The sakuras are blooming... which honestly an amazing sight. He never seen such a pretty sight before, at least not in Odaiba where he lived, or in Shibuya where he currently studied. According to the people from Terminus, they saw his partner in this island. Really? Well Hinomaru isn't a rare name... but everytime he asked about the characteristics written in the book, they immediately raised their eyebrows as if the Hinomaru they know isn't a Hyokomon... They admitted that this Hinomaru is a Hawkmon. He's a rare sight too. He does have that sword of Hinomaru, which named 'Tsubasamaru.... The shape also the same, but the Digimon are not the same?
Either way, Koutarou decided to come here, to this island, to see if it's truly his partner or not. To blend in better with the locale, he bought a traditional cloth and wore it. Now, if he's not wearing his glasses, he would definitely look like someone from Meiji era.
...Considering that soon it's Reiwa Era, this sure is a rather surprising change, huh.
Well, anyway, for now Koutarou is eating mitarashi dango on one of the tea shop in that place. If he recalled it correctly, the person said that Hinomaru is in this Hinageshi Village.

Mae didn't really have a solid grasp on how long she had been here, but all things considered? With how stressed she had been as of late, it was a necessary stay. The Blossom Isles were, in short, a rather refreshing area to be staying at. In fact, the Meicrackmon, someone who loathed being seen in her actual form, was actually wandering around sans a holosuit, wrapped in the blue cloak she was known for.
Hinageshi Village was said to have some nice tea, and that was, coincidentally, her next destination here. The feline stopped to glance around, and noticed a place vending that which she came here for. Perfect. "Time to see what this has that the Library doesn't." She muttered as she went to order the nectar of the millennial.
Bubble tea. Also dango. But mostly bubble tea. Hopefully nobody shady was in that shop. Like some guy with glasses. Or a Hawkmon. Or a Kotemon. Or anything shady.

Bobba tea? In place like this? Well... this is... this is strange. But he guessed that not all thing must be authentic. Perhaps that techniques of the real world spreads to this place. Maybe it's one of Hikaru's antics where he sells some to people who came from this place... who knows. But either way, he hoped that the cat does not mind a bit of a talk.
"Excuse me... er..."
...Come to think of it, is this a miss or a mister? Digimon assumes a gender rather than actually having them. They at times also prefer gender neutral pronouns... This is frankly confusing, and he's not really in the state to think about those honestly.
"...Erm..."
"For the sixth time, I say, I'm not related to any banana swinging Hawkmons! Just how many times should I repeat this until you're satisfied, sir!?"
A Hawkmon was walking out of what looked like a theatre. "I'm a musician I say, not an actor! And I'm not planning to be one, especially not if I have to be some foil to Agumon in orange costume. What era doth thy think this is? This is Reiwa era, Heisei is no longer with us! Banana as spear? Hath thou lost thy sanity? Humans might love that, but all thou do are thou copied culture of another place before flaunting thy own! Do reconsider!"
And that's when the Hawkmon with accordion approached the Bobba tea shop. "Owner! A cold tea for me, and some sakura mochi! Not only they hath no interest of mine instrument, they offered me a nonsensical role as a 'Banana Knightmon' or whatever it is! Pshaw!"

In truth, Mae wasn't expecting them to actually...well, be capable of providing that. That was a pleasant surprise. She felt that she was being addressed, so the feline turned and glanced...downwards. "Eh?" She began, before she heard shouting. Banana-swinging Hawkmon?
Now that was about as embarrassing as getting into an argument over Tamernet and getting roasted by the government shitposter. A real shot to the pride. Mae glanced to the diminutive human before glancing to the Hawkmon. "...What's with the theater and fruit-themed Digimon?" She opted to ask aloud, looking more than a tad confused. THEN and only then did she glance to Koutarou. "Are...Er. Do you need anything? I'm just waiting for my tea and dango, honest..."

"Ah eh?" that sight from before confused Koutarou as much as Mae. Thankfully this one feline Digimon did not seem to be hostile or stuck up like his previous entourage. "A-ah, no, I don't mean to disturb you or anything like that... I'm here to ask question you see... Um..."
..That Hawkmon from before, he wonder if he's famous. He doesn't have the sword though, which led him to believe that he's not his partner.
"...Have you seen a Digimon around here... looks like a chick, with with samurai ties, big eyebrows and still in its shell? Oh um... apparently that Digimon is now a Hawkmon, but there should be a sword on his back that said 'Tsubasamaru'. It's an oodachi for that digimon, almost as long as he is tall... with blue sheathe and white handle... Ummmmm...
...I dunno anymore. I guess that scene fro before kind of made me speechless honestly..." Koutarou laughed nervously. Albeit it's a nervous laughter, it's a natural reaction. He guess the absurdity of the situation made him naturally reacted like that..

The small person asked if she had seen a particular Digimon around...Looked like a chick, samurai motif, still in the shell. "No, I haven't seen any Hyokomon around here...They're very jovial, though. Upbeat. Easy to spot, so you might fin---....Ooooh. A Hawkmon with a long sword..."
Mae glanced between Koutarou and the irate Hawkmon. "He might have an instrument right now, but that doesn't rule out the possibility of him having a sword stashed somewhere. Maybe you could ask him? Granted, he's the only Hawkmon I've seen on these isles since I've gotten here, and I've seen...a lot."
The Meicrackmon took a sigh. "Sorry if that doesn't help too much, I could...try looking into the future to see where a Hawkmon with a sword like that might be?"

Eh? Look into the future? "...I..." Fortunetelling? Koutarou's expression looked like as if he's not sure how he should reply to this. The cat lady said she can look into the future? "...I... I'm sorry, but I'm not sure that I'm... uh... the right person for that... N-No offense, Miss, but I don't believe in fortunetelling."
...Then again, where did she hid a crystal ball or cards?
"...How can he stash a sword somewhere?" Koutarou asked despite that awkwardness. After all, he didn't see any satchel or anything similar... but...
"Pardon, is it me that you're talking abou---nh!?"
The Hawkmon from before apparently overheard their talk, and the moment he saw Koutarou, looks like the puzzle pieces fell into its rightful hole.
"Tono!"
"...Ah, bingo. Miss, this is the Hawkmon that I'm looking for after all."
"Tono! This lowly I is very gladdened to see that you're in great health! I, Hinomaru, might not be of my old form, but my desire to serve under my liege is still one and the very same! Please, allow this lowly I to once again offer my blade to you!"
"W-wait wait wait hold on, formalities aside...."
...
"I see..."
Koutarou explained the entire debacle, of how he's missing two-three years of his memories, which essentially invalidates the travel in Digital World and all that. The thing is his journal is intact. The Hawkmon 'Hinomaru' currently flipping at the pages, checking the content.
"...No, I can't say that this is intact... There are a lot of holes and whatnots... And not to mention..."
Koutarou's Digivice is still unresponsive. its screen are filled with noises. It... doesn't react to his 'partner' at all.
"...How can this be... Even my connection with Tono are severed...!"

"No, no, it's not fortune telling with tarot cards, it's literal future sight--Have you ever heard of the Digimon Rasielmon?" Nevermind that. It was time to elaborate on where one could store a giant sword. "Furthermore, have you ever heard of an Infini-Store? Obviously he put it there. Or it's magic."
Nobody ever had to explain what the fuck magic was or what it did. Nonetheless, it seemed that the guess that Mae had placed was correct. That Hawkmon, also known as the only Hawkmon she had seen on the Blossom Isles, was the fabled Hawkmon that this small person was looking for.
One wouldn't be at fault for assuming that Mae would just move on and go enjoy her tea in peace. Yet that was not the case. The mere mention of who the Hawkmon was, 'Hinomaru,' incited a sudden and -nasty- ache in the head of the Meicrackmon. "Yeah, uh...You figure that chosen child stuff out. I need a moment..."
The memories she inherited from her father had a bad habit of doing that to her. The Meicrackmon moved to take a seat at a table to nurse her headache, and silently uttered a few curses directed towards a certain one-armed Kotemon.

"U-um, no, miss. I'm admittedly as new as they come... or better say, maybe the old me know about them, but the... present me, I have no recollection of any Digital World event so... I'm sorry if that somehow offended you, but no, I'm not aware of that."
Still, looks like Koutarou was not the only one the Hawkmon, Hinomaru, found curious. The Hawkmon looked at Mae, with his claw scratching the underside of his beak.
"Are you OK?" Koutarou asked. "Having migraine or just headache? Which part of the brain that is hurting?"
Hinomaru, meanwhile... "...Pardon me for asking this while you're in pain, fair lady... this humble me found a rather strange... anomaly in you. Your signal reminds this humble me of a dear companion, nay, perhaps a comrade samurai. I hath not met him in this life, but in other life, it felt he was a special one.
Humor this foolish avian question if you please, lady. Do you happened to be a child of mine companion?"
Of course life is different in different iterations... but even then, if this lady is in fact Kappy's daughter, then he probably should congratulate him...
...Yes, he's oblivious that Meicoomons are usually treated as unwanted scourge in Digital World.

...Strange explanation to give, but that did at least explain the lack of knowledge about the ophanim. "Migraine." She explained, though it was best to say that it was a migraine brought on by some genuinely unpleasant facets about herself. The Hawkmon seemed insistent on bringing that to the surface by revealing -why.-
This chicken knew Kappy. This chicken knew her father. "Of course that's my dad. It's almost like he gave me the mantle I wear or something." Mae hissed. "What, are you going to try lopping my head off like he did?" ...That was a bit of a stupid question, considering where they were.
Yet at the same time, nobody'd blame anyone for trying to get rid of a Meicoomon.

"Migraine? I guess I'll ask for some ginger tea, please wait for a moment," Koutarou told the Meicrackmon. This is before she revealed the connection. The boy vanished inside the store, seem to ask about the menu. This means it leave the Hawkmon and the Meicrackmon.
...To which honestly the Hawkmon raised his wing. "Hold. What do you say? Your father... wishes to end your life?" and from the tone, there are seem to be something deeper than that. "As far as I know your father only have hatred toward a Black Tailmon and a female Lucemon... Oh, and a certain degenerate of orange samurai dino... And even then I'm not sure if that's the case. The Kappy-dono I know would not swing his blade toward his own child... there must be something behind it, correct?
My greatest apologies to bring this up, but I do not wish to end your life, nor I wish to harm you. There must be more than meet the eye, but do understand that I will not judge you for the crime you have not done. If you wish to end this talk here, then we shall end it here. However, if you wish to talk more, I shall hear you. There must be a lot of thing you wish to speak, but cannot because how heavy is it, isn't it?"

"Wished. Past tense. Up until recently his...mind wasn't his own. I have a feeling I've seen the perpetrator of that numerous times in my visions, but that's...an issue for another time." Mae held familiarity with the two people (and a sub-digimon creature the likes of which should not be mentioned within a normal conversation) that Hinomaru spoke of. She feared one more than she did the other, but...No.
Fear wasn't a proper word to describe how she felt towards those two.
Loathe, however, was. The mere mention of that brought forth all manner of disgust in the Meicrackmon. "...Then we end it here. My problems are far, far away from these isles. You and your partner on the other hand seem to be having an issue of your own. I've seen things--many things through my eyes and eyes that don't quite belong to me. But they're unimportant at this moment."

"So you meant he might be affected by some sort of virus?" Hinomaru asked
It was funny for this lady to be concerned of his situation. Hinomaru chuckled and pat her hand gently. "You're a kind young lady aren't you? To worry yourself with someone else's problem like this... You're definitely someone that I would treasure if you were my own flesh and blood."
Still, he guess it's his turn to recite his tale of what happened. "I think I know what caused this.
Me and my group of friends was one of few who affected by this... strange phenomenon. We dubbed this Digimon "Bondbreaker". I have no recollection of what it looked like, which honestly one of its ability. It severs someone's memory of relations, breaking bond, and it's above Digivice in power. As Digivice connects human and Digimon, breaking this bond means their bond no longer active. In our case... well, it was a worst case because the moment our bond severed we ceased to be. Maybe some other Digimons are lucky, but not with us.
I was the last affected by it, so I feel like... We managed to make a counter-act... but even the it's not working in its greatest. You see the book Tono carried around? That holds most story of our journey. Thing with it however... not even by reading it Tono could remember any of our journey. I'm guessing that the failsafe is not a successful one.
My guess is that Tono's memory of Digital World has been completely consumed by this monstrosity."

"Not might. He was. It's not the case anymore. And...What kind of a sociopathic reprobate would I have to be to not want to help people...?" That was a bit of a rhetorical question. She was hoping nobody actually decided to answer it, or else that'd be a bit awkward.
"Bondbreaker? ...They'd better change the name, or else I'm afraid I'm going to need to engage them in a legal battle, because some call me the Fatebreaker." Mae muttered, a frown quickly growing on her face as she heard Hinomaru's tale. From what he was telling her, this Digimon acted akin to a memory wiping device like you'd see in a movie. It even managed to break a bond that some say can't be broken by anything.
...How?
That question would be answered in time. "...If it breaks bonds and eats memories, what's stopping you two from making a new bond? Making new memories? I...uh. I apologize if this seems a bit...pretentious. So it affected you...Does it have to do with why you're a Hawkmon and not a Hyokomon?"

"Well, let me say this, but... In this world, people doesn't usually so readily helps strangers, much less is the matter is as complicated as ours. People doesn't have to feel obliged to help... but yet here you are, offering to help. Isn't that fantastic? Isn't that what it means to have a big heart? Even if it's a commonplace, I still feel that is a great mindset to have, young lady."
Hinomaru chuckled at the legal thing. "And what would Judge Mae said? Something along the line of 'This is case is ruled bullshit, and if you're against that you can demand trial by sword'?" he joked. "Either way, that's what it's called. If we know more of its nature, we could probably pinpoint of a better name. But problem is we don't know more than that you see?
Well, about new bonds, new memories... yes, yes we can just do it. It won't prevent anything, but... Apparently, those who are severed by this monstrosity in full... is reformatted into solo Digimon. The fact that my memories about Tono still existed means that this method has failed and I might have chance of being partnered with Tono again, but... even so... I have no idea how.
About my existence as Hawkmon, well... that, is more to result of the severing. Since our bond is severed, my link to the Digivice also severed, thus I immediately... rebooted, I guess? I don't think I'm reformatted considering I still have memories of Tono and all that... But in the process, I for some reason, has become a Hawkmon. Perhaps it's similar to death, you can say, and I have been reborn."
