Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 445 All of this is your own choice
"..."

Facing Tokiwa Sogo's gaze, Edith's eyes widened slightly and his mouth opened, but he couldn't say anything.

How about... how?
do not know.

Edith hadn't thought about it yet.

Previously, he only thought of the scene of accusation and questioning.

And, in those scenes, he's all on the moral high ground.

He thought Shi Wang was sorry for them, so he also subconsciously felt that Shi Wang was ashamed of them.

Therefore, in his imagination, there are Shi Wang who became angry from embarrassment, angry and threatening Shi Wang, and Shi Wang who retorted with a guilty conscience, but he never thought... If Shi Wang calmly, even indifferently admitted, What should he do?
Sogo Tokiwa looked at Edith who was stunned in place with a look of confusion on his face, lowered his head and scratched You Liuxian's chin, and said: "Adenis told me that he once issued a prohibition on talking about things related to the earth. The prohibition means—abandon the past and start again.

I will not comment on it for now.

However, if you don't talk about it, you don't talk about it. As an old man who came to this world from the earth, your memory will not be lost because of this "not talking about it", right?
I saved all of you, but now you come to question whether I have harmed Adnis's wife, then, next, are you going to blame me for the origin of this crimson death disease?

Edith, you don't trust me.

Although, you also agreed with Adnis's decision to honor me as king. "

At this point, Sogo Tokiwa spread his hands, raised his head, and looked at Edith.

"Let's be honest, you didn't want to be my people from the beginning, you were afraid of being ruled by me."

Hearing this, Edith retorted subconsciously: "No, I... I really wanted to honor you as king at the beginning."

"Ah, I understand."

Tokiwa Sogo nodded.

"You think that the world that I revived is a paradise, with a rich and happy life. You have made your life better and better through the knowledge you have learned. You are afraid of losing all this, so you agreed to what Adenis wanted. The decision to recognize me as king, and you don't want me to interfere in your life, so you ignored my warning to you...

"And now, when disaster strikes, you come here and say to me——Shi Wang, did you do all this?
"Have no respect for me."

Sogo Tokiwa looked at Edith and shook his head slightly.

"You didn't take me as your king, and you didn't even want to call me 'His Majesty the King'."

Tokiwa Sogo opened it with his right hand, gestured to the report documents on the desktop, and continued.

"When you were supposed to report your work to me and discuss how to defeat the Red Death Disease more effectively, you came to ask me if I brought the Red Death Disease to you..."

Hearing this, Edith couldn't help but interrupted: "I just want to know the truth."

"That's not the truth, it's just your speculation." Tokiwa Sogo said, "In fact, it was under my leadership that the Red Death Disease epidemic was brought under control."

However, facing this fact, Edith frowned tightly.

"If the Red Death Disease is really caused by you, of course you can control it!"

This sentence was swayed by a feeling of "unconvinced" in his heart, and he blurted out.

After finishing speaking, Edith's expression froze.

He also seemed to know that this sentence was too rude, and he quickly added it, remembering what Adenis had told him before coming in.

"...I just want you to tell me the truth yourself."

However, Edith's additional explanation is better left unsaid.

Tokiwa Shogo, who had already darkened his face earlier, now had even darker eyes.

He finally rubbed You Liuxian's head, put You Liuxian on the table, got up, and walked out of the chair.

"Edith, Edith."

Across the desk, Tokiwa Sogo spread his hands and said.

"What did I do to make you disrespect me so much?"

Stepping forward, Sogo Tokiwa said as he walked towards Edith.

"If you come to me as my people today to ask me how the red death disease is formed and how to develop a cure for it, you will only get a perfect answer today, which is exactly what I have prepared. Good thing to give you."

Sogo Tokiwa walked up to Edith and looked into his eyes.

"As long as you are my people, then your enemy is also my enemy..."

Tokiwa Sogo raised his hand, raised a finger, pointed to Edith for a moment, paused, and continued.

"In this way, no matter who the enemy is or what it is, there is nothing to be afraid of."

After the words fell, Tokiwa Sogo dropped his fingers and stopped talking, but looked down at Edith, waiting for his answer.

Looking at Edith again, I don't know from which sentence he started, he no longer dared to look directly into Sogo Tokiwa's eyes.

At this time, Edith said to Sogo Tokiwa:
"...I was wrong, I shouldn't have made those assumptions that I shouldn't have..."

This is the truth.

"……sorry……"

Edith bowed deeply to Sogo Tokiwa.

"His Majesty the King of Time."

Looking at Edith who finally showed his surrender, Sogo Tokiwa was silent for a moment, raised his hand, and patted his shoulder.

"very good."

Then he turned around two steps, sat on the edge of the desk, and looked at Edith.

"Let's start reporting."

Hearing this, Edith got up, turned to Sogo Tokiwa, and respectfully began to report on his work results during this period.

After listening, Tokiwa Sogo nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, it seems that you haven't wasted all your time thinking about it these days."

Move your palm back, pick up the memory that he put on the table earlier, and move forward...

And when the memory that Sogo Tokiwa used to tease You Liuxian before was taken to him, it turned into a file bag full of research reports on the Red Death Disease.

"Nuo, with your current research progress, you should be able to understand what's in it."

"This is……?"

Facing the document bag handed over by Sogo Tokiwa, Edith bent down, took it with both hands, and asked subconsciously.

To this, Sogo Tokiwa chuckled and told Edith the answer frankly.

"This is an effective solution for the treatment of Red Death, which was researched by Igor in the future."

What Sogo Tokiwa said made Edith's eyes widen in astonishment.

"The future...Igor's plan?"

"Yes."

Sogo Tokiwa explained Edith's astonishment.

"I'm the king of time, isn't it natural that I can do this kind of thing?"

Vivian Zhuangwu said with a smile.

however……

This is a lie.

That research material, Tokiwa Shogo did not get it from the real future, but from his past history.

That's right, the memory that became the predecessor of this research material is the memory that Igor gave to Sogo Tokiwa before.

Woz once told Yamauchi Yucheng and Tsukimura Akari that it was his honor that Igor could dedicate his life to His Majesty the Demon King.

Obviously, that's what it means.

To be honest, as an active high school student, Sogo Tokiwa is still a scumbag, and his knowledge reserve itself is very limited.

It can be said that Sogo Tokiwa is definitely not as good as Edith in terms of research.

However, Sogo Tokiwa is a king, not a researcher.

If the king can do everything, and the king has done it, why do the subjects need it?

The king and his subjects should be mutually accomplished.

Tokiwa Sogo told this theory to Edith, and then came to a conclusion.

"—Edith, I need you, and you need me."

Chang Pan Zhuang Wudao.

"So, at any time, don't blame others, but try hard to find that glimmer of hope, and as long as you can find a glimmer of possibility leading to the future, then that future will surely come!
"Do you know why?"

Facing Tokiwa Shogo's encouraging eyes, Edith's eyes gradually became fiery and said:
"Because we are your people!!!"

Tokiwa Shogo smiled, and he waved his hand to indicate that Edith could take the file bag and leave.

Edith bowed and bowed respectfully.

Then, just as Edith was about to walk to the door, he suddenly heard Sogo Tokiwa's words from behind him, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, Edith, do you remember that dream you had a few years ago?"

Sogo Tokiwa sat on the edge of the table, looking at Edith who suddenly froze in front of him, and helped him wake up the memory of the past.

"That's the... dream that reminds you not to use technologies and machines that you don't fully understand."

Pause, then, a chuckle.

"If you have time, you can go to random people and ask if their answer in the dream is the same as yours."
