"Oh~ Are these your companions?"

His sight moved from Daimon Dai to the seated Yukinoshita Yukino, and finally to Mikihara Noren who was standing behind Daimon Dai.

"……what?"

Akihiro Kurata, who was originally smiling, was suddenly stunned. After a brief silence, he narrowed his eyes and revealed a long-lost gloomy expression.

"What? It seems today is really my lucky day."

"Do you want to start a war here?"

Akihiro Kurata's words were too arrogant, and Kanda Osamu was a little angry. He stood up and took the Tyrannosaurus in his hand.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Seeing this, Daimon Dai's movements became more vigorous. He winked at his friend, but Kanda Osamu did not respond to him.

Kanda Osamu felt that he had made a big mistake by letting Kurata Akihiro find this place, and he didn't want to let his friend be involved in these dangerous things.

He cared more about his friend than the impact of exposing his identity, so he no longer cared about those things. But just as he was about to call the paladin's name, Akihiro Kurata took a few steps back as if in fear, and shook his finger.

"Kanda-san, caring too much about some things will become an obstacle for you. As the Chosen One, you should always stay rational."

With a weird smile on his sick face, Akihiro Kurata nodded.

"And soon, you will face a battle where you must stay rational at all times to see hope. I sincerely hope that you remember to be prepared..."

"Then let's stop here for today. You don't have much time left, the Chosen One."

This unpleasant conversation ended here. The mockery in Akihiro Kurata's eyes became even stronger. He turned around nonchalantly and left the classroom with the other members of DATS.

After he left, the atmosphere in the classroom became awkward. The students who had been kicked out returned to their seats one after another. At the same time, probing looks came from all directions.

"Kanda, what exactly happened?" Daimon asked in a low voice.

"You guys go back first, I'll tell you about these things later."

Kanda Shu gave his conclusion without any intention of saying anything. He shook his head and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

"...Damen, let's go first."

Mikihara Noren pulled Daimonada's sleeve and took him out of the classroom regardless of what he wanted to say.

Kanda Osamu slumped in his seat and sighed.

"I'm sorry to drag you into all this trouble, Minister."

Judging from Akihiro Kurata's performance just now, he seemed to have taken note of the people in front of him, and his words hinted at what might happen next.

"That person just now was..."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kanda Osamu. She was of course aware of his identity, and she also understood that she was getting closer and closer to these things.

"The culprit behind yesterday's battle is a big trouble." Kanda Osamu did not turn his head to avoid Yukinoshita's gaze.

Even though he never said it out loud, he knew that with the invasion of Digital Monsters, the connection between the two worlds would become closer and closer, and before that, he had been trying to avoid it.

Chapter 17 There is no way

"After the typhoon during the summer vacation, the door to the two worlds was opened."

During lunch break, I served in the society room.

Kanda Osamu took out his mobile phone, which had a message notification about the red wanted notice for all the DATS members. It seemed that what Kurata Akihiro said was indeed true.

"The main members of DATS have all gone to the Digital World for exchanges, and have not yet returned to this world. Mr. Nishijima is one of them."

The wanted notice clearly stated the names of Rentaro Satsuma and others.

"Then yesterday, that Digimon came to the human world to look for the murderer who destroyed their home, but he managed to stay calm and didn't attack innocent people. In the end, we determined that Akihiro Kurata was the culprit who destroyed the communication between the two worlds."

Kanda Osamu took a bite of the bread in his hand and poured the black tea brewed in the club room into the cup.

"That Kurata actually knows your identity, Kanda-kun?"

Yukinoshita Yukino listened to all of this quietly, and she realized that things related to Digital Monsters were becoming more and more similar to the lives of ordinary people.

"I think I got it from DATS. I helped them before the summer vacation."

Kanda Osamu knew that his identity would be exposed sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

This familiar name...

He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Daigo Nishijima had indeed reminded him to be careful of this man named Akihiro Kurata.

“Kanda-kun, are you worried that he will issue a warrant for your arrest? That would be very troublesome…”

Yukinoshita didn't say anything else, her ice-blue eyes were still shining with a hint of worry.

"I actually don't think he would do such a thing."

Well, Kanda Osamu certainly understood the meaning of what Kurata Akihiro said in the morning. That was exactly how Kurata was going to deal with him.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally turned to look at Yukinoshita Yukino: "Are Tailmon and the others here?"

"Let me guess, what trouble are you going to arrange for us?"

The voice of Black Tailmon was heard, and it opened the window and climbed in from outside with Tailmon.

"Indeed it is."

Kanda Osamu laughed as he spoke, and he looked at Black Dei Lumon.

"In the next period of time, please help protect the minister. I will thank you very much."

"It sounds like something will happen to you after this." Tailmon looked up at Kanda.

"Just in case. I don't think you guys will cooperate?"

"Wait, Kanda-kun."

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment when she heard their conversation, and after understanding what Kanda meant, she interrupted him.

"That Kurata is already the commander of DATS. The original DATS commander is also wanted by him. Isn't he satisfied?"

"This is not a power struggle within DATS, Minister. That guy won't just give up."

Kanda Osamu shook his head. This matter has been full of doubts since the appearance of [Invader]. Kurata Akihiro's goal is definitely not as simple as controlling DATS.

"Anyway, prepare for the worst."

When they met BlossomLordmon, he told them that he was there to capture the murderer who destroyed the Jungle Cavalry. Then they were besieged by a group of artificial Digimon. Judging from the current situation, those artificial Digimon were indeed the masterpieces of DATS.

Kurata must be plotting something. Kanda Osamu secretly made up his mind that he could try to control the murderer before anything happened.

"That guy... has a familiar aura." Black Dilu Beast paused, "A bit like the [Devourer] we met that time."

The [Eater] you met?

When he suddenly heard these words, Kanda Xiu suddenly remembered the news that Black Dilumon had told him before.

A [Devourer] in human form...

Things started to go wrong.

Kanda Osamu judged that this was not a coincidence. These events happening one after another were too abnormal.

"Are you sure?"

"No, this guy just gives me a feeling." Black Dilumon shook his head, and then described the appearance of the [Devourer] as accurately as possible.

"The two guys talk similarly, but I can't guarantee they are the same thing."

After listening to Black Dilumon's description, Kanda Shuu felt even more uneasy. He thought of the information that Suedou Akimi had told him, that [Devourer] has the ability to devour human data.

"If he is really the [Devourer] that Heidilumon said, then he should have a research base somewhere."

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly spoke, her tone calm as she analyzed the matter calmly.

How about secretly investigating the entire Chiba? But that would be too much work.

Kanda Osamu immediately gave up the idea. Not to mention whether he could find the place as he had no idea, even if he did, it would probably be too late.

Let's wait for Mr. Motoda to come in the afternoon and discuss it with him.

Withdrawing his gaze, Kanda Osamu raised the black tea on the table and took a small sip.

Seeing that he looked like he had a headache, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly hugged the two cats in her arms. Her voice was very soft, but it was clearly heard by Kanda.

"Be careful, Kanda-kun."

……

"The [Devourer] in human form?"

When I met Suedou Akimi in the afternoon, he was still dressed the same way. He was not surprised to hear the news told to him by Kanda Osamu. Instead, he had a smiling face and looked happy.

"Oh my, this matter is getting more and more interesting. No wonder I can't detect the data wave of that guy."

Ever since learning that there was a human [Invader] lurking in the city, Akihiro Suedou has been using means of monitoring data waves to try to find that guy's hiding place.

"I didn't expect it to be someone from DATS." He said with a smile.

"Mr. Motodo, do you have any good ideas for finding him?"

Although for some reason, as a researcher at Kamishiro Enterprise, Suedou Akimi always gives Kanda Osamu a sense of trustworthiness, and every time he asks him for help, he responds.

At the same time, when interacting with him, Kanda Osamu would occasionally feel that his mental state was actually not quite normal. Once he encountered something related to the [Invader], Suedou Akimi would become excited and happy.

Maybe this is a common problem among researchers?

But now is not the time to care about these things. What Akihiro Kurata said today was obviously a warning to himself not to get in the way, but at the same time it was also a disguised reminder to Kanda that he was secretly planning something.

As long as Mingshi Suedou and I work hard to find that guy's hiding place, we can nip these dangers in the bud in the bud.

"I don't have any solution."

Unlike his previous practice of acknowledging every request, Motoda Mingshi spread out his hands, looking helpless.

Chapter 18 Escape

There is no way...

Kanda Osamu stood there in a daze. Suedou Akihiro's words broke his preconceived impression. Because he always received considerable help from Suedou, he was not actually nervous when facing the [Invader].

But now what Suedou Akihiro said was very clear, and he had no way of finding Kurata Akihiro's hiding place.

"Literally. The tools I used to detect the [Eater] had no effect on him at all."

Suedou Akimi sat at the table, took a sip of the coffee in the cup, and continued.

"He seems to have eroded some special information, which allows him to hide his tracks, so I don't have any good solution for the time being."

Well, it looks like I'll have to rely on my own carpet search next.

Kanda Shu let out a long sigh and turned to look at Suedou Akemi.

"Mr. Motodo, is there anything else you would like to know about [Evelope-Eve]?"

"...Well, I actually wanted to ask how many artificial Digimon it had corrupted at that time."

"Artificial Digimon?" Kanda Osamu thought for a moment and said, "Probably about ten in number?"

So that's the data volume for ten complete bodies...

Suedou Akihiro nodded and continued to ask in a calm tone.

"Since [Evelope-Eve], your and your partner's normal attacks can no longer cause any significant damage to this unknown creature, right?"

"That's right. In the end, Omegamon and Blossomlordmon took a lot of effort to defeat it."

Kanda Osamu sighed. This was not a good thing for them. The [Devourer] that became so troublesome after only eroding a few perfect forms could be predicted to have other forms in the future.

…But there’s really no good way to stop it right now.

"Don't worry too much, I will investigate it carefully."
