I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

Hmph, don't think that just because Eight-Legged Horsemon isn't a humanoid Digimon it doesn't have wings! Those golden things on Eight-Legged Horsemon's back are its wings!

That's right, that's proof of the power of the eight-legged horse beast!

Why do you think the heavily injured Gyromon was able to seal Gallantmon beneath the glacier? Was it because of the protagonist's plot armor? Was it because of the needs of the story?

No, none of those, it's all about ability!

I, the Eight-Legged Horse Beast, have that kind of strength!

However, although we know that there are different ranks within the Royal Knights, in reality there are not many different ranks within the Royal Knights.

Apart from the aloof hermit Alphamon, no other Digimon could keep the remaining Royal Knights in check.

Therefore, after Gallantmon took the initiative to offer to deal with Pidgemon and Sayuri, LordKnightmon, who was also kneeling on one knee, made a mocking sound.

LordKnightmon, the king who rules over all Knightmon, is one of the Royal Knights. LordKnightmon's code of good and evil is to be true to what he believes to be 'justice'. As long as he thinks it is right, he doesn't care if he has to do anything to achieve it.

Even if it's controlled by force.

If it can bring about a certain degree of peace, LordKnightmon can find value in it.

At the same time, LordKnightmon is a Digimon that believes in the survival of the fittest and has no pity for the weak.

Rather than saying LordKnightmon is a knight of justice in the Royal Knights, it would be more accurate to say that LordKnightmon is simply a villain who believes in the law of the jungle.

Was this character designed as a villain from the beginning?

It must be, right? It must be!

"Gallantmon, this is not pretty at all. It was your fault for letting Mizukimon escape. Yggdrasil is already being exceptionally lenient by not punishing you. As a pardoned Digimon, you should stay quietly to the side and not say a word."

"A loser should act like a loser!"

"World Tree, leave this mission to me. As a traitor to the Royal Knights, I will use my methods to kill Mitsubomon and that Chosen Child... I will make it understand what the price is for betraying the Royal Knights and the Digital World."

After mocking Gallantmon, LordKnightmon volunteered to Yggdrasil to take care of Kusanagimon himself.

Crimson Knightmon, having been mocked, frowned and prepared to say something.

"Lord Knightmon, you!"

However, before Gallantmon could speak, Omegamon raised its hand to stop it.

It shook its head at Gallantmon, signaling Gallantmon to stop talking.

Seeing his friend do this, he was very unhappy, but since things had already come to this, he decided to remain silent.

So, Crimson Knightmon could only grunt and then fell silent.

The other royal knights, however, seemed completely unconcerned, as if they hadn't noticed the conflict at all.

But that's normal. That's how it is inside the Royal Knights. They seem to act together, but they're actually at odds. Without the World Tree, it wouldn't be surprising if they fell apart at any time.

After listening to their conversation, World Tree pondered for a moment, then said without a trace of emotion, "Since this matter was caused by Gallantmon, then Gallantmon shall take responsibility for it!"

"Gallantmon, this matter is entrusted to you. Omegamon, you will accompany Gallantmon!"

"The World Tree!?"

Lord Knightmon was startled by what he heard and immediately raised his head, wanting to say something, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yggdrasil.

"This is my decision, LordKnightmon."

A simple sentence left LordKnightmon speechless, and he could only lower his head in acknowledgment.

"Yes, the World Tree..."

Meanwhile, Crimson Knightmon, having received permission, beamed with joy and bowed his head without hesitation, replying, "Yes!"

"I will definitely capture the Fox-like Beast this time and let the World Tree decide its fate!"

"Bet on the name of knighthood"

Chapter 129 Apricot's Coffee? Dangerous Little Lily!

"I'm so sorry, Omegamon, I'll need you to come with me on this mission."

Beyond the enormous, towering tree, Gallantmon and Omegamon floated silently in mid-air.

Having received their mission, they are now preparing to set off to find Kusanagimon and Sayuri. Before setting off, Kusanagimon, as a friend, still has to apologize to Omegamon.

For a task like this, Omegamon doesn't actually need to intervene; it can handle it all by itself.

Severely injured by the combined attack of four Royal Knights, the Pidgemon no longer had the strength to evolve into a Gyromon. One of them was enough to capture it.

What? A slip-up?

How could I possibly make a mistake?

Absolutely impossible!

If it misses, it will devour the entire Omegamon on the spot!

"There's no need to thank me. Although the Foxmon no longer has the power it once had, it is still one of our members, and now it has the Chosen Children as its partners. No one knows what kind of power they will possess."

"The World Tree made the right choice by sending the two of us together."

"No, I didn't say that the choice of the World Tree was wrong. I just felt that I could complete the mission on my own."

Hearing his friend say that, Crimson Knightmon gently shook his head.

It crossed its arms over its chest and stared straight ahead.

"I may not be the strongest knight among the Royal Knights, but I am confident that I am the most loyal knight!"

"Yes, I believe you, Crimson Knightmon."

Your loyalty is absolutely unmatched!

Hmm... It might sound a little strange to say it like that, but in the lore, Gallantmon is truly the most loyal knight.

Although I am the most enthusiastic tree cutter, and although I doubt the decisions of the World Tree every day, I, Gallantmon, am the most loyal knight in the setting!

No one understands loyalty better than me!

"Alright, let's go!"

"Ah."

As the words fell, Omegamon and Gallantmon flew off into the distance...

------

Unaware of Gallantmon and Omegamon's actions, Yuri and her group were embarking on a journey while simultaneously undergoing training.

At first, the Fox-like Beast thought that Mukai Kyoko's training was a bit too harsh and that Sayuri wouldn't be able to handle it. However, after seeing Sayuri jump up energetically the next day, the Fox-like Beast knew that Shiromu was right.

Indeed, the chosen children were all extraordinary.

After undergoing such training for the first time, Sayuri, who had never trained before, was able to stand up as if nothing had happened.

Moreover, it seems capable of handling even larger training scales.

Goodness, this goes against common sense, doesn't it?

Realizing this, the Foxmon stopped worrying about Sayuri's health. Coincidentally, Sayuri began training, and the Foxmon also began to accumulate its own power.

It can accumulate divine power to heal its injuries and also to fight enemies. Now that there are no enemies, it has just the right time to accumulate power.

Moreover, ever since the Foxmon sensed the same sacred power from the White Curtain and learned that the sacred power of the Digimon named 'Aibara Takumi' was even greater than its own, it has been relying on the White Curtain.

While resting on the white curtain, he absorbed the divine power emanating from it.

It had a premonition that in a little while, it would be able to re-evolve.

Sayuri is getting stronger and stronger, and so am I. After this special training ends, Sayuri and I should be able to reach a whole new level!

The fox-like beast thought this, and it longed for it just as much.

In fact, Shiro was aware of what the Foxmon was thinking, after all, he guessed it when he saw the Foxmon absorbing power on his shoulder the next day.

He just didn't quite understand the fox-like beast's actions.

"Kanko-monster, is this really a good idea?"

"The most important thing for a Digimon partner with a human is the power of the heart. Even now that you have recovered from your injuries and re-evolved through my divine power, that is still your power, not combined with Sayuri's power."

"You can't possibly get any stronger like this."

"And Sayuri doesn't share your feelings, which makes her less than ideal as a chosen one. Are you sure you're okay with this?"

Indeed, normally speaking, the bond between Digimon and humans is the most important factor in the function and power of the Digivice. Without this, whatever it is, it is meaningless.

The current Mizukimon and Sayuri have only known each other for a short time. Even if they were chosen as the saviors of this era, it's impossible for them to evolve without any communication, right?

You're not acting like a protagonist anymore, you're acting like a cheater.

We're playing a normal RPG game. If you suddenly pull out a 4399 invincible version of a mini-game, the art style will obviously be off, right?

However, the tube fox beast expressed a different opinion.

"I am here to regain my strength, and Sayuri is constantly growing stronger. We both aspire to become stronger and help each other. This is our shared understanding... When we have completed our accumulation and are together again, the Divine Plan will naturally respond to our bond."

"..."

Wow, they're separating now to break free from dependency and become stronger together, then reuniting when the time is right, and becoming even stronger...

Kagami and Kuroko, right? You guys are playing basketball.

But Kagami and Kuroko only separated after losing to Aomine; they had been working together for so long before that.

Are you sure it's okay that you separated without any preparation?

What? They were preparing to evolve, but I interrupted them?

Who interrupted?

Me? Well, that's fine then.

Hmm, good decision. As expected of the Fox-like Beast, so calm!

And so, the Foxmon and Sayuri began their training under White Curtain and Kyoko Mukai, respectively. Although their journey was much slower, their pace quickened every day, and Sayuri was becoming more and more mature each day compared to when she first started.

Two weeks later, Little Lily had perfectly transformed and successfully graduated...

Besides her flat chest, Sayuri is increasingly exuding a mature aura.
