Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

She had a bold idea.

·

Meanwhile, at the home of Grandpamon and Grandmamon, since there was no epic battle between DarkBattlemon and MetalKentamon, nor the earth-shattering clash between 'Bo-Bo Box' and 'Kenta Smoke', the farewell between Kato Juri and Leomon was much more normal.

However, the old man and the old woman were very reluctant to part with the guests they had finally managed to get.

Although there was no absurdity between the tamer and the Digimon with their roles reversed, both Grandpamon and Grandmamon wanted to keep Kato Juri and her group there for a few more nights.

Of course, their coercion was limited to the level of ordinary roughhousing.

In the end, all they could do was say goodbye and leave.

Meanwhile, as the strong winds arrived, Makino Ruki and her group used their large kites to take off and leave the Valley of Strong Winds.

They were grateful for the hospitality of the grandfather and grandmother beasts, but they still had a purpose to fulfill, so they had to leave as soon as possible.

ps: There will be more later

Chapter Seventy: The Final Encounter

A large, crudely made kite was flying in the sky like a plane crash.

The five people on the kite were Makino Ruki and the others who had left Strong Wind Valley. Now that they were no longer propelled by the strong wind, they were gradually falling to the ground.

However, one of the members on the kite is a witch beast who is proficient in 'wind program magic', so their fate of falling will be postponed.

"Gale..."

The witch beast weakly chanted the name of its attack, trying to give the kite, which was about to fall, a final push.

"Hang in there, Witchmon," Renamon encouraged from the side.

"That's easy for you to say..." the witch beast said, turning her head away, and then fell silent.

She was too tired and had no energy left to fight with the fox spirit.

After leaving the Valley of Strong Winds, they planned to glide and land when the wind died down.

As a result, perhaps because they left in the wrong direction, although they left Strong Wind Valley, they fell into a huge canyon with no landing point.

Looking at the seemingly bottomless canyon, they wisely decided not to land down into it.

Thus, the witch beast, who possessed 'wind program magic', was entrusted with this important task.

Even the Witch Beast, with its complete potential, felt completely drained after using 'Gale' dozens of times.

Her only goal now is to get to the other side of the canyon as quickly as possible, otherwise she will be exhausted.

"Hang in there, Witchmon." Makino Ruki repeated the words that Renamon had said.

Actually, if it's simply a matter of using the power of 'wind' to make a kite fly, Makino Ruki does have cards that allow Renamon to gain that power.

But now that she was on the kite, with her hands gripping the handles made of driftwood, she simply didn't have any extra hands to switch cards.

Similarly, if the fox beast wanted to stay on the kite, it wouldn't be able to free its hands.

"We're almost there," said Leomon.

Upon hearing this, the witch beast's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt her exhausted body surge with power again, so she decisively unleashed another 'Gale' behind her.

The powerful push-back sensation signifies that the kite has taken another significant step forward.

"We're here." Kato Juri exclaimed in surprise. What lay below them was no longer a bottomless canyon, but rather solid-looking land.

"Let's land." Leomon understood Witchmon's burden. After seeing the ground and estimating the altitude to be manageable, Leomon decisively let go, allowing himself to fall freely.

“Liu Ji”.

"it is good."

As soon as the fox beast spoke, Makino Ruki immediately understood. She then let go of the handlebars, and the fox beast immediately hugged her, and the two landed together.

"Tch, little girl, come here."

Although it wasn't said, the remaining Kato Juri and the witch beast knew it was time for her to make her move.

Without waiting for Kato Juri's response, the witch beast let go of her and hugged her, dragging her down, causing her to scream. But soon the witch beast's broom was taken out, and they landed more safely by flying.

Where is this place?

"I don't know, but the color of the ground is very similar to the color we first came to in the Digital World. Perhaps we are in the area of ​​that red desert."

"That's what the fox-like beast said."

"Anyway, let's get out of that canyon first. It's giving me a psychological trauma." The witch beast turned back with lingering fear, looking at the canyon behind her. Who would believe that she, who could fly, almost failed to fly over that canyon?

"Witch Beast, are you alright?" Makino Ruki asked with concern. After all, she had only just recovered from a serious illness and hadn't rested for long. She was now being drained of energy again, and Makino Ruki seriously worried that Witch Beast might not be able to take it and might die.

"Still alive." The witch beast hadn't guessed what Makino Ruki was thinking, but her mental state was indeed not so good.

After confirming that the witch beast was unharmed, the group determined their direction and continued on their way.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, they confirmed that this place was the red desert where they had first landed, and they successfully found the beast tamer's flag left by Matsuda Hiroto.

“Finding the flag left by Takato is a good thing, it means we have returned to where we were supposed to land, but now how do we find Takato and the others?” Makino Ruki crossed her arms and thought hard.

"I don't know," the witch beasts replied, as they did not have any means of finding their companions.

Of the five, Makino Ruki and Kato Juri are humans and can be directly excluded. Witchmon is a Demon-type Digimon. Although she is proficient in wizard-type magic, she does not have the ability to find people within the scope of her proficiency.

Renamon is a fox, so it's useless. Leomon is good at fighting, but it's not good at finding people either.

In conclusion, none of the five women possessed the ability to act as assassins or conduct reconnaissance.

"If only Guilmon were here," Kato Juri sighed.

Having played with Guilmon, she knew all too well that Guilmon possessed an extraordinary sense of smell, an ability that allowed him to find his target for a period of time before the scent dissipated.

Whether searching for enemies or allies, this ability can be demonstrated exceptionally well.

"A Doberman might work too."

Makino Ruki suddenly spoke up. It was because of Kato Juri's reminder that she remembered that during the battle with Orochimon, Guilmon had been able to dig down into the subway station to support them by smelling the scent of Digimon and themselves from the ground.

Speaking of smell, although it's unclear why Guilmon, with its dragon genes and reptilian nature, is so sensitive, Dobermon, as a species with a sense of smell, surely wouldn't be any worse than Guilmon.

With these thoughts in mind, Makino Ruki's train of thought successfully went astray.

“Waiting like this isn’t going to work, so why don’t we take the initiative to search…” Thinking that staying in the same place was pointless, Leomon was about to suggest the actions of Makino Ruki from the original story when a voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Um, are you Guilmon's companions?"

"Gilmon?" ×5

"Who are you?" Makino Ruki asked bluntly from the ground where the voice came from.

"Um, I'm Hedgehogmon." A somewhat goofy-looking hedgehog emerged from the ground. "Gilmon asked us to find his companions."

"Looks like I'm lucky; I managed to ambush you." The hedgehog beast said with a hint of pride, seemingly feeling superior that he had found his target while his kin were busy running around.

After a brief exchange, the group confirmed that they were all the people they were looking for. The Hedgehog then led Makino Ruki and her group back to their 'Hedgehog Nest'.

Until they met Matsuda Hiroto and the others, the group, who had been separated since before they even landed in the Digital World, finally reunited.

Chapter 71 The Officially Announced Witch Beast

Both sides were overjoyed to be reunited, after all, they had fully experienced the dangers of the digital world during their few days apart.

Especially Makino Ruki and her group, they almost had a disaster at the Ghost Market.

Now that we've reunited with our comrades, we can concentrate everyone's fighting strength. The sense of security that comes with this is something that a small team alone can't match.

Matsuda Hiroto expressed his gratitude to the hedgehog beast that brought back Makino Ruki and her group, and then everyone went to the hedgehog's den where the giant hard-haired beast had given them temporary accommodation.

Like other hedgehog nests, it had a cone-shaped roof made of wooden planks, with a floor covered with weeds.

Although the floor was made of weeds, it didn't feel dry or hard; instead, it was soft and comfortable, so at least Matsuda Keito and the other humans wouldn't feel too uncomfortable lying down.

In this small but perfectly sized hedgehog den that could accommodate all the animal trainers, both sides were exchanging information about what had happened since they parted ways.

Matsuda Hiroto shared the dangers he encountered in the Red Desert, his meeting with Akiyama Ryo, his battle with the Giant Hard Hair Beast, and how he ultimately triumphed and gained the Giant Hard Hair Beast's help.

Finally, they successfully located Makino Ruki and the others.

Makino Ruki also recounts the crisis she encountered in the Ghost Market, the evolution of Leomon, the friendship between Papamon and Papamon, and finally, she rode a kite to leave the Valley of Strong Winds and eventually found the place where Matsuda Takato left the flag.

At this point, Makino Ruki couldn't help but praise Matsuda Hiroto for doing a good deed.

Of course, none of these were as shocking as Leomon evolving into Ultimate Fighting Leomon.

"So, all the tamers we've brought to the Digital World now possess the power of the Ultimate level?" Hirokazu Shiota said.

Kenta Kitagawa pushed up his glasses and said, "Grooolmon, Velocimon, Priestmon, Salubimon, LadyDevimon, FightingLeomon... It's true, they all possess Ultimate-level power..."

As they talked, Kitagawa Kenta involuntarily looked at Shiota Hirokazu, who happened to be looking at Kitagawa Kenta at the same time. The two looked at each other for a few moments, then suddenly hugged each other and wailed:

"You are not only trainers with partner Digimon, but you can all evolve to Ultimate level. Now we are the only ones left without partner Digimon. When will we be able to stand up again?!"

"Exactly! Why can't we ever find a Digimon that can be our partner?"

"Um... Hirokazu, Kenta." Matsuda Keito looked at his two friends hugging and groaning, a helpless expression on his face. "Becoming a beast tamer can't be forced; it probably requires fate..."

"Now that you've arrived in the Digital World, I'm sure you'll be able to find your partner Digimon here," Li Jianliang comforted him.

"Oh dear, although I can evolve to my ultimate form, it's not because of the Beastmaster's power," the witch beast said meaningfully, a sly glint in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, the quick-witted Hirokazu Shiota immediately realized that there were five tamers present, but six Digimon, because Witchmon had always evolved to the Ultimate level on her own, and she was the only one who evolved freely without a partner.

So, Hirokazu Shiota had a bold idea, and without hesitation, he abandoned his friend Kenta and acted alone: ​​"Witchmon, please become my partner Digimon."

“矣?”×n

Everyone was surprised by this sudden request, which sounded like a confession. Only the witch beast remained calm; rather, it was more accurate to say she orchestrated this outcome, perhaps for… entertainment?

"That Hirokazu..." Matsuda Keito looked at Shiota Hirokazu with a mixture of hesitation and longing.

Although the Witch Beasts do not openly have a tamer, they all secretly acknowledge that the Witch Beasts' partner is Makino Ruki.

Because not only does the witch beast live in Makino Ruki's house, but it also follows Makino Ruki around, and the fox beast has not clearly rejected it, the relationship between the three of them is beyond that of ordinary friends.

If it weren't for the Arc Light Machine's one-to-one binding effect, they would have no doubt that the witch beast that had been following Makino Ruki would become her partner.

"Unfortunately, Witchmon is not suitable." The cold rejection did not come from Witchmon, but from Makino Ruki.

The aloof and cool girl glared at the witch beast, seemingly knowing it was a prank, then looked at Hirokazu Shiota: "She is also my Digimon."

As she spoke, Makino Ruki's cheeks flushed slightly. The three of them had basically tacitly agreed to this matter, but saying it in public was another matter entirely.

"How could this be? Ruki, didn't you have the Fox Beast?" Hirokazu Shiota seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow, but he still pointed at the Fox Beast unwillingly.

"Renamon is also my partner Digimon."

"I have no objection to Witchmon's statement." Renamon's expression remained unchanged.

Upon hearing of this attack, which was comparable to a double critical hit, Hirokazu Shiota dejectedly went to a corner of the hedgehog's den, silently squatted down with his knees drawn up to his chest, his eyes vacant, and muttering things like, "What do you mean a tamer can only have one Digimon?" and "Two is too cheating."

Kenta Kitagawa, who also didn't have a Digimon, could only go and comfort his friend, even though the friend seemed to be thinking of sneaking away.

Meanwhile, Matsuda Keito, who was also a friend of Shiota Hirokazu, could only awkwardly smile and try to smooth things over for his friend, assuring him that he meant no harm...

"Of course I know."

Makino Ruki stamped her foot impatiently. This scene, which resembled an official announcement, made the awkward girl extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't help but think of the culprit behind this farce. Looking at the other party's gleeful expression as they watched the drama unfold, her anger rose. She couldn't help but glare at the witch beast again, her eyes conveying a clear warning.

The witch beast playfully stuck out its tongue and raised its hands in a 'surrender' gesture, as if to indicate that it would no longer play pranks.

Hirokazu Shiota's request was just a minor incident; aside from revealing that Ruki Makino actually had two partner Digimon, it didn't cause them any loss.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that Hirokazu Shiota became a helpful ally, making the relationship between Makino Ruki and the other two more harmonious.

The meeting, in which they chatted, did not end with Hirokazu Shiota's incident. After sharing their experiences after parting ways, they continued to talk about their plans, such as how to find the Ancient Beast.

They only realized how much time had passed when the hedgehog brought them the fruit, and only then did they end their conversation.

Makino Ruki and Kato Juri enjoyed the fruit with relish. Although it wasn't as good as the old lady beast's cooking, the cool and refreshing fruit had its own unique flavor.
