Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 577

Chương 577: Chapter 577: Trusted Lieutenant

[Incoming call: Mokuba.]

Kira glanced at the caller ID, thought a moment, and answered.

"Yo? Mokuba?"

"Yeah."

Mokuba was at his office computer, fingers flying.

"You busy right now?"

"Not really—"

Before Kira could finish, Mokuba heard a strange shout over the line: "Activate trap: Sakuretsu Armor! Destroy the attacking monster upon attack declaration!" 1

Then Kira's lazy voice:

"Then counter trap: Seven Tools of the Bandit. Pay 1000 Life Points to negate the trap and destroy it." 1

Opponent: "Nani!?"

"Therefore, Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow's direct attack continues."

"Aaargh—!"

Mokuba paused.

"You're dueling?"

"Yup," Kira said offhandedly. "Dark Duel—dealing with a trash duelist… but it's fine, he's weak, no problem. Say what you need."

"Uh, is that really okay—"

Even Mokuba was at a loss.

Taking a call during a duel is rare enough, but during a life-or-death Dark Duel… unheard of.

It could only be said that Kira transcended common sense in all respects.

Mokuba: "If the timing's bad, I can call later—"

"No, it's fine. You called at just the right time. I'm about to wrap up—give me thirty seconds."

Kira said casually.

"Chick's effect: upon dealing battle damage, return the continuous trap Call of the Haunted on the field to the hand."

"…"

Half a minute later, just from the sounds alone, Mokuba had started to mourn the nameless opponent.

He didn't know who it was, but clearly a man with a mountain of sins. Without that, he wouldn't have run into Kira the demon and suffered this torture…

"Alright, I'm done here," Kira said. "What's up?"

"Oh, nothing big. About you making an appearance at the opening ceremony—we need to nail down details, like your exact time slot, the theme of your remarks, whether you'll go on stage normally or air-drop in with my brother…"

Air-drop? Like the president descending from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon jet? 4

Kira considered.

In the past he might have thought that was too much fuss. Now he felt… why not?

"Give me a bit. I'll head over once I finish here."

"Okay."

They hung up.

Kira ended the call, then strolled over to the Soul Eater, who was barely clinging to life.

Soul Eater strained to lift his head. The man's face was half-swallowed in shadow, and for a moment he looked like the reaper come to claim his soul.
