Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 858

Chapter 858: Chapter 858: A Duel Not Suitable for Children

"My turn. Draw!"

Blair straightened up.

A duel with the idol of her dreams—she had to be at her best no matter what.

Stand tall like a girl in love! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"I activate the Equip Spell ’Cupid’s Kiss’!"

A pink-heart-themed card; a chibi, blond love-god wielded a cupid arrow tipped with a heart.

"Cupid’s Kiss equips to ’Maiden in Love,’" Blair said. "Then Maiden in Love attacks ’Alchemist of Black Spells’!"

The long-dressed beauty rushed forward through a rosy, dreamy backdrop, clutching a huge bouquet. "Mister Mage~"

The Alchemist froze, and the beauty tripped right in front of him, taking a spill.

[Alchemist of Black Spells, DEF 1800]

[Maiden in Love, ATK 400]

[Blair, LP 3200 → 1800]

The long-dressed girl stood up with tear tracks on her cheeks. "So cruel... Are you rejecting my feelings?"

The Alchemist was moved, hurriedly helping her up. She beamed instantly and, arm in arm, walked off to the other side’s field.

The crowd: "..."

Seriously?

Blair smiled. "When a monster equipped with ’Cupid’s Kiss’ battles an opponent’s monster with a Maiden Counter and I take damage, I gain control of that monster."

"Not bad," Kira said. "But Alchemist of Black Spells is in Defense Position and can’t change positions during the Battle Phase. Even if you took control of him, he can’t attack me."

Blair pouted.

True.

She’d sacrificed over half her LP to steal control but couldn’t attack—because the Alchemist had that rare once-per-turn self-switch to Defense.

Otherwise, her usual combo would let her steal control and swing in for heavy damage...

A thought flitted through her mind.

Did Kira-sa,a actually calculate all of this?

"Then, that’s the end of my Battle Phase," she said. "I set two cards and end my turn."

"My turn. Draw."

Kira drew, glanced at the card, slipped it into hand, then played another.

"I Normal Summon ’Magical Exemplar.’"

A green-robed priestess manifested, holy text inscribed on her robes; her face was pure and solemn.

[Magical Exemplar, ATK 1700]

It might seem odd that even female monsters get charmed by the Maiden in Love, but this isn’t the Age of Rule-of-Cool—by duel rules, it happens.

You could say the Maiden in Love is gender-blind and even cross-species—dragons and fiends alike would fall.

One wonders how that tiny body can handle it...

"I activate ’Graceful Charity,’" Kira said. "Draw three, then discard two."

He sent two cards from hand to the Graveyard.

"At this moment, Magical Exemplar’s effect activates.

While she’s on the field, each time a Spell Card is activated, she gains two Spell Counters."

[Magical Exemplar, Counters: 2]

"Then I activate ’Spell Power Grasp’ again. Place another Spell Counter on the Continuous Spell ’Arcane Barrier,’ then add my last ’Spell Power Grasp’ from the Deck."

"Next, Ritual Spell ’Advanced Ritual Art’!" Kira said. "Send Normal Monsters from the Deck to the GY as the Tribute, until their total Levels equal the Ritual Monster in my hand, then Ritual Summon that monster!"
