The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

At least from now on, there is nothing wrong with the Royal Knights, and they should have some time left. Instead of running around like a headless fly, they might as well think of ways to improve Omegamon's strength.

Improve your strength, [Devourer], "Zwart" mode...

Suddenly his eyes lit up as he recalled the research that Suedou Akihiro had mentioned to him before, which was to gain power from the [Devourer] to help the Paladin achieve a breakthrough to a higher level.

If I can get help from the end hall, then...

Thinking of this, Kanda Osamu immediately took out his mobile phone and turned to the contacts column.

"du~du~"

A familiar bell rings.

Chapter 104 Traveling Together

Kyoto seems very quiet under the night sky.

In Kanda Osamu's memory, it seems that there has always been a legend of "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" in this city at night. Many hideous monsters will wander on the empty streets after nightfall. To be precise, it is a parade.

Therefore, most citizens, or tourists, will choose to go to tourist attractions such as Kamogawa and Kiyamachi where large crowds gather after dinner.

However, it is precisely because of this that the shrine in the mountains no longer has the lively atmosphere of the day, but instead appears quiet and mysterious. The golden light shines through the thin lamp paper, reflecting the fiery red maple trees all over the mountain.

"Maybe you can actually see a monster there."

Kanda Osamu turned his head and carefully chose his words.

"So...what do you think, do you want to go check it out?"

Yukinoshita shifted her gaze to the side, then looked over with a mocking expression.

"You are quite childish, Kanda-kun."

Low emotional intelligence: You can’t be that childish.

High emotional intelligence: have a childlike heart.

After coughing twice, Kanda Osamu shrugged helplessly:

"It's a rare trip to Kyoto, and I've been delayed by other things these past two days. Don't you really want to go and take a look?"

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him with a half-smile: "Since you said so... I don't seem to have any right to refuse?"

Who dares to force you in this regard!

He also knew that Yukinoshita was joking, but Kanda Osamu, who was thinking of something, didn't care about anything else. He took out his cell phone to check the time, and then began to plan their route of action.

Yukinoshita Yukino blinked, smiled slightly and shook her head.

Kanda Osamu thought back to half an hour ago.

The conversation with Suedou Akimi was naturally smooth and brief, and the topic between the two people revolved around Digimon and [Devourers]. However, no matter how it started, the focus of their conversation was still on the battle with the Demon Lord "Greed".

When he learned that [Invader-Bit] appeared on the battlefield to help him and Omegamon, Kanda Osamu suddenly felt a little confused. He had no memory of this, but he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he turned the topic to "how to improve Omegamon's strength."

And Suedou Akimi didn't say much nonsense. He directly told Kanda Osamu his research results and said that he had designed a very reliable plan.

However...just verbal explanation obviously cannot reassure Kanda Osamu.

So the two of them agreed to have a private discussion after returning to Chiba to determine the next course of action.

"It's already this late..."

Although it was just a brief call, when Kanda Osamu put down his phone, he noticed that the sky was slowly getting dark. He looked out the window and saw a unique and tranquil atmosphere in this historic ancient capital at night.

He inexplicably recalled the afternoon before this. Yuigahama, who was staying in the Service Club, seemed to be pestering Yukinoshita, wanting to move around together on this day of freedom. In the end, it was he who interrupted the topic and helped the minister who was in a difficult situation.

I didn’t expect the graduation trip would end so soon.

There was no deep impression left in his mind, and the Chosen One could only sigh, stand up and prepare to go back to the boys' dormitory to rest.

At the same time, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision, walking towards him slowly.

"……minister?"

He stood there subconsciously, and when he saw clearly who was coming, Kanda Shuu shouted belatedly.

…………

"Kanda-kun?"

As if noticing something strange, Yukinoshita Yukino called his name with a puzzled look on her face.

Kanda came back to his senses from his thoughts and turned to look at her:

"What's wrong, Minister? Are you dissatisfied with the upcoming plan? But even if that's the case, it's too late to regret it. We are almost at our destination."

At this time, it is the maple leaf season in Japan, and many shrines will hold special worship events at night to enjoy the red leaves and sea of ​​clouds under the lights.

"Why would I want to go to the shrine with you?"

The ice-blue eyes blinked, Yukinoshita sighed softly, and showed a helpless smile.

She didn't know why she suddenly brought up this matter. She was used to being alone, but the moment she saw Kanda Osamu, the scene of him asking her if she wanted to visit the shrine together emerged inexplicably in her mind.

But when Yukinoshita came to her senses, she realized that she had already said what was in her mind.

"Maybe it's because I'm the only one willing to come out with you?"

"Ivory is a weird word coming out of your mouth."

Yukinoshita Yukino smiled and turned to look at him, her eyes full of threats:

"For your own sake, you'd better clean up before you say something nonsense next time."

Kanda Osamu nodded in agreement, without any intention of retorting.

Although I was laughed at by the other party, it was already a great achievement that I was not called a "masochist" or a "psychopath".

In comparison, the cat lover whose psychological defenses were touched looked a bit cute when he threatened others, which made people unable to get angry.

He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked as if she was going to “help this guy”, and after a few seconds she said:

"Forget it, I have something else I want to ask you... You and Miki-san have a good relationship, right?"

Miki?

Kanda Osamu was a little confused as to why Yukinoshita suddenly mentioned this name. He thought for a moment and asked, "It's very good. What's wrong?"

Daimon Dai, Mikihara Noren and he are all good friends. Even after knowing Miki's true identity, there is no gap between them. Every time Kanda Osamu sees her, he can't associate the image of the World Tree with her.

How can a god quarrel with a mortal all day long? (annoyed)

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him with an expression that seemed to be about to say something but was hesitant. "Last night, when I was dealing with the pursuers in Celestial City, I discovered that there was something wrong with Miki-san. Maybe she has something to do with Digimon."

Kanda Osamu nodded, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm... full body glow?"

"Is that so?"

Just when Kanda Osamu was hesitating about how to cover up for Mikihara Noren, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a surefire way.

"Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell you that Miki... is actually the god of the Digital World!"

Hearing this explanation, Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned. She blinked, and her ice-blue eyes revealed an expression of "Say it again".

Kanda Osamu laughed unconsciously and shook his head:

"Just kidding, the truth is, that guy is actually a chuunibyou."

Chapter 105 Starry Sky

Secondary disease?

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and looked at him with some suspicion.

"I'm telling the truth, don't you find her clothes weird?"

If it were other clues and evidence, it might be a bit troublesome for Kanda Shu, but for an insignificant anomaly like this, it would not be a problem at all. He could simply choose to use "Chuunibyou" to fool people.

After all, Daimon Dai, who gave himself the title of "Invincible Chief", is also seen as a chuunibyou and a delinquent by others.

And that guy acts arrogantly with Daimon Dai all day long. There's nothing wrong with the "Invincible Chief"'s little follower having a chuunibyou, right?

Kanda Osamu said with his eyes open: "That dress is actually a prop costume. If you don't believe me, you can ask Daimon next time."

"Is that so..." Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't quite understand, she still nodded, "It's better not to trouble Daimon-san."

"That's true."

After Kanda Osamu confirmed that he had not been seen through, he quickly changed the topic to another matter.

After all, it's rare that Minister Yukinoshita hasn't activated her special ability of "telepathy".

At this time, the night was getting darker and there were few pedestrians on the roadside. Although Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine did not prohibit night visits, it was even quieter because it was located on the mountain. Under the not-so-bright lights, Kanda Osamu and Yukinoshita Yukino walked side by side towards the shrine.

…………

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is open to the public at any time, so you can visit at any time.

However, compared to visiting during the bustling daytime, both Kanda Osamu and Yukinoshita Yukino prefer the quiet night.

Under the mountains of red leaves are thousands of torii gates that extend upward for hundreds of meters along the stone steps. These torii gates are made of red wood and are arranged on both sides of the shrine. Under the shining golden lights, they contrast with the red color of the maple leaves, like a red tunnel.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to speak, not because they were really worried about encountering monsters. After the last pentagram incident, even if they encountered such a strange thing again, Kanda Osamu would just think that it was a Digimon causing trouble.

But fortunately, at least no Digimon came to cause trouble today.

…………

After crossing the Torii gate and entering the inner shrine, the first thing that catches your eye is an ancient crimson hall where the deity enshrined is Inari Omikami.

The lights inside the shrine are not very bright, perhaps because it is not considered a major attraction for night worship.

"Will there be a lot of people on the mountain later?"

After a brief pause, Kanda Osamu naturally brought up the topic.

"If there are a lot of people, are you planning to go back the same way, Kanda-kun?"

"That's not the case..." Kanda Osamu thought for a moment and continued, "Maybe we can find a quieter place?"

"I have no objection. If the pressure can be relieved appropriately, it will be good."

"Well, come to think of it, I'm the one who needs to relieve stress, right?" Kanda Osamu laughed, "It seems that I haven't had much rest since I met the Greedy Demon King."

"Really? Then you can take a good rest later, but don't you usually sleep, Kanda-kun?"

"…That's only after school. I'm still very energetic during class, okay?" Kanda replied, "And it's not usually, just occasionally, right?"

"Really? It seems like you left a very bad impression on me."

After a short break, the two stopped chatting and continued their special evening worship activities.

Going up the mountain road, Yukinoshita and Kanda set foot on the famous "Fushimi Sugi Trail". Under the illumination of the lights, they could vaguely see small shrines and stone lanterns scattered around, which seemed to enshrine different fox gods, and they could worship them one by one.

However, neither of them had any intention of stopping, but instead slowly walked up the stone steps.

Although I don’t know what Yukinoshita Yukino is thinking, when Kanda Osamu notices these fox stone statues, he often thinks of his eccentric friend.

Although I don’t know what her current condition is, it would be more practical to go back and buy some melon seeds for Mikihara Noren instead of worshipping these illusory gods.

While Kanda Osamu was still thinking about how to please Mikihara Noren in the future, the flow of people in front of the stone steps gradually increased, and many tourists came here to watch the sea of ​​red leaves and clouds.

However, this makes the journey to the top of the mountain a bit difficult.

Kanda Osamu quietly closed the distance between himself and Yukinoshita Yukino, so that Yukinoshita always stayed in his sight and he checked her position from time to time.

However, to his surprise, the girl's eyes were not on the stone steps in front of her, but were looking at him quietly. When the distance between them shortened, they could vaguely feel each other's gentle breathing.

"I would like to state in advance that this is not the behavior of a pervert."

He thought about it, took out the headphones from his bag, and although he was a little hesitant, he finally handed one of them to Yukinoshita.

"It's just to ease the current atmosphere. Do you want to listen?"
