Chapter 209

The Potter family and the Digidestined spent quite a bit of time talking and getting to know each other better, enough time for them to actually get a feeling of how each person is and behaves, overall, most of the Potter Family members are eccentric, but loving and fun individuals, people the Digidestined soon found themselves trusting and getting a long with.

As for the Potter family, they quickly came to understand and see, that the Digidestined are a group of loyal, brave, and well-meaning girls and guys, people who quite match with the Potter household's way of living and philosophies, no doubt thak to Harry taking care of them and teaching them all sort of things.

They were also very happy to meet with people that Harry obviously cared a lot for, it was quite evident that Harry held the Digidestined in high regard, not a surprise though, since they all practically grew up together, relied on each other, and went through a lot of things while adventuring all over the Digital world.

It was no surprise that the Digidestined are a tight group, one that held Harry as their leader and the most important member of the group, if there was one thing the Potter Family knew now, is that Harry would always be there for the Digidestined and so will they for Harry.

In other words, they are family and as such, the Potter Family wasted no time in accepting them and now considers them as family, even if the Digidestined themselves had no idea, that they had just joined one of the most chaotic families in the multiverse as new members of said family.

But in the end, that didn't matter to both groups, they were all quite happy and having a lot of fun, getting to know each other, eventually, Izzy came back to the group and told the DigiDestined, that everything for the Digimon Tamers Guild was now ready.

With that news, Harry decided it was time to take the DigiDestined to go and see the place where they will be operating from now on, a trip to Neo Kyoto, so the DigiDestined would be able to witness just the sort of world they just joined.

Harry's girlfriends except, Yasaka and Serafall decided to stay back at home and prepare a little celebration, something to celebrate the fact that the DigiDestined are now members of both, the family and the Yokai Faction as a whole.

Eri, Lily, Sherry, and Himawari stayed behind, excited about the party for their new friends though Eri, Lily, and Sherry did say that they would meet everyone at the guild a bit later since they were curious about the Digimon Tamers Guild, but for now, they decided to stay and help prepare everything and make sure their aunts and mothers don't do anything too crazy.

Like letting Ereshikal cook, or something as chaotic and dangerous as that, while the Potter family prepared and began to make plans for the celebration, Harry smiled and then waved his hand to the side.

A dark corridor immediately sprouted from the ground in front of Harry, with excitement in their eyes and smiles on their faces, the DigiDestined walked into the dark corridor, followed by Harry, the corridor soon dissipate once the Dragon God stepped through, leaving the Potter family to get ready.

-----

The dark corridor sprouted in front of a building, right in the middle of Neo Kyoto, this building was a bit different from the usual modern Japanese and traditional buildings of this city, for this one was even more advanced and had a different look, than the rest of the buildings nearby.

This building was built by order of Yasaka and organized by Serafall, though, both Izzy and Tony helped with every bit of technology in the building, an all-concrete and steel building that will serve as the guild hall of the Digimon Tamers Guild.

Of course, the DigiDestined were awed at the building the moment they saw it, it might only be four stories high, but it is still a highly impressive building, though the design was not something any of the DigiDestined had seen before.

Izzy smiled and stepped forward, "Alright everyone! Welcome to our base of operations, from here we'll be organizing ourselves and the rest of the worldwide DigiDestined, this is our home in this world".

Everyone awed even more at the building after hearing Izzy's words, Yasaka smiled seeing the expressions on the DigiDestined's faces, she then stepped forward and addressed the group, "A few things before we go inside for a tour".

Everyone turned their heads towards Yasaka and gave her all of their attention, Yasaka smiled at the DigiDestined and then went on, "As all other guilds in Neo Kyoto, the Digimon Tamers Guild will be financed by both, the Yokai Faction and the Potter family.

Results and research will of course be collected by us, but don't worry, all we're going to do with it is organize and decide where it goes, whether that will be Neo Kyoto's archives, library, or the Potter household's own library, it's something that will be decided, by Izzy, Harry, and Tony.

Of course, technological advancements and other findings will be used to improve Neo Kyoto and the lives of everyone living in it".

Yasaka smiled as she explained everything to the DigiDestined, while the group was quite happy with this arrangement, they get to help themselves, the other DigiDestined from around the world, and Neo Kyoto as a whole, it was a win, win situation all around.

Serafall stepped forward and continued with the speech, "But that's not all guys, as a Neo Kyoto organization, we'll be funding you guys with anything you need, from resources, research materials, and even money.

This is a two-way deal sort of thing, scratch my back and I scratch yours! We'll also offer rewards and prizes for achievements, and even more things that will help you guys, in the long run as you continue to run the guild.

Just let us know what you need and we'll make sure you'll get it, you're also allowed all resources and knowledge from Neo Kyoto! Take advantage of this guys, higher education, training, connections, and money will be available to you!

So don't be shy, ask us for anything and we'll do everything in our power to make sure you have it, take this opportunity to further yourself on your paths to a great future, one of your own choosing!".

The DigiDestined smiled in excitement, they had already heard all of this from Harry, but hearing confirmation was good too, especially because most of the DigiDestined were looking forwards to the benefits of being part of Neo Kyoto.

Yasaka then went on, from where Serafall stopped, "You will also be paid a salary for being active members of a guild, it is a substantial amount, so do take care of your finances and save some of it as well.

Also, as active members, you don't have to always involve yourself with the guild and its doings, it's encouraged that you guys work hard, but we know that you also have other things to do.

Harry and the rest of us decided, that your education comes first, so do keep up your grades and if needed take care of all your doings before dealing with anything to do with the guild, you will still get paid a salary so use that to give yourselves some leeway".

Harry smiled as he watched his friends seem so excited now and happy to get some money, the dragon god then chuckled, while the DigiDestined began to make plans to buy things they needed, like new soccer shoes for Tai. A new guitar for Matt, a kimono for Sora or new clothes for Mimi, things like that, Harry can't wait to see their reactions to the pay a member of a guild gets, it is pretty high, since all guilds go to the Natural Dungeon and need to buy gear and other things to venture inside.

So, Neo Kyoto set up this payment for them to have a way to get the money needed to succeed, what they get in the dungeon is just a bonus, plus Neo Kyoto benefits from this as well, the city gets lots of money moving from all the transactions.

Materials and other magical objects also make it to the market or the Research and Development Guild, which leads to new discoveries and even more things to work with, this is one of the reasons Neo Kyoto is so successful as both, a supernatural faction and as a community.

Harry smiled and brought himself out of his thoughts, he then addressed his friends, "Also, we'll be doing more examinations on you guys and keeping an eye on how you develop as digital hybrids.

I will also, personally help you harness the digital energy within you, that way, we might find new ways for you guys to use it, other than Digivolving your Digimon partners of course, plus, you also will be getting stronger as well, everyone here in Neo Kyoto, has to able to defend themselves after all".

The DigiDestined nodded, Harry had explained to them, that despite Neo Kyoto being a peaceful city, they did have enemies and that at any point, these enemies might try to do something, of course, they would never be able to get into Neo Kyoto.

But they might go after a member of the city if they're outside the city, this doesn't happen often, but you never know and Harry is the type of person to be careful when it comes to his loved ones.

This is why he intends to make sure the DigiDestined can protect themselves, of course, this will also help the DigiDestined learn more about themselves as digital hybrids, something that's so new and unique, that Harry didn't know anything about it and he was very curious about it as well.

After Harry, Serafall, and Yasaka gave their speech to the DigiDestined, they then, lead them inside the building that will serve as a base for the Digimon Tamers Guild, of course, the first thing the DigiDestined noticed, was how technologically advanced the inside of the guild building is.

Everything seemed like something brought out of the Digital World, hardlight holograms created screens all over the lobby, these screens showed all kinds of information, from the current members of the guild to their Digimon partners and whether said members of the guild are active or not.

Some other data was available for viewing as well, things like the current condition of the Digital World, other Digimon data, a wild Digimon scanner, and even a list of quests handed out by Neo Kyoto or some other individual member of the Potter household, to the guild and its members.

The DigiDestined were awed at the sheer level of data and information being shown, though, at the moment, only three members of the guild were being shown, those being Harry, Izzy, and Tony Stark.

Kari looked over at the quest board and tilted her head in curiosity, "... What's this? Quests? Like in a video game?"

Harry chuckled and nodded, "Something like that, all guilds have a quest board in their guildhalls, it shows requests given to them by people of Neo Kyoto or even us, the Potter family, these requests will revolve around the general theme of the guild though".

Kari nodded and hummed a tune as she thought about what she heard, Tai nodded and seemed to understand, "I see, since this is a Digimon Tamers Guild, we'll be getting quests pertaining to things about Digimon and the Digital World".

Harry nodded, Joe looked at the quest board and then piped in, "I think I understand, for example, the Healing Temples might give us a quest having to do with healing and medicine making, either with an item found in the Digital World or a Digimon with healing capabilities, right?".

Harry smiled and nodded, Yasaka then added more information, "That's right, but quests come with rewards as well, they differ from quest to quest, some offering money, to even training, items, gear, or even a new skill, I recommend you guys check your quest board often and try to fulfill quests, they will come in handy with all your projects for the future".

The DigiDestined nodded in understanding and a bit of excitement, Serafall suddenly piped in, "Oh! But take your time guys, no pressure! The quests don't have a time limit, so you can do them at your pace.

After all, we're all supernatural beings and time is of no concern to beings like us, enjoy your guild, have fun, and discover new things, those are the priorities you should focus on, with this guild".

Everyone smiled at Serafall's words, Harry looked at her and gave her a small proud, and soft smile, this guild was solely created for the benefit of the DigiDestined, the Digital World, and the Digimon, sure, Neo Kyoto would eventually receive all sorts of benefits as well.

But at the moment, the guild's purpose is to create a safe place where the DigiDestined can gather, plan, and do their thing, without anyone getting in their way or trying to take advantage of them.

Mimi suddenly took a look at one of the quests and read it "Oh? This quest sounds fun! Let's see... it reads.

[Quest! Sparring with the Big House!

Requested by: Thalia Potter and Percy Potter.

Description: Hello DigiDestined! Pop has told us, his demi-god sons and daughters, about you guys and we can't wait to meet you, but a lot of us would like a little sparring match with your Digimon!

We always fight with Pop's Digimon and always get beaten up! So maybe we'll fare better with yours, who knows? Either way, we want to find out! So, come to the big house and spar with us! Rhaaa!.

Ps: This is Percy Jackson, please don't mind Thalia's excitement, she means well, but she really likes to fight! Either way, come to the Big House and hang out! I would like to meet more friends of my dad, Harry.]

Davis suddenly grinned and looked very excited now, "Hah! Them's fighting words! Come on guys! Let's go meet Harry's demi-gods kids and show them how powerful our Digimon are!".

Meiko fidgeted with her hands and then smile, "I want to meet more of Harry's children".

Harry raised an eyebrow when he heard Meiko suddenly whisper to herself, something about also meeting her future daughters and sons, but given how Kari, Yolei, Sora, and Mimi were now glaring at her, he decided to stay away from that bomb.

Serafall heard Meiko and giggled in amusement, she then leaned into Harry's side and then whispered, "Meiko is a dangerous one huh? It's always the quiet ones hehe".

Harry sighed and shook his head, though he did smile in amusement at Serafall, Yasaka laughed behind her hand, she also heard Meiko's statement and noticed the glares the other DigiDestined girls were giving her, she knew right then and there, that these girls were going to be fun to watch.

The male DigiDestined ignored what was happening among the girls and focused on the quest, they knew better than to get in the middle of that mess, well, all of them knew better, other than TK, who seemed to be always happy, to kick the hornet's nest.

Tai looked over at the quest and then smiled in excitement, "I kinda agree with Davis here, I want to meet Harry's demi-god children and see how our Digimon stand up against them!".

Matt nodded, "It sounds both fun and like a learning experience, at the very least, we should find out where we stand in Neo Kyoto".

Joe sighed and then scratched the back of his head, "Well, it will help us, so I can't really back out, either way, this does sound interesting, so might as well give it a try".

Izzy hummed and then took out his laptop, "This is the perfect opportunity to obtain some data on both us and supernatural beings, I have been able to scan some already, while I've been coming and going.

But this will give me an opportunity to get some data of supernatural beings in a fight, well, supernatural beings who won't break all the scans and numbers that is".

Izzy deadpanned at Harry, but the dragon god, just smirked and shrugged, Ken rubbed his chin and then added his opinion, "We'll be facing off against real demi-gods, I believe we'll have to prepare a bit".

Cody nodded, "Yes, perhaps research a bit about the mythologies their godly parents originated from".

TK crossed his arms and then spoke up, "So, should we go to the library?".

Yasaka smiled and then said, "That won't be necessary, Hermione and Tony, made sure you guys have a digital copy of Neo Kyoto's Library for your personal use, after all, you guys are new to this world.

You will need information about the factions, other races, and a ton of other subjects, so we prepared a Library Digital Plane, you can either digitize and visit it or get the information from your smartphones".

Mimi stopped glaring at Meiko and smiled, "Ooh! That sounds very useful and cool!".

Kari sighed and got her attention away from Meiko as well, who was now fidgeting in her spot, "Well, now we don't have an excuse, to not be prepared or know stuff ahead of time".

Sora sighed and nodded, "Looks like we're going to have to study, quite a bit now".

Everyone grimaced at the mention of having to study, no one really wanted to do so, except Joe, he already looked ready to hit the digital books, Yolei grinned and then said, "Come on guys, it won't be that bad and besides, it's for our own good!.

The DigiDestined groaned and complained, but they knew Yolei was right, so they really couldn't say anything against studying, Harry chuckled and shook his head, "Well, if you guys want to take on Thalia's quest, you have to click on it, you'll get information on the rewards offered and if you accept the quest, it will then be tagged as ongoing, until you complete it".

The DigiDestined turned their heads back toward the quest board and began to read the rewards offered by Percy and Thalia for this quest, suddenly the DigiDestined sputtered and took a step back in shock.

Joe shook his head and immediately pointed at the quest board, "What the hell! That's an absurd amount of money!".

Harry raised an eyebrow and then took a look, indeed, the reward had a big number, as a monetary reward for the quest, but to Harry, it wasn't something special, "What's wrong? This is chump change for anyone in Neo Kyoto,".

Everyone gaped at Harry, what the dragon god said was to absurd to the DigiDestined, they knew that Harry is filthy rich, but to think that his kids were also loaded was something that surprised everyone.

Serafalled giggled and then added her dime in, "You guys we'll be making that much money soon, I bet Thalia wanted to give you guys a head start with that reward".

No one knew what to say about that, so instead they opted to nod and just agreed, Harry laughed at the still out-of-it look, his friends now had on their faces, to think, that this was only the beginning.

-----

After the DigiDestined recovered from their shock, the reward for their first quest gave them, the DigiDestined accepted the quest and were all ready to go ahead and meet with Harry's demi-god children, however, before they could go ahead and meet up with the demi-gods.

Harry had to stop them, after all, in their excitement, the DigiDestined, forgot, that they were in the middle of getting a tour of their guild's base, so, the now embarrassed DigiDestined, were taken around the guild, so they can get familiarized with the place.

Inside the guild building, the DigiDestined first got to see around the lobby, as explained, the quest board can be found here, along with the front desk, where visitors can set up an appointment, with the guild masters or any member of the guild, along with requesting a quest or service.

After that, the DigiDestined were taken to the labs on the second floor, here, research on the DigiDestined's digital energy, Digimon, and the Digital World will be performed, though it will be mostly Izzy and Harry who would be taking care of the research aspects of the guild.

Tony also equipped it with all the most modern toys, from computers to lab tools and even some other things that the guild might need to use at one point, Izzy also took them to the server room, though only Ken and Yolei gaped and awed at the sheer size of it, along with the high-end specs.

Then, the DigiDestined were taken to the cafeteria, where, to their surprise, Eri, Lily, and Sherry were already there and eating a meal, while Susan was behind the counter with an apron on and ready to cook everyone a meal at any time.

Turns out, that Harry knew exactly, how hungry a Digimon can get, along with the appetite a tamer might get after hours of raising Digimon and going back and forth between the Digital World and the real world.

So the dragon god had something prepared beforehand, and that is, building a cafeteria in the guild, along with putting Susan in charge of cooking, he even gave her some of the recipes for Digimon he had created a long time ago.

Full meals, full of calories and all sorts of nutrients for a hungry Digimon, Susan was of course, more than happy to take care of the Digimon Tamers Guild's food needs, after all, she loves cooking and taking care of people, what better job is there for her? Other than this?

After watching for a bit, how Eri, Sherry, and Lily were enjoying their meals, the DigiDestined decided to have a bite to eat, so they all digitize their Digimon and together, along with Harry, Yasaka, and Serafall, they had a small lunch, well, small for a Digimon that is.

Soon after, the DigiDestined continued their tour, this time however, Eri, Sherry, and Lily joined the tour, curious about the Digimon Tamers Guild, after the cafeteria, Harry took them to the living quarters on the third floor, now, usually, a guildhall doesn't have rooms like these.

After all, members of a guild all live in Neo Kyoto, so, there was no need for rooms for anyone to stay over, however, the DigiDestined are a different story, they have a home and family in another world, so they can't just go back and forth all the time.

So, Harry had the guild building built with living quarters for the DigiDestined, especially because, there will be DigiDestined from around the world joining in and they will all need a place to stay and rest when in Neo Kyoto, especially if they're going to be training or dungeon diving.

After that came the final place of the tour, the guild masters' office, which is on the fourth floor, here is where Izzy, Harry, and Tony will be taking care of all the guild's needs, documentation, finances, and so on and on.

The guild masters' office is the highest floor of the building and it's a big expanded circular office with three desks and all sorts of technological advance equipment, the desk in the middle is for Harry, while the one on the left it's Izzy's, the one in the right is Tony's and he's already behind the desk working on something.

Though he looked to be focusing on whatever he was working on, Harry smiled and then walked over to his desk, he placed his smartphone on top of his desk and then sat behind it, he smiled at everyone when suddenly, all sorts of lights began to flash and fly out his smartphone.

The DigiDestined widen their eyes in awe as the room automatically expanded as Digimon of all sizes and shapes began to digitize behind Harry, Serafall giggle at Harry showing off, while Yasaka smiled finding all of this amusing.

Eri cheered seeing all sorts of Digimon grinning, smiling, or even snarling at everyone, Sherry was awed at the sight, she had known that her father has lots and lots of Digimon, but this is the first time she has seen all of them.

Lily grinned at seeing all the powerful beings in front of her, some even called out to her dragon knight blood, she certainly liked all of them as well, all of the Digimon carried a sense of respect and power, something that made Lily realize, that her godfather was never alone, that with him, there's always a big army of powerful friends ready to help at his word.

Harry closed his eyes and his Digimon let out bursts of their digital energy, he softly smiled and then opened his eyes to stare at his friends, the DigiDestined, "Well, as Guild Master of the Digimon Tamers Guild, I welcome you all, to our hall, everyone! Say hi!".

The Digimon immediately roared or yelled in cheer as the DigiDestined gaped at the sight, Serafall and Yasaka just fondly smiled at Harry, happy that he was having a ton of fun with all of this.

While Eri, Lily, and Sherry watched on as the Digimon celebrated the opening of the guild, for both DigiDestined and their Digimon partners, a place where they can gather, train, and collect things, a new home and base dedicated to everything related to the Digital World.

With this statement and show of power, a new beginning has started, one where new digital adventures will arrive in Neo Kyoto and the Yokai Faction, for the DigiDestined are here to stay, along with their Digimon partners and the Digital World.

-----

After Harry's little show, the DigiDestined were finally registered into the Digimon Tamers Guild, in fact, that was what Tony had been working on, while Harry was being dramatic again, his words actually, of course, both Eri and Nejire were also registered to the guild as members.

The Vital Bracelets and smartphones were uploaded with a security password that will allow them to use everything in the guild hall, along with being allowed to enter the guild building as well.

With that out of the way, the DigiDestined were then taken around Neo Kyoto, to finally see the sights and get to know the city they will be working in from now on, soon, Izzy will begin to contact all the other DigiDestined from around the world and informed them of the guild.

This will see the guild, have an increase in members expanding the guild registry and allowing it to be able to begin operations, there was still a lot for everyone to do and take care of.

Resources and money have to be collected, their training has to begin and a lot needs to be learned as their status as digital hybrids is still a big mystery, but for now, the DigiDestined will be spending time with Harry, his family, and in Neo Kyoto.

Though first, they have their first quest to fulfill! One that will let the DigiDestined meet with Harry's demi-god children, where a spar will take place, DigiDestined versus the demi-gods, what will happen during this battle?
