Yukikaze's Initial SR Card Story 2

[gyaxa]

Yukikaze: Malice of the Guardians. Usually shortened to MotG.¹

It's a pretty old physical card game, but it's still popular even today.

Liguang: Hm… rare to see physical paper media these days. But why do you have it framed? Don't you need it for the game?

Yukikaze: These cards also make a fun collectible.

I like collecting rare cards too. Like ones you don't see on the market too often, or ones with special illustrations or effects.²

The particularly rare cards can get pretty expensive, and there are fakes on the market too. This one's been verified as legitimate.

Liguang: So similar cards can have different values. How expensive do they get?

Yukikaze: Let me think… some of the very rare cards can run you millions of yen.
 

Liguang & Sojun: ?!

Yukikaze: MotG's been around for a while, after all. It's pretty common to see first generation cards priced that high.

Liguang: Kamina… Don't tell me you…

Yukikaze: Of course, I don't own any of those. I just like the illustration for this card. It's not that valuable, either.

Liguang: … That so.

Still, your collection must mean a lot to you. I'll be careful around your cards.

Yukikaze: Thank you.

Ah, would you like to join me for a round? I have several decks put together for games, and I can teach you the rules.

Liguang: Ah, sorry, but I have some business to attend to soon—
 

Yukikaze: … Oh. That's too bad.

Liguang: … Sojun.

Sojun: … Understood. Please allow me to join you.
 

Yukikaze: Of course, thank you for joining me. Let's start with what all the cards do—

Liguang: (... That's a happy look alright. I never would've guessed he had this side to him.)
