Chapter 36: Statue Memorial Area

When the music was over, it was almost dusk.

"I will remember this performance."

Ryder looked at the stage on the courtyard.

At sunset, the city is dyed bright orange.

"It's not bad to experience the exotic once in a while."

Yabei looked away from the light and chuckled.

"Huh? What about multi-way beasts? ”

Originally, he wanted to call it a multi-way beast, but Kaye looked in the direction of the dining table, and only the little demon beast was there.

"Little monster, do you know where the multi-way beast goes?"

Looking at the little demon beast resting on the grass with its round belly, Kaye asked.

"That guy, I got there with a weird golden guy."

It seems that because he is very full of food, the little demon beast is in a very good mood. It pointed in a certain direction and said.

"It seems to be a statue memorial area, a place built to commemorate the Digimon who passed away. This includes our compatriots who died five years ago."

The Jade Rabbit Beast walked over and explained.

"Well, it's the same as a cemetery."

Realizing what humans had done five years ago, Kaye whispered a little sadly.

"When a Digimon dies, it will be reborn as a Digi Egg and spend a new life. However, the disaster of five years ago has lost the opportunity to be reborn"

The Jade Rabbit Beast explained carefully, its eyes looking in that direction.

"So, I just don't want those who have passed away to be forgotten, but the purpose of the statue memorial is not entirely for the dead, but for the living"

"For the living?"

Kaye muttered as he watched the Jade Rabbit Beast.

"It's sad to lose an important companion. But as long as there is a breath left, it is impossible to stop. So those who stayed came there with thoughts of the deceased. Not to mourn the dead, but so that the living can overcome their grief, in order to embark on their own path again......"

A look of loneliness appeared on the face of the Jade Rabbit Beast. The red eyes looked wordlessly in the direction of the statue's memorial area. The calamity of five years ago, the tears left by the Celestial Maiden Beast because of the pain left by the lost companion, these impressions were deeply imprinted in its mind.

"Daddy"

Because of Jade Rabbit's words, Kaye remembered his father.

"Kaye, what are you talking about?"

Seeing that the Jade Rabbit Beast and Kaye were together, Yabei ran over curiously.

"Ah, the multi-road beast is gone, we have to find it."

Kaye only then remembered.

"Is that all? You see a lot of what you're talking about. ”

Yabei stared at Kaye with suspicion.

"It's just some of my life testimonials, don't pay too much attention to it."

The Jade Rabbit Beast is Kaye Roundfield.

"Digimon can also philosophize?"

It's a bit hard to imagine a Digimon saying something philosophical to humans.

"You're underestimating Digimon, not all Digimon are mindless creatures as you think they are."

The black dilumon who came over said to Yabei with white eyes.

"I don't think so."

Yabei's expression clearly defied her words.

"Hehe, both humans and Digimon are actually the same. So it's not a strange thing, don't you also love the music played by the elf beasts? ”

Ryder and the demon fox beast also walked over.

"Am I not racist? I'm just curious that Digimon will discuss philosophy, really, don't take me for a fool. ”

Under the meaningless smiles of several people, Yabei puffed out his face and said a little angrily.

Then he glared at Kaye angrily.

"It's all because of you!"

"I didn't do anything at all."

Kaye said with an innocent look on his face.

"You caused it too. Anyway, aren't you going to find the multi-way beast? Why don't you hurry up! ”

"I'll go!"

Not daring to provoke Yabei again, Kaye hurriedly ran towards the statue memorial area.

"Little demon beast, let's go too."

It seemed that he didn't want to be taken for a fool by Ryder and the Madeuzmon, so Yabei dragged the little monster beast over as well.

"Don't drag Uncle Ben! I'll go myself! ”

The little demon beast struggled to shake off Yabei's hand and followed unhappily.

"It's really inexplicably angry, the thinking of Japanese girls is really incomprehensible."

This time it was the turn of the Hedilumon to complain.

"She just feels underestimated by us."

Ryder understood why Yabei was angry.

"It's always been the case."

The Hedilumon has never recognized Yabei.

"By the way, the festival is almost over, is there anything else you would like to visit that I would like to help you with?"

Seeing that the festival was about to end, Jade Rabbit asked Ryder and the Demon Fox Beast.

"Ah, it's rare to come to the City of Angels, don't you mind if I know more about the culture and history here?"

Ryder laughed.

"Very happily."

Feeling the love of human beings for the culture and history of the City of Angels, the Jade Rabbit Beast showed a pleased smile.

"There's a big library in the city, where everything you need to know about the digital world. Maybe you humans can't understand the digital world, so I'll help translate it. ”

"Are the Ledrummons and Demon Fox Beasts coming?"

Ryder was very gentlemanly and invited two 'ladies'.

"It's an honor."

The demon fox beast bent down slightly, indicating etiquette.

"Are you going to spend your last days at the library?"

It was too boring for the Hedilumon to read all the time, it didn't have that kind of patience.

But it didn't want to be separated from Ryder, but it didn't want to spend boring time either. The Hedilummon hesitated.

If it is in the human world, the black road beast is also constantly fighting, or patrolling the human world in disguise as a cat, looking at all kinds of things, and time is quickly passed.

Seeing the hesitation on the face of the Hedilumon, Ryder guessed the thoughts of the Hedilummon in a flash of thought. Squatted down, touched the head of the black road beast, and smiled:

"Hedilumon, even if we are partners, we need a private space."

"Have a meaningful day on your own terms, I know you're a good girl."

"Me"

I wanted to say that staying by Ryder's side was enough, but looking into Ryder's eyes, the Ledrumon couldn't speak. It's not that he's bored with himself, but that Hedylumon understands that Ryder actually sees that he hates a boring day, but he forces himself to be with Ryder as a psychological comfort. In the long run, the Hemdilummon didn't have much personal space to do anything else he wanted.

"yes, it's not good to stick to Ryder all the time."

Nodding, the Darklumon said.

"Then I'll go and observe Kaye and Yabei first, if they do something wrong again, it will be troublesome. As a senior, it is necessary to care for your juniors. ”

As he spoke, the small figure of the Hedilumon disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"I've always wondered that Dark Digimon have unique personalities, but what did you humans give? Such a ability to make dark Digimon obey him"

Seeing the departing figure of the Black Rabbit Beast, the Jade Rabbit Beast couldn't help but express its confusion.

The partners of these Sons of Humanity are all Dark Digimon, and the personalities of Dark Digimon are often overwhelming. But the Children of Humanity were able to get along with the Dark Digimon so easily.

"Heddilumon has been with me for ten years, and it's like my family. However, Digimon actually have their own different emotions like humans, and I've always treated them like humans. ”

Ryder replied lightly.

"What about equality? Or the war of a thousand years ago, those Dark Digimon must have some reason to start a war. ”

In the dialogue with humans, the Jade Rabbit Beast also understood more truths.

It suddenly began to wonder what kind of reason those dark Digimon started wars in the past wars, even if it was a so-called terrible **. But there are also some Digimon who fight for their beliefs, and as for that Digimon, Jade Rabbitmon knows it very well.

"That's the difference between human beings."

The eyes of the demon fox beast showed recognition of human beings, and it was indeed right to choose those human sons by himself.

―1―

In the memorial area of the statue, Kaye is the only one searching for the multi-way beast. And Yabei and the little monster seemed to appreciate the statue of the Digimon without understanding, and didn't help Kaye at all

"The carving is so lifelike, it's so realistic."

Looking at a statue of an ice wizard beast in front of him, Yabei sighed.

"It's really similar to Captain Julia's wizarding beast, I don't know how the wizarding beast will feel when it sees this statue."

"Even if you see it, that quiet guy of the wizard beast won't say anything."

The little demon beast glanced at Yabei on the side.

"It's just statues anyway, what's so nice."

"Don't you see I'm appreciating art?"

Yabei objected.

"You don't know art at all."

The little demon beast complained.

"Do you understand?"

Yabei glared at his partner.

"Uncle Ben cares about this, hum, it's really boring."

The little demon beast turned around and said with a disdainful expression.

"That"

Kaye looked at the pair wordlessly, and stopped talking.

"Forget it, I'll find it myself."

So, giving up the reminder to Yabei and the little demon beast, Kaye reluctantly went to find the multi-way beast by himself.

At the same time-

"Ah, I'm lost."

The Digimon have long since disappeared from view. Where did it go? In this place where there are statues everywhere, there is no trace of a Digimon.

The multi-way beast had no choice but to stop, shrugging its ears in disappointment.

"Yikes"

A slight sound came from not far away, and at the sound of the sound, the multi-way beast raised its head again.

"Is it there!?"

A look of delight appeared on his face, and the multi-way beast followed the sound and ran in that direction.

―2―

"With the D-ark, you should be able to find the multi-way beast at a certain distance."

Kaye holds the D-ark in his hand, and a stereoscopic image of the disc is projected from the screen, and Kaye follows the red indicator in the direction of his partner.

"Bump---"

A dull thud came from ahead.

"It's the direction of the multi-way beast"

Looking at the arrows in the image, the direction of the sound is exactly where it comes from.

"Could it be?"

Worried that something might happen to the multi-way beast, Kaye ran a little nervously along the arrow.

"Multi-way beast!!"

When he ran to a relatively empty clearing, he was greeted by the dazed expression of the multi-way beast, and beside it, on the ground was a statue of the Divine Angel Beast that had already been shattered.

Kaye

The multi-way beast looked at Kaye as it appeared, dazed.

"Multi-way beast, this is"

Kaye looked at the shattered statue on the ground, and then at the multi-way beast.

"Kaye, I didn't do it. Actually, when I first came here, the statue was shattered. ”

Knowing why his partner wondered why the statue was broken, the multi-way beast hurriedly explained.

"Of course I believe in multi-way beasts"

Not sure what to say, but Kaye trusts the multiwaymon not to lie.

At this moment, a shrill siren sounded.

A pure white Digimon with a hideous appearance and a head that resembles a bird flies over. The Digimon was wearing black sunglasses and a red police light flashing on its head.

The Digimon are followed by two Pegasus-like Digimon with one horn.

"Gargoylemon, Maturity, Armor, Warcraft-type Digimon, Virus. The trick is the pitch-black statue. ”

"Unicornmon, mature, phantom beast type, vaccine Digimon. The special move is the Holy Spirit Cannon. ”

Kaye's D-ark immediately deciphered the information of several Digimon.

"Case! There's a case, right!? ”

Gargoyles seemed to be a little agitated in front of Kaye and the Multiwaymon.

When it saw the smashed statue on the ground, it opened its mouth in surprise.

"Ah, the commemorative statue of the Holy Angel Beast is covered"

"This statue was specially erected to commemorate the Divine Angel Beast who died fighting the evil forces, and you deliberately broke it, right?"

The gargoyle pointed resentfully at Kaye and the multi-way beast, interrogating.

"We didn't do it!"

The multi-way beast loudly denied.

"Less quibbling! It's just you here! ”

The other party didn't believe the words of the multi-way beast at all.

"We really weren't lying, we didn't break the statue. Trust us! ”

Kaye excused himself as he took the multi-way beast behind him.

―3―

"Why is it so noisy up front?"

The Hedy Road Beast, which was walking in the statue memorial area, also seemed to notice the commotion not far away, and walked there with some curiosity.

"Haha"

On the way, a small dog beast ran away from the statue memorial area with a panicked face, just in time to pass by the Hedilummon.

"What the hell?"

Glancing back at the puppymon, the black-dive-roadmon looked puzzled.

"Forget it, let's go ahead and have a look."

A few minutes later, after the Hedilumon came to the place where the commotion had occurred. I happened to see Kaye and Dorumon there, being interrogated by several Digimon, and there was a smashed statue on the ground.

"What the hell is going on?"

The Hedy Road Beast walked over and asked.

"Hemdilummon"

Seeing the Black Diplomon, Kaye looked aggrieved.

"Because the statue was inexplicably broken, but the gargoyle beast thought that we did it on purpose, and didn't listen to our explanation at all."

"Statues"

The Hemdilummon looked at the shattered statue on the ground, then looked up at the ferocious gargoyle beast and thought it was funny.

"Do they have any proof that you did it?"

"Nope"

The multi-way beast shook its head.

"Gargoyle beast, what proof do you have that they broke the statue?"

If Kaye and the Dormon were in trouble in the City of Angels over a trivial matter, Ryder would be a nerve-wracker. After all, it was not easy for the Divine Celestial Maiden to reach a friendly relationship with humans. In order not to annihilate the fragile relationship, the Hemdilumon decides to help his juniors.

"Evidence?"

Seeing the dark Digimon in front of him questioning him, the gargoylemon's tone was disdainful.

"There are no Digimon left in this place other than this human and Digimon. They are the sinners who let the statue shatter! ”

"Aha!!"

Hearing the other party's answer, the Hedilumon burst out laughing.

"Just arriving at the first scene and seeing witnesses said that the other party was a prisoner, this reasoning is ridiculous! When did the IQ of you hypocrites drop to this extent? ”

"What?"

Teased by the Ledhemmon, the gargoyle is annoyed.

"If this was the scene of the crime, the prisoner would have fled immediately instead of staying. Of course, the prisoner will also leave clues. As for how to find the clues, you should carefully check the scene yourself. ”

"Hmph, it's just a broken statue that was broken, what's the fuss, just rebuild one. Kaye, Dowaymon, let's go, ignore those guys. ”

Not bothering to pay attention to the gargoyle, the Hadilumon urged Kaye and the multi-way beast to leave early.

"But that's not good."

Kaye hesitated a little, after all, leaving at such a moment would only make the other party more suspicious.

"There's nothing to worry about, you didn't do it in the first place."

The Black Road Beast urged as he pushed the Multi-Way Beast.

"Alright, let's get out of here."

"Bastard! Damn Dark Digimon, if even you cause trouble, I'll arrest you all together! ”

The gargoyle beast, which was so insulted by the other party, showed an annoyed expression and gave the order to attack the Pegasusmon.

"Qigong Bomb!"

Two unicorns spit out light bullets from their mouths at the same time, attacking all three.

The light projectile hit the ground and caused an explosion, and the three fell to the ground due to the aftermath. Kaye and the multi-way beast fainted.

"Damn hypocrites dare to attack me!"

An angry voice came from the mouth of the Hedilummon, and the hair on the hair of the Hedilummon stood up and its golden eyes sharpened.

It didn't like these hypocrites in the first place, and then it was attacked for boring reasons. The Hemdilumon was completely enraged.

"Cat Punch!"

With great speed and strength, the Hemdilumon slammed into the gargoyle.

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, the gargoyle beast was knocked several meters away, slammed into a stone pillar, and then lay on the ground weakly and lost consciousness. The stone pillar behind him also showed huge cracks.

"Gargoyle Beast Chief!"

Seeing that their commander was beaten unconscious by the petite Ledirmon in front of them, the two unicorn beasts focused all their anger on the culprit.

"Damn Dark Digimon! How dare you hurt the gargoyle chief! ”

The ball of light appeared from the unicorns' mouths again, aiming at the Ledhemon Lumon.

"Don't underestimate people, hypocrites."

The Hedilumon said disdainfully.

Despite its petite appearance, Darklummon is a true mature Digimon with great strength.

"Holy Spirit Cannon!" *2

The two unicorn horses simultaneously fired high-density energy projectiles from their mouths, and while the Hedilumon nimbly dodged the attack, it jumped off the ground and jumped into the air with the stone pillar as a pedal.

"Cat Eye!"

The golden eyes emitted a light like the Akanochala, immobilizing one of the unicorns for a moment, and taking advantage of it to strike hard.

The face of the unicorn beast that had eaten the blow was unnaturally distorted by the blow, and its consciousness was temporarily blanked by the blow to its brain.

Then, with the help of the unicorn's body as a pedal, it jumps in front of another unicorn, but before the unicorn can react, the black dilumon attacks it again with a combination of cat eyes and cat fists.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the two unicorn beasts hit the ground with a bang, smashing a deep pit in the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust around them.

"Humph! Deserve! ”

Flipping over and landing safely, the Black Diplummon looked at the three Digimon that had been knocked down, and snorted proudly.

"Abominable Fellow"

The awakened gargoyles looked at the Hedilumon indignantly.

"Do you still want to fight?"

The Hedilumon sneered.

"Abominable"

Several Digimon showed unwilling expressions, and the Ledhemon was too strong.

Suddenly, a dark pink beam flashed.

"Ugh!"

The black dilumon, which was in a very relaxed mood, was stunned to the ground before it could react.

At this time, the Celestial Maiden appeared, and her index finger was aimed at the Hedilummon.

"Sure enough, humans can't be trusted, and the Dark Digimon won't change their nature."

Putting away her index finger, the Celestial Maiden said in a deep voice.

"Take the prisoners away. Even outsiders are not allowed to break the law. ”

"Yes!"

The gargoyles and unicornmons hurriedly took Kaye and the multi-way beast and the black-way beast away, and flew away from the statue memorial area with the Celestial Maiden.

"Hey! What the hell is going on here!? ”

Because of the commotion, Yabei and the little demon beast who rushed to hear the news happened to see their companions being taken away by the Celestial Maiden
