034. True Evil
After the duel, everything went smoothly.
First, the executioner who tried to sacrifice the lives of Lilith and the apostles for revenge was restrained with Oriha’s magic tool.
I was worried that he might resist during the restraint process, but fortunately, all the laws of this world are determined by Duel, so that didn’t happen.
Just as the executioner won the duel and tried to take my life, I also gain the corresponding power.
In other words, if I tell the executioner to commit suicide, he, the loser, has no choice but to carry out the order and commit suicide.
However, since I had no intention of taking the executioner’s life, I ordered him to turn himself in and pay the penalty.
[This saves me]
[If it were me, I would have killed him out of fear of the aftermath]
[The expression on his face during NTR was evil itself, but when I looked at it, he said, ‘You’re a softie, you’re a softie.’
[I think I have a great mindset! Owner!]
“The duel is over, but aren’t you guys going back?”
[Nogari time after the duel is fun]
[ㄹㅇㅋ]
[Because it is difficult to communicate during a duel, most duelists mainly communicate with us right after the duel ends]
[There are some duelists who immediately turn off the broadcast, but it would be better for you to communicate as much as possible.]
“Why?”
[‘Immortal Hero’ donated 30000 DP!]
[You can receive support from us this way]
It meant so-called collection time.
Time is divided into various groups of viewers depending on the content of the duel.
If it was a disappointing duel, you would hear advice from viewers, and if it was a good duel, you would receive sponsorship.
Viewers taught me a lot as it was my first time broadcasting in this world.
“Thank you for letting us know one by one. But I’ll end the broadcast here.”
[What are you going to do already?]
[Are you not planning on receiving sponsorship?]
“I would like to receive sponsorship, but unfortunately, there are people I need to pay more attention to than broadcasting right now.”
I turned my head and glanced at the girl who was hesitating at a distance.
The urgent priority was to reassure the woman who was kidnapped by her executor and was in danger of death.
More than anything, DP can be collected at any time.
[I can’t help it]
[Bye~!]
[It’s been a while since I watched a fun duel]
Viewers leaving one by one.
Soon, a message from a viewer who remained until the very end just before the indulgence appeared in the chat window.
[Thank you so much. As promised, I will transfer ownership of the card you borrowed from me to you. Please use it usefully]
I could know the identity of the last remaining viewer without even trying to find out.
The Douokushini that I used in this duel was a card I received from her.
Monsters from the Predation series, including the Duoksini, are so ridiculously expensive that you can’t even afford them.
In the meantime, I noticed that Miner had a card with a double coin and quickly borrowed it.
And finally, having successfully completed the request, I became the new owner of Duoksini.
I’m looking forward to the future when I can swallow up the opponent’s key cards and summon Duoukshini.
“S, Master…” !”
“You were very surprised, weren’t you?”
“Ah… yes.”
“It’s okay now! As you probably know because you were watching, I defeated the executioner. So now there will be no one threatening you.”
She smiled brightly and said that it was okay to be at ease, but for some reason, Lilith’s expression was infinitely dark.
Is there still someone who makes Lilith uneasy?
When she tried to meet Lilith’s eyes out of concern, the girl quickly avoided her gaze.
There may be other circumstances that prevent you from telling me.
I tried to talk to Lilith face to face, but she turned her head away every time.
I thought I couldn’t go any further, so I pressed Lilith’s soft cheeks with both hands and made her look straight ahead at me.
Then I saw the face of a girl who was on the verge of crying with tears forming around her eyes.
“Ugh… ! Ugh… Ugh! “S-sorry!!”
Lilith finally burst out in tears that she had been holding back in front of me.
The girl cried and apologized to me again and again.
“Why are you apologizing?”
“Because of me, Master… ! “I almost died!!”
“Why is it because of you?”
“Because I was kidnapped! Ugh… ! Master was trying to save me… !!”
“You’re stupid. “I am alive and well without any injuries.”
But even if I say this, Lilith will never be convinced.
It’s a consequential story, but if I had lost, I would definitely have died.
In the end, Lilith will think that she put me in danger.
“Lilith.”
“Ugh… !!”
“Lilith.”
“Yes….”
“Do you know what a duelist should consider most important?”
“… ….”
Lilith didn’t say anything.
It was a natural reaction.
Her bond with her cards, her belief in her own deck, the endless use of cards, and so on. Although she taught me the essential virtues of a duelist, she never taught me what I should value.
She had been waiting to teach me someday, and now seems to be just the right time.
“The most important thing for a duelist is ‘fun.'”
“Fun… yo. This?”
“Yes, if you go back in history to find out why Duel came into existence, what comes out is fun.”
Duel is a word derived from a card game.
Games were originally entertainment and entertainment that existed for people to have fun.
A game is a play that exists solely to pursue fun.
As time went by, there were people who risked their lives on games, but if you think about it, those people were willing to risk their lives because games were fun.
If the game wasn’t fun, would you have taken it seriously, let alone lost your life?
At least I don’t think so.
Because it was fun and rewarding when I won, I was able to become sincere about the game.
I think the same goes for duals.
Of course, in this world, all disputes are decided by duels, so there will be many people who view duels as a means rather than a game.
But we must never forget. The root of Duel is that it is a card game for everyone to have fun.
“There is no value in a dull duel. Sometimes the process and results may be painful, but the more they are, the more you should enjoy them. “Only then can you overcome suffering and become sincere in dueling!”
“So Master, were you enjoying the duel just now?”
“Of course! There were times when I felt resentful, but I never once thought it was boring. The crisis actually fueled the spirit of victory. “I was always looking for an opportunity to give my opponent a good blow no matter what.”
If I had simply pursued victory, I would not have used the NTR deck.
There are many decks with stronger power than NTR decks.
However, I took the trouble to choose the NTR deck.
As a duelist who pursues fun, I wanted to have fun while intuiting the other person’s anger.
“I won’t tell you not to focus on winning or losing.”
There are some people who consider winning to be the only fun part of dueling.
“But don’t forget the fundamentals of dueling. “
There is no need to go through the trouble of dueling when it is not fun.
If dueling isn’t fun, find another interesting hobby and pursue that path.
As I added those words, I patted Lilith’s head.
“Anyway, it’s not your fault that I dueled with the Executor, I just did it for my own enjoyment. Don’t blame yourself, okay?”
“…Yes.”
Lilith stopped crying before I knew it and looked at me intently.
When Lee Chae looked at the girl’s young eyes, it seemed like there was no need to worry anymore.
“Then shall we go home now?”
“Yes!!”

After finishing my story with Lilith on a warm note, I was about to leave her room of consciousness.
Suddenly, someone was coming down the stairs.
Soon, the person who appeared at the entrance was someone I knew.
“Finesse?”
“Master! Congratulations on your victory!”
“Thank you. And I’m sorry for not being able to use you in this duel. “You probably wanted to punch the bailiff too.”
“It’s okay! I couldn’t tell my master about it, but before the duel started, I felt intuitively that I wouldn’t have anything to do with it! So I put my alter ego in the extra deck and have been acting separately ever since!”
“Huh? “Did you?”
“Yes! Thanks to that, I was able to move around freely.”
“I see. So what have you been doing up until now?”
“They were planting a bomb!”
“…… ?”
I must have heard wrong, right?
My pupils were shaking back and forth and out of focus.
“What did you do?”
“Place a bomb! “I kept this card posted all over the upper floors of this building!”
Finesse proudly shows something.
In her hand was the continuous trap card ‘Tactical Bomb C4’.
[Tactical Bomb C4]
Persistent Trap
After activating this card, during your second standby phase, send this card to the graveyard and destroy all cards on the field.
‘Crazy… !!’
A powerful destructive effect card that gives the opponent plenty of room to respond, but if it is not blocked, the entire field will be blown away.
But you put these cards on buildings?
“Uh, why did you do that… ?”
“I believed that wouldn’t happen, but just in case my master was defeated, I tried to blow up the building and run away with my master and Miss Lilith!”
“Are you preparing for an emergency?”
“That’s right!”
Regardless of whether I won or lost, there was no possibility of my death from the beginning.
I never thought they would have prepared insurance in advance on my behalf.
The finesse looked outstanding.
“Then since I won, the bomb won’t explode.”
“No. “The bomb is going to explode right away?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“Master declared war against the apostles in the underground cave. So I came up with a plan to rescue my master and eliminate all the apostles at the same time, and put it into action! “I did well, right?”
“I said, let’s fight only the executioner… ?”
“Oh my.”
It was then.
A huge explosion echoing from above.
After the time limit expired, C4 exploded in succession, creating large-scale shaking.
Fortunately, we were located a long way down from the underground confessional, so we were not swept away by the explosion…….
Terrorism was added to the list of crimes on our wanted list, and we became the apostles’ bitter enemies.
