Welcome back to another chapter!
This one is a little bit shorter than usual, but it's kind of a breather after the last chapter.
Nevertheless, I hope that you'll enjoy it and I'm looking forward to your comments.
Entry 6
To Be With You
''A lot has already happened, but our journey must continue. The path seems to be endless, but the goal is clear. Danger lurks everywhere; don't be afraid, I'll be there for you. I will help as much as I can, I will be there with you. How far do I have to go? How many battles do I have to overcome? If you want to reach me, then give me a sign – I am ready!''

''Here we are!''
Keiji stood proudly on the platform overlooking the community area, while Terriermon was standing on his shoulder. Takuto, Guilmon, Setsuna, Impmon and Calumon gaped as they saw the Tamers and Digimon that were walking through the area and chatted with each other. Keiji was right – they landed in the wrong spot at the Cyberspace.
''This is so cool!'' Takuto exclaimed.
''Thank you for showing us,'' Guilmon said, glancing at Keiji. He and Beelzemon had earlier agreed that they would attract less attention if they just walked around as Rookies, especially after Gargomon added that Ultimate and Mega level Digimon weren't really a common sight, even though those kind of Digimon would pop up from time to time. Not to mention, he was still baffled to see a Royal Knight and a Demon Lord, even more when he found out they had Tamers.
''Is there anything else we are supposed to know about this community area… or the Cyberspace in general?'' Setsuna asked Keiji.
''Well, there are several areas that are said to be the territory of other Tamer or Hacker groups,'' Keiji said. ''Basically, they will challenge anyone they perceive as an intruder to a cyber battle.''
''What's a cyber battle?'' Impmon asked.
''A cyber battle is basically a battle in the Cyberspace,'' Terriermon explained to him. ''It is a way to tell someone that they aren't fighting you to death. We had already told you that, even if a Digimon gets deleted in the Cyberspace, if their Tamer has a Digivice, their data can be restored without any harm done to the Digimon. So far, it's the most common way to solve disputes.''
''There was also talk about a battle tournament, something in Digimon Tamers: Battle Evolution style,'' Keiji added. Impmon's green eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
''Really?'' he asked eagerly, excited about the idea of participating at a tournament where he could fight against strong opponents.
''Yeah, but it's just rumors,'' Keiji said, shrugging. Impmon frowned, displeased, with Guilmon giving him a side-gaze. ''There is an arena for battling, though, but nobody really goes there, since it had been only built for official purposes.''
''That's disappointing,'' Impmon said, then looked around. ''Uh, where's Calumon?''
''Over there,'' Terriermon pointed at the area below them. They saw Calumon wandering between the Tamers and Digimon, ending up chatting with a young boy and his partner, a rather surprised Meramon. Terriermon then glanced at Impmon and Guilmon. ''Does he always wander around like this?''
Both Guilmon and Impmon nodded.
''He doesn't really strike me as a fighter,'' Keiji said. ''I am a little worried about what might happen to him if he comes across the wrong Digimon.''
''You're really underestimating Calumon,'' Impmon replied. ''He's more resilient than you think. Besides, I think he had been wandering across the Digital World on his own for quite a while and nothing happened to him.''
''Impmon's right,'' Guilmon said. ''Anyways, let's go after him.''
The group made their way to the community area, with Takuto, Setsuna, Guilmon and Impmon looking around curiously.
''I wonder whether they all landed here the way we did,'' Setsuna said.
''You mean, that app?'' Takuto asked. ''I don't think that's the case. I don't think everyone here played Digimon Story: Lost World.''
''I did,'' Keiji chimed in. ''Did you too got a message on your app?''
''Yeah, we did,'' Takuto said. ''After we accepted, it vanished and we found ourselves at the Cyberspace.''
''The same happened to me,'' Keiji said. ''I had found Terriermon being chased by several viruses, but we managed to fend them off.''
''Not only that, but we also accidentally found out how to return to the Real World during that chase,'' Terriermon added. ''Teamwork at its best.'' He then tilted his head. ''It took us a while to find a way back, though.''
Keiji just chuckled sheepishly. ''In the end, things worked out for us.''
''We kind of had a similar adventure,'' Setsuna said – her, Takuto, Impmon and Guilmon exchanging uncertain glances – and added in a nonchalant tone, ''After all, we told you that we had encountered that Hacker before.''
''Hopefully, it'll be the last time we met him,'' Takuto said. ''Nevertheless, I can imagine that there are a lot more people like him here, maybe even worse.''
''You're right about that,'' Keiji replied. ''Trust me, you will encounter a lot of weird people in your life.''
''Including you guys?'' Setsuna asked. Takuto and Keiji gave her a puzzled look, but then smiled when they noticed her grinning.
''Hey!'' The group looked up, noticing a girl with a Bearmon walking up to them. She appeared to be annoyed, holding Calumon in her arms. ''Does this guy belong to you?''
''–calu!'' Calumon gave them a mischievous smile, completely oblivious to how irritated the other Tamer was.
''Yeah, he does,'' Takuto replied, with the girl giving Calumon to him.
''Tell him to leave us alone; we are not interested in playing games,'' the girl said.
''Seriously, you cannot just approach people and expect them to drop everything to play with you,'' Bearmon added. ''That's not how things work here.''
''Huh?'' Calumon gave them a puzzled look.
''I'm sorry for the trouble,'' Takuto said, with the girl and Bearmon leaving in a huff.
''Why is she so grumpy? –calu,'' Calumon asked, giving Takuto a puzzled look. ''I thought we were playing hide and seek.''
''Creampuff, not everyone is in mood for a game here,'' Impmon told him, with Calumon looking at him and flying over to him, landing on the top of the imp's head. ''Sure, this may not be the DigiWorld, but that doesn't mean that you won't be encountering people that are unfriendly or even hostile. It's better if you stick with us.''
''Okay…'' Calumon muttered, feeling disheartened, his ears shrinking. Takuto then turned to Keiji and Terriermon.
''I know we had mentioned this during our argument, but I hadn't really asked you whether you want to be part of this mess of a team?'' he asked, with Keiji giving him a surprised look. ''I know it's sudden, and I'm not sure whether you are part of another team, or whether you even want…''
''Honestly, I had already thought that we're part of this team,'' Keiji said in a carefree manner.
''Yeah,'' Terriermon added. ''Besides, you still need someone to act as your guide in the Cyberspace.''
''Thanks,'' Takuto said.
''Anyways, should we continue exploring?'' Keiji asked, with everyone nodding. They followed Keiji, but Guilmon started falling behind, not really interested in the tour. He was quite worried, having other things on mind.
''What's wrong?'' Guilmon was startled by Impmon's question. The latter looked rather carefree despite the nature of the question. Calumon, who was still on Impmon's head, gave him a look of concern, but kept quiet.
''You are aware that neither of us will be able to stay for too long with our partners due to our duties,'' Guilmon reminded him. ''Not to mention, I don't think our respective teammates are going to be thrilled by us having Tamers.''
''Speak for yourself,'' Impmon replied. ''It's not like Luce or the others care much about what I'm up to, as long as I don't interfere with their plans.'' He frowned. ''Also, if they attempt to harm Setsuna, they will have to deal with me first.''
''Of course,'' Guilmon muttered, a little relieved. It wasn't as if he didn't trust Impmon to not protect his Tamer, but it was in his nature to make sure that everyone was safe.
''What about you?'' Impmon asked. ''It's not like the rest of the Royal Knights would attempt to harm him, so why are you so worried?''
''It's a bit different for me,'' Guilmon replied. ''I am not completely sure what their reactions will be and I'm worried how that conversation would go.''
''You'd be talking to Alphamon, right?'' Impmon asked. ''He doesn't strike me as the guy who would frown upon you having a Tamer.''
''I know, but that doesn't make me less worried,'' Guilmon told him.
''If you're so worried, why don't you talk to Takuto about it, –calu?'' Calumon asked.
''We did already have a conversation,'' Guilmon replied. ''He doesn't know that I'll have to leave soon, though.''
''Creampuff's right, it would be better if you just told him everything instead of waiting for the last moment to explain what you're planning to do,'' Impmon said. Guilmon nodded.
''Speaking of which, are you going to do the same?'' he asked.
''Of course,'' Impmon said. ''Like I said, there's no reason to keep this secret.''
Guilmon knew that Impmon was right. Frankly, even if the two were rivals and, more importantly, bitter enemies, both knew when to listen to each other. Guilmon knew that, alongside his duties as a Royal Knight, he had chosen to have a Tamer and that he would protect him. He wanted this to work out and he would do anything to stay with Takuto.
xXx
''Now, that was awesome,'' Takuto said as he and Guilmon walked back home. It was early evening when they had returned from the Cyberspace and both were quite hungry, but satisfied with their experience, as well as the fact that they became friends with another Tamer and his Digimon.
''I think it would've been better if we didn't have to deal with that Hacker and the viruses, but I guess that it could've been worse,'' Guilmon replied.
''I agree,'' Takuto said, smiling slyly. ''After that intimidation, I sincerely doubt that he is going to target us ever again.''
''I wouldn't be so sure,'' Guilmon told him. ''It would be better if we both remained careful.''
Takuto shrugged, more or less agreeing with Guilmon's suggestion. Despite the fiasco with the Hacker and the viruses, he had enjoyed himself and was looking forward to another adventure. However, it seemed that this adventure was just around the corner – he still had to sneak Guilmon past his mother. Once they reached the public trash can close to Takuto's house, they stopped, with Takuto staring at it in surprise.
''Where's the box? I know I left it here,'' Takuto said, only to sigh in annoyance. ''Of course, it had probably been picked up by the garbage truck. I shouldn't have left it here.''
''So, what do we do?'' Guilmon asked.
''I guess I'll have to introduce you to my mum,'' Takuto said, shrugging. ''I had already figured that this would happen eventually, but still, I'm not looking forward to her reaction.''
Guilmon wanted to tell his Tamer how he knew how Takuto felt, because he had the same feeling concerning telling Alphamon and the rest of the Royal Knights about having a Tamer. He could hear Impmon's voice echoing in his mind, ''Like I said, there's no reason to keep this secret.''
I know… But, just like Takuto, I'm not looking forward to their reactions.
The two walked over to the front door, stepping in front of it and exchanging nervous glances. Takuto took a deep breath, him and Guilmon entering the house. Both were a little nervous when they heard Takuto's mother walking around in the kitchen.
''I'm home!'' Takuto announced his presence, taking his shoes off, with his mother walking out of the kitchen and into the hallway.
''Oh, Takuto, I just had- aaaaghhh!'' Kimiko screamed, pointing at Guilmon and shaking. ''Wha- What's that?!''
''Mum, please, don't freak out,'' Takuto said, already regretting it, as his statement had no effect on his mother's reaction. All he could hope was that Guilmon would somehow endear himself to Kimiko. ''This is Guilmon and he's my Digimon partner.''
''P-partner…'' Kimiko stuttered, leaning against the wall. ''What are you talking about, Takuto?''
Takuto glanced at Guilmon, with both nodding. Guilmon then stepped up, walking over to Kimiko, who withdrew.
''I'm Guilmon,'' he introduced himself, his voice calm and compassionate. ''I'm deeply sorry for scaring you, but I can assure you, you can trust me.''
''Wh-what?'' Kimiko stepped back, still in shock. It wasn't every day that a huge dinosaur that talks walks into your home. Guilmon tilted his head and stepped back in order to give her more space, with Kimiko slowly calming down once she realized that the dinosaur Digimon wasn't as dangerous as she thought he would be. Then, it dawned on her. ''Wait, your behaviour yesterday…''
''I had figured that you would freak out after seeing Guilmon, so I kept him hidden,'' Takuto admitted, rubbing the back of his head. ''Unfortunately, the box I used to smuggle him here had vanished and I realized that I have really no reason to keep him a secret from you.''
''You know, you could've prepared me for this instead of giving me a heart attack,'' Kimiko said, taking a deep breath. ''I mean, I know about Digimon, since you're constantly talking about it, but I had no idea they're… well, real.''
''To be honest, I just found out yesterday, so you're not out of the loop for that long,'' Takuto said, chuckling nervously. He then gave his mother a determined look. ''Mum, Guilmon can stay with us, right? I promise, he won't cause any trouble.''
''Well…'' Kimiko glanced at Guilmon, who gave her an innocent smile. She had to admit that he was kind of cute. ''He can stay…''
''Yes!'' Takuto did a fist-pump.
''However, what I'm worried about is, if Guilmon is real, then what about all those other monsters you've been telling me about; those other Digimon?'' Kimiko asked. ''They're real too, aren't they? Not to mention, very dangerous.''
''Unfortunately, yes, there are dangerous Digimon,'' Guilmon answered. ''However, that's why I'm here. Aside from being Takuto's partner, I'm also a Royal Knight, sworn to protect others from dangerous Digimon and making sure that Takuto's safe is my top priority.''
''I see…'' Kimiko looked at Guilmon, still feeling tense. She then sighed. ''Okay, I trust you. Just, make sure that Takuto stays out of danger.''
''I will do my best,'' Guilmon told her. Kimiko then gave him a calculating look.
''Say, Guilmon… How do you feel about having omurice with with mayonnaise and fish for dinner?'' she asked. Guilmon tilted his head quizzically, while Takuto just stared at his mother completely exasperated.
''Not again,'' he muttered, only to give her a questioning look. ''Wait, why mayonnaise?''
''Well, we're out of ketchup,'' Kimiko replied, smiling sheepishly.
''I guess that's fine,'' Takuto said, sighing. ''Guilmon and I are going to be in my room. Just call us when dinner's ready.''
''No problem,'' Kimiko said happily and went to the kitchen. Takuto glanced at Guilmon, who was still a little confused.
''Mark my words, she's going to make you her next food tester,'' he said.
''Is that a bad thing?'' Guilmon asked.
''Not really, but Mum has a tendency to come up with the weirdest dishes I've ever seen,'' Takuto replied as he and Guilmon went upstairs.
Guilmon thought about it for a moment, then said, ''I think I already know a person like that.''
''Really?'' Takuto asked as the two entered his room.
''Yeah, but that's a story for another time,'' Guilmon told him. Takuto nodded, then stretched his arms.
''Honestly, I thought that this introduction would've turned out much worse,'' he said, sighing in relief. He glanced at Guilmon, who appeared to be still tense and worried. ''Guilmon, is everything alright?''
Guilmon looked up at him, at first reluctant, but then gave him a determined look.
''I need to report to Alphamon,'' Guilmon told him.
''What?'' Takuto stared at him in surprise.
''I will have to go back to the Digital World,'' Guilmon continued. ''Unfortunately, I am not completely sure whether you should come-''
''I'm going with you,'' Takuto said. ''We're partners and if there's some issue you need to deal with, I'll help you. We're in this together.''
''I was afraid that you'll say that,'' Guilmon said, taking a deep breath. ''I've been thinking about this for a while, and I had figured that I should just accept it and move on.''
''Well, it's been like two days, so it's kind of obvious that you would still be worried about how to handle things,'' Takuto said. ''Rest assured, I'll be by your side no matter how difficult it gets.''
''Thank you, Takuto,'' Guilmon replied.
''So, when are we going to the Digital World?'' Takuto asked. ''Should we leave tomorrow?''
''Sounds good to me,'' Guilmon nodded. He noticed that Takuto looked rather excited and while he did share the same sentiment, he couldn't help himself but remain worried. After all, the results of this visit would determine their future as partners.
Nevertheless, he wasn't going down without a fight.
xXx
Setsuna sighed as she exited the grocery store, holding a plastic bag full of ready-made food, mostly because she wasn't interested in cooking and she also had to feed her two roommates. As she was walking back home, she checked her D-App, noticing two dots on the radar, aware that it was just Impmon and Calumon following her by jumping on the rooftops and lampposts.
They're probably just as hungry as I am.
She noted that it wouldn't take too long to get back home and make dinner for all three of them, looking forward to opening the curry rice. Suddenly, her D-App flashed, revealing another dot.
''Another Digimon?'' she muttered, looking around and quickly entering a nearby street. She was joined by Impmon and Calumon, who appeared to be just as tense as she was. She glanced at her partner. ''I guess you sensed it too, right?''
''Yeah,'' Impmon nodded, trying to figure out where the Digimon in question was, while Setsuna glanced on her D-App. Calumon was a little worried about where this was going, but decided not to voice his concern, believing that Setsuna and Impmon would be able to handle this. Even though he didn't like battling, he too could sense whenever a Digimon was nearby.
Eventually, Setsuna and Impmon managed to figure out where the signal was coming from and ran towards it, with Setsuna eventually realizing that it was coming from a nearby underground parking lot. Impmon was already ahead of her, having entered the parking lot, with Calumon landing down next to him, both staring into the darkness. She frowned as she saw Reiko stepping out of the shadows, followed by her partner, Renamon.
''Tsukiya,'' Setsuna muttered as she saw Reiko approaching her. ''What do you want from us?''
''Isn't it obvious?'' Reiko replied, her arms folded on her chest. Renamon gave Impmon an icy glare. ''Renamon and I want a rematch.''
''I'm fine with it,'' Impmon said, grinning. Setsuna didn't look convinced, glancing around the parking lot.
''Here? I mean, it's not like we're in a digital field,'' she said, feeling doubtful about that idea. Reiko's eyes narrowed as she stared coldly at Setsuna.
''Renamon,'' she said, not even looking at her partner. Renamon suddenly lunged towards Impmon and Calumon, with Impmon grabbing Calumon and dodging Renamon's attack by jumping backwards and landing next to Setsuna. He let go of Calumon and gave Renamon a death glare, the latter just taking a battle stance, her tail flicking.
Setsuna realized that the battle would be taking place, despite the fact that an underground parking lot didn't make the best battle field. Calumon didn't appear to like that idea either.
''This isn't good, –calu,'' he muttered as he flew up and landed on Setsuna's shoulder, observing Impmon and Renamon with great concern. Setsuna just frowned, a determined look forming on her expression.
''Fine,'' she grumbled.
''Diamond Storm!'' Without a warning, Renamon made her move by leaping into the air and releasing a barrage of glowing sharp leaves at Impmon. The latter managed to dodge the attack again by rolling to the side and lighting flames on his fingers. Then, while still in a crouching position, he fired those flames at Renamon.
''Night of Fire!''
Renamon crossed her arms in front of her face, shielding herself from the small explosions the flames produced. Sparks of light appeared in front of her as she suddenly released another barrage of sharp leaves.
''Diamond Storm!''
''Night of Blizzard!''
Impmon countered the leaf storm with a barrage of ice shards, causing the attacks to collide and result in a minor explosion. Renamon then leapt through the smoke, igniting her paws in blue flames and striking at Impmon. Being caught off guard, Impmon was sent flying towards a nearby car, hitting it hard and leaving a dent in the hood.
''Impmon!'' Setsuna watched as her partner hoisted himself up, glaring at Renamon, who was just observing him curiously.
''I had hoped that you two would be more of a threat,'' Reiko said. ''Where's that confidence you had shown earlier?''
''We're just getting started!'' Setsuna replied angrily, with Impmon managing to get on his feet and facing Renamon again.
''We'll see,'' Reiko replied, with Renamon charging once again towards Impmon.
''Night of Fire!'' Impmon once again summoned flames on his fingertips, firing them at Renamon, who easily dodged the attack, thanks to her agility and got closer. However, she realized too late that this was Impmon's plan, noticing the smirk on his expression at the last second. ''Pillar of Fire!''
Much to Renamon's surprise, Impmon created a dome of fire around him, with Renamon lunging right into it. She shielded her eyes, feeling the flames burning her skin and as she opened them, a sphere of fire and ice hit her.
''Renamon!'' Reiko cried out, losing her cool. Meanwhile, the flames around Impmon dispersed, with him stepping towards Renamon with another Night of Fire attack.
''Kohenkyo!'' In an attempt to get more time to recover, Renamon used her Fox Switch Deception move, vanishing in a whirl of leaves. Impmon quickly attacked her, but she was already gone.
''Where is she?'' Impmon muttered, looking around for Renamon. It was growing darker and darker in the parking lot, but that didn't hinder his ability to see, thanks to him being a demon Digimon and a resident of the Dark Area. As a matter of fact, he hoped that the darkness would put Renamon to a disadvantage. Suddenly, he spotted a dark figure crouching between the cars. ''Night of Fire!''
Renamon leapt, using the nearby car as a leverage and tried to get as close to Impmon as possible. At the same time, Reiko pulled out her D-App.
''Card Scan! Boost Chip!'' She tapped the card, causing it to spin and turn into data particles, which got absorbed into the D-App. This gave Renamon a small power boost.
''Diamond Storm!''
''Card Scan! Black Brave Shield!'' Aware that Impmon wasn't fast enough to dodge Renamon's attack, Setsuna pulled out her own D-App, scanning the card and summoning BlackWarGreymon's shield for Impmon to defend himself. The shield was big enough to cover him entirely, and after the sharp leaves dispersed, Impmon suddenly lifted the shield and swung it, letting it fly straight at Renamon. Renamon managed to swiftly dodge the attack, causing it to hit the front window of the car behind her and cracking it, then turning into data particles. The car alarm kicked in, only to stop once Renamon landed on the car, creating a dent in the hood.
Good thing there aren't any cameras around, Setsuna thought sheepishly. The last thing we need is the owner of the car to suddenly appear.
It seemed like she wasn't the only one who thought about it, as she noticed the hesitant look on Reiko's expression. Not only that, but Impmon, Renamon and even Calumon appeared to think the same – they could continue the fight, but they would get caught.
''You know, if you digivolved, this would've been over much sooner,'' Renamon suddenly told Impmon, with the latter looking at first dumbfounded, before smirking.
''Why don't you try to digivolve?'' he replied. ''I recall you doing the same in our last fight.''
Renamon rose an eyebrow, observing Impmon intently. ''We both are aware that this is was not the point of my question.'' Her tail flicked as she tensed. ''After all, crushing your opponents into data bits is something I'd expect from a Demon Lord.''
''Trust me, Foxy, I'm more comfortable fighting you this way, while I'm at my Rookie level,'' Impmon replied, smirking. ''I don't tend to pick on Digimon that are weaker than me.'' Reiko and Renamon both twitched, glaring at him, with Impmon adding in a mocking tone, ''Why don't you fight me after you reach your Mega level? Until then, don't expect me to go all out on you.''
While Renamon kept her calm, Reiko was quite irritated. She and Renamon had been working quite hard to get to Champion level and were currently on the path to reach Ultimate, so being told that they were still too weak to be considered worthy opponents was quite an insult.
Setsuna, on the other hand, sighed in exasperation, feeling that this wasn't the time nor place to suddenly starting insulting their opponents. She could feel Calumon crawling up on the top of her head and patting her, having noticed that she was feeling troubled. However, before either of them could do anything, they suddenly heard steps echoing from the far side of the parking lot.
''Damn it!'' Setsuna hissed, both her and Reiko realizing that they'd have to leave. Reiko ran, with Renamon disappearing in the shadows. Setsuna, Impmon and Calumon meanwhile took off in the opposite direction, managing to get back on the street without any further complications.
''Seems like we were right about those two living here,'' Impmon said as he, Setsuna and Calumon started walking back home.
''Right… and I'm sure that we'll be seeing them again,'' Setsuna replied. ''I guess I should tell Takuto and Guilmon about this encounter.''
''I don't think we'll be seeing Takuto or Guilmon any time soon, –calu,'' Calumon said.
''Why not?'' Setsuna asked.
''Because Guilmon said that he would have to return to the Digital World, –calu,'' Calumon replied. ''He didn't look happy about it, though.''
''Duke is worried about how the other Royal Knights would react to him having a Tamer,'' Impmon explained. ''I had told him that he'd have to go through it, whether he wants it or not and that he probably doesn't have much to worry about.''
''I see,'' Setsuna said. ''I can understand why he's worried. Being a Royal Knight, he should be focused on protecting the Digital World rather than going on adventures.''
''You're right, but no matter what he says, Gallantmon wasn't really a strict follower of rules,'' Impmon said.
''Really?'' Setsuna rose an eyebrow, with Impmon smirking.
''Let's just say that we had an influence on each other,'' he said. Setsuna tilted her head.
''So, what about you? Don't you have to go to the Digital World too? After all, you are part of another infamous group,'' Setsuna asked. Impmon shrugged.
''One thing about being a Demon Lord is that the rest of the team doesn't care with their other members are up to, as long as I don't interfere with their individual plans,'' Impmon explained. ''Trust me, the only reason the Digital World isn't a hellscape is because none of us are working together the way the Royal Knights or Celestial Angels would. Hell, I think it would be easier to convince an Angemon to become a permanent resident of the Dark Area rather than make the Demon Lords work together.''
He then crossed his arms behind his head, walking ahead of Setsuna and Calumon, adding in a carefree tone, ''Of course, I am aware that I'd have to eventually reveal that I have a Tamer, so if you agree, we could go there at some point. It makes no sense to worry about something that hasn't happened yet if you're not willing to confront the issue.''
''I'm fine with that idea,'' Setsuna said, with Impmon turning around, giving her a curious look. Setsuna looked quite confident, with Impmon nodding.
He didn't expect anything less from his Tamer.
