The Story of the Fate of the Digital Series

Volume No.11: Moonsea Labyrinth & Many as One (17)

(fifteen)

Memories that have been buried for a long time are swept away like a dirty torrent.

——Memories of having family members for the first time——

"The hateful Digimon of the dark system actually killed so many innocent Digimon..."

"Master MEDIEVALDUKEMON, there are still surviving Digimon here!"

"Great, I'm coming here now!... Is it a juvenile Digimon? Poor kid, don't be afraid, you're safe now."

"I am Medieval Dukemon, the leader of the Flying Dragon Knights, and the guardian of justice."

"...Really? My companions are all dead, and I know the pain of being homeless. Didn't you cry? Yours is strong, child. Don't be sad. If you don't mind, let the Knights be your home."

"You will meet a lot of companions. I believe that I can become a qualified 'mother'. In fact, I wanted to adopt a baby Digimon a long time ago and raise it as my own child. Isn't it strange? Obviously Digimon There is no concept of family affection, and I will never become a parent..."

"But when I saw you, I was even more sure that my thoughts were correct. You are a child full of talent, and I believe your future will be full of glory."

"I will arrange suitable courses and training for your future. This may surprise you... maybe, it's not that surprising. In short, if you want to survive well in the digital world, learn '文' and 'Wu' are important..."

Medieval Duke Beast, head of the Flying Dragon Knights, my 'mother', my mentor.

It is you who give me hope for the future, thank you, 'mother'...

——Memories of meeting him for the first time——

"I'm meeting you for the first time, deputy head, I'm a wizard beast. I will follow the orders of the medieval Duke beast. From now on, I will be your personal assistant. If you need help, please ask me... Well, please give me your advice. "

"Does my appearance bother you?"

"No... the first time I saw a slender female knight beast, I was a little surprised. Most knight beasts are males with a strong body. Sorry, I didn't mean to deny you; if my rudeness makes you feel uncomfortable Yue, I apologize to you..."

"Before I became the deputy head of the Flying Dragon Knights, the people always believed that my slender body could not prove my combat strength, but the head always believed in my talent. Therefore, I lived up to her expectations. The strength gained the position of deputy head."

"Perhaps, I was harsh. Since then, my subordinates have been a little afraid of me. Don't worry, I won't deliberately make things difficult for others. Since the leader recommended you to come here, you only need to complete your own work. And... Be sure to keep my personal privacy secret, you know? I hate my privacy being known by other irrelevant Digimon, gossip news is very annoying."

"Well, okay..."

Personal assistant?I am no longer a child who needs to be taken care of, and the 'mother' seems to care a little too much for me.But it's not a bad thing, at least he's quiet and reliable.

———Memories of the first time I fell in love with creamy cinnamon pie——

"Is this your dessert?"

"It's a creamy cinnamon pie. I think you might like it. Eating sweets is good for stress."

"Do you think I'm a kid? The best way to relieve stress is self-exercise and self-cultivation... Well, I will not disappoint your kindness. I will accept your wish."

"...Is there still cream cinnamon pie? You didn't let the other Digimon know, did you?"

"I have strictly complied with your request. And, I am glad that you like my pie... I will make it for you often."

"Really? Your dessert was very successful in relieving me of stress, so I will continue to work hard in the future... Creamy cinnamon pie is indeed delicious..."

Wizard Beast is really a very suitable assistant for me.Especially his creamy cinnamon pie, which is delicious. 'Mother', would you like to try it?

——After he became a royal knight, his memories before parting——

"I really didn't expect that you would be selected as a royal knight by Igudora Hill. Anyway, congratulations, Dunasmon."

"..."

"What's the matter? Dunasmon, you look a little disturbed. This is not what a royal knight should look like."

"Until the end of the war, it may be difficult for me to come back. I wonder if you, who always like to do your own thing, can take care of yourself after losing your assistant..."

"Dunasmon, do you think I'm incapable of taking care of myself?"

"Aside from cooking, there is nothing you are not good at... Sorry, I shouldn't reveal your privacy."

"Is that all you worry about?"

"I just feel that if I die in the war, even if I am resurrected, I may lose my memory and forget the most important recipe. In that case, you may never eat your favorite creamy cinnamon pie again .”

"..., you are still a bitch, Dunasmon, do you think the cream cinnamon pie is more valuable than your life? Even if I am not a royal knight, I know that the one chosen by Igudora Hill Royal knights will have the privilege of retaining past memories after death and rebirth. Compared to rebirth after death, I hope you will not give up your life easily."

Calm and dependable Dunasmon ≥ Creamy Cinnamon Pie.

"Sorry, maybe I was worrying too much... The cream cinnamon pie seems to be finished, please wait for me a little bit."

"It's really an oversized creamy cinnamon pie..."

"In addition, I also wrote down the detailed recipe, you can try to make it in your free time... No, maybe it would be better to let other trustworthy Digimon make it?"

"It's okay for me not to eat desserts for a long time, I will wait for your return...Of course, since I got your recipe, I will still try to make it in my spare time."

"As expected... I have to leave now, take care of myself, Knight Beast."

"Don't say goodbye like a fool. Also, try not to die, dunasmon..."

Time really flies, I never thought that my personal assistant would say goodbye to me in this way.Of course, it is also reasonable for him to be selected as the Royal Knight by Igudora Hill. 'Mother', do you think I'm envious of him?Indeed... becoming a royal knight is a matter of honor.After he's gone, it might be a little lonely, right?Besides him, after all, I don't have any other Digimon with whom I have a close relationship.

I'm not sentimental, after all I have other important work to do.The war is not over yet, as the deputy head of the Knights, I have the responsibility to fight against evil forces with you and protect justice.

Creamy cinnamon pie?It's a pity that I can't eat it for a long time. I will try to make it in my free time.You don't look expectant at all, 'Mother'.What?A little worried about kitchen and food safety?

Until the end, when I was learning to make creamy cinnamon pie, I never made it...

———……that was… a terrible… memory…———

Dunas is dead...

His digital egg was taken to the God Realm of Ygudora Hill, waiting to be reborn and awakened like other royal knights who had passed away.

Next time I come back, I really have to wait for a long time...?I have clearly told you many times to cherish life.

You are a fool, dunasmon...

Why... at this time, it makes me feel sad...

'Mother', I am strong, and death in war is a common thing.Anyway, he'll be back.

But right now, I still have work to do.

As the war drew to a close, the Demon King's army launched its final attack.The enemy's offensive is as violent as a wave...

"Deputy leader! An ultimate Digimon appeared from the enemy army, it is Onismon! It is bombarding us!! We are powerless to resist that powerful force, and the army is beginning to be defeated across the board."

"Hold on!! We must not let the Demon King's army get close to the last line of defense before the commander's reinforcements arrive!!!"

That's right, you can't give up just yet.Once the enemy occupies the city, more innocent lives will be sacrificed.

"Vice Captain, you are injured!!!"

"Injured? I'm fine... yes, it's just this level. Come on, cancer! I won't let you destroy everything!!"

... The dull pain slowly brought me back to consciousness.

There were hideous scars all over his body, and he almost let out a scream because of the severe pain as soon as he felt tired.

This is the price of messing around...

"'Mother'... I knew you would come..."

Great, reinforcements are here.Even if it's a vague figure, I know it's you.

It's so dark...

"Son, you did a great job and people are thankful for you."

"The war will end soon, and the digital world will usher in peace soon. So, wake up as soon as possible, child... The Knights need you."

"Did you see those beautiful roses in my hands? The subordinates entrusted me to bring them here, and I would like to extend their greetings..."

"Hey kid, guess what I brought?! Can you smell the aroma? Yes, it's your favorite creamy cinnamon pie, I made it myself according to the dunas beast recipe. Maybe the taste is a little bit It’s different, but it’s definitely not inferior to him! You haven’t eaten pie for a long time, I hope you can wake up immediately after smelling the aroma, fresh and hot pie is the most delicious, right...?”

"My child, I really hope you don't wake up now... Although the war has been won, peace has not come, but a sudden disaster. The black mud suddenly appeared, spreading everything and swallowing everything. The outside world is not safe , I have the responsibility to stop the mutation..."

"Son, you must stay here, don't leave. I must go now, take care..."

I seem to have been in a coma for a long time, but I can vaguely feel that 'mother' is visiting me every day.I vaguely heard her voice, vaguely saw her figure, is the war over?

But why is the final voice of 'Mother' sad and anxious?In the end what happened?

"...What happened? I seem to be fine, can I stop? I'm with you..."

The blurred vision gradually became clear, and I regained consciousness and called 'Mother'.But there is no response, did you leave?

It's really quiet, it must be 'mother' who arranged me in the VIP ward.Really, there's absolutely no need to specialize.

strangeness?Why are the roses on the table completely wilted?And the creamy cinnamon pie, covered in mold; healthcare workers don't make such mistakes.

"Nurse? Nurse, are you there?"

Maybe because I just woke up, my hands and feet are a little awkward when I got down from the regeneration cabin.They rang the bell calling for medical treatment of Digimon, but no one came.

Something is not quite right!I have to investigate clearly!

...why is this...?

During the time I was unconscious...what the hell happened...? ! ! !

The originally beautiful urbanization has become ruins with black scorched marks, full of the breath of death.A kind-hearted Digimon who once had a friendly acquaintance has become a bloodthirsty beast that is completely irrational and tainted by filth.

What's the matter with you?Is it the demon kings who made you like this?No, 'mother' told me the war was won!It's just that there has been a catastrophic mutation, and all the changes must be related to the mutation!

Are you out of control of yourself? ...Damn it, I know what to do, and nothing I say will do anything, will it?Then... sorry...

It must be painful to become like that, right?So, I executed them with my own hands... But, why didn't they regenerate as Digi-eggs?Am I doing something wrong...?

'Mother', you have always taught me to believe in justice, are my actions just? 'Mother', where are you?

By the way, the underground sanctuary!There is the place where 'mother' taught me to fight and practice, and it is also the safest area that is most suitable as a refuge! 'Mother' must be there.

The door of the sanctuary was closed, and the thick chains locked the door tightly.This is the characteristic chain that binds dangerous existence, and only you can untie it.

Inside the door, there were faint screams of fear, and 'Mother''s almost crazy laughter.Afterwards, silence was restored inside the door again.

"Is 'mother' you? What the hell happened?"

Without haste to undo the chain, I gently pushed the door open a crack.The moment I pushed the door, my neck was grabbed by the outstretched arm of the 'mother'.

"...no, I'm... what am I doing?"

She let go. The 'Mother' looked very off, her voice was shaking and she seemed to be trying to stay rational.

"I...I'm sorry, it's not me. I'm not..."

"Me... and the other children, we are locked up here... We can't fight against the black mud, so we have forgotten what it means to be ourselves."

"'Mother', what the hell happened...?"

"Oh boy. Don't forgive me, my behavior is unforgivable. But please, please don't forgive me... tell me, you will save yourself, save us..."

"Digimon polluted by black mud are not worth living, please, promise me to kill (release) us. Promise me... ok?"

"'Mother', I understand... But, you haven't lost your mind yet, if you only need to find the holy female beast, maybe the three angels can purify you..."

Perhaps, I really have selfishness towards 'mother', and I don't want to hurt her.Even if I know that the Digimon that I wiped out cannot be purified, I still maintain a fluke mentality.

"Didn't you hear what I said?!!!"

'Mother' suddenly roared like mad.Afterwards, her voice softened.

"Look at me, then say it again."

"Promise me, don't die here..."

"Get out of here, hurry up, before I forget myself..."

'Mother' retracted her arms and disappeared into the dark corridor.

I can't leave 'mother' alone, she hasn't lost her mind yet.By the way, cleanse!There is also a holy crystal used to purify evil forces in the sanctuary, which was a gift from the "three angels" to the Knights.Just using that might relieve her.Just take her to the 'Three Angels', and the Holy Celestial Beast will definitely help!

Being immature, I disobeyed my 'mother''s plea, unchained myself and entered the sanctuary.

But what awaits me is endless despair...
