still had that mysterious smile on his face, "Because a big shot entrusted me with something and asked me to give it to you."

"Big shot?"

Hayato was a little puzzled. He watched the fat principal who looked like G press his big belly, bend down with difficulty, take out a not-so-small box from the drawer of his desk, and place it in front of Hayato.

"This box is something someone asked me to give you, but the person emphasized that only you can open it, so I don't know what's inside." The principal pushed the box towards Hayato, "Remember to take it home. Open it later, Hayato-san. This is also one of the other party's requirements."

"Can I ask first, who is that 'other party'?"

The principal shook his head: "I can't tell you, this is the other party's request. However, he said you will know after you open the box."

Looking at the unexpectedly strict principal, Hayato did not continue to pester him and picked up the box with the handle. It's surprisingly light in the box.

"If there is nothing else, I will go home first, Mr. Principal?"

"Well, let's go, Hayato-san, and be careful on the road~" The expression on the principal's face remained unchanged.

Until Hayato walked out of the principal's office and closed the door.

The closed door seemed to be a pressed switch, and the principal's expression suddenly became confused, as if he was distracted. The hands that had been resting on the table dropped down, and in the movement of expanding his chest, a button on the chest of his suit flew off, exposing his chest.

If Hayato was still here, he would be very surprised, because on the principal's chest, there is actually an ancient Egyptian Eye of Sigatus that exudes a faint golden light. In ancient Egyptian culture, this pattern symbolizes punishment, but in the world of "Yu-Gi-Oh!", this eye can also refer to something--that is, the symbol of "dark games"!

Somewhere unknown, an Egyptian man with a white turban on his head and a white robe opened his blue-grey eyes and murmured to himself: "At the same time, he is entangled with the breath of Pharaoh and Prana. The existence named Hayato, who are you?"

"I hope it won't become a variable that will cause the Pharaoh to return to the underworld..." The man's voice followed his figure, and was gradually swallowed up by the void and disappeared.

————The mastermind————

"Ani, what's in the box?" After leaving the school, the number of people around him had just dwindled, and [Disturbing Yellow] climbed onto the box carried by Hayato and knocked on the outer shell of the box out of curiosity. , want to find out.

"Okay, you still have 9 sentences left to speak today."

"Huh? Why do you have to ask a question? Ani~"

"8."

"Shut up!"

"7."

Counting down to "7", seeing that [Disturbing Yellow] had indeed shut his mouth honestly, Hayato explained this time: "It's not like you didn't hear it when we were in the office before, a guy who doesn't know who he was commissioned The principal gave it to me."

"Although the principal has given people a strange feeling since the interview ended today, the only thing that is certain is that I'd better do what the mysterious man said and open the box after I get home. Hayato paused after saying this, "However, I plan to go find Yugi and the others first. We have an appointment with Jonouchi today."

"How could that guy who is no different from a mortal bone monster be the opponent given by Arnie!"

"Arnie is the strongest, Arnie is the best~"

[Disturbing Green] and [Disturbing Black] also climbed on the suitcase to join in the fun.

"You two have 9 chances to speak today. But don't forget, whoever speaks the least times will be the one who I will use as a punching bag in the next duel." Hayato reminded "kindly" that the disruptor who had just planned to make a noise The brother immediately calmed down obediently.

Walking near Yugi's home, he saw the "GAME" sign of Kameki Game House from a distance, but Hayato noticed something was wrong.

The sky is getting a little dark now. In the past, Mr. Shuangliu, who was looking after the store at this time, had already turned on the signboard lights. He was not the kind of old man who would be reluctant to turn on the lights at night. But today, why didn't the "GAME" signboard of Guiji Game House light up?

Even when he was about to walk to the front of the store, there was no sound from inside, as if no one was at home?

Hayato quickly walked to the door of the game house and pushed the closed door. It didn't move at all. It was obvious that the door was locked.

This is very strange, isn't it? Not to mention Mr. Sugoroku, I made an appointment with Yugi and the others to meet here today. Even if Jonouchi is late today, Yugi and Kyoko should be here, right?

Something must have happened!

Hayato couldn't help but think of Mr. Sugoroku's miraculous "thousand-year hostage" physique. He was kidnapped every time something big happened. He could rival Ayumi from the boy detective team in the studio next door.

With the direction of suspicion, counting the time, it seems that it is time for the shrimp dumplings to kidnap Mr. Shuangliu for a card gambling duel, right?

Turning his head and looking at the towering Kaiba Group building that he could always see no matter where he was in Doshino City, Hayato couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that I have to play a guest role as Runner today. I hope it's not too late." ?”

I vaguely remember that Muto Sugoroku agreed to the duel in order to awaken Kaiba's misguided heart. He relied on his powerful divine drawing ability, meticulous dueling methods, and perfect deck composition.

Then, just as the duel began, he was frightened by the virtual image of the dueling monster and suffered a heart attack and lost the match.

Therefore, a duelist's biggest enemy is heart disease, in addition to women and perfect ☆hands of cards. Not only Muto Sugoroku, there is also a duelist in the future who likes to make whirring sounds, make people stop blinking, and start struggling when full of health. He also lost an easy victory due to heart problems.
