[Digimon] Izumi Shikibu Diary

"It's the sea!" Xiaoguang, who was comforting Xiaojing at the side, suddenly yelled in the middle of the lecture from the sage of Kazujoji, and then ran in another direction.

Seeing her running away like this, Xiaojing immediately chased after her, and Kazuyoji Xian could only pause his lecture, holding Chongchongshou in one hand, and followed with Izumi in the other.

After running for a short time, they found Xiao Guang muttering to himself in the distance on another cliff, "Sure enough... it's really the sea, why are you here again..."

"Sea?" Xiao Jing looked around in confusion, "Where is the sea, I didn't see it? Isn't there just a big forest in front of me?"

One is the holder of the badge of light that is easily called by the darkness, and the other is the victim who has been controlled by the dark force... Looking at Xiaojing's reaction, Izumi, who also saw the sea for some reason, just silently hugged Kazuyoji Ken She doesn't want others to know that she can see the sea, because she is convinced that she has absolutely no light quality or is influenced by some dark force. The only thing that can explain this situation is that she herself is The term belonged to darkness, and she hated such inferences.

"Why is this sea always calling for Xiaoguang?" Tailu Beast said angrily, it still had lingering fears about the last time Xiaoguang strayed into the sea of ​​darkness and encountered danger.

"Has Yagami-san ever been to this seaside?" Ichijoji Ken frowned, his tone a little sad and thankful, "It's not just me..."

"Xian, Yagami-san's emblem is light, so the darkness will definitely try to attract her, whether it is because of the desire for light or the reason of wanting to pull light into darkness together." Izumi explained in his ear in a low voice, but she believed Xiaoguang must have heard it, because after she finished speaking, she found Xiaoguang trembling.

"Can both Xianjun and Xiaoguang see it? Why am I the only one who can't see it?!" Realizing that she was excluded, Xiaojing couldn't help but yelled, and after a few seconds, she suddenly fell silent and murmured He muttered, "Oh? It's really the sea..."

Seeing the change in Xiaojing's attitude, Izumi, who had been silent all the time, became thoughtful.Inoue-san also saw it suddenly, so it doesn’t necessarily require special conditions to see this sea. I saw it from the beginning just because I was a little sharper than Inoue-san...

While she was thinking, a Digimon suddenly appeared out of thin air, and a big hole appeared behind it, and the scene in the hole looked very similar to the forest where Kazujoji and the others were just now.

In order to get out of this strange place quickly, Ikjoji Ken and Xiao Jing hurriedly evolved Chongchongmon and Mayingmon, but Xiaoguang suddenly knelt down on the ground for some reason, and hugged his head just like Ikjojiken just now yell.

Just when she was about to collapse, Xiaojing gave her a slap to cheer her up, and Dilumon and Yaguramon also merged and evolved into a human-faced Warhawk at this time.

Seeing this scene, Izumi, who was guarded by the sage of Kazujoji, no longer knew how to react.The last time Xian and Motomiya-kun were able to connect with each other and let their Digimons evolve together because Hongu-san slapped Xian. Now Inoue-san and Yagami-san's Digimons can evolve together because the former slapped the latter. , Is the evolution of fit is that slap? !Or is it that a slap in the face can promote mutual understanding? !

After defeating that Digimon, all of them returned to the Digital World.

Because Izumi's clothes were still a little wet and his hair was not completely cleaned, after briefly explaining to Daisuke and the others, Ichijoji Ken immediately said goodbye to the others, and then took Izumi back.

After returning to Izumi's room, Ichijo Jixian left immediately, allowing Izumi to change into clean clothes, and after she changed, he also came back with hot tea.

After handing her the tea and telling her to drink it quickly to warm up, Kazujoji Xian said in a worried tone: "Izumi, I saw two used teacups in the kitchen, did they come when we arrived?" Did your uncle and aunt come back in the digital world?"

Hearing what he said, Izumi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately went out of the room to have a look, and saw the kraft paper bag on the living room table.

"It should be my mother and her colleagues. They probably came here for the interview." After looking at the information of Paper Dairi, Izumi gave him a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, if you don't see me, my mother will only think that When I have something to go to other places, I won’t think about it casually.”

"Huh? That's fine."

Since I also saw a small note left by my mother beside the brown paper bag, and asked myself to call back as soon as possible when I got home, Izumi shook the note in his hand after seeing Ken Kazujoji relieved, "Xian, I may not be at your house for dinner today, please apologize to my aunt for me, as for the extra dinner, you can find a way to sneak back to the room and feed it to the larvae."

"Okay." Kazujoji Ken nodded, and then added, feeling worried, "If there is a need for me to explain to my aunt, please tell me."

After sending off Ichijo Teraken and sending the Larvamon back to him from the balcony, Izumi returned to the living room and dialed Xiangzi's cell phone.

On the phone, Izumi explained to Xiangzi that she went to the Metropolitan Library just now. After all, Xiangzi would not check her borrowing records, nor would she go to Ichijoji’s house to verify. Later, she promised Xiangzi that she would be obedient after school tomorrow He stayed at home to accept interviews and take pictures before hanging up the phone.

After putting down the microphone, Izumi couldn't help but sighed towards the phone.

From the preliminaries of the National Academic Competition all the way to the National Competition with the highest score, and even won the championship in the end, more and more people wanted to interview her, and she could refuse the school's arrangement, but when her mother When asked for an interview for her publisher, she didn't know how to say no.

Fortunately, the publishing house where Xiangzi works mainly publishes books such as novels and essays, and the main purpose of the publishing house is to hope that Xiangzi can publish a confession book about how to cultivate a genius like Izumi. The interview with her It will probably only be placed at the end of the confession, and it will not exceed three pages at most.

After reading the information in the kraft paper bag and remembering the questions that might be asked tomorrow, Izumi went to the kitchen to find his dinner for today.

Before dinner, Izumi went to the room and took his laptop to the dining room. While eating dinner, he used the computer to play the files of the recording pens he had placed in the living room and dining room, and wanted to confirm whether Xiangzi was on the phone after arriving home. I have asked about my whereabouts with the Ichijoji family next door.

Thinking of this, Izumi couldn't help but be thankful that she was afraid that she would be too focused on the computer and developed the habit of turning on the recorder as soon as she got home. After all, she never expected to be dragged into the digital world involuntarily like today .

Soon, she found the part of her mother coming home from the long two-hour recording.

At the beginning of the recording, there was the sound of the door opening of her own house, followed by Xiangzi's voice calling to herself while taking off her high heels.

"Hey, Izumi isn't at home? Xiangzi, haven't you mentioned to Izumi that we are coming to your house to interview her today?"

From the voice of the other party, Izumi heard that the person who came back with his mother was his mother's college classmate and current colleague Ebina Yayoi, and Izumi met her several times when he was a child.

"Because she usually stays at home and does her homework with the children of the Ichijoji family next door, so I didn't specially remind her. I think she probably went to the Metropolitan Library to borrow or return books. There is always a book in her room. There are piles of foreign books borrowed from there." Speaking of this, Xiangzi couldn't help sighing, "Yayoi, sit down and have a rest, I'll make you a cup of tea."

Then, the sound of Xiangzi's footsteps leaving and the sound of paper rubbing came from the computer's stereo. Taking advantage of this time, Izumi, who had been afraid that he might miss something and didn't move the tableware, quickly stuffed a big mouthful of risotto into his mouth inside.

After a while, Xiangzi's voice sounded again: "By the way, there seems to be some snacks in the refrigerator, Yayoi, do you want to eat?"

"No need, just leave it to Izumi's child." After saying that with a smile, Yayoi suddenly changed her tone, "By the way, Xiangko, are you and your husband... okay?"

"Recently we are discussing the contents of the divorce agreement." Xiangzi paused, "Kang Xiu is a little anxious, his girlfriend is already pregnant, it seems to be two weeks old..."

Hearing this, the spoon in Izumi's hand fell on the porcelain plate, making a crisp sound, and because of the recording, the conversation between Xiangko and Yayoi was still going on: "Well, that's fine, Xiangzi, aren't you Do you also hope to be with Kobayashi-sensei as soon as possible?"

"Well, after Kang Soo said that he wanted a divorce, I applied to the editor-in-chief, hoping to be transferred to the branch in Kyoto. However, because of the publication of a confession, the editor-in-chief will probably not approve me until next year. Apply."

"Then what about Izumi's child? Who is the guardianship for?"

"We haven't discussed that yet, and we are still discussing the division of property." Xiangzi's tone sounded a little irritated, "Kang Xiu probably doesn't want Izumi to follow him, after all, he is a very old-fashioned person, and he likes Izumi so much Computers and science are very unacceptable. And recently that kid Izumi has become famous because he participated in a lot of competitions, and his girlfriend seems to be a little upset..."

"Haha, I'm probably afraid that my child won't be as good as Izumi!" Yayoi laughed a few times before stopping, "So, Izumi will follow you from now on?"

After Yayoi finished asking, Izumi thought that Xiangzi would answer yes immediately, but Xiangzi was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "I don't know, after all, I'm going to Kyoto, and I'm not sure if she will be willing to follow me." Go, and... Kenichi's house is also a traditional Japanese-style house, Izumi probably won't be used to it..."

Yayoi didn't comment on what she said, but turned to say: "Seriously, Xiangzi, I still remember what happened at the wedding ceremony between you and Kang Xiujun, and how you treated our friends at the bachelor party before the wedding." the words said."

"Oh, what did I say?" Hearing her voice, Izumi could probably guess that there was a nostalgic smile on her face.

"You said, you Ono Komachi and Fumiya Yasuhide from the Showa era would definitely cultivate the most shining new star for the Japanese literary world, but in the end, you cultivated a math and computer genius!"

"Yes, I remember this, and I also remember when I was a child, in order to make Izumi like literature, Kangxiu and I would read to her every night. I read modern novels, and Kangxiu read Japanese songs, but those things For Izumi, it only had a hypnotic effect, and it did not give her any interest in literature."

After a long silence, Xiangzi spoke again: "Before I met Kenichi, I thought that if Izumi liked literature and accepted Kangxiu and I's training, maybe...I mean maybe, me and Kang Xiu will not go to the stage of divorce. After all, we were so eager for our children to inherit the advantages of both of us, but Izumi's performance disappointed us so much, so we tried to find new possibilities... ..."

Hearing what she said, Izumi's body seemed to have lost all mobility, she couldn't move at all, and she couldn't even reach out to turn off the recording that made her eye sockets start to heat up.

Yayoi seemed a little excited, "Xiangzi, it's not fair to Izumi to say that!"

"Yes, I know it's unfair to her, but I think sometimes she's unfair to me as a mother. She never behaves like other girls. She never clings to me and asks me to tell her stories with her; When I said that I had to work overtime and couldn’t go home, she never acted like a baby or cried and said she missed me; she was not interested in going shopping with me at all, she would rather stay at the neighbor’s house and read the nature magazines they subscribed...” Having said that, Xiangzi's painful voice stopped.

Maybe it was to change her mood, so Yayoi quickly changed the topic, and the two chatted a few more words before leaving home to eat at the restaurant.

Hearing that the content of the recording file had returned to the calmness and silence at the beginning, Izumi came back to her senses. She raised her hand to rub her eyes blurred by tears, but realized that she His face was full of tears.

As she poured out all the leftover risotto, she wondered vaguely when was the last time she cried so badly.

After clearing the dining table, Izumi took his computer and recording pen back to the room, then fell heavily on his bed, and smiled softly.

This is the first time she has heard this kind of statement. It is obvious that she became independent and strong in order not to worry the other party. She stayed at home obediently because she knew she was not interested in literature. Switching to mathematics, science, and computers, I hope my parents will not be disappointed in me...

"It's to rationalize my behavior, hehe, people, how selfish do you have to be to have such thoughts..."

As she spoke, Izumi's laughter slowly turned into a slight sob, and tears flowed down her long hair, and then slowly spread out on the bed sheet.

The author has something to say: I don't mean to excuse Izumi (after all, it is expected that she should have a tendency to become black at this time), I just want to explain Izumi's current state of mind

For Izumi, the only person at the same age who can make her a friend is Ken, so she doesn't have a strong sense of identity with Daisuke and others.

In the same way, because she is not a chosen child, and because she is following the rational route, she doesn't care much about the digital world that has no constraints and conflicts with the ideas in her head. It is just that Xian likes her and follows Notice

In addition, she regards the Ichijoji couple as important as her own parents, so when Jae-hyun risked her life to save the digital world, as an insider, she always felt that she had the responsibility to ensure Hyun-hye's safety and did not want her to have an accident, so will...
