Get-Along-Well Team on Duel Links (Mostly Elysiumship talks)
CJFKEKD, THEY PUT BBR TEAM ON WAVE DUEL SCRAMBLE ON LINKS. I CANNOT. SO KEWL. 😭😭
Y: "Eeeeh …? Mitsuko-chan is fine, but why is Zuweejou also here? What the heck with these members?"
M: "Maybe it is the 'get-along-well team'?"
Y: "Where the heck is that coming from?! You two, don't you have another friend?!"
Z: "I don't."
Y: "Aah …."
Why are you so fuckin' honest, Zuweeeeee?? You have Mhuda and Dinois though. Even Mitsuko said she had one, but she is busy being a basketball ring somewhere. What is this modus operation??? 🤣
Y: "Haaah …. Then, it can't be helped, but you do understand the rules, right?"
Z: "I don't."
M: "I do not."
Y: "So you don't, huuuh! Huuuh, huuuuh …."
I pity her, but seeing her have to be involved with the BBR duo is so funny. And I really thought about this since watching Elysiumship on Zuwee's event, but he always answered Yua with "I don't/no". Somehow, it looks like he was enjoying making her annoyed, even though I know he is not. LIKE, WHY ONLY HER?? He can just stay silent, duh! They seriously make a good reference from the Festival Queen episode. 🤣🤣

Summary: It was not like Yuamu was a fan of bread, but once, she found this little bread shop.
.

.
.
The doorbell of a small bread shop in the forest was ringing.
“Welcome.”
A flat welcoming voice from a low-toned voice was heard. Oudou Yuamu felt a strange serenity as she found the owner of the voice.
“Hello, Shop Owner. I see the new bread advertisement you put on the town’s bulletin board.”
Yuamu took a tong and a tray as she spoke. Inside her head, she was counting how many breads she should buy for her company employees.
The blond man Yuamu called as the shop owner did not speak any other words, but Yuamu did not even bother. That was just how the man was.
It was not like Yuamu was a fan of bread, but once, she found this little bread shop. The shop did not really have that many customers, but it was one of the factors why Yuamu liked the shop. Also, they did sell the yummiest breads, which was enough to impress Yuamu’s buds of taste.
“Oudou-san, are you sure you're not picking too much?”
Yuamu giggled as the shop owner commented when Yuamu put the tray of breads she picked on the cashier’s table. Recently, the owner started to talk to her even if she did not initiate the talks.
“You're underestimating our Tazaki-san, Mr. Shop Owner.”
“… You're buying these for them again.”
The Shop Owner did not really change his expression, but somehow Yuamu felt like the man was sighing inside his heart. Yuamu just stared at the man as he was packaging the pile of breads that Yuamu brought.
As they started to talk more, Yuamu realized some little things about the man. For example, about how he was not really amused with family talks or how Yuamu value her employees—her family.
“I wonder what kind of family the Shop Owner have.”
“It was only me and my little sister; we don’t even live together.”
Yuamu’s amethyst eyes widened. So he did have one!
“How old is she? She lives with your relatives?”
The Shop Owner smiled a little. He looked back at Yuamu.
“You seem to enjoy talks about siblings, huh?”
Yuamu just laughed dryly. He got her.
“I have no siblings, so I was wondering a lot how it feels to have one.”
She felt embarrassed as she explained herself. Her amethyst eyes were not directed at the man.
“Having one is not always a good thing.” Yuamu’s tension burned down as she heard the comment. Slowly, she looked back at the blond man; he looked unimpressed, but Yuamu caught a small smile on his face. “But it might be a nice thing to have a caring and hardworking family … just like you.”
Yuamu knew the man was trying to flatter her … but somehow, she felt worried about him. A drop of loneliness was definitely painted in his tone. Yuamu did not know much about the man, but she roughly guessed he might feel uncomfortable with his family. Every time Yuamu realized it, she felt bad for the man.
“Shop Owner, how old are you?”
“15.”
“Wow, you’re younger than how you look.”
The Shop Owner just smiled at Yuamu’s rude comment. He then looked back at the cashier machine as he finished his calculation of the breads Yuamu brought.
“That’s the total price. I will give you a discount as you’re my regular.”
Yuamu gasped as she saw the numbers on the cashier machine's display screen.
“1000 yen for this much? You sure the shop won’t go bankrupt?”
“So you don’t need the discount?”
Yuamu quickly pulled out a sheet of one hundred yen and slammed it onto the cashier's table with a big smile.
“Who said that? I will gladly accept it.”
The ship owner smiled in satisfaction, then handed Yuamu a small paper card. Yuamu took the card and looked at it curiously.
“It’s a stamp card. You can get one stamp for a purchase a day. If you collect 8 stamps, you will get one bread of the month for free.”
“Wow! What’s the bread this month?”
“Green curry bread.”
Yuamu frowned.
“You … don’t tell me you make curry bread again even though you hate spicy things. How do you even taste it before putting it on sale?”
“Everything will be okay as long I put the right amount of ingredients.” The shop owner answered with his usual flat face.
Yuamu sighed hard before she smiled in defeat.
“I never ate anything nasty here, so I will believe in your sense.”
“Thank you for your patronage.”
Yuamu put the stamp card in her purse, then took the brown paper bag full of breads she bought after she put her purse back in her pocket.
“Then, I will come back again.”
Yuamu left the store with a smile on her face. She got a big deal today. It might be her lucky day.
Yuamu took her step out of the forest while thinking about the job she should be doing after breakfast. But, in the middle of her thoughts, she realized something.
“I forgot to ask his name again.”
Yuamu sighed.
“Well, nothing can be done. Can just ask another day.”

A/N:
Is that man …? No, I will answer nothing besides the fact that the ship in this series is just like what you guessed. And I will just say this is actually one of the settings I always had in my head.
I put this as a multichapter story, but actually, I planned to just update the stories like a one-shot every chapter so I can just write as how I like. I hope I will post another one of the series in the future though. I did have ideas in my head but finishing it is certainly not an easy one.
I decided to write the story down as I scrolled down my ZuweeYua collection in my gallery and realised my favourite piece was a perfect one to be the cover of the series. Thank you to Sheville Elvie who made the illustration that inspired me to write the story. ✨
Again, Zuwee and his talks about protecting Yuamu. His facial expression changed when he remembered Yuamu telling hIm to protect Yuuhi. I was seriously curious if that was a worry or if he was just feeling complicated because the one he protected now was not Yuamu but Yuuhi, which was different from what he first thought about his mission.
I WAS SERIOUSLY EXCITED WHEN ZUWEE SUMMONED ELYSIUM, SERIOUSLY. Because, well, I see Elysium as a symbol of ZuweeYua's.
AND. FINALLY. NEXT EPISODE TALK.
So the whole ZuweeYua convo was because Zeyet told Yuamu that Zuwee was her fated partner or something.
I seriously do not know how to feel seeing official GR mention them in a romantic way for real. If it was a serious one, of course, I would be happy. But, in the end, it seems that this will end as a joke. Plus, we have Mitsuko, so I was seriously surprised they seriously brought up Zuwee as Yuamu's romance candidate, even if it was just a joke. I will not mention that it would be more natural if they brought up Fisher, even though it was a major Yua ship. They seriously do not seem to have any romantic or deep interaction on the show, especially after the time skip. Of course, Fisher respected Yuamu more than how he respected other characters, but that was all. Do not get me wrong, I also like SukaYua, but it was not like Fisher showing that he would only move for Yua. But Zuwee was following Yuuhi's words because Yua told him to do so.
But, well, so the official noticed that the recent ZuweeYua seemed like they had something more if it showed from people who did not know Zuweejou or Yuamu since the start. I will just prepare my heart not to wish for anything real next episode. It is 100% will end as a joke. 🥲
And I was kind of surprised since they showed Yua blushed at the thought of Zuweejou and not Yuudias. Now I can see that Yuudias was just not her type—it not like Yua was even had the time to think about romance though.
Another Elysiumship Short If Situation Some Years After GR Ending.
Zuwee, once "died" on the battlefield they had since the Sengoku Period, was revived again after some years after Yuudias' reunions with the twins. I will not talk about what happened when he died or how he revived, just imagine crazy plots as you like since I also had my own that was too long to explain.
Anyway, Zuwee was wandering in the town, seeing how the town had changed, but at the same time also felt familiar as some parts stayed the same. Then, he saw a brunette girl who somehow looks familiar, and he was enchanted right then. When he saw the girl's amethyst eyes, he recognised her right away.
It was the same girl he had secretly always wanted to meet and worried about … who had all grown up way better than how he had imagined all this time.
Now, I just want to see that scene when Zuwee saw her face. HAHAHA. 😭💦💦
Yua is always full of confidence; she treats Zuwee as if nothing happened with the man. But, when Zuwee approached her aggressively until Yua could not feign ignorance anymore, she became all flustered as the man looked her directly in the eyes.
That time, she felt it was embarrassing to learn Zuwee always had a direct gaze, and those gazes were directed at her.
Guess I have to drop it since it has been bothering me for a day or two.
Some years after the ending, Yua got thrown into a parallel where Otes Zuwee existed. Just call him Otezu.
Yua, who did not realise she was thrown into another parallel, got anxious as she saw how different Mutsuba City was from what she last remembered. Then, she suddenly got caught by The Darkmen—not the main five darkmen btw. Still not understanding what happened, Yuamu was brought to the headquarters—ValVelgear or Mutsuba Tower, I had not decided. There, she saw him, Otes, with a strangely similar body build to Zuwee, and he even had his hair.
"How was your last ranaway went? I have to admit it took me longer to find you this time, and might be longer, if you don't bring your foot into the city …, Dark Meister."
It was then that Yua was finally sure, she got thrown into a different parallel. That voice, that smirk, and the way Otes called her, Yua could not help but remember his brother when he turned into Otes.
WAAAH, I WANT TO WRITE IT BUT IT MIGHT BE TURNED INTO A DRAFT JUST LIKE MY OTHER FANFICS. HAHAHAHA. 😭
About Moonlight Smile. Did contain OTP talks even though they do not have any interaction on today's episode.
Now, the smile must be referring to the one Zuwee showed after their duel. Anyway, I feel Zuwee's voice was so deep today, but then it became super mild after his talk with Manabu. I did not understand why Kwai said it was only Yuudi who could achieve growth. I think the other Velgearians did also grow too. In my opinion, what was special about Yuudi was that as he could not really have any negative feelings, he would someday be able to and also have a chance to have a big change in his personality and way of thinking according to how things happened. It was just like how Yuuga put a blank space on the Rush Duel system before Neil created Maximum; Otes' ED also did the same to Yuudi.
Now, let's move on to why I said I would talk about my OTP. I seriously could not stop myself from having any shippy thoughts whenever Zuwee used contact fusion. I do not know if Yuuna was also still using it, but at least Yuamu did not use it in her last duel. But it did not mean she would not though. But Zuwee did use contact fusion without any waver whenever he duelled, and Yua was the one who created it. The contact fusion itself was more like a Dark Matter Empire symbol, but as a Yua's slave, I connected it more with her. Just as Blhuair—it was you, not Shabuath, right?—Yuamu was the one who created it, so I also would think of contact fusion as her symbol of growth. This might get too delusional, but I believe Zuwee used contact fusion to show that he was not ashamed of his past serving Dark Meister, and the contact fusion itself was a symbol of power. For Zuwee, power is something important; he was not the one to do something meaningless, so contact fusion was something he took a liking to since it helped much in his duel. Well, yeah, tldr, I just like Zuwee, who shamelessly uses contact fusion that Yuamu created. ✨
About the episode, I did not think those two were dead. But the summary did say it was the aloof space warrior's last duel. I perceived it more like it was Zuwee's last duel as Yuudi's superior—or more like, someone who did things for his countrymen—and he would have a change in how he brought himself next. For example, he might fully understand how to live for himself next. Haha. He did say that as he got a new life, now he would use it for himself, but he seemed like he lost his way as he thought about how to do it. As he seemed so gentle after the duel, he might finally understand what he wanted to do.
Now, moving on, to Asaka and Yua. These two, seriously. LOOK AT HOW YUA TRIED TO CALM ASAKA WHEN SHE SCREAMED AT KAWAI TO MAKE A ROCKET. OMG. I thought it would be only RoviYuna, but AsaYua was also bringing it to the next level of friendship. I like it, GR. You let me have more. 👌🏼✨
Now, I wonder what kind of miracle the twins would made. I just realized on this episode that Damamu could actually just bring them to the moon, but no one thought of it that they chose to finish the rocket instead. As humans have earthdamar, could the miracle next episode be related to earthdamar??
Next—YES, I HAVE NOT DONE YET—about Zuwee. Yes, Zuwee again, but I will connect this one to my HC. I actually believe that Zuwee was not the one to understand himself that much. As he always lived for the war and his countrymen, he did not understand much about what he wanted. And today's episode actually kind of proves that Zuwee did not really understand his feelings that much. Shippy talks again, that was why I believe that there was some possibility that Zuwee would not understand if he likes someone. He might have felt jealous of Yuudi at some point when he reassured Yua and protected her in his stead. HAHAH. 😭 MY SHIP IS SO MINOR, SO LET ME HAVE MY DELUSIONS. Anyway, I believe Zuwee's love language is acts of service. ✨
