Part 14: Shut-Ins, Food, and a Serial Slasher?!

Not much to talk about honestly.

The next case I did involved a mother worried about her son that had become a 'shut in' and was addicted to a chat room and specifically a certain girl he kept chatting with and wasn't going to school or even talking to his family. He only cared about chatting with the girl. When did this become Welcome to the NHK?

Either way, we reluctantly agree to use the son's account to act like him to find out more about the girl in question and to make sure that there's nothing suspicious about her. Of course, the mother could just talk to her son, but, I guess that would be too easy?

Anyway not surprisingly it gets to the point where the girl suspects something and starts asking us random questions about the son. Which we try to lie our way into answering correctly but she seems to bust us and a Digimon image pops up. Well then...

So off we go Connect Jumping. It turns out to be a Minervamon and she's quite angry at us for what we did. We're not given a chance to explain and our forced to fight.

It was a lengthy battle but I came out victorious either way.

We then explain the situation and it actually makes the Minervamon want to help out and get the son to talk to his family more, as he seemed to be really concerned about the family. Sheesh, what happened to talking? Well oh well I guess. All's well that ends well and we allow the Minervamon to stay and to be good friends with the son.

We move on... to some gourmet who wants us to review multiple restaurants in Nakano. Kyoko also 'enlists' Nokia and Arata to 'help.' This was... quite weird. All we did was roam around eating at the restaurants with the main character giving his thoughts about the food. Um... okay...?

Nokia ran into Yuuko though who didn't say much. Easy case. I did a few Digi Farm cases after that and then moved on to another important case. We got an 'ominous' feeling in Shinjuku and felt what seemed like wind in the area.

It turned out that Matayoshi needs help with a case involving a serial slasher. Luckily it's not the murdering kind. More like the vandalism kind. Where lots of areas have been marked up. Security footage of us walking around Shinjuku that Kyoko 'borrowed' reveals that we almost got our head chopped off if it wasn't for our ominous feeling.

Yeah... we need to do something before someone really does end up murdered and this does become a serial killing case...

That's all I did though. See? Not much. I legitimately forgot about Flamedramon. Maybe next time?

Next time:

Flamedramon Optional Battle attempt. If I remember? Who's behind the slashing? Is it really a 'kamaitaichi' like Kyoko seems to think? We'll find out and more cases as well obviously.
