is an act of revenge because of the story from back then. But I'll say it again: it was purely business! Whoever accepts such an offer is yourself guilty and unsuitable for running a company.Iwould never have got involved in something like that, and Istill have my company. Your father was just a bad manager and if he can't cope with defeat it's not my fault! "
Atsumi glared at him angrily: "You don't understand absolutelynothing, Seto Tejima!" "Stop calling me that!", Kaiba replies unkindly, "My name is Seto Kaiba! I have that name Hard earned for me and honestly deserved. Seto Tejima no longer exists! ”“ That is your real name, Seto! ”Atsumi exclaims angrily,“ Why do you just refuse to remember your past so persistently? ”Kaiba glares at her grimly . His jaw grinding and his hand clenching into a fist. "Because there is absolutely nothing in my past that is worth remembering!" He squeezes out. "Thatcanand thatIjust don't want tobelieve, Seto!" Says Atsumi, shaking his head, "We had a lot of fun together. We used to be friends!"
"We have never been friends!", Kaiba replies coldly, "You were a rich, spoiled brat and because your father was always on business, you were mostly alone. We lived next door and that's why I was The ideal pastime for you. You ruthlessly exploited the fact that I was also at home alone. You kept playing your games with me. At that time I didn't notice it because I was too young, but today I'm no longer like that as naive as then. Today I see the matter very clearly.
"You have blackmailed, tricked and humiliated me over and over again. You took advantage of my situation and made fun of it to bait me with promises that you never thought you would fulfill. And you always turned something up so that in the end you were in good shape I may have endured that over and over again at the time, although I hated it, but it certainly doesn't work for me anymore! You say we were friends? I assure you: You are just telling yourself that! For you it was I'm nothing more than a toy! "
Atsumi stands there as if moved by thunder. Speechless, she looks over at Kaiba. Yami also watches Kaiba thoughtfully. "That's why Kaiba is so bad at talking about friendship", Yugi remarks, "He apparently had some bad experiences with Atsumi." "Hmm!", Yami ponders, "Apparently a lot of the reasons for Kaiba's behavior are buried in his past. The only regret is that he prefers to ignore what happened rather than grapple with it and accept it. By eating it further and further he just got more and more bitter and obstinate. "
"Poor guy!", says Yugi, "Basically you can only feel sorry for him. That way he will never find real friends. Can't we do something for him?" “I don't know what,” admits Yami, “but maybe I'm wrong, but I have the impression that Atsumi is trying to do it.""[i]Atsumi? ", Yugi asks astonished,"How do you come up with that? "" I don't know, it's kind of a feeling, but I don't think she really means any harm to him, otherwise she would have had the opportunity long ago. "His gaze now goes over to Atsumi, who is still standing there in silence.
Finally she lifts her head. "No, Seto, if someone is telling himself something, it's you! I just can't believe that you've forgotten everything," she looks at him now, almost pleadingly, "We were best friends, we were almost inseparable! Youhave to remind you! "Kaiba throws her a contemptuous look:" Don't be ridiculous! I remember[i]very welland believe me, they are not good memories! "
Atsumi stares sadly at the floor. At first she doesn't say anything, then she clenches her fist: "No, that's enough for me! I'll make sure that you remember!" "No interest!", Says Kaiba firmly, "Because now I've had enough too! I want to get out of this virtual reality right now, or we both really have a problem! "" Out of the question! ", She sparkles," You don't leave here until you've accepted the truth! "" Well then I can wait a long time! ", Kaiba crosses her arms. "Don't worry, I'll be brief!" Atsumi gives him a serious look.
Then she looks at Noah: "I need the first scenario. Where did you send him?" A light flash of light flashes over Noah's face and in the next moment the villa in which she used to live appears some distance away. Yami watches the whole thing in amazement, while Kaiba just grimaces in disgruntlement. "What's the point?", He says, "If you intend to repeat all of this over and over again, this will take a long time!"
Then the four of them walk towards the house. Little Seto is standing in front of the gate, peering through the bars with a sad look. Young Yuki stands in the front yard and laughs at him. Again is a "coward, coward!" to listen.
Kaiba scowls. "Even if you don't believe it, but I remember very well that we often played together and every time you beat me, you played yourself up and laughed at me according to all the rules of the art. Do you really want to tell me That wouldn't have happened? ”Atsumi shakes his head seriously. "The system reacts to your memories, Seto. On whatyouremembered. But that doesn't have to be the truth." "So you mean I don't remember correctly?" Says Kaiba, " What is there to be misunderstood about this picture? "With this he points to the scene that is taking place in front of you.
With an energetic gesture from Atsumi, the scenario instantly freezes. “I also remember this scene,” she says, “and I don't remember it much differently.” “Well then!” Says Kaiba snippily."But unlike you, I also remember what happened before that," she continues. "What was that supposed to be?" Asks Kaiba contemptuously. "I can show you that!" Says Atsumi. She makes a gesture and a moment later you are inside the building.
You are standing in a large room. There are two people crouching on the floor. It's Seto and Yuki who are just under five years old. You are apparently engrossed in a game of Dueling Monsters. Little Seto is just saying with a shy smile: "My Niwatori is attacking your life points! I think you have already lost again!" The girl grimaces, depressed. "Oh Menno, Seto!", She grumbles, "You have already won again. You win all the time. No matter what we play, you always win." "Yes," the girl pouts, "but only very rarely. You can master every game we start in no time!" The boy scratches his head, embarrassed: "Well, I like games. Should shall we play again? "The girl beamed up:" Sure! "Again they prepare their cards and start playing again.
"Don't you remember that either, Seto?", Yuki asks him now. Kaiba looks in silence at what is happening in front of him. "We both played a lot together. My father had brought a lot of games with him from his travels. He was a real collector. We had all sorts of different versions of the most diverse games. Every time you came to visit, we tried a new one. But no matter which game we played, you almost always won, you seem to have forgotten that. You were just better than me. "
The scene continues a bit and the young Yuki is jumping up from the floor. “Yes!” She shouts, “I won, I won! Seto is the loser!” Then she makes long noses at him while the little boy looks at her sadly. The girl jumps up and down sardonically: "You have lost and I am the greatest! Haha, you have no chance against me!" The little boy's face becomes sadder with every word. Then suddenly he jumps up and runs out of the room. The girl runs after him, laughing. The four observers stay behind.
"I've won so rarely that I've tasted it every time," explains Atsumi. "And you think that makes it less hurtful?" Asks Kaiba bitterly. Atsumi slowly shakes his head: "No, of course not. But I was only five years old, I didn't even think that far." Kaiba snorted contemptuously: "That's a very convenient excuse!"
Atsumi puts his arms in his side, annoyed: "My goodness Seto, don't make such a big deal out of it! We were children back then. Children fight incessantly, that's part of it, but they are reconciled just as quickly .It was no different with us. If you think about it carefully, we usually played together again an hour later. "
Awakened by her words, some images arise in Kaiba. It is true! Now that she says it, he remembers how many times he has won. But he never made such a big deal of it as she did. But even if she laughed at him every time, for some stupid reason he kept walking over to her.
Kaiba looks to the side, annoyed: "What nonsense! I can't remember that at all. Try serving your fairy tales to someone else! You're not convincing me!"
"Oh Seto!", Atsumi shakes his head with a sigh, "Why don't you believe what you see with your own eyes? Why are you just so obstinate? We were really friends, why can't you just admit that?" Couldn't it be more likely that it just happened to you that way in your little private palace? ", Kaiba replies," You say this system reacts to personal memories. I think more likely that you are the one who remembers wrongly. Basically you were far too fine for yourself to be friends with someone of my class at the time. You didn't even want to come to our house. We always had to meet at your home. "
"What nonsense!" Atsumi exclaims, "I've been to your home very often. We've been to you almost as often as to me." "And should I believe you?" Says Kaiba contemptuously. Suddenly there is movement in the environment. The floor begins to sway and the contours of the room melt away. Everything looks a bit chaotic. The eyes of the bystanders widen in surprise. “What does that mean?” Asks Kaiba, “Is that going to be one of your flashbacks again?” “It's not me,” Atsumi defends himself, “Apparently our technology reacts to your memories this time, Seto.” “Great!” , says Kaiba dryly, "Then maybe you'll finally believe me."
Eventually the environment becomes sharp again. You are standing in front of a small family house. But you are not
