[Digimon 06] Purple

Chapter 121 The Final Chapter: The Road to Bondage

"Did your dad really see it? And then?" Fei He grabbed Zi's arm and asked impatiently.She looked serious on the surface, but the twitching facial muscles quietly hinted that she was actually working hard to hold back her laughter.

In the street basketball court, the three-on-three basketball match between NeoXrosHeart team injected with fresh blood and teams from neighboring towns is in full swing.It should be said that the level of the two sides was evenly matched, and the score was still tight in the second half. The eyes of the surrounding crowd were mostly focused on the field, and the noisy cheering shouts were the best barrier to cover up.Therefore, for Fei He, now is the best time to cling to Zi and ask about yesterday's situation.

Zi glanced at the girl next to her with the word "gossip" written all over her eyes—this was probably the first time in Xiang Ding Feihe's life that he lost interest in the game itself during the Xros Heart competition—neither salt nor taste Di continued: "Then, Dad left You to have dinner at our house."

"That's, that's it?!" What I got was a completely different answer from what I imagined, and the burning gossip fire in Fei He's heart was half extinguished in an instant, "What, Dad's difficulty is so easy Get it done? Our Ah Zi is such a good cabbage, it would be too cheap for him to do it like this!" Fei He turned to the court angrily, and the person she was talking about was at the moment With a clean turn, he successfully broke through the defense in front of him. After reaching the basket, he threw a backhand and added two points for the XrosHeart team.

"Little Crane, how did you come up with such a weird metaphor..."

Secretly glad that Fei He didn't continue to ask, Zi couldn't help but recall the situation that day: After that, her father first drove her out to the supermarket to buy ingredients, then grabbed her mother's apron to cook for herself, and finally brought out a plate full of chili peppers at dinner. According to Shiori's speculation, this dish may be learned from the owner of the Chinese restaurant downstairs in the office.Not to mention that Dad kept piling chili peppers into Yu's bowl with an awkward and stiff smirk after dinner.

Yuu's goal set off a new round of cheers among the onlookers, especially the group of girls beside her, led by Asami Kisaki, whose high-decibel screams pierced the eardrums.The blond boy who once again became the focus of the audience also had a smile on his face, and turned around to high-five his two teammates one by one.After that, his eyes flicked across the crowd as if inadvertently, until he met the purple eyes hiding behind layers of crowds, and then he re-entered a new round of confrontation with his opponent with full momentum.

——That fool, he really honestly ate all of them.

"But then again," Fei He looked at the field with a lack of interest, "Why did Senior Da Qi choose to abdicate and give up the position of No.3 player to Ryoma Mogami?"

This is the second reason why Feihe can no longer devote himself to the game.The fundamental reason why she chose to follow XrosHeart was standing beside the bench on the side of the venue with her arms folded, wearing a red vest instead of Daiki Kudo, who was once regarded by them. The silver-haired boy who is the opponent.

"According to what Senior Kudo said, in two semesters, he will be promoted to the third grade to face the entrance examination, so he must devote some attention to his studies. You must know that the fact that he usually helps out in various clubs has already occupied It took up a large part of the spare time of the seniors. Besides, judging from the current situation..."

During the conversation, the ball that shuttled back and forth between several people happened to fall into the hands of Ryoma.

"Senior Kudo's choice couldn't be more correct."

After Ryoma received the ball, the opponent immediately stood in front of him and tried to find an opportunity to take the ball away from him.Yu Ze was guarded by two other players because of the previous goal, and it is very likely that he will be intercepted halfway when trying to pass the ball to him.

Suddenly, "Ryoma! Pass me the ball!" A loud voice came from behind.

Hearing Ji's voice, Ryoma suddenly showed a knowing smile.He gave Yu a wink, then half-turned around according to the words, posing for a pass to Shiki.On the other side, Ji also made an action to prepare to catch the ball.

Seeing this situation, his opponents immediately changed their tactics, shifting their targets to Ji's body one after another.

What is unexpected is——

Ryoma suddenly withdrew his hand that seemed to be about to pass the ball, turned around with the ball and broke through the gap exposed by the opponent, the first two steps of crossing and sprinting were connected with the third step, and he jumped high, and at the same time threw the ball in his hand to the basket!

After the ball rolled around the edge of the basket, it went into the basket smoothly!

"Look." Zi shrugged, as expected.

Daqi's decision is not unreasonable.First of all, this group of people used to chase Digimon around the city, so their physical strength must not be much worse; secondly, Ryoma played the role of a military adviser in the three-person team, and used different responses according to the changing situation. Strategy is his specialty; in the end, Ryoma, Yuu, and Ji have experience in cooperative hunting, and they understand their personalities and behavior styles, which also saves the running-in period for newcomers to join the team.Seeing Longma's like a fish in water in the arena, people who don't know the situation probably wouldn't think that this is his first battle.

"Ryoma---!!!!!! Well done---!!!!!!"

Just after Ryoma scored a goal, a familiar high-pitched voice came from the other end of the field.As the only girl who unscrupulously supported Ryoma today, the voice of Ai Liu alone overwhelmed Yuu's female fans.It's just that it hurts Lian who was standing with her. Facing the various eyes that everyone kept throwing at them, all he could do was lower and lower the brim of his pumpkin hat.

However, Ryoma's brilliant performance did make several girls focus their curious eyes on him.

Yuu and Ryoma's consecutive goals undoubtedly gave the last player in the team a few shots in a row.He originally wanted to perform well in front of Ryoma as a senior of the basketball team, but he didn't expect that the game was coming to an end, and he didn't score a few goals, but Ryoma stole the limelight.Therefore, in the remaining time, Ji continued to move forward bravely, coupled with the tacit assistance of two teammates from the side, and scored several goals.

The referee's whistle sounded after the timer reached zero, and XrosHeart won the game beautifully.

Yuu, who replaced Daiki as the captain, shook hands with the opposing captain, and the game officially ended.

The three players went to Daqi for the summary meeting after the game. Ms. Mingli, who volunteered to be the team manager, had already prepared towels and water bottles.Here Zi also followed Feihe to pick up the schoolbag, not wanting to be suddenly stopped by someone from behind.

"Senior Zi! Senior Zi!"

Zi turned her head and saw Kojima Yugo easily squeezed through the scattered crowd, jumping excitedly all the way to her.Looking back, it turned out that it was You Dou, with short hair that was messed up by himself, and the teasing smile on his face was exactly the same as that of Fei He who approached her 10 minutes ago.

"Senior Zi, I didn't expect you to come to the XrosHeart game! By the way, I remember Yuto said that Amano-senpai is your friend. Is this true?!" As usual, as long as in front of Zi, Xiao Shima Yugo would be so excited that his eyes would light up.

While maintaining a proper expression, Zi listened to Kojima Yugo's passionate thoughts, while secretly looking for a gap to wink and mouth to Yuto.And her younger brother, who was supposed to be on the same front as her, always looked away, pretending not to have received any silent threats and warnings from Zi Na.

Suddenly, Yudou, who has always been lazy, stood up straight, and the teasing smile gradually disappeared from his face.

Zi followed Yuto's line of sight, and saw a large group of girls surrounding Yutuan, constantly trying to give him sports drinks or other gifts.

"I mentioned it to you," Fei He leaned into Zi's ear and whispered to her, "There are countless girls who like Amano-kun, and the title of 'school idol' is not for nothing." After finishing speaking, she He didn't forget to pat Zi on the shoulder to show his sympathy.

Surrounded by girls, Yuu's voice was weakened a bit after it came out, "Thank you, but I won't accept it." Still the same soft temper, even the toughness that should be there when refusing They were all weakened by the gentle tone, and drowned by the twittering noises of the girls, the fragile rejection was easily buried, and the effect of the rejection could not be achieved at all.

Yuu sighed.He raised his eyes again, and suddenly saw Xiang Ting leaning on Zi's shoulder with a strange expression, and said something to her in a low voice.He couldn't tell the specific reason, but such a scene fell into his eyes, which made him feel a burst of... anger that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Please don't do this again!" When he came back to his senses, he realized that this low shout came from his own mouth.

The gentlest Amano-kun in my impression lost his smile.This silenced the noisy girls one by one.

Yu looked at the girls around him—he could no longer maintain the so-called "gentleness", and uttered the words clearly, "Your behavior has already disturbed my normal life, and this will only make me feel distressed."

"And, I already have someone I'm dating."

"Is this really okay?" Yuu still had a sullen face when he walked up to Zi, looking angry, "The 'idols' on TV all have dating bans, you are so frank with them today, No more girls screaming 'kyakya' at you during basketball games."

Yuu grasped Zi's hand a little angrily, and rubbed her thumb repeatedly on the back of her hand unconsciously, "I didn't need those titles at first." It is said that people with a good temper are the scariest when they are angry, and his sullen face is indeed a bit scary , "Initially, I would agree to senior Daqi to join XrosHeart just to divert attention. The so-called 'pro-guards' are all their own ideas."

Zi smiled softly, "But you didn't reject them at first."

The boy's thumbs back and forth stopped, and his fair skin turned red again, "At first I thought it didn't matter, and if I refused too bluntly, it would make them sad... But—this is also Xiao Zi What you told me—excessive soft-heartedness and self-righteous gentleness is actually a kind of trample and injury to their precious hearts."

He exhaled lightly, and seemed to be sighing, "I finally understand this piece of advice." Yuu paused for a while, and suddenly whispered in a volume that only the two of them could hear, "So it's from a woman As long as the child likes it, I only need to belong to Xiaozi."

His sudden confession stunned Zi for a second, and then her cheeks turned red.

As the sun set, a group of people returned from the stadium.

The dragon-horse trio was at the forefront.Ai Liu seemed to be still thinking about the points she lost due to the aggressive rampage at the beginning of the game, so she pretended to be a young lady and complained unscrupulously. The two clearly quarreled together, and the ferocity made both Longma and Lian feel ashamed.

Feihe and Mingli actually got together, and the two of them were discussing the episode of idol love drama aired last night.

Da Qi was originally entangled by two elementary school students, but he saw Ai Liu and Ji arguing in front of him. His sense of responsibility as a senior forced him to step forward to persuade him, but unfortunately the effect was minimal.

Yuu and Zi walked at the end of the line, and the farce happened in front of them made them smile at the same time.

This is the street of the hometown she is most familiar with, and there are family members, friends, and favorite people walking beside her.

It seems to be an ordinary daily life, but I really hope that I can go step by step like this, from now to the future.

The above is the story of the girl named Zi, her companions, and the Digimon.

The author has something to say:

Card fan wild card for two weeks, I wrote it over and over again several times, but last night I dreamed of being debt-collected, so I had to update it in a panic.

It's over~ There are two extra episodes~

The title of this chapter is taken from P4A's ED "The Way of memories-キズナノチカラ-". I just listened to this song and made up the scene of everyone going home at sunset~ I really like the sentence "Looking at the ordinary daily life, It’s from the past step by step to the present”, so I just rubbed it into the text~
