"... Due to the destroyed Sarracenia Ant's effect, I added the predatory plant Squid Drosera from the deck to my hand."

"Dream Mirror Nightmare - Neiros, attack directly! The other side, Horn Fang Dream!"

"Uh-huh..." Dilno's LP dropped directly to 800, "I cover 2 cards and the round ends." [Hand cards - Minobese 0, Dilno 4]

"She didn't change the mirror? My turn, draw a card!"

"Are you wondering why I didn't change the mirror?"

"Yes... hmm?"

"Because it's no longer needed!" Minobese said, opening the cover card, "Trap Card, Dream Mirror!"

The light mirror behind Minobes disappeared, and a huge mirror stood between the two of them, with the bright side facing Dilno and the dark side facing Minobes.

"Trap card, Dream Mirror. Choose 1 each of [Holy Light Dream Mirror] and [Dark Dream Mirror] from your hand and deck, and place one of them face-up on your own field area.

The other one is placed face-up in the opponent's field area. I place the Dark Dream Mirror on my field and the Holy Light Dream Mirror on your field. You should still remember the effect of the Dark Dream Mirror.

Now, Neiros has a dark attribute! And your LP is only 800, so you only have two chances to special summon."

"...In the card drawing phase, I discard 1 card in my hand and activate the quick-attack magic card, Double Dragon Scroll! Destroy your Dark Dream Mirror and the remaining cover cards!"

"Don't even think about it!" Minobese opened another cover card, "Counterattack trap card, Dream Mirror Dream Divination! Choose one of the two effects to activate. I choose, there is [Holy Light Dream Mirror] in the field area

exists, it can only be activated when the opponent activates a magic or trap card. That activation is invalid and destroyed!"

"But, the one on your field is obviously Dark...wait, can you tell me?"

"Did you just realize that?" Minobese said with an evil smile, "Although most of the effects of my cards require field magic, they didn't say it was my field magic area!"

"Both sides..." Dilno looked at the huge double-sided mirror between the two of them, "In other words, now, all her effects are unlimited..."

"Okay, it's your preparation stage. Do you still have any operations? When I wait for the main stage, I can free the monsters at will again."

"Of course! In my preparation stage, I activated the effect of the predatory plant Cordyceps sinensis that was just sent to the graveyard..."

"Don't even think about it! Activate the effect of Neiros, the Nightmare Mirror, to negate the effects of the monsters you activate."

"... Entering the main stage. I summon the predatory plant Squid Drosera (2 stars, ATK800→300)! Activate the magic card and fuse! I let the predatory plant Squidward Drosera on the field and the Earth pitcher toad in my hand proceed.

Fusion! A new life is born from the soil, a new sprout, bring me new possibilities! Fusion summon, a new beast, a predatory plant, pineapple, insectivorous grain spirit, wandering whale (5-star fusion, ATK1000→500)

! Activate if this card is successfully fusion summoned. I will fuse the Predator from the deck into my hand! The effect of the squid sundew sent to the graveyard will place predator counters on all the specially summoned monsters on your field.

And all become 1 star!”

The four monsters on the Minobese field were all bitten by strange little flowers and plants.

Dream Mirror Apostle - Neloy (3 → 1 star, ATK1500), Dream Mirror Holy Beast - Phantasos (4 → 1 star, ATK1400), Dream Mirror Girl - Ikelos (1 star, ATK500)

, Dream Mirror Nightmare - Neiros (10→1 star fusion, ATK3500).

"I don't want to keep this disgusting thing any longer! First of all, because of the effect of the field magic Dark Dream Mirror, you will suffer 300 points of damage!"

Dilno's LP dropped to 500.

"My monsters, all liberate themselves!" The four monsters on Minobese's field all turned from light to dark, and from dark to light, "Come out, Dream Mirror Demon - Neiros (10-star fusion, DEF3000→

3500), Dream Mirror Demon-Iclos (1 star, DEF0→500), Dream Mirror Rebel-Neloy (3 stars, DEF1000→1500), Dream Mirror Demon Beast-Fantasos (4 stars

, DEF900→1400)! Don’t forget, they can also liberate themselves and then special summon their light attribute side from the deck. Even if it is a predator fusion, what’s the use?!”

"Neroy's ① effect, activated when this card is successfully summoned or special summoned, add 1 [Dream Mirror Apostle-Neroy] from the deck to your hand. After that, you can turn this card into

Light properties.”

"Activate the ② effect of Ikelos again, liberate myself, and special summon the Dream Mirror Girl - Ikelos (1 star, DEF500→1000) from the deck. In this way, I have a monster to be liberated, the Dream Mirror Demon

-The ② effect of Neiros is activated! Destroy your pineapple insect-eating Corn Spirit Wandering Whale!"

Dilno looked at his empty field, with the predatory species fusion in his hand having no effect, and could only say helplessly: "The round is over..."

"My turn! Give him the final blow. Dream Demon Mirror Demon-Neiros changes to attack position (10-star fusion, ATK3500)! Direct attack! Three Thousand·Big Dream World!"

"Uh-huh..." Dilno's LP dropped to 0.

"Although my duel strength is not strong. But, do you want to know how I became the 8th general of the Black Flame Organization?! This is something only those who lose to me are qualified to know. Don't worry, I am

I won’t let you die.”

"Tell me about it." Dilno, who fell to the ground, stared at Minobese with firm eyes, "But as long as I have breath left, I will definitely grow like a growing plant... to the point where I can defeat you.

!”

"Minos and I have extremely rare physiques. Through the doctor's research, even if we are not demigods, the power of duel elves can be integrated with mine!" Minos raised her hand, and the dream of light and darkness was in her hands.

Gathering, "The reason why I say I won't let you die is because I will let you fall into an eternal dream! False..."

"Uh..." Minobese shuddered, "What a bad luck, is today's time coming...if she comes now."

Minobes turned around and ran away, leaving only Dilno who was beaten to the ground and whose eyes were still shining.

"This little girl is actually the 8th general of the Black Flame Organization. [Twin]...according to those weird words she said before. Could it be a special dual personality? She is so heavy... Fortunately, she didn't intend to

She killed me directly, but wanted to show off her ability to torture me. Otherwise, I would have died just now... Teacher, I will definitely grow up. Save you..."

Dilno just lay on the ground. Behind her, the volunteers and the troops coming out of the factory were still fighting.

————

In the factory, Starr passed the documents and photos one by one through the camera on the communicator and asked Endikol to transcribe them.

"Very good, very successful. You can retreat, Starlight Hero."

"No, I still want to destroy this place! Rescue those children."

"Did you solve it alone?"

"It seems that someone is attacking from outside. There are not many guards here now. I can do it!"

"Someone is attacking? Well, okay. Do what you want."

"I obey!" Starr's eyes filled with fighting spirit, "Finally I don't have to endure it anymore!"

Starr started the duel disk: "Come out, Huang of Holy Night...still refuse to pay attention to me? Why, you have been fighting with me for so long before, but since I revealed the name of Starlight Hero, you

He just ignored me all the time. Sigh..."

Starr gave up his plan to summon the Holy Night's Brilliant Dragon to help him destroy this place, and went to where the children were kept.

"Go to sleep!" Starr quietly came up behind the guard, grabbed his throat with a sneak attack, locked his head tightly, and hit the wall hard several times, knocking the guard unconscious.

"Does the handprint unlock it?" Starr pressed the unconscious guard's hand on the door lock, opened the cell door, then pulled a bunch of keys from the guard's belt, and began to open the cells in the cells one by one.

wicket.

"Thank you..." "Mom, I miss you so much..." "Dad..." "Brother, I miss you mom..."

"Okay, okay." Starr calmed the children just like he did when he was in the orphanage. "Don't cry yet. Big brother is here to take you home. Be obedient and wait for me to take everyone home."

Rescue them all. Come here, watch the door for me, and shout 'help' if anyone comes."

"Okay!" The largest boy named by Starr immediately stood at the door and helped Starr look out.

…

After a while, Starr finally let the children out.

"A total of 50 rooms were opened, and 18 were empty. Except for one room with only three children, the others were all occupied by 10 children. That is, 313 children were rescued... In other words, even if not counting more

Earlier, those beasts had killed at least 187 children..."

"Big brother..." A little girl tugged at the corner of Starr's clothes, "My brother was just taken away, please, save him..."

"And Avis." "My brother." "Brother Vidocq who keeps telling me stories."

…

As the little girl spoke, the children began to cry uncontrollably, begging Starr to save those children whose lives and deaths were unknown and had been taken away before.

"..." Starr gritted his teeth. If he went to save those children now, something might happen to the children in front of him.

"...I'm sorry, I can't leave you alone..." The words Endikor said when he was training him echoed in his mind.

"In a situation where there are two options, my suggestion is to choose the one with better returns. To use an inappropriate analogy, a scale on a volcano has 80 trapped people on one side and 5 seriously injured people on the other.

Starlight, if it were you, which side would you choose to save? Oh, don’t ask how they are balanced, the pallets are of different weights."

"...I don't know, whichever side you choose, there will be victims."

"I will choose the side with 80 trapped people." Endikor said, "80 is greater than 5, which is an obvious elementary school math problem. It is not worth giving up more trapped people just for a few seriously injured people, even

You will also be in danger. Sacrificing those few and saving more is the right choice."

"...Is this so?"
