The two kids and their Digimon partners can't believe that Rika is sent to a garbage can. They ended up helping her get up from it and settle her to a bench.

"What happened, Rika?" Takato asked in concern.

"You want to know? Well, here's the story."

Rika explained the story in full detail started from how she found Renamon nearby Mizuho Corporate Bank and being attacked by her to being placed into the garbage can. She's doing all those things under the orders of Ken Kudo, whom she doesn't know his true name: Valmont.

"What? Is that true?" Henry asked also in concern. "Impossible, you and Renamon reconciled last night in the park. We all saw that so there's no way you two are in another falling out."

"This is complicated, but she acted like she only knows me as an enemy, not a friend," Rika said as if her spirit is broken from the event.

As Henry thought about this, he could find himself in suspicions of the event.

"What if... what if Renamon has amnesia? I mean, how could she ask you who you are?"

"Are you sure about that?" Terriermon asked.

"It's just a hypothesis so we won't know until we see it for ourselves," was Henry's reply.

"If that's the answer, how can we make her remember what's happening before?" Rika asked.

"Maybe if we can let her know the good times, then it can recall all her memory," Takato suggested.

"I agree with him," Guilmon said in a happy way.

Meanwhile, Valmont and his Digimon lackey, Renamon, went their way to the Nonaka household.

"Wait here. Don't be seen by anyone," he said.

"Yes, Valmont," she replied as she jumps into a tree.

The crime boss went her way to the house to see Rika's mother and grandmother in there.

"Um, hello there. You're Rika's mother and grandmother, right?"

"Who are you?" Rumiko asked.

"My name is Hiroto Aoyama, and I'm working for the social service," Valmont has taken another alias.

Hearing the last two words made the two women go to worry. Because if the company found out about Rika's behavior, they would try to take her away from them, and the two women can't just let that happen.

"Are you here to take her away from us?" Seiko asked in defense.

"No, I'm not. In fact, I'm just here to ask questions regarding her. You don't mind if I ask those questions?"

As mush as Rumiko doesn't like to be interacting with a social service team, it looks like she has no other choice.

"You want to know? Okay, I'll tell you about it."

This kind of answer brings shock to Seiko. "But, dear..."

"I'll be fine, Mom. Don't worry," she said in reassurance.

"Before I begin, are you two aware that Rika has a fox-like mascot in this house?" Valmont asked, deciding to check out if the two are aware of Rika's Digimon activities.

"No," Rumiko replied.

"Same here," Seiko also added.

"So Rika didn't tell them about Renamon, huh? Interesting. Just how antisocial she could get. Sooner or later, they'll find out and she has to get used to that," Valmont mutters to himself before focusing back to Rumiko. "Now, shall we?"

She proceeds to escort him to the backyard, the perfect place where they could talk privately of things.

"Just a simple question: why is Rika... antisocial? You know, picking fights with you and all twisted?" Valmont asked the first question.

"I don't know about that, but it might have something to do with her father's disappearance," was the mother's reply.

"Really? What happened to him?"

"We're divorced. Maybe that's why Rika's all negative and rarely respects me and my mother. Neither of us punish her for this."

"Then why didn't you two ever try to punish her?" the white-haired man asked in concern.

"Because we don't think that could solve anything," was Rumiko's reply.

"I see," Valmont remarked then asked the second question. "When was the last time you talked to her?"

"Well, the last I spoke to her, I told her about the people won't leave me alone. You know how popular I have become to this country because of my duty as a fashion model. By the way, the last time Mom talked to Rika, she's all alone in the table and said something about one thing she wouldn't understand."

During the first and second questions, Valmont started taking down the details in a notebook. He has taken the last statement in an usual way as he take note of why Rika won't tell her mother and grandmother about Renamon. He's been reading Rika's profile regarding on what had happened between her and her Digimon partner before and after the battle with IceDevimon. Not only that, but also how they make up in the park last night.

"Oh, and during that moment, I saw her holding a toy," Rumiko added.

"A toy?" Valmont realized what it means as he mutters to himself. "So she has another Digimon in here, huh?" Then he focuses back to reality. What he doesn't know is that Calumon, the other Digimon, has noticed the conversation and looks shocked. "Okay, just one more question. What did you do to make her angry?"

"Are you trying to make me look like I'm a bad mother?!" Rumiko snapped.

"No, I'm not. I'm just curious, that's all."

"I tried to get her to wear dresses, but she suddenly snapped at me for this kind of moment," was her reply.

"So she doesn't like wearing dresses? That's one thing we have in common. I never forgot that pestilent lizard Shendu forced me to wear one," Valmont remarked on himself before focusing back to the interview and also taking down the details for the question. "Now, since you answered all the questions in a good way, I'll entrust you with this."

He pulls out an envelope from the left side of his green coat and Rumiko gets a hold of it.

"What's this?"

"A letter with the full details on Rika. She's hiding something from you and your mother. I'll give you some specific instructions. Open that envelope the moment Rika is going out for a while," Valmont said in a way that if there is a Digimon, then there must have a world that kind of creature lives at. A world filled with Digimon, that is. "When that happens, open it and read the letter so you'll understand what she's been hiding. For now, don't show this to Rika or her grandmother. Hide it, but make sure it's secured so that neither of them nor the secret she has would try to find it."

"Okay, anything else?" the mother agrees with the instructions with no questions asked.

"Do you have any money? I'm really, really poor," Valmont pretended to be weak as a way to get the object he desires.

As soon as he left the house, he can't believe what he has been given. It's only two dollars and ten coins. Renamon is with him to see it.

"You can't be serious," he said in disgusted over the reward then suddenly cheers up. "Don't worry, I'll go to that company she works at and then steal all that money in that place."

Just then, Calumon shows up in front of the two as he attempts to stop them.

"Renamon, why are you working for this human? You're supposed to be with Rika," he started as Valmont lifts him by grabbing him by his head.

"So you're the other Digimon that Rika has in her home. If I'm not mistaken, you saw that conversation between me and her mother," the mastermind of the Dark Hand stated before turning to the fox-like Digimon. "Renamon, if you don't mind, I like to be alone with him."

"Yes, Valmont," she said, teleporting away from the two.

"What have you done to her?" Calumon can't believe the two words coming out of her mouth.

"You want to know? Here's the detail. She doesn't have her memories of being Rika's partner, that's what."

"Wait, if you did that, then that must mean..."

"That's right. You were there in the park last night when Rika reconciled with Renamon, right? Too bad she doesn't have that memory on her head."

This turn of events bring shock to Calumon as he can't believe of what the crime boss' plan is.

"Don't worry, I'll make you forget all that happened in your mind including our conversation," Valmont pulls out the amnesia potion from his coat and sprays it on Calumon. It knocks him out and he tosses him to the house.

"Well, that went well," Yamaki remarked as soon as Valmont has left and Renamon teleported to the two of them. "Looks like you got two places to rob for tonight. Don't worry, I'll help you out."

Suddenly, some guy crosses their path so the latter puts his hand on the jar he's holding, robbing him in the process.

"That's very smart, Valmont. The reason you came Japan just to rob these people off their money," the former makes another remark.

"What can I do to regain my life to luxury?"

"Well, how about rob a jewelry store? You can rob three places for tonight and I'll be there to help you,

As Valmont hears this, a smile is on his face. "Thank you very much, Yamaki. Oh, and that reminds me. Here's a little device I like to show you."

Yamaki gets it and looks surprised. He just can't believe his old friend has stolen a D-Power from Rika.

"So you stole her D-Power. Interesting. I'll have this for a while to analyze it and then give it back to you so that you can transform Renamon into a more powerful form."

"And what is this powerful form you speak of?" Renamon enters the conversation.

"That's what you'll find out," Yamaki replied as he left the two.

"What now?" the fox-like Digimon asked.

"Wait for nighttime and we'll strike," was Valmont's reply.
