Chapter 74: Buying Card Packs

   The next day in the afternoon, instead of going to the Leisure Games and Odd Job Club room at the old building of Domino High School, Tokio excused himself from going to the club room. It wasn't that he was lacking sleep again and afraid of being punched by Risa.

However, what would he do this afternoon was important.

Meanwhile, After the classes, Joey, Yugi, Anzu, Honda, and Bakura are wondering where is Duke right now. Nosaka Miho on the other hand has excused herself from the protagonist group. She has rarely free time to spend with Anzu and the others. Other than being a member of the Library Committee, She was now also a secretary of the Student Council.

After a little while, the Protagonist Group eventually managed to find Devlin. They found him at the school gates. To their surprise, he wasn't alone. Devlin was talking to Horo Tokio. The president of the club they visited yesterday.

Tokio was quiet. On the other hand, Devlin was enthusiastically talking to him. The group wondered what they were talking about. Curious, they decided to approach them. Both of them notice their arrival.

Joey was still embarrassed over what happened yesterday so he decided to immediately avoid Tokio's gaze when the latter made contact with him. Gazing at Devlin, he asked.

" Oi, Ryuji.. You're not going home with us? "

" No. Today, I would accompany Horo-san. "

Anzu narrowed her eyes while she gazed at Duke and Tokio.

" Accompany? "

Deciding to quell the misunderstanding, Tokio replied to her inquiry.

" Otogi-san heard my troubles of buying card packs. He decided to invite me to buy card packs at his father's game shop, Black Clown. "

Hearing Tokio, Yugi looks troubled. He knows from his grandfather that Tokio is a frequent customer of the Kame Game shop. Even if his grandpa sounded grumpy every time he mentioned that 'Seaweed rich kid', his grandpa is fond of Tokio.

After all, how could Suguroku Muto hate Horo Tokio, when he's the Kame Game Shop's most generous customer? Every time Tokio arrives at the Kame Game shop, he is very generous in his spending.

As if sensing Yugi's troubles, Toki directed Yugi with a wan smile.

" I would also visit the Kame Game shop later. I only diversified the type of Card Packs that I would buy. I need to buy as many as possible. "

Hearing Tokio, the others were wondering why he needed to buy card packs considering that he wouldn't be a participant in the Battle City Tournament. Gaining the courage and erasing his traces of embarrassment from yesterday's event, Joey asked Tokio.

" A lot huh? So how much money are you planning to spend on the Card Packs? "

" 500, 000 yen. "

Immediately, the others started coughing when they the amount of money that Tokio would be spending.

" Wha?! 500, 000 yen?! "

Tristan exclaimed. On the other hand, Devlin was staring at Tokio with his eyes wide. He didn't expect Tokio to spend that amount of money to buy a Card Packs. Joey patting and soothing Yugi after he almost choked, asked.

" If you are looking for a diversity of Card Packs that you would buy, don't you think that going to the Kaibacorp is your best choice other than Industrial Illusions? "

" As I have told everyone yesterday, I and Kaiba-san are merely acquaintances. "

Sighing, Tokio decided to reveal a tidbit of information to them.

" Kaiba-san wasn't my friend. However, Utna-san was. "

" Utna-san? "

Bakura muttered with a curious tone. However, before Tokio could reply, one of the Horo family's limousine cars arrived and stopped in front of the gate. A maid got out of the car and opened the door for Tokio.

" Ah, looks like my escort has arrived. Otoji-san, would it be alright if we head to the Black Clown riding my family's car? "

Shrugging, Devlin replied.

" It's no problem. I'm okay with it. It's easier than walking. "

Glancing briefly at the Protagonist group and looking back at Tokio, Duke Devlin asked.

" Would it be alright if they come with us too? "

Gazing at the Protagonist group, Tokio sighed. However, he thinks that this is a good idea too. Being too close to the Protagonist group would be nothing but trouble. However, occasional interactions with them wouldn't be bad.

If there is a case in the future where his identity as the hidden boss needs to be revealed, with his interactions, maybe it would result in him avoiding dying as a result. Right? Right?

Nodding his head, Tokio entered his family's car. Followed by Duke Devlin and the others. The Horo Family's maid inside the car handed Tokio the briefcase containing the 500,000 yen cash inside it.

" Black Clown Game Shop is the destination. "

Tokio said to the driver. Meanwhile, the others looked impressed when they were inside the car and it started moving. Seeing Yugi frowning, Tokio decided to initiate a conversation with him.

" After buying from the Black Clown Game Shop, I am planning to go to the Kame Game Shop to buy Card Packs. "

Glancing at Tokio with a confused expression, Yugi muttered.

" I remembered the day Kaiba dragged me into his car and sent me to an abandoned warehouse just to play with you... Anyway, with 500,000 yen, you would be able to buy a lot of Card Packs, so why do you need so many? "

Yugi blinked with curiosity. Everyone is now looking at them too. Tokio who was under the attention of everyone, replied.

" The Cards that I would acquire from the Card Packs aren't for myself. "

" So, it is for your twin cousins? "

Anzu asked. Tokio decided to not correct her and everyone made their assumption. Keep quiet and let everyone run their heads into their own conjured explanation. After all, Yugi and the Pharaoh might be able to tell if he was lying.

While the car is driving to the Black Clown, Joey says to Tokio.

" .. I also know another Game Shop. Maybe you would find a unique card pack in that shop. "

Yugi exclaimed and asked.

" Ah! Jonouichi-kun. Are you talking about the game shop where you acquired your Duel Disk? "

" Yes, that's the one. "

Tokio was confused since from his knowledge Joey would acquire his duel disk from a shop managed by Rare Card Hunter... Looking at Joey's enthusiastic description of the game shop, it didn't seem to be the case. If it was a game shop owned by a rare card hunter, Joey wouldn't recommend it to him.

With a brimming curiosity, Tokio asked.

" What is the name of the Game Shop? "

" Dream Card Shop. "

" I see... After buying Card Packs from Black Clown and Kame Game Shop, would you be able to point me in the direction of the Dream Card Shop, Katsuya-san? "

" No problem! Anyway, you can call me by my name and you don't need to be polite to me. "

The others butted in the conversation.

" I'm also fine with not being called by my surname. "

" Me too. "

" You're too polite and formal. "

With Joey and others' offer of only calling their names, Tokio rejected it. The others are a little bit dejected about it. Eventually, they arrive at the Black Clown where Tokio starts buying Card Packs.
