Chapter 61: Mina. Albarrea

Late November 2013, Germany --

My friend's birthday party had just ended, and it was nearly 10 o'clock in the evening.

Mina. Alone in the streets, Yarbaria walked straight towards his home. On such a cold day, everyone will speed up their pace and walk in the direction of home.

It's already cold on the streets. The wind was cold, and the darkness of the night was as sharp as a blade. It was supposed to be quite active, but tonight it was a bit gloomy.

“”

Looking at the D-ark in her hand, the girl's emerald green eyes instantly seemed a little lonely.

It has been nearly ten years since I was separated from 'him', and for myself who was once a child, ten years is not a short time.

At that time, Mina also always believed that she would meet that person again one day. Why are you so sure? She herself wasn't very clear. Maybe it's a woman's intuition, or maybe it's an arrangement in the dark.

In addition to her father's partner Digimon, she also kept the D-ark secret secret from her for ten years

With everyone around her owning the machine and being with her partner Digimon, there may not be any need for Mina to hide it. However, since that incident ten years ago, she has also understood that her partner is different.

The 'Lord of the Night' is arrogant, 'he' has his own beliefs, he will not protect mankind, and everything about mankind has nothing to do with 'him'.

What's more, Mina's parents don't want their daughter to have too much involvement with Digimon at all, and a peaceful life is precious.

Only that hope was hidden in the deepest part of his heart, at least, because 'he' didn't see him for some reason. But if something is about to happen, 'he' has to choose to meet again.

Thinking of this, Mina shook her head and quickly interrupted this thought.

Because, with the character of 'him', he will not easily meet himself, and once he 'reunites', it means that something very serious will happen in the near future. After all, the incident ten years ago was too impressive.

With D-ark, it's enough to reminisce about past encounters. In fact, Mina also believes that 'he' has been silently observing herself.

"That's enough"

Mina smiled wryly.

"Woo... Woo..."

A cute voice came from overhead, and Mina subconsciously raised her head and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

A strange and cute creature with a faint golden glow all over its body stopped at the top of the street lamp ball about ten meters high. Looking at Mina with small black eyes, the creature seemed to be smiling.

"Digi Genie"

Mina knows this strange creature, and ten years ago, her encounter with 'him' and her partnering was also related to the Digimon.

If you were an ordinary person, you would love this cute creature. After that incident ten years ago, Mina, who had been deceived by the cute appearance of the Digimon, has lost her affection for it.

As a guide to the correct fate, perhaps the Digimon have no ill will. Therefore, the guidance of fate, then the passage on the way is not a good thing.

Ten years ago, both himself and Ryder's disappearance were related to the Digimon.

"Are you here to guide fate again?"

Mina asked the Digimon coldly.

"Chirp~~~Chirp~~~"

The Digimon nodded, and after a few soft screams. After leaving the streetlamp and flying around Mina's head, she slowly flew in a certain direction as if she were guided.

“”

Knowing that it was guiding herself, Mina chased after her.

The direction of the guide is not in front of the station where there are many pedestrians, but in the more secluded alleys.

The space between buildings is not called a road, but a space called an alley.

This path surrounded by surrounding buildings may not even have sunlight during the day, right? It belongs to the gap in the dead end of the city, and there are usually homeless people who spend their days here. Sometimes, gangsters rob pedestrians who pass by alone.

In short, it would be equally unwise to go into the alley alone in order to chase the Digimon. But Mina didn't care about that, and continued to follow the Digimon's lead.

Its speed began to increase, and Mina, who was following it, had to pick up her pace.

At some point, her vision was obscured by a sudden white fog, and Mina's eyes were so white that she couldn't see the scene in front of her. Even the Digimon lost it.

"Digital Battlefield"

She was wary, because she knew very well that this was no longer an ordinary secluded alley, but an authentic digital battlefield. As long as Digimon appear in the human world, a dense fog will appear in this area as a digital battlefield for a short time.

“… Yes... Ahh

The sound of pain came from the depths of the dense fog, and a large and blurred black shadow gradually appeared in the thick fog.

Digimon

Mina took out the D-ark and looked at the shadow warily.

“… Ahh

There was another strange gasp in the fog, and Mina followed the sound as she slowly walked forward. Despite the strange fog in the dark alley, Mina was not at all afraid of the threat that existed in the fog.

Unsurprisingly, Mina spotted the dark shadow, curled up in agony, its brown body covered in horrible scars, its limbs spasming and twisting together, as if it were under great torment.

"You're hurt"

Mina calmly asked the Digimon in front of her, and at the same time, the D-ark in her hand showed its information.

Yundimon, a mature, virus-strained, orc-type Digimon with a special move of destroying Sonic and the Long Arm of a Stick.

"Bastard human beings because of you and me"

Mina was puzzled to hear it. However, if a Digimon appears in the city, the Hunters will soon come and turn it back into a Digimon.

"Have you been attacked by humans? But do I know you're hurt and need my help? If you're found by 'them', you'll be reincarnated into a Digi Egg. ”

After all, this is the rule of the human world, and his words may be very naïve, but when he sees that the life in front of him is seriously injured, he doesn't want to sit idly by.

The Yundimon let out a strange laugh, its expression hideous, and its voice was unusually angry.

"Help? I never accept help from humans! You humans are more hypocritical than those hypocrites! ”

"Attacking us for no reason, humans have turned into Digimon and slaughtered us!! Woo"

Because of the emotion, Yundimon's wounds were affected by emotions and began to spill out information. A pained expression appeared on its face.

"Humans turned into Digimon and slaughtered you? What's going on here? ”

Mina shuddered, her instincts warning her that there must be some terrible secret in this.

"It's all your human fault!! Neither the invasion of five years ago nor the present is unforgivable!! ”

Suddenly, Yundimon's arms reached out before Mina could react.

With a creaking sound, she was caught, and D-ark slipped from her hands and fell to the ground. The force that could not resist grabbed Mina so that she could not breathe, and she could hear something creaking in her body.

-- What did humans do? ――

The sound could no longer come out of Mina's throat.

"Mina !!"

It was as if she had heard someone shouting her name, and by the time she came back to her senses, she had fallen to the ground.

Regaining her breath, Mina lifted her face to see that Yundimon's arm had been severed by a stout angel with eight wings on its back.

"Wow, wow, ah!! Damn hypocrite!! ”

The Yundi Beast glared at him angrily, and the angel wordlessly waved the holy sword that emitted divine light, splitting the Yundi Beast in half.

In a fit of resentment, Yundimon vanishes into data, and a Digi egg falls to the ground. The surrounding fog also dissipated due to the disappearance of the Yundi Beast.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

The angel turned around and asked.

"I'm alright, Holy Angelmon."

Slightly frightened, Mina's face was a little ugly. What made her care was what Yundimon had said.

(Invasion five years ago?) Humans become Digimon? What the hell is going on)

"What's wrong? Your face doesn't seem to be good, so it can't be that you're uncomfortable, right? ”

"No, I'm just thinking about something"

"However, it is already too late. It's dangerous to walk here alone at night, so it's better to go home as soon as possible. After all, your parents didn't want you to have an accident, and they specially asked me to protect you. ”

"Even you treat me like a child"

Despite the Divine Angel Beast's words of concern, Mina's mood was still a little lost. Because, she doesn't want to be overprotective.

"No parent would want their child to be in danger, Mina, your parents have been"

"Chirp~~Chirp~~"

The Holy Angel Beast was about to say 'Parents have always loved you', but the words were interrupted by a lovely voice.

Originally, Mina chased down the Digimon, but this time she turned back.

"Digi Genie"

Seeing this little guy with a cute golden appearance, the Divine Angel Beast was also a little surprised. Although it was the first time I had seen a digital elf, I felt inexplicably familiar. But Mina was not surprised at all, and looked up at the Digimon and said.

"Please continue to guide."

"Mina, what the hell is this?"

"I'm accepting my fate, and the answer will soon know."

Picking up the D-ark that had fallen to the ground, Mina had a premonition in her heart. D-ark's screen also glows faintly, as if it is starting to resonate with something.

"I understand, although I am guided by fate, at least let me accompany you."

Without further questioning, the Divine Angelmon put away Yundimon's Digi Egg and planned to accompany the girl. After all, it was still necessary to keep her safe during such a period of time.

"Hehe, then it's hard for you."

Mina smiled softly as she received guidance from the Digimon along with the Divine Angelmon who accompanied her.

―1―

The sky was twisting, and the distortion was beginning to form a dimensional hole. In the dimensional cave, a white pillar of light fell directly from the sky.

"Didi-"

A disk-shaped stereoscopic image appears on Mina D-ark's screen, and a red arrow appears in the stereoscopic image, indicating the direction of the light pillar.

"My Destiny"

The Digimon had already left, staring at the white pillar of light, Mina's expression tinged with anticipation. But the Divine Angel Beast was a little nervous to protect her behind him, staring at the pillar of light vigilantly. From the pillar of light, he felt a dark aura, a familiar dark aura. As an Angel Digimon, it is very sensitive to the aura of darkness. Moreover, it is still an instinctive disgust.

"Mina, beware of a dark aura emerging from the pillar of light."

A kitten-like black shadow jumped out of the pillar of light, and upon seeing the cat, Mina and the Divine Angel Beast were stunned for the first time.

"I'm back. Ah, how could Mina and the brainless hypocrite be here? ”

The Hedilummon was originally very happy when it returned to the human world, but when it saw the Divine Angelmon, its pleasant mood quickly turned to displeasure.

"Call your companion a hypocrite, and don't always call him that excessive, okay?"

The familiar aura of darkness came from the Dark Lumon, and the Divine Angelmon breathed a sigh of relief. But it was very unpleasant because of its words, although the black road beast also had a dark aura, but it was still different from what he had felt before. Could it be that the dark aura was just an illusion of oneself?

Despite meeting each other frequently as DHT's companions, the Hemdimon likes to refer to itself as a 'hypocrite'. Although I'm used to being called this while hunting other Dark Digimon, I often call myself 'hypocrite' as a companion, which makes Divine Angelmon very disgusted, and maybe it's a common problem for Dark Digimon?

"Hmph, I'm sorry, I'm used to it."

The Hedilumon apologized insincerely, his tone disdainful. The corners of the Divine Angel Beast's mouth twitched slightly, and he tried his best to warn himself not to embarrass his partner because of meaningless quarrels and bad relationships between his companions. If the team is affected, the human partners will also have a hard time.

"Ledder is back here with you, right?"

Mina asked, the Hemdylumon had always been inseparable from Ryder. Since it's there, then Ryder must be with it.

"That's right."

The flirtatious voice just proved Mina's thoughts, and Ryder stepped out of the pillar of light with a smile on his face.

"I haven't seen each other in about half a year, Mina. You're prettier than ever, don't look at me with such disgust, I'm telling the truth. ”

"Let's be honest with your partner, it's a pity that the Hedilumon has such a caring partner as you. Instead of praising other women without sincerity, it is better to praise Hedilummon more. ”

For the friends who haven't seen each other for half a year and the praise for herself, Mina retorted to Ryder with a little disgust in her eyes.

"Ryder wants to say whatever he wants, it's his freedom!! I'm a noble Dark Digimon, and it's impossible to be impressed by a heartless compliment. ”

Mina's retort to Ryder didn't take into account the mood of the Hedilumon, and it said with a little annoyance.

"So Ryder's praise for you all this time isn't sincere, right?"

"Ryder is my partner! The compliment, of course, is genuine! ”

I didn't expect to be countered by Mina at all.

"Is that really the point?"

Now this situation had overwhelmed the Divine Angel Beast, and he still had a lot of questions to ask about both, but the conversation between the few people only left his brain confused.

"Oh, oh, you still have such a bad impression of me, but I can guarantee that I always praise women from the bottom of my heart."

Ryder laughed dumbly.

"Although I can't interject in the topic of young people, I just forget the existence of my colleagues when I talk to the beautiful lady, and I am still very sad, uncle, and I almost lost my way."

Li Jianyu and the Guardian Beast walked out of the pillar of light at this time, looking at the young people helplessly.

"Are you Mr. Lee?"

Mina unexpectedly looked at the middle-aged man who walked out of the pillar of light, as a friend of her parents, she had a relationship with him.

"It turned out to be Albaria's precious daughter, it's been a long time."

Li Jianyu smiled gently.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

He nodded lightly and responded politely. Mina asked, staring at the pillar of light that hadn't disappeared yet.

"Is there anyone in the pillar of light who hasn't walked out?"

"Hehe, it's a 'person' who has a lot of fate with you."

At the mention of that 'person', Ryder smiled meaningfully. With the exception of the Guardian Beast's poker face and the unexplained Divine Angelmon, everyone else has the same expression as Ryder.

The pillar of light began to slowly taper and disappear. A tall, thin black figure slowly appeared

"It's this dark breath, yes"

Once again, the Divine Angelmon showed a wary expression, the dark aura he felt was different from the familiar aura of the Hedilummon.

"Mina? You"

Inexplicably, Mina seemed to be attracted to something, and walked alone towards the 'person' who appeared last. He wanted to stop it, but he was surprised to find that Ryder shook his head and motioned for himself not to make his own decisions.

"Hypocrite, don't spoil the atmosphere at this time, although I don't like that guy as much as you do."

The Ledrumon also reminds the Holy Angelmon.

"The two became partners ten years ago."
