"Is it over?"
Kira took the deck handed over by Silence and slid it into an empty deck case tucked inside his coat.
When heading out, he usually carried several deck boxes for different decks—one for the SIDE deck, and a few empty ones reserved for captured spoils.
Misawa wore six deck boxes on his chest as a daily routine. Jaden usually had two strapped behind his back. So generally speaking, counting the deck already loaded in the duel disk, it wasn't unusual to carry around nine decks at a minimum—without even needing a backpack.
Kira opened the captured deck and glanced through it briefly.
This duelist named Titan was just a two-bit con artist who relied on cheap tricks and scams. In the anime, he didn't even duel properly—he knocked Alexis out from behind and kidnapped her to force Jaden into a duel.
Even during the duel, he relied entirely on hypnosis and underhanded tactics. Once Jaden saw through his tricks, he immediately tried to flee.
No dueling etiquette, no real skill—no need to play fair with a second-rate duelist like that. Just have a Duel Monster Spirit beat him up directly.
Confiscating the tool of his crime.
As expected, Titan used a Fiend deck. It was at least a proper archetype, but none of the cards seemed particularly strong to Kira.
Still, even if the cards weren't useful, they could be sold for a decent price.
He'd already sold quite a few cards from previously looted decks. Turns out scavenging and selling decks could be a good source of income. Up to now, he'd made enough just from selling spare cards and duel disks to support himself for a while.
"Nice job. Well done," Kira said, patting Silence's head with a smile.
Silence, who had been pouting unhappily the entire time, froze in surprise at the unexpected head pat. Her face turned slightly red with a hint of social anxiety, and in a flash, she turned into a streak of white light and vanished into the deck.
Kira stared at his outstretched hand, reflecting.
Was that... Bochi?
From outside in the hallway came Jaden's voice: "This room's empty too. Kira, find anything on your side?—Eh!?"
He walked in just in time to see the white silhouette disappearing into Kira's deck and blinked twice in surprise, then rubbed his eyes hard.
"I wasn't seeing things, right? Kira, that was—?"
Winged Kuriboh fluttered over and hovered by Jaden's side. "Kuri kuri~!"
"Ah, so I wasn't mistaken after all!" Jaden beamed. "You've got a spirit too, huh?"
Winged Kuriboh nodded vigorously—though its whole body was just a head, so it looked like it was bouncing around while flapping its wings. "Kuri! Kuri Kuri!"
Jaden nodded. "Yeah, I know, buddy."
Kira: "..."
Okay seriously, how do you guys understand what Kuriboh is saying?
Every syllable sounds the same.
Encountering another kindred spirit, Jaden excitedly pulled him aside. "Ever since I was a kid, I've been hearing strange voices. It usually happened while I was dreaming—someone calling my name at night. I often got up to check my deck."
"And then a spirit appeared?"
"Nope, nothing happened," Jaden scratched his head awkwardly. "Haha, I guess it's not that easy to meet a spirit. For a long time after that, I didn't hear anything. But lately, I've started hearing them again."
He turned to Winged Kuriboh, who nuzzled him affectionately, squinting its eyes in delight. "Kuri kuri~!"
