Kamen Rider from the ancient times

Are you ready?

A transformation field, resembling a construction site, unfolded.

After Kiryu Sento and Banjou Ryuga put on the Rider Driver, an exceptionally exciting sound effect rang out, and amidst arcs of red, blue, yellow, and purple light, the Kamen Rider appeared in the real world!
This is the first time Kawahara has made way for the transformation light effects...

The heat-emitting transmission pipes created a force field resembling an industrial stage, automatically shoving away the people around them. Kawahara, standing to the side, watched with a strange look as they completed their transformation in this state.

RabbitTank!

Get Cross-Z Dragon!

Kamen Rider Build, whose body is divided into red and blue sections by diagonal lines of metal armor, and Kamen Rider CrossZ, which features the characteristics of a fire dragon!

"It's coming!"

Ryuga Banjo clapped his fists with high spirits and charged towards Another W together with Kamen Rider Build!

Another W's target was clearly Shingo Hisanaga. When two Kamen Riders blocked its way, it retaliated fiercely and became quite agitated, holding its own even in a two-on-one situation.

After the battle began, the crowd that had dispersed around the square seemed to have noticed something and gathered around again with a mix of trepidation and excitement.

"Kamen Rider?!"

Someone shouted with delight.

Immediately afterwards, Kawahara saw them hurriedly take out their phones or cameras and, without any fear of the horror of Alien W, gather around to watch the battlefield.

Perhaps mistaking this battle for a tokusatsu street stage play, many young people started cheering and shouting, some encouraging Kamen Rider, and others even encouraging Another W.

They seemed completely oblivious to the illogical energy blasts and intense sparks that erupted when Kamen Rider and Another W fought each other.

The steps on one side of the square can also be used as open-air seating for people to rest and watch the show.

The mental state of ordinary people in the everyday world is so relaxing.

Kamen Rider Build noticed the increasing number of ordinary people around them, but with Another W attacking them, they couldn't afford to be distracted and make these people escape quickly.

The person standing at the very front of the crowd was a boy wearing a high school uniform.

"Very good……"

He turned on his phone's video recording mode and excitedly filmed the Kamen Riders in battle, his eyes gleaming with a kind of bright, burning emotion.

As Kawahara glanced at the audience with a hint of helplessness, his gaze suddenly settled on the boy, and then he looked down at Shingo Hisanaga beside him.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, Shingo Hisanaga looked up, his dark, clear eyes wide open.

Kawahara patted the child's head, then walked directly toward the high school boy, with Shingo Hisanaga, who was hiding behind him, quickly following.

The high school boy, who was engrossed in filming the battle, was completely unaware of what was happening, but a subtle change of surprise and doubt appeared on his face at that moment.

【Huh? What's this...?】

【Oh no... Oh no, oh no, oh no!】

[Get out of here quickly!]

Another voice echoed in the boy's mind.

At that moment, he forgot about filming and quickly looked around. Then he saw a man with platinum blonde hair approaching him step by step with a gentle face.

Although he didn't know what was happening, urged on by the increasingly urgent voice inside his body, the high school boy couldn't help but nervously back away.

Kawahara, who was walking towards him, paused slightly upon seeing this.

He felt that he was projecting a friendly aura, and he didn't know what the boy was suddenly afraid of.
However, at this moment——

Perhaps their act of directly crossing the battlefield was too arrogant, for a green gust of wind suddenly broke through the two Kamen Riders' defenses and surged towards Shingo Hisanaga behind them!
"Be careful--!"

Wan Zhanglong's anxious voice rang out.

Kamen Rider Build rushed over quickly, stretching out his arm with all his might to try and block the tornado released by Another W.

"what……"

Shingo Hisanaga looked over at the sound, his dark pupils reflecting the rapidly enlarging whirlwind. Then, the figure in front stepped aside and blocked his way.

boom--!
A storm of gold suddenly erupted!

A dazzling golden light instantly covered the entire square, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere, and the onlookers on the steps couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The exclamations finally turned into panic.

Shingo Hisanaga covered his eyes in the blinding light, then felt something soft, like a piece of cloth brushing against his cheek. He slowly opened his eyes to look.

A white hooded cloak fluttered in the wind and fell to the ground, exuding a radiant and divine aura. The black coat and trousers transformed into a white and gold suit, with mysterious gold patterns embroidered on various parts of the garments.

Kawahara lowered his head slightly and looked at himself, whose appearance had been completely changed by the energy burst of the Golden Fruit.

He then raised his left hand, turned it over, and a golden "Aguru Seal" appeared, flashing and shimmering.

The power of the Golden Fruit doesn't include such a thing. The current situation might be because that fruit was created out of thin air by Kawahara using the "power of creation" in his dream.

Then Kawahara lowered his hand and sighed.

But why does it have to be like this?

He turned his head away without making a sound, not daring to look at the eyes of the people next to him—this was even more humiliating than having his name called out in public!

The immense impact just now sent Another W and the approaching Kamen Rider Build flying. The latter looked at the white figure surrounded by a golden glow with slight surprise.

"How could this guy..."

However, he had no opportunity to investigate at that moment.

Another W, which had fallen to the side, got up and was about to charge forward again, but fortunately, Kamen Rider CrossZ pounced over and grabbed it, rolling to the ground together.

Alien W growled in annoyance, fell to the ground, quickly blocked CrossZ's punch, and then kicked him away.

An energy wave erupted from the point of impact, and Wan Zhanglong groaned as he rolled to the ground, taking a long time to get up.

Just then, a series of rapid running sounds came from above the stands. Then, two agile figures leaped over the heads of the crowd and landed on the plaza, kicking Alien W to the edge of the plaza with a single kick!

Two more Kamen Riders have appeared!
—Kamen Rider Grease!

—Kamen Rider Rogue!

They also come from the world of Kamen Rider Build, and are undoubtedly Kiryu Sento and Banjou Ryuga's companions.

If it weren't for the fact that his understanding of this world was constantly awakening, Kawahara would almost have thought this was the world of Kamen Rider Build; at least for now, it didn't seem out of place at all.

The surrounding crowd was uneasy because of the previous incident, but when they saw the new costumes appear, they couldn't help but cheer and jump for joy after their initial anxiety.

However, when Kawahara looked back at the audience, he found that the high school student was gone. The student didn't even dare to continue watching the newly arrived Kamen Rider.

"Why are you running away?"

Kawahara's gaze drifted into the distance, the dark red in his left eye flickering slightly as he noticed the boy's reluctant yet forced departure.

Clearly, the other party still really wanted to watch Kamen Rider.

……

Why are we running away?

An 18-year-old high school student is also asking this question.

The voice inside him was somewhat annoyed by this.

【I don't know either. 】

"ha--??"

The high school student suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He raised his eyebrows in disbelief, looking as if he was about to turn back and continue watching Kamen Rider if the other party didn't provide a reasonable explanation.

So the voice quickly said.

However, I think he's very dangerous and might just end your wish. So if you want your wish to continue, it's best to avoid contact with that person!

"Even if you say so..."

The high school student squatted down by the roadside, even more frustrated: "Just now, even 'Grease' and 'Rogue' showed up. I might have even been able to see what they looked like in person, but instead, they made me leave at this moment."

[Anyway, you've already met them once, and besides them, there's ZiO too, right? Okay, let's go see them now!]

The voice offered such comfort. The high school student's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "ZiO? That's right..."

He regained his interest, and seeing that he was almost late, he quickly ran towards the school.

……

……

At this moment, on the square by the riverbank.

After being impacted by the power released by Kawahara, and then beaten up by a combination of two other Kamen Riders, Another W was already considering retreating.

One against two might be a match.

But if it's one against four (or maybe five), there's absolutely no need to waste any more time.

After it stood up against the railing overlooking the bay, a huge green tornado suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and its entire form vanished instantly.

"and many more…"

Kamen Rider CrossZ instinctively took two steps forward, but Another W and the tornado had vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Kiryu Sento took out an energy bottle and deactivated his transformation. The other two Kamen Riders who had just joined the battle also deactivated their transformations.

It is Saruwatari Kazumi and Himuro Gentoku.

"Ichikai, and Gen-san?" Kiryu Sento's questioning gaze fell on the two of them.

"Long time no see! Sento, Ryuga." Saruwatari Kazumi smiled.

"It's you guys indeed!"

Unlike Kiryu Sento, who looked solemn and uneasy, I was pleasantly surprised to see their Banjou Ryu.

In order to reverse the tragedy, in the "new world" created by Kiryu Sento, Saruwatari Kazumi and Himuro Gentoku, who did not become Kamen Riders, should not know them. However, at this moment, they are fighting side by side again.

This is a joy for Ryuga Banjō. If he has companions by his side, he will no longer be all alone in the new world!
"So it's back to normal?" Banjō Ryūga asked curiously.

"Restore to the original state?"

Himuro Gentoku frowned in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

Upon hearing this, and realizing that the other party seemed to have no memory of the final battle, Banjō Ryūga was taken aback: "Eh?"

"Huh?" Himuro Gentoku was also taken aback.

"wait……?"

"That can't be happening..."

Kiryu Sento snapped out of his reverie, muttering to himself, but he felt increasingly uneasy. He finally remembered the strange man from earlier and the child who had been attacked by the weirdo.

"them--"

Kiryu Sento suddenly looked in that direction.

But apart from the onlookers who were still secretly observing and taking pictures of them, neither the man nor the child in the pure white robes had disappeared!

When did you leave?
……

……

Why were you attacked?

Kawahara had already left the scene with the child.

He absolutely did not want to be surrounded by onlookers, have his picture taken, then have it posted on social media, and finally have that image circulating on various online forums...

Upon hearing this, Shingo Hisanaga simply shook his head, his bright, clear eyes gazing at him.

Seeing this, Kawahara didn't dwell on it too much. He examined the golden talisman on his left hand and tried to suppress the power in his body.

wow——

He regained his normal human form.

This is right!
Kawahara breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Hisanaga Shingo looking at him curiously, he squatted down and asked with a light laugh, "Why do you want to stay by my side?"

Although the child was only seven years old, Shingo Hisanaga showed extraordinary composure even when facing the pursuit of monsters. It was already remarkable that he managed to escape from the enemy on his own.

"You can help me."

Shingo Hisanaga only said this somewhat dryly, and then, seemingly worried that Kawahara would be displeased, he showed a slightly probing expression.

Kawahara ruffled Hisanaga Shingo's head again, then said gently with a smile, "You don't seem to be from this era. Although I want to send you back, you'll stay by my side for now until we resolve the issue of your attack."

"This... era?" Shingo Hisanaga seemed not to understand.

"emmm..."

Explaining things like timelines to a small child seems a bit beyond their comprehension, even though the child themselves is an extraordinary individual.

Kawahara then said, "Do you remember where you live? I'll take you there to see it."

Shingo Hisanaga's eyes lit up and he nodded.

……

……

Hikari no Mori High School.

"Well, you've even shaken hands with Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi, can we stop now?"

"Eh--?"

A high school student walking along the road, kicking pebbles, frowned upon hearing this: "Why are you in such a hurry? I've only seen a few Kamen Riders so far, there are still so many more..."

Wait…you don’t actually want to meet every single Kamen Rider, do you?!

The voice inside him suddenly seemed to be collapsing.

Not counting the main rider, there have been dozens of Kamen Riders up to ZiO, it's hard to imagine them all coming to this world.

Even when hallucinating that scene, the "existence" within the high school student suddenly remembered that platinum-gold holy figure, and then involuntarily shivered.

Although he genuinely didn't know who that person was.

I don't know what the other party will do.

But the moment he saw that person, he vaguely realized that the other person was connected to the world, and even felt in a daze that the whole world was under the other person's control.

Therefore, he was well aware that the other person definitely had the ability to stop everything he was doing!
But he had to finish this task no matter what.

Because of—Shingo Hisanaga!
[Making Kamen Riders appear in this world for extended periods is very energy-consuming. If this continues, I'm afraid some terrifying things that I can't even predict will happen.]

The voice, seemingly trying to persuade him, continued.

[You saw Another W, who just fought Kamen Rider, right? Monsters like that will also come to this world!]

"but……"

Upon hearing this, the high school student stopped in his tracks, his expression becoming slightly hesitant.

So, is that about right?

"I……"

The high school student's eyes trembled slightly, growing increasingly hesitant.

Meanwhile, behind him, a human form of a Kamen Rider was following him.

The mysterious entity within the high school student naturally detected the stalker, but at this moment it was eager to sever the boy's attachment to Kamen Rider, so it did not intend to warn him.

After hesitating for a long time, the high school student took a deep breath, raised his head, and said, "I'm not sure if I want to give up on my wish. I want to go home and see what's going on."

He has a bunch of Kamen Rider figurines in his house.

Perhaps the Kamen Rider he truly wants to see is inside.
