"She's not Ruri!"
As soon as Yuji landed, he heard this sentence, then witnessed the following scene.
A certain Yuto punched Masumi Kotsu in the abdomen, and Masumi looked at Yuto in disbelief before losing consciousness.
"Did I come at the wrong time?" Yuji couldn't help but say as he watched Yuto capture Masumi and prepare to flee.
"Who?" Yuto was instinctively on guard, but after realizing it was Yuji, he relaxed again.
"Yuji, why are you here?" Yuto asked.
"Of course to bring you two back. Let's go first, this isn't a place to talk." Yuji `said after surveying the surrounding environment.
This was a dock. Yuji knew these two had been causing trouble in the Standard dimension, and the shocked look on the dark-skinned girl nearby was telling. With containers all around, if they got surrounded, there was no escape route except jumping into the sea.
"You're right, this really isn't a place to talk." Yuto, carrying Masumi, nodded while picking up cards from Masumi's deck scattered on the ground from Shun's impact. He said to her: "So, goodbye, and this card will not belong to you."
The card Yuto picked up was the key to Fusion Summoning that Masumi was currently learning—[Polymerization].
"What a pity. I don't want others criticizing the gift I gave." A kid with sky-blue hair said angrily while licking a lollipop.
"In that case, let me teach you how powerful this card is." The kid licked the lollipop provocatively.
"Hey, Sora, don't be like this!" Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly tense, Yuzu couldn't help but stand between them.
"Hey brat, how about letting me learn how powerful the card is?" At that moment, Yuji looked at Sora Shiunin and said word by word.
"Hey, can't you all be more peaceful?" Yuzu said dissatisfied after hearing Yuji's words.
Yuji smiled mysteriously at this, looked at Yuzu and said, "Miss, I suggest you don't get too involved with this guy. I can smell the stench of a fusion dimension dog on him."
"Also, shouldn't you change to a proper duel disk before provoking someone? The duel disks in this dimension can't be used as weapons." Yuji said.
"What did you say? This guy is from the Academy?" After hearing Yuji's words, Yuto, who was about to leave, looked back at Sora.
"Big brother, don't say strange things casually. If you want to fight, I'll oblige." Sora said with an uncertain expression.
"Yuzu!" Just as tensions were rising, an energetic voice came from the distance.
"Yuya?" Yuzu was about to greet him, but as Yuya ran closer, the bracelet on Yuzu's hand lit up with dazzling purple light.
"Great! Sister teleportation activated!" Yuji cursed internally, and in the purple light, Yuto and Shun disappeared.
Looking at the LDS people following the tomato protagonist, Yuji decided his only goal this time in the Standard dimension was to bring Yuto and Shun back, to complete the first phase of the main quest early. He didn't want to play along with Reiji Akaba, the king of chairs and riddler who loved playing guessing games.
"Then, I'll turn you into a card next time we meet, kid from the Fusion dimension." After Yuji finished speaking, he took out a card from his waist pack, slapped it on the duel disk, and activated it.
"Hey! Are you their companion? Who are you guys? What Fusion dimension, what becoming a card—explain clearly!" Yuzu hurriedly shouted in the direction where Yuji left.
A golden light flashed beside Yuji, and [Utopia] appeared in the light. He caught Yuji with his shoulder, then flapped his wings and flew into the distance.
"It's obviously not in an Action Field, so why does his monster have a physical form?" Yuya, who arrived late, looked at Yuji's retreating figure and asked in surprise.
But at the back of the crowd, Sora's face became increasingly gloomy, and the lollipop in his mouth had been crushed at some point.
...
Yuji wandered around Miami City's urban area, trying to find traces of the two brothers who were teleported away, but Miami City was so large that finding them was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Damn Sakaki family, nothing good happens when you're involved." Yuji cursed internally.
"Speaking of which, Yuto must have been following Yuzu during this period?" Yuji suddenly thought of this. "Anyway, let's go to You Show School first."
It was already late at night when Yuji arrived at You Show School. In an alley, he found Yuto sneaking around.
"Busy?" Yuji walked into the alley, suddenly speaking and startling Yuto.
"Who?" Yuto instinctively raised his duel disk, and after seeing Yuji's face clearly, breathed a sigh of relief. "It's you, Yuji."
"Where's Shun? Isn't he with you?" Yuji Itadori asked.
"He left after we teleported." At this point, Yuto's expression became somewhat unnatural, and he lifted the mask on his face as if trying to cover the bruises.
"You two fought?" Yuji teased.
"Nothing. By the way, why did you come here?" Yuto quickly changed the subject.
"Of course to bring you two back. You know, if Kaito and I hadn't provided timely support, Spade would have been wiped out."
"What?" Yuto was startled. "Didn't I ask Makoto to bring the survivors to find you?"
"Do you really think he didn't want to? But not long after you left, Spade's camp was surrounded." Yuji said.
After a moment of silence, Yuto raised his head with difficulty and squeezed out two words: "Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me. Let's find your brother-in-law and go back. We need your strength now."
At the mention of "brother-in-law," Yuto almost blushed and immediately changed the subject: "How's the situation in Heartland now?"
After Yuji told Yuto about Heartland's current situation, Yuto showed a rare smile on his usually stoic face: "So everyone has gathered together? Has there been some success?"
"That's right, so you two need to hurry back with me. With Yasuo still in the hospital, the pressure on Kaito defending alone is too great."
"But... Ruri..." Yuto had a struggling expression on his face.
"Ruri isn't in immediate danger. Do you remember the girl who looks like Ruri today?" Yuji said.
"You mean Yuzu?"
"Besides her, there's a girl who looks similar to Ruri in each of the other two dimensions. Reo Akaba's plan is to collect them all and fuse the four dimensions together. So as long as we don't let him catch the others, Ruri is safe."
