"Cheers!!!"
Youyu, having not visited for a while, pushed open the door and returned to the headquarters of the Nightwalker World. Upon entering, he immediately smelled that ever-present air of untamed freedom and burning excitement, along with seeing those muscle-bound men stretching as far as the eye could see…
Glasses clinked and shouts filled the air. Some of the muscle-bound men were stacked like human towers, with some on top and some below, making for an incredibly eye-watering scene…
Of course, Youyu was already used to this and could even manage to nonchalantly ignore them.
"Youyu!"
The first to notice his entrance was Mr. Kuroda, who was the first to duel with Youyu when he joined the organization.
Since that duel, Mr. Kuroda's status within the organization had skyrocketed, showing signs of becoming the new generation of leadership.
Especially after the all-out war with Doma, the name of Nightwalker World had grown increasingly famous, attracting duelists from all over the Inner World.
Every newcomer joining the organization naturally inquired about the "Legendary Duel King" Youyu. After all, in the Inner World, everyone now knew that Youyu was practically the mascot of Nightwalker World, and many duelists joined just to meet him.
And all newcomers asking for information were almost always told by their seniors that the man who first dueled with Duel King Youyu was that very Kuroda-senpai, who was now on stage wearing nothing but a "man's pride," energetically dancing.
At this point, the newcomers would all stand in awe, even filtering out trivialities like Kuroda-senpai's shameless, shapeless state.
This is much like the so-called "Legendary Duelists" in the GX-era anime. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX animation, we see that the two background characters, the Paradox Brothers, defeated early in the DM series by Muto Yugi, have become "Legendary Duelists."
Presumably, the Paradox Brothers, after their duel with Yugi in Duelist Kingdom, went around boasting about having faced Duel King Muto Yugi. The story spread far and wide, getting exaggerated along the way, making these two nobodies into "Legendary Duelists."
It somewhat resembles the way Kakuzu, from a village over 800 miles away, once threw a shuriken at the First Hokage and spent centuries boasting about it.
Sure enough, just as Mr. Kuroda enthusiastically greeted Youyu and jumped off the stage, it seemed he had been doing a striptease again…
Amusingly enough, the first time he performed was as a penalty from Darkness Game. But as the saying goes, "there's only zero or countless times," and over time, Mr. Kuroda seemed to have gotten addicted. Every time Youyu visited, it seemed he often found Kuroda passionately dancing…
Now, Mr. Kuroda didn't even feel embarrassed anymore; he was rather proud of it.
He now liked to emphasize to newcomers that the striptease was his penalty for losing to Youyu. According to Mr. Kuroda's recount, that duel was truly earth-shattering, with the Duel King's trump cards all played. Ultimately, he lost wholeheartedly, and the striptease was something he performed willingly.
As a result, the newcomers not only didn't find his passionate dance embarrassing but would also cheer him on, shouting, "Kuroda-san, you're amazing!"
Youyu glanced around at the boisterous gathering, somewhat helpless, "Are we celebrating again today?"
He was already used to this. The celebrations of the Nightwalker heavies were almost as frequent as sales on the Steam gaming platform—they always found a reason to celebrate.
Mr. Kuroda scratched his large head, chuckling, "Yeah, we're celebrating your KC Cup victory. We decided to have a good drink to celebrate.
Oh, right, that Zainaniao guy is getting a promotion too. Let me tell you, that Zainaniao is truly impressive, great in every aspect..."
"Oh?" Youyu said curiously, "The President is promoting him?"
"Yeah, he's rising really fast. If he keeps it up, it's not impossible for him to succeed as the next President…" Mr. Kuroda said with a hearty smile, "Of course, that's if you're not interested in the position yourself.
Hey, if Youyu, you're interested in the President's position, President Mukuro could give it to you right now…"
"I'll pass." Youyu waved his hand.
After all, he was quite busy and didn't have the time to handle all the organization's affairs. Especially since the Nightwalker World's scale was growing, which would require even more energy.
He looked around, "I'm here for Quine today… Where is she?"
"Oh, that vampire? Over there, drinking." Mr. Kuroda pointed to a corner.
Youyu followed that direction and indeed found the impressively dressed Quine… amidst a group of muscle-bound men.
Two muscular men were hunched over, grasping each other's shoulders to form a human arch bridge, and Quine was standing on their backs, stylishly tossing away her last piece of clothing except for her bra with her left hand, and holding an almost empty bottle in her other hand…
"Youyu-san!"
Someone led a cheer. Upon seeing Youyu, Quine's smile froze, and she swiftly jumped off the backs of the two strongmen, standing at attention before Youyu, her head hung low with an obedient expression.
"I've moved to a new residence, but the place is too big and needs managing," Youyu said.
Quine's eyes lit up.
Finally, Youyu remembered me!
"Here's the address." Youyu provided the address of his current residence, "Get there before evening."
"Yes, Master!"
At long last, the chance to serve her Master had arrived!
She rushed to Youyu's mansion well before the designated time.
As mentioned before, Youyu's mansion was vast and needed someone to manage daily. He had long thought of placing Quine here as a maid.
Since she would be a maid, a uniform was certainly necessary.
Luckily, the Dream Card Shop had no shortage of such items. Possibly due to the shop owner's peculiar personal taste, the warehouse in the back was filled with all sorts of butler and maid outfits.
Youyu casually brought one back.
He might have overlooked a small issue.
The maid outfit may have been, possibly, designed according to Chinai's size and build.
This led to some foreseeable issues…
Quine took the maid outfit to the restroom for quite a while, and when she finally came out, the whole uniform was tightly stretched (especially around the chest), looking like it was about to burst at the seams.
She had an innocent expression, "Youyu-sama, this outfit… is a little too small..."
Youyu: "..."
He thought, perhaps it's best not to let Chinai see her for now.
Otherwise, Chinai might faint again...
