According to the custom of the gate, there would be only one reason for going out in such extremely bad weather.

"I say, you're not going to fight with anyone, are you?"

His right hand holding the phone trembled, and Damen quickly calmed himself down and tried to refute.

"Huh? How...how is this possible!?"

It seems to be true.

"How long will it take tomorrow?" Kanda Osamu thought for a moment, "I should be free in the afternoon."

Seeing that Kanda agreed to this, Daimon breathed a sigh of relief and casually said on his phone, "Then see you at Nakano Broadway at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait, there's one more thing!"

Kanda Xiu slapped his head and suddenly remembered the most important thing. He asked:

"Is Miki here too?"

"Of course she is here too. We can go visit your workplace together later."

Daimon answered as a matter of course.

Kanda Osamu remained silent. It seemed that he had agreed too hastily. He had never expected that Daimon would bring Mikihara Noren with him when he went out for a fight.

"Okay, I'm hanging up now."

After a while of noise, Damen hung up the phone. He was not completely idle during the summer vacation. He had to tutor his sister in school most of the time.

Kanda Shu felt a little sad. It seemed that everyone was busy with their own things, but he, who was usually busy all the time, was now completely free.

……

Daigo Nishijima wants to discuss something with Rentaro Satsuma.

But when he was inside DATS, the inspector Akihiro Kurata was keeping a close eye on him, and he couldn't find a chance to communicate with Satsuma.

Fortunately, Akihiro Kurata was not just staring at Satsuma Rentaro. When Toma and Fujieda appeared, his attention was successfully drawn away by the two of them.

Taking this opportunity, Daigo Nishijima came to Satsuma's side.

"Want to go get lunch, Nishijima?"

Noticing Nishijima Daigo's unnatural expression, Satsuma Rentaro shook his head and spoke first, then turned and left the command room without waiting for Nishijima's reply.

Samo was unexpectedly observant. After thinking about it, Nishijima decided to catch up with him.

The two of them left the command room one after another without attracting much attention. Sam walked in front, looking like he was really in a hurry to eat, while Nishijima followed behind him at a steady pace. They walked through the passage leading to the DATS cafeteria and sat down at an empty table.

Nishijima opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Satsuma Rentaro.

"Nishijima, are you going to talk about Kurata?"

Nishijima Daigo looked at him with some surprise, his eyes serious.

"I know you are worried about what Kurata is planning behind the scenes." Satsuma Rentaro paused and said slowly.

"But he was sent by the higher-ups. We have no reason to deal with him."

"Then should we just ignore it?"

Nishijima Daigo leaned back in his chair in the dining room, shocked by what Satsuma had said.

"At least we can't do that before he actually interferes with DATS's operations." Satsuma Rentaro nodded with a serious look on his face.

DATS did have a high degree of freedom when it was first established, and after confirming the operation, they had a higher priority than other regular departments. But since the supervisor Akihiro Kurata was sent down from above, DATS has been subject to certain restrictions on what it does.

Although Akihiro Kurata generally does not interfere with the normal operations of DATS, he is fully capable of reporting the mistakes made by DATS to the Ministry of Confidentiality, but he never does such a thing. Correspondingly, Rentaro Satsuma is willing to turn a blind eye to the things he does privately.

But Samo was not completely blind. He put aside his doubts only after thorough investigation.

Akihiro Kurata did have his own ambitions. The staff who went to investigate found that a large number of artificial machines were secretly developed in his private laboratory.

The functions of these man-made machines are unknown and they are all confined in culture tanks. It is impossible to identify whether these man-made machines are aggressive. In other words, this is not a handle for Akihiro Kurata, a transferred official from the Ministry of Secrets.

Satsuma Rentaro finally determined that it was a special mission assigned to Kurata Akihiro by his superiors.

These man-made machines may be used in future wars against Digimon.

As a human being, Satsuma Rentaro did not object to such behavior, so he was unwilling to conflict with Kurata Akihiro over this matter.

"Then we'll never have a chance against him."

Nishijima Daigo said with certainty.

"No, we don't have to deal with him at all."

After saying this, Satsuma Rentaro stood up from his seat and turned to leave.

Chapter 40: Uneasy

Kanda Osamu got up very early the next day.

The street outside the window today is unusually quieter than usual. Perhaps because of the approaching typhoon, the usually active summer cicadas have shut up, and the breeze is blowing the curtains in the room and dancing gently.

He did not choose to turn on the TV to listen to the news. The temperature outside was dropping. Kanda Shu, who had nothing to do, made a cup of hot coffee, which he usually hated, to warm himself up.

He didn't like the weather before a storm, at least not recently.

The air was still filled with moisture, mixed with the salty smell of the seaside. This complex smell reminded Kanda Osamu of the strange nightmare he had the night before.

The endless unmanned bridge, the deep and dark ocean, the flames burning on the sea surface, and the inverted pentagram hanging in the sky, the scenes in the dream emerged in his mind one by one. Kanda Osamu's breathing began to become rapid. The strange scene made him feel like he was trapped on an uninhabited island.

"Ash?"

His partner's call brought Kanda Osamu back to his senses from his trance. The mellow aroma of the coffee drove away the salty smell of the sea water. Kanda Osamu picked up the hot coffee and drank it in one gulp.

"It's okay, Omegamon."

He shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine.

Although the typhoon will not actually make landfall until the evening, the gloomy and dark sky has already been marked by it.

Such strange weather made Kanda Osamu feel inexplicably depressed, although as far as he knew, this was just a normal phenomenon before a typhoon arrived.

I wonder what the minister is doing now...

For some unknown reason, Kanda Osamu suddenly wanted to call Yukinoshita Yukino to hear her voice.

……

Yukinoshita Yukino was feeding Black Deimon breakfast when she received a call from Kanda Osamu.

Tailmon got up early. It never had the habit of sleeping in. As for Black Tailmon, it wasn't that it wanted to sleep in. It just felt that this big human bed was too comfortable, so it just lay there and didn't want to move at all.

When it opened its eyes again, Yukinoshita Yukino was already holding the bowl of rice in front of it with a serious look.

With so many thoughts in his mind for a moment, Black Dilumon finally decided to lie in the girl's arms and enjoy his breakfast.

"Kanda-kun?"

A slightly doubtful question came from the phone as Yukinoshita Yukino was doing her own feeding work.

"It's so early, what's the matter?"

A familiar and cold voice came into my ears through the phone, and Kanda Osamu spoke.

"Minister, have you had breakfast?"

"Ah, Kanda-kun called me so early just to ask this?"

Kanda Shu subconsciously wanted to refute, but then he thought about the fact and smiled bitterly:

"Minister, please stop making fun of me."

"I actually wanted to ask how those two guys are doing at your place."

After finding a reasonable excuse, Kanda Osamu asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, Black Dilu Beast, who was originally enjoying a delicious breakfast, froze in his expression.

Why did the guy opposite change the topic to them?

"Of course Tailmon is very obedient. He got up early today..."

Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously praised the docile white cat, but when it was the black cat's turn, she deliberately paused.

No.

Due to the agreement reached with Kanda Osamu, Black Dilumon was worried that if Kanda found out that he was doing nothing here, he might change his mind and want to teach him a lesson, he would really have no way to deal with him.

When it thought of this, it no longer cared about its face and shook its head vigorously at Yukinoshita Yukino above its head.

"Where's the Black Deelumon?"

Seeing the originally aloof black cat showing such a cute attitude, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but sigh that Kanda Osamu was indeed a more special existence to them.

Yukinoshita glanced at the black cat with a half-smile: "Black Dilumon is of course very obedient, and it even eats breakfast on time."

Good, I escaped.

The cute black beast breathed a sigh of relief, but soon after it came to its senses, it took a vicious bite of the dried fish in the bowl.

Revenge must be taken. You, the chosen one, just wait for me.

The black cat had a gloomy face, and its furrowed brows showed that it was in a bad mood.

"That's good. Then I'll trouble you to take care of them for a while, Minister."

After receiving a response from Yukinoshita Yukino, Kanda Osamu nodded secretly and took the opportunity to hang up the phone.

"I feel much better..." Kanda Osamu smiled and shrugged after finishing the phone call.

He felt that the salty and humid smell in the air was not so serious anymore.

Seeing that it was still early, Kanda Osamu decided to pack up and go out, directly to the Mukai Office to wait for Daimon and the others.

Perhaps due to the approaching typhoon, the usually bustling Nakano Broadway had few people today.

It was effortless to enter the shopping mall, and Kanda Osamu was very familiar with the most convenient way to get to the office.

After knocking on the door of the office and receiving the reply “Come in”, Kanda Osamu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Why did you come to the office today?"

Anko Murumi was not surprised at all when Kanda Osamu pushed the door open. She crossed her legs and lay lazily on the office chair.

"I made an appointment with my friends to go shopping in Nakano this afternoon, and I thought I would wait for them at the office."

"That's perfect." Mu Hai Anzi nodded and immediately picked up the coffee on the table. "Come and try my new creation, the special seafood coffee."

"Hai, seafood coffee?"

"Yes, there was a typhoon recently, so I specially prepared this cup of coffee."

As she spoke, Anzi Mu Hai got up from her seat and walked towards him with the cup of seafood coffee. Of course, the new delicacy had to be shared with friends.

"Can I not drink?"

Kanda Osamu shook his head in embarrassment.

"No, you have to give your impressions after tasting it."

Everyone must face death one day, it can be today, tomorrow, or even every day after that. No one can escape the arrival of this day, but if there is a choice, Kanda Osamu will definitely not choose today, at least to avoid tasting today's special coffee.

"Well...I'm probably really going to die."

Slumped on the sofa, Kanda Osamu drank the entire cup of coffee without leaving a single sip, and felt dizzy and weak in his limbs.

His exaggerated look made Anzi Mu Hai cover her mouth and chuckle. She would be the first to taste the coffee every time. This time, the seafood coffee was a delicious drink that had to be shared.

"You don't have anything to do during the summer vacation, right?"

Anzi Mu Hai thought about it and continued.

"We have accumulated a lot of documents recently. When the typhoon is over, you can come back and continue to handle the commissions."
