Lancers' Galleon

Grounded

As disappointed as they were in the boys for drinking, Yusho and Yoko couldn't help being curious about the boat they'd bought. They hadn't seen the photos, as the cameras hadn't been pointing at Yugo's duel disk or Reiji's computer screen, so they didn't know what it looked like. They honestly thought Reiji was drunkenly exaggerating and the Yuya was misremembering when they called it a pirate ship.

So when the four Yuus were eating their breakfast, Yusho asked, "So about your boat. Do you guys remember where you bought it?"

The boys' eyes widened, and they all began talking at the same time. It took Yusho and Yoko a few moments to figure out that they were begging them not to make them get rid of their boat. Yusho shook his head, "I'm not going to make you get rid of it. I just want to see it. I'm curious about what it looks like."

The boys all relaxed and Yugo pulled out his duel disk. "I have it saved in my bookmarks," he said, pulling up the advertisement which now marked the galleon as sold. He showed the photo to Yusho and Yoko, whose jaws dropped.

"That's... that's an actual pirate ship..." Yoko said, eyes wide. Yusho put his head in his hands. "I thought you guys were exaggerating," he said weakly. "I was picturing maybe a sailboat that you guys drunkenly thought was a pirate ship. But you guys bought an actual pirate galleon!"

"You promised you won't make us get rid of it!" Yuya reminded him, eyes wide. "You promised!"

Yusho groaned, then sighed, "We're not going to make you get rid of it. But how much did it cost?"

"A little less than 13 and a half million yen?" Yuri replied. Yusho and Yoko both made sounds akin to geese being strangled as they stared at the boys. After a few moments, Yoko shook her head. "Okay, no. It was bad enough that you boys decided to drink sake when you're not old enough to legally do so. But spending that much money on a pirate ship? No, you boys are in serious trouble! We're not going to make you get rid of your pirate ship that you sank your entire allowances into. But you four are grounded for the foreseeable future!"
