Is this the world of Yu-Gi-Oh? Ada thief!

"We meet again, Hayato-kun." Peacock Mai smiled and looked at the weak-looking Tapiroshi who was following Hayato, "Did you meet a new companion instead of being with Yugi and the others?"

"H-Hello, my name is Taira, and I am Hayato-kun's classmate." Although Maoquewu is an out-and-out beauty, her aura is as strong as her figure, and she is a timid Taira. Although he completed the self-introduction, it obviously failed to arouse Peacock Dance's interest.

Hayato glanced at the pair of dueling gloves that Maiko Wu had just put on. The number of star chips inlaid on them had already filled a full circle, and even one was inlaid in the second circle. Apparently, ten of them had been collected. Star chips.

It stands to reason that Peacock Dance now has the qualifications to enter Bekas's castle to participate in the final round of the Duel Kingdom Competition. She has gathered them all in less than a day. Her strength is among all the duelists participating in this competition. It’s pretty good too.

However, she didn't immediately seize the spot. Instead, she changed into a new pair of gloves and went to the island to find other duelists to duel, which was puzzling.

"Ryuuzaki just told me that he lost two chips. If you add those two, you should have thirteen, right, Miss Mai? It's really amazing that you have collected so many chips in just a few hours since the opening. A female duelist."

"If you didn't give that guy named Jonouchi a chip, you should have eight chips now, right?" Hayato was looking at Peacock Dance, and Peacock Dance also saw the only three vacancies on Hayato's gloves, " So it’s really hard to understand how you guys talk so much about ‘bonds’ and ‘friendships’ and the like.”

"The so-called 'people' are just a handful, and you can't go far alone. However, I don't think you, Mai-san, paid the price of two chips to let that guy Ryuzaki bring me here. Are you bored and want to chat?"

Hayato looked at the dueling platform in the distance that had not been folded up. The virtual field on it was the [Forest], which could increase the attack power and defense power of insects, beasts, plants, and beast-warrior monsters. However, whether it is the Bird Beast Clan that Peacock Dance is good at or Ryuzaki’s Dinosaur Clan, the [Forest] venue will not provide additional bonuses.

Peacock Wu also looked at the duel stage: "How are you, are you satisfied with this venue? Let's have a duel. Let me explain in advance, I am good at using mostly wind-attributed bird-or-beast monsters, which are different from the warrior-type monsters you use. Same thing, there’s no venue bonus, right?”

"In order to defeat the opponent in a fair environment?" Hayato really has no need for a duel venue. "Well, let's duel. The number of star chips to bet is up to you."

Just when Hayabusa and Peacock Mai boarded the duel stage, the man in black who had given Peacock Mai new gloves did not leave. Instead, he looked at Hayabusa and Peacock Mai who were ready and pinned them on their chests. The microphone reported.

"...Yes, it has started. Okay, I understand. Right..."

Judging from his respectful look, it was obvious that there must be a big shot on the other end of the communication channel.

On the duel stage, Hayato and Peacock Mai have already placed their own decks. Taking off three star chips from his gloves, Peacock Dance raised his hand and signaled to Hayato: "You should be only three chips away from ten now, right? Then I'll just bet three chips."

"It's really the speech of the wealthy. Since you want to help me complete the collection of chips early, then I'd better obey your order." Hayato also took off three chips from his gloves and placed them on the duel table.

"Duel!" x2

[Hayato: 4000LP]

[Peacock Dance: 4000LP]

"I get the first strike. My turn is to draw cards!" Hayato completed the card draw action one step faster than Peacock Dance, seizing the opportunity to strike first. However, Hayato is also a little confused, because he remembers that Peacock Dance seemed to be a dealer, but why did he move faster?

After taking a look at the cards in his hand, Hayato felt a little troubled. The long-lost handicap is back again. It was clear that the duel with Yu Moth, Dark Tapiron and Anasis was quite smooth before, so why did it happen again this time?

"Activate [Goblin Rogue] in my hand to steal 500 of your basic points, then summon a monster in face-down defense position, covering two cards, and the round ends."

[Goblin Rogue], which has simple and easy-to-use effects, appeared for the first time in a long time, creating a 1,000-point health gap for Hayato. Since he was attacking first, Hayato just covered a few cards on the field and ended the turn.

[Peacock Dance: 4000LP→3500LP]

[Hayato: 4000LP→4500LP, 2 cards in hand]

[Monster in defense position]

[Cover card] [Cover card]

"Although it looks ugly, it's a very powerful card." Peacock Dance looked at Hayato's [Goblin Rogue] who stole his life points. Although there are "cards that simply damage base points are not allowed to be used" in Duel Kingdom, such as [Fireball], cards such as [Destruction Wheel] and [Goblin Rogue] that do not damage base points unilaterally can be used.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Pulling out a card from the deck, Peacock Dance thought for a moment and played the card: "Although it is not the best time, after all, the opponent is you, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful. Activate the magic card, [Eagle Body] Banshee’s Feather Sweep]!”

A huge broom appeared on the field. The material seemed to be made of feathers from some kind of bird. With just one sweep of the giant broom, a strong wind appeared in Hayato's backcourt out of thin air. The two cards he had previously covered were lifted up by the strong wind and torn to pieces.

Before the two cards were shattered, Peacock Dance used her good eyesight to see clearly the names of the cards, which were [Disruption Magic] and [Time Machine].

"Is that a trap that can resurrect monsters? But what is the other one?" Peacock Dance knew the card [Time Machine], but this was the first time she saw the other magic card [Disruption Magic], "Look The name should have something to do with those [disruption] monsters of yours, right?"

"It's exactly what Ryuzaki said. Mai, you are very good at destroying cards in the backcourt." Although Ryuzaki didn't tell Hayato, Hayato also knew that Mai had such a powerful clearing card, but he couldn't say, "Look with me. "It's the same as in the past animations." "Although it is a pity that the [Time Machine] was destroyed, the [Disruption Magic] also triggered the effect."

"When this card is sent from the hand or the field to the graveyard, I can add three fish monsters of unknown meaning from my deck to my hand."

After the strong wind, a common stage curtain appeared in Hayato's backcourt. From behind the curtain, Peacock Dance saw three disgusting monsters that impressed her deeply - the three brothers [Disruption·Yellow/Green/Black].

"Cry for my strength~"

"Let me tell you beforehand, I'm very strong!"

"Can I kill you? You don't have to answer."

Although he said very handsome lines, it could not change that without the coordination of the field, the three monsters were just some trash fish with zero attack power.

After adding three living treasures to his hand, Hayato showed his hands to indicate that his effects had been processed and the peacock dance could continue.
