Chapter 102 - 102
"Grandpa is something else!" After seeing Hoshino walk out of the room, Yugi scratched his starfish-shaped hair and approached apologetically. "He used you for business without even asking. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Yugi. After all, Grandpa has helped me so much. If it's just this much..."
Just this much...
Posting posters of Hoshino from who knows where using the Duel King status to scam, and arranging a duel between Hoshino and a whale spender without permission.
Hmm, that old man is too much!
"Hey, what's going on?" A familiar voice, even though it was very noisy at the door, Hoshino still accurately caught the sexy tone.
"Mai, you're back!" Since Kaiba's helicopter couldn't bring everyone back, Mai Valentine, who wasn't used to flying anyway, decided to take a cruise instead, naturally arriving a day later than Hoshino and the others.
In the crowd, Mai, who was swinging her backpack over her shoulder with one hand, stared at the Hoshino posters at the door and smiled faintly.
"Where did you get Hoshino's poster? It suits the Duel King image~ pfft!" Seeing Hoshino approach, Mai finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The poster featured Hoshino's card-drawing action captured at some unknown time, combined with post-processing and background effects, giving a powerful impact.
But comparing it with the real Hoshino, the contrast made Mai burst out laughing on the spot.
"Mai, that's too much..." Hoshino, puffed-up with pride, had warmly welcomed Mai, but she was still staring at the poster and laughing.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry Chiyuki~" Although apologizing, Mai didn't stop laughing. She gently patted Hoshino's head. "I just think Chiyuki is too cute, whether normally or during duels."
"Mai, you're back~" Jonouchi's voice came from the crowd. "Huh? What's going on today? Business is so good."
Jonouchi, Honda, Anzu, and Bakura, who had agreed to come to the toy store the next day, arrived early in the morning and were equally shocked by the crowd at the entrance.
"Is there some promotion? I was just thinking of buying some card packs to strengthen my deck!" Jonouchi hurried over excitedly. "Let me see, let me see~"
"Kame's Game Shop Special Event... in collaboration with the Duel King... Chiyuki Hoshino? Huh?!" Jonouchi read the sign at the door word by word, increasingly feeling something was off. "Today, before 10 AM, the person who draws the most UR cards from Duel Monsters packs will get the chance to duel with Duel King Chiyuki Hoshino!!"
"What a money-grabbing event!" Initially thinking it was a discount promotion, Jonouchi shouted angrily after understanding the rules. "Using Hoshino for a business scheme, Grandpa, give me 10 packs!"
"Jonouchi, can your allowance handle buying so many packs at once?" Anzu asked, worried about Jonouchi's spending.
"Yeah, and haven't you already dueled Hoshino?" Honda also disapproved of Jonouchi's actions.
"You guys, I lost, so I want revenge!" Jonouchi angrily took out his wallet and stormed to the counter. "Grandpa, give me 10 packs of the best Duel Monster cards!!"
"Alright, thanks for your patronage~" Grandpa, who was already grinning from ear to ear, picked out ten packs from the counter and handed them to Jonouchi.
"Grandpa, how many URs has the current leader drawn?" Jonouchi asked casually as he silently prayed and tore open the packs.
"Hmm, according to our records, two people have drawn six URs each and are tied for first place," Grandpa answered accurately after flipping through his notebook.
"Hmph, only six URs? Watch me surpass that easily!"
"Jonouchi, if you wanted to duel, you could have just asked me directly..." Seeing Jonouchi already engrossed, Hoshino sighed. "I became the Duel King just yesterday, and I've already attracted so many customers?"
"Yay, UR!" Jonouchi excitedly drew a shiny card from his first pack.
"You didn't know? Hoshino, you've already gone viral online. I only found out yesterday when I went online after getting home," Bakura, with a hint of admiration, looked at Hoshino. "The hottest
