Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Smile Shop, Clownmon.
Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Smile Shop, Clownmon.
The room was a mess, the store was dimly lit, and there were wooden boxes covered with white cloths, statues, and glass cabinets that slowed down the mess.
It's not a store at all, to a warehouse that's more like a pile of clutter.
Looking around at the chaotic scene in the store, Yabei thought to himself.
"Anyone?"
Yabei and the little demon beast walked to the counter, but they didn't see a figure at all.
The little monster noticed that there was a call bell on the counter, and it jumped to the counter curiously and pressed the call bell.
'Ding-'
A crisp bell rings.
Suddenly, a grinning but ghostly face appeared.
"Wow, ahhhh
Yabei and the little demon beast were startled, especially the little demon beast, who fell directly from the counter.
"Welcome to the Smile Shop! We offer a variety of exotic items! ”
It was a clown-like humanoid Digimon, and he looked at the two guests with a grin.
"Clownmon, Ultimate, Virus, Majin-type Digimon, the ultimate move is the Ace Throwing Knife."
D-ark of Yabei shows his profile.
"He's a clown."
"It's a human being, it's a rare guest."
He smiled at Yabei, but it made people shudder.
"Do you have anything you want? Our store has everything you need, and it will give you a discount~"
"Is there a limited edition Captain Levi figure?"
Completely instinctive, Yabei directly asked what he wanted.
"Nope"
The clownmon smiled a little awkwardly.
"Captain Levi has a naked pillow?"
"Nope"
In embarrassment
"Do you have any pajamas with the Strange Species Giant pattern for Commander Levi?"
"Nope"
Continue to be embarrassed.
"Uh, but I have a set of pajamas for little girls, which suits you perfectly"
"Didn't you say we have it all! Why don't I have anything at all!? ”
The goods I wanted were completely absent, and Yabei was a little hysterical.
"What about the integrity of the merchants? What about the basic trust between people?! ”
"Miss, I've never heard of the products you said, the products in this store are only from the digital world."
The clownmon took out a white handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. It's not easy to be a human customer
"What are figurines and pillows? If the materials are sufficient, you can tell me what you need to prepare, and I will help you order the goods you want. ”
"Really?"
Hearing his answer, Yabei looked expectant.
"You're an idiot! Don't you have a lot of boring toys in your room!? ”
Seeing that her partner was making a fool again, the little demon beast scolded her.
"Don't forget that you don't even have money for Uncle Ben's snacks!"
"Oops, I forgot that I didn't have enough money"
The words of the little demon beast directly made Yabei recognize the reality.
"I'm not very good at designing the appearance and pattern of the product, so it may be difficult to order, so forget it."
Yabei, who has a weak heart, can only refuse, and the price difference between ordering goods and buying finished products is very large.
"It's a shame to disappoint you."
Holding his head in his hands, the clownmon had a disappointed expression. This is the first time that customers have been unable to provide the products they want, and it is a shame to be in the slogan of our store.
"However, not long ago, I stumbled upon strange items that I had never seen before, one of which was a pillow. Maybe you'll be interested. ”
Soon, the clownmon was grinning again.
"Please wait a moment~~"
As he spoke, he opened a box, rummaged through the cabinets, and took out two items.
After seeing those two items, Yabei's eyes widened and he shouted excitedly.
"Ahh!!h Isn't this my lost Nintendo 3DS and Levi Commander mini pillow!? ”
The first time he went to the Digital World, Yabei took them on a trip. Unfortunately, after coming into contact with the pillar of light, these two items were included in the lost luggage. Yabei will never forget the 'pain' of losing something he loves.
Because he was too emotional, Yabei ran over and wanted to take it. However, the clownmon immediately raised its hand high, and Yabei couldn't reach it at all.
"Miss, this is a product from our store, what proof do you have to prove that it is yours?"
"My love is proof! I loved them every day before I lost them! ”
Yabei replied confidently.
"Idiot!"
The little demon beast raised his middle finger at Yabei with disdain.
"That's not proof, miss."
The clownmon shook its head regretfully.
"If you like these two items, you have to buy them."
"Sure enough, you have to spend money to buy it, and speaking of which, the currency of the digital world should be different from the human world, right?"
Yabei had to accept the reality that she didn't have much yen on her.
"Currency? No, no, we don't need these. ”
Clownmon denied.
"Don't need money to buy goods? You're not kidding, are you? ”
Yabei was shocked.
"The name of the store is 'Smile Shop', and if customers want to get their favorite products, they have to exchange them for the most sincere smiles."
The other party explained.
"It turns out that smiles can be exchanged for favorite products, but the digital world is really strange."
In order to get something of his own, he smiled.
"How's that smile?"
"It's too fake, it's not qualified!"
Yabei is embarrassed
"What about this?"
A smile turns into a laughing emoji.
"It's too contrived, it's not qualified!"
Yabei continued to be embarrassed.
"And this!?"
The smile became hideous.
"It's horrible! It's a monster's face! ”
It was completely counterproductive, and the smile on Yabei's face became stiff. Unable to stand his partner's idiotic appearance, the little demon beast continued to stretch out his middle finger to Yabei to express his disdain.
"So what kind of smile is genuine!?"
Putting away his smile, Yabei asked the clown.
Of course, it is a sincere smile from the heart, and only such a smile has value. None of the smiles in front of you are genuine, it's so fake! ”
The clownbeast replied earnestly.
"Well, let's calm down and think about it."
Yabei thought about it with a distressed expression, and then she calmed down first. Imagine the clown beast in front of you as a real-life version of Captain Levi, is it too tall? It doesn't matter, it's reverie anyway, just be happy.
Under Yabei's imagination, a giant commander about two meters tall soon appeared in his fantasy.
Then, clenching her fists, she endured the incongruity, narrowed her eyes, turned up the corners of her mouth, and smiled.
What a lovely smile
The little demon beast completely covered its face, and couldn't stand it anymore. What a shame!
"That's right! That's the smile! That's great! ”
Clapping his hands, the clownmon was satisfied with Yabei's smile.
"Two items are yours, miss."
"Oh! Finally got my stuff back! ”
Excitedly picking up the Nintendo 3DS and mini pillow, Yabei smiled happily. But the little monster kept an expression of 'I don't know you'.
"The genuine smile of a human being is amazing! Miss, as a special offer, we will give you a small gift. ”
The clownmon seemed to be in a good mood, and he tossed a red bottle of spray to Yabei.
"What is this?"
It feels familiar.
"This is my special pepper spray that stimulates the eyes, nose and senses of the enemy, and the effect is very powerful."
"Isn't it anti-wolf spray? Are you sure this will work on Digimon? ”
Yabei was skeptical of the Clownmon's explanation.
"Our store has always been honest, Miss, if you doubt the effect, you can experiment on me~"
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Yabei confirmed embarrassedly, always feeling as if he was looking forward to being abused? Could it be the legendary M?
"It's okay~ Come on! Squirt at me! Don't live up to my expectations~! ”
The tone is completely full of anticipation and excitement.
"I still think about this"
Hesitating.
"Don't worry! I'd love to try my own results, so come on! ”
"Ugh"
"Less ink! If you don't come, I'll come! ”
Unable to stand the ink blot of his partner, the little demon beast snatched the spray directly from Yabei's hand, jumped on the box, and sprayed at the clown beast.
"Woo-!!"
A sharp stinging pain was felt deep in the eyes and nose, and the clown beast cried out in pain as it covered its eyes, looking in pain.
"Are you alright?!"
Yabei, who was a little frightened, asked with concern, and began to blame the little demon beast.
"Stupid! What are you doing!? What a faux pas! ”
"He wanted to do the experiment himself, and Uncle Ben just did it."
The little demon beast was completely unimpressed.
"That's in Taihu!"
"It's okay, it's okay~~ Don't blame him, I'm very satisfied with its effect."
Releasing one of the hands, the clown beast revealed a squinting eye, persuading Yabei to be angry with his companion. It's obviously very uncomfortable, but it's happy.
"It's okay where! My eyes are turning red! ”
Yabei was even more frightened.
"The quality of our products is very guaranteed."
"Don't care about it now! You don't have to think of yourself as a test subject! My eyes look so painful! Feed! Don't show a cool expression of being abused! ”
Seeing that the clown beast endured the stinging pain in his eyes and showed a very cool expression, Yabei was in the cold. I actually ran into the legendary Shake M
"No, no, I'm just glad that the spray I made has great results."
The expression on the Clownmon's face completely betrayed his essence.
"Uh, thank you very much for the recommendation, we're almost gone, don't bother you"
"Little monster, let's leave."
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and after putting his things and gifts in his backpack, Yabei plans to leave.
Just as one man and one beast were about to walk out of the store, the clown beast suddenly shouted.
"Guest!"
Yabei turned back.
"Welcome to the next visit!"
"Try your best"
After reluctantly speaking, he slammed the door and closed the door.
"Is it?"
The clownmon reached out for the door, and fell to the ground and muttered.

After finishing the question with the molecular beast, Mina returned to the Dark Noble Mansion with the vampire beast with a heavy heart.
More than 10 years ago, the digital world was affected by mutations in the human world. As for the cause of the mutation, no answer has been given. There's also the connection between the Space-Time Concussion Bomb and the Sagemon. and Tomoshi Osawa killing Digimon and collecting data for a certain purpose, and it is unknown where he is. In the end, even if you find Chishi, what should be done to stop his extreme behavior?
"Dwelling too much on superfluous things will only prevent you from reaching your potential."
Knowing that Mina cared a lot about the information provided by the Molecular Beast, the Vampire Beast calmly reminded her.
"Be clear about your purpose."
"Yes, I just want to prove my ability and stop the strife."
Mina smiled wryly.
"But if it happens to the point of no return, I'm worried that I'll act in the same extreme way"
"Is it really the right thing to do to sacrifice one person and save two worlds?"
"If you are conscious enough, you can try extreme behavior."
The vampire beast knew exactly what Mina meant by her extreme behavior, it was another kind of consciousness, and it was cruel.
"However, your human companions are all chosen by the Digimon and have different abilities. They will rely on their own ability to complete a happy ending. Mina, do you think you're going to succeed if you want to do something extreme? ”
"Maybe they're better suited to create a happy ending than I am."
Mina trusts Ryder, Yabei, and Kaye, and sees that the Vampire Beast doesn't want to take on a cruel consciousness.
"You should return to your human companions now, the Dark Noble Mansion is not yet suitable for human habitation."
Stop talking about irrelevant topics and prevent Mina from continuing to care about superfluous things affecting her mood.
"The books on the shelves can be taken away at will, and you need to adjust your spirit and mentality."
Seeing the intention of the vampire monster, Mina smiled helplessly, took a certain book from the shelf, and left.
"You don't have to give your whole life to this decaying digital world"
After Mina left, the vampire beast muttered to herself.
