Unlikely Heroine (Volume 2) ― Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

act 7 - incredulous

(Reader)'s neutral gaze brightened to a friendly one. She waved at him and spoke casually, "Hey, random stranger. What's your name?"

That left her friends dumbfounded. Jin deadpanned in his mind, 'That's what you wanted to say to him?!'

"That's the King, Seki-chan!" Yanagi exclaimed.

"Oh. Right," (Reader) recognized; then, she dismissed him, "Well then, carry on what you're doing."

'That woman. She's the death of every man she encounters,' her broker friend mentally commented.

Jack was a little offended, yet he didn't bother to care about (Reader)'s remark. She wasn't the person he wished to talk to.

Once the two male rivals glared at each other again, Yusei confronted, "What do you want?"

His blond rival pulled out a card from his person. He turned the card, displaying the card's true face. The card had a picture of a white and cyan dragon.

A shook Yusei gasped at the card.

"Is that the dragon?" Yanagi blurted out.

(Reader) looked over at the protagonist's shoulder and peered at the card's name; she read out loud, "Stardust Dragon."

"I heard you're entering at the Fortune Cup," Jack told his blue-eyed rival.

The latter asked, "How did you know?"

"That doesn't matter. I came to give this back to you," the King's simple answer didn't convince Yusei. (Reader) knew why, but she chose to say nothing.

Jack added, "It makes sense for you to use Stardust. Use it so that we can settle things from that night."

As much as Yusei wanted to have the Stardust Dragon card back, he has something else in mind. He assumed, "So you were the one who sold out Rally and my friends."
