Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

"whispering sound."

A triangular-shaped Pokémon with a pointed head and a cloak staggered past Miyata Xiao, glanced at her blankly, and then staggered away.

"..."

Mother... I have seen this not-so-wise snow boy three times...

Miyata Akira knew that he might have been going around in circles in this maze, but what could he do? His mother insisted on bringing him here and would not give up no matter what.

Still refusing to admit that he has a bad sense of direction...

"Strange... The direction I sensed is right here, why can't I get out?"

After walking around like this for a while, Miyata Xiao was already feeling a little uncomfortable due to the cold, so his mother stopped giving instructions.

"Then I can only try this..."

The mother pondered for a while and murmured to herself.

"What is it, mother?"

"Wait a minute, just do as I say."

The mother's tone was icy, even colder than the cave, but to Miyata Akira's ears, it was the last chill before spring came, and it was all for her own good.

Miyata Xiao sat on the ground, and according to his mother's instructions, he gradually relaxed his mind, and his body became weak as if he was in deep sleep. It was at this moment that the dark golden energy flowed out from his chest spine little by little, like a hand, slowly touching Miyata Xiao's whole body!

"Uh……"

Itchy, so itchy...

The energy flows through every crevice in his bones, and the pain is no more unbearable than that of a thousand ants gnawing at your heart.

But Miyata Xiao couldn't move. The control of her body was no longer in her hands, but in the hands of the mother she had never met!

She could only endure it, and the words she wanted to say remained stagnant in her heart.

Mother...I feel so bad...

No matter how uncomfortable his body was, Miyata Akira never thought of asking his mother to stop.

For too long, her heart, which had never received motherly love, was like a dry land. Even if it was met with violent storms and floods, she would accept them with joy.

The energy flowed through Miyata Akatsuki's body, torturing Miyata Akatsuki's heart, from the inside out.

After a while, Miyata Xiao's consciousness began to blur, and the cries in his heart turned into whispers, and the energy finally stopped.

"In my name, I command you, the very first, to deploy a magic circle that leads to the future!"

The mother's voice awakened Miyata Xiao's sleeping soul. He raised his eyes slightly and saw the dazzling dark gold light turning into a sharp sword and moving forward, breaking through all the ice walls and stone walls that blocked the way.

"What are you still standing there for? Follow me!"

"Ahhh...Yes! Mother!"

Miyata Xiao propped up his slightly stiff body, endured the discomfort of the blackness in front of his eyes, squinted his eyes and followed the lightsaber that never stopped.

The long sword cut through everything, scaring the wild Pokémon around and causing them to leave the place one after another. They watched Gong Tianxiao following the lightsaber from afar. Some of the braver ones quietly followed, wanting to know what was going on.

The ice field is a repetitive landscape. Boredom has been lingering in the hearts of these Pokémon who have lived there for who knows how many years. Now that something different has appeared, they naturally follow it, consciously forming a long queue, staggering like a mother duck taking her babies out.

"...I hope it goes well."

My mother's voice was low and inconspicuous amid the noise behind her.

Through the sensing of energy, she could see that the real hunter was hidden in the torrent behind her. If she were still alive, she would not care, but unfortunately she was just a consciousness now.

This trip must be successful!!

The lightsaber did not fly very fast. Miyata Xiao walked slowly for more than ten minutes and finally stopped in a huge ice cave. The lightsaber finally burst into light, almost blinding Miyata Xiao and sealing the entrance to the cave.

"Haw?"

"Tsk?"

Outside the cave, the Pokémon that had just recovered from the flash looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. How could the human who had been following them disappear out of thin air?

The barrier formed by the lightsaber merged with the cave, and looked no different from a normal ice wall from the outside. These simple-minded Pokémon did not notice anything wrong.

"Roar……"

The giant beast hanging far away in the team growled, glanced at the ice wall with fierce eyes, and chose not to act.

"What is this, mother?"

"It feels so familiar."

Looking at the huge weapon stuck upside down in the ice in front of him, Miyata Akatsuki felt shock and intimacy.

It's like...it's a part of myself.

Weird? How could I think a weapon was part of my body? Was I frozen?

"It's been so long, I finally see you again..."

The mother's voice couldn't stop trembling. What she saw before her was not just a weapon, but an old friend she hadn't seen for many years! A partner she had fought bloody battles with in the past!

"Go up, grab it, and pull it up!"

"Yes! Mother!"

Miyata Xiao swallowed and walked to the handle with a nervous mood. Compared with the three-meter-high black handle, his thin arms and legs... could he really pull it up?

Miyata Xiao didn't hesitate and gripped the handle. Before he could exert any force, a powerful energy burst out from the weapon!

It continued to flow into her body along Miyata Xiao's hand, hitting her body roughly. For a moment, Miyata Xiao closed her eyes in pain, her brows were almost wrinkled together, and her little face turned red.

"Mother...I'm in so much pain."

The pain was not like a knife cutting, a stick beating, or a heart-piercing pain. To Miyata Xiao, this pain was more like a crushing pain!

It's like putting yourself on a frying pan and letting the flat spatula press on you, squeezing and deforming you, the temperature continuing to rise, your bones, tendons, flesh and blood are all crushed into foam, forming a pancake that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

"Hold on! If you can't pull it out, you will die here!"

Her mother's voice was like a heavy hammer, striking Miyata Akira's heart hard, awakening her mind which was already in a trance due to the pain, but also making her even more desperate.

Mother……

She didn't know whether her mother loved her. She didn't understand why her mother had to let her come here alone and refused to tell Captain Bai Yu. Obviously, with Captain Bai Yu around, she could safely draw her weapon, or endure the pain...

Team leader Bai Di... I don't know if you noticed that I'm missing?

As he was thinking, Miyata Xiao's heart drifted to Bai Yi in the distance again. He didn't know when it started, perhaps it was the conversation on the rooftop that day, Bai Yi's position in Miyata Xiao's heart became no longer ordinary, from team leader, senior, friend, gradually, it seemed to be developing in a closer direction.

Has consciousness... become blurred?

where am I?

It's so cold... Save me, Captain Bai Yu...

"Wait for me, Miyata Akatsuki!"

At this moment, on the pure white frozen soil, Bai Yi was on his way!
