Pharaoh

"Actually, I, uh, that, seem to like girls..."

It can be said that the Egyptian king, who was favored by the three thousand pharaohs, lowered his head slightly at the moment, scratched his cheek with his right index finger, and made the above declaration that would definitely make the pharaoh extremely unhappy.

He turned his face sideways, with a slight blush on his cheeks, and his eyes drifted to one side, as if he didn't dare to look at the black-haired boy in front of him.

He struggled to keep his voice steady, trying to look calm.

But the tight lips and the hands that didn't know where to put them at the moment made him look quite nervous to the point of being at a loss.

The chestnut ball on the side spit out a bubble with a very uncooperative puff, dangling around the little master.

Yugi let out a heavy breath, raised his head and exchanged glances with Obelisk, who had been quietly watching him, and immediately looked away unnaturally.

"Don't, don't look at me like this, I have liked girls before... There are also girls who like me!"

The Egyptian prince said with a blushing face, emphasizing the last sentence.

Looking at the uneasy look of his host, Obelisk's quiet eyes showed an indescribable meaning.

His slender fingers caressed the corner of his lips, he suddenly raised his hand, and his fingertips flashed an arc in the air.

The Egyptian prince was caught off guard and let out a cry of surprise.

Because at the moment Obelisk's fingertips drew a circular arc in the air, a girl suddenly appeared in front of the game.

The distance was so close that the girl's fluttering hair brushed Yuyu's cheek.

The heart of the game missed a beat in an instant——

Well, this is just a normal reaction of an innocent boy when he suddenly approaches a woman.

What's more, this girl was once...

"Apricot, apricot?!"

The king of Egypt, who had retreated a few steps in a physical reflex just now, stared at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him with wide eyes, dumbfounded for a moment.

But the instigator who caused the current situation unceremoniously raised his hand to caress the girl's cheek like touching a doll.

The girl's head moved slightly following his movements, but the smiling expression on her face did not move at all, like a living puppet.

"You, how do you know...Xing, Xingzi, she..."

Deep down in his heart, a sense of panic that a secret had been revealed made Yu Yu stutter a little.

His gaze flickered, not daring to fall on the girl's face at all.

"I said that I have integrated all the memories I have stored in the imprint on your soul 3000 years later."

Obelisk took it for granted.

"The me now is the me 3000 years later, and I naturally already know what happened to you at that time."

As he spoke, he looked up and down the girl's appearance.

"Is this the woman you like?"

The Egyptian God of the Earth frowned, with an undisguised expression of disdain on his face.

"I have really bad eyesight."

The king of Egypt, who was pierced by the offensive language of "poor eyesight", was instantly struck speechless.

With a flick of Obelisk's finger, a beautiful priestess with gorgeous beauty, a tall and mature figure, and a lotus-like fatal temptation and enchanting aura appeared in front of the numb Egyptian prince.

"As my host, I think at least we must have such a vision."

"That's just a generation gap in aesthetics! How about a generation gap! Kyoko was definitely a very popular beauty in my era!"

The unbearable game began to clench its fists to defend its own aesthetic point of view.

The aesthetics of the clothes have been hit to the brim, and now he will not back down when it comes to seeing beautiful women!

Well, although he also knew that Kyoko was considered a little beauty in his time, but it did not conform to the aesthetics of the Egyptians at all...

The Egyptian god made a sound of ridicule or mockery, and waved his hand, and the phantom of the girl from the future and the Egyptian priestess disappeared into the air.

The game breathed a sigh of relief.

"This woman doesn't seem to like you?"

The game that had just breathed a sigh of relief was hit hard again.

Did Obelisk play tricks on him on purpose?

Grinding his teeth, the Egyptian king stared at the god of the earth who gave him heavy blows again and again, thinking so in displeasure.

But even though he was very upset, he still had to admit the fact.

"Yeah, Kyoko likes Yatum."

When he said this, there was no extra emotion in the game's voice other than his anger at Obelisk playing tricks on him.

"At that time, I thought, if it was another me, I would never be able to compare, so I gave up."

Saying the above words is very easy and simple, and I don't feel it is difficult to say, but I still have a faint sense of joy in nostalgia for that period of youthful youth.

What was a young boy's first love at the beginning has already fermented into the purest friendship with time.

The shadow of that girl is just one of his best memories of his carefree youth.

It was the sweetness and bitterness of a teenager's first taste of love.

A youthful and beautiful time...

"Xingzi, I really like another me."

Yugi smiled and said so.

When Atum left, he was sad.

It's not just him, everyone is the same, but everyone hides it well in their hearts and doesn't show it.

Only Kyoko never hides... Maybe she can't hide her pain at all.

He doesn't understand how it feels to watch the person he likes disappear before his eyes, but he can see Kyoko's loss and sadness.

Kyoko would sometimes look at him in a daze in the duel arena.

What she saw was another him, he knew it, but never pretended not to know it.

Until Rebecca mercilessly pierced through the thin layer of window paper.

Kyoko finally apologized to him, but she didn't know that he had never been angry because of it.

Maybe even Kyoko didn't realize that every time she looked at him with that kind of gaze, the expression in her eyes was as dead silent and blurred as the sunset that had lost the last twilight.

The expression she looked at him was more painful than anything else...

He wasn't angry.

He loves her dearly, as a friend.

The departed young pharaoh disrupted everyone's lives, as if he had cast an indelible spell between them, even though he disappeared, he still controlled their every move.

He had been terrified of it.

Therefore, he gave up the duel card and the glory of being a duel king.

People are alive, they always have to move forward, and they cannot survive only with memories.

Kyoko can't live in that person's shadow all her life.

As the executioner who sent his closest friend to the underworld with his own hands, the unforgettable sense of guilt may follow him for the rest of his life until he dies.

But, at least let Kyoko, let her—

"Xingzi, the other me is dead, I am not him."

On the night when he quit the dueling world, he said the cruelest words to Kyoko who came to him at that time.

"You'll never see him again," he said.

The young girl didn't answer.

She covered her face with her hands, and tears oozed quietly from between her fingers.

And he just silently watched the girl he once fell in love with and then regarded as a close friend crying in front of him.

It is better to cut through the mess with a cruel knife than to worry about it for a lifetime.

Then, for a long time, Kyoko never saw him again.

Then, he heard from Jouchi that Kyoko went to America.

Then, Kyoko in the United States began to write letters to him, Jouchi, and Honda.

There are many photos in the letter.

He watched the darkness in the girl's eyes in the photo disappear little by little.

Her exhaustion when she was in dance class, the difficulty of learning a foreign language, the joy of dancing with her companions, the nervousness when she stepped on the stage for the first time... In each photo, life in a foreign country is different. The girl who is calm and even busy can be said to be so busy that she is full of vitality like early spring, but her smile is shining brightly.

That girl who loves dancing and is confident, after forgetting that shadow, finally shines her own light again.

She finally found her dream once again.

And then, after a long, long time, the shy girl in the photo sent was accompanied by a young man.

This is the best ending.

He looked at the photos with Jouchi and Honda, and thought happily.

……

"The other me is outstanding, so it's only right that Kyoko likes him so much."

At this moment, the Egyptian prince who recalled the memories of the past said so with a gentle smile.

"Although I did have a vague liking for Kyoko at the beginning, but I gave up after knowing that she liked another me."

Having said that, he couldn't help touching his nose.

"After all, it is impossible to compare with another me."

For a while, he talked about the happy past in his memory, and he once again showed his brainless and dull characteristics. He smiled and happily raised an index finger and continued to gossip about the black-haired boy.

"At that time, I was still thinking about getting the other me and Kyoko together, so I specially arranged a date for them, but the other me was too slow, so I never took the initiative to express...cough..."

At the last sentence, the Egyptian prince who finally turned his head around coughed a few times in embarrassment, and swallowed the remaining half of the sentence back into his throat.

Who is the dull one?

If the Pharaoh whom he accused of being dull was here, he would probably be so angry that he would say the above sentence with an extremely dangerous smile.

And at this moment, the black-haired boy standing in front of Brother Wang who was so dull that he had no bottom line looked at him with a mocking smile.

It was this needle-like gaze that made Yu Yu, who was talking happily to himself, realize how stupid he had said.

For a moment, the face of the young brother Wang flushed red.

He couldn't help distinguishing for himself.

"It's not my fault at all. At that time, it was impossible to think about it."

Even if he also felt that the other person had different intimacy and overprotective behavior towards him, he just blamed it on the fact that they were one body and two souls more than relatives.

As for that aspect...he was a normal boy who had his first love since childhood and also liked to watch pretty girls, and even secretly watched special love action movies with bad friends like those in the city.

No matter how handsome the other guy is, what normal boy would think about the fact that his male friend would like him!

The young prince blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at Obelisk, and continued to moan and defend himself.

"After all, he and I are boys, aren't we? I, I still like girls."

"...Do you feel disgusted?"

"what?"

"If you don't like this, you are not capable of dealing with Pharaoh."

Obelisk's dark pupils looked straight at his host.

"If you feel disgusted, only I can help you leave."

Yu You stared at Obelisk with his eyes wide open, and the other party's beautiful pupils were filled with extremely serious emotions.

The king of Egypt blinked his eyes a few times and laughed abruptly.

"It's impossible to hate anything."

He tilted his head to answer, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"If it's another man... even if it's within the city, he will definitely feel a bit chilly... it should be..."

"But when I think that the target is Atum, I can't hate it anyway."

He said this with a wry smile, with a troubled look on his childish face.

"When I heard their conversation, my first feeling was actually surprise, it was a very, very surprised feeling."

At that moment, he was so surprised that his mind went blank. His thoughts completely stopped for a moment, and his whole body was completely petrified.

However, when I realized it, although I was still surprised, there was a faint sense of joy...

"But certainly not the kind of euphoric feeling of having the same feelings as another me."

The young Wangdi scratched his cheek and explained with some difficulty.

In fact, he also knew that it was not a compliment, but a manifestation of the inherent inferiority of human beings.

"How should I put it... Maybe it's more appropriate to use the word [satisfaction]..."

It's like Rebecca who always pestered him and said she liked him a long time ago.

Although I am sorry to Rebecca, because she is not the type of girl he likes, he just treats her as a younger sister.

But he couldn't deny that he was very proud of the girl's affection for him.

It is a kind of victory-like emotion rooted in the inferiority deep in the human heart and based on the sense of superiority.

As the saying goes, whoever falls in love first loses.

Because from the very beginning, the side that didn't get emotional first has the advantage of winning.

Seeing that Obelisk frowned and looked at him incomprehensibly, but he didn't really understand it, Yu Yu thought for a while, trying to give a more detailed explanation.

"For example, if you—as the god of the earth—"

He pointed to the black-haired boy and said, "Suddenly a miracle appeared and told a very ordinary person that you would take care of him and let him be protected by you as the god of the earth. How do you think that person would react? "

Obelisk's frowning and slender eyebrows moved slightly, as if thinking.

"'Unbelievable' and 'flattered'... that is the idea of ​​the person who is used to being ordinary." The young Wangdi said, "Then, that person will involuntarily have a sense of superiority over others, and he will be very proud because he gets By your favor."

As far as the game is concerned, the other one is very strong, very powerful, and of course, looks much better than him.

Many people adore the other him, like the other him, and he is the same.

And it was precisely because he had been with Yatum all the time that he was able to discover the power of Yatum that could almost be called terrifying.

Moreover, Atum was also the supreme pharaoh who ruled over millions of people in Egypt.

If it weren't for the golden building blocks, there would be no intersection between such a person and an ordinary person like him.

There is a world of difference between them.

This young king who stands at the top of the pyramid and is desired by everyone but not fake, has such feelings for him.

Although he was surprised, he couldn't avoid feeling a sense of pride born of vanity.

If you want to put it more simply, it’s like the feeling you get when you suddenly learn that your favorite super idol who is admired and admired by countless people has always been secretly in love with you——

Even though that idol is gay.

It is absolutely impossible to hate something, most of them are surprised and entangled while feeling elated from the bottom of their hearts.

Just like a long time ago, he always thought that his existence was dispensable. After Olihagang's enchantment incident, he discovered the huge influence he had on Yatum.

The fact that a weak self can control the emotions of that powerful king made him unable to restrain an inexplicable sense of pleasure and superiority from the bottom of his heart.

That feeling is actually somewhat similar to the current situation.

"Even now, although Atum is very important to me, I still think I like girls."

The light purple eyes of the Egyptian king's brother revealed undisguised troubled emotions.

"Actually, it's not that I haven't thought about rejecting this kind of feeling."

There was a hint of panic in that troubled mood.

"But if you refuse..."

What would happen between them if they rejected Atum's affection?

In all fairness, if it was him himself, he couldn't do it if he was rejected by the girl he liked and asked to continue the friendship.Even if he had only a little ambiguous and immature affection for Kyoko at the beginning, he was once alienated because of this.

Then why would he ask Atum to do something that he couldn't even do himself.

He knew very well that if he refused, it would be absolutely impossible for that proud young Pharaoh to continue to maintain the current close friendship with him.

If he refuses, Atum will abandon him, just like he has abandoned his feelings for Kyoko in the past.

The distance between them will gradually grow farther and farther.

Maybe when Yatum finds a new love in the future, there is a possibility that they will become friends again, but that kind of relationship is no longer pure and intimate as before.

And it wasn't just that that made him uneasy.

"Even if it's called selfish..."

You Yu shook his head slightly, his lips tightened a little, and then opened again.

He frowned, showing a very disturbed expression.

"But as long as I think that Yatum will have other people he likes in the future, and there will be people who value him more than me, I will—"

His words were suddenly cut off in half, and he paused for a moment before continuing in a low voice.

"I can't accept that."

Being pampered and spoiled by the young pharaoh has become a deep-rooted habit from the beginning of being flattered.

It's like a sweet and deadly drug addiction you can't quit.

Enjoying and squandering the young king's almost bottomless tenderness and doting towards him has become a matter of course like breathing.

So it's even more unbearable once you lose it.

"I can't stand ... 'Atum doesn't think of me as the most important person anymore' happened."

The young king of Egypt frowned and clenched his hands, repeating his words again.

His slow breathing was somewhat heavy.

Love is an exchange of equal value.

Atum's tenderness and respect for him stemmed from loving feelings.

So if he rejects Pharaoh's love, then he is no longer qualified to ask the other party to treat himself as before.

——You should give as much as you get——

Said Yugi let out a long mouthful of breath that seemed to have been clogged in his throat for a long time.

The frown on his childish face also eased at this moment, and his eyes gradually slowed down, revealing a relaxed look.

Perhaps at this moment, he has already made a decision.

"But in fact, I also have a big problem. I probably won't be able to find a girlfriend in this life, so I just thought that it doesn't matter if I compromise like this."

"After all, I have also said that Atum is my most important person. This point will probably not change even if I find a girlfriend or even get married in the future."

"If Atum needs my help, I will come to him as soon as possible."

Yugi laughed wryly at himself.

"I made a trade-off from the beginning. Isn't it unfair to my wife?"

The chestnut ball spit out a big bubble with a puff, interrupting the game.

Both Yu Yu and Obelisk subconsciously looked at Chestnut Ball.

Obelisk frowned, but Youyou laughed and rubbed the fluffy little chestnut ball that was unwilling to be lonely to attract his attention before retracting his hand.

He looked at Obelisk again, with an extremely serious look on his face.

"Obelisk, in my time, if a boy decided to marry a girl as a partner, he had to make a corresponding promise." He said, "That is a sacred promise, just As sworn to your gods here in Egypt."

"I will swear to love her forever and regard her as the most important existence in my life."

The boy from the future shook his head lightly.

"But I know very well that the most important person to me now is that person. I simply cannot make that kind of promise to a girl."

"So I am not qualified to be the life partner of any of them."

The king of Egypt came to the final conclusion.

"[Regarding it as the most important existence in my life]... I can probably only make such a promise to Yatum."

If Jouchi, one of Youyou's future friends, would have tucked his tongue and said, "Yuyou, it's as if you're confessing, and I'm blushing for you!" ' and so on.

It's a pity that the one beside You right now is an Egyptian god who doesn't know anything about the complex and troublesome emotions between human beings, and doesn't understand what You said at all.

And the king of Egypt, who clearly said such words that made everyone who listened to them blush, was so dull that he was an elm lump and a piece of rotten wood that could not be carved.

At this moment, he lowered his head, his eyes fell on the shining golden ring of the purest golden light tied around his neck by the golden filament.

Only the light of the fine gold ornaments worn by the Egyptian royal family, which is as delicate as a work of art, is allowed to fall into the depths of the violet-hued pupils.

Touching the smooth golden edge with his fingertips, he stared at the ring for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud, shaking his head while laughing.

"Actually, I have said so much and made so many excuses for myself. In fact, it is still because of myself... I am reluctant."

he whispered,

"I like Atum, whether it's his kind of feelings or not, I really like him."

"The reason why I'm here and because I've worked so hard to do so much is because I don't want to see him die, I don't want to see him get hurt."

"I...don't want to see him sad."

He liked the smile of the boy king of Egypt.

Only he can see, only his.

As he once said and did, if it was for Atum, he could even put his own life behind it.

Therefore, it is impossible for his answer to have a second answer from the beginning.

"Since everyone has paid attention to that point, it doesn't matter if my so-called 'like' is love's 'like'."

The king of Egypt gave himself the final answer with a smile.

If the refusal would bring a sad look to that proud boy king's face...

That's not sympathy.

But he will feel distressed.

He was reluctant.

The light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and a hand came overwhelmingly and pressed the whole face on Yu Yu's face.

Just before Yu Yu, whose eyes were suddenly covered and stunned, hadn't reacted, the hand suddenly pushed heavily.

His head was pushed back heavily, and he suddenly lost his balance and took two steps back.

"So, in the final analysis, you are too easy to talk and too easy to bully."

I don't know if it's because I really can't listen to the incomprehensible nonsense of my host or because I'm too angry, Obelisk interrupted the game with a sudden blow.

He looked at his host, with an expression of extreme displeasure on his face, which was exactly the same as his host.

But his host looked at him blinking Violet's pupils a few times, rubbing the back of his head and showing what he called a smirk.

He glanced at him impatiently.

The king of Egypt, who has a childlike soft face and looks easy to bully, still just tilts his head and smiles at him.

The Egyptian God of the Earth looked down at his host for a long time with his head held high in a condescending high posture with an obviously displeased expression, and finally he tilted his head and stopped piercing the host with needle-like eyes.

His eyes moved to the chestnut ball that had been obediently floating beside Yuyu, and he stretched out his hand to it.

The fluffy chestnut ball looked at him curiously with its big round eyes, and made a few puff puffs but did not avoid it.

Rubbing the soft sorrel hair with long, white fingers, Obelisk spoke again.

"Although I don't understand the complex thinking of you humans, but you said so much nonsense, in fact, do you mean 'you plan to become the partner of the Pharaoh'?"

"Ahahaha this..."

The laughter that was forced to avoid embarrassment became smaller and lighter until it almost disappeared. The Egyptian prince buried his head and scratched his cheek with his fingertips uncomfortably.

At this moment, the area above the neck turned into a scalding red steam furnace emitting hot air again.

"It's true to say that..."

He replied in an extremely unnatural voice that was so faint that it was almost weaker than the sound of the wind.

"I have no intention of interfering with your will, I was just curious about one thing before falling asleep."

"Uh?"

"Since I have decided to accompany Pharaoh, then, my host..."

Obelisk turned his face to look at his host, and the corners of his upturned lips showed a smile that was not a smile.

"Do you choose to accompany the pharaohs of the past or the pharaohs of the future?"
