Chapter 19

But unfortunately!

Digimon are not Pokémon.

There is no such thing as 'no betrayal'; once the bond is gone, killing you is a frequent occurrence.

【Mu Hai Xingzi^ω^: You want to sleep with 'Venus'? You'll have to wait until you possess Ultimate-level strength; otherwise, either your stamina won't keep up, or your waist will get snapped in half. (A wicked smile from Pam)】

Cough, cough~

Snapped waist, my foot.

(ˉ﹃ˉ) Hee hee~.

【Nakano Miku: Unacceptable.】

【'Devil's Full Course Set': I don't see anything unacceptable about it.】

Uh.

As expected of someone with 'Devil' in their ID.

Speaking so pervertedly!

【Lu Shu: Hey, hey, hey, how is that perverted?】

【Lu Shu^_^: Nami, doesn't saying that go against your conscience? Over on your side, aren't there plenty of unions between Fish-Men and humans, or humans and Merfolk? @Thief Cat Nami】

【Thief Cat Nami: Uh, well...】

【Lu Shu: Lady Furina, we have quite a few demi-human races in Teyvat too, don't we? Just in Inazuma, there are many supernatural spirits; I even fought one of the Electro Archon's familiars last night. @Hydro God Furina】

【Hydro God Furina: Uh, well... um...】

【Lu Shu: Not to mention Sister Himeko; there are countless strange races among the stars, and the Xianzhoulian Alliance is a mix of Foxians and Dragons.】

【Himeko: Mm, that is true.】

In Herta's space station, there are quite a few Foxian technicians.

And many non-human lifeforms.

Thoroughly 'non-human' beings—machines, stones, trees, and so on; similar to the 'monsters' in novels, they are too numerous to count.

【Lu Shu^_^: Cynthia, you shouldn't speak either! Over in your world, there is no reproductive barrier between Pokémon and humans to begin with. I recall there should be examples of such unions, right?】

【Cynthia:... Uh!】

I forgot.

【Busujima Saeko: R-really? Such cute Pokémon, and you still... This can't be, right? @Cynthia】

【Cynthia: Cough, cough, well, it's true. There are indeed quite a few similar cases; I was careless.】

【Lu Shu: So, if humans can do it, you should at least give it a try! @Hydro God Furina】

Like Gardevoir and such.

As for other Pokémon, forget it!

【Hydro God Furina: Eh, w-why are you... tagging me? (Blushing)】

Heh heh.

What else could it be?

You, Furina, are water, an Oceanid.

Naturally, you also belong among the 'non-human'.

First, plant a seed of 'subtle influence'.

To make puffing Furina easier later on.

【Lu Shu: Lady Furina isn't human either~】

【Hydro God Furina: Eh?】

【Nakano Miku: You want to puff Furina (Paimon is shocked)!】

【Hydro God Furina(＞n＜): Eh――, puff... puff Furina? Things like puffing, gods cannot marry.】

【Lu Shu^ω^: Does that mean you can marry when you're not a god?】

【Hydro God Furina: I-I-I... Oh right, what are your plans for the future? Why not come to Fontaine? No! How about we travel first? The scenery in our Teyvat is very, very beautiful.】

【Himeko: Such a stiff change of subject (Pam smiles).】

【Hydro God Furina: Hi! Me! Ko! Sis! Ter! (＞n＜)!】

【Cynthia: Alright, let's drop this topic; if everyone wants one, I'll give you a discount of 50 Credits and include an incubator as a gift.】

As for the matter between Lu Shu and Angewomon?

Tsk.

Too lazy to care.

If he has the strength to push her over, then let him push.

Capturing Digimon is much harder than capturing Pokémon.

And ridiculously expensive.

It subsequently requires Primary, Secondary, Intermediate, Advanced, and even Ultimate Awakening Factors.

Different Digimon require different Awakening Factors.

Moreover, capture must occur during the Childhood Stage.

Lu Shu must continuously raise it: SnowBotamon → Nyaromon → Plotmon → Tailmon, and only then will it finally become Angewomon.

Directly trading for Angewomon is impossible.

【Thief Cat Nami: Suddenly feeling like there's another trap here.】

【Nakano Miku: 250? Are you implying something about us?】

【Cynthia: Damn it! Giving you a discount isn't good enough? Then no discount.】

【Nakano Miku: Don't do that; Xi Xi Luona is the best (affirmed by Pam).】

Although her family was very wealthy, for her, saving even a single cent mattered.

Who would ever turn down money?

【Xi Xi Luona: Such a quick change of face; Miku, you've turned into a dog too!】

【Nakano Miku: Then I'll take number six.】

【Xi Xi Luona: You all wait a moment; let Fufu choose first.】

【Hydro Archon Furina: Do you have number five hundred?】

【Xi Xi Luona: You're making things difficult for me!】

Five hundred Pokémon eggs?

Where would one find that many?

Lu Shu's heart, however, gave a leap; was Fufu referring to five hundred years?

【Hydro Archon Furina: Then number two will do.】

【Lu Shu: Number thirty-six; my lucky number.】

【Busujima Saeko: Number eighteen; my birthday.】

【'Devil's Full-Course Set': Number four.】

It must refer to Demon Hunting Division Four.

【Xi Xi Luona: OK!】

【Ding: Xi Xi Luona has initiated a trade with you; accept?】

【Lu Shu: Accept!】

After retrieving the numbered spirit eggs one by one, Xi Xi Luona initiated trade requests for each of them.

Makima had only 168 points and instantly dropped to -82 credit points.

【Trade complete; please collect.】

PS: Today's five chapters are finished; begging for flowers, begging for votes.

016: Hatching in progress; attention from the Godly Li Brother (begging for fresh flowers)

Fontaine.

The Palais Mermonia!

"I'm done eating; see you later."

Upon seeing the 'Trade complete' notification, Fufu, who had been devouring small cakes, shot up with a 'whoosh' and dashed toward the dormitory.

That was incredibly fast.

Clorinde watched, utterly dumbfounded.
