[Digimon 06] Purple

After realizing the disappearance of Seedmon, Clockmon, who lacked combat experience, fell into confusion in an instant, "Where did it go?! That Digimon that was following you!" Hammer, make a threatening gesture.

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, as soon as the clock beast finished speaking, a lazy voice rang out from behind it, "What? What do you want to do with me?"

The Clockwork Beast turned around alertly.In its conception, the disappearance of the Seed Beast should mean a surprise attack from nowhere or a trap that fell from the sky—this is what it came up with after several times of avoiding the siege of Digimon hunters without any danger. However, he did not expect that the only Digimon that needed its guard at present would just squat on the back of a theater seat in such an ordinary way, asking it "what's the matter" calmly and nonchalantly.This unexpected development successfully made the clock beast's mind go blank.

In the gap of a few seconds, it suddenly heard the girl's inaudible laughter from behind its head, "I'm so sorry."

Saying so, Zi stretched out her hand, and pushed hard towards the Clockmon, whose back was facing her unsuspectingly.

"What I just said was a lie to you."

There is no such thing as "beginning". Her hunting announcement just now was just to trick the clock beast into shaking its mind at this moment.

Even though her current body is still in the lower grades of elementary school, Zi's push almost used all her strength, and the clock beast never expected that the human beings who have always been in the position of giving orders would attack it, that clumsy The metal body rolled directly down the steps of the theater, making a series of "ping-pong-pong" noises, and something even jumped out of the gap in the dial and fell into the shadow under the seat.

Zi's ​​attention could not help but be attracted by the object that fell from the clock beast, and he stopped halfway down the stairs to look for a few more.The seed beast knew what she was thinking, and its round body easily got into the gap under the seat, and pulled out a disc-shaped metal object from it.Zi took a look under the not-so-bright light, only to realize that it was actually a metal gear.

"So...?" She picked up the piece, which was half the size of her palm, and looked sideways at the Clockmon, only to realize that the Digimon was lying on its back and moving like this after falling down the stairs. No, it looks as stupid and ridiculous as a tortoise on all fours.

It seems that the Clock Beast, which has the power to control human time, is just a precision instrument.So what about the power unique to Digimon, but in the end it couldn't bear even a tiny vibration.Otherwise, it will become what it is now, like a piece of fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.This is probably also the reason why it chose to negotiate instead of solving the problem in the most direct and rude way of Digimon after seeing Zi rushing to the door.

Seeing that Zi's hands were holding the important parts that it depended on for survival, the panic-stricken Clock Beast reached out to her, "Hurry up! Give it back to me!"

Zi couldn't help but be amused by its reaction.She thought it was Jincheng's shrewdness and greed that would reinvent Clockmon, but she didn't want Digimon to treat human desires equally. In their view, the so-called desire is just a source of power from it.

"Stop joking." Zi casually threw the gear further away, and approached the Clock Beast step by step, "Haven't you figured out your current situation?"

She stopped beside the paralyzed Earth Clock Beast, and her fingertips touched the hands on the clock face.

"Stop, stop!" Seeing that Zi's movements couldn't be stopped, Clock Beast was completely panicked, and the already shrill voice of the young man was pulled out of tune under anxiety, "No, don't move that! I warn you! In this space, everyone’s backward time is different. Even if you force the time on your body to return to normal, it may cause time disorder on others... You, don’t you just ignore your companions, Is that woman dead or alive?!"

"Oh?" Wen Yanzi raised the corners of her eyes, and squinted at the clock beast lying on the ground.The latter stared at her unwillingly, and gave her a final warning with his eyes.But Zi just glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, "Since you said that..." As she spoke, she exerted force on her finger.The cold-colored metal pointer did not speed up, but started to go backwards under her obstruction.

Zi's ​​unexpected action once again shocked Clockwork Beast, "Wait... If you do this, you will...!"

It's too late.Once the regression of time begins, it cannot be stopped immediately.

This time, Zi could clearly feel the magic of time working on her body again.The gradually shrinking palms in the field of vision and the weakened strength all imply that her body is returning to a more fragile state a long time ago.

but--

The dazzling light from behind made Zi look towards the Seedmon.The brilliance of data aggregation far overwhelms the insignificant light projected from the projector, which is the golden dust covering all parts of the digital crystal world coming from unknown places and gathering here one after another, enveloping the seeds. The beast's original seemingly fragile and tiny spherical shape.

Just like a mass point that has been squeezed to the critical point, and then exploded after bearing too much energy, the body of the seed beast also swelled into an unbelievably tall body in just a few seconds, and that huge body broke through in a blink of an eye. roof.Among the shattered walls and ruins, a rose-red sky unique to the Digital Grain World appeared.

She was right.Violet exhaled lightly.

Her bold idea comes from an unrealistic assumption that Yu mentioned to her: both Hualamon and Shuxingmon are reincarnated Digimon. If time continues to go backwards on them, then Seedmon and Saku Will Tomon go back to the form of Ceresmon and Strongmon before reincarnation?

It was this possibility that made her decide to take a gamble after hearing the clock beast's warning, but she did not expect to reverse the situation.

It's a pity that after the Ceres beast pierced a hole in the ceiling, the enchantment filled with the clock beast's power was subsequently broken.In a blink of an eye, that huge body that seemed familiar disappeared in an instant along with the dissipated data powder.Instead, the head of the flower beast soon appeared beside the gap, and she squatted with her legs crossed beside the big hole in the roof, looking into the room with her head poking her head, "Hello?" she said to Zi unhappy, "it's over as simple as that ?”

Shizuru straightened the hem of her uniform, which was back to normal.The XrosLoader held in her hand projected a light blue square data block imprisoning Digimon.The invalidation of the enchantment meant that she could get the clock beast into her pocket without any effort.

"Yeah. Digimon, the capture is complete."

In the gray sunset, Ayako woke up.

She seemed to have had a very long dream in her lethargy.In the dream, she fled back to her wayward girlhood, with long hair dyed golden brown, a series of silver rings hanging on the earbones, and the skirt of the sailor suit cut short. publicity.

When she opened her eyes for the first time, she seemed to see the self that only existed in dreams and in the past when she was not fully conscious. "She" was standing not far away, and the dim yellow glow cast from a distance cut out a straight back for "her".

Xu Shi heard the movement of her sitting up, and she watched "myself" turn around slowly.

no the same.The girl in front of her had long, straight black hair, no trace of piercing on her white earlobe, she was wearing a neat and tidy Western-style uniform of a private girls' school, and the length of her skirt was just right.

That's not her.

The chaotic memories before she fell into a coma flooded her mind, "Sachiko...you, are you okay!" Ayako stood up from the bench in a panic, "What happened?! That long A monster with a mechanical arm!"

"I'm fine." Zi took a step back calmly, opening the distance between her and her again, "I'm fine now."

Zi's ​​obvious refusal made Ayako's outstretched hand freeze in the air, and she awkwardly changed to clasping her hands together.After confirming with her eyes that there was no trace of injury on Zi's body, Ayako breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine..." After sighing, she sat back on the bench again, covering her face with her hands. There was obvious fatigue on the face and the whole body.

"How old are you this year?"

She suddenly heard Zi ask this. "27." Ayako answered her almost subconsciously.

Before she finished speaking, Ayako realized what Zi's question meant.She slowly lifted her face from her palm, her lips trembled, and her pupils showed a clear panic.

Zi stared directly at the pair of eyes that were exactly the same color as hers, calmly bent the corners of her mouth, and slightly bowed to Ayako, "Thank you." She used the most standard honorific, "Thank you, I am still willing Come back to me."

After finishing speaking, she felt that the purpose of coming here today had been achieved, and there was no point in staying here anymore, so she turned around and planned to leave.Unexpectedly, before she took two steps, Ayako grabbed her wrist forcefully.

"I'm sorry...!" She was clearly an adult woman, but she still looked like a child crying.Tears kept rolling down from her eyes, and the exquisite makeup was quickly smoked, "That night was an accident...and I was only 15 years old..." She sobbed uncontrollably, describing the scene to her intermittently. A past that cannot be changed, "I can't remember what happened, and I don't know who that person is...I'm scared...It's too late when I find out, so I can only do this...I'm sorry, really, Sachiko, I'm sorry……"

Yu waited for her at the street corner.When he saw Zi's figure coming out of the greenery, he greeted her, and handed her a can of carbonated drink, "Here."

"Thank you." Zi took it from him ignorantly.Because of the weather, the aluminum can was covered with a thin layer of water vapor, and the tentacles felt a comfortable coolness.Unexpectedly, he saw it at the time. It was her favorite peach soda when she was a child.After she started track and field practice, she gave up carbonated drinks. Unexpectedly, after so many years, this brand of soda is still there, and even the outer packaging has not changed much. It is still the same as she remembers.

The Clock Beast doesn't know that there are some things that are not bound by time at all.

"He's fine." Before Zi appeared, Yugang ended the call with Daqi, "Senior Daqi found him in the basement of that building, really, he was addicted to playing video games with Doudou brothers In the end, I forgot the time..." After sighing helplessly, Yu carefully raised his eyes to look at her, "So, what about you... are you okay?"

Although he didn't want it, he couldn't deny that he had indeed glimpsed the girl's secret hidden under her indifferent appearance that she didn't want others to know.

"Yeah." Zi replied lightly, "I made you laugh this time, I'm sorry."

Her nonchalant appearance made Yu's heart tighten again, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and patted her head like coaxing a child, "This is not something you should apologize for."

Zi was taken aback by his natural movements.

In fact, she should have noticed it earlier. It has been less than a year since they met in the digital world. The little boy who was half a head shorter than her has already reached a height that can be at the same level as her line of sight. Maybe After some time, his height will be far higher than hers.

I always feel that it will become very reliable.

It will become...it doesn't matter if it makes her rely more on something.

When she regained her senses, Zi realized that she had let herself lean on Yu's shoulder.The boy's body was stiff for a moment when she was leaning on him, but his arms spontaneously raised to wrap around her shoulders.It was more of a gentle protective gesture than a hug.

"Now I understand why she is in uniform in the clockmon world." Purple put her forehead on Yu's shoulder and whispered against him.

Before the guilt towards her, it was more regret towards himself.

15 years old, still in middle school.Even I am still a child, how can I have the responsibility to bear the burden of an unexpected baby?

"Really, if you are destined to choose to give up on me in the end, why did you stubbornly give birth to me in the first place?"

"However, I really want to thank her." The boy's voice sounded above her head, full of apology and embarrassment, "Thank that person, the person who is your mother by blood. Thank her for giving birth to you " His tone was really too soft, like a pleasant warm current flowing gently through her heart, making her eyes swell.

"It was she who brought you into this world." Even though he had to go through so much pain and tears, he could still sincerely thank God, "for allowing me to meet you."

The author has something to say:

Yuu's last sentence is the meaning of my writing this incident.

In fact, there are still settings that cannot be expressed in the text, so I will just wait until the end is over and I will go over the settings that have not been written. I don’t know if you are interested.

Speaking of which, there have been a lot of emotional dramas recently, don't you find it annoying?
