Chapter 31 America’s Limited Seahorse Paradise

Seeing Jonouchi defeat Ryuzaki and win 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 Keppei, who was sitting next to him, had one hand on his earphones 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 in the same system as the Dome? What idiot designed it!"

"Brother? That's okay."

"I'll be there right away."

It wasn't just 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 just not this side of the dome, but the Kaiba Paradise building next door." Keipei looked around, sighed, and lowered his voice and said, "It's a little 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 look 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, so it would be too early for problems to arise now, right?

Moreover, even if that 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. There's something going on at 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's preliminary duels will be divided into two days as there are 64 participants and a full 32 matches will be held. Before the contestant's turn, no one can predict who their next opponent will be, it is completely randomly drawn on the spot.

——By the way, that Kaiba guy is rare and does not like the new and dislikes 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. The duelists who have a match today will naturally wait here at the Kaiba Dome, while the duelists who don't have a match can choose to stay and watch the battle to collect information, or they can leave on their own. Of course, most duelists choose the former.

Jonouchi and Maicock's duels are scheduled for today, while Hayato and Yugi's matches are scheduled for tomorrow. Also dueling tomorrow is Kaiba.

If they hadn't been assigned to different groups, they 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 also 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, and Kaiba, to see if they were planning to print new cards. Give yourself a surprise, such as who the guy whose original name was probably "Siegfried" became under his pseudonym, and whether you need to expose his conspiracy in advance.

However, since there is a problem with the Kaiba Group and I have nothing to do, 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, so it's okay if you don't look at them. I'll go with you, so I can help you. "

"That would be perfect. 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 that keeps you awake at night. This is his attitude towards the world, and it is also his happiness.

However, if he had to fight with others, he was confident that he would 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 become a good person. A fourth place finish that's too flashy but not too bad will suffice.

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 the "that lord" whom Kobayashi Hayato had mentioned. Taking away the card of the [Three Illusion Gods], which plays an important role, is somewhat of a reward for "that adult" for getting him out of prison in the first place.

However, Barong had seen it. Kobayashi Hayato's duel under the pseudonym "Tan Li Dou" was tomorrow, and his own duel was scheduled for today. There was no possibility that the two would face each other in the short term.

Although he has some pursuit of victory, 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 Ameluda 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 Doma" discussion group, Amaluda sent a message:

[I heard that the natural enemy of seahorses is sea snakes] - "I'm not interested in Hayato Kobayashi at all. If you want to duel with him, Barong, 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 the natural enemies of seahorses 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 most powerful 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 to a duel and take '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."

After giving a perfunctory reply to Yameruda, Baron sighed in disappointment.

That guy Amaluda can't even lie. Everyone can see that. He must have faced off against Kobayashi Hayato at some point during the auditions before, and he lost, and the loss was very frustrating. .

Just as he was about to put his phone away and watch the duel that had already started in the venue to kill 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 is 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 the extremely cold-hearted Kaiba is so full of childlike innocence, which is as sharp a contrast as a Fanma star saying that his favorite toy is a pink furry bunny.

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 being picked coming 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, I'd better bear with it for now.

Among the first seahorse parks in the United States, the gap between it and the seahorse park in Doshino City cannot be described as large. It can be said that they are two worlds, and the biggest difference is that this seahorse park inside--

Ju,ran,no,have,blue,eyes,white,dragon! !

As if aware of Hayato's doubts, Keppei took the initiative to explain: "Hayato-san, you must be wondering why there is no brother's favorite [Blue Eyes White Dragon] in this Kaiba Paradise, right?"

"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’m getting married.”

"Oh~ Hayato boy, I didn't expect you to agree with Kaiba boy's aesthetics?"

As soon as Hayato finished speaking, like a ghost, an unserious voice suddenly sounded from behind Hayato, startling Hayato.

"What's up! Becas?"

“Yes, I’am~”

The person who appeared behind Hayato was Bekas, who was obviously quite young but always looked out of shape? Putting on a posture that looked like "Chicken Boy Red", Becas greeted Hayato: "aloha, Hayato boy~"

Hayato glanced at Bekas with disgust, and asked Keppei strangely: "Why is this perverted uncle here?"

"Oh, you actually called me a pervert, so sad~"

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 be involved 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 "It may make people care, but it's not enough to impress the American government to grant a large piece of land to Haima Group to build Haima Paradise."

"Although Kaiba Paradise has successfully settled in the United States, one person's contribution is indispensable."

"It's me, It's me!" Becas raised his hand excitedly, with a smile on his face, "For Haima Boy's Haima Paradise, I very much agree with such a great dream, so I also played a role. Help."

"By the way, International Illusion Society also invested in the American District of Kaiba Park." Bekas patted Hayato on the shoulder, "So, Hayato boy, you are actually a shareholder here too."

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 Keihei, tell this shareholder, what is the problem with Kaiba 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. Originally, I wanted to use 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——

"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. The Duel Pan was holding up his bangs proudly.

"That thing is actually——"

"Is it 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!"
