“Leon…”
“Leon, I’m hungry!”
Leon groggily opened his eyes and saw Agumon standing beside his bed, its two big green eyes staring at him.
“What time is it?”
Leon rubbed his eyes and looked at the alarm clock beside the bed.
It was already almost 12 noon.
“No, I’m too sleepy.
Let me sleep a little longer.”
He yawned, turned over, and pulled the blanket over his head.
Last night, when he came out from the Digital Lab, it was already very late.
After having a late-night snack with Agumon, it was almost midnight.
So he planned to sleep a little more.
But Leon had not slept for long when a bright voice rang out beside his ear again.
Grrr——
This sound completely woke him up, causing him to spring upright from the bed.
“Alright alright, I won’t sleep anymore, okay?!”
“Hehe…” Agumon embarrassedly rubbed the stomach that had just growled beside the bed.
Left with no choice, Leon could only get up and cook for himself and Agumon.
For the instant pasta he bought yesterday, one serving was enough to fill Leon up, but Agumon needed five servings just to barely get full.
“Sigh…
We already ate at the buffet outside last night, and then had a late-night snack after coming back.”
Leon looked at Agumon sprawled across the chair after eating its fill and helplessly said, “If you keep eating like this, I won’t be able to afford raising you——”
Crack crack.
At this moment, several sounds of eggshells cracking came from not far away.
Leon and Agumon immediately looked over.
On the coffee table in front of the sofa, a crack had appeared on a white Digi-Egg with yellow stripes.
It was Punimon’s Digi-Egg!
After returning from the Digital Lab yesterday, he placed the Digi-Egg here.
After more than ten hours, it was finally about to hatch.
Leon immediately walked to the coffee table.
More and more cracks appeared on the Digi-Egg until it split into two halves!
It was a red gelatinous ball with three tentacle-like horns on its head and two white eyes.
It curled into a ball and hid inside half of the eggshell, not daring to come out.
One eye was half-closed while the other secretly peeked at Leon and Agumon, looking somewhat shy.
(/≧ω＼)
[Name: Punimon]
[Type: Slime]
[Stage: Baby]
[Attribute: Vaccine]
[Growth Value: 0/100]
[Special Move: Bubble]
“Punimon…”
Looking at the information on the Digivice, Leon carefully picked Punimon up from the eggshell with both hands and placed it on the sofa.
But Punimon still looked extremely shy.
It hid behind the sofa cushion and secretly peeked outside.
“Don’t worry.” Agumon patted its chest and confidently said, “As long as I have food to eat, it’ll have food to eat too!”
Leon: “…”
As expected of the King of Eating.
Hopefully Punimon would not become such a foodie in the future.
Buzz buzz.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
It was a text message from Donald.
“A newly opened bar in Queens this afternoon.
Want to go together?”
…
The murky air was filled with the smell of smoke, alcohol, and cheap perfume.
Many sexy figures twisted nonstop on the dance floor, while waitresses wearing only stockings and tight maid outfits carried drinks and swayed their hips through the crowd.
The explosive music was deafening, accompanied by rapidly flashing neon lights, as if attracting one lonely and comfort-seeking soul after another.
However, Leon was an exception.
Even before transmigrating, he hated noisy places like bars, so he originally wanted to refuse Donald.
After all, increasing his strength was more important now.
He should seize the time to train Agumon and evolve Punimon.
But after thinking about how he had narrowly escaped death yesterday, perhaps relaxing once in a while was not a bad choice either.
Moreover, he had borrowed quite a bit of money from the fat guy, so he felt too embarrassed to refuse.
Thus, despite feeling uncomfortable all over, Leon still tried hard to blend in and sat in a corner booth drinking with Donald.
“Leon!
What happened with those girls?!” Donald shouted loudly from across the table.
“What?” The music here was too loud, and Leon did not hear clearly.
“Those girls you got pregnant!” Donald raised his voice again and shouted into Leon’s ear.
But at that moment, the music just happened to end, and the bar instantly fell silent for a moment.
Leon could clearly feel Donald’s shout attracting many gossip-loving gazes toward them.
He quickly reached out and covered Donald’s mouth.
“Keep your voice down!”
He had almost forgotten about this matter.
After all, he had only casually made it up back then to borrow money.
“And you still know to tell me to be quiet…”
Donald muttered, revealing a trace of disdain in his eyes as he asked, “So how did things end afterward?
Nothing happened, right?”
“Ahem.”
Leon coughed lightly, then thought for a moment and said, “Mm, the surgery was successful.”
“Sigh…”
A trace of regret flashed through Donald’s eyes.
He patted Leon’s shoulder and earnestly said, “Not that I’m criticizing you, but you really have to be more careful in the future.
Don’t…”
“Mm mm, alright, alright, I know.” Leon perfunctorily replied several times.
At this moment, he vaguely felt as if someone had been staring at him the entire time, causing him to turn around and look.
Behind him were three girls who seemed to have come together.
For some reason, all three had stopped at the entrance of the bar, seemingly discussing something while occasionally looking passionately in his direction.
All three girls had excellent figures and wore revealing clothes.
Even under the dim lighting of the bar, it was obvious that all of them were very beautiful, with exquisite makeup on their faces.
Seeing them standing there, quite a few men were already eagerly holding wine glasses, wanting to approach and strike up a conversation.
As if they had agreed beforehand, the three girls suddenly stepped forward together and quickly walked toward Leon’s table.
“Huh, do you know them?”
Donald also clearly sensed that something was wrong and curiously looked at Leon.
“I…”
“Leon.”
Before Leon could speak, the pink-haired girl with large wavy hair walking in front directly pulled out the chair beside him.
“Long time no see.”
Leon froze for a moment.
“Huh?
Do we know each other?”
“You don’t remember me?
I’m Victoria.” The pink-haired girl affectionately wrapped her arm around Leon’s.
Victoria…
Leon frowned slightly.
He felt this name sounded somewhat familiar.
“What a coincidence, Victoria.
So you know Leon, too?”
Before Leon could recall anything, one of the three girls, a black-haired girl with straight hair, enthusiastically wrapped her arm around Leon’s other arm.
“Lillian?
You know Leon, too?”
The pink-haired girl’s expression suddenly became somewhat strange.
This…
the atmosphere feels a little off…
Leon widened his eyes.
He tried hard to break free from the two girls’ grip, but then another crisp voice rang out again:
“Leon, how do you know Lillian and Victoria?
What’s your relationship with them?”
The remaining short-haired girl with a cool style narrowed her eyes.
Crossing her arms before her chest, she asked with an oppressive tone.
“Jennifer, you know him too?” The pink-haired girl was obviously stunned.
“Wait a second, Leon is my ex-boyfriend.” Jennifer’s expression also became ugly.
The situation became increasingly bad, and Leon was just about to seize the chaos to slip away.
However, the three girls blocked him and coldly asked:
“Leon, where are you trying to go?”
“I-I’m going to the bathroom…” Leon weakly replied.
“Don’t go.
We have something to talk to you about.”
Leon cast a pleading look toward Donald, who was eating popcorn at the side, but Donald revealed an expression saying “I understand you,” then gave him a thumbs up.
Leon: “…”
“Leon, explain this to us.
What exactly is going on here?” The killing intent in the three girls’ eyes surged in all directions.
“Y-you all…”
Leon revealed a smile uglier than crying.
“Are all my wings!”
