Ken Ichijouji and the Mystery of the Missing Matt
written by Yolei Ichijouji, as told by her darling Kenny
Twenty-five years after the defeat of Malomyotismon...
The name's Ichijouji. Ken Ichijouji. Private eye. My partner Wormmon and I just got back from one of the most shocking cases of our lives--the disappearance of Yamato Ishida.
It was a boring evening, as usual. The only jobs we had had for days were looking for Mimi's missing jewelry and cosmetics. And that wasn't the worst part--she didn't even pay us! Figures.
"Well, Ken," Wormmon said to me, "this is safer than staying home."
I laughed. "Isn't that the truth?"
My wife was a bit short tempered. Whenever she lost it, it was Wormmon's fault--yet I always got blamed. You'd think I'd have broke up with my partner by now, but I could never stay mad at Wormmon.
As I was saying, it was a very boring evening. Just then, the door to our office swung open. A tall lady with short brown hair stepped in.
"Mr. Ichijouji!" she cried. "I need your help!"
It was none other than my childhood friend, Sora Ishida.
"What's wrong, Mrs. Ishida?" I asked.
She sniffled. "It's my husband! He's gone!"
Matt? Gone? This was serious! I tried to stay cool.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Ishida. I'll find your husband."
"Oh, thank you, Ken!" she cried, running up to my desk and hugging me. I squirmed slightly, but tried to remain polite. Wormmon, however, did not take the same approach as me.
"That's Mr. Ichijouji to you," the caterpillar digimon said angrily. "And keep your hands off my partner!" She glared at him, but let go.
"I'll get to work on the case right away," I said to Sora, trying to get her to leave as quickly as possible. If my darling Miyako found out another woman had touched me...well, I just wouldn't let her find out.
"Thank you, Mr. Ichijouji," she said, and left abruptly, glaring at Wormmon, who just glared right back.
"Ken," my partner said after Sora was gone, "I don't think I like her anymore. Ever since you and Yolei got married, she's been acting funny around you."
"Wormmon!" I scolded him, "Matt and Sora are very happy together!" Wormmon stuck his nose up in the air.
"Come on, Wormmon," I said finally, "let's get going."
