Chapter 189 - Time to Find the Old Man

When Jaden first read this manga titled Yu-Gi-Oh!, he was looking at it as a way to pass the time.

Although his entire demeanor seemed to have changed after coming to this world, back before he had decided to be with Erina, Jaden originally just planned to be a shut-in at home, using his memory and sign-in advantage to be a plagiarist writer, making some money, and so on.

According to his thinking at the time, he should have been the type with a healthy body and some basic martial arts skills, who, while working as a plagiarist, spent his days hanging out with beautiful girls who were manga artists, novelists-artists from similar professions, and become the popular protagonist of a slice-of-life anime.

But now...

Seriously, he felt that if he was bored one day and suddenly asked Totsuki to fund the organization of a "World Martial Arts Tournament," it seemed entirely possible!

He had truly set foot on a path he had never imagined.

However, he only walked this path; although he himself had changed somewhat, his preferences had not significantly changed.

So, he still liked reading manga.

He was also very interested in this manga from another world.

And then...

When he opened the manga and saw that the protagonist was named Yugi, he clearly paused.

"Sharing a name with the Yuki old man, that's quite a coincidence."

"But the old man definitely wouldn't dye his hair like this... it's too exaggerated."

Jaden was afraid of waking Erina, so even though he was surprised, he deliberately kept his voice low, then continued to flip through the pages.

"Does the protagonist's grandpa look a little like the old man...?"

"And this Kaiba... Isn't that the name the old man told me to look for first if I wanted to find him before he left?"

Jaden began to feel a bit strange.

It wasn't until he saw Kuriboh that he finally realized.

"The cards in this Yu-Gi-Oh! are the same as the cards the old man gave me!?"

He had always kept the cards the old man gave him carefully protected in a card case and carried them with him.

He took them out now to compare, and found that the cards in the manga were indeed the same as the ones in his hand...

Moreover, he then took out his phone to search online and discovered that he couldn't find any manga called Yu-Gi-Oh! at all!

However, the "Industrial Illusions" company mentioned in the manga... although the company had long been in decline and there was little information about it online now, it genuinely existed!

And the boss of Industrial Illusions decades ago was really named-Pegasus J. Crawford!

Huh!?

So many things that may or may not be coincidences appeared at once, causing Jaden to frown.

He now started to feel that this manga was not simple!

He began to read it with utmost seriousness, terrified of missing a single detail-he hadn't been this serious even when facing Izuru Kamukura!

He kept reading.

Then he even saw the old man Ryuuta!

When he saw Yugi become the King of Games, he raised an eyebrow.

-The old man had indeed said he used to be the King of Games!

Furthermore...

If everything in this manga was real.

Then how did the Shadow Games, the Millennium Items, and the 'Duel Monsters' that once swept the globe decades ago due to these supernatural elements disappear?

They didn't even leave a trace!

Just looking at how addicted these people were to cards... they probably couldn't quit even after decades, right?

With this thought, Jaden continued to flip through the pages.

Then came the secrets of the Millennium Items, the Three Egyptian God Cards, the Pharaoh... After he finished reading Yugi's entire story, he closed the manga and let out a long breath.

-He read it very quickly!

However, with his current concentration and dynamic vision as a martial artist, he believed he hadn't missed any details.

He only regretted that this manga didn't come with a USB drive; if it did, the content, drawing, or writing skills would have been transferred to him upon drawing it.

Otherwise, he would have known all this in the morning!

Thinking of this, Jaden frowned slightly.

"If all of these are coincidences from another world, then that's fine... But if these things are all true, then the old man going to find Kaiba this time must be because something else happened!"

-The old man might be saving the world right now!

Thinking of this, Jaden's frown deepened.

Saving the world... that's too dangerous!

However, he didn't rush to make a decision at this moment, but continued to take out the next volume-the manga that told the story after the old man.

Then he saw the name of the second protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series.

-Jaden!

This name...

When Jaden first saw this name, he thought it was going to talk about something related to himself, but after flipping through the pages, he confirmed one thing.

-This miracle draw dog is definitely not me!

Not only is he not the kind of person who solves problems with card games, but even if he did play, he felt he should play in a more kingly or more overbearing manner!

This "Hero" deck felt somewhat lacking.

-Why didn't you put an Obelisk the Tormentor in your deck!

When the opponent is at their most arrogant, just slam down an Obelisk and blow their mind!

Although he felt a little sorry for the old man, Jaden sincerely felt that Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Obelisk the Tormentor were cooler!

With this thought, Jaden continued to read.

The beginning parts were fine.

But... when he saw Haou Jaden (Supreme King Jaden), his eye twitched.

-Could the royal blood in his body represent this!?

And...

-Adding Super Polymerization to the deck really made things much more comfortable!

Was he... the Supreme King?

After finishing the second part, the more Jaden thought about it, the more confused he became!

But he still forced himself to finish the subsequent parts as well.

The third part seemed to be about what happened decades after the old man became the King of Games, but from the current perspective, the world described in the third part seems to be different from the current world.

The world of the third part was still the age of duelists.

But now...

Just thinking about the empire's leader unilaterally initiating a peace treaty with him, Jaden felt that this world was about to become the age of martial artists.

He hadn't seen this kind of card, aside from the two the old man gave him, ever again.

And he hadn't opened the protective case on the two cards the old man gave him to see what the card underneath Kuriboh was.

"If everything in the manga is true, then the old man making you my amulet means he plans for you to save my life at a critical moment, right..."

He looked at the Kuriboh in his hand, ultimately still didn't open the protective case to see the card covered underneath, but merely sighed at Kuriboh. Then he put away the manga and, without waking Erina, gently leaned back into his airplane seat, casually looking out the window, looking down at the clouds, lost in thought.

He had originally planned to look for the old man after the Izuru Kamukura incident was over.

Now that he had read this manga... his desire to find the old man was even stronger!

So...

-After going back, he would start looking for this Kaiba!

If the content of the manga was true, then even though he wasn't a duelist and didn't play cards, he still had to help the old man if there was anything he needed help with.

Even if the manga's content was all fake, it had been a while since he had seen the old man and the little kids.

He wondered if they were doing well.

It was time to go look for them.
