I may be a fake Ultraman

The Time-O World.

Both Woz from different worlds sensed that something seemed amiss.

They were all worried that the original history would be changed.

However, the problems they perceived were different.

In World A, Woz worries that if Tokiwa Sougo becomes friends with Gates and Tsukuyomi, it will cause changes to both Tokiwa Sougo and history.

In the B world, Woz felt that something was off about the "Tokiwa Sougo" in front of him. But looking at "Tokiwa Sougo's" silly grin and his intelligent appearance, he felt that nothing was wrong.

However, regardless of which world Woz is from, they all have the same goal: to guide Tokiwa Sougo to become Oma Zi-O!

……

Zi-O World, A.

Tokiwa Sougo learned about the rumors of the magician Hayase from his great-uncle Tokiwa Junichiro.

So Tokiwa Sougo, Gates, and Tsukuyomi went to watch.

After observing, they discovered that Hayase's performance was not like magic, but more like real magic.

Gates also pointed out that there was indeed a Kamen Rider in history who used magic.

If Hayase obtains the Another Rider power of that Kamen Rider, he will very likely gain control of magic as a result.

So the three of them decided to wait for Hayase at the back door on his way home from work.

Hayase didn't harm anyone; he was just using magic to perform a magic show.

Therefore, Tokiwa Sougo wanted to talk to Hayase first.

At this point, Tokiwa Sougo had already resolved to become king, but he still retained the innocence of a big boy.

Gates, however, launched a direct and indiscriminate attack on Hayase, forcing her to reveal the power of the Otherworldly Wizard.

Just as Geiz was about to attack Another Wizard, Tokiwa Sougo transformed into Zi-O and stopped Geiz.

The two men disagreed at this moment.

Tokiwa Sougo believes that Hayase did nothing wrong and should not be targeted like this; the issue should be resolved in a more peaceful way.

Gates, on the other hand, wanted to eliminate all the Other Riders and nip the danger in the bud.

This is also a way of preventing Tokiwa Sougo from acquiring the powers of other Kamen Riders and preventing him from eventually becoming Oma Zi-O.

The conflict was stopped by Tsukuyomi.

The alien wizard riders had also taken the opportunity to escape.

Gates and Tokiwa Sougo had no choice but to give up and investigate the issue of the Otherworldly Wizards in their own way.

Tsukuyomi chose to stay by Tokiwa Sougo's side.

However, this also gave the Time Jackers and Woz an opportunity.

When Gates was alone.

Swartz, one of the Time Jackers, suddenly appeared.

Swartz felt that Gates's behavior toward the Another Rider would affect their plans.

So Swartz attacked Gates, intending to use the power of time stop to push Gates off the building.

Wozniak saved Gates' life, saying it was because they were friends.

But in fact, Woz's purpose was not so simple. He wanted to use this conflict to make Tokiwa Sougo fully realize the reality—that Zi-O could not have companions and friends.

Wozniak knew perfectly well that given the differences in their views, Gates and Tokiwa Sougo would eventually clash.

At that time... any companions and elements of friendship that might affect Tokiwa Sougo will completely disappear.

Through their investigation of the theater troupe that performs magic tricks for Hayase, Tokiwa Sougo and Tsukuyomi also learn the truth about everything.

It turns out that Hayase displayed her magical abilities on December 25, 2012.

The current owner of the troupe, who was once the troupe's eldest daughter, remembers this point in time very clearly.

Because someone had proposed to her on this day.

However, at that time, the troupe's former owner, who was also the young lady's father, had just passed away.

Coupled with her reluctance to leave her father's theater troupe, the young lady did not accept her boyfriend's marriage proposal at that time. In fact, the theater troupe was already on the verge of collapse.

Because they lost their star performer, the troupe's situation deteriorated day by day, and they had almost no audience.

Despite the young lady's best efforts, she was unable to revive the troupe.

Ultimately, she had no choice but to disband the troupe. Then she and her boyfriend would start a new business in another industry.

As a result of Hayase's appearance, the theater troupe was revived... no, it was reborn from the ashes.

That's what kept the young lady going.

Thanks to Hayase's performances, the theater troupe gradually became popular.

However, the young lady has recently accepted her boyfriend's marriage proposal and plans to disband the theater troupe.

This was also the result of the young lady's careful consideration.

The troupe's success was due to Hayase's performance, but Hayase was very talented, and the young lady believed he should go to a bigger stage.

Instead of being confined to their troupe's small stage.

But without Hayase, their little theater troupe would have disbanded anyway.

The young lady had made up her mind to abandon the theater troupe and start afresh.

We also want to free Hayase from the constraints of their small theater troupe.

In the young lady's eyes, Hayase stayed in their small theater troupe entirely because of the familial bond they had formed and out of gratitude to her father.

In fact.

The truth is...

Hayase likes the young lady, but she doesn't dare to say it, has never expressed it, and is unaware that Hayase already has a boyfriend.

Then it became clear that the young lady was about to disband the troupe.

In order to save the theater troupe and help the young lady, Hayase makes a contract with the time jacker Ur and becomes an alternate priest.

Although Hayase became an Outcast Wizard, he was using magic for others for six years.

Hayase has been in love with the young lady for six years.

As for the young lady... she truly considered Hayase her best friend.

The young lady already has a boyfriend and wouldn't consider romantic relationships with other men.

Hayase never expressed his affection for her.

So the young lady was completely unaware of Hayase's unrequited love.

In this incident, none of the three parties involved were actually bad people.

The young lady had worked hard for the theater troupe, though she couldn't save it. Later, to allow Hayase to reach a bigger stage, she was willing to disband the increasingly popular troupe. She even delayed her boyfriend's marriage proposal for six years because of this.

The young lady's boyfriend was also very responsible. He stayed by her side when the theater troupe was on the verge of disbanding, even proposing to her and offering to take care of her. Later, when the troupe became successful, he was willing to help out, assisting Hayase. Even though the young lady rejected his marriage proposal for six years, he still didn't leave her.

Hayase really went all out; for love, he was willing to sign a contract with the Time Jackers.

The only problem is that Hayase doesn't have enough courage to express himself, nor does he pay much attention to the people he likes.

Otherwise, over the course of six years, anyone who had observed the troupe more closely would have noticed the relationship between the young lady and her boyfriend.

Neither of them were carrying him on their backs.

What he truly lacked was not the magic to revive the troupe, but the courage to express his feelings.

Even if the outcome doesn't change, he won't be stuck in this predicament for six years and eventually fall into obsession.

All I can say is that love is something you'll never have if you don't express it.

If you don't take the initiative, you'll become a clown!
Then, after the young lady made her decision, her boyfriend approached Hayase and told her their thoughts.

And the fact that the young lady decided to accept his marriage proposal.

Then Hayase couldn't take it anymore.

He was devastated. (End of Chapter)
