CH.123 Waking up to a girl is better than an alarm clock

“Brian, it’s morning. Wake up.” I heard someone calling me as they shook me lightly.

I instantly recognized their voice so I didn’t even need to open my eyes to see who came to wake me up. I got up to a sitting position before opening my eyes. I was a bit afraid of punching her, but Laura helped me use telekinesis to confirm her location.

“Good morning, Alice.” I greeted her before opening my eyes.

She was wearing her maid dress, again. I think the last time I saw her wear it was when she snuck into my room to sleep with me.

“... how did you know it was me? Before you even opened your eyes?” She asked.

“Your voice. It’s not that difficult to recognize. And any of the maids would address me as Lord Brian.” I told her.

“Oh, I see. Then next time I’ll try to change my voice.” Alice decided.

Shouldn’t you go ‘Oh, so you know my voice that well?’. Well then again, we are talking about Alice here. She might not have the tact for that.

“I think you should keep your voice as it is. Even if you can fool me with your voice, there are other things that will give you away.” I told her. Well, most of those things I will only notice after I open my eyes.

“... humph.” She pouted. “You should at least make it seem like I got you.”

“Yeah, you are going to have to try harder than that.” I told her. “So, when will breakfast be ready?”

“We still have some time.” Alice responded.

“Then perhaps you should change. I need to get ready as well.” I said.

“... fine. I will.” She said as she walked out of my room.

... Well, I always say, waking up to a cute girl is 1000 times better than waking up to an alarm clock.

As I was going through my morning routine, I decided to pull open my daily packs. I sacrificed most of my packs to Christina yesterday, so today they will be all for me. Well I might use a Machine Conversion Factory on Christina’s Overdrive or something, but mostly they will be for me.

Oh, yeah. There is also Upstart Goblin and Emblem of Dragon Destroyer. I should activate them as well.

(Master, Emblem of Dragon Destroyer is still on cooldown so you cannot activate it yet.) Laura warned.

(Is it? But it’s the next day. Well, I guess I did wake up kind of late yesterday.) I recalled. (Well, I should still use Upstart.)

I pulled it out and said: “Upstart Goblin,” to activate it.

I looked as the ghostly goblin dropped 5 coins, all of them shining gold.

5 gold coins from Upstart? What are the chances of that?

Well, I won’t calculate that. At least not now. The packs are waiting. And as these ones are all for me, I can choose the sets.

And I want some LoBY today. And maybe some Magic Ruler. And perhaps even some Flaming Eternity. With 14 tokens, I can open 5, 5 and 4 of each. Unless I get a Pot.

Well, anyway. Let’s begin.

Use a ‘Pack token’ to open 1 pack of

‘Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon’[Yes] [No]Spoiler

LoBY 1

Yami, Ray & Temperature, Petit Angel ,Forest, Trial of Nightmare,

Machine Conversion Factory, Root Water, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Flame Ghost

[collapse]

Got a Machine Conversion Factory and a spare Red-Eyes. That’s a great start.

Next.

Spoiler

LoBY 2

Dark Gray, Enchanting Mermaid, Turtle Tiger, Mountain, Petit Dragon, Armaill, M-Warrior #1, Uraby, Fissure

[collapse]

... trash. Well, Fissure is somewhat nice, but I have like 4 or 5 of them already.

Next.

Spoiler

LoBY 3

Mystical Sheep #2, Drooling Lizard, Dragon Treasure, Fireyarou, Larvas, Umi, Vile Germs, Sand Stone, Flower Wolf

[collapse]

More Dragon Treasure. And the rest are basically useless. And I’ve never actually used Dragon Treasure. Perhaps I should install one onto Blue-Eyes. Well then again, I can’t really summon Blue-Eyes on a regular basis, so ... I’ll think about it.

Next.

Spoiler

LoBY 4

Sogen, Violet Crystal, Nemuriko, One-Eyed Shield Dragon, Tripwire Beast,

Uraby, Electro-Whip, Hitotsu-Me Giant, Charubin the Fire Knight

[collapse]

Well, nothing here.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

(Correction. You didn’t have Charubin the Fire Knight, so that could be considered something.) Laura said.

(Well... Yeah, I guess it is better than nothing.) I agreed.

One more LoBY before I change sets.

Spoiler

LoBY 5

But Threatening Roar though. That could be super good if I set it on myself and have an attack targeted at me be the activation condition. It should stun all who try to attack me for a short time.

Well one more before the reprints. GO!

Spoiler

FET 4

Hand of Nephthys, Divine Dragon Ragnarok, Fulfillment of the Contract, Maji-Gire Panda, The Earth - Hex-Sealed Fusion,

Rescue Cat, The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion, Blade Rabbit, Chiron the Mage

[collapse]

Rescue Cat is cute and was used in some decks, but I don’t think it’s great for me. Hex-Sealed Fusions are still nice, even if these are second copies. And Chiron the Mage might be useful as well.

In all honesty, Flaming Eternity didn’t treat me too bad. Not amazing either, but good enough.

Now the reprints. And that shall be Dark Beginning 1. Like always.

Use a ‘Reprint token’ to open 1 pack of ‘Dark Beginning 1’[Yes] [No]Spoiler

DB1 1

Dust Tornado, Numinous Healer, Infinite Dismissal, Curse of the Masked Beast, Soul Release, Toon World, Grand Tiki Elder,

Left Leg of the Forbidden One, Senju of the Thousand Hands, Electric Snake, Shining Abyss, Karate Man

[collapse]

A repeat Exodia piece. Another Senju and Dust Tornado as well. Honestly, not that great. Everything is just ok. Well, one more try.

Spoiler

DB1 2

Jar of Greed, Type Zero Magic Crusher, Backup Soldier, Messenger of Peace, Polymerization, Polymerization, Nimble Momonga,

Dancing Fairy, Bombardment Beetle, Right Arm of the Forbidden One, Invader of the Throne, Cure Mermaid

[collapse]

Another repeat Exodia piece. Double Poly. Dancing Fairy is still good. I think Cure Mermaid should be as well, but I’ve just never used it. Nimble Momonga isn’t that bad either.

But, there is also a Jar. And Jar means another reprint token.

(I’ll use the leftover sleeves from yesterday, so we only need 10 sacrifices.) Laura said to me.

5x Zombie Tiger, 4x Vilepawn Archfiend, Vile Germs

(Thanks Laura.) I thanked her as I pulled out the Jar of Greed in a toploader.

Would you like to consume 1 ‘toploader’ ‘Jar of Greed’ to increase your daily Reprint tokens by 1?[Yes] [NO]

Yes, I want to do it.

Daily Reprint token number increased by 1. Total is now 3.

Perfect. Now I just need to open up one more pack. Let’s go.

Spoiler

DB1 3

Gamble, Mirror Wall, DNA Surgery, Messenger of Peace, Gravekeeper's Servant, Mystic Plasma Zone, Relinquished,

Hysteric Fairy, Jinzo #7, Flying Kamakiri #1, Flash Assailant, Slot Machine

[collapse]

Relinquished. That’s nice. I don’t think I have the ritual spell for it, but I can probably get the spell with Sonic Bird. I might actually be able to go all the way to the first reward of the ritual challenge with all the ritual support I have.

Other than that, everything is just a repeat. Well, I still got a great set of cards today, so no complaining.

I did the rest of my morning routine, before heading to the dining room for breakfast.

“Brian, wait for me.” I heard Alice call me just after I left my room.

I stopped and turned around to see Alice running up to me. She was dressed in a simple green dress today. She must really like green as the dress she wore to our date was also green. Well, that one was a lot more detailed than this one, with all the embroidery.

“Good morning, Alice. Do you want to walk to the dining room together?” I asked her, acting as if she wasn’t the one to wake me up.

“Yes, let’s go together.” She responded. “But why did you say good morning? Didn’t you say that already?”

“Well, maid Alice and miss Alice should be two different people, so I thought I would say good morning again.” I told her in a quiet voice. “You know, just in case someone is spying on us.”

“Oh, I see. But I don’t think anyone would actually tell Father. Or notice the small inconsistency.” Alice said.

“Then I won’t do it next time. Well, I probably will, but do you mind if I say good morning to you multiple times?” I asked.

“No. I like it.” Alice responded.

“Brian, do you have any plans for today?” Christina asked me during breakfast.

“Yes. I need to go see Lucia.” I answered. I haven’t spoken with her in a few days, as I was in the dungeon.

“Can I come with you?” Alice asked.

“Sure.” I answered.

“Yes! Another date with Brian.” Alice got excited.

“This is not a date.” I warned her. “We are making travel plans, not going around shopping.”

“But we are going out together, so it’s a date.” Alice reasoned.

“Well, if you want to call it a date. I just don’t think it is one.” I told her.

“Should I change to a fancier outfit for our date?” Alice asked.

“It’s not a date. It’s adventuring business. So if you do change, make sure it’s something easy to move in.” I told her.

“Sure. I’ll do that then.” Alice responded.

After that, we finished our breakfast in peace.
