Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

They originally went back to their hometown to reunite with their relatives, but they found that they had gone back 30 years too early, and their mother was still a little girl who didn't know anything... I don't know how others would react if they encountered this, but Aura and Ur were completely dumbfounded on the spot.

Then, their first reaction was all – “I really want to escape!”
As the power of time surged, they simultaneously unleashed the [Time Stop] spell.

This time, however, time did not stop as they wished; it simply slowed down.

Tap...tap...tap...

Immediately, a meow rang out, directly interrupting the slow passage of time and restoring everything to normal.

In the center of the prayer plaza, golden light gathered on the shoulder of the towering Time-O statue, and the tanuki statue with its hands tucked in its sleeves and eyes closed came to life. It opened its eyes, stood up, its vertical pupils narrowed, and it looked down at Aura and Ur, saying, "Where did these two brats come from, daring to cause trouble in the capital! Don't they know that this place is under the protection of Lord Yurusen?"

Proud and dignified, exuding authority.

Under His gaze, Aura and Ur were astonished to find that the once smooth and unrestrained power of time within their bodies had become somewhat sluggish.

when!
A warning bell rang out.

The square, which had just seemed somewhat empty, was instantly surrounded by guards.

Moreover, everyone is very strong!
"..."

"..."

Aura and Ur were completely dumbfounded.

And then, a deep sense of doubt suddenly arose within me.

With such a level of security... how did Swartz manage to take them away from here so quietly back then?

It's an act!
Could it be that they weren't in the capital at the time?

Swartz suddenly felt a chill run down his spine... Who was plotting against me?
He frowned, then sneered: "Hmph! It must be the Demon King! No, I need to be careful... Hmm, I should gather more information at this point in time."

Swartz, who originally intended to travel directly to 1986 through the Aurora Veil, decided to spend some more time in 2008 to take a closer look at the differences between this alternate history and the history of the Kiva Knights.

[2019]

Having finally finished his exams, Tokiwa Sougo returned to his nine-to-five job with a sense of relief.

Ding bell~~
The welcoming bell hanging on the door rang crisply.

"I'm back~~"

Tokiwa Sougo walked through the genma into the shop and found that his uncle was not there, and Gates was nowhere to be found either. Only Tsukuyomi was sitting quietly in front of the workbench behind the counter, fiddling with the various clock gears piled up on the table.

"Welcome home."

Tsukuyomi raised her head, took off her mirror, gently rubbed her eyes, and then looked at Tokiwa Sougo with a serene smile on her lips.

"But, being away from home for so long, the trip must be very interesting, right?"

She jokingly teased Tokiwa Sougo with a smile.

"Ah, that world..."

Tsukuyomi's words reminded Tokiwa Sougo of the things he did in the Amazons world, of the destiny and reincarnation of that world, of humanity and savagery, of madness and indifference.

He shook his head, then smiled and nodded.

"It wasn't very interesting at first, but after I went there, it started to become somewhat interesting."

"Really? Then tell me about it."

Tsukuyomi tapped her finger on the table once, making a soft "thump" sound like a bell. She stood up and walked out from behind the desk.

Behind him, on the workbench, the gears piled up on the table reassembled themselves, as if time had turned back, returning to their perfect and neatly arranged state.

When Tsukuyomi asked him to tell a story, Tokiwa Sougo naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Okay."

He went ahead and set up the chairs at the guest table, then took out the water cups and teapot and poured them.

Tokiwa Sougo began to recount his actions in the Amazons world. Tsukuyomi, holding her water glass, watched as Tokiwa Sougo's expression shifted with his words, from joy and anger to pity and a knowing smile, revealing a smug grin of triumph over his successful plan.

Behind the pillar, Woz leaned against the pillar, smiling as he listened to His Majesty the Demon King recount his history, while gently turning the pages of the corresponding records in the "Demon King's Descent Calendar."

As a recorder of historical development, a witness to the Demon King's growth, and the Demon King's most loyal retainer, Woz felt genuinely happy at this moment.

Ding bell~~
The welcoming bell rang again.

"Zhuang Wu? Haha, when did you get back?"

Gates returned to the 9-to-5 office from outside and saw Tokiwa Sougo, his face showing surprise and delight.

"Haha, I just got back too. I'm telling Tsukuyomi the story of the world I went to. If you want to know too, come sit down quickly. I won't tell you the story separately."

When Tokiwa Sougo saw Geiz, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then bluntly told him to come over and listen to the Demon King's teachings.

"Oh, and Woz, don't just stand behind the pillar, come and sit down with us."

As he said this, Tokiwa Sougo turned to look in Woz's direction and greeted him with a smile.

Behind the pillar, Woz paused slightly as he turned the pages of the book, then snapped it shut with a "snap," sighed, and the smile on his face widened even further.

"You are as merciful as ever, my Demon King."

He stepped out from behind the pillar and bowed to Tokiwa Sougo.

"As you wish."

Woz walked over to Tokiwa Sougo's side, picked up the teapot, and first filled the teapots for Tokiwa Sougo and Tsukuyomi. Then he sat down in the seat to Tokiwa Sougo's right, reached into the scarf hanging in front of him with his left hand, and as if by magic, took out a water cup from behind the scarf, placed it on the table, and filled his own teacup.

Before even reaching the table, Gates saw this and angrily exclaimed, "Where's my water glass?"

"Go get it yourself."

Woz replied coldly.

The double standards are blatant.

Tsukuyomi picked up her water glass, took a small sip, and smiled, her eyes curving into two shallow crescent moons.

The noise around her didn't bother her; on the contrary, it made her feel very warm and cozy.

Is this what home feels like...?

Tsukuyomi thought to herself with a light heart.

evening.

Tokiwa Junichiro returned to his 9-to-5 job after his business trip ended.

He was also very happy to see Tokiwa Sougo.

Then came the familiar吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism).

My uncle is still the same watchmaker who can fix anything and take on any job, but watch repair orders are still incredibly bleak.

"...Our family runs a watch shop, so why did they insist on having me repair pianos? I really couldn't refuse... Sigh, the customer is just too enthusiastic."

As he spoke, Tokiwa Junichiro placed the wooden box on the table, opened it, and looked at the antique clock inside with delight. Then he looked up and around the wall, seemingly wondering where he should hang the clock.

Tokiwa Sougo blinked, and almost immediately understood why his uncle had said that the customers this time were too enthusiastic.

He gifted me an antique clock... For a clockmaker who loves clocks, this is truly a very generous gesture.

However, since my uncle accepted it so readily, it proves that the piano he repaired must have been an even more precious antique, and that he must have repaired it perfectly.

Well, all I can say is, he truly lives up to his great-uncle's reputation!

[2008]

The more Swartz learned about the history of this time, the more certain he became that he must have chosen the outcast Kiva at an even earlier point in time.

It's so unusual.

Kiva has vanished without a trace, the main members of the Supreme Blue Sky Society have all been imprisoned, Keisuke Nago is wanted, and humans and vampires have formed an alliance to create a new 3WA organization... (End of Chapter)
