"Big sis, let Snowballmon play with me a little longer..."
Ever since Juri had cleared up the misunderstanding with her father, the Kato family had been filled with a warm, harmonious atmosphere.
Even the customers who often visited the Kato family snack shop expressed their envy of the Kato family's home life.

Once that connecting red line was severed, the ADR individuals would lose their ability to act.
Under the protection of Seiya's Mystical Shield, Juri's family and the customers safely escaped onto
