Chapter 3: Ayatsuji Ayase

The morning of her duel with Ikki, Ayase woke up at 9 a.m. After her meeting with him, she’d gone back to her room and immediately fallen asleep. The meeting combined with all of the preparations she’d needed to make ahead of the duel had left her exhausted.

As she blearily crawled out of her bunk bed, she found a letter from her roommate on the bedside table. It read: “You told me not to come see your match, so I won’t. But if there’s something bothering you, know that you can always come to me. You’ve been looking down recently, and I’m getting worried about you.”

“I really am a horrible woman...” Not only had she betrayed her biggest benefactor, but she was also worrying her roommate.

“Will you honestly be happy getting whatever was stolen from you back if it means tarnishing your pride like this?! Will you be able to hold your head high after everything’s over?!”

“Tch...”

Ikki’s words were still ringing in her ears. She was in an awful mental state even though she had an important match she couldn’t afford to lose coming up. She needed to get back into top condition as soon as possible or she’d end up losing to Ikki despite her meticulous preparations. Deciding to use her remaining time before the duel to calm herself down, she started walking to a certain location.

Ayase went to the station next to Hagun Academy and rode the train for about fifteen minutes. She got off at a station next to a pure white building that contrasted starkly with the cloudless blue sky. The sign in front of the building read “Shishido General Hospital.” It was the closest major hospital to Hagun Academy.

Her destination was room 515. She navigated her way through the hospital with ease and opened the sliding door to that room. Inside was a single bed and a small folding chair atop which sat a beautiful middle-aged woman.

The lady turned at the sound of the door opening and said in a surprised voice, “My, if it isn’t Ayase-chan!”

“Hello, Aunt Suzuka.”

“Good morning. Why are you here so early? What about school?”

“I don’t have to go today. Students aren’t obligated to attend classes on days they have a duel, so I thought I’d come here instead.”

“Huh. This new director of yours sure is interesting, what with the selection matches and the new roommate system.”

Ayase’s aunt nodded in approval as Ayase explained yet another one of Kurono’s new policies. She got up and walked over to the bedside.

“Nii-san, your cute little daughter’s come to visit,” she said to the man lying on the bed. His cheeks were gaunt, and his skin cracked. His arms were thinner than a twig. This man who looked more like a mummy than a living person was Ayase’s father, Ayatsuji Kaito.

“Hello, Dad,” Ayase said as she walked over to his bedside as well. However, Kaito didn’t respond. His eyes were closed, indicating that he was in a deep sleep. As he had been for the past two years.
