“You don’t have to be worrisome with the look I have on my face. I sometimes react differently when making the stern glance, but that doesn’t mean I’m forcing anyone to choose carefully what they want to say.”

whenever someone enters the In-Between Theater. Then again, this was none of its concern until fully noticed by its lavender-haired friend during any crisis happening in either Digital World, whether it’s Illiad, Shambala, or the main one.

“...I noticed. Knowing Mirei, it could benefit her a lot to welcome beings and discover other iterations of the Digital World, whether it is connected to the human world or not, depending on the scenario, assisting them in their destiny.”

The King stated this because it knew what Mirei does -

State your purpose for being here.”

“...First that humanoid primate child, and now another non-human enters the Tea Room of the In-Between Theater. These random visits keep getting interesting, it's almost like the Human World isn’t the only place to come into contact with the Digital World.

he was visiting.

“Records? Ah, you mean the Akashic Records? I doubt the one Mirei mentions is very different from yours because the Records she has the most knowledge on carries every data recorded of the past, present, and future on multiple iterations of the Digital World....”

The moment Yggdrasil heard Hibiki carrying the King’s records of many timelines (or iterations), it was calm. The King was self-aware such a thing could happen, but it was in no position to judge Hibiki. What really caught its attention was the mention of the Records, despite hearing him say -

In-Between Theater?”

the ability to change appearances, whether Mirei is in the form of a teenager or an adult. Whichever form she is in, Yggdrasil will notice. This difference was more than enough to make up.

The moment Hibiki sat down, the king began to speak.

“What purpose, or reason, do you have in the -

“So it explains why I sensed a similar presence coming from you. Almost.”

This man... The King couldn’t help but compare Hibiki to its friend Mirei. Thing is, there was a difference, and the former was right. While Mirei isn’t on the same level as that man, Yggdrasil acknowledges her for having -

“...I’ll remember your words, such in case.”

Chaotic. When was the last time the King heard, or seen the type happening in the Digital World? The last time it remembers was itself witnessing the Royal Knights being overpowered by a certain Great Demon Lord... But this isn’t the case...

not.”

The good news could've made Yggdrasil smile, but as a Host Computer, it couldn’t. Instead, the king responded once Majora reported the issue.

“Is it true? Then good. Such things should never happen again to Child-level (Rookie-level) Digital Monsters hearing things from different beings, human or -

“A human in the In-Between Theater? The amount of visitors arriving in the room keeps getting old, yet- Huh? Why did I detect a similar presence of Mirei, coming from you?”

Inside the tea room of the In-Between Theater, there was a knock at the door. Yggdrasil is the only one inside while Homeros and Kunlun are away, monitoring their perspective Digital Worlds. Who is it the King will encounter this time?

“...Come in.”

“I never expected the two of us meeting again, human.”

Once again, Yggdrasil was showing a stern look in the human form avatar to Subaru, but could you blame them for trying to speak in a different tone, without showing any emotion?
