Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 378: Reggie Mackenzie (Bonus)

"Ahhh, I lost."

Jaden sprawled flat on his back.

"No helping it, Mr. Hibiki is really strong after all."

Hibiki walked over, sat down beside him with a smile.

"I’m the one who was surprised, actually. Jaden, you’re really impressive. I never expected to meet another duelist so deeply bonded with heroes and so passionate about dueling.

Honestly, even I feel a bit inferior."

"Haha, people say that to me a lot," Jaden scratched his head, but then remembered something.

"By the way, Mr. Hibiki, during the duel earlier—did you feel a bit unwell?"

Hibiki fell silent, looking away.

He heard, like a hallucination, a devilish whisper by his ear.

"Duel on, and burn up the little life you have left, World Champion Koyo Hibiki."

From deep darkness, a pair of evil eyes stared at him, grinning.

"Each card you draw is like your deck called ’Life’ growing smaller."

"But even so, you can’t stop, can you?"

"As a duelist."

"..."

Hibiki closed his eyes.

"Mr. Hibiki?"

Jaden sat up, looking worried. Hibiki snapped back to himself.

"Sorry, I’m fine."

He quietly took out his glasses from his inner pocket, put them on, then reached out and gently patted Jaden’s shoulder.

"That was a fun duel, thank you, Jaden. I’m really glad someone like you was my opponent in this final stage."

"I’m happy to have met you too, Mr. Hibiki," Jaden said, puzzled. "But what did you mean by ’final stage’?"

Hibiki just smiled and didn’t answer.

"In the future, you’ll surely become a top duelist. So remember this," he said earnestly, "whoever your opponent is, never forget how you feel today.

Enjoy dueling, and let dueling bring you happiness. Be that kind of duelist."

"Okay!"

Jaden nodded, though to him, it seemed obvious.

Isn’t dueling the most fun thing in the world?

"Alright then."

Hibiki perked up and stood.

"Now that it’s over, I’m a bit hungry. How about you, Jaden?"

"Now that you mention it, I am a little..."

"The other qualifiers aren’t all here yet. Let’s go grab something to eat while we wait."

The first players who completed the puzzle cards and arrived had already registered and made the top eight. There was no need to stand around waiting.

"Yay! Food!" Jaden was excited.

Dueling and eating—probably the two greatest joys in his life at the moment.

"What do you want to eat? My treat."

"Eh, isn’t that not right?"

"It’s fine, don’t worry about it." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
