Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"I inexplicably feel so sorry for Luo Zhen..."

"If possible, I hope you won't look at me like that, like you would a stray animal."

For Luo Zhen, it was just a casual remark, but Asukai Kiki, who was standing nearby, was listening attentively the whole time.

This is probably what it means when someone says something unintentionally but the listener takes it to heart.

Back to the present, just as Luo Zhen was about to reply to Asukai Kiki's invitation, an unexpected event occurred.

Chapter 518 The Phantom Covering All of Japan

"How's Agumon?"

In an abandoned building in Tokyo, Taiichi Yagami looked at Agumon beside him and asked a question.

At this moment, Agumon's eyes were no longer the cute and innocent ones they usually had, but rather the pupils of a predator.

Its eyes, wide like copper bells, scanned back and forth, and its nostrils twitched from time to time, easily reminding one of a well-trained police dog.

But Agumon is much more dangerous than a police dog.

"No, Taiichi, there's nothing here either."

After a while, Agumon's eyes returned to normal.

Scratching his head in slight distress, Agumon said listlessly.

Since the Chiba base reported information about Impmon, branches in various locations have begun searching for Impmon.

As Tokyo Devimon was highlighted for its unusual behavior, the Tokyo branch paid considerable attention to it.

Taichi Yagami, who was originally supposed to return to the Aokigahara Forest, also temporarily stopped his guard duties and began searching for Devimon.

After all, when it comes to Digimon, few people have more authority to speak than him.

Recently, he has been following Taichi all over Tokyo, searching for the whereabouts of that little Devimon.

But so far, nothing has been found.

It's as if that little Devimon has gone missing.

Instead, several other Digimon that were responsible for following LittleDevimon's orders to assist in collecting Despair Energy were identified.

The Tokyo shelters have welcomed a new Digimon after a long absence.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Agumon."

Nodding with some regret, Yagami Taichi, though inwardly anxious, did not show it on his face.

If the power of the Digital World were to strike again, he would definitely be at the forefront.

Even if he himself doesn't have this idea, the enemy will still come looking for him.

Because he was the so-called chosen child.

Thinking of the so-called 'chosen child', Taichi Yagami's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

When I was a child, I didn't think much of it, but now that I think about it, this so-called selection was really full of malice.

First, why should a few human children be asked to solve the crisis in the Digital World?

It's understandable if it's because they possess qualities that others don't.

But Taichi Yagami felt that he didn't have anything particularly outstanding or that could be called genius.

Secondly, this so-called selection was done without any consultation with them; it was a case of getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later.

They were thrown into the Digital World, and after they met their partner Digimon and overcame the initial difficulties, their identities were revealed. After that, it was only natural to let them solve the crisis.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will be thrown back into the human world after the crisis is resolved.

This behavior is just like you happily playing video games at home.

Then, out of nowhere, someone pops up and pulls you to a company that's about to go bankrupt, asking you to help out.

No salary, no benefits.

You'll have to pay for all the solutions yourself, and once they're resolved, they'll send you back home.

The company was jubilant because they had weathered the crisis.

The boss was very happy because he solved the problem without spending any money.

The employees were happy because they could continue to go to work peacefully.

You come in completely bewildered, and you leave completely bewildered.

They came empty-handed, and they left empty-handed.

The other party even told you with a straight face that this experience was the best reward because it helped you grow.

"Taiichi, it's not hard work."

Shaking its head, Agumon said somewhat dejectedly.

Agumon was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't find Devimon.

"Let's go back."

Gently patting Agumon's shoulder, a hint of tenderness flashed in Taichi Yagami's eyes.

If there was anything I gained from that trip during elementary school, it was undoubtedly Agumon.

For Taichi Yagami, it's both a crisis in the Digital World and the Chosen Children.

None of them are as important as Agumon.

"Ah."

Agumon nodded vigorously and followed Taichi Yagami out of the abandoned building.

For Taichi Yagami, Agumon was irreplaceable, and for Agumon, the same was true.

"The weather is so nice."

The moment he stepped out of the abandoned building, the bright sunlight made Yagami Tai unconsciously squint his eyes.

Under the azure sky, the thick white clouds resembled a painting.

A long time ago, when Yagami Taichi felt that the clouds were very thick, he inexplicably felt like he was looking at a painting from Norse mythology, especially the rich sense of layering.

This feeling is even more pronounced when he's bored in class.

"Yeah...wait, what?"

Mimicking Taichi Yagami's actions, Agumon also raised his paw to his forehead to block out the sunlight.

Just as Agumon was about to say a few words of reflection, he suddenly realized that it was getting dark.

To be precise, the originally azure sky was suddenly covered by a phantom.

This phantom image is almost everywhere you can see.

Although it only lasted a few seconds, it still caused a huge sensation in Tokyo.

What was that just now?

"Mirage?"

"I saw a primeval forest."

"There seem to be some strange creatures as well."

"Why do I not think it's a mirage?"

"It can't be that aliens are attacking Japan, can it?"

"What are you talking about? The aliens are definitely attacking America."

Although it only lasted a few seconds, it was definitely not a small number of people who saw it in Tokyo, a city with tens of millions of inhabitants.

Many people witnessed the scene: students staring blankly out the window during class, delinquents loitering outside, and fishermen contemplating whether to buy a couple of fish at the market.

The worst part is probably the countless cameras that are filming.

"Kaguya! Kaguya! Did you see that?!"

The girl with long pink hair frantically shook the arm of the girl next to her, her face full of disbelief.

The camera in his hand was still working faithfully until this moment.

"I saw."

With her crystal-clear pupils looking out the window, Kaguya Shinomiya's expression was one of utter astonishment.

"Agumon, what was that just now...?"

Looking at the sky, which had returned to normal, Yagami Taichi asked blankly.

Although it was brief, he would never admit his mistake.

That phantom, that phantom!

"Yes, it's the Digital World."

Agumon, who was also looking up at the sky, responded.

Even it knew that things seemed to be in big trouble.

The next second, Taichi Yagami's phone started vibrating wildly.

When Taichi Yagami took out his phone and looked at it, his expression turned even more grim.

"What's wrong, Taiyi?"

"Agumon, that phantom image just now, it seems like the whole of Japan saw it."

Okay, it's not just "seems" anymore.

This is really serious.

Unnoticed by the crowd, Dukemon, clad in a red cape, quietly descended.

Where are the chosen children?

Chapter 519 Let's go together if we have time.

Compared to its initial appearance, Dukemon now looks a little disheveled.

Leaving the Digital World without attracting the attention of the World Tree is no easy task.

Moreover, it has to guard against not only the World Tree, but also other Royal Knights and homeostasis.

Normally, homeostasis and the World Tree are always in a state of irreconcilable conflict, sometimes to the point of almost tearing each other apart.

They are all gods in the digital world, but they handle problems very differently.

The World Tree is aggressive, like a tyrannical ruler.

Anyone who disagrees will be beaten; he also has a sufficiently powerful elite force under his command.

The thirteen Royal Knights at the pinnacle of the Digital World are capable of handling the vast majority of situations.

Occasional unexpected situations can also be resolved relatively easily.

Here's something really interesting.

The Royal Knights were formed with the possibility that the enemy was not a Digimon.

Constancy is more like a ruthless system consciousness.

All it cares about is the peace and stability of the digital world.

It doesn't care about anything else; it's willing to use any means necessary to maintain peace.

Jesmon is usually represented by Jesmon in the Digital World.

(Does this count as working two jobs for one salary?)

Because of their differing ideologies and approaches to problem-solving, World Tree and Homeostasis are often in a state of mutual antagonism.

The World Tree infused Meicoomon with fragments of Apocalymon's power and its own, sending it to destroy the world.

After Homeostasis noticed this, it sent Jesmon to kill Meicoomon.
