Chapter Seventy-Seven: Masahiro Osawa's Choice; Desert oasis

Women are troublesome creatures, especially sisters, who are more troublesome than ordinary girls

I remember that when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, my mother died in an accident. Soon after, Dad took matters into his own hands and left his young sister at home to be cared for by a nanny, and then went on an adventure somewhere with his so-called friends.

In fact, the nanny is not good at coaxing children except for the children's three meals a day and housework, and her young sister is also at the naughty age. So it is common to make trouble at home, then cry and make a fuss, and be scolded by the nanny. In order to make her settle down, the responsibility of taking care of her sister fell to her brother.

Until my father came back, the hard life of taking care of my sister was not over.

Dad is always so irresponsible, and he has a relatively weak concept of family. Always busy with work and ignoring the feelings of the family, only knowing enough money to meet material needs. Before her mother's death, she was also dissatisfied with her father's attitude towards the family, and there were often heated arguments. Every quarrel is also the fiercest time for my sister to cry, but my parents don't care. In the end, it evolved into himself comforting his crying sister while watching the quarrel between husband and wife

It's really unpleasant to have a troublesome sister

Since he was a child, Masahiro Osawa has never changed this idea. He didn't want to be an older brother at all!

Why can't that idiot ugly girl try harder? Can't dress up, has no friends, likes delusions, and even has a bad personality.

Just because he fell out of love and was dumped by a third-rate man, he gave up on himself and lived in his own world to escape reality! It's because of this kind of nest that it will be more in line with the image of an ugly girl.

Even Jeongho himself hates such a sister.

What's even more hateful is that his head has become abnormal. For three years in a row, I made a lunch box and breakfast and dinner for that idiot ugly girl basically every day.

What the hell is this!? That kind of troublesome woman should move out of the house quickly, and she is already fed up with living with her sister!

Perhaps God really heard Jeongho's heart and fulfilled his wish. In fact, Daddy was fed up with that idiot and ugly girl's self-defeating life and scolded her. In the end, she ran away from home without permission and moved into an apartment.

What a hopeless stupid but, that's fine. I'm finally free, and I don't have to take care of that ugly girl anymore

※※※※※

July has just begun, and Jeongho feels the hustle and bustle around him.

First, he found a suitable apartment for his sister who ran away from home; Then I went to visit my friend from high school who was hospitalized because of the accident, and the kid seemed to be quite frightened, and when he saw him, he began to talk nonsense, saying that a monster had attacked him, and he probably had a confused head; Finally, he participated in a heavy metal rock performance, although it was only a small band, but it was also a little famous, and he was also the main player. All in all, the performance was very successful and the guests enjoyed it. Influenced by the madness of music, the audience at the scene was also extremely high.

By the time the show was over, I noticed that I had already missed the last train.

Everyone also took a taxi back, but Jungho, who paid the expensive rent on behalf of his sister, didn't have that spare money.

I had no choice but to walk home. Luckily, my house is only a few stops away.

Walking alone past midnight, in the dead of night, the busy street is also silent. It's raining heavily tonight. Although the rain stopped at night, there were still traces on the asphalt road.

The sound of water sounded on the wet pavement. Due to the beginning of summer, the temperature tonight is over 30 degrees Celsius. The heat of the night and the humidity of the rain clinging to the skin, making it very uncomfortable.

At some point, a white fog appeared in the dark night sky, and the streets were surrounded by thick fog.

"It's so strange, why is it fogging?"

Jeongho muttered to himself a little confused, there shouldn't be dense fog in a climate like this.

He thought of some urban legend.

Whenever a thick fog appears, a ferocious monster will appear and attack humans. It is said that some people have witnessed the appearance of monsters, but for some reason someone seems to have erased their memories. It's just rumors, anyway

When Jeong-ho stopped thinking and continued to walk forward, suddenly, he saw something in front of him.

“”

He subconsciously stopped, his eyes widened, and he looked stupidly ahead.

A few meters away, a figure wearing samurai armor and holding a katana in his right hand stood there.

The white blade is stained with red markings. The original red armor was even more vivid under the stain of the thing that kept spewing red liquid.

What spewed liquid was none other than the corpse of a young woman

The smell that penetrates the nostrils comes from the sticky smell of blood.

“”

Jeong-ho couldn't make a sound.

Despite his surprise, he didn't scream, but tried to keep his mind clear.

The corpse's head had been severed to a single layer of skin, and was bent backwards. Then, the woman's head had fallen vertically to the ground due to its own weight.

It must have been done by that strange samurai!

The woman's head that fell to the ground had a surprised expression on her face, and her eyes widened as she looked at Jeong-ho. That must have been her last expression before she died.

Holding back the strong feeling of vomiting, Jeong-ho did not dare to face the corpse that had lost his head, and ran desperately in the opposite direction.

Run, run, run! Walking along the dimly lit streets, lit only by street lamps, and navigating through the shadows between tall buildings, I didn't have the strength to look back and confirm, and continued to run desperately.

Discovering new prey, the samurai sneered and chased past.

The speed between the two is like the difference between a human and a monster.

There was a brush, and it was the sound of a knife cutting through the air.

As soon as the calf was hot, something warm like liquid overflowed from the wound. Because the pain is too sharp, it cannot be understood as pain that is commonly felt. The pain was so painful that even the pain was paralyzed.

Puddles on the ground were mixed with red liquid.

With his own blood flowing on the concrete floor, he recognized this, and Zhenghao, who couldn't stand, fell on his back.

"Hmm"

His back hit the concrete floor hard, and Jeongho couldn't help but let out.

The katana held in the hand of the red-armored samurai emitted a chilling glow, and Mashiro shuddered when he saw his true face.

It was not a human form, but a demon with a human form, like a demon from the abyss.

Without the slightest hesitation, the katana in his hand slashed at Masaho's neck.

※※※※※

Digimon are just living beings made up of data. They are beasts that obey the laws of the jungle, and despite their high intelligence, they do not have the moral values of humans.

For those power-hungry beasts, devouring weak humans as prey is a small threat and a big gain.

So, the disappearances that have been going on all the time are related to the beasts. If humanity does not take action to resist, one day, humanity will be wiped out by Digimon.

In order to fight the Digimon, Tomoshi Osawa finally found a way through long-term efforts.

Rescued by Kizzmon, he returns to his father's side and listens to his explanations. It was only then that Mashiro Osawa realized that the killer was really not a human, but a creature called a Digimon.

Accidents with friends, rumors of monsters in the city, and corpses of young women are all the work of Digimon.

My own dad has been researching Digimon since 10 years ago. But there is one thing that is worth his attention

"Hey, Daddy. Mom was killed by Digimon too, wasn't she? ”

"Yes."

"You are also responsible for her death, if you didn't run away because you were afraid of death, Mom might have hope of being saved."

Jeong-ho's tone was a little cold.

"I don't deny it"

Tomoshi's voice was calm, but there was some determination in his eyes.

"Indeed, it was because I was too cowardly in the past that I was powerless to save your mother, Kotoko, and her friends from being killed by Digimon."

"So, for revenge, to make amends for my mistakes, and to save more innocent people from being threatened by Digimon, I have to do something. You may think I'm crazy, and I'll admit that I'm not fit to be your father. However, I don't want your lives to be implicated, especially Akita, who, with her personality, is the most vulnerable to Digimon. ”

"So I agreed to her move to an apartment because I didn't want Yabei to know the nature of your job, right?"

Jeongho understands that his father will not agree to Yabei's boring request so easily, and he also compromises for some purpose.

"So what do I need to do?"

"Forget about today and move on with your normal life."

It seems that Daddy doesn't want to make a difference at all.

"Are you kidding? Knowing so much truth, do you think I'll be willing to continue living a normal life?! ”

Jeong-ho suddenly laughed wickedly, and then shouted angrily at Jishi.

"Seeing someone killed by Digimon made me run away as desperately as you did ten years ago. What is the difference between this and a lost dog! I'm not a wreck! ”

The tragic death of a young woman once again came to his mind, and his sister gradually took her place. Someday, Yabei will be killed by Digimon, right? That idiot and ugly girl will always make decisions because of strange ideas, and it is only a matter of time before she becomes the next target.

His mother has already died because of Digimon, and Jeongho doesn't want his sister to end up like his mother, and he doesn't want to become a dead wreck like his father.

"Daddy, didn't you say you found a way to destroy Digimon? Tell me and I'll help you. ”

"Zhenghao, do you want to die?!"

Seeing Jeong-ho show his determination, Ji-shi begins to regret that he has spoken too much.

"Of course I don't want to die. But, Dad, don't you want someone to help with your plan, and I happen to be a good candidate. I'm a big fan of exciting things, and since it was the Digimon who got us humans in trouble first, of course the humans should fight back. I'm here to help you stand up for justice! ”

That's right, to uphold human justice. He has the same blood as his father, and his father's extreme thoughts are also owned by Zhenghao. So, Jung-ho understands Daddy's thoughts.

Witnessing the death of a human being and experiencing the fear of death, Jeongho soon realizes that Digimon pose a great threat to humans, and DHT's gentle approach is not a cure.

So, Masahiro has been assisting him as his father's assistant, and he is also the first human to become a Digimon.

But fate is often unexpected, and that idiot ugly girl is also a member of DHT, hindering Daddy's plans. It's ridiculous that family relationships have broken down completely and become enemies.

Jeongho's justice has also been hindered because of Yabei, which is really hateful!

My sister is really troublesome

"Be enlightened, ugly girl"

In the ruins, the biochemical Baalmon walked towards the depths with steady steps.

This time, I will never let her escape.

―1―

"It's hot"

Yabei's boring complaints are not unreasonable.

The sun's rays scorched the earth mercilessly, so hot that even the shadows of the rocks standing beside the road were on fire. The heat from the ground is transmitted to the body through the soles of the shoes, making it even more stuffy.

Blame the damn vortex for teleporting itself into the desert.

"Little monster, is there still water? I'm so thirsty."

"Nope."

Because of the harsh environment, the little demon beast, who has always been talkative, replied listlessly to his partner, and the last sip of water had already been drunk.

"It's bad luck, if I walk in the desert without water, I'll die, I'll be roasted dry"

Yabei wants to cry without tears.

"You have to find the oasis first"

Indeed, the desert is definitely not suitable for human life. The only way to survive is to find an oasis where water gushes out often. Even Digimon are scarce in food and the temperature fluctuates drastically, so there aren't many of them in the desert. It can be said that it is the world of death.

"Everyone must have been scattered around, really, D-ark can only find the whereabouts of his partner Digimon but can't show the location of his companion. Who made the D-ark, at least we should have added the function of showing the traces of our companions."

The mood was too depressed, and Yabei kept whining while pressing the D-ark button.

"Where do you go from here? How do you find everyone? Am I going to die in the desert? Damn, there are no cards either. If I continue to stay in the desert, I will get a tan, and I want to have a good Christmas."

"It's noisy! Can't you be quiet?! You idiot. ”

I really couldn't stand the whining Yabei, and the little demon beast scolded her angrily. It's no wonder that an energetic idiot like her would die!

"I don't understand the mood of girls at all, boys are stupid."

Yabei glared at the little demon beast and ignored it.

※※※※※

"I didn't see the oasis at all, the deeper you went, the more barren it became"

With the strong sunlight overhead, Yabei said in a hoarse voice.

"It's hard to imagine this kind of heat"

"Every time you say it's hot, you feel like the temperature has risen a lot."

The little demon beast with more physical strength than Yabei responded in a tired voice, in fact, its lips were also chapped, and every step it took was heavier than usual.

"The little monster must not faint in the desert, it will die"

Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Yabei prostration reminded his partner.

"You're the one, right?"

The little demon beast gave her a blank look.

A man and a beast walked in the desert for nearly three hours.

Despite the harsh environment, it can barely survive in the desert. Although no oasis was found, there were cacti that gushed out a small amount of water, squeezed the juice of the cactus to quench their thirst, and left a mark on it to prevent them from getting lost. It should be considered the basic knowledge of survival in the wild, right? It's just that moving between water strongholds is so physically demanding.

"I'm dying"

Weakly stopped, Yabei narrowed his eyes and looked at the front of the desert.

"Little demon beast, why don't you evolve and take me out of the desert"

"Cut, don't use Uncle Ben as a coolie"

Because of the heat, the little demon beast didn't want to turn back rashly, and said with heavy steps.

"Stingy"

Looking at the little demon beast walking in front, Yabei pouted and continued to move forward.

At this moment, a lovely voice sounded from above. Very familiar, Yabei suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

In mid-air, three elves were looking at her with small black eyes, their mouths smiling.

"Digimon?"

Seeing the cute creatures in the sky, Yabei was stunned at first. I remember that everyone once said that the Digimon are strange beings who guide their destiny.

Could it be that he wants to guide his own destiny?

"Chirp~~~Chirp~~~"

The Digimon flew around the heads of the North and the Monster for a few laps, and then slowly flew in a certain direction as if they were guided.

"Little demon beast, let's keep up!"

My instinct tells me that something good is bound to happen if I follow the DMs' leads. Therefore, Yabei directly pulled the little demon beast to chase in the direction where the Digimon flew away.

"What's wrong?! What are you doing!? ”

The little demon beast was startled by Yabei's behavior and asked in a panic.

"Of course it's chasing the Digital Elves, something good must happen with them."

Yabei Zhenzhen has words.

"Huh?"

※※※※※

It's a tiny oasis with a water source in addition to meadows and a coconut tree.

But for Yabei and the little demon beasts, the oasis of the desert is a heavenly existence.

"Finally found the oasis! I knew it was right to follow the Digimon! ”

Taking off his shoes, Yabei jumped into the water directly with his clothes on, moistening his throat and body to the fullest.

The sun was still shining overhead, but the clear water gushing out of the ground was unexpectedly cold.

"Finally alive"

"Yes, Uncle Ben thought he was dying."

"Hmm."

Yabei and the little demon beast nodded at each other.

"Alright, let's fill the kettle~~"

Yabei, who was in a happy mood, took out the kettle and began to fill it. The three Digimon who guided the two did not fly away, but flew to the coconut tree and watched the pair quietly.

"Speaking of which, why do the Digimons keep looking at us?"

After filling the kettle with water, Yabei felt weird as he watched the Digimon flying on the coconut tree keep staring at him. It always felt like they had some intentions.

"Whatever, Uncle Ben is going to rest. Just don't make any noise with me! ”

The tired little demon beast didn't care about Yabei's concerns at all, but just lay down under the coconut tree and fell asleep.

"You're adapting so fast."

Yabei was a little embarrassed, but he was also tired after walking in the desert for three hours. So you need to rest.

"I'll take a break, too."

After a full rest, one man and one beast finally recovered their spirits. As the two prepare to set off again, the Digimons suddenly fly away from the coconut tree and fly around the head of Yabei again.

"Chirp~~~Chirp~~~"

They seem to be trying to convey a message.

"Do you want us to keep coming with you?"

Yabei seemed to understand the intention.

"Chirp~!"

One of the Digimons nodded.

"Little monster, do you want to continue to follow?"

Before following, Yabei planned to discuss it with his partner.

"That's also your freedom, Uncle Ben can't be the master."

The little demon beast said it didn't matter.

"Okay, lead the way."

Anyway, I don't have a clue right now, so I might as well continue to be guided by the Digi Elves. But Yabei's right eyelid began to jump non-stop, so nothing big was going to happen, right?
