Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

[2019]

"...This book records that the Other Rider Kiva has appeared."

Just two days after Tokiwa Sougo returned to this world, Woz brought the news that "a new Another Rider has appeared."

Ah, as diligent as ever, Swartz.

Fortunately, I, the Demon King, am not lazy.

Meeting!
……

……

After a routine meeting where they exchanged information and formulated a plan, Tokiwa Sougo and his group proceeded smoothly and with clear objectives.

Everyone is already quite experienced with this.

In short, there are two main things to do to resolve the Kiva incident.

First: Find the outlier, Kiva.

Second: Find Kiva.

For the Demon King's team, who already know all the history of the Riders, finding the Another Rider is obviously more difficult than finding the Other Rider.

This requires comparing the differences between the current Another History and the history of the Knights to find the points of divergence between the two, and then identifying the suspects of Another Kiva.

Therefore, they need to find some historical figures involved to understand the situation.

According to the records in the "Om Manta Style Calendar":
In Kiva's knight history, the main characters have two fixed spawn locations.

One is a café that occupied a significant portion of the market in both 1986 and 2008—Café mald'amour;

The other one is the home of Akane and Wataru.

Aside from Woz, who was free to act on his own, Gates took on the task of gathering information from the coffee shop owner.

Tokiwa Sougo is preparing to go to the Red Family to find Wataru, the healer of the legendary knight Kiva.

Finally, all the intelligence they obtain will be reported to Tsukuyomi first, who will then conduct an initial overall assessment and comparison.

……

……

Café mald'amour.

Just standing outside the store, Gates could already smell the wonderful aroma of coffee.

People come and go from the store every now and then, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

All signs indicate that the coffee at this shop is truly delicious.

He thought that when he had time, he would invite Zhan Tu and Long Wo to come here for a drink.

As Gates pushed open the store door and stepped inside, he subconsciously took a deep breath, his mouth watering.

The store, with its upbeat music playing, has a simple and clean decor.

The neatly hung celadon plates on the wall, one per year, are a particularly impressive feature.

In the corner, a large golden retriever was lying lazily.

Seemingly noticing Gates's gaze, the dog looked up, found nothing interesting, and then lay back down.

Gates: "..."

I felt that the dog's glance just now was really rude!

"Welcome! What would you like to drink?"

The boss's greeting made Gates turn his gaze away from the dog and walk to the bar to sit down.

At the same time, he quickly recalled the man's information in his mind.

—Akira Kido, the owner of this mald'amour coffee shop, is a kind-hearted man with great confidence in his blended coffee. He is a close friend of Mamoru Shima, the president of the "Supreme Blue Sky Club," and they often compete to see who can maintain their body fat percentage, recording their wins and losses in a notebook. In 1986, it became a regular meeting place for key members of the Supreme Blue Sky Club.

"A glass of Blue Mountain, please."

As soon as Gates placed the order, he felt a gaze suddenly come from his side.

He smiled slightly, inwardly chuckling.

Hmph! This is my revenge, Bruman!

Bruman is the dog's name.

It is pronounced as Bruman, written as Blue Mountain, and translated as Blue Mountain Coffee.

In a moment, Gates is going to "drink" this dog that he considers rude!

Aside from the dog itself, no one, including the owner Akira Kido, would realize that this was revenge against the dog.

This suppression of information made Gates feel a sense of pleasure.

It was at this moment that he understood the joy that Wozniak used to have when he kept saying "it's recorded in this book".

"Please enjoy." Gates took the coffee cup, took a sip, and immediately praised it.

“Delicious!”

Then, using the praise as a starting point, Gates steered the conversation toward the Blue Sky Society.

"...Mr. Kido, I would like to join the Supreme Blue Sky Society. Could you please introduce me to Chairman Shima-go?"

Gates subtly inquired about the situation of the Blue Sky Supreme Association.

However, to his surprise, the air suddenly became heavy as soon as he finished asking the question.

Akira Kido's expression changed.

He frowned, looking at Gates with a mixture of suspicion and doubt.

"You said you want to join the Supreme Blue Sky Society?"

"...Um, is there a problem?"

"This is a big problem. You know, the Supreme Blue Sky Society was disbanded eleven years ago."

"What? They've been disbanded!?"

Gates was stunned.

"Yes, after all, the main members have all been arrested. I even visited Shima in prison recently... Although I don't know where you heard about the Supreme Blue Sky Society, if you really want to see Shima, why don't you just visit him in prison?"

Gates: "..."

……

……

After hanging up Gates's call, Tsukuyomi couldn't help but raise her hand and pinch the bridge of her nose.

The president of the Supreme Blue Sky Society, Shima Mamoru, has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Megumi Aso was arrested on suspicion of robbing a bank and jewels.

Even Keisuke Nago, a bounty hunter, was framed for robbery and became a wanted criminal for resisting arrest.

The main members of the Supreme Blue Sky Society were thus captured in one fell swoop.

All of this stemmed from a past action by IXA that triggered a deep resentment in a man named Tanabashi.

All the charges against members of the Blue Sky Society were the result of Pengqiao framing them.

Once, as a painter, he was injured and fell into a coma for a whole year because of IXA's operation. When he woke up, he not only completely lost the opportunity to complete a masterpiece, but also lost his talent for painting.

This caused Pengqiao immense pain and resentment.

Then, in a fit of rage, Pengqiao blamed it all on the Supreme Blue Sky Society.

Having had his life and future as a painter taken away by IXA, Tanabashi vowed to take away the future of the Supreme Blue Sky Society as well, so that the people of the Supreme Blue Sky Society could also taste the pain he had suffered.

He spent 21 years in politics, and then he succeeded.

He used the enormous power and influence he had gained over the past 21 years to successfully carry out this series of revenge plans.

Well, if we disregard Tanabashi's reasons for revenge, his experience of "keeping his word" is indeed legendary.

"...So, the point of contention lies in the timeline of Chapters 27 and 28 of the Kiva Knight Calendar?"

Tsukuyomi has temporarily identified Tanabashi as the prime suspect for the Otherworldly Kiva.

As she put pen to paper and looked at the suspect in her notebook, Tsukuyomi couldn't help but pinch her brow again.

"Uncle, I'm going out for a bit."

Tsukuyomi got up and left the 9-to-5 office.

As someone on the side of justice, she has to find a way to help them out...

For the power of IXA.

……

……

[2008]

Swartz found the Delanlong Castle.

There, he once again saw evidence that proved the current timeline was an aberrant timeline.

Before the castle stood a woman who shouldn't have been there.

She was dressed in a black Gothic gown, looking like a countess from an ancient legend.

Mysterious, elegant, beautiful, and noble.

"Maya."

Swartz's pupils contracted sharply, focusing on the trophy the woman proudly held in her hand—the IXA boxing pistol! (End of Chapter)
