Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 482 Cover
[Before he does something irreparable, personally...stop him! 】

These words suddenly set off a huge wave in Gates' heart, which made his mind stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses.

On the one hand, this is because Kido Shinji's words hit a thing he has been thinking about recently;

On the other hand, because...

"Mr. Kido..."

"Ok?"

"You suddenly become so reliable, I'm not used to it."

Kido Shinji: "..."

Afterwards, he said angrily, "I'm so sorry for being an idiot!"

"Uh……"

After realizing what exactly he said just now, Gates couldn't help showing an embarrassing expression on his face.

"Sorry, Mr. Kido, I just said that..."

However, as soon as Gates explained, Shinji Kido raised his hand to stop him.

"Stop, Gates, don't talk anymore, let this topic stop here."

He no longer wanted to be stabbed in the heart any longer.

It hurts, okay!
Seeing this, the expression on Gates' face became even more embarrassing.

"……Um."

He nodded, and then thought with a little heartache.

I wasn't like this before...

It's all the time king's fault!
Gates felt that if Tokiwa Sogo hadn't been so angry with him, how could he have blurted out such a sentence just now under Shi Wang's ears and eyes?

impossible.

Absolutely impossible!
and so……

I was really polluted by the King of Time.

At this point, Gates couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Then, there was a long silence.

Neither Kido Shinji nor Gates suggested that they immediately open the door in front of them.

because……

If Gates' speculation and Kido Shinji's premonition are correct, then, now, the ward in front of them is no longer a place where old friends gather, but a mirror monster's... lair!
In other words, once that door is opened, they may be completely exposed at any time.

And once they are completely exposed, the "invisible" protection on them will be converted into "powerful mockery" for a period of time.

At that time, as time goes by, they are afraid that they will become enemies of all the mirror monsters in the entire city.

Then, if all goes well, they will have another encounter with Mirror World Sogo.

As soon as they thought this, the words of Sogo Tokiwa suddenly began to sound in their minds.

[He is very strong!Even, in a sense, he is stronger than me! 】

That was the evaluation of Tokiwa Sogo to Mirror World Sogo during the discussion last night.

[Although he did not inherit the power of many knights like me, his development of his own power of time is half a stage ahead of me...at least! 】

Because of this, the safest way for Tokiwa Shogo to leave the current time and space without leaving any traces and go to the mirror world where Shuanggo can't see at all, is to ask someone to help him cover, or even, At the critical moment, block the mirror world Zhuangwu who discovered the abnormality.

In other words, Tokiwa Sogo will use them as bait to attract the attention of Sogo from the mirror world.

This is undoubtedly a very dangerous task.

[At that time, you may die! 】

That's why Tokiwa Sogo was so worried about Kido Shinji and Gates before.

[Even so, do you want to help me? 】

Thinking of this, Kido Shinji and Gates also remembered their answers at that time.

【Ah, our future is in your hands! 】

Thinking of this, Kido Shinji and Gates looked at each other, with a smile on their lips.

"Mr. Kido, are you nervous?" Gates asked with a smile.

"Isn't it natural? Aren't you nervous?" Kido Shinji replied angrily.

"makes sense."

Taking a deep breath, Gates raised his hand and grabbed the doorknob of Eri Akiyama's ward.

"Are you ready?"

After saying that, he took out the space-time drive with his other hand and buckled it around his waist.

"Well, open the door!"

Shinji Kido also took out the Dragon Knight's card case and held it tightly.

Then, with Shinji Kido's tense expression on his face, Gates turned the doorknob with his palm.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the sound of a door lock being unlocked, Gates pushed open the door of Eri Akiyama's room.

They looked nervously into the door.

but……

The expected flurry of demons did not happen.

Whether it is window glass or other, there is no shadow of the mirror monster reflected.

All was peaceful, as they had seen from the observation window earlier.

Peaceful and quiet.

The sun shines through the window with the curtains drawn, and over the water bottle with flowers on the table, spilling into the house.

If you look carefully, there are fine flying dust dancing in the light.

On the pure white hospital bed bathed in this beam of light, Akiyama Eri fell asleep quietly with a peaceful expression, as if she was having a good dream.

Next to it, the electrocardiogram emits a regular "beep" sound, and the curve representing the healthy heartbeat continues to extend to the future on the display.

And such an ordinary ward is nothing in normal times, but its ordinaryness is extremely abnormal in today's world where mirror monsters are raging.

Therefore, Shinji Kido and Gates did not relax their vigilance, but looked at each other and walked in cautiously.

It's just that the moment Gates crossed the door, a very strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

It was as if something was calling him.

Following that call, Gates suddenly looked at Eri Akiyama.

He hesitated for a moment, walked to Akiyama Eri's side, apologized to her in a low voice, and gently lifted the thin white quilt covering her body.

Immediately, Gates' pupils shrank instantly.

I saw Eri Akiyama holding a... knight watch in the hand placed beside him!
Knight watch for night riding!
……

……

outside the hospital.

Time moves forward a little bit.

"...Do you think the person who acted with Kido is a good person?"

Facing this question asked by Tezuka Umiyuki, Akiyama Ren was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Tezuka Umiyuki said when he persuaded him to leave his wife's ward.

【If you can trust me, I have a suggestion...】

【Lian, please tell me the truth, do you have a watch like the one used by the devil? 】

【Leave it to Eri, so Eri will be saved no matter what. 】

Those words were spliced ​​together with Tezuka Umiyuki's question at this time, making Akiyama Ren suddenly understand.

"So, you asked me to keep that watch because...for him?"

"Do not."

Hearing this, Tezuka Umiyuki looked at Akiyama Ren very seriously and corrected him.

"The reason I asked you to keep that watch is to make it a talisman for Eri, not to let it be snatched away."

Listening to Tezuka Umiyuki's deliberately accentuated tone on the word "snatch away", Ren Akiyama fell silent and frowned deeply.

"This kind of tricky statement... Do you think the devil will believe it?"

"He will believe it."

Saying this, Tezuka Umiyuki tossed a coin, watched the light reflected from the coin flipping in the air, and said in a low voice.

"I'll make him believe it."
