However, now it's not just Kaiba who is doubting his own XP problem, it's another guy who can't help it.
【"another me?"】
At this time, Yugi unexpectedly discovered that Atum, who had just reintegrated with him, was feeling a little wrong. After seeing the Tianfeng Dragon Girl being stroked like a kitten by the girl in white, he actually... had a feeling... A strong urge?
["AIBO, can you let me take over?"]
Atum hurriedly said the "default line" that he used almost every time he encountered a strong enemy. In the past, as long as Atum said this sentence, it would often be followed by Yugi nodding, and then "Millennium Building Blocks" "Glowing light, Muto Yugi grows ten centimeters unscientifically, his temperament changes drastically, sneakers suddenly turn into leather shoes, and school uniforms suddenly turn into cloaks floating on the back...
But these familiar yet unfamiliar words did not make Yugi immediately agree to Atum's "possession" request this time. The reason was not because after seven years of growth, Muto Yugi's strength had surpassed Atum, but because he I feel like the current Atum gives the game a... weird feel.
["Other me, what's wrong with you?"] Yugi asked with question marks in his heart: ["You give people the feeling that something is wrong."]
["I...did I?"] Atum hesitated and said, "I'm normal."]
Yu Yu (suspicious eyes): ["Really? What I feel from your spiritual link now... Although you hide it very secretly, there is still a desire for 'gluttonous body' in it."]
Atum (sweating): ["This...AIBO, this is your illusion, illusion..."]
Game: ["Really..."]
Just as Atum was nervously explaining to Yugi, the "Legendary Magician of Darkness" standing aside blinked. He looked at Yugi's expression changing rapidly, which made him seem to understand something.
So the Dark Magister pulled out a chopstick-like wand from under his wizard robe, and gently tapped the wand on the head of the "half-dragon maid and dragon housekeeper" beside him.
"Gu?"
The dragon housekeeper who was attacked by a sneak attack glanced at the Dark Magician in confusion, and then she seemed to suddenly have a leak. She instantly shrank from a tall sister of 1.81 centimeters to a black and white figure with a body length of 35 centimeters. Young dragon.
"Huh?" The shrunken dragon housekeeper - now she should be called "Yaoguang Dragon Girl - Hatchling" - jumped out of the pile of clothes, jumped onto the long table and stared at the two round girls. His big eyes stared at Yugi and the Dark Magister in confusion.
And the moment the Yaoguang Dragon Girl stared at Yugi with her round eyes, a golden light flashed from Yugi's chest - Atum's spirit body flew out!
"another me?!"
There are no ordinary people here who can see Atum, so the game does not need to send messages from the mind: "What's wrong with you?"
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
However, Atum did not deal with the game immediately. Instead, he directly stretched out his spirit hand to the chin of the furry little dragon on the table. While thinking about "catching the cat", he said: "It's already been the last time I petted the cat." It was thousands of years ago, and I don’t usually feel this way, but I don’t know why today… I just really want to masturbate!”
Yugi covered his mouth in surprise: "Ah, that's right, you are also Egyptian after all!"
The Egyptians were all cat slaves, especially the Pharaohs. This was something that Yugi only learned after he went to college.
Muto Yugi wanted to refute this argument, because the Egyptian (Atum) he knew was not a cat slave, but he suddenly remembered that he did not have a cat at home, and he had never seen one in his adventures with Atum. Cat.
Although there are cats in the deck, they are just pictures after all, and the cat pictures drawn by the International Illusion Society, which had not yet found the "wealth code", are not cute at all.
But now, when he saw the cat-like baby dragon with his own eyes, Atum couldn't help it. Although he was quickly rejected by Yaoguang Dragon Girl, it wasn't because the other party didn't let him masturbate. , more because Atum is now a spirit body and cannot be touched at all.
"The other me." Yugi waved to Atum and said, "You can't touch me like this, come here."
"AIBO?" Atum, who was suffering from being unable to pick up a cat, heard Muto Yugi say this and flew directly back into Yugi's body without refusing.
The soul of the game switched to the spirit behind him, floating behind Atum and watching him play with the cat.
Hmm... although the one being rubbed by Atum is actually not a cat, but a young dragon that looks very much like a cat... I don’t know how a young dragon like this grew up into the beautiful and powerful Yao Guang in the card. The dragon girl's.
"It's time for him to be released." The Dark Magister walked to the side of Yugi, turned around and looked at Yugi and said, "Don't you think he is quite tired from living?"
"I think so." Yugi nodded and said with complicated eyes: "I heard Atum say that when he was alive, he was the pharaoh, when he was sealed in the thousand-year building block, he was a prisoner, and when he was officially After death, he is the supreme being in the underworld... For thousands of years, he doesn’t have much time for himself.”
In this way, Atum is actually quite unfortunate.
"Egyptians all love cats, especially the Pharaoh. This gentleman has been suppressed for thousands of years." The Dark Magister pointed at the ceiling here and said: "Now he probably doesn't even realize that the deepest part of his heart is Some of his wishes are being fulfilled by the Black Tower; one of the most dazzling labels on this adult can be let go a little bit in the Black Tower, so that he can... be more like an ordinary person."
"Ah... let it go a little bit."
When he heard "the most dazzling label", Yugi's face darkened. He remembered what the Dark Magister had said to him and Atum before he came, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes when he looked at Atum. .
But soon he shook his head vigorously to shake a certain terrible idea out of his mind; for this reason, he deliberately changed the subject and said: "By the way, isn't Yaoguang Dragon Girl the Dragon Lady's housekeeper? Wouldn't this be offensive? "
The game has not forgotten that this cute little dragon that looks silly actually has a mature and intellectual form of "half-dragon maid and dragon housekeeper"...
Damn it, it looks like Atum’s behavior...
"Haha, don't worry, the current Yaoguang Dragon Girl is just an ordinary young dragon." The Dark Magister shook the wand in his hand, pointed at the young Tianfeng Dragon Girl fluttering in the arms of the girl in white and said: "After all, If we don’t return them to their ignorant infant bodies, what we are about to say will kill them if they find out.”
"I see..." Yugi nodded without asking any more questions. He knew that the Dark Magister did not lie to his position.
However, the game's problem has been solved, but the other person's confusion has not been resolved.
Kaiba looked at Atum, who was holding the Yaoguang Dragon Girl in his arms, with a confused expression on his face: "Is this...that Pharaoh? What's wrong with him?"
"It's just exposing a little bit of my personal hobbies." The girl in white sat on the chair and continued to play with the cat without any surprise. The Tianfeng Dragon Girl in her arms also purred comfortably, "He has been suppressed for too long. He needs to A little personal time.”
"Repressed? Repressed by what?"
"Destined." The girl in white smiled and said, "Let me ask you, Chairman of Haima Entertainment Group: Why are the protagonists in action games always fighting?"
"The game design is like this. From the setting point of view, he cannot save the world without fighting. From the fundamental point of view, if he is not allowed to fight all the time, how can the players enjoy it?"
Kaiba didn't know why the girl in white suddenly asked this question - it didn't seem to have anything to do with Yugi's sudden cat slave attack, right?
"The player is very happy, but does the protagonist really want to fight?" The girl in white raised the Tianfeng Dragon Girl in her hand, poked her head out from behind and said to Kaiba: "Maybe he doesn't like fighting at all. He just wants to fight." Do you want to be a cat-loving geek?"
"What does this mean...the protagonist in the game only knows how to fight and Atum suddenly wants to play with a cat...huh?!"
Kaiba is also a smart person. He suddenly remembered Atum's past... It seems that he has never heard of any other hobbies. Apart from running the country, he is dueling, either solving this conspiracy or solving the next conspiracy. , as a tool to save the world, he has no personal interests.
[This kind of guy, with such a "flat" "personality", is simply...] Kaiba gritted his teeth and thought of a terrible possibility: "You mean, if reality is a game, then Atum... Like..."
"Shh." The girl in white grabbed one of Tianfeng Dragon Girl's paws and pressed it to her lips to interrupt Kaiba's words, "Don't dare speak loudly, for fear of scaring the heavens."
