Chapter 5
Yamachi and Ronomon, Evening of Day 1
Ronomon and Yamachi were just getting back to Yamachi's apartment around this time. Yamachi went and plopped down on his couch, exhausted from having to set up most of the Hypnos network by himself because of the incompetence of the construction workers. Ronomon had gone to the kitchen to get a glass of water to sooth his very tired voice. He then returned and took a seat on the couch with Yamachi. Yamachi had turned on the TV and was watching the news when Ronomon said, "So how did the set up go at Hypnos?"
"Terrible," Yamachi replied, "I swear that those construction workers were as dumb as doornails. They almost blew the entire system up because they didn't think to ask me if they had connected the new Juggernaut core correctly. Luckily I was walking by when I saw them about to turn it on and stopped them. I would have been done at noon like I told you, but I just spent the last 6 hours disconnecting and reconnecting the Juggernaut core. They had only one wire connected correctly. Only one blasted wire."
"Let me guess, it was the power cord."
"Yes, so they were sure it at least had power, but not if it was going to be a supercomputer or a bomb." With that Yamachi let out a long sigh and Ronomon chuckled at this.
"Looks like I had the lesser of two evils today, but when you have to work with such minds as Kazu and Kenta you know it is going to be a long day." At this Yamachi laughed. He had come to know the kids better over the month that their partners had been gone. He knew just how right Ronomon was about the mental capacity of those two.
"Well, it's about dinner time, why don't I treat you tonight." Yamachi said looking over at Ronomon who now gave him a questioning look.
"What do you mean?" He asked after a few seconds.
"I know about this nice Italian restaurant that is just a few blocks from here. You feel like eating out tonight. I think you have something to celebrate. Your spell is working and the digimon's data is starting to be converted."
"You are correct, the process has begun, but we can not let our guards down. To retrieve the digimon's data from the digital world I had to make the last connection between the two worlds, a gateway the size of a pinhole, a bit larger. By doing this I may have made it possible for digimon to Bioemerge again, though it can't be anything bigger then Cyberdramon, but still there are some truly powerful digimon that would fit that description, but your right. Tonight is a nigh to celebrate, but how can I go out to eat if I don't have a penny to my name. Besides that I don't think I fit the dress code. Oh, what's that old saying? No shirt, no shoes, no service."
"Even though you have made several good points I have an answer to all of them. First, this dinner is my treat so you don't have to worry about money. Second, I have made arrangements with the manager and he is willing to serve you if you promise to leave you weapons here, and the third reason you are going to join me for dinner is I have already made the reservations, and I won't take no for a answer." With that Yamachi turned to grab his coat off the hook. Ronomon just stared at him. He then let out a sigh, took off his swords, bow and quiver, and followed Yamachi out the door thinking, "I can't believe he got the better of me in a word fight. I must think of a way to repay him for this." The restaurant was a family style restaurant.
When Ronomon and Yamachi arrived Yamachi turned to the blue fox digimon and said, "Now I have to speak with the manager to make sure our table is ready. Please wait out here in the lobby, and try not to causer trouble." Yamachi then turned and headed into the restaurant leaving Ronomon waiting with one of the waitresses in the front lobby. He looked around and saw that Yamachi was right. This seemed to be a very nice restaurant, and he had to admit the smell of the food was starting to make him hungry. He then noticed that the waitress was staring at him with a bit of fear showing in her eyes. He decided to ease her nerves and sat down in one of the nearby chairs in the waiting lobby. The waitress seemed to calm down once he had been sitting there for a few minutes. He watched as several groups of people walked by, and as they were taken to their seats. Ronomon couldn't understand what was taking Yamachi so long, but after waiting about 20 more minutes Yamachi returned with the manager. When they came into the waiting lobby they saw Ronomon and were relieved he hadn't left yet. The manager walked up to Ronomon and said, "Welcome, I hope you haven't been too inconvenienced by the wait. I was on the phone with the owner making sure this was prearranged as Mr. Yamachi said it was. I have a table prepared for you two." The manager then turned to one of the waiters and said, "Please take them to their table, its number 17 in the non-smoking area." The waiter smiled nicely and motioned for Ronomon and Yamachi to follow him. Ronomon glared at Yamachi for a few seconds, then stood up, and began following the waiter to the table. Yamachi smiled and said under his breath, "I can tell already this is going to be one interesting meal." The two were soon seated in the middle of a large room full of other restaurant patrons. They were seated and the waiter gave them their menus, and filled their glasses with some water. Ronomon could already feel the eyes of the other diners. He then said quietly said to Yamachi, "I hope this wasn't a bad idea. I am getting a vibe from this room that if I was even hiccup it would cause a mass panic. I think I should just leave."
Ronomon was about to get up and leave when Yamachi said, "Would you stop being so paranoid. So what if you were to cause a mass panic, that just mean we would get our food faster. Besides, I've been looking around the room and I know many of these business people. Once they relive I was the one that brought you here they will calm down. Most people I have worked with hold my judge of character in high regard." Ronomon was about to protest when the waiter came back and asked if they were ready to order. Yamachi quickly began to spell out his order in great detail allowing Ronomon to quickly flip through the menu and make a decision himself. Once Yamachi finished his order Ronomon gave the waiter his. The waiter bowed slightly, said it their food would be out in about 20 minutes, and left the two alone. Ronomon had to admit, but in the short time the waiter was here it seemed most of the people in the room had gotten used to his presence and had returned to their meals and conversations. The two were soon were enjoying a fine meal, even though some of the other customers still looked a little uneasy around them. Then, half way through his meal, Ronomon felt an odd tugging on his tail. He put down what he was eating and turned around to see two small boys looking up at him with giant eyes. Ronomon looked at them for a second and then turned back to his meal, noticing Yamachi was stifling a laugh. He was about to tell Yamachi off when he felt the same tugging. He turned around to see that the two boys were still there, but that they were now joined by 6 other small children. He looked about the group; all of them were staring at him in aw. Ronomon finally said, "Uhhhh… Hi, how are you?' With that the small group of kids quickly turned around and scurried away, leaving a very confused Ronomon. When he turned he saw Yamachi was about to break out in laughter. Ronomon gave the man a quick glare and said, "It wasn't that funny."
Yamachi regained his composure and said, "Maybe for you, but I thought it was very funny."
Ronomon continued to glare at Yamachi and said, "I'll pretend I didn't hear that" He then returned to his food. In about ten minutes he realized that his tail was being tugged on again. He looked up to see Yamachi was trying to stop himself from laughing so hard he was tearing up slightly. Ronomon knew what he would find if he turned around, so he didn't. He just finished his meal trying to ignore the constant annoyance of his tail being pulled. Once he finished he waited for Yamachi to do the same. He then felt a sharp pain in his back as one of the kids started poking him with a fork. He then couldn't take any more and turned around to glare at the children. The whole group looked up when he did this and stepped back a little when they saw the glare they were being given by the blue fox digimon. Yamachi had then just gotten out of his seat and walked over to Ronomon's side of the table. He then turned to the group of children and said, "Is there something I can assist you with."
One small boy step forward and said, "Is he a digimon?"
Yamachi smiled and, to Ronomon's regret, said, "Yes, his name is Ronomon."
The whole group turned back to Ronomon and in unison said, "Cooool." Then they all started to blather on, asking about 20 questions a minute of the blue fox. Ronomon turned to Yamachi and said, "You know I'll get you for this."
"Consider it your way of paying me back for this fine meal. I want you to keep these kids entertained for about ten minutes while I go pay our tab and thank the manager, agreed."
Ronomon sat there a moment, but then replied, "Agreed." He then sighed and turned to the group of children, and for the next ten minutes tried to satisfy their constant thirst for knowledge about the him and the digital world. When Yamachi returned Ronomon was about to rip his own fur out, and was thankful when Yamachi had shooed the eager bunch of munchkins away. He then turned to Ronomon and said, "Well, shall we head back."
Ronomon turned to him and said, "I'll meet you there." With that his melted into the shadow of the table and Yamachi walked out of the Restaurant with a smile on his face thinking, "Man that was worth it. Got a fine meal and some dinner theater featuring Ronomon and the children of a thousand questions?" Yamachi then stepped out of the restaurant and started heading back, wonder what else could happen over the next 4 days.
Ronomon: Well, it was a short chapter, but one to hopefully tickle your funny bone. Renamon should be here by the start or end of chapter 6.
Assistant: Yeah, so keep reading and reviewing.
