Taichi: My Digimon is V-dramon

Chapter 5. Don't Run to the Demon King's Castle at the Beginning of the Game
As night fell, Taichi placed the firewood aside, and Zeromaru spit out a ball of flame from his mouth, and a bonfire that could provide lighting and warmth was completed.

Taiyi hugged his knees, and the orange flames reflected in his pupils.

"Are all Digimon unable to communicate?"

Zeromaru blinked, "I'm a Digimon too."

"That's right." Taichi shook his head. They were both Digimon, and Zeromaru was an extremely aggressive type. Even he could communicate with him and they could even become partners. It didn't make sense that all the other Digimon were just reckless men who only knew how to yell f2a.

At this moment, the sea dragon beast lying on the side pretending to be a corpse suddenly let out a painful cry and stood up again.

"Do you still want to fight?" Taiyi immediately stood up from the fire, took a step back and protected Lingmaru in front of him.

But beyond their expectations, a black gear suddenly flew out of Seadramon's throat.

The black gear shattered in mid-air, turning into a pile of powder that slowly drifted away with the wind.

Taichi and Remaru looked at each other in confusion. They couldn't understand how such a thing could be inside Seadramon's body.

Looking at the green smoke that came out when the black gear shattered, it was probably because this thing was originally inside Seadramon and was forced out by the high temperature damage from Zeromaru's V-arrow's breath.

As the black gears left Seadramon's body, the scarlet color in his eyes faded, revealing clear pupils underneath.

Seadramon leaned down and, under Zeromaru's vigilant gaze, stretched out its mouth towards Taichi.

"Still want to fight?"

Seeing that the other party actually bypassed him and wanted to attack Taichi directly, Zeromaru immediately flexed his muscles, wanting to teach the other party a lesson again.

As if the memory of Zeromaru's violent attack was still preserved in his mind, Seadramon reflexively retracted his neck and trembled visibly.

"A Ling, wait a moment."

Taichi noticed this keenly, so he called Zeromaru back behind him, and then under his vigilant gaze, he slowly approached Seadramon.

Seadramon stuck out its tongue, which smelled of barbecue, and licked Taichi.

Perhaps due to its ultimate move, Ice Arrow, Seadramon's tongue had cooled down and was now icy cool. It licked Taichi's body, allowing him to once again experience the comfort of air conditioning in this hot summer.

Taiyi couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Seadramon's movements were very gentle. He stretched out his tail and slapped Taichi's face, just like Taichi's family kitten playing with him.

"Hahaha, you are acting like a spoiled child with me."

Taichi rubbed Seadramon's head.

Considering the differences in Seadramon's behavior before and after, Taichi boldly guessed that it was the black gear that affected Seadramon's habits.

"So, the previous Digimon was also affected by the black gear?" Zeromaru guessed.

Taiyi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe part of it is true, but part of it is just pure recklessness."

"Seadramon, do you know where those black gears came from?" Taichi asked. He felt that the black gears, which were obviously evil things, might have some connection with his coming to the Digital World.

After all, isn’t that what classic comics are all about? The brave are summoned to another world just to defeat the evil villain.

Seadramon blinked, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

He only remembered that he was once a mature fish, quietly dwelling in the lake. His greatest joy was to nibble on the buttocks of the occasional Abbymon, who came to electrocute fish. One day, a sudden ripple appeared on the calm surface of the lake. Thinking it was Abbymon again, he swam towards the surface with his mouth open, only to collide head-on with a black gear that broke through the water and swallowed it.

After this, Seadramon was like being locked in a dark hut. He still had feelings and could see everything happening in the outside world, but he could not control his body until Taichi and Zeromaru forced the black gear out of his body.

Now the clues that had just been found were cut off, but Taiyi instinctively felt that the gear flew out from the mountain in the center of the island.

There was no reason, just the gloomy atmosphere, the dark clouds on the mountainside, and the occasional lightning, it looked like the place where the final boss would be.

Seeing Taichi staring at the direction of Infinite Mountain, Zeromaru asked, "Are we going there next?"

Taiyi hesitated and shook his head.

"Let's stick to our original plan and explore the surrounding area."

When playing games, Taiyi likes to complete the surrounding side quests first, reach the highest level, and have the confidence to say "I will win" before clearing the main quest. In short, he is a sword god of Shilipo.

If he went directly to the mountain, it would be a bit like Link who just unlocked the basic ability of the slate, got the paraglider, and went directly to the castle to save the princess.

It’s not worth the money to rush through it!

"Anyway, let's take a break here today."

"Dudu."

Coincidentally, at this moment, the sound of a car horn was heard from the side.

Taiyi turned his head and saw that on the other side of the lake, there was a tram that had gone off the track.

Looking at the train that looked out of place in the surroundings, Taiyi grumbled, "I'm actually getting used to this feeling of dissonance."

Riding on Seadramon, Taichi arrived at the other side of the lake and boarded the train.

As soon as I boarded the train, the lights in the carriage automatically lit up, just like the telephone booth at the seaside.

If you rest here, you can block the wind and the soft cushions can be used as a bed, which is much more comfortable than sleeping in the wild.

At this time, Seadramon called out, and when Taichi and Zeromaru looked back, he flapped his tail and slapped out more than a dozen fish from the lake.

This amazing efficiency immediately caught Lingmaru's attention.

He was originally dissatisfied with Seadramon's behavior of trying to please Taichi, but now he just hugged Taichi's legs and said, "Let's raise him, okay, okay~"

Looking at Zeromaru and Seadramon's eager gazes, Taichi hesitated.

But in the end, he decided to let Seadramon stay in the lake.

Not to mention that Taiyi himself didn't know how dangerous the enemies he would encounter in the future. Given the living habits of Seadramon, he was unable to adapt to the extreme environments such as the desert and snowfield that Taiyi saw when he observed Fayilu Island before.

But he also promised Seadramon that he would come back to see him after he finished his business.

So, Taichi and Zeromaru spent the first night of their adventure on the train. The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the two got up and left under the watchful eyes of Seadramon.

Looking at Taichi's receding back, Seadramon silently made up his mind that he would evolve into a powerful Digimon that could carry Taichi anywhere.
