Taichi: My Digimon is V-dramon

Chapter 18 18. Because it’s my mom, it’s scary

As soon as he approached, Taiyi discovered that there was a black gear as tall as a person stuck on the floor of the ruins hall.

"Well, no need to guess, Centaur must have been conquered as well." Taiyi shrugged, having long been accustomed to this.

On the walls of the hall, there are patterns similar to those in the batteries in the mechanical factory. I remember Andromon said that these are some computer programs.

"I don't understand anything at all." Taichi stroked the wall, feeling completely bewildered.

He did know someone who always liked to fiddle with some inexplicable data. If it were him, he might be able to understand the meaning of these programs.

Taiyi suddenly thought of something and sat cross-legged on the ground. He took out his notebook and drew the program on the wall.

"Taiyi, what are you doing?"

Zeromaru asked in confusion.

"I've written down these procedures. Even though I don't understand them myself, Neo will definitely like this gift when we return to human society."

Taichi said excitedly.

The Neo he was talking about was called Iroha Neo, the perennial champion of the Digimon Competition (D-1) and the strongest tamer who had never been defeated.

After one match, Taichi actually had a private contest with Neo, and the final result was a draw.

Unfortunately, it was an unofficial fight, and Taichi and Zeromaru hadn't become such close partners at the time. If he were to return to the human world, Taichi would have been confident enough to say, "I will win!"

Just then, Reimaru asked, "Who is Neo?"

Taiyi murmured, "Just ordinary people who were born in an era without us."

----------

Zeromaru's expression was a little depressed, and ever since he had been with Taichi, his tail, which was always held high, dropped to the ground.

"Taiyi, you want to go back to the human world?"

Taiyi was staring at the slate intently at this moment, his fingers manipulating the pen precisely to copy the program.

"Well, after all, I've been out for so long, Mom must be mad."

Thinking of the misery he might face upon returning home, Taichi, who had fought through all sorts of fierce battles up to that point, having only managed to escape once, against Snotmon, turned pale with fear. "Who knows, the day I return might be the day I die."

Zeromaru had never seen Taichi like this before: "Could it be that Taichi's mother is very strong?"

Taiyi shook his head at first, then suddenly nodded.

Zeromaru felt unsure of what was going on, and Taichi was amused by his own actions:
"I'm afraid of my mom, not because she's strong or not, but because she's my mom."

"I don't understand."

Taiyi stretched out his body, which had become stiff from sitting on the ground, and then said, "Well, it's really hard to explain it to you, but once you meet her, you'll probably understand the feeling."

"When we get home, we have to clean up the storage room and move a bed out...my bed won't fit you."

“…” Reimaru raised his head blankly, looked at Taichi’s back, and didn’t speak for a long time.

Then, Remaru became extremely excited, with a bright light shining in his eyes.

Taiyi asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mmmmm!" Reimaru shook his head quickly with an extremely bright smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I feel good now!"

As he spoke, as if to prove his condition, he deliberately flexed his muscles and struck a bodybuilding pose.

Suddenly, a flash of light seemed to pass through Zeromaru's body. Unfortunately, Taichi had already turned back, and Zeromaru himself didn't notice. Soon, Taichi copied the program, and after double-checking that there were no errors, he led Zeromaru deeper into the ruins.

After walking through the front hall, Taiyi discovered that the interior of the ruins was a huge maze. Not far away, he could see a branch route, and these routes looked exactly the same.

"What should we do? Should we go through each road one by one?" Lingmaru was very worried. He felt that he would definitely get lost if he went in.

"We don't have so much time to waste." Taiyi shook his head. Since just now, he has been hearing the sound of black gears flying towards Infinite Mountain, and even the floor of the ruins was shaking slightly.

This is the sound produced by the black gears buried throughout the island being assembled by Devilmon.

It goes without saying that the purpose of him collecting so many black gears is to prepare for the final battle with himself.

"A Ling, go all out!" Taiyi pointed at the wall in front of him and said, "Since we can't find the Centaur, let's make some noise and let the Centaur come to us!"

"You shrimp!" Lingmaru shouted with full energy, step by step closer to the wall, turning his arm and punching hard.

"Boom——!"

In an instant, the entire ruins shook violently, and years of accumulated dust were shaken out from the cracks between the walls and stone pillars. Some old bricks were even dislocated.

"dong dong dong"

The sound of horse hooves came from deep within the ruins.

After a while, a helmeted centaur galloped out from the depths of the ruins.

As soon as he saw Taichi and Remaru, the tube behind him sprayed out gas at ultra-high pressure, and his entire body was pushed forward at a speed close to the speed of sound under the action of the propulsion force.

Taichi immediately saw the black gear stuck in Centaur's waist.

"Get out of the way." Taichi issued an order at the same level as a Pokémon Master.

When Centaurmon rushed in front of them, Taichi and Remaru jumped to the sides.

It seemed that Centaurmon had not expected that the opponent could even dodge the speed of sound, and he fell into confusion for a moment. The red single eye in the helmet moved back and forth between Taichi and Zeromaru.

"It's now!"

Zeromaru immediately understood Taichi's intention and seized the opportunity to launch an instant attack: "V-Wind Arrow!"

The highly dense airflow turned into a blue vacuum arrow, piercing through the black gears on the Centaur's body in one go.

----------

After a while, Centaur came to his senses from the confusion.

"How embarrassing! I'm the guardian of the sacred plan, yet I've been corrupted by darkness." Centaurmon bowed to Taichi: "Thank you for saving me, the chosen child."

"Don't worry about this kind of thing." Taichi shook his head and then asked, "Centaur, can you confirm that I am really the chosen child?"

Obviously not expecting the other party to ask him such a question, Centaurmon was stunned for two seconds, and Taichi also asked his doubts.

Including the fact that he had no divine plan, and the Holy Angel City he heard about when he traveled through time.

Centaur blinked, realizing that things might be getting serious.

He took Taichi and Reimaru to the deepest part of the ruins.

At the deepest part, there is a platform with a cross-shaped machine pattern engraved on it.
