Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

"Click..."

As the Axe Mantis was pacified, the space-time rift in the sky twisted strangely, swallowed up the surrounding energy again, then closed into a line and disappeared into the air.

"Success!"

"I didn't expect that Xiao Guang is quite capable."

Watching the disappearing energy mist and the clear sky again, Zhu Bei couldn't stop smiling. At this point, she really trusted Xiao Guang a little bit in her heart.

The Axe-Splitting Mantis that sent out the stone slab turned around and jumped, disappearing among the mountains and forests. No one knew where it went. Perhaps it had always been in the Giant Tree King's Field.

"water!"

Xiao Guang, who was about to leave, saw that the water otter at his feet was still alert, with its little eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, as if there was something terrifying lurking around them.

"What's wrong, Water Otter? Didn't the Axe Mantis leave? Even if it didn't, it's normal now, don't worry."

Xiaoguang didn't care. He patted the otter's head softly to comfort it.

"water?"

The water otter shook off Xiaoguang's hand and looked suspiciously for a while, but found nothing and his face was full of confusion.

Am I overthinking it?

The water otter didn't think twice before following Hikaru out of the royal arena and towards the people who came to greet them.

"Well done, Team Galaxy Hikaru, thank you very much for this time."

Zhubei and Kikui were the first to walk out and shook hands with Xiaoguang to express their gratitude.

"You're welcome, Chief Zhubei. Senior Kikui, this is what I should do!"

Xiaoguang responded politely.

If you want to thank someone, you should show some sincerity...

Xiao Guang said this secretly, his face still filled with that innocent and sunny smile.

Anyway, each one was more stingy than the other. Their words of thanks became more and more polite, while the only gesture they made was a handshake.

"Uh... If you're fine, I'll leave first. I still need to help the doctor collect illustrations."

Since there was no benefit to be gained, Xiaoguang was too lazy to bother with these people. He turned around and linked arms with the doctor who was already prepared, and left.

"...Xiao Guang, who is on the other side of the space-time rift, what kind of person are you?"

The business exchanges between Zhubei and Xiaoguang did not help Zhubei understand Xiaoguang better, but instead added some doubts to her.

Zhubei put away her smiling face and waved to Kikui.

"Prepare some props and send them to Team Galaxy, and have them pass them on to Xiaoguang."

If you hadn't told me, how could I not have seen it? You held our hands and talked with us for more than ten minutes, you just wanted to get paid. You are a member of the Pearl Team, and you can't be without yours. But you should at least wait until we get back. Who is a good person who carries so many things with him? !

Zhubei secretly complained, made a face in the direction where Xiaoguang left, and left alone. As for Kikui, she naturally stayed in the royal field to continue taking care of the Axe Mantis.

After solving the problem of the royal field, the protagonist Xiaoguang continued his adventure in the other world. Under the guidance of the doctor, he started a long journey of collecting Pokémon in the Obsidian Fields.

Well... under the doctor's research requirements, Xiaoguang has to capture Pokémon in every form and with different physical conditions including height and weight.

Although Xiaoguang protested many times, his protests were ineffective and rejected by the professor. Then, this kind of part-time job task appeared inexplicably on his mobile phone. Xiaoguang had no choice but to level up while capturing new Pokémon as partners.

Of course, there is also the underground py trade where you capture extra Pokémon and give them to the professor in exchange for coins~

……

"Go ahead! Great Sword Demon!"

Xiaoguang, who has grown a little taller and whose face has become more mature through constant adventures and battles, lowered the hat on his head and commanded the Cuihua Great Sword Demon, which had grown into its final form, to attack!

A four-legged sea beast with blue-black armor, pale beard and twisted horns. This is the Jade Washing Great Sword Demon, whose temperament is completely different from the Great Sword Demon of the future! !

Their opponent is a giant dog with flames all over its body and black hair like clouds!

Golden light surrounded his body like sharp thorns, but his huge body burst out with incomparable speed and agility!

Like dancing, it bared its flaming fangs and bit the greatsword demon fiercely!

The Great Sword Demon was not at all panicked. He quickly mobilized all the energy in his body. In this environment filled with fire energy, he absorbed the few remaining water-attribute energies, wrapped them around his horns, and transformed them into thicker spiral horns.

Use your limbs!

The Great Sword Demon is like a swordsman with superb sword skills, wielding his sharp horns and fighting back and forth with the Wind Speed ​​Hound!

While fighting, Xiaoguang would occasionally find the right opportunity to throw out the Zhenbao, and in the dazzling light mist, he would weaken Windy Dog's ability little by little until Windy Dog regained its will and calmed down.

"Ahoa!!" (Thank you, human!)

Shaking his still confused head, the tiger-like Windspeed looked at the short Xiaoguang at his feet, and grinned in a slightly ferocious manner.

"Ah~ As you should! We benefit a lot from being able to fight with a Pokémon as strong as you!"

"Crack!"

Xiaoguang patted the armor on the Great Sword Demon's feet, making a crisp metallic sound.

The Great Sword Ghost lowered his head and gently pushed Xiao Guang's hand away, then raised his head to show that he was the dignified Xi Cui Great Sword Ghost!

A terrifying existence blessed by evil!

Give me some face.

After accepting the Fireball Slate given by Arcanine, Hikaru officially ended his journey to pacify the third king.

……

Time flies so fast. It’s gone in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, the sun and the moon rotated, the stars changed, Xiaoguang defeated three violent kings one after another, gained a lot of experience points, and the water otter also gradually became a great sword ghost. (This form should be the most handsome of the three starter families. Anyway, I chose the great sword ghost when playing the game.)

Xiaoguang has also grown from being ignorant at the beginning to being a formal member of the investigation team. He is also surrounded by a group of new Pokémon and his strength has been greatly enhanced.

Of course, he still couldn't avoid the tragic fate of continuing to work for the PhD.

……

Zhuqing Village.

"Miyata Akatsuki!!"

"This is the nth time this month! Why are you so confused during the mission again!?"

Galaxy team first floor.

A tall and strong man with a beard covering half of his face was madly attacking Miyata Xiao, who was lowering his head like a bird in front of him.

It’s just because Miyata Xiao’s performance in their group is really hard to talk about.

Since the Axe Mantis incident, space-time cracks have appeared from time to time in the sky, causing the two kings to go berserk, and also causing wild Pokémon in many areas to go berserk and wreak havoc everywhere. Even with the help of other wild Pokémon, the Galactic team is still too busy to do anything.

In order to deal with more and more emergencies, Magamu had to set up a new group, called Investigation Group 2. However, although the number of groups increased, there were still the same number of people, and it was simply impossible to get enough people together. What should he do?

Magamu looked around and finally had to turn his attention back to Miyata Xiao, the one who no one was willing to carry out the mission with.

Anyway, Bai Yu was running outside every day, under the pretext of investigation, but actually just traveling, so Magamu borrowed Miyata Xiao from Bai Yu to work part-time in the second investigation team.

Adding more people is a good idea, but the leader of Group 2 strongly said, "Don't start yet!"

For some reason, Miyata Xiao had been in a daze more and more often in the past two months. In the past, at least he was still clear-headed during the battle, and his brain was sharper than that of ordinary team members. But now... when the attack was three meters in front of him, he was lucky to be able to react...

It was also to protect the frequently dazed Miyata Xiao that the members of Group 2 were injured many times and the progress of the mission was very slow, which made the leader of Group 2 very angry. However, due to the mysterious team leader Bai Di behind Miyata Xiao, who even Magamu dared not to offend, the leader of Group 2 could only hold his anger towards Miyata Xiao in his stomach on weekdays.

This month marks the second month since Bai Yi left Zhuqing Village to go out for "investigation". Two months of absence has led many people to secretly speculate where Bai Yi has gone.

It doesn't matter where he went. Now that the person who backed him up is gone, the leader of Group 2 finally vented his anger and scolded Miyata Xiao.

"I'm sorry, Team Leader."

Miyata Xiao looked ashamed, she didn't know what was happening to her body. She was fine one second, and the next moment she felt confused as if she was dreaming. Her body felt like it was lying in a cotton-like whirlpool, she felt weak and unable to leave this place.

"Forget it, forget it... You should go back and rest first. As for the next mission... you can handle the logistics."

After the team leader scolded, his expression instantly became tired. He knew that there must be something wrong with Miyata Xiao's body, but the doctor could not find out what it was. It was not a solution to keep going like this. The mission was difficult to complete, and the serious injuries of the team members weighed down the newly appointed team leader little by little. He had to find an outlet to vent.

"Yes...Team Leader..."

Miyata Xiao lowered her head, not knowing how she walked out of the Galaxy Team. She only knew that the environment was flickering, and soil and bricks appeared alternately under her feet.

Maybe he has walked a long way, or maybe he has only walked a dozen meters.

Time has never passed so slowly, and even the air seemed like a quagmire.

As he walked, Miyata Xiao came to a corner of the village where there was a two-story open-air building.

Miyata Xiao didn't look at the road, but climbed up skillfully, hugged his knees and buried his head in the darkness.

Night had fallen, but I didn't even notice it, for as far as I could see, it was already dark.

clatter……

tread……

The sound of water dripping? Or footsteps?

"The scenery here is nice. How did you find such a good place?"

A familiar voice came from beside me, light and windy.

"what……"

A person suddenly appeared beside him, which scared Miyata Xiao. After all, this place was an abandoned building long ago, and few people in Zhuqing Village knew about it, let alone come here.

"Bai... Team Leader Bai Yi?"

The person who came was none other than Bai Yi who had disappeared for two months. The only difference was that Bai Yi was now in tattered clothes, and the cloak he was wearing was full of tears. Even through the small hole, Miyata Xiao saw that Bai Yi's arm was tightly wrapped in an ochre bandage.

"Are you... injured?"

"Oh? You are perceptive now."

On the way here, Bai Di had already heard about Miyata Xiao's performance during this period, otherwise he would not have come here on purpose.

"This was a long time ago. I just wasn't bothered to remove the bandages."

"Don't talk about me, talk about you. How have you been recently? Why did you think of coming here to watch the stars?"

Bai Yi also sat down and looked up at the starry sky that didn't exist.

"Can't sleep..."

"I see."

Can’t sleep? Can’t fall asleep from day to night?

Bai Yi did not expose the other party, but just sat quietly.

Perhaps, it was the presence of another person beside him that broke the originally silent sadness. Miyata Xiao raised his head slightly, and in the dim light, Bai Yi saw a flash of tears, looking at him.

"Captain Bai Yi... am I really useless..."

Miyata Xiao's voice was almost choked, but was forced back.

She has not been a member of the Galaxy team for long, but she has always been disliked by her teammates, like a ball, being kicked back and forth between the groups. No one wants to bring along someone who may hinder the mission at any time. Even in logistics, no one wants to encounter a dazed guy who can't find the right direction when they need logistical supplies or off-field assistance.

Miyata Akatsuki had heard people talking about her background behind her back many times. After all, such a "special person" should leave a place like the Galaxy Team, even if it was better to open a shop on the street than to stay here. It was hard not to doubt whether Miyata Akatsuki had some special background, which caused all the team leaders to only complain and not kick her out of the Galaxy Team.

Miyata Akatsuki didn't know what the truth was. She only knew that in her memory, all the previous memories about her parents had disappeared, and she was left alone, being brought to the Galaxy team by Boss Magamu to become a small member.

"Yeah, you sure are useless."

Bai Yu's affirmative words interrupted Miyata Xiao's memories. She was stunned for a moment and tears welled up in her eyes.

The reason why Miyata Akira asked Bai Yi this question was because Bai Yi was the only one who had never disliked Miyata Akira. When Miyata Akira became a member of Bai Yi's team and followed Bai Yi around to investigate, Bai Yi never said anything even when Miyata Akira was confused.

She still held a glimmer of hope in her heart. She wanted Bai Yi to deny it, even if he would scold her later for saying that.

But... even Team Leader Bai Yi thinks I'm useless...

"If you deny yourself, who do you want to recognize you?"

Bai Di did not try to comfort Miyata Xiao. He changed his position to make himself more comfortable and spoke slowly.

Comfort? No, what Miyata Xiao needed was never comfort, but recognition, recognition that she was still desirable even though she was confused!

There can be many sources of such recognition, but the first one must be herself!

"I……"

Miyata Xiao's tears stopped abruptly, and he looked at himself, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I don't know how to comfort people, and you don't need my comfort."

Bai Yi looked at the sky and suddenly stood up.

"So what do I need?"

Miyata Xiao seemed to be stupid, looking at Bai Yi with lifeless eyes, but Bai Yi saw a hint of longing in those eyes, just like a person who was lost in the darkness, longing for an unknown light in the distance!

"What you need is to go back and have a good sleep now, and report to the store tomorrow. I'm still short of staff, why would you go to the investigation team?"

Bai Di shook his head, turned around and was about to leave. When he passed by Miyata Xiao, his broad palm gently patted Miyata Xiao's head. The slight warmth made Miyata Xiao's eyes clear again.

"Yes! Team Leader Shiratsu!"

Miyata Xiao stood up suddenly, and bowed to Bai Yi while staggering with his body paralyzed!

The meaning of life?

It is never obtained from other people's mouths.

Only what you approve of is your life.
