"Ugh, this is so embarrassing!!"
Amber sprawled out on the sofa, looking like she had lost the will to live.
The reward was undeniably useful.
It allowed her to fly—something incredibly handy for her.
But... the method to activate it was just too damn chuunibyou.
"Maybe I should only unseal it when no one's around?"
Amber thought to herself.
"What kind of line do you have to say? Why do you look so depressed?"
Eula looked over at Amber, puzzled.
Hadn't Boss Han said it could help her fly?
"Wanna try it out?"
Barbara asked hopefully.
"Ahem... better wait until you get your reward first."
Amber rubbed her nose sheepishly.
Forget it. She'd come to terms with it.
The more she used it, the more likely someone would catch her doing it eventually.
So she might as well face it head-on from the start.
"I've finished reading Yu-Gi-Oh! too."
Eula closed the manga she was holding.
She had come in with Amber,
So naturally, she finished around the same time.
"Was it any good?"
Barbara asked curiously.
The title sounded interesting.
She hadn't seen it yesterday, so it must've been a new release.
Too bad she came late today—otherwise, she might've tried reading it herself.
"I thought it was great. The battle scenes were really well done."
Eula gave her honest opinion after a moment of thought.
Though this manga didn't contain anything that could directly improve strength like she initially imagined,
The concept of using cards for battle fascinated her.
It involved duel disks and card decks, used to summon monsters to fight.
There were all sorts of monster cards—
Like Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
There were also different types of spell and trap cards.
Different combinations of cards could form different decks.
It looked like a lot of fun.
For Eula—who had grown up with little in the way of entertainment, focused solely on sword training—
This kind of system held a strong allure.
"Monsters?"
Barbara blinked. "Sounds kinda fun. I'll come check it out tomorrow."
At that moment, the system notification updated again.
[Customer Eula has finished reading Yu-Gi-Oh!, and received a reward—one Duel Disk and one Card Pack.]
[Duel Disk: Insert cards to project monster holograms.]
[Card Pack: Contains 40 random cards.]
"Another combo reward!"
Han Feng wasn't even surprised this time—after all, it had just happened a moment ago.
Guess these two really are besties, huh?
The rewards were similarly structured.
Buzz——
A radiant beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Eula.
When the light faded, everyone's eyes focused on her.
A sleek, blue-and-white Duel Disk was now firmly strapped to Eula's left arm.
"Whoa, what is that? It looks so cool!"
Amber ran over with a look of awe.
"I think... it's a Duel Disk?"
Eula replied with some uncertainty.
It looked just like the ones used by characters in the manga during duels.
"Duel Disk?"
The others, unfamiliar with the manga, looked confused.
"This Duel Disk contains a preset deck of forty cards. Insert a monster card into the slot, and it'll summon a monster projection just like in the game."
Han Feng explained, then added:
"Except it doesn't have actual attack power—
but everything else is exactly the same, maybe even more realistic."
"You can summon monsters?"
Eula's face lit up with surprise.
She wasn't particularly disappointed about the lack of attack power.
If these monsters were actually usable in combat, that would be absurd.
Imagine a world where everyone had a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Stormterror probably wouldn't dare show its face in Mondstadt again.
Heart racing, Eula drew a card.
"Dark Magician Girl?"
She recognized this one—one of Yugi Mutou's signature cards.
"Let's give it a try!"
Under the curious gazes of the others, Eula inserted the card into the Duel Disk.
Whoosh!
A flash of light burst into the manga shop.
A petite girl with an angelic face and magical attire leapt out of the light, holding a wand and giving Eula a playful wink.
"She's way too cute!"
Barbara and Amber practically had hearts in their eyes.
Eula's interest only deepened. She pulled out another card—
This time, it was Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"Your luck's seriously insane!"
Even Han Feng couldn't help but marvel.
A 40-card random draw,
And the first card was Dark Magician Girl,
Now the second one was Blue-Eyes White Dragon?
That luck was off the charts.
"You'll want to test that one outside."
Eula understood it wasn't suitable to try such a massive summon indoors, so she nodded and walked out.
Amber and the others quickly followed her.
Eula took a deep breath, then inserted the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card into the Duel Disk.
A blinding white light erupted.
Two enormous silver-white dragon wings slowly unfurled beneath a radiant holy glow.
ROAR!!!
An earth-shaking dragon's cry echoed across the skies.
Everyone instinctively covered their ears and looked up.
A massive, silver-white dragon hovered high in the air, exuding an overwhelming pressure.
It looked down upon them all, regal and untouchable.
