Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 6 Malik, go get your brain checked.

Kagura Kiryu thought about it and felt it was very likely.

The main reason was that he remembered hearing the voices coming from the deck before he traveled through time.

He approached the rare card hunter, picked up the scattered deck, and examined it carefully: "They're all fake cards."

Jonouchi Katsuya approached unnoticed, glanced at the deck in his hand, and exclaimed indignantly, "The people of Gurus are always like this!"

He waved his fist: "Last time I ran into a Gurus Hunter who wanted to bet on cards with me, and after I won, I found out his deck was full of fake cards!"

At that moment, Kagura Kiryu made a discovery: "Hmm? This Minotaur seems to be real. It should be the only real card in his deck."

He waved the card at the motionless rare card hunter lying on the ground: "Then, according to the bet, I'll take this Minotaur."

Jonouchi suddenly exclaimed, patting Kagura Kiryu on the shoulder, "You're amazing! You're practically second only to me, Jonouchi-sama! What's your name?"

Orange Juice was quite confident (Jounouchi's nickname was Orange Juice), but after all, he was a reformed delinquent and not a bad person at heart, so Kagura Kiryu didn't hold it against him.

"My name is Kagura Kiryu, nice to meet you."

Kiryu Kagura greeted Jonouchi, mimicking the characters from the Japanese anime she watched.

"Then I'll call you Kagura from now on!"

Jonouchi readily threw a punch: "Even though you already know, I still want to introduce myself. I'm Jonouchi Katsuya, everyone calls me Jonouchi!"

Kagura Kiryu maintained a polite smile: "Thank you very much this time. Otherwise, if these people from Gurus had refused to admit their defeat and had just stolen my card, it would have been terrible."

Feeling a little embarrassed by the sudden thank you, Jonouchi touched his blond hair.

"Hahaha, it's okay."

Kagura Kiryu chuckled inwardly. Heh, that really doesn't matter. A few burly men who are only two meters tall are a piece of cake for Jonouchi.

After all, in the original work, he was comparable to a god of war. I remember he was a fighting expert who, together with his good friend Honda, defeated a group of people.

Even though the Winged Dragon's face was pulled so hard, it woke up after only a few hours and was as lively and energetic as if nothing had happened.

This is only in the world of Card King. In other worlds, I, Orange Juice, would at least be a little Chinese.

"Hey, we can't stay here any longer, Kagura, let's go!"

The two had just taken a step when they suddenly heard a voice behind them say, "Stop!"

The two turned around in surprise and found that the rare card hunter, who had just been unconscious, had shakily stood up.

His eyes were lifeless, and the same thousand-year-old eye mark as the thousand-year-old tin staff appeared on his forehead.

Kagura Kiryu realized that Malik must have possessed him.

Malik is the leader of the Gurus and possesses the Millennium Staff, one of the seven Millennium Artifacts, which allows him to modify and control the memories of others.

That's how it seems in the anime; every time one of his rare card hunters loses, Malik uses the Millennium Staff to drill into the hunter's brain.

Then he'd throw out a couple of useless harsh words or threats, and casually punish his subordinates by turning them into a vegetable or something like that.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but complain. No wonder Malik, nicknamed "Six-Year-Old," is terrible at cards, but he's ruthless when it comes to his own people.

Well, at this stage, Malik probably hasn't yet "six years old" taken over; he's probably a rather immature Malik.

Just as he expected, the rare card hunter, seeing the two turn around, opened his mouth and uttered a youthful voice that didn't belong to him:

"I am Malik Ishtar, it's been a long time, Katsuya Jonouchi..."

"And, nice to meet you, Kagura Kiryu."

"Malik!"

Jonouchi shouted excitedly, "It really is you, you bastard!"

"Hmph, Jonouchi, it's a shame I couldn't steal your Red-Eyes Black Dragon last time."

Malik was standing on a yacht hundreds of kilometers away from Domino City, but his mind had already entered the realm of the rare card hunters before them.

"But you're not my target today."

The rare card hunter turned to Kagura Kiryu and spoke in Malik's voice:

"Kagura Kiryu, I saw the duel just now. Through this trash's memories, you are indeed a duelist with considerable strength."

"And, I didn't expect you to possess a rare card, Dark Magician."

"Hmph, very well, I've made up my mind. I'm going to take your Black Magician, and Jonouchi's Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

"It's a pity I haven't arrived in Domino City yet, but no problem, I'll send out Gurus's assassins, elite rare card hunters, to give them a good beating!"

After saying that, the rare card hunter collapsed to the ground, and the Millennium Eye mark on his forehead gradually faded away.

Kagura Kiryu: "So, this Mr. Malik just wanted to say hello to us and then remind us that he's sent out enemies?"

"Why not just act quietly? Wouldn't that be more effective?"

Jonouchi Katsuya:......

It would have been better if you hadn't said anything, but now that you've mentioned it, I suddenly feel like Malik might have some mental issues.

"Who knows, maybe he's mentally ill."

The two parted ways quickly, and Kagura Kiryu kept his head down and lost in thought on his way home.

In the original story, Jonouchi learned about Malik after the start of Duel City.

This world is indeed quite different from anime.

As for being targeted by rare card hunters, he accepts it well.

After all, the value of three Dark Magicians is undeniable, and they'll definitely face the challenge of rare card hunters in Duel City.

It's just a few days earlier at most.

"Mio-neechan, you're awake."

As soon as Kagura Kiryu got home, he saw Yosaki Mio sprawled on the sofa watching TV, with a bunch of snacks in her arms, looking every bit the homebody.

"You went out? No wonder I couldn't find you."

She glanced casually at Kagura Kiryu, then instantly became alert: "You went out to duel someone?"

Kagura Kiryu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to confess: "A rare card hunter from Gurus is trying to steal my card."

"What!?"

Yosaki Mio jumped up immediately, her revealing outfit on full display: "They even dared to steal my little brother's card, these Gurus!"

"Come on, let me help you get your card back."

No, no.

Kagura Kiryu quickly stopped him, saying, "I won."

Yosaki Mio froze, then suddenly leaned closer, her beautiful face almost touching hers: "You? The rare card hunter who beat Gurus?"

Kiryu Kagura felt a little embarrassed, but didn't show it on her face: "Yeah, but it seems they're holding a grudge and saying they'll send an even stronger duelist."

He said seriously, "Sister Ling, these people are all bad people who have no sense of martial ethics. Be careful lately, lest they take their anger out on you."

"Ha, who do you think I am?"

Yosaki Mio puffed out her chest triumphantly, her chest rippling from the sudden movement: "I'm pretty strong."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Kagura Kiryu sighed, and just as he was about to sneak back to the attic, he was grabbed by Yosaki Mio.

Her imposing gaze swept over me: "Don't try to change the subject. You still haven't said how you defeated Gurus."
