Howdy Tamers and welcome to my reading of Digimon Liberated
Debug Ex. Similar to my previous readings,
I'm not professional voice actor so the voices change line to
line or episode episode. I'm just doing the best that I
can. I recommend still heading to the
official release over on digimoncard.com if this is your
primary way of consuming the Liberator web novel.
Partially so Bandai still gets the site visits, but also
because most chapters of Liberator, like Digimon Seekers,
have art. This is, as far as I'm aware, at
least for now, the final part of the Digimon Liberator web novel.
So please enjoy, and thank you so much for listening to my
readings. I appreciate it more than you
know. And with all that out of the
way, let's continue on to Digimon Liberator Debug Ex.
Debug Ex. There is a small room with grey
tinted panels. Between the panels ran lines of
bluish green light, which eliminated the room, yet did not
light it up, leaving it still quite dim.
On the whole, the room had a small window, a white space
seeping in from outside, so bright that it further
emphasized the dimness of the room.
This is the Garden's dedicated briefing room, used by all the
members of the debugging team stationed here.
This secluded area, once used as a haven for the wild Digimon of
Lacuna, has now been repurposed as a space for the management
team, having completed its primary role.
As of now, there are three people in the briefing room.
The absence of Digimon suggests that a high level of secrecy is
required at this location. One of them is a man who wears a
white coat. He is a former Digimon Card Game
World Champion and a former professional gamer who earned
the nickname The Force of Nature for his unrivalled playing style
in all games during his prime. Zenith.
Next to him, there is a man looking at Zenith with a
disproving look on his face. He is also a well known figure
within IDEA. In fact, there is not a soul
within the organization who does not know of him.
Choto Kasima, the hero of the Noah Project.
In the green jacket and finally looking unsure of herself, a
woman stood shrinking back and waiting for someone else to
speak, clearly feeling out of place amongst her current
company. She has a dark complexion and
long black hair that reaches her shoulder blades.
Her face is beset with grey eyes, thick lips and sharp
features. She was wearing a jumpsuit that
had been modified to expose her legs.
Well then, could you introduce yourself again?
Oh, of course. Slightly stunned at the sudden
prompt from her superior, she hesitated for a moment, but then
stood up straight and responded in a loud voice.
I've gone from being an IDEA intern to a full time employee
and I've been assigned to the debugging team for Digimon
Liberator. I'm Sana S Santos, engineer in
the IDEA. Technical department Digimon
Liberator Debug EX Interlude. Don't lose.
Your temper. Keep your mind calm.
Be aware of your surroundings. And blend in with See your.
Heart, envision yourself. Calm and serene, calm and
compose, Serenity and order, generosity and sincerity.
She took a liking to these idiomatic phrases that she
picked up while studying Japanese.
Sana repeated them in her mind as if she were praying.
Perhaps sensing her nervousness, Shoujo Kazma, who was standing
next to her, also stiffened his expression awkwardly.
Don't be so nervous, both of you, Especially you, Shoto.
What happened to that swagger you showed off during the
tournament? Yeah, yeah, you can say that,
but it's been quite some time since I quit the debugging team.
It had been quite a while since he last came to the garden.
Shoto's words made Sana feel a little closer to him, and the
corner of her mouth lifted ever so slightly.
Ha, that's so funny, what are you talking about?
Oh, it's nothing. I was just appreciating a
personality. Which is exactly.
As I was told in advance by Mr. Owen.
The details of Shoto Kasma's personality were not hers to
know, but she could at least understand that if even the hard
nosed Owen dreadnought said that Shoto was trustworthy and a long
term friend, he must be quite friendly in nature.
I heard you were Owen's protege. I have to wonder at.
What sort of? Stories he's been.
Telling about me? What exactly has he been telling
you? Oh, no can do, he told me to.
Keep it quiet, aha. When she bowed her head to
Shoto, Zenith pointed at him and let out a laugh, though it
wasn't apparent what he found so humorous.
That's just like Owen. No way you should tell you that,
Shoto. I had hope.
I'm sorry, hey. It's not like you need to
apologise for that, Miss Santos. Come on, raise your hand
already. Yes, they are certainly correct
about that. It had only been a short time,
but the words of Owen you can trust him resonated with her.
Shoto Kazuma must fearlessly forge bonds with people like
this all the time. It's no wonder that he's teaming
up with Owen and Zenith. He is always in attendance at
the tournaments we hold regularly.
Within Liberator. He has been competing not only
in individual battles, but also in three on three battles,
teaming up with Xenoth and Owen. Shodo's popularity as a player
has been on the rise recently, as he has been competing in
various battles alongside world Champions and former
professional gamers. It is an honour to stand
alongside you. So I extended my right hand to
him genuinely. I'm glad to meet you.
Too, If you're Owen's disciple, I'm relieved.
Honestly, I'm honoured you're my.
Master's friend and a hero in your own right.
I should be the one thanking you, Mr. Shoto.
You can save the hero title for someone else.
It doesn't fit me and we're around the same age so there's
no need to call me. Mr. Just Shoto is fine.
Well, in that case you can call me just Sana.
Well, all right. Nice to meet you, Sana.
Yes, nice to meet you. Too, Shotto.
Shotto reached out and met her handshake.
The two avatars shook hands within a game world.
Although she could not actually feel his touch, she was certain
that his hand was full of warmth, and he was shaking her
hand firmly. Well then.
After witnessing the exchange between the two, Zenith gave a
playful wink and shrugged his shoulders.
Now that the introductions are out of the way, shall we get
down to business? Yes, please.
Thus began the briefing. Although Sana was already
informed of the meaning's contents in advance, having
shaken her hand, Shodo seemed to be hearing it for the first
time. Shodo listened to Zanus's words
intently, nodding his head in surprise, soaking in every last
word. This time, the two of us only
had one mission. We were to contact the target
Digimon and hand over the tag Dada.
Here's how it all started. A month ago, a new Digimon was
discovered in Lacuna. This alone was not unusual, but
the location where it was found was a problem.
The discovery was made in a secret area that is normally
considered impossible for Digimon to visit by themselves,
that is, in the Garden. This was the first time a lone
Digimon had ever been observed in the garden, and Sana could
remember how well the IDEA Office was abuzz when that
Digimon first appeared. The Digimon did not have the
ability to speak at this point and could not communicate, so
the debugging team had been observing the Stigmont under the
guise of probation while looking for an opportunity to make
contact. But a week ago, things changed.
Suddenly, the Digimon disappeared from the Garden.
As mentioned, the Garden systematically blocks Digimon
from coming and going by themselves, and it is essential
for Digimon to have the G Ms. permission and to be accompanied
by Tamer in order to visit the Garden.
And yet, the Digimon in question escaped from the garden without
any help. This was discovered a day before
yesterday. But the Digimon has special
ability. Let's just say that it possesses
outstanding hacking skills. Apparently, by accessing the
structure of the Internet itself, it had the ability to
move and interfere with any terminal or application.
No security can stop this Digimon.
Perhaps it was this ability that caused the Digimon to suddenly
appear in the Garden. Wait, does this mean the?
Digimon is no longer in Lacuna. No, fortunately, the worst is
behind us. A full scan of Liberators map
confirms that it is still in the game.
It has apparently been moving around a lot, disabling all
security. It is a dangerous entity,
however. Fortunately, again, it does not
seem to Weld its abilities with malicious intent.
In fact, it doesn't seem to be able to control its hacking
skills itself. Digimon is simply influenced by
information found on the Internet, causing them to
transform themselves, and that is why they are what they are.
We need to take immediate action.
I have to protect it. Well, as mentioned earlier, it
has incredible hacking skills, making capture impossible.
In that case, the best way to do this is to make sure that we
know exactly where it is located for the Digimon's sake as well.
And that is why Shadow Kasma was chosen for the task.
No, I'm not satisfied with the explanation.
I'm not on the debugging team anymore.
I'm worried about. The.
Digimon and all, but shouldn't you ask one of the current
debuggers to do that for you? Don't talk nonsense, Shoto, my
friend. Who?
We're friends, aren't we? Normally it would be awkward for
regular players to cooperate, I DEA being involved and all.
It was at this point that Sana decided to interject.
She felt it necessary to correctly convey to Shoto the
nature of the problem that had arisen in Lacuna.
Actually, the other debuggers are currently tied up with
another. Matter.
Another matter. Yes, around the time the Digimon
in question escaped from the garden.
Certain. Shadowy objects began.
Appearing around the. Kerner These objects are closer
to a haze than a shadow, but the debuggers have all taken to
calling them shadows. At this point.
The shadows are sparse but mostly human sized, about 150 to
200 centimetres in length, and when players approach them, they
have been observed to pass through the body of the
approaching person and dissipate.
It has been confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the avatar
after it was passed through. Yao's investigation of the
source code has also confirmed that it is not an Easter egg
planted by the developers. Which?
Would mean that one of the new Digimon did it.
We can't say that for certain, at any rate.
These shadows cannot. Speak.
Nor do. They have substance.
Since we have not been able. To observe it.
With any instruments other than visual perception by Avatars and
Digimon, it is natural to assume.
That it is different entity from a Digimon.
The fact that it is harmless at the moment makes it the
consensus of the management that it is a bug in Digimon liberated
system rather than lacuna, mysterious Digimon and shadowy
entities. Things are getting ominous
again. So you do get it.
I believe this sort of thing is your specialty.
Show to Kasima the hero. Don't tell me what my specialty
is. I'm not a hero, and I'm not as
good as people think I am. Do you have any idea how few
people can keep up with someone like me or Owen?
If you downplay your abilities too much, I think it comes
across as ironic. Oh please.
Zenith cut the conversation short, despite Shoto's rather
displeased look. You saved Lacuna once, and the
higher ups have already agreed to give you temporary debugger
privileges. And you'll have a chaperone to
make sure you don't abuse your authority.
You don't need to worry about the company's reputation.
Isn't that asking a bit much of Sana?
Oh, don't worry about me. It's rather an honour to see up
close what kind of person Mr. Owen's friend is.
Now I'm even more nervous. There's no point looking for
excuses. If you're good to go, please
head to the location at once. Once you are there, I'll be
clocking out. I'm looking forward to the prep
session for the next tournament. Yeah, I'm good.
Well then, Sana, care to be my chaperone?
Of course. Seemingly having made-up his
mind, Shadow opened the exit portal to the briefing room.
A sound effect as a circle of light appeared under mine and
Shoto's feet. It was at that moment where
Zenith chimed in. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you one
thing. He called that the Shoto as the
portal opened. Gemmon.
That's the name of the Digimon you were going to be searching
for, so remember it. Deep within the ruins of the
Amber remains the timeless domain surrounded by the rough
stone walls and furnishings. The space was illuminated by
several lights that were housed in stone pillars.
Although this is usually a busy area that players must visit to
progress the main scenario of Digital Liberator, there are
currently no players other than Shoto and Sana here.
The dungeon had been sealed off since yesterday under the guise
of system maintenance at Sana's request.
Is that Gemon? The target was easily found.
It had a white body with grey hair covering the neck and tail.
It was a cute looking little Digimon with jewels scattered
all over its body, including in its forehead.
Throwing this blank card will complete the sharing of.
Location information. Good work, Shadow.
If it was going to be this easy, there was no reason for me to
show up. Oh, wait.
Shadow's eyes darted while Sana reacted a moment later.
What their gazes meant was indeed Gemon.
But Gemon was not alone. Three No 4 objects were
standing, surrounding the Digimon that was their target.
These were the very same problems that Sana had told
Shoto about earlier. The shadows were gathered in a
pack. This is the first time multiple
shadows have been confirmed. Be careful.
Shoto, what are you doing? Please stay calm.
She couldn't help but emphasize her words.
He deployed his D storage without hesitation as soon as he
saw the shadows. I'm perfectly calm, Sana.
It's definitely not normal for a buggy object to surround a
Digimon. We can't leave it alone.
Listen to me, it's not an opponent you can beat in a.
Card battle. Even so, now that the toxin has
gone from. Lacuna Sana.
Use your blank card and put the mission first.
Showed his D storage that up intensely, as if to say that he
wouldn't be dissuaded. But this appears to be an
emergency situation, and any delaying decision could be
fatal. Gemon's expression also showed a
hint of uneasiness. It is obvious that the shadows
are uninvited. Guests understood.
We'll. Move to protect Gemon as our
top. Priority.
I'm glad. Just quick to catch on.
You really are a disciple now. Jodo quickly slid his finger on
the digital console of his D storage.
You've heard everything, give me your strength.
A moment later, a Digimon appeared from shadows D storage,
saying affirmative. A bird dragon Digimon with red
horns, a Milky white mask, and green feathers.
Pteramon. It's been a long time.
Since you've gotten into trouble Shadow, you're right, but after
I worked so hard with Unchained to protect Lacuna, to protect
all Digimon, I can't. Leave it alone.
That's right. Well then.
Hold on, Gemon, Pteramon and Shadow's voices synchronised in
perfect unison, as if they'd said those words over and over
again. We're here to help you.
They will return in the next act.
And that is it for Digimon Liberator Debug, at least as far
as I'm aware. I don't think they're going to
do any more novel updates, but if they do, of course, I'll be
doing readings of them. I'm assuming that in the next
act they're talking about the Elysian story because Elysian is
coming out this year and it does have Gem on as kind of like the
mascot for it. And it does take place in the
same universe as Digimon Liberator.
So definitely looking forward to that.
I'll be covering it on the channel, of course.
So thank you so much for listening.
I really do appreciate it, especially if you've listened to
every single one of these. The view.
Count isn't super high, but it's high enough and I know that
people do appreciate it that I've really, really enjoyed
everyone listening in and kind of experiencing the web novel
together. So thank you so much.
