Chapter 24: Going against the ancestor’s decision No
"Unknowingly, several years have passed since I woke up from the [Millennium Building Blocks]."
There were fireworks blooming in the night sky behind him. Atum, who had swapped bodies with Yugi and appeared in the outside world, looked at his friends in front of him with a look of reminiscence on his face, "I'm really happy to be able to meet you and work together."
I’ve been through so many things.”
In front of Atum, Jonouchi, Honda, Kyoko, and Hayato looked at Atum who began to recall the past so seriously. Because of the encounter with Xia Di during the day today, even though he hadn't heard about him from Atum yet.
They still guessed what he was about to say despite the important decision he wanted to make.
"Beccas from the Duel Kingdom, Malik from the Duel City, Dazi from Doma, and Angu Liang from the Memory Slate. There are so many powerful enemies that I cannot defeat alone." Atul.
Mu looked at the few people, "It's the bond with you that has helped me move forward until now."
In the rented hotel room, Tapirang, who was on the phone with his family, Malik, who was busy playing games, and Bekas, who was not making cards but watching TV animations, all sneezed inexplicably at the same time.
Hayato, who was standing in front of Atum, also had a slightly itchy nose and subconsciously wanted to sneeze, but he used Sogo Kang to stop it.
"Yugi... no, Atum..." Looking at Atum, Jonouchi, who was not used to his real name yet, subconsciously called Atum the same way as before, "Me too, we are the same.
,I’m glad to meet you.”
"Before we helped you, you also helped us a lot, Atum." Honda scratched the back of his head and said with a rare shyness, "If it weren't for your existence, Jonouchi and I would have been together a long time ago.
There is no way for people to break away from campus gangs, they will just remain two little gangsters living their lives in confusion."
"Even speaking of it, you saved us, from the hands of that Ushio Tetsu." Jonouchi also said with a smile, "That guy was actually able to defeat Honda and I, who joined forces and were known as the 'Children's Wild Fighting Kings'.
Who would have thought that in the end he would go crazy and have to drop out of school for treatment."
The Ushio Tetsu that Jonouchi said was the original Disciplinary Committee Chairman of Toshino City High School. He had the strongest fighting ability in the world, surpassing Jonouchi and Honda. However, before Hayato traveled through time, he got into trouble with Yugi and Atum.
I was driven insane by the dark game.
Kyoko also recalled what she and Atum had experienced in the past two years. Although she had the same appearance as her childhood sweetheart Yugi, Atum had a completely different feeling from her, that kind of heart-pounding feeling.
There is no doubt that I have an unspeakable love for Atum.
However, looking at Atum, Kyoko, who had already guessed what he was going to say next, was completely unable to express her feelings to Atum at this moment.
Hayato didn't say any words of affection, he just looked at Atum, and the two smiled at each other. The friendship between the two has long been integrated into the memories in the duels again and again, and it cannot be overturned at all.

"Really, I have experienced a lot. I really want to thank you, Kyoko, Honda, Jonouchi, and Hayato." Atum looked up at the fireworks that bloomed again in the night sky, raised his hand to hug them, and smiled.
Said, "What a splendid fireworks. It was impossible to witness such a grand scene three thousand years ago. It is so dazzling, but also so fleeting and short-lived."
This is not the first time Atum has seen fireworks since he completed the game [Millennium Blocks], but this is the first time he has seen fireworks since he found his name and his lost memory.

Someone has said that different states of mind can make people see different things, and for Atum, who is now more like a "rebirth" than a "new life", even watching fireworks countless times can bring
His different experiences and feelings.
Released his hand, Atum moved his raised hand away, but the fireworks in the night sky disappeared instead of being caught by him.
"I'm leaving." With a smile on his face, Atum said to several people what everyone had expected, "It's not because of Xia Di's influence during the day, this is entirely due to my own considerations.
”
"This era is very beautiful, but after all it is not my era. The era ruled by Atum as the Pharaoh disappeared three thousand years ago, so naturally the Pharaoh Atum should not stay in the world and refuse to leave.
."
After hearing Atum's words, Jonouchi clenched his fists and opened his mouth. He wanted to persuade him not to leave, but he couldn't give any reason. Unable to say anything, he was a little discouraged, but he still raised his head again.
He reached out to Atum and gave a thumbs up: "Well, if you think of it, just do it, Atum."
"As a partner, we will always support you." Putting a hand on Jonouchi's shoulder, even though his heart was full of sadness, Honda followed Jonouchi's action and gave a thumbs up hand, "Because no matter where you are,
, our hearts are all connected by bonds, aren’t we.”
Hayato looked at Atum, also raised his thumbs up and said: "If this is your decision, then do it without regrets, and we will also give you our blessings."
"Atum..." She struggled in her heart for a long time. Looking at Atum, Kyoko looked at him. When the various emotions in her heart came out, she became very simple: "...well
, we will always watch you from behind."
Similarly, she also extended her thumb and showed a sincere smile to Atum.
"Everyone..." Looking at his friends in front of him, Atum smiled, raised his hand and gently touched his chest, feeling the heartbeat and the game among the [Millennium Building Blocks], "
And, aibo."
The spiritual connection between Atum and Yugi makes it unnecessary for them to even say goodbye.
"Oh oh oh, it's such a touching emotion. The inspiration for me is almost bursting out. It makes people so excited that they want to sing a song!" Becas, who was lying at the window at some point, looked at Ah outside.
Tumu and his party said excitedly.
Next to him, Tapirang, who was also looking at Atum and the others, said with some confusion: "But Mr. Bekas, aren't you still not painting?"
"Eh~ Can an artist's thing be called fishing?" Bekas said rationally. The moment he took his eyes away from the window, he returned to the TV animation that ended the commercial break. That book was also
Just during the day, a notebook that had been opened was still pressed under his package without being opened.
The New Year's fireworks show was coming to an end unknowingly, and the dense fireworks gradually became sparse. The few people who had finished watching stopped staying outside and planned to go back to the hotel. After all, compared with the cold wind outside,
Naturally, the room should be warmer and more comfortable.
Hayato, Jonouchi and Honda walked in front, while Kyoko stood there without moving. When Atum was about to leave, she was driven by the impulse in her heart and said: "Well, Atum
..."
After hearing Xingzi's words, Atum, who was about to start, stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at her: "Huh? What's wrong, Xingzi?"
Trying to overcome the entanglement in her heart, Kyoko hesitated and finally summoned up the courage. Looking at Atum's clear eyes, she said with a blush on her face: "Although I was very hesitant and confused whether I should say it or not,
But if I don’t say it anymore, I feel like I won’t have the chance to convey this emotion to you again.
"Atum, I, I like——"
"Squeak~~~Peng!!!"
Just when Xingzi was about to say the words, the last and largest firework in tonight's fireworks display was launched into the sky, exploding suddenly, almost occupying the entire sky with gorgeous blooms.
At the same time, it also brought a huge noise, which attracted everyone's attention and also drowned out what Kyoko said.
Watching the fireworks dissipate, Atum looked at Xingzi again, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Huh? I'm sorry, Xingzi, I didn't hear what you said just now, can you say it again?"
However, Kyoko was able to express her feelings just now after struggling for a long time and exhausting her courage. If she was asked to say it again, she simply couldn't muster up enough courage. She blushed and denied it in a panic.
: "No, nothing, forget what happened just now, Atum."
As she spoke, she quickly ran away from Atum and walked back.
However, although she was a little annoyed that her confession, which she had finally mustered up the courage to confess, was interrupted by the beautiful but untimely fireworks, at the same time, Kyoko was more or less happy in her heart. Fortunately for Atum.
I didn’t hear my confession.
And looking at Xingzi's leaving figure, Atum thought to himself: 'That's fine, Xingzi, just like this. I've already accepted your wishes, but I'm sorry.'
‘As an undead from the past, I don’t have the ability to respond to your feelings, so this is fine.’
And the game in [Millennium Building Blocks] heard Atum’s voice: ‘Another me...’
Hayato, who returned to the hotel room, looked out the window and sighed as he watched Atum, who was standing alone on the rooftop, hand his body back to the game and return to the [Millennium Bricks].
In the end, Atum chose to return to the underworld, just like the fate Hayato knew. Not that there is anything wrong with this. After all, although in the real world, Hayato and others are Atum's friends.
partners, but in the underworld, Mana, Simon and the others are also waiting for their pharaoh Atum.
However, no matter how you understand it, Hayato can't help but feel a little sad about this. After all, after Atum returns to the underworld, it means that in the real world, they will be separated from Atum and never be able to see each other again.
People who have never heard of the underworld can still return to reality——
Huh? Probably not, right?
Hayato suddenly remembered something. If he remembered correctly, in a few years in the future, there seems to be a long-dead pharaoh coming to the real world?
I remember that he was called "Abydos III", and his identity when he appeared was a member of the "Seven Stars" organization who used dark games to duel in order to obtain the "Three Phantom Demons" card. However, despite his great name,
But he is actually just a layman. Because of this contrast, Hayato still has a certain impression of this character who has only appeared once.
There is no doubt that that guy is not a lonely soul of the past wandering in the real world like Atum before, but an existence that has indeed returned to the underworld but returned to the real world from the underworld.
After a duel, he fell in love with the opponent and invited him to play cards with him in the underworld after his death. It can be said to be a different perspective of Kaiba.
Although I don't know how he managed to travel between reality and the underworld, this undoubtedly opened up an idea for Hayato. Maybe Atum has returned to the underworld. If "Abydos III" came to the real world
If the method is replicable, Atum might be able to come back and reunite with them from time to time.
This is not impossible, at least as far as Hayato knows, in the "Dark Side of Dimension" story that is not an anime timeline but a follow-up to the manga timeline, Atum returns when the game is in dire straits.
Real world examples.
On the other hand, Hayato also feels that even if the method used by Abydos III to come to the real world is replicable, the difficulty will not be much lower. Otherwise, the real world would have been filled with the souls of those who are nostalgic for reality.

Instead of telling Atum now that they would be disappointed when the time comes, Hayato thought it would be better to hide it for a while and give others a surprise after confirming that it can be implemented.
Hayato thought this way, but the door to the room that was not closed was pushed open violently, and a pale-faced Malik ran in in a panic: "Big, something bad is going on, brother-in-law!"
"Alas, the beacon fire at the top of the city always goes out and ignites again." With his hands behind his back, Hayato looked back at Malik helplessly, "Also, who is your brother-in-law."
"Stop worrying about those unimportant titles, brother-in-law. Something is seriously wrong. Brother-in-law, I didn't think of something until just now, brother-in-law!" Malik paused and said in horror, "Do you remember taking us before?
Go to the 'Dark Tapiron' at the Pharaoh's Memory Tablet? He has collected several [Millennium Artifacts] before, including my sister's [Millennium Jewelry]."
"When I was playing a game just now, I conquered a big sister character, and suddenly I remembered that we haven't called my sister until now to ask her about her situation!"
Malik's voice fell, but he could not see even a trace of surprise on Hayato's face. Hayato said calmly: "Oh, you said Yin Xisi, but when I just came back from the memory world,
You've called her, haven't you?"
"Xie Shen-chan didn't lie. Yin Xisi is completely fine, but she did tell me that if you never remember her, you will be the one who gets into trouble."
"Then why didn't you remind me, brother-in-law!" Malik could already imagine what a sad ending he would have when he went back to see Yin Xisi, and he shouted desperately:
