Chapter 19: The Targeted Apricot
After stepping through the gate, Qin Tian came to a pitch-black space.
"It looks like it's a passageway, but it feels so far away. Shizuka doesn't know where they are, I need to find them quickly! "Observe your surroundings as you run.
On the other side, Naiya, who was observing everyone, looked at the screen of the game and Qin Tian's screen.
"The two Muto brothers, the man who defeated the Seahorse Seto! If you let you wander around, it will affect other people to duel, and it will be troublesome! I'll prepare a special labyrinth for the two of you! β
With that, Naia's fingers pressed frantically on the buttons of the seat, apparently opening something.
At the moment when Naiya finished pressing, Qin Tianhe's game space suddenly distorted.
Feeling the unusualness around him, Qin Tian said, "What is this?" β
Then he disappeared from space, presumably teleported somewhere else!
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from Naia's ear? "Lord Naia!"
"Otaki?" Naia replied lightly.
"Yes. Can you please give me the next duel? Otaki pleaded.
The camera pans to Naia's front of her, and a strange penguin appears on the screen.
Naia looked at him and said, "Yes! Who are you going to choose as your opponent? β
Naia then looked at the surrounding surveillance screens.
A giggle was heard.
"I've already chosen my target."
And the picture that Naya saw at this time happened to be the picture of apricots.
"Do as you please." Naia smiled.
At this time, the apricot fell asleep because of overwork.
In her sleep, Apricot turned into a [Black Mage Girl]. In the audience, the game and the pharaoh are sitting on chairs holding hands and watching Apricot perform on stage.
Then sensing something touching her cheek, Apricot slowly opened her eyes and found a penguin standing in front of her.
"Penguin! You were at that timeγγγγγγ β
Kyoko recalls that when she was hunted down before, this penguin once saved herself.
The penguin beckons to the apricot and makes a penguin sound.
"What? Are you saying come with me? β
The penguin raised his hand again and pointed ahead.
Anyway, it's better to follow along. Apricot caught up with the penguin, and as she went deeper, she came to a lake.
A few penguins prepared a raft on the bank, and the apricots sat on it, and then the raft went to a place with the river.
After a while, the raft came to the shore.
When the apricots came ashore, they were stunned by the dense colony of penguins.
"Penguin Kingdom!?"
The penguin made way for the apricot, who reached the castle surrounded by penguins.
After pushing open the castle gate, a burst of wild laughter reached Kyoko's ears.
"Hahahaha! Hahaha! Welcome, Kyoko Masaki (16 years old) "Despite hearing the voice, Kyoko did not see a human figure.
"Who are you? Come out of here. Kyoko shouted nervously.
The voice from the shadows came again: "Don't be in such a hurry! The audition has begun! β
"Auditions?" Kyoko wondered.
"You really want to act! It's the 'Jewel of the Dark Mage Maiden Sage'. Again, the voice came.
When Kyoko heard the voice, she thought: how did he know. Why would he know my dreams.
"We at Seahorse have also provided a lot of help to Broadway musicals. Of course, it is not difficult to choose you as the heroine. β
Kyoko heard it and muttered, "Let me be the heroine of Broadway?" β
"That's a good proposal, isn't it? It's the musical you've been dreaming of! β
As soon as the voice was finished, a group of penguins made way for a group of penguins, and a huge penguin appeared on the table, looking a little fat!
Apricot suddenly realized that what she had just said was all said by this penguin. "Should you be?"
"That's right, I'm Shuzo Otaki (55 years old), the former executive director and head of personnel at Haima Corporation. So, let's get started with the interview. β
The penguin rolled over and sat down on a chair behind the desk and pulled out a resume sheet.
Apricot looked at the strange penguin and said, "What interview?" β
"Kyoko Masaki (16 years old) has been wandering around the world since she was a child because of her father's work. I watched the musical "Jewel of the Dark Magician Girl Sage" in New York and was deeply moved! β
Kyoko subconsciously retreated when she heard this: "How do you know these things?" β
But Otaki said with a grin: "Do you look down on the intelligence network of big enterprises so much? We're nerve-wracking! Excellent grades, good at sports! No matter what you do, you can't hide it from us. Hahaha! β
When Apricot heard this, she was very angry and clenched her fists, and said, "You are secretly investigating us, what is your purpose!" Hurry up and release me, I'm going to find the game for them! β
But Otaki didn't want to let go of the apricots, and continued: "Since you were born, you have thrown garbage 12 times, never turned off the faucet 35 times, and forgot to turn off the lights 62 times. β
"Liar!" Apricot couldn't believe it.
"What would happen if all 5.5 billion people on Earth followed your example? Wasting energy is also one of the causes of the greenhouse effect, and if this happens, the penguins will suffer more and more! β
Otaki said sensationally.
"Penguins." Apricot subconsciously looked at the penguins around her.
"People who can't understand the mood of penguins can't be touched!" Otaki said mockingly.
When the surrounding penguins heard Otaki's words, they puffed up their hands.
"What are you talking nonsense?"
"But don't worry! I will use your body to make you reborn from the fire again! It became a high school girl who was very considerate of the earth. β
At the thought of being able to have a girl's body right away, Otaki laughed excitedly.
"Who's going to take on a challenge from a disgusting guy like you!" Apricot already felt goosebumps rising, and quickly turned around and ran away.
"I'm not going to let you escape, Kyoko Masaki, you didn't pass the interview!"
At this moment, the ice beneath the apricot began to crumble, leaving behind an icicle that could stand down the person. The surroundings turned into icebergs and oceans.
Otaki on the other side said, "The terrain I chose is a frozen ocean!" β
After Otaki finished speaking, a dueling plate appeared in Kyoko's left hand, and the cards appeared in front of Kyoko one by one.
"Just pick out the cards you want and make your own deck! The only way to get out of here is to hit me! β
After listening to this, Apricot began to carefully select her own cards.
Suddenly I was asked to choose, and I didn't know what it was! Suddenly, she saw the [Sage's Jewel] appear in the card, so she reached out and tapped it.
This card may be useful, but in short, you should choose the right card that looks good.
"I've got my deck set." Apricot Road.
"So, choose a monster from your deck to be your deck leader!"
"The deck leader I chose is [Dark Mage Girl]!"
After saying that, a beautiful black magician girl appeared next to Apricot.
When Otaki saw it, he said with bad intentions: "Oh roar! There are two beautiful girls! The pleasure of 'bullying' will also be doubled! My deck leader, as you can see, is Nightmare Penguin. So, let's get started! Let's fight on the ice where even your body freezes! β
"I won't lose to you!".
Kyoko responded with a nice turn.
Duel!
