WormmonWaaa! Erika! Stop! I'm sorry!

PlayerHuh?!

WormmonAh! Player!

WormmonIt's me! Wormmon! Help! Erika is torturing me!

ErikaYou need to straighten up and fly right! This is just a little reminder!

PlayerWhat?

ErikaSince we started sharing memory, this little guy learned how to hack, right?

ErikaThen he went and created his very own virus.

ErikaAnd then he went and tried out the virus on me!

ErikaNow all I can see on my screen is this stupid pixel art of Numemon!

ErikaSo now I'm teaching him with his own pixels!

WormmonWaah! My body feels weird! Turn me back!

ErikaI told you to make it, not to infect me with it! Let this be a lesson to you!

WormmonDon't get so mad! I was just using your own memory!

ErikaUgh...

PlayerHuh?

WormmonBut you did the same thing before you started Hudie!

WormmonTo show Ryuji how good you were, you turned all of Ryuji and Chitose's image files into pixel art!

PlayerEh?

WormmonWhat kind of pixel art, you say? It was all pink wo--

ErikaThat's enough! Next time I'll paralyze you, too!

WormmonWhy can't I say it?! Erika, you thought you were creating a masterpiece back then! I totally get it!

WormmonSo that's what I did too! I thought you of all people would understand!

ErikaWell you may think so because you just cherry- picked my memories, but for me that's a time I just want to forget.

ErikaLook at the memories chronologically, okay?

WormmonHuh? That's hard...

ErikaWow, you're better at sorting through my own memories than I am...

ErikaSuch a strange feeling... Like there's another me.

ErikaI need to lock the server so you can't go saying embarrassing things when I'm not around...

Ryuji...

PlayerEh?

Ryuji...We got a job.

RyujiI'm gonna hack into the Cyber Crimes Investigation Unit server now--Matayoshi's department.

Player?!

RyujiIt's a request from Zaxon.

Ryuji...

Player...?

ErikaRyuji, what about me? Can I come with you this time?

Ryuji...Don't do anything stupid.

RyujiFirst we need to snatch an insider's account.

Ryuji...The target is Matayoshi himself. Sorry, I need to borrow your account info.

Player...?!

RyujiI'll go get ready. Tell Chitose.

WormmonThat's great, Erika! You got Ryuji's permission!

WormmonErika, what about me? Can I come too?

ErikaHmm... Only if you can recover all my image files.

WormmonYikes! In that case, I better hurry!

Player...

ErikaWhat's wrong?

ErikaDo I think it'll be dangerous? Well, sure, maybe..

ErikaBut we're hackers. Sometimes we have to take on jobs like this.

Player...
