"We've gone through explaining that last time..." he sighed, but ultimately smiled wryly. "Yeah, that world you and me, we're married. It's just an informal one, well... formalized by some marital contract. We have no one to witness that, so Koharu and Karin agreed to act as a witness... and so, we're basically official when I'm 16 and she's 14. It's a small party, and mostly just a small exception where we may party all day. Also, what you call me doesn't matter, really... Because I don't know whether my appearance here is simply because I'm called by the crest, or I'm just a data and that my real body is still in my real world somehow, or if somehow the heart also connected to all Ryouta in nine worlds."
He crossed his arms as she asked the fundamental question. The higher level Ryouta scratched his head before answering.
"Not that easy. Sometimes the real world Ryouta must have a full acknowledgement that you're in grave danger. That's when I appear. If I stayed too long in this place, then... well, it goes against the rule and I'll be forcefully sent back. That's why I'll only come when you truly need it, Mana... as for your other question... please come here."
He pointed at a hole big enough for someone to put their entire head on, but most likely would stuck. What on the other side... it can be described as truly scary. There are a lot of Greymon whose body letting out black smoke-thing, just like the altar.
"...Enemy which attacked the soldiers. Look, There are even several SkullGreymons on their ranks... as this place is very safe from enemy's attack, they cannot attack here... I'm pretty sure sooner or later they'll all evacuate here. However, that would means that the wall would be destroyed for I-have-no-idea-how-many-times before the sun raise yet again..."

Married... well that was definitely something she hadn't thought about until she was way older, or already had an university degree or her career as a pro-volleyball player had taken off but... at 14? She was going to turn fourteen in a little more than half a year! Well, that wasn't the important thing; she guessed that they had had their reasons and ultimately felt happy about them, even if herself would postpone that event... until she was 28, at least in her plans. Going into the next question, she gave the boy a mischievous smile.
"What I call you doesn't matter? Fine, Ryo-chan and so, you don't even know why you are here? Weird stuff, but I guess that we'll figure that one out in due time".
And apparently, calling forth the boy wasn't that easy and he also he had a limited time span to be here. Nodding she followed him until she peeked through the hole in the wall, and what she saw... left her with her mouth agape.
"That's so bad, Ryo-chan! I don't think that even with Draco-kun and Ayaka we would be able to hold those baddies back, right? What we can do about them? I have to say what I've seen to Ryo-kun right now! But wait... supposedly, there's something we can do to stop this, right? I mean, I doubt that Ryo-kun's subconscious would just want to destroy an entire village because he finds it fun. Is there something we can do about it, Ryo-chan?".

When she called him Ryo-chan, the chaotic Ryouta's eye twitched, the boy looked at her like saying "are you serious?", however, ultimately when she called him with that still, he sighed in defeat. "...Fine, fine, just call me Ryo-chan... everyone can just drop dead if they laughed at it," he muttered. Still, he goes back to serious mode as she asked something about the world.
"...Well, this is the problem. Sometimes, the subconsciousness is far different than what you think. Diving also means that most stuffs here are symbolic, Mana. Like this kind of event... what can you see from it? One might said that it's approaching sense of danger... or maybe, he just want to show off? I also have no idea, but that's just how this world works. Obviously, those things are right now the main events, so..."
He crossed his arms.
"Think it like this... what happened if you go to Ryouta first? What happened if you go to the gate first before him to warn the people about the approaching danger? Stuffs like that. Speaking of which, now that you said you have to go, then... just go. There's nothing else that you can do in this map point."
Update:
Now in Small Farm House, the priority changed into ***

Apparently, this Ryouta didn't like being called 'whatever' and had said that phrase just to look cool. Mana smirked at that, but she'd stop calling him if he looked so pissed off about that. He was one of her Ryo-kuns, after all. Yet... what he had said something that had somewhat alarmed her. Apparently danger was approachingm and she had to say someone about this! And so, the stars on Ryouta's house became three instead of just one. She had two choices; tell to Ryouta or go to the wall and tell them. Yet... she was a simple strager to the city; probably they'd believe that what she was saying were a madwoman's ravings and they could even arrest her for disturbing the peace, but maybe, if she said what was happening first to Ryouta, maybe he could convince the population that the danger was incoming! At least that was the most sense her mind could make.
"Thank you very much, Ryo-kun! Hopefully my decision was the right one!".
And right after, she teleported herself to the farmhouse again. Without losing time, she searched for Ryouta and said.
"Ryo-kun, Ryo-kun! A lot of virus dinosaur-baddies are coming towards the city! We have to warn them before it's too late!".

~Small Farm House~
When she approached the house (more like, teleported somewhere on the farm), Ryouta already packed quite the amount of vegetables on a cart, and it's seem packed quite neatly. Dirts and soil still there because obviously the water is too scarce to be used for cleaning it up. The sweaty boy wiped his forehead with his arm before suddenly Mana yelling at him in panic. The boy looks obviously surprised at that, but he quickly hugged her and lifted her up before staring at her.
"Alright, girl, breathe! Honestly, calm down! What's wrong?"
The boy put her down once she's calmed enough and pat her head lovingly.
"OK, now, you can tell me, what's wrong... Oh wait, I heard you the first time... Digimons, huh? Coming from the mountain, yeah?"
He sighed again. It's almost like he's used to it. The boy wrote something on the ground that looked like a magic spell. Out of sudden, the farmhouse encaged inside special barrier that seem made out of magic. The boy looked at her.
"Exactly 37 times, that's what my memories told me how many times I told them that the enemy is approaching, yet all they do is to hide themselves in the altar cave. Right now I'm wondering if it's useless to tell them anyway, because they doesn't seem to appreciate it the slightest."
He sat on the ground. scratching his head. "Honestly, those guys always rebuild and let everything destroyed, rebuild and let everything destroyed. The cycle repeats like that."

As she entered the farm, she was immediately comforted by the boy that neatly picked her up in his arms, trying to calm her down. He wasn't getting it? The baddies were coming! But apparently... he was actually used to this happening? Weird. He placed some kind of protective barrier in the farm before explaining to her that this had happened thirty-seven times before, and that in every time the result had been the very same; they had evacuated the town and then rebuilt it. She calmed down a little, but she had this bad feeling... Maybe things were to be different this time.
"Bu-but I saw this strange darkness swirling near the temple! What if this time everything happens differently? The other Ryo-kun told me that something bad was about to happen! What if this time, the baddies find the entrance to the temple? The other Ryo-kun even said that the baddies had perfects at their disposal, so anything could happen! I don't know, Ryo-kun, but I've got a bad feeling about this".
She genuinely hoped to be proven wrong because she didn't want for anything bad to happen to the city. She didn't know its inhabitants or if it was small or big, but imaginining the baddies leaving the entire population like they did with those soldiers... just made her feel dread in the pit of her stomach.

"That's not the case... that place is always swirling with darkness on time of attack... however, it's not like I'm going to wave away your worry, too, Mana. Like I said, I don't like it to leave them to their fate no matter how much they ignored me, but... but what to do exactly? How to defeat all of those waves? I'm pretty sure that the city would be in big panic. However, if you want, we can go in now... That way maybe... we can learn more of the situation. I got the pass anyway."
From a strange device that resembling a digital message board on the middle of the farm, it shows that the time to the attack (marked here in English word 'Assault') is still about six more hours... Probably they have the same in the city... six hours is quite plenty, but if they don't move out now, then high case that they'll lose important time. And now, yet again, the priority is updated.
Priority of Altar of the Sky and Earth: x
x holds greater secret than * or **, but it's also accompanied with dangerous stuffs such as fighting or risking trust level to go down. The more the x is, the higher the secret contained within. Sometimes, it also have something to help in the journey.
You can bring Ryouta to places with x, but only if he's willing.

It seemed that it was just hopeless. The people would abandon the city and just rebuild, repeating the cycle once again. It was really weird, but before Mana could utter a word, a giant screen that signaled the time left until the 'assault' was done was already ticking down. Six hours, huh? And yet again, before she could comment on that, the priority changed one more time, apparently there was a greater kind of secret than * or ** and it was measures in x's.
Immeditely, she showed Ryouta the information with a worried expression. The rewards seemed to be bountiful but the risks were high. Fighting? She couldn't fight to save her life, and Ayaka was a world away, and risking trust level was also too risky, but maybe... she had just realized it. Maybe there would be a clue about Dracomon's data? That was worthy of discussing, at the very least.
"Ryo-kun do you think that that place has something to do with Draco-kun's data?" she asked "I don't know how we'll be able to fight, or why they'd be a fight in there, but the risks seem to be too high nonetheless. I'm willing to give it a shot, but I won't go there unless you want to go with me. We're in this together, after all".
Should he accept, she'd teleport the two of them to that place; otherwise, they'd just go to the city to see if they could find out something about this constant invasions.

"Well that's strange..." Ryouta commented at the new priority that appeared. "What is there? I don't think his data would appear there because.... because it's currently filled with darkness and knowing him, he would prefer to stay on somewhere that doesn't seem as dangerous which is here, right? Hmmm... but it does worth checking... Maybe he's really there, maybe he's not. Either way, please wait here, alright?"
Ryouta goes back inside for a bit and appeared soon after with a heavy looking broadsword that seem modeled after Knightmon's sword. He also wears a bit of protective gear that consist of a breastplate and greaves. It's seem in this setting, this kind of equipment is rather normal. The black haired boy stroked her head.
"Let's go, Mana."
As a reminder, the screen pops out and told her that Ryouta wouldn't be able to teleport and they have to walk to the altar if they wanted to do it. The boy offered his hand to her to hold on.
Reminder:
Sometimes doing mission on x places would change the result of a certain event. If you're unsatisfied with the result, you can change the result by asking Ariamon to reload the scene of the x places. This would be treated as if the result scene is never there on the first place and that no one except the diver would remember it. However, the trust level resulted from the cancelled result scene would still be carried over.

Apparently, Ryouta wasn't really with the idea that Dracomon could be there, and probably he was right. It was difficult to imagine the dragon spawning out of nowhere in a place where she had been twice already, but, as the boy said, it was indeed worth checking out.
He asked Mana to wait for him as he returned to the house, emerging with what seemed to be a suit of armor and a sword. She had to admit that he looked cool on that armor, and began to wonder if this Ryouta was knowledgable in the use of weapons. That made him both interesting and... dangerous. Not to her, of course. She smiled at him when he stroked her head and took his hand when he asked, happy to live this without compromising her promise. Before they began to walk, however, she quickly pecked his lips.
"Take good care of me, okay? After all, it seems that now I'm your damsel and you're my knight so... I'm counting on you, Ryo-kun. Let's get going, then".
The reminder startled her a little, but at least if something bad happened, she could undo it at will. That was good and even made the risk she was taking less riskier, even if the lowered trust still applied. She'd be sad if that happened, but she really wanted to know what was waiting for them in that place. Every adventage that they got would prove to be useful to them, after all.

"What? Fight? Who? Ah, you mean this sword? Nah, I won't fight... you'll see later how this world works. Think it as a virtual game, alright? But let me make this clear... I won't be fighting. Everything here is determined by the digivices... everyone have one, although the model is different... see?"
He showed Mana his, which looks plain white without color with blue buttons and all... there's strange markings on the place near the screen.
"But this one is not reacting... It's not like it's going to react with all the Digimons, but specifically, the one that is destined for you... as for me, it's Dracomon. But Dracomon is not here, see... I don't know where he is, so our only lead is perhaps this object..."
Ryouta shook his head like trying to shake off the thoughts.
"Well, that's not important, but... I'll be sure to protect you, Mana~"

Mana was quite puzzled at Ryouta's answer. So, he brought a sword but he didn't intend to fight? That was really weird, but she had to guess that, just as the boy said, this world worked on a rather strange way. Apparently, the digivices were used to fight? Quite marveled by this, she searched her clothes to see if she had hers with her. After all, if she didn't have it, she'd depend on Ryouta to defend her.
She looked at Ryouta's blank digivice with a curious expression, somewhat weirded out of seeing an appearance so different from its previous one. She wondered where Dracomon would be, and became a little worried about him. She knew that he could defend himself, but this place was rather hostile and she feared for his welfare.
"Hopefully we'll find Draco-kun soon... I'm sure that he's missing you already" she simply said, sighing but tightening her grip on Ryouta's hand.
"I trust in you, whatever this place has in store for us" she calmly said "Well then, let's get going already, the clock's ticking and we obviously don't have all the time in the world to check that stuff. Hopefully we'll find something nifty in the cave!".

If Mana searched for her Digivice, she'd find the very same D-3 as she have back in the real world in her pocket. It's seem that the function here is not usable unless Ayaka is also here. However, in at the same time in real world, Rea seem to exited her half conscious state and looked at Ayaka.
"Okaa-sama, I think it's best if you also dive... they're about to enter the place marked with X. Somehow, looking at the data, it might be some sort of trial. Without Dracomon's data, Ryouta cannot yet fight normally... The mercenary Knightmon might be able to fight for some time, but... at the same time, it's weaker than its current level... This might be extra crucial for the diving safety."
Should Ayaka agreed, she'll be sent to Altar of Sky and Earth, right when the two entered. However, not only that, there is some sort of a portal that appeared out of nowhere inside the cave. Obviously, it leads somewhere, but where is that somewhere is, one could just wonder... Still, it's clear that there's something that calling Ryouta and the others to enter it.

On the real world, Ayaka calmly nodded at Rea's request. It was her initial intention to enter with her partner, so she wouldn't deny finally lending a hand in whatever Mana was doing in there. She followed her daughter's instructions in how to enter the place, even if she herself wasn't sure on what was supposed to be an X marked place.
She appeared in the altar, waving with a small smile as Ryouta and Mana entered the place.
"Greetings" she said as they approached, but that was cut short by Mana running to where she was and hugging the fairy tightly, almost with asphyxiating force.
"I missed you so much!" she said as the fairy stroked her hair on a calming manner, as if saying 'It's okay. Everything will be alright'.
After Mana brought her to the ground again, she immediately pointed at the portal. Neither the girl nor the fairy knew why, but the thing had something that just called them both to enter.
"Alright. Let's enter, then" Mana finally said "This is why they sent you here, Ayaka? That place must be kinda dangerous if Rea-chan thought that we'd need your help. Anyway, I'm sure that with your help, this will be a piece of cake!".
The fairy nodded, and the pair began to walk towards the portal, and if Ryouta gave them their consent, they'd enter.

Ryouta nodded at Mana before entering the portal, and to his surprise, he's somehow stripped off from his current armor and forced to wear his previous attire, the attire he wears when he entered Digital World... all of his previous clothing in the dive world, beside his sword are gone. Quickly, he stabbed it to the ground and watches as a Knightmon materializes out of the sword, lifting it effortlessly. Ryouta nodded to the Knightmon before signalling him to get ready, which the Digimon affirmed. However, in front of them is a strange dragon-like shadow. It's seem to be a Digimon, but the data is corrupted, so much that it appeared like static.
L??idr?amon/UNKNOWN/DR/Corrupted Data. That kind of data would appear if Mana tried to scan it. However, by the look of it... it's seem not going to attack, but just looking at them in rather strange way. It suddenly moves forward, but without any hostile intention.
"What does he want?" Ryouta muttered. However, suddenly, three cards pops out from the floor... the corrupted Data Digimon simply stared at them, like telling them to choose one of the three cards he laid out for them.
"...Um... what card should we pick?"
There're red card, green card and blue card. The red is adorned with sword symbol, blue with light symbol and the green one with leaf symbol.
