"Digimon 04" Like Water and Clear Song

Only when she was convinced that they could no longer see her, Kotoe stopped.My own performance just now was really a bit smug.The air on the moon is relatively thinner, so that at this moment, she already felt a stuffy pain in her chest.

But—Kotoe raised her head, looking at the Digimon world suspended in the black night sky and the other two moons, pink and golden.There is absolutely no chance of viewing the night sky like this in the human world.Without the protection of the atmosphere, there is no need for a heavy space suit. This seemingly impossible idea can only be realized in a magical place like the Digimon world.

Without giving her any more time to hurt Chun Huai Qiu, Qin Hui heard a slight sound from behind.She looked back, and saw the Caesar Lion Beast was already standing no more than three meters away from her, staring at her quietly.

It was only then that Qin Hui realized that she had completely left the lively area where Digimon lived. There were no small food trucks of Hamburgmons and the sound of hawking one after another, let alone the headquarters of Pentagrammons.Looking around, there are only desolate craters and potholes and uneven basin bottoms in this area.She only knew that she was walking forward, but she didn't notice that she had walked such a long distance.

After leaving Cherubimon's castle, she and Kouichi never had alone time.So at this moment, the scene made Qin Hui feel at a loss.

"I said it's okay," Kotoe lowered her head, feeling like a kindergarten kid who made a mistake and got caught. "It's still very safe here. The Royal Knight's goal is the data of the Digimon world. Before we interfere Before they continue to seize the information, there should be no more battles." After saying these words, Kotoe hated herself a little, because fighting the royal knights was no longer what she cared about, but she was still using Such a reason is to find an excuse for myself to be alone.

The lion in jet-golden armor stared at her stubbornly with his blood-red eyes, but had no intention of turning back.

Seeing how stubborn he was, Kotoe smiled reluctantly, but instead of continuing to pay attention to him, she turned around and continued walking in her own direction.He could hear the sound of footsteps stepping on fine gravel, following her at an unhurried speed.In such an open place, the sound of rubbing sand and stones was amplified several times, no matter how Qin Hui speeded up, the sound followed her at the same distance.

Qin Hui felt that her current behavior was very unreasonable, like a child acting coquettishly and throwing a temper tantrum.But she was still suffocated by Huiyi's inexplicable alienation, and stubbornly stuck her neck and refused to look back.She knew that Huiyi would have his reasons for becoming like this, and she knew that one day they would become estranged, so it is probably necessary to get used to the gradually increasing distance from now on.

Just thinking about it like this made her feel aggrieved.

A sour feeling suddenly accumulated in the chest cavity.Qin Hui raised the back of her hand and wiped her eyes.Unexpectedly, the tears had already flowed down unsatisfactorily.She also wiped it with her other hand, but it felt like the water valve of the tear gland had been turned on and off. No matter what she did, she couldn't find the correct button that could be turned off.

Seeing Kotoe, Caesar Leomon, who was just following her, stopped suddenly.She still kept her head down, as if trying to suppress the shrugging of her shoulders.Seeing Kotoe like this, he felt a little flustered for no reason.Without any hesitation, he found himself standing beside her.

Qin Hui turned sideways stubbornly, she gritted her teeth and tried to wipe away all the tears, but found that doing so had almost no effect.The bangs blocked almost all of her view, as well as the worried gaze from the other side.She felt that the way she started crying inexplicably now was stupid, if possible, she definitely didn't want Huiyi to see her crying at the moment.

Since coming to the Digimon world, she has experienced many moments of wanting to rely on him.Unexpectedly, when she could no longer contain this negative emotion, the only thing she could think of was to push him away.

Suddenly, Qin Hui felt a subtle breath slowly approaching her.Before she could understand what happened, she could feel something cold and metallic gently pressing against her cheek.Then, through the icy surface, followed by a warmth that she is not unfamiliar with.

Her heart suddenly beat fast, beating her chest one after another, and she could clearly discern the regularity of the beating rhythm.

"...Kotoe." Kouichi's voice was soft like a stream flowing through the night.

The Caesar Lion Beast leaning on her side caressed her side face that was still dripping with tears with his cheek, and his shallow snort made her feel a little itchy, "...I'm sorry." He whispered softly in her ear Then, as if sighing, "I'm sorry."

Qin Hui's hand that was still wiping tears suddenly froze.

"Why, why?" She seemed to be trying to suppress her emotions, but her seemingly calm words were unnaturally interrupted by sobs, "Why do you want to apologize?" Her eyes were red and light gray The eyeballs were covered with a thin layer of water mist, so that people could not clearly see the emotions hidden in the depths of the pupils.

She went looking for the eyes of Caesar Leomon again, hoping to get an answer from it.But he still remained silent, and his blood-red eyes, which were originally full of concern, began to unconsciously avoid her sight again at this moment.

Qin Hui found that her tears flowed more violently. "I don't understand, why is it like this... Is it really because I 'changed', so I became what I am now?" Mixed with crying, several syllables blended together unnaturally, so that Kotoe's pronunciation of every sentence became vague.

She was afraid of the "change" that Huiyi said himself.If the Digimon world brought such a result between them, then she would rather choose to go back on a motorcycle at the very beginning!Although she knew in her heart... Even if she really made this choice that day, everything in the future would not change because of her choice.

"Or..." That terrible guess hovered in her heart, "It was still because of that time..." Kotoshi vaguely recalled the dark cave, "I have no choice..." In front of the dark beast, she lost her foundation. The choice given to her by Lubimon, as a result, she is always thinking about what would happen now if she had chosen Nanamon's fighter spirit at that time.

"No. It's not like that." Huiyi interrupted her quickly, but his voice seemed a little weak.He didn't know how to comfort Qin Hui, but apart from saying "I'm sorry" clumsily, he couldn't think of other words that could express his inner guilt and self-blame. "...It's not your fault." Even at such a moment, he still has the courage to tell all the truth, even cowardly only dared to hide himself in the armor of the warrior spirit, and accompany him as a Digimon. beside her.

Over the years, Huiyi seldom saw Kotoe crying.Very little, but not none.In the process of getting acquainted with her gradually, he even naively thought that there was nothing that could make this girl who was used to a deadpan expression shed tears.It wasn't until one day when he saw Kotoe hiding in the corner of his room and wiping tears silently after a big fight with sister Wue that he realized how ridiculous his previous assumptions were.

"Being friends with Kotoe will be very troublesome." I remember the first time he took Kotoe's place to accompany Kotoe to the hospital for regular checkups, Dr. Aonuma who was in charge of Kotoe told him this while writing the medical records , "She can't be too angry, sad, joyful, or fearful. In short, any excessive mood swings may cause illness. Be careful not to let her get too excited." Put away the pen, Doctor Aonuma smiled and blinked at him, "So being Xiaokoto's friend is also very hard."

It wasn't until then that Huiyi understood in a daze: Kotoe's emotions that seemed to be completely lost were not lost, but were completely hidden.Hidden in a place where no one can find it.

But at least, she could still cry unscrupulously in front of him.Only in front of him.

"Qin painting..."

"Then what's the reason?" Although I asked this, the previous excitement has been completely wiped out by the negative emotions.After saying this sentence, Kotoe stumbled back a few steps in the other direction, "Forget it, you won't say it anyway. I know it." Except for the damn "telepathy" between Aunt Kimura and the twin brothers ", she thought that no one in this world would understand Kimura Kouichi's character better than her.

"Leave me alone for a while." Qin Hui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes again, and turned her head hastily.Compared with the feeling of wanting to be alone, she wanted to escape from the situation in front of her.Although she knew in her heart that running away was not the solution, in the end she still wanted to run away, avoiding his inexplicable retreat and avoidance.

It's just that when she raised her head, she saw the Caesar Lion Beast was still standing in front of her. "Kinto..." Her retreat actually aroused Huiyi's rare stubbornness, "I've already..." He walked slowly in front of her again, her blood-red pupils reflected her distressed shadow, "at least Now..." His voice was low, almost a whisper.Then the black lion closed his eyes, and when he approached, his forehead just touched her collarbone, rubbing slightly, "At least for now, let me stay by your side."

It is said that in the state of beast fighters, their personalities will change accordingly.Huiyi didn't know if any changes had happened to him, but he could feel that under the mental control of the beast fighter, he wanted to get closer to her more than when he was in the human state.Like a forgotten bestial instinct buried deep in consciousness, wanting to be closer.

So he suddenly felt a little lucky, if it wasn't driven by the spirit of a fighter, he probably wouldn't even have the courage to say these words.Although, even if he attributes all the reasons to the spirit of the beast fighter, it is still the wish in his heart.

If it's her... I want to get closer.

Although, he will no longer have such qualifications anytime soon.

at least for now...

"'Now'?" Kotoe raised her hand and stroked Caesar Leomon's cold armor again.The coldness is only on the surface, because gradually, you can still feel the warmth from the inside, "Is it just 'now'?" She repeated the word, with a smile that was uglier than crying.

Qin Hui thought that she would not get an answer either.However, "Then, tomorrow too..." He still leaned on her shoulder and murmured.He only dared to ask for tomorrow, but after tomorrow he would ask for tomorrow again, because the greed in his heart never stopped.If possible, he wanted to be by her side every day before her determined parting.

Please let him be so selfish for once.Before Qin Hui discovered the shameful truth in his heart, he just stayed with her like this.

The pause in the voice was followed by a longer blank. "Stupid, idiot!" Kotoe maintained her original posture stiffly, and could clearly feel the breathing from the other party close at hand.She knew that she should choose to turn around and leave to calm herself down slowly, instead of yearning for the tenderness of this moment at this moment.But what she had to admit was that as long as she was with him, even for such a short time, it would miraculously make her feel at ease gradually.

At this moment, Kotoe heard a sound from the armed Tyrannosaurus machine she was carrying in her pocket.The pink word "wind" appeared on the square screen, and the communication function of the armed Tyrannosaurus machine finally returned to normal at this time. "Kotoe! Kotoe, can you hear my voice?"

After Qin Hui said "En", she found that her voice was still mixed with crying.I don't know if Koizumi on the other end heard the strangeness in her voice, she wiped away her tears in embarrassment, and then pushed the armed Tyrannosaurus machine in front of Caesar Leomon.

Seeing Kotoe's actions, Caesar Leomon was obviously stunned for a few seconds.However, he reacted quickly, and said to Koizumi on the other side of the armed Tyrannosaurus: "I can hear your voice, Zhi... Koizumi."

"Eh?" Koizumi didn't recover for a while, but soon, she seemed to let out an ambiguous chuckle, and then continued, "Although I am really sorry to disturb you, but we have made a major discovery now. "Then, she explained the location to the two, "...it's right here, please come here quickly!"

"This is... a rocket?" Qin Hui pointed to the vehicle that had fallen into the ground in the center of the basin, and asked the fairy beast.

"En!" Fairy Beast nodded, "This is one of the experimental rockets that Burger Beast used before." Fairy Beast pointed behind him, standing in a row before also watching their Hamburg Beast, "We were in Hamburg at that time. The Burgermons I met in the village emigrated from the moon."

"So that's it." Kotoe's eyes shifted to the boys on the other side who were using the pulleys to lift the rocket out of the pit, "But even if there is a vehicle, there is no way to use it? I remember Pentagram Beast and the others There is no longer enough energy to supply us back."

After finishing speaking, when she turned her head, she met the fairy beast's serious observation gaze. "What's wrong?" Qin Hui touched her face unnaturally, "Is there something on my face?"

The Fairy Beast reached out and tapped her cheek. "Eyes," she explained briefly, and she couldn't bear to tell Qin Hui that her eyes were swollen from crying, so that the Vulcan beast looked in her direction several times, but she was too embarrassed to ask why. "Did something happen? Didn't Huiyi have a good talk with you?" She finally asked without restraining her concern and curiosity.So much so that when Kotoe looked at Koizumi again, she understood that Kotoe had already understood the cause and effect of the whole thing.

Regarding Koizumi's "nosy", Kotoe did not show any anger.She only glanced at Koizumi with a clear look, then lowered her head dejectedly.Recalling what happened a moment ago, she herself felt a little inexplicable.Including the tears she shed and the actions of Caesar Leomon.Finally, she turned her attention to Caesar Leomon who was working hard to lift the rocket out with the other boys, Kotoe said nothing in the end.

Fairy Beast looked at Kotoe, then at the black lion at the end of the line, then folded her arms and frowned.When the two came back together, the atmosphere was indeed a little different from before, but...it didn't seem to have the effect she expected.

"By the way, Koizumi, you haven't answered what method I'm going to use to launch the rocket." Fairy Beast didn't find a chance to ask, and Kotoe changed the topic without changing his expression.Fairy Beast had no choice but to tell her the results of the discussions between Ice Bear Beast and Pentagram Beast.

"Shoot the rocket like a slingshot?" Kotoe didn't know what to say about this whimsical proposal.

"Well, the five-pointed star beasts said that if they can seize this opportunity, they can make the rocket catch up with the electromagnetic tide, and by virtue of the direction of the electromagnetic tide, they can bring us back to the world of Digimon." Knowing the principle, all she did was repeat the words of the five-pointed star beasts, "Now the ice bear beast, the five-pointed star beast, and the meteorite beast have gone to make the 'slingshot' of the 'slingshot'."

"Well," Koto thought for a while with her finger on her jaw, apparently she understood the plan of the five-pointed star beasts, "If this is the case, the force required is... the calculation of the orbit..." She said to herself After roughly calculating in my mind for a while, I finally came to a conclusion, "This method sounds a little absurd, but it might be feasible."

With the help of the Digimon on the moon, all preparations have been completed and the rocket launch is ready.

Before the official launch, Takuya and others solemnly thanked Pentagrammon, Burgermon and Meteoritemon.Carrying the ardent expectations of the Digimons on the moon, everyone got on the rocket and put on their seat belts.Facing the upcoming itinerary and various possible unknown situations, everyone looked serious.

"It's now!" Following Hamburgmon's command, Superstar Beast interrupted the connection at the fixed location.The rockets that everyone was riding on were like projectiles, and flew out in the direction of the predetermined target with the elastic force of the slingshot.

The speed of the rocket is much faster than Qin Hui imagined.A strong inertia pressed her against the back of the seat.As the other two moons gradually increased in sight, the rocket really flew in the direction planned by everyone as scheduled.It's just that not long after departure, it was still affected by the gravity of the moon, and it was obvious that the direction of the rocket was changing.

"No, this acceleration is not enough!" Junpei immediately understood the situation.

"Okay!" Takuya unbuttoned his seat belt, "Leave it to me!"

With the thrust generated by the Flame Dragon Beast, the rocket successfully entered the electromagnetic wave.Seeing Takuya return safely, Kotoe secretly stroked her chest and let out a sigh of relief.She actually forgot that they still have this "artificial energy" to use.

But the crisis is not over.When passing through the electromagnetic tide, although the rocket blocked most of the electric shock for them, the people sitting in the rocket still felt the tingling and paralysis of the electric current.After finally waiting for this wave of electric shock to pass, the asteroids floating in the sky followed one after another.

Under Junpei's command, Takuya, who controls the rocket, avoided the oncoming crisis several times.However, in the end, the tail of the rocket still scratched a long trace on a giant "asteroid", and at the same time there was a harsh sound.Because of this collision, the rocket completely deviated from its orbit.After being rushed out of the electromagnetic tide, hovering in the weightless air.

After breaking away from the seat belt, the body naturally floated in the air.

Tomoki was very excited about this, and even "giggled" with a smile.Qin Hui drifted past him, and found that even though she was in a head-down position, she still didn't feel any discomfort.

"Will we become fragments of the universe now?" Kouji folded his arms.If there is no external force that can push it, I am afraid that this rocket will always be in such a floating state.

"No, no, no! I don't want to be turned into pieces!" Koizumi, who was also head down, tried hard to hold his skirt.Even in this weightless state, her skirt wouldn't fall off at all.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem.Kotoe looked at Koizumi who was clutching her skirt and thought.As long as Takuya evolves again and pushes them in the direction of the Digimon world.Thinking of this, she raised her head hard, trying to check the distance from the Digimon world through the glass.If she guessed correctly, the distance should be very close.

Kotoe was still thinking about Takuya's "artificial power source", at this moment she felt something that really pushed their rocket in the back.

"What is this? It's obstructing traffic, hello!" The motorcycle beast Moore pointed its pointed nose against the rear of the rocket.It turned out that their rocket just landed on one side of the rails that was relatively close to space, or—Kotoe’s gaze stretched to a farther place—and then she discovered that between the golden moon and the world of Digimon, there was actually a There are rails that can communicate with each other!Although it wasn't the time to be surprised by this, she still showed a surprised expression.

"Moore, please push us to the ground!" Koizumi begged the Moore sincerely as he knocked on the glass window.

"Do you want to push?" Moore looked very impatient.

"If you don't help us, I'm afraid you won't be able to move on." Kotoe was still in a head-down position, floating beside Koizumi, and said to the Moore.

"It's really helpless!" The words were a little helpless, but the Moore still pushed up the rocket and sent them, who thought they could only float in the universe, back to the Digimon world.
