Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

"What's more, your partners aren't here..."

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Koushiro, unable to bear it any longer, reached out and covered his mouth.

"Stop talking!" Koushiro said in a low voice, his tone full of exasperation: "Can't you think of something nice? Are you cursing us?"

Even with his mouth covered, Bai Yu didn't stop talking, still mumbling indistinctly, "Mmm... honest advice is hard to swallow... mmm... aren't you the steady type? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I..." Koushiro was speechless for a moment, his face turning slightly red.

The scene of the two struggling was witnessed by someone not far away.

The man's expression instantly turned angry.

How dare you bully my brother!

Without saying a word, the man rolled up his sleeves and charged towards Bai Yu and Guang Zilang, who were struggling together.

He also let out a righteous and resounding shout: "Koushiro, I'm here to save you!"

Before the words were even finished, the person had already rushed forward, leaped up suddenly, and kicked Bai Yu in the back!

Upon hearing the sudden commotion, Shiraha almost instinctively grabbed Koushiro and whirled around.

I just wanted to see who was calling out "Kujiro" from behind.

However, it was this very turn that...

The powerful kick landed squarely on Koushiro's face, just as his eyes widened in terror.

"Uh!"

Koushiro didn't even have time to let out a scream.

Bai Yu was also startled by this sudden situation and released his grip.

Then, Koushiro drew a short parabola in the air and slammed his back heavily into the big tree behind him.

Then, it bounced back off the tree trunk and fell face down on the ground with a "plop".

Chapter 43: Alright, Taiichi, don't think I don't know what you're up to.

This sudden kick plunged the entire scene into an eerie silence.

In the air, only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the faint noise coming from the playground not far away could be heard.

The attacker, having successfully landed with a single kick, crossed his arms in front of his chest, striking what he considered an incredibly cool pose.

He even slightly turned his head, using the corner of his eye to glare at the enemy he had "killed with one blow."

However, what he saw was Bai Yu standing there unharmed, with a complex expression on his face that was a mixture of surprise, astonishment, and speechlessness.

"Tai... Taiichi... what are you doing?" A weak, pained voice, with a heavy nasal tone, struggled to come from the ground.

Koushiro, who was lying on the ground, slowly raised his head. On his face was a clear shoe print, and two bright red streams were slowly flowing from his nostrils.

Who else could it be but Yagami Taichi, rushing over to "protect" him while shouting and yelling?

Bai Yu carefully examined the boy in front of him.

He had his signature hair and was wearing a school uniform.

That face was full of sunshine and vitality, exactly like the boy Bai Yu had seen countless times on television in her memory.

I never expected to meet this legendary popular male lead in this way.

Hearing that familiar voice, Yagami Taichi shifted his gaze from Shiraha to the ground.

When Tai saw that the person lying on the ground was Koushiro and the terrible state of his face, he was completely dumbfounded.

He could no longer maintain that cool pose, and his arms, which had been crossed in front of his chest, fell stiffly to his sides.

Taiichi's eyes widened like bronze bells as he exclaimed, "Koushiro? How come you're the one lying on the ground?!"

Koushiro wiped the blood from his nose with the back of his hand and looked at his friend with a resentful expression.

"What do you think? Why don't you guess?" Koushiro's voice was weak, but the resentment in it was almost tangible, piercing through Taiichi's chest.

"Uh..." Taiyi's face instantly turned bright red. He awkwardly scratched his messy hair and stammered, "I made a mistake, I made a mistake... I didn't mean to..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taiyi turned his head sharply, turning all his embarrassment and guilt into raging anger.

Taiichi glared at the innocent-looking Bai Yu and shouted righteously, "It's all this guy's fault! Koushiro, you wait, I'll get revenge for you right now!"

With that, Taiyi clenched his fist, roared, and threw a punch at Bai Yu!

Bai Yu was speechless as he watched this unreasonable guy charge at him.

Although I don't know why Taiyi is shouting for me to be killed.

But faced with this powerful punch, Bai Yu reacted quickly, simply shifting his body slightly to the side to easily dodge the attack.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yu's right hand shot out like lightning and precisely grabbed Taiyi's wrist.

His left hand moved upwards and gently rested on Taiyi's elbow joint.

"Get! Transform! Get! Go!"

Bai Yu exerted force with his wrist and arm at the same time, following the momentum of Taiyi's forward rush, and gently pulled and twisted!

Taiyi instantly felt a subtle force travel along his arm, causing him to lose his balance and fall uncontrollably to the side and backward.

"what!"

Taiyi let out a startled cry, completely bewildered by what had happened, before his vision suddenly spun around.

Just then, Koushiro, who had just caught his breath, was struggling to get up from the ground. He had just propped himself up with his arms and hadn't even had time to stand up when he felt a darkness above him and a figure descend from the sky.

"Oh!"

Taiichi, who was flipped over by Bai Yu's skillful move, landed squarely on Koushiro's back.

"Ugh—!"

A piercing scream erupted from Koushiro's mouth as his upper body, which had just straightened up, slammed heavily back to the ground once more.

This time, Koushiro didn't even have the strength to lift his head. He could only lie on the ground like a salted fish, motionless.

Because there was a thick human cushioning pad underneath him, Taiichi was unharmed.

She quickly scrambled to her feet and frantically helped Koushiro, who was lying on the ground and almost breathless, to his feet.

"Koushiro, are you alright?"

Koushiro's eyes were filled with endless resentment. He raised his hand and pointed to his nose, which was still bleeding slowly.

Do I look like I'm alright?

"I didn't mean to, it's all his fault!" Taiyi's face was full of guilt, but his words remained tough, pointing the finger at Bai Yu who was watching the show from the side.

Taiyi glared fiercely at Baiyu, clenching his fists again, as if about to charge forward.

But as the image of that effortless takedown flashed through his mind, Taiichi hesitated and withdrew his outstretched hand.

Tai leaned close to Koushiro's ear and said in what he thought was a very soft voice, "Koushiro, this guy's trained, he's tough to deal with. I'll go get Yamato, Joe, and Takeru, and we'll gang up on him!"

Koushiro grabbed Taichi, who was about to turn around and shake him.

With a nosebleed streaming down his face, Koushiro looked at his companion speechlessly with an expression of utter disbelief: "Taichi, you've got it wrong. This is my friend, Shiraha."

After saying that, Koushiro turned to Shiraha and introduced him, "This is Taiichi, you should know him."

Bai Yu's smile remained bright as she handed out her business card to the bewildered Taiyi and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, this is my business card."

At this point, Taiyi knew perfectly well that he had made a mistake.

Her face flushed red instantly, and she became very embarrassed.

"Oh? Hello, hello, I'm so sorry, I thought..."

While Taiyi apologized incoherently, he subconsciously accepted the business card that Bai Yu handed him.

Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "It's okay, anyway, the person you've wronged isn't me."

Taiichi turned his head stiffly, only to meet Koushiro's resentful gaze.

Taiyi immediately chuckled sheepishly and quickly shifted his gaze to the business card in his hand, trying to defuse the awkward situation.

"Digital mercenaries?"

Taiyi looked at the peculiar title on the business card and subconsciously read it aloud. He then looked up at Baiyu with a surprised expression.

"You're also one of the chosen ones?"

Faced with Taiyi's surprised gaze, Baiyu nodded decisively.

Bai Yu is no longer bothered by this problem.

I am a chosen child, not a constant choice, but a choice of the world, a choice of the system, a choice of transmigration.

In short, that's fine.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Taiichi's expression instantly became incredibly excited.

This was actually the first time he had seen the other chosen children besides the eight of them.

"Really?! That's great!"

Taiyi completely changed his attitude towards Baiyu, abandoning his previous angry demeanor.

He took a few steps forward, grabbed Bai Yu's arm enthusiastically, and shook it vigorously.

"Hello, hello! My name is Taichi Yagami! What kind of Digimon is your partner? When were you chosen?"

Taiyi bombarded him with a barrage of questions, like a machine gun.

That stance really caught Bai Yu off guard for a moment.

"Hey! Taichi!"

Beside him, Koushiro took out tissues from his pocket and stuffed them into his still-bleeding nostrils.

Then, seeing Taiyi's excessive enthusiasm, she pulled him over in an annoyed manner.

"Take it easy, others have important business to attend to!"

Although they were just fooling around, Bai Yu had been keeping an eye on Ichijouji Ken on the bench not far away.

Koushiro noticed this very clearly.

However, Koushiro's words had no effect; instead, they only energized Tai.

"Important business? What important business? Do you need my help?" Taiyi's eyes gleamed with curiosity and excitement as he looked at Baiyu and asked.

Bai Yu didn't hide anything and briefly explained the situation to Taiyi.

When Taiichi heard that a trainer had been kidnapped and the suspect was nearby, his eyes immediately lit up.

It was a gleam of eager anticipation, as if the hunter had found its prey.

Taiichi suddenly turned his head and looked at Ichijouji Ken, who was quietly reading a book not far away.

He rolled up his sleeves again, patted his chest at Bai Yu, and said with an air of entitlement, "I'll help you! That brat, right?"

"How dare he do such a heinous thing! I'll teach him a lesson!"

"I guarantee I'll beat him until he tells the whole truth!"

Before he could finish speaking, Taiyi was about to rush over.

"Don't!"

"do not want!"

Shiraha and Koushiro's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly grabbed Taiichi from both sides, holding him back tightly.

Bai Yu advised with a slight headache, "Don't act rashly. Our current plan is to avoid alerting the enemy!"

Koushiro was even more furious, grabbing Taichi's arm forcefully: "Taichi, just shut up! Stop causing trouble here!"

Holding him back by the two, Taiichi looked quite displeased. He struggled and retorted to Koushiro, "How am I causing trouble? I'm helping, okay?"

"For disobedient brats like this, I'm telling you, you don't need anything else, just give him a good beating, and he'll be obedient!"

Upon hearing this, Koushiro rolled his eyes speechlessly, his voice sounding somewhat muffled due to his stuffy nose.
