Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

"Xiao Hui, let me explain..."

"How rude of you, kid! You should use respectful terms when addressing elders! Call me Sister Hui!"

"Okay, Sister Hui."

Changpanzhuang I follow the good and follow the flow.

"So, can you stop now and let me explain properly? Look, you're already out of breath."

After a long chase around the sofa and table, reminiscent of the Qin King circling the pillar, Tokiwa Sougo, without blushing or panting, offered his suggestion.

But after hearing this well-intentioned suggestion, Asou Megumi across the sofa looked even angrier.

She stood with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Tokiwa Sougo, her small breasts heaving dramatically, indicating that she was indeed panting quite heavily.

"You...you...you little brat, how can you...run so fast?"

"Because I exercise every day."

Tokiwa Sougo's matter-of-fact answer left Aso Megumi with the feeling that "this kid is still mocking me."

But after noticing Tokiwa Sougo glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the pile of snacks on the table and the various snack bags scattered on the floor, Asou Megumi's lips twitched, and she inexplicably felt speechless.

Megumi Aso admitted that now that the Supreme Blue Sky Society has disbanded, and having lost her job after being released from prison, she has indeed become somewhat lazy in a retaliatory way.

Even so, with her past experience, her physical strength is definitely not weaker than that of ordinary people.

So no matter how you look at it, what's excessive is Tokiwa Sougo's ability to run continuously for over an hour without changing expression, right? Is that really the stamina of an ordinary high school student?

In addition to what Tokiwa Sougo just said about training every day... what kind of training could give a high school student such extraordinary physical strength?

And the agility and speed he displayed while dodging...

Suddenly, Megumi Aso found that Tokiwa Sougo's earlier statement that "he was looking for Akane Otoya" was somewhat believable.

After all, only those who are "abnormal" themselves will come into contact with, or even pursue, those abnormal people or things.

With this thought in mind, Megumi Aso pressed her chest, took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then plopped back down on the sofa, crossed her arms, and crossed her legs, gesturing for Sougo Tokiwa to stand directly opposite her.

"Before you begin your explanation, please state your name."

“Tokiwa Sougo.” Tokiwa Sougo walked up to Asou Megumi and said with a smile, “My name is Tokiwa Sougo, and I am a Kamen Rider.”

"Kamen Rider?"

"Ah, you can simply understand it as me possessing a kind of armed force similar to Kiva and IXA. I am Kamen Rider Zi-O."

“Zi-O…Zi-O? Quite the boast.” Megumi Aso nodded, signaling Sougo Tokiwa to continue.

"The organization I belong to, or more precisely, the organization I created—the Historical Bureau—is an organization that specializes in dealing with historical anomalies."

Tokiwa Sougo pondered for a moment, then began a new round of deception.

"Don't let my youthful appearance fool you. The amount of time I've spent in history, the depth of my experience, is definitely in the hundreds. Even now, I look at centenarians as if they were toddlers."

Tokiwa Sougo looked at Aso Megumi with kind eyes and called out affectionately.

"Sister Hui..."

"Alas--!"

After being taunted by Tokiwa Sougo, Asou Megumi couldn't help but shudder, her whole body covered in goosebumps.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

She stopped Tokiwa Sougo with a "Stop" gesture.

"I'll take your word for it for now, so please be normal and don't call me that with that look!"

"Ok."

Tokiwa Sougo finished in a second, giving Aso Megumi time to think.

After a moment, Megumi Aso asked with a strange expression, "So, according to you, my father's disappearance is actually a historical anomaly?" "Yes," Sougo Tokiwa nodded, sighing, "He should have been definitively dead."

"?"

"You should have a younger brother named Hongdu."

"..."

Is it better to have a history of disappearance, or a history of having definite news, but bad news of death...? Wait, he's dead, so where did my brother come from?

"Also, you wouldn't have ended up in prison."

Ah, that's right! I really should have a younger brother; there really is something unusual about this part of my history!
Aso Megumi's mind raced, and she instantly accepted the "facts" that Tokiwa Sougo had said.

That being said, the idea of ​​rewriting or correcting history sounds rather unbelievable.

On the surface, Megumi Aso believed in Sougo Tokiwa, but deep down she still felt that he was somewhat unreliable.

But it's okay, Tokiwa Sougo still has a trump card.

"Keisuke Nago, you know Megumi-nee, right?"

"Of course!"

Mentioning Keisuke Nago, Megumi Aso immediately gritted her teeth.

"That bastard really suspected me of committing a crime back then! I asked him to help me find out the truth, but more than ten years have passed, I've been out of prison, and he still hasn't shown up!"

Yes, at that point in time, Keisuke Nago was like this.

However, if we extend the timeline to the present, it would indeed be unfair for Asou Megumi to complain about "Nago Keisuke's disappearance".

Megumi Aso: "So, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"It seems that since you were released from prison, you haven't tried to find Keisuke Nago," Tokiwa Sougo said with a smile.

"Why would I want to see him?" Asou Megumi frowned.

“Because shortly after you were imprisoned, Nago Keisuke was wanted for resisting arrest,” Tokiwa Sougo replied.

"Resisted arrest?" Upon hearing this, Aso Megumi was both surprised and not so surprised.

"Yes, Keisuke Nago is also a member of the Supreme Blue Sky Society, so how could the mastermind behind the Supreme Blue Sky Society, who wanted to destroy the Supreme Blue Sky Society, let him go? However, what he didn't expect was that Keisuke Nago's pride was too strong, so much so that he would rather resist arrest and be wanted than admit that he was guilty... even if it was a false guiltyness."

“Ah, that’s how it is, Nago Keisuke,” Aso Megumi chimed in.

"But that's not why I'm mentioning him now."

"That is?"

"According to the official history we have, Keisuke Nago once traveled back to the past through a special door called the Gate of Time, attempting to change the present state of your imprisonment by altering history."

"Although he failed in the end."

"But his experience is enough to serve as my evidence!"

Keisuke Nago's disappearance is definitely not normal.

He was also one of the people Tokiwa Sougo wanted to investigate.

If we could find Keisuke Nago through Megumi Aso, killing two birds with one stone, that would be perfect.

Megumi Aso blinked in surprise, feeling a strange mix of disbelief and unease, as if an urban legend were right beside her, yet she had no choice but to accept it, before she came to her senses.

"—Wait! So, does that mean that in the timeline where I didn't go to jail, it was actually Nago who changed history?"

"That's not important. What's important is that we find Keisuke Nago!"

Megumi Aso and Sougo Tokiwa stared at each other for a moment, then Megumi gave a soft hum.

"Alright, if Keisuke Nago is really still alive, then I think Kengo Eridate might know something..." (End of Chapter)
