Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 370 Goodbye, Another World
Tokiwa Shogo drove the Den-Liner summoned by the Den-O knight watch, took Tsukiyomi and Gates away from this world, and went home.

However, Woz did not leave with them.

He seems to have something to do...

……

……

Afternoon, 17:15.

Returning Hisunaga Shingo to the Meiko Institute, "Jiban Sogo" just walked out of the hospital when he received a call from Tokiwa Junichiro.

"Uncle? Strange, why are you calling me at this time..."

"Shogo Tokiwa" looked down at the caller ID on the phone screen, answered the call in confusion, and asked.

"Is there a problem?"

Then, he heard a slightly hesitant voice from the handset of the mobile phone.

"Uh, well, it's actually nothing. I just want to ask, where are you... now? When will you be home?"

That was the voice of his uncle, Tokiwa Junichiro.

Hearing this question, "Shogo Tokiwa" looked back at the gate of the hospital, and while walking again, replied calmly:

"Come on, I'm heading back now."

"Oh oh oh, that's good."

"Well, why, uncle, are you in a hurry to find me?"

Hearing Junichiro Tokiwa's response as if he breathed a sigh of relief, "Shogo Tokiwa" smiled silently, and continued to ask.

However, as soon as he asked this sentence, he was stunned by Junichiro Tokiwa.

"Hiss, you brat, why is uncle so anxious to find you?
"Are you really ignorant or fake?

"Didn't the girl you invited come to the store to look for you?"

Tokiwa Junichiro's voice first became louder because of his emotions, and then quickly lowered his voice again.

"Zhuang Wu, don't blame uncle for talking about you, it's just that you invited a girl to the store and made her wait for so long... Isn't it a bit bad?"

"Jiang Pan Zhuang Wu" was immediately dumbfounded when he heard it, his head was full of question marks.

"???"

What is this all about! ?
When did he date a girl?
"Wait a minute, uncle!"

After regaining his senses, "Shogo Tokiwa" asked quickly.

"Are you sure I made the appointment?"

"Of course! That girl came to me directly after she came to the door and told me that 'Shogo Tokiwa' asked her to come here. She still holds the bento box I gave you when you first entered high school. Can there be a fake?"

Lunch Box?
Hearing this, "Shogo Tokipan" was taken aback for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Well, the truth is out...

So, did Shi Wang do this kind of thing before he left this world?

But why would he do this?

Thinking of this, a picture suddenly appeared in the mind of "Shogo Tokiwa".

The background of that picture is the dining car of the Den-Liner of a different kind that is shaking after hitting an obstacle.

Among them, Tsukuyomi, who is struggling to balance his body, is in sharp contrast to him who refuses to lend a helping hand to Tsukiyomi, but calmly protects his lunch box...

As soon as he thought of this, "Jianpan Zhuangwu" suddenly felt a headache and raised his hand to rest his forehead.

He thinks he has figured it out...

revenge!

That's right, Shi Wang is definitely taking revenge on him!

Not only that, but he had already guessed who the girl Shi Wang asked out for him was.

This world's... monthly reading?

Let me make sure... Thinking of this, "Shogo Tokiwa" pretended to be stunned and said:
"Uncle, Yuedu... When did you go to the store?"

"It arrived more than half an hour ago!"

Almost as soon as the words of "Shogo Tokiwa" fell, Junichiro Tokiwa responded.

And between the words, the emotion of "still say it's not the person you dated?" is almost overflowing.

It seems that he is quite disapproving of the matter that "the withdrawn nephew finally got the hang of it and invited a girl to play at home but tried to release her pigeons"!
So, at the end, Tokiwa Junichiro said:
"Now that you've admitted it, don't dawdle outside anymore, come back quickly! Do you understand?"

The words drop, the call hangs up.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

"Shogo Tokiwa": "..."

Listening to the busy tone coming from the handset of the mobile phone, the ice cube face of "Shogo Tokiwa" was complicated and unspeakable for a while.

Forget it, let's talk about it when we go back...

"Shogo Tokiwa" flashed this thought in his mind, but because of this incident, the images he experienced when he and Yueyue were acting together began to flash in his mind one after another.

In the end, those pictures were all fixed in the question-and-answer session between him and Yuedu about "Dream of becoming a king".

"Shogo Tokiwa" who put away his phone looked down at his palm.

Because Shi Wang didn't shield his five senses when manipulating his body to fight Tied, so until now, his body and mind still have the feeling of controlling power...

But, it was just that feeling that remained.

All the power in his body has been taken by the King of Time to continue the timeline of this world, leaving him nothing.

He became an ordinary person again, but he didn't feel dissatisfied because of it.

The future of their world should naturally be exchanged for by the people of their world.

This is a matter of course.

There is no reason to resent those who offer help because there are fewer people who take the initiative to help.

"Shogo Tokiwa" is very clear about this.

Therefore, what he thinks in his heart at this time is not the gain or loss of power.

But, now that things are going on, is he still qualified to pursue his dream of becoming a king again?

After a long silence, "Shogo Tokiwa" took a deep breath and let it out slowly, his eyes became bright and firm.

Shi Wang once told him this way - even if you give up the dream of becoming a king, you still have the capacity to become a king!

So, what is there for him to hesitate?
What about ordinary people?
Isn't the person who first created the last hope for this world the original "ordinary person" himself?
"Shogo Tokiwa" made a decision.

He is going to be king!
A king who can protect the future of his own world under any circumstances!

And in order to become such a king, the first thing he needs to do is to regain the power that he used to deal with Tid in the beginning of this world through practice.

"Tokiwa Sogo" strengthened his belief.

Then, as if admiring the faith of "Shogo Tokiwa", a ray of light suddenly condensed in his hands.

It is, knight watch of Zi-O!
"Shogo Tokiwa" looked at the Zi-O knight watch in his hand in surprise, and whispered to himself:

"This is... how could it..."

Then, the doubtful sound of "Shogo Tokiwa" was interrupted by a sudden sound of congratulations.

"Congratulations, new Demon King, the birth of this knight watch is the recognition of your will by [Time]!"

"Tokipan Sogo" followed the sound and looked up, and found that it was Woz who appeared in front of him at some time with a slightly exaggerated performance.

If he remembered correctly, in the manga of "Kamen Rider Time King", this existence named Woz claimed to be the most loyal retainer of the Demon King.

But at this time, the most loyal retainer of the Demon King is here, calling him... the new Demon King?
"Shogo Tokiwa" took a deep look at Woz, and made a sudden sound in his mouth.

"That's it, I guess I understand.

"The object of your allegiance is not a specific 'Shogo Tokiwa', but the person who holds this power...

"Is that right?"

"As you said, the new Demon King, I am indeed loyal to all the 'Devil Kings'."

Woz replied calmly, and did not feel any embarrassment or uneasiness because of the revelation of "Shogo Tokiwa".

After all the acting faded away, there wasn't even any extra emotion in his eyes.

So, "Shogo Tokiwa", who was looking into those eyes, couldn't help but ask this question.

"Are you really human?"

"of course."

To this, Woz gave a positive answer.

"Biologically speaking, I am indeed human.

"Also, you may have misunderstood me. It's not that I don't have emotions, it's just that I'm not as sensitive as ordinary people."

"For me, there is not much difference, and you don't need to explain to me..."

Speaking of this, "Sougo Tokiwa" changed his voice.

"What I'm more curious about is, does the King of Time know about this? You can expose yourself like this in front of me, but I think you've never done this in front of the King of Time, right? So, to the King of Time, the other me, How do you think about it? In other words, could it be your guilt that you have never let go of your disguise in front of the other me that drives you to take off your disguise in front of me at this time?"

Hearing this, Woz opened his mouth, but couldn't help being speechless for a while.

Is that so?

He couldn't help thinking.

how come……

Woz himself denied it.

After a moment of silence, Woz resumed his usual smile, and he picked up his mask again.

"As expected of His Majesty the Demon King, you have seen through everything."

Woz affirmed the words of "Shogo Tokiwa".

However, "Shogo Tokiwa" snorted coldly when he heard the words, and completely lost the desire to continue talking with Woz.

"Stop talking nonsense, what is your purpose in coming to see me?"

Woz smiled nonchalantly, opened the Advent Calendar in his hand, took out a contract ticket from the God of Different Demons, and handed it to "Sougo Tokiwa".

"I'm here to deliver this, the new Demon Lord."

"This is the contract ticket of the different demon god?"

"Shogo Tokiwa" raised his hand to take it, and the moment his fingers touched the contracted ticket, the ticket disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, "Shogo Tokiwa" felt that he and a certain existence were instantly established...or in other words, the link between the two parties was re-defined.

Looking at "Shogo Tokiwa" with a look of surprise on his face, Woz explained:
"It is the legacy left by the original you in this world, the source of magic power that contains the power of time, and it is the creation of both the different demon god and the phantom - Fengtaros."

Woz told "Shogo Tokiwa".

"Although my Majesty the Demon King has successfully completed the timeline continuation project of this world, it will take a long time for it to truly recover to a healthy state.

"So, it still needs a maintainer."

"Shogo Tokiwa" followed Woz's words: "I am the defender chosen by King Shi?"

"Do not."

However, Woz denied the speculation of "Shogo Tokiwa".

"To be precise, what my Majesty the Demon King chooses is you who will embark on the road of kingship again and become the new Demon King."

"I see, um, I see."

"Shogo Tokiwa" nodded.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Woz shook his head.

"Nothing."

So, "Tokiwa Sogo" said goodbye.

"In that case, then, thank the King of Time for me, and tell him that if time and space converge one day in the future, I will repay his kindness this time."

"I will tell you the truth."

Woz bowed respectfully.

And "Shogo Tokiwa" took one last look at Woz, stepped back and turned around.

Da da da--

Time stood still like a mirror as he turned around.

Then, a water-blue teleportation magic circle appeared in front of him.

[Teleport! Please! 】

"Tokiwa Sogo" stepped into it.

Immediately, the water-blue teleportation magic circle shattered like a mirror along with the static time and space.

Time flow returns to normal.

"Shogo Tokiwa" returned to the room where he was squirming.

Woz, on the other hand, didn't raise his head slowly until the flow of time returned to normal, looking at the direction of the twisting hall opened by Junichiro Tokiwa in this world, and said softly:
"Probably, I know...

"So, Yueyue and Gates are friends, and I'm just a follower."

He is answering the question "Does Shi Wang know your true face under your exaggerated performance" asked by "Tokiwa Sogo" earlier.

This answer was slightly sentimental, so it was quickly thrown away by Woz.

"Yeah, I'm not the kind of character who is sad about spring and autumn."

As he turned around, he opened the calendar of encountering demons in his hand.

When his eyes touched the newly arranged words on the Advent Calendar, Woz felt that his whole body and mind had settled down.

Sure enough, this is what I should do... Thinking of this, he also took the steps towards the Zi-O line world.

Da da da--

The phantom sound of the movement of the clock hands sounded in the void, and the light dimmed. Woz recited aloud while walking through this time-space tunnel based on darkness.

"It is recorded in this book..."
