Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 272 But, I
"Salvation, and the Demon King?"

Looking at Woz who solemnly spit out the name composed of these two contradictory words, Lord White Tiger nodded thoughtfully, neither saying he believed it nor saying he didn't believe it.

He looked at Woz again, changed the question and said:

"What's your purpose here?"

"I……"

Hearing this, Woz opened his mouth subconsciously before reacting.

"Eh--?"

He looked at Lord White Tiger in astonishment, and the words of praise that had already been drafted were suddenly held in his throat, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Lord White Tiger asked suspiciously:

"Why, is it convenient to say?"

[No, I'm just too surprised, I didn't expect you to change the subject right after listening to the beginning...]
Woz shook his head twitchingly at the corner of his mouth, quickly reorganized his language, raised his finger to the green tiger-shaped foreigner and said:

"The reason why I appear here is because it fled to the city where my majesty the devil lived, and then let my majesty the devil discover that Helm's forest of the underworld is invading our world..."

Seeing Woz pointing at him, the green tiger-shaped foreigner who felt provoked immediately howled in dissatisfaction.

"Roar!"

Then, it looked expectantly at the White Tiger Lord, its expression full of eagerness to try again, but it immediately wilted down after seeing the White Tiger Lord shook his head.

Woz glanced at the sullen green tiger-shaped foreigner, the corners of his mouth trembled, pretending he didn't see this scene, and continued:

"To put it simply, I came to Haim's Forest of the Underworld to investigate the reality and prepare for the coming of my Majesty the Demon King."

By the way, Wozdo explained.

"The pursuit of it is just an incidental follow-up to the previous capture mission."

"A capture mission..."

"Yes, you've seen it too. It's attitude towards me is full of desire to hunt. If it is allowed to wander around in human society, how many people will it hurt?"

Woz started to put on the eye drops with no expression on his face, and said "conclusive evidence" because...

"Roar--!!!"

Glancing at the green tiger-shaped foreigner who roared at him again because he felt the malice of being targeted, Woz shyly spread his right hand.

"Look, that's it. How can ordinary people bear it?"

"No, it's..."

Lord White Tiger frowned, raised his hand and pressed down.

The angry roar of the green tiger-shaped foreigner immediately turned into an aggrieved complaint.

The white tiger lord sighed, and put his raised hand on the head of the green tiger-shaped alien, patted it lightly, and comforted him:

"I know, you're just too hungry...they bullied you first...um, um, it's not your fault, it's not your fault..."

Seeing this, Woz twitched the corners of his mouth, and at the same time, he subconsciously raised his left hand, which he had just held but had no book, and quietly put it down.

Next to him, Jie Dou grinned, not sure if it was in pain, or he was laughing at what Woz said just now.

After confirming that there will be no conflict for the time being, Yaozi let go of the origin drive in his hand, and continued to treat the wound on his body for Wen Jiedou.

After that, Lord White Tiger looked at Woz again.

He wanted to explain that the green tiger-shaped foreigner had actually stayed by his side before, accepted his teachings, and would not take the initiative to harm humans...

The previous time was really just an accident. When it was walking, a crack suddenly appeared under its body, allowing it to fall into the human world, rather than it going there on its own initiative...

But in the end, these words were not spoken, but turned into a lot of helplessness and a "sorry".

Lord White Tiger continued:
"For the sake of it not really hurting anyone this time, please forgive it."

"Well, I will report this matter to my Majesty the Demon King, as long as you take good care of it and don't let it appear in the human world again and cause panic."

Woz accepted it as soon as it was good, and didn't hold on to this matter all the time.

After that, he told about the locator to show his sincerity.

The white tiger lord nodded, carefully perceived the situation in the green tiger-shaped foreigner's body with his mind, and then flicked it with his fingers.

Snapped!
The locator in the green tiger-shaped foreigner's body immediately turned into powder.

The corners of Woz's eyes twitched, and he immediately adjusted his stance to make himself appear a little more respectful.

Then, he took the initiative to bring the topic back.

"In addition, although the pursuit of it is only incidental, to be honest, it is really a pleasant surprise for me to meet you here!"

Where is the joy?Woz asked a question for Lord White Tiger in his heart, without waiting for Lord White Tiger to speak.

"Now, His Majesty the Demon King is looking for the missing Kuzuha Kota in Sawame City...and you are Kuzuha Kota, right?"

Woz asked emphatically.

Lord White Tiger heard the words, but did not deny anything, only silent for a moment, and confirmed Woz's guess.

"That's right, I'm Ge Ye Hong Tai."

Then, he pointed to himself and laughed at himself:
"However, I can no longer change back to a human form. Just like what you said just now, I, like it, can no longer return to human society..."

Hearing this, Woz nodded, understanding why Ge Ye Hongtai was in a "missing" state even though he was still alive.

Then, he heard Lord White Tiger ask:
"Why are you looking for me?"

Hearing this question, Woz laughed.

"Speaking of this, you have to listen carefully..."

Next, Woz told Lord White Tiger one by one clearly about "What is Time Robber?", "What is Alien Knight?" and "What is Kamen Rider Gaiwu?"

After hearing these words, Lord White Tiger fell into a long silence.

The surrounding area was also quiet, except for the green tiger-shaped foreigner who couldn't understand what Woz was talking about, whether it was Mowen Jiedou or Kou Yaozi, after listening to these words, they all fell into a long silence together.

Woz looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

What a beautiful picture... It's a pity that I won't be able to see it on my Demon King in the future...

Woz, who felt a little regretful about this, waited for a while and interrupted the silence on his own initiative.

"That's it. Do you have Kaiwu's knight watch now?"

Hearing this, Lord White Tiger returned to his senses. He looked at Woz with complicated eyes and nodded, saying:

"I have."

Woz looked happy, and said quickly:
"Then can you give it to my Majesty the Demon King?"

……

……

Ge Ye's house.

Looking at Woz who stopped talking here, Sogo Tokiwa twitched his mouth and asked:

"So, Senior Ge Ye's answer is..."
