Chapter Ninety-Five: Kaye's Hesitation; Be honest with each other

In this way, Kaye and his party enjoyed this short happy time on Document Island.

Liberated from the usual tension, everyone ushered in the warm morning in the comfortable futon

At noon, everyone had a pleasant time in the founding village.

In the afternoon, after lunch, everyone went to different places on Document Island to do what they thought was meaningful.

In the afternoon, Kaye is asked by the puppetmon to take care of the young Digimon and enjoy the 'fun' of taking care of the children

However, the happy and stable time always flies by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is already dusk the next day.

※※※※※

In the tavern in the Winter Block of the Founding Village, in front of the window on the second floor, Ryder and Kaye sat opposite each other at the table. The duo's partner was not around, but was sent away.

The interior of the store is also a bit old, perhaps because of the afternoon, there are not many customers.

"Ryder, why did you let me come to the tavern?"

Looking around uneasily, Kaye said a little nervously. In fact, it was the first time I had come to the tavern, and for Kaye, the tavern was a place where minors were not allowed to enter. What's more, Kaye's impression of the tavern is just a gathering place for drunks full of alcohol, which is not very popular.

"I just want Kaye to experience the 'adult world' as soon as possible."

Ryder's harmless smile made Kaye even more uneasy.

"The beer in this tavern is good, would Kaye want one?"

"I'm only 15 years old, and Ryder knows that minors are not allowed to drink!"

Grimacing a tense face, Kaye shook his head vigorously

"This is a digital world, and there are no legal constraints in the human world, so don't worry too much."

"That's not okay. You didn't call me over just to have a drink with you? ”

Seeing that the other party was smiling darkly, Kaye wanted to leave the tavern.

"Forget it, it's not good to always 'bully' juniors."

With a look of frustration, Ryder ordered beer and juice.

"Kaye, haven't you made up your mind to tell Yabei about that?"

Picking up a well-poured beer glass and taking a small half drink, Ryder put the beer glass down. He asked, looking directly at Kaye.

"I don't know how to tell the truth to Yabei"

Looking at the untouched sip in the cup, the honey-colored freshly squeezed juice fluctuated slightly, glowing with golden light under the refraction of the sunlight outside the window. After a moment of silence, Kaye voiced his concerns.

"Will she really take my word for it? Or is it because of the abnormality of her family that makes her even more sad?"

"yes, it's too reluctant for you to tell her."

Continuing to take a sip of his beer, Ryder appeared calm.

"Then it's up to me to tell her the truth, it's okay to be scolded by her."

Ryder smiled mischievously, for him, it was just a trivial thing that didn't matter.

But for Kaye, he cares more about Yabei's mood.

"Because of the trial, I saw some of the truth about my father and uncle, and I experienced the truth, and I should tell Yabei in person."

"So, Kaye Kaye, what do you think of Osawa Akita?"

Gulping down the rest of his beer, he said as he looked at Kaye in his concern.

"You and Hedilumon both think that Yabei is strong and can recover from the harsh reality very quickly"

"No, I mean what do you think of her yourself?"

Ryder corrected.

"This"

What do you think of Yabei? Thinking of this, Kaye's expression became even more distressed.

"It's okay, it's a secret between us."

Ryder looked at Kaye, his face softer, but the evil smile on his face remained the same.

"You seem to have misunderstood something"

It can't be a trap, right? Kaye thought to herself.

However, Ryder is indeed a more reliable predecessor. Kaye's concerns still needed to be addressed, so he had to speak up.

"At first, I thought Yabei was a self-centered girl who liked to think crankily, didn't really care about the things around her."

Relieving his nervousness, Kaye took a sip of juice and continued.

"Ever since we became enemies with my uncle, Yabei has always forced a smile on his face"

"I'm just thinking that people think she's strong, but it's just a pretense that maybe she's deliberately pretending to be her 'before' self to escape reality."

Ordering a new beer, Ryder continued to drink it, motioning for Kaye to continue.

"Yabei has always been very concerned about what his family does, and he can't stop his family from making mistakes."

"Do we really know how she feels?"

"Hehe, Kaye is really gentle. You're taking another step into the world of 'adults'~~"

Kaye's words were only exchanged for Ryder's teasing.

"Ryder, please be serious. I'm so distressed right now! ”

The indecent answer made Kaye feel even lower.

"Okay."

Instead of continuing to tease his juniors, Ryder said his thoughts seriously.

"But, Kaye. Do you think your concerns can really help Yabei? Compared with deliberate concealment and sincere confession, which one does Yabei hate more? ”

"Yabei hates to be deceived"

"Her instincts are very accurate, and the more she deliberately conceals it, the more it will be counterproductive."

Looking at Kaye, Ryder chuckled.

"At least, don't underestimate Yabei too much. After all, she was the first junior I fancied, and I naturally believed in her ability. ”

"Seize the time, Kaye."

"Okay, then I'll just have to tell her the truth."

With no choice at all, Kaye had no choice but to make a decision to tell Yabei the truth. After all, time cannot be delayed. The next battle will still be there.

"But thank you for the suggestion, Ryder."

Draining the juice, Kaye stood up. After a brief goodbye to Ryder, he left the tavern.

During the conversation between the two, there was actually a third person sitting in the other seat and listening to their words quietly. Because the tavern was seating, Kaye, who was sitting across from Ryder, would not see another guest sitting on the chair behind Ryder.

"Do you think he'll be able to tell the truth?"

Ryder didn't turn his head and smiled at the 'big lady' who was back to him.

"That's also a private matter between others, and I don't need to govern it."

Mina's voice came from the seat at the back.

"Well, I just hope that the younger generations can become stronger in the cruel reality, after all, the future situation is grim."

"It's not good to have too high expectations of others, and you, as the 'captain', should have the responsibility to guide and care for the juniors. Instead of instigating simple boys to achieve their goals and save them from trouble. ”

"Oh, oh~~ You still think I'm bad."

Ryder spread his hands helplessly, it seems that Mina is very prejudiced against herself.

"Wouldn't it be nice to let them take charge sooner rather than later? After all, I'm still going to leave them. Life is a long life, and I believe that after the future generations have experienced this 'war', they will not have to worry about other hardships in the future. ”

"Overcoming suffering isn't exactly a necessity in life, Ryder"

Picking up the teacup in front of her, her eyes looked at the green planet in the sky outside the window, but her hand gently flicked the heat emitted with the lid Mina muttered thoughtfully.

"It is precisely in order to strive for the so-called 'happiness' that people have no choice but to overcome 'suffering'."

―1―

"Whew, ahhh~~ It's good to feel nature once in a while~~~"

By the lake, sitting on a blanket, Yabei yawned lazily. The little monster beast was lying on its side on the blanket, taking out the dessert from the picnic basket and eating it heavily.

"The sunset is so beautiful."

Looking at the end of the lake, the sunset is like falling into the lake, revealing half of its body flatly, and the golden color is reluctantly sprinkled on the earth. And the surface of the lake was also unconsciously dyed with a layer of yellow

Looking at the sparkling lake, Yabei sighed.

"Cut, what's the sigh of the sunset, I can see it every day anyway."

There is no interest in enjoying the scenery at all, and the little monster beast is still eating snacks.

"You're really out of style."

Yabei Baiyan said, it is really enough to ruin the atmosphere.

"Mood? Uncle Ben is not a troublesome human being, who cares. ”

The little monster didn't care about his partner's resentment at all.

"Boys are stupid"

Don't overdo it, Yabei angrily stopped paying attention to the little demon beast and continued to watch the sunset. Anyway, there's nothing to say about it!

"Ten years ago, my dad also left home in the sunset, and if he hadn't come back, so many nasty things wouldn't have happened"

Grabbing his head with both hands, Yabei only felt a pang of annoyance in his chest.

"That's enough!! I finally enjoyed the holiday, but I still have to think of that bastard daddy!! ”

"Even the seniors dumped me at sunset!! There is no good thing happening at all about Xi ** Ben!! ”

It's almost hysterical, whether it's the dad who left home temporarily ten years ago, or the senior who dumped him a year ago, it all happened under the sunset.

"It's noisy! What are you thinking about again!? ”

Unable to stand the neurotic partner, the little demon beast directly took the picnic basket and left Longyan Lake.

"Alas, no, according to what I thought in my heart, I finally got to this point, but if I go on like this, I can't continue to move forward."

Ignoring the little demon beast that was leaving, Yabei stared at the lake, as if he was talking to it, and as if he was talking to himself.

"My life was terrible when I was a child"

"I really envy everyone, they are always so happy"

"Yabei?"

Just as Yabei was talking to himself, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Huh?"

Yabei turned his head and saw Kaye standing behind him.

"When did you stand behind me?! It's terrible to overhear me talking to myself! ”

"I just came over."

Kaye's expression was very aggrieved, and he was scolded as soon as he came over to greet Yabei.

"You didn't hear what I just said, did you?"

Yabei looked at Kaye with suspicion.

"What's that?"

Completely unaware of what she was talking about. Kaye doesn't know why.

"For the sake of your honesty, I won't bother with you."

With his arms crossed over his chest, Yabei continued.

"By the way, Kaye, do you have something to do with me?"

Slowly approaching, Kaye looked at Yabei with a serious expression.

"Yabei, in fact, I have a very important thing to tell you. It's about"

"Goo"

Swallowing his saliva, Yabei looked at Kaye with a serious expression a little nervously, and his cheeks unexpectedly showed a slight redness. Then interrupt him.

"Didn't I say earlier that I only have the commander in my heart! Kaye wanted to confess to me, so it was useless! You can't replace the commander! ”

"I'm not uncommon to fall in love!"

That's right, in romance novels or romance games, the protagonist will show a serious expression when he confesses to the person he likes. In the past, Yabei also confessed to his seniors with a serious expression

"No, it's not! Yabei, you misunderstood! I don't have that idea! ”

It seemed that he had been misunderstood, and Kaye quickly shook his head and explained.

"Huh? Not a confession? ”

The redness on his cheeks disappeared immediately, and after a moment's pause, Yabei glared at Kaye angrily.

"Why didn't you finish it sooner!? I'm mistaken! ”

"Obviously, you interrupted me."

Kaye had a headache, Yabei always liked to be cranky.

"Okay, tell me what it's about?"

She urged dissatisfiedly.

"Actually, it's something about my uncle"

After a pause, Kaye finally spoke out himself.

Accept the trial from the sage beast --

Through the trial, I personally experienced the experience of Ah Hai and Chishi.

As well as Chishi's true feelings, guilt, and guilt, as well as his strong hatred for Digimon

Perhaps because the hatred in his heart was too strong, his uncle was suddenly taken to a different dimension. Then, the strange door with seven badges engraved on it kept coming out, and black smoke spilled through the cracks. The black mist conveyed a negative message, and all poured into the uncle's body

Maybe it's because of that strange door and the black mist that poured into his uncle's body that he became very extreme, right?

Kaye thinks so, after all, Uncle isn't exactly a bad guy.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Yabei's voice was calm, and she was neither angry nor sad.

"I'm just worried that you won't be able to accept the facts, after all, uncle"

"Do you think I'm useless? Just because of the boring truth that my dad is possessed by an 'evil force', I think I can't accept it? Will it be sad? ”

Kaye's thoughts were shattered by Yabei's words.

"Even if you don't get possessed, Daddy's hatred won't go away, and he will also do extreme things"

Turning his back, Yabei pursed his lips and whispered.

"What you see may just be Daddy's illusion, he's completely hopeless anyway"

"Not really! Yabei! ”

Kaye denied.

"Uncle just wants to protect humanity, but he has done too many wrong things because of extreme ideas"

"But I'd rather believe that it was the door that made my uncle bad, and if I found a way, I would definitely be able to restore my uncle to his original appearance! Because human nature is intrinsically good! ”

"And what do you think Daddy used to look like!? Why are you so sure!? ”

Turning around abruptly, Yabei glared at Kaye and said angrily. His naivety made Yabei angry.

"Just because Daddy and your Dad are close friends and take very good care of you?! Or is his extreme behavior out of the human standpoint, and he just needs to correct his mistakes?! You don't think Daddy is a bad person?! ”

"I didn't mean that, I just thought that there was still hope for my uncle to be saved."

Thinking back to the trial, Kaye believes that Dad's best friend can be redeemed.

"Besides, your uncle is your father, as a daughter, you must hope that he can stop making mistakes, right? I believe my uncle has always cared about his family. He would not abandon his family for the sake of extreme ideals. ”

"So what's it to hurt each other? I know that I will be sad, but I still deliberately ignore my mood and continue to take revenge meaninglessly."

Yabei felt very unwilling, why was it his own family? ! Shouldn't the so-called bad people have no family and can do bad things without any worries? I have a family, but I never cherish it! Whether it's my brother or my father, they don't actually have the concept of family at all! And what do they represent?! It just makes things worse.

"I don't want to be enemies with my family at all, if I don't fight them, it's like escapism"

"Only this, I can't escape"

"Yabei"

What kind of words should be spoken? Kaye was hesitant, he wasn't good with words.

However, this is not a battle for Yabei alone, and everyone is also trying to stop his uncle for different reasons.

"Yabei, cheer up, you may think that my words are very self-righteous, but everyone thinks that you are a strong girl. What's more, it's not your wish to stop your uncle alone, whether it's Ryder or Mina, they both want to stop your uncle for their own reasons. Me too."

"Uncle is Dad's best friend, and if Dad is still alive, he definitely won't want Uncle to continue to go astray. For Dad's sake, of course I'm going to stop it. ”

Kaye awkwardly comforted Kia North.

"And everybody cares a lot about your mood. I hope that Yabei will also notice everyone's concern for you, because you are a member of DHT and an indispensable companion for us. So, we will take responsibility with you."

(I don't know who is more like a stupid person)

Watching Kaye clumsily comfort himself, if he loses his temper with him willfully, it is really unusual.

"Huh, Kaye"

Yabei, who had calmed down, looked at him awkwardly.

"If it's really because the 'evil power' of the 'door' lodges in Daddy's body and makes him bad. If the 'evil force' is driven out of his body, will Daddy be whitewashed? ”

"I think it's possible."

Kaye didn't dare to fully guarantee it.

"But I believe that my uncle's nature is not bad, and he still retains a good side."

"Maybe"

In addition to his father, in fact, his brother's prejudice also made Yabei very concerned. So, how can you change your brother's mind?

Yabei's heart was full of sorrow.
