"Digimon 04" Like Water and Clear Song

Chapter 19: A sense of loss

Junpei furled the sail, and the speed of the ship gradually slowed down.Unable to wait for the boat to come to a complete stop, the three of them jumped out of the boat along with Pogomon and Q&Amon, and ran towards the direction where Takuya and the others landed.Watching the three of Takuya fall to the ground, the parachute made of canvas buried them in an instant.Neither Junpei nor Koizumi laughed out loud, and even Kotoe couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

"What's so funny!" Takuya lifted the canvas covering himself, and soon his eyes fell on Kotoe, "Kotoe!" Yuki rushed to Kotoe before him: "Kotoe E, you're fine! Brother Takuya and I are both worried about you!" He raised his head and said to Kotoe, "Brother Takuya even quarreled with Huiji because of you!"

"Eh?" Kotoe looked at Takuya puzzled, but he smiled embarrassedly.Kouji folded his arms and turned to the side, obviously unwilling to participate in this conversation.

"Speaking of which, Kotoe, why did Grotonmon arrest you?" Ignoring Yuki's words, Takuya returned to the main topic, "How did you escape? Why are you with Junpei and Koizumi again?" His questions came one after another, without any time for Kotoe to turn around.

"Okay! Takuya!" Junpei grabbed Takuya's shoulder with one hand, "Before asking others questions, you must first report your own situation! Koizumi and I have done a great job this time! What about you?" He Cheerfully, he changed the subject without a trace.Kotoe nodded gratefully to Junpei, and Junpei responded by winking at Kotoe while Takumi was not paying attention.

Takuya quickly forgot about it—probably pretending to.

After leaving the grassland, everyone returned to the forest again.Bogomon jumped onto a boulder and said solemnly: "Finally, we are almost at the border of the forest kingdom!"

"Hey, Pokomon," Junpei asked Pogomon impatiently after walking for a long time, and what happened before, "How long will it take to get to the forest terminal we are going to?" ah?"

"It should be not far ahead." Bogo Beast still looked into the distance.

"Just in front?" Junpei's brain automatically translated the dialogue of Bogomon, and he lowered his head in frustration, "Oh...so far away!"

"How about we rest in the forest?" Kotoe glanced at the sky that had been dyed orange red by the setting sun, and suggested.

I didn't expect her to speak like this, but everyone was stunned. "Ah, that's really strange! To hear Kotoe make such a considerate suggestion!" Junpei looked at her with excited eyes, "It just so happens that my stomach is going to be hungry!" "Me too." Youshu rubbed his stomach, and it made a protesting "grunt" sound in coordination.

"Well..." Takuya thought for a while, "Then let's camp here tonight." After obtaining everyone's consent, Takuya assigned tasks to everyone like a captain, "Then let's split up to find firewood and food !"

"That's right!" Koizumi took out a green apple from somewhere, "Look, can this be eaten?"

Bogomon approached Koizumi and carefully examined the apple in her hand: "Oh! This is a fleshy apple!" Glancing at the expressions of "never heard of it" in the crowd, Bogomon spontaneously explained to everyone, "This is a kind of The fruit of the tree, after being roasted, will flow out gravy, which is very nutritious."

"How did you have this?" Takuya asked curiously, pointing to the fruit in Koizumi's hand.

Koizumi came back to his senses, and pointed to the open space not far from the forest: "I just picked it up on the ground. I think there should be a lot around here." The tree couldn't help showing a smile. "Kotoe, Pogomon, let's go find it together."

"Eh?" Before Kotoe could respond, Koizumi took the initiative to hold Kotoe's hand, and the two walked towards the forest together.And Bogomon dragged the Q&Amon's belt, and actively followed behind the two girls. "I'm going too!" You Shu also trotted a few steps to follow.

After walking in the woods for a while, Youshu suddenly stopped.He turned around blankly, as if he was looking for something in the dense woods. "What's wrong?" Koizumi was the first to notice Youshu's strangeness, and asked him with concern.

"Did you hear any sound?" You Shu was still looking for the source of the sound just now.

"Well..." Koizumi looked around, "There is nothing."

"Ah! There!" He thought that Yushu had found something, but he didn't expect that what he found was actually a tree with fleshy apples. "I found it!" "There are so many shapes!" The two rushed to the tree with fleshy apples impatiently.

Seeing the excitement of the two, Qin Hui shook her head helplessly.But... She slowly turned her eyes to the bushes beside her.She also heard the voice Youshu mentioned just now.It's just that at first she thought it was an ordinary rumor, but after hearing Youshu's mention, she felt a little strange.

"Qin Hui, what are you doing standing there? Come and help us pick apples!" Koizumi urged her with a bunch of fleshy apples waving.And Youshu directly used his pumpkin-shaped hat as a container, filling it full.Forget it, maybe she is too sensitive.Ever since she left that dark area, she seemed not quite normal.Thinking of this, Kotoe patted her cheek and walked in the direction of Koizumi and the others.

Back at the agreed camp, Takuya, Teruji and Junpei had already found a bunch of dead branches.Junpei led the girls and Yuki, the youngest, to string apples onto thin branches, while Takuya and Teruji were in charge of starting the fire.According to Pokomon's introduction, this fruit can only fully display its deliciousness after being grilled.The greedy Junpei didn't listen to Pogomon's advice, and couldn't resist taking a bite of the raw fruit, which turned ugly because it was too unpalatable.

"Koizumi, the fire is ready!" Hearing the report of Pogomon, several people rushed towards the fire with apples in their hands.But after running a few steps, Yuki stopped again. "Youshu?" Qin E, who was still walking slowly, turned her head and glanced at him, "What's the matter?" Judging by his expression, he should have discovered something.

"Uh...well," Youshu shook his head, "It's okay, it should be, it's okay." Having said that, he still looked in the direction of the sky uneasily.

"Hey, Kotoe, Tomoki, what are you still dawdling about!" Junpei and Koizumi had already set the fruit on the bonfire.Seeing that the two of them were still in a daze, Junpei opened his mouth and urged.

The two looked at each other, then exchanged helpless smiles, and then walked towards the bonfire together.

Under the temperature of the flame, the color of the fleshy apples changed slightly, and some began to turn into an attractive flesh color.And at this moment, Takuya suddenly asked: "Pogomon, what is the spirit of a beast-shaped fighter?"

Kotoe was stretching her hands close to the campfire to keep warm.It is always cool to be in the forest at night.She didn't expect that Taku would ask this question without warning.Unexpectedly, he was still thinking about the beast-shaped fighter spirit displayed by the Groton beast at that time.Transferring the evolved Giant Rock Beast left the five of them almost powerless.

"I don't know either." Bogomon replied simply.

"Then what about the book you've been reading? Isn't it recorded in the book?" Takuya still didn't give up.

Bogomon obediently took out the big green book from its bib.But he turned the pages of the book several times, but he couldn't find any information about the "beast-shaped fighter spirit".At this time, the Q&A Beast stretched out its hand and touched the pages of the book. "Don't touch it indiscriminately!" Pogomon immediately scolded the Q&A beast.The Q&A Beast's expression was a little aggrieved: "But this page..."

The page that the Quiz Beast touched turned out to be two pages that were accidentally glued together.Pogomon immediately tore open the page, quickly glanced at the words on the page, and said excitedly: "I know! The legendary ten fighters have two kinds of fighter spirits!"

This news surprised several people.

"One is the spirit of a human-shaped fighter, and the other is the spirit of a beast-shaped fighter." Pogoo's small paws scratched across the words on the book, and introduced to everyone, "The spirit of a beast-shaped fighter is the spirit of a fighter in the form of a beast." The ancient Luoton beast is a humanoid fighter of the earth type fighter, and the giant rock beast is the beast-shaped fighter form.

"So we are only half fighters." Koizumi looked a little disappointed.

"Ahem." Junpei coughed unnaturally a few times, then he touched Koizumi's shoulder again, signaling her Kotoe's direction.Koizumi soon realized that she had said something wrong, "No, Kotoe, I mean..." She panicked and wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know what to say to make it back.

"It's okay, Kotoe, you can definitely find your fighter spirit!" Takuya smiled brightly and encouraged her generously.

Kotoe maintained the posture of tucking her legs and wrapping her arms around her knees.The flickering light of the bonfire flickered in her pale gray pupils. "Probably, I can't find it." After hesitating for a long time, she still told the fact she already knew.

"Don't say such depressing words..."

"No," Kotoe interrupted Junpei lightly, "It should be really impossible to get it." Kotoe's fingers unconsciously drew circles on the grass, "Because, my fighter spirit, in Jilu In the hands of the Beast." She finally had the courage to speak out this fact, even though what she was about to face was the consequence of becoming a burden to everyone.

"Eh? How come?" Several people who had been with her for a long time looked at her in surprise, and even Kouji, who had always been emotionally indifferent, showed a look of surprise.Pogomon's reaction was even stronger: "Cherubimon? Kotoe, how did you get involved with him?!"

"Well, that's why Grotonmon took me away. It probably belongs to my fighter spirit, and it's in the hands of Cherubimon." Kotoe smiled self-deprecatingly, "Cherubimon uses fighters The spirit came to seduce me. If I accepted the 'Water Warrior Spirit', I might be everyone's enemy by now."

"It must be a lie! How can you believe the enemy's words casually!" Takuya immediately retorted, he wanted to use this to dispel Kotoe's depression.

"I don't think that's a lie." Kotoe repeated what Cherubimon had said to her, "Among the three angel Digimons in the past, Cherubimon kept the five warrior spirits, and the holy goddess kept the spirits of the five warriors." There are three, and Ultimate Angelmon keeps two. Is this statement true or false, should it be recorded in Pogomon's book?"

Bogomon quickly turned the pages of the book, and when he confirmed the words on the book, he lowered his head in frustration: "Kintoe is right."

Qin Hui smiled faintly, and then looked around at the few people sitting beside her: "One, two, three, four, five. You all happen to be the successors of the five warrior spirits kept by the holy goddess beast and the ultimate angel beast. Ah, there is one more thing to remind everyone, the five fighter spirits in Cherubimon's hands should have found suitable owners. So maybe the enemies we will face next, besides Grotonmon, may also be There are four other fighters. One of them...he is very strong." She tried to keep her tone calm without any fluctuations, but in the end she found that her throat was sore that she couldn't speak.

The enemy's Digimon with the same voice as Keichi, and the fighter spirit she couldn't get, these two things stuck in her chest, Kotoe let out a deep breath, suppressing her desire to The urge to cry.

The rest of the children followed suit.Some of them understood why Kotoe was reluctant to tell her experience after being taken away.But now, they couldn't think of any words of comfort.Do you want to persuade Qin Hui to go back to the real world?But no one can say it.Along the way, without knowing it, Qin Hui has become a member of their group.

"That," the question-and-answer beast finally broke the silence, "Is this really okay?" He pointed at the fleshy apple, "Don't you think it's too burnt?"

The fleshy apples are surprisingly delicious.Kotoe tried her best to focus on the fried chicken-flavored meat apple in her hand.Due to various physical limitations, she seldom eats this type of fast food.On weekdays, she must be very excited about the existence of such food, but today, Kotoe only found it extremely difficult to even chew.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.The clouds in the sky just covered the brilliance of the three moons.At the same time, rustling sounds came from all around. If you want to give an exact description, these sounds are very similar to the sound of a snowflake screen played by a TV that cannot receive programs.

On the tree poles in the forest, different images are actually reflected on the screen of a TV.And the content of the image turned out to be their real world!The airport, Mount Fuji, Tokyo Tower...Among the ever-changing scenery, Kotoe found a picture she was familiar with.

Her family's Chinese restaurant.Master Zhou is still as busy as before.My sister kept calculating today's accounts behind the counter.Qin Hui looked at it and smiled bitterly.My sister is like this. She has always been not very good at mathematics, so many times, the calculations of the accounts are carried out by the two sisters together.

"This is a TV forest that broadcasts images of the human world!" Bogomon's voice was a little far away.

Qin Hui felt a little homesick.She doesn't want to stay here as a burden, she wants to go back to the human world.She misses the lotus root pork ribs soup and steamed fish made by Master Zhou, and even misses her sister's nagging and preaching.She still wants to meet Huiyi, she wants to know if he is staying in the human world well, and then tell him in a joking tone that she met a guy with the same voice as him somewhere...

The clouds gradually left, and the moonlight fell on the land again.The reflected scene in the forest fades away as the moon shines brightly.Qin Hui took a step back in frustration.

She suddenly felt a little tired and wanted to take a good rest.

The author has something to say: this chapter...I feel so sad while writing it myself...
