Summary:

Strong Jukyu explains girls to Yusa Shoma, the one way the Duel-for-brains will understand.

Let's have a proper date next time.

All Yusa heard: "Let's duel again!"

Kuroda bled at the mouth (actually the stage blood he counted on to fake realistic Life Point damage), demoralized to the depths of demoralization his too-pure-for-some-hick sister saw anything in Yusa Shoma.

And her opponent…Well, he was a nincompoop among nincompoops.

It was Black and White Potan from her overt advances that Tsukiko was after more than just a Duel. Except to Long-Haired with Orange Streaks himself, yep yep.

"I know a thing or two 'bout girls."

"Can you enlighten me, Strong-kun? No…Can you enlighten me, Lord of the Storm?"

His fatty of a friend grinned cockily. "Dude, ya hafta read the signs!"

"Read the signs? But I'm already fluent in Attributes! Multiplying G is EARTH! God Phoenix Gearfried is FIRE!"

"Not those signs!"

"Then which? ATK and DEF? Level Stars?"

Was this how Shoma functioned? "It's time to D-D-DD-DDDDDD-DUEL!", all the time?

"You're Black Magician 'n she's Black Magician Girl."

"Me and Tsukiko-chan are master and apprentice?"

"Wait, bad example. It's like 'er Ritual Church card!"

"So who's the Ritual Monster?"

"The bride 'n groom, Shoma! I'm talkin' 'bout the bride 'n groom in the card art!"

"Ohhhhh!"

Finally!

"I don't get it."

Strong thought he'd pierced through, when it was Shoma's cluelessness tanking the dialogue.
