Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

In front of Tokiwa House.

"drop--"

Sensing that Kagami Sogo was not at home, Tokiwa Sogo rang the doorbell under Tsukiyomi's slightly nervous and apprehensive gaze.

Not long after, there was a sound from the horn under the doorbell.

"Hello."

It was a soft female voice asking.

"Excuse me, are you..."

Hearing this, even though he felt that he was ready, Tokiwa Sogo couldn't help but tense for a moment, feeling much more tense than Tsukiyomi.

Near nostalgia timid.

Nothing more than that.

Tokiwa Sogo took a deep breath, cheering himself up, holding Tsukiyomi's hand tighter and tighter.

Monthly read back, give encouragement and support silently.

Then, Sogo Tokiwa spoke slowly:
"...Mom, I'm back."

As soon as the words fell, before Sogo Tokiwa could explain anything, a very pleasantly surprised voice suddenly sounded.

"Zhuang Wu!?"

The electronic lock of the gate was unlocked, the door of the house opened, and a figure ran out from the door, glanced at Sogo Tokiwa outside the gate, and then ran to Sogo Tokiwa with great excitement.

That figure is none other than Sogo Tokiwa's mother, Mie Tokiwa.

Surprised, delighted, excited...

Judging by the expression on her face, it doesn't look like she is welcoming her son who has been away for a short time to come home, but like... from the very beginning, she knew that she not only has Jing Zhuangwu's son, but also a son who went to another world... …

As soon as he thought of this, Tokiwa Sogo suddenly showed a look of astonishment uncontrollably on his face.

Originally thinking about whether his sudden behavior would give Kagami Sogo a "surprise", Tokiwa Sogo couldn't help shouting in his heart:
What have you done in this world?another me!

But his face was tense, trying not to let the frantic emotions in his heart float to the surface.

"...Well, it's me."

Reining in his astonishment and smiling, Tokiwa Sogo, who didn't know how Jing Sogo explained his existence to his parents, responded calmly.

"I am back."

"Okay, okay, it's good to be back... It's good to be back."

Mie Tokiwa smiled again and again, looked at Sogo Tokiwa carefully, thinking in her heart, lost weight, lost weight...

It was only then that she found Tsukiyomi next to Sogo Tokiwa and saw their tightly holding hands.

"Who is this……"

Looking at Tsukiyomi, Tokiwana Mie blinked, and then an expression of "mother-in-law looks at daughter-in-law" slowly appeared on her face.

And Tokiwa Sogo also lived up to his mother's expectations, and solemnly responded to his mother's expectations.

"This is Yueyue, my girlfriend."

Following Tokiwa Sogo's words, Tsukiyomi said hello to Tokiwa Namie.

"Hi Auntie, I'm Yuedu."

Whether it is etiquette or demeanor, there is nothing wrong with it.

Elegant without being squeamish.

It made Namie Tokiwan more and more satisfied as she watched it, and she praised it again and again.

"Good girl, good girl."

With an expression of "my brat is promising".

Then greet Tokiwa Sogo and Tsukiyomi:
"Okay, come into the house with me, don't stand in the snow."

Saying this, Mie Tokiwa led Sogo Tokiwa and Tsukiyomi through the courtyard and walked into the house. …

Just after taking two steps, Mie Tokiwa stopped, as if she suddenly remembered something special, she suddenly turned around and asked Sogo Tokiwa and Tsukiyomi.

"Wait, could it be that the two guests that Jing said will come to the house today are you?"

But in this regard, Tokiwa Sogo and Yueyue looked at each other, and both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

"mirror?"

Who is the mirror?
Thinking of this, Tokiwa Sogo's mouth suddenly twitched, and an unbelievable thought suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

No way……

However, the fact is that "won't it".

As soon as they entered the house, through the entrance, Tokiwa Sogo and Tsukiyomi saw the mirror who looked exactly like Tokiwa Sogo——King Sogo!

Yuedu quietly asked Chang Pan Zhuang Wu: "What's going on? Zhuang Wu, didn't you say that you sensed that he is not at home now?"

Tokiwa Shogo was confused and entangled: "Yeah... even now, he has stood in front of me, and with his eyes closed, in my perception, he is still not at home."

The only explanation is that Jing Zhuangwu has become stronger again.

Not in terms of combat power, but in terms of realm.

After all, energy will be consumed, but the realm will not drop.

Just like knowledge, once you comprehend it, you comprehend it, and it will not disappear due to the decline of physical strength.

Therefore, it is very likely that while Sogo Tokiwa uses his own royal way and all the history of knights as his half body, complements himself, and walks out of his own path...

Jing Zhuangwu also walked out of his own path.

After he created this complete mirror world from scratch, and walked through life again.

Sensing Tokiwa Sogo's gradual understanding and dull gaze, Jing Sogo raised the corner of his mouth, and was about to show a sneer, when he saw his mother looking at him, so the sneer turned into a smile, and the sarcasm turned into a welcome.

"Since you're here, go wash your hands and come eat...I'll wait for you."

Very good, no need to ask anything.

Jing Zhuangwu had already expected Tokiwa Sogo and Yueduhui to come, and he had already greeted his parents in advance.

It's just not stated.

Hateful decade!

This is a long time ago to get angry with Jing Zhuangwu.

Tokiwa Soogo was annoyed, and then fell into deep thought, and if he got something, he suddenly realized.

This is a good thing.

Since Jing Zhuangwu had already predicted everything, wouldn't it just mean that he and Yuedu...

Have no worries at all?

That being the case, what are they waiting for?
Hurry up and go to the table.

Tokiwa Sogo completely let go.

The joyful atmosphere at home heats up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tokiwa Namie picks vegetables for Yuedu.

Tokiwa Sotaro picks up food for Tsukiyomi.

Even Jing Zhuangwu gave Yuedu some food.

Tokiwa Sogo, who no one cares about: "???"

Wait, is there something wrong with my family status?

It wasn't until Yuedu gave Tokiwa Sogo a quick snack that Tokiwa Sogo became happy again.

It's just that the happy time is always short.

Yes, how long can a meal last?
Jing Zhuangwu chose to stop here.

But Sogo Tokiwa chose to shoulder his responsibilities and continue to move forward with the kingly way. …

Therefore, even if you don't want to, the time for parting will still come as scheduled.

My father said "Treasure" and "Come on".

My mother told me to "go home often and have a look".

Jing Zhuangwu stood up and put on his windbreaker.

"I'll send it to you."

"Ah."

Tokiwa Sogo nodded and did not refuse.

But the three of them went out and walked all the way, but they were silent all the way.

There are only three rows of footprints stretching forward on the silver-clad street.

Until a certain moment, one of the footprints stopped.

Immediately, the other two lines of footprints also stopped in front of them.

Tokiwa Sogo turned around and looked at Jing Sogo quietly.

After a while, Jing Zhuangwu finally spoke slowly:
"Remember what I told you once?"

An illusory, connecting line emerges between Tokiwa Sogo and Kagami Sogo.

"I am your...Sword of Damocles..."

In the center of the line, the important node of the connection, is a magenta knight watch—decade knight watch.

"When you lose your kingly way, it will be me who will regain your freedom and come to the throne again."

The decade knight watch disappeared, replaced by a white and black interlaced knight watch——zi-o2 knight watch.

Therefore,
Whether it is the most benevolent king,
Or a vicious demon king,
you must,

Be the king you really want to be.

This sentence flowed in Jing Zhuangwu's heart, but he never said it out of his mouth.

And the connecting line between them started from both ends, and gradually lit up with golden light.

The golden light spread to the central node, turning the entire line into a golden line.

Then, the zi-o2 knight watch as the central node represents the silhouettes of the knight heads on the two sides of the [surface] and [inside] respectively, all of which are re-outlined by golden lines.

Jing Zhuangwu's words remain the same.

So, what about Tokiwa Sogo?

Tokiwa Sogo's answer has not changed.

"—don't even think about it!"

Having said that, but this time, after speaking, Tokiwa Sogo couldn't help but smile on his face, and he understood Jing Sogo's true intentions.

and so……

There won't be such a day.

because,

I will eventually be king!

"Goodbye."

After the words fell, Tokiwa Sogo turned around and strode away with a clear mind.

Tsukiyomi Shogo leaned slightly to the mirror, said goodbye, turned around, and left with Tokiwa Sogo.

Watching the backs of Tokiwa Sogo and Tsukiyomi drifting away in front of them until they left this world, Jing Sogo looked away and looked up to the sky, and then he couldn't help being stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and sighed in a low voice:

"It turns out... the sky has cleared up."

Smiling, Jing Zhuangwu turned around, bathed in the night after the snow stopped, and set foot on the way home.

Keep moving forward...

……

real world.

In front of the photo studio without lights on, a figure with a magenta camera hanging on his chest stopped.

He raised his hand and pressed on the door.
