The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

Or maybe… having a common goal is what really unites them.

"Why is the dark area constantly shaking?"

Putting down the hot coffee in her hand, Anzi Mu Hai muttered to herself.

She also has the authority to monitor the dark area. Although...she has almost never taken the initiative to observe it, the anomalies in the dark area have inadvertently caught her attention in recent times.

As a prison for demons and fallen angels, the seal of the Dark Area is absolutely solid. The possibility of breaking the seal from the inside is very small, but Anzi Mu Hai knows very well that these are only theoretical data. As long as the authority is high enough, these can all be lifted.

She was well aware of this matter and instinctively felt the strange danger, so when she sensed the tremors in the dark area, she immediately went to the digital world to investigate.

But the investigation didn't take long... After the Royal Knights eliminated the dimensional barrier between the two worlds, she immediately set out to return to the human world.

The only gain is that the "Angel of Wisdom" Cherubimon is suspected to have entered the dark area, and no one knows what he is planning.

"Jingle Bell……"

The sudden ringing of the phone brought Anzi Murumi's thoughts back to reality. Her inner uneasiness was left behind as she regained consciousness, and the rich aroma of coffee filled the office.

The name of the caller can be seen on the lit phone screen... Mikihara Noren, it seems he has returned home.

She was not worried that Mikihara Norn was really in danger. For a peer of a god, the things happening outside were not enough to put Norn in danger. Maybe he called her just to satisfy his own bad taste.

"what happened again?"

Putting the phone to her ear, Anzi Mu Hai spoke in a flat tone.

A passionate voice came from the other end. I don’t know what happened, but Mikihara Noren regained his energy again.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you something just now..."

Perhaps she didn't want the topic to end so quickly, so she stretched out the last syllable and continued speaking.

"On the way back, I just remembered that I should have reminded you... There are only two left of the seven demon lords in the dark area."

Mikihara Noren stood in front of the window, smiled and looked up. The sky was shrouded in the dark night. There was a huge vortex above it, splicing the skies of the two worlds together, and a long roar could be heard faintly.

Chapter 147: Indecision

"A higher level of evolution..."

Kanda Osamu stood outside the window, looking at the night sky that seemed to be stitched together, and talked to himself.

When he learned that Suedou Akihiro's plan required the use of the [Invader]'s tampering ability, a trace of resistance deep in his heart caused him to reject the other party's proposal. Now, thinking back on it again, his heart, which had originally calmed down, began to stir again.

"Tuk-tuk-"

Yukinoshita Yukino pushed the door open gently and walked in. She looked at Kanda Osamu with some curiosity. This guy had been standing there since he came back in the afternoon and mentioned that strange sentence more than once.

"What's wrong, Minister?"

"Kanda-kun, what are you mumbling about?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Excuse me……"

After coming to his senses, Kanda Osamu gave an awkward smile and scratched his hair.

"I just suddenly remembered something. Am I disturbing you, Minister?"

"fine."

Yukinoshita shook her head and placed the cup of tea in her hand on the desk beside her.

"Don't run around if your wounds haven't healed yet. Go back and lie down first. I'll come and apply medicine on you later."

With a nod in response, Kanda Osamu turned around, walked to the bed and lay down again.

The rich aroma of black tea filled the room and spread all around. On the desk were several panda Johnnys of different appearances.

With its cute panda appearance and sharp eyes, every time Kanda Osamu sees it, he thinks of the naughty panda in "Pokemon".

Kanda Osamu looked at the mascot of Disneyland carefully, and the frustration after being defeated by Aromamon was half dissipated while observing this doll.

"Can you tell me what you were thinking about just now?"

A wooden chair was placed in front of the bed. Yukinoshita Yukino sat in front of him with a wet hot towel and asked without any concealment.

If Kanda Osamu was not still in a state where he could communicate normally, Yukinoshita would even think that he had suffered a mental shock. But even so, she did not feel surprised, after all, Kanda Osamu had fought two or three times in a row.

The wounds on his body showed no signs of healing and were even getting worse. The Tyrannosaurus Rex had not yet fully recovered his condition when he was thrown into battle again.

"...A method that can quickly improve Omegamon's... combat power."

When talking about this, Kanda Osamu's tone became complicated.

"What method?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino.

Regarding the evolution of Digimon, she had asked Kanda Osamu before, and of course she still remembered his answer at that time. The Chosen One cannot actively control the evolution of Digimon, and the evolution of the partners is often accompanied by the Chosen One's emotions and consciousness fluctuations.

The so-called shortcut does not actually exist.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino just pursed her lips helplessly.

"A... friend told me this. Judging from the impression he gave me in the past, he is definitely trustworthy."

When mentioning Suedou Akimi, Kanda Osamu's eyes became somewhat relieved, fortunately that person was on his side.

"He is the chief researcher of Kamishiro Enterprises. He is also very knowledgeable about Digimon and [Eager], and has helped me solve many problems."

"That... Suedou Akihiro?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino.

She knew this name. After all, the Yukinoshita family had a good relationship with Kishibe Riie. Of course, she had also heard of the highest-ranking researcher in Kamishiro. It could be said that he was an authority in the digital world. As Kishibe Riie's right-hand man, he was responsible for the core technology of the EDEN business.

Kanda Osamu nodded and recalled his first meeting with Suedou Akimi. It seemed that he also met Yukinoshita Yukino at that time.

"He provided me with... a plan that could quickly increase Omegamon's strength."

Taking the initiative to talk about his own concerns, Kanda Osamu's eyes were filled with a hint of melancholy and helplessness.

Yukinoshita Yukino keenly noticed the change in Kanda Osamu's tone. When it came to Digimon, Kanda Osamu's words always revealed a hint of confidence. Although he might not have noticed it, Yukinoshita Yukino knew very well that this should be related to his adventures in the digital world.

After making the two badges shine again and helping Omegamon regain its original power, this guy became brave, as if no difficulties created by Digimon could defeat his determination. However, when Kanda Shu mentioned this just now, there was a rare hint of hesitation in Kanda Shu's tone.

He seemed to be hesitant about whether to accept that power.

"So, what is the plan?" said Yukinoshita Yukino.

The method that could rapidly improve Omegamon's strength was proposed by the God Age's Suedou Akihiro, and just now Kanda Osamu talked about it, who knows Digimon and [Devourers] very well...

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to realize something, her ice-blue eyes widened slightly, and the movements of her hands slowed down.

"That plan... requires the use of the power of the Devourer?"

Kanda Osamu couldn't help but sigh at her sharpness in this regard. After coughing twice, he nodded.

Yukinoshita Yukino stopped what she was doing and froze in place. Although she had no connection with Suedou Akimi, after knowing this, Yukinoshita immediately became more alert and vigilant towards this person.

She didn't have much contact with the strange [Devourer]. The only time she had direct contact with it was during a campus celebration, when she met Akihiro Kurata who had merged the [Devourer - human form].

But even if it was only that time, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a strong sense of discomfort from the [Devourer]. It was a strange creature that absolutely should not exist in this world. Its twisted body hid a feeling of oppression that she had never imagined.

But even the [Devourer - Humanoid Form] is still not all of the [Devourer]. After that, she learned more information about the [Devourer] from her partner, including its strange data erosion ability and infinitely proliferating data...

"The solution he mentioned...may be able to solve our current problems."

At this point, Kanda Osamu couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He certainly knew the horror of the [Devourers], but the human side was clearly at a disadvantage right now, and the Chosen Ones needed even more powerful strength to defeat the group of Royal Knights.

And Suedou Akimi has worked with him so many times. Although he is always extremely excited and is a crazy scientist who is only interested in new technologies and his own research, Kanda Osamu is sometimes very grateful to him. If it weren't for Suedou's help, he might have failed in a battle against the [Invader].

It is also because of this that whenever Kanda Osamu encounters difficulties that cannot be solved, he believes that Suedou Akimi will definitely have a solution.

And this time, he was also willing to trust the other party, even if he needed to borrow the power of the [Devourer]...

Chapter 148 A Sudden Phone Call

"Minister, without new power, we can't stop the Royal Knights."

Kanda Osamu said as he looked out the window at the night sky. The fusion of the two worlds still showed no signs of stopping. The dimensional gate was both a passage connecting the two worlds and a barrier preventing them from colliding. With the opening of the dimensional gate, the habitats of humans and Digimon would inevitably overlap.

"Minister, you have never fought against the Royal Knights in a serious state, so you can't imagine how terrifying they are. These network guardians of the digital world really want to destroy this world. They have pure will and execution."

The entire human world is shrouded in the shadow of the Royal Knights, but now most people believe that the Gizmon Legion of the Secret Province can block the edge of the Knightmon Legion, but all this is based on the situation that the Royal Knights do not take action.

"Although I don't know exactly how many of them are here, Omegamon has sensed the presence of five Royal Knights just this afternoon."

"Five...Royal Knights?"

Unexpectedly, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time from Kanda Osamu's words.

“Perhaps there are other paladins hiding in the dark, but the ones that have appeared now are no longer something we can handle.” Kanda Osamu changed the subject and said casually: “However, fortunately, we still have a way to deal with this crisis.”

That was a plan with an unknown outcome, but Kanda Osamu just smiled and continued.

"I believe that Mr. Suedou did not lie to me, Buchou. He has helped me more than once in previous battles. When I was working with him, I did not feel uneasy or deceived. Even if something unexpected happens in the end, I believe that Omegamon's strength will be improved."

"Aren't you worried about accidents?"

"If I say I'm not worried, that's a lie. How can there be a gift in this world that doesn't require a price?"

Kanda Osamu sighed.

"[Devourers] are [Devourers] after all. They are monsters that should not exist. The same goes for the controlled [Devourers]. Even if they are out of the control of the Matrix, they are not a force we should come into contact with."

"But from the very beginning, Omegamon and I were involved. After all, he had been infected by the [Invader] at some point. Now that I think about it, this plan was really tailor-made for us."

Kanda Osamu suddenly laughed with relief, his voice was very light and there was not much emotion.

Yukinoshita Yukino still caught some sense of helplessness.

She looked at Kanda Osamu with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated. After several seconds, she said:

"Don't force yourself, Kanda... Osamu, we can think of other ways."

"No, this is already the simplest way." Kanda Osamu smiled and shook his head, "There's no need to force it. I was once the savior. Didn't the gods choose me just to deal with this kind of crisis?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was startled, and then a phone rang, coming from Kanda Osamu.

The caller ID showed Thomas.

While hesitating about how to continue the lie, Kanda Osamu seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. He took out his mobile phone and called Thomas.

"Long time no see, Thomas, what can I do for you?"

Then a familiar voice sounded on the other end of the phone, and Thomas returned to his calm self, as always.

"Regarding the survival of the Digital World, this may be the reason why the Royal Knights invaded this world."

Digital World...Survival or Death?

Hearing these words, Kanda Osamu suddenly recalled what he said when he met Aromamon. He once thought that "destroying the world" was just an excuse of the other party, but now it seems that these words are far from as simple as he imagined. Combined with what Thomas said, something must have happened in the digital world.

After realizing the seriousness of the matter, he covered the phone with his hand and said to Yukinoshita Yukino with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry Minister, I have to go now. Thomas has something important to talk to me about, so I won't be back tonight."

Yukinoshita Yukino glared at him unhappily, "This is not your home, Kanda-kun."

With a smile in his eyes, Kanda Osamu stood up, put on his coat, put on the Tyrannosaurus Rex, then nodded at her and disappeared into the dark corridor.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at his back as he left and sighed helplessly. She thought of this savior who had already shouldered so much, and the solemn expression that appeared on her face when she received the call.

Is there anything I can do to help?

She thought, apart from Suedou Akihiro's plan, are there any other solutions?

……

……

Kanda Osamu finally met Thomas, who was dressed neatly, at the DATS headquarters.

"When did you come back?"

Kanda Shuu looked at the Chosen One whom he had not seen for a long time. He had not seen him since that summer vacation. Every time he heard Nishijima Daigo mention him, he did not find any news records about this person.

"Yesterday afternoon, but I didn't reply to DATS," Thomas replied.

"Okay." Kanda Osamu didn't ask any further questions. He didn't have the habit of inquiring about other people's whereabouts, so he changed the subject and led the topic to something else.

"So...should we go outside and talk? Or should we just stay at the headquarters?"

"Go out. I'm still not used to this rebuilt DATS building," Thomas said.

After staying in the digital world for several months, he has adapted to the cold wind of the Arctic glacier. After returning to the human world, Thomas is obviously not used to Chiba's current climate. It has just entered winter, and compared with the climate of the Arctic glacier, it is like spring.
