Chapter 773: Come to My Room Tonight
Chapter 773: Come to My Room Tonight
To be fair, the girl before him was indeed stunningly beautiful.
She wore a Gothic dress as deep as the night sky, its fabric resembling satin cut from the darkness. Her skin was as flawless as freshly fallen snow, with a hint of pale pink, as if it had never seen the sun. Her long hair was as dark as midnight, reaching her waist, adorned with intricate braids and delicate hair accessories. Her petite figure was like a delicate work of art, exuding both the cold allure and mystery of the Gothic style, as well as the innocence and liveliness of a young girl.
The first impression she gave was that of flawless beauty, and it was no wonder that her arrival had caused a sensation in the entire dormitory on the very first day. However, there was an air of unreality about her beauty.
Because, at a glance, You Xuan knew she wasn't human.
Now he remembered this story. It was just a single episode within the 180-episode run of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, so he had almost no recollection of it until he saw this girl face-to-face and combined it with the Lost and Found notice he saw in the Student Terminal from Domo-San's magazine.
The girl's name was Alice—this was indeed her real name. But she wasn't human, nor could she be considered a Card Spirit. She was a rare entity in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise—a Doll Spirit.
However, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe, it wasn't just cards that could have spirits; card spirits were just the most common and powerful. Other sentient objects could also potentially house spirits.
Alice's true form was the doll in the school store, a legendary doll said to possess extraordinary powers. She was originally a doll created to guard Duelists, serving a role akin to a talisman, and her duty was to protect the hearts of Duelists.
But later, some students who dueled went astray. They blamed their losses and misfortunes on their cards and decks, believing they were weak and inadequate.
In a fit of anger, a student tore up his monster card on the spot.
This act of tearing didn't seem significant, but the monster card that was inexplicably caught in the crossfire felt wronged. The student was too unskilled to draw the cards he wanted, and yet he blamed the cards for his losses. So, the monster card turned dark, and from the torn card, an evil Card Spirit was born, filled with hatred for all Duelists in the world. It took upon itself the mission to make Duelists lose their Duelist's Heart through Despair Duels.
However, with the spirit's card torn, it had no physical form to act through. So, the hateful spirit set its sights on the nearby Guardian Doll in the school store, forcefully entering the doll's body and causing it to turn dark. It transformed her from a doll that guarded Duelists into a Cursed Doll of resentment.
This was the current Alice.
She appeared before the students as a petite and adorable girl, quickly capturing the hearts and stomachs of almost all the students with her perfect beauty and top-notch cooking skills.
But this was merely bait set by a top-tier hunter. In the original story, Alice bewitched Jaden Yuki so much that he got up in the middle of the night, drooling in his sleep, and sleepwalked into the woods. According to Alice, she had "plunged him into a state of despair through a Duel, from which he couldn't escape."
However, when Jaden and the others arrived, they found Jaden with a flushed face, his eyes filled with hearts, lying on the ground in a daze, his body twitching, a silly smile on his lips, and drooling. He didn't seem to be in a state of despair at all but rather in a state of paradise.
So, what exactly was Alice's "Despair Duel"? We don't know, and we dare not ask.
The outcome seemed desirable, at least from the outside.
"Senior? Senior?"
The cursed doll blinked her big eyes and took a step back, instinctively distancing herself from You Xuan.
She lowered her head and whispered, "You're staring at me, and it's making me nervous."
You Xuan, who had been lost in thought, snapped back to reality.
Then, he smiled warmly.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something." You Xuan moved aside to make room, "It's fine, of course. Feel free to sit here."
But Alice hesitated.
In the original story, after sneaking out of the school store, Alice pretended to be a transfer student and infiltrated the Red Dormitory. However, with the altered world line, she ended up at the Yellow Dormitory, and the reason was simple—it was for You Xuan.
Just like in the anime, she told Judai that she was searching for powerful duelists. The more she could push powerful duelists into an abyss of not wanting to duel, the more accomplished she felt.
Now, with the title of Duel King, You Xuan was undoubtedly the top duelist in the academy. As the saying goes, tall trees catch the wind, and it was only natural for her to come to the Yellow Dormitory, specifically to meet You Xuan.
However, upon meeting him, she hesitated after just one glance.
As a cursed doll who had fallen into darkness, she instinctively felt as if she were staring into an abyss when she saw him.
A voice deep within her warned her that this person was dangerous.
The students around them admired the beautiful elementary school girl who approached You Xuan, but they also understood why she would do so. After all, he was the master of the Yellow Robe and the Duel King. Who wouldn't want to meet him, given the chance?
Alice felt that the man's gaze was friendly and his smile warm, but for some reason, she instinctively wanted to hide.
She tugged at her skirt and whispered, "Um... Senior, I just remembered I have something to do."
"Don't be shy. It's fine, take a seat."
You Xuan smiled politely and paused before narrowing his eyes.
"Or perhaps, you don't want to sit here anymore?"
"No, that's not it!"
Alice quickly sat down.
But after sitting down instinctively, she realized something strange.
Wait, why am I so afraid of him?
Nevertheless, she decided to make the most of the situation. Since she was already there, she might as well follow her original plan.
The Perfect Edition can be read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book Bar is the first to release this novel.
Alice took a deep breath and then pushed the bowl towards You Xuan.
"Um... Senior, would you like to try this?" she asked cautiously, "I made this mango foie gras sushi myself, and it's really good. about the duel or the novel, feel free to ask."
You Xuan didn't hesitate and used his chopsticks to pick up a piece and try it.
It was indeed delicious. No wonder there was such a long line at the dining hall; it wasn't just to see the pretty elementary school girl. Her dueling skills were unknown, but her cooking skills were undoubtedly maxed out.
"Let's skip the prelude and get straight to the point."
You Xuan smiled and said, "We both know why you're here to see me."
The doll girl was startled and hesitated to respond.
"Let's cut to the chase. I'm quite busy. So, tonight at 9 o'clock, come directly to my room."
The doll shrank back, afraid.
"You don't have to. What do you want to do?"
You Xuan looked at her curiously.
"Of course, it's a duel." You Xuan stated matter-of-factly, "That's why you're here, isn't it? What else could it be?"
