01x17 - Antipathy

[bunniefuu]

Get back here!

Darn it!

Huh?

Stop, ya know!

Take this!

Let's split up!

Got it!

The target's heading for Third Street.

Paralyze...

Water Screw!

Chiropmon!

You're... from Tactics...

I guess we have the same target.

Not that I'd ever care
about your little team!

Take this!

You won't escape!

Oh no!

Looks like we won.

Your choice of targets is poor.

That's why you let it slip through your...

Thank goodness it didn't hit you.

Huh?

Sister?

You're right! It's Hotaruko!

ANTIPATHY

Please take this.

I've handed over the Sapotama.

Go on ahead.
I need to check up on something.

Of course not.

I won't cause any of you trouble.
See you.

It's adorable!

Is this a doll? A robot?

Uh, it's an AI robot
with the latest protection functions.

I-I am Chiropmon.

So that's why it saved us!

Thank you, Chiropmon!

You two.

Let's go home.

Aww!

We still wanna talk!

He's your coworker, isn't he?

You told us that you've got
"capable colleagues," right?

You're a "career woman" after all!

Um, I'm...

That's right! He's my capable colleague
who works with me at the World Union!

His name is...

M-Makoto Kuonji.

Makoto!

I'm Kou Kanuma!

I'm Ao Kanuma!

Thank you for saving them earlier.

Here. I'll make it up to you
some other time.

Uh, r-right.

-No! Makoto's coming home with us!
-Huh?

-We're having dinner together!
-Huh?

It's really yummy!

What an unbelievable blunder.

OKONOMIYAKI KANUMA

So... what the heck is going on?

Wow!

Fluffy!

And the stuff about a cover story?

Sorry.

Chiropmon, what's tomorrow's weather?

S-Sunny.

Hey. Doesn't this one talk?

Help me.

Both of you.

No playing during meals.

Give those back and go on upstairs.

Okay.

Makocchan's filled us in on the details.

If you want to thank us
for helping your family,

how about you stop getting in our way?

We're just doing our job.

Don't blame us for your lack of skill.

Enough. Stop being disagreeable
in front of your friends.

Mother...

I'm so glad.

Hotaruko's never
brought friends home before.

Mother, please!

They're not my friends, they're...

I know. They're colleagues
from the World Union, right?

You're all so very young.

Is Hotaruko getting along at work?

I know she graduated college
by skipping grades,

but she was always focused
on studying, so I worry...

Skipping grades?

She said she'd become a researcher,
but she never comes home.

That's enough about me!

Hotaruko, check it out!

Ta-da! Our new running shoes!

We won a race with them!

They look good on you two.

If you ever need anything else, just ask.

Okay!

Thank you, Hotaruko!

Thank you!

You really get along.

I'm kind of jealous.

Huh?! Hey!

Is something wrong?

N-No, I'm fine.

Tomoro's plate's already empty.

That's fast!

No, it must be the food thief!

You're right!

Food thief?

Lately, ingredients keep vanishing
from our pantry.

It's happened to all the local stores.

Maybe there's a big rat or something.

Don't talk about rats, Mother.

Man, I'm stuffed!

So she hasn't told her family
that she's a Cleaner.

She's got her reasons.

We got a load of food out of it,
so who cares?

That okomoyaki was yummy!

Keep an eye on your Digimon!

What is it, Kyo?

It seems to be a stray Digimon
with no Owner.

It's going after food instead of e-Pulse.
We don't know why.

Got it. We'll check it out.

What now?

Let's ask around first.

Someone stealing food...

Makocchan?

Hey! Wait!

Sorry! I'll catch up with you later!

Hotaruko.

Mother.

I'll finish up the rest. Go on upstairs.

You're not staying the night?

A career woman has a busy life.

You don't have to send money, you know.

You worry too much, Mother.

I want to send money.

I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

Come home when you have time.

Sure. Thanks.

Shouldn't you tell them?

It'll just complicate things.

Getting kicked out of school because of
the accident that birthed you...

Not coming home
because of Tactics rules...

It's too much for Mother to handle.

You can't hide it forever.

Mother?

What?

Is it the food thief?

I'll check it out.

Shakomon?!

Hotaruko!

What's that?

I'm Burgamon.

Shakomon!

That food!

So that Digimon's the food thief!

Lots of e-Pulse!
This yummy food's all mine!

Get back here!

Paralyze Echo!

Green Pickles!

- OKONOMIYAKI KANUMA

- Thanks a bunch!

Hotaruko?

What a racket, are you okay?

Let's go!

Okay.

No trace of Burgamon.

There's nothing at all?

That's abnormally fast.

Maybe it took a vehicle or something?

Perhaps...

I thought it was strange.

How did they remain hidden
in such a crowded residential area?

If they used a boat at night
to carry all the food they stole...

Then it's headed for...

the ocean!

Yes... Yes...

I see. I understand.

Yes. Please meet up with us.

Any luck?

No traces of it nearby.

Don't worry.

Huh?

Chiropmon is looking for them.

We'll find Shakomon in no time.

You're more capable than I thought.

And you're a lot nicer than I thought.

Is that a compliment?

Of course it is.

You work hard
and send money to your family.

That's very impressive.

We're supposed to be enemies.

Why do all this for me?

You acted without asking.

That's...

I used to live in the Shangri-La Egg
until a little while ago.

What?

A lot happened and I ran away.

It was Kyo and Reina who helped me.

That's why if I ever see anyone in need
I want to help them.

I suppose I'm not
all that much help, though.

But I've got friends I can count on now.

Makoto. Found them.

Thank you, Chiropmon.

Let's go, Hotaruko!

Here!

I sense Burgamon inside.

I've brought more servings!

There!

It's Burgamon and...

What's that?

More servings!

What's that?!

A Burpmon.

Digimon with large appetites
become like that when they eat too much.

Been a while since a feast like this!

Shakomon!

Three!

Two!

One!

Supreme e-Pulse for me!

This is new.

Burpmon's e-Pulse
is flowing into Burgamon.

What?!

They have a symbiotic relationship!

So Burgamon was stealing food
to feed to Burpmon.

Chiropmon!

Here goes!

Fly!

Chiropmon Evolution!

Nightchiropmon!

Giant Rang!

Huh?!

A bone?!

More servings!

Delicious e-Pulse.

More! More! More!

Delicious Patty!

No escaping!

Nightchiropmon!

It's no good. Not with two against one.

If I can hold out
until Tomoro and Reina get here...

You need your friends to save you?

What?

There. That soft attitude.

I despise that.

Wake up, Shakomon!

W-What's going on?!

I'm sorry, Hotaruko!
I embarrassed myself as your partner!

Forget it! Make up for it
by doing your job!

Hunt them all down!

Shakomon Evolution!

Tylomon!

Delicious Patty!

Torpedo Attack!

Amazing!

Huh? Where are we?

I'll make it quick.

We're sorry! We're sorry!

Wait a minute!

They've given up!

So?!

They're bounties. We're Cleaners.

We have one job.

But deleting them...

I've had it with you!

You pity others
and you deign to lend a hand of mercy!

That sense of superiority makes me sick!

You were born with everything
and yet you strive for nothing!

You're so willing
to trust others with your life!

I won't lose to you!

The only one I trust is myself!

Torpedo Attack!

Consider my debt repaid.

I won't hold back next time.

Sorry we're late!

So? Where's the bounty?

I'm sorry. I only have
their In-Training forms.

Seriously?! Then we can't cash the bounty!

Is something wrong?

No. I'm fine.

Hotaruko?!

Makoto?

Thank you for cleaning up with me.

It's nothing.

Hotaruko was busy with work.

- OKONOMIYAKI KANUMA

- If you'll excuse me.

Makoto.

Look after Hotaruko for me.

Let me know if anything happens.

Makoto?
