Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 776

Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Correction

"Broken..."

"Really broken..."

The doll spirit Alice sat on the floor with her legs tucked, staring blankly at her cards scattered everywhere, not recovering for a long while.

Her Deck was strewn about. Since she used a Doll Parts build, the floor was littered with them—an arm here, a leg there, and several doll heads mixed in. It looked like she’d been dismantled by her opponent.

"Too much. Just too much."

Alice accused in her heart.

To be fair, she came today with the mission of "plunging the opponent into utter despair," to make a strong duelist lose the heart to duel, even kick the habit and swear off cards forever.

But now it seemed like she was the one getting cured of card addiction...

Alice rubbed her eyes; the tiny doll looked like she’d been punched, slumped and on the verge of tears.

Doll Chimera is such a pain to summon—you need Alice plus four Doll Parts to put it together. She managed it in one turn, got no praise, and instead it got blown up five times in one turn until not even dust remained...

In that moment, Alice felt a little silly for pouring everything into summoning that big boss.

And when the opponent casually dropped an alchemy beater with over eight thousand ATK afterward, Alice was certain.

She wasn’t "a little" silly.

She was actually silly.

Ugh, dueling is the worst!

So this is the fabled realm of despair for duelists—the abyss where you never want to swing cards again?

She’d experienced it firsthand.

"Your Deck is interesting."

Kira smiled.

"Good play. That Doll Chimera is hard to bring out—at least you did summon it. Pretty impressive."

Alice looked up, eyes red.

She thought it was impressive too, but coming from him it sounded like mockery...

"Keep it up and come again next time." Kira smiled. "You’re always welcome to send me back to the realm of despair."

Alice flinched instinctively, clutching her dress and scooting back.

Nope, not coming back. Never again.

I’ve already been there.

"I’m sorry!"

Alice prostrated herself.

Kira blinked.

"What?"

He didn’t even react. Sorry for what?

Sorry you couldn’t entertain me before you broke down?

"I—I remember now!" Alice bowed. "I wasn’t supposed to be like this."

"I am a guardian spirit, meant to protect duelists’ hearts. I should bring happiness and let everyone enjoy dueling."

"But I was weak, allowed darkness to stain my heart, and conceived such evil thoughts."

"But now I understand."

Alice knelt, face full of remorse.

"You wanted to show me—through a duel—how painful it is to have one’s heart for dueling, one’s hope, stripped away, didn’t you?"

"I shouldn’t resent, and I definitely shouldn’t force that pain onto others. I’m fully awakened now, and I remember who I am. So...

I’m sorry!"

She bowed even lower.

"Normally, no," Alice explained earnestly. "But Kira-sama said I am currently a criminal on probation. This is labor... labor..."

"Reform through labor," Kira prompted from inside.

"Yes, that."

Alice’s little face was taut with solemnity as she resumed scrubbing the window with great seriousness.

Jaden: "?"

He frowned. "Wait, I feel like I’ve seen this girl somewhere..."

"She’s the doll from Ms. Dorothy’s shop," Kira said. "Originally a spirit that protects duelists, stained by darkness into a dangerous spirit.

After dueling me, she seems to have returned to normal, but we can’t rule out risk yet. So she’s under observation."

"I—I see." Jaden nodded.

Dueling with Kira... yeah, that tracks. Even the worst corruption would be cleared up.

The two sat down to talk. Soon Alice came in with a silver tray.

"These are snacks and tea I prepared. Please enjoy."

She set the tray down gently and went back to work.

Jaden took a bite, his eyes lighting up.

"Oh, this is delicious!" he said, satisfied. "Man, I wish Slifer Red had a doll like this too..."

"Forget that—how are you doing?" Kira cut straight to the point.

"Doing? How?" Jaden tilted his head.

"The Supreme King—he’s inside you now, right?" Kira studied him. "Do you feel anything off?"
