Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

Hmm! Digital race name...

"Alright, then Mr. BlackWarGreymon, what would you like to eat?"

The noble pumpkin beast readily changed its form of address, but still added a respectful title, leaving no room for criticism regarding etiquette.

"..."

You might as well call me a guest; it just sounds awkward.

However, Huangfu Future still took a closer look at the menu of the Noble Pumpkin Beast, and then, as expected, Ogre Beast was right; the Noble Pumpkin Beast could only cook one kind of dish.

But······

Is your family only this good at cooking one type of dish...?

Pumpkin fried rice, braised pork with pumpkin, pumpkin burgers, scrambled eggs with pumpkin, stir-fried pumpkin vegetables, pumpkin soup...

All of them are pumpkin dishes.

Besides all being served with pumpkin, almost every type of vegetable has a little bit of it.

You call this one, and everything else tastes bad...

I really don't understand your taste...

Huangfu Weilai glanced at Ogremon, indicating that she didn't understand that kind of luxurious life. In Huangfu Weilai's opinion, as long as it could replenish energy and tasted acceptable, it was basically fine.

So Ogremon is really that picky? I've learned something new...

What's with that look?

Ogremon sensed something was wrong; it was Huangfu Future's gaze that was off. He seemed to be thinking about something inappropriate, but I had no proof.

"No."

Huangfu Weilai turned her head to look at the menu again, ignoring the changes in Ogremon, and selected a few dishes that looked very appealing.

"OK, just a second."

The noble pumpkin beast recorded Huangfu Weilai's request and turned to go into the kitchen to prepare food.

"Hey, noble pumpkin beast, I haven't made my choice yet!"

Ogremon, his face full of black lines, pointed at himself and said.

"Ah~ that."

The noble pumpkin beast turned its head slightly, its eyes, visible through its pumpkin headdress, seemed to hold a hint of disdain.

"I'll prepare the usual dish for you."

Then, ignoring Ogremon's loud shouts, he walked straight into the kitchen.

"Really..."

Ogremon rested its chin on its hand in dissatisfaction and muttered to itself.

Is this how you usually interact?

Huangfu Weilai glanced at Ogremon and asked, "This is really strange. If my companion was this annoying, I would definitely beat him up before considering anything else—no, if my companion was this annoying, whether he could even be a companion would be questionable."

It's the same thing.

After all, Huangfu Weilai knows his own temper. Although he doesn't resort to violence in everything, sometimes violence is a necessary method.

"Occasionally..."

Ogremon turned around and gave Huangfu Future a look. He wasn't usually that annoying, but seeing his old friend again after escaping death made even Ogremon's nature excited, so he started being cheeky.

The.

Unfortunately, Ogremon's eyes are only for the blind.

Huangfu Weilai hadn't yet achieved the tacit understanding with Ogremon that allowed them to communicate simply through their eyes, so—

"What are you?"

"Look at you!"

"Want to fight?"

"come!"

“Huo-da-”

The above is purely for entertainment purposes; the actual situation is:

"Are you having an eye twitch?"

Huangfu Weilai asked coldly.

"...It's nothing serious, just my eyes feel a little uncomfortable."

"That's good, otherwise how will I increase my strength later?"

"..."

A heartless, exploitative tyrant!

In the kitchen on the other side, the noble pumpkin beast hummed an unknown tune, his tone full of joy, clearly in a very good mood, unlike his previous indifferent appearance.

"You actually survived being chased by the Death Beast... Although you paid a price, my old friend, I need to reassess your strength."

The noble pumpkin beast's eyes narrowed.

"Summon our friend? Is that BlackWarGreymon someone who will help you, or... a threat!"

Although he was thinking about other things, the noble pumpkin beast did not slow down his food preparation at all. His hands, which were covered in white gloves, were not stained with any oil and remained pure white.

But one exquisite dish after another appeared, clearly demonstrating that the noble pumpkin beast's culinary skills were not just empty words, but genuine.

"Forget it, no matter what BlackWarGreymon is, we'll have to put aside all our thoughts once our comrades arrive."

During their interactions with Ogremon, Pumpkinmon and Ogremon unknowingly developed a communication, including calling upon their companions. This was something Huangfu Future was unaware of; after all, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly know...

They were aware of this clandestine communication.

Even Huangfu Weilai and his friends didn't have this kind of coded communication method...

"Sir, please have your meal."

The noble pumpkin beast placed the prepared exquisite food on the table, set out the tableware, and spoke softly to Huangfu Weilai. It then sat down at the table itself, clearly intending to join Huangfu Weilai and the others.

Let's have a meal together.

"Do you mind if I come along?"

"..."

You only asked me after you'd already sat down, doesn't that seem a bit fake?

Huangfu Weilai raised an eyebrow and replied matter-of-factly, "I don't mind."

Nonsense, if you were to say you mind at this point, wouldn't that make the other person look bad and lose face?

Huangfu Weilai's emotional intelligence wasn't low enough to offend people in such a situation, and besides, the noble pumpkin beast had always given him a particularly good impression, so he would definitely agree to such a small matter.

and······

"You have something to say, don't you?"

"Sir, you have a discerning eye." The noble pumpkin beast smiled and flattered him without hesitation, then added, "I would like to know a few things."

Looking at Ogremon indicates that they want to get some information from it.

only······

"Does the gentleman mind conversations at the table? If he finds it inappropriate, we can postpone it."

Despite its noble nature, Pumpkinmon is still a Digimon that embodies the spirit of a "gentleman," ultimately considering Huangfu's future feelings.

only······

"It's alright, don't worry about me. Maybe I can fill in some gaps in Ogremon's knowledge that he doesn't know!"

Huangfu Weilai chuckled and replied, "Just kidding. 'No talking while eating'? That doesn't exist!"

It's important to understand that conversations at the dinner table are a time-honored "virtue" for us all. (·°u·)

In any case, Huangfu Weilai rarely sees any serious conversations...

And so...

On the contrary, Huangfu Future and the Noble Pumpkin Beast started talking and got more and more excited, completely forgetting about Ogre Beast.

Because Huangfu Future and the noble pumpkin beast are exchanging cooking tips.

Huangfu Weilai found it very good the moment he tasted it for the first time.

It was so much better than the Digital Wheel (dried food) she ate. However, Huangfu Future, who had her own ideas about cooking, couldn't help but talk to the noble Pumpkinmon about other ways to cook pumpkin.

Originating from Huangfu Future before he became a Digimon, he was confident in his cooking skills and naturally made some delicious snacks himself.

One of the topics Huangfu Weilai is currently discussing with the noble pumpkin beast is how to make pumpkin pancakes.

"This, this is..."

The noble pumpkin's eyes shone brightly, and its whole body began to tremble with excitement. Limited by the development of the Digital World, the noble pumpkin's knowledge of pumpkin preparation was limited to using it to complement other dishes and creating delicious pumpkin dishes.

Melon cuisine.

This almost entirely traditional way of cooking pumpkin was something the noble pumpkin beast had never heard of before, which greatly surprised it.

They immediately began to chat enthusiastically, feeling as if they had known each other for a long time.

Huangfu Future and Noble Pumpkinmon also had a very pleasant conversation. He had thought that his cooking skills would only remain in his memories, but he never expected to be able to exchange experiences with a Digimon like Noble Pumpkinmon who also loved cooking.

Suddenly, I felt an overwhelming urge to share all my culinary experience.

Especially the Noble Pumpkin Beast, whose culinary skills were truly exceptional. After Huangfu Weilai briefly explained how to make pumpkin pancakes, the Noble Pumpkin Beast was even able to come up with better methods, which surprised Huangfu Weilai.

They took it for granted.

Because this is the digital world, culinary skills that were originally impossible become completely different in the digital world.

For example, knife skills. In the real world, people can only cut vegetables slowly; but now, in the digital world, Huangfu Future can already demonstrate knife skills that create afterimages when cutting.

This kind of unscientific behavior is normal in the Digital World, so Huangfu Future's recipes broke with conventional wisdom and gradually incorporated some of the experience of the noble Pumpkinmon.

The same applied to the noble pumpkin beast. Although Huangfu Weilai's method was somewhat strange, the luxuriousness of the recipe was undeniable. He truly had never seen a pumpkin made into so many dishes without being paired with other ingredients.

That's quite an idea... I've learned a lot.

If Huangfu Weilai knew what the noble pumpkin beast was thinking, he would definitely tell him, "This is the recipe book of my great foodie empire! It contains all sorts of unimaginable cooking methods!" Even Huangfu, whose memory had been enhanced by extraordinary means...

In the future, I will not be able to remember the various ways of cooking from the recipes I have seen.

As a result, their communication became even more enthusiastic.

Ogremon: "..."

Um, shouldn't you be here to talk to me about my situation?

Requesting monthly votes and recommendations!

Chapter Thirty-One: The Assembled Companions

bang bang bang-

A knock sounded at the door, and before the noble pumpkin beast, who was the owner, could respond, the person who knocked simply pushed the door open and entered.

First, a powerful, muscular arm appears, followed by a lush green figure carrying a giant axe.

This is a science monster.

Then a mechanical-looking Digimon wearing what looked like a scarf appeared.

This is the Wrestling Volcano Beast.

Upon hearing the door open, Huangfu Weilai and the noble pumpkin beast simultaneously stopped their conversation and turned to look.

Huangfu Weilai watched calmly, while the noble pumpkin beast nodded in a friendly manner, clearly indicating that they knew each other.
