Chapter 40 Sorry I Can’t Do It

The riot caused by Sho Marufuji among the "Electronic Flow" apprentices ended with Sho Marufuji himself falling into a coma along with his brother Ryo Marufuji. The group of apprentices who were instigated by him, although they initially shouted for their money back and flinched when they witnessed a duel in which two people were unconscious, soon gave up the idea.

"Refund? No problem at all, but the registration fee will be paid at the dojo in the United States, and the refund will be made in the Himalayas. You have to find the specific location yourself."

This is what Barong said. The reason is that the "Electronic Flow" dojo was in the Himalayas before it was moved to the United States. The refund office was not moved with it, so the credibility is quite low.

However, the real reason is actually Baron's clarification of Marufuji Sho's previous slander. In this regard, he is still trying his best, although it is because of "If the reputation of 'Electronic Flow' gets bad and we can't accept apprentices, wouldn't I?" Unemployed again" thought, but in the end he still let the apprentices know that although Sho Marufuji was the younger brother of Ryo Marufuji, what he said did not have much credibility.

On this point, not only Baron said, but also the apprentices who watched the duel were somewhat aware of it. After all, they could see Marufuji Sho's changed appearance during the duel and his face when he knocked his brother unconscious. Come out a little.

After the commotion subsided, Barong boarded the travel bus with his apprentices and the Marufuji brothers who were still in a coma. Although it cannot be denied that there is an original intention to raise funds, the "Electronic Flow" Normal School Samejima Association agrees with Barong's "fishing trip" plan because this spiritual trip is definitely effective, and it can indeed improve through understanding the changes of the years. The level of the apprentices.

Therefore, Barong was about to take the apprentices to the next training place with a long history. He and Hayato and the others were not on the same road, so he said goodbye to everyone and drove the bus under the watch of Hayato and others in front of the hotel. Go Away——Although the funds arranged by Samejima actually include hiring drivers, Barong seems to have taken kickbacks for this part and went to work to earn the money of drivers himself.

About an hour after the bus left, Ryo Marufuji, who was sitting in a coma in the tour guide's seat, finally woke up. He covered his head with one hand as if he had not fully recovered from the impact of the previous dark game.

"Oh, you're awake, kid." Barong in the driver's seat caught a glimpse of Marufuji's movements and said casually, but he was relieved in his heart.

He has always only been able to destroy but never protect. In fact, he is quite worried about Ryo Marufuji's condition. Even though Hayato, Malik and Becas all said that Ryo Marufuji is really not. Even though he was injured, he still couldn't rest assured that the direction the bus was heading to was actually the hospital.

But now, it seems that Kobayashi Hayato and the others were right. After turning the steering column and turning on the turn signal, Barong drove the vehicle and changed lanes. Instead of going straight to the hospital, he turned to the direction of the highway.

"Have we left the hotel, Mr. Baron?"

"Well, after all, today's journey is not short, and that guy Kobayashi Hayato said that you and your brother are fine and don't need to go to the hospital. I'm driving on the highway now."

Although according to Hayato and the others, Marufuji Sho and Marufuji Ryo, who are also in a coma, are different from each other and have been harmed to some extent by the dark game, but people are different. Although Baron will care about Marufuji Ryo, Marufuji Sho is in charge of him. Well, that boy's previous performance made Barong look down upon him even now.

Anyway, Hayato also said that whether he was sent to the hospital or not would only affect how long it would take to wake up. The damage caused by the dark game could not be cured by ordinary hospitals, so Baron chose to just pretend that he didn't know.

As he spoke, Barong glanced at the rearview mirror and saw an expression of regret on Ryo Marufuji's face. While looking ahead, he said casually: "Also, although there is not much time for I am chasing stars, but I still asked those people for some souvenirs..."

Marufuji didn't hear what Baron said clearly. After he picked up a piece of cardboard that Barong placed in front of the tour guide seat, he could only see the cardboard.

The cardboard itself is not a special material, it is just an ordinary cardboard. From the incomplete color printing on the other side of the cardboard, it can be seen that it seems to have been ripped off the packaging of something and cut into I got this square piece of cardboard in my hand. What attracted Marufuji's full attention was the words written in marker on the cardboard.

"A great duel (^ω^) I look forward to your future——Beccas J. Croftor"

"zsbd——Kobayashi Hayato"

"Come on, boy——Muto Yugi"

"Hmph, my sister is much better--Jounuchi Katsuya"

Noticing Marufuji's expression, Barong also said with some pride: "Although we were hostile in the past, we can still be regarded as connections. In the cafeteria before, I saw that you seemed to want to find Kobayashi Hayato and the others. You asked for an autograph but failed, now I can help you realize your dream, don’t thank me too much.”

"No, I want to say why you signed on this kind of cardboard. The words before the signature seem to have some unclear meaning." Holding the signature cardboard, Ryo Marufuji, who has always been too serious, also rarely complained like a child. He said, but the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, revealing a smile.

"But, thank you very much, Mr. Barong."

Barong also smiled slightly when he heard this, but then Ryo Marufuji said, "However, I will not help you hide the kickbacks."

"No, why haven't you taken those unimportant things to heart? You should forget about it after taking advantage of me. Don't you know that this is the unspoken rule of the adult world?"

"I'm sorry, I can't do it. I'm just a twelve-year-old kid."

On the bus carrying the "Electronic Flow" tour group, the conversation between Barong and Ryo Marufuji was unknown to Hayato and the others. After checking out of the hotel room, they were about to continue on to their next destination. journey.

As before, Hayato still sat in the driver's seat as the driver, and asked Malik in the co-pilot to help open the map and start planning the route. After visiting the ruins of the royal city three thousand years ago, they now plan to head to their next destination.

But as soon as he opened the electronic map, Malik was stunned and said to Hayato: "Brother-in-law, is your map broken?"

"No, I borrowed this from Kaiba. It can't be broken that easily." Hearing this, Hayato also turned his head and looked at the tablet in Malik's hand. There was nothing like normal on the transparent tablet. The surrounding map information is still displayed in the state, but instead there are several flashing mosaic-like garbled characters.

"Is it really broken? How could I remember that it was fine last night?" Hayato couldn't help but glance at Malik, "Didn't you keep the map yesterday? What did you do with it?"

Malik thought about last night, because he learned from Hayato that he had secretly called his sister, but he had not remembered it for a long time. Knowing that he would never be able to eat when he went back, Malik felt depressed and made a choice. Overeating, I ate two packs of instant noodles in one go. At that time, I seemed to use this electronic map to press the bowl of instant noodles.

"No, I didn't do anything," Malik affirmed.

Just when Hayato looked at Malik with a look like "Do you think I will believe it?", the garbled codes on the electronic map actually moved and combined together, turning into the avatar of a person. It was Keppei?

"Ah, we found it. Is it Hayato-san?" On the tablet, Keppei looked left and right, seemingly observing the surroundings through the scanning camera equipped on the electronic map, and soon found Malik who was holding the map. Hayato next to him waved to him and said with a smile.

Hayato also said hello: "Long time no see, Naruto."

"Who is Naruto! I'm Keppei, Keppei, Keppei!" Keppei's face suddenly turned disgusting, and he excitedly corrected Hayato. After repeating his name three times, he said helplessly, " This electronic map suddenly disappeared. As expected, it is in your hands, Brother Hayato. Fortunately, I installed a backdoor on it so that it can be located at any time."

"That's too bad, Keppei. How could you do something like that at your age? It's wrong to hack other people's devices." Looking at Keppei on the electronic map, Hayato said sternly.

Keipei glanced at Hayato and complained: "Brother Hayato, you are not qualified to say such a thing, no, after all, this map is mine."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, Brother Hayato, I have something important to see you for."

Seeing Keppei's serious expression, Hayato became more serious and said, "Isn't that what kind of virtual world has that guy Kaiba been locked up in?"

"No, why would you think that way, Hayato-nii?" Keppei tilted his head and said strangely.

"Look, Kaiba was imprisoned once when he was the Fifth Elder, and Naia was imprisoned once in Duel City. In addition, he was also involved in the King's Memory Slate not long ago, so he has been imprisoned in the virtual world. It's been three times." Crossing his fingers, Hayato counted in detail, "Especially the time when the fifth elder, Keppei, said the same thing when he came to us to rescue him."

"Although it is indeed something related to my brother, it is not like that," Keppei shook his head and denied, "I don't quite understand what the 'King's Memory' is, but my brother did suddenly have it a few days ago. These changes make me feel like I have grown up all of a sudden.”

"He used to look down on other duel monster cards and only recognized the power of [Blue Eyes White Dragon]. He suddenly told me that the [Thunder Dragon] deck I just collected is also quite good. It's like putting it in the refrigerator. It’s as surprising as the chocolate inside suddenly disappeared.”

Although it sounds strange for Kaiba's younger brother Keppei to say that Kaiba has grown up, but when it comes to it, sometimes the older Kaiba is indeed more stable than the younger Keppei. For example, Kaiba often He will do things impulsively on a whim, but Keihei can basically keep calm and think.

The best example is Duel Monsters. When it comes to playing cards, Kaiba becomes addicted to cards on the spot, but Keppei is not that addicted, and he is even less likely to spend a lot of money just to play cards.

"I guess I came back from the world of 'King's Memory' a few days ago. Also, if you are talking about the chocolate you put in the laboratory refrigerator, it seems that I ate it." Hayato said with a playful smile, provoking Guiping rolled his eyes.

"Don't interrupt me to talk about the important point." Back to the topic, Keppei talked about his experience in the past two days, "My brother suddenly decided to go to Egypt after an experiment failed to achieve the expected results. If you want to find Brother Hayato, you and Yugi and the others didn't tell me what they were going to do. You also know that he has always been like this with too much mobility, and I'm somewhat used to it."

"But after he came to Egypt with me in his jet, which until now I still cannot approve of his taste, he suddenly disappeared on the road!"

"Disappeared all of a sudden? Did that guy Kaiba get lost?" In the back seat, hearing Keihei's words, Jonouchi showed a gloating expression, "How big of a person actually disappeared suddenly, how did that guy Kaiba go?" Crazy?"

Keihei corrected: "No, I'm not lost. At that time, my brother and I were walking on the street one after another, waiting for the plane to refuel and then looking for Hayato-nii. We only went to the street because my brother was afraid that I would be bored and stayed with me. Wandering around, there aren’t many people on the street at all.”

"But all of a sudden, my brother was just walking in front of me, and suddenly he disappeared from my eyes, as if he was the legendary 'divide'!"

"Suddenly disappeared? The inspiration in my mind suddenly came!" When Becas heard this, he suddenly became excited, "Is there more, Keppei boy? The Kaiba boy thing has given quite a lot of attention to the card Design ideas—!”

Becas, who had come to the front row, was covered by Hayato's mouth and pushed back. Jonouchi and Honda asked Jonouchi and Honda to keep an eye on this guy who would act randomly when he got an idea, and said to Keppei on the electronic map: "He suddenly disappeared. Something like that, Keihei, you should have tried to contact Kaiba, but you just couldn’t, right?"

Seeing Keipei nodding, Hayato continued: "I understand, so Keipei, your purpose of hacking into this electronic map should also be to ask for our help, right? Send the map over, and we will set off right away. Looking for you."

"Well, I've already sent the data over, Brother Hayato. I'll be waiting for you at the place where my brother disappeared." Seeing that Hayato understood the purpose of his contact without explaining it in detail, Keppei quickly pressed the button on the other end. What, Keppei's avatar on the electronic map disappeared and returned to normal, showing the map around Hayato and his party. At the same time, the input of the destination was automatically completed, and a red line led to somewhere from the location.

Seeing that Keipei's call seemed to be over, Hayato also smiled and turned around and said: "There is no need to worry about the safety of that guy Kaiba, but what if we catch up and see that guy in disgrace? Everyone, are you ready? ?”

"We must set out immediately and laugh at the seahorse as soon as possible!"

Malik complained: "Why are you so active in a place like this, brother-in-law?"
