Since month has already passed since their final battle with leviathan, Haru Shinkai was glad that everything ended as well as it did, he thought as he step down from the train.

"So this is Fuyuki city... It look so old right Haru?" Gatchmon said from beside him, flying around him in his chip form.

"Yeah," Haru nodded. "I read somewhere that there was a fire around ten year ago and it caused the construction here to be halted indefinitely." Haru explained.

"Fire? Let me look it up." Gatchmon pulled the magnifying glass on his helmet down and started to use his search app ability. "Fuyuki fire happens in 2035... xxx number of life was loss... Only one confirmed wounded survive? The cause of fire... Gas leak? ...That is all I can get." Gatchmon pull up his magnifying glasses back. "Something is definitely fishy here, what do you think Haru?"

"I agree, I guess that is why he told us to investigate." Haru walked out of the station, his 'guardian' should be here soon.

"Is it alright doing this only with the the two of us though? I mean we should take Astra, Eri or at least Rei with us..." Gatchmon said.

"A famous Apptuber or a famous idol will definitely gain attention when they come to a town in the middle of nowhere and Rei-kun is still taking care of Hajime-kun, and I don't want to worry them unless it was necessary... Of course I will immediately call them if it something both of us can't handle." Haru reassured Gatchmon.

"Hey now, look at you trying to take care of thing yourself. I still remember you cowering under your bedsheet you know?" Gatchmon teased. "Still, without Timemon and Charismon we need to be careful." Gatchmon said I seriously.

"I know." Haru nodded.

"Heyyyyyy!" Haru heard a voice that seemed to be calling for him, it almost sound like the roar of a tiger.

"Hey!" A woman with short hair who's probably in her twenty ran straight toward him before stopping right in front of him.

"Yo! Sorry I'm late." The woman wave her hand. "I'm Fujimura Taiga, your guardian for the duration of your stay here, You are Haru Shinkai correct? Oh boy! When they say to look for a boy with anime hair they aren't kidding." The one named Taiga look at Haru green hair and yellow goggled.

"No, no it's fine," Haru shake his head. "Yeah, I get that a lot. Thank you for taking me in Fujimura-san." Haru bow slightly in show of gratitude.

"Fujimura Taiga huh..." Gatchmon float beside him without Fujimura-san noticing, Appmon are invisible to human without an Applidriver after all. "Let me look it up! Taiga Fujimura, daughter of Raiga Fujimura, former Yakuza..!? Oi! Oi! What did he get us into?" Gatchmon complained, Haru resist the urged to nod in agreement as he doesn't want Fujimura-san to think of him as strange.

Haru sit in Seiza position as he comes face to face with the former Yakuza, Raiga Fujimura. "My name is Haru Shinkai, thank you for letting me live here for mean time." Haru bowed slightly.

"Hahaha," The old Yakuza laughed. "You are so different from Denemon that I won't recognize you are his grandson at a first glance."

Haru was surprised that this man knows his grandfather. "You know of my grandfather?"

"Of course! We were friend, I still remember clearly how high his voice is, he was a strange man but he was also very sharp, you should see how much trouble we make when we were young." Raiga smile, remembering nostalgic time.

"Ha...ha..." Haru laughed awkwardly, he know his grandfather voice quite well, Especially when he appeared as Hyper Mari-

"Taiga show him his will room will you?" Raiga said to his daughter.

"Yes dad." Taiga look at Haru. "Come on Haru-kun."

"Ah, ok." Haru stood up. "Thank you for the hospitality." Haru bowed again to Raiga Fujimura before following Taiga to his new room.

"This is where you live during your exchange program, I hope you enjoy it!" Taiga shows him his new room; a 10x10 traditional Japanese style room complete with futon.

Haru suddenly reminded of their very dangerous hot spring vacation...

"Thank you Fujimura-san." Haru bowed.

"No problem, by the way Haru-kun, I notice that you didn't bring anything with you?" Fujimura said.

"Ah, don't worry about it Fujimura-san. My belonging would arrive tonight by mail." Haru said, he just hoped that Mailmon didn't get side tracked again. "Fujimura-san, now that I have some time before my belongings arrive can I look around and get myself used to the place?" Haru asked.

"Sure, are you fine being by yourself?" Fujimura-san asked.

"I am." Haru nodded.

-0-

"So why are we going to Ryoudou temple first Haru?" Gatchmon asked, curious as to why they didn't go to the fire site and goes to this temple instead.

Haru legs keep stepping forward on what feel like an endless stairs. "The fire site and Ryoudou temple is where the reported suspicious activity begin, I just decide to do this place rather than the other way around but we definitely going to the fire site too, I just have a feeling that we're definitely going to find something here."

"Okay." Gatchmon shrugged, there is no harm in following his gut feeling and given that Haru is feeling is more likely to be right than wrong either help.

Haru and Gatchmon entered the temple, immediately both of them feel something unnatural.

"Gatchmon..." Haru take out his Applidrive Duo and realize Gatchmon.

"Okay, let's begin the search!" Gatchmon pull down his magnifying glasses. "There is definitely something going on here Haru, there is something that is making people unable to approach here but I can't find what it is, something or someone is blocking my search."

"Let's look around and be careful." Haru said.

"Yeah." Gatchmon nodded.

They look around, the temple is eerily empty and it was definitely unnatural, it was something that an Appmon could have done.

Haru looked at the towering Buddha statue, the lone statue in this abandoned temple made him think off the movie where the statue in the museum become alive at night.

"Wait, what is that?" Haru looked at something that is lying underneath the Buddha statue. "That looks like a person... Let's check it out Gatchmon."

Haru carefully approach the figure, it was clear to him the moment he come close that it was a human wearing a robe, Haru touched the shoulder of the robed person as he slowly turned the person around and he get a clear look at the person face.

It was an older woman probably around her twenty, with her purple hairs sticking out of her robe, it look like she barely holding to consciousness.

AN: It's been a while since I done any fanfic and Appmon has been pretty good for these last few episode, it's funny seeing people complain about Appmon replacing digimon when Digimon Adventure Tri is still going, lol.

Talking about the story, the reason I send Timemon and Charismon away is because the story would have no tension otherwise, I'm looking at you "Hit one billion point around the earth" Globemon, "Fly out of atmhosphrere in a second" Satellamon and we're not even talk about the God Grade... So yeah, won't be seeing anything above Super grade for a while.
