Chapter 756: Kaiba: This is Science
"Kaiba, breakfast is ready~"
A voice entered Kaiba's ears, waking him from his sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, Kaiba saw a chubby face approaching him.
If it were anyone else, seeing such a dark face appear before them right after being woken up might startle them, making them think they had transmigrated into a cotton field. However, Kaiba was as calm as ever, looking at the chubby guy in front of him with no expression.
"What did you just say, Bobasa?"
"Bobasa just said, 'Kaiba, breakfast is ready~', like that~" The chubby face recoiled slightly, repeating what he had just said, and as if to show off his morning's results, he lifted the pile of fruit and bread he was holding in his arms slightly. The beard on his mouth trembled with his movements.
Not caring much about Kaiba's cold attitude, the fat man named "Bobasa" placed the food from his arms onto a nearby stone table. He helped himself to a piece of bread and put it in his mouth. "Eat up, Kaiba~"
Bread that ordinary people would need to slice and eat bit by bit was just one bite each for Bobasa's large mouth, which matched his size. He swallowed it down smoothly without much chewing, ready for the next portion. Although the large amount of food Bobasa brought covered the entire table, given his eating speed, it was hard to say how much would be left in the end.
Therefore, Kaiba also had no choice but to come to the table and start eating without fuss. He ate a piece of bread that Bobasa could finish in one bite, along with a few fruits, to fill his stomach.
Holding a grape in front of his eyes, Kaiba said with a slight sigh, "It's truly amazing. I can actually touch grapes from a thousand years ago in this state."
"Huh? What do you mean by 'this state'?" Bobasa patted his stomach, looking full, yet at the same time, he put an entire bunch of grapes into his mouth. When he pulled it out, only the stems were left. He swallowed the grape flesh, skin and seeds included, in one bite.
However, Kaiba merely glanced at Bobasa's peculiar way of eating. He put the grape in his hand into his mouth and said, "Hmph, does that even need to be said? The reason I can appear in this ancient era, who knows how many years ago, is definitely because the D-Wheel I used before malfunctioned, causing me to enter a state of quantum entanglement."
"It's also normal for the time rules in the Quantum Realm to be different from the normal world. I, who entered the Quantum Realm from the Future, left the Quantum Realm at this point in time due to the state of quantum entanglement. Theoretically, as long as I create a device that can dispel my current entangled state, I can return to the point in time when I entered the Quantum Realm."
Kaiba used the most easily understandable language he could to provide a description, fundamentally not paying attention to Bobasa, whose eyes were spiraling like mosquito coils as if listening to gibberish.
"However, the question is, before I dispel the state of quantum entanglement on my body, I do not belong to this era, nor do I belong to the Future. I am in the past, but people from the past cannot touch me or even see me. I also cannot interact with things from this era. I used an entire day yesterday to confirm this point."
Kaiba said calmly, though he sealed the startled expression he had yesterday when a running child passed straight through his body after he entered the Royal City, deep within his mind, refusing to recall it. Then, he looked at the foolish-looking Bobasa, his expression becoming somewhat serious. "But you can see my existence."
"Not only that, you, like me in a state of quantum entanglement, cannot be seen or touched by people of this era. If that were the only thing, I would at most suspect that you are someone who accidentally entered a state of quantum entanglement just like me. But you can take things from this era according to your will, and even make them into a state that I can also touch."
Kaiba stared at Bobasa, paused, and asked, "Bobasa, just what kind of person are you?"
Although Kaiba had built up the atmosphere to a considerably serious degree after a series of setup, coupled with his questioning, someone with insufficient mental fortitude would likely have honestly spilled everything.
However, when Bobasa heard that Kaiba had finally finished his incomprehensible explanation and asked the question, he just smiled foolishly and said, "Hehe, Bobasa doesn't know."
As he spoke, Bobasa opened his mouth again, sweeping up a lot of food from the table and putting it into his mouth. The tabletop was cleaned quite thoroughly.
Actually, Kaiba had already asked Bobasa this question yesterday. At that time, he also used the exact same method to evade it. Unable to tell if Bobasa was genuinely foolish or just pretending, Kaiba gave a cold snort, didn't press further, and sat down again.
After he arrived in this era yesterday, he only managed to get food to fill his stomach after meeting Bobasa. Although his intuition told Kaiba that this guy in front of him definitely mastered some important information that he didn't know, Kaiba was actually someone cold on the outside but warm in his heart. He couldn't bring himself to force a confession out of Bobasa, who had shown him kindness.
Since Bobasa wasn't willing to tell him, he would just let it go. Anyway, as long as he resolved the "quantum entanglement" state on his body, he could return to the Real World. Whatever secrets the opponent held had nothing to do with Kaiba.
As for having finally come to a thousand years ago and whether or not to look into the many unsolved mysteries of the ancient era, that wouldn't pique Kaiba's curiosity at all. After all, Kaiba Seto has always been someone who looks towards the Future rather than dwelling in the past. Compared to collecting antiques, even tightening a few screws on a new invention would be more interesting.
Thinking this, Kaiba walked to the window of the Room and glanced at the weather Outside the City. For some reason, even though there were many dark clouds in the sky Outside the City just now when Kaiba was woken up by Bobasa, in the blink of an eye, it had cleared up. It was truly a bit strange—
Kaiba rubbed his eyes and looked at The Winged Dragon of Ra gradually disappearing in the direction Outside the City. He was filled with disbelief at what he saw.
That was The Winged Dragon of Ra, right? He shouldn't be fatigued enough to be having illusions. That means The Winged Dragon of Ra was just Outside the City—The Winged Dragon of Ra, one of the "Three Egyptian Gods" that Kaiba had only seen in the hand of that guy Hayato Kobayashi, was appearing!?
In this era, could it be that Duel Monsters exist? I suddenly changed my mind!
Kaiba suddenly gave up the idea of just returning to the modern era. If he used this era to train his Duel Monsters skill level, wouldn't he gain several years more duel training than Hayato and Yugi, who should currently be traveling the World with that sucker Pegasus?
When I return to the modern era, won't I just crush everyone? The advantage is mine!
The excited Kaiba thought this. He turned back, wanting to eat a couple more bites of bread, but found the table so clean it reflected light, while Bobasa was sucking on his finger.
