Chapter 1685: with translation of chapter title

NO．300：Hero

The retention of the problem is mutual.

I won't ask you, so you shouldn't ask me either, even if this problem is laid out plainly before us, very obvious.

If Sai Luo Ultraman and Jie De Ultraman arrive, do we still need to worry about Bi Ze's safety?

Is it really necessary to guarantee his safety?

He didn't ask such a question, even though the other party might have already prepared the answer.

He merely responded calmly, then said nothing, just staying in Bi Ze's phone, listening to the outside Aomo puppet urging Bi Ze and Scorching Splendor to continue the original play plan and choosing to withdraw, still giving the two a world just for two.

He thought that perhaps his future self would still be unsuitable to speak, just as Aomo said; those two should cherish every second of their alien travel as a couple; he had heard that humans value many moments, including time spent with loved ones, which he didn't fully understand but could still respect.

Moreover, he originally was never good at handling Bi Ze's small talk.

After several months of grinding, it's still the same.

The freedom he seeks can indeed encompass all things, but his unwillingness to change his personality and communication style remains as such. In some formal occasions it's fine; he can freely interrupt the other's speech to prioritize efficiency, but putting this into daily chatter…… the Barbaric Beast. X really can't produce the gentle disposition that always matches the tone that Aomo Lindun has.

That perpetually stern face and overly serious conversational style might only change if he evolves into an ultimate form, becoming Beelzebub Beast. X.

But if you ask him whether he's willing to change?

He would say it's not the time.

As for when it counts as the time, perhaps we'll have to wait for a few more occurrences of today's 'temporary disappearance' before we can reach a conclusion.

After all, it's a boring conference, and the target is as elusive as possible, the Ancient Dragon Beast.

Just a few decades have passed, and this bunch is already itching to stretch their limbs.

Long ago he had set aside the Gluttony Throne, reserved for the next Beelzebub Beast, and the Barbaric Beast. X naturally scoffed at it; no matter what that bunch says, it's useless.

He just wants to continue his own attempt, to carry out his endeavor that, though its influence is minuscule, if achieved would be a subversive attempt within the Digimon framework.

For this, he is no matter what unwilling to part with his partner who can constantly amaze in conversation.

Claiming to be words that can only be spoken after witnessing another world, that creative free thought always opens a few gaps in the bottleneck of his predicament, allowing him to glimpse a higher level of vision.

However, his partner has no idea of the value he possesses.

Often envying Aomo Lindun's man, muttering that he also wants to be a ding-dong hero, yet he would unconsciously pause, saying things like 'just joking' or 'I know I can't' to end the conversation.

Truly ignorant.

Clearly he already has a companion, clearly he already has a partner, yet he still doesn't realize that he already fulfills the definition of a hero.

When exactly will he finally become aware of that?

Realizing that his own spoken definition of a hero can be expressed from small things, in fact that itself is an elucidation of himself?

——

"I'm afraid it's probably difficult?"

The puppet Aomo said, lowering his head to examine the damaged metal piece hanging on the red hilt.

The hilt comes from a red long sword nailed into the ground, named REPLIKNIGHTCALIBUR/Replica Knight Holy Sword, which can be said to be purely the toxic influence of Eastern culture, but for now he doesn't have time to mock Nate's origin, after all, being placed beside the Witch Beast and being stared at by Nate's blue eyes, he still has to receive the salute of the two Ultramen.

"Is it difficult? Clearly it looks like an ordinary terminal, yet we can't hack into it."

"Uh, we need to repair it first before hacking in, Sai Luo?"

Sai Luo, Jie De.

Plus An Qi with the second-generation device beside him scanning his body up and down, even without counting the puppet Aomo's ability to receive card transmissions from the main body, just the fact that the Witch Beast can undergo ultimate evolution by syncing with his Digimon soul already counts as a quite high-end combat configuration.

With such a lineup, it's not hard to understand Ba X's hesitation.

Is it still necessary to let that couple leave given this security level?

The answer is, of course, necessary.

After all, this security level is not permanently stationed.

On the contrary, appearing together too early in the possible criminal team's field of view is an indefensible hidden danger.

Even if the other party unexpectedly turns out to be quite ambitious and well-mannered, not having done the thing of those little shrimps beside you making a move, given everyone's current fame and the potential crime rate of Tianmen City—you can't guarantee when a little nobody will pop up trying to seize this opportunity to make a name for himself.

By then, the little nobody may indeed be a little nobody, but dealing with someone who only has a Magic Staff, a few fitness enthusiasts and androids would be too easy.

Of course you also can't forget the existence of Barbaric Beast X, but having already seen this time's missing Aomo, he has no doubt that such a thing will happen a second time in the future.

In that case, Aomo would have to drive them away before Sai Luo and Jie De arrive, before everyone has just gathered around like police and enthusiastic passersby, having only exchanged a couple of simple words, before the clearing scene even arrives—by gathering those two into the crowd of passersby and driving them away together.

Afterwards, safety would have to be thought of another way—considering Jie Si Ti Si and Sai Luo, these bodyguard-type characters who don't react much to human emotions—but of course the presence of a third wheel is still too strong.

At times like this, indeed a cool-headed Digimon would be better in a more inorganic environment, with less annoyance from interference.

In that case… the Monarch Beast seems not bad?

Or perhaps the Jie Si Beast, which from other angles seems to appreciate oneself quite a lot?

Many ideas, drifting far away, but at this crime scene with the warning line drawn, it's not the focus, nor can a conclusion be immediately reached by this demon; he can only let it drift parallel in his multithreaded thoughts.

Then the thread closest to present reality—unlike the Ancient Giant, the Ancient Giant Knight whose skills are entirely offensive has already slashed and exploded the target, yet also somewhat exploded some equipment. This equipment explosion is somewhat literal in meaning; Aomo Lindun looking at this edge sees microcircuitry and electronic-spark terminal devices, making it hard not to show a troubled expression.

Or perhaps hand it over to the Retrograde Official to try to directly perform a partial rollback?

But this also ultimately counts as an unexpected joy.

After all, his initial purpose was merely to have Nate go stir up the grass to scare the snakes, giving the local domains a little Ancient Giant universe shock at the same time, making it convenient for himself to collect those reactions.

As for whether the concrete, actual target is dead or alive, whether more detailed data can be retained…… these are all things he had never expected.

It's enough if the other party strikes first and has a criminal record.

That way, Nate's excessive defense won't be blamed too deeply, and he also doesn't expect to grasp the clue this time. After all, if he truly wanted to obtain data from the other party, why not look forward to the Tianmen City police, whose efficiency should match that of the Interdomain District's extraterrestrial law enforcement unit?

Considering that Biquete's two close friends both work here, the investigative model of replicating the Interdomain District in Tianmen City is not idle talk.

After all, he is not only supposed to handle the Beast Sect's scattered external tool monsters, but also to train the horse girls.

He finds it hard to devote too much time and energy to investigation, but these officers can.

This is their work, and also their duty.

You must know that the premise for Heaven Gate City to endure such high-intensity meddling by outsiders while still maintaining a high-intensity good reputation is precisely that they refused to compromise, letting certain crime bosses run everything for them.

They rely on countless vigilantes and their own constant hustle.

Whether they are tokusatsu heroes, superheroes, or Dong Yan-style chivalrous warriors, their presence in the various districts over there on Earth is always relatively hidden or scattered...

They can always be especially flamboyant here.

This is also one aspect of Heaven Gate City:

The Federation's district most likely to produce heroes.
