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

Chapter 453 Cinderella

"Cinderella" seemed a little surprised. "You actually recognized me?"

"Hehe, my male servant is pretty good, isn't he? He even recognizes such an obscure deck as yours."

Qian'er giggled, then snapped her fingers.

Di Xing understood immediately and opened the carriage door, politely helping Qian'er down.

Cinderella's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and she demanded sharply, "Luo Jixian, what are you doing here?"

"Ye Jiahui, of course, is here to settle our score."

"Settle the accounts?"

"You haven't forgotten, have you? Our bet in the Little KC Cup: if I score more than 50 points higher than you, you'll have to pay me 50!"

"You only scored 51 points more than me."

"That means you're over 50!"

"Ha! That's true. A woman like you, whose mind is only focused on dueling, completely lacks any understanding of ladylike elegance. The only thing you can do is outdo me in duels."

"Really?" Qian'er smiled and took Di Xing's hand.

"Look, I now have such excellent male servants. Oh dear, someone who thinks she's a princess is still all alone."

"you you!"

Ye Jiahui's face flushed red from being choked by Qian'er, and suddenly, she revealed a sly smile.

"You must have just picked any random guy to spite me, right? I never imagined you were such a casual person. I'll definitely find the best male servant, unlike you!"

"Really? He just recognized your obscure palace right away."

"You must have told him!"

"How about this?" Qian'er happily sat down on the small stool that Di Xing had brought over.

"You fight my male servant. If you win, the 50 will be wiped clean. If you lose, you'll have to admit he's the perfect male servant."

"Hmm? You want to win in every aspect? This princess accepts your challenge."

"Wait, Qian'er, what will happen to the money if I lose?"

Luo Jixian seemed quite pleased to be called "Qian'er" and didn't correct Di Xing's way of addressing her. Instead, she simply said, "It's alright, I believe you can definitely win."

Di Xing had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.

Ye Jiahui looked at Di Xing with confidence, her eyes seeming to say, "If I can't beat Luo Jixian, can't I beat you?"

Then the two chose rock-paper-scissors to decide who would go first, and surprisingly, Di Xing won!

In his excitement, Di Xing immediately chose to attack first, but when he turned his head, he saw Qian'er with a worried expression.

"Hey, what's troubling you?"

"Although I hate to admit it, that girl is a lot like me. Her luck seems to be conserved. Since she lost to you, whom she's almost never beaten, it means her luck will be much better from now on."

"No way?" Di Xing tried to reassure himself by pulling out five cards, then his expression froze instantly.

All I could see in my hand was one Bone Nightmare, one Bone Princess, and three Bone cards!

They actually drew all three White Bone cards in their opening hand!?

Di Xing's face turned ashen. So it wasn't that his opponent's luck had improved, but that his own luck had worsened?

Then he suddenly noticed that both sides had a combined LP of 4000. "Is this a duel?"

“Yes!” Qian’er said happily.

"But you clearly know that I don't have any dueling skills yet!?"

"That's right, that's exactly why I want you to play more matches like this, so that your dueling skills can awaken."

"You...you don't want me to win, do you?"

"How could that be? If you lose, I'll have to find other ways to raise the money for you, but that might not be in time. So, good luck, young man."

"You bastard! Ugh, I Normal Summon the Bone Princess, its effect sends the Bone Prince from the Deck to the Graveyard, the Bone Prince's effect sends the Bone Couple to the Graveyard, and then I end my turn."

Since he had all three skeletons in his hand, Di Xing could only send one skeleton from his hand to the graveyard.

"You're not even going to set your cards? Heh, looks like this princess's luck is on the better side this time. During my Standby Phase, I'll use the effect of 'Golden Palace of Rapids' to banish ten cards from the top of my Deck, face down!"

"Wait, when did you activate [Golden Palace of Rapids Mountain]?"

"This is my castle, so of course I'll activate it from the start!"

"What? A special rule?"

Di Xing is numb. The Rapids Mountain deck, also known as the Fairy Tale deck, is the deck used by Rein Wilson in the Kaiba Corporation Tournament arc (KC Cup), an original storyline from the first Yu-Gi-Oh! DM anime.

The core of the entire deck is [Golden Palace of Rapids], which is an extremely powerful field spell card, and this little gray guy actually activated it directly.

Di Xing glanced at Qian'er, who was grinning mischievously to the side, and sighed.

Well, searching for "Golden Palace of the Rapids" in this physical card deck isn't too difficult. The "Greybird" card in the deck has the ability to discard itself from the hand to add "Golden Palace of the Rapids" from the deck to the hand.

Furthermore, unlike the enviable side effect in the anime where half of the deck needs to be sent to the graveyard to maintain its existence, the side effect of the real-life card "Golden Palace of Rapids" is that it requires banishing ten cards from the top right side of your deck during the Standby Phase.

As far as Di Xing knew, there were very few ways to recover cards that were excluded from the inside, so this side effect was quite significant. So why did she activate this card in advance and lose ten more cards?

Before Di Xing could figure it out

"I activate the effect of [Golden Palace of the Rapids]: During my Main Phase, I Special Summon 1 monster with the name of [Golden Palace of the Rapids] from my Deck, then I cannot Normal Summon this turn."

Is it here yet? 【Golden Palace of Rapids】an extremely powerful deck with direct Special Summoning ability.

"I hereby Special Summon [Iron Hans]!"

A man with long hair and a long beard, wielding a sharp axe, suddenly rushed onto the field.

What? It's not summoning the witch Trud, who has the effect of destroying cards on the field?

"When [Iron Man] succeeds in three moves, Special Summon 1 [Iron Knight] from your Deck! If I don't have [Golden Palace of Rapids] on my field when this effect resolves, I cannot Special Summon any monster from my Extra Deck this turn."

A knight clad in black iron armor, riding a magnificent steed, swiftly charged into the battlefield.

"Hehe, aren't my two servants handsome? Aren't you eager to know their story? This princess will reluctantly tell you; their story begins..."

"It begins with a hunter who drained a pond, discovered and captured the monster Iron Hans. The prince, being playful, released it, but the hunter kidnapped the prince instead. Later, the hunter promised to grant the prince three wishes. The prince wished for armor and a warhorse, helped a princess from another country drive away foreign enemies, and then married the princess. Iron Hans also regained his status as king!"

Di Xing used his inherent skill to quickly spoil the plot.

"You, you!" Ye Jiahui trembled with anger. "You know I'm very happy about this story, but can't you let me finish telling it?"

"No, please continue the duel!"

Ye Jiahui was so angry she almost fainted!
