The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

"...So you're not investigating that Riie Kishibe."

Kanda Osamu finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. If two identical commissions fell into his hands at the same time, he would only think that he might have offended someone recently and that someone needed to be intimidated in this way.

"So, it looks like you know something?"

"Ahem, for the sake of protecting the privacy of our customers, I cannot disclose it for now."

Kanda Osamu coughed twice. He felt that the cooperation with DATS was not very stable. He always felt that nothing good would happen every time he met Satsuma Rentaro.

"Let's get back to the point. So you found some relevant clues and targeted Kamishiro Enterprises."

"Well, we found that there were several Digimon invasions that seemed to be related to Kamishiro Enterprises during the period before the summer vacation."

After experiencing so many Digimon-related incidents, Satsuma Rentaro realized that there seemed to be someone secretly manipulating these events. After his unremitting investigation, he found clues related to Kamishiro Enterprise.

"In addition, because the observation instrument uses the electronic EDEN technology of the Age of Gods, I also conducted corresponding investigations and found that the observation instrument had been implanted with an unknown Trojan program since some time ago."

Although it is still unclear why Kamishiro Enterprise did this, these things undoubtedly increased its suspicion in Satsuma Rentaro's mind. However, DATS is currently in a state of reorganization, and although some operators have returned to the search team, they have all been put into another incident.

There is no way to handle and investigate this matter for the time being.

Therefore, the investigation into Kamishiro Enterprise became more complicated.

“…There are so many doubts.”

Recalling the secret investigation into the Kamishiro Company a long time ago and the inexplicable amnesia of the Kamishiro researcher, the suspicion of this company in Kanda Osamu's mind increased even more.

Now that these two things have collided...

Kanda Osamu gradually sorted out his thoughts and directly extended his hand to Satsuma Rentaro, "Leave this matter to me."

Satsuma Rentaro was stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and reached out to hold Kanda Shu's hand. Although he did not expect the other party to agree to it so readily, after going through so many things, Kanda Shu undoubtedly proved his strength as the chosen one.

Since Kamijiro Enterprises might be related to Digimon, there shouldn't be any problem leaving it to professional Chosen Ones to solve, right?

Chapter 116: Castle of Pride

When Kanda Osamu came out of the DATS headquarters, it was already dark and the cold wind was blowing on his face. Winter was already waiting in line.

Today is undoubtedly the busiest day, with a series of things coming together waiting for him to solve.

"…Well, I have to go to class tomorrow."

He stretched out his body to relieve the pain in his waist.

Fortunately, the addition of new forces to the Chosen has greatly reduced the pressure on Kanda Osamu. Otherwise, if Digimon continued to appear, he would not have time to deal with these things.

Akihiro Suedou's [Eater] project investigates the experiences of Riie Kishibe and the anomalies of the electronic EDEN technology.

Speaking of which, the shadow of Kamishiro Enterprise is indeed behind all of this. In addition to the executive director Riie Kishibe, who he is not very familiar with, Akimi Suedou, who has been providing him with information on the [Invaders], is also a researcher at Kamishiro.

Of course, regarding this matter, Kanda Osamu would rather believe that Suedou Akihiro is really interested in [Invader], but this cannot dispel his vigilance against Kamishiro Enterprise. Now, this company is finally about to show its true colors.

Perhaps after entering the core layer of the Age of Gods, the doubts in my heart will be answered.

…………

Dark Zone, Arrogant Castle.

The demon king with a one-eyed head and flapping scarlet wings landed on the deck and signaled the Nightmare Legion to open the gate.

Deathmon is also a Demon Lord Digimon in the Dark Area, but unlike the other Demon Lords, he always maintains a neutral watchful attitude. His purpose here is very clear, to awaken the "Arrogant" Demon Lord who is still sleeping.

Unlike the Gluttony Castle located at the bottom, the Pride Castle stands in the uppermost core area of ​​the dark zone. The most elite Nightmare Legion in the entire abyss is guarding here, responsible for the security around the Pride Castle and maintaining the rule of the Demon King.

The arrival of the Death Beast did not attract much of their attention. After all, this demon king, who was also a fallen high-level angel, seemed to have an unspeakable relationship with their master, and could be considered half one of them.

"Is Lucemon still not awake?"

Deathmon glanced at the Vampiremon guarding the gate and spoke slowly.

The vampire beast suddenly became nervous and nodded:

"It seems so. So far, there has been no other movement in the area where the master is sleeping."

Pushing open the door in front of the deck, the demon king in white spread the wings behind him and flew straight to the core area of ​​the Arrogant Castle. Almost in an instant, the dark energy shining from the evil eye eroded the entire castle.

At the same time, at the moment when the death energy was released, in the core layer of the Prideful Castle, the consciousness of the owner of this territory was forcibly touched, and his figure gradually took shape at the intersection of light and darkness. Then the Death Beast who arrived at this layer saw the strongest of the seven demon kings - Lucemon.

…………

When it comes to the highest combat power in the digital world, most Digimon will think of Ultimate Digimon. Those with a little more strength may think of the top Ultimate Digimon in various organizations, including the Seven Demon Lords who rule the Dark Area. In the subconscious of Digimon, they are also Ultimate Digimon.

But this is a wrong perception. As the Demon Kings who rule the Dark Area, the other six Demon Kings are indeed Demon King Digimon who have reached the pinnacle of the Ultimate Form, but this is not the case with the "Arrogant" Demon King. Lucemon's status is actually just a Perfect Digimon.

Even so, his power still surpasses that of the other six Demon Lords, making him the strongest among the [Seven Demon Lord Digimon].

In the core area of ​​the Arrogant Castle, the Death Beast, who was also a demon king, saw him again. As shown in his distant memory, the appearance of this "arrogant" demon king was still full of contradictions and conflicts.

Half of its body displays white wings of pure light, emitting a sacred aura, while in sharp contrast is the other half of its body, which has black bat wings filled with strange energy, as if it can devour everything.

A Demon Lord Digimon that possesses both holy and devilish abilities, the pinnacle of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the Demon Lord who controls "Pride" - Lucemon.

Even though he had just woken up from his sleep, Lucemon's whole body still exuded an inviolable majesty. His body was like a perfect sculpture, and his handsome face had a pair of deep and cold eyes, staring at Deathmon silently like a burning flame.

The Death Beast walked forward silently, offered his hands to him, and revealed his evil eyes under his sharp claws. A huge amount of data poured out from it, carrying a water-colored emblem crown.

"The data of Leviamon has been recovered."

As the Death Beast spoke, he restrained his death energy. The fear hidden in his heart and the majestic atmosphere intertwined together, making him dare not look up to feel the suffocating dominance.

"How's the progress with the Cherubim?"

Lucemon reached out and took the crown. Although the sound was not loud, it was clearly transmitted to Deathmon's mind. The magic that seemed to exist on the edge of order and chaos made him tremble slightly.

"The other four demon kings have also been collected, and he is on his way back."

"So, Gluttony is the only one left? That's right... If that guy wants to rule the world, I'll be disappointed."

Feeling the huge amount of data belonging to the Demon King of Jealousy, Lucemon suddenly laughed. He bit the water-colored crown into pieces, and the power of Leviamon was completely absorbed and devoured by him.

"You don't seem to be worried about him."

After a brief period of adaptation, the Death Beast finally returned to normal, and its tone gradually became calmer.

"If he insists on staying in the castle, it might cause some trouble to the plan."

Gluttony - Beelzebumon, an aloof Demon King Digimon. Although his aloof personality makes Deathmon somewhat admire him, his existence is very annoying on the eve of Lucemon's plan.

Lucemon was still absorbing the data, then waved his hand and spoke casually.

"Given his personality, no matter who tries to persuade him, it won't work. Let's put the issue of gluttony aside for now. When the time is right, he will naturally come out of that silent castle."

As Demon Lord Digimon, although they all have cold and ruthless personalities, Beelzebumon, who is in charge of "Gluttony", is extremely strange and outstanding in terms of principles and self-esteem. He always adheres to the principle of never bullying the minority with the majority or attacking the weak.

Even though the demon kings loved ruling and destroying the world the most, he showed no interest.

Therefore, it would be rather troublesome to absorb his crown emblem.

"Then I hope nothing goes wrong. After Cherubimon brings back the power of the other demon kings, can you break open the gate to the dark area?"

Death Beast could not deny it and changed the subject.

"of course can."

"So that means you will be able to leave this prison soon?"

"No, no, no, that would be too boring."

Lucemon continued, "And after I'm gone, who will be responsible for bewitching Beelzebumon?"

Lucemon, who had already devoured all of the data on the Demon Lord Jealousy, lowered his head and looked directly at Deathmon. His eyes revealed a hint of evil and desire from deep within his heart, which should not be underestimated.

"Besides, those haunting hounds haven't left yet, have they?"

When it comes to this topic, the Death Beast also fell silent.

The Royal Knights, who represent "order", are undoubtedly in natural opposition to the Demon Kings. If a Demon King breaks through the Dark Area and returns to the Digital World, the Paladins will surely unite at all costs and fight them.

"...Then what about attacking the human world directly?"

"That matter can only be carried out after I gather the power of all the demon kings."

Lucemon's eyes became strange, and Deathmon couldn't figure out what was in his mind. He lowered his head hesitantly, and then fell into silent thought.

The Digital World will be destroyed soon. This is the information Lucemon told him. Although the invasion of [Devourer] has been firmly blocked by the Royal Knights in the Arctic Glacier, this news could not be hidden from the Demon King's detection.

After sensing this unknown existence invading the digital world, Cherubim, as the backup left by the Lord of Arrogance in the mortal world, immediately explored the situation of the Far North Glacier for him. Faced with the ability of the [Devourer] to almost completely restrain Digimon, it was obvious that the Royal Knights would not be able to hold out for long.

The end of the digital world is approaching.

During an accidental conversation, Deathmon learned about this from Lucemon and decided to help him escape from prison. Although he himself was more inclined to a neutral Overwatch position, when it came to jailbreaking, the "Arrogant" Demon Lord was not an enemy, and the two of them were in the same camp for the time being.

And... he knew that Lucemon definitely had a way to break the seal of the dark area.

Although he thought so much, the silence was actually very short. But when Deathmon came to his senses and raised his head, and saw the strange smile on Lucemon's face, he inexplicably felt that the other party saw through everything.

The devil "Death" gradually became uneasy.

After joining the "Arrogant" Demon King's plan, he also learned the other party's trump card, gathered the power of the Seven Sin Demon Kings together, and awakened the super demon king who only existed in legends and was above all demon kings.

But the whole plan was full of instability for Deathmon. After all, he and Lucemon came together just to break free from the constraints of the Dark Area.

If after that, the two demon kings had a disagreement due to differences of opinion, then Lucemon, who was already a super demon king, would surely not let him go.

The Death Beast wanted to ask directly why they didn't attack the human world. After all, that weak world didn't have the protection of the Royal Knights.

"Want to know why I don't invade the human world now?"

Before Deathmon could ask, Lightmon smiled and expressed the doubts in his mind.

"From the current situation, the destination of that group of royal knights is also the human world. If they enter that world early, aren't they waiting for the crusade of the paladins?"

The unspeakable power made the atmosphere in the room even heavier. Lucemon sat back in his original position, staring directly at Deathmon.

"If the Royal Knights want to invade the human world, they will undoubtedly clash with the group of Chosen Ones. No matter who wins, it will be a good thing for us... I don't know what you think, but attacking the human world right now is not a good plan."

"Then how long are you going to wait? If we continue like this, I'm afraid that [Devourers] will flood into this world before our plan even begins to be implemented."

The Death Beast asked back with inexplicable depression.

"Even if [predators] come in, I have a backup plan."

Lucemon continued.

"It seems that the backup plan I left a long time ago was discovered by a human. That guy has been testing the seal of the dark area recently. Perhaps before long, we will be summoned by him through sacrifice."

"…A test from the human world?"

Faced with this statement, the Death Beast fell silent again.

There was no doubt that it was the right plan if they could sneak into the human world without attracting the attention of the Royal Knights.

But what happens after that, even with his three eyes, he can't see clearly.

Deathmon shifted his gaze to Lucemon's face. The plain smile seemed to be filled with threats and contempt in his mind, as if if he did not agree with this plan, the "arrogant" demon king in front of him would take action directly in the next second.

…damn it.

Deathmon hesitated for a moment, and he finally realized how tricky the matter was, but it was too late to get away now, as Lightmon had obviously made sufficient preparations.

In the end, he could only nod stiffly.

"Since you are so well prepared, I have no questions for now."

"So……"

After getting the answer he wanted to hear, Lucemon's smile widened:

"Let's stop here for today."

Although the plan has been proceeding in an orderly manner, he has indeed been in a dormant state. The energy required to absorb the six demon kings is enormous. If he does not rest well, even the strongest him will be unsure.

This also caused Lucemon, who had just awakened from his sleep, to be somewhat confused. Although there was no problem in the conversation with Deathmon, his fuzzy brain did not allow him to think and calculate more deeply.

"I'm a little tired. We'll talk in detail after the Cherubim arrive here."

Lucemon still had that calm smile on his face, and seemed to be fully prepared for everything that was about to happen.
