That evening and night you do your best to work on the very first spell Sorcerymon gave you, trying to commit the first set of lines to memory before focusing on saying them in sequence. Of course, just as your magical mentor had warned in the past week, actually using a spell is difficult. Trying to read and fully understand the champions explanations within the book as to how the spell itself works proves to be vexing. It's some complicated thing about using the casters internal energy to encourage natural regeneration of the target digimons own source code. By the time you finish off the night your head is positively spinning from trying to get everything. Beyond that there's another problem. You end up having a bit of trouble actually vocalizing the constant stream of numbers with what seem like random pauses, which is only made worse by the occasional stutter that means you have to start all over again.
Much to your gratitude, the next night leaves you with no dream of any sort. Instead it is just a pleasant, completely and utterly dreamless slumber. The next day your morning is once again taken up by another round of chores from Gramps, but then when you're done something particularly odd happens.
After stocking up the village's supply of cooking firewood, you'd expected a few minutes rest before anything else. However that is proven not to be the case as Lunamon hops her way over to your position and then, grabs you by the paw. Before you can so much as question what's going on, the small digimon then starts dragging you towards your shared hut. Here she proves to be stronger than you'd ever previously estimated, as the *Dragging* is entirely literal. She's moving you, a rookie at least several times her weight, even if it's a clear strain.
Of course, you're still actually stronger than her and all it takes is a single tug in the opposite direction to halt her progress. Now that you're actively resisting she can't so much as budge you from your position.
"L-lunamon. What's this about?"
"It's..." She brings down her voice to a whisper.
"A secret"
"A-a secret?"
"Yepyep! Now shhh big brother" Lunamon replies frantically looking around the village. Thankfully(?) no one else there seems to have noticed what's happened as Gramps, Flamemon and Sparks are out while Fu is busy tending to the fields. Hesitantly you go along with her, morbidly curious as to just what this *Secret* could be.
So with a nervous gulp, you follow her inside and get ready to face whatever revelation she has in store for you. Lunamon hurries you over to sit on the bed, then after you're comfortable takes a few steps back to stand in the center of the hut.
"W-well. Here goes Onii-Chan" Your ward nervously mumbles before taking a deep breath.
A moment later she breaks out into a sudden smiles, then spins around starts singing in some weird language.
"Aitai na ae-aenai na setsunai na... Kono kimochi!" Lunamon stumbles a bit over the first sentence, and seems to have some trouble keeping her balance with all of her odd dancing motions, but as the song continues she seems to get more comfortable, singing whatever that is without more mistakes.
"Ienai no iitai no CHANSU nogashite bakari"
I.. What does any of this mean?
Despite your reservations about this entire affair, Lunamons voice is fairly pleasant to listen to (at least you think so anyways) and her odd spinning bending, and thrusting out her arms is cute in a way. Unfortunately disaster strikes as she gets to what sounds like the very last line.
"Tonde tonde tonde-" She tries to flip backward mid-sentence... but ends up just crashing back down directly onto her face. Quickly you step over and try to help Lunamon back to her, only to be surprised as you see her eyes are filled with water and she's on the verge of tears.
"D-d-did you like it?"
"Umm... Yeah! I-I did Lunamon it was..." You think hard on what Flamemon would say in this situation. "Aw-awesome!" An instant late the tear-filled eyes dry up and Lunamon hops up in victory.
"Yaaay!" She thrusts a hand up into the air in victory and smiles at you bouncing giddily up and down. "I saw that stuff on the Teevee and it sounded cool and I practiced and I think it'd be cool for the festival and..." The hyperactive mon freezes in place and winces.
"But-but I don't know if Gramps will let me. "
I-I don't see why he wouldn't... Maybe? Actually do I know much about the festival at all?
"
So big brother can... Can you maybe watch me practice? Just for a bit each day pleeeeease? Then maybehelpmetalktoGrampsaboutit?"
=== (Choose One)
[] Yes, you'll agree to help Lunamon by watching her practice and eventually talking to Gramps about her performing in the festival.
[] No, you'll decide to opt out of this one. While you like Lunmaon quite a bit, you're not sure how this might go over with Gramps, thus it might be better if she dropped things here.
=== Skill Changes:
Basic High Programming: 4/100->5/100
Verge is 1/6th (He thinks) of the way to figuring out the first spell.

Authors Note: No beta tonight. Ended up folding the update in half, since I don't think I could get the second part done by the end of tonight anyway. Hmm. I'll see if I have time tomorrow morning to get the other part out. It has something to do with Auger!
Beta-er's Note: Lies and Slander I did my work.
(Authors Clarification. @no wasn't able to help tonight so the illustrious @Rathous helped instead. Thank you very much for you help)
