"Oh don't worry, they can get bigger but at the same time they always get back to previous forms, less energy consuming and more convenient to carry around and hide, besides I doubt that Freya turns into a 10 feet angry boxing Cactus like Bloom" The Chinese girl laughed knowing that the girl was going to stutter her words again after hearing what Bloom's evolution was
It was odd hearing of a digimon that wasn't in a hurry to get stronger, yet refreshing and definitely will put off a huge weigh out of Karin's back, they should go to the digital world when ready and if Freya didn't have a problem staying the better
"Awww, I find that hard to believe tho, you're a really cute and sweet plant" The girl hug the flower even tightly sh just love how cute she was "Aside from Bloom the other plant I met was a RedVeggiemon and let me tell you that thing wasn't cute!"
Bloom stare blankly at Karin trying to understand what she just said, she blink a couple of times and finally speak "I... I see... Glad you don't have questions... If anyone needs me I'm going to be a normal plant for a while..." She said and walk into the busshes until the only thing vissible was the flower on her head
Miyu burst into laughter after seeing the scene finally releasing Freya only to grab her stomach because her sides where in Orbit, she didn't want to laugh but the scene was too funy, poor potato slowly regaining her ego and someone innocently shatters it
"Don't worry fior her, she'll be fine in some minutes, she meant Bancho as in the group" Miyu made a pause recollecting what info the had gather about them to explain it to Karin "The Banchos are a group of five digimon that had fought and come victorious of countless battle without their will and code of honor break, they are warriors that fight to protect the innocent and weak and punish those who abuse their power, whether it's a Royal Knight, a Demon Lord, an Olympus or the Sacred Angels the Banchos will fight them if it means helping the innocent, that said, Bloom was a Bancho in her past life so you kinda hit her on her pride by saying that she doesn't look like one" The girl kept laughing

"I don't think I'll be a Togemon either," Freya agreed, looking as calm as usual. "I think I would be something less known... hmmm, who knows, I have no idea what I would be either. Evolution is like that, isn't it? It's a mixed bag of goods. Raise us right and we'll be beautiful and powerful. Raise us wrong we'll be the reflection of that I guess. Well, that should be enough to explain how important is it to take care of your mon, right?"
"Can't you take care of yourself?"
"Yes and no. Yes in a sense we have enough function for self-sustenance and self-survival, but just as how fertilizer works, we grows the best with bonds and careful nurture."
"...What a complicated process... alright, fine I get it..."
Ara, looks like it doesn't stop the chinese girl from hugging her tighter. In fact she looked far more happy about this development? Well Freya doesn't mind that, but she wondered if this is not bad for her xylem and phloem... wait, does she have those?
Meanwhile Karin looks incredibly confused. What? What did she said wrong? "...Is it bad? I mean, is it a bad question? Did she want to be seen as a bad girl?" the image of her mind of a Sukeban is those punk girls who scares off people and at times extort them. There are not that many 'honorable' delinquents. "I mean she's really nice, I can't see her as Sukeban at all."
"Oh Karin... pffftt..."
"Hey, I'm serious here!"
And apparently there are Digimon groups who are called 'Banchous'. Undefeatable? Something like that? And looks like they're adhering to more the strict code of honor compared to the banchous and delinquents nowadays instead of the Banchous she's more used to.
"..."
She almost wanted to say 'she doesn't look the part at all', but of course shut her mouth lest she offended the poor girl again. She'd rather not have that.

"That's the fun of evolution, you'll never know what you get until your life is in danger and then you have a huge angry boxing cactus shielding you, or a nice and cutesy flower fairy taking you for a flight out of danger's way" Said Miyu between laughs, how can someone be so casual about the times she almost died? Well she didn't and it's all on the past so no need to keep thinking about it, that's Miyu's way of seeing things
Seeing Karin's confusion was priceless and to be fair she wasn't wrong nor she knew what the plant was referring too so she's not to blame on this situation, besides Bloom might've overreacted it's not like it's the first time she gets kicked in the pride both figuratively and literally.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine" Miyu reassured the blonde "She's just being a drama queen, trust me she had worst punches to her pride, at least you didn't make her cry like certain "friend" of us"
That said the Chinese girl thought it would be best if the topic is change, if they don't pay attention to Bloom she'll be back in a minute or so, for now there was a more interesting topic Miyu wanted to bring, one of her favorites when it comes to Tamers
"How did you two met?" She asked, her eyes shining with curiosity "I know it may sound like a simple question but for all I know, digimon and their Tamers tend to meet on a very weird forms, it will hard to find two Tamers with the same experience!"

"As much as possible I want to avoid the 'danger' part, seriously!" Karin tsukkomi'd. Why is she so cheerful about her life being in danger? Is people related to Digital World somehow lost their sanity and thinks that their life flashing before their very eyes no longer a scary thing? Holy shit. She'd rather not get into Digital World like this!
Being a drama queen? But she looked like as if she's totally hurt by what she said. Well this is so confusing! Worse punch to her pride? Gee, she had no idea what to say at all now. Karin just... decided that this probably not worth it. She continue consuming the food on her lap.
But before Miyu finished with her question, Freya put her petal finger on her lips.
"Now now, there are Digimons who doesn't like their partner being called 'Tamer', Miyu-chan. I'm one of those. Digimons are free. I know that's the catch term for human with one or two partners, but I prefer 'Partnered' instead."
"I don't think I'm a tamer either," Karin answered. "If anything she felt like the tamer one."
"Ara, ufufufu~ Such a dangerous comment. Well, you see Miyu-chan, we met when one day Karin-chan was going to a forest for some reason..."
"...I was guided, I had no idea what caused it. I just want to. My music career was it lowest. I had fight with bandmates because I can no longer picks up guitar and plays song that we used to play. Our drummer called me useless. I had no problem to quit it, I know I'm having problem... but that person was the latest addition because our former drummer has graduated. I just stormed off, tossed them my resignation letter the same day and never returned. I... I don't know why. Everytime I have to play certain song I always froze. If I try to practice, I felt nauseated.
...In the end I just left all of that, go to the forest to read and... well, scream. I hoped no one heard me screaming like that. I just need a nice place to let all this chaos in my heart settle... I mean, my music career fell, I had no idea what happened in my two years of life because I'm amnesic, and shit that can go wrong, well... go wrong! It's exactly Murphy's Law you know? And that's where I met Freya..."

"OK Miyu you should stop pointing out the times you were at death's doorstep it's really not helping at all" the Chinese girl thought, honestly she can't help it better remembering it with a smile and joke about it than show how much it scarred you and worry everyone around you, if there was one thing Miyu always wanted is for everyone around her to smile even if it meant that she need to hide her own worries, problems and fears, but maybe this time would be easier to not do that
"Look, sorry if I'm scaring you, but it's easy for me to laugh about it than remember it for what it was, no one want to be that close to the other world like that, trust me twice in the same day and twice more the next two days is enough visits to death's doorstep, but I'm still here isn't that what it counts?" Miyu asked she wasn't smiling anymore as she had more serious yet calm expression "And since the last time I'm on a break of the digital world and been here doing this for a month and some weeks, I know it's a month because certain some one keeps reminding me about it" She said throwing an obvious jab at her partner, to which the perfectly normal flower in the bush answer by rising one of her claws "BETTER THAT NOT BE YOUR MIDDLE VINECLAW MISSY!" Bloom could be a little bitter about being grounded in the human world 24/7 specially since there is something inside of her calling to go back to the digital world, an urge that needs to be satisfy but that still may take a while or a couple of visits without her tamer
Another thing to remember, not everyone likes the "tamer" tag, truth be told Miyu prefers too to call Bloom her Best Friend Forever, in any case not a big fault on her side and it'll best to focus on Karin's story, hearing that she was in a band put a smile on the Chinese girl as she's a fan of music, any kind of music she does find orchestral music more enjoyable but there is no genre she would say no to.
Tho her smile slowly fade as she heard the rest of the story, it is sad to hear how things spiraled out of control so suddenly, well isn't it nice that she got Freya at that moment? A digimon no matter the time they come always create a change in the routine and most of the time for the best, if anything having some one to share those things can alleviate the weight some people carry and Freya seems like the type that it's fun to be around so things should be getting better soon.
"My brother use to say that once you hit rock bottom, there is no other way than up, so stand up and climb back!" Miyu said trying to cheer up the blonde "Besides you're not alone on this climbing, I'm sure Freya will help and hold you and it might be a little sudden but I'll be there too if you need it" She smiled

"I understand but I'd rather not get reminded that it's world full of monsters that might will threaten my life every five seconds thank you," Karin answered. "That'd be too traumatizing for any newbies to enter. A little warning would have sufficed!"
In all of these talk, Freya silently giggled on the side. Honestly, would she believed her if she told her that she done the same thing to a newbie anyway? This was hilarious. As much as she wanted to burst out laughing, it's best for them to not know why she's laughing to begin with.
Still... be there for her? Karin... just stopped eating at that moment. After swallowing what's in her mouth, she walked to nearby vending machine, bought four water bottles and gave two at Miyu while popping two open for her and Freya. The Floramon immediately poured the water to her feet and sighed contently.
"...You... You're a weirdo you know?" Karin suddenly said. "...You don't know me, you don't know anything of me other than a part of my circumstance and we just met few minutes ago and you positively says that you'll have my back? You don't even know if I'm a jerk or not or anything like that... you don't even know if I would return the favors, and yet you... you told me that you positively will have my back?"
"....Fufu, don't worry about it, I think she means it in positive way."
"You're a weirdo too Freya."
"That I'm aware."

Miyu just shrugged if it was that important she was going to stop mentioning how bad things went in the digital world, actually she was going to stop anyways as she finally explain her reasoning there was no need to bring it up again, the Chinese girl couldn't hide her smile seeing Freya giggle, at leas someone was enjoying herself
"That's fair, I wasn't going to touch the topic anymore, just wanted to explain why I was so happy and laughing about it"
Finally Bloom decided to get out of the bushes and join them again, she took a deep breath and then make a little bow apologizing for her little scene just some minutes ago, she got just in time to listen to Miyu say that she'd help Karin on the figurative climb if she wanted, that made the Palmon smile with pride, that's her Tamer always ready to help
"It goes without saying but I'll be there too!"
This is how this dynamic duo rolls,quick to make friend and help them out in anything possible, no one will be sad as long as one of these girls have the last word, is kind of an instinct Miyu have to try and cheer/help anyone and everyone, while on Bloom's case is part of her pride as a Bancho to help everyone in need and cheer up those who are down, after all BanchoLillymon is the less scary looking of all the group.
Miyu could only laugh as Karin give her two bottles of water and call her weirdo, it is certainly one way to describe her, she always goes against what's expected and tries to highlight between the crowd, if being a weirdo means she will remember and leave a mark on people she'll be the biggest weirdo this world has seen.
"Well, yeah" She nodded when asked that if she was positively going to get her back "I consider myself good at judging people, for what I've seen so far I can positively say that you're not a bad person, not sure if you can be a jerk but I don't have a problem with jerks nor I care if you will return the favors, I'll do it because I can and want no need for favors or anything"
"And even if you do something that could "hurt" us we'll forgive you and keep helping in all we can, because we believe that deep down everyone is good and can't be evil just because, we are product of our environment and you can't blame a person for that"
"You're getting as ten thousand chances if you need them even more, we want the positive to outweigh the negative and if there is something we can do to make that heppne we'll do it" She finish and finally took a sip from her bottle of water and pouring a little on Bloom's flower

Karin just raised an eyebrow at that. "Ladies, do you... do you remember that you," she pointed at Miyu "said that you're currently in a break, because you're nearly died three times? And now like you... wanted to help a stranger? And like... came out of your hiatus early? That's a bit heavy if you ask me. It's like you're tossing out your discomfort just helping someone you know today..."
"See? Miyu-chan is right. There's no way someone who thinks about other's feeling can be a bad person. You're definitely not suited to play the bad girl role," Freya commented.
"...L-leave me be. I really don't get it alright? I really don't get it how people could do something to another person that's not even their... friends. We just met today, we're not comrades who fight for countless of years together, we're not childhood friends or anything and you just knew my surface level, but why are you even insisting on helping someone like me who had nothing to offer, and not even someone who wouldn't even trust you immediately?"
"Well..." Freya smiled and looked at her partner directly on the eyes "People had to start somewhere. Relationship doesn't start from nothing, you understand this, right? It doesn't matter if you don't trust them immediately... They're not looking out anything for you, In a sense, if you ask 'why do you help me' and someone just said 'because it's right'... they're simply satisfying their desire to help you. This satisfaction is a reward enough, but you can return the favor."
"...Seriously, I just don't know what to do with you weirdos."

Miyu tilt her head curiously as Karin point at her and remind her that she said that was on a break, I mean true but she didn't say anything about helping her out going to the digital world, that was odd to say the least tho Freya agreeing with Miyu made her smile.
"You want to go there" She answered with a smug expression on her face "I never mention leaving my hiatus of the digital world, that's something you added, and even then for all you the times you said you didn't want to hear about it you never leave, I'm not holding you in any moment you could've pick Freya and leave with your food but you stood even if you didn't like the topic, which makes me think that a part of you does want to know and explore it even if you won't admit it just yet"
Maybe Miyu was overthinking it but that was what she got out of all of this, but that aside it was time to explain why she wanted to help, tho Freya already explain it perfectly it's nothing greater than "I do it because I want and I can", a selfless act to cheer up some one was one of the reasons Miyu lives for, as long as she made smile one person she considers that it was a productive day
"Stop thinking or looking for a logical explanation, it's just the way I am"
"The one thing you can do is accept that this weirdos are here to stay" Bloom laughed

"...Well, I would be lying if I said I don't have any interest toward Digital World business, especially considering someone keep saying she's almost dead several times but still going at it anyway and laugh at the experience... kind of making me wonder just what sort of madness going on... but I think any people naturally would think that your kind of help is that sort of help you know? There's... not much else I guess?" Karin commented.
Stop thinking the logical explanation, huh...
"Fine, I guess I'll do that indeed... you guys are... really weirdos."
"Well, as it happened, none of us minded that predicate at all!" Freya countered. "Now, why don't we just eat the food while we're here?"
"Or maybe eat something more... Actually, I'd love to pay you to cook today for me. I'm not in mood to cook. If you're not going to help me survive Digital World, at least let me pay you to be my chef for the day, please... and let's go shopping or something."
"Well, what do you say, girls?" Freya asked the two. "Karin is a disastrous cook apparently, and more people eating the merrier I think!"
"...Well, I guess that's the logic."

Miyu laughed at Karin's explanation, it seems that in the end she did got her attention to the digital world and here she thought she was just scaring her out of it, also it's nice to hear that she thought of her helping on the digital adventures means that Miyu has a new partner for exploring when she eventually decides to go back
"Usually when people say that "they'll be there when you need them" means in general not just crazy digitial world shenanigans"
Calling her weirdo is not gonna make the Chinese girl stop, if anything she's proud of being a weirdo people will remember more the weirdo rather the completely normal and ground to earth person, kinda like an important character on TV is highlighted by dressing different and in vibrant colors, Miyu wants to be everything but a background character
The eyes of Miyu widened and a goofy smile was drawn on her face as Karin pretty much contract her to cook for her, this is a nice jump from selling food! Bloom noted the expression on her tamer and she knew what this meant, looking at Karin she could only say
"Run" Before getting cut off by her tamer
"YES I ACCEPT!" She sprung from the ground directly to Karin looking all happy and excited "What would you like? I have tons of recipes! Zongzi, Wonton soup, Kung Pao Chicken" Miyu started making a small list of what she could make "OH OH! I COULD MAKE SOME APPETIZERS TOO! I could make some Jiaozi" She continue rambling on her own
"Too late... This weirdo is not going to leave your life now, congrats!"

"Well I guess that would be a miscommunication then," Karin waved it off as such. Sadly, she had no idea what sort of crazy business that she got tangled with. Takamiya Karin, 16 years old, is indeed someone who cannot cook. She has asked several times for her family, her boyfriend, or even her friends to cook for her. Otherwise, she would eat those high end konbini bento stuff that she can easily microwave. Why she can't cook? No one knows, but she's basically a cooking disaster...
Either way, she... got caught it's seem.
Holy shit, what am I got caught in? she thought deep inside her heart.
"E-errr, let's start with something with rice. I can't really handle spices,, so please go easy on me...." either way, she guessed that this person is enough to be trusted. "...How does 25000 yen per week for making me food for breakfast, lunch and dinner? The expenses for the meal, I'll handle it."
"...25000 yen a week is not a bad deal if you ask me," Freya commented.

25000 a week? For breakfast, lunch and Dinner? AND the expenses for the meal? Oh my god Miyu couldn't be more happy for this, cooking was one of her passions right next to knitting and sewing and now some one is just asking her to do it three times the whole week and it's getting paid for that? How can she say no?
"You got yourself a personal Chef" She said making a small bow "Something with rice huh? Well how about Zongzi? It's like a rice ball but you fill it with meat or peas and envelop it with a Bambu leaf it's a great appetizer, or if you want something more for dinner I can make the famous Yang Zhou Chao Fan or as it's famously known the "Rice Three Delights" it has rice obviously, pork, eggs, carrots, peas, garlic and onions, it's a pretty big dish that a lot of people orders when visiting China"
Bloom didn't know if it feel happy for Miyu or fear for poor Karin, she doesn't know what she unleashed, but hey her Tamer was happy and it's been a while since she saw her this excited for something and that's good, more friends is always a plus!
"You've open Pandora's Box, now you have to deal with her but I guess that's nice! Means will be seeing each other pretty frequently, weirdos must stick together, right?" Bloom said between smiles and giggles

"I'll leave it to you," Karin answered. "I don't know much about Chinese food, and I'm not really a picky eater. Just don't give me anything too spicy and we'll be good, Mmmm, also, is it possible if you pack the lunch for school too? Please don't make it too smell-heavy with the lunch though... like, I prefer to not eat too much garlic or other very strong smelling food before dinner if possible. When it's holiday though anything goes. I don't really go out that much."
Pandora box? "Look, I cannot cook for the life of me, and I don't think Freya can cook in that form so regardless we'll be needing a personal chef sooner or later. I think it's best if we hired someone who already proven themselves to us. Pandora box or not I'll take it. It's better than outright disaster box. At least Pandora Box still let you hope in one way or another, but disaster box? Forget it. The result is still the same. Anyway, here's my address..."
Karin wrote the address on a piece of paper. "I'll be depending on you then. Please start working from dinner if that's suitable for you? After all I just had lunch... Ah, and here's my phone address... Strange considering how now I got two phones with me... the Digivice one seem to be more convenient, so I'll share it with you. About the ingredients, how would you like it to be handled? Like, should I go to grocery prior or would you like to go to grocery prior?"
