"Huh...?
What on earth is this stuff!?
It's so gross!"
Arriving at the edge of the area occupied by DigiDeath, the D-Reaper, Rika Makino looked at the constantly writhing, translucent, flesh-like substance and spoke with a disgusted expression.
"This should be the D-Reaper we saw in the Digital World, but I don't know what happened to it either.
Maybe it has something to do with the differences between our Human World and the Digital World."
Li Jianliang looked puzzled as he studied the D-Reaper before them, which was very different from the one the Four Holy Beasts had shown them.
"Who cares what it is? We just have to beat it.
Right, Growlmon!"
Takato Matsuki raised his fist and spoke to Growlmon, brimming with fighting spirit.
"That's right, Takato! Let's beat it!"
Hearing Takato Matsuki's words, Growlmon answered his Tamer without hesitation.
"You're right, Takato."
Just then, Hirokazu Shiota's voice rang out from a distance.
Immediately afterward, Guardromon, Kenta Kitagawa, and MarineAngemon appeared one after another.
"Hirokazu, Kenta, Guardromon, MarineAngemon! You're here too!"
Takato Matsuki was delighted to see Hirokazu Shiota and the others.
After returning from the Digital World, Hirokazu Shiota and Kenta Kitagawa had been grounded by their parents.
After all, the two of them had run away from home without saying a word.
So, naturally, their parents had grounded them.
As a result, Takato Matsuki had not played with them for a long time.
As for why Takato Matsuki had not been grounded, his parents truly loved him and had readily accepted Guilmon.
Rika Makino, meanwhile, could not be grounded at all because of her family circumstances.
Li Jianliang's father had been a member of the Wild Bunch, so naturally, he had not been grounded either.
Juri Katou had escaped being grounded largely thanks to Coronamon's efforts
