Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

Sleipmon nodded in response, and then the blizzard that enveloped the surroundings expanded further, completely turning the area below the real-world sphere into his domain. Any bubbles that floated into the domain would face a vicious cycle of being frozen and then falling.

Then, Sleipmon raised his Holy Crossbow and aimed directly at the Emperor Demon Split in the White Tiger Sanctuary below. He himself might need to hover here to guard the gate, but he wouldn't need to fire his arrows.

"Let me do what I can," Sleipmon said calmly.

Immediately—arrows rained down!

Chapter 108 A Peaceful Daily Life

"Daisy, how are the children!" At this moment, Li Jianliang's father, Li Zhenyu, anxiously asked the blonde woman operating the computer.

This woman, whose online name is Daisy and whose real name is unknown, is the person in the original story who was responsible for designing the ark used to escape from the digital world and later Grani.

“I’m trying to reconnect with the children now.” Daisy typed rapidly on her keyboard, while also replying to her old friend, “Don’t worry, I’ll try to persuade the children again.”

“Jianliang, and how can the children be so willful…” Li Zhenyu sighed.

Previously, when Matsuda Keito told Li Zhenyu over the communicator that they did not need the Ark to return to the real world, Li Zhenyu's composure almost collapsed.

In their minds, the Ark was the only means of transportation that could take the children away from the digital world.

But I was rejected...

If Yamaki Mitsuhiro hadn't held Li Zhenyu back, he might have really snatched the communicator and questioned the children.

"Don't worry, since they rejected Project Ark, they might have other ways to come back," Li Zhenyu's old friend, a bald man with glasses, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Babel..."

“Since they rejected the Ark, it means they will be back soon; Xiao Feng, immediately notify the ambulance and fire truck, and be ready to receive the children at any time.” Yamaki Mitsuo began to instruct Feng Lihua on her work.

"Also, Onodera, go and inform the children's families and tell them to go with the fire truck as well."

"Yes." Feng Lihua and Onodera Megumi, who were both from the Intelligence Bureau and subordinates of Yamaki Mitsuo, responded simultaneously.

"Found it!" Suddenly, a blond man, whose real name was Rob McCoy and online name was Dolphin, started typing on a keyboard. He caught the sound of the animal trainers returning to the real world.

"The children? Where are they?!" Li Zhenyu reacted instantly and asked.

"Toyama Park in Shinjuku." Dalfin typed on the keyboard, finally pinpointing the location.

"Let's act immediately," Mitsuo Yamaki said.

Beep beep!!!

Immediately, a series of sirens blared, leading everyone to the place where the children had returned.

......

Somewhere in Toyama Park, a white light suddenly rose from the ground.

Finally, in the vast expanse of white, the animal trainers emerged.

"I'm back." Matsuda Hiroto smiled as he looked at the familiar scenery around him.

“It’s like going abroad for a trip and then returning home,” Hirokazu Shiota said.

"Have you ever been abroad?" Kenta Kitagawa asked.

"How could that be!"

"How do you know what it feels like to return home after going abroad?"

"Doesn't it seem so? We went from the real world to the digital world, and then back to the real world. I not only went abroad, I went to other worlds!"

That's just making excuses!

Watching the two playfully bickering, Matsuda Hiroto couldn't help but smile and sigh, "They both have so much energy."

“Indeed,” Li Jianliang said with a smile.

"Don't wait~" the big-eared beast said in a cute voice.

“Let’s go back. Mom and Grandma are probably waiting for us.” Makino Ruki said with a smile.

“Then let’s part ways here,” the witch beast said, taking out a broom, clearly intending to fly away.

"Wait, it sounds like something is approaching." The big-eared beast twitched its ears and spoke.

“It’s the sound of police sirens,” Li Jianliang replied, “and they’re getting close.”

"Ah! Are they going to arrest us?" Hirokazu Shiota instinctively hugged Andromon.

"It's alright, Bohe, I'll protect you and blow them all to smithereens," Andromon comforted his tamer.

"This won't do, it'll be illegal and you'll get arrested!" Hirokazu Shiota hurriedly said to Andromon, who lacked common sense.

“Oh…it’s Mr. Yamaki.” Matsuda Hiroto looked at the message coming through the communicator. “And everyone’s family members have arrived and are on the fire truck now.”

"What?" ×N

"Ahem, let's wait a bit then." The witch beast calmly put away her broom.

Finally, following the location of the communicator, Mitsuo Yamaki found the animal trainers.

At the same time, the children's families were also brought to their side, and the scene became very warm.

Furthermore, since Kato Juri had not lost Leomon at this time, her eyes still had a bright light.

Therefore, Matsuda Hiroto was no longer worried about the other person's condition and offered to take him home.

When it was time to part, the animal trainers simply said goodbye and went home to rest.

Because someone was already blocking the gates to the real world, the Emperor Demon did not invade the real world quickly this time, ultimately resulting in the lockdown of Shinjuku.

So, thanks to someone, Matsuda Hiroto and his group had a wonderful night's rest.

The next day, Matsuda Takato got up as usual, but this time his room was no longer his own; it was now occupied by Guilmon.

Having already confessed to his parents, he promptly brought Guilmon home.

"It's been a long time since I've woken up the next day to see Guilmon directly," Matsuda Hiroto said with a smile, recalling how carefully he had hidden Guilmon in his house after Guilmon's first birth.

Back then, my mother even misunderstood and thought I had picked up stray cats, dogs, or other small animals and brought them home.

"I wonder how Alice is doing." Matsuda Keito looked at a wall in his room. He knew that the opposite wall was Huangfu Mirai's house.

Alice, who was supposed to return to Huangfu Weilai's home, was taken away by her grandfather.

That scene left a deep impression on Matsuda Hiroto.

The seemingly composed man named Rob McCoy burst into tears upon seeing Alice, then hugged her tightly and wept uncontrollably.

The scene was like a reunion after a life-or-death separation.

If Matsuda Keito hadn't known the 'truth' and understood that Alice had simply run away from home after a conflict with her grandfather, he might have genuinely believed that Alice had experienced some major life-or-death event with her family.

Ultimately, because of Rob McCoy's presence, Alice did not return here with Takato Matsuda's family.

However, Matsuda Keito was not worried about Alice's safety. In his opinion, resolving the conflict with her family was Alice's most important thing right now.

"But I suddenly feel so relaxed," Matsuda Hiroto murmured.

"Gilmon bread..." At that moment, Guilmon started talking in its sleep.

“Okay, let’s make Guilmon bread today.” Hearing this, Matsuda Takato smiled, and even though he knew Guilmon was just talking in its sleep, he still replied gently.

Chapter 109 Breaking the Routine

Before long, Matsuda Takato got up to wash and get ready, and Guilmon was also woken up.

Since Guilmon's existence had already been revealed to his parents, Matsuda Takato felt exceptionally comfortable having Guilmon at home.

"Can I have Guilmon bread today?" Guilmon asked innocently, looking at Matsuda Hiroto who was washing up.

"Of course," Matsuda Hiroto mumbled as he brushed his teeth.

"Not only today, but from now on we can eat Guilmon bread." Matsuda Takato spat out the water he used to rinse his mouth and said clearly.

Guilmon is now a member of the family, so it's perfectly fine for him to live here.

However, I still have to consider what other people think, so I can only hide in the store.

If they really want to play together, they'll probably have to go back to Toyama Park, where Guilmon used to stay.

"Bread...bread...Gilmon bread..." Guilmon shouted excitedly like a child, completely belying its Ultimate form's ruthless and decisive nature.

"Qi Ren!"

Suddenly, Matsuda Keito's father, Matsuda Takehiro, shouted at his son.

"What's wrong?"

Seemingly sensing the anxiety in his father's tone, Matsuda Hiroto quickly responded.

“Let’s take Guilmon with us and leave home,” Matsuda Takehiro said.

"Huh? Why!" Matsuda Hiroto asked.

"It seems something has spread in Shinjuku Ward and is seriously affecting residents. We have no choice but to lock down Shinjuku Ward now," Matsuda Takehiro said, adding again, "Go upstairs and pack your things now; we're leaving Shinjuku Ward soon."

After saying that, Matsuda Takehiro hurriedly left.

"What on earth happened...?"

"What's wrong, Qiren?"

"N-nothing. By the way, we need to hurry up and pack our luggage in our room."

"But it's Guilty Bread..."

"We'll have to wait a bit longer, hurry up and come up."

Watching Matsuda Takato's retreating figure as he ran up to the second floor, Guilmon sighed and then followed closely behind.

"What exactly is that thing...?"

Having arrived in Shinjuku, Mitsuo Yamaki, dressed in a suit and tie, unusually took off his sunglasses and picked up binoculars to explore the distant scenery.

It was a collection of gelatinous substances that had already eroded Shinjuku.

In the Digital World, it has an official name—Emperor of Retribution!

"Report, the surrounding residents have been evacuated." Suddenly, a strong voice came from the side.

That was a member of the Self-Defense Forces.

At this moment, because of such a significant incident in Shinjuku Ward, the national authorities have been alerted and have begun to dispatch the Self-Defense Forces to retaliate.

"Yoshi."

A Self-Defense Force commander nodded in satisfaction and then began issuing a series of orders.

Soon, the surrounding soldiers and armored vehicles were arranged and moved according to his will.

"Mr. Yamaki, please come this way," the Self-Defense Forces commander said to Mitsuo Yamaki.

“Okay.” Mitsuo Yamaki nodded, put his sunglasses back on, and followed the commander into an armored vehicle.

At this moment, the back of this specially modified armored vehicle is filled with various electronic devices.

"Target locked, start countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5..." The operator of the electronic equipment fiddled with the equipment and called out the count.

After the countdown ended, as the operator pressed the button and uttered "Fire!", the entire armored vehicle shuddered.

On the outside of the armored vehicle, a specially modified missile is launched.

The missile, trailing a long power line, crossed the isolation zone and struck the gelatinous substance directly.

At the front of the missile is a detection camera that transmits live footage to a screen inside the armored vehicle via a wire connection.

"Tsk..."

Looking at the blurry screen, at the corroded buildings, and at the horrific state inside the gelatinous substance, Yamaki Mitsuo clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. At the same time, he habitually took out a lighter and began his usual 'on and off' operation.

"What on earth is this thing?!" Mitsuo Yamaki said, somewhat annoyed.

"Forehead…"

Suddenly, a purplish-red, gelatinous substance appeared on the screen, and it began to erode from the periphery to the center. Eventually, the screen went completely black, and the image could no longer transmit any useful information.
