Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

"How can it be!"

"...I knew it." The Foxmon's eye twitched; this was clearly an attempt to increase his burden! His dual identity as both a tamer and an Omegamon X was firmly pressing down on him, leaving him no room to resist...

"Just think of it as getting used to it in advance!" Huangfu Weilai said with a smile.

"Adapt in advance...?" The Fox Beast was dumbfounded again. But a terrifying thought flashed through its mind—"Sell me!"

"That's right. When you go back, your job will be the same as the Golden Armored Dragon Beast's: taking care of kids."

"Wait, I'll say something..."

"After all—! Having suffered a devastating catastrophe like the destruction of the World Tree, the Digital World's population has yet to recover. In this respect, the Royal Knights are indeed needed."

"Help!" Huangfu Weilai forcefully interrupted the fox beast before it could finish speaking, adding an explanation as he went along.

"..."

"So, Royal Knight, Eight-Legged Horse Beast, you...can't escape your future fate of raising children. Consider this a good start to getting used to it..." This was Huangfu Weilai's order.

告。

"..." Although no words were spoken, the background of the Fox-like Beast seemed to suddenly turn into a heavy black.

The future is fraught with hardship, persecution continues...

When morning arrived, while Huangfu Weilai was getting up and leaving with Guanhumon, Matsuda Keito had already gone to school, and Guilmon was probably hidden in some corner of an alley.

So, should we go find Guilmon and prevent that "plot" scene from happening?

No, no!

That was a turning point in the relationship between Guilmon and Matsuda Takato, and Huangfu Future wouldn't be so clueless as to stop it.

Kujira: Actually, you just want to watch the show, don't you? (；--一)

Huangfu Weilai: Hehe~ (@＞＜)☆

Huangfu's future target is someone else. After all, he has already met Matsuda Keito and Makino Ruki, so he naturally wants to see the remaining one as well.

In a sense, they are even "fellow villagers"!

Although they're not on the same "sphere," and even different species now...

but···.··

His name still gave Huangfu Weilai a sense of familiarity, not to mention the added advantage of his identity as the second male lead, a beast tamer.

Therefore, putting aside his green-tinted hair and the fact that he was the most rational of the three animal trainers, Huangfu Weilai actually had a rather favorable impression of him...

P.S.: That's all~

Chapter Twenty-One: The Meeting of the Three

Li Jianliang is a classmate of Matsuda Keito in the same grade but different classes. He is also a child of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, and his partner is Big-eared Beast.

Because he had many siblings, he developed a well-rounded personality.

In a Digimon game, he obtained a materialized Terriermon and became a tamer.

Because she had seen Terriermon go 'out of control' after evolving, she has always hated Digimon battles and thus suppressed the fighting instincts of her partner Digimon.

Strictly speaking, among the three beast tamers, Li Jianliang was the first to enable the Big-eared Beast to evolve into its adult form.

"Another beast tamer. Is there anything special about him?" The fox-like beast said casually, glancing at Li Jianliang, who was talking to Matsuda Takato by the teaching building.

“...just a stubborn child,” Huangfu Weilai replied.

Indeed, in Huangfu Weilai's eyes, Li Jianliang was just an awkward 'child'!

On one hand, she longs to become companions with Digimon, but on the other hand, she loathes the battles between Digimon.

This kid...

They must have been terrified by Terriermon's nemesis, King Kong...

Watching Li Jianliang and Matsuda Keito's conversation, Matsuda Keito eventually left with tears in his eyes.

"Aren't you going to comfort Matsuda-kun?" the Kitsune asked, after all... he was already crying!

"No need, this is just a step in their closer relationship." Huangfu Weilai sensed the Guilmon on the rooftop and glanced at Li Jianliang before speaking with a faint smile.

and…

“I do care about them now,” Huangfu Weilai said leisurely, looking at Li Jianliang.

Big-eared beast...

Needless to say, just by looking at the other person's face, Huangfu Weilai could subconsciously equate it with the black-eared beast of the Golden Armor Dragon Beast...

And Li Jianliang...

To be honest, the other party's relationship with Huangfu Weilai was based solely on Huangfu Weilai's first impression, stemming from the recognition of their names!

In reality, Li Jianliang doesn't know Huangfu Weilai at all.

Although the name is indeed familiar, Li Jianliang, who was born in Japan, naturally has a high degree of recognition of this place, even though he is fluent in Japanese, Chinese and English.

Of course, Huangfu Weilai wasn't being discriminatory; he simply wanted to see the other person, just like going to the zoo to see an animal that only appears on a screen—it was just something novel!

"That's really bad luck, to have you keeping an eye on me..." The Fox Beast glanced at Huangfu Weilai and muttered to itself.

After spending this time together, the Fox Beast has come to see through Huangfu Future.

Putting aside matters of principle, Huangfu Weilai is just a 'lazy bum'! He's a lazy bum, and that's how he came to be!

If he could stay at home his whole life, he probably wouldn't go out at all.

Of course, although he is this type of "lazy bum", Huangfu Future is different from the otaku in their region.

After all, the sight of that pile of trash filling the room is something not everyone can manage...

"Let's go," Huangfu Weilai suddenly said.

"What? Aren't you going to see him?" the fox-like beast asked, puzzled.

"I only intend to check them out; I don't necessarily need to meet them now. Besides... the timing isn't right!" Huangfu Weilai smiled enigmatically, his mind already preoccupied with the meeting of the three beast tamers.

If I were to add myself to the situation... it would be quite interesting.

“…”

The fox-like beast shuddered inexplicably, as if realizing something. It couldn't help but look at Li Jianliang with a sympathetic gaze. Being targeted by Huangfu Weilai, he was probably going to be in big trouble!

Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Weilai and Guanhushou left the school, ignoring the budding beast tamer duo embracing on the rooftop, and also paying no attention to Li Jianliang who was about to leave.

He planned to go for a walk before the three of them met.

Although he had been living near the Matsuda family's house for almost a month, he had not yet gone shopping near the elementary school.

Now that we're out here, let's take this opportunity to go for a walk with the Foxmon.

Anyway, I have nothing better to do...

"Looks like I'll have to find a place for Guilmon to stay later..." Matsuda Takato sighed, looking at Guilmon beside him.

Hmm... They're in a crowded place right now, and Guilmon isn't equipped with the cardboard box he uses to 'invisibility,' but the people around them aren't looking at the monster with any special gaze.

Ultimately, they're treating Guilmon like some human dressed in a mascot costume.

Therefore, it merely cast a few curious glances at the 'strange' Guilmon before hurriedly leaving.

After all, Japanese office workers are a bunch of corporate slaves. They're lucky if they can have a few drinks with their colleagues after get off work instead of working overtime. They don't have that much free time to investigate Guilmon's 'mascot costume'.

And so, Guilmon got away with it by sheer luck.

until

"Woo woo woo!" Guilmon's pupils suddenly shrank, and its entire body began to bend down, adopting a wild beast pouncing on its prey. This was Guilmon's fighting stance, triggered by the scent of a Digimon, which aroused its bestial instincts.

"What's wrong? Guilmon!" Matsuda Takato looked at Guilmon with some panic. He had actually seen this scene before. On the night Guilmon first came to his house, Guilmon, for some reason, got up in the middle of the night and...

He adopted a wary posture, like a ferocious beast, and looked out the window, as if... something was happening that he didn't know about.

And now... it's happening again!

The next moment, Guilmon ignored its tamer's calls and ran away in the form of a 'Tyrannosaurus Rex'.

"Kilmon—!"

Matsuda Keito cried out in bewilderment, then followed after them.

Then came the scene that everyone was happy to see.

The meeting between Matsuda Hiroto and Makino Ruki.

Subsequently, the two, who disagreed, indeed started fighting.

The real reason was that Makino Ruki wanted to fight, while Renamon was loyal and followed orders; Guilmon, driven by its bestial nature, would also fight according to its instincts, but Matsuda Takato's reason was unknown.

Cuo stood still, then tried to use his human body to interfere with the Digimon's battle.

Of course, his main target for interference was Guilmon, since that was his partner Digimon.

Ultimately, this farcical battle ended in failure due to the intervention of a third party—Li Jianliang.

What followed was a clash of ideas between Makino Ruki and Li Jianliang. One believed that the meaning of Digimon's existence was to fight, while the other believed that Digimon should not be forced to fight, as they were companions of humans...

Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together!

That refers to the two of them.

However, in reality, Huangfu Weilai felt that the two of them were too 'extreme'.

Their viewpoints are like a straight line, with each person occupying one end, completely oblivious to the concept of taking a middle position.

Just as Makino Ryuki was about to leave, Huangfu Mirai appeared.

after all……

As some have said, isn't it perfectly normal for the Dark Masters to have a fifth one?

In other words, isn't it perfectly reasonable for a fourth person to be present during a meeting between the three?

In short, Huangfu Weilai himself felt there was nothing wrong with it!

P.S.: That's all~

PS2: I know the recent chapters have been a bit weak, since I haven't had much time to write, so I can only fill in the gaps for now. Also, a quick announcement: I have exams tomorrow and the day after, so I'll be taking a two-day break.

Okay! I'll post a separate chapter explaining this tomorrow. (·^·)

Chapter Twenty-Two Separation

"It's you!"

Seeing Huangfu Future suddenly appear out of nowhere not far away, Makino Ryuki was startled. She still remembered the man who had defeated her.

"it's me."

Huangfu Weilai smiled and nodded to Makino Ryuki, while also casually waving to Matsuda Keito, who was not far away.

"Future older brother?!?"

Li Jianliang didn't react much. Although the appearance of another animal trainer was indeed surprising..., Matsuda Takato, who was standing not far from him, was a different story.

Matsuda Keito quite liked Kofu Mirai, this friendly pigeon who was also a frequent customer who bought bread from his house.

Turns out, this big pigeon... seems to be an animal trainer!

Looking at the fox-like beast on Huangfu Future's shoulder, Matsuda Takato thought to himself.

"What are you doing here? Do you want to fight?!" Looking at Huangfu Weilai, Makino Ryuki's calm face seemed to turn colder as she silently reached into her card pocket and asked indifferently.

At the same time, the fox spirit that was behind Makino Ruki silently walked in front of her and looked at the fox spirit warily.

"No, no, no, I'm not here to fight, I'm just here to lend a hand..." Huangfu Weilai said with a faint smile, then looked at Guilmon, who seemed to still be driven by its bestial instincts, and Matsuda Takato, who was looking at him nervously.

“Gilmon and Takato.” After saying that, Huangfu Mirai looked at Makino Ruki again and said, “You should know very well that you can’t defeat me if you don’t turn ‘bonds’ into power.”

"Humph……"

Upon hearing this, Makino Ruki did not refute, but merely gave a haughty snort before turning and leaving, along with the fox spirit.

"Heh, what a proud... no, a strong-willed little girl!" Huangfu Weilai smiled to herself.
