Following Floramon's rhetorical question, Ishida Yamato and the other three selected children fell silent.

In response, Floramon just curled his lips and did not take the initiative to relieve the three children.

After all, in the final analysis Ishida Yama and the three of them are just children.

After silently following Floramon for a while, Ishida Yamato and the others still asked Floramon some questions.

Therefore, Floramon "populated" some knowledge about the Digital World and Digimon to Yamato Ishida and other three selected children.

Of course, regarding Devilmon's information and the reason why Ishida Yamato and the others were selected, Floramon did not tell everything he knew, but selectively revealed a little.

Faced with Floramon's answer, Ishida Yamato and the three of them didn't know whether they should believe it or not.

However, Bugmon in Ichijoji Ken's arms firmly said that Floramon's answer had no problems and could be trusted.

As for Bugmon's statement, Ichijoji Ken and Gao Shiyue chose to believe it, Ishida Yamato was dubious, and Floramon glanced at Bugmon with interest.

However, Floramon only glanced at it and showed no problem in front of the children.

…

[Devil·Mantismon, mature stage, virus species, insect type Digimon.

It is said to be an experimental Digimon that was transformed into a virus hunter at a research institute.

Modified from the data of Mantis, it tracks the target as thoroughly as a precise machine.

With his cold-blooded character, both vaccine and data types are afraid of him.

The scythes on both arms are extremely sharp and can cut anything sharply into pieces.

Mantismon is a Digimon without eyes, but it has a red tactile sensor on its head that can accurately capture the target's position.

Now, this Mantismon has been eroded by Demonmon's power, and has gained strength far beyond that of ordinary Digimon of the same species.

His special move is "Shadow Scythe", which strikes the opponent with dizzying supersonic speed.]

After Ishida Yamato, Ichijoji Ken, and Gao Shiyue followed Floramon for a while.

A huge Digimon that looked like a mantis flew past at low altitude at extremely fast speeds.

Then, he stopped in front of Ishida Yamato and the others.

"If you find the chosen child, kill him!"

Immediately afterwards, a voice without any emotion sounded.

"Cross Strangulation"

As this voice sounded, the mantis crossed its arms and slashed out an "X" sword light towards Ishida Yamato and the others.

Faced with this sudden change, the children had not yet reacted, but the Digimon Gabumon, Patamon, Bugmon, and Floramon reacted quickly, and took Ishida Yamato with them.

They dodged the blow.

"Air Cannon"

"Small flame bomb"

"sticky net"

After narrowly escaping Mantismon's "Cross Strangulation", Patamon, Gabumon, and Bugmon quickly launched a counterattack.

However, Gabumon and the others are already lagging behind in the evolutionary stage, and they are still Digimon who were born only a short time ago.

What's more, the Mantis also received a demonic boost.

Therefore, no matter whether it is an air cannon or blue flame, falling on the mantis, there will be no ripples and it will not cause any harm to the mantis.

As for the silk screen of Chongchongmon, it is even more of a joke.

Faced with this situation, Gabumon and the other three Digimon all shrank their pupils, and then, without hesitation, they pulled their respective friends and quickly evaded.

Because Mantismon, who came with murderous intent, was "insulted" by Gabumon and the others' feeble attacks as if they were joking.

"Sickle Flurry"

As if to vent its anger, Mantismon frantically waved its sickle-like arms towards Ishida Yama and the other three Digimon, slashing out terrifying blades of light.

Facing this dense sword light, Ishida Yama and the three of them naturally evaded with difficulty with the help of their respective Digimon.

At this time, Floramon, who was standing aside to hide himself and "eat melon" quietly, also provided some "trivial" help, allowing Ishida Yamato and others to escape danger.

Of course, there will still be some scrapes and scratches.

After all, Floramon is not here to be a nanny.

Besides, how can we let these children know the dangers of the digital world without getting hurt?

Not long after, the mantis beast, which was furiously venting its anger, stopped its attack quite tiredly.

At this time, Mantis also wondered why he could go crazy so easily.

However, as soon as this thought arose, it was extinguished.

So, Mantismon stopped thinking and looked at the three Digimon on the ground who were in a miserable state.

‘?!’

'How could they be okay?'

Just when the mantis was wondering, he never realized that he had no idea of ​​finishing the attack.

…

After "difficultly" dodging the dense sword light.

The children and their Digimon were lying on the ground covered in bruises and exhausted.

"Ayue!"

"Xiao Xian!"

"Gabumon, Bugmon, Patmon..."

Ishida Yamato stood up with difficulty, looking for the figures of Takaishitake, Ichijoji Ken, and the Digimon.

Soon, Ishida Yamato saw Takaishitake and Ichijoji Ken, who were also covered in bruises and lying on the ground without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

At this time, a wave of anger, guilt, powerlessness and many other emotions surged into Ishida Yamato's heart.

"elder brother……"

"Brother Ahe..."

"Ahe..."

"Xiao Xian..."

"Ayue..."

Unfortunately, before Ishida Yamato could burst out this negative emotion, he heard a weak but very clear response.

Hearing these responses, Ishida Yamato burst out with strength from nowhere, causing him to stand up.

While swaying, Ishida Yamato seemed to see many scenes, but also seemed to see nothing.

An inexplicable emotion surged and rose in Ishida Yamato's heart.

"In order to evolve, whether Digimon are willing or not, they will actively or passively participate in various battles."

The words Floramon said echoed in Ishida Yamato's mind.

He doesn't want the people or Digimon he knows and values ​​to be harmed in any way.

'If we can't survive without fighting, then let Gabumon and I take over the battle.'

In my mind, I recalled Gao Shiyue's cleverness, Ichijoji Ken's shyness, Yagami Taichi's smile, Takenouchi Sora's smile...

There are many, many friends he is about to meet.

'I'm sorry, Gabumon, please forgive my selfishness.'

Ishida Yamato closed his eyes and expressed his apology to Gabumon in his heart.

Opening his eyes again, Ishida Yamato asked Gabumon firmly: "Gabumon, are you willing to fight with me?"

Hearing Ishida Yamato's question, Gabumon immediately answered with full fighting spirit: "Of course, Kazu."

After receiving Gabumon's answer, Ishida Yamato clenched his fists and said: "But our enemies are not only the mantis beast in front of us, there are many more unknown enemies..."

Before Ishida Yamato could finish speaking, Gabumon answered: "Ha, this is exactly what I was born for, isn't it?

Ahe!"

With Gabumon's unabashed response, Ishida Yamato's inner struggles and apologies disappeared like ice and snow melting.

Immediately afterwards, a feeling of connection with Gabumon came to my heart.
