Chapter 4: The Second Visit

04/14 Friday, 2011

(After school)

As soon as the school bell rang, Yu and Chie wasted no time in heading to Junes to track down Yosuke, who was determined to enter the world within the TV in order to uncover the truth behind Saki's death. Sure enough, they arrived at the same spot where they initially entered the alternate reality. There, they saw Yosuke with a rope wrapped around his waist and a golf club.

"You guys came…!" Yosuke greeted them.

"We came to stop you, idiot!" Chie retorted. "C'mon… You really shouldn't do this. It's too dangerous."

"I know… But we were able to come back once, right? If we go in from the same location, maybe we'll meet that bear again." Yosuke said.

"'Maybe' isn't good enough!" She said, trying to make the guy see reason.

"Look, I can't just act like everyone else and pretend this has nothing to do with me." He explained.

"That's true, but…"

Yosuke then turned towards Yu. "What about you? Could you just walk away?"

"I'm worried about Chie." Yu told him.

"Yeah, it'll be just you and me." Yosuke agreed. "Don't worry, I'm not going in without a plan." He then turned towards Chie. "Chie, I'm leaving you in charge of this."

"Huh? What's that? A rope?" Chie asked as she took the rope from Yosuke's free hand.

"We'll go in with this tied to me, so I want you to hold on to this and wait here." The headphones boy explained.

"Wh-What? Then, is this a lifeline? C'mon, wait a sec…" Chie came into a realization on how serious Yosuke is.

"And here's for you." Yosuke gave the golf club to Yu as well as three packs of medicine. "I thought it might be better than going in empty-handed."

"Thank you." Yu said.

"All right… Let's go. There's no use wasting any more time." Yosuke told him as he turned towards Chie. "Chie, whatever you do, don't let go of the rope."

"H-Hey, wait a sec! Let's talk about this!" Chie pleaded but was ignored as she saw the two boys enter the TV.

As Chie watched on, she felt the tugging on the rope. Worried about them, she proceeded to pull out the rope... only to have it snap off with no Yosuke bound to it. She then went down on her knees as the realization sunk in. "See...? I knew this wasn't going to work... Now what..."

(In the TV World)

"Owww…" Yosuke yelped as he landed on his bottom. At the very least, he and Yu have arrived in the TV world. They wasted no time getting up.

"Is this…?" Yosuke asked as he looked around.

"Yeah, it's the same spot where we fell." Yu confirmed it.

"I see. That just proved that it's connected from place to place." His friend said.

"Y-You guys… Why'd you come back?" They turned to see the mysterious bear stepping out from the fog. It was then that the bear jumped to the wrong conclusion. "I get it! You're the ones behind this!"

"You're that thing from last time!" Yosuke said before realizing what the bear just said. "Wait, what the hell did you just say!?"

"Lately, I can tell someone's been throwing people in here. It's making this world more and more messed up…" The mysterious bear said. "This is the second time you guys came here. And I don't think anyone forced you in. That means you're the most suspicious!" He proceeded to point his left arm at them accusingly. "You guys must be the ones throwing the people in here, raaaawr!"

"We're not the culprits." Yu denied the accusation.

"What're you talking about, 'throwing people in'!? If someone was thrown in here and they couldn't get out, they might die! Who would do such a—" It was then Yosuke realized what he was saying. "Wait a sec... All this talk about someone throwing people in here…"

"I think he means Ms. Yamano and Saki-senpai." Yu stated. "If anything, there was 'someone' in our world who threw them into this one."

"Yeah… I agree." Yosuke saw the logic behind his friend's reasoning. "Let's assume the bear's telling the truth… Could it be that someone's throwing people in here, intending to kill them? If that's the case…"

"What're you guys mumbling about?" The two boys turned towards the mysterious bear. "Why'd you come here, anyways!? It's a one-way door! You can't get out once you're in! Remember? How I had to let you guys out?"

"Yeah, whatever." Yosuke scoffed at it. "We don't need your help this time! See, this time we have a lifeli—" He couldn't finish his sentence when he realized that the line had been cut off. "Whaaaaaat!?"

"I guess the rope can only go so far." Yu lamented.

"H-Hey! You better let us out once we're done investigating here!" Yosuke demanded.

"Grrrrr! I'm the one who wants to investigate! I've lived here for a long time. But it's never been noisy like this 'till now." The talking creature retorted. "Do you have proof!? Prove to me you're not throwing people in here!"

"It doesn't work like that." Yu told the mysterious creature.

"See! So it is you guys!" The creature insisted.

"For the last time, it's not us, so we've got nothing to prove to you!" Yosuke said, feeling tired of being accused. "Hey, you better answer our questions. This isn't like last time, when we came here by accident. We're dead serious! Listen up, 'cause people have died in our world… Every time the fog appears, a dead body shows up with it. It has to be related to this place somehow! If you know something, tell us!"

"A dead body? Whenever the fog appears...?" The mysterious bear repeated. "I know that if it's foggy on your side, the fog lifts here. It's really dangerous when the fog lifts. That's when the Shadows get violent. Not even the Beastials would mess with the Shadows when they're like that." It was then that the bear-like creature understood. "Aaaah… I get it…"

"Huh? If you get it, then explain it to us, dammit!" The headphones boy demanded. "If it's foggy on our side, it isn't here...? Shadows get violent...? And what are these 'Beastials'?"

"That's why I said to hurry back! It's dangerous when that happens!" The mysterious bear said. "Okay, no more questions. I know you guys did it! You better stop right now!"

"I've told you and told you, we're not the ones doing it! I've about had it with you… Why the hell won't you listen to what we're saying!?" Yosuke snapped.

"I-I'm just saying… you might be the culprits. I'm just making sure…" The mysterious bear said.

What? Man, this bear's driving me nuts…" Yosuke muttered as he was at wit's end with the mysterious bear. "What is this place, anyways? It looks like a TV studio. Is something being filmed here?" It was then that he came to a realization. "H-Hey, don't tell me… Is that weird show being filmed here!?"

"Weird show? Filmed? What does that mean?" The mysterious bear asked, having no clue on what Yosuke was saying.

"Uh...I'm asking if someone's been filming the people that get thrown in here." The headphones boy elaborated.

"I don't get it… This world has always been like this. No one has ever done that filming thing here."

"Always been like this?" Yu repeated.

"Only me, Shadows, and Beastials are here! I told you before!" The mysterious bear retorted.

"Ugh… We don't know what these Shadow or Beastial things are! Or what you are either, for that matter! You keep telling us to prove our innocence, but you're the most suspicious thing here! Maybe you're the real culprit!" Yosuke blew up on the poor creature. "And what's with that stupid costume!? I'd say it's time you showed your face! Hraah!"

He proceeded to tackle the mysterious bear to the ground before he pulled the zipper up. But he was not ready for the surprise that came with it when the head fell off. There was… nothing inside of the bear.

"Whoa!" Yosuke jumped backwards when the body of the mysterious bear was still flailing in its arms. "It's empty inside."

It didn't take long for the beheaded body to put its head back in. "Me? The culprit? I wouldn't do such a thing! I just live here. I just want to live here peacefully…" The mysterious bear said. "Okay. I'll believe that you guys aren't the culprits. But I want you to find the real guy who did all this. You have to stop him. Promise me, or else…" The mysterious bear continued. "I'm not gonna let you guys outta here."

"Y-You little…" Yosuke muttered. The mysterious bear practically threatened them.

"This can't keep going on! My home here will be a complete mess! And then… and then I…" The creature began tearing up. "Waaaah…"

"Wh-What're you crying for all of a sudden? Geez, this thing's really weirding me out…" The headphones boy said. "*sigh* Hey, what should we do?"

It was then that Yu remembered the words from Igor.

"It seems you will encounter a misfortune at your destination, and a great mystery will be imposed upon you…"

'Could this be the 'contract' that Igor was talking about?' Yu wondered in his thoughts. Seeing that he and Yosuke couldn't leave the other world on their own, he decided to make the hard decision.

"You're the only ones I can ask. Will you promise me...?" The mysterious bear pleaded.

"I promise." He told the creature, much to Yosuke's dismay.

"What!?"

"Th-Thank you!" The mysterious bear said.

"Damn bear… Practically holding a gun to our heads…" Yosuke groaned. "But… It's true that we came here to figure things out. So far, we're completely in the dark." He saw the logic in his friend's decision. "Look for the culprit, huh? Bring it on! You got my word, too." He agreed to help. "Might as well introduce ourselves… I'm Yosuke Hanamura, and this is my buddy Yu Narukami. You got a name?"

" … Teddie." The mysterious bear introduced himself.

"*groan* Figures…" Yosuke said. It was so obvious what that mysterious bear's name is that it did not cross his mind. "But how are we supposed to find the culprit in the first place?"

"I dunno… Oh, but I know where the last person came in." Teddie suggested.

"The last person? You mean Saki-senpai!?"

"I mean the person who came in and disappeared last time. I dunno the name. I'll take you there. You might find clues." The mysterious bear continued. "Oh, one thing first. You should put these on."

The two saw what was in Teddie's hand. They appeared to be two pairs of glasses; one was orange while the other was black.

"What're these glasses for?" The moment he put on the glasses, that was when the change was clear… literally. Through the glasses' lenses, the two were able to see clearly. "Whoa! The difference is like night and day. With these on, it's like the fog doesn't exist."

"They'll help you walk through the fog. Well, I've been here for a long time. So, you can rely on me!" Teddie told them. " Uh… But I can only show you where the place is. You guys will have to defend yourselves."

"What happened to relying on you!? Th-There better not be any monsters! You understand!?" Yosuke said, not liking the implications. "We brought weapons, but I mean… They're more for show! And we just got here! If it's so dangerous, why don't you do something instead of relying on us!?"

"Uh uh. No way. I've got no muscles." Teddie replied bluntly. "Oh! Oh! I'll give you guys moral support from a safe distance! How's that sound?"

'Can Teddie really not fight?' Yu pondered before he pushed the mysterious bear with one hand… And it all it took to push him to the ground.

"N-Noooo…" Teddie said, flailing his arms and legs like how a tortoise was flipped over.

"I-Is this thing for real!? Ugh, this is so lame…" Yosuke groaned. "We swore to find the culprit and this is all the backup we got?

"Oh yeah. Can I ask you something?" The mysterious bear asked as he stopped flailing. "Who's this 'Saki-senpai' person? Someone you know?"

"… That doesn't matter right now…" The headphones boy said. "Anyways, at least now we know Senpai might have been thrown in here. Maybe we can find more information, too. Let's get moving, Yu." And with that, Yosuke decided to go ahead.

Yu was about to join him, but…

"W-Waaait!" Teddie shouted as he was still unable to get up.

Yu decided to help him up before joining Yosuke.

… But as they left, they were being watched by a familiar creature before it flew forward, following them.

Yu, Yosuke, and Teddie entered what appeared to be a district where many stores lined up along the street. The skies were red with black lines.

"What's this place…? It looks like the shopping district…" Yosuke said.

"Some weird places have appeared here recently. Things are getting so tangled, I dunno what to do…" Teddie said before Yosuke realized the distance between the former and latter.

"Uh… by the way, why are you standing so far from us?" It was then Yosuke realized the implication. "You better not be planning to high-tail it if something does show up."

"Of course not!" Teddie denied the claim. "I mean. Uh, I can't stand too close, you know, I'd get in your way…"

"Hrrrm." Yosuke was unsure if he'd take it as a compliment. "Man, they really went all out on this… But out of all the places in town, why'd they replicate this one?"

"How should I know? This is reality for the one who's here." Teddie explained.

"*sigh* As usual, nothing you say makes any sense." The headphones boy said. "But if this is our shopping district, we're not far from Saki-senpai's…"

The three proceeded to walk a little further before they ended up in front of a store. Aside from the two blue vending machines in front of it, the doorway also projecting a red and black portal in the center as well.

"I knew it…! This is the liquor store that Senpai's parents run." Yosuke pointed out. "Does this mean… Senpai disappeared here? What could've happened?" But just as the two humans were about to enter…

"W-Wait a second. Th-They're here!" Teddie warned them.

"What?" Yosuke mouthed.

"What's here?" Yu asked him.

" … Shadows. I had a feeling they were going to attack!"

As Teddie said that, two slime-like creatures with blue masks came out from the red and black portal before each of them took shape into round pink things with black stripes, a lipped mouth and a dark red tongue that always sticking out.

Yosuke fell on his bottom as the others were ambushed by such monsters. The floating round-like Shadows proceeded to rush towards them with an intent to kill.

Just as things were hopeless…

"I am thou… Thou art I… The time has come!" The mysterious voice that rang through Yu's head before once again appeared as Yu clutched his head. "Open thine eyes, and call forth what is within!" His eyes snapped open before he saw an unfamiliar card sitting on his right hand. He flipped it over, only to see nothing… before it glowed brightly in front of him.

As he looked at the light, an unfamiliar word appeared in his mind. "Per… so… na." He saw that the card ignited in blue flames before a humanoid silhouette appeared in the center of it. He then crushed the card, causing the blue flames to ignite even further. "Raaah!" He screamed as blue flames also rose from the ground behind him.

While this was happening, the spying creature was alerted by this and proceeded to fly somewhere.

Back to Yu, the blue flames dissipated but in its place was a masked humanoid wearing a black jacket and had a spear of sorts wielded by its right hand.

Yu proceeded to glare towards the Shadows as he prepared to fight them.

The creature flew around the area before it spotted something.

It was a group of four purple jellyfish-like creatures. They have a round head with green eyes, a large mouth, and a pair of long antennas. Along with multiple tendrils that make up their torsos, they have a pair of long arms with an odd eye-like symbol on each hand and a yellow frill that separates the head from the torso.

The small, flying creature then let out a soundwave from the red spots on the wings that caused the purple jellyfish-like creatures to stop what they were doing and head towards the direction of where the 'intruders' were.

Of course, This was not gone unnoticed by a pair of creatures, who just passed by them.

"Were those…" One of the creatures asked.

"Yeah. It looks like a group of Keramon." The other creature told its friend. "But… there was something weird about them. I don't why but I don't like the look on their faces one bit."

"Let's check it out.." The first creature suggested as they went after the group.

(With Yu and co.)

"Hrah!" Yu shouted as he swung his golf club on one of the shadows, which were called Slipping Hablerie, damaging it. "Let's go, Izanagi! Zio!"

The masked humanoid called Izanagi proceeded to outstretch its free arm, causing a bolt of electricity rain down from above, zapping one of the Shadows to death.

"It looks like this type of Shadow is weak to electricity. You know what to do!" Teddie informed.

"Again! Zio!" Yu answered as another bolt of electricity struck the Shadow down before he finished the last one off with a swing of his golf club.

"Whoa… Wh-What was that!?" Yosuke ran towards Yu as they were safe… for the time being. "Did I hear you say 'Persona!? What was it—I mean, what did you do!?" He continued. "Hey, you think I can do it too...?"

"Calm down, Yosuke. You're troubling Sensei!" Teddie said.

"S-Sensei?" The headphones boy repeated.

"Gosh almighty! You're amazing, Sensei! I'm one impressed bear!" The mysterious bear complimented him. "I can't believe you were hiding such an amazing power! No wonder the Shadows were scared of you!" It was then that he had a realization. "*gasp* Are you the one who's able to bring people into this world?"

"I guess so…" Yu replied.

"Hah! That's what I thought! This is really something." Teddie then turned towards the other human. "Don't you think so, Yosuke?"

Yosuke responded by walking up to the mysterious bear before shoving him, which bounced back into standing up. "Dude, you call him Sensei and then don't show me any respect?"

"I'm sorry." The mysterious bear apologized.

"W-Well, your support wasn't bad, though. I gotta give you some credit for that."

"Huh? R-Really...? Heehee."

Yosuke then turned towards the two. "All right, you two keep it up—Gaaaah!" Something struck him from behind as he fell to his side.

"Yosuke!" Yu and Teddie shouted in unison.

"Oww… What hit me?" Yosuke said before he and the other came face to face with the attackers. They saw a group of four bizarre, purple jellyfish-like creatures.

"What the hell!? What are they!?" He exclaimed.

"Gehehehehe!" One of the creatures giggled.

"Bug Blaster!" The three other creatures proceeded to spew a sphere of black energy towards them.

"Watch out, Yosuke!" Teddie warned him as the boy barely dodged the attack.

"Whew. That was a close one." Yosuke said. "But seriously, what are they!? Are they Shadows?"

"No! They're Beastials!" Teddie replied.

"Beastials? You mean the other inhabitants of this world?" Yu asked, which the mysterious bear nodded.

"Gehehehehe!" One of the creatures lunged towards Yu with such blinding speed.

"That was fast!" Yu said before it smacked the golf club out of his hand.

"Bug Blaster!" The leader of the group then launched the black energy sphere from its mouth and hit Yu in the center.

"Gaaah!" Yu grunted in pain as he fell down on his back.

"Yu/Sensei!" Yosuke and Teddie were about to step in but the two found themselves surrounded by the other three.

"Gehehehehe."The creatures giggled.

"Damn it… Are we seriously gonna die here!?" Yosuke stated, not liking his chances.

"This is bad! Those Beastials separated us from Sensei!" Teddie said. "This is really bad! We're gonna be goners!"

"Damn it…" Yu tried to stand up but one of the creatures floated above him and proceeded to used its elongated hands to strangle the human.

'This isn't good… I can't summon Izanagi.'Yu thought as he was being choked to death. He began to lose consciousness. 'Am I… going to die here?'

"Get away from him! Hrah!" All of sudden, something smacked the creature away from Yu, releasing its hold in the process.

Yu immediately got up and took a deep breath. It was then that he saw what saved him.

It was a yellow creature that vaguely resembled a baby Tyrannosaurus rex. It had a large head, a theropod-esque mouth with rows of teeth visible from the outside, and green eyes. Its forearms are flattened with broad, three clawed hands, as well as vascular. And it has a stubby tail.

"A baby dinosaur?" Yu muttered.

"Whoa, another one!?" Yosuke exclaimed as he and Teddie were surprised. "Wait… Did that thing seriously save Yu!?"

The purple jellyfish-like creature snarled before it unleashed its attack on the intruder. "Bug Blaster!"

The yellow creature saw the attack coming before it dodged it. "Pepper Breath!" It then spewed an orange and red fireball from its mouth, something that was completely unbelievable.

"Geeaaaaaah…" It screeched before its dispersed into red particle.

"Wait a minute! Since when did dinosaurs breathe fire!?" Yosuke exclaimed as the other hostile creatures rushed towards the baby dinosaur-like creature.

"Time to level up the playing field! Stun Bubble!" A new voice chimed as the three purple jellyfish-like creatures got pelted by numerous bubbles.

"Whoa… Who was that?" Teddie asked as he, Yosuke, and Yu turned to see another newcomer.

It was a purple tadpole-like creature with developed forelimbs and underdeveloped hind limbs. It has a large mouth with pointed teeth, round eyes, and a tail that ends in web skin.

"Is that… supposed to be a tadpole?" Yosuke inquired. "They aren't normally as big as that and don't come out on dry land unless they're ready to mature into a frog or a toad." While wrapping his head around the creature, he then turned to Teddie. "Is that thing a Beastial too?"

"No doubt about it." Teddie replied. "It looks like it's in league with that baby dinosaur."

The three hostile creatures snarled at the two.

"Looks like we got their attention. Good." The tadpole-like creature said before turning towards its friend, the baby dinosaur-like creature. "Let's mop the floors with them!"

"Yeah." As it said that, the three purple jellyfish-like creatures rushed to attack them.

"Kid Claw! Stun Bubble!" The tadpole-like creature slashed through one of the hostile creatures before it spewed several bubbles towards two of the creatures, causing it to not only be wounded by the attack but also leaving the creatures in a lethargic state. "And Water Jet!" It then launched a stream of water from its mouth towards one of the creatures, killing it instantly. "Now's your chance!"

"Right!" The baby dinosaur-like creature complied. "Claw Attack!" It slashed through one of the purple jellyfish-like creatures, where it died from the attack.

The sole surviving creature snarled before stretching its arms forward. "Crazy Turn!" Then it was spinning like a top as it was heading towards the interfering duo.

The pair got out of the way but it was spinning back towards them.

"Try this! Spitfire Blast!" The baby dinosaur spewed a stream of orange and red fire towards the spinning creature. It took a while for the stream of fire to completely engulf the purple jellyfish-like creature, where it succumbed to the attack.

"That's the last of them." The tadpole-like creature turned towards the two humans and the mysterious bear. "You guys okay?"

"We're fine… more or less." Yu answered.

"This is getting weirder and weirder…" Yosuke muttered. "Just to make sure, you two are not with those jellyfish-like things, right?"

"Jelly… fish?" The baby dinosaur said in confusion before he realized what the human was talking about. "Oh! You mean Keramon?"

"Keramon? Is that what those murderous things are called?" Yu answered as the baby dinosaur-like creature replied with a nod. He walked towards his golf club before picking it up from the ground.

"And to answer your second question, no. We're not buddy-buddy with them." The tadpole-like creatures. "We don't bum-rush anyone the way they do."

"Can you be any more specific?" Yosuke said, still not comprehending the explanation. "Wait… What do you mean 'they'? Does that mean there's more of those monsters!?"

"Don't call them monsters!" The baby dinosaur scolded Yosuke. "But yeah! There are tons and tons of us! Big and small ones, fuzzy and scary ones, flying ones, swimming ones, you name it!"

"Is this for real…?" Yosuke muttered, feeling that he lost his grasp on his logic.

"I think I can confirm that." Teddie vouched. "Aside from Shadows, many types of Beastials inhabit this world. Some are docile, but some are really nasty. Like those Keramon things we saw. There are also some who like humans too."

"I see…" Yu noted. "So, who are you two?"

"I'm Agumon." The baby dinosaur-like creature introduced.

"And I'm Otamamon." The tadpole-like creature added.

"I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but what brought you here?" Yosuke asked.

"We were wandering around this area because it turned up recently until we saw those Keramon passing by us in a hurry." Otamamon replied. "Which is really odd considering this isn't their territory."

"You mean they're territorial?" Yu asked.

"That's right." Agumon replied.

"Those things are nothing but giggling psychopaths. I don't think there's anything wrong with them." Yosuke denied the claim.

"Anyway, why are you two here? This isn't exactly a place which humans are allowed to go to. Especially with all these Shadow things going feral whenever the fog clears up." Otamamon asked.

"We're here to investigate." Yu answered.

"Investigate? What's that?" Agumon asked.

"He means we're here to find out about what happened to the last human who wondered here." Yosuke said. "Somehow, she returned to our world dead and we think that this world has something to do with it. The same can be said to the other human who came before her."

"Wait, you mean two aren't the first humans to come here?" Agumon asked.

"Yeah." Yu nodded.

"You know, that explains why I had a funny feeling two times in a row that someone wandered into this world when those Shadows became violent." Otamamon said. "But I didn't realize they were humans."

"That's enough about us. Why are you two here if you're not going to attack us?" Yosuke asked.

"We're waiting for someone." Otamamon answered as he looked towards Yosuke. "In my case… I'm waiting for you."

"Wait what!?" Yosuke exclaimed.

"Does that mean…" Yu trailed off when he glanced towards Agumon.

"I guess you and I are partners!" The baby dinosaur Beastial said.

"Wait just a minute…!" Yosuke said. "You're waiting for us…? But how did you know that I'm the one for you?"

"Honestly, no clue." The tadpole Beastial replied. "We are just… waiting for someone for some time. It's just a gut feeling. We were waiting for our fated partner."

"Fated partner?" Yu repeated.

"I don't know what's the deal with this 'fated partner' crap… but you're looking at the wrong guy." Yosuke said.

"No way! You're definitely my fated partner. My instincts never lie." Otamamon said.

"Come on, Yu. You're not seriously believing in this, right?" Yosuke told his friend. "If anything, it's just an excuse to get our guard down so they can stab us in the back later."

"We'd never attack our partners! Had we wanted to kill you two, we would've done that from the get-go." Otamamon argued. "Is it proof enough that we aren't enemies when we saved you from those Keramon?"

"That's true." Yu nodded in agreement.

"Well… I can't argue with that." Yosuke added, seeing the logic from the argument.

"I think we can trust them." Yu told Yosuke and Teddie. "If they were enemies, they should've stayed out of it and let one of the Keramon kill me. The fact that Agumon saved me proved that he and Otamamon are different."

"You do have a point." Yosuke said as he conceded to Yu's statement. "I guess it doesn't hurt to trust them."

"If Sensei is okay with this, then I am too." Teddie said.

"Then it settles then! Hope we can be great friends!" Agumon said cheerfully.

"Since we'll be working together, I think we should introduce ourselves." Yu stated. "I'm Yu Narukami."

"I'm Yosuke Hanamura." Yosuke introduced himself.

"And I'm Teddie." Teddie added.

"Yu…? That's a funny name." Agumon remarked.

"I could say the same with yours." The silver-haired boy said.

"Nice to meet you! Yosuke!" Otamamon said when Teddie's name crossed his mind. "Wait… You're just Teddie? Not Teddiemon or something?"

"Well… To be honest, I'm—"

"I wish Junes would go under…" Then, voices began to echo around them out of the blue.

"It's all because of that store…"

"Wh-What the!?" Yosuke was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the voices.

"Oh, I heard that Konishi-san's daughter is working there."

"Oh my… How could she, with her family's business suffering like it is?

"I heard their sales have gone downhill because of Junes."

"Strange voices? That's never happened before around here." Otamamon commented before he looked at Yosuke. "What's wrong, Yosuke?"

"S-Stop it…" His fated partner said, ignoring the question.

"That poor father… to have his own daughter working for the enemy." One of the voices echoed.

"What a troublesome child…"

Feeling desperate, Yosuke turned towards the guide. "Hey… Hey, Ted! You said that this place is reality for those that are here, right!?" He asked. "So, does that mean this was Senpai's reality when she wandered in here?"

"I only know about what's over here." Teddie replied.

"Fine…" Yosuke then turned towards the others. "Whatever's going on here, we'll find out for ourselves!"

"Before we go in, I just want to say that we should be careful." Otamamon warned them. "I had a bad feeling the second those voices showed up."

After that, they proceeded to enter the store.

That's it for today's chapter. I hope you all enjoy it!

So yeah... They are called Beastials here instead of Digimon. The same way Digimon Survive refers Digimon as "Kemonogami." Will they be called Digimon? Who knows?

Don't forget to leave a review as usual :)
