Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

Turning his head to glance at V, the right eye, the only part of the jade throne visible, narrowed instantly:

"Don't even think about letting him go. It would be a lot of trouble if such a powerful duelist were to be used by Fica."

"Yes, I understand, Father."

After respectfully responding to the throne, V stepped forward and took the ropes binding Soreva's hands, practically dragging Soreva out of the room.

Just after leaving the room and out of the throne's sight, Soreva softly asked V in front of him:

“V. Since your father won’t tell you, can you tell me what Dr. Fika did to make your father like this?”

"You're really persistent."

Hearing that Soreva was still persistent in asking him questions, V couldn't help but sigh. Soreva shrugged and said:

"I've been dragged into this feud between your two families. At least let me die knowing why, right?"

“We’re not some kind of serial killer. As long as you don’t help the Fica family stop us from getting revenge, we won’t just kill you.”

I couldn't help but complain, but after thinking about my father's previous plans and actions, I felt uncertain.

Take Shark and his sister as examples. They were victims caught up in the feud between the two families. Even Shark's sister, Rio Kamishiro, almost faced a life-threatening situation.

All of this transformed into pressure, weighing heavily on the kind-hearted V's heart. So much so that, faced with Soreva's relentless pursuit, he too felt a fleeting urge to vent his frustration.

"I don't actually know much about what happened back then. My father didn't tell me everything that happened."

All I know is that before my father's accident, he and Fika were close friends with shared aspirations. That time, my father and Fika seemed to have found something helpful to their research, so they found an adventurer named Kazuma Tsukumo and went on an exploration with him.

"and many more!"

Upon hearing the familiar name in V's words, Soreva immediately stopped in his tracks, a look of surprise on his face, and asked V,

"You mean that adventurer's name is Tsukumo Kazuma?"

"Yes."

Seeing Soreva stop, V immediately stopped as well, nodded, and could tell that Soreva's reaction probably meant he knew something.

Do you know that guy, Kujuku Ichima?

"If it were him personally, I wouldn't know him. However, I am very good friends with his two children who were left behind."

"I see."

Upon hearing Soreva's reply, V's eyes instantly revealed a look of sadness and pity.

In his view, the siblings that Soreva mentioned might be even more pitiful than the three brothers themselves.

Although the current throne has undergone a drastic change in temperament and is now immersed in revenge against Fica, he does not even trust his own son. Even the three brothers can vaguely sense that the throne is only using them as pawns.

Even so, the throne returned, offering some solace to the three brothers.

However, based on the intelligence they have gathered and Soreva's words, it is clear that the adventurer named Kazuma Kujukyu has not returned.

In other words, the brother and sister he left behind truly lost their father's presence.

However, such pity was fleeting; over the years, V had learned how to quickly suppress his emotions. Putting aside this trace of pity, V continued speaking to Soreva:

"Of all the adventures, only Fika returned, while my father, Yuzuo, and Kujuku Kazuma also disappeared at that time."

At the time, I wasn't capable of taking care of my younger brothers, so I had to send them to an orphanage. Just like that, our happy family fell apart.

"But your father did come back eventually, didn't he?"

Following Soreva's pointless remark, V nodded and said in a deep voice:

"That's right. Later, after I had been Kaito's teacher for a while, my father came back. But when he came back, he had changed into what he is now."

And I learned from my father that his disappearance was entirely Fika's doing!

Chapter 402: The Trapped Soreva, Yang Dou Ultimately Falls into the Hands of the Jade Throne

"I see."

Having figured out the source of the Jade Throne family's hatred for Fica, Soreva couldn't help but ask curiously,

"Then, I'd like to ask, during the time the throne disappeared, did he experience anything?"

Faced with Soreva's question, V could only shake his head with a bitter face:

"I don't know the specifics, and my father didn't seem willing to talk about these things with us. However, I think my father must have gone through a lot of pain."

His original height wasn't like this, but after he returned from his disappearance, he had become the size of a child, even his face..."

Although V didn't continue, Soreva could guess that the face hidden behind the iron mask was probably completely different from the one he used to have.

Nodding, Soreva immediately said:

"Alright, I have nothing more to ask."

"Then, let's go."

Following V's footsteps, Soreva quickly arrived at the door of a room, and V opened the door as well:

"You'll stay here for now, until we've finished our revenge."

Soreva looked around the room and saw that it was fully furnished with a bed, table, chairs and other daily necessities, and he could even see the door to the ensuite bathroom.

Soreva had no objection to these conditions, but were they a bit too good for a prisoner like him?

Noticing the suspicious look in Soreva's eyes, V knew what Soreva was wondering and immediately explained:

"There's nothing we can do. This is our home, and we don't have the resources to build you a prison. We can only find a guest room for you to stay in."

Now, go inside.

With a push from V, Soreva stumbled a few steps into the room. Seeing V turn to close the door and leave, Soreva quickly called out:

"Etc., etc!"

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

Seeing that V had paused instead of leaving immediately, Soreva immediately raised his hands, which were still bound by ropes, indicating:

"Before you leave, could you please untie the ropes for me? Otherwise, how am I supposed to eat or use the restroom?"

However, after Soreva made that suggestion, V rolled his eyes at him.

"If I untie you now, what if you just run away? I'm not that stupid. You'll have to figure this out yourself in your room!"

Having said that, V slammed the door shut and locked it from the outside with a key, leaving Soleva shouting inside:

"What do you mean I should figure it out in my room?! Come back here!"

However, V had already left Soreva's door as the footsteps faded into the distance. At that moment, Zero flew out of Soreva's body.

After looking around the room for a while, Zero, with a deadpan expression, pointed towards the bedside table in the room to Soreva:

"Soreva, is it possible that when he said you should figure it out yourself in the room, he meant that?"

Following Zero's pointing finger, Soreva was shocked to see a pair of scissors openly displayed on the bedside table, and immediately gasped:

"Hiss—there's this too? I didn't even notice it!"

Overjoyed, Soreva rushed to the bedside table, grabbed the scissors, and started fiddling with them. Within minutes, Soreva's hands were officially free.

"Phew! That feels good, the ropes are finally off!"

After cutting the ropes with scissors, Soreva shook off his hands, which had been bound by the ropes, and began to search for a way to escape.

Unfortunately, the windows and other possible escape routes in this room were almost all blocked, making escape nearly impossible.

The only main entrance also has a small opening at the bottom, which is only for serving meals, completely avoiding the need to open the door to deliver meals, which could have allowed Soreva to escape.

"But this prison food..."

As noon approached, Soreva saw a hamburger, fries, and a cola being stuffed into the small food serving opening, and couldn't help but laugh.

"That's really creative."

However, judging from the color of the sleeve, the hand that stuffed the hamburger and fries inside didn't seem to belong to V; the slightly pinkish color made it more like…

"III, thank you for lunch."

Upon hearing Soreva's words of thanks, III outside the door immediately responded:

"You are welcome."

However, it seemed that it wasn't just III outside the door; IV's voice also rang out triumphantly after III's:

"Hey, weren't you really good at duels? Well, you've been caught by us now, haven't you? By the way, let me tell you, that brat you were protecting yesterday has been caught by us too!"

Hahaha! In the end, you didn't protect anything at all!?

"Ⅳ".

Seeing IV mocking Soleva, who was locked inside the door, III immediately complained to IV.

However, IV ignored III's voice and continued speaking to Soreva inside the door:

"This afternoon, Father will use that ritual to seize that brat's power and memories. We might let you watch then."

"Oh!"

A loud bang came from behind the door; it was undoubtedly the sound of Soreva's fist slamming heavily against the door.

Upon hearing this sound, IV continued to verbally provoke Soreva:

"Looks like you're really angry! But what good will your anger do? You can't save that brat if you can't leave this room!"

"IV, stop talking."

Seeing that IV's provocations against Soreva were becoming increasingly arrogant, III immediately grabbed IV and dragged him away from the doorway of Soreva's room.

Inside the room, Soreva, whose fist was red and swollen from slamming it against the door, immediately spoke to Zero:

"Zero, could you please go and protect Yangdou, that child?"

However, Zero frowned and shook her head in response to Soreva's request:

“I’m sorry, Soleva. I was able to protect you because I was attached to you and close enough to protect you.”

If I leave you to protect that child, not only will the effect be greatly reduced, but I'm also worried that they might take this opportunity to harm you again and do something bad.

"I'm sorry, Soreva, I can't take that risk."
