I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

He casually placed the little lily on the ground, then crossed his arms and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Cough cough...no, it's nothing..."

Gasping for breath, Lily patted her chest and, after a while, managed to give this weak reply.

The fox-like beast in Xiaobaihe's arms slowly rose into the air. Looking at the white curtain before it, it said, "Thank you for saving me and Xiaobaihe. If it weren't for you, we would probably be dead at the hands of the demon beasts..."

"It's nothing, I just couldn't stand seeing so many of them bullying you."

Bai Mu answered casually, a smile appearing on his half-exposed face.

"Moreover, it is indeed rare for a former Royal Knight to have fallen to such a state... No, you should be the first Royal Knight to be relegated to the growth stage and then become so miserable."

"..."

The fox-like beast instinctively wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it realized that the truth seemed to be true.

As one of the Royal Knights, a being who stands above the vast majority of Digimon, he can't even defeat a Champion-level Digimon.

The fox-like beast is truly pitiful!

But... Royal Knight... does this Digimon know his identity?

The shrewd beast quickly realized that the Digimon in front of it knew its identity. If that was the case, then it meant that the Digimon also knew that it was the greatest enemy in the Digital World.

Then why would it save itself?

To the current Digital World, he is a traitor, a Digimon villain, and every Digimon in the entire Digital World has the right to kill him. Given this, why would this Digimon in front of him save him?

Can't stand seeing so many Digimon like the Demon Beast bullying him and Sayuri?

Is that all?

No, the Fox-like Beast did not believe such a reason.

But if it's not for that reason...

Could it be...?

The Digimon in front of them... is on their side!?

A glimmer of hope rose in the eyes of the fox-like beast...

Chapter 122 Another Chosen Child... Your child is so big!?

Helper... This is the idea that came to Mitsubomon after learning about Yggdrasil's thoughts and how the Digimon now view it.

In today's Digital World, it is undoubtedly a traitor, the biggest traitor. Wherever it goes, there will be Digimon who want to defeat it and kill Sayuri.

If it were in its prime, capable of evolving into an eight-legged horse beast, it wouldn't be afraid, since even if it couldn't win, it could still run away with Sayuri.

But now, it is still recovering from its injuries and its power is not fully restored. It is already struggling to fight against the Demon Beast, let alone other stronger Perfect and Ultimate Digimon.

If this continues, it and Little Lily will definitely die!

Therefore, the Pipe Fox Beast hopes to get help.

However, in order to maintain peace in the Digital World, even the Royal Knights stood against it, so how could any other Digimon become its partner?

It's not impossible for the Seven Demon Kings to be involved, after all, they've been thinking about dragging the Digital World into darkness all day long, so it's very possible that they would take this opportunity to launch a counterattack.

However, it's impossible for the Foxmon to ask the Seven Demon Kings for help.

The Seven Demon Lords are evil Digimon, and it is absolutely impossible to associate with them. As one of the former Royal Knights, it will never allow itself to become an ally of these evils!

Therefore, the idea of ​​having a helper can only remain an idea.

—Until it sees the white curtain!

If... if this 'Digimon' in front of them were willing to become their partner, their journey would be much easier!

It won't be long... just a little bit of support... just a little bit of support and it will recover from its injuries and become that powerful royal knight again!

Therefore, at this stage, even a fully-grown Digimon would be a great help to them.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the 'Digimon' in front of us is only at the Champion level. From the perspective of the 'Kanfomon', the 'Digimon' in front of us is very powerful and seems to be at the Ultimate level, but upon closer inspection, one can feel a deeper and more unfathomable depth.

The 'Digimon' in front of us is very likely an Ultimate-level Digimon!

An Ultimate form is enough to carry them through numerous difficulties, buying crucial time for its recovery!

"You want me to become your partner?"

The fox-like beast's gaze did not escape Bai Mu's eyes; that glimmer of hope shone like a star, impossible to ignore.

but......

Why should I become your partner?

"You've seen your current situation. Becoming your counterpart means standing on the opposite side of the vast majority of Digimon. Although I don't particularly like Yggdrasil's decision, it's still unlikely that I'll be at odds with the Digital World."

"Saving you is already the limit."

Bai Mu's words dimmed the eyes of the Fox Beast.

He's right. In a life-or-death situation, the vast majority of Digimon will choose to protect their home, and even those who disagree with the decision will remain silent. The pressure of fighting against Yggdrasil and the entire Digital World is simply too immense.

Moreover, if they fail, the entire Digital World will be destroyed.

Such consequences and responsibilities are not something any Digimon can bear.

The 'Digimon' in front of us is risking being labeled a traitor to help them; that's already the limit. Asking for more is impossible...

"I'm so sorry... I misspoke..."

The wicker lowered its head slightly, realizing how naive its idea of ​​needing help was.

...No, it's not naive, it's asking the impossible.

Saving the human world and the Digital World is a great idea, but while having this idea, one must also bear the pressure that the Digital World will be destroyed as a result.

What kind of pressure and responsibility is it to bear the weight of the world's demise on your shoulders?

Mitsubomon was able to withstand such pressure because it was once a Royal Knight and possessed great strength, while Sayuri simply didn't realize these things and therefore didn't have a real sense of them. However, the 'Digimon' in front of her had completely grown up and had its own thoughts and ideas.

It can clearly feel this responsibility and pressure!

Trying to place such pressure and responsibility on it... that's going too far...

But just as the fox-like beast was blaming itself for its thoughts, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from the side.

"Alright, stop teasing the fox spirit, Takumi."

The sudden sound made the fox-like beast and Little Lily instinctively look over.

—Over there, under a big tree, stood a very pretty young woman...

She had long golden hair, a white shirt, and two ribbon-like things that fell from her shoulders and tied around her lower abdomen. She also had goggles on her head, a feature almost all Digimon protagonists have.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is... people's hearts!

What a magnanimous heart!

Little Lily looked at the large human heart and couldn't help but lower her head to look at herself...

Flat as a pan, without any ups and downs...

Sawamura Sayuri is utterly defeated!

"Human? How could this be...?"

The Fox-like Beast didn't care about the older sister's appearance; what it cared about more was that the human... the being that appeared before it was actually a human!

How could humans possibly enter the Digital World? That's simply impossible, without the guidance of Digimon...

Wait, Digimon?

"Could it be!?"

As if it had thought of something, the fox-like beast suddenly turned its gaze to the white curtain.

If humans need the help of Digimon to enter the Digital World, then the only way for humans to enter the Digital World is...

This mysterious 'Digimon' is right in front of me!

But why did this 'Digimon' bring this human in?

"You...could it be...partners!?"

Such emotions were revealed in the eyes of the tube fox beast.

For a Digimon that is friendly to humans and wants to help them, the only possibility that Mizumon can think of is a partner.

Just like it and Sayuri are partners, this Digimon and this human are also partners!

Unexpectedly... truly unexpected. It had assumed Sayuri was the only chosen child, but it turned out there was another child besides Sayuri...

Um, why is this child so big?!

Chapter 123 I Ate This World Tree on the Spot

In fact, Yggdrasil once calculated that human children possess infinite possibilities, and the beauty of their souls is very likely to resonate with Digimon, allowing Digimon to generate even greater power.

Therefore, this sacred plan was conceived from the very beginning with the children in mind.

Let human children become partners with Digimon and resonate with them.

The best age is between eight and ten years old.

When the fox-like creature discovered Sayuri, it already sensed that something was amiss.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old child... well, sixteen or seventeen is not yet an adult, so he can barely be considered a child.

But... why is this older sister in front of me also a chosen child?!

This kid is eight years old?!

"Haha... Partners? Hmm... You could call us partners, since we're indeed acting together right now."

“My name is Kyoko Kuroi, you can just call me Kyoko. And this guy’s name is Takumi Aiba, you can just call him Takumi.”

Kyoko Mukai laughed and then introduced herself.

"Kyoko Kuromi... Takumi Aiba... did he even have a human name?"
