[Digimon 06] Purple

The hollow ground couldn't bear the weight of the Volcanic Dragon Beast at all. After falling into the trap, the Volcanic Dragon Beast's bulky body fell to one side uncontrollably, exposing the energy core hidden in its abdomen to the outside world.It was at the moment when its weakness was revealed that Jik Tyrannosaurus resolutely seized the opportunity, and disrupted the orderly flow of energy with a move of "three-pronged fangs".The explosion from the inside of the Volcanodramon was earth-shattering, dyeing the whole world hot red like magma in a daze.The Volcanic Dragon Beast fell to the ground with a wail, and a familiar light blue halo of data emerged from its side, making Qieyu the final winner of this hunter competition.

Unexpectedly, after successfully hunting the Digimon, Kiriha walked up to Zi. "Okay, now it's in your pocket." He repeated the declaration Zi made to him before the hunt began, and from the light blue cube projected by his XrosLoader, the calm Volcanic Dragon The beast looked at her gently across the data barrier.

"No, no need." But Zi Hou took a step back, and even bowed slightly to Qie Yu.She suppressed the arrogance that was accidentally leaked before, and gradually gathered it up behind the indifferent mask, "I just acted according to your instructions, Senior Cangnuma, so Senior Cangnuma is the winner of this hunting." By."

The restraint and alienation she showed again made Qieyu frowned slightly unhappily, but at this moment Daqi stepped forward and just rightly resolved the slightly stiff atmosphere, "It actually used the power of the volcano dragon beast to make Its self-explosion is worthy of Qie Yu. You deserve it, so just accept it."

Seeing that Da Qi said so, Qie Yu stopped insisting.He put away the machine, and glanced aside as if casually.

Almost at the same moment, the grandfather of the watch shop and the clock beast who was inseparable from him turned around from behind the tree trunk where Qieyu's gaze was pointing, "It seems that the event is over." Glancing at the few remaining people present at the back—from the corner of the eye, I saw Lian and the others leave uninterestedly, and the smile on the old man's lips deepened, "I just didn't expect that the one who won in the end would be an unexpected person. But thanks to your blessings, this mission has been successfully completed, and the abnormalities that happened on the island will gradually disappear, which is really gratifying."

"Grandpa, don't you want to use us to clean up the Digimon that are raging on this island?!" Akashi was a little aggrieved when he opened his mouth.Today's hunting traps were mainly set up by Qie Yu and Zi, so it is understandable that the Volcanic Dragon Beast belongs to either of them.However, Akashi's exciting hunting trip ended before it even started, and he was inevitably a little depressed about it, and his unhappiness was vented at this moment.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Sigh... the ears will become bad when people get old..." As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and used his little finger to pick out the ear, and turned around muttering like this Walking back, the hunchbacked figure quickly disappeared at the end of the woods.It was still the clock beast that waved at them, and then chased after the direction the old man left.

From the beginning, Feihe stood aside like an outsider. She couldn't listen to the nagging of the watch shop's grandfather, so she just stood aside and let her thoughts go wild.It seems that what Amano-kun said to her is true, and seeing that Senior Cangnuma's attitude towards Zi doesn't look like a stranger he just met today, and it's related to Digimon, then they must have existed in the digital world. got in touch.

Was it because the memories of the digital world caused her pain that she deliberately changed back to that indifferent look? "No," Feihe shook his head, denying his own idea, "Even if Amano-kun said so, Ah Zi would not... But," she remembered the menacing metal phantom beast that came a few days ago, "It is true that Ah Zi There are far more things to face than I imagined, and I can't help her with this..." Including today's hunting operation.When rescuing Ji and Yingqiu, Fei He had a face-to-face confrontation with that behemoth in just a few tens of seconds, and naturally saw the horror of the lava spouting from its mouth.In comparison, Zi and Hualamon rushed to Volcanodramon alone, "Really, what should I do if I get injured..."

"what are you saying?"

The familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar cold tone brought her back to reality, Fei He was shocked, and only when she came back to her senses did she realize that Zi had stood in front of her at some point.

"No, no! It's nothing!" Fei He lowered his head to avoid Zi's eyes, and stammered.Because of Zi's intentional avoidance, an invisible gap seemed to have formed between the two of them during this time, and wanting to talk and laugh easily as before seemed to have become an extremely extravagant act.

Feihe's expression made Ziwei sigh inaudibly, "Well," she hesitated for a while, and finally gathered up enough courage to ask, "Youdou... isn't with you?"

Fei He's depressed mood only lasted for a short while. "Eh?" She lowered her eyes and saw Zi Hang quietly holding the hand of the skirt by her side, which made Feihe suddenly relieved, "Sorry!" She quickly turned her eyes to Amano Yu who was beside him—— As expected, his attention was on this side, "I've been with Amano-kun... I was planning to come to you just now."

The name didn't cause Zi to make too much noise, "I see."

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she didn't want her hand to be grabbed by Fei He suddenly, "Ah Zi, I will accompany you to find You Dou Jun." As if nothing had happened, Fei He smiled playfully at Zi, "You have to know that the three of us came together, and I can't go back if I can't find Youdou-kun, right?"

Zi looked down at Feihe's grasped hand, only she knew that the strength used by the other party was far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface.She remembered that day when Feihe stood beside the shoe cabinet and questioned sadly, but now she was damned unable to face that self who clearly chose to escape from reality and made promises to Feihe.

"Sorry." Zi murmured in a low voice, "I..."

"Also, I've already thought about it." As if guessing what she wanted to say, Fei He interrupted her forcefully, "I didn't respond to Ah Zi at that time, but in fact I did the same .No matter what Azi's identity is... or whether she remembered or forgot something, for me, Azi will always be my best friend. This will never change!" She took a deep breath Nose, then half turned around and rubbed his eyes with his wrist, "Oops, if I continue..."

"Xiaohe..." Zi stared at her blankly, "It won't change..." She murmured what Feihe and her former self had said, and unknowingly, the corners of her mouth curled up .

"Eh?!" Turning around, Fei He suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the depths of the forest, "Ah Zi!" She shook the hand that was holding Ah Zi, motioning her to look at the place she was pointing at. Fang Xiang, "Look, look! Is that You Doujun?"

Uto's sudden appearance made Zi rush forward immediately.The boy stepped forward on the grass with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his expression looked a little dazed. "Sister...?" Uto raised his head in confusion, squinting his eyes to confirm the figure that was approaching him constantly.

Zi Sanbu ran in front of Youdou in two steps, "Where did you go?" As the elder sister's responsibility, she couldn't help asking Youdou's whereabouts despite worrying, "Even if the Iron Hook Beast is following you, It will still make people worry, you know!" At that moment, she had already put aside her concerns about blood relationship, and frankly expressed her uneasiness in her heart.

"I'm so wordy, old lady..." Youdou supported his head, "I saw a boat with the iron hook beast on the other side of the river across the forest... there seems to be other hunters on board..." He shook his head Shaking his head, "Strange, why can't I remember?"

Invited by Daqi, the Ruoye family siblings boarded the Locomotive Beast with Feihe, and returned with several boys from XorsHeart—in fact, the real reason was that Yudou, who was tired and sleepy, could not summon the Iron Hook Beast at all. Pirate Ship.

After settling down on Uto, Zi got up and left his seat, and walked towards Daqi who was sitting alone at the end of the carriage.

"Isn't Senior Kudo going to tell Akashi-kun and the others what he learned from Mr. Clock?" After sitting down on the seat opposite to Daiki, Zi asked straightforwardly, "And Yuto, what my brother just mentioned The hunter who didn't show up before... I am very concerned about this. Although I don't know why the old man of the clock wants to hide this from us."

The digital crystal world that has spread to various places, as well as the information revealed by Aonuma Kiriha before saying goodbye to them. Putting these doubts together, one can think that the activity of "Digimon Hunting" organized by the Clockwork Old Man is far from what it seems on the surface. It's so simple, but I don't know the old man's real purpose at all.However, there are very few Digimon hunters who have discovered this.They just think of hunting as a fun game.Furthermore——

Zi unconsciously caressed her heart.She hasn't confessed to Dae-ki about the badge yet.

However, Old Man Clock admitted frankly that it was the badge "stored" in her body, like an untimely bomb.No one knows whether the powerful Digimon that claims to come to snatch the badge like Metal Phantom Beast will be the last one.

After listening to her question, Daqi calmly opened his mouth and shared his analysis one by one, "The only thing that can be confirmed now is that although we don't know the reason, it seems that the grandfather of the watch shop doesn't want us to explore it. The truth. It is true that his actions are very secretive, but so far he has not done anything harmful to the world, and he has always stood by the hunter's side, so let's trust him. I believe he has his own reasons for doing this." , Daqi shook his head helplessly, "I hope I'm not worrying unnecessarily, so I don't plan to tell Ji everything yet. But Yuu..." Daqi turned his head.Through the glass on the door, one can see a blond boy standing alone at the rear of the car.He leaned on the railing built at the rear of the car, ecstatically looking at the orange-red sunset in the distance that was about to be buried in the clouds.

"It's Wakaba," Daiki asked abruptly, "At that time, the person who left HoneyLand with Sirenmon, and then joined Baguramon's army to start that war game with Yu in the hell space was Wakaba." Bar?"

Hearing this, Zi turned her gaze from Yu back to Daqi.The other party looked at her calmly.Apparently, Daqi has already determined a definite answer in her heart, and her answer, "yes" or "no", is irrelevant.

It wasn't Kiriha who leaked it.At that time, Qieyu agreed to her request and would conceal her identity from Daqi. She believed that with such a proud character as Canuma Kiriwa, she would not violate the promised agreement.So--

Zi suddenly felt an urge to sigh.Given that Senior Daqi has keen observation skills and a clever brain, even if she guessed her identity, she wouldn't be surprised at all.

"Senior Kudo, have you noticed?" Zi lowered his eyes, admitting Daqi's deduction in disguise.

"I just confirmed it today." Daqi said frankly, "I know Kiriyu, he is not a person who will have such a level of trust in the first meeting. Thinking about Yuu's performance, it is not surprising I think he told me that you were caught in the time-space rift and returned to the human world. I am afraid it was a lie, otherwise he would not need to deliberately hide from me about you Luoye." He said lightly. The truth that was hidden for a while, "I just didn't know what happened to you at that time, so Yuu was so scared that he couldn't generate the courage to confess to me and Yinyin."

The pain I experienced a year ago still remains deeply in my mind, and the wound on my heart has not yet fully healed.However, once she remembered the look of You Yin engraved in her eyes before the memory ended, another inexplicable emotion would wrap her quietly. "One day I will tell Senior Kudo," Zi stared at the backs of his hands on his knees, and said softly, "Together with him."
