[Digimon 06] Purple

"The Digimon has been captured."

Zi put away the XrosLoader, and glanced at the information read on the screen about the prey that had just entered the net.The Huala Beast lay beside her without any image, collapsed into a pile of ooze exhaustedly.

This time, the prey, Queen Bee, has an astonishingly fast speed, and it took a lot of effort to catch it.

Fortunately, the joy of harvest after a successful hunt can dispel the exhaustion in the process.

Zi happily stared at the transparent cube projected from the screen. The queen bee that had played around with them before was now being imprisoned in this cage that symbolized the success of the hunt.Sensing her gaze, this insect-type Digimon whose main color is light yellow feebly raised a pair of legs in a gesture of surrender to her.

"Thanks for your hard work, you should also take a rest in XrosLoader." Zi turned to Huala Beast.Digimon that enter XrosLoader can get a full rest and heal their injuries. I have to admit that this function is really convenient.

The flower beast cast a feeble glance at her.This time she was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to talk back, so she turned into a green light and put it into the XrosLoader.

After returning to the roof of the school from the digital crystal world, Zi realized that the lunch break was about to end, so she planned to leave the rooftop.

And just when she pushed open the door of the stairwell, she bumped into Xiangting Feihe who was rushing upstairs with her head sullen.

"Ah! I found it!" Feihe panted exaggeratedly, while pointing at her, "Zi, why did you come to the rooftop? I've been looking for you for a long time..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zi clasped his hands together, and found a reason to fool him.

"Really, you disappeared as soon as you finished lunch. Next time you want to run up by yourself, you have to tell me." Although she kept complaining, Feihe still took the initiative to step forward and pull Zizi upright. hand.

"Xiaohe, I haven't heard you mention that street basketball team much recently."

"Eh? Could it be that Zi is also interested in Senior Daqi? This is not acceptable! Senior is mine!"

"Hey, Xiaohe, your focus is wrong..."

"Actually, I went to watch the game yesterday. I just knew you had cram school yesterday so I didn't mention it to you...By the way, I haven't told you yet, have I? In addition to Senior Daqi, there are still other players in XrosHeart's team. There is another 'heartbeater'! That boy is in the same grade as us, but most of the people who go to the game are his female fans...Of course, compared to this 'little boy', I still I prefer the stable ones like Senior Daqi!"

Chatting nonsensically, the two girls walked down the stairs holding hands.

"There's something I've always wanted to ask you, Xiaohe, the 'Senior Daqi' you mentioned, could it be..."

Suddenly, a classmate jumped out from behind them and hurried past the two who were about to approach the classroom.The girl opened the door of the classroom first, and shouted angrily to the other students who were scattered in the classroom in twos and threes, "Hey! The results of the midterm exam are out!"

The news she brought completely cut off the remaining half of the sentence that Zi had no time to ask.

The classroom was also quiet for a second, and then soon fell into a new round of commotion.Either wailing or excited, another group of girls who are particularly concerned about their grades have already left the classroom and walked towards the bulletin board.

Fei He sneaked a glance at Zi, seeing that her expression was still as usual, she asked cautiously, "Zi, do you want to take a look?"

Zi nodded calmly, "Well, let's go." She had already made up her mind to accept her no longer excellent self, so when Zi answered Xiaohe, her tone was quite calm.But in fact, she was still a little apprehensive about the rankings.

The bulletin board on the first floor had already been surrounded by a group of people three floors in and out.A girl standing on the outer floor noticed Zi's appearance at this time, she poked her companion by the side with her elbow, and whispered something to her.Her companion turned back, glanced at Zi and said something.Although the voice was not loud, the phrase "...it's nothing special now" still floated into Zi's ears clearly.

Feihe's expression indicated that she also heard this sentence and was extremely dissatisfied with this provocation, but Zi pulled her firmly by her side, restraining her urge to step forward and argue with those two.

"Xiaohe, your ranking this time is very good, and your English is still full marks. Well, my ranking seems to have improved a little bit compared to last time." After reading the results of the two, Zi smiled slightly and whispered to Feihe Dao, trying to distract her attention.

Fei He still rolled his eyes in the direction of those two unwillingly, and then turned his eyes to the ranking of achievements that almost occupied the entire bulletin board.As Zi said, she quickly found her name in a relatively high position.As for Zi's ranking... Looking at this number, Fei He felt even more regretful.

But Zi didn't seem to notice the sympathy hidden in Fei He's eyes at all, but instead studied the top three in the grade with great interest.

Not only Zi, but also the other first-year girls who surrounded the bulletin board were gradually attracted by the names of the top three.

"It's Saori Suzuya, Mitsuki Yamano, and Noriko Shimura again... There is no suspense at all."

"Is it Suzuya's first round this time? She lost to Yamano in the grade quiz last month, but this time she passed."

"Shimura Noriko is really miserable. Even if there is no Wakaba, Suzuya and Yamano will always be on top of her."

"Keep your voice down, didn't you notice that Luo Ye was standing behind?"

That name that will never disappear from public opinion made Feihe frowned, "Are you going back soon?" Compassionate for the emotions of her friends beside her, she slightly pushed Zi's shoulder.

"Alright." Zi forced a smile, and led Feihe away from the noisy crowd.

Even after leaving the bulletin board, the topic between the two of them couldn't immediately move away from the "ranking".

"Mr. Lin will be very happy this time." Feihe walked, imagining the expression on the face of Mr. Lin, the head teacher and math teacher, when he mentioned the grades in the afternoon class. In our class."

"But Suzuya-san is really amazing," Zi sighed along with her, "Students like us who enter the elementary school have certain advantages when they enter the middle school, while she directly enters the middle school. It’s not easy for those admitted to the middle school. What’s more, they occupy the top three positions as soon as they come in, and Yamano-san has really met a strong competitor this time.”

"Yeah, when I transferred to another school, I even took a proficiency test paper, the purpose of which was to test whether I was 'qualified to enter Huajing Academy'... It was a nightmare memory." Chong recalled those far away Feihe couldn't help rolling her eyes at the exam questions that were beyond her comprehension as a sixth grader at the time.

"Don't underestimate yourself, Xiaohe, you are the only one who can achieve full marks in the English questions in that set of papers." Zi smiled and patted Feihe on the shoulder, "...Indeed, everyone's attitude towards learning is indeed different. Seriously. The higher department of our school has the number one deviation value in Koto District, which is not just a nice word to the outside world."

After finishing speaking, Zi was a little sad.After the car accident that completely changed the trajectory of her life, she was able to successfully enter the middle school of Huajing Academy Girls' School, all because of her past achievements and the sympathy of her teachers.If two and a half years later, she still looks like this without any progress, then I am afraid that the door of the Higher Ministry will not be opened for her.

Oh, it's ridiculous to say it.When she took off the hat of "top student" from her head, she became useless, so confused that she couldn't find a goal to move forward to the future.

Originally trapped in her own emotions, Zi heard Fei He's confused voice at this moment.

"Speaking of which, Suzuya and Yamano are both in our class, so who is this unlucky Wannian third... Shimura Noriko?"

"You mean Shimura-san?" Zihe's question caused Zi to pull the corner of her lips helplessly, "Actually, you have already met her."

Seeing that Feihe was still confused, Zi couldn't help but give a reminder.

"The girl who found us outside the bulletin board and still talked to her friends, she is Noriko Shimura."

"It's her." After digging out the memory of those two people in his mind, Fei He "cut" disdainfully, "What's the use of good grades, she's not a gossip who likes to tease others behind her back."

"Xiaohe, Shimura-san, she..."

At this moment, a timid female voice came from behind the two of them, "Well, are you Xiangting's classmate?"

When this soft voice came to her ears, Zi sighed silently in her heart.Fei He, who was called her name, naturally turned her head back, but after she saw clearly who the other party was, the expression on her face became a little stiff.

Noriko Shimura and her friend stood behind them, and it was Noriko Shimura who spoke just now.There was still an unnatural redness on her face, and the friend next to her had already looked angry. If Shimura hadn't been grabbing her arm with the other hand, she might have completely blown Hua Jing Forget about the school rules, and rushed forward to argue with Fei He directly.

Too bad, she must have heard everything!There is nothing more embarrassing than looking back to find the person you are complaining about standing behind you while speaking ill of someone behind their back.

But even so, Feihe still bit the bullet and asked dryly, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"I would like to ask." Shimura Noriko stretched out her hand, and in her palm lay a small metal school badge, "This, did you drop it?" A five-petal Nadeshiko bloomed in the middle of the silver badge, It is the symbol of Huajingyuan Girls' School.

Fei He was stunned.She subconsciously looked down at the left placket of her suit jacket.The place where the school badge was originally pinned was empty, with nothing.

"I probably lost it..." After taking the school badge that he had accidentally dropped from Shimura's hand, Fei He, who lowered his head to part the school badge, also blushed slightly, "Thank you, Shimura-san."

"It's okay." Noriko Shimura smiled generously, then tugged on the sleeve of his female companion, "Let's go."

Looking at the back of Shimura Noriko and her friends leaving, Hikaku kept lowering her head and fingering the school badge that was hung on the collar of the dark blue school uniform, "I seem to have done something bad." She murmured softly.

Faced with this situation, Zi didn't know how to comfort her.She was a classmate with Noriko Shimura for several years before she was divided into classes in the fifth grade, and even sat in the adjacent seat for a semester, so she thought she knew a little about Noriko Shimura.However, before she could tell Fei He these words, this terrible coincidence happened.But in order to cheer up Feihe, Zi immediately changed the subject, "Xiaohe, do you know why Shimura-san knew that you lost the school badge?"

"That's right!" Zi didn't mention Feihe at all, "Isn't everyone's school badge such a small one? Why did Shimura classmate find me immediately?" After the incident just now, Feihe was also behind Shimura's name Added the title of "classmate".

Zi smiled and took off her badge, and put it in front of Fei He, "Look, what's the difference."

Fei He took Zi's school badge, and took off his own, comparing the two together.

"Ah..." Fei He let out a low cry, and quickly noticed the difference.On the Nadeshiko flower on the purple school badge, there is a small gap on the side of the petal near the stamen in the lower left corner, while her own is complete, without any defects.The school badge is only a small one, such a subtle difference will not be noticed unless it is put in front of the eyes.

Zi explained softly at the side, "I don't know who was the first to discover this difference. The only thing that is certain is that from the year you transferred to Xiaohe, those who entered the school after that got the Nadeshiko on the school badge. The flowers are all intact."

"However, I might prefer the not-so-perfect Nadeshiko tweed." Seeing the incomplete petals on the school badge, Zi murmured softly, "After all, no one is perfect."
