Chapter 01: Back-Alley Hackers (HM) 1 HM 8 lines
ErikaI can see you, Brother.
ErikaIt seems that the only noise is on the EDEN image transmission line with Player.
Erika...Must be a problem with the Digital Wave. The sound's coming through just fine.
ErikaSure... Still, we can't guarantee the same in the deeper layers, like the areas with special protection frames...
ErikaMaybe we should call the whole thing off?
Erika...That's not it, and you know it.
Erika...We're only here for support.
Erika...Show us what you got.
Chapter 01: Back-Alley Hackers (HM) 3 HM 9 lines
ErikaGive me 30 seconds.
Erika...There. He's in that area, way deep inside.
Erika...
ErikaDon't get careless because my brother's with you.
ErikaIt's not like I'm worried or anything... Just stay sharp. Also, listen to what my brother tells you.
ErikaAlso, don't tell Chitose or my brother that I told you all this.
ErikaIt's...kind of embarrassing.
Erika?!
ErikaI-I-I knew you were there the whole time!

ErikaIt disappeared...
Erika...There's a link to some other place! Is this... the "hidden room in Cyberspace"?
ErikaOne second, I'll establish the link.
ErikaThis...this is weird. Impossible, even. A single server shouldn't be able to handle such a vast amount of processing...
ErikaLogs and traces are encrypted in real time, and it repels normal access...!
ErikaIn that caaase...
Erika...I got it! Okay, go on in!
Chapter 02: Handyman of Hudie (HM) 3 HM 22 lines
Erika...Oh, you're back.
ErikaSo? Where'd you go?
ErikaWhat? I sent you without knowing where you'd go?
ErikaHey, I wanted to go myself, but I kept getting repelled. I lost track of you en route, too.
ErikaGive me your log later. I'll try analyzing it.
ErikaI also want subjective data. What you observed with your own eyes. What was over there?
Erika...Hmm. I see. Well that's enough. Let's go.
ErikaDon't I want to know who that woman is?
ErikaNot really. My conjecture was pretty much on the ball, so...
ErikaFrom your story, I'd have to guess...
Erika...that you met the cyber-witch. She must be a remarkable hacker.
ErikaEverything adds up if you think of it like that.
ErikaThe reason we can't perceive the hidden room in Cyberspace is because she keeps moving it around.
ErikaYou can't do that in a place like EDEN without processers on an enormous scale.
ErikaIt's possible for such a thing to exist in EDEN.
ErikaSee? They weren't tales of the occult after all.
ErikaThe cat? If we analyze the log we'll see it was just a...
Erika...Jeez, think for yourself for once!
Erika?!
ErikaWhat...huh? A Digimon's attacking another Digimon?
Erika...!
Erika...Go on and help it!
Chapter 02: Handyman of Hudie (HM) 4 HM 39 lines
Erika...Are you okay?
ErikaWhat's with that reaction? We just saved you, you know.
ErikaDon't move.
ErikaThere, I've healed your wounds. I just mimicked what my brother would do... Are you better now?
ErikaI guess Digimon attack each other, too, huh?
Erika...Yeah, that's definitely your fault.
ErikaHometown? For Digimon?
Erika...The "Digital World"?
ErikaOur world? This is EDEN, a virtual space created by humans.
Erika...Are you sure you're not bugging out?
ErikaThere's no way there's another world. It just can't be true.
ErikaHmm... What do you think?
Erika...I think it's a bit hasty to believe such an absurd story so soon.
ErikaOf course you wouldn't. Hey you, did you hit your head when you fled that Digimon attack?
Erika...
ErikaWell... It's true that no one knows the engineer who created the Digimon.
ErikaAs programs, they're too perfect to have just formed spontaneously...
ErikaStill, it couldn't be...
Erika...
Erika...I didn't say I don't believe you.
ErikaI didn't say I believe you, either. Let's table this for now. There's not enough information to verify your claim.
Erika...No. I'm not.
ErikaIt's not like we know the answer. What do you want to do about it?
Erika...Just to be clear, don't go counting on me. I don't care about Digimon in the least.
Erika...
Erika...Uh.
Erika...Unngh.
Erika...Wanna come with me?
ErikaIf you have nowhere else to go, then you can come with me...until you figure out how to get home.
Erika...He broke me down.
Erika...What're you looking at?
ErikaWhat was I supposed to do? It's not like I could leave him on his own.
ErikaHe's so happy...and he talks a lot, for a Digimon. And he's so clumsy... What a weird kid.
ErikaStill...
Erika...there's something interesting about him.
Erika...
Erika...Thank you for saving him. And, um...
ErikaSorry...for hitting you with Memetan.
ErikaBut, but if you come in my room again without knocking you'll get the same! Hey, Wormmon! C'mon!
Chapter 02: Handyman of Hudie (HM) 6 HM 23 lines
ErikaHow long have I been here...? Um, since you logged in to EDEN...
ErikaI didn't know when to catch your attention...
Erika...
Erika...
ErikaWell, uh... Let's go...check the malware Chitose talked about.
Erika...Let me just ask: You know what malware is, don't you?
ErikaMy poor head... You really did use one without knowing what it was.
Erika...Malware is a special virus program made by executing a process on Digimon programs.
ErikaThat kind of programming's always been Chitose's forte. Area surveillance, scanners, logs of users passing through...
ErikaThese little guys are installed all around EDEN, each with their own special skills.
ErikaMy brother thought up this method since waiting for a case to come in before gathering info already puts us behind schedule.
ErikaIf these malware show the slightest abnormality, they'll be caught by security, so maintenance is absolutely necessary.
ErikaI'm not saying Chitose's programming is shabby or anything...
ErikaIt's just that EDEN's admin team is comprised of the best engineers, plus there are brilliant hackers in other teams like Zaxon.
ErikaThere's even that unidentified hacker "Mr. Navit" around, so we've gotta be extra careful, okay?
Erika...Did you hear anything I just said?
Erika...Huh? I look happy when I talk about programs?
Erika...Well, sure. It's fun.
ErikaI like programs...the digital world...EDEN. In this world, I'm...I'm free.
Erika...And you? Do you like EDEN?
Erika...Yeah?
Erika...I see.
Erika...All right, let's get started.
Chapter 02: Handyman of Hudie (HM) 7 HM 20 lines
ErikaOkay, it's moving properly.
ErikaWhat, you ask? This kid, of course.
ErikaI told you we modded Digimon, right? This guy is
"Spider Wasp," the malware installed here.
"Spider Wasp," the malware installed here.
ErikaIt monitors users that pass through.
ErikaSmall Digimon like this one are quite versatile, and can be made into good malware.
ErikaLarge Digimon boast tremendous strength and processing power, but they're easy to spot and not great as malware.
Erika...Anyway, back to work.
ErikaMoving on...you brought a Digimon with you, right?
ErikaGood, because I didn't. That means you're on escort duty.
ErikaWhat? You think it's strange to hack without any Digimon?
ErikaFor me, it's stranger to rely blindly on Digimon or Digimon Capture without knowing who made them.
ErikaI mean, we don't even know how they're put together, do we?
ErikaI like making my own programs.
ErikaSome people make fun of the elderly, but back in the day all hackers did it like this.
ErikaUntil Digimon were discovered and Digimon Capture became popular...
ErikaNow Digimon battles are all the rage, so Chitose and my brother have their own Digimon, but...those two are even more amazing.
ErikaMe, join the Digimon battles? No need.
ErikaFighting is my brother's job. Now it's yours, too.
ErikaHe said you're the team's new "whack."
ErikaAt any rate, I just wanted to tell you what your job is. If you get it, then hurry and come along.
Chapter 02: Handyman of Hudie (HM) 8 HM 5 lines
ErikaThere's...a weird error in this malware.
ErikaThis malware is "Scorpion Wasp"... It surveys this entire area...
ErikaIt seems to have sensed something "undetectable"... The analyzer can't terminate it, causing an error.
ErikaGo gather some information around here. I want to know what it is this guy saw.
ErikaIf something strange appeared, one of the users around here should've seen something.
Chapter 02: Handyman of Hudie (HM) 9 HM 10 lines
Erika"The unexpected cat," "The hidden room in Cyberspace," "The purple-maned cyber-witch"...
ErikaThere are other strange occult stories around, but each of these three were spotted in Kowloon.
ErikaOkay. Let's go check it out.
ErikaI'm interested to see what this phenomenon really is.
ErikaUh, not that I believe in the occult. How could something like that exist in Cyberspace?
ErikaThe cat must be an avatar some hacker modded as a prank.
ErikaThe hidden room is just a backdoor connected to another area that can't be seen on the surface.
ErikaAnd the cyber-witch is...just a pretty girl who enjoys fortunate-telling.
ErikaStill, we have to determine the underlying cause.
ErikaI initialized the malware here, but the same error may reoccur if the same phenomenon returns.

Erika...It looks like Mephisto went deeper within. There aren't any logout zones around there, so this is a good opportunity.

ErikaYes. Sending the URL now.

ErikaHmm hmm hmm...textures slapped on top of a wire- frame skeleton. Same as our avatars.
ErikaI see... The wire frame is way more detailed than on the human avatars...
ErikaIt's analysis, not dissection. Stop making me look bad.
ErikaI haven't taken you apart or anything, have I? Although I might want to give that a try...
ErikaYou're my Digimon now, aren't you? It's only natural you'd get analyzed and adjusted.
ErikaI don't understand how data can be ticklish...
Erika...Can I help you with something?
Erika...There's a weird rumor about this room?
ErikaYou must mean the Unopened VIP Room thing. Once in a while a customer tries to come in here for kicks.
ErikaI hacked them as a little slap on the wrist, and that's how those spooky rumors started.
ErikaIt's not like I never leave this room, plus the others come and go pretty often.
ErikaAnyone who paid attention would get it... Really, what a pain.
ErikaI'll teach you how to search for it on the net, so you can find out for yourself.
ErikaYou're my Digimon, after all. Can't have you stay dumb forever.
Erika...Hey, so listen to this.
ErikaI thought Digimon were just computer programs, but it looks like I was wrong.
ErikaThese guys have a feature that lets them read and learn from external data. Even without human help, they absorb data around them to grow on their own.
ErikaEven if they're destroyed, they have an optional structure for self-reproduction... In other words, they're just like organic life forms.
ErikaI wonder if all programs from the Digital World are like this. Say, Wormmon. Tell me more about your world.
ErikaAnalyzing. And sure, I'll think about it.
Chapter 03: Demonslaying (HM) 16 HM 28 lines
Erika...
ErikaWhat? You need something?
ErikaRyuji did.
ErikaHe and Chitose have been hacking since grade school. I wanted to try, so I begged him until he taught me.
ErikaAnd eventually things...changed. I ended up being able to learn it on my own, kind of.
ErikaCan we not talk about that any more?
ErikaOh, Mr. Matayoshi came? He's a detective.
ErikaRyuji and Chitose owe him big time. He's helped them out a lot in the past.
ErikaI don't know the details. Ryuji and Chitose used to really be royal pains, and he probably looked after them somehow.
ErikaHe's a good man. I like him. Sometimes he brings me sweet things.
ErikaWell, that came out of nowhere.
ErikaNot that it's a problem.
Erika...
ErikaI guess you're part of the team now, so you should at least know what the name means.
ErikaIt's Chinese for "butterfly."
ErikaThere's this story I like called "The Butterfly Dream." Do you know it?
ErikaThere's this man who falls asleep one night and dreams he's a butterfly, flitting through the sky.
ErikaThen when he wakes up, he wonders:
ErikaWas that a dream I had as a man? Or am I really a butterfly, and am I now just dreaming of being a man?
ErikaWe treat cyberspace as this extension of reality in our day-to-day life. We don't even know which is the "real" reality anymore.
ErikaSome people are just ordinary people in the real world, but in cyberspace, they're special. Or sometimes it's the reverse. Just look at hackers.
ErikaWhich side do you think is more real for them?
ErikaThis world? EDEN? Both, maybe? ...This place is a kind of frontier for people like that, who dwell in the middle.
ErikaAnd we, so to speak, are butterflies. Flitting back and forth between the two worlds.
ErikaSo that's what gave me the name.
ErikaCuriosity satisfied now? Try going and doing some cases or something.
ErikaAlthough, wait... Ryuji might send word soon.
ErikaLook, here he is.

Erika...
ErikaI'm okay. I'm just...a little tired...
Erika...Hey, that guy looks super suspicious.
ErikaWell, go on. Say something to him.
ErikaIt looks like he's up to something. I wanna know what it is, so talk to him.
Erika...What about the Akira Hosaka investigation?
Erika...Me too.
ErikaAh... Um...
ErikaI, uh...I thought it might be the cause behind the recent phenomena...
Erika...Huh?
ErikaWhat a nice guy!
Erika...Could a bunch of Digital Waves be flowing somewhere in Shinjuku? This isn't EDEN, so--
Erika...I see. It's true that you can think of Digital Waves as a flow of energy that carries digital information.
ErikaI've read a hypothesis on the net that similar energy accumulates in areas with massive systems of transit.
ErikaWhat in the world--?!
ErikaM-Mister Suedou?
ErikaDigital...Shift?!
ErikaWe're going, too!
ErikaIt just... It looks fun!
Chapter 04: Net-Dancin' Cowboy (HM) 15 HM 1 lines
ErikaI finished looking into that matter. Akira Hosaka's...
Chapter 04: Net-Dancin' Cowboy (HM) 16 HM 14 lines
ErikaAkira Hosaka. A pretty nasty hacker in his own right.
ErikaHe raided accounts across EDEN regardless of age or gender, and sold them just as indiscriminately.
ErikaStill, that's all I know. His whereabouts are currently unknown.
ErikaHis activity all but stopped a little while ago. His trail's gone cold.
ErikaThere's too little info on him.
ErikaMaybe I could learn something if I borrowed Chitose's malware for a thorough investigation...
ErikaI mean, I can give it a shot...
Erika...Just don't expect me to do it for free, okay?
Erika...Don't play dumb. And don't worry, it's not money I'm after.
ErikaThere's been a lot of Digital Wave abnormalities in EDEN lately, right? Well it bothered me, so I asked Wormmon to look into it.
ErikaHe found an area in Shinjuku where the Digital Waves are really messed up.
ErikaI want to go check it out, so come with me.
ErikaCould be the true shape of the rumored phenomenon I've been hearing about lately.
ErikaIf you take me there, I could do a better search for Hosaka's whereabouts.

Erika...Your face.
Erika...You're grinning. You're thinking of something nasty, aren't you.
Erika...I AM resting. You don't have to tell me. But more importantly, won't you be invading a server?
ErikaYou understand that you won't be able to contact the outside once you're in, right? You'll need some support for sure.
ErikaThat's why I've prepared a "replacement."
ErikaTake Wormmon with you.
ErikaAsk him about anything you don't understand. He knows about as much as I do now.
ErikaGood luck in there, Wormmon.
Erika...Now you get it.
ErikaAsk him for the details. Oh, and don't tell my brother about this.
ErikaWormmon. Make sure he doesn't do anything weird with that avatar.
Chapter 05: To the Island of Happiness (HM) 12 HM 15 lines
ErikaHey, listen. You know that old guy...the one named Akemi Suedou? Well I looked into him.
ErikaDoesn't it bother you?
ErikaI'm talking about the Digital Wave abnormalities and weird phenomena around Tokyo. Plus the Eaters, and the Digital Shift we experienced in Shinjuku.
ErikaThey've got to be an indicator of something unbelievable on the horizon.
ErikaPutting together all the info from hackers that went inside the Digital Shift, there's a ton of eyewitness accounts of people seeing Eaters.
ErikaCould the Eaters be causing the Digital Shifts? What do you think?
Erika...So you heard about my sickness.
ErikaDon't worry about it. It's not like staying holed up in here will make it better.
Erika...Grrr! I'm gonna get worse just looking at that mug! Fine, why don't you take on a case, then?
ErikaYou're a Zaxon double agent now, right?! So get to work already!
Erika...Stupid. At least say sorry for the trouble you caused.
ErikaYes.
ErikaNo. I'm not a Digimon.
ErikaNope.
Erika...Sure, that might work.
Chapter 06: Connected Girl (HM) 7 HM 15 lines
Erika...
ErikaYeah, I'm fine. I'm always a bit out of it after my treatment.
ErikaThe treatment updates the memory server in EDEN with my memories, and deletes those memories from my brain.
ErikaIt's not like I lose the memories. They're just moved from my brain to the memory server, I guess.
ErikaAs long as I'm linked to the memory server, you could say I have many times more memories than the average person.
ErikaIt's not like data uploaded onto a server just disappears, right? It's like that.
Erika...I admit, it's definitely a treatment that defies common sense.
ErikaBut without this I'd pop like a balloon, so I've got to do it.
Erika...I heard that.
ErikaWas that the hacker who's been feeding you info on criminals?
Erika...You're not really gonna go alone, are you?
ErikaReally? ...It's definitely suspicious. You'll be meeting him right in the middle of the enemy camp.
Erika...Well, you're right. I guess this is the only way to figure out what this guy's all about.
Erika...All right, then. But let me help you out.
ErikaI won't come with you, of course. He told you to go "alone," didn't he? ...Heh.

Chapter 07: Mask Master (HM) 6 HM 21 lines
ErikaSorry for telling my brother...
ErikaI didn't meant to, it's just...he's always been able to see through me when I'm hiding something.
Erika...I heard you talking with K.
ErikaI was connected to Wormmon, so I saw everything.
Erika...You can't be bothered by what he said, are you? All that stuff about you not being you?
ErikaThat was just to confuse you. You're the real you, the genuine article.
ErikaThat's something I've understood after meeting you in both worlds.
ErikaMental data is EDEN's most important component, and it's the property of each individual.
ErikaThe highest-level security has been put in place to prevent illegal access to this data.
ErikaNot even a legendary hacker like my brother could access a person's mental data.
ErikaI mean...he hadn't met you on your last account, after all. Sure, if you were replaced with another person at that time, I wouldn't know.
ErikaThat...that didn't happen, did it?
Erika...DID IT?!
Erika...
Erika...Kidding.
Erika...Why, youuu!
ErikaIt'll break again if I hit you with it?
ErikaDon't worry. Its parts were upgraded when it got fixed.
Erika...Ugh!
Erika...Juuust kidding.
Erika...Payback. Hee hee.

ErikaYou need to straighten up and fly right! This is just a little reminder!
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!
ErikaI told you to make it, not to infect me with it! Let this be a lesson to you!
ErikaUgh...
ErikaThat's enough! Next time I'll paralyze you, too!
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?
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...
ErikaRyuji, what about me? Can I come with you this time?
ErikaHmm... Only if you can recover all my image files.
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.
Chapter 08: Cyber-Gloom (HM) 14 HM 1 lines
ErikaCan't you borrow some people from Zaxon?
Chapter 08: Cyber-Gloom (HM) 15 HM 21 lines
ErikaIt worked all right. Didn't you notice?
ErikaYou touched Makiko Date, right? When you did that, we stole her account info.
ErikaA lieutenant's permissions are plenty. Right, Ryuji?
ErikaOkay, I'll run down the plan.
ErikaWe'll be breaking into one of the spare domains in the EDEN server.
ErikaFrom there, we'll directly access and extract the target data.
ErikaFirst I'll use Makiko Date's stolen permissions to identify the target data.
ErikaPlayer and Ryuji will take Wormmon into the spare domain area.
ErikaThat area is outside the main network and is usually empty, so you should be able to sneak in.
ErikaFrom there, you have to find the connection point to the main network so we can download.
ErikaHe's our go-between.
ErikaWhen you find the target data, I'll send Wormmon a forged pass. Since he and I have a independent transmission route, it'll be hard to intercept.
ErikaRyuji, you'll take the fake pass from Wormmon...
ErikaYou'll be on guard duty while Ryuji runs the terminal.
ErikaWe'll be most defenseless during the download, so stay sharp
ErikaDon't teach my Digimon weird stuff.
ErikaYou'll make a diversion in the real world.
ErikaUse a burner Digivice to send a suspicious message to Date.
ErikaShe'll make a request to the appropriate team for a pursuit or maybe an analysis.
ErikaThen we'll use Date's transmission log to slip into the main network.
ErikaWe'll swap the inspection log for the transmission log.

ErikaRyuji...!
ErikaPlease. Listen to this...!
ErikaI think so. I used the malware I snuck into the Kamishiro server to hack into Kishibe's terminal.
ErikaThere are traces of some kind of huge amount of data in Under Zero, and Kishibe's fingerprints are all over the Valhalla Server.
Erika...Stay away from the core. I'm sure it's booby-trapped!

ErikaPlease... Go after him. Get Ryuji and Chitose to put their differences aside.
ErikaUnder Zero is in the deepest part of the Valhalla Server. Go there...and stop Ryuji...
Erika...Forget about that. The only reason Hudie exists is for Ryuji.
ErikaA lot happened after Jude broke up.
ErikaMom and Dad died... Then I got sick...
ErikaRyuji nearly worked himself to death everyday trying to look after me.
ErikaHe had to give up on everything that was important to him...
ErikaSo I begged Chitose to form a team...
ErikaI wanted someplace where Ryuji could be like his old self... I wanted him to have someone left who was close to him.
ErikaSo Hudie has to survive. For me...please don't let it die.

Chapter 11: Dimensional Collapse (HM) 1 HM 29 lines
Erika...Wow. You are such a pain in the butt.
Erika...Of course not. Digimon don't hallucinate, silly...
ErikaDid you forget about our special link?
ErikaExactly. It looks like K's fancy cage isn't set up to block my memory server.
Erika...
Erika...You're still acting on your own.
ErikaAll I did was send Wormmon after you... Where would you be if I hadn't?
ErikaWhat? No apology?
ErikaGood boy.
ErikaHold on, I'm going to analyze that cage. But...it might take a while.
ErikaK created the cage by rewriting the EDEN map. It's hard to believe a single hacker did that all on his own...
ErikaRemotely controlling Digimon is one thing, but this guy is a legend-class hacker.
ErikaHow come I've never heard his name before?
Erika...What? Is what K said still bothering you?
ErikaYou said it yourself. He was just trying to confuse you.
ErikaIf you're still not convinced, let me show you the proof.
ErikaWormmon. Do it.
ErikaIt's a special trick only we can do... Like it?
ErikaEven if you don't trust your own memory, seeing yourself in other people's memories must make you feel better, right?
Erika...But I understand about not trusting your memory. Most of my memory has been digitized, too.
ErikaIt's like Kishibe said... I don't know if I live in EDEN or the real world. Sometimes it really scares me.
Erika...But you're not like me. Your body and your mind are still together, right?
ErikaYou can feel it even when you're in EDEN. Your body...it's still at Hudie.
ErikaYou're sitting in that chair.
ErikaWell? Feeling a little more confident?
Erika...It's finished.
ErikaBut of course!
ErikaMy processing speed isn't like normal people. My brain is...well, it's EDEN itself.
ErikaIf he gets a hold of K, we're in trouble!
Chapter 11: Dimensional Collapse (HM) 2 HM 23 lines
ErikaDon't let him get away!
ErikaHmph! What's the point? People love natto, silly!
ErikaSpill the beans! If you don't, you'll be stuck in that forever...
Erika...It looks like he really doesn't know anything. Wormmon, do it.
Erika...Pretty scary.
ErikaNo, not that. Didn't you notice something about K?
ErikaWhat if up until now, K was pointing you towards all those other hackers as a way of taking the suspicion off himself?
ErikaOn top of that, you said yourself he seemed strange when you beat Hosaka, right?
ErikaIt could be that Hosaka's avatar was being controlled by K, too.
ErikaHe made you overconfident by letting you think you beat the bad guy, but the whole time he was trying to get your mental data...
Erika...I'm not sure why, but it seems like he was trying to completely take your place.
ErikaThe proof is that he tried to make you disappear. With the real one gone, he could become "you" in EDEN.
Erika...Be careful. He's running out of options.

ErikaSeriously? I...I can't believe you... Aren't you embarrassed?
ErikaShut up!
ErikaThere you go opening your big mouth again! Your job is done here, so come on back!
ErikaHmph, seriously! You should come back too, before K spots you.
ErikaOh, that's right! There was a bulletin board post from Arata Sanada.
ErikaI'll forward the message to you.

ErikaWhat are you doing here anyway? ...Are you partners with Rie Kishibe?
ErikaIf you're not directly helping her, it's fine... Just tell us what you know.
ErikaEDEN Syndrome. Tell me everything.
ErikaMy friend has EDEN Syndrome. I want to help him.

ErikaThe security on the Avalon Server might be a bit slack while they're doing the recovery work.
ErikaLet's break in there quick.
ErikaWhat do we do after we break in? It's obvious, isn't it?
ErikaWe get proof of Kishibe's connection with the cops.
ErikaThe data Ryuji erased on the Cyber Crimes Investigation Unit Server, about Kamishiro's dirty dealings.
ErikaKnowing Kishibe and how she loves to blackmail, I'm sure she's got a copy of the data stashed away somewhere.
ErikaThere's a top-secret area deep inside Kamishiro's main server, the Avalon Server, that only the CEO can access.
ErikaThey call it the Hidden Room. If it's anywhere, it's there.
ErikaEven if the data we want doesn't exist, by exposing the network they use to launder data, we can take down Kishibe for sure.
ErikaThere must be plenty of dirt on her in there. Heh heh... She's going to provide the rope to hang herself.
Erika...You're right. I've never been this angry.
Erika...Guess I'm weird, huh.
Erika...Keep messing around and it's Memetan for you.

ErikaSo...can I count on you?
ErikaYou're my Digimon, so that goes without saying.
ErikaHee hee...I wonder? Why don't you search our memory and see?
ErikaWe can't afford any mishaps with security restrictions. I'm going with you this time.

Erika...I love how carefree you are.
ErikaOkay, you're going to the power plant as part of Arata Sanada's plan, right? I'm going with you.
ErikaI want to contact someone who may know something about EDEN Syndrome.
ErikaYou remember him, don't you? Akemi Suedou, the Kamishiro researcher we met during the Shinjuku incident?
ErikaI checked into his whereabouts, and it looks like he's at that same power plant.
ErikaI don't know why he's there, but I want to talk to him.

ErikaThe connection might be too unstable to see. Hold on. I'll try stabilizing the values.
ErikaIt worked. And it looks like the link to the Mother Eater has been activated as well.
ErikaSuedou's paper gave values for the approximate location of the Mother Eater. I just tried connecting to them.
ErikaIt was just like opening a back door.
ErikaI'm using the Eater network to force it open, so it's impossible.
ErikaAnd there's no guarantee it will lead us to the Mother Eater.
ErikaBut if this method can be improved, it may one day be possible to make a path to the Digital World.
ErikaYes.
ErikaOkay, this is it.
ErikaOnce we infiltrate the Eater network, we need to secure an Eater.
ErikaI'll hack it and disguise us as Eater information.
ErikaThat way we shouldn't be attacked even when we're close to the Mother Eater.
ErikaYou need to stay here and keep watch.
ErikaSomeone needs to stand guard here. I'll share the procedure for controlling the route. I'm counting on you.
ErikaI know, but you might not be ready for that yet.
ErikaThis is an extremely hazardous mission. Some very dangerous things could happen.
ErikaI thought you were the only one I could trust with this mission, but now we have Player.
Erika...
ErikaI don't know what will happen once we enter the Eater network.
ErikaThat's why I have to leave him behind.
ErikaWormmon isn't exactly reliable, and then there's his clumsiness...
ErikaBut it's true that I want someone to guard the entrance.
ErikaI'm relying on you.

ErikaThat should do it. Now to steal its permissions.
ErikaIt worked. To them, we now appear to be the information they send to the Mother Eater.
ErikaSee, that Eater wasn't interested in us at all. Now we can get close to the Mother Eater.
ErikaBut it won't work on all Eaters. Some might still attack us, so stay alert.
ErikaCould that be human mental data?
ErikaSo that's what a "normal person's" mental data is like.
ErikaNever mind.
ErikaBut I don't know which is Chitose's data. Luckily, I brought this guy with me.
ErikaDo you remember? It's Chitose's partner Digimon.
ErikaI hoped he could act as a receptacle to draw out Chitose's mental data.
ErikaHe knows Chitose's information better than anyone, so he might be able to find it.
ErikaWe're looking for Chitose. Do you know where he is?
ErikaIt looks like he's in there. Let's go.

ErikaIf you get that sticky stuff on my Memetan, I'll delete the hair from your avatar.
ErikaThen I'll pixelate you and make sure you can never set foot in public ever again.
Erika...
ErikaYou look fine. I thought you were much more depressed.
ErikaBut you look ready for action.
ErikaI've finally analyzed the paper that Akemi Suedou gave me.
ErikaI'm just entering the necessary data into the terminal. We'll start when I'm done.
ErikaWe're going to help Chitose next.
ErikaAfter reading the information from Suedou, I finally know what happened to Chitose.
ErikaHis mental data has been assimilated by an Eater.
ErikaTake a look at this. It's Suedou's paper about Eaters.
ErikaYou don't understand it, do you? I know.
ErikaBasically, Eaters act like data gathering devices.
ErikaThey collect data and send it somewhere. That's their main behavioral pattern.
ErikaEDEN Syndrome results from an error that occurs when a human's mental data that has been converted to information is absorbed by an Eater.
ErikaThe mental data is then sent via the Eater network to the core Mother Eater in the Digital World. That's what his paper says.
ErikaIf we can believe what Suedou's written, that is.
ErikaI don't know Suedou's objective, but I'll use any information that will help get Chitose back.
ErikaThere's not much we can do without him.
ErikaBut I can't persuade my brother...
Erika...
ErikaNot even close.
ErikaIt was actually painful to hear.
ErikaHehehe!
ErikaThen let's get this show on the road. First we need to find a route to the Mother Eater.
ErikaIt's like you said when we first met.
ErikaThere's a place in EDEN that's connected to the Digital World. That's where you fell from.
ErikaI'm certain it's a junction between EDEN and the Digital World.
ErikaWe can use it as a route to the Mother Eater.
ErikaIf we follow the Eater network back, we should get direct access to the Mother Eater.
ErikaNo, this is my idea.
ErikaHe wrote about a different way of getting to the Mother Eater, but I couldn't decipher it.
ErikaDo you remember where the junction is?
ErikaI think it might have been Junk Plaza.
ErikaIt's abandoned now, but it used to be the entrance to EDEN. My brother told me about it.
ErikaYou can do better than that.
ErikaCould it have been Junk Plaza?
ErikaIt's abandoned now, but it used to be the entrance to EDEN. My brother told me about it.
ErikaHacker Digimon? What's a Vanguard? Why's he so excited?
ErikaI just hope he doesn't tire himself out too soon. He seems to be getting more and more clumsy, ever since he came to this world.
ErikaSee what I mean.
ErikaAnyway, I'll see you at Junk Plaza.

ErikaYou saw that virtual AI from my memory server... in the real world?
ErikaHmm.
ErikaWeird things have been happening since I ported my memories to EDEN.
ErikaI remember places I've never actually been to. I have dreams of looking at sights I've never seen.
ErikaMaybe my memories have started leaking out into cyberspace and roaming around.
ErikaI mean to say what you saw might actually have been, well..."me."
ErikaLook what's happened to Tokyo. The line between the virtual and real worlds is practically a blur.
ErikaWhatever "I" am was vague to begin with, and now it's losing even more clarity.
ErikaMy body may exist in reality, but the memories driving it have been...digitized.
ErikaWhat I'm feeling now, my memories with everyone, it's all part of an accumulation of data. A dream that data shows me.
ErikaI think the real me may not even exist in reality anymore.
ErikaI mean, which was "real" for me to begin with? EDEN or this world here?
ErikaIt's gotten less and less clear...like the Butterfly Dream.
Erika...I wish I was.

ErikaLike my brother said, I think Kowloon needs groups like that.
ErikaTheir inner workings may be unpleasant, but surely that's no reason to destroy them?
ErikaI agree.
ErikaYou're new here. Whichever side you choose to help, it shouldn't rock the boat too much.
ErikaWhat do you think, Ryuji?
Hacker's Memory 46 HM 7 lines
ErikaHave you decided which case to accept?
ErikaI thought you'd still be agonizing over it. But I guess I didn't need to worry.
ErikaIf you're still not sure, there's always the option of not helping either side.
ErikaI thought as much. You looked really troubled by it yesterday.
ErikaDon't fret over it too much. If you're still not sure, there's always the option of not helping either side.
ErikaHudie isn't bound by obligations to anyone. We're a free team.
ErikaHelp out whichever side you agree with. Just decide for yourself and go.

ErikaWelcome back. The client informed me that the case has been wrapped up.
ErikaThat's all my cases finished, but before you go, tell me what happened.
ErikaWow, that's intense.
ErikaI don't think there was a right choice this time.
ErikaBoth opinions were equally valid, and both sides fought for what they believe in.
ErikaHumans can argue about it all they like, but the only ones who really know how Digimon feel, are Digimon.
ErikaWho's right and who's wrong all just depends on your point of view.
ErikaBut...what do you think?
ErikaDo you think Digimon are living things or tools?
ErikaYou don't have to answer right away.

Erika...
Erika...
Erika...
ErikaWhat are you looking at?
ErikaA ticket for the upgrade preview?
ErikaOh, yeah. That kid's case.
ErikaWhy did you accept that one? Isn't the payment just a medal?
ErikaI can kinda see the appeal of collecting medals.
ErikaYou're a real soft touch, but the knight in shining armor thing doesn't suit you.
ErikaIt's none of my business, but wouldn't the ticket cost more than the medal?
ErikaGoing through so much trouble for a medal just doesn't seem worth it.
ErikaHuh? The medal isn't the only payment?
ErikaShe'll also give you a stuffed toy of Wooper the salamander from the "Salamander & Friends"?
ErikaWell... That changes everything...
ErikaYou absolutely must complete this case!
ErikaYou can keep the medal, but let me have the toy.
ErikaCome on! It's Wooper!
ErikaIt was only available in version one of the Salamander & Friends series!
ErikaThe Memetans on my terminal are part of the same series. But I was pretty late getting into it, so I couldn't get any Wooper!
ErikaIt was a limited edition. You can't even find it in Nakano Broadway!
ErikaI've made up my mind. I'm going to help you.
ErikaI've got other things to do, but this is Wooper we're talking about. They can wait.
ErikaWe just need to find a ticket, right? Let's get started.
ErikaHeehee... I knew this day would come. I've even decided on a name: Cogitom.
ErikaI got it from the phrase "cogito ergo sum."
Hacker's Memory 74 HM 7 lines
ErikaIt looks like there will be an upgrade soon.
ErikaYou couldn't find anything about it online?
ErikaYou searched a few dozen sources at most, and only in the Open Space, right?
ErikaYou need to search thousands of sources to find the really juicy info.
ErikaAfter all, billions of people exchange information in EDEN.
ErikaI've found something. There's a rumor about a seller with tickets for the preview.
ErikaIt looks like he's in Ikebukuro. Let's go.
Hacker's Memory 75 HM 18 lines
ErikaAsk him if he's got a list of people who have bought preview tickets from him.
ErikaOnly keeping paper records... He's careful.
ErikaJust as he said, I was hoping we could negotiate with one of his customers...
ErikaDo you think you could distract him for a moment?
ErikaHe had a bag near his feet. That must be where he keeps the paper with his customer information.
ErikaDon't worry, I won't steal it.
ErikaNow's my chance.
ErikaThis must be the customer list. ...
ErikaDone.
ErikaIt worked.
ErikaI memorized the whole list.
ErikaWormmon told you, right? My brain is connected to the EDEN server.
ErikaOnce I acquire visual information, it gets converted to data.
ErikaThere were only a few dozen names and some contact details for each one. It wasn't hard.
ErikaOne of the customers is a hacker who owes my brother a favor.
ErikaHe's with the Dinosaurists. If you talk to him, he might let you have a ticket.
ErikaTheir territory is on Kowloon Lv.2. Go and check it out.
ErikaI'm tired. I'll wait for you back at Hudie. And I'm so thirsty...
Hacker's Memory 76 HM 17 lines
ErikaOh! Welcome back. Good work with the case.
ErikaI just did it for the payment.
ErikaShe left a comment saying she'll bring Wooper later. I can't wait.
ErikaBy the way, I poured you some juice.
ErikaWhat's with the face? Can't I reward you after a hard day's work? I'm getting Wooper thanks to you.
ErikaHere, you have some too.
ErikaHey, snap out of it.
ErikaHow rude do you have to be to collapse after drinking juice that someone made for you?
ErikaThat's right, I made it.
ErikaDon't look so surprised. I have been known to do thoughtful things from time to time.
ErikaThe juice they sell is never sweet enough. That's why I always make my own, in the cafe's drink corner.
ErikaI put lots of glucose in it. Glucose is the only fuel the brain can use.
ErikaI know it's very sweet, but it's good once you get used to it. How about another glass?
ErikaYou don't have to look that disgusted.
ErikaIt may be a little too sweet, but I always try to get the flavor balance just right.
ErikaMy brother always enjoys it. See, he finished the whole glass in one go.

ErikaAnd so you want me to crack the code?
ErikaOkay. Let me take a look.
ErikaI see...
ErikaDo I understand it?
ErikaOf course not. I have no idea what these characters are.
ErikaBut I don't actually need to.
ErikaI glanced at the code, and it looks like the text entry field is linked to a certain area.
ErikaIf you crack the code and enter the correct word, you'll get a URL that leads somewhere.
ErikaI'm guessing it's where the treasure's hidden?
ErikaWhy so worried? There's nothing to worry about, and there's no need to break the code.
ErikaBreaking codes is for police and detectives. We're hackers.
ErikaOur goal isn't to break the code, it's to find where the data is hidden. So...
ErikaI just need to force it open and steal the link data.
ErikaOkay, I've got the URL.
ErikaEvery hacker can do this, but I'm probably the fastest.
ErikaI've sent the URL to that PC over there.
ErikaBut you should know, I didn't do that for free.
ErikaBring me something sweet later.
ErikaAlthough I did enjoy the change of pace.
ErikaMe too.
ErikaHurry up and contact Makiko Date. I'm sure she won't want to be kept waiting.

ErikaMost of my comics are about school kids. Would that work?
ErikaHere they are.
ErikaHere you go. It's a clichéd, formulaic love story, but it might have some useful parts.
ErikaHere you go. It's a comedy about the complicated relationship between a student body president and a dorky protagonist.
ErikaDon't get me wrong. I don't usually read this kind of stuff.
ErikaIt's not that I'm fascinated by the school setting. Don't get me wrong.
ErikaI might just flick through one of these while taking a break from studying Wormmon.
ErikaJust as long as you know.
ErikaAlso, that comic belongs to the cafe, so put it back on the shelf when you're done.

ErikaLook at this photo.
ErikaThey may look stupid, but let's zoom in and take a closer look.
ErikaIn the front row, doing the weird pose...
ErikaThat's you, isn't it?
ErikaWho are the people dancing?
ErikaBut why make them do such an embarrassing dance?
ErikaThen there's the worst case scenario...
ErikaNice one, Chitose!
ErikaLeave it to me. I'll start by looking into the strange dance.
ErikaI'll extract 3D poses from the image and run a search based on them. As there are several images, I can compile the poses for a video search, too.
ErikaWhat do you make of this?
ErikaIt could be a fan dance?
ErikaA fan dance. It's a dance that pop music fans do at concerts.
ErikaI've identified it. The movements in this video are almost exactly the same as in the images.
ErikaThis video must have been taken at a live performance. It looks like the audience is dancing in front of a stage.
ErikaKumi Minamiasagaya. Claims to be 17 years old. Actual age: 31. Occupation: Singer.
ErikaBut she performs at the Punsuka live music club in Nakano every week, and records her shows. It's always a full house.
ErikaIt's usually a maid cafe. It looks like they just added some old audio equipment and a makeshift stage. They only have seven seats.
ErikaAnd it looks like it's the same seven customers every time.
ErikaIt seems she's just made a major debut with a new song.
ErikaYou might want to take that back. The song reached number three in the sales rankings in the first week it was released.
ErikaBut it seems that one person bought 10,000 copies.
ErikaNo. Someone's boasting about it on the Punsuka message board. I just read it on there.
ErikaYeah.
ErikaThe rest of the Sacred Seven bought 100 copies each, but that one really went above and beyond.
ErikaIt's what the seven people at the live performances call themselves.
ErikaHang on. I'll check her social media.
ErikaI agree. At least she brings joy to those seven people.
ErikaShe doesn't seem to have noticed she only has seven fans.
ErikaThat's not all. Look at this announcement.
ErikaKumi Minamiasagaya to hold a huge concert in EDEN! Ticket sales are expected to reach 10,000! If the target is met, it will be her retirement concert!
ErikaHmm...
ErikaYou're right. They've already sold out.
ErikaLooks like one of them bought all 10,000 tickets. The other six are complaining about it on the message board.
ErikaThey're devastated they couldn't get a ticket. One of them has even written a complaint that's over
20,000 words long.
20,000 words long.
ErikaThat's everything we know so far.
ErikaIf this was a mystery novel, this is where the detective would show up and crack the case.
ErikaSherlock? Do you mean me?
ErikaHis objective might be to create an audience.
ErikaHe feels the need to provide a legion of adoring fans for his beloved Kumi.
ErikaBuying up all the tickets is easy. It just costs money. But the seats would still be empty.
ErikaWhen she sees that, she'll finally realize the truth. That she's not a big star...
ErikaBut if he could fill those 10,000 seats, she won't realize the truth, and it might even drum up publicity for her.
ErikaSo this is his only option. Hijack multiple accounts and make them into her fans.
ErikaBecause he's taken over people's accounts.
ErikaHe can pose as someone's friend and ask them to meet in EDEN or something. There are lots of ways.
ErikaIt doesn't matter. That would be the last time he would need to hack their accounts.
ErikaEven if people found out, and even if they called the police, they wouldn't catch him until the next day.
ErikaI think he's been making all of his preparations late at night to avoid being found out before the day of the concert.
ErikaI imagine it must be difficult to make 10,000 people all dance at the same time. That's probably why he's practicing.
ErikaBut it's by no means impossible. Everyone would be doing the same movements, after all.
ErikaLet's give it a try. Chitose, can you log in to EDEN?
ErikaJust a moment. I need to analyze Chitose's avatar.
ErikaI've found a back door. That's how he gets in.
ErikaI can't do that.
ErikaIf I delete the back door before we catch him, he'll realize we're on to him.
ErikaOkay, I've connected to Chitose's avatar via his account. You can control him from this terminal. Give it a try, Player.
ErikaAnd that's how he does it. You can log out now, Chitose.
ErikaJust like that?
ErikaI don't think so. All the information I can find says it's going ahead as scheduled, tonight where the Demons' Den used to be.
ErikaRyuji!
Hacker's Memory 208 HM 7 lines
ErikaSo he used back door keys to the accounts that the Demons collected in order to hack all those people?
ErikaIt looks like the EDEN update's started.
ErikaBut I feel sorry for Kumi...
ErikaHer concert had to be stopped, and she's lost a fan.
ErikaNo more full houses.
ErikaAnd it looks like it's being streamed live.
ErikaThe one in the back looks familiar...
Hacker's Memory 209 HM 13 lines
ErikaIdol? Don't make me laugh.
ErikaYou're no idol. You're a Digimon.
ErikaNo. I said you're no idol for one simple reason...
ErikaBecause all your so-called fans have been brainwashed. If you claim to be an idol, how about singing a song?
ErikaThey're completely different.
ErikaBrainwashing is superficial. Your fans won't stay loyal for long.
ErikaSinging is nothing like brainwashing.
ErikaSongs can touch people's hearts. But whether a song resonates with someone or not depends on the individual.
ErikaYou can't force a song to resonate with someone. It's the listener's free will that makes them choose to become a fan.
ErikaYou can't call someone a fan if you've robbed them of their free will.
ErikaThat's why you're not an idol.
ErikaGive it your best shot.
ErikaRyuji, you're up.

ErikaIt won't be easy. He spends all day in his room, staring at videos and pictures. He's probably completely immersed in an unattainable fantasy.
ErikaThe best thing for people like that is to bring them back to reality.

ErikaHe spent all day in his room, staring at videos and pictures.
ErikaSo I hacked his computer and changed them, very gradually so he didn't notice.
ErikaI morphed Natsume Keshikawa's face into Shizuko's face in all the pictures, and cut images of her face into the videos for a subliminal effect.
ErikaDo you understand now?
ErikaThat makes it sound so sinister. I didn't make him think it. The love he feels is real.
ErikaThen I called Shizuko and asked her to go and see him.

ErikaIt's not here now, but I saw it. It must have something to do with the distortions I saw.
ErikaSo everyone here now is the same as during the game, correct?
ErikaThink back. Isn't there a discrepancy between Mr. Akao's account and the current situation?
ErikaSee, it shows them playing, just as Mr. Akao said.
ErikaBut look closely. Notice anything unusual?
ErikaExactly. There should be nine of you.
ErikaNow count how many of you there are.
ErikaCorrect. There's someone here you don't know.
ErikaYou've been tricked by a shapeshifter.
ErikaHave you figured out how the shapeshifter joined them without anyone noticing?
ErikaThat's essentially it. We'll need more clues to find out more.
ErikaA hologram? You mean like a 3D image?
ErikaYou may not understand, but at least try to take this seriously.
ErikaEveryone, take a good look at your bodies.
ErikaDon't worry. It won't cause any harm. I'll make them go back to normal.
ErikaYes. I did it to make the distortions on your avatars easier to see.
ErikaThe noise you just saw is the fake parts on your bodies, copies of the child parts you used to make your avatars.
ErikaThe shapeshifter took body parts from each of your nine avatars and used them to make a new human avatar.
ErikaThen it replaced those parts with copies.
ErikaAs you saw just now, the copies aren't very noticeable on each of your avatars, but if you look closely, they're not like the real parts.
ErikaThat's why it used real parts from each of you instead of making an avatar entirely from copy parts. That allowed it to go unnoticed.
ErikaAnd so none of you noticed that there was a tenth person.
ErikaThe reason I could see the distortion so easily when none of you could is because I didn't know any of you.
ErikaThat's what happened.
ErikaYou're being very quiet. Are you following this?
ErikaAre you sure? Let's see.
ErikaIf I apply noise to the copied avatar parts, can you tell me who the imposter is?
ErikaDid you listen to a word she said?
ErikaThat's right, Wormmon.
ErikaThat's right.
ErikaYou have to do some of the work. You are the one who took this case, after all.

ErikaOne finger has been stolen from each of you. Nine fingers in total.
ErikaThe shapeshifter has used them to disguise itself as a tenth person.
ErikaOther parts of your bodies are also gradually being stolen.
ErikaThe creature will combine them with the fingers to change its disguise.
ErikaThat's why there are ten people here.
ErikaBecause the shapeshifter looks like everyone here.
ErikaJust not like any one specific person. However, I know who it is!

ErikaWhat are you doing, Wormmon? You haven't been touching the users again, have you?
ErikaWhat do you mean?
ErikaAn alarm sounds if any external contact is detected. They're perfectly safe.
ErikaYou can also set them to notify the user if anything goes near the body.
ErikaSmall establishments like ours essentially rely on users behaving themselves.
ErikaBut high-class login facilities have staff to monitor the users.
ErikaThere are still lots of gray areas, but it's illegal to touch a user's body.
ErikaTechnically, yes.
ErikaBut the laws in the real world don't apply to Digimon, so I'd probably be held responsible, as your owner.
ErikaDon't even think about it.
ErikaI hope not.
ErikaHuh?
ErikaHe's just pretending to be logged in! He's taking a nap! I asked him to gather information!

ErikaHey, Wormmon...

ErikaI must say, I'm very proud of the portrait of you I drew around the bellybutton area.
ErikaYou see? If someone isn't actually logged into EDEN, nothing happens if you touch their body.
ErikaIf I did the same thing to someone who was logged in, the alarm would go off. You should never do that.

ErikaThe usual. Jelly treats, energy bars, stuff like that. You can get them from the vending machine.
ErikaI eat the cafe's snacks, too. You know. Chocolate.
ErikaI have a more substantial meal in the evening, but only when my brother or Chitose brings it to my room.
ErikaIt's none of your business, really.
ErikaIf I eat too much, I feel really sluggish and sick. It's just the right amount for me.
ErikaI find the curry here way too heavy, and I can only eat half of the pizza or spaghetti.
ErikaJust seeing you wolfing down a plate of curry last time made my stomach ache.
ErikaBut that's a normal amount for most people. Everyone's different.
ErikaI don't think so. It's enough for me.
ErikaIf I eat too much, I feel really unwell. It's just the right amount for me.
ErikaAnd jellies and energy bars are convenient. I can get them from the cafe, so I hardly ever need to leave my room.
ErikaYou think I eat like that because I haven't got enough money? Don't be rude.
ErikaYou couldn't be more wrong. I just eat less than most people.
ErikaI'm doing okay for myself. And my brother works as well, so we've got more than enough money.
ErikaOr at least I think we do.

ErikaIt's nothing. Let's not talk about this anymore.
ErikaHere. I brought loads. Take it.
ErikaI'm going to go home, have something to eat and go to bed. I'm a little tired. It's been ages since I've been able to get some rest at home.
ErikaBye for now.

ErikaWas that the last one? Phew...
ErikaNot that look again. I'm just a little tired. I have been eating enough lately.
ErikaI spent time at home for the first time in ages.
ErikaSince I started staying at Hudie's place, I'd only been dashing home for quick showers. I hadn't even been into the other rooms.
ErikaSo I opened all the doors for the first time in a super long time.
ErikaIt looks like my brother cleaned my room. Although it was still all dusty from not being used in so long.
ErikaI found a family photo in the storeroom. It's the last photo taken of mom and dad before they died.
ErikaIt made me realize I'll never see them again. I wish the four of us could be together again. I looked at that photo for so long.
ErikaFor a while, I would look for my parents every time I went home or went out. It was a hard time.
ErikaBut I know I had to pull myself together, so I put all the photos of my parents in the storeroom.
ErikaSeeing the pictures of them all covered in dust like that brought it all back.
ErikaI thought how much time must have passed since then for so much dust to gather.
ErikaYou would never just leave...would you?
ErikaReally? That's a promise.
ErikaHudie needs you. We'd be lost without you.
ErikaI'd be lost without you.
Erika...
ErikaI don't really know what to say. I don't want make a promise I might not be able to keep.
ErikaYou just promise me...that you won't leave.
ErikaYou're mean.
ErikaI thought you'd say no. Even if you weren't here, Hudie would still have my brother and Chitose.
ErikaYou're just a bonus. Don't get cocky.
ErikaBy the way, I brought this. Want it?
ErikaErm... There's something I forgot to say to you last time.
ErikaThank you...for worrying about me. To tell the truth, it made me happy...just a little.
ErikaThat's all. I'm going home now.

ErikaIf you go too far again, next time the punishment will be something different altogether! Something shocking, or poisonous...
ErikaEDEN sure seems busy. Looks like access volume is on the rise.
ErikaWhatever nonsense Wormmon might've said, I'm not really lonely or anything.
Erika...
ErikaFor now, I'm just glad we beat Hosaka. Next we gotta get that account back.
ErikaJust you wait, Rie Kishibe... I'll get revenge for both Ryuji and Chitose!
ErikaRyuji's still not back, huh.
ErikaSo Kishibe was alive after all! I don't know what she's planning, but I won't let her get away with it, whatever it is!
ErikaUgh, I'm getting distracted. Just take Wormmon and go find Ryuji.
ErikaFei's helping, right? I'll help too. I can't let you shoulder all this alone anymore.

ErikaYou want me to help? I mean...sure, fine.
ErikaLook, if you still want help, say so! If you keep acting on your own and piling more work on, that doesn't help me any!
ErikaYou need a hand, right? I know that look on your face. What, did you think I'd say no?
ErikaI'm beat. I'm going back.
ErikaThings are really crazy when you're around. Not that I really mind!
ErikaWell, that was kinda fun. Only kinda, though, I mean it.
ErikaTry to defeat the leader of the enemy team. Then you can control the emblems and gain the upper hand.
ErikaThe other team's coming on the attack! You need to drive them back, quick!
ErikaHelp you? *sigh* I guess I have to.
ErikaI just need to guard the emblems, right? So you focus entirely on attacking.
ErikaI got it. Leave the other emblems to me. No more giving them their way, right?
ErikaDid you notice that? An emblem got taken.
ErikaUgh! The emblems are getting taken! Don't just stand there, go get 'em back!
ErikaThey've got guts taking our emblems. Time for the counterattack.
ErikaGot it, on my way.
