Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1129

Chapter 1129: Chapter 1129: The Director Gets into Character

"Your invitation... I accept," Akiza said.

She now understood the truth.

Sayer was never the person she thought he was. Not from the very beginning. She now knew what she and all her friends at Arcadia meant to him—

They were just pawns—no, less than pawns. They were weapons, expendable ones at that. Sayer would squeeze every ounce of value from them and discard them when they were spent.

Akiza cried all night; her world had collapsed.

But thankfully, just before discovering the truth, her world had already started to change. It no longer revolved solely around Sayer and the Arcadia Movement. That’s why she didn’t break down completely. That’s why she returned, coming once again before Goodwin.

This man, Director Goodwin, made her recall her original path—the one dream she’d thought was lost forever.

Goodwin and the Sector Security could give her that chance—to begin again as a Duelist.

And, from their previous duel, she knew how strong he was—profoundly so. Her intuition told her that if she stayed close to him, she might grow stronger, faster, and learn to master her own abilities.

Yes... For the first time in years, Akiza no longer simply hated her own power. After hearing the words of both Yusei and Goodwin at the Fortune Cup, she had begun to seriously reflect, wondering if she could learn to fully control her power, using it to improve herself.

"Oh? You’ve made up your mind?" Goodwin chuckled. "You don’t hate me anymore?"

Akiza shook her head, hesitated, then whispered, "About what happened before... I’m sorry. I know you’re actually a good person."

"Ahem..." Goodwin coughed.

"I wouldn’t call myself a ’good person’—everyone is just working for their own goals."

After a pause, he continued, "But the reason I held the Fortune Cup was to gather you Signers, to fight the Dark Signers threatening to destroy our world.

Wanting to protect the world—about that, I am sincere."

Akiza nodded, "What do you need me to do?"

"Mainly, fight the Dark Signers," Goodwin replied. "Don’t worry about where they are; each Signer has a fated Dark Signer counterpart. She’ll come for you soon enough.

I’ve already compiled information on your rival Signer. She believes you killed her closest loved one. She’s willing to descend into hell itself for vengeance..."

Akiza was shocked. "I killed her loved one? Who?"

"It wasn’t you—it was Sayer. But Sayer set you up as the scapegoat. The details are complicated, and you’ll get a full dossier for review once you’re back.

But let me warn you: clearing up the misunderstanding with Dark Signers won’t spare you from battle. Their souls are already sold to the evil gods. Even if they lose their own will to fight, the gods won’t allow it. One way or another, you must face them—and win.

I’m giving you this information so you’ll understand your enemy, find an advantage, and not carry unnecessary guilt. All this—knowing the truth—can even shake your opponent in battle.

This isn’t just for yourself; it’s for the whole world. You understand, right?"

Akiza hesitated, bit her lip, and finally nodded.

She then asked, "Is there anything else I should do?"

Though defeating the Dark Signers sounded important, it also felt like her destined mission as a Signer. She’d thought maybe she was being asked to do other work—something related to her psychic abilities.

"Anything else? Not really. Right now, the priority is the Dark Signers," Goodwin said, then half-joked, "At worst, you could be my secretary—serving tea, paperwork, errands..."

Akiza nodded seriously, "Okay. When do I start?"

"...I was joking."

Goodwin looked helplessly at her earnest, humorless face.
