Pharaoh

"Dark Knight Gaia attacks."

The 200 life points in the city are reset to zero.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh~~ I lost again, it's only a little bit away~~~"

The lost tall boy hugged his head and howled like a wolf, looking at his opponent with only 300 health points left with resentful eyes.

"Small your size, you can't even see the game!" Kyoko, who mercilessly punched Jouchi in the head, turned around and complained: "You really can solve this guy more simply, right? ?”

"Ok?"

The boy who was named had a child-like face, and his smiling eyes became even more adorable when he curved his eyes.

"No, the city is also very strong."

"Look, the game said so, I'm only a little behind him~~"

In the city that was still sluggish and squatting in the corner after being hit by Kyoko, it regained its youthful self-confidence.

"Game, you..."

Xingzi pressed her forehead with a headache.

Really, when can her childhood sweetheart's soft personality be changed?

Even when playing duel monster cards, he never chases people hard, and wins every time in an extremely gentle way, which creates the illusion that those who duel with the game have only a little bit to win , the final result is repeated challenges again and again.

Alas, if it wasn't for the other game's duel being decisive and ruthless enough to scare off a large number of people, I'm afraid the people who come to the game to duel every day would be even more annoying.

She was depressed here, and Shiuchi, who had already cheered up, shifted her gaze to Yugi's left hand.

"Yu Yu, the style of your bracelet is quite special."

"This? Here's another one I bought."

"It turns out that another game likes this style? Hmm~~ I haven't seen this new style before, game, take it down and let me have a look."

"Wait, wait a minute, within the city, this bracelet can't be pulled so hard!"

Click──

The silver bracelet was unbearable to be pulled by a careless boy, and it snapped into two pieces.

The strong wind blew and rolled up the dead leaves.

In the silence, Yu You held his broken bracelet in two, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Within the city! Look at the good deeds you have done!"

The girl's iron fist hit the boy's head once.

"You game, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it! I'll buy one to compensate you!"

"There's only one of this style left..."

He held his broken bracelet and sighed.

And another one that he really likes this bracelet.

"Wow~~ What should I do then? I'm really sorry, game."

Shi Nei shrank his body, lowered his head and folded his hands together.

He couldn't help laughing at the pitiful appearance of his friend curled up tall and desperately apologizing.

"never mind……"

He had only spoken halfway, when suddenly his eyes dimmed.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had returned to the room of my heart at some point.

"another me?"

He looked at the other him who suddenly appeared on his own initiative outside in confusion.

It stands to reason that when there are no challengers or troublesome things, the other him will never take the initiative to occupy his body.

Obviously, Kyoko and Jouchi also noticed another appearance of him.

"In the city, didn't you always want to duel with me?"

"Hey hey?~~~ Another game you are willing to duel with me? It's because I have become stronger, right."

The other game was neither wordy nor explainable, and simply opened the duel disc.

So Jouchi, who finally got his wish, also happily opened his own duel disk.

"The red-eyed black dragon attacks the black magician girl──" (Attack 2400VS Attack 2000)

The black magician girl was eliminated.

"Hey~~ I'm sorry, game."

Luckily, Jouchi, who summoned the strongest monster, the red-eyed black dragon, rubbed his nose proudly not long after the opening. He couldn't believe it, but he was the first to blow up 400 points of health in another game.

Sure enough, I have become stronger~~ I have become very powerful~~~

He was moved and thought to himself, completely oblivious to the cold snort of the handsome young man opposite him.

"Summon the Black Magician!" (Attack 2500)

"Huh? So fast?"

"Use the magic card 'Resurrection of the Dead' to resurrect the black magician girl!"

"Heh heh heh—"

"Activate the magic card 'Brainwash'! This round the red-eyed black dragon becomes my monster!"

"Wooah~~~My red-eyed black dragon~~~~"

"Using the red-eyed black dragon and the black magician girl as sacrifices, activate the magic card 'Chaos Black Magic Ritual'."

"Isn't it?~~~"

"The Dark Magician of Chaos is coming!" (Attack 2800)

"Wait, wait a minute, game──"

"Currently my health is lower than yours, so I successfully activated the magic card 'Attack Huge', and the chaotic black magician's attack power doubled!" (Attack 5600)

"..."

"Chaotic black magician attack!"

"Help ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Another game VS Jonai.

Less than 1 minute.

The city was instantly killed.

"Ben, Honda..."

"What, what's the matter, Kyoko."

"Another game, is, is it that you are in a bad mood right now?"

"Look, look and see."

"Me, me, we want to persuade?"

"...you go, I'll cut off the queen."

"...I think even if we don't go up to the city, we can still feel the encouragement of our friendship."

"Do you want another game, within the city?"

This is a young king who is still angry and wears his coat into a cloak, with a tall and straight figure, fluttering corners of his clothes, and a handsome face.

"The other me, let me out!"

This is the original owner of some dumbfounding body that currently resides deep in the chambers of the heart.

"Humph."

So a certain cool brother who was unwilling but still didn't want to offend his partner snorted coldly, and obediently went back to his room.

"...Game, I thought I would never see you again..."

The once passionate young man who was bombarded to death within a minute looked like he was dying, and tremblingly stretched out his hand to his friend.

That miserable expression made the boy who had just exchanged with another self have black lines on his face.

"It's just that I lost the duel. As for such a look of dying?"

Kyoko, who couldn't stand watching from the sidelines, said angrily.

"But just now I really thought I was going to be killed!" Shirouchi hugged his petite friend and asked for help, "Help me, game, another game must still be angry, the only one who can save me is is you!"

"I can't help it, within the city." After feeling another undisguised anger in the room of his heart, he also had a headache and was embarrassed, "The other one I really like that bracelet that was broken by you..."

"I can have the bracelet fixed! Soon!"

"Uh, that should be fine."

Although the other one had shown a special preference for silver bracelets before, he did not expect the other one to be so fond of this bracelet.

Alas, I hope Jouchi can repair the bracelet as soon as possible.

He also didn't want to see another look that made him unhappy.

Before school ended in the afternoon of the second day, Jouchi carefully returned the repaired bracelet to him.

"Yi, I'm relying on you, remember to intercede for me."

He closed his eyes and tried to talk to the other him, but couldn't make contact.

"In the city, the other me seems to be resting now. I will tell him when I go back at night."

"please!"

Jouchi, who had been greatly shadowed by another game's merciless attack yesterday, clasped his hands again.

Woohoo~~ He never wanted to experience the horrifying feeling of being chased and beaten by another game.

After saying hello to Xingzi, he rushed home excitedly.

The other one would be happy to know the bracelet was repaired.

He thought, walking more and more easily.

Suddenly, a few playful children on the side of the road rushed towards him. He subconsciously dodged, stepped on a brick on the side of the road, and immediately tripped to the ground.

"it hurts……"

With a bitter face, he rubbed the knocked knee and got up. The child who caused trouble had already run away with a smile.

Forget it, I wasn't hurt anyway...

Ahhhhhh──

He lay on the ground and stared wide-eyed at the bracelet that fell into the sewer and was washed farther and farther.

Another one of my bracelets ahhhhhh──

It’s over.

Another one I'd be pissed off about.

Must be very, very angry.

Thinking of the miserable appearance in the city the day before, for a moment, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Hello, buddy."

"Wait a minute, I'm so hungry, let me eat first!"

"Partner, you..."

"I want to watch the animation, I'll talk about it after I finish it!"

"……partner……"

"I'm going to take a shower!"

"Partner……"

"I didn't finish my homework!"

"..."

"My that--"

All night, he racked his brains for ways to find excuses to avoid conversations with his other self.

Although I know that sooner or later it will be a dead end, but I can delay it for a while.

He thought so dejectedly.

As night fell, he climbed into bed tremblingly as if on the execution ground.

Although he tried his best to hold back his drowsiness, he still couldn't resist the attack of the Sandman and fell asleep.

So in sleep he had to go back to the room of his heart.

Unavoidable, he could only watch as the other man slammed open the door of his room, cornering him.

"Partner! Why are you avoiding me!"

The boy who had exactly the same face as him but was much taller than him pressed his arms straight against the wall, using his body to create a narrow prison to imprison him.

Being oppressed by the opponent with his height in the corner of the room, he had no way to escape.

He bowed his head guiltily, not daring to look at the other person's face.

"Partner, are you angry?"

I'm angry?

No, no, I'm afraid you'll be angry.

"Because I treated Jouchi so much yesterday, are you angry?"

It's good to teach him a lesson... I know the other me, you like that bracelet very much, it's your own fault in the city.

But the other me, your momentum yesterday really scared many people, let alone the city, Kyoko Honda and the others...

"I just like that bracelet very much. Whenever I get angry..."

I know you love that bracelet, that's why I'm avoiding you.

I don't want to become like Jonai!

"……partner……"

Not anymore!

To die is to die!

"I'm sorry, the other me! The bracelet was already repaired in the city, but I accidentally fell on the way home at night, and the bracelet fell into the sewer and was washed away! I'm sorry, the other me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I know It's all my fault! I don't expect you to forgive me, so if you want to beat me or scold me, please do whatever you want!"

With the momentum of swearing to death, he spit out the cause and effect in one breath, and suddenly felt a sense of relief all over his body.

Ahh, I finally said it.

He thought so in a self-defeating mentality, holding his head and closing his eyes tightly, his whole body tensed up, waiting for another burst of his anger.

The moment someone grabbed his wrist forcefully, he couldn't help but froze.

Even if you are prepared to bear the anger of the other party, you are still afraid when you are afraid.

That hand pulled his whole body over, and he fell into the opponent's arms.

The other one hugged him tightly, and the other hand fell on his face, and then fell on his arm the next second, as if he was looking for something on him.

He opened his eyes strangely and uncomfortably.

"……another me?"

"Partner, where is the injury?"

The other one looked at him, his handsome face was tense at the moment, looking terrible.

"what?"

"Didn't you say you fell down?"

"...It seems to have been said."

"Did you fall hard? Are you injured? Are you uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Uh... no injuries..."

The other party babbled a lot of questions, making him at a loss for a while, and it took him a long time to subconsciously answer this sentence.

"That's good."

The other party was obviously relieved by his answer, and the tense and scary face relaxed, returning to his usual calm look.

The other isn't he mad about the bracelet?

Is he worried about me?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling more and more guilty.

"The other me, I'm sorry..."

"Ok?"

"That bracelet..."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I lost that bracelet you liked..."

"I just found out about this. But why did my partner apologize?"

"Ah? Because, because the bracelet..."

"It has nothing to do with the bracelet."

"what?"

Blinking his eyes, he felt completely lost in his other way of thinking.

Isn't it natural to apologize for losing another thing he likes?

What is an apology?How could it have nothing to do with the bracelet.

"Apologizing is a way of talking to extinguish the other party's anger."

Because of his height, he had to look up to see that person's face.

His large light purple eyes blinked in confusion, as he didn't quite understand the meaning of that sentence.

"I'm not angry."

said the man, cupping his face gently in outstretched hands.

"I'm not going to be mad at my partner."

He raised his head and looked into the man's dark violet pupils.

That person's proud eyebrows and eyes were carefully restrained from the usual sharp edge at this moment.

"No matter when, no matter what happens, as long as I am a partner, I will not have the slightest complaint."

said the man, bowing his head.

His forehead, gently sticking to his forehead.

The tip of the nose almost touches.

You can almost feel the temperature of each other's breath.

"So, no matter when, my partner doesn't need to apologize to me."

The man smiled at him.

The pupils of deep violet hue melt into the softest arc.

"For me, there is nothing more important than a partner."

-

He woke up.

Because the dream has come to an end.

He opened his eyes.

In the darkness, what he saw was an ancient and strange ceiling.

His nose suddenly became sore.

He almost thought that his dry eyes would shed tears like this.

Tired of looking at the ceiling full of intricate patterns, he turned his head to the side, and the person sitting on the edge of the bed seemed to have sensed something, and turned his head just in time.

He saw the impassive face of the young Pharaoh.

He suddenly remembered the dream just now.

In front of me, the young Pharaoh's eyes are as beautiful as burning flames with crimson pupils...

It was the coldness that completely contradicted the gentleness in the deep violet-toned pupils of the person in his dream.

spanning 3000 years

I found you.

But I don't know.

You, are you.
