Kazuya turned to Leo who apologized for her previous comment, while he might usually be offended by it, he decided to give her a pass today since she just got into a new world that is alien to her. "Oh no, its okay I understand its been a tough day and weird day. And besides you are very pretty so I am sure alot of lets say terrible guys have come to you, but you shouldn't worry about the only thing I have in common with those guys is that we both find you beautiful, other than that I am not gonna do anything weird." He said chuckling to himself as he aimed to lighten the mood, it was a tense day for the girl and luckily he did not need to explain everything to her by himself, he had both Roy and the gears who helped with that. But its not explain things time, its alcohol time. Kazuya said before letting of her hand and turning towards a not very far bar, "ok shall we go Ms Schmidt ?" He said turning towards her with a smile gesturing at the bar with his hand.
Roy then began to actually get mad at the gears for the nonesense they began to say, disposable machines ? Ressurction cycle ? What the hell were they on about ? What did they think Digimon battles were like ? "Listen Gurren and Lagann." Roy's tone carried more weight, it was still a the voice of young digimon but it commanded respect. "I do not care what kind of data you have in your storage, I have been to multiple battles, they are brutal quick and destructive. Digimon can die in an instant, we may be able to be reborn but have you thought of the possibilty of having your data absorbed. Or only being reborn in an era without your loved ones, waking up to a familiar world yet none of the people you know. That could happen, so if you dont care about your life, think about those who will. You and Lady Ellen might have just met, but here is the thing about humans, they are social creatures they create bonds even if they act like they don't want to and while those bonds motivate them, losing those bonds hurts them." Roy finished his speech, which was a mixture of his own personal experiences and what he percived Kazuya is doing. He looked at Gurren and Lagann with sorrowful eyes, their disregard for their own life saddened the lion.
"I see, well I do not think you are tools. But if you are gonna say that, it seems that I might have not convinced you. But know that atleast to me, you are friends. People I cant wait to see grow on their own journey and maybe laugh about this someday, so please be safe Gurren and Lagann." Roy heartfelt talk came from his own experience with people seeing their life as insignificant compared to him and laying their life waste for him which is something he did not wish to see the gears do for Elleonora.

Eleonora felt lucky to meet some one like Kazuya, he seems like a nice guy and the fact that he is not even mad at the stupid threat she made give him an aura of niceness that she rarely found on people surrounding her, and being the first person she actually interacts after getting to Japan and this world help her to feel welcomed to the digital world and the country
"Yeah, it's time to relax and have a drink" the german girl said with a smirk "And please, Ms Schmidt sounds too formal, just call me Eleonora or Leo, most of my friends use Leo"
The twins listening to what Roy had to say, it was obvious that they didn't know any better most of the things they know about the digital world is thanks to their data-banks, even as digimon the digital world and things like fighting are a little alien to them, both were created with theobjective of test the power of the X-Antibody and Xros Evolution, they were treated as simple tools all the time and that's how they see themselves, so they can't understand Roy's concern yet looking at Spadamon like that worry them a little.
"That is true, we do not know how digimon fights are"
"Nor we know much about the world surrounding us aside what information we have loaded, yet we are machines able to learn the more we interact with people and other digimon"
"If it really means that much to you we will honor our friendship by not running any necesary risk to our operative functions"
"If the odds are below 50% of success we will advice our general to not engage the threat, do not worry Royland the Spadamon we will protect our general and ourselves"
"No cry nor sad faces, unless you want us to learn that and we assume you don't want to teach us that"
Was that a joke or a remark that they learn from what surrounds them? it was hard to know when they speak all times with that monotone voice, yet it probably MIGHT be the first option seeing that they try to cheer up their friend.
"Hey, you guys are comming or will stay in the middle of the street?" Leo call them out, it would be a BAD idea to leave those two on their own, even if they're with Roy for what little she saw of them interacting the lion might get tired and after a tempre tamtrum leave the two gears

Kazuya felt a little bizarre to be perfectly, as up to this point he was the newcomer when it comes to digital world. But now he was the experinced one and showing Leo the basics was kind of hard on him, he had Just hoped that he did not miss anything important and that he had equipped her with the right amount of Information she needs to brave the world on her if she ever needed to do that.
"All right Leo it is, I like it already it a pretty name beffiting its holder." He said with a sly smile that oozes confidence on his face, because if there is one thing Kazuya knows is how to have command over social situations. The two of them then headed towards the bar.
Back to Roy who was still very worried about the well being of the twin digimon he met, they seem to be young and dont understand the fears of combat. But he was pleasently suprised by the willingness of both Gurren and Lagann to change their world view, and with a big grin on his face Roy looked at them and said "Alright now that is what I am talking about guys, that is way better. And as for the battle thing, I may not look like it but I am very expreinced when it comes to combat, altough the only I can really help you is with actual combat training, like a spar or something." He offered to help, he was kinda fond of those annoying gears, so why not help them get stronger.
Then Leo called for them to come join "oh lets go and have some fun, what do you say Gurren and Lagann ?" With a smile on his face Roy once again mixed the names up.
Once the group entered the bar they saw a crowd of mixed digimon, mainly humanoid digimon like were garurumon and the likes drinking and having chit chat. Luckily the group found a table and sat on it, Kazuya however stood up and asked "What will you guys drink, pick anything its on me. Think of it as a welcome party for the lovely Leo." Kazuya offered the group, waiting for their pick.

This guy was going to be the death of her... To be honest the sweet compliments were good but she's not use to them and it's kinda getting annoying by now, but she can let it pass, once the twins and Royland join them they proceed to the bar, Leo have experience with bars and similar places so she kinda knows what to expect most of the time, but right now? She actually doesn't know how to react, of course the Digital World is still an alien place to her and she has to approach it knowing that nothing will be like in the human world, but a 6 ft were wolves drinking so cassually like if it was just a normal friday night was a little weird for the german girl, werewolf, ogres, big foot... All those things you kinda see it AFTER being drunk not before...
"Uhm... Maybe dumb question but... What kind of drinks does this world have?" dumb question for some one that knows this place, not that dumb for some one who just got here
The twins on the other hand thought for a second the proposition that Roy gave them, a "sparring" match wouldn't be bad idea, they could try and test their abbilities, although 6 against one didn't sound fair but they assume Roy had some tricks hidden, better be sure tho
"Are you sure you want to face us? Six against one doesn't seem that fair"
"The little gears spinning above our head are sentient digital beings too" Lagann clarified, while those gears aren't that strong they're capable of releasing a powerful venom and create an explosion, they're a small threat to always have in mind

Kazuya was in all honestly slowly but surely getting used to being the teacher and not the student when it came to the digital world, but the responsibilty is still heavy on his heart as this place has proven to be deadly before. So moments of relaxation like this can be a fun change of pace, so he intended to enjoy himself to the fulliest today. The blonde girl then asked Kazuya a very interesting quesion, he knows that digimon do have drinks familiar to most humans. Like beer, brandy, whiskey etc. But he did not know the full extent of the repertoire digimon have, so he turned to the girl with a curious look. "Thats.......actually a good question. I do know that they have regular drinks like beer and the like, but I have never explored the full list of drinks they have here." Kazuya said as he placed his hand on his chin, as he began to scratch it slightly.
Royland chuckled at the concern of Gurren and Lagann, this little white knight was confident in his skills. "No no trust me its okay, I can handle myself in battle. And if you guys overwhelm me I can armor evolve, this will allow me to reach power similar to a chmpion. That would be a good practice for you guys to see what is it like to fight someone stronger, that is ofcourse if you guys feel like you are ready. And oh please don't worry I will hold back, in my both my Rookie and my armor champion forms." Roy said with a confident smirk on his face, he was a nice guy but he has a bit of an ego when it comes to combat skills. But in this instance he was mostly right, as while in Rookie he probably cant win, but will probably win as armor champion.

So apparently there where a lot of drinks aside the "normal" ones, well one thing was sure, Kazuya had her on beer, you can't beat the classics, germans know their beer and besides for some reason it feels like it's going to be the cheapest thing here in anycase she didn't want to get drunk just enjoy a good time after all the crazyness that just happen
"Well, I ain't no fancy girl, a beer is good for me an let's be honest why should we go against the good old stereotypes?" The blonde chuckle
The gears meanwhile listen to Roy talking, the Spadamon seemed confident in his skills even saying that in the worst case scenario he could use an armor evolution, that's an interesting proposal to say the least, but that raised a couple of questions for the twins, might as well make them.
"That is interesting, and we appreciate it, but before anything since you seem to have experience in battle we want to ask you something"
"Do you value more the strength in numbers or the power in numbers?"
Both gears tilting their heads looking at Roy, it's true that the stronger the form stronger the digimon but at the same time they are part or are going to be part of an army so their strength also is on the numbers, raw strength has it's advantages as much as big numbers it's an interesting doubt that came, surely some one as experienced as this Spadamon could give a nice answer.

Kazuya could not help but chuckle at the blonde german girl's response, it was simple, predictable and honest. All of those qualities led Kazuya to the conclusion that Leo was not the type to wear a social mask, something alot of people do, including himself. Her simplicity was refreshing to say the least, he then nodded at her words.
"Very well, you look like a woman who knows what she wants. And like you said, why fix what is not broken, the choice of beer is a safe choice. I guess I will follow suit and pick beer as well, because, why not. Am I right ?."
Kazuya said in a playful manner, joking with the tiny blonde german woman.
Roy however placed his hands on his chin, pondering the interesting question asked to him by the twins. After collecting his thoughts, he looked at the twins with a hopeful look, hoping his answer would satisfy them.
"Well that is actually a case by case type of thing, as battles have a lot of variables that change constantly so we can't tell. But here is my general thoughts, it's that the more people you have, the more ground you can cover. I always say, a weak tool box is better than one really strong wrench."
Roy said as he scratched the side of his head and wondered if he made any sense to them, his eyes were clearly unsure of his answer.
"Did that make sense to you ? Because if it did not, I will try again."

Well colored Leo impress she thought someone like Kazuya would pick something fancy and expensive instead a plain old beer, I mean the way he speak and his mannerism showed that Kazuya wasn’t an ordinary man, he had the attitude of a true gentleman and new how to push her buttons to make her blush (although that’s not really too hard), if this was the real Kazuya or just an act that’s hard to tell but something she’ll found out once the drinks come, a drunk is like a kid they can’t lie~
“So… Might be a random question but I’m actually interested in knowing this” She tried to start a topic while waiting for the beer. “How you two guys met? Hopefully it’s a better story than mine” She laughed
The gears look curiously to Roy, his explanation was… OK, not bad because he got his point across but not good either since he didn’t sounded so sure about his answer, odd but the twins understood perfectly what he try to say.
“We appreciate your answer it was nice and had a good analogy” “But we can not shake the feeling that you are not sure about it” “Could you elaborate why?
They politely ask, certainly someone like Roy with all the experience he himself says to have should be able to give a more concrete answer than that

While Kazuya was indeed a man that was paticular about a lot of stuff, including his hair and things that he wears, the man still had some stuff he was pretty chill with, that included beer and locations to go to, as long as he can relax and enjoy the sensation that comes along with beer, everything would be fine. But then the girl asked an interesting question, it was not a proud moment for Kazuya but that day was really important for him as it marked the beginning of a relationship with a weird cat that made his life just, a lot better. As much as Kazuya does not want to get emotional he can't help but appreciate how Royland's exuberant and relentless cheerfulness made his life that much better.
"Heh, well its an embarrassing story really. It all happened one night while a coworker was having a party at his house and well it was fun, so logically I got drunk. So that day I couldn't drive my motorcycle back, and for some odd reason insisted on getting back via the train. While I was there I found a digital egg, I thought it was an easter egg for some reason, trust me I can't recall my logic behind my thought I was drunk, so I am not accountable." Kazuya chuckled briefly before continuing his story.
"Anyways I took the egg and my digivice appeared out of nowhere, I am not sure if it was destiny or just dumb luck but I became Royland's partner and I do feel lucky since that cat is a real treat to be with. But the thing is when he first hatched from his egg, he spoke only in binary that scared me and the person that was with me, since we thought it was a weird abnormality...turns out he was messing with us." Kazuya said with a bright smile on his face. "So yeah not the most impressive story I am afraid."
Royland turned towards the gears, their question was a reasonable one. Roy was unsure of his answer and the reason was simple really, he did not want to lead Gurren and Lagann to an early demise like he did with his mercenary band. "Well the thing my word is not the law, I believe what I say but I am open to the possibility of being wrong. So yeah that's my thesis, there is more value in strength in numbers, but be open minded. Live and learn, life is a roller coaster and there is no right way to live it. Just enjoy it and maybe one day we can discuss what you learned in your journeys. " Royland said as his countenance changed to become more of a cheery one, as he smiled wide enough to show his teeth.

Eleonora burst into laughter listening to Kaz's story, she had to admit that if she wasn't on this situation she probably would've shrug it off as a drunk story (and might as well be tell to other people about it who's gonna believe him? and it's a funny story), one thing that call her attention was the mention of an egg, did Roy came from an egg? But he is a mammal... At least it looks like a lion...
"Eh? Better story and falling from a bridge, nearly drown and wake up on an alien world, trust me ain't the kind of person that's easily scare but I was mortified some minutes ago" the blonde commented with a chuckle
Now with that explanation the gears kind of understand where Roy was comming from, still a nice answer, having the advantage in number is as much good as raw power, having Royland share his knowledge and experience with them sounds like a good idea and both are glad tha they got the chance to meet him.
"Sounds like you have a lot of experience"
"Mind sharing some stories or advices for us?"

Kazuya chuckled when Eleonora laughed at his story, he had a sense of humor so he could find what is funny in his story. Now her story on the other seemed a bit more terrifying, he knew about the shibuya river being a gateway to the digital world, but he never ever went near it because. A, it was very disgusting and smelly. B who would want to almost drown themselves when you can ride the train, which was more comfortable and fancy ?
"Gosh that sounds horrible, I am glad you are safe and well now Eleonora. And you being scared is only natural, I think ? Well anyways I was when I first got here, the place here defies everything we know about the world we knew, for god's sake my partner is a bipedal talking lion knight. While you have two sentient gears. I say being scared is only natural." Said with a sincere smile.
Royland was happy that both Gurren and Lagann appreciated his help, a lot of people may have written his advice off as Royland being noisy and sticking his nose where it does not belong. But his sincere and honest desire to help the gears reached them.
When Roy was asked to share a story he rubbed his chin, he looked up trying to remember something. "Oh I got one for you guys, its about that one time me and my brother in arms fought a minotaurmon, we were rookie level and he was a champion. I think it will be a good story to tell, but how about we save it for later, when we are in the table having some drinks ?" Roy said raising his finger.

Kazuya make a fair point at being scared in this world specially if you're a new comer, it make her actually try to contemplate the full picture because surely this world will get bigger and weirder the more she explores it
"I'm glad you guys were around because without an explanation I surely don't know what I was going to do..." What could've happen if Kazuya and Roy weren't here? luckily that's something we will never find out. "At least you stay locked in one, I already have two and don't know how many more will come!" She said joking
"The size of a Xross Army may vary from general to general usually the average size is of seven"
"But it can also be above ten, around fourteen"
The German girl eyes widened as she hear how big the group will get at best only 5 more would join but even then 7 is a HUGE group and it can get even bigger? this is bad... She had no idea on what she was getting into, the already big task she set herself to complete got a thousand times bigger.
Finally after some minutes waiting a big flaming man came to their table and serve their drinks, Eleonora did not wait one second and grab the glass and drink it in one sit, she took some seconds to regain herself and look at the Meramon.
"Another one... Leave the bottle if you want I have so many things to process right now...."
While all this was happening the gears look back at Roy who looked really happy to help and in a way that make the twins happy (you know if they could feel something)
"We would love to hear that story" "Two rookies against one champion, that is a story that must be registered so it's never forgotten"

Huh, when you stop to actually think about it Leo is right. She is super lucky that she met people like Kazuya and Roy on her first day here, because if she was alone and had not met anyone else things could have been bad. And thinking about the personalities of her two partners, its highly unlikely that they would have been able to explain to her everything she needs to know, in fact you can bet that they will somehow make the girl more confused than she was.
"Huh yeah I guess lady luck really liked you, I always thought she only liked handsome men, I guess she can make exception for pretty girls."
Kazuya said as he chuckled a little bit at his own comment, he continued chuckling when he Eleonora make a compelling argument. He will only have one Roy, while she has two digimon...and apparently according to her own partners this little group could grow into a big and crazy group of fourteen perhaps even more. Dear god how can one person deal with that number of digimon all at once, Leo was really in an unenviable situation. But you know what makes things better ? Beer, when Kazuya took the cup and chugged it down in one take. "You heard the lady bring two or three bottles and put it on my tab." Now Kazuya was starting to enjoy himself.
Royland however sat in the table and got ready to tell his tale, he took a deep breath. "Well here it goes, I was in a mercenary group and we were hired to rescue a town from a group bandits. Things were heated and we were at war for two weeks, the battle continued on for many days and nights. The town was turned into a fortress for the bandits, so we couldn't just destroy it. But one day me and my brother in arms Impmon were chosen for a stealth mission to steal the blue prints of the fortress, we accepted it with pure confidence. And we did everything as planned stealing the blueprints without getting caught, but something happened. We found a drunk Minotaurmon trying to pick on a small Calumon, I got angry and couldn't stand to watch that so I intervened, and moments later Impmon joined the battle. We were overwhelmed and did not know what to do, but then I had an idea. Using cover fire from Impmon, I managed to stab both of his eyes out, making him swing his arms till got tired and then we managed to do a combo attack that finished him off." Royland stopped as his lips curled up to a smile as he remembered those long gone days, the nostalgia driving him near tears but he did not cry yet.

As Roy talk about his heroic action the gears listen carefully and record everything making sure that this fantastic story does not fades into oblivion, simple stories vanish without recognition but truly heroic tales must be save for history and share to keep it in the collective memory of the digital world
"Impressive story, shows how brave you and your friend were to face such big enemy with the stage disadvantage" "Indeed, no doubt you and your friend are heroes, also shows how good you are at commanding and coordinating" "We can definitely learn a thing or two from you"
The gears kept praising Roy while Eleonora and Kazuya talked, but on the other side of the conversation praise kept going as Kazuya insisted on the pretty girl thing, but one thing was right lady luck did spare her this time, god only knows what would've happen if him and Royland didn't appear, now if only the German girl was focus on the conversation as she was getting a small panic attack with the whole "14 digimon by your side" thing, once the new bottles of beer came Leo didn't lose time and serve herself one and then drink it all again on one sit.
"Sorry but before we keep this friendly chat I gotta do something" Said to Kaz and then look at the twins. "OK you two I accept being your general so time to answer, do you know professor Alphonse Schmidt?" She ask and kept her focus on the gear, she was not going to do anything until she gets an answer
It took some seconds and the gears giving looks to each other but they finally nodded, OK that was progress at least she knows her father somehow is involved in this world, now to see what do they actually know.
"Do you know his whereabouts? Or what happen to him?"
"We do but we can not reveal that information yet" "Orders from the professor himself not reveal his location until we get strong enough or achieve the DigiXros"
Well that was good enough for Eleonora, that meant that if she spend time with these two and improve she sooner or later will meet her father again, a little more relaxed she serve herself another cup of beer and look back at Kazuya.
"Alright, I feel more... Relax we can keep our friendly drink chat thing..." She had no idea how to name whatever this was. "Anyways... What are you doing in this crazy world?"

Royland was happy that his tale seemed to have captivated the two gears digimon, it was a very special story for the young lion. To him that fight was the moment he had his world philosophy changed, the moment that he began to see what he must do with his strength to fight in order to save everyone who needs saving. It also ironically started his obsession with battle, the lion began to have a craving for a battle that will push him to his utmost limit. Luckily for everyone Royland can easily maintain his desire for battle, but maybe one day the lion will get what he actually wants. Royland then towards Gurren and Lagann with a smile, their words of praise at first made Roy genuinely happy. But then the two then made the mistake of not stopping and actually continuing to praise the lion. Of course all of this got to his head, crossing his arms and looking upwards Royland began to chuckle.
"But of course the two of us were the invincible rising stars, our duo was so powerful that no regular digimon could stand against us. Heck most digimon who try to fight us will mostly attack us when we are separates, I have many more stories about our heroic legends. He was a damn strong digimon, I-"
Royland's face changed a bit, the jolly expression of pure laughter and joy slowly changed as he began to look down as he began to bite his lip a little bit.
"I miss him, in fact I miss everyone I used to fight with- oh sorry for that I just a felt a bit nostalgic when I told you my story. But yeah my previous life was a very wild ride, I can sit here and tell you alot of my tales if you are willing to hear me of course."
Royland said, but quickly both he and his human partner focus shifted when Eleonora asked her partners some question. The two noticed that the person she is looking for is called Alphonse Schmidt, he shared her same last name as her.
"If you do not mind me asking, who is this Alphonse Schmidt ? I can't stop but notice that you two share the same last name. Oh and as for that its very simple to be honest, you see I am but a victim of my own curiousty. This world is so strange and bizarre that I can't help but try to explore and understand it, and Roy here wants to fulfil his duty as my partner and protect me." Kazuya said as he took a sip from his beer, it was a large one but beer never hurted anyone before right ?
"Yep I am Kazuya's partner and I swore on my life that I will protect him no matter what, I train every day and hone my sword. So that one day I can return to the peak of my power like I was in my previous life." Royland excitedly claimed.
