He turned his head stiffly, trying hard to suppress his guilty conscience.
"Hey, Apricot Jam, listen to my story... oops, I mean, listen to what I have to say..."
Kyoko is a girl who can think independently, but it's clear that the disappearance of a living person in front of her still affected her thinking.
Kagura Kiryu had to spend more time explaining to Kyoko things like the Dark Game and how this was a future killer, omitting most of the key information.
Kyoko was a little confused, but she still caught the gist of what was said. Terrified, she clung tightly to Kagura Kiryu's clothes: "Then, then that person just now was...?"
Kiryu Kagura nodded solemnly and said righteously, "The person who came from the future to intercept me has now lost his life in the Dark Game and has been banished to eternal darkness."
Although Masaki Kyoko was terrified, she breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the person was dead: "That's good. Thank you for saving me, Kagura!"
The girl's eyes darted around, her expression grateful, her face slightly flushed. Kagura Kiryu felt a little embarrassed and honestly changed the subject.
He held up the man in black's card deck: "There might be some code from the future in here. I'll take it home and study it carefully before telling you the conclusion."
After saying that, he added, "By the way, Apricot Jam, please don't tell the game developers about what happened today."
Kyoko paused for a moment, then asked, "Why?"
Kagura Kiryu sighed, his voice filled with compassion, "Because they'll worry, and I don't want them to get involved in my affairs, just like you, Kyoko."
When Masaki Kyoko heard Kagura Kiryu call her by her name, her face turned even redder, her eyes sparkling, and she said shyly, "Okay, okay."
Seeing that she agreed, Kagura Kiryu blinked like an anime character and put his finger to his lips:
"It's a deal then, this will be our secret."
He extended his right hand: "Let's pinky swear."
Masaki Kyoko shyly turned her head away and made a pinky promise with Kagura Kiryu.
From an angle where the girl couldn't see, Kagura Kiryu quietly slipped the stolen card into his pocket...
......
As time went by, Domino City gradually became more prosperous and bustling.
There are still 3 days until the start of Duel City, and renowned duelists from all over the world are gradually arriving. Even Kagura Kiryu, an outsider, has felt the excitement.
After that dark duel, Kagura Kiryu's life didn't change much. He still went to school, came home, spent time with his friends through games, and played cards with his sister...
By the way, some plot points were triggered. Ryuji Otogi, who hated games and dice, was successfully redeemed and joined the main characters. Ryo Bakura, who hadn't been to school for several days, also started attending.
As for the other changes...
"Kiryu, wake up! That little girl named Masaki Kyoko is here again, asking you to go to school together."
Mio Yosaki was wearing loose, cool pajamas, her hair was messy, but she was still very beautiful and had a great figure, so even though she was a bit lazy, she was still full of mature older sister charm.
Kagura Kiryu yawned, got up sleepily, tidied himself up, put on his school uniform, and left home.
"Good morning, Anzu. You're here so early every day."
As Kagura Kiryu dawdled along, he immediately spotted the youthful and energetic Masaki Kyoko waiting at the door.
"Hmm, Kiryu, good morning."
Kyoko Masaki smiled and said, "It's a little earlier today than yesterday."
Kagura Kiryu chuckled inwardly, thinking, "It's all because of you, this human alarm clock."
I don't know what's wrong with Masaki Kyoko these days. She insists on dragging Kagura Kiryu to school every day and demands that he be called by his first name "Kiryu" instead of his surname "Kagura".
In Japan, classmates usually address each other by their surnames. Only very close friends will call each other by their first names, without suffixes like "Sang" or "Kimi".
But Kagura isn't Japanese, so she doesn't pay attention to these things. Let Kyoko call her whatever she wants.
Building good relationships with these friends is also a step towards getting into the story.
"Hehe, you're calling me so intimately," Yosaki Mio leaned against the doorframe, her voice as sweet as honey, "Little Anzu?"
Kyoko Masaki's lips twitched slightly, but she put on an overly sweet smile: "Kiryu and I are getting along great, Mio-neechan?"
Kagura Kiryu: ......
Here we go again. These two have been at odds ever since they met the day before yesterday.
Both of them had veins bulging on their foreheads, and although they maintained smiles, their faces were covered in black lines. Kagura Kiryu could even smell the illusory gunpowder.
Fortunately, the two didn't remain locked in a stalemate for long. After exchanging glances for a few seconds, they both let out a hum, and Kyoko immediately took Kagura Kiryu's hand:
"I'm going to school with Kiryu, so you'll be all alone at home!"
Not to be outdone, Yosaki Mio said in a high-pitched voice, "Kiryu-nii, I'll be waiting for you to come back for dinner."
The two parted on bad terms, but thankfully they had already started their journey to school.
Kagura finally breathed a sigh of relief. Women fighting is really scary; she was frightened.
Kyoko dragged Kagura Kiryu along for a while, then suddenly seemed to see something and quickly let go.
Kagura Kiryu looked on curiously and saw a fortune teller in a black robe reaching out to take something from someone not far away, while someone else...
Is it a game where someone is holding a Millennium Puzzle and about to hand it to the other person?
Kagura Kiryu's memories raced through his mind.
Oh no, there's a scene like this in the anime. When Xiao Biao and Anzu were on their way to school, they ran into Keith, a thief disguised as a fortune teller.
Then the other party stole the Millennium Puzzle from Little Biao. Little Biao chased after them and was forced to duel with the thief Keith, who was being controlled by Malik. Before the duel was over, the other party broke the Millennium Puzzle without any sense of sportsmanship.
Realizing this, Kagura Kiryu quickly shouted to his cousin, "Don't give it to him! He's trying to trick me into giving away the Millennium Puzzle!"
Before the game could react to the sound, the strong thief Keith kicked him over, stole the Millennium Puzzle, and ran away.
Kagura Kiryu and Kyoko rushed over and helped the little girl up.
Xiao Biao was a little surprised to see the two of them appear at the same time, but having lost another game, she didn't have time to think too much. She left a "sorry" and rushed off to chase after them.
Seeing this, Kagura Kiryu realized that this was a good opportunity to win over his friend.
He handed the schoolbag to Masaki Kyoko and, just like in the original story, instructed her, "Kyoko, I'm going to help Yugi chase that robber. You go to school first."
Then, under Masaki Kyoko's hesitant gaze, he chased after her without looking back.
Favorability rating, here I come!
......
In the midst of his grief over losing his other self, the game unleashes an astonishing potential, managing to catch up with the long legs of the thief Keith by following a winding and complex path.
The two chased him to the warehouse, where the thief Keith was already prepared. He had hung the Millennium Block from the ceiling, which was equipped with a mechanism, and then chuckled:
"I've linked my life points to this elevator mechanism that controls the Millennium Puzzle. If you want it, fight me."
Two dueling stages from the Duel Kingdom era rose up in the warehouse. Just as Xiao Biao was about to agree, he was interrupted by a "Wait a minute."
Kagura Kiryu walked into the warehouse with a righteous expression: "I'll take care of this duel."
"Kagura..."
Xiao Biao's eyes welled up with tears. He knew that Kagura Kiryu was a powerful duelist, not much different from his other self.
The thief Keith glanced at him and grinned lewdly: "Heh, you're the key target Lord Malik instructed me to keep, aren't you?"
"Very well, let's bury you first, then bury this despicable game!"
