Yesterday, Sora had found a picturesque spot by the mountains and water with the likes of Vademon and other Digimon. She had intended to build a house there. However, unexpectedly, she encountered the returning Sleipmon today.
“You’re alone? Where’s Sampson?”
Sora looked around but saw no sign of Captain Sampson near Sleipmon.
“He’s waiting for us elsewhere.”
“Waiting for us? You’re taking me with you?” Sora was confused.
“Yes.”
Sleipmon nodded and solemnly announced, “Angewomon, Yggdrasill has appointed you as the Digital World’s ambassador to the Human World.”
“Huh?”
Sora was stunned.
‘An ambassador?’
‘Hey, hey, hey! I just arrived in the Digital World yesterday. I haven’t done anything yet. I haven’t even laid the foundation for my house, and now you want me to return?’
‘Damn it!’
‘Yggdrasill, you wretched deity, what are you playing at?’
In front of Sleipmon, Sora didn’t dare complain openly, so she muttered silently in her heart.
Still, this sudden appointment caught her off guard and piqued her curiosity.
“Why does Yggdrasill value me so much?”
She wasn’t even an Ultimate-level Digimon but just a little nobody. A big shot like Yggdrasill shouldn’t even know she existed.
Why appoint her an ambassador?
“Actually, I’m a Royal Knight.”
“Oh…” Sora responded flatly.
She had known that for years.
“Hmm? You’re not surprised?” Sleipmon was puzzled.
It was the first time he had revealed his identity to Angewomon.
Sora feigned surprise, “…Ah? You’re actually one of the legendary Royal Knights!”
Her acting was a little exaggerated, but luckily, her mask covered her eyes, hiding most of the flaws.
That’s why some actors suddenly perform better when their eyes are covered—eyes are the windows of emotion. When those windows are closed, the audience uses their imagination to fill in the feelings.
Imagination—truly invincible!
Thus, it created the illusion of good acting.
Sleipmon didn’t notice any flaws and imagined a surprised look on Sora’s face, feeling a little proud.
The name Royal Knight represented justice and honor—something every Royal Knight could be proud of.
Very few Digimon in the Digital World had seen a Royal Knight with their own eyes, and even for most, they were only a legend.
Sleipmon composed himself and continued, “Under Yggdrasill’s orders, I disguised myself as Kudamon and went to the Human World to observe humanity and promote peace between the two worlds.
“To be honest, I’ve been carrying out this mission for many years, but progress has been minimal. Then you appeared and changed everything.
“In just two days, you surpassed everything I’ve achieved in years!”
At this point, Sleipmon’s tone carried admiration.
Sora wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
Sleipmon went on, “So, Yggdrasill has appointed you as our ambassador to the Human World.”
‘…So, you’re the one who reported me to Yggdrasill?’
Sora stared at Sleipmon in silence.
“Is there a problem?” Sleipmon asked.
“Yes,” Sora replied.
“What is it?”
“Can I refuse?”
‘…Refuse?’
What an honorable mission—why would anyone refuse?
Any other Royal Knight would probably coldly reply with a “no.”
But Sleipmon was naturally mild-tempered and respected this Angewomon. He figured she must have her reasons.
Still, he was baffled.
He tried to persuade her, “I understand if you have your own plans, but Yggdrasill is the god of the Digital World. Refusing is disobeying a divine command. My advice is… reconsider.”
This was divine will—disobeying it came with dire consequences, and in ancient times, that would mean the total annihilation of your entire clan.
Sora lowered her head in silence.
She wasn’t weighing pros and cons. Rather, Angewomon said in her mind, “Obeying the will of the god may increase the chances of evolving into Holydramon in the future, if the conditions are met.”
Seeing her silence, Sleipmon added, “You’re not alone in this. I and DATS will support you.”
At this point, refusing would be impolite.
Also, with the Roleplaying Evolution Method—sow the seed, reap the fruit—everything she did now would influence her future evolution. So, following the will of god would increase her odds of evolving into Holydramon.
Sora thought it over and decided, “I’ll say this upfront—I don’t know anything about being an ambassador.”
Sleipmon, seeing her agree, smiled. “At least you know more than we do. Just do what you want to do.”
“…”
Sora paused, then asked, “By the way, what about Kurata?”
This was a serious matter, so Sleipmon also answered solemnly, “Yggdrasill has declared Kurata a major threat to the development of both worlds and has ordered the Royal Knights to search for him across the Digital World. If he’s still here, he won’t escape.”
‘Oh, that’s good then.’
In the original story, Kurata’s ultimate weapon was Belphemon, and as one of the Seven Great Demon Lords, Belphemon was indeed powerful, even absorbing Tokyo’s electricity to enhance himself.
But even so, he was defeated by Marcus and ShineGreymon Burst Mode.
And that same duo was no match against a Royal Knight. If not for the combined support of Thomas, Yoshino, and others, they wouldn’t have even gotten past one Royal Knight—namely, Crusadermon.
Now, with all the Royal Knights, including Crusadermon, scouring the Digital World for Kurata, it was like a cat-and-mouse game.
‘Kurata, you’re done for!’
‘—Let’s hope Kurata dies in the Digital World.’
Thinking this, Sora pointed to the Digimon building the house in the distance: Vademon, Goblimon, Mushroomon, Otamamon, Gekomon, and Kunemon.
“I want them to come with me to the Human World.”
When traveling, your entourage makes the impression. So, she needed some underlings to bolster her presence.
Sleipmon nodded. “No problem.”
Sora thought briefly and added, “One more thing.”
“…Go ahead.” Even the mild-mannered Sleipmon was starting to feel speechless.
‘Why so many demands?’
“As an ambassador, I’ll need a deputy.”
Sleipmon found that reasonable. “Do you have someone in mind?”
“BanchoLeomon.”
Ultimate-level Digimon were already rare, and non-mechanical, non-modified Ultimate-level ones were even rarer. Thus, in this Digital World, there was only one BanchoLeomon—and that was Spencer Damon’s partner.
Sora wanted BanchoLeomon because her real target was Spencer Damon.
He wasn’t just the first human to wield DigiSoul—he was also the creator of the Digivice, and in the original, he helped the main trio reach the conditions for Ultimate Evolution.
Now, Sora hoped Spencer could train her!
