During that afternoon a small pack of Garurumon try their luck at attacking Rinkmon and after she's finished slicing all but one apart, Mikemon leaps from your back and hits it in the back of the head knocking it out. Surprisingly, the next thing she does is stab the unconscious champion in the back of the head with a long, tubular object. The wolf-digimon shudders at that then goes wholly stiff, the life having vanished from it's body. You catch sight of a trickle of data leaving the champion's chest, likely the mon's core but... its flesh doesn't disperse.
What happens next is something you never really expected to ever hear or see... and wish you could forget. She begins to butcher the deceased feral digimon, carefully slicing the pelt apart whilst packing the transformed meat into a bag. Pit throws up onto your fur, which isn't something you blame the angel for. It's a struggle to keep your own stomach contained. Rinkmon seems nearly as horrified, though she handles it better. And by that you mean she skated far away before throwing up. At least your column manages to leave the sight behind after a few minutes of hasty plodding.
The only thing this can mean is that the hearty meals you'd been enjoying came directly from other digimon. Even if they're just ferals... the idea is still very disconcerting. With that said, the Garurumon does end up tasting rather good, even if it's soured by the rather horrifying memory. Though, Sparks and Wendimon really don't seem to care about any of this. Personally you're... conflicted about the issue. The food bring presented are doubtlessly the highest quality meals you've ever experienced and is clearly imparting power upon you. But it's made from other digimon. Pit in particular is roused by this new information, but Weddingmon manages to calm him down via words and more (digimon free) cake. She explains that there's a very strict rule that this is only to be done on *feral* digimon, and that Bulwark actually has a "mortel punishment" (i.e. death penalty) on murdering and eating mon who can talk and reason.
In the end you console yourself by reasoning that these aren't fellow freely thinking *sapient* mon. Plus you're pretty sure if they tried something like this on say... an Angemon, Pit would riot. And you'd join him.
