[Uchiurayama Kemmin no Mori]

[Chiba, Japan]

[Time: 01:20 PM]

"We're very sorry for the uncomfortable ride." A man around his mid-30s bowed at the group as they all awkwardly looked away. After that disastrous bus ride, none of them truly wanted to experience it again.

Apparently, due to a problem with the internet these few months, contacting the usual bus driver has been...troubling. And when they manage to contact one, they reveal that they're fully booked. So, they have no choice but to contact the crazy old man.

"To think the overreliance on the internet in this era could cause so much trouble," Izuku mutters with a sweatdrop as Mr. Kendo talks with the manager. "That'll explain why the man asked Mr. Kendo to call him after we arrived."

Izuku looks at Henry and Haku lying on the camping gear and suitcases tiredly. He lowers his body and nudges both of them.

"Hey, guys. Do you think the constant trouble with the internet could be caused by Digimon?" Izuku asked as Henry waved it off.

"Not usually, and we've been checking the Sea of Webs for a while since the start of trouble, but no signs of anyone caused this." Izuku frowns while rubbing his chin.

"What about Appmon?" Izuku asked.

"Nope, been contacting a few and they didn't see anything," Henry said while sighing.

"Well, this is gonna be more trouble than we thought," Izuku mutters.

"Why worry so much, Izu?" Haku asked.

"Trust me, if I don't worry about it when I finally forget, the universe decided to make fun of me by showing me the consequences," Izuku said as both Digimon sweatdrop.

"Don't you think you overthink it?" Haku asked.

"Let's see, we once let the water tap on to fill a water balloon, but we left it due to Mina suddenly meeting Sakura to the point we forgot about it. We ended up almost flooding the kitchen and grounded." Izuku said as they all sweatdrop.

"..." Both Digimon refuses to talk.

"Or the time we tried to help mom start the grill for our pork belly, but got to call with Kiri and Black Gabumon, only to almost burn the backyard because we left it on for what, 4 hours because we forgot?!" Izuku said as both Digimon have the decency to blush.

"Okay, you made your point," Henry said as Izuku hadn't done yet.

"And let's not forget the time-!" Izuku was cut off by Henry jumps into Izuku and covered his mouth with both of his paws.

"Okay, okay, I get it!" Henry shouted as his face was completely red. Izuku snorts before getting Henry's paws off his mouth and catches him before he falls. "Thanks..."

"You see my point?" Izuku asked as Henry nodded.

"I know, but we didn't find anything suspicious. So, relax, will you?" Henry said as Haku nodded.

"Yeah, Izu. Worrying too much won't help." Haku said as Izuku frowns.

"I know. I know, but...I still can't help but feel uneasy." Izuku admits. "I don't know what, but I feel there's something more that causes this."

"You probably overthink it." Henry dismisses it as Izuku looks at his partner.

"Am I?" He mutters before looking at his partners. "Be honest with me, is there anything weird in the Sea of Webs?"

"...can I be honest?" Henry asked as Izuku was confused but nodded. "I don't know what humans did to the Sea of Webs, but whatever they did turns it into that one beach you complain about how humans didn't give a single shit about anything but heroes and anything related to them!"

"...you mean Dagobah Beach?" Izuku asked in confusion before he did a double take. "You're telling me somehow the Sea of Webs is full of trash!?"

"Oh, it's worse than that! Spam emails!! Corrupted codes!! Virus!!! So many useless shits floating around the Sea of Webs like they're fishes!!" Henry exclaimed in frustration. "It gave us a huge trouble to navigate through! No wonder the internet is shit right now!!"

"Yeah, thanks to that, we have trouble to gather more information. All the Appmons were too focused on cleaning all the 'trash' there to help us. The whole world looked like...junkyards." Haku said as Izuku felt somewhat sad, wishing he could help

"Don't," Haku said, getting Izuku's attention. "Izuku, I know that look. You want to go there and help them, right?"

"...yeah." Izuku sighs.

"Don't. Right now, the Appmon don't have a good opinion of humans for what they did to their world. Sure, they aren't hostile, but they might've done something rash towards you because of everything that happens." Izuku didn't respond, feeling conflicted. After a few moments, he sighs.

"You wanted to help, but you can't because people hate you. Since when has life become so complicated?" Izuku mutters.

"Since we enter your life." The Digimon cheekily said as Izuku pulled them into a hug while chuckling.


[Later]

"..." Izuku deadpanned as he looked at the crowd of people camping at the campsites, where the manager said it was a perfect place. He forgot to tell them that it might be crowded.

After leaving the luggage/suitcases back at the luggage storage service, the group splits up to find a campsite. Back then, Mina and Kirishima asked Mr. Kendo why they even brought luggage/suitcases in the first place, and he replied that this wasn't the only place they'd visit for the two weeks of summer vacation, which made everyone excited.

And that excitement died down the moment they saw the current condition of the campsite.

"...so much for camping." Mina mutters.

"...so many humans." Sakura mutters in shock.

"How are there so many humans in here?!" B.Gabumon exclaimed in shock.

"...Let's go find another camping site." Izuku saw Mr. Kendo walks away and follows him, but for some reasons, Izuku feels like it won't go well.


[35 Campsites Later]

[04:51 PM]

"HOW ARE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE!!!?!?" Izuku sweatdrops as everyone snaps, but he can't exactly blame them. It's so weird that all of the 35 campsites they visit, they all are crowded. And the pile of trash scattered around the campsites isn't helping either. Izuku ddin't want to admit it, but seeing those slobs give no shit to the environment really ticks him off.

"They're right. How are there so many people? Did everyone decided to go to camping?" Haku asked as Izuku rubs his head before looking at his phone, showing the time. It's almost 4 hours and they haven't found a perfect spot.

He then looks at the map that the manager has provide them and he can't help but frown. All 36 campsites are all crowded and those campers didn't gives a shit to the environment, reminding him the Dagobah Beach once more and what Henry and Haku said.

'If I ever visits the Digital World, I would apologizes to every Appmon for what human has done.' Izuku thought before he looks back at the map. There's an empty place near the lake, which located several hundred meters away from the first campsite they visit.

Izuku wonder why is it not a campsite or a forbidden area. At the map, every campsite is marked with a green dot on the map while the forbidden spot is marked with red dots. But, there's neither of those at the lakeside.

"I wonder..." Izuku mutters before looking at the group. "Guys...I have an idea." Izuku said, getting everyone's attention before pointing at the map. "I found a place where it's neither a campsite or a forbidden spot. Wanna go and see what's it offers?"

"...who are you and what have you done to real Izuku?" Mina asks bluntly as Izuku's vein popped.

"Yeah, real Izuku would never suggest something like that!" Izuku's eyes twitch.

"Did he switched with real Izuku when we're visiting those campsites?" Izuku's lip twitch while grinding his teeth.

"Yeah, that's the only logical explanation." Izuku takes a deep breath before he gave them a sickly sweet smile.

"Kirishima." Izuku said sweetly as Kirishima shivers in fear. "Mina." Mina feels the hair on her skin rises up. "Kendo-san." The man and his daughter flinched.

"You're...not the only one who runs out of their patience, you know. Three hours of no empty spot and watching people acting like a bunch of pigs in a pool of mud, it did a toll to anyone. I'm trying to control my patience here and those fat slobs aren't exactly helping, and I don't need a bunch of people foolishly accuses me as an imposter like that old game. I'm suggesting a solution here and unless you all have a suggestion, " Izuku said as he squeeze the map. "Please...be my guest."

None of them spoke a word as they shiver in fear. It's like watching his mom threatens them to not bully him or else, leaving one hell of everlasting impression. They all believe that only his mother could do it, so they didn't expect Izuku to pull it off as well.

'Fuck, it's genetic!' They thought as Izuku's smile turns to normal.

"No objections? Good, now let's go." Izuku said as he and his partners walk away.

'Another mental note, never pissed Izuku off, ever!'


[Lakeside]

[5:19 PM]

"Whoa!" The group is in awe at the beautiful scenery in front of them. The beautiful clean lake that looks shines like a crystal, birds fly at the sky with grace, fishea jumping out of water, no trashes and crowds full of pigs.

"This place is perfect!" They all exclaim in happiness.

"Oh, you guys are here as well?" The group froze before turning around and saw Mirio, his family, and Tamaki. They all sit down next to the campfire with all the tents place on the back. "I thought you guys are gonna camps in one of those 'campsites'. Well, then again, it's always crowded at this particular date, so I don't blame you."

"Okay, this coincidence is just too freaky." Izuku mutters as the group rush towards them with an angry roar. "Wait, wait, wait, wait!!!"

"YOU BASTARD!!! YOU KNEW!?!?" Izuku, Henry, and Haku have to pull the group from mauling the Toogatas and Tamaki out of rage.

"Eeep!!"

"Let me have him, Izuku!!"

"We'll tear them apart!!"

"DON'T GO MAULING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T SAY A WORD, YOU CRAZY FUCK!!! WE'RE STRANGERS, OF COURSE THEY WON'T SAY A WORD!!"

"Let! Go! Izuku!!"

"DID YOU ALL EVEN HEAR WHAT I EVEN SAID!?!?!?"
