[Digimon DA] Parallel Lines

When Haneda Chika returned to Gennai's residence, he was talking with the children through video.She huddled in a corner, closed her eyes lightly, and thought of her days in the digital world so far.

Looking at those familiar but unfamiliar figures behind them, the stories they interpreted for her, and the time she quietly mingled among them like a thief, are all her memories of her journey alone, which belong only to her.

She is a person who walks on parallel lines with them.

Their real paths will not overlap.

Even so, she still wanted to meet them with a real gesture when she went back, and said:

──Welcome back.

The old man Xuannei has already told them that real children should have eight things.

"The important thing is that this distorted world cannot be corrected unless these eight people are gathered together."

Hearing the old man Xuannei's words, the seven children all showed surprise, but they were also full of anticipation, wanting to meet the last companion as soon as possible.

Yagami Taichi asked first: "Where is this child now? What's his name?"

"What's his name...I don't know about that either. But I do know where he is, in Japan."

The old man Xuannei then told them the bad news—the vampire monster already knew the news, and summoned the Digimon, intending to go to the real world one step earlier to destroy him.

After explaining everything, I can only leave it to them to find a way.

The current task of the old man Xuannei is to make more preparations, in case the children fail to sneak in and have to ask him to assist them so that they can go back on their own.But more importantly, to send Chika Haneda back to the real world.

After all, Chika Haneda shouldn't have entered the digital world from the very beginning.

***

The time of parting came soon, and the vampire monster had opened the passage. As long as the old man Xuannai sent Chika Haneda to the gate, she could go back to the real world through the passage.

"All along, you have given me so much help in the digital world, giving me the opportunity to grow with them in another way, thank you."

"Really thank you very much."

"However, there is one thing I must make clear, I am not saying goodbye to Taiyi and the others."

"I'm going back to 'meet' them again."

"goodbye."

Finally, after quickly saying these words to the old man Gennai, Chika Haneda was teleported to the gate that was about to close.At that moment, she seemed to see the figure of Yagami Taichi charging towards him with all his strength, but she didn't have the time to look at it for a few more seconds, because after she took a step back, she lost the sense of solidity on the soles of her feet, and fell backward all of a sudden. up.

──I still missed this small part of the time.

──But it doesn't matter, we can have more real time "together" after we go back.

──See you later.

Then, she lost consciousness again.

To be honest, it's really shameful to fall backwards in this way of returning.

***

Under the obstruction of the vampire monster, the children finally missed the opportunity to enter the passage opened by it and go back, just as the old man Xuannei expected.However, with the help of the old man Xuannei, they learned how to open the channel and got the card, and successfully returned to the real world.

They opened their eyes and looked around, but they couldn't see the portrait of their partner Digimon.

"This temple... is the camp, we are finally back!"

Kido Takeo first confirmed that this is the place they stayed before entering the digital world, and the fact that they really returned to the real world surprised him.Mimi Tachikawa next to her heard it and couldn't help crying.

"We fell into the digital world here... Where are those Digimon?"

With suspicion and anxiety, they almost thought that entering the digital world was just a dream, or that the Digimon stayed in that world and did not come back together.However, a call from the Bichumon made them all smile.It turned out that they were looking for food nearby before they woke up.

This habit in the digital world can already be let go.The children laughed and told them:

"This is Japan already! So, you don't have to eat those things anymore!"

"There is better food!"

The Digimon were all curious and excited about what they said, and returned to their partners one after another.

After they had a discussion, they first decided to find their eighth companion in Japan as soon as possible. Takeuchi Sora's thoughts left this topic first, and discovered something.

"...Speaking of which, Qianhua was also standing with us at that time, right?"

"...Could it be...Could it be that Haneda-san is the eighth companion!?" Joto Shiroto's imagination was too rich, and his face of seeking approval from others was ignored by everyone. Takeuchi Sora interrupted what he wanted to say next , said the point.

"No...I mean, where did Qianhua go?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became stiff, and everyone fell silent.

They have been in the digital world for too long, and they don't even know when they will return to the real world, let alone where Haneda Chika, who has been separated for a long time, is now.

"Speaking of which, is today still our first day at camp?"

Yagami Taichi came back once, so through that experience, they knew that the time calculation methods of the two worlds were different, but they could not confirm the current time.Yagami Taichi is an activist, coupled with his experience in the digital world, he was unwilling to sit still, so he proposed to go to the camp to investigate.

"Taichi, where do you want to go?"

He only took two steps, but the voice from the temple stopped him.

The children looked at the direction of the sound at the same time. Chika Haneda in the temple was wrapped in a thick coat and slowly moved to the door, looking at them expressionlessly.

After a long journey in the digital world, when I returned to the real world, I saw familiar people immediately. Every child present was moved. Among them, Taichi Yagami and Takeuchi Sora, who had the closest relationship with Chika Haneda, were the happiest. .

""Thousand flowers!!""

Chika Haneda put on her thick coat, put on her backpack, and jumped onto the snow.Because the board was not very high, she quickly got her feet on the ground, walked up to Yagami Taichi step by step, and smiled slightly.Seeing this smile, Yagami Taichi's shadowy memories from his childhood were slowly brought back, but the emotion was overwhelmed, he just slightly widened his eyes and fixed his eyes on her smile.

"Welcome back."

Her voice seemed much softer than usual, and that faint smile expressed that kindness even more.

After overcoming many difficulties, they were finally able to hear this sentence.Even though they didn't answer, each of them silently said "I'm back".

Yagami Taiichi felt the sincerity behind her smile, and thought how long it had been since he had seen her smile like this.Whether it was before or after the loss of her mother in the Haneda family, she always showed a stubborn expression, unwilling to show her vulnerable and tender side. Except for those threatening smiles, she rarely showed such gentle smiles .

At this moment, this picture is deeply etched in his mind.

"...What, you thought I would say that?"

However, it didn't take long for this emotion to be interrupted by the other party's dissatisfied tone.

Yagami Taichi tilted his head, "Huh?", unable to react at all.Seeing his expression, the girl in front of her showed an even more unconvinced expression, pointed at him and said:

"Even though you pulled me out of the temple, you left me here alone. Taichi, do you have any dissatisfaction with me?"

"Uh...not..." Yagami Taichi scratched his cheek, and subconsciously looked away.He couldn't tell the truth, they actually traveled to the digital world and defeated many enemies before returning.He looked at the other partners with help-seeking eyes, and they agreed unanimously to let him apologize.

He withdrew his gaze wanting to cry without tears, not daring to look at Haneda Chika directly, he hesitated for a long time before saying:

"...Yes, I'm sorry."

"Forget it." Chika Haneda actually knew all about it, and she wanted to vent her depression of being ignored by them since she was in the digital world.She clasped her arms in front of her, and sighed like "I've seen through your virtue a long time ago".

"Anyway, you've always been like this."

"What do you mean 'it's always been like this'..." Yagami Taichi complained in a low voice, but Chika Haneda, who had a keen hearing, caught this sentence.

"You always act casually, leave me alone." She pointed out the other party's mistakes with a straight face, and her furrowed eyebrows expressed her displeasure.Seeing that the other party still wanted to refute, she immediately questioned: "How many times have you thought of me during the time you left me?"

Yagami Taichi was at a loss for words.

During the period of entering the digital world, the first time I remembered her was in the mansion of Evil Beast, and it was always mentioned by Takeuchi Sora after that, let alone worrying about her, I didn't have much time to think of her.Strange to say, they are always together, they have been like this since childhood, even if they are not as close as before when they grow up, they still have an inseparable bond.

Being around the other person is as natural as breathing.

However, during his days in the digital world, he did not lose his sense of her company.

She seemed to be beside them, inseparable.

Although he would think so, in fact, most of the time, they had already spent all their thoughts on dealing with the enemy, and forgetting her was just a normal thing.

"You, don't you even worry about me...?"

With that girl's tough attitude, he gradually became weaker, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake.

"That's...that's it."

Haneda Chika fell silent, stared at him, and said nothing more.To be honest, these words were just to make them believe that she was left in the real world, and of course mixed with her inner complaints.

It took a long time for her to react.She turned around and walked in front of Takeuchi Sora, hugged her and remained motionless.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt that the girl had been wronged, and silently buried her head in her friend's arms and cried.They each gestured and winked, making Yagami Taichi apologize quickly.He scratched the back of his head, and his tone softened unconsciously.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... So, don't cry."

However, the girl still didn't raise her head, and everyone felt strange.Takenouchi who was hugged was the first to react, and asked with a dry smile, "Qianhua... Could it be that you are warming up?"

She rubbed against her arms and rubbed her face before raising her head.She showed her entire face, not to mention the traces of tears, there was not a single drop of tear or the slightest sign of crying. "I'm cold." She maintained her hugging gesture, turned her head slightly and asked Yagami Taichi, "What did you say just now?"

Yagami Taichi blushed, feeling very ashamed, and said loudly: "Nothing!!!"

When the other children knew the truth, they all snickered.So, Taichi Yagami, who became angry from embarrassment, went to chase them, the culprits, and took revenge.

Mimi Tachikawa didn't participate in the chase behind her, so she plucked up the courage to step forward and said, "Sen...no, Haneda-san, if you're cold, can I lend you my gloves?"

Chika Haneda looked at her for a while, buried her face in Sora Takenouchi's waist, and said, "No need." When the other party was about to show a disappointed look, she continued, "You can just call me Chika, Mimi." She let go of her hand, stood in front of the other party, and looked away.A little shyly said: "I'm not cold anymore... But thank you anyway."

The two girls stared at Chika Haneda, she slowly became embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her face.

Unexpectedly, they reached out and touched her head, as if they were rewarding a child who made progress.

"very good."

"Good boy, good boy."

"Eh, why?!"

──I seem to be treated as a little sister, all kinds of heart tired!

After they finished their quarrel behind them, Chika Haneda looked at the Digimon who had been left out in the cold.Noticing her gaze, Takenei Sora hurriedly came up with an excuse and was about to explain, but he heard the other party take it for granted and said, "This is a puppet, right? By the way, should we go back to the camp to have a look first?" "

Takeuchi Sora was stunned, but he also seriously thought about her suggestion.After her reminder, the children remembered their original purpose.The two girls behind her could only smile wryly at her receptivity and plainness.

Haneda Chika was also sweating, just now she almost blurted out "you are here too..." and almost forgot to pretend to be ignorant.

Like them, she chose to hide.

Even if the truth is told, it is difficult for the other party to accept and believe it.More importantly, she felt that she had nothing to share with them, and everything she remembered was just the scenery she saw alone.

In her opinion, there was no need to confess at all.

She is not their companion, just a bystander from the beginning.After returning to the real world, she has no reason to touch anything related to the digital world.

However, being able to meet again, she was full of emotions in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

In fact, the moment Taiichi Yagami turned around to see her and called out her name, she was completely stunned.

She really is back.

Not a ghost-like existence in the Digital World, but the real "Chika Haneda".

──Welcome back.

No one will greet her, no one will know her "return", so she secretly told herself this sentence.

***

They walked in the direction of the camp along the road they remembered.After they got down the stairs, they saw Mr. Fujiyama running towards them.

"Yakami!"

When he came in front of the crowd, he scolded them loudly at the first sentence: "Idiots! What are you doing here without packing your bags!"

"That... that is..."

After the Roller Beast on Yagami Taichi asked, "What are you packing?", he immediately covered its mouth, looked a little flusteredly at the teacher, and then at Chika Haneda behind him.When Mimi Tachikawa beside her hurriedly wanted to explain, Haneda Chika took a step forward and said, "It's a talking puppet, it's really exquisite."

The children behind them all looked strange, and they didn't know how to answer the conversation.

The teacher explained to them that because of the snow, the summer camp had to be cancelled, and the others had already packed their bags and were going home.

Knowing the situation, Chika Haneda first thought about the whereabouts of dinner.

Because the summer camp has a stipulated itinerary, her father moved the time of going out on business to these few days, trying not to leave her at home alone.Now, the situation has changed, she must contact her father and let him work with peace of mind, and then deal with the breakfast, lunch and dinner issues in the past few days.

After Haneda Chika's parents divorced, all the housework fell on her shoulders.She often goes to Yagami's house to study, so that her father can concentrate on work.Thanks to the Yagami family's assistance, she will not often stay at home alone.

"Are those dirty looking toys your toys?"

When Mr. Fujiyama saw the Digimon, he was full of doubts.Yagami Taichi could only nod in agreement, trying to reduce his doubts.Izumi Koshiro in the rear prevented the rice cake beasts from refusing dissatisfiedly, and Ishida Yamato also made them pretend to be puppets so that no one could find them.

Chika Haneda glanced at them inadvertently. From the perspective of a more careful person, they have too many flaws.But taking into account their feelings, she also put on a face that didn't notice anything strange.

The children are still making up lies, saying that these "puppets" were thrown away by others, and that "they" were thrown away in the wild mountains and sparsely populated places, and they went through many difficulties to get them.

"Since it was thrown away in a sparsely populated place... how did you find it?" Mr. Fujiyama quickly pointed out doubts. Chika Haneda felt that the teacher was not careless, but he missed "It is obviously a discarded thing, why do you want it?" It takes a lot of hard work to get” this point.

"And... Teacher, look! My sister can't come to the summer camp temporarily... So I want to bring these back, my sister likes puppets the most!"

"Yeah, she's sick, so she can't come."

"But it's ready, because I made omelet rice for her to eat!" Yagami Taiyi said quickly, slipping his tongue.Haneda Chika glanced at him, and she could see "stupid human beings" from her eyes... No, from her eyes, she could see contempt for him.

"You cook?"

"Ah... I mean before coming to summer camp!"

Seeing that Mr. Fujiyama had almost let go of her suspicions, she sighed and decided to interrupt the topic herself.

"Teacher, aren't the other students still waiting?"

"Ah, that's right! Go and pack your bags and gather in the parking lot! Don't dawdle!"

After the teacher left, Chika Haneda followed them to clean up.In fact, her only luggage is this backpack, and the tent is provided here, so she has nothing to pack.Moreover, she had brought her backpack with her when she was dodging the wind and snow, except for some snacks while waiting for the children to show up, she hadn't taken out anything else.

She approached Yagami Taichi and said, "Let me help too."

"Oh, thank you!" Seeing Yagami Taichi's hearty smile, her resentment for being ignored all this time became heavier, so she planned to play tricks on him.

"By the way, Taichi, why didn't I know that Xiaoguang liked puppets 'most'?"

"Uh……"

"And before coming to the summer camp this morning, you made omelet rice for her? What a good brother. I didn't even see the one who had breakfast together. You must have gotten up early to make it." Chika Haneda teased him, satisfied I saw his bewildered expression.

"...Well, it's fine anyway."

Seeing that they were all roughly packed, she stood up and walked towards the parking lot.

Yagami Taichi didn't notice her abnormality, and was only relieved that he hadn't been seen through.

***

Since Haneda Chika arrived at the parking lot first, the children were able to talk to Digimon without any scruples.All of a sudden, so many human children appeared in front of them, and they were all amazed.

Seeing her close friends, Mimi Tachikawa immediately rushed forward and hugged them, but they couldn't understand her reaction.All the time, in their eyes, until just now they were together.

On the other side, Chika Haneda was talking to Mr. Fujiyama.She learned that after the summer camp was cancelled, the teacher called the children's families. Some of them couldn't be reached, such as the Yagami's family whose parents were out of the house.The father of the Haneda family asked his daughter to pass on his mobile phone number to the teacher in order to receive the notification in case of emergency.After the teacher contacted his father, he stated that he would go home as soon as possible, and asked the teacher to tell Chika Haneda to report his safety.

"Thank you, Fujiyama-sensei."

After knowing the situation, Haneda Chika immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed her father's number.

"...Dad, I'm Qianhua."

From her point of view, she hadn't heard her father's voice for a long time.

"Qianhua, I heard about the situation from the teacher. I will come back from work as soon as possible. Can you do it alone?" 』

"Please do your job well. You don't have to rush back, it's fine with me."

"But... Dad, why don't you come back soon to accompany you?"It's summer vacation, and we can hang out together... Let's think of it as compensation for the summer camp you lost. 』

Haneda Chika thought, the blood-sucking monster and his subordinates were active here, and the later his father came back, the safer he would be.

"I have a lot of summer homework unfinished, and I can't go out to play after my father comes back. I really don't need to worry, as scheduled."

"...Woo...cough cough, well, if you have anything, please go ask uncle, don't hold on alone, you know? 』Uncle refers to Susumu Yagami—the father of the Yagami family. Yumi Haneda and Susumu Yagami have known each other since they were young, and they have a very good relationship. The Yagami family often takes care of Chika Haneda.

"Yes, I see. Dad, work harder."

After hanging up, she thought that in the digital world, there was one thing she had decided, but she hadn't realized it yet.

She turned around and wanted to ask the teacher for something, but Yagami Taichi took the lead.

"Teacher! Fujiyama-sensei! Can we get off on the way?"

Of course, the teacher immediately refused.

"Get off the bus halfway? No, no, no. The teacher has the responsibility to send each of you home."

"Come on, please, sir, we want to get off at a residential area near the Hill of Light."

"Hill of Light? Why do you want to go there?"

"Because, because, I used to live there, I miss it a little so I want to go back and have a look." Besides Yagami Taichi, other children also came forward to ask the teacher.Right here, a voice sounded weakly from the side.

"Teacher..." Chika Haneda, who was left on the sidelines, also joined the conversation, and she said, "I also have something to go to the Hill of Light."

"You too, Haneda?"

"Yes, my father asked me to go to Konogaoka to buy something and go home." She had a sincere expression on her face, and she was a well-behaved girl like Takeuchi Sora, and her attitude towards Yagami Taichi was different. The teacher quickly Just believe it.

"Since it's my father's request...then there's nothing I can do about it."

Yagami Taichi muttered beside him: "Mr. Fujiyama, you are biased..."

"If Yagami is like Takenouchi, if you play football at school, save yourself from breaking a few pieces of glass, hand in your homework on time and pay attention to your lectures, I will also be partial to you." Fujiyama teacher looked at Yagami Taichi with a smile, and said After saying this, he couldn't say anything more.

The driver explained that the car would pass through the Hill of Light, and they could get off at Daquan, and the road to the Hill of Light was not far away.The other children also didn't care about Haneda Chika, and wanted to make the teacher agree.

Ishida Yamato and his younger brother Gao Shiwu staged a scene of "missing" the place where their parents lived before they divorced. The oldest city householder also promised to be responsible for sending them all back. The teacher finally agreed that they would also be there. get off at.

After learning that the two brothers were acting, Joto complained: "Are you acting? I thought it was true, and I kept pleading with the teacher!"

"Forget it, let everything go well!" Yagami Taiichi persuaded Jodo Kido, thinking: It would be terrible if Fujiyama-sensei heard about it.

He turned his head to look at Haneda Chika, and said to her: "Qianhua, you go back and don't follow me! I just went to see! Anyway, uncle, he told you to go to the hill of light to buy something, it must be a lie Bar!"

She gave a "tsk", Yagami Taichi really knew her too well.

The Kidojo who was standing next to him said dejectedly, "Even Haneda, you are like this..."

"I really want to go shopping, it has nothing to do with you, Taichi."

After all, she turned her head without looking at him, and regardless of the other party's reaction, she queued up to get on the bus.

Their affairs have nothing to do with her.

After returning, she wanted to return to the peaceful days.

Trying her best to walk on the adventurous journey alone, she no longer wants to experience those days neglected by them again.

The author has something to say: Thanks to all the little angels who left comments before, you are all my Kend who broke my wings... the little angels who broke their wings! ! !

The author, who even changed his dinner to supper time, suddenly felt no regrets!Even if I sit down and overeat with my mother's resentful eyes, I'm still full of happiness! 【Are you sure you are not asking for sympathy→→】

The plot of Qian Huajiang's return is very simple, because at the end, I don't think she needs any more adventures.

Well, this can be regarded as a little compensation from the author.

The interaction between Taiyi and Qianhuajiang is cute~ Although I think the cutest part of this chapter is the hug~

Come on, leave me a comment! ! !Make fun of it!Make fun of it!Make fun of it! [Because it is very important, I have to say it three times]
