The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

Volume 13: Welcome to the Nagao World! ([-])

(thirteen)

The last night watchman was Duyla. After saying good night greetings to Kenny, Duyla sat alone in front of the fire outside the tent, letting the snowflakes fall on her continuously.

After an unknown amount of time, a familiar figure appeared within her line of sight.

"You don't need a vigil, Kay."

"...I know, it's just that Yabei and I are always helped by you, so I think it's better to participate in the vigil properly."

Gazing at Duila's ferocious face illuminated by the fire, Kay's expression was somewhat nervous, and he didn't dare to look directly into her eyes.Not only did Duila have a ferocious face, but her eyes were like bloodthirsty beasts, with X-shaped pupils, giving people an ominous feeling.Obviously, the mature form is considered to be a cute type...

"Could it be that... I have caused you trouble?"

Seeing Duila didn't speak, Kay became even more nervous.

"...I brought you some warm coffee. After drinking it, it might warm your body up."

"Thank you, please sit next to me; the temperature of the fire here is just right, don't catch a cold."

After being silent for a while, Duila's expression softened a lot, and she motioned for Kay to sit next to her.

"Good, good."

Not wanting to disappoint Duira's kindness, Kai took a deep breath and sat beside her.Duila has always been a taciturn Digimon, and Kay didn't know what to say, so one person and one beast kept vigil in silence

Although wearing enough warm climbing clothes and sitting in front of a fire with enough temperature, it is not comfortable to sit quietly all the time.

"Ah...!"

Snowflakes kept falling on his body, and the cold air continuously invaded Kai's body from the soles of his feet.Under the erosion of the cold, Kay couldn't help sneezing.

"Is it cold? I still have a spare blanket here, put it on."

Taking out a thick blanket from the travel bag, Duira handed it to Kai.

"Thank you."

After wrapping the blanket tightly around her body, Kay felt much warmer.

"It's actually not the first time you have held a vigil like this, right?"

Perhaps to pass the time and learn more about humans from another world, Duila took the initiative to talk to Kay.

"Well, when I came to the digital world with my friends in the past, I spent most of my time in the wild."

Kay said it without hiding anything.

"Really? Can you tell me about the stories you encountered in the digital world? The night is very long, take your stories as my 'reward' for helping you."

Duira wants to know the story about the visitor from another world.

"In that case..."

Respect is worse than obedience, Kay told her what happened so far.

Before that, on the other side, after finishing the vigil and changing shifts with Duila, when Kenny just returned to the tent dedicated to girls, she saw Yabei squatting on the sleeping bunk with his head in his arms.

"...Well, it's so embarrassing, because I didn't want to get out of the warm bed for a short nap, and ended up completely oversleeping... What to do? Gwent and Susan, and Katie's vigil is over, the last one The night watchman is Duila, but she looks so fierce... I can't deal with the fierce-looking Digimon at all, and I decided to accompany them to watch the night... What should I do? I really don't know. Should I stay at Duila's place to help with the night watch? She might think I'm too in the way. Gwent and Susan are already asleep, and Katie is coming back soon... What should I do? help, but can't do anything for them..."

The tangled Yabei has been muttering to himself in a low voice.

"Hey, we don't help you just to be rewarded, Yabei."

Quietly observing the tangled Yabei, finally, Kenny entered the tent and reminded her helplessly.

"Kay, Kenny...!"

Yabei almost screamed when he saw Kenny entering the tent.She quickly covered her mouth to avoid waking up Gwent and Susan who were resting.How embarrassing, all my soliloquy was heard!

"Also, Duila's evolved appearance is indeed fierce and terrifying, but her inner self has not changed at all. In our eyes, she is still a taciturn, careful and responsible girl who cares about her companions."

Kenny corrected Yabei's prejudice against Duila with a serious expression.

"Duila, except for important periods, she always maintains a mature appearance. Indeed, ordinary people will be a little scared when they see her evolved form, so she is somewhat inferior to her evolved appearance. Rarely Others took the initiative to approach her in full form and treat her like a normal Digimon."

"Yes, I'm sorry, I don't really have a prejudice against Duira."

Yabei was somewhat ashamed to judge others by their appearance.

"I understand that you and Kay are good boys. Although you are not good at expressing, you really want to thank those who have helped you."

With a cheerful smile, Kenny signaled Yabei not to mind too much.

"I'm 16 years old, I'm not a child at all."

For me as a high school student, being treated as a child by a 20-year-old lady is somewhat unacceptable.

"Don't worry about this little thing. I drank too much coffee tonight, and I don't feel sleepy anymore. Can I chat with my sister?"

Kenny, who drank too much coffee, didn't feel too sleepy, she still looked very energetic.

"Anyway, I'm not very sleepy..."

It's not a bad thing to chat with the young lady.

"But what should we talk about?"

"Then let's start with the stories about your encounters, sister, I'm still very curious about your past experiences~"

"Well, it's just that I'm not very good at expressing..."

Let’s start with the experience of everyone coming to the digital world for the first time in order to return the digital eggs...

Outside the tent, Kay was seriously describing the experience he had encountered in the past year, and Duila, who was sitting by the side, was also listening to his story with relish

"It turns out that you still have this kind of experience. I understand Yabei's mood at that time. It is really sad to be an enemy of your relatives, just like our captain. But at least you have always insisted on the right choice. Those who have not renounced salvation and gone astray..."

"There is also the human named Mina, she is indeed a good girl, she can represent others to bear inexplicable responsibilities without authorization, and it is not good to selectively ignore the people who really care about her. The necessary mood is still It should be shared with friends around her, not alone. Fortunately, there are really many people (digimon) around her who love her. Heh, I feel a little bit sympathetic to that holy angel beast."

"The world tree, the royal knights... the gods in the digital world have completely different properties from the 'inverted tree' world, but I don't agree with recreating a new world in the name of destruction. However, although the last 'gods' of our world ' is a complete asshole, but he will not interfere with the development of the world, let alone destroy his own world."

"...So that's the plan of the 'God'? You have been taken advantage of. The last enemy, in the past, was a kind and upright monarch who loved life very much, and finally despaired because of the prejudice of the 'God' , going astray and unable to turn back. But in essence, he just hopes to propose an orderly and beautiful world, he and her sister are really similar..."

"The ending is not really happy. The 'deserved' person died, but Yabei lost his father forever. Indeed, the dilapidated digital world was also reborn under the blessing of the 'god', and The two worlds continue to communicate, and the partners will not be separated. However, this is not a world where Digimon and humans coexist in the true sense. I think it will take a long time for the two races to accept each other and coexist. time."

In the end, after Kay finished all the encounters, Duila expressed a lot of feelings.

"Your experience is very meaningful, thank you for telling me."

She seems to enjoy listening to stories.

"After all, these encounters are really hard and cruel adventures for you. But no matter what kind of encounters, it is not just you who are fighting, but anyone who is willing to help you. They have not conceded defeat, no matter how Painful, but also gritted their teeth and stepped forward for the hopeful possibility."

"Yeah, thanks to everyone's enthusiastic help at that time, we got through the difficulties."

Kaye agrees with Duira.

Before I knew it, the morning light appeared and the sun was slowly rising.

"...it's dawn, and you're about to go to bed. I'll wake everyone up later, so you can take a rest."

Time passed quickly, and Kay barely slept all night.To thank him for his story, Duira decided to wake up his companions later, so that the kind boy could have some leisure time to rest.

"Well, thank you, Doira."

After a sleepless night, Kay is indeed sleepy, so let's get some sleep.

(fourteen)

It seems that everyone is really tired.Except for Gwent, Susan, and the little monster, everyone basically stayed up all night.

"Unconsciously, we talked about our encounter until dawn, heh... so sleepy..."

Yabei, who was yawning and had dark circles under his eyes, was a little weak and followed his companions on the snowy ground.

"Okay, stick to it, Yabei. When it's time for a break, I'll make you an extra cup of refreshing coffee."

Compared with Yabei, Kenny's mental state is still very good.

"I think I've had enough coffee..."

Rather than drinking coffee to refresh himself, Yabei would rather have a good night's sleep in a warm bed.

"Oh, great!! The pocket watch is finally responding!!!"

At this time, a voice full of surprises came, it was Gwent.

"Look, everyone! A guiding light flashed in the pocket watch!!"

Gwent stared at the pocket watch in his hand, and saw a cyan light beam flashing out of the pocket watch.This light beam only points to the other side in the distance.

At the same time, the distant scenery began to change, and the space suddenly became distorted.

"God, temple?!"

The little monster showed an unbelievable expression, staring wide-eyed at the distorted scene in front of him gradually forming a white building.

Huge, seemingly dense white buildings appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow, today must be our lucky day."

Susan was very happy to see that today went so smoothly.

"Okay, don't be too happy, everyone. Even if the temple does appear, we have to climb to the top of the mountain to reach the gate of the temple."

Compared with his agitated companions, Duila calmly reminded everyone.Indeed, the temple appeared smoothly, but it stood on a snow-capped mountain and could only be reached by climbing to the top of the mountain.

"I have a great idea about getting to the top quickly."

As if thinking of something, Yabei looked at Little Monster and Susan.

"You can all fly, right?"

"Huh? Could it be that you...?"

The little monster quickly understood what Yabei was thinking.

"We can let the little monster evolve into an ultimate body, and then let him and Susan take us to the top of the mountain. It is completely fine for the Fallen Hell Beast to take two or three people at once."

"Hey, don't call me around casually."

The little monster doesn't seem to agree with Yabei's proposal.

"The proposal seems good enough to be adopted."

It would be nice to be able to save time, but Duira approves of her approach.

"But for the sake of fairness, let's decide by voting."

"My uncle doesn't agree!"

"What a great way to save time, we accept it!"

Kay and Duila expressed neutrality, Yabei and the other three girls agreed, and only Little Monster opposed it.

The voting result was 3:1, the minority obeyed the majority, and the little monster had to evolve into a fallen hell beast...

Sure enough, Yabei's proposal was very effective.Using the flying ability of Fallen Hell Beast and Susan, the four humans easily reached the top of the mountain; and Duira relied on the innate body of the Digimon to quickly climb to the top and join everyone.

The gate of the temple was tightly closed, and out of politeness, Gwent knocked on the gate a few times.

"Hey, is anyone there?!"

No response.

"How could other people live in such a ghostly place!? If you really want to go in, I will destroy this door now!"

Fallen Hellbeast, who recommended a violent solution to the problem, wanted to destroy the gate directly, but Kay immediately stopped it.

"Don't mess around, Fallen Hell Beast! We are not robbers!"

"Fallen Hell Beast, it's really rude of you to do this."

Then was preached by Susan.

"Fallen Hell Beast, I think it's better for you to keep a low profile. If you really anger the residents of the temple, everyone's efforts will be in vain."

After all, he is his partner, so it's better to let him restrain himself.

[I sense the presence of a tiny distortion, is it a resident who does not belong to this world?I didn't expect that the key that was snatched by that adult would be sent back to the temple...]

At this time, a weak but majestic voice came from inside the door.

"I didn't expect someone to actually live in it..."

Kenny was a little surprised.

[You must also come here to get the secret treasure of my lord. ]

[Come on first, the end of a journey means the beginning of another journey.I am waiting for you in the depths of the temple...]

As if to welcome important guests, the originally closed stone door slowly opened.

"Okay, let's go in and take a look first."

The owner of the voice didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so Yabei entered the temple with ease, and Kai, who was beside him, also followed.
