Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 495 Ten Years Late Reception

Hearing Sogo's response from Mirror World, Tokiwa Junichiro quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:
"Yeah~~ The way you looked just now was really, a little scary, Zhuang Wu."

Hearing this, Zhuang Wu in the mirror world pursed his lips, fell silent for a while, and said in a submissive whisper:
"……Feel sorry."

"No, no, no need to apologize, Zhuang Wu."

Faced with Sogo's apology from Mirror World, Tokiwa Junichiro quickly waved his hands.

"Uncle wasn't frightened, uncle was just, a little worried, because your expression just now made uncle couldn't help but think of you that day..."

To be precise, Junichiro Tokiwa couldn't help but think of the first time he saw Sogo Tokiwa after losing his parents ten years ago.

"So, did something bad happen?"

Mirror World Zhuang Wu: "..."

This time, he didn't answer again.

Instead, he lowered his eyes and fell completely silent.

After a while, Junichiro Tokiwa, who did not wait for the response from Sogo in the mirror world, sighed softly in his heart, and took the initiative to take a step back.

"Well, you have always been a reassuring child. Since you don't want to say it, then uncle won't ask any more questions, but..."

At this point, Tokiwa Junichiro couldn't help showing a look of anticipation on his face.

"Sometimes, uncle also wants to be relied on by you more."

Saying this, Tokiwa Junichiro secretly glanced at Sogo World of Glasses, and then, in the silence where Sogo World of Mirrors didn't respond, his expression gradually became a little awkward.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He laughed dryly, then pretended to look outside the store, and changed the subject.

"It seems that there was no earthquake. Although I don't know what happened just now, it's really great that there was no earthquake... Ah, by the way, Shuanggo, didn't you say that you would come back later today? Come back now, Did something fall into the house?"

drop something?
Hearing this, Zhuang Wu of Mirror World finally broke the silence, shook his head, and said:
"No, I didn't drop anything here."

The premise of dropping things is that there are things that can be dropped.

Unfortunately, in this family, there is nothing that belongs to Zhuangwu in the mirror world.

Because, from the very beginning, the only person who came to live in this house was Tokiwa Sogo.

Let me ask, how could he, who has never lived a nine-to-five in person, leave something here?
Therefore, when Junichiro Tokiwa said that, Shogo Mirror World couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, when Zhuang Wu of the mirror world really wanted to put this idea into action, he found that he couldn't laugh at all.

and so--

[What am I here for? ]
Zhuang Wu in the Mirror World frowned, and a daze appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, he returned to his senses.

[Ah, I remembered...]
He came, it seemed, just to see his uncle.

Take a look, this uncle invited him back then, but he never had the chance to visit, what kind of place is it.

Not through the memory of another self, but through his own eyes, his own body, to really experience it.

At this point, Zhuang Wu subconsciously said in the mirror world:
"I'll be back for dinner."

After a pause, as if he felt that his words were too blunt, Mirror World Zhuang Wu added.

"lunch."

"what?"

Hearing this, Tokiwa Junichiro was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately reacted, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

He didn't ask Mirror World Zhuangwu how the lunch prepared in the morning was, nor did he say that he and Yuedu had already eaten and he was cleaning up in the kitchen just now, but he immediately agreed to Mirror World Zhuangwu, and said that After the sentence, he kindly embraced the mirror world Zhuangwu's shoulders, and after placing him in the dining room, he turned and returned to the kitchen, and began to cook for the mirror world Zhuanggo.

In fact, normally, Junichiro Tokiwa would still ask a few more questions.

But facing the mirror world Sogo...

Although Junichiro Tokiwa didn't know exactly what happened, he also knew that the Shogo in front of him was different from the Shogo he usually knew.

Of course, this difference only refers to the difference in mental state, not to the fact that people are not the same anymore.

After all, it is a bit of a test of ordinary people's common sense to regard Mirror World Sogo and Tokiwa Sogo, who also sincerely call him uncle, as two people without knowing anything.

Therefore, what Junichiro Tokiwa thinks more now is that Zhuang Wu may have encountered something outside, which caused him to be particularly homesick for a while, so he came back home at this time. Say yes to come back... for a meal.

To be honest, Junichiro Tokiwa had envisioned such a situation and such a Shogo before he actually took Shogo to live at home.

However, he originally thought that this should happen when Zhuang Wu first came to live in his home, but it didn't really happen until today...

With this in mind, Tokiwa Junichiro looked around his kitchen, and then walked towards the flour bag.

……

……

Simultaneously.

at the counter.

With Zhuangwu in the mirror world being taken away by Junichiro Tokiwa, Tsukiyomi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

She immediately sat on the chair behind the counter, raised her hand to press her chest, felt the beating heart, couldn't help panting twice, and said in her heart——

It's too dangerous... Really, it's too dangerous!

God, she thought she was going to die just now.

Zhuang Wu, it turns out that you still have such a dangerous side! ?
Despite thinking this way, Tsukiyomi quickly cheered up, brushed his fingers over the place where the future cell phone was hidden on his body, took a deep breath, got up from the chair, and walked to the kitchen where Junichiro Tokiwa was.

At the same time, Yu let out a soliloquy as if comforting herself.

"It's okay, it's okay, uncle and I... will be fine!"

Having said that, when passing by the restaurant with Mirror World Sogo, Yueyomi's body still slowed down very honestly, carefully bypassing Mirror World Sogo far away.

Fortunately, Zhuang Wu of the Mirror World sat quietly at the dining table during this period, without even looking at Yueyue.

It looks unusually well-behaved, even, a little reserved?
Uh, how is that possible?

Thinking of this, Tsukiyomi quickly shook his head, and after approaching the kitchen door, he immediately quickened his pace and rushed in, until he got to Tokiwa Junichiro's side, he really relaxed.

Then, she secretly glanced out, and quietly asked Junichiro Tokiwa a question that she cared about since just now.

"Uncle, you just said that the current Zhuang Wu reminds you of him on that day...that 'that day', which day is it? Can you tell me?"

Tsukiyomi thought, perhaps, she could find clues to the origin of Shuanggo in the mirror world from the "that day" in Tokiwa Junichiro's mouth.

And Junichiro Tokiwa, who heard Tsukuyomi's question, froze for a moment. Then, he sighed, turned his head, looked at Tsukiyomi, thought about it, and decided to say it.

After all, Yuedu is the one who will live with Zhuang Wu in the future, so it is better for her to know more about this information.

What's more, that is not information that must be concealed.

Thinking this way, Tokiwa Junichiro asked Tsukiyomi.

"Zhuang Wu's parents... are no longer here. You should already know about this, right?"

Hearing this, Yuedu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"……Um."

Speaking of this topic, Yueyue's expression dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If possible, she didn't want to expose Sougo Tokiwa's scar at this time.

However, there is a saying that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win all battles.

Life is impermanent, and accidents always happen.

Even the devil king has irreparable regrets.

because of this.

Therefore, time will appear particularly precious.

And it is precisely because of this!
That's why Yuedu didn't want to let go of this opportunity to learn about Zhuang Wu in the mirror world.

She had a premonition that if she missed this opportunity at this time, she would regret it later.

With this in mind, Yuedu continued:

"I heard it was an unfortunate car accident."

"Yes, it was indeed a... very unfortunate car accident."

Hearing Junichiro Tokiwa's words, Tsukiyomi nodded again.

She has checked, on April 2009, 4, in the car accident that happened on that day, there were only two children who survived.

Zhuang Wu is one of them.

Tokiwa Junichiro told Yueyue.

"After receiving the notification from the police, I rushed to the hospital...Actually, there were other relatives who were notified to go there at that time, but they only watched Zhuang Wu from a distance for a while, and left after sharing the medical expenses.

"I've been watching quietly.

"At that time, Zhuang Wu's expression was indeed terrifying."

Hearing this, Yuedu couldn't help interjecting:
"Like, just like that?"

"Ah."

Tokiwa Junichiro nodded.

A child who lost his parents is indeed very pitiful, but no one wants to adopt a child who looks scary and troublesome at first glance.

In particular, that little child had a very weird dream...

Therefore, in the end, only Tokiwa Junichiro was left.

"To be honest, I don't know if I, an old man alone, can take good care of Zhuang Wu, but I really can't let Zhuang Wu go, so I just thought, let's get in touch with Zhuang Wu first.

"After contacting him, I found that he is really a very good boy.

"So, in the process of getting in touch, I couldn't help but extend an invitation to him.

"I am so happy that he is willing to come to my house.

"Until now, I have always felt that it is really great to be able to live with Zhuang Wu these years."

At this point, it is actually a digression.

However, Tsukuyomi did not interrupt Tokiwa Junichiro, but continued to quietly be a qualified listener.

Just listen to Tokiwa Junichiro continue to say:
"Of course, after living with Zhuanggo, it's not that I don't have any troubles at all, that is, facing Zhuanggo, I never know what to do is the best for him.

"Zhuang Wu's parents are gone, I am alone, I really don't know how to get along with him, and I don't know how far away from him is appropriate.

"So, these years, looking at Zhuang Wu who has always been alone, I never said anything to him.

"To be honest, I should have taught him a lesson.

"But I didn't even have the courage to show it. I'm ashamed and regret it all the time."

At this point, it seems that this topic is too heavy, Junichiro Tokiwa quickly smiled.

"Hahaha, it's strange that I regret such a thing, isn't it?"

Yuedu heard the words and immediately shook his head, saying that there was no such thing.

At the same time, she finally understood why Zhuang Wu in the mirror world respected his uncle so much.

For Zhuang Wu, who lost his parents and plunged the whole world into darkness, the appearance of his uncle was the only ray of light.

Zhuang Wu is like this.

The same is true of Zhuangwu in the mirror world at that point in time.

Seeing Tsukiyomi's reaction, Tokiwa Junichiro was taken aback for a moment, and then, the smile on his face became wider, and the eyes that looked at Yueyue became more kind and satisfied.

"Yuedu." He said, "Thank you, you can like Zhuang Wu."

……

at the same time.

in the restaurant.

Zhuang Wu, who was sitting behind the dining table, suddenly raised his eyes and looked into the kitchen.

A strange emotion flashed in his eyes.

……

Time flows.

A moment later, Zhuangwu waited patiently in the mirror world.

His lunch is finally ready.

First of all, the dish brought to Mirror World Shogo by Tsukiyomi is tempura.

Seeing that dish, Mirror World Zhuang Wu's hand hanging by his side suddenly couldn't help trembling.

Immediately afterwards, other dishes and staple foods were served on the table by Tsukiyomi and Tokiwa Junichiro respectively.

As for those dishes, Yue Duo didn't know clearly, but Zhuang Wu of Mirror World knew it.

Those are all ten years ago, Junichiro Tokiwa made an appointment with him in the hospital, and when he was discharged from the hospital, he would cook for his first meal when he came to this home.

But why do this at this time?

Thinking of this, Shogo in the mirror world couldn't help but look at Junichiro Tokiwa.

"Uncle, why..."

Junichiro Tokiwa smiled embarrassedly at Sogo's question in the mirror world.

"Actually, I don't know why I want to make this table all of a sudden. It's just that I suddenly feel that you should want to eat them more now, so... Uh, did uncle do something wrong?"

At the end of the conversation, Tokiwa Junichiro asked Sogo Kagami World nervously.

Mirror World Zhuang Wu shook his head.

"No, I'm very happy."

After the words fell, Zhuang Wu put his hands together in the mirror world.

"I'm gonna start now."

Then, he picked up the chopsticks and put a chopstick of tempura tofu in his mouth first.

With just one mouthful, Shogo shed tears under the surprised and stunned eyes of Tsukiyomi and Tokiwa Junichiro.

"Huh? Zhuang Wu!?"

In Tokiwa Junichiro's worried shout, Mirror World Shogo said loudly:
"good to eat!"

After the words fell, he went to pick up other dishes again.

And every time he finished eating, he would say the last sentence out loud——

"good to eat!"

It's really, really delicious.

It's really, really great that these dishes are as delicious as he imagined!
These dishes are even more delicious than the ones in his memory, really, that's great!
It's really, really great to be able to come here!
Seeing Sogo in the mirror world like this, Junichiro Tokiwa couldn't help sucking his sore nose.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, there are still some, even if there are no more, uncle can continue to do it for you."

Tokiwa Junichiro said.

Hearing this sentence, Shogo's movements froze in the mirror world, and then he raised his tear-stained face and showed a big smile to Junichiro Tokiwa.

"Ah."

He nodded vigorously.

But that smile always makes people feel a little sad.

Tokiwa Junichiro didn't know, but Tsukuyomi knew.

There will be no more, after losing to Zhuangwu, Zhuangwu in the mirror world will disappear.

In the future, the only person who can eat from my uncle will be Tokiwa Sogo, and there will be no Mirror World Sogo...

Thinking of this, Yuedu's expression was suddenly startled.

Wait, can't you?

But how is it possible?

She looked at Mirror World Zhuangwu in astonishment, but Mirror World Zhuangwu was enjoying the table food wholeheartedly, but he was unwilling to give Yuedu even a ray of sight at this time.

On the table.

For a moment, only Zhuangwu's admiration from the mirror world kept ringing.

"good to eat!"

……

……

at the same time.

Above the sky of St. Central Hospital.

The Time Demon machine.

Listening to the admiration from Mirror World Shogo continuously coming from the communication link, Tokiwa Sogo was silent for a moment, then put down the knight watch in his hand, and took out the lunch that his uncle had prepared for him when he came out in the morning.

"I'm gonna start now."

Sogo Tokiwa, who opened and closed his lips and finished the sentence silently, said the same after opening the lunch box and taking a bite of the meal.

"good to eat."

……

……

Nine to five.

in the restaurant.

Even if you are slow to eat, a table of dishes will always be finished.

After dinner.

Tokiwa Junichiro packed up the tableware and went to the kitchen.

But Tsukiyomi was contrary to her previous attitude towards Mirror World Zhuangwu, and stayed.

Zhuang Wu in the mirror world took a look at Yuedu, and then got up.

"Let's go out and talk."

After saying that, Zhuang Wu of Mirror World walked out of the restaurant first.

Seeing this, Yuedu hesitated a little, and finally chose to keep up with Zhuangwu in the mirror world.

Passing through the entrance and out of the store, they came to the nine-to-five hall.

But as soon as he walked out of the store, Yuedu suddenly heard a clock ringing in the void.

when!
Immediately afterwards, Yuedu found that he couldn't move.

Not only could he not move, he could not even make a sound.

A silver-white clock stood upright behind Yueyue, all the hands on the clock were still, and the positions they pointed to were exactly the time when the clock rang just now.

Every struggle of Yuedu who has the power of time will make the hands of the clock behind her vibrate.

But that's all.

Compared with Zhuangwu's power in the mirror world, Tsukiyomi, who has new strength and no past memory, is still a bit too young.

Seeing Tsukiyomi with an unbelievable expression, Shogo Mirror World sneered at her and said:
"Hey, I said, have you misunderstood something?
"Who on earth gave you the courage to think that I will give you special treatment like an uncle?

"who do you think You Are?
"Or, do you think that the little action you made was not discovered by me?

"Oh, what a stupid woman.

"Now, come and pay for your stupidity."

Saying this, Zhuang Wu of the mirror world raised his hand and slowly reached for Yuedu's neck.

"Sa, pray desperately in your heart, pray, that [me] will really give up his plan for you, and come back to save you."
