[Digimon DA] Parallel Lines

When Yagami Taichi found Chika Haneda, she was sitting on a swing in the park, with her hands on the chain connected to the board, and the black big-eared beast was sitting on her lap.

Even though he was with it, he looked very lonely.

"Qianhua...?"

He walked up to her and called her softly, but she didn't respond to him.The black big-eared beast jumped to the ground, looked at his partner with worried eyes, then looked at Yagami Taichi, and shook his head.

"That's it..." Yagami Taichi seemed to understand the meaning of the black eared beast. After he finished his work and returned home, he learned that Haneda Chika had not returned yet, and he asked Sakamoto Chika through Izumi Koshiro, and he also asked about it. The whereabouts of Chika Haneda were not found.

In fact, Chika Haneda is not a child, he can't control where she goes, but when he thinks of meeting someone he doesn't know, he starts to worry.When he was asked by Hikaru Yagami whether he was afraid of Chika Haneda going to meet a boy he didn't know, he immediately denied it, but was a little flustered.

He, who still doesn't understand the true attitude of this feeling, classifies this feeling as "parental heart" and "brother heart".

"Qianhua, go back, it's getting dark."

Under the afterglow of dusk, Chika Haneda's shadow was stretched out, making her look even more lonely.

He squatted down gently, covering her hands with his hands, showing the same smile as usual.

"Let's go back together, shall we?"

Haneda Chika finally raised her head, her expression was more gloomy than usual, but she forced a smile, trying to make herself look better.

"Taiyi."

She called his name in a low voice, with a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Um?"

He covered up his worries and looked at her with a cheerful smile, without breaking the last "line of defense" in her heart.

She was silent for a while, let go of the iron chain beside her, broke her hands from his palms, and slowly reached for his clothes.The height at which he bent down slightly allowed her to just touch his neckline.She leaned her head against him, clenched her hands into fists, but only slightly grasped his clothes with force.

Chika Haneda is never willing to show her vulnerable side in front of others, but Taichi Yagami is an exception.

Girls in love can't be considered conventionally, just as she, who never wanted to rely on anyone, saw him at this juncture, and took him as her life-saving straw without hesitation.

Yagami Taichi's face changed from initial surprise to worry, and gradually turned into embarrassment, and finally blushed, trying to show a normal smile.Fortunately, Chika Haneda lowered her head and did not see the series of changes in his expression.

Chika Haneda felt her heart beating faster, but when she leaned her head near his heart, she also heard the heavy and gradually accelerating heartbeat of the other party.

Maybe he was scared?As if escaping, this idea came naturally to her mind.

She let him go slowly, and finally returned to her usual indifferent face.

"finished charging."

Yagami Taiichi was stunned, the blush on his face just now slowly receded, leaving only a puzzled expression.

"Eh?"

"Taiichi, aren't you full of 'courage'? So, I want to try to see if I can get a little courage from you like charging an electric appliance."

She is definitely not a frank child, and she is making up some excuses that she can't believe even after hearing it.

Yagami Taichi was stunned, but seemed to believe her words, stretched out his hand to scratch his hair and asked, "Did Chika encounter anything that required courage to overcome?" He regretted it as soon as he asked, he shouldn't have gone Forcibly expose what she doesn't want to say.

Chika Haneda hugged the black big-eared beast, smiled to let him not worry, then turned around and nodded to him, saying, "Yes."

"...I really want to get some courage from you."

She smiled wryly, but never said anything.

He was stunned and didn't answer her for a while, but was misunderstood by the girl in front of him as another meaning.She looked down at the overlapping shadow of herself and him, and said softly, "Go home."

"Well, let's go back."

He walked behind her, she held it and walked in front, until he got home, he still didn't know what happened to Chika Haneda.

However, he felt that there was no need to understand the situation clearly, as long as he stayed behind her, at least he thought so at the moment.

***

That night, the dinner table at Haneda's house was surprisingly quiet.Haneda Yukai saw that Haneda Chika was full of thoughts, but she didn't say a word, so he couldn't ask questions, and when the black big-eared beast made eye contact with him, it obviously told him "don't ask".

When Haneda Chika was packing the dishes, she looked at her father next to her and called out slowly: "...Dad."

"What's wrong?"

"She... Mom, does she have a very close senior, formerly named Bai Chuan?"

For the fact that his daughter mentioned his mother for the first time in the past few years, Yukai Haneda was almost so surprised that his eyes widened and he stayed where he was, but when he saw his daughter's face waiting for his answer, he quickly came back to his senses and thought about it. After a while, he said, "Bai Chuan... seems to have this surname. When we got married, we only invited a few people. She was one of them on the list."

"yes……"

After Haneda Chika replied, she quietly went to wash the dishes.After washing, she sat on the sofa, picked up the black big-eared beast next to her, and asked her father.

"Dad, did you ever hate her?"

Haneda Yukai felt that she seemed reluctant to use the word "mother" to refer to her mother.He sighed and replied with a wry smile: "Qianhua, I haven't told you much about Maria... But, I can say that as her ex-husband, I don't hate her, but as Qianhua's mother, I kind of hated her for leaving everything behind."

No matter how depressed Haneda Chika was, she could hear something in her father's words.She hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Did she...did she leave with the person she was having an affair with?"

Haneda Yumi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.Just when she and the black big-eared beast thought that he was working too hard and his body was finally going to go wrong, he stopped laughing, and his face was completely different from his daughter's heavy expression.

"Where did you hear that?"

"When I was young, all the aunts nearby said that." She turned her head stubbornly and looked at her father's reaction. She probably knew the answer, but for a moment she was still unwilling to admit that the reality was different from what she had believed for many years. match.

She asked Takenechi Sora if she understood her mother before, and it seemed that she herself was the same, she kept her preconceived ideas in her heart, and did not understand the whole picture of the matter at all.Just like in the afternoon, when Ichijoji Ken's mother told her that she was Maria Mizutani's senior in high school, her head froze, and she didn't want to hear any more news about that woman.

"I haven't been able to contact Maria for the past few years, and I wonder if something happened to her. By the way, is your mother okay?"

"I don't know...she left with someone else when I was four years old, and I haven't seen her until now. I don't know where she got along well or not."

"Eh?...Maria?"

At that time, she deliberately ignored the other party's surprised expression that Maria Mizutani would abandon her daughter and husband, and she didn't even want to continue this topic.

"Sorry, I don't know about it."

"Although I don't know what happened in it... But the Maria I know would not do such an irresponsible thing."

"I'm sorry for my rude words, um... thank you for being friends with Xiaoxian, and... Xiaozhi too, now I realize that you are the kid who called and sent Xiaozhi for his last trip, sorry."

"Well, it's okay."

"Welcome to play again next time."

At that time, she just wanted to end the topic as soon as possible and escape from that place.When she was in the park, she thought a lot and calmed down.However, in an instant, she seemed to return to the past, and became the child who had lost her purpose and could no longer survive in this world.

Now she can't have such an idea, she knows it very well.Therefore, the moment she saw Yagami Taichi, she wanted to get some courage from him.

She thought that she was mature enough with the memories of two lifetimes, but she forgot that whether it was her previous life or her present, she was just a child who hadn't grown up yet.

It's time to face it, and it's time to grow up.

She sighed, returned to reality from the thoughts in her head, looked at her father seriously, and waited for his answer.

"Maria is the type who is desperate for love, so when we got married, she almost severed ties with her family. Even though she has lost the feeling of being in love with me, she has infinite beauty for the word "single-minded". She is a fantasist, and she will never find another person to pollute her sacred view of love."

These words undoubtedly broke Chika Haneda's imagination for many years. She took a deep breath, and after accepting this reality, she felt that her father's words seemed to have a little bit of irony. Seeing him smiling as gently as ever, she felt that That might just be an illusion.

"Qianhua, there are many things I can't tell you personally..." Haneda Yumi's smile gradually turned bitter, and he said, "But if you insist on knowing the truth, I just hope you don't hate me so much when the time comes .”

"How can I hate you, Dad?"

Haneda Chika answered almost subconsciously, but the other party only gave her a smile.In order to break the tense atmosphere, the black big-eared beast in her arms smiled and said to Yumi Haneda, "I won't hate you, Dad either."

"The truth or something... Actually, I'm not very determined to explore it." Chika Haneda lowered her head, playing with the ear of the black big-eared beast, and continued: "It's just...it's been so long since I heard about her, so I'm a little concerned That’s all. It’s an established fact that she gave up on this family.”

After a while, Yagami Taichi took a look at Haneda Chika's situation in the name of returning the soy sauce for his mother.Seeing her return to her usual appearance, he suddenly felt relieved.

"Thousand flowers."

When she took the soy sauce bottle and was about to walk back from the entrance, Yagami Taichi stopped her.She turned around and saw that boy was watching her very seriously, so she stopped unconsciously.

"If Qianhua can't muster up the courage, I, as a charger, can lend you a charger at any time." He changed his serious expression before, and said to her with a smile, "I will share my "courage" with you. You."

He took out his digital badge and waved it around, but Chika Haneda couldn't help laughing.

"Even if you use that on me, you won't be able to evolve me with the 'Courage' badge."

"Like "Thousand Flower Beast Evolution──"?"

"Don't think of me as a Digimon. It took me a long time to get Black Earmon to partner with me. Besides, Agumon will cry if it loses its partner?"

"I won't cry... But, I'll probably be very depressed."

Having said that, he met her eyes, imagined Agumon's appearance of huddling in a corner in frustration, and laughed at the same time.

***

The next day, Haneda Chika's mood was much better, and she remembered that she had not entered the digital world with Black Big Eared Beast for several days, so she participated in the children's reconstruction plan in the digital world.

She found them in the kindergarten. It is said that because the kindergarten was repaired, all the Digimon as students came back.When the Digimon children responded energetically to them, Haneda Chika remembered the scene in the founding village.

"Sister Qianhua, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of the time when Patamon and Alimon scared the little Digimon babies. At that time, Wu, you were surprisingly angry."

"Is it something about the founding village?" Gao Shiwu smiled, recalling what happened back then, with a look of nostalgia on his face. "It was also the time when I first saw a puppet that moved by itself and met "Miss Fairy"."

Chika Haneda managed to find a dark history that could be regarded as Takeshi Gaoshi, but he counterattacked and silently looked away.

"That's right..."

Daisuke Motomiya told Chika Haneda that his V-mon had heroically evolved to maturity yesterday, but he did not expect the evolution to fail.Haneda Chika looked at V-boy suspiciously. The Dark Tower has obviously lost its effectiveness. Could it be... the function has been restored?Her pensive look was misunderstood by Daisuke Motomiya into a look of distrust, so he hurriedly let V-mon evolve again, but it also had the same result.

V-mon said innocently: "I can't evolve... Daisuke."

Next, no matter how he and it tried, they couldn't evolve smoothly.Chika Haneda looked at the Dark Tower standing in the distance, but didn't see anything unusual, so she hugged the black big-eared beast and remained silent.

It seems that Daisuke Motomiya is the only one who has no doubts. He thought that V-mon was eating too much and sleeping too much, and did not exercise enough.The other four children and Chika Haneda looked at each other, nodded, and reached a consensus.

"Actually, armor evolution is enough, Iori, come on."

"OK."

Taking advantage of Kyo Inoue and Iori Hida diverting Daisuke Motomiya's attention, Chika Haneda, Hikaru Yagami and Takeshi Takashi left for a while and walked into the nearby forest on the grounds of checking the repaired place yesterday.

"Are you suspicious...?"

Hikaru Yagami and Takeshi Takashi may have had some discussions before, they looked at each other, and nodded to Chika Haneda.Gao Shiwu took out the D-3, looked at his partner and said, "Let's try it out."

Chika Haneda looked at the black big-eared beast, and also took out her own D-3.However, it turned out that Badamon couldn't evolve into Angelmon, and Black Big Earmon couldn't evolve into Wutumon either.

"Why can't it evolve?"

"Could it be that the previous Dark Tower... started to interfere with us again?"

Chika Haneda looked at the Dark Tower in the distance, then looked at the worried expressions of the two children, and made a decision in her heart to look at her partner, the black big-eared beast.At the same time, it looked at the restless expressions of the other two Digimons, and it showed the same expression as its partner, and also looked at the black big-eared beast.

The other party was indeed the partner she had met with, she thought about it, and smiled at each other.

"If those towers disturb your mood, after I assisted you in rebuilding today, let me destroy the remaining dark towers from tomorrow?"

"Eh?" Iori Yagami shook his head and said to her, "But... this is just our speculation. Is it better to focus on the reconstruction of the digital world? And, if it is really as we guessed, sister Qian It may be dangerous for people to go.”

"Sister Qianhua, let's observe for a while."

After they went back, Daisuke Motomiya lively got along with the children's Digimon, and told Inoue Kyo the result.After a brief discussion, they found that Hida Iori was no longer there. It turned out that he had gone underground for reconnaissance.

After a while, there was an explosion sound from a certain direction, and a huge Digimon emerged from the ground, and the closest one was Haneda Chika who was nearby.She saw Hida Iori next to it, and she could deduce that it was the evolved form of the pangolin.

Before she could rush over, Hida Iori was attracted by a strange gravitational force. There should be a small Digimon fighting him and it.At this time, an insect-shaped Digimon rescued Iori Hida, and after handing him over to his partner, the Digimon began to fight the tiny Digimon.

After she ran over, the other children also noticed the movement and stepped forward.The incident was probably caused by a Digimon that attacked them for no reason. In order to protect its partner, the pangolin evolved into a war armored beast, and a Digimon that had never been seen before rescued him and went to fight.

The green insect-shaped Digimon in the air wiped out the tiny spherical Digimon with agility, and it seemed that they had no chance to make a move.

"What is it doing?"

"Too much..."

Chika Haneda opened her mouth, but did not speak out what was in her heart.She just remembered that during this journey, the selected children dealt with the enemy by breaking the dark ring. To eliminate the enemy in such a direct way seemed cruel to them.She realized that her views were different from theirs, and she kept silent so as not to provoke an argument.

At this moment, Kenichi Kazujoji appeared in front of them, and the green insect-shaped Digimon also flew to his side, and degenerated into Insectmon.While they were amazed, he quickly disappeared from their sight again.

After they calmed down, they temporarily forgot about Yicheng Temple's sage until dusk fell.

***

"It's very popular."

"It seems that you are very good at coaxing children."

Facing the words of Takeshi Takashi and Chika Haneda, Daisuke Motomiya, who was playing with the Digimons, said embarrassingly, "It's so noisy!"

Today's maintenance work came to an end, and they couldn't help feeling healed when they saw the harmonious scene between Daisuke Motomiya and the Digimons.At this time, Hida Iori discovered that the Dark Tower that was still on the mountain during the day had disappeared.

Yagami Hikaru and Gao Shiwu recalled the previous conversation, and thought that Chika Haneda was a habitual offender who often left the brigade to act alone, and looked at her sitting next to her in unison.She looked at their calm eyes, as if declaring that she was a prisoner, she quickly shook her head in denial.

"No...not me, I don't have the time to destroy the Dark Tower yet."

The black big-eared beast thought about it, that is to say, did its partner intend to destroy the Dark Tower in private?

"Then...? Speaking of which, when did the tower disappear?"

"Is it because of this that you can evolve?"

Haneda Chika thought for a while, and the most reasonable explanation was that the pagoda was destroyed by Kazuyoji Ken.But in this way, the suspicious points increased. First of all, they didn't notice the loud noise after the Dark Tower fell, and secondly, there was something wrong with the timing. If the Dark Tower worked, he would not be able to make the Worm Beast evolve to a mature stage. Let's save Tian Yizhi from the fire, shall we?

The action-oriented Chika Haneda made her partner evolve into Wutumon, and before the others could react, let it hug her and jump from the rock wall to the cliff.

"Sister Qian, you are fooling around again!"

Yagami Hikaru looked angry, and she might be lectured by her "sister" after she went back in a while.Thinking of this, Chika Haneda buried her head in Wutumon's arms, pretending not to hear the other party's call.

She comforted her and said, "If you apologize later, you'll be fine."

"……Um."

Arriving where the Dark Tower used to be, she noticed something unusual.The Dark Tower that was originally there seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of being destroyed.

She looked at the night sky in the digital world, and sighed silently.

It seems that the digital world still needs them, of course in an uneasy sense.

The author has something to say: Sunday’s update, looking at the gradually declining collection, I began to feel that the little angels don’t love me anymore [tears]

This chapter starts to bring up the mother's matter, but if I really want to tell everything, I am afraid that it will be later. There are many situations in the Haneda family...

Taichi's boyfriend power is high!I worked hard!By the way, these two are still not together, I am so entangled! 【cover face】

In other words, the Dark Tower has been revived again, and it is time to enter the full game, and the badge that Qianhua has forgotten is about to go online. 【Didn't you forget it】
