The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

Daigo Nishijima wanted to complain a little about the crappy DATS machine, but after hearing what he said, he said nothing.

Immediately, Kanda Osamu told Nishijima in detail about his experiences in the underground with Suedou Akimi.

"Kamiyo Enterprises?"

"Yes, he said he was a researcher at Kamishiro Enterprises."

"Okay, I'll do my best to investigate when I get back."

Nodding in agreement, Nishijima Daigo called on the surrounding DATS to evacuate.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Nishijima raised a finger. "During the last battle with the Venomous Vampire Beast, Commander Hashiba from the Ministry of Confidentiality was very dissatisfied with Satsuma's decision and sent an inspector named Akihiro Kurata to the department. Be careful next time you go to DATS."

Kanda Osamu nodded to show that he understood.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

After the DATS members left, the police from the Criminal Division began to enter the scene and remove the isolation tape.

Oh, how should I start talking next?

Kanda was distressed when he noticed Yukinoshita standing in the crowd not far away. He hadn't figured out how to explain it yet.

As a member of the Service Club and her classmate, Kanda Osamu felt that it would be fine if he didn't explain. However, they both had the experience of facing Digimon before, and now they had to explain the situation to each other anyway.

I hope the minister won't ask some tricky questions.

Kanda took off his goggles and sighed helplessly.

"Minister? Let's find a quiet place to talk."

Fresh and tender steaks were placed on the grill, the sizzling sound of frying was matched with the rich and delicious aroma, the smoke from the charcoal grill was taken away by the range hood in the center, and the lettuce with fresh water droplets was placed on the side. The two people from the service department sat opposite each other in the private room of the barbecue restaurant.

Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes, not yet figuring out how to start her speech.

"Why did the Minister come to Shinjuku today?"

Picking up the tongs and turning over the slices of grilled meat, Kanda focused all his attention on the grilled meat.

"Kanda-kun's way of opening the topic is really direct." When asked this, Yukinoshita took a sip of tea before continuing:

"There's a bookstore here, and my original plan was to come here and buy some classic books."

Kanda Osamu didn't speak for a long time, just silently turning the tender meat on the grill. Just when Yukinoshita Yukino wondered if she had any questions that she hadn't answered, she saw Kanda Osamu raise his head.

After putting the grilled meat into his bowl, Kanda raised his head and looked at Yukinoshita with a serious face.

"So, is there anything you want to know, Minister? I'll do my best to answer it."

Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow playfully.

"Ah, are you finally willing to tell me this time, Kanda-kun?"

"...Last time I was thinking about you, Minister. This time I will explain it in detail." He supported his chin and put the barbecue in the bowl into the condiment tray.

"I want to know, the angels and demons I saw after my sister's dinner party, are they also Digimon?"

Yukinoshita tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yes, you can call them Angewomon and Ladymon."

"Then the next question is, Kanda-kun, are you a member of DATS?"

"Strictly speaking, he is a non-staff member."

He smiled bitterly. Judging from Daigo Nishijima's reminder today, he really had to be careful about the so-called inspector.

"DATS actually recruits high school students like Kanda-kun?"

When Yukinoshita Yukino said this, her expression was as cold as usual, and Kanda couldn't tell whether she was mocking or stating something.

However, seeing the calm look on Yukinoshita's face, he put his original worries aside.

"Yes, that's why DATS is really too much. They even don't let a minor like me go."

Sorry, teacher, it should be okay to make a few slanderous remarks, right?

"Any other questions, Minister?" Kanda asked tentatively.

"Kanda-kun is here to deal with Digimon today, right?" Yukinoshita Yukino raised an eyebrow, "Does that mean all Digimon are harmful?"

"That's not the case..." Kanda answered ambiguously, but fearing that Yukinoshita might have misunderstood something, he added, "Digimon that accidentally enter the human world alone are likely to have problems, but Digimon that fight alongside humans are all good."

"You mean the knight on the news the other day?"

"Yes, there are others similar to him."

"So, is Kanda-kun also such a combat member within DATS?"

Kanda slowly put the barbecue into his mouth.

"No, there are other combat members of DATS. I'm just an ordinary member." He chose to tell a half lie.

However, how could such a clumsy lie be hidden from Yukinoshita Yukino? Yukinoshita glanced at him and picked up the black tea beside her.

"I have no other questions."

She sighed silently. The sudden appearance of digital monsters that posed a great threat to humans made the young students feel a little confused about the future world.

"Okay, Minister, try this barbecue."

Without being asked some difficult questions, Kanda Osamu smiled happily and put the tender grilled meat on the grill tray.

Chapter 16 Periodic Examinations

Yukino Yukinoshita has known about the existence of Digimon for a long time.

After my sister's birthday dinner.

The guests who came to the dinner party said goodbye and left at the end of the party. She promptly asked her parents that she wanted to go out for some fresh air.

Next to the pond in the courtyard, the night enveloped the earth. Xueshita held onto the wall and groped in the dark, tiptoeing to the open space to get some fresh air.

Under the moonlight, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in her mind. She looked up and saw a humanoid creature in black leather clothes flapping its devil wings and hanging in the air. It seemed surprised that someone had discovered it, and a malicious smile appeared on Ladymon's face.

Countless bats emerged from behind her, with scarlet eyes and flapping wings. From their movements, it seemed that these bats wanted to attack Yukinoshita.

……

After the Golden Week, students from Sobu High School returned to school on time.

In May, the temperature in Chiba has risen further, and the sultry environment of over 20 degrees made the students a little restless.

"Hikigaya-kun, has your class announced the time for the [job training]?"

During the afternoon service club activity time, Kanda Osamu was sitting in the room as usual. He looked at the empty seat on his right, and finally moved slightly, sat in Yuigahama's seat and whispered a question to Hikigaya.

[Workplace internship] is a unique activity for second-year students of Sobu Senior High School. Each second-year student will visit a company that they are interested in at a certain time. The purpose is to cultivate students' social experience and thinking ability. In short, it is for the sake of students' future social life.

"…I think they talked about it during the class meeting? They said it would be after the regular exam."

"Hey? What's Xiaoqi talking about the regular exams?"

Yuigahama Yui, who arrived late, skillfully opened the door of the club room and intruded into their conversation.

Yukinoshita glanced at the puzzled Yuigahama, picked up the brewed black tea on the table, and handed it to Yuigahama: "Remember to knock on the door next time you come in, Yuigahama-san."

"Hello, Xiaoxue." Yuigahama waved happily and took the tea. "I'll pay attention next time."

"And then, Xiaoqi, what were you talking about just now, regular exams?"

She turned her head and continued to ask.

"It's the monthly exam in mid-May."

Kanda Osamu, who had quietly returned to his seat at some point, answered.

Hikigaya then added, "Maybe the week after next?"

"Next week?!"

It seems that Ms. Yuigahama has no impression of this at all.

"Didn't we tell you that in the class meeting? You idiot."

Hikigaya felt that he was fooled by her dull look and spoke in a bad mood.

"Hara, so this was mentioned in the class meeting?" Yuigahama suddenly realized.

Yuigahama then realized that she had not reviewed or studied at all, so she turned around and looked at Yukinoshita eagerly: "Xue-yuki probably doesn't know either, right?"

"Cough cough."

As if he heard something funny, Kanda Osamu looked at Yukinoshita who was standing beside him with a smile.

Yukinoshita also smiled, then she sighed, put her hand on her forehead and said, "Yuigahama-san, even if I don't know, it's not a reason for you not to read."

"I would feel more at ease if Xiaoxue didn't review either."

Seeing that Yukinoshita didn't answer her question directly, Yuigahama assumed that she knew nothing about the matter and replied with a smile.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think a small test like a regular exam would be difficult for Yukinoshita."

Looking at Yuigahama who was lost in fantasy, Hikigaya couldn't help but kindly remind her.

After all, for Yukinoshita, who has been at the top of the list throughout the entire school year, the so-called regular exams are as common as eating and drinking.

"Ah... you're such a nagging autistic guy."

Autistic man? I'm reminding you.

After Hikigaya shattered her last bit of fantasy, Yuigahama lay on the table and complained in a self-destructive manner:

"There's no point in studying! Isn't it a pity to waste your youth, which is only once in your life, on studying?"

"Yuigahama-san, your statement is too one-sided."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Kanda had no choice but to step forward and speak up for Hikigaya:

"Studying is not completely meaningless. It requires you to give it meaning. As for wasting youth, if you play meaninglessly all day, isn't that also a waste of youth?"

"But I just can't read on." Holding her head as if she had a headache, Yuigahama expressed her thoughts, "It won't be a good thing for someone without talent to do this! Don't you agree, autistic man?"

"I'm sorry, but you and I are not the same kind of people." Hikigaya raised his eyebrows after being attacked by the name of "autistic man" again, and decided to teach the woman in front of him a lesson. "I am the third in Chinese in the whole grade, and my other liberal arts are not bad either."

"How...how could this be?" Yuigahama widened her eyes and turned to look at Hikigaya.

"Could it be that you are actually one of the smart ones?"

"I'm not that smart."

Yukinoshita answered the question for Hikigaya.

Well, at least in the eyes of Yukishita, who is number one in the whole year, no one else can be considered that great.

"What about Kanda? Doesn't everyone say that Kanda is a super high school level delinquent?"

Hikigaya clearly saw that Kanda Osamu, who was sitting next to him, had a surprised look on his face.

"Although I don't know who spread this bad name, but who said that bad people must have poor grades?"

"According to the ranking, I am only stepped on by this great demon king Yukinoshita."

"Ah, so this is how Kanda-kun calls me in his heart?"

Yukinoshita, who was drinking tea nearby, turned around with a forced smile and said, "It seems that for the sleepy idiot, it is really hard to miss the first place in every exam."

"Wow, everyone is so awesome."

Yuigahama found it hard to accept this kind of atmosphere that made her feel like an idiot.

"Don't worry, Yuigahama, there's nothing you can't do as long as you work hard."

"But……"

Seeing that simple comfort didn't work, Kanda had to bring out another contestant.
