Chapter 48: The Body Looks Like a Child, but the Mind Is Far Better than that of an Ordinary Person
My name is Hayato Kobayashi, a high school duelist who has defeated countless powerful opponents in the past.
However, in order to stop an evil will, I was dragged into an unprecedented dark game.
When I woke up, I was a child! ?
"It doesn't matter that his body has become smaller, but his mind is still that of a high school duelist. He can still beautifully defeat the dark duelist that even adults are helpless to do. This is the duelist Hayato!" Hayato said confidently, "There is only one truth!"
"Oh oh oh oh, it's so amazing!" Regarding Hayato's speech, the girl sitting in front of him applauded, "However, I always feel that it sounds a bit inconsistent. It's Meliamon. Where else did you come from? Did you hear that?"
"Who knows about that kind of thing." Hayato spread his hands and looked at the girl in front of him and said, "But I have explained it many times. I am not that Meliamon. My name is Kobayashi Hayato. I don't know. Why are you here?"
There was a helpless expression on the girl's face: "But even if you say so, aren't you still Meliamon? I don't understand it at all~"
Looking at the girl who was being cute towards him, Hayato covered his forehead helplessly, looking like he had a headache.
Ever since he followed Yami Yugi and Tairiura into the King's Memory Slate, Hayato came to this world because he was dragged into the dark game by Tairiura, and met the girl in front of him who seemed to be called "Nefertari" Come and wake up yourself named "Meliamon".
Hayato, whose knowledge of ancient Egypt basically comes from playing cards, has basically no memory of these two names. Although he always seems to have heard such names somewhere, Hayato finally attributed it to the big difference in the format of Egyptian names. Not bad, there is always something similar, so I will forget about it for now.
After entering this world, Hayato's body changed into that of a child, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that before entering the dark game. It was as if he existed in a rejuvenated state, but he was named "Nefertari" But the girl repeatedly insisted that "Meliamon" had always looked like this.
No matter what Hayato said, the girl always insisted on this, and Hayato couldn't resist her, so he just let her call him "Meliamon".
In addition to the changes in his body, of course, Hayato did not bring anything he had put on his body after entering this world. Whether it was the duel disk or the [Millennium Artifact], it seemed that they were left outside, but Hayato had brought it beforehand. Leave the duel monster card in the system warehouse.
However, after Hayato took out the card and checked it, he found that the card elves who had been noisy in the past were unusually quiet. If Hayato could not clearly feel that the elves were sleeping in the cards, Hayato might have thought that they had not been able to enter. this world.
However, it doesn't seem to make any difference when they follow up, because Hayato doesn't know how to wake them up.
"Hey hey hey..."
Looking at Hayato who looked troubled, Nefertari laughed, which made Hayato glance at her, "What are you laughing at, Nefertari?"
"Because it's strange to see Meliamon with a very troubled expression on your face. Normally, no matter what kind of problem you are, you can't be troubled. Even if you are troubled for a moment, you can solve it quickly." Nefertari smiled. She said, but with a smile, she also showed a puzzled expression, "But, it's so strange, I always feel like I have forgotten something."
"What's going on..."
As she spoke, Nefertari looked out the window and said, "Oh, that's right, the ceremony is about to begin!"
"Oh, no! I'm obviously here to call Meliamon, but now I seem to be late!" Without any explanation, Nefertari grabbed Hayato's hand, dragged him to get up and ran outside. "Hurry up, we're almost too late!"
Without resisting, Hayato was dragged away by Nefertari in a cooperative manner, asking: "Hey, don't be so anxious, Nefertari. What ritual makes you so anxious?"
"Really, Meliamon, have you overslept? Today is the ceremony for Pharaoh's enthronement. Most people can only meet him once or twice in their lifetime. If we don't hurry up, we will have to stand still. It’s so far away that even Pharaoh’s appearance can’t be seen clearly.”
Hearing Nefertari's words, Hayato couldn't help but have a thoughtful expression on his face. If there are no exceptions, whether it is Yami Yugi, Tapirao or Hayato himself, since the three of them were dragged into the dark game launched by Tapiryo, they should have started at the same point in time. It is impossible for someone to enter the market ten years early.
So according to this idea, the pharaoh who ascends the throne today is probably————
Opening his eyes, Yami Yugi was a little confused.
He remembered that a moment ago, he used the three God Cards lent by Hayato to open the slate leading to memory. His soul, which had been confined in the [Millennium Building Block], detached from Aibo's body and sank into the slate, and then in the tunnel In the space like this, there seemed to be a dark force sweeping past him.
Immediately afterwards, he left the tunnel of memory and appeared in the sky, overlooking the earth. The scenery captured at that moment was enough to let An Yuxi know one thing, that is, he seemed to have arrived in ancient Egypt, and then After falling from the sky, he suddenly woke up at this moment, as if all his previous experiences were just a dream.
An Yugi raised his head slightly dazedly and looked in front of him. At this moment, An Yugi was so surprised that he was speechless and almost stopped thinking.
What did he see?
At this moment, Yami Yugi seems to be standing on a lookout. The lookout itself is made of stone, finely polished and beautifully carved. It is not cheap at first glance, but the important thing is not the lookout, but the scenery below.
I saw a dense crowd crowding below, crowding everywhere An Yuxi could see. The crowds were rubbing shoulders and looking up at An Yuxi standing on the high platform, shouting in unison, "Pharaoh! Pharaoh!" "
This made Yami Yugi subconsciously repeat: "Pharaoh, me?"
He lowered his head and looked at his hands. It was not Aibo's slender white hands, but a pair of muscular and powerful hands with slightly dark skin that gave people a healthy and sunny look.
At the same time, An Yugi's fingers, wrists and even arms at this moment are all wearing gold jewelry that is very in line with An Yuxi's personal aesthetics. Even on the wrist of his left hand, there is actually a pair of gold jewelry that An Yugi had worn before the tomb guard elder and Gaib Yinxiu. The folded golden duel disk that Darr had seen.
Have you been changed? !
No, instead of saying that his appearance was changed, another conjecture suddenly arose in An Yuxi's mind at this moment - the body in front of him might be his own self three thousand years ago!
And just when An Yugi was confused by the unfounded and unfounded speculation in his mind, a short man wearing a fine white robe with a black cloth wrapped around his upper body and head to cover his face came to An Yu from the side. The game came and whispered to him: "Pharaoh, the people are waiting for your answer, please respond to the people."
What the man said was not English, Japanese or Arabic, but Ancient Egyptian, which has long since disappeared in the long river of history. Although Yami Yugi has never learned this language, he can clearly understand what the other person wants to express. At the same time, you can answer subconsciously, as if it were instinctive.
After hearing that the other party called him "Pharaoh", An Yuxi took a deep breath to restore himself to a calm state: "I am, Pharaoh..."
"Pharaoh!" "Pharaoh!" "Pharaoh!"
Not knowing what he should do at this moment, An Yuxi looked at the crowd below and raised his hand to say hello. It was such a simple action. The crowd below immediately stopped shouting and prostrated on the ground. Five-body cast.
"Uh..." A drop of cold sweat flowed from An Yuxi's forehead. To be honest, he was really just following the instructions of the man next to him and responding to the people's calls to say hello warmly. Why did they all kneel down when he raised his hand? Down?
I can't stand it anymore.
Could it be that in ancient Egypt, raising your hands to say hello meant anger? Yabai, I have never learned this kind of thing at all. In modern times, I only used to play cards with Aibo.
After all, although in the modern era, I already knew from Yinsis Yinshudar of the tomb guard clan that I was an unknown pharaoh from three thousand years ago, but because I have lived in modern times for as long as I can remember, I am basically a modern person. Even if he knew that he was now a pharaoh, he still wouldn't be able to adapt to it at all.
An Yuxi looked at the people in the audience who were leaning down and seemed to be afraid of him, and was a little at a loss. Fortunately, the short man next to him reminded him: "Pharaoh Oh, please come, your people at the banquet are also looking forward to the appearance of the new pharaoh."
An Yuxi nodded. Although he didn't know what would happen to the banquet, he thought it was better than continuing to stand here and watch others kneel to him as if they were being executed. He followed the man and left the high platform and walked toward the magnificent building behind him. Walk inside the palace.
With the departure of Pharaoh, the people outside dared to get up and leave to return to their daily lives and work.
"Hey, wasn't this completely missed?" Nefertari, who arrived belatedly with Hayato and Hayato, said with regret until everyone had finished the ceremony of admiring the new pharaoh's face. "It turns out this is not I didn’t even see Pharaoh’s face, I just saw his back from so far away.”
"A back view is enough. To me, that starfish is too conspicuous." Hayato shrugged and said, not too concerned about not seeing the Pharaoh's face. As for the colorful starfish head passed down from ancient Egypt for three thousand years in the game, it was hard for Hayato to admit his mistake even if he wanted to.
As expected, he did come to this world at the same time as Yami Yugi, but Yami Yugi had an identity that he could assume, so he appeared directly as the nameless pharaoh from three thousand years ago.
As for Hayato, it's like playing DND without car cards or playing Warhammer without preparing chess pieces. He was not within the scope of Tairyo's calculations and had no identity that he could directly use as a substitute, so he could only find a civilian to be his Use the character.
The next development, if Hayato remembers correctly, should be that after the new pharaoh's enthronement ceremony, the character "Bakura the Thief King" controlled by Tapirang made a big banquet. The powerful force was not defeated until the pharaoh took action, but he was not defeated. Being able to keep it would bring shame to the pharaoh and the priests, thus kicking off this dark game that overthrew the dynasty.
However, that is also the premise for only An Yugi and Tairiang to play the dark game. Since he has also joined this dark game, there is no way to participate in the interrupted banquet and treat Tairang. How about taking a hand in action?
Hayato thought so, and the corners of his mouth raised into a smile. Nefertari looked at Hayato and said, "I~Meliamon, you laugh so disgustingly."
"Nonsense, this is obviously a smile full of positive energy." Hayato glanced at Nefertari and asked, "By the way, Nefertari, do you know where there is a secret entrance to the palace? "
"Well, I'm overthinking it. An important location like the entrance to the palace must be heavily guarded. Even a remote location must be guarded to prevent anyone from breaking in. Why would I even think of asking casually? One person can..."
"Ah, I know." But what Hayato didn't expect was that after thinking about it, Nefertari nodded and said, "I know there is a secret entrance with fewer people. I’ll take you there.”
"Is it really there?" Hayato was also a little surprised, how could Nefertari know the existence of such a place.
Following Nefertari around the magnificent palace for a long time, almost to the back, Hayato, led by Nefertari, did find a small door on the side of the palace, which seemed to be For servants to enter and exit.
"Now, that's right there, the secret entrance you're looking for, Meliamon." Nefertari said, blinking, "Although it's not a secret, there are actually quite a few people walking through here. , but today is the day when the new pharaoh ascends the throne, and the palace is very lively, so no one should come here again."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two soldiers walking out from behind the door one after another and standing on both sides of the door.
"Huh? Why is there someone guarding it again?" Nefertari let out a sigh of relief when she saw the soldiers appear, "I only know this location. I'm sorry, Meliamon, I can't help you. "
"This refreshing sense of sight of the NPC as the position moves, that guy Tairao wants to save the memory occupied by the game." Seeing that the gate that was originally unguarded was guarded again, Hayato complained and rubbed Ni Fetali, who had long, silky black hair that appealed to his taste, stood up and said, "However, if it's just this level, you can't stop me."
"I even prepared my secret weapon on the way here!"
