Author Notes:

This is another short story one day I felt like writing XD.

A small situation about a Tamer finding about the "Secret Life" of his Partner after years of working together.

What I feel funny about this one is that it made a random person message me asking to know more about the characters, thinking they were my OCs that had some big backstory behind XD.

A Day Off

We have been working together for quite a while.

I met Koemon 7 years ago, when I was barely 15 years old, and we quickly became partners. It was a strange encounter.

He was a foul-mouthed, condescending bastard, and he saved my life. So I saved him back, and since then we have been best friends.

We eventually joined the DHST (Digimon-Human Special Tactics), and grew stronger together by keeping the peace and protecting the people. We always have each other's back, and trust each other for everything.

But, a few years back, he started disappearing every Saturday night, our day off, without explanation. I have asked him about it, but he condescendingly laughed at me and teased me about how much I wanted to know, but never gave me the answer.

I wouldn't worry too much about it if that was simply that, but after a while he paid me back all the money he owed me. He has always been borrowing money from me and never paying back, I had already gotten used to it, so when he stopped asking for money and then suddenly paid all of it back, I got really curious and worried about what he has been doing.

So, yesterday, I finally decided to follow him in secret and know what he has been getting himself into.

After he went out, I started to follow him, making sure to put all my training in the DHST into not being found out. And fortunately for me, Koemon has always been terrible at this part of the job, so he didn't find out.

Half an hour later, and finding out he had a sports car I didn't know about and had to follow, we arrived at what appeared to be some sort of night club. But, to be honest, it appeared to be more of a nest of gangsters.

A pair of Perfect Digimon guarded the entry. I think one of them was an Ajatarmon, but although I didn't know the other, it looked equally strong. Koemon walked towards them in a very natural way, evolved into Leomon, and high-fived the Ajatarmon, entering without being asked a single question.

There was no way I could get past those guards, and even less of not being noticed. But I came prepared.

It took me a few minutes to set it up and even more to find the right moment, but I managed to send a very small drone with a camera into the building. The jamming set up in that place raised an alarm in my mind, but the technology of the DHST is among the best of the best, and was able to withstand it. Though the image I received was a bit fuzzy.

What I saw inside was shocking.

It was an illegal underground casino!

And one of a very high class!

Humans and Digimon, all dressed in the finest clothes I have seen. The place was bright, clean, the very image of what one imagines of a place where rich people gather. And there were games as far as the camera could see.

It didn't take me long to find Leomon, wearing a very expensive looking suit. He was seated at a poker table… With two girls, one in each arm, seated on his thighs and clinging to him. Looking closely, they were both Digimon, a Mermaimon in a dark blue dress wearing expensive jewelry, and an Archnemon in a black dress with a victorian or maybe gothic style, covering half of her face with a fan.

And at his table… Was my boss. The head of the DHST in our region.

What the hell?

I continued watching for a while, and Leomon… Made A LOT of money. He made in half an hour what I make in a year. He was an absolutely incredible poker player. I couldn't listen to what they were saying, but I saw my boss crumble to the floor in tears…

Eventually, the camera was broken, probably by someone that found it and wanted to get rid of it quickly. Which was my signal to get the hell out of there. Fortunately, I didn't need to be exactly close to use that drone.

I came back home, not knowing what to think, and fell asleep not WANTING to think.

I awoke this morning to find Koemon asleep in his bed of our relatively decent but somewhat cheap apartment. He looked like he always does after a Saturday night, his bed a complete mess and he almost falling from it.

Apparently, my presence woke him up. He groggily looked up to me and spoke in his usual condescending tone.

"What the fuck do you want so early in the morning…"

…What…

…What should I do now…

Author Notes:

Like I said last week, here is the next one of my old works that I wrote before starting Digimon Ghost Strife.

What would you do if you were in the position of this guy?

Would you face Koemon and tell him about what you found out, would you act as if you don't know anything, or would you tell him to start helping pay the rent since apparently he has a LOT of money?

That damn monkey and his secret money...
