Chapter 137: Coming to the Human World; A reunion with Sakura

Let's tell an irrelevant little story.

In a mountain hut in the southwestern part of the Digital World, there used to be a royal knight called Stubbornmon. One day, the stubborn beast brought a baby black ball beast to his residence, and together with the nun beast sisters, he cared for and nurtured the black ball beast.

Because, in the eyes of the Stubbornmon, the Black Ball is a Digimon worth cultivating and has infinite possibilities for the future.

However, although the black ball beast has a good talent, it is very willful, and hates that its life is arbitrarily decided, and often rejects the good intentions of the stubborn beast. It is also often lazy or running away during training, and every time it is caught by the nun beast sisters, the stern stubborn beast will lecture it.

Later, after the Black Ball Beast evolved into the Rolling Ball Beast, it was still the same. After all, the Ball Beast is still a 'child' in its infancy, and it is normal for it to be rebellious and 'disciplined'. The Stubborn Beast still believes that his 'disciple' will one day wake up and become one of the 'knights' who will protect the world in the future.

One day, however, the Stubborn suddenly tells the Ball Ball that the Digi World is about to face a terrible calamity, and that he must help the chosen son of humanity by the Digimon. And remind the Rolling Ball Beast that it must never leave the hut until it returns! Then, the stubborn beast left with the nun beast sisters.

Of course, Ballmon is not such an obedient 'child'. Shortly after the 'Guardian' left, the Bowling Ball quickly left the mountain hut and ran outside to play. Even if they are sometimes chased by dangerous Digimon, the 'free' Ballmon doesn't care at all. As long as they return to their residences, the dangerous Digimon will naturally not dare to approach.

However, to the displeasure of the Bowling Beast, the Golden-Armored Drakemon, a companion known to the Stubborn Beast, would sometimes come to the mountain hut on a regular basis to learn about the Rolling Ball Beast's living conditions.

"Ahh Throw such an inconsequential little thing to me to help, what the hell is that stubborn beast doing? I've been missing for a while, and I won't show up. ”

Commissioned by the Stubborn Beast before leaving, the Golden-Armored Drakemon, which regularly visits the Rolling Ball Beast, often complains about the Stubborn Beast.

Speaking of which, the Golden Armor Dragon Beast and the Stubborn Beast are obviously also royal knights. But compared to the stubborn beast, the golden-armored dragon beast is not powerful at all, and it is also short in height and a bit childish. Not only is the food super unpalatable, but the patience is also average. I really don't understand how this immature Digimon became a Royal Knight?

Anyway, the golden-armored dragon beast won't get in the way of playing around. Childhood is all about playing! As a result, the pétanque who likes to play still repeats the life he likes.

But until the day when the digital world was in for a catastrophe --

Ballmon panted and ran through the mountain trail, and the Digimon's heart-rending screams and terrifying roars could be heard in the distance, but it didn't look back, just desperately fled towards the mountain hut protected by the barrier.

However, the physical strength of the baby Digimon is limited after all, and the speed of the Ball Ball gradually slows down. After running wildly for dozens of minutes, it was exhausted, and its body was no longer able to move as if it had been filled with lead. Thankfully, at the end of the mountain road, it finally came to the abode of the Stubborn Beast.

Outside the mountain hut, the Dark-Tempranus is cut off by the barrier that protects the hut. But this seemingly sturdy guardian barrier was only exchanged for a moment of peace.

The rampaging Dark Multi-Road Tyrannosaurus frantically attacks the enchantment, under the terrifying destructive power. The rift that guards the enchantment is getting bigger and bigger, and it's reaching its limit.

"Don't! No!! No!!! ”

The Bowling Beast hiding in the house was trembling with fear, and it was only a matter of time before the terrible dragon attacked him. Now that the digital world has become hell, there is no way to escape. It could only pray desperately that the dragons would spare itself

“――！！”

The sound of glass shattering sounded, and the barrier was destroyed. Then, the massive Dark Multi-Road Tyrannosaurus directly crashed into the hut and let out a low roar at the Bowling Ball Beast inside.

With a low roar, the Dark-Tyrannosaurus stretched out its claws towards it. If you don't react, you'll be torn apart by your claws in just a moment.

And that's when it finally reacted. With all its physical strength, the Rolling Ball Beast barely managed to dodge the sharp claws of the Dark Multi-Road Tyrannosaurus.

Seeing that the prey had fled from under its claws and disappeared, the unintelligent dragon roared impatiently. But it didn't intend to leave the place, it destroyed everything in front of it.

With the help of its tiny body, the Rolling Ball Beast hides itself under the rubble and crawls slowly, trying to avoid the dragon.

But at this moment, the earth suddenly disappeared, and the abyss began to appear.

The dragon flapped its wings and flew into the air, and the poor Bowling Ball Beast fell into the abyss along with the fragments of the ruins.

"Help"

The exhausted Rolling Ball Beast had no strength to call for help, its eyes staring blankly at the gray sky and the green orb of the human world.

Are you really dead? The Ballmon thought desperately, this was the only thing it could recognize.

So, it closed its eyes and felt like the whole world was fading away.

Then, all that remained in front of the ball beast was a patch of pink

Wait a minute! Pink!?

Sensing that something was wrong, the Rolling Ball Beast opened its eyes again, and in the pink light, a pillar of light swept towards itself.

It's a teleportation beam! Hope reignited in the heart of the Bowling Beast. Digimon that are sucked into the pillar of light have a good chance of being teleported to the human world!

In the face of miracles, you will be saved! The simple Ball Beast was convinced.

After the pillar of light swept towards the Ball Beast, the Ball Beast felt a strong wind blow its body violently and move upward.

"Ball Ballmon!!"

Inside the pillar of light, the Rolling Ball Beast vaguely heard someone shouting to him outside. Maybe it's an auditory hallucination

"Ballmon !!"

After destroying the Dark Road Tyrannosaurusmon, the Golden Armor Dragonmon who hurried in happened to see the figure of the Rolling Ball Beast flashing in the pillar of light. Just as the Golden Armor Dragonmon was about to fly into the pillar of light, trying to take the Rolling Ball Beast away. Helplessly, the pillar of light disappeared too quickly, and the action of the golden-armored dragon beast failed.

"Damn, it turned out to be a step too late!"

The golden-armored dragon beast looked at the direction where the pillar of light disappeared unwillingly, and secretly cursed that it was too late. Although the Ball Ball Beast is a disciple of the Stubborn Beast that disobeys the 'God', after all, he promised the Ball Beast to ensure the safety of the Ball Beast, not to mention that the Ball Ball Beast has nothing to do with the Stubborn Beast. A promise is a promise, and he doesn't hate the stubborn beast, he must have some kind of trouble against the will of the 'gods'. A royal knight loyal to the god will never betray the god.

Then find the Ball Beast first! With this in mind, the golden-armored drake beast flew to the human world. He understands that the teleportation pillar can teleport Digimon below the entire body to the human world

―1―

In the sky, a white beam of light fell from the sky. Inside the beam, a small figure appeared.

"Is this the human world?"

Flying out of the white pillar of light, Badamon looked around with a slight uneasiness.

Collapsed houses, burning ruins, streets reduced to rubble, and no human beings were seen. In the vague memory, the once prosperous city is gone, and only a destroyed city remains

"It's so miserable, is this all the work of the royal knights?"

Before going to the human world, the cherubimon actually told himself about what was going on in the human world. When Badamon truly witnessed the horrors of the human world, it realized that the scene in front of it was even more cruel than it had imagined.

Badamon subconsciously raised its head, only to see a huge crack in the crimson sky, and in the crack, it showed the desolate scene of the digital world.

"As cherubimon said, both the digital world and the human world are facing disaster."

Worried about the worlds on both sides, Badamon sighed deeply. The reason why I came to the human world is only to recover the memories that I once lost. However, after witnessing the tragic situation of the two worlds, the troubles in the heart of the Badamon also increased. Without any power, he couldn't do anything, and even willfully caused trouble for the cherubimons and came to the human world without permission. However, in order not to leave regrets, Badamon decided to fulfill his wish alone

The girl had to see herself

Speaking of which, how should I find her? Gently sparing his head with his claws, Badamon looked distressed.

"Chirp~~~Chirp~~~"

At this time, a cute voice came from overhead. Badamon looked up at the creature in mid-air that glowed with a soft golden light.

It's a Digimon --

"Chirp~~"

The Digimon looked at Badamon for a moment, then flew in a certain direction, as if to guide itself.

"Ah, wait for me"

Flapping its wings, Badamon hurriedly flew in the direction of the Digimon's guidance. You can't go wrong by following the guidance of our ancient ancestors! It firmly believes.

Following the Digimon, Badamon weaves through the ruined city. Digimon are relatively fast, and if you don't follow them carefully, it's easy to get lost.

Badamon follows the Digimon as it flies farther away from the city, a residential area adjacent to the suburbs. Compared to the central city, the residential area was not much damaged by the disaster.

Flying up the slope, Badamon reached the crossroads. Or the proximity to the suburbs, where the houses in the nearby residential areas remain basically the same.

The farther you fly up the hill, the fewer houses there are. Among the few houses located above is a small two-storey villa surrounded by a white picket fence and looks imposing. The Digimon flew there, but quickly vanished.

It seems that the destination has arrived. It's just that

"No, she shouldn't live here."

The house in front of him was strange to Badamon. In my vague impression, the girl's home was a bit ordinary and warm. It is not a room that looks grand on the surface, but is very deserted.

It's really strange, why do you know so much about her? Badamon smiled wryly. But since it's the guidance of the Digital Elves, it's necessary to investigate it yourself. She must be here

cherry

In anticipation, Badamon flew into the courtyard.

"Ahh Get out of the way!! ”

Before he could call, there was a sudden anxious cry from the sky. Subconsciously raising its head, Badamon saw a beige 'ball' falling quickly from the air towards him.

"Dangerous !!"

Falling to himself was a rolling ball beast. How could the kind-hearted Badamon let the ball ball beast fall directly to the ground and cause injury, it flapped its wings desperately and flew towards the ball ballmon, and spread its small claws to catch the ball ballmon.

Helplessly, the size of the two little ones is really small. In this way, the ball beast slammed directly into Badamon, and its body ached from the impact. Badamon rolled its eyes and fell to the ground with Ballmon.

"Knock-!!"

With a loud bang, the ground shook slightly.

"Mom! There is a strange noise in the courtyard!! ”

Hearing the sound of a crash in the direction of the courtyard, Sakura hurriedly ran to Jane's side, gently tugging at her mother's shirt with her hand, and said with a worried expression.

"Sakura, stay here obediently, I'll go to the courtyard and check it out."

To determine if there was any danger outside, Jane planned to walk alone to the living room that led to the courtyard.

"I'm going with my mom too!"

Maybe it was out of curiosity, or some other hunch, Sakura said, taking Jane's hand.

"Okay"

With a wry smile, Jane agreed to the child's request.

The mother and daughter walked to the living room, opened the high wood-framed glass door, and looked cautiously into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a Digimon with a white breakthrough and a round orange Digimon and an oval Digimon resembling a 'dango' were lying on the ground.

"Hmm"

The two little ones opened their eyes at the same time and stood up a little confused; It seems that the impact just now is really not small.

"Badamon?"

Sakura, who was hiding behind her mother, saw the familiar figure and her eyes widened in surprise. The memory of a brief time together once again came to Sakura's mind.

――I'm Badamon, and you've evolved to protect Sakura. ――

――Please advise, Sakura. ――

――I said I would protect Sakura――

――I'll protect Sakura!! ――

"Badamon"

Sakura's face smiled with joy, and Badamon returned to her once more.

"Badamon!!"

With her arms outstretched, Sakura ran to Badamon's side and held it tightly in her arms.

"Great, Badamon, I'm sure you'll find me"

Holding Badamon tightly, Sakura cried with joy.

"It's so hard"

Badamon, who was held tightly in the girl's arms, was a little out of breath.

"Ah, I'm sorry"

Sakura quickly let go of her hand and looked at Badamon.

"Are you Sakura?"

Looking at the girl's face and feeling the breath of nostalgia, Badamon said the girl's name.

"Have you forgotten me?"

Although the other party said her name, Sakura felt that Bada Beast had become much stranger than before, and the joy on the girl's face quickly turned to disappointment.

"Ahh Don't ignore me! Who's going to tell me if this is a human world?! ”

The ball, which had been ignored, felt very uncomfortable, and made a noise around Badamon and Sakura.

"It's a ballmon."

Badamon then noticed that the baby Digimon he had saved was Ballballmon, and answered its question.

"We are indeed in the human world."

"Then I'm finally safe."

With a deep breath, the 'Escape' Rolling Ball finally eased its tense nerves, and then it closed its eyes and lay on the ground unconscious.

"Are you alright?!"

Even if he wasn't familiar with the ball ball at all, Badamon still wanted to be able to help it.

"Can you help me move the ball beast into the house? It looked like it was tired and needed a break. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

After a moment's pause, Sakura agreed to Badamon's request.

※※※※※

In the living room of the house, Sakura and Badamon sat face to face on the sofa and communicated with each other. The sleeping Bowling Ball Beast is placed on a single couch next to it.

"Badamon"

Looking at Badamon sitting across from her, Sakura didn't know how to face the Badamon who had lost her memory.

Her brother had told her that when Digimon was reborn as a DigiEgg, all memories of the past would disappear.

"Badamon, have you really forgotten me?"

To reconfirm, Sakura asked again.

"I'm sorry I only have vague memories"

With his head slightly bowed, Badamon apologized.

"I forgot important memories, and in order to recover that lost memory, I came to the human world"

"Sakura, are you really the human who impressed me in my lost memories?"

"Yes! It's great that you haven't completely forgotten me."

Hearing Badamon's words, Sakura regained hope and smiled.

"Even if the memory is forgotten, the bond between us will not disappear"

"Besides, Badamon promised me that he would always be by my side.

"Sakura"

That's right, it was the girl's sunny smile that filled Badamon with nostalgia, and even his heart felt warm. Sakura is really pitiful

When compared to her favorite Celestial Maiden, the Divine Maiden's expression was as bright as the moon, and Sakura's smile was like the warm sun.

The moon-like light and the warm sunshine are very popular with Badamon.

"Ah, Sakura. Can you tell me about the important memories you lost? ”

That's right, Sakura will definitely tell herself. The lost memories will soon be retrieved, and Badamon's heart is filled with joy.

"No problem, I'm glad I was able to tell Badamon all the time we spent together."

Sakura replied with a smile.

The time when I met Badamon for the first time --

Time to play with Badamon --

And the determination of the Bada Beast to protect the cherry blossoms――――

and the Celestial Maiden and the Divine Maiden Beast in order to recapture the Bada Beast and the human race. ―――

In the end, Badamon's thoughts are distorted, and even if he mistakenly evolves into the loss of Satanmon, 'Badamon' only came to see Sakura. With everyone's concerted efforts, 'Badamon' was finally reborn as a Digi Egg and was sent back to his hometown.

Happy things, sad things, sad things, Sakura told Badamon in great detail. During the two days she spent with Badamonon, Sakura kept her memories alive.

"I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble because of me. On behalf of myself and the Celestial Maiden and the Angel Slasher, I apologize to you for your actions."

Knowing of his past and the extreme behavior of the Celestial Maiden, Badamon fell into a deep sense of self-reproach and sincerely apologized to Sakura.

"It's okay, as long as everyone is safe and Badamon is well taken care of, I'm already happy."

Shaking her head slightly, Sakura didn't care at all about what happened more than a month ago.

"Besides, didn't Badamon meet me again and get the memories I lost?"

"Sakura"

Badamon in self-reproach looked up at Sakura. Then, a smile appeared on its face, and it was glad that it had no regrets.

"Thank you, Sakura. I'm really happy to see you again."
