No sooner had Shiko finished speaking than, in the very next second, one of the Digimon in the middle of the area was wrapped in an invisible force.
Then it slowly floated over in front of Himeko.
That Digimon stared at Himeko with its big eyes.
Its adorable appearance honestly melted Himeko's heart on the spot.
"This one is called Tanemon."
"It's a very good Digimon."
Shiko gave a simple introduction.
Tanemon?
Himeko silently repeated the name in her heart.
Looking at Tanemon's appearance, she had to admit that it really did suit its name.
The next second, Himeko reached out and hugged Tanemon in her arms.
Tanemon let out soft, babbling cries.
It rubbed against Himeko in her embrace.
It was obvious that Tanemon was also quite satisfied with this human.
Shiko looked at the intimate way the two of them were getting along and nodded.
Good.
Himeko really was born with a heroine's luck.
No wonder Tanemon was so close to her.
"As for you, I'll help optimize you a little."
As soon as Shiko finished speaking, before Himeko could even react, she felt her body grow warm.
Immediately afterward, her eyes began to feel slightly sore and swollen.
The next second, it was as though a white light flickered before her eyes.
At first, it was a white cluster of light.
But very soon, that light turned into a sheet of white mist.
It completely covered her vision.
Within that mist, she could vaguely sense a power nourishing her eyes.
Very soon, after that power disappeared, the white light slowly began to withdraw.
Her vision quickly became clear again.
Himeko was stunned.
Her gaze turned toward the Digimon in the area.
The next second, she activated her ability.
Golden light flickered in her eyes.
A semi-transparent blue data panel abruptly appeared in front of her.

[Introduction: Its entire body is covered in long, soft, hair-like growths. After hatching from a Digi-Egg, it drifts like a dandelion seed in search of an environment suited to its growth.

However, its large crimson eyes possess enough charm to sway another's emotions. It is a universally beloved Digimon.

[Moves: Tackle, Seed Cracker]
[Introduction: A seed-shaped Digimon whose body surface is covered in transparent tissue. It is said to be a variant of Botamon, so it is not only a plant-species Digimon, but also hides the possibility of Digivolving into Dragon-species Digimon and others. It has a gentle personality, but also a timid side. It has no offensive power of its own, so when it encounters danger, it fires seeds, then swiftly escapes while the opponent is startled.]
After sweeping her gaze over them all, Himeko stood there in a daze for a long time.
Looking at these data sheets, whose format was familiar but whose contents were completely foreign, she felt as though her entire worldview had collapsed, only to be rebuilt all over again.
