3rd POV:
"So can you tell me what happened between you two?" Nistro look speechless at Ryuji, specifically at Dextra who was wrapping her arms and legs around him like an octopus. She buried her head in his chest and cling tightly despite how hard Kari try to pull her out.
Ryuji can feel the look of the people around are looking at him weirdly and cover his face in shame. "It's just a little misunderstood..."
Nistro roll his eyes uninterested and pull Yuma, who was taking the job as cameraman on Kari's order, to another side of the area for better view.
Right now Ryuji is alone with three girls, he can only look helplessly as Nistro and Yuma figure keep getting smaller and soon disappear from his sight.
"Sign... Dextra, can you please let go of me? It's getting really awkward, everyone is looking." With no choice left, Ryuji can only please his jealous friend.
"Hmph! Not until you explain what's your relationship with her!" She still stubbornly clings to him. 'Even I, his childhood friend, didn't dare to kiss him in public like that but a random girl I don't even know can. What a shameless person!'
The tone of her voice and her thought can be described with one word 'Jealously'. Then suddenly, Ryuji feel both of his arms getting wrap by something soft, actually he only feels that on the left side, as for the right side he only knows someone just hug him.
On the left, Kati was traping his hand between her boobs, she lifts her face to meet his and ask with a bit jealously. "May I ask who is the 'her' Dextra was talking about?" Ryuji can see clearly that on his right, Tori also hugs his arm tightly while looking up at him, waiting for his answer.
"... The duel just now took me a lot of energy to complete so may I take a rest?" Not waiting for the girls to answer, Ryuji directly laid his head on Kari shouder and close his eyes, ignore the girls call for him.
Seeing his still pretend to be asleep, Dextra let out a 'hmph' and get off him. The three girls continue to watch the tournament while Ryuji quietly let out a sign of relief. 'Successfully dodging a Shura field!'
________________________________________
'So... Why did it turn into this? I just want a peaceful lunch.' Ryuji continuously take a bite of his sandwiches, not daring to lift his head.
In the cafeteria, the atmosphere is heavy, so silence one can hear the beating of their own heart.
The reason for this tension in the air is because three girls sitting beside Ryuji at the table. Dextra and Kari sit on each side of his while in the opposite, a girl with half white half black hair was sitting there.
"Hmm? Why aren't you two eat, the food gonna get cold." Riko then took a spoon of her curry rice.
See notice Ryuji stressful face and with a smirk on her face, she takes a spoon of curry and raise it towards him. "Eating sandwich alone won't give you enough nutrition to grow big, take a bite of my curry, it tastes very good."
Ryuji look at her with disbelief. 'This b-tch want to get me killed or something!?'
*Bam* X2
Both Dextra and Kari slam the table hard with their hands. Riko look at them, the smirk on her face getting widen. "Hmm? Did you two have any objections?"
Kari response with a fake smile on her face. "How could I have any objections with that? It's just that our Ryuji here is a fastidious, he definitely didn't like to take a bite from a used spoon."
Kari pressed the word 'our' heavily. Dextra slightly raise her eyebrows at Kari world but say nothing.
"Ahh~ How sad, I guess he didn't get to taste my curry then." Dextra and Kari are slightly at ease since Riko seem to decide to drop the idea. Or they think so.
Riko suddenly pull out a one-time use plastic spoon from her pocket, it covers is still on. "Luckily, I'm a considerate girl who always prepare for everything, I have taken an extra spoon from the chef."
Under the two girls darken face, Riko unwrap the spoon, take a spoon of curry and bought it close to Ryuji mouth under his horror eyes. "Ahhh~"
As Riko move her arm across the table and held the spoon close to Ryuji mouth, she suddenly feels her wrist was held tightly in place. "Hmm? What the matter this time?" She asks Dextra who was grab her wrist, her voice contain a bit annoyed but the smile in her eyes can't be hidden.
"... He doesn't like curry." Dextra say quietly, from her tone, Riko can feel the coldness and jealously.
Riko look at Ryuji calmly, he looks at her with please in his eyes begging her to shut up. The smirk on her face got widen and she opens her mouth. "Is it true Ryuji-kun? Did you really don't like curry?"
It's just a simple question but Ryuji feel like it's a choice between life and death. The eyes of three girls glue to his body.
On the table next to them, Nistro was recorded the screen with his phone. He turns his head to the two little boy beside him and say with satisfied. "See kid? This is the outcome of a playboy. Remember, always loyal to your deck, in this world duel is everything."
The two boys nod seriously, their look at each other. Although their just coincidence meets each other, but they feel like they meet their long-lost friend.
Right now, both of them recognize themselves as brother with Nistro as their older brother. Nistro wrap his hand around their neck and declare excitedly. "Although he may be stronger now, but if he continues to be immersed in lust like this then we will grow stronger than him in no time!"
Nistro raise his glass of water high and the other two did the same. Yuma and the blue hair boy beside him look at each other with determine.
On the opposite side of the table, the blue hair girl looks at her brother with disbelief. She whispered silently to Tori. "Don't they just meet 30 minutes ago? Can boys go from stranger to brother with a single lunch."
It was bewildered; they just go watch a tournament and her brother already make two more brother.
How did it happen? 5 steps to how we make new friends:
First, they go watch tournament
-> We hungry so our parents take us to the cafeteria
-> We see the group of that Ryuji duelist, so I ask to go there and say hello
-> My brother makes eyes contact with Yuma and their stare at each other for several minutes before it end with they asking each other with the same question: "Did you like to duel?" A dump question honestly, who don't like duel?
-> Finally, our parents dump us there with them so we can make new friends
(People live in Yu-Gi-Oh world are gullible, even villain. If not, then there's no reasonable reason why Yugi easily handed over his card to Weevil.)
"Y-Yeah I guess so..." Tori answer but the girl notices her distraction. She looks at the same direction to see Ryuji sitting between three girls.
"What are they doing?" The girl ask innocently.
"I don't know." Tori answers back, although she doesn't know why but her heart is beating very fast right now, it's very uncomfortable.
What everyone didn't realize was behind Tori, a transparent figure silently appears. She looks at Ryuji with longing. 'I must quickly repair Tori soul soon so I can reunite with master. Damn it! What was sister Touka thinking!? Create me with Tori soul? Now I have to repair her soul with master power first or she died instantly when I leave.'
'Sign... I hope there's still place for me when I was able to separate from Tori.' Tomoe was envying the girls for able to interact with her master. Carry her resolved, she returns back to the depth of Tori's soul.

Soon, the lunch time end and the top 8 battle of the tournament start. The blue hair siblings said goodbye to everyone before going back to their seat with their parents.
Yuma wave his hand at his newly made friend. "Goodbye Reginald!"
"Meet you later!" Reginald drags his sister Rio away while bid farewell to other. Rio also wave her hands back at them.
Ryuji watch the siblings go away with a thoughtful look on his face. 'Now thinking about it, doesn't I basically turn almost every enemy of Yuma in the early state of the anime into his friends? He now has brothers' relationship with Nistra, half student too since Nistra has been teaching him how to duel when he learns Yuma want to use warrior deck and now have Excalibur in his hand.'
'He and Dextra have neutral relationship but lean toward good side, even Reginald who was support to be his first official enemy and the leader of Barian now develop a relationship with him early.'
'I may have to ask Mr.Heartland to keep an eye on them since if I remember correctly, their entire family die later on in a car accident, I wonder if Nash and Marin still get reincarnated in their body if they don't die.'
Shaking the thought out of his head, Ryuji scan the duel order to find his next match. 'Third match?'
Riko stand next to him and nod satisfied. "First match, luckily I don't have to duel with Ryuji yet, I want our battle to be the final. Well then, I will go prepare first, don't lose, okay?"
"How can I ever lose to some no name character, even if I have to duel 5 persons at the same time I will still win." Ryuji say with confidence as Riko smile get brighter.
"Then I will wait for you at the final." She say and walk towards the duel field.
Ryuji watch her retreating figure and go back to the waiting area. Then a devil face appear beside him.
"I like her."
Ryuji: "Why?"
"She is a battle maniac who only want to get along with the strong, unfearing of hardship. A person like that destination to be great one. I approve your relationship with her, she won't hold you back, that girl Dextra also have potential."
Ryuji: "...Demise, why the fuck did you talk like a father since you learn how to talk?"
"... I'm a king and you are the prince so I can be considered to be your father."
Ryuji: "... Since when I became a prince?"
"Because those girl simp for you at the school call you prince of their life. You want to be a princess instead?"
Ryuji: "..."
"...?"
Ryuji: "You know what? Call me whatever you want. But quit the father tone, it's uncomfortable."
"You know? In the future, if you gather me enough duel energy, I can create a new Ruin spirit. And that make me her creator or father, so..."
Ryuji: "Father-in-law please forgive my rudeness just now!"
"Don't call me father, just leave me use this tone, if you call me father and I call you master, that will be very weird. As long as you see me as a father that's enough."
