Chapter 144: Nanami
"Qin Fei, what do you intend to do?"
Lolo asked curiously, watching Qin Fei, who seemed to have regained some strength and was slowly rising to his feet.
"Find Akihiro Kurata and finish him off in one fell swoop."
"..."
Looking at the surrounding woods, Qin Fei pondered where that man might be hiding. If he were to search recklessly, given Kurata's vigilant nature, he might immediately retreat back to the human world.
With the current state of the Sakura-Motogovernment colluding with him, it would be difficult to deal with if he actually managed to escape back to the human world.
Therefore, he had to be prepared and avoid alerting the enemy.
"However, now is not the time..."
Qin Fei picked up the food from the table nearby and began to eat slowly. After all, he hadn't had a drop of water or a bite of food for over a day and night; if he didn't replenish his energy, his stomach would soon revolt.
Besides, one could only recover their strength properly after being well-fed, right? Even if he wasn't sure if food from the Digital World would upset his stomach.
"Lolo, Gatomon, and Black Dorumon, you should eat something too. After all... if everything goes smoothly, this might be the final battle."
As Qin Fei beckoned to his partners, he kept thinking.
If he could eliminate Akihiro Kurata in advance, Belphemon would not be able to resurrect, the crisis of the collision between the Digital World and the human world would not occur, and Yggdrasil, the World Tree, would not take action against the human world to preserve the Digital World.
As long as he could take down the culprit behind everything...
Thinking this, he swallowed the somewhat dry, hard wheat cake and took small sips of an unknown fruit juice.
He needed to eat, he needed to rest, and he needed to return his body to its peak state—or even surpass it—as quickly as possible.
Time ticked away, second by second.
Marcus Damon and the others seemed to be locked in a bitter struggle; aside from the distant, raucous sounds of battle, no one had returned victorious.
"Looking at it this way, that guy Kurata has truly gone all out..."
After swallowing the last piece of the unknown fruit, Qin Fei returned to the bedroom where he had been resting and sat cross-legged on the bed.
The most common posture for meditation is sitting. It is both stable and not as overly relaxing as lying down, which makes it easy to fall asleep.
Thus, he began to meditate again, striving to replenish the Digisoul within him before nightfall.
But just then, Qin Fei’s brow furrowed. A gaze, as venomous as a viper, seemed to have locked onto him from somewhere.
It seemed to be searching for an opportunity to land a fatal blow.
Qin Fei abandoned his meditation, opened his eyes, and after a moment of thought, suddenly addressed his surroundings: "Is that you, Nanami?"
Following Qin Fei’s voice, the gaze sharpened even further.
"..."
"Interesting. How did you know it was me?"
Finally, a curious, crisp voice sounded as she leapt down from the roof. She looked at the ten-year-old-looking Qin Fei with a mix of curiosity and interest.
"Because you have the arrogance of a genius, and you enjoy seeking excitement and amusement... that is why you would be curious... about who it was that saw through Akihiro Kurata's plan."
Qin Fei looked up at the beautiful young girl who was only half a head taller than him... long golden hair, bright red lips, wearing a gothic dress, sporting a small hat, and even holding a lace parasol.
At this moment, she was staring at him with somewhat alluring rose-colored eyes.
"It seems you know me quite well?"
The girl closed her lace parasol and looked at Qin Fei with a sweet smile.
"I know a little."
Qin Fei stood up and returned her smile, showing no fear.
"..."
"I had been looking forward to a fight with Thomas, but it turned out to be that blockhead Marcus Damon. How boring..."
Nanami sighed, but immediately looked at Qin Fei with a hint of anticipation. "I didn't expect there to be another interesting boy here... Hehe."
"I wonder
