[Digimon DA] Parallel Lines

In Sakamoto Chika's room, she was happily chatting with her guests Kyo Inoue, Chika Haneda, and Sora Takenouchi.

It should be said that her original intention was to have a pleasant chat.

Kyo Inoue from the sixth grade, Chika Sakamoto and Chika Haneda from the first grade of junior high school, and Sora Takeuchi from the second grade of junior high school are all girls from different grades, yet they were asked to get together, which is not surprising.With Chinatsu Sakamoto here, the rest of the people couldn't easily bring up the topic of the digital world, so they were suddenly asked to get together like this, and they really couldn't find a common topic.

The initiator of today's gathering is Chinatsu Sakamoto.

Inoue Kyo knew that Chika Sakamoto knew about Digimon, so she brought Dumbmon along with her, but was abducted by Akita Sakamoto, who was close behind her sister, and hid in her room to play.Before it parted with its partner, it used its eyes to beg for help once, but it was a pity that the little boy had changed his shy and introverted character at that time, and took it away lively.

When the black big-eared beast who stayed at home touched the handle of the game, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back.It felt like it had escaped a catastrophe, maybe it wasn't an illusion.It firmly refused after hearing that it was going to Sakamoto's house, which was indeed a wise decision.

"Chinatsu-san... Long time no see! No, I've actually met her before, but I didn't say hello."

Inoue Kyo had known Sakamoto Chinatsu during the activities of the elementary school computer department. At that time, she and Haneda Chika had a gentle attitude and the other had an indifferent attitude, but she regarded both of them as seniors she liked very much.

"I'm sorry, I called you out suddenly, didn't I scare you?" Sakamoto Chinatsu smiled, inadvertently glanced at Takeuchi Sora, and then turned her gaze to Inoue Kyo. "Recently, you've all been busy with..."Digital World", so it's not easy to call you all here. Sora-senpai is too popular in the club, so I can't always find you."

"Uh...um."

The three selected children looked away guiltily, acquiescing to what the other said.

"I don't mean to blame you, it's hard work to take care of both sides. And..." Sakamoto Chinatsu smiled softly, but the three girls in front of her had a bad feeling in their hearts. "Meimei often tells me about you in emails, so I am quite aware of what happened to you in the digital world."

After Tachikawa Mimi learned that Sakamoto Chinatsu had a certain understanding of the digital world, she often exchanged information with the other party, so even though she hadn't seen Inoue Kyo for a long time, Sakamoto Chinatsu still knew how this junior had changed.The other three looked away, knowing that after the two girls joined forces, they were immediately filled with a sense of crisis.

"Let's get to the point. In fact, I called you here to discuss gift giving." Sakamoto Qianxia looked distressed, and began to explain the reason to them, "My cousin's birthday is coming soon, and my brother and parents have returned to Tokyo not long ago. I also plan to celebrate together. In the past, I only gave gifts to my cousin, so I didn’t have so much trouble choosing a gift, but now I want to distinguish myself from my parents and younger brother, and I want to give my cousin a meaningful gift, so I want to ask you Opinion."

"...I don't have much experience in giving gifts to boys..." Chika Haneda weakly raised her hand, her face was still calm, but she showed a bit of embarrassment.He smiled and accepted what she gave Haneda Yukai, but he didn't know if it was actually suitable. Sometimes she simply found a recipe and made a rich meal that was mostly his favorite dish, saving money on buying gifts.

"Haven't you ever given a gift to Yagami-senpai?"

"..."

When Takeuchi Sora saw Haneda Chika look away, he couldn't help laughing.

"Sent photo frames, stationery, etc., and... a new football."

Inoue Kyo was stunned for a moment, and then expressed his thoughts: "I don't think I'm talking about something for a boy, but a gift for a little boy next door."

Haneda Chika heard this sentence, and Takeuchi Sora's faint laughter came from her ear, she looked over, she seemed to be trying very hard to hold back her laughter, but she still laughed out loud.So, she looked to the other side, looking angry.

"Uh... Chika-san, I don't mean anything else, it just sounds like that! In fact, you gave something you thought the other party would like, didn't you?"

After being comforted by Inoue Kyo, Haneda Chika slowly turned her body back and sighed.

"I don't care, you don't need to apologize." She glanced at Takeuchi Sora, who had finally stopped smiling, and said softly, "The one next to him who laughed didn't show any sign at all." Well, don't worry about it."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because I can't help but think of Taichi's expression when he told me..."

"Hey, Taichi went out to complain to you, didn't he?"

Sakamoto Chika saw the little bit of dissatisfaction on Haneda Chika's face, and what could be called a "jealous" look, as the only person who knew about her friend's current crush, she decided to cover it up for her.

"Well, I've already received the presents. Surely Yagami-senpai is the one who complains about the other party, right? Sora-senpai, aren't you right?"

Takeuchi Sora thought for a while, then smiled and said to them: "Yeah, Taichi didn't come to complain to me... Although the tone sounds like this, but the expression on his face shows that he is showing off to me. "

He received her gift... Will he show it off to others?

It turned out that he was really happy to receive those gifts.

Thinking of this, Chika Haneda unconsciously showed a happy smile, with a shy blush on her face.

Takeuchi Sora saw her expression and seemed to be aware of something, so Sakamoto Chinatsu immediately changed the subject.

"Aren't you talking about what I should give my cousin? ... It seems that the topic has not been developed properly."

"I think as long as it is a gift for the sake of the other party, it must have a special meaning. What kind of things does Qianxia-san's cousin usually like?" Inoue Kyo smiled brightly, fighting the strangeness made by Sora Takeuchi and Chika Haneda The atmosphere was broken, so Sakamoto Qianxia silently gave her a thumbs up in her heart.

"Well... my cousin likes things like machinery and electronics, but these seem to be too expensive. If you buy him something that is too expensive, he won't like it."

"Is it okay to add handmade ones?" Chika Haneda thought for a while, since Chika Sakamoto attached so much importance to this gift-giving, there must be her reasons.As a friend, she also hopes to help her. "I'm going to ask my dad, see if he has any ideas for some simple mechanical gadgets?"

"But... won't this disturb his work?"

"If you come to my house during the holidays, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Then thank you."

"If there is a handmade product with mechanical elements, your cousin will probably like it."

Takenouchi Sora and Inoue Kyo watched their conversation in a daze, Haneda Chika seemed to have solved the purpose of their gathering here today with a few words.The topic disappeared all of a sudden, and as a result, the four of them sat in place without making a sound, and the atmosphere became awkward.

"Speaking of presents... I'm going on a graduation trip in a few days, what kind of souvenirs do you want?"

In front of these seniors who have given him a lot of care, no matter in the real world or the digital world, Inoue Kyo felt that he had to buy souvenirs for them, and everyone who had a good relationship on weekdays should also give them.

"You don't need to spend too much, but if you want to buy it, you can buy food." Haneda Chika thought that the black big-eared beast likes different kinds of snacks, and if the souvenir is food, it will be very happy.

"My opinion is the same as Chika's." Sakamoto Chika smiled gently. If the present was something to eat, her brother would happily eat it.

Takeuchi Sora's original opinion was that simple trinkets are fine, and she has no intention of accepting gifts, but seeing the two people who have such a tacit understanding, she can only say: "Well... just be like them. "

"I understand!"

Jing Shangjing smiled, it turned out that the seniors were so greedy, today I really saw another side of them.

Wu Neikong sighed, forget about her image in the hearts of the younger generation, whatever, whatever...

In the manga, she might have had a black line of frustration appearing on her head.

***

Sakamoto Qianxia took Inoue Kyo to persuade her younger brother to let Dudumonu go, leaving only Takeuchi Sora and Haneda Chika in the room.

"Qianhua, that...Actually, I asked Qianxia to invite you to today's party." She smiled wryly, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch Chika Haneda's head, but found that she was no longer the height of that time, nor was she only able to understand Bravery, but will rely on her that girl again.

"I have never had a chance to talk to you properly... After we came back from the digital world, you drifted away from us, and I comforted Taichi, it was because you worked hard to grow, we can only endure..." Takeuchi Sora A shadow of loneliness was cast on his face, but he continued to tell the girl in front of him: "Actually, that's not just what I told Taiyi, but also what I told myself..."

"Qianhua doesn't rely on me anymore, it makes me so lonely."

"null……"

"Taiyi made you angry in the past, and you would come to complain to me and ask me to teach him a lesson. However, during the spring break of that year, he was the one who made me angry, and you came to comfort me." She lowered her head, as if to remember. "When you told us that you have been adventuring with us in the digital world, I was surprised but also very happy, and I want to convey this to you."

Chika Haneda sighed, and looked at her with a smile. It turned out that she, who had always had the image of a big sister, would show this expression.

"After you confessed, I didn't have a chance to talk to you properly. But you, Mimi and Taichi seem to have returned to the original good relationship, and I seem to be excluded."

Just a few days ago, Yagami Taichi discussed with her again about Haneda Chika's recent affairs with him, and she felt that they were getting closer.But Haneda Chika no longer talks to her like before, and she silently envies him.She obviously used to be her best female friend, but now she is just an ordinary friend.

Although she knew it was childish to be unhappy over such a trivial matter, she still couldn't help thinking about it.

"I still value you very much." Chika Haneda took her hand, and the smile on her face softened. "After all, when you didn't know I existed, you often mentioned me, Sora, and I wasn't lonely when you didn't see me. Even if we don't talk about everything like before, you are still my close friend. Things won't change."

"Thank you, Chika."

Takenei Sora raised his head, and the smile on his face finally brightened.

"But you like Taichi, you only told Qian Xia but didn't tell me, it's too cunning."

"Eh?"

Haneda Chika didn't react, why did the topic suddenly change from the close friendship between girls to the girl's love concerns?No... how did she find out?

Sakamoto Qianxia, ​​who had dismissed Inoue Kyo for a while, was eavesdropping outside the door. She held her forehead and thought, this senior is really terrible.It was only a moment of strange performance that the careful she noticed.

At this moment, Inoue Kyo passed by holding the blunt beast, the corners of his mouth twitched and he looked at her and asked, "Qianxia-san... what's wrong?" When he turned around, he saw the senior leaning on the door in a strange posture, with his ears still It is so close to the door that anyone who sees it will feel strange.

"Hehe... nothing."

Sakamoto Chinatsu immediately opened the door, interrupting the conversation between the two people inside.She and Chika Haneda expressed with their eyes: Chika...I can only help you so far.

Haneda Chika suddenly felt that she could communicate with the other party with her eyes: why would Sora know?

The other party shook his head and sighed: Who told you to look like Senior Yagami, only dull people can't see it!

She was taken aback, and continued to wink and ask: Is...is it that obvious?

After Sakamoto Chinatsu nodded to her, she lowered her head in embarrassment.Inoue Kyo almost applauded them from the side, feeling that the two of them had done a very powerful thing just now.Takeuchi Sora knew about Haneda Chika's love partner, and thought of Taichi Yagami's close relationship with her best friend, and felt that he was the most cunning person.

Takeuchi Sora thought of Taiichi Yagami's expression when he mentioned Haneda Chika recently, and also thought of the shy smile she showed because of him earlier.

The feelings of these two people... are the same.

The thought of him always showing her how good she is to him made Takenei Sora angry, who made him so dull, let him continue to struggle.She thought for a while, leaned into Haneda Chika's ear and said, "Don't worry, I will keep the secret for you."

"Ah good."

She feels like something is wrong... is it an illusion?

***

After returning home, Chika Haneda finally had a long-lost parent-child conversation with her father at the dinner table.Recently, her father has been a little busy at work, and she has never had a chance to chat with him.In order to keep her father from worrying about her frequent visits to the digital world, she would chat with him about her experiences there from time to time, both as a way to share and to reassure him.

Of course, she has properly concealed some things.

"It turns out that the black big-eared beast can also 'evolve' into a 'full body'." Yumi Haneda nodded, looking at it struggling to grab the chopsticks to pick up vegetables, completely unable to imagine its appearance in other forms. "Although I don't understand it very well, it means that things are going well for you over there, right?"

"Well, it's okay." Haneda Chika downplayed the matter of Dark Battle Greymon, after all, this guy is still a threat at present. "The name of the black big-eared beast is 'Jade Rabbit Beast'. It's very handsome."

Haneda Yukai still has a child in his heart. He recalled that spring break, when he saw two "Digimon" fighting on the computer screen, he used to think they were very handsome, and now the black big-eared beast also has such a side, He was also interested to see it.

"Is that so... I really want to see it."

"Dad, do you want to see it?" Chika Haneda's eyes seemed to shine. Whenever she mentioned "Jade Rabbit Beast" to others these days, she always looked excited. It seemed that she really liked her partner's full body shape. "The next time I enter the digital world, I'll take a picture for you if I get a chance!"

"Eh?...Okay."

He couldn't refuse at all, because compared to her usual indifferent appearance, her expression was extraordinarily vivid, and the look of anticipation and joy in her eyes made it impossible to say "no".

Then, the father and daughter talked about today's events. The father talked about how a new male employee in the company had a funny... lively personality, and the daughter talked about what he said at a friend's house today.

"In the early years, our company launched a special pendant, which can be replaced with another picture by turning the gear on the back. I will find the rest of the stock and let your friends come to our house to simply assemble it next time. It will be a very special gift."

"Thank you, Dad." Haneda Chika bit her chopsticks and frowned and asked, "Will this affect Dad's work? And those small components... Qianxia will probably want to pay."

"No problem, it's the remaining inventory anyway. In terms of expenses, I'll give her a cost price."

"That should be fine." Chika Haneda laughed when she thought of her friend's smile. "Daddy, you are the best."

Haneda Yumi coughed lightly twice, and then smiled very cheerfully.Sure enough, his daughter is very cute. With her and the black big-eared beast, the two lovely little angels, it is time for him to heal his soul after returning home from get off work every day.

He didn't want to let go of such a daughter so early.

Yagami Taichi didn't know that his best female friend and the father of his future girlfriend all cursed his love path at the same time.At this time, he was still watching TV with his sister happily and ignorantly at home.

In a certain distant direction, Sakamoto Qianxia, ​​as the supporter of the relationship between these two people, suddenly felt cool behind her.

The smile she looked at her younger brother suddenly froze, as if she had an ominous premonition.

***

On the day of Inoue Kyo's graduation trip, Chika Haneda and the rest of the elementary school group failed to catch up, and Dark War Greymon destroyed another sacred stone earlier.Because the Dark Battle Greymon distorted the places it passed by, and the distortion expanded after the sacred stone was destroyed, it caused them a lot of trouble.

Chika Haneda, who originally planned to find a good place to take a good photo of the Jade Rabbit, saw that the area became deserted and a distorted black vortex appeared, and she was immediately unhappy, and she was not in the mood to take a photo.Moreover, if such a terrifying background was photographed, it would be very difficult to convince her father that she was safe in the digital world.

Obviously I promised my father...

The thought of disappointing her father made her feel more and more depressed.

Dark War Greymon was taken away by the twisted phenomenon and disappeared before their eyes.So, they were the only ones left to confront Aqilimon and Mummymon.

Chika Haneda was in a very upset mood.

"Are you guys trying to fight? But, just a few of you are not enough to watch."

Haneda Chika knows that when Kazujoji Ken and Inoue Kyo are not around, the only one who can fight against the perfect body in front of her is her black big-eared beast.She stood in front first, looked at them with a sneer: "Stop talking so much nonsense, just come if you want to fight."

The black big-eared beast evolved into Wutumon first, and other companions evolved one after another.

"Wutumon has super-evolved──Jade Rabbitmon."

With the help of the Jade Rabbit, Akiri and Mummy are at a disadvantage, but the opponent is very flexible and easily trips up its huge body. Fortunately, with the assistance of other companions, the battle situation is still deadlocked.Haneda Chika was not in a hurry, she looked at the digital terminal first, first Kyo Inoue asked everyone for help, saying that a Digimon appeared in Kyoto, and the next letter was sent by Izumi Koshiro, saying that he has asked Kazujoji to deal with it up.

"Looks like Ichijoji will be here soon." Chika Haneda was in a significantly worse mood than before, sitting between her partner's purple tie, seeing that the Digimon of the other companions had already untied their opponents, she felt relieved down. "Come on, Jade Rabbit Beast, we still have to take pictures."

"I see."

After the steady voice of the Jade Rabbit Beast came from her ears, the scenery in front of her eyes changed rapidly, and she and it came to the sky in just a moment.Taking advantage of the fact that the mummified beast retreated beside the Akirimon, it whispered to its partner, "Catch it", and then turned its hands into "treasure axes" to chop down on them below. When they hurriedly avoided, it used "Parts bombing", spinning and attacking like a tornado, knocking them all away in different directions.

At this time, the sage of Yicheng Temple came.After Flying Insectmon and V-Zaimon EX launched the "combined evolution", they are side by side with Jade Rabbitmon, ready to deal with the two Digimon in front of them.

Akirimon and Mummymon were not their opponents at all, so Haneda Chika who was in a bad mood subconsciously made a mockery.

"Ah, didn't you say that we are not enough to look at as opponents? What is the way of worshiping us now with all four legs facing the sky? No, you have six legs, right? How should we describe it?"

The Akiri beasts who were hit in the sand were enraged, but they were indeed not their opponents, so they could only retreat.Just after it changed back to human form, Dark War Greymon returned to the digital world from the real world under the distortion phenomenon, and it would be meaningless for it to fight these children any longer.

"It's back... Mummy Beast, let's go!"

"Yes!"

The Mechadramon was bound by the mummy's bandages, but it was easily untied.They chased to the edge of the cliff, and Daisuke Motomiya looked at them angrily and said, "Do you want to escape?"

"I don't have time to play with you brats."

After being placed on the ground by her partner, Haneda Chika clasped her hands in front of her chest and said coldly in a voice that they could hear on purpose: "You ran away because you couldn't beat us. Every time you appear in front of us, fight us Afterwards, I fled again, and I felt like you guys came out to perform and entertain us.”

Akirimon was so angry that he kicked the car on the seat, turned his head and said to them fiercely: "You little devils, don't be too happy! I will definitely destroy the remaining five sacred stones!"

When watching their car go away, Haneda Chika was stunned, why did they specifically tell them the information that "there are five more sacred stones"?

"Did it lose its mind with anger, or did it lose its IQ when it buried its head in the sand just now?" Chika Haneda snorted coldly, and continued, "Since we know the five sacred stones, that means we can do it no matter what. have to guard those stones five more times." Also, they had to face Dark War Greymon at least five times.

"If all five sacred stones are destroyed..."

"The distortion phenomenon in the digital world will become more serious."

Ichijoji Ken learned this news from a discussion with Izumi Koshiro earlier. He was not a person who likes to speak out, but under Chika Haneda's cold eyes, he still spoke out like everyone else. "... Izumi-san discussed some things before, and he also thinks that if the digital world loses balance, something serious will happen."

It seems that she needs to ask Quan Guangzilang what he discussed in private and what conclusion he came to.Chika Haneda felt that Mikoko Izumi, as the staff behind them, seemed to have conducted some investigations that they didn't know about in private.

Daisuke Motomiya noticed that Haneda Chika's mocking words were more than usual, and it seemed that he was in a bad mood.

"Hikaru, do you know what happened to Chika-san?"

"Sister Qian said before that she wanted to come to take some photos of Jade Rabbit Beast today." Yashen Guang also lowered his voice, and whispered with them. "Perhaps it was hindered by the appearance of Akirimon and others, and Dark War Greymon made this place look like this again, so..."

"This is the case in the digital world, she still has the mood to take pictures!?"

"Daisuke, don't talk about Sensei like that, she must have her own reasons."

"If you can get Qianhua sister to take a good photo, she will get rid of her anger."

"The question is, is there such a place around here?..."

"That..." Ikjoji Ken suddenly joined their conversation, making them stunned. Daisuke Motomiya saw Haneda Chika glanced at them, and quickly pulled Ikjoji over, forming a group of low voices. We discussed it aloud.

"I know there is a place with a good view nearby. Not long ago, Motomon and I destroyed the Dark Tower there, so..."

"That's it!"

After Hikaru Yagami told Chika Haneda about the matter, she finally relaxed after seeing her frowning.

"I don't care about this kind of thing, you don't need to bother so much."

After Yagami Guang and everyone looked at each other, he smiled helplessly and nodded.

Want to say why they have such a concerted discussion?Because once Chika Haneda is in a bad mood, she can't help but use a few colder words than usual to ridicule things that don't please her, especially when facing enemies, she will never show mercy.

As companions, firstly, they don't want to spoil the friendly atmosphere, and secondly, they still think about Chika Haneda as a "good teammate".

Yicheng Temple Xian didn't quite understand this point, he was dragged into it, but unexpectedly gained a lot of favorability in everyone's mind.

Haneda Chika finally took a photo with Jade Rabbitmon and everyone. Although I feel a little sorry for Inoue Kyo and her partner who were not there on a trip, they stand together in harmony with the beautiful scenery unique to the digital world. This photo is indeed worth collecting.

Today is still a beautiful day.

***

After returning home, Haneda Chika sat at the desk and finished today's homework.She glanced at the calendar, and before she knew it, it was already November.

Christmas is next month, and in the past she would give presents to the Yagami brothers and sisters.

She remembered the previous conversation at Sakamoto's house.

In fact, what they said is correct, always giving those things to Yagami Taichi, it is really no different from giving gifts to the younger brother next door.Since last year, she has given accessories to Iori Yagami, but her brother's is a ball pen with a football pattern printed on it.

At that time, he said to her with a wry smile: "How much do I like football in your heart..."

Because he is a "football idiot".

She thinks so, of course it's just a joke.

This year, she noticed her love intentions, even if she didn't plan to confess, she was going to hide her feelings in her heart...

It's not impossible for her to give him a gift that contains her heart, right?

She turned to look at the cabinet, and took out a few knitting reference books that she had bought in the past.

There is still more than a month left, so she will try to knit a scarf for that boy.

The author has something to say: update on Saturday, make up tomorrow on Sunday.

It seems that I have to be complained by everyone to change the update time... or something like that [cover face]

I got up early on Saturday, and after coding for a while at night, I felt sleepy and went to bed.

I was typing in a hurry just now, halfway through the coding... the keyboard is broken.

broken.

broken......

How bad is my character!

As a result, I quickly bought a new one nearby. 【kneel】

One of the Enter keys on the broken keyboard does not work, and pressing the space key still responds as "b"....Is this mocking me for being a joke!

Dad Haneda: My company also has a funny guy, is it your relative?

Chihuahua: Definitely.

Black Big Eared Beast: Just say yes! 【Raising paw】

(I have all kinds of brains about the story of my father in the company and the newcomer with Dou, but it has nothing to do with Qianhua, so I can only keep it in my heart.)
