Knights of the Digital World

"That's no problem. Are you all going?"

LadyDevimon shook her head and said:

"I have no connection with BanchoLeomon. I'm more interested in Beangate Town and want to explore it."

Angewomon held LadyDevimon's arm with one hand and waved her other hand, saying, "I'm with my sister!"

“Amitabha, this humble monk also wishes to see Doumen Town, perhaps it can offer some inspiration.”

Sanzomon said calmly. He traveled in the Digital World to experience the mortal world and pursue enlightenment, so naturally he wanted to take a good look at Beangate Town.

"Hey, you idiot, there must be a lot of tough guys in Doumen Town, right? Can I, Old Sun, even take them on?"

Wukong Beast has no interest in strolling around; he just wants to find some opponents to fight.

"If the other side agrees, then go ahead and fight. But we can't fight in Doumen Town. If we want to fight out there, we need to go further away, understand?"

The Steel Bean Beast didn't care about the tunnel.

"Since you've all made your decisions, let's split into two groups. MetalMamemon can stay with Emu and the others to meet BanchoMamemon, while those who want to go shopping can come with me. I'll be your guide."

"Soybean Beast suggested."

"Sure. By the way, Monkey, if you have the patience, wait here for a bit. I'll come back and fight you after I've seen them off. It's awful to hear you keep calling me 'lump of metal'."

Steel Bean Beast stretched out its machine gun and poked Wukong Beast.

"No problem! No problem! I'll be waiting for you here!"

Wukong Beast was overjoyed. Rather than wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly, it was better to stay here and wait for Steel Bean Beast.

Sanzomon could tell that Gokumon was the kind of person who only wanted to swing his staff at the stronger ones and had no interest in the weak. In addition, he had already made a promise with MetalMamemon, so he didn't bother with him.

"Okay, let's go then."

Steel Beanmon called out to Emu and hopped ahead to lead the way, while Big Beanmon led LadyDevimon and the others on a tour of Beangate Town.

MetalBeanmon led Emu and the other two towards the town center, saying as they walked:

"Chief Beanmon is a very gentle person, so you don't need to be too reserved. You can ask him any questions you have, and he'll be happy to answer them. Oh, we've arrived!"

MetalBeanmon led Emu and the others to a house, knocked on the door, and called out:

"BanchoMamemon! Someone wants to see you. It's a human and his Digimon partner. They say they have news related to BanchoLeomon."

"Oh? Humans, and they're involved with BanchoLeomon? Let them in."

A gentle voice came from inside the room.

Iron Bean Beast said to Emu, "You guys go in by yourselves. Like I said, don't be shy. I'm going to find that monkey to fight!"

"Thank you, Steel Bean Beast."

Emu thanked him. The Steel Bean Beast waved dismissively and skipped away.

Yongmeng thought for a moment, then deactivated his transformation, reverting to human form. He reached out and knocked on the door.

"Hello, I'm coming in."

With that, Emu pushed open the door and went inside with Parad.

The room was quite spacious and bright, with a coffee table facing the door and sofas around it. Bancho-chan was sitting on the sofa, drinking a cup of tea.

Emu quickly glanced around the room and felt it was similar to a normal human dwelling, very clean.

Bancho-Tottomon's appearance is not much different from Tottomon's, except that he is wearing Bancho's signature "school uniform". His weapon, "Golden Punishment Fighter", is placed on the coffee table. He appears very calm and gentle, without any of the aura of a top-tier Ultimate level.

"Oh, welcome. I'm Bancho Beanmon. It's been a long time since I've seen a human. Please have a seat!"

Bancho-chan put down his teacup and greeted Emu and the others.

While greeting them, Bancho-DouDoumon took out two more teacups, washed them, poured tea into two cups, and placed them in front of Emu and Parad.

"Thank you!"

Emu and Palad sat down, thanked them, and introduced themselves:

“I am Hosho Emu, you can call me Emu.”

"I am the Witch Beast, my name is Parad. Please call me by my name, thank you."

"Haha, okay. So, Emu, Parad, I heard from MetalMamemon that you have news about BanchoLeomon, is that right? Tell me about it."

The leader, Beanmon, smiled and got straight to the point.

Chapter 41, The Chief Beanmon's Thanks

"Before I begin, I'd like to ask you, BanchoMamemon, do you know what happened to BanchoLeomon?"

Instead of directly answering Bancho's question, Emu asked a question in return.

"Well... I know a little bit about it. I don't know the specific reason, but he fell out with Yggdrasil and is running around the Digital World. I don't know if you, as a human, know that Yggdrasil is a god of the Digital World. Although I don't want to admit it, we can't beat him."

The leader of the Bean Beast shrugged, somewhat helplessly, and said:

"But none of that matters, I don't care about any of that. I'll help BanchoLeomon whenever he needs me! The other guys must think the same way! We five bosses are meant to stick together through thick and thin. But I don't know what BanchoLeomon is thinking, preferring to wander the Digital World rather than fight back. He's only contacted us occasionally. I haven't been in touch with him for a long time either."

"Does that mean you can't contact BanchoLeomon?"

Parad asked with some concern.

Emu patted Palad on the shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to worry about it too much.

Their goal is to train themselves; finding BanchoLeomon is just a side matter. It would be best if they could accomplish it, but there's no need to rush if they can't.

After all, there's still Dai and the others. Although Emu has messed up the plot, the probability of BanchoLeomon and Dai meeting again is still quite high due to the shrinking world lines.

Besides, Kurata has been dealt with, and Yggdrasil has reformed. There's no need to rush to find BanchoLeomon, as it's not for any urgent matter.

They will still do their best to fulfill their duties. Like this time, they only obtained a small clue from the Beanmon, yet they traveled a long distance to visit the Bancho Beanmon. They've done everything they could; if there's no other way, it's simply not their fault.

BanchoLeomon glanced thoughtfully at Emu. Based on his life experience, he could easily tell that Emu wasn't in a great hurry to find BanchoLeomon; it seemed more like he had been commissioned by someone and had only come to inquire after hearing a clue by chance.

Judging from this, Emu and the others probably don't have any schemes against BanchoLeomon, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

The leader, Beanmon, relaxed a little, took another sip of tea, and said:

"Don't worry, even though we haven't been in touch for a long time, it's still possible to send some messages. Tell me what you want to see BanchoLeomon for, and I'll consider how to proceed."

Emu didn't hide anything and told Bancho Mamemon everything, starting with the events of the Digital Expedition Team back then.

Bancho-Mamemon wasn't entirely unaware of the outside world. A large number of Digimon came and went from Mamemon Town every day, and information exchange was frequent.

For example, MetalMamemon only knows about bio-Digimon.

Bancho-mon compared what Emu said with his own information and found that they matched up, so he knew that Emu was not lying.

After Emu finished speaking, the leader of the gang, Totomon, became even more friendly and said:

"I see. This is good news for both BanchoLeomon and Daimon. Leave it to me; I'll inform him. And you all, as fellow Digimon, I must thank you properly!"

"No need, Bancho-Mamemon. We didn't do much. The main battles were fought by Gyromon and Gallantmon. Besides, Kurata is no threat to you."

Emu scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

The leader, Beanmon, shook his head repeatedly and said:

"You can't say that. I'm not afraid, but what about the other weaker Digimon? What about the Digimon of my Bean Gate Alliance? Aren't they afraid? We should all thank you for your efforts in this matter. It's just that I don't have the face to represent all the Digimon, so I can only thank you in my personal capacity."

Emu and Parad became increasingly embarrassed by what they were being told. However, they were also secretly pleased, experiencing the thrill of being acknowledged.

They actually sacrificed a lot for the battle against Kurata. Emu sacrificed his ability to foresee the plot and also fought to the death against more than ten Gizmon ATs. Parad was seriously injured in this battle.

They deserve Bancho-chan's gratitude.

Bancho-DouDoumon thought for a moment and said:

"After much thought, I realize I don't have any outstanding qualities, except for my decent martial arts skills. It will take BanchoLeomon some time to get here after receiving the news. In the meantime, if you don't mind, I'm willing to teach you."

"Really? Thank you so much, Bancho-Toothmon!"

Emu and Parad were overjoyed upon hearing this. Wasn't their purpose in entering the Digital World to become stronger? Having a top-tier Ultimate level expert as a guide would save them from countless detours on their path to power!

"No need to thank me, you deserve it. Here's what I'll do, I'll come to see you tomorrow morning. Be prepared, my teaching style is very strict! I won't be lenient in this regard!"

The serious expression on the face of the Boss Beanmon when he spoke proved that he was not joking.

Emu and Palad naturally had no objections. A strict teacher produces outstanding students!

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, and even with an added bonus, Emu and his companion knew it was time to take their leave.

After finishing their tea, Emu and Parad bid farewell to Bancho-chan, eagerly anticipating the arrival of tomorrow.

…………

Early the next morning, Emu and Parad got up and stood at the door, looking out and waiting for Bancho-chan to arrive.

It's still early, and Doumen Town is quite deserted, unlike yesterday's bustling and lively atmosphere.

If you listen carefully, you can also hear low moans coming from Wukong Beast's room.

Yesterday, Gokumon and MetalMamemon had a fierce battle that resulted in both of them being severely injured.

Wukong Beast's body was riddled with bullet holes, and its fur was singed and uneven from the flames. After returning, it went to its room to rest.

The Steel Bean Beast had its machine gun removed from its left hand, and its entire body was smashed to pieces, requiring major repairs and replacement of new parts.

Both were very satisfied with the fight, finding it exhilarating, and agreed to have another match after they recovered. It seems they've become friends who respect each other after their encounter.

The monsters spent all their time shopping yesterday and only explored a small part of Beangate Town.

The town has undergone several reconstructions. It basically needs rebuilding after every battle. The Bean Gate Alliance also takes the opportunity to expand the town's area. Because it's expanding on the original foundation, it doesn't require too much effort.

Over time, Doumen Town has become what it is today.

The monsters decided to continue their shopping spree today, determined to explore the entire town of Beangate before they were done.

After Parad explained the situation to LadyDevimon, LadyDevimon, though a little disappointed at losing a portable fan, encouraged Parad to seize the opportunity.

With Bancho Mamemon's guidance and Emu providing ample Digimon Souls, Parad might be the first among them to evolve into an Ultimate form.

Chapter 42, Guidance

"Hey! Have you been waiting long?"

Emu and the others didn't wait long at the door before Bancho-chan appeared in their sight and waved to them.

"No, we just came out too."
