Kamen Rider from the ancient times

Although the Super Time Jacker Teed was successfully defeated, and all the summoned Another Riders and monsters disappeared, the city was left in ruins.

The dark clouds that had been covering the sky began to disperse.

It was hard to tell whether it was the heat from the sun or the warmth from the flames of the explosion that permeated the battlefield. The sunlight reflected off the dust floating in the air, outlining the figures of several Kamen Riders.

Kawahara glanced at the Kamen Riders, then at Agito hiding behind Kuuga, confirming that they were still there.

Unlike the monsters that were summoned, the Kamen Riders did not leave as the Time Jackers were defeated.

However, once the disrupted spacetime is restored, and as Shingo Hisanaga's timeline merges with it, these Kamen Riders will eventually return to their own timelines, because their timelines are intertwined yet not one.

Is there something else that hasn't been done?
A brilliant golden light suddenly flashed across Kawahara's body, and the platinum cloak fell to the ground. He paused slightly and then looked at the back of his left hand.

The golden Agul symbol shimmered, as if it had summoned something. Kawahara looked up thoughtfully at the Kamen Riders, his gaze meeting that of Yusuke Godai.

Kuuga retracted into his fighting stance, and Yusuke Godai's ever-present warm and sunny smile appeared on his face. He then tilted his head and looked at him.

Kawahara wasn't sure if Teed's statement about "the time manager of this world" referred to this situation—but Kawahara realized that it seemed he needed to actively send these Kamen Riders back to their original timelines.

At that moment, Gaim walked over, and his silver armor transformed into human form in a burst of light.

"Kawahara, you must have used that Golden Fruit in this world, right?"

Kota Kuzuha wore a confident smile.

However, Kawahara shook his head: "No."

Ge Yehongtai: "..."

Her previously confident aura instantly froze.

Kawahara then smiled again: "But it should be similar. I only released this power within me after I returned to this world."

At this point, Kawahara also knew what Kuzuha Kota wanted to say.

The "golden fruit" he created was originally an ownerless object, belonging to no world and not the crystallization of any civilization; it was merely a fiction created from Kawahara's will.

Therefore, after arriving in this world, the fully released golden fruit took root here, making Kawahara the ruler of this world.

Perhaps he has already taken control of everything in this world.

"Kawahara, you should now be the god of this world!" Kuzuha Kouta said earnestly.

"god……"

Kawahara murmured this identity in an ambiguous tone.

Becoming a so-called god in the world of Kamen Rider is not a good outcome, especially since Kawahara knows very well what his core is, making him become that persona even more terrifying.

In particular, the things the Time Jackers did this time made a deep-seated thought in his heart keep stirring.

But when he turned around and saw a circle of Kamen Riders poised to kick him...

His mind became exceptionally clear again.

Several Kamen Riders from the vicinity walked over as they deactivated their transformations. Apart from Kiryu Sento and Banjou Ryuga, whom he had met before, this was the first time Kawahara had seen Shinji Kido—Kamen Rider Ryuki.

He's a young man who looks a bit shy and modest, with a warm smile. He seems like he'd be a good match for Tsugami Shoichi.

"I am Shinji Kido, thank you!"

Shinji Kido had just walked up to Kawahara when he spoke those words first.

Kawahara was somewhat puzzled.

Seeing this, Shinji Kido said, "Because I seemed to have forgotten that I was once a Kamen Rider, but coming here reminded me of that identity. Perhaps those memories are a little hard to let go of... but in any case, they are very precious to me!" He clenched his fist slightly, a look of emotion on his face, and then smiled at Kawahara.

"So I'm very grateful to you for reminding me of these things!"

"..."

Whether it's their own memories or the memories of others, they are the most important things to Kamen Rider.

Kawahara doesn't really remember much about his experience with Kamen Rider Ryuki, but he thinks it would be good if Shinji Kido could be happy in the end.

However, Kawahara is unsure whether Shinji Kido's memories, which he regained because of this world, will disappear again after returning to his original timeline.

So he looked down at what the other person was holding.

Upon noticing his actions, Shinji Kido subconsciously looked down, then, as if realizing something, somewhat bewilderedly handed over the card case he was holding.

"Um... is this what you want to see?"

Sure enough, once he lost his serious attitude, this guy, in some ways, had a carefree attitude like Tsugami Shoichi, as if he didn't know what was going on.

Kawahara naturally took the Dragon Rider card set from his hand, pulled out the Descent cards one by one, and looked at them. The last familiar blank card appeared in front of him.

Looking at the arrival card, which was exactly the same as the Decade world, Kawahara's memories of the Mirror World came flooding back. The golden Agurus seal on the back of his left hand lit up, and a golden clock pattern appeared on the blank card.

“Amazing~~”

Shinji Kido watched this scene in astonishment.

Kawahara examined the newly produced Time Descendant card: "I'm not sure if it will be of any use, but I'll just consider it a gift for our first meeting."

"For me?" Shinji Kido's eyes lit up.

“If you think it’s not for you, that’s fine too,” Kawahara smiled.

"No, no~ It's for me!"

Kawahara handed the card case back to him, and Shinji Kido took it expectantly, exuding a silly aura when he smiled.

Perhaps becoming a Kamen Rider in the world of "Kamen Rider Ryuki" is both a painful and a fortunate thing.

Because the knights of that world were caught in an endless, man-made battle.

But for Shinji Kido, if this power can be used to protect others, then it is something to be thankful for.

He looked at the card, which seemed to radiate warmth, waved it at Kawahara, and then smiled shyly, saying, "Thank you so much!"

Kawahara curled his lips into a smile, then opened a golden, shimmering spacetime vortex with his left hand to the side.

Shinji Kido, who was happily examining the card, noticed something and turned around. He sensed a calling coming from the other side, which seemed to be the place he should return to.

Kawahara gave him a gentle and friendly smile.

"Alright, since you want to thank me, then you'll be the first Kamen Rider to attempt time travel!"

"Eh?"

"I can't guarantee I'll actually be able to go back~"

"Huh?!?!"
