Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524: Chapter 524: A Perfect Infiltration

"Hmm?"

Joey caught a crucial detail in Kira’s question.

"Wait—you mean... you can leave anytime? You can come and go from this world freely?"

"Yup, yup," Jaden said, leaning on Kira’s shoulder with a grin. "Kira has the spirit of the legendary Black Luster Soldier, with the power to open space and travel between dimensions."

"Also with a little help from KaibaCorp tech," Kira added.

"Did Kaiba cook up another outrageous piece of black-tech?" Joey muttered—then his face changed.

"Wait... don’t tell me my duel disk is obsolete again!?"

He hugged his duel disk tight, eyes wide.

Come to think of it, things had been rough for Joey since the original series. When the first duel disk released, KaibaCorp said any sufficiently ranked duelist could get one for free, but the president abused his power and rated Joey at two stars, denying him a disk.

In the Shadow Realm arc, Joey scrimped and saved from part-time jobs to maintain his beloved old duel disk. Then Kaiba held a press conference, declaring dueling had entered a new generation and old models were obsolete. Joey was furious, shattered—and had to start saving all over again...

Still, Joey hadn’t been playing many tournaments over the years, and he didn’t seem interested in using his extraordinary gambling luck to make money. Kira always thought if he tried, he could earn a fortune with ease.

But Joey thought for a moment and shook his head. "I can’t go yet."

"Why not?"

"Although I came to this spirit world by accident..."

Joey took a deep breath and glanced back at the sea of yellow sand.

"At first, I stumbled upon a very bad guy—someone abusing the power of dueling to hurt others. I tried to stop him, but failed.

I walked right into some trap without thinking, and when I came to, I was already in this world."

Kira pondered.

So it really was Tragoedia?

Looks like Joey got in the crayfish’s way, and the latter kicked him into the spirit world.

"At first I was annoyed, always looking for a way back. But the longer I stayed here, the more I saw, the harder it was to stand by and do nothing.

I met many people here—many spirits. A lot of them welcomed me warmly and helped me.

But I also learned that things here are in a terrible state. A dictator named the Supreme King has conquered twelve dimensions. All resistance was crushed; the inhabitants of these worlds are enslaved... I can’t ignore that."

"True," Jaden nodded vigorously, fully agreeing.

"So, you’ve decided to stay and defeat the Supreme King?" Kira asked.

"Yeah."

"Perfect—we’re on the same page." Kira smiled. "But it wouldn’t hurt to go back and rest. There’s plenty to take care of in the real world, too."

Joey blinked—his brain buffering.

Then he realized—right. If they can come and go at will, that’s ridiculously convenient.

"Besides, there’s someone out there still waiting for you to return, right?" Kira said with a grin.

"I happened to run into Mai earlier. She hasn’t given up looking for you—and she said when she finds you, you’re in for it."

Joey’s face fell at once.

He could already foresee the incoming beatdown.

"Alright."

The legendary duelist deflated.
