In Amber's view, a Deck might indeed be expensive—yet she never expected it to be that expensive.
Thirty million Mora was simply outrageous.
It was an amount an ordinary family couldn't afford even if they sold everything they owned.
While Amber was still stunned by the price...
"I'll take one. However..."
"I can only bring you the money tomorrow," Kaeya said with an awkward grin.
"No problem. Here's the Deck."
Luya casually pulled a Random Theme Deck from his Inventory and handed it to Kaeya.
"Hahaha, Boss, you're really not afraid I'll run off without paying?" Kaeya raised an eyebrow with a smirk.
"Of course not."
Luya wasn't worried at all.
With the system's help, anything sold would automatically pull the payment once the time limit passed. If Kaeya didn't pay after a while—
Luya wasn't sure what might happen to him.
Kaeya happily took the Deck. Just like Klee earlier, he immediately tore it open.
His hands trembled slightly, gripping the Deck as though it were everything he had. As he opened it, a wave of freezing cold surged out, lowering the temperature in the shop.
Amber shivered.
From within that icy aura, a massive dragon of shimmering blue slowly emerged.
Its appearance resembled a brilliant star in the night sky—dazzling and awe‑inspiring.
Its body gleamed with frost‑forged scales, glowing with a cold, mysterious radiance, as though a divine being had descended from a distant realm of ice and snow.
The dragon's eyes carried an ancient, overwhelming majesty. Its enormous wings stirred faintly, bringing not only a chill wind but also an oppressive pressure that made breathing difficult.
Every scale looked vividly alive, as though whispering tales of former glory.
[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier] Level 9│WATER│Dragon│ATK 2700 / DEF 2000
Kaeya gazed at his [Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier], joy flooding his heart.
In that moment, he felt—
These thirty million Mora were absolutely worth it.
Even Diluc and Klee, who had already entered the screening room, were drawn over by the sudden commotion.
Seeing Kaeya's monster, a fleeting desire to duel flashed through Diluc's mind.
Diluc sighed.
At this rate... Kaeya and I will inevitably face each other someday.
Thinking back to their last battle—it had been many years. Their unresolved feelings and conflicts... it was time they ended.
Before he realized it, Diluc's expression grew solemn.
Klee had met Diluc once or twice. To her, he was simply a strange adult—always looking unhappy.
"Mmm... why doesn't he like smiling?~" Klee muttered as she stared at his gloomy expression.
Hearing her mumbling, Diluc gave her a gentle smile.
But when Klee saw it, she actually felt a chill run down her spine.
Noticing Klee's discomfort, Kaeya quickly stepped into the screening room.
The moment she saw him approach, Klee finally relaxed.
Kaeya was always the one who helped clean up after her mishaps—his presence calmed her instantly.
...
"Amber, you should go watch too," Luya said with a smile to the dazed Amber.
Amber snapped back to reality, nodded, and hurried to find a seat.
She looked around the screening room.
The massive screen dominated the center wall, its clarity surpassing even the 4K displays of Blue Star.
"Shopkeeper, it's just a pitch‑black screen..."
"What are we supposed to watch?" she asked in confusion.
"Hahaha, sit tight... the screening starts now!"
Then—
Luya activated the playback for the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime inside the screening room.
