There is a famous dilemma in this world.
A dilemma created by ‘proliferating bugs.’
This phenomenon occurs when the opponent activates ‘Proliferating Bug’ while trying to deploy on your turn.
If ‘Proliferating Bug’ passes, each time you summon a monster, your opponent will draw.
If you stop developing and hang up because you don’t want to give your opponent a card, you won’t be able to build a strong wall and it will break through in the next turn.
However, when the game is deployed, there are cases where the drawn pat trap gets blocked in the middle.
Even if you were lucky and succeeded in developing the game to the end, there was a high possibility that your hand would be penetrated by a strangely large number of opponents.
If I didn’t deploy, I was afraid that I would die the next turn, and if I did deploy, I was scared of that too.
That is the dilemma of proliferation.
‘The proliferating bug caused suffering to many duelists.’
In fact, when I fought the war demon leader, I neutralized it with proliferating bugs.
The influence of one card was incredibly large.
But that didn’t mean there were no counters at all.
Among them, the representative card was ‘Refreshing Spring’ by a strange girl.
Patrap can block any effect that takes a card from the deck.
It is the card with the highest dignity and the most wanted to kill.
It is an essential card as it is a card that is added three times to the deck along with the proliferating bug…….
[Refreshing Spring: 50.000.000 DP]
It was half the price of the original ticket to return to the world.
I could live now, but I had to live penniless for the time being.
But it was said that if you defeat the devil, you can get fresh spring for free.
Is there a duelist who can remain silent even after hearing that news?
Not by my standards.
‘How can I resist the refreshing spring!’
It was shameless, but I decided to join Ameria and the others to subdue the Demon King.
It is possible to catch them just by taking my group with them, but their experience of having already entered the Demon King’s Castle will be helpful.
Instead of using Ameria, you can give them all the treasures except honor and 1 card.
Because the only card I need is ‘Refreshing Spring’.
“Really! Are you really with us?”
“Okay. “After consulting with my colleagues, I came to the conclusion that it would be okay for us to subdue the demon lord together.”
“Of course, you are always welcome… !”
“Wait.”
Varian blocks Ameria, who welcomes her with open arms.
He stood in front of me and looked down at me. He looked like he was dissatisfied with my decision.
In fact, it is natural for anyone to find it strange if you stubbornly refuse and then suddenly change your mind.
In that sense, Ameria’s reaction is rather abnormal.
“Varian! “What does the brave man mean by offering to be with us?”
“Stay still. “No matter how much you welcome him, I still can’t accept him.”
“Then what if the brave man gets upset!”
“Then it would mean that he is a man with low aspirations. “Am I wrong?”
“That is a fair statement.”
“Well then, I would like you to explain why you, who were reluctant to join us until now, are now willing to help us.”

It is difficult to tell a lie in front of a warrior who seems to have gone through all the hardships.
It is better to be honest but hide information about your goals.
“I heard that the card I wanted was in the Demon King’s Castle. I’m going to save it. “As long as you get one card, you can take everything else with you.”
“What card do you want?”
“I don’t think there is any obligation to tell you that.”
“Is it possible that we might take it without knowing anything?”
“At that point, just take it away and that’s it.”
“Are you confident?”
“If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have said something like this.”
I faced Varian’s intense glare without avoiding it.
If I lose in a battle of momentum, not only can I not gain anything, but I, who think I am stronger than him, have no reason to back down.
For about three minutes, Varian and I glared at each other without saying a word.
Even though the tension continued, in the end it was Varian who backed down first.
“Good. Let’s not get too involved. If you get the cards first, the rest of the loot is ours. “There are no objections to that, right?”
“No.”
With some kind of oral contract without a memorandum established, I returned to my original position.
It seemed like Ameria wanted to talk more with me, but she did her best to ignore it.
Anyway, there was no need for us to give up our affection for the interests of using each other.
“Did you end the story on a good note?”
“Yes. “It ended without a problem.”
“I’m glad. “When I saw that bastard threatening my master, I had the urge to beat him down.”
“Don’t do that. “He was just trying to confirm my true intentions.”
“I understand.”
I didn’t want to cause unnecessary conflict.
There is already a mountain of work to be done. If you fight with forces that you can get along with, the number of things you have to deal with increases.
I did not want to be left behind due to overwork, so I plan to maintain as friendly a relationship as possible with them.
“We have completely lost, so let’s sleep now. “I’m planning to wake up early tomorrow and go to the Demon King’s castle.”
“The tent and sleeping bag have already been set up, so all you have to do is go in and sleep comfortably!”
“Then I will consult with those people and stay on guard. “I hope you have a restful night.”
“Huh? Then I also have to be on alert…….”
“It’s okay. Agent, don’t you have an important task to attack the Demon King’s Castle tomorrow? “Me, Finesse, and the three people over there will take turns keeping watch.”
Finess seemed to agree with Artea’s words as he quietly lifted my body and brought me into the tent.
And then he even carried it into the sleeping bag with his own hands.
What can I say? For a moment, I felt like I was a baby.
“Leave the rest to me and Artea, Master, please rest well!. “Did you know?”
“Okay… ….”
“Then have a good night!”
Finesse closes the entrance and leaves the tent.
When I was about to close my eyes. The sound of Varian and Artea arguing was heard outside.
Is this okay?
The first night of the journey passed with a worried heart.

“Hero! Brave man! “Are you awake?”
“Ugh… ?”
“The sun has risen! “Get up now!”
The door opened and morning sunlight entered the tent.
In the only shadowed gap, Ameria was peeking out, sticking her head out.
It seems that Ameria was the last person on the watch.
Morning has already come.
“The hero said he would leave early in the morning, so I woke him up, but should we leave a little later?”
“No. “Let’s go early.”
As I crawled out of the sleeping bag, I rubbed my eyes and removed my eye sockets.
I tried to stretch out, shake off the remaining desire to sleep, and prepare to leave for the Demon King’s Castle… But…….
“Good morning, Agent.”
“… Yes.”
Others had gotten up and finished before me.
Finesse even appeared and cleaned up the tent I had been lying in just a moment ago.
‘Are we all too sincere? Or was it something I did wrong?’
I started to worry deeply about my future.
Anyway, we completed all preparations for the trip, so we left the base without delay.
“There is a place you must pass through to get to the Demon King’s Castle from your current location.”
“Where are you?”
“Depth of the forest where we are currently. “It’s a forest where dazzling insects live!”
“If it’s a deceiver… ….”
A theme with the setting that beautiful insect girls lure people and eat them.
In Duel, it was a deck that mainly used traps.
Many people avoid insects, but because their appearance is close to that of a beautiful girl, they are loved as the most popular among minor themes.
“It would be dangerous if we lost.”
“Don’t worry! “Because we have a way to safely pass through the forest!”
“What is that?”
“It’s a bug avoidance spray!”
“…… “An insect repellent spray.”
I thought it would be solved by using cards, but the genre suddenly changed to Pokemon.
“It sounds like a spray, but it’s actually a perfume that insect monsters hate and avoid! If you spray this on your body… ! What?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Well, I guess that’s because I used up all the insect avoidance spray… !”
Ameria took out a clear spray bottle from her bag and showed it.
A very small amount of liquid remained inside the container, but other than that, it was empty.
“I’m sorry to the hero, but first, go back to the village and refill the spray… ….”
“No. That’s why it’s a waste of time. “Let’s continue like this until the Demon King’s Castle.”
“Then what do you plan on doing?”
“I guess I’ll just have to beat them all with a duel.”
“The dazzler is not such an easy opponent! “If you underestimate it, you might get seriously hurt!”
Varian got angry and fiercely refuted my decision.
It was an extremely normal reaction.
Deception is not a high-performance theme, but it is still a difficult opponent to beat if you have a solid operating system.
If you are careless, you may miss the goal.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t win.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t accept any objections.”
“You guy… ! “Are you sane?”
“Am I sane?”
I open the menu and nullify all trap effects, trap cards cannot be activated, the Marham Zone is destroyed, etc.
Three of various types of trap disruption cards were placed in the deck.
“Of course.”
Raising the corners of his mouth evilly, Varian winced and took a few steps back.
I am the perfect realist!
We’re going to meet Traptrix
