Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 - 50: Turns Out I’m Super Strong, No Cap

When his consciousness returned, Kira felt warm sunlight, a gentle breeze, and a faint scent of flowers.

He slowly opened his eyes, briefly dazzled by the sun, and instinctively raised an arm to shield himself. He realized he was sitting on damp grass.

As he tried to get up, a hand helped him to his feet.

"Huh?"

He turned and saw—startled—that his helper was none other than Silent Magician. Her white robe fluttered, and her gaze was full of concern.

Maybe she was worried her master had hit his head.

But the moment their eyes met, she jolted, quickly let go, and nervously gripped her staff, shuffling away.

Well, at least she didn't run straight back into the deck, which Kira took as progress.

Wait, something was off.

Kira frowned and walked up to Silent Magician.

He reached out and pinched her snow-white cheek.

It was soft and warm—so realistic, just like a real person...

Impossible.

Silent Magician: "???"

She gripped her staff, unsure what her master was doing.

"So, it's true—spirits can be touched here."

Kira looked around.

Golden sunlight streamed through dense trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Tall trees formed a canopy like green umbrellas.

Spirits can manifest physically, but it's usually difficult and can't last long in the real world. And since his spirit was so shy, but she hadn't vanished or returned to the deck, it meant...

"I'm in the Spirit World?" Kira guessed.

Silent Magician nodded.

He was right.

He could guess because similar things had happened in the original. For example, Yugi and Pharaoh were summoned to the Spirit World by Dark Magician Girl to fight Orichalcos, or in 5D's, Luna went to save the Ancient Fairy Dragon.

"So that slab in the ruins was a gateway to the Spirit World?" Kira wondered.

But the researchers hadn't noticed. Was it only because he approached it that it reacted?

He was sure he'd heard a voice from the slab before entering.

Something was calling him.

As he pondered, he suddenly heard rustling behind him. Turning, he saw figures emerge from the brush, wielding spear-like weapons.

They looked like some kind of dark-skinned goblin tribe.

"Human!"

The leader yelled.

Kira was surprised he could understand the spirit's language but then remembered that in Yu-Gi-Oh, spirits from different dimensions all spoke the same language as humans.

He was sure they were warning an intruder, not welcoming a guest.
