Chapter 26 A World Where only Malik Is Injured

"So, why can't these Egyptians understand human language?" Baron said as he scooped up the fried rice with a spoon and put it into his mouth with a plate full of Egyptian fried rice, with an incomprehensible expression on his face.

"It doesn't matter if you can't recognize someone because you're face-blind. I told those people so clearly that I'm not in the city, but those deaf and blind guys didn't listen at all."

"That's it, I can't even figure out how you, Barong, look like me. Those people are really blind!" Sitting opposite Barong, Jonouchi said angrily, complaining that he had not been recognized before, and had been I was very upset thinking it was someone pretending to be me.

Looking at Jonouchi, he took another bite of fried rice. Barong also said strangely: "After all, it's surprising and difficult for me to understand that Jonouchi has so many enthusiastic fans. Although you Even I am fascinated by your heroic appearance, but I didn't expect that the audience who just watched your duel can understand your charm."

Hearing Barong's words, Jonouchi, who was looking at him, felt the undisguised passion in the other person's eyes and couldn't help but get goosebumps: "Don't say anything strange to me that can easily be misunderstood."

"Huh? Is there anything wrong? What I said is true and from the bottom of my heart." Barong showed off another mouthful of fried rice, a little confused, "The person who was surrounded just now was not me but you. I am I truly feel that among the people who surrounded me, not many of them are really your fans."

"That's not what I'm talking about. The point is the previous part."

Just as he was talking, Jonouchi felt someone tap his shoulder lightly, walked around the table where he and Baron were sitting, walked to an empty seat, pulled out a chair and sat down. It was a young man wearing a smart suit and a pink and purple tie on his chest. He looked quite handsome, but for some reason, he always had the illusion that he would show off his appearance at any time.

"Because they are indeed not fans of Jonouchi. They are just passers-by who came to join in the fun after hearing about the celebrity. Although it is not certain, it will definitely not be a loss if they can get in touch with Jonouchi by accident. Especially when the ticket price for the breakfast buffet open to the public in this hotel is not very high.”

As the man spoke, he glanced at Jonouchi, "However, there is another reason why Jonouchi is the most well-known appearance of you. When you were in Duel City, Keppei used Duel City's appearance to promote Kaiba Entertainment Group. The popularity created a marketing campaign for the top four players at the time."

"Compared to you now, you have changed drastically. It's like no one would recognize Malik now as Dark Malik back then in Duel City."

Hearing the man's words, Jonouchi showed a look of realization: "Oh~ I see, I feel relieved when you say that. I thought even my fans couldn't recognize me."

"Huh? That's not right. Who are you? Why do you seem familiar?" As he spoke, Jonouchi looked at Barong who was still showing off his fried rice. "Is he someone you know, Barong?"

"Huh? Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to turn this off." The man was stunned when he heard Jonouchi's words. Then he remembered something, raised his hand and transformed a golden cane, and tapped it lightly on his body. , the man's figure changed like broken glass, revealing his true appearance, "The one just now was a fake identity to hide people's eyes. I have to say that the [Millennium Scepter] is quite easy to use."

Hayato said, putting the [Millennium Scepter] back on his waist.

"I said it looked strangely familiar. It turned out to be you, Hayato Kobayashi. As expected, you still have a familiar taste when it comes to deceiving people. You must have used it on the KC Cup before. That look just now was called 'Tanli Dou' 'Here?" Seeing Hayato's true face revealed, Barong also straightened his back, looked at him and said, "I was deceived badly by you, but I didn't expect that you actually betrayed Doma. .”

"But pull him down. Doma has been dead for who knows how long. Do you still want to avenge Dazi?" Hayato also smiled slightly.

Although Tatsu can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand in the Doma organization, after he was killed by Hayato and the others, the gang under him fell into disarray and dispersed, showing no loyalty to him. Let alone Hayato, who was originally an undercover agent. , the other two of the Three Knights of Doma, Ameruda and Rafilu, rebelled against Dazi before Doma fell.

In the end, only Barong, who had died early in the fight with Jonouchi, could still be regarded as Doma's remnant.

"No, I don't have that interest. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that this guy in the city is so powerful, I might have betrayed Dazi later." Waving his hand, Barong scooped up the last spoonful of fried rice, "Compared to those revenge No matter what boring things, it is more important to have enough to eat and drink right now, after all, this is the 'peaceful life' I long for."

As Jonouchi watched Barong eat the last spoonful of fried rice, he couldn't help but sigh: "You guys can really eat. How long have you been hungry?"

“It’s not that I’m really hungry, I just feel that the rooms in this hotel are so expensive, and it would be a loss if I didn’t eat at the buffet.”

"Then even if you eat fried rice to death, don't even think about getting your money back."

"Wulu Sai, I don't have anything to say to those of you who have gone to school." Barong said awkwardly, and forcefully changed the subject to Hayabusa, "Since you will appear here, you were the one who brought those gangs together just now. You must have been led away by others, I'm really curious as to how you led away those blind men who didn't listen to others."

Just now, because Baron recognized Jonouchi, he almost lured the group of people surrounding him to divert trouble from Jonouchi. Someone in the crowd shouted something in Arabic that neither of them could understand. Suddenly, those people They dispersed and went outside the cafeteria, where Jonouchi and Baron were able to escape.

"Oh, it's nothing. If you can speak a few simple words in Arabic, you can actually do it easily." Hayato said casually, "I just asked Malik, who had already finished Jonouchi's curry, to come to the first floor. Come on over and tell those people who just want to enjoy the heat that 'Becas' is out there."

"Compared to Jonouchi, 'Father of Duel Monsters' Becas is of course more attractive to them, even if there are fans of Jonouchi among them. And they don't even have Jonouchi and Baron. You can’t tell the difference, let alone Malik, whose hair is light blond but looks a bit like Becas’s silver hair.”

As he spoke, Hayato nodded affirmatively: "Well, it's very simple. The world in which Malik is the only one injured is complete."

"Brother-in-law, you are plotting against me!" As Hayato finished speaking, Barong and Jonouchi vaguely heard Malik's voice coming from outside the cafeteria.

The two fell into silence for a while, and after a long time, Barong sighed: "It has to be you, Hayato Kobayashi. In terms of your proficiency in betraying your teammates, you have to be the one."

"What you said is strange. What does the bad thing Tan Rito did have to do with me, Kobayashi Hayato?"

Listening to the exchange between two "former" colleagues, Hayato and Baron, Jonouchi seemed to have remembered something and said: "I remember, Baron, weren't you in the United States before? How did you come to Egypt? We were here before I even met Rafiru.”

"Rafiru? He also came to Egypt?" The expression on Baron's face was a little surprised. It seemed that he didn't know that Rafiru was also in Egypt. He shook his head and said, "We have never contacted each other since Doma was disbanded. Yes, I just found out that he is in Egypt, what a coincidence."

"And you have to ask why I came to Egypt. On the one hand, I have no restraints now that I am not working for Dazi. Whether I want to start a passionate adventure or continue a peaceful life, I can do whatever I want, and subconsciously I want to come to Egypt, the birthplace of Duel Monsters.”

"On the other hand, if you want to live a peaceful life, you also need funds to maintain expenses. Without Dazi's reimbursement, I had to find a new job."

Barong said, stood up with a mysterious smile, grabbed both sides of the coat he was wearing and opened it violently, as if he was an exhibitionist. Jonouchi was even prepared to close his eyes to avoid going blind. .

However, after Barong opened his coat, what was revealed was not something that should not be seen in public, but a sweatshirt he wore under the coat. Judging from the fabric, it seemed to be just an ordinary mass-produced sweatshirt. , It's neither good nor bad, but the logo printed on the sweater feels quite familiar to Hayato.

"Is this the first time I've seen such a logo?" Jonouchi asked, as if it was the first time he saw such a logo, and Barong answered him without any concealment, "Is this the first time I've seen this logo? This can also be regarded as my new job. I’ll explain part of it to you. The logo on this sweatshirt is the ‘Electronic Flow’ logo.”

"Electronic flow?" Jonouchi showed a thoughtful expression and clapped his hands, "I remember, is it Uncle Samejima's 'electronic flow'?"

"Oh? You know more than I thought. Jonouchi is indeed a man I value." Baron heard that Jonouchi could tell about Samejima, and knew that he could also introduce less than expected, " You must have experienced my [Armor] deck, right? That power fundamentally damages the duelist’s vitality.”

Hearing Barong mention the [Armor] deck, Jonouchi couldn't help but recall the duel between himself and Barong. There was a vague phantom pain in his ribs: "Ah, even after so much time, I still feel a vague pain when I think about it now."

"As a subordinate of Dazi when I was in Doma, I could say that I was unscrupulous when using that power, but if I want to live a peaceful life, that power is not very suitable for me." Barong spread his hands helplessly. For example, "For example, when I want to spar with someone, even if I want to keep my hands, I can't control the strength accurately to prevent the opponent from getting hurt. If I want to step on an ant without crushing it to death, the strength is very difficult to control." of."

"Although I was somewhat reluctant to give up, I decided to seal up the [Armor] deck and no longer use it. As an alternative, I joined the 'Electronic Flow' dojo and obtained the 'Electronic Flow' strength."

"You can actually make such a decision?" Jonouchi looked at Barong in surprise. You know, it is not a simple matter for a duelist to change the deck. The more powerful the duelist is, the deeper the bond with the deck is. After changing the deck, no matter how much the strength of the cards is increased, it will be difficult to make up for the bond. missing.

Of course, Hayato is one of the few who changes decks more frequently than changing his wife in the second dimension, but the bond between decks is deeper than the previous one.

"There's nothing to regret. Since you know the 'Electron Flow', you should also know the strength of the [Electronic Dragon], especially you, Hayato Kobayashi. I heard Samejima mention it, and you seem to have obtained it." Electronic current, the ultimate power secretly passed down through the ages, is yours, Hayato Kobayashi."

As he spoke, Barong said with some regret, "It's a pity that I just got the [Electronic Ogre] card for getting started with the 'Electronic Flow'. I've only been waiting for the card for a while. I've just managed to get familiar with it and can't use it to its full potential." Strength, otherwise I really want to have a good duel with you Jonouchi again."

"Humph, I won't lose to you, Barong, you are already the defeated one of my men, Mr. Jonouchi." Jonouchi paused, and his tone changed as if he was approaching someone, "Those who lose to me once , has lost the possibility of winning against me again."

"Yoshi, you said another line that I want to say the most."

"With this tone, I knew it was Seto Kaiba." Baron said helplessly, closing his coat, "Anyway, now I have joined the 'Electronic Flow', and it seems to be to raise funds or something else. Something like that, Samejima Normal School organized a trip to Egypt, saying that it would allow students to have a closer understanding of Duel Monsters, the passage of time, and the eternal glory of the 'Electron Flow', and because I have certain abilities and I’m the oldest, so I think I’m the leader of the tour group.”

"It's not that Samejima said I can share the money or anything, it's mainly because I think that children are the future of the world and I have to let them grow up."

Picking up the dinner plate, Barong seemed to have not finished eating yet and wanted to get something else, but at that moment, a young man appeared behind him.

"Uh, Marufuji? How could you—"

"Mr. Barong..." The young man with green and broken hair looked to be eleven or twelve years old. Looking at Barong, he interrupted him seriously, "Ming Ming said last night that he was at the door this morning. We’re gathering, why haven’t you shown up yet?”

Hearing this, Barong showed a panicked expression: "Oops, oops, because I forgot all about the buffet and gatherings here!?"
