Chapter 11: Agumon's Self-Blame

"Click......"

After the burning branch broke, a small piece of red-hot charcoal popped out of the fire and fell to the ground, and the faint smell of burning pulled Aoyagi's thoughts back from her memories.

Lift your feet and stomp on the charcoal to avoid the serious consequences that may arise from a little sloppiness.

Then Aoyagi looked at the carp that had been baked, and felt that his mouth was already secreting saliva uncontrollably, and even his stomach began to growl.

After a week of gnawing on the fruit, I finally ate the meat.

Aoyagi picked up a grilled fish, walked some distance forward, and shouted towards the river, "Agumon, it's almost time. ”

"You...... First...... Eat ......"

The head of the Agumon floated up and down on the surface of the river for a while, chasing a fish around the carp king without stopping, with the meaning of not catching it and not going ashore.

Standing still and waiting for it for a while, he saw it appear directly in front of the fish after a snorkel, and after successfully biting it, Aoyagi blew hot air and gently took a bite of the grilled fish.

A meaty aroma gradually filled the mouth, and the scorched outside and tender taste on the inside stimulated the appetite, and a few bites in a row wiped out a third of the fish.

The only fly in the ointment is that there are a little too many fish bones, and you can't eat meat unscrupulously, and you must carefully pick out the fish bones in every bite.

However, compared to the previous "Wild Fruit Banquet", it is now very good.

In other words, the Agumon seems to swallow the fish whole, and it doesn't seem to have the trouble of picking thorns, and Aoyagi can't help but envy its digestive system.

Thinking of this, Aoyagi returned to the fire, ready to reach out to grab the carp grilled next to him, so as to avoid the taste from deteriorating after being roasted too dry, but this time he reached out and found that something was wrong.

Agumon had caught a total of four fish before and after, one of which was in his own hand, and it stands to reason that three were roasting.

But now, there are only two left......

Someone took it?

No, if there were people around, he wouldn't have been able to find out.

"In other words, nine times out of ten, it's a Pokémon..."

Aoyagi's expression instantly became solemn.

Being able to get up and greet the Agumon just now, and now come back to steal a grilled fish in just a few minutes, shows that the other party is likely to be staring at him for a long time, and finally take advantage of this opportunity to attack.

Is it the smoke of the twig burning or the smell of the grilled fish that came over confidently? Or are you eyeing yourself or Agumon?

Aoyagi doesn't know, but in such a short period of time, theoretically speaking, the other party shouldn't have gone far.

It is necessary to find it as soon as possible, confirm the information and the intention to rest assured, otherwise no one can guarantee that nothing else will happen to the other party after stealing the fish.

Dare to steal fish today, dare to kill tomorrow.

All hidden dangers must be strangled in the cradle.

Aoyagi quickly opened the panel, and in a blue light curtain that only he could see, he began to search for information about all the Pokémon in the vicinity.

But to Aoyagi's surprise, after he looked around, the panel didn't react at all, and not even a Pokémon was found.

"Is it so fast to escape......

Aoyagi was silent for a moment, and after beckoning to the Agumon, he grabbed the remaining two grilled fish, took the initiative to approach the edge of the forest, and circled the belt, trying to shorten the distance between himself and the other party to see if he would find anything.

But there is always only one string of ellipses jumping on the panel, and nothing else is displayed.

This made Aoyagi's originally relaxed mood instantly become heavy.

Agumon came to him at this time, biting a fish in his mouth, and said vaguely, "Aoyagi, what's wrong?" What are you doing here? ”

"A Pokémon just stole a grilled fish."

"What ?!!"

At the mention of eating, the Agumon suddenly became excited.

It took a lot of effort to catch it, to repay Aoyagi for filling its stomach, and if there was any leftover, it would also want to taste it, but now it has been stolen?

Swallowing the fish in its mouth in one gulp, and throwing it directly to the ground in his hand, Agumon quickly said, "Quick, tell me where it is, I'll go and grab the grilled fish back." ”

"I should have run away, and I didn't even find any trace of the other party's escape."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the Agumon looked at the forest unwillingly.

It was very dissatisfied with the other party's stealing of food, but according to what Aoyagi had learned about it in the past half a day, it was obvious that there was really no clue if he said so.

And it has survived alone in the digital world for so long, so it naturally knows that the danger factor of the forest at night has skyrocketed, and there is no need to take risks, let alone without any clues.

"It's okay, only one was stolen, and the rest is enough to eat."

Aoyagi calmed Agumon a little as he handed over a grilled fish.

"You probably haven't eaten grilled fish yet, so let's try it."

Agumon took the grilled fish, but instead of eating it like before, he stared at it.

It had just thought of a serious problem.

If I had just heard that Aoyagi had asked him to go back to eat the grilled fish, he would have left immediately and not stayed in the water, and maybe the grilled fish would not have been stolen.

And...... The most important thing is that the other party only stole the fish, and did not make a sneak attack or take the initiative to attack Aoyagi or anything like that.

Otherwise, Agumon wouldn't dare to think about the accident with his friend that he had so hard acquainted with.

It does care a lot about what it eats, but it cares more about its friends than about what it eats, even if it's just a very important friend who has not known him for a day.

When the fish is gone, you can catch it again, and if the friend is gone, it is really gone.

For this, Agumon felt deep remorse, and even the grilled fish that he put to his mouth was no longer fragrant.

Aoyagi had been quietly watching the fish holding it motionless, and its expression was obviously not normal.

In addition to fighting, the Agumon behaved a little nervously most of the time, or lacked heart, but I didn't expect to be unexpectedly a little sensitive in this kind of thing.

This reminded him of the fact that Yagami Taichi's subgumon had "evolved by mistake" into a zombie tyrannosaurmon for the first time in Digimon, and because of its too violent and powerful power, it hurt its companions after losing control, and he had a knot in his heart for a while.

This is not good news.

There may be a big difference between the two things, but there are many examples of the backlog of psychological problems eventually leading to quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes.

Especially in the modern era before the time travel, this phenomenon has become more and more serious, and we must pay attention to it.

Aoyagi slowly crouched down in front of the Agumon and reached out to pat it on the shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself, you didn't do anything wrong, it was me who let my guard down because I wanted to rely on your strength, this is my personal problem, I should apologize to you, I shouldn't ......"

Before Aoyagi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Agumon.

"No, you're my most important friend, putting you in a dangerous place, and for whatever reason, I should apologize to you."

Aoyagi looked at the stubborn Agumon who was looking straight into his eyes with some surprise.

After a brief moment of silence, Aoyagi lowered her head and gently pressed it against the forehead of the Agumon.

"It's because I'm friends that I don't want to use your power."

Hearing this, the Agumon immediately wanted to interrupt again, but was held up by Aoyagi's hand in advance, interrupting the spell casting.

"So, we both have problems in this matter, so we don't have to worry about who is right and who is wrong, I'll count to three, and if you don't speak, I'll let you agree."

As Aoyagi began to count, he silently pressed his shoulder against its chin, and pressed his right hand its chin, directly cutting off the right of the Agumon to speak.

"Three."

"Two."

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

Sensing the growing power of the Agumon's mouth, Aoyagi simply gave up blocking its speech and let go directly.

At this moment, a picture suddenly flashed in Aoyagi's mind. It says that the best way to make the cat stop barking at you is to plug its throat with your fingers while it barks.

Then, the moment the Agumon opened its mouth to speak, Aoyagi directly put his hand into its mouth with lightning speed.

"Woo! Whining! ”
