"Kaka..."
After the burning branch broke, a small piece of red-hot charcoal jumped out of the fire and fell to the ground. The faint smell of burning brought Aoliu's thoughts back from memories.
Lift your feet and stamp out the charcoal to avoid possible serious consequences caused by a little carelessness.
Then Qingliu looked at the carp that was almost baked, and felt that his mouth was secreting saliva uncontrollably, and even his stomach began to growl unsatisfactorily.
After gnawing fruits for a week, I finally got some meat.
Aoyagi picked up a grilled fish, walked some distance forward, and shouted towards the river: "Agumon, it's almost time."
"you eat first……"
Agumon's head floated and sank on the river surface for a while, chasing a fish mixed in around Magikarp without stopping, with the intention of not landing it until it caught it.
After standing there and waiting for it quietly for a while, he saw it appear right in front of the fish after a dive. After successfully biting it, Aoyagi blew the hot air and took a bite of the grilled fish.
A fresh aroma of meat gradually filled the mouth, and the taste of charred on the outside and tender on the inside stimulated the appetite. A third of the fish was wiped out in several consecutive mouthfuls.
The only drawback is that there are a lot of fish bones, so you can't eat the meat unscrupulously. You have to carefully pick out the fish bones for every bite.
But compared to the previous "Wild Fruit Banquet", it is already very good now.
In my impression, when Agumon eats fish, it seems to swallow them whole. It doesn't seem to have trouble finding faults. Aoyagi can't help but envy its digestive system.
Thinking of this, Qingliu returned to the fire and was about to reach out for the roasted carp next to it to prevent it from being too dry and having a bad taste. However, when he reached out, he realized something was wrong.
Agumon caught a total of four fish before and after. He had one in his hand, and logically there were three more that were being grilled.
But now, there are only two left...
Someone took it?
No, there's no way he wouldn't be able to notice someone around.
"That is to say, it is most likely a Pokémon..."
Qingliu's expression instantly became serious.
The fact that he was able to steal a grilled fish in just a few minutes between when he stood up to greet Agumon and when he came back now meant that the other party had probably been watching him for a long time and finally took advantage of this opportunity to strike.
Did you feel confident because of the smoke from burning branches or the smell of grilled fish? Or are you targeting yourself or Agumon?
Qingliu didn't know, but in such a short time, theoretically speaking, the other party should not have gone far.
It is necessary to find it as soon as possible and confirm the information and purpose before you can rest assured. Otherwise, no one can guarantee whether anything else will happen to the other party after stealing the fish.
If you dare to steal fish today, you will dare to kill someone tomorrow.
All hidden dangers must be nipped in the bud.
Qingliu quickly opened the panel and began to search for information on all nearby Pokémon in a blue light curtain that only he could see.
But what Aoyagi didn't expect was that after he looked around, there was no response from the panel, not even a Pokémon was found.
"Are you escaping so fast..."
Aoyagi was silent for a moment, and after waving to Agumon, he grabbed the remaining two grilled fish, took the initiative to approach the edge of the forest, and walked around in a circle, trying to shorten the distance between himself and the other party. See if you find anything.
But there is always only a string of ellipses jumping on the panel, without any other display.
This made Qingliu's originally relaxed mood suddenly become heavy.
Agumon came forward at this time, holding a fish in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Aoliu, what's wrong? What are you doing here?"
"A Pokémon just stole a grilled fish."
"What?!!"
At the mention of food, Agumon suddenly became excited.
It took a lot of effort to catch this, and repay Qingliu to fill his stomach. If there was anything left, it would also like to take a bite, but now it has been stolen?
Swallowing the whole fish in his mouth, and throwing the fish in his hand directly to the ground, Agumon said quickly: "Quick, tell me where it is, and I'll go get the grilled fish back."
"They must have run away. I didn't even find any trace of the other party's escape."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Agumon looked towards the forest with reluctance.
It was very dissatisfied with the other party's behavior of stealing food, but based on what he had learned about Qingliu in the past half day and what he said, it was obvious that he really had no clues.
Moreover, it has survived alone in the digital world for so long, so it naturally knows that the danger factor of the forest at night rises sharply, and there is no need to take risks, not to mention that it still has no clues.
"It's okay, only one was stolen, and the rest is enough to eat."
Aoyagi calmed Agumon's mood a little, and at the same time handed over a grilled fish.
"You probably haven't eaten grilled fish yet, why don't you give it a try?"
Agumon took the grilled fish, but instead of eating directly like before, he stared at the grilled fish in trance.
It suddenly thought of a serious problem just now.
If he had set off immediately when he heard Qingliu asking him to go back to eat grilled fish, and not stay in the water, maybe the grilled fish would not have been stolen.
And... the most important thing is that fortunately the other party just stole the fish and did not make a sneak attack or actively attack Qingliu.
Otherwise, Agumon wouldn't dare think about what happened to the friend he finally got to know.
It does care about food, but compared to food, it cares more about friends, even if it is only a very important friend that it has only known for a day.
If the fish is gone, you can catch it again. If your friend is gone, you are really gone.
For this, Agumon felt deeply guilty, and even the grilled fish he put to his mouth no longer tasted good.
Aoyagi had been watching quietly from the side, looking at Agumon who was holding the fish and motionless, and his expression was obviously not normal.
Except for fighting, Agumon appears to be a little nervous or short-sighted most of the time. Unexpectedly, he is surprisingly sensitive in this kind of thing.
This reminded him of how Taichi Yagami's Agumon "wrongly evolved" into ZombieGreymon for the first time in Digimon. Because its power was too violent and powerful, it lost control and hurt its companions, which caused him to have a heart attack. knot matter.
This is not good news.
Perhaps the degree between the two things is very different, but there are many examples where the backlog of psychological problems eventually leads to quantitative changes leading to qualitative changes.
Especially in the modern era before time travel, this phenomenon has become increasingly serious, and you must pay attention to it.
Qingliu slowly squatted down in front of Agumon, stretched out his hand and patted its shoulder.
"Don't blame yourself. You didn't do anything wrong. It was me who let down my guard because I wanted to rely on your strength. This is my personal problem. I should be the one to apologize to you. I shouldn't..."
Before Aoyagi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Agumon.
"No, you are my most important friend. I should apologize to you for putting you in a dangerous place. No matter what the reason is."
Aoliu looked with some surprise at the extremely stubborn Agumon who was looking directly into his eyes.
After a brief silence, Aoliu lowered his head and gently pressed it against Agumon's forehead.
"It's precisely because we are friends that I don't want to use your power."
When Agumon heard this, he immediately wanted to interrupt, but Aoyagi held his chin with the hand he had placed in advance, interrupting the spell casting.
"So, we both have problems with this matter, so we don't have to worry about who is right and who is wrong. I'll count to three and if you don't say anything, I'll treat it as your agreement."
While Aoyagi began to count down, he quietly put his shoulder against its chin, and pressed his right hand hard on its chin, directly cutting off Agumon's right to speak.
"three."
"two."
"Well...well..."
Feeling the growing power of Agumon's mouth opening, Aoyagi simply gave up on blocking its speech and let go.
At this moment, a picture suddenly flashed in Qingliu's mind. It says that the best way to stop a cat from meowing viciously at you is to block its throat with your fingers while it meows.
Then, the moment Agumon opened its mouth to speak, Aoyagi put his hand into its mouth with lightning speed.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
