Kisaragi suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. She stumbled, just slightly.
"Kisaragi—are you alright?" Kaiba noticed at once. He moved faster than thought, catching her before she could fall.
"Let's move the duel to tomorrow," Kaiba said, frowning. "You just got back from Duelist Kingdom and you haven't properly rested."
"Yeah, my brother's right," Mokuba chimed in, worry plain on his face.
"No," Kisaragi replied after a brief pause. "This duel shouldn't be delayed. If we postpone it, something might change."
She steadied her breathing. The dizziness faded.
"I'm fine."
With that, she straightened up and headed toward the duel arena.
Kaiba and Mokuba followed behind her, both still looking uneasy.
What's going on…? Kisaragi frowned. It feels like something inside me is trying to fuse with me.
"Host~" A familiar voice rang out in her head.
"System… I almost forgot about you," Kisaragi muttered.
"Host, your bond value with Seto Kaiba has risen too high. The White Dragon spirit inside you is attempting to merge with you."
"What?!" Kisaragi blinked. "So saving Kaiba at Duelist Kingdom actually increases our bond?"
"Yes. Also, the other protagonists have bond values with you as well… but Seto Kaiba's is the highest."
"This is starting to feel like I'm playing a dating sim," Kisaragi sighed—then a bold thought struck her.
"The spirit of the White Dragon is Kisara, right? So does that mean Kisara's personality is going to merge with mine?"
"Yes. However, the dominant personality will still be you, Host. All actions will remain centered on your choices."
"…Fine." Kisaragi exhaled. "I'll take it one step at a time. I just hope I don't get dizzy in the middle of a duel."
At KaibaCorp's duel arena, the Big Five were already waiting.
"Big Five," Kaiba said coolly, "where's the duelist you prepared? Don't tell me the five of you are going to gang up on her."
"President Kaiba, the duelist we prepared is this man~"
A young man with short blond hair stepped forward. He was dressed in a suit, but the street-thug vibe in his bones couldn't be hidden.
"Yo. Long time no see, beautiful lady."
Kisaragi frowned, puzzled.
"Who are you? You know me?"
The young man rolled up his sleeve, revealing a long, narrow scar—like something sharp and metallic had sliced him.
"This scar? Your President Kaiba back there gave it to me."
Kisaragi's eyes narrowed in recognition.
"Oh. You're that—what was it—"
Kaiba looked at him with total disinterest.
"Hey! My name is Yamamoto Ryota!" the young man shouted.
"I don't care who you are," Kisaragi said flatly, turning to the Big Five. "You're really sending a loser I already beat to duel me? Isn't that a little insulting?"
"Sharp mouth. Don't cry when you lose."
Kisaragi and Yamamoto stepped onto the duel platforms.
"Duel!" ×2
Yamamoto Ryota LP: 4000
Kisaragi Aoi LP: 4000
"This time I'm going first!" Yamamoto declared.
"My turn—draw!"
"I'll show you the rare cards the Big Five gave me!"
"I activate the Spell Card Card Destruction! Both players send their entire hands to the Graveyard, then draw the same number of cards!"
Kisaragi's lips curled faintly as she calmly sent her whole hand to the Graveyard.
"Then I'll activate my Graveyard effects," she said.
"What?!"
"I activate Wightprince's effect! When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I send Skull Servant and The Lady in Wight to the Graveyard!"
"Then I activate Wightbaking's effect! When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I add two monsters from my Deck to my hand, then discard one card."
"I add Skull Servant and Wightprincess. Then I discard Skull Servant."
Kisaragi lifted her gaze, expression calm.
"Alright. My effects are resolved. You can continue."
Yamamoto's mouth twitched.
"…What a pain in the ass."
"I Normal Summon Sapphire Dragon!"
Sapphire Dragon (1900/1600)
"Then I activate the Spell Card Dragon's Mirror! I can banish Dragon monsters from my field and Graveyard as Fusion Materials to Fusion Summon a Dragon Fusion Monster!"
"I banish Sapphire Dragon on the field, and four Dragon monsters from my Graveyard!"
Five Dragons as Fusion material… Kisaragi's eyes narrowed. So that means—
"Fusion Summon—come forth, Five-Headed Dragon!"
A massive dragon materialized—five heads, each radiating a different attribute.
Five-Headed Dragon (5000/5000)
"Those damn Big Five…" Kaiba ground out. "They actually handed that monster to a punk like him."
"Brother, is Sister Kisaragi going to be okay?" Mokuba whispered anxiously. "She can only use Level 4 or lower monsters—there's no way she can beat Five-Headed Dragon…"
Nearby, the Big Five all wore delighted smiles.
"It's over! Hahahaha!"
"I set one card face-down. End my turn!"
"This time you're out of moves! Hahahaha!"
Kisaragi's gaze didn't waver.
"Summoning a mere Five-Headed Dragon and getting this smug… you're not much, are you?"
"What?!"
"My turn—draw!"
"I activate Painful Choice! I choose five cards from my Deck: Skull Servant, Wightprince, The Lady in Wight, Wightking, and Wightmare. You pick one to add to my hand—then the rest are sent to the Graveyard."
"They're all weak monsters," Yamamoto scoffed. "Then I choose Skull Servant!"
"Fine." Kisaragi's smile sharpened. "Then I activate Wightprince again, and I add Skull Servant and The Lady in Wight from my Deck to my hand."
"Next, I activate Graceful Charity. I draw three cards, then discard two."
"Now—Wightprincess's effect." Kisaragi sent the card from her hand to the Graveyard. "Your Five-Headed Dragon loses ATK equal to its Level × 300."
"Five-Headed Dragon is Level 12. So it loses 3600 ATK."
Five-Headed Dragon (1400/5000)
"A trash mob has an effect this disgusting?!" Yamamoto stumbled back, shaken.
"I activate Wightprince in the Graveyard once more," Kisaragi said steadily. "I banish two other Skull Servants and this card—then I Special Summon Wightking from my Deck!"
"Come forth—Wightking!"
Wightking (?/0)
"No fixed ATK?"
"Wightking's ATK is Skull Servant count in my Graveyard × 1000," Kisaragi said, voice cool and absolute. "I have eleven Skull Servants in my Graveyard."
"So Wightking's ATK is—"
Wightking (11000/0)
Kaiba's lips curled into a confident smile.
"Hmph. It's over."
