"Huh! I finally made it through. I never thought you could still cause me so much damage in this situation."

Looking back at Youxing, Shizai Qiu understood more and more why Li Youfeng would put so much effort into cultivating Youxing's dueling skills.

"Yuxing, you are indeed a powerful duelist. It's hard for me to imagine that you've become so powerful in just over half a year. To be honest, if Grandpa hadn't helped me adjust my deck before the duel, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to compete with you!"

"Aki, you don't have to belittle yourself."

Just like a conversation between lovers, facing such frankness from Izayoi Aki, Yusei quickly shook his head and retorted, "Everyone has seen your growth. In my opinion, you have become so powerful only because you are an excellent duelist. Mr. Youfeng's teachings have only stimulated your potential. The so-called Duel King's bloodline cannot negate your personal efforts!"

"You are you, the Rose Valkyrie? Aki Izayoi!"

“Youxing….”

Looking at the serious Fudo Yusei, Izayoi Akira liked the former more and more. He himself had a high attack and low defense character. Under Yusei's "sweet talk" offensive, Izayoi Akira with blushing cheeks could only forcibly change the subject.

"Hmph, don't think I'll go easy on you just because you say something to cheer a girl up. Grandpa is watching this duel, so I'm going to do my best to defeat you!"

(Yusei: "Huh?!")

Soon after returning from Star Island, she and Yusei confirmed their relationship. After spending more than half a year together, Shizayoi Akira had long felt that Yusei was the perfect match for her life.

Not only does he have a great personality, but he is also proficient in all kinds of housework and electronic equipment. In addition, he is both hardworking and frugal. To be honest, Shizayoi Aki sometimes really can't imagine where her grandfather found such a god-like boyfriend for her.

Especially when she recalled that she had accompanied Li Youfeng to the prison to rescue Youxing and thought that this person was very unreliable, she felt that fate was sometimes so incomprehensible.

(Note: The most unreasonable but dueling scene in Yu-Gi-Oh is that relationships between men and women are often achieved through duels!

Before the duel: "We can't possibly agree!"

After the duel: "I fully understand your intentions!"

It's hard to explain why playing cards is linked to romance, but I believe all Yu-Gi-Oh fans know that this is Yu-Gi-Oh!

"My turn, draw a card!"

【High-speed counting point travel star 1】

【High-speed counting point Izayoi Autumn 12】

"Two covered cards..."

As he drew the card, he looked towards Yusei's backfield and thought to himself, "My high-speed counter is full. According to the effect of the Field Spell Card High-speed World 2, I can remove 10 high-speed counter points to destroy a card on the field."

"Right now, Yusei has two face-down cards in his backfield. Judging from his daily training, Yusei isn't someone who likes taking risks. So, one of those two face-down cards is most likely the trap card, Scrap Scarecrow!"

"Of course, it's not ruled out that one of the cards was the result of playing tricks on someone, but for me right now, if I rashly launch an attack, it's obviously a gamble."

"I still have plenty of cards in hand. Although I can summon a Black Rose Dragon to destroy all the cards on the field this turn, this option is undoubtedly too risky."

"Plus, my health points are only 500 now. Taking all factors into consideration, all I can do is continue to play it safe!"

Having decided on the strategy for the next duel in his mind, Izayoi Akira first revealed a card from his hand.

"I Normal Summon the Fragrant Night Stalker, Melaleuca in Defense Position!" (Attack 0, Defense 0)

After summoning a cute Plant-type Lolita monster to his frontcourt, Izayoi Aki continued, "Because I summoned a monster with the character 'Fragrance', at this moment, I can recover 1000 health points using the effect of the Continuous Magic Card, Fragrance Gardening!"

"After this, using the effect of the Continuous Trap Card, Nourishing Wind, I will continue to recover 500 health points!"

Izayoi Aki LP500＞1500＞2000

He restored his life points to a relatively safe level right on the kill line, and then Shizayoi Aki took out another card from his hand.

"Next, here's the special effects of the Fragrant Night Demon? Melaleuca!"

"This effect can only be activated when this monster is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned. I can Special Summon 1 non-Tuner Aroma monster from my deck. Additionally, after activating this effect, I cannot Special Summon any non-Plant-Type monster until the end of this turn."

"Using this effect, I will Special Summon my second Level 4 monster, Rosemary the Aroma Wizard, from my Deck in Attack Position!" (ATK 1800, DEF 700)

In an instant, the three monsters gathered together, and Shizayoi Akira raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"1-star Adjustment Monster: Fragrant Night Demon? Melaleuca, 4-star Monster: Fragrant Mage? Rosemary, 1-star Monster: Fragrant Mage? Laurel Adjustment!"

(1+4+1=6)

"The thoughts and bonds that transcend generations will turn into eternal roses. In the name of the heir of the bloodline, I pray that the flowers that symbolize friendship will bloom again in the fragrant garden!"

"Sinclo summons, Fragrant Seraphim Sweet Marjoram, attack display!" (Attack 2200 Defense 2000)

After successfully using Synchro Summon to land the ace monster in the Fragrance Deck, Izayoi Aki, with a boost of confidence, displayed a card that popped out of the deck.

"Sweet Marjoram's special effect activated!"

"If this monster is successfully Synchro Summoned, I can add any one of Nourishing Wind, Thirsty Wind, or Blessing Wind from my deck to my hand."

"According to this effect, I'm going to add Thirsty Wind to my hand!"

After popping a card from his deck and adding it to his hand, Izayoi Aki continued, "Activate the special effect of the Fragrance Mage Laurel in the graveyard!"

"When this monster enters the Graveyard, I can restore 500 Life Points. Also, at the moment I restore Life Points, another special effect of Sweet Marjoram is activated!"

Izayoi Aki LP2000＞2500

"When your life points are restored, you can activate this effect by targeting a card on your opponent's field to destroy it."

"Now, what I want to destroy is the card on the left side of your backfield!"

Yes!

This is also an open conspiracy!

You have to know that there is still a Turtle Beast in Shizakyo's hand, so even if he really hits the Grass Snake with the effect of Sweet Marjoram, it will not have much impact on Shizakyo.

It can be said that all the Stardust Monsters are "feed" for the turtles, so even if they really appear, they will be of no use!

Not only that, because of the efforts of Shirley and Miona, Izayoi Aki's high-speed counting points have now reached 12 points!

With such abundant resources, it is obvious what Izayoi Akira has to do, that is, destroy both of Yusei's backfield cover cards and then launch a fatal attack!

In the maintenance station of the Rozen Maiden team, because Izayoi Akira's health value was once reduced to the killing line, everyone in the team secretly broke into a cold sweat for her.

However, after seeing Izayoi Akira's health points surpass Yusei, Mio couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Great, Aki-sister's health points have surpassed Yusei!"

Shirley also shouted excitedly: "Amazing, really amazing! Aki has become so strong now, I almost don't recognize her anymore!"

"Amazing! You're truly worthy of being Master Aki!"

"What are you talking about? Master Aki is the active Duel King!"

"Magnificent, truly magnificent! Lady Aki is truly no ordinary duelist!"

Not only Shirley and Mio, but the young girls from the Sanctuary Duel Academy in the maintenance station also began to agree!

Cheers and applause mingled like a passionate symphony. The pit was filled with joy and excitement, and everyone was extremely proud of Izayoi Akira's comeback.

Click!

On the high-speed track, as a red card exploded into pieces due to the effect of Sweet Marjoram, the pattern of this card also appeared in Izayoi Akira's field of vision.

"I'm so sorry, Aki. Although you guessed my backcourt cover, your luck doesn't seem to be very good!"

As he spoke, Yusei raised his hand and slapped a card from the Extra Deck onto the Duel Disk.

"Activate the trap card and kill the grass snake!"

"The effect of this card is: If this Set card is removed from the field by an opponent's card effect, sent to the Graveyard, or banished, I can Special Summon 1 monster from my Deck or Extra Deck."

"According to this effect, the monster I want to Special Summon is Stardust Dragon, in Attack Position!" (ATK 2500, DEF 2000)

Silver-white stardust scattered wantonly on the high-speed track, and accompanied by the roar of the dragon, Yusei's ace monster Stardust Dragon also appeared on the duel track.

"Tsk~! I didn't even make the right choice with a 50-50 chance? Yusei, I actually let you Special Summon Stardust Dragon this way. My luck really seems to be bad! But then again, this makes the situation even more obvious. Stardust Dragon's special effect can prevent cards from being destroyed by effects. In this case, the other card in Yusei's backfield must be Scrap Scarecrow!"

Yuxing: “!!!”

Seeing that the card she destroyed was actually a trick, Shizai Qiu couldn't help but shook her head secretly. Especially when she saw Yuxing's face obviously "changed" because of her words, she was even more certain of her guess!

That's right!

Don't forget, Shizayoi Aki still has a turtle beast in his hand, so judging from the situation on the field, the initiative is still firmly in Shizayoi's hands.

"Yusei, I've completely seen through your intentions!" As he spoke, Izayoi Akira displayed the Turtle Beast in his hand again. "Although you summoned Stardust Dragon, you seem to have forgotten that I still have a Turtle Beast in my hand! Next, I'm going to release Stardust Dragon and then special summon Turtle Beast to your field!"

"Heed my call and appear now, Turtle Beast Gamesiel, in Defense Position!" (Attack 2200, Defense 3000)

"Ouch!!!"

He confidently slapped the card in his hand on the duel disk. As the effect was activated, a huge turtle suddenly appeared from the void, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the Stardust Dragon into its stomach in one gulp!

(Bad Turtle Beast: "Burp! I'm full!")

"What? It's a defensive display? What on earth does Aki want to do?"

The defense of the Turtle Beast is 3000 points. This monster that even the Blue-Eyes White Dragon cannot defeat is naturally not a monster that can be easily defeated by the Fragrant Seraph Sweet Marjoram, which has an attack power of only 2200 points.

Because of this, Izayoi Akira's decision to give the turtle beast to him as a defensive gesture naturally aroused Yusei's vigilance.

"SP High Speed ​​Spell - Activate the effect of Angel's Scepter!"

"I can only activate this card's effect when I have 2 or more High Speed ​​Counter Points. I can draw 2 cards and then send 1 card from my hand to the Graveyard."

After sending a red card into the graveyard, Shizayoi Aki raised his hand and pointed to his backcourt.

"Another special effect of the Continuous Trap Card, Moisturizing Wind, is activated!"

"Once per turn, by paying 1000 Life Points, I can add Fragrant Seraph Angelica from my deck to my hand!"

Izayoi Aki LP2500＞1500

After accurately searching for a card, Shizayoi Akira displayed it without any pause.

"The special effects of Fragrant Seraph Angelica Angelica are activated!"

"Discard this card from your hand, then target 1 Fragrance Monster in your Graveyard. You can restore Life Points equal to that monster's ATK. Additionally, this effect can be activated during your opponent's turn."

"According to this effect, I will target the Fragrance Mage Rosemary in the cemetery to restore 1800 health points!"

Izayoi Aki LP1500＞3300

"It's not over yet, the special effect of the trap Kafen Fragrant Healing in the graveyard is activated!"

"While this card is in the Graveyard, you can banish it and activate this effect. I can target 1 Aroma Monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon that Monster. Afterwards, I can recover 500 Life Points. Furthermore, if the monster Special Summoned by this effect leaves the field, it will be banished."

"Using this effect, I will Special Summon Rosemary, the Aroma Mage, from the Graveyard in Attack Position!" (ATK 1800, DEF 700)
