Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 20 is here!

Chapter Twenty: Here it is!

"Not bad, that's pretty good. I've lost."

"Wow, how can there be such a card?" You must have cheated! Ai Xiao started throwing a tantrum.

"Alright, Ah Xiao, a loss is a loss, stop making a scene."

As he spoke, he looked at Di Xing and said, "Young man, you are indeed amazing. Also, could you repeat the summoning incantation you just recited?"

Hahaha, everyone has a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) soul after all!

Ai Xiao seemed taken aback by this rare display of her brother's behavior. She covered her mouth with her small hand, her eyes widening. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as if she had remembered something. She ran over with a bright smile and took Di Xing's arm. Ace's eyebrows furrowed instantly. "Brother, you lost to Di Xing, which proves he's stronger than you. If I beat him, does that mean I'm stronger than you and can go on a mission?" Before Ace could reply, Ai Xiao looked at Di Xing and said, "Brother Di Xing, let's have a match. If you lose, you have to be my boyfriend!" As she spoke, she revealed a sly smile.

Hearing this, Ace frowned even more. He'd seen this kind of scene in novels. If nothing unexpected happened, this kid would say, "I won't lose," and then mercilessly defeat his little sister. His sister, furious at his blockhead behavior, would keep causing him trouble, only to be defeated in the end. No, he absolutely couldn't let that happen.

Sure enough, he heard Di Xing reply, "Hmph, what do you take a duel for? It's my life's creed! You think you can make me submit for such a paltry gain? Hmph, let me tell you, no way!"

Ai Xiao was a little confused. He was calling his girlfriend "Little Bit of Profit"? What did he want then? Could it be...? No way, she was still a virgin, never even had a boyfriend. This was too early.

"Then what do you want?"

"Dejia..."

"rogue"

Before he could finish the third word, Ai Xiao, blushing, swung her hand at him, but very slowly, clearly not intending to really hit him. Di Xing tilted his head back to avoid the slap and continued, "There's one more condition: let me operate the fire-fighting robot."

"？？？"

Seeing Ace's bewildered expression, Di Xing quickly said, "Or just let me operate the fire-fighting robot, I don't care about any other conditions."

Good grief, I thought the blond guy had his eye on my sister, but it turns out he's after my beloved motorcycle! Where's Ghost Fire Motorcycle? Ghost Fire Motorcycle, please help! Is it crying its eyes out in the bathroom?

Ai Xiao's face turned red; was her attractiveness really not as high as that of a fire truck?

"No, they won't let the fire truck pass..."

"Okay, if you lose, you can have the fire truck."

"???"

For his own sister, he had to sacrifice his beloved car. Foolish sister, look, you're not even as important to this man as a fire truck.

Di Xing and Ai Xiao engaged in a duel. Unexpectedly, Di Xing won the rock-paper-scissors round this time. So, Di Xing, who had the first move, immediately conceded defeat and happily went to drive the fire truck, leaving Ai Xiao, who was holding a bunch of cards, standing there bewildered in the wind.

......

Di Xing enjoyed the ride for only five minutes before handing the fire truck back to the driver. Although he had a license, it was his first time driving such a large vehicle, and he was worried about causing an accident, so he decided to only enjoy it for a short while. To his disappointment, the fire truck didn't have a driver's cab, so his dream of piloting a Gundam was dashed.

The fire trucks quickly arrived at the scrap metal area. Contrary to Di Xing's expectations, the area wasn't as filthy and chaotic as he'd imagined; the building layout was relatively orderly. However, the area's walls, buildings, and public facilities were almost entirely constructed from scrap metal. In an environmental awards competition, this area would undoubtedly rank first. But in reality, it was a choice made out of necessity by the residents. Given a choice, they would rather not be so environmentally conscious. Thinking about it this way, it's somewhat ironic.

Di Qing told Ace about his destination, the card shop, "Here it is!" Upon hearing the name, Ace's expression was quite interesting, but he still told Di Xing that the shop was right on their way. So Ace and the others took Di Xing to the street corner where the card shop was located, while they rushed off to rescue the unlucky guy trapped on the power tower.

Di Xing stood at the intersection and peered inside, discovering that the street was full of Western style, with houses decorated with various discarded parts to resemble old Western log cabins. Di Xing walked in for a short while and then saw the card shop [Here it is!].

"This is a card shop?" Di Xing was somewhat surprised, because the building resembled an old-fashioned Western pub more than a card shop. The door was made of two double-leaf radiators, like the semi-open wooden doors of a Western pub, but the sign clearly read "Here it is!"

Without further hesitation, Di Xing pushed open the door and went inside. He found a room full of men dressed in worn-out miner clothes, drinking. Uh, wasn't this just a tavern? But Di Xing still steeled himself and went to the bar. There, he saw a burly figure bending over, searching for something on the liquor shelf.

"Hello," Di Xing greeted cautiously. The burly figure immediately straightened up and turned around. As he stood up completely, Di Xing realized that this person's physique was even stronger than Ace's. His store manager's uniform seemed to be about to burst open from his monstrous muscles. A thick mustache covered his mouth, and his eyes behind his square-framed glasses were narrowed to slits. His hair was cut short, and on top of it were... were... a pair of rabbit ears?

The scene before him was so bizarre that Di Xing was momentarily speechless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what would you like to order?"

"I...uh...I'm here to buy a card." Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper slightly opened his left eye, flashing a fierce light that made Di Xing tremble all over.

"Sir, this shop sells alcohol. If you want to buy cards, please go elsewhere." Di Xing wanted to turn and run, but Li Fei Hua Yue had told him that this was the only shop on the entire fourth floor that had two cards for "Neighbor's Lawn Mowing," and he really didn't want to give up. "But...but the terminal shows that you sell cards here."

"This guest, are you deaf?" The manager brought his face close to Di Xing's, the oppressive aura causing Di Xing to break out in a cold sweat. "Manager!" Just then, a reproachful voice came, "You're intimidating the guests again." A tall girl dressed as a Western waitress in a linen dress came out from the back room. On the tray in her hands were a hot dish and several bottles of wine. The girl had a waterfall of black hair, and her purple eyes seemed to be flowing with another waterfall of violets.

Upon seeing the girl, the shop manager's imposing manner instantly softened. "No, Lunya, this person insisted on buying a card from me, and he wouldn't listen to my explanation."

Upon hearing this, Lunia approached Di Xing apologetically and bowed to him, saying, "I'm sorry, sir, we no longer run a card shop; we're a tavern now."
