TTRPG with 02 Kiddos ft Rui-kun
Tumblr media
[AO3 Version]
• Canon compliant (KenMiya/Kenyako) + 02 group and Rui-kun (also includes DaiLui) • Comedy; Teen/Adult audiences.
Story: Takeru liked to read storybooks as a kid. He really enjoyed those stories from different places and cultures, myths and folktales. It’s not a surprise he was aiming to be a professional writer, and it was also working on his childhood memories alongside the digimon and the Chosen Children. It’s also not a big surprise that he would find fun in writing TTRPG sessions with friends -- yes, Hikari, Iori, Daisuke, Ken and Miyako. But this time he prepared something extra fun for their new friend, Rui.
-------------------//-------------------
The group of fearless warriors kept walking through the forest looking for the great evil who is trying to destroy their world and kingdom. In this group they had…
“Hey, Takeru quit narrating everything and hurry up! The kingdom won’t be saved if you keep doing monologues!!”
“Ah… But you see, I’m--”
“He’s right,” V-mon pouted, “Don’t you want to save the kingdom ruled by our king!?”
“Who was the king again…?” Patamon blinked.
“YOU FORGOT WHO’S OUR KING!?” Daisuke and V-mon gasped dramatically.
“... Did we mention a king before?”
“It’s Taichi-san,” Takeru explained, “Since he’s working in a Digital World-related department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs… Makes sense for him to be a king, right?”
“True,” Patamon nodded sagely.
“Y’ALL ARE WASTING OUR TIME!!” Daisuke interrupted them again, “Taichi-san will be mad if we don’t beat the great evil!”
“Huh, what’s ‘the great evil’ again?” Miyako popped in.
“The great evil, Ow the Edge. ”
“What?” Iori squinted his eyes, “I thought you would put Ichijouji-san as the enemy.”
“Excuse me…?” Ken looked at them, frowning, “My days of villainy have ended a long time ago, I don’t want to be the bad guy anymore.”
“Besides, I don’t want to date the villain!” Miyako pouted, “Unless you want an evil couple.”
“Here she goes, talking about her relationship status again,” Daisuke muttered in a growl. He hated the fact he’s still unable to confess his feelings for Hikari.
“What did you say, Dai-su-ke?” Miyako grabbed her guitar in hands, ready to smash it into Daisuke’s head.
“N-nothing??!” He babbled, wavering.
“I think we’re going off-topic,” Tailmon interrupted them, unamused.
“Who’s Ow the Edge, Takeru-san?”
“Ow the Edge…” Daisuke squinted, “Ain’t you making fun of Sh※d※w the H※dg※h※g, are ya!?”
“No, it’s definitely not related to Sh※d※w the H※dg※h※g. It’s just Ow the Edge.”
Daisuke’s brain couldn’t tell if Takeru was trolling them or being serious.
“Anyway, Ow the Edge is the evil guy and we’re going to beat him right now.”
“Wait a second,” They all looked at the seventh human there on the table, Rui.
“What is it, Rui-kun?” Hikari asked.
“I… I don’t understand why Takaishi-kun gave me this paper and told me to memorize it…”
“Oh I just made up something for you, to read. Don’t worry~”
Daisuke whispered to Rui, “When he says that, get ready for something terrible happening to your character. Trust me and Ken, we’re his favorite victims.”
Ken nodded in silence, agreeing with Daisuke. Rui was still not sure what that meant though….
“Where were we again?” Takeru said, then he cleaned his throat and proceeded with the story.
The group had the most loyal knight of the kingdom in the lead who wielded a glaive, a magician and a bard couple (the bard girl had an axe which was also her guitar, the magician boy a twin spear with the ability to turn enemies into allies when touched by its edges), a duo of archers wielding crossbows and a swordsman (the youngest of them!)
They were going into the Forbidden Forest and--
“One question,” Wormmon stopped the group, “Why is it forbidden?”
“You see, little familiar, the forest is forbidden because it’s off the kingdom’s domains.”
“So we would be violating by trespassing, am I correct?” Iori deadpanned.
“But we’re six people and six digimon,” Armadimon added, “To not be trespassing we should just let two people pass.”
“... Makes sense” Daisuke and V-mon mused.
“No, it makes no sense at all,” Ken sighed.
“Can you please let Takeru continue?” Tailmon stared at them.
“Ahem,” Takeru cleaned his throat again,
They were going into the Forbidden Forest and suddenly… It started raining. Then, the knight said…
“Alright, leave it to me, I’m a master of the lightning spells!”
“Is he really the right person for that?” Miyako whispered to Takeru, “Letting Daisuke play with fire is not a smart idea…”
“HEY, I have the Digimentals of Courage and Friendship!” Daisuke snapped, “It’s obvious I’d be experienced in fire and lightning magic!”
“True,” V-mon nodded, “It’s not like Daisuke had exploded things while cooking!”
“Yeah it’s not-- HEY!!” Daisuke stared at V-mon, angrily.
“I think I should use the power of my Digimental” Iori looked at his sword, “Why would we need The Digimental of Friendship if there’s no Lightnin--”
A strong lightning crashed into their direction, but the knight’s Lighdra-glaive’s spells protected the group.
“... Nevermind,” Iori blinked.
“Are you okay, Miyako-san?” Ken asked Miyako, who he was shielding with his own body.
“Y-yeah… I am, thank you Ichijouji-kun” she answered with a smile.
“Miyako-san…”
“Ichijouji-kun…”
They were going to kiss, but--
“STOP FLIRTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAIN!!” Daisuke shouted, “I’M NOT A WALKING UMBRELLA FOR THAT!!”
“But you’re protecting us from the lightning, not from the rain,” Hawkmon corrected him.
“It’s Iori who is protecting us from the rain” Tailmon gestured to the boy using the Submari-Sword to keep them dry.
“But we’re not like third wheels for their romance!” Daisuke pouted.
“We’re six digimon and six humans, so we would’ve been the third, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten wheels” V-mon said as he counted in his fingers.
“I don’t mean it literally!! ”
“Oh…”
“I don’t mind that,” Iori said, then he and the group kept walking in the rain, but the sword was generating a force field protecting them from the water.
“Fine, fine… But stop flirting while we’re working!” Daisuke growled, and then kept using his glaive to control the lightning away from them.
“But…” Rui interrupted them again,
“Was it, Rui?” V-mon asked this time.
“Wouldn't it be more effective if they could seek a place to stay and wait for the rain to stop?”
They looked at each other and then to Rui…
“Are you criticizing Takeru’s story?” Patamon stared at Rui.
“Uh…”
“ANYWAY!!” Takeru said quickly, before they could get into a fight.
The group kept going through the dense and eerie Forbidden Forest,
“Why is it raining here though?” Wormmon asked, still on Ken’s back.
“Because of a spell casted by Ow the Edge” Takeru explained, “Human beings are not allowed in his territory.”
“Well, we should be closer!” Daisuke seemed fired up, then he pointed at the lair in the horizon, “THERE IT IS, THE… THE…”
The Lair of the Great Evil -- The LOGE.
“The Loge?” Hikari tilted her head.
“Are we going to a theater then?” Miyako blinked.
“No, the LOGE, not loge” Takeru corrected them, “It's an abbreviation of the ‘Lair of the Great Evil’.”
“Shouldn’t it be ‘LOTGE’ then?” Ken asked, unfazed.
“Lodge?” Daisuke frowned.
“No, it’s LOGE, we shouldn’t count ‘the’ there!” Patamon snapped.
“Why would you name it with a HARD abbreviation like that!?” V-mon complained.
“Oh I like to see your reactions” Takeru smiled.
“WHAT!?”
While the knight, the magician and the aspiring writer who’s also an archer were in a heated discussion about the lair’s name and abbreviation…
“...”
The mysterious and nefarious Ow the Edge appeared in front of them!!
“...”
“...?” Rui looked at Takeru on the table, confused.
“Ahem, Rui-kun it’s your turn.”
“Huh…?”
“The paper I gave you, it’s your character” Takeru gestured to the paper in front of Rui on the table.
“O-oh…”
“Wait,” Daisuke squinted his eyes at Takeru again, “Don’t tell me you…”
Like, I said… The mysterious and nefarious Ow the Edge appeared in front of them!!
“Oh ho ho ho… I’m Ow the Edge, the villain of this game…” Rui was… reading the paper normally?!
“Ow the Edge is Rui-kun??” Miyako exclaimed in confusion.
“Well… I’m--”
“You’re not taking it seriously enough…” Takeru sighed.
“Not enough…?”
“No offense but you’re reading and not acting, dagya.”
“Uh…”
“Yeah, you have to put some feelings on it!!” Patamon added.
“Hey guys, we shouldn’t go too harsh on Rui” Daisuke argued, “He’s still learning how to play!”
“True, I hate doing this but… Takeru-kun, can I simply give him an example?” Ken asked, politely and gently.
“Sure, you’re like a pro!” Takeru chuckled.
“Are you plannin’ to…” Daisuke raised an eyebrow.
Ken cleaned his throat and then…
“Huhu…HAHAHAHAHA, I’m the Digimon Kaiser, the one who controls the power of the darkness! I will dominate the Digital World and make you all OBEY me. CHERISH me. And LOVE me. Say, you dare to face me? HAH! Pathetic human beings, I’M THE PERFECT CHOSEN ONE! And ONLY ME can come here and PLAY this game!”
“Yeah, he just got overboard again…” Daisuke shrugged.
“Is he okay?” Rui was petrified by that 180º flip while the rest of the group was shaking their heads.
“Yeah, he got a little rusty since it had been like, 10 years since he was some edgelord throwing tantrums in the Digital World…” V-mon shrugged.
“Oh, that’s why Takaishi-kun said ‘like a pro’ when he asked permission to give an example…”
“R-rusty…??” Wormmon and Ken said, intrigued.
“I guess you unlearned how to be an edgelord, Ken…” Tailmon commented, shaking her head.
“I’m rusty…” Ken repeated it, quite disappointedly…
“Didn’t the Kaiser say ‘insects’ all the time?” Patamon mused.
“And he also used a whip,” V-mon added.
“He still uses the whip,” Wormmon and Hawkmon said out of the blue.
“Huh?” the others blinked. Ken and Miyako blushed awkwardly though.
“Are you sure this is the right hour to Talk about--” Daisuke squinted his eyes once again, this time at Ken, Wormmon, Miyako and Hawkmon.
“OKAY RUI-KUN” Takeru interrupted them quickly,  “YOU GOT YOUR CLASS OF ACTING SO GO AND UNLEASH THE EVIL IN YOU!!”
“A-alright… I guess I can try again” Rui nodded.
Then, Ow the Edge appeared in front of them, laughing maniacally and stomping his cane-staff on the ground!
“...OHOHOHO! I’m Ow the Edge, the great evil of the world! You peasants are stepping on my yard and you will regret it.”
He looked at Takeru, “Is it better…?”
“Yeah, a little better 👌” Takeru smiled.
“I’m rusty…” Ken was still sulking in the corner.
The warriors wielded their weapons, ready for an imminent clash--
“Hold on, I don’t think it’s right to fight him,” Daisuke interrupted them all.
“? Why not?” Hawkmon asked, “Isn’t he the source of all evil?”
“No, I’m the great evil, not the source of all evil” Rui said, deadpanned.
“Isn’t that the same thing!?” Patamon babbled.
“No?”
“I mean we can’t fight Rui, he’s our friend!” Daisuke argued back, “I can’t believe you did that to him, Takeru!”
“Daisuke, you're taking it too seriously now” Takeru chuckled nervously.
“No, you were just--”
“Or are you afraid of fighting me, Daisuke-kun?” Rui said it in a very seductive way with a smug smile.
“I… I don’t want to fight you, that’s all” Daisuke blushed and turned his face.
“Ok, I think he really got the spirit, dagya” Armadimon commented with the others, perplexed.
“Why not? You fought Ichijouji-kun in the past, didn’t you?” he scoffed.
“Yeah, but Ken was not our friend back in time!” Daisuke snorted, “So no, cut it out. I refuse to fight you!!”
“I guess you don’t care about your pathetic kingdom then,” Rui shrugged, “I’m the great evil, will you let your people perish only to spare me?”
“I’ll save you too then!” Daisuke stomped his foot on the floor.
“Where did I see this scene before…” Tailmon mused.
“Uh… It was when you confronted Ken-chan, I guess” Wormmon replied.
“So, will you accept defeat, Daisuke-kun?”
“No, I won’t!” Daisuke snapped, cupping Rui’s face “I will come after you no matter what you say, no matter what Takeru makes you do! You’re MY friend and I refuse to fight you!!”
“... W-what??” Rui blushed.
“HOLD ON!!” Miyako shouted, and interrupted their game.
“Daisuke, what’s wrong with you?” She looked at Daisuke, seriously, “This is just a game, a harmless game, no one is going to fight for real here!!”
“But I.. I… * ahem * I was also acting, yeah… Uh… yeah,” he immediately took his hands off Rui’s face, babbling.
Though Rui was… also blushing awkwardly.
“I guess someone is not into Hikari anymo--” V-mon had Daisuke covering his mouth again.
“Uh, what?” Hikari blinked.
“DON’T LISTEN TO V-MON HE’S… HE’S TOO TIRED FROM THE GAME, SO UH… I LEFT MY RAMEN ON THE STOVE, BYE!!” and he left the table, carrying V-mon.
“... Did I do something wrong?” Rui frowned.
“No, you just managed to beat Daisuke-kun without fighting him,” Takeru said awkwardly, “Don’t take it seriously.”
“Oh… Okay…?”
With the knight and his familiar out of the battle, Ow the Edge smirks and turns into the rest of the group and says:
“One down, Five left.”
“HOW CRUEL!!” Hikari screams, “HE WAS WILLING TO HELP YOU!”
“... You can touch me, really. I’m untouchable.”
“What do you mean?” Iori raised an eyebrow.
“... I’m cursed, remember? Great evil… We need an excuse for Daisuke-kun’s absence, sorry.”
“Ooh…” Armadimon exclaimed, “That’s clever.”
“We shouldn’t touch him then!” Hawkmon nodded.
“Alright,” Takeru said with a serious gaze, “if Daisuke is not here, the second-in-command is Ken-kun so--”
“... I’m rusty.”
Everyone looked at Ken, who was still sulking like a kid in the corner.
“Ichijouji-kun?” Miyako blinked, “What’s wrong?”
“You guys said I’m rusty… I don’t like to be the Digimon Kaiser anymore, but it’s still part of me… I created him and now I’m… I’m unable to be him even for a simple TTRPG sample!!”
“Y-you’re upset that you can’t do the Digimon Kaiser anymore!?” the five babbled, intrigued.
“... 💧” Rui blinked, still not sure what was going on.
“I guess we accidentally beat Ken,” Patamon shook his head.
“Two down…?” and yet Rui is still confused about this entire game.
“I think I need a break” Ken sighed, and then he and Wormmon left the table.
“Ah, wait…!” Miyako called him, but then she turned to the rest of the group, “I will calm him down and we will be back! Let’s go, Hawkmon!”
“Right, Miyako-san!”
Then Miyako and Hawkmon went after Ken and Wormmon. Rui frowned, he was thinking maybe he was just really bad at playing tabletop games…
Takeru sighed, “Well, I guess it’s only the four of us now… And our digimon partners, of course.”
“If you… want to stop I’m okay with it” Rui was feeling very awkward right now.
“Are you guys still up to it?”
“I’m curious about how it will end,” Iori mused.
“I don’t mind continuing it…” Hikari added.
“They might come back, didn’t they say it?” Armadimon asked, looking at the entrance of the apartment.
“Hmm… We’re at Daisuke’s house, so it would be odd if he just left” Tailmon replied with a shrug.
“I wonder where he went…” Patamon said, looking at Takeru.
“...”
With the couple down, our brave group was reduced into three members and their familiars. The heavy atmosphere of the heated battle against Ow the Edge and our heroes intensified second by second.
“I guess you can’t beat me.”
Said the great evil with a shrug. His cocky attitude and malicious grin were making the last hope of the Kingdom weaver, but FEAR NOT! The good guys had a trump card in their hands.
“Trump card??” Rui, Hikari, Iori and the digimon exclaimed, confused.
“Oh trust me, being an amateur writer means I need to make the story a little exciting.”
“But what’s that trump card, dagya?”
“It’s a secret.”
“WHAT!?”
“What does it supposed to mean!?” Hikari and Iori exclaimed.
“So… To be sure,” Rui approached them, “What happens if I beat you three? Do I win?”
“Technically yes,” Iori explained, “But this is an ongoing game, we have sessions and turns, so you could say you would win a turn or session.”
“The others can come back, can’t they?” He was worried about Daisuke and Ken’s reactions to that game though…
“Yup,” Patamon nodded, “They’re not dead in this game, unless the Game Master kicks them off the game.”
“Oh… So I didn’t kill them in-game…” he sighed in relief.
“Yeah, but don’t worry about that!” Tailmon smiled, “Takeru will find a way to add them again once they’re back.”
“But what is that trump card, dagya??” Armadimon pouted.
“It’s…”
“It’s…?”
“...”
“...?”
The aspiring writer and archer then summoned… A jar of sugar.
“A JAR OF SUGAR!?” Hikari exclaimed.
“Isn’t Rui-san…” Iori looked at Rui.
“Uh… Am I supposed to… do some dramatic reaction at the fact he got a jar of sugar?”
“Wait, I thought you hated sweets,” Patamon blinked.
“Yes, I do.. So… Uh… * ahem *”
“NO, MY ONLY WEAKNESS…!! SUGAR!!” He dramatically knelt on the floor, using the cane as support, “I’M DYING… NOOOO!!”
“We haven't used it yet” Takeru looked at him, deadpanned.
“Oh… Ok.”
The aspiring writer and archer then showed the jar to Ow the Edge, and with a firm tone of voice he threatened:
“We will end your days of evil with the HolyAngemon Sugar Brand! UNLESS!!”
“Wait, are you sparing me too??”
“No, I’m proposing a deal!”
“Ah, I see… You want something in return…”
“We won’t use the sugar if you stop threatening the kingdom,” Iori explained.
“Hmm…”
“You will undo the evil deeds you caused to us,” Patamon added.
“What evil deeds…?” Rui then took the paper and started checking the text, “Uhh… Fine, fine.”
“And you will turn all the sweets you turned into dust back to normal, dagya!”
“Wait… Did I go this far before…? 💧”
“No, Armadimon is just doing an ad-lib right now,” Tailmon shrugged.
“I suppose it’s because you don’t like sweets,” Hikari added, “You would turn them into dust.”
“... I might not like sweets but I have no problem with them,” Rui shrugged, “It’s just… I don’t like it that much…”
“Oh… I’m sorry” Armadimon bowed his head awkwardly.
“It’s okay, no hard feelings.”
And then the warriors stopped the great evil and everyone lived happily after.
“So we--”
“AH CRAP, I REALLY OVERCOOKED IT!!” They heard Daisuke’s voice from the kitchen.
“Daisuke, are you okay--” Takeru said and he and the others ran to the kitchen.
“Noooooooo… MY RAMEN!!” he dramatically cried.
“He really left his ramen on the stove…” Patamon commented.
“You thought we were joking!?” V-mon snapped, “It was our dinner!! For the night of games!!”
“Oh… Oh no” Armadimon sniffed, “Our dinner…”
“It’s okay everyone!!” They heard Miyako’s voice from the entrance of the apartment, “Our girl Miyako and her boyfriend had brought some dinner for us all!!”
“Miyako and Ken saved our dinner, dagya!!” Armadimon chirped.
“Hmm… Yeah, maybe we can eat ramen another day” Daisuke smiled, "Alright folks! Let’s clean the table and eat!”
“Alright!!” They all said together.

Interesting finding: 02 Episode 42 uses Yamato-Ken and Sora-Miyako combis in the story. Little did we know (as the viewers during the airing of such episode) that they would become canon pairings in the epilogue. Imagine how the viewers reacted about those married couples: Yamato-Sora and Ken-Miyako (sadly it was mostly heated arguments, even on this time).
Oh, it was absolutely controversial, and it still is now (at least in the mainstream; I feel most people in the hardcore fanbase tend to be a bit tired of it being a dead horse, regardless of what side of the argument they're on). In regards to the episode itself, I think some of it might have simply been pragmatic -- Yamato, being one of the most openly friendly of the Adventure group, would be able to form a good relationship with Ken, whereas Sora was supposed to be a Crest mentor of sorts to Miyako but didn't really get to interact with her a lot in practice (especially since even Sora's own debut episode in 02 had her say vocally that Miyako reminded her more of Mimi). But, of course, I've personally loved to derive humor from the fact poor Yamato and Sora had to get dragged around the world doing Chosen Child work when they'd just started a relationship one day prior...
Of course, Yamato and Sora had already long been planned since Adventure, and I think there's a pretty reasonable amount of evidence Ken and Miyako were already concretely in the works by this point in development, so it may have been intentional.

Rui: [trying to get to know Miyako and Ken once they became an item] So, how did you two meet...? Ken & Miyako: [look at each other] We were enemies. Rui: Enemies...? Miyako: Oh yeah, Ken-kun used to be this evil tyrant we had to fight. And he tried to murder us. Rui: ... Ken: I thought it was a game, but turns out it wasn't and I was a complete idiot. Rui: [reaches to his non-alcohol drink in silence; turns to Daisuke] Daisuke: Yep, that's true. No kidding. He also tortured me psychologically once and I almost got eaten by a digimon. Rui: ........

“PROJECT SCARD” (Novel)
CHAPTER 8: EVEN IF THE WINGS ARE SCATTERED AND BROKEN (Complete)
Translation & Raws: Naru-kun
(List of Chapters)
"Ran... stupid! You came even though Jin stopped!"
Ikuya yelled.
"I can't stop like Jin."
He told him the facts.
"Stop! Ran! You know you can never beat them alone!"
Facing Ran holding a sword of ice, the darkness of "Hecate" formed a huge weapon, lined up to capture Ikuya and kill those who would come near.
"Ikuya. Shut up."
"Freswerg" flashed.
Injuries and exhaustion weighed heavily on his entire body, but he moved forward without hesitation.
"Stop "Freswerg"! But I don't hate that kind of thing."
"I'm fine if I can kill this guy here."
"Trivia Double Sword", Gou Kaisei took a double sword that carried a thunder of flames, and Yukinari Kenmiya lightly raised a long spear and attacked him.
He kicked the ground and responded.
He dodged the flames emitted by Kaisei and the thunder that got caught in them, and barely missed Yukinari's stab that had been charged.
"Ugh."
The spear strengthened by "Chiyou" surpassed even the strength of an iron-splitting ice sword. A large crack ran across the blade, which surely should have been stopped.
He couldn't kill the impact and his body trembled.
"Yuki! I will!"
"Wow! Kaisei!"
In Yukinari's hands, "Chiyou's" weapon quickly transformed into a dagger.
Kaisei, who was wielding two swords, and Yukinari, who was holding a dagger in both hands, attacked him from the front and behind while he was still in a bad posture.
They got over it.
He regenerated the ice sword, blocked the path with the ice block, and continued to avoid double-edged cooperation as he desperately ran.
Those guys were strong on their own, but they knew how to fight to get the most out of each other. Selecting each movement.
He could see the options narrowing and driving him.
"Don't hit! That's why they're Twin Wings!"
"I want you to die soon, but one! Hey, die, hey!"
He couldn't handle the full onslaught of double-edged blades.
Kaisei's flame, Yukinari's sword grazed him.
Still, as he barely held onto his sword with a shallow hand, he stayed away from the double blade.
Opportunity for a momentary counterattack.
You could also do it one by one by stopping one of the legs with the "Freswerg" ice.
"Ran! Avoid it!"
When Ikuya's warning came, the darkness of "Hecate" was cutting at his feet. The dark blade that crushed the wall of ice that immediately grew, sliced ​​it sideways.
"Guh...!"
Ran rolled on the ground.
He was about to get caught. If he didn't do it correctly, he would die instantly.
Taking advantage of the rolling momentum, Kaisei's thunder flashed as he stood up and flew to the side.
If he had stayed down, he would have killed him for it.
His lungs ached, hot for oxygen. The physical form was exceeding the limit.
"Ran... No. Why did you come?"
Ikuya asked inside "Hecate".
"Did you really kill Jin? Did you leave Azusa-san? You're not that kind of person! You're a cool guy!"
Ikuya distorted his face, shedding tears.
"There were places where it wasn't."
Ikuya saw the essence of him and Jin, that's why he called himself leader.
Kaisei created a large whirlpool of fire and Yukinari once again had a long spear. The darkness of "Hecate" appeared here and there, surely tightening the siege.
"Come on, "Freswerg". I really like abandoned meat. But, you can see that you can't escape."
Kaisei, who sank his fangs into him, was a beast in front of his prey.
"Ran. I'll say it again. Run away! You can run away from this situation. Leave me alone! I've been dead since that night. Don't give up your life for me! It's an order from the leader!"
"I don't have to obey."
He held his breath as long as possible.
"Ikuya. You are no longer our leader. You are self-proclaimed in the first place."
There was a sound of humans falling.
Kaisei reflexively turned towards the sound and Yukinari shielded his back from him.
The darkness of "Hecate" was also reacting.
Those who fell were the members of "Trivia" who brought the live praise of "Hecate".
While he stayed away from the battlefield so as not to engage them in battle, he left himself to avoid escaping the living expenses.
"Well, you guys get out. Our employees are waiting. Trust me. Huh?"
He gave a friendly smile to the living expenses they had been facing suddenly.
However, they regained their composure due to their ugliness, and silently followed them and escaped outside.
The darkness of "Hecate" who tried to attack the keepers from behind was completely prevented by the iron fans of both hands.
"Oh...! 'Hecate'! But... it didn't work."
A man said that nonchalantly.
From his body, except for the battle in the special zone and the injuries he received since he got there, everything disappeared.
"I thought he was setting it up anyway. Haha! Maybe!"
"Not the case when you're laughing. Kaisei."
The double blade was surprised, but not upset. Well, he didn't expect it to backfire so much.
"Although you are young, you cannot break through your current wings. But it is brilliant. You have challenged yourself to create an opportunity to escape."
"The wound is also an illusion of "Morrigan". "Morrigan" himself secretly came with a ghost that blended into the surrounding landscape."
"Even in the "Morrigan" illusion, you would normally have noticed me or "Hecate". I pretended that "Freswerg" had split up and left on its own. Although I thought it was strange, we had to deal with it. Hey, you."
Kaisei was in a bad mood.
"Hey, if you make a little mistake, you're dead."
"Given the performance, it's a reasonable risk."
When they interacted in the special zone, they saw the double sword skill and "Hecate". The rest is if they could do it. So there was no problem.
"But that's it. You know that, right?! You can't escape "Hecate"!"
The darkness had moved. The darkness that protected Ikuya and the shadows that they and the buildings cast became weapons that flooded everywhere.
"I know."
Jin said that without dodging the approaching darkness.
The shadow blade that tried to catch his head disappeared.
All the darkness controlled by "Hecate" was pinched, scraped, and destroyed.
It was a golden arrow that fell like rain that did it.
No, it was a moonlight in the shape of an arrow.
"That girl!"
"Ah, "Artemis"?"
A torn roof with a double-edged blade. Azusa stood on the rooftop of the warehouse.
Azusa's hands, with her silver hair fluttering in the night breeze, had a golden bow.
That was the "God Bow Eokeaira" which is used only when "Artemis" wields her power to the fullest.
A fragment of lost ancient knowledge, festivals, and magical techniques, a weapon created exclusively for "Artemis" by bringing them together.
Azusa was thrown into the air.
The goddess with a golden bow descended.
Facing "Hecate" who was wary and temporarily stopped moving, and the double-edged sword that protected it, Ran and Jin stood side by side like Azusa's wings.
"Jin. It's later than planned. Don't interrupt Azusa-san's schedule."
"Sorry, Ran. The train was full."
"You came in my car. Even if the train is full, the arrival time will not change."
"I know... but I was able to prevent it well. I'm definitely like that."
"You know what I like? If you were better, I'll let you do it without telling me."
"I'll take a break even if I use paid leave."
"Ran, Jin. Why...?"
Beyond the darkness of "Hecate", Ikuya was stunned.
"I'm surprised, "Artemis". With the predecessor "Artemis" and the twin wings, I can't imitate this."
"I think I'm stupid. It's almost a new moon today. I'm going to bother setting it up at this age. It's not just standing, "Artemis"! My complexion is the worst!"
"I think my makeup was a bit light. Today was a meeting."
She couldn't hide the tiredness, but Azusa's voice and expression were great.
"I will answer. There are two reasons why I came here today, one is because this is my role in "Artemis"."
Azusa said that.
"We, "Artemis", protect those under the moon. There is no hesitation in saving Mikage Ikuya."
Yes, they did not have to be lost from the beginning.
++++++++++
Before heading there, Jin and Ran crossed swords.
The ice sword shook Jin's iron fan.
(No, I was made to fly.), Ran thought.
The iron fan was wet with blood from the wounds from "Hecate's" surprise attack.
Jin who dropped it had the usual irritating face with frustration.
He understood why that guy was poking around.
"You are not imitating wisely."
"There is such a development in animation. A development that moves with emotion rather than correction."
"Make a distinction between fact and fiction."
He ignores Jin who burst out and look back.
There was Azusa who should have been sleeping in the car. She was lying in the car, but her expression seemed amused.
"When did you start looking?"
"It's always good. It's not a bad feeling to be able to hear Ran's usually modest surprise, thanks to Jin's clever imitation."
Azusa loosened her cheeks.
He brushed Jin off, but she was still smiling.
"Because, Ran. If I don't goad him like that, he'll just try to make the right decision as a Twin Wing."
"Of course, because we are the Twin Wings of "Artemis". But..."
It was too late to sigh. The reason why Jin was unusually telling the truth was to bring out his true intentions.
"Azusa-san. I know I'm disqualified as Twin Wing. Still, I can't abandon Ikuya. He's alone. Let me go."
"I cannot allow."
Azusa refused.
"I can't win against "Hecate" and the double-edged sword, especially with one wing. You can't judge that."
There was no discussion.
The double-edged blade is stronger than information, and "Freswerg" didn't work against "Hecate".
"Don't get me wrong, Ran. I'm not saying don't move."
"Eh?"
Azusa knew what she meant Jin.
"I mean, "Artemis" has the same idea."
She said it as a matter of course.
"Jin, did you know I would make this decision?"
"We are twin wings, as the moon goddess wants."
Jin bowed reverently.
"Jin!"
He endured laughter with a bow. No, he couldn't take it at all.
"This was a preparation?"
"I have nothing else to say."
It was crazy, but at the same time no.
As he said before, his very idea would be to abandon Ikuya. He was so friendly that he was crazy, but in essence, he made judgments based on reason.
Even if he felt friendship towards Ikuya, if there is something that needs to be prioritized, he will cut it off.
However, he argued that he didn't admit it, that he really wanted to say it, and that Azusa would accept it.
It was really annoying to have a face that didn't look like anything.
"Ran, Jin. I regretted that night."
Azusa looked up at the sky where the thin moon had risen. Her gaze reflected Tamabbit Garden in flames.
"I also lost a lot. Which I can never get back."
Ran noticed what Azusa felt.
Azusa, who had just inherited "Artemis", fought "Trivia" four years ago.
The defeated "Trivia" lost its predecessor "Chiyou", and "Hecate" also temporarily disappeared from the main stage.
However, Azusa was unable to save Ikuya. The predecessor Twin Wings were also seriously injured in the battle, and "Freswerg" left a scar on his leg.
In this way, earlier than planned, Jin and Ran inherited the Twin Wings.
"So I won't cry this time. My heart feels the same as yours."
Azusa walked away from the car she was leaning on. Her pale, hot face was noble and icy.
"Now, "Hecate" will be stopped by "Artemis". The twin wings will defeat the double blade."
"Eh?!"
Ran and Jin's voices overlapped.
Under the thin moon, they began to move.
All of Jin's points were correct.
They were fighting the enemy that was a threat to the predecessor in a more disadvantaged situation than before. Battles to be avoided.
However, "Artemis" and his wings flew under the moon, to protect those under the moonlight.
++++++++++
The battle between "Artemis" and "Trivia", had been inherited with tattoos and spilled a lot of blood and deaths.
It was the dark weapon thrown by "Hecate" that cut the fire.
"Jin. It's work."
"Ran. I'll go home when I'm done."
Ran wielded an ice sword and Jin wielded a new iron fan to prevent the weapons.
Even if it was an attack from "Hecate", they could stop it from the front.
Ran and Jin, the twin wings came forward.
"Freswerg" froze the ground.
"The twin wings become a halberd that pierces in the name of the moon."
Tumblr media
The phantom flame of "Morrigan" burned an iron fan.
"The twin wings are a shield that repels every attack on the moon."
The double-edged swords Gou Kaisei and Kenmiya Yukinari responded.
Kaisei distorted his face fiercely and carried two swords with lightning storms.
"We are the "Double Sword of Trivia"."
The next, Yukinari, had a sharper frown at the back of his narrow eyes than the long spear he held in his hand.
"The blade is a harbinger of the night bestowed upon peace."
The twin wings and the twin swords attacked each other.
The darkness of "Hecate" moved there again.
An all-out attack with the intention of destroying the work, which was different from the previous attack which was brilliant.
Shadow and darkness swelled as one entity, bursting and flooding.
They destroyed the defense of the tattoo with a single blow, and countless weapons aimed to kill.
The same amount of moonlight arrows intercepted it.
Even if he didn't turn around, the figure of Azusa holding a bow came to Ran's mind.
"Listen, "Hecate". The darkness of the night is drowned out by the light of the moon."
Azusa fired an even more powerful arrow of light.
"God Bow Eokeaira" helps the moonlight converge due to her ability and to ease the burden of the tattoo. And the ability to manipulate moonlight by creating an image of shooting a bow dramatically improves accuracy.
The arrows of light that are shot into the sky break into countless pieces and fall from the night sky.
This time "Hecate" turned to defense.
The dark weapon was intercepting all the moonlight arrows.
"But that's exactly what I was looking for. To stop "Hecate" here."
A frozen voice resounded.
"I command you, my wings. With your fierce wings, crush the brutal sword."
"Understood."
"I have it."
The Twin Wings pierced through the clash between the moon and the night.
"Kaisei! This time I'll do it with "Freswerg"!"
It was Yukinari Kenmiya who answered.
The long spear that was swinging made a loud and sharp wind noise.
"You don't listen after you move! Then I'll do it with "Morrigan"!"
"Agni" Gou Kaisei headed towards Jin with a thunder of flames.
"I will! Hey! Surprise me!"
Yukinari's intense punch was being cut off by a punch faster than he expected.
Sheer speed in a confined space, he was faster than anyone he has ever fought.
"You're going to avoid it!"
He retreated into a series of attacks.
He intended to dodge the quick piercing and launch a counterattack where he drew the spear, but the opponent fired a slash faster than that.
Yukinari's weapon transformed into a sword.
"It's a hassle."
If he hadn't moved, they would have cut him down.
Originally, the information about "Chiyou" was obtained by the predecessor. He also got information from Jin who had a battle before.
After dealing with him, he judged him to be quite a troublesome enemy.
In normal close combat, the means of dealing with the opponent's weapons are fixed. If it's a spear, jumps into the wide space or cuts the handle. If the knife is your opponent, kill it before it gets close.
However, "Chiyou's" weapon changed every time he attacked. Each time, the time and timing of the attack changed, and he was forced to take different measures.
"It is also "Freswerg" that changes."
He was settling in while he was leaving.
The ice that spread from his feet reached Yukinari. The ice wrapped around his legs and he stopped moving.
Yukinari jumped before that.
The ice of "Freswerg" sliced ​​through the sky on the move he read ahead.
"I didn't win, that's right!"
"Chiyou's" weapon had changed to a double knife.
In an instant he was jumping into his pocket. Inside the ice sword.
The time that should have been advantageous until then became a disadvantageous state.
"Tsk...!"
Although he prevented it, he was unable to repel all the blades that cut him over and over again as he turned slightly.
As he took advantage, he backed up even more and swung the sword.
The blade was cut from the middle.
He was holding a wakizashi.
"That's a Monster Strike! "Freswerg" is weak!"
He was convinced that this was a strong enemy comparable to veteran Gou Kaisei.
Yukinari Kenmiya's strength was strengthened by "Chiyou", and it was not the same as the weapon that could freely change its appearance. He manipulated shape-shifting weapons one after another with tremendous precision and speed, unleashed continuous attacks without stopping and never ran out of breath. That guy himself was tremendously strong.
Definitely a man with a natural talent. Furthermore, he could see from the ever-changing swords that a considerable amount of sharpening had taken place. At least he couldn't beat that guy with either sword or martial arts.
"Are you going to finish your work?"
"Then cut more!"
The double edged sword, Yukinari Kenmiya, intervened again.
++++++++++
There was no limit to the size of the flame that "Morrigan" created, because it was an illusion.
When "Agni" Gou Kaisei shot out a swirling flame, Jin shot out a large piece of flame with "Morrigan" which swallowed it.
The flame "Morrigan" penetrated "Agni's" mass of flames and hit Kaisei directly.
The difficult thing there was if the flame seemed real.
It seemed like he could do anything with illusions, but it depended on whether Jin, the user, could create a realistic scene.
For example, if the current flame was made by a human with no expressive power, it should look like a red lightning bolt. If you don't accurately imagine the movement and texture when the flames collide, the psychological influence on the target will diminish and you won't be able to make the illusion look genuine.
Would you feel like making a CG video?
Anyway, "Morrigan's" phantom flame swallowed "Agni's" flame and pierced it, directly hitting Kaisei.
"Guh!"
The voice rose.
Even if it is an illusion, if the brain decides that it is real, it will feel the same pain and heat as if it were on fire. In the worst case, consciousness can affect the body and die.
Well, he didn't really counter "Agni's" flames because it was an illusion.
He avoid the vortices of the flames with minimal movement.
After that, it actually hit Kaisei, who had slowed down due to the phantom flames.
"What?!"
It suddenly stopped when he was about to leave.
The lightning from his limbs flared so badly it burned his eyes.
Fortunately his feet stopped him.
"Oooh!"
The beast's cry went up, and Kaisei rushed forward.
The phantom flame of "Morrigan" clung, but the movement was not slow.
"It's a lie. It should be hot and painful."
A flame of that scale would actually die, and even a ghost could blow away consciousness with a single blow.
"Oh! It's hot! That's why I'm patient!"
"Well, it's weird in theory!"
"I've fought your predecessor. I've eaten flames many times. It's a ghost, but I know it works well with real flames!"
"That kind of things."
Kaisei was holding his breath until a while ago. That was to avoid the image of hot air entering the lungs and oxygen deficiency.
And the key points were defense. Because he did not have the image of being mortally wounded.
If he dealt with it the same way as a real llama, even if the brain was ghost bought, there was little damage to the body.
In short, realistic measures against illusions are valid, and since they are illusions, if they disappear, there will be no real scratches left.
"You know how to prevent illusions. Forgive me."
"I'm not old enough for that! I envy you!"
As he knew this, he took notice of the annoyance of the Scard, who had survived most of the battles in "Artemis" and "Trivia".
The heyday of the combat staff should have passed, but getting older was quite an advantage as experience.
Jin relied too much on ghost flames.
There was a reason he liked to use flames. It wasn't just because the predecessor used them.
The more firmly the user's image is built, the greater the influence the illusion will have on the other party.
For Jin... perhaps Ran as well, the heat and horror of the flames he experienced in the attack on Tamabbit Garden four years ago was profoundly memorable.
The illusion of him made the flame stronger.
Also, the creatures have an instinctive fear of being caught in flames. In addition, it can be used in various ways, so it can be applied.
But it didn't apply to Gou Kaisei.
In that case, even the illusion of a blade that makes you feel like your arms and legs have been amputated should be polished.
It was too late to repent.
Even if he were to fire a phantom flame with a check, Kaisei will dodge, avoid, withstand, and close the distance.
He couldn't escape due to the flames and lightning from him.
Kaisei was slim and the two swords gleamed.
The sword that was drawn with a strong arm could not be avoided even by the defense of the tattoo, and stabbed deep into his body.
He should have seen it.
He was behind Kaisei.
Of course, flames weren't the only way to use illusions. What Kaisei had cut was the illusion of him that made him feel even the substance.
He hit the open iron fan aiming at the back and neck full of holes.
"Behind there!"
He was amazing.
Kaisei fully read that move and turned his entire body.
With a small twisting motion that he was able to make with the two swords, he fired a heavy slash.
The iron fan was ripped straight from the front, and Kaisei's sword pierced through it.
"That's also an illusion..."
The real Jin was by Kaisei's side.
But he couldn't make a surprise attack. After cutting through the two illusions, Kaisei gave chase.
Unlike Yukinari, who approached with an amazing reaction, Kaisei predicted his move. The experience of fighting for decades was beyond illusion.
"Illusion stopped!"
"That's right. It could be that kind of illusion."
He was trapped.
The two swords were protected with iron, but Kaisei, who possessed a muscular bone, had better strength on the ground no matter what.
The attack was heavy.
"It's hard to do."
"I'm having fun, "Morrigan"."
"It's hard to do that kind of thing, isn't it?"
He was the worst opponent including his personality.
A user of powerful and easy-to-understand offensive abilities, such as fire and thunder, and his physical ability was higher than that.
Killing for the first time by "Morrigan's" best illusion didn't work, and he knew the countermeasures because he had fought with his predecessor.
A difficult enemy who had ancient spear skills and dynamic power, and his personality was also problematic.
There was no advantage.
The fire that was released blocked the escape. Kaisei rushed into it.
He couldn't dodge it and was torn apart by two swords, and a hot and intense pain ran.
++++++++++
Jin had been renewed.
That was not an illusion. His blood spilled in the moonlight.
"Oh!"
"Full of loopholes, thanks!"
His body trembled with dull pain and shock.
"Chiyou" barely avoided the blow towards Yukinari Kenmiya.
Even in a fighting battle, it was awkward to move like a master. If he was careful with the weapons, the fists and legs would attack him.
He used the recoil received to distance himself and fire the ice blade like a projectile.
"What is this? You can't win!"
Attacks that should have been emptied were also avoided with minimal movement.
"It's weak. It's really weak!"
Yukinari laughed happily.
His comment seemed flippant, but his nature was different. The intensity of the attack was not due to his skill alone.
Absolute hatred was burning behind his narrowed eyes. That guy put some killing intent into the human sword.
"Are you still "Freswerg"? Huh?"
"Huh? Not really. They didn't teach you to speak properly."
"He taught me how to fight, how to make money, how to play games, and good food. The first one who taught me everything was that guy! Four years ago, the previous "Chiyou" who was killed by your predecessor!"
The killing intent increased. Ran understood the true nature of piercing hatred.
"Yes. Is there any grudge against "Freswerg"?"
"He Is in your predecessor! Kill you, kill "Artemis" and finally the predecessor without tattoos! I've been waiting for you, today is the day I will kill "Freswerg"!"
It was an attack.
He barely avoided it, but the wounds on his hands increased. If he got a little bigger scratch or if he used it as it was, he would scrape.
"You're weak! You're contained right now! You can see it! I tried to defend myself, but I crushed him first! Even if you try to buy time with ice, you won't make it! Even if you hit him head-on, he'll be stronger! Be strong, quick! There's no place where you can win! It's boring! I'm yawning!"
It was exactly as that guy said. He couldn't understand any of the attacks he launched, he couldn't reach him.
He felt the hot air from the side where Jin was fighting Kaisei.
He couldn't afford to take his eyes off Yukinari, but his battle was reflected in the corner of his field of vision.
Two swords gleamed in the burning flame and Jin collapsed in front of him.
Burning flames and lightning flashed around him stopping Jin's movement, and Kaisei defeated him with his two swords from the front.
He looked like he was trying to resist by casting a ghost flame and making his own ghost flame out of him, but it was no use.
"'Morrigan' died first! Because you couldn't go help! I'm sorry!"
A thrust of tremendous speed was continuously delivered from the long spear.
Superficially squeezing in several places.
"Die, lament your weaknesses and die without your hands and feet! Die! "Freswerg"!"
It ends when he stops moving, in the next moment.
"There's a word for my attack hole. Do you understand?"
Yukinari, who landed the last blow, had his eyes wide open.
An ice sword that passed through the perforation sliced ​​through his flank.
"Why...? You can't avoid your own attack. You should have seen the current move!"
"I got cut because I didn't realize the reason. You were late. Only the current shot was late. I was too aggressive and exhausted, and I rushed to make a big swing."
The blow of the ice sword that tore through the flank froze Yukinari's arm at the same time.
He kept the ice block waiting on the surface of the ice sword to fire the ice at this sword as he got past the attack. Ever since he started getting pushed
"You are certainly stronger than me, but you can't maintain that performance. Repeated attacks can wear down your body and mind and make you tired. If you have confidence in victory, you will be proud. As a result, humans make mistakes. So I kept receiving it until this moment."
There was no doubt that Yukinari Kenmiya was stronger than Ran Washimine.
He couldn't beat him and he didn't feel like he would beat him, but he had the power not to be beaten.
His power was the technique inherited from his predecessor "Freswerg", and the technique he was beaten by those ossans and trained with Jin and Ikuya.
With that guy, he could still believe that there was a time when he got upset and "Freswerg" got to "Shu".
"Freeze it 'Chiyou'! Hit the wings and "Freswerg"!"
"Damn!"
Yukinari struggled, but it was too late. The ice that had reached the arm from the flank completely froze the arm with the power of "Freswerg". The ice he threw on the ground stuck to his feet.
He hit Yukinari, who couldn't even wield "Shu's" weapon, and let his consciousness fly.
With half of him frozen, Yukinari crashed to the ground and stopped moving.
"A hole in an ant, a tear in the world. Is it?"
What he heard was Jin's voice, which should have been cut off and collapsed.
He look over there without looking at Yukinari.
Jin's figure that was cut by Kaisei disappeared.
From what he could tell, Kaisei had slashed Jin eight times so far.
He was cut by being trapped in a fire prison released by Kaisei, he read the assault from the blind spot and was cut.
However, it was all an illusion.
"Hey... I can't do any more than I do!"
Kaisei groaned.
Behind Kaisei appeared the real Jin, after the illusion of eight people. This time Jin had Kaisei's void on the wall.
The reason why Kaisei, who had identified all of "Morrigan's" illusions, didn't notice that surprise attack was simple.
The real Jin appeared in the flames that Kaisei had released and still remained. So Kaisei was working under the premise that Jin wasn't there.
"My flame is not an illusion. You received it correctly!"
"Immediately after being cut once! Because I only had this hand."
As Scard, he could prevent some flames with the tattoo's power, but the flames created by "Agni" lowered the tattoo's defenses. Furthermore, even a Scard would suffocate due to lack of oxygen from combustion, and gas poisoning could not be prevented.
Jin's clothes were burned and he himself was burned.
The reason he didn't burn to death is probably because he used the power of "Morrigan" to defend himself, avoided the flames, covered himself with his jacket and held his breath.
It was a matter of course, but he was relieved to be done dealing with such a situation. He would have exceeded the limit a few seconds later.
Jin, who clenched his teeth, but raised the edge of his lips, won the bet by going to the limit. He must have decided on that measure when he realized that his illusion was broken and he couldn't beat Kaisei even in head-on combat.
The lucky beating with a closed iron fan was decided on Kaisei's neck.
His strong body swayed.
"Haha! He's crazier than he looks!"
"I also use it to cheat. That's "Morrigan"."
Jin rarely smiled from the heart.
"In other words, I also tried to put up with it."
"Not bad, I thought they were alive under the protection of the goddess. But, hey!"
As he staggered, Kaisei turned around and tried to defend himself.
"Can I lose? I've been making sacrifices until now!"
"Your weakness is that you can only choose to make one sacrifice."
Jin made a ruthless second and third shot.
Kaisei stood still after being hit repeatedly, but he fell onto his back after being hit by a series of targeted attacks that didn't straddle.
"Maybe."
Kaisei's light voice was heard.
The two swords he was holding finally rolled away. His big body didn't move.
Watching intently, Jin finally breathed. Sweat ran down his cheeks.
"A hole in an ant is a Chinese word."
He told him as he was searching for oxygen.
"Large embankments can also collapse through anthill holes. In turn, a little carelessness can lead to unexpected situations. Did you hear?"
"It's a lesson that can be used in company management. Even in battle."
The double edged swords, Yukinari Kenmiya and Kaisei Gou, were lying down. There was no sign of getting up.
At the cost of defeating Ran and Jin, they were left exhausted and outright defeated.
But the work they should be doing hadn't even started.
They watched the back of the warehouse as they adjusted their breathing.
Ikuya was there.
Shadows reared their heads one after another around him, creating new weapons.
The arrow of moonlight emitted by Azusa shot through them, but even if they were destroyed, a new spring would sprout.
The darkness did not disappear under light or in shadow.
As they fought against the double-edged swords, Azusa kept shooting arrows without resting her attacking hands.
"Well done. My wings."
Azusa laughed softly even though she was already exhausted from the continuous use of "Artemis" in a phase of the moon when she couldn't use her power properly.
With a strong determination in her burning eyes, she looked at Ikuya without wiping her sweat.
"Now only 'Hecate' remains."
"Yes.", they both said.
Ran and Jin were ready for Ikuya.
"It was more than I imagined. Ran, Jin."
Beyond the darkness of "Hecate", Ikuya said quietly.
"When I woke up, I was a little jealous when I saw that they had become Twin Wings. If my destiny was different, I might have been there."
Ikuya shook his head.
"But I can't do it now. I understand that you, who have fought for four years, are definitely "Twin Wings of Artemis"."
"Oh, it's true."
"The past doesn't change, it won't change now. The past can't be changed."
"So is."
Ikuya dominated beyond the darkness of "Hecate".
He had a mixed expression of relief, loneliness, and determination.
"Finally...I'm glad I was able to talk to you. I was able to meet Azusa-san."
Ikuya reached out his arms to spread out his chest.
"Ran, Jin. Kill me. It's the leader's last order."
It was his voice with a certain will.
"What we have to do now is stop "Hecate" here. It's hard to tell who's starving and recognizes you as an enemy. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it."
So it was.
Azusa was suppressing the darkness of "Hecate". If she stopped doing that, "Hecate" should try to kill them and then eat everything.
"That's still a tattoo. There's a way to stop it."
"I'm not talking about Ikuya's loss of consciousness."
Jin said without feeling it.
"Oh, if that's a safe way to deal with it, "Trivia "should keep him asleep, except when they use "Hecate"."
However, in reality, if "Hecate" is hungry, it is necessary to dedicate oneself to living. "Trivia" could not escape the spell.
"Even if I lose consciousness, the "Hecate" current will continue to forcefully move. This guy's thirst conveys the anger of having his living expenses stolen in front of him."
"Unlike the previous battle, he seems to have offended "Hecate"."
Under Azusa's control, Ikuya looked at the tattoo of a sheep with hollow eyes on his chest.
"But if the Scard dies, the tattoo will stop. It can't use its power without the host. If I die, "Hecate" won't disappear and move to someone, but at least they can buy time until it starts moving again."
It happened when the previous Scar of "Artemis", died without having inherited it.
"You guys should be able to do anything after that."
"That's why...", Ikuya said, killing the tremors.
"Kill me."
"That's right. Ikuya is right."
As Jin said, it is the hand that could minimize the damage.
Now that the double-edged swords had fallen, they could easily kill Ikuya while Azusa stopped "Hecate".
They would then chase down a new host. There would be a conflict with "Trivia", but it was not impossible to take the initiative using the information department.
Once they secured "Hecate", they would be able to use multiple hands.
For example, the host Scard is put to sleep and, when he wakes up, they kills him. They could continue to do so and prevent the full awakening of "Hecate". "Hecate", who would not be able to feed if they continued on and on, might eventually disappear.
"Trivia" would be weakened after losing "Hecate" and should be able to be destroyed this time.
The most reliable and least expensive medium imaginable.
"You're right...but the way "Artemis" acts is different."
They looked at Ikuya again.
"Uh..."
Azusa walked out in front of the upset Ikuya.
Arrows in the moonlight scattered the darkness.
"Continuing the fight against "Hecate", my inherited "Artemis" will guide you. "Artemis" can put to sleep a hungry "Hecate" who has just woken up and has not taken any lives."
Azusa wasn't talking about normal tattoo skills.
By hitting the power of the god that has the tattoo, she suppresses the power of the other party's tattoo. It is nothing more than a scrape of existence.
It is similar to the act of a double-edged sword striking him with its released power to encourage the awakening of "Hecate", but it is more life-threatening.
Her own tattoo may disappear. The humans cannot resist the violently colliding forces of the gods, and Scard himself may die first. While requiring extreme concentration, the Scard that does so exposes an unprotected figure in front of the enemy.
It is a contraindicated job that Ran and Jin were also taught as a tradition from their predecessors.
Naturally, that places an even greater burden on Azusa. Originally, "Artemis", who ends the life of the Scard, seeks more compensation than ever.
Azusa, who shouldn't be able to enter the battlefield, was in a state where she might fall over at any moment.
In the worst case scenario, Azusa would die from that act.
"Artemis" protects those who are under the moon. We won't let anyone get out of this hand."
Azusa left the God Bow as she walked towards "Hecate" and Ikuya.
"I entrust everything to you, my wings."
The moment "Artemis" stopped attacking, "Hecate" turned into an attack.
Countless darknesses that had been intercepted up to that moment, attacked Azusa.
"Break it, "Freswerg"!"
"Cheat, "Morrigan"!"
The ice wall of "Freswerg" blocked the darkness.
If it was knocked down, it would create a wall of ice as long as it was crushed.
However, a huge dark weapon pierced through the ice and freely ass to attack.
Jin stopped him with an iron fan and knocked him down.
Azusa and the illusions created by Jin also attracted darkness.
Both Jin and Ran had exceeded their physical strength in the battle in the special zone and the battle with the dual swords. Their bodies felt heavy to the tips of their fingers. Every time they used the power of tattoos, their consciences seemed to fly.
"Ran. I'm sleep deprived."
"Shut up, Jin. Unlike you, I handle myself."
However, every time Ran saw Azusa's back, who trusted them and didn't look at the darkness of "Hecate", and every time he saw Jin's throbbing face that hadn't fallen yet, his body jostled. .
"Freswerg" and "Morrigan" shone brightly.
The Twin Wings stood side by side in the dim moonlight.
To defeat the hideous and fateful dragon of "Hecate" held by "Trivia".
"The Twin Wings become a halberd that pierces in the name of the moon."
They would penetrate the dark weapon while destroying a huge icicle.
"The Twin Wings are a shield that repels every attack on the moon."
The flame-clad iron fan half destroyed and repelled the dark weapon.
"We, the Twin Wings, swear it. Even if the wings are scattered and broken."
"Artemis" came to "Hecate".

Heyyo everyone. I wrote a new Rui-centered thing.
⚠SPOILERS FROM THE MOVIE AHEAD ⚠
Bonds
[AO3 version]
Summary:
Rui is invited to try Daisuke's new ramen recipe with the rest of the group.
Rui + 02 kids • Canon-compliant (KenMiya/Kenyako included) • Post-movie events.
----------------//-----------------
A few months after meeting Daisuke and the others, Rui started to visit them a little more while he waited for Ukkomon’s egg to hatch. He was patient and optimistic that everything would be fine now.
He was invited by Daisuke to eat his newest ramen-creation with the other five. But would they still want to tag along with him? Rui had no idea what true friendship was, because he believed every friend he made after meeting Ukkomon were just manipulated by the digimon like his parents had been.
It could mean that this group he just met would be his first and legitimate friends. Right?
He stood in front of the Ramen Yamatoya building, his hands shaking out of anxiety. He thought -- Should I get in? We were just strangers and I don’t come here too much to not… Bug him--
The door opened from inside and it was by V-mon.
“HEYYOO RUI!”
“A-ah… Hello.”
“Wow, you came really fast!!” the blue digimon exclaimed, and looked outside to see if anyone else was coming, “Really fast!”
“I… I was around, my workplace is in this area.”
“Oho! What do you do for life!?”
“... I work at--”
“THERE YOU ARE!!” Daisuke pooped out from the door, “HEY-WELCOME! GET IN, GET IN!!”
He was interrupted by Daisuke’s energetic voice. And dragged inside. He didn’t manage to answer V-mon’s question and at this point V-mon had lost interest in it, because he tried to answer it again and V-mon just started preparing the counter and led to the stool reserved for him.
He felt like a celebrity with that reception, and this really felt awkward -- Do friends do things like these…?
“Here’s the menu!” and V-mon handed him a card with the stuff included in Daisuke’s ‘Ramen Motomiya’ business;
“Oh, thanks…” he gently took it from V-mon’s hand.
“Hey V-mon, this isn’t needed! Everyone will come here to try out my new creation!”
“What is this new… menu item you were talking about?” Rui asked, out of curiosity.
“It’s a top secret! I’ll reveal its details once everyone is here!”
“Oh, so it’s a surprise…”
“Yup!” Daisuke smiled, “But no worries it’s not sweet! I mean, I know you’re not a fan of sweets so… I had to find the perfect balance of flavor that would make everyone satisfied.”
“Hmm…” He didn’t know what to say, it felt a little odd someone thinking of him and his preferences… But it made him relieved that Daisuke cares enough about him to pull things like these -- This is… True friendship right?
“Iori hates tomatoes,” V-mon explained, “So when Daisuke cooks stuff for everyone he has to remember to not add tomatoes on Iori’s portion.”
“I see…”
“And If someone is lactose intolerant I have to know beforehand so I can prepare a special version of the recipe! Or if they’re vegan. Or if they’re allergic to gluten. Lots of things, culinary school prepared me for this!”
“Yeah!” V-mon nodded, “And that so we cannot get into legal issues! I mean, the boss wouldn’t like to have this place closed because of a little mistake!!”
The door opened and the others came in. V-mon greeted them the same way as Daisuke did before -- Maybe it’s part of their business' greetings? -- and they all got reunited at the counter.
Hikari also came in with her backpack stuffed with something. Rui didn’t know why, it just felt a little… strange??
“So, what is the menu for today, chef?” Takeru chuckled, “You said you created something new.”
“Hehe, glad you asked” Daisuke had the sunglasses on and did the ‘anime glasses thing’ with the light reflection, “V-mon, please.”
“Alright!” and then V-mon served the bowls to the six people, “Bone appetit!” 
“It’s not ‘Bone’ !” Daisuke babbled, “Man, Takeru didn’t ya say it was something like ‘good meal’…”
“Oh, yeah” Takeru nodded, “V-mon it’s ��� Bon’ , which means ‘good’ in French. And ‘bon appetit’ means ‘enjoy your meal’ ”
“Okay but why is Daisuke using French out of nowhere?” Patamon blinked.
“It’s good to know a bit of each language if I want to open my business in New York!” Daisuke explained, “And maybe I’m considering the idea of doing deliveries later.”
“Is it because of my suggestion?” Iori asked and then Daisuke nodded.
“With the digital gate we can go everywhere!!” V-mon added, “So! We can do something cool like this!!”
“This is just one step to be made!” Daisuke bragged, “Now, enjoy the bowl. I’ll be waiting for your feedback on my most recent creation.”
“Don’t forget to describe the flavors!” V-mon added excitedly.
“So uh, what’s different in it?” Miyako raised an eyebrow, “It doesn’t seem different from the usual bowls you served before…”
“Just… Try it first,” he pouted.
“Will you keep using the sunglasses indoors?” Tailmon seemed quite bothered by that. Even Takeru had taken his beanie off!!
“Well, I’m not a real ramen chef if I don’t have them on.”
“It’s missing the spirals, dagya!” Armadimon commented.
“... I left them at home,” Daisuke shrugged.
“YOU HAVE SUNGLASSES WITH THOSE ANIME SPIRALS!?” Everyone seemed pretty surprised by it. Except V-mon, of course.
“Yeah, and they’re mine!” V-mon replied with a grin.
“THEY BELONG TO V-MON!?”
“I don’t think that should be a surprise” Daisuke took the shades off, “Takeru does the same thing, but with hats!”
“Ah, that’s true,” Wormmon blinked.
“Takeru-san has something equal to that too,” Hawkmon replied with a nod.
“We should quit arguing and start eating!” Takeru babbled nervously when everyone glanced at him, “Or else Daisuke will be even more upset than he is right now!”
The only person not taking part in that discussion was Rui, who was just sitting in the corner and already eating his bowl. Somehow him being this quiet made them all forget he was there… But he didn’t mind it either. He’s still just a stranger, maybe Daisuke only invited him out of courtesy…?
“...”
It’s good -- Rui thought. He didn’t expect something so simple to be good. But isn’t this what Daisuke is in a nutshell? Simple-minded and a box full of surprises. Now he had to compliment that, which is the hard part. The group were already chatting and even arguing about fashion accessories… He felt it would be rude to interrupt them all.
But… This is really good.
He felt even more awkward…
“AHEM!” Daisuke managed to spot he wasn’t involved in their shenanigans, so he just called everyone’s attention to the main subject, “Now, really… Just eat it. And tell me what y’all think about it.”
The group looked at each other and then to Rui sitting there in silence eating. V-mon noticed Rui was… crying??
“Oh no-- is it too bad!?” V-mon gasped, mortified “Daisuke, you made something so horrible he’s--”
“No.”
“Huh??”
“It’s good,” he said, quite awkwardly.
“Then why are you crying??” Patamon asked.
Why am I crying…?? -- Not even he realized the reason for those tears. The group then tried their own bowls, trying to understand Rui’s reaction to the food.
“Oh! It’s tasty!” They all commented.
“See the difference?” Daisuke chuckled.
“What did you do this time??” Hikari asked, impressed by the flavor.
“It’s a secret~”
“He was bored last night and accidentally dropped the wrong seasoning to the broth and then he tried it and got… this new ‘BOOM’ okay??” V-mon explained.
“So it was an accidental discovery,” Iori mused.
“What seasoning was?” Tailmon asked the next question.
“It was…”
Seriously, why am I crying by eating something tasteful? -- Rui kept wondering why a simple ramen bowl could bring him tears. Was it the spice? Was it too spicy? Or too salty?? It didn't make any sense, because he didn’t feel it was too spicy or salty… He just sat there eating in silence and trying to get it, why was he…?!
“Oh, I know! Is it love??” Patamon asked.
“Can you put love in a bowl?” Wormmon asked, innocently.
“Well, putting it that way, yeah it had a ton of love while preparing it for my best pals so…”
“Excuse me,” Miyako stared at Daisuke, “I’m the one who got the Digimental of Love here. Better you teach me your secrets.”
“Then, better you give me your Digimental of Love because I deserve it now.”
“Not a chance!”
They all laughed.
“...”
Meanwhile Rui, oh poor Rui… He was so confused about what the heck is going on with him that he was feeling like spacing out again. He didn’t even realize he finished his bowl quite quicker than the others.
So now he was just watching the empty bowl and thinking how can he describe those feelings and flavors and -- WAIT WHY ARE THEY ALL LOOKING AT HIM NOW?!
“Wow…” Wormmon exclaimed.
“Well… It was d-delicious!” He babbled aloud. Dang it, he’s feeling like a fool…
“Hey, take it easy” Daisuke said, “So uh… How’s that?”
“... It was good.”
“And?”
“... I don’t understand why, but eating this bowl gave me joy… Something I haven’t felt for a long time ago.”
“Oh, so you liked it!?” V-mon gasped.
“V-mon, crying does not always mean sadness” Ken started explaining, “It can mean joy too. Like when Daisuke says something dumb and funny, making everyone cry out of laughter. It can also be out of relief, and so do other reasons as well.”
“... I think I was crying because…”
“... You feel happy to be here, right?” Daisuke tried to guess it.
“H-huh?”
“How’s Ukkomon’s egg going?” Miyako asked, “Did it hatch already?”
“... Not yet,” and then he showed the tiny watch-clock sized egg from his pocket. They all looked at it, “I always take him with me, just in case…”
“That’s a good signal,” Tailmon smiled, and then looked at Hikari, “You have to never lose hope, he will come back. Right, Hikari?”
“Yes, We never lost hope so that’s why we were able to meet each other.”
“... I feel safe with you guys,” Rui blushed a bit. Oh so that’s why he felt a little nervous, right?
“We can help you form connections,” Hawkmon said this time, “But sometimes you need a little push.”
“??”
“Yeah, so that’s why I got you here, dude” Daisuke chuckled, “We want to know more about you!”
“And we want you to know more about us, dagya!”
“... Oh.”
“Ah, I have something to show to everyone!” Hikari then took the stuffed backpack and opened it. Then Tailmon handed each of them a knitted scarf “I made those!!”
“That’s so cute!!” Miyako exclaimed with glee.
“Wow, it has cool details on them!!” Daisuke was in awe, “It reminds me of my Digital World’s jacket!!”
“Mine is Patamon-themed” Takeru commented, then looked at Hikari, “You made all of those, with details… All alone?”
“Oh I helped too” Tailmon started to brag, “I evolved into Angewomon and helped Hikari to knit. So they have an angel touch, haha~”
“Literally an angel touch… (dagya)” The digimon repeated together.
Rui also had one in his hands. It looked like Ukkomon, somehow. Hikari is really nice to give him something too, isn’t she? He kinda needed a little more color in his wardrobe… He had just started to wear some black-and-gray tones after the day he discovered Ukkomon had been hijacking his parents’ bodies (and possibly the rest of the people he had contact with?)… He kinda liked his usual outfit, but this was kinda giving him the will to risk changing a little.
So he put it around his neck. Somehow the colors were too bright for his dark clothes… But he was feeling happy with that humble present. He looked really funny and just felt like a tiny puppy with a new dog collar and wagging his tail happily.
The others just looked at him being more relaxed and comfortable, but Daisuke had to hold his laugh. Yeah, it was a little funny to him. And if he laughed now he could give the wrong message. But that made them all just feel the barrier between them and Rui had turned a little less thicker.
“I can’t use it right now, it will get dirty!!” Daisuke said, blushing, “B-But I will do it later!! And I won’t take it off ever again!”
“It will get stinky and we won’t let you approach us!” Patamon pouted.
“I… I will wash it though!!”
“You can’t wash it if you don’t take it off!”
“I didn’t mean literally not taking it off!!” Daisuke’s awkwardness increased. At least no one was paying attention to Rui feeling so warm and happy with those people taking him to eat ramen and giving him a gift!
More laughs.
“T-thank you…” it was interrupted by Rui simply thanking Hikari, “I… I appreciate it.”
“When Daisuke-kun said he wanted to gather everyone to try a new recipe, I decided to knit those. Now we all have matching scarves. Isn’t it fun?”
“This is the closest to having your crush give you a gift,” V-mon nodded sagely.
“HahahahaHA-- WHAT DO YA MEAN, V-MON!?” Daisuke panicked.
Daisuke-kun is acting weirdly… He probably likes her -- Rui thought. He wasn’t disappointed, but he was now frowning?
“I appreciate it as well, Hikari-chan” Ken thanked her, “Thank you.”
“Yeah, everyone here agrees, right?” Takeru smiled. Everyone agreed in a nod.
“Oh, there’s one more inside” Patamon noticed a 8th scarf in the backpack.
“This one is for Wallace,” Tailmon explained, “He’s part of our friend circle too, don’t forget it.”
“Wallace?” Ken and Rui asked.
“He’s a friend from America,” Hawkmon explained, “But uh… He tends to flirt with girls.”
“He was flirting with Miyako when we first met him,” Daisuke added with an annoyed tone.
“He what ?!” Ken gave Daisuke a legitimate ‘Kaiser-like’ look.
“I think now that you and Miyako-san are dating he would respect that” Iori tried to calm Ken down. He could present the sadistic Kaiser just by that reaction.
“Better he does,” Wormmon said, also sounding very… creepy?
Ichijouji-kun and Wormmon are scary… -- Rui gulped in silence. That murderous glare and the group trying to calm them down… Oh yeah.
“Anyway,” Daisuke slammed his hands on the other side of the counter, “Better you give me your notes. I need approval from this team here. And this includes you too, Rui.”
“... Ah, right… I think I liked it…?” 
“The flavors were well balanced,” Ken said nonchalantly, “and your presentation of it looks refined even if you’re just starting this business. And I think it would’ve been good if…”
They watched Ken just rambling about Daisuke’s ramen  like a legit restaurant reviewer and it made Rui quite impressed.
“... And serving it with a good shot of the client’s preferred drink could improve the experience.”
“Is… Is Ichijouji-kun a food critic…?”
“He tends to do those long reviews,” Tailmon shrugged, “You will get used to him.”
“Yeah, he’s a nerd” Daisuke rolled his eyes. Ken blushed out of embarrassment.
“But we love him so he’s our nerd!” Miyako added, and the blush in Ken intensified.
“Sooooo… Do y’all approve this one?”
“Yeah!/Yes!/Mhm!” They all said.
This group of people and their digimon seem so refreshing… Is this what friendship means? Is this… what having real friends means?
Rui felt his encounter with those people and digimon had helped him to start healing his heart. Somehow… He realized what Ukkomon had said back in time, on his 8th birthday.
The ‘friends’ Ukkomon couldn't bring that time… They weren’t his classmates.
It was those people. It was exactly this group of people, apparently.
He took the egg from his pocket and looked at it, with a calm and warm smile:
Thank you, Ukkomon. For leading me to them.

@digiweek​ 2022 day 4: School’s Play (Drama/Angst) ---
"Miyako, there's... there's something you have to know."
If Ken had something to say, Miyako knew better than to stop him. Still, was bedtime really the best time to bring up important things? Especially when their relationship was so new and shiny... maybe sleeping next to him really was too good to be true.
"Is this like, 'we need to talk', or...?"
"No, nothing like that, please don't worry." Ken let out a chuckle, but when he spoke again, his tone was grave, rushed, as if the words had to be said before anything could stop them. "It's just... Well, sometimes I have nightmares about being the Kaiser again. I'm not gonna hurt you," he clarified, as if she needed the confirmation, "but I can be... loud."
Miyako tried to make out his expression. They were sharing a pillow, facing each other on the tiny single bed of her Barcelona dorm. It should have been easy, but with the curtains drawn, however, all she could see was his silhouette, and she didn't quite know what to say.
"Should I wake you up, then?" Miyako ventured.
"Yes, but that's not..." Ken trailed off with a sigh. "I'm sorry if I don't let you sleep."
"I don't care about that. You have nightmares about the worst time of your life, and you're worried you'll wake me up? Honestly." She huffed, hoping that saying things aloud would help Ken realize that his priorities were off. When he didn't answer, she added, "if you're having a bad night, then I want to stay up with you."
"I can't expect you to always be there."
"That doesn't mean I can't try," she retorted, stubborn. "Besides, you're always there when I freak out. You never make me feel as if I'm exaggerating, or it's all in my head, or tell me to calm down or... you get the point. How is this any different?"
"We're both awake to begin with," Ken muttered. After years of friendship, Miyako could discern when he was insisting out of pride rather than reason. The discussion was over, and they both knew it.
"Well, if sleep is what you're worried about, why don't we get to it?" She turned around and scooted toward him, pressing her back against his chest in a wordless request for him to hug her. "I'd suggest other things, but something tells me you're not in the mood."
Ken laughed softly, and said nothing more of the subject. Instead, he drew her closer, his warmth enveloping her like a rush of joy. This way, she could feel his muscles let go of the tension, his breathing against her ear soft and relaxed.
"Good night, Miyako," he whispered. “Thank you.”
