PlayerWhere am I?

PlayerWell, let's just keep going forward for now.

Kind GirlHey! Sorry I'm late!

Kind GirlBut look! Look! I've brought food, just like you asked!

FuukaHey, wait your turn!

FuukaLekkie, you'll get yours soon enough! All right, come on New-New!

ElecmonFuuka, hurry up! Hurry up!

New-NewYour food is always so tasty, Fuuka!

FuukaJeez, you two are always such pigs!

LekkieI wanna play with Fuuka once we're done eating!

FuukaYeah, let's play!

New-NewHey, wait! I wanna pla-- *cough cough*

FuukaNew-New, you don't have to rush. Take it slow.

Player...

Player...

PlayerWas that a dream...?

PeteYou're awake! We've got a new case to solve! Stop sunbathing like a cat and check the board!

PeteSince Kyoko's not around, I went ahead and took this case for her!

PeteOur client's name is...oh yeah, Masanori! And he wants us to...help his sister, I think? That's it?

PeteEh? That's good enough for you? Uuuuh, I don't really get why you don't need to know more, but work is work, so I'm good.

PeteAnyway, he said to visit him in Ueno, where he'll explain what he wants more. Hehe, I feel like a real detective doing this sorta stuff!

PeteDon't look at me like that! I can answer the phone and do e-mail as well as anyone else! Anyway, onto the case itself.

Quiet VoicePsst! Over here!

Quiet VoiceHere, here. You're the Cyber Sleuth, right? I'm Masanori, the guy who called you up for this. Here, come this way.

MasanoriThanks for doing this for me.

MasanoriAnyway, it sucks to admit it, but I don't think I can protect my little sister by myself.

MasanoriI guess I should explain what I mean by that. You see, she's been going out every night lately.

MasanoriAnd I think...no, I KNOW she's hanging out with a bad group of friends! At this rate, I worry she's gonna turn bad herself.

MasanoriThat's why I need your help! I need you to get rid of them! They're deceiving her!

Player...!?

MasanoriI'm not asking you to kill them or anything, I swear! Just...put them in their place. Please, I'm begging you here!

MasanoriShe comes out here to this park every night. I followed her last night and saw her here!

MasanoriI'm gonna wait here tonight and I want you to stake it out with me, all right?

MasanoriHey, look...! There she is! Over there...

MasanoriThe hell are those things!?

LekkieFuukaaa!

New-NewYou're back! Yaaay!

FuukaAnd you two are back! Come on, let's play!

Player...!

MasanoriPoor girl... Look at those monsters! Pretending to be her friend and using her...

MasanoriCome on... You need to go teach them a lesson.

MasanoriWhat? Why not!? You see what I'm seeing, right!? If we don't do something, Fuuka's--

MasanoriHuh...? She looks like she's having fun... And stepping in would ruin her night...

MasanoriYeah, you're right. I haven't seen her smile like that in a while...

MasanoriEver since Tokyo got all messed up, she's just been so out of it...

MasanoriBut there she is...all smiles, happiest girl in the world. She doesn't smile that much even when I'm around.

MasanoriHeh, what a dumbass I am.

MasanoriThose guys, on the other hand... Well, they're not "guys," but...

MasanoriI should go thank them.

MasanoriThanks for dropping by today, detective. It... It means a lot to me you'd do that.

MasanoriI'm still a little worried about her, so I'm gonna stick around a little longer and watch her, just to be sure.

PlayerWait, I saw them when I was napping earlier! So it wasn't just a dream!

PeteWell, you look content. Does that mean you're done working now?

PeteAh well, good job.

PeteDid you get your reward for it, then?

MasanoriOh, hey detective. What's up? ...You want your reward?

MasanoriBut we're not done yet. I'm not paying up until everything is completely settled.

MasanoriYou have to stay and watch those three, too! So you'd better be back at the park tonight, too!

PeteThat's a bummer...but hang in there.

PeteThere's still time before nightfall. Why don't you sleep a bit? Everything looks better when you're well-rested!

PlayerYeah, might as well... Maybe I'll see what Fuuka and those Digimon are up to...

Justice-Loving CopCome here, little girl, nice and calmly... We don't want to spook those guys beside you now.

Concerned BusinessmanOfficer, you have to hurry up and get rid of those things before they eat that poor girl!

FuukaNuh-uh, they're not gonna eat me! Lekkie and New-New are my friends!

Justice-Loving CopGah, I guess I don't have a choice. These monsters have to be stopped!

Justice-Loving CopPeople are getting attacked by these things all over Tokyo... I'm not going to just stand here and watch it happen again right in front of me!

FuukaNo, don't! STAAAHP!

Player!!!

PeteAaah! You scared me! What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?

PeteI don't really understand what you're saying, but it's nighttime now, so you better get going and meet up with our client.

Pete"Fuuka and her friends are in trouble." How do you know that when you've been asleep?

Pete"It was more than just a dream."
"The three of them are in danger..." Hmm?

PeteI wonder if you're unconsciously connecting into a network or something while you're asleep?

PeteIf Kyoko were here, I bet she'd know what's up. Me, I just have no idea.

PeteMaybe it's a sign that your body is becoming unstable...

PeteOh, Kyoko... Come back soon, please...

Justice-Loving CopPlease, step away from the monsters and come here slowly, sweetie. I'm here to help you!

FuukaNo! I hate you all!

Justice-Loving CopThis isn't good...

Justice-Loving CopWhat the!?

Justice-Loving CopThat's... That's... Sweetie, come here, right now! Please!

FuukaI said no! You're just gonna bully New-New and Lekkie, I know it! I'm not going anywhere!

Justice-Loving CopThis...isn't about them now. There's...something else b-behind you!

FuukaHuh?

CyclonemonUwaaaaaahhh...

FuukaOh, hi, who are you? Are you friends with Lekkie and New-New?

CyclonemonI...hun...gry... Need...food...

FuukaIs your tummy rumbling? Well, I brought some food you can have, if you like. Wanna eat it?

CyclonemonAaaaaaoooowwwww!!! Huuuuummmmmaaaaannnnnnssss!!!

FuukaAaah!

CyclonemonFeeeeed meeeee! Noooooowwww!!!

Justice-Loving CopAh, aaaaaaah!

FuukaUh... Um... *sniff*

New-NewDon't cry, Fuuka! We'll protect you!

LekkieYou won't lay a finger on Fuuka, buster!

FuukaDigivolve...!?

New-NewRaaaaaaaaaarrrrr!!! Numemon Digivolve to...!

LekkieRaaaaaaaaaarrrrr!!! Elecmon Digivolve to...!

Player...!

New-New...

Lekkie...

Player?

FuukaEh? Did anything...happen...?

New-NewI...thought all you had to do to Digivolve was yell hard enough.

LekkieGuess not...

Player!?

CyclonemonAaaaaoooowwwww!!! STILL HUNGRY!!

New-NewEeeek! There's no way we could Digivolve just playing around with Fuuka all the time!

LekkieThat doesn't matter! It's the thought that counts! And what I'm thinking is we have to protect Fuuka no matter what!

New-NewYeah, you're right! Even if we can't Digivolve, we can still fight!

FuukaYou guys...

CyclonemonAaaaaaooooowwwww!!! GIVE FOOD NOOOOWWWW!!!

New-NewSorry, but we don't have anything for you!

CyclonemonTHEN ME JUST HAVE GIRLLLLL!!!

LekkieWe told you already, she's with us!

FuukaWow... You guy are so cool... Digivolving is amazing!

PlayerThat's not how it... I better sneak in and help! Better lend a hand before it gets messy...

LekkieWe'll protect you, Fuuka! It's now or never... We have to Digivolve!

FuukaWow, you guys are so awesome! You two did great, Lekkie and New-New!

New-NewHehe... When did we get so strong?

LekkieIt's like someone else was there to help us!

FuukaYou guys better come back and play with me again!

FuukaWe didn't get to do anything today, you know!

New-NewYeah!

LekkieOf course we'll come, Fuuka! We wouldn't miss it for the world!

Player...

PeteHeyo. Is the case all wrapped up for good now? ...Oh. I'm glad she and the Digimon had fun together at least.

PeteWish I could solve cases like a cool ace detective like you... I wonder what Kyoko would say if she were here right now...

Player...

KyokoNew-New and Lekkie combined forces...

KyokoNew-New the Numemon and Lekkie the Elecmon... If you take the first syllable from their species you get Nue...

KyokoNue...the chimera from ancient myths... Yes, one could call what happened there tonight the "Night of the Living Nue," heehee...

PeteWhaaat? Would she really say that? And do you even know what a nue is!?

PeteOh, I get it! You're trying to mess with me! Joke's on you because I'm onto--

Masanori*yaaaaawn*

MasanoriOh crap, I fell asleep! Huh!? Fuuka!? Detective!?

MasanoriWhere did everybody go!?

PeteHmmhmmhm... Hmm? You think I'm lazing around like an ordinary cat, don't you? I'll have you know that keeping the sofa warm is important work!

PeteDoes it matter? Of course it does! This helps our clients feel nice and comfy when they sit down! You should sit here! You'll fall sound asleep!

PeteOur client should be over in Ueno right now. Oh, is it your first time going over there? Be careful!

PeteNo case is finished until you wrap everything up and report it. I'm counting on you to do a good job now, all right?
