Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh!?

Chapter 832: Chapter 805: Visiting Grandpa

"Won!"

Judai happily flashed a victory sign.

"That was a fun duel!"

Even though he said that, his opponent was lying on the ground, eyes rolled back and foaming at the mouth, occasionally twitching, clearly not looking very agreeable.

But Judai didn’t mind.

A Dark Duel always demands a price for losing. But this was his way of helping cultists trapped in darkness break free by dueling, just with some side effects during the liberation process...

...Oh wait, he nearly forgot again. Judai remembered that technically he was now part of the Dark Camp, and the enemies were the Light Camp. If he had to put it, his mission should be to help the cultists trapped in the light return to darkness...

Oh well, that’s not important.

The point is, he’s doing a good deed. And it’s through a joyful duel.

So Judai left the foaming-at-the-mouth member of the association and smiled at the remaining people.

"Who’s next?"

The remaining group all shuddered, averting their eyes like bad students afraid of being called upon by the teacher.

"You?" Judai picked one randomly, "Come on, duel!"

The person shivered and quickly shook his head, "No, no, I... well... I’ve already seen the light!"

"Huh?" Judai was taken aback.

The person quickly took off the bright uniform, rolled it into a ball, and threw it on the ground with disgust, stomping on it a few times.

"Why was I wearing this? What was I doing before?"

The rest were dumbfounded, staring blankly for several seconds.

Realizing it, they quickly followed suit, tearing off their clothes and throwing them onto the ground. Some stomped hard, some cursed about how the Light Association wasted their youth, and some simply spat...

Judai was dumbfounded, blinking twice, unable to speak for a moment.

Huh?

What happened to your faith? Your guidance of light? You said you were ready to shed blood for the Cosmic Light?

Just as he was bewildered, someone patted his shoulder from behind. Judai turned to see it was Yugen.

"It’s already over."

Yugen said.

Judai paused, then quickly understood.

No wonder the original followers’ attitudes changed so quickly, all appearing enlightened and repentant. It looked like the enemy’s root had been eliminated by Yugen, the control of light over them was rapidly fading, so they were able to wake up so quickly.

With that in mind, Judai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness. He thought for a moment that his duel was scary enough to wake up the cultists because they didn’t want to play cards with him.

"Is that it?"

At this moment, Joey also emerged from around the corridor, striding toward the two.

"It’s over already?"

He seemed a bit unsatisfied, like he hadn’t fought enough.

Joey hadn’t dueled much in recent years. He hadn’t participated in any tournaments or faced any proper opponents for years. Suddenly, a series of high-intensity duels reignited his card-playing passion.

"Looks like it is."

Judai turned to look in the direction Yugen came from.

He saw the once proud, world-dominating figure of Merlot now slumped in a corner like a broken toy, muttering to himself.

"No, you can’t..."

"Give it back to me. My light, my other half. I am the chosen one, I must... I can’t..."

Joey, always eager to help, stepped forward to Merlot.

"It’s okay now, you’ve broken free from the Light of Destruction, you’re free."

But Merlot, eyes hollow, looked up at Joey.

"No, you don’t understand," he said dejectedly, "Without it, I’m nothing. Now, I’m a loser again." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Joey frowned.

"If you think you need an inexplicable cosmic fluctuation to not be a loser, then in my eyes, you’ve already failed."

Merlot had none of his former grandeur, looking at him with resentment.

"You’re a legendary duelist; it’s easy for you. You’ll never understand?"

"Me?"

Joey laughed.

"Maybe it seems like that to you, but the most common thing I’ve heard in my life is that I’m a third-rate loser, a talentless Mortal Bone."

"Maybe, maybe that’s really me. I’m not some reincarnated priest, I don’t have a strong soul inhabiting me, nor do I possess any incredible items... damn, maybe I’m just average."

"But,"

He pointed at himself, standing tall and proud.

"I’m someone who never knows how to give up, no matter when. Every day I wake up, I can stand tall and face the person in the mirror, telling myself I’m getting better than yesterday."

Merlot: "..."

Judai was the first to step forward, eyes shining: "Oh wow, Mr. Joey’s so cool!"

"Huh?"

Joey suddenly felt shy.

"Really? Ahaha, I was just saying, but yeah, I know I’m pretty cool..."

Yugen didn’t say anything, but couldn’t help thinking, City Blade, what you said isn’t wrong, but for a man known for rolling sixes on a die, it lacks a bit of persuasiveness.

Probably only the chairman in the world could mock him as a third-rate loser...

But regarding the "never giving up" part, Joey indeed has the right to speak. He really is favored by fate, but in DM, he did keep losing yet grew stronger with each defeat.

Facing the Phantom God with a mortal body, he endured a direct hit from the Winged Divine Dragon’s Divine Breath Cannon in a top-level Dark Game, and still managed to get back up with sheer will and determination. When it comes to willpower and resilience, even the main characters of the generations may not compare to him.

"Anyway, the world has been saved, mission accomplished."

Joey stretched leisurely.

"I’m hungry too," Judai said, rubbing his belly with a laugh.

"Oh, since we’re out anyway... let’s go visit grandpa."

Joey’s eyes lit up.

"And grab a bite to eat."

"Grandpa?" Judai asked curiously, "Mr. Joey, your grandpa?"

"Not mine..." Joey smiled cryptically, "Well, you’ll see when we get there."

...

...

So, a moment later.

In a card-selling old shop in Tongshiyi, a white-haired grandpa was sweeping the floor, occasionally stopping to massage his old waist.

"Sigh, getting old, my back isn’t what it used to be..."

At that moment, as if sensing something, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he pushed the door open.

"Game? Have you come back?"

However, upon stepping out, he saw old acquaintance Joey, along with a jellyfish head red-clothed teenager and a sunny, handsome yellow-clothed teenager, all smiling and greeting him.

Judai: "Oh wow this is the legendary home of Mr. Yugi!"

Yugen: "Hello, sorry to bother you."

Joey: "Long time no see, grandpa!"

"Oh, Joey and friends, come on in."

Grandpa stepped aside, but then muttered curiously.

"Strange, I just felt like Game had returned. This Sixth Sense used to be spot-on..."
