Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1148

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: The Hero of the City

"You really knew my father?"

Yusei was surprised.

Kira clasped his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, face full of nostalgia. "Yes. It’s already been seventeen years..."

He wasn’t entirely lying, given his "Rex Goodwin" persona.

Seventeen years ago, before Zero Reverse, both Rudger and Rex Goodwin were members of the Ener-D research team, friends and co-creators of the dream prototype.

Of course, Rex then was still young and naïve.

Later, the legendary "Duel Runner Rider," who famously built the Daedalus Bridge to the city and evaded Security’s pursuit by leaping over it on his Duel Runner, was none other than a young Rex Goodwin.

"Yusei Fudo, I always believed you held limitless potential. You inherited Dr. Fudo’s will—leading the Satellite and New Domino... destined to guide humanity toward a bright future.

Never forget this, Yusei Fudo."

Yusei’s expression grew solemn, feeling the weight on his shoulders.

"All right, the battle with the Dark Signers ends here. Go home and rest," said Kira.

"In the name of Security, and of all New Domino, I thank you for fighting for this city. I promise, everyone will know who stood up when the city was in greatest peril."

At this, the Signers truly felt exhaustion set in. After such death-defying duels, they just wanted to rest.

So everyone parted, returning home.

Except for Akiza.

"You’re not going back?" Kira asked, copying Goodwin’s posture as he walked slowly to his private Security helicopter, glancing at Akiza, who followed at a distance.

Akiza stared at the ground in a daze. "I have nowhere to go back to..."

Kira looked at her for a moment, then calmly said, "You should visit home. At least once."

Akiza shook her head. "Home? I don’t have a home. My parents only look at me with fear. There’s nowhere I want to go back to..."

"Fear of power—of the unknown—is a human instinct. Maybe they were wrong, but don’t be too hard on them. Even in fear, they never gave up on you, right?" Kira replied.

Akiza fell silent.

Kira left it at that. He didn’t have time to meddle further in Akiza’s family affairs.

...

Night passed quietly.
