At the same time, my wife is myself.

Unfortunately, even with the two of them working together, the elf did not respond to their call. However, they could vaguely hear the sound of water and a beautiful, moving voice that did not sound like a human at all.

"If we're talking about mermaids, then it has to be that one."

Chiyori and Toyokawa Shoko were somewhat surprised:

"The Pearl Tears Singing Clan! It's the Pearl Tears, we are saved!"

After their initial euphoria, the two quickly calmed down. Not to mention that they couldn't summon the Pearl Tears yet, even if they could, they would still need to coordinate with the Earth Angel's monsters and those powerful external aids.

The strength of the Pearl Tears deck lies in its near-perfect resource management; in layman's terms, it's the deck that excels at relying on powerful allies and can easily summon various powerful players.

In this real dueling world, there is no extra deck. Fusion monsters really need to be fused together during duels, and the same applies to Synchro, Xyz, and Link.

Not to mention in the real dueling world, those at the top are all god-tier drawers. If someone gets five Dark Wizards in their hand, or can gather all the conditions to summon the Creator God of Light, they can directly win the duel, and you really have no way to do anything about it.

After that, Chiyuki and Toyokawa Shoko each printed ten cards matching Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician Girl, and then they felt somewhat exhausted.

Even without the resonance card spirit and with the assistance of equipment, printing cards is still a very energy-consuming task.

However, those general-purpose magic cards and trap cards can be made by others.

Besides printing the card, Qianyuan also used the Creation Belt to analyze and replicate the instrument, preparing to bring it back to the Honkai Impact 3rd world for Velvet to study.

This basic version of the Divine Key, apart from lacking the Herrscher Core, is made of the same materials as the original: Soul Steel, a metallic material created by nanobots from the previous civilization that possess self-repairing capabilities and extremely strong resistance to Honkai energy.

It is perfectly suited to the powers of the Herrscher of Reason; after automatically replicating and analyzing an item, it can transform into the appearance of that item.

"Unfortunately, if it were the Herrscher of Reason who were to take action, it wouldn't be a simple simulation, but rather the ability to directly create this device."

Qianyuan decided to invite Bronya over to study it together and create ten of these card-printing machines to play with first.

In this world, dueling rituals are mandatory, but in other worlds, it's not the same. Aren't so-called cards just magic scrolls in a different form?

Toyokawa Shoko had a similar idea, but she planned to print the power of other worlds into cards for playing cards.

The main focus is on surprise.

Seeing that the two of them were a bit tired, the grandfather didn't want to rush things: "You two go and rest, and while you're at it, communicate with the card spirit."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Technique of Printing Cards

Back at the Toyokawa family mansion, with her grandfather's hesitant expression, Chien and Toyokawa Shoko entered the same room.

"Sigh... well, let the young people handle their own affairs."

If Qianyuan hadn't shown such great potential, her grandfather would never have agreed. But in other words, after Qianyuan showed her potential, he turned a blind eye.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I'm too old to care about so much, so I won't bother them."

He returned to his office, where major changes were imminent, undercurrents were swirling, and there were still many things to deal with.

Furthermore, he was not without ambition.

The resurrection of his daughter, and his own rejuvenation to eternal youth, might all be possible!

The two people in the room weren't having a deep conversation as the grandfather had imagined. For them, this was a very ordinary thing; they would just find a suitable time to have some fun and play around. Of course, business had to come first.

They still need to verify several hypotheses.

The two summoned their card spirits.

The Dark Magician Girl is like a blooming rose, exuding girlish sweetness. Her long golden hair cascades down, her snow-white skin reveals pale blue veins, and a faint six-pointed star mark floats on her collarbone.

It can be described as both large and white.

"Owner."

She stood behind Toyokawa Shoko, but her gaze toward Chien was somewhat lost.

Even though the owner is here, why does the man opposite me give me the feeling of being the owner?

Chiyu reached out and stroked the head of the Dark Magician Girl. She did not show any resistance; on the contrary, she felt quite comfortable.

After a few seconds of infatuation, she realized that it was just a betrayal of her master, but seeing that Toyokawa Shoko's expression didn't seem angry, she continued to enjoy herself.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon spirit summoned by Qianyuan saw its master touching another person's spirit. Its originally majestic and powerful dragon body immediately changed and transformed into the appearance of a human girl. However, it still retained its dragon wings and tail, making it a true dragon-human girl.

She did not show any displeasure at Toyokawa Shoko's approach. Clearly, the two spirits' ability to recognize their masters may be related to their souls, so since their souls are one, they will be recognized by each other's spirits.

"It seems you can use my deck too, which is good, as it can confuse those who are targeting you."

Chiyuki was very satisfied. He planned to focus on turning abilities into cards from different worlds. Not to mention, the class cards in the Type-Moon world could also do something similar. He planned to find a way to get this technology from Merlin. Playing cards was something that Toyokawa Shoko had to do herself.

Toyokawa Shoko said, "With just the two of us, we have two decks. With the other three people, I can get a total of five deck cards, which is enough to deal with anyone's counter."

Qianyuan agreed: "Not only that, our decks can also be combined. In Yu-Gi-Oh!, it's common to see different types of decks combined to gain stronger power."

After this first attempt, Chien and Toyokawa Shoko made a second attempt.

Can cards with card spirits be taken to other worlds?

The attempt failed, which the two had anticipated. As things stand, the current soul space still does not allow other souls to pass through.

The next step was the third attempt.

They asked their spirits:

Do you know the technology behind making trading cards?

Clearly, the Toyokawa family hasn't had card-making technology for very long, and they hope to acquire new technology from the card spirits.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon shook his head: "I'm only good at fighting."

She felt ashamed that she couldn't help Qianyuan.

"I know."

The dark magic girl blinked, her voice slightly playful: "After all, I've undergone rigorous training in dark magic."

“In ancient times, duels were not fought with such small cards. Instead, they used the Tablets of Destiny, inscribing various powers into the tablets. If a person could not even manipulate the tablets, he was not qualified to be a duelist.”

Her wand tapped lightly in the air, outlining the shape of the stone slab.

It was a stone slab about half a meter long and wide. Ordinary people had no way of using these stone slabs to form a deck for duels.

Qianyuan could see that in ancient times, one was not qualified to become a duelist without extraordinary power.

All I can say is thank you for technological advancements.

"To create the Tablet of Destiny, one must guide the power within one's body, or the power of the elven realm, to imprint it. And to make the elves submit, one needs even greater power, just like the master."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded and asked the dark magic girl for specific technical details; she was still somewhat confident about the duel.

Not only does she have the help of others, but her card spirit is Dark Magician Girl, while Chiyuki's card spirit is Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

This is so similar to Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba. Could there be a element of fate involved?

After memorizing the ancient technique for engraving destiny tablets, Toyokawa Shoko checked the time:

"It's almost time to meet with Mu, let's go."

She was originally debating whether to revive CRYCHIC, but now she doesn't need to worry about it at all. She's going to play cards now and doesn't have time to play in a band.

But it's important to say goodbye properly to old friends.

There's also Xiao Mu. Toyokawa Shoko is considering whether to bring Xiao Mu over. She can't get into MyGo, and she doesn't form a hen card herself. If she gets too engrossed in playing cards and doesn't have time to spend with her, wouldn't that be too pitiful for her?

"Do you remember what your father said? Duels are about to be widely promoted."

Qianyuan reminded her, "If you don't get her into this hobby now, it will be much later."

Toyokawa Shoko had another concern: "But right now only duelists encounter dangers from the supernatural side. Once it's officially promoted, the number of ordinary duelists will increase significantly, and she will be much safer. I will also be able to grow strong enough to protect her."

She had long considered Wakaba Mutsu as family, which is why she was so anxious and insecure.

Qianyuan understood her concerns: "Why don't you just stay with her? Or see if she has the potential to summon card spirits?"

If a card spirit can be summoned before the duel has even begun, it means that Wakaba Mutsu has great potential, and it would be best to let her grow up as soon as possible.

Strength is always the most crucial element.

"you're right."

Shoko Toyokawa took a deep breath and went to the café she had arranged to meet with Mutsuko Wakaba. There, a girl with a serene expression and light green hair sat quietly.

When she saw Toyokawa Shoko, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but when she saw Chiyuki, she was somewhat surprised.

Her expression was very subtle; if Toyokawa Shoko hadn't known her so well, she wouldn't have been able to tell at all.

"This is Qianyuan, my fiancé."

Shoko Toyokawa explained, "You can also consider him my husband. Although we are not legally married, I will only choose him as my partner."

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Nagasaki Motoyo is Deeply Shocked

Toyokawa Shoko's words caused Wakaba Mutsu's eyes to widen slightly, the most obvious expression she had ever shown.

Qianyuan greeted her: "Hello, Xiaomu, Xiangzi mentioned you to me, saying you are her best friend."

She was somewhat uncomfortable with Qianyuan's enthusiasm, but she didn't show it and remained silent.

Toyokawa Shoko said, "Mutsu, my family matters have been resolved."

If Ye Mu's eyes showed anticipation, could it mean that things could go back to the way they were before?

“But I can’t go back to CRYCHIC anymore, I have very important things to do.”

If Ye Mu became dejected again, Qian Yuan observed her subtle changes in expression and found it very interesting.

Sure enough, Mutou people are adorable.

"Su Shi has been asking you about me, right? I know you're caught in the middle and it's difficult for you. I've already contacted her, and she's coming over soon. I'll take care of this."

She affectionately patted Wakaba Mutsu's head: "You won't be our mouthpiece anymore."

Qianyuan took out a cucumber ornament, which she had bought on the way here: "This is a gift."

This ornament is exquisitely made; if it weren't for the different texture, it would look exactly like a real cucumber.

Ruoye Mu really liked the gift and didn't put it down once she had it in her hand.

"Mu, after we finish dealing with Su Shi's matter, come with me. There are some things I want to confirm with you."

She didn't intend to have Wakaba Mutsu use the Toyokawa family's equipment for testing. Instead, she planned to use the Creation Belt to transform into that equipment, allowing Wakaba Mutsu to try resonating with the card spirit.

Ruoye Mu didn't ask anything, she just nodded silently.

"Xiao Xiang!"

A gentle clip sounded from the side, and a beautiful young girl, who was only a teenager but had the air of a widowed wife, walked gracefully towards them.

In her eyes, there was no Wakaba Mutsu, no Chien, only Toyokawa Shoko.

"Xiao Xiang, you're finally willing to see me."

Motoyo Nagasaki tried to keep her voice down, "I knew you wouldn't abandon the band."

"I regret to inform you that due to family reasons, I have encountered unforeseen circumstances and cannot continue with the band."

Shoko Toyokawa said, "I was immature in the past, and my handling of the situation was inappropriate, which caused harm to everyone in the band. I am very sorry."

Nagasaki Motoyo said softly, "It's okay, Shoko. Everyone misses you. How about we rebuild CRYCHIC together? No matter what difficulties we face, we can definitely overcome them together."

“Su Shi, this won’t work. I can no longer devote my energy to the band.”

Toyokawa Shoko tried to explain to Nagasaki Motoyo, but clearly, Nagasaki Motoyo wouldn't listen. She said to Wakaba Mutsu, "Mutsu, I know you said those things to help Shoko when the band broke up. Actually, you also wanted to go back to CRYCHIC, didn't you?"

If Ye Mu didn't know how to answer, Qian Yuan stepped in: "It's no use asking her, she can't make the decision."

Qianyuan hugged Toyokawa Shoko's slender waist: "Because I'm the one who prevented Shoko from continuing to participate in the band."

He hadn't originally intended to get involved and wanted Shoko Toyokawa to handle it herself, but Motoyo Nagasaki was too forceful, and he couldn't persuade her with words alone.

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't bring herself to speak harshly to her, but if she spoke gently, she would always have hope.

"you?"

Nagasaki Motoyo sized up Chiyori. "Who are you? Why won't you let Shoko join my band?"

"I'm her fiancé. As for why I'm not forming a band with you, it's because I don't have time."

Qianyuan said, "She has to have five children, so time is very tight. Including the time to recover, it will take at least ten years."

"Have children? Five!"
