Special Delivery~! [Completed]

Ten chocolate cupcakes with cream filling huh. Someone must be really liking that chocolate to order that many, or maybe is dividing it between families. Two each and three for two. Sounds like a father, a mother, and two child? Or if there are three children then two for everyone. Either way, Ryouta quickly put the entire batch of order to the box and closed it. However, since there is a small promotion today, buying ten cakes will give a special milk based drink to enjoy together with the dessert.

It's tall too, about a liter or so, so he guess that's another one to bring.

Once he put the items on his Infini-Store, Ryouta quickly sent a "I'm going!" on his father's way, who waved at him. He's busy in the kitchen after all. Will he also have the same sort of problem later when he become a culinary student? Either way, he drives his motorcycle to the given address...

Well, either way, he took out the item before going to the assigned door. By the way, curious people might notice how the temperature of the drink and food does not change since time of making it. Ryouta pretended that he does have some secret way to store it, but really... it's just infini-store at work.

Anyway, time to ring the bell. "Excuse me! Your order from Le Petit Draco!"

Yeah, he definitely opened it gently alright. Does the owner have difficulty in opening? And well, he definitely looked ahead to chair or something... and turned out, the client is in wheelchair. "Right, sorry about that, Miss. Let's see... order of ten chocolate cupcakes with cream filling, is that right? Please check it if you don't mind," Ryouta handed the cupcakes first. They're indeed chocolate cupcakes, and decorated with the cafe's mascot on the top. It's made out of chocolate apparently.

"Well, many said that about my body, it's just training and genetics really... and some protein shakes, but that's beside the point," Ryouta joked. "Hope you like it though, I was the one who made that. Oh also, please have this," Ryouta passed the milk drink. "It's still in trial, I believe it's our milkshake, using blend of caramel and chocolate. The texture is apparently closer to ice cream."

Sadly it doesn't looks like Ryouta recognized her. After all, Ryouta's youtube is pretty much used only to listen to his favorite band or watching cooking channel. But even so, he guessed that because she lives alone... Probably she's doing this for mukbang or something?

"So in total it would be two thousand and five hundred yen, miss. With the delivery, add five hundred yen so that is three thousand yens."

...Trill

...Oh, did he misheard it? That sounded like trill of Digivice.

"Looks like all is in order then," Ryouta nodded. Of course it's fresh from the oven! well, not so "fresh", but you got the idea. In his opinion, this one dessert might be a bit strange to be eaten hot, but it's actually better hot or warm than cold. The texture, the melty, soft texture is best eaten right after it's out of the oven... well, left cooling a bit and you know how it goes. Still, the lady is quite a fun person.

"My rule is to not take flirts on job," Ryouta commented coyly "or take flirts at face value for it. Either way, don't make me consider it seriously, lady. I have been single for some time."

Keep the change huh? "Nah, it's not needed, thank you anyway. Our shop has rule against tipping the worker because we pay the worker enough. That includes the owner's son," Ryouta answered. He gave the lady the change obviously. "Honestly, instead of tipping maybe you could taste one and tell me what you think about the taste. The chef is a delivery boy today, so might as well."

Though, the arrival of Amazon delivery service guy sort of caught him off guard. Gilgamesh figure? Oh this must be that Fa**/Gra** Ord** that is very popular with people his ages lately. To him it's more to waste of money with gacha though... But Koharu is apparently a free to play player with high luck... that girl's luck is always high in strange things.

"What, so you're metuber, Lady? I thought you did this for mukbang, but you probably did a lot of different stuff huh."

Well, Chinatsu is right, Ryouta is still 18 years old. Next year, he'll be definitely attempting to either go abroad or take cooking school somewhere outside of Tokyo. He'll probably busy most of the time, but either way... Dating, as flattering as it is, seem to be secondary focus point for the teen right now. He smiled when his cupcake was praised though.

"Glad to see that you love it. Don't mind to call us for future business prospect. Or if you want to order some more, I do have free sample in my bike just so you know which to get next time," Ryouta commented. Was that too much of a business offer? Regardless, Ryouta whistled when he heard the number of subscriber.

"One million subscriber? I think that's quite a big number, yeah. Must be dang popular huh? What sort of thing do you do? Just figure unboxing and gacha? Or many other things?"

Hearing that she doesn't do mukbang made Ryouta wonder if the lady is a sweet tooth, or a chocolate lover. Should he choose chocolate platter or should he choose mixed platter instead?

However, his thought was cut by the sound of the Digivice getting louder, that and Chinatsu say something along the line of "Chinese Bootleg"

"PFFFT--- BWAHAHAHAHA!"

...Oops, that voice is definitely not him. That's his partner there inside his D-Nexus.

"I CAN'T, I CAN'T...! DIGIVICE, CHINESE BOOTLEG, OH MY HOMEOSTASIS, AHAHAHAHAHAH!! MY SIDES, CRAMPING, OH MERCY!"

"Valt, shush," Ryouta tried to silence the dragon down, but either way...

"...Well, looks like I have to stay over for a while. Do you mind if I begin explaining, then, Sugisatta-san?"

"Sorry, I don't usually watch Metube for its more podcasting content or similar features. I'm usually just there for the cooking recipes and various tutorials. I love doing DiY stuff I guess. And well, because my interest on college is different from my classmates, I tend to not chat with them as much after school... plus with the college exams going around, going to school has not been mandatory, so yeah."

Tokyo drifting though? "Part of me thinks that you got few tricks with that wheelchair somehow," Ryouta commented in amusement. "Quite catchy though."

About what to explain... first, Ryouta closed the door, but did not lock it to make the lady understand that he's not trying to do anything funny. "Let's take a sea--I mean I'll take a seat because it's probably going to be hard for your neck to keep craning like that. Anyway..." Ryouta took out his Digivice, the D-Nexus and pressed a button. "Valt, Realize."

And from the screen, the blue skinned Vmon appeared. He's definitely more muscular looking than most Vmon, and with a lot of battle scars to boot. However, not that Chinatsu would know about it. Valt raised a peace sign at the girl. "Yossho~ Name's Valt! I'm Aniki's partner... well, this big dude here is my partner."

"...I think that's not the first thing to say to new chosen but eh... Anyway, Sugisatta-san, that thing on your hand... that's called a Digivice. Digivice are prove of you being chosen. A chosen is a human who can... go to other world. The world in which these creature lives... These I mean, like Valt. They're called Digimon. You know Po**mon? Think of those critters, more menacing, and definitely sapient. Those are Digimons."

"As much as it's fun feeling a Kaleid Stick on my head, I prefer it you," Valt pushed the stick away with his index finger "probe me with in other manner, Miss." Well, probing him with the thing honestly does not feels nice! But this sort of event is rare lately so Valt is thinking to enjoy this as much as he can. That's no problem isn't it? Either way...

"Yeah, I think it's best if we start it slowww... yeah? Anyway, let's begin with the simple explanation..."

Valt took out a small whiteboard and draws earth on it. "See, this is your planet, Earth. Digital World... is like a shadow of this world, a parallel world, so to say. It exist in different dimension, but for some reason, the two worlds are connected. That world, as the name suggests, made up of data. Data that you humans inputted to your computer, or anything that carries electronic informations for that matter, eventually ends up in Digital World."

Valt then pulled out illustration of Network Railway

"Generally, logics of real world does not apply to Digital World. The Digital World is inhabited by combat species, us, Digimons. We're pretty much like you humans, except with quite numbers of differences. Anyway, you're indeed chosen. For what reason? No one really know. We Digimons believed that humans influence might be beneficial for us, but some of other Digimons will treat you as nuisance, or even food. Reason for this? Humans been around for years in Digimon society. Some are truly beneficial to us, another actually uses their given power to do whatever they want and become nuisance and even danger to Digimon...

What power you ask? Well..."

Ryouta once again pulled his Digivice and activated it.


Valt immediately evolved from his Vmon form to XVmon. "...For one," the dragon continued in deeper voice "the ability to evolve Digimon to their next stage. Similar to Pokemon don't you think? Except we're cooler obviously."

The dragon had to hunch down to not hit the ceiling with his nose horn. Either way, Ryouta quickly devolved Valt back to Vmon.

The stick just bonk'd on Valt's head. "Hey now, you're hurting my feelings here! I'm not some scary monster! Well, I guess I am in your standard, but seriously? Don't toss your Kaleid Stick like that! Also, Pokemon does not exist, sorry to pop your bubbles, but hey, at least you got talking 'mons instead of you know... glorified monster pets. Anyway, let's go back to explanation.

So, there are three types of chosen, with different type of Digivices. Apparently some dumbasses in the administration tends to mix things up, but usually, that one? Your type is basically a Spirit user. Unlike me and Aniki, who's often called..." Valt airquoted, albeit with disdain "Tamers... which usually refers to a human with one or two Digimon partner, yours basically makes you partnered to... spirits of a Digimon. They're basically ghost of powerful Digimons who spliced to several different forms.

Do you know how Druid in DnD works? Well I guess it's pretty similar. Basically by using these totems, you can practically transform into said Digimon!"

...Why does Ryouta somehow imagine Chinatsu trying various magical girl poses as she evolves? Shaking his head, Ryouta added

"...There are even cases where when you spirit evolved, the weakness of the human body is completely disregarded. Someone blind could see, someone who weak become strong, and someone who can't walk..." he paused, hoping that he didn't steps out of bound "...can walk again in their evolved state."
