Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

The two seemed quite satisfied with the brand-new tram.

Octopus Otherworldly God, oh no, now I should call him Naoki Takahashi.

He stood a little further away, with his wife and daughter on either side of him in his arms, the three of them very close together.

The little girl clutched her father's clothes with her small hand, tilting her head up to ask something.

The world has been completely changed.

The sky returned to its clear blue, the Tokyo Tower still stood in the distance, pedestrians began to move again on the streets, traffic lights flashed alternately, and everything looked no different from any other ordinary afternoon.

"With the timeline established, everything here will become a branch of reality. We will no longer be in that helpless state."

Everyone in this world was successfully rescued, and only then did Rin Ichijo begin to feel a sense of unreality.

"It's time to go."

Before he could think further, Ryotaro walked over and said in a gentle voice, "Things here are settled, but there are still many things outside that we need to deal with."

Hearing this, Yuuki stood up and glanced at Ichijo Rin: "Let's go, everyone's waiting outside."

Rin nodded without saying anything more, and turned back to take one last look at the city.

This city was also where he lived day and night after losing his memory, and it could be considered his second hometown. This caused a complex emotion to flash in his eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.

He understood that he could not stop here yet, because there were still crises outside that had not been resolved.

As the group walked toward the tram, Yuuki stopped beside the Octopus Immortal. After thinking for a moment, he asked the Octopus Immortal a question.

"Want to come together?"

The Octopus Demon God shook his head, a gentle smile on his face. At this moment, he looked no different from a normal human.

The body left behind by that man has completely merged with him after this incident, and he can now be said to be Naoki Takahashi himself.

"I've decided to stay."

He spoke softly, but the firmness in his voice was clear to everyone: "I think this city also needs a protector, even if I don't have much power right now, and..."

He looked down at his wife and daughter in his arms. The woman's hands were tightly gripping his clothes, her eyes were still red, but she gave him a smile with tears in her eyes.

"I promised them I would never leave again."

Yu Xing was silent for a moment, then reached out and patted his shoulder.

Momotaros came up from behind and slapped the octopus Otherworldly god on the back in a carefree manner: "Hey, Old Octopus, this area is yours to protect from now on."

Kintaros didn't speak, but simply nodded solemnly to the octopus Otherworldly God.

Take care, and I wish you all the best in the future.

Ryotaro spoke last, his voice filled with sincere blessings.

The octopus-like demon waved to the group and watched them walk towards the tram.

As Yuuki stepped onto the tram, she glanced back.

The octopus demon god squatted down, lifted his daughter high on his shoulders, and the little girl giggled as she hugged her father's neck. The woman stood beside him, reaching out to straighten her husband's collar, which had been ruffled by the wind.

The setting sun cast long shadows of the three people, creating warm shapes in the brand-new city.

Yuuki withdrew her gaze and boarded the tram.

"Boom!!!"

The sound of the tram starting up rang in my ears, and the carriage vibrated slightly.

The car doors slowly closed, and the scenery outside the window began to slide backward, first moving slowly frame by frame, then faster and faster, until the entire city turned into a blurry band of light.

As the tram soared into the sky, Yuuki felt a slight weightlessness. When her vision cleared again, the tram had already entered that familiar time tunnel.

I didn't have time to look at it carefully before, but now Yu-Xing finally has time to observe this time tunnel closely.

Through the tram window, the tunnel walls shimmered with colorful light and shadow, like a river woven from countless colors.

Yuuki watched quietly, while the loud chatter of Momotaros and the others could be heard in her ears.

But as the tram journey continued and the carriage quieted down, Youxing turned her head to the side.

At this moment, Momotaros and Kintaros were huddled together by the window, whispering to each other, with Momotaros occasionally letting out a loud shout that he couldn't suppress.

Ryotaro sat in the middle of the carriage, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were truly exhausted.

Rin sat opposite Yuuki, stroking the now-dull Den-O watch head in her hand, seemingly lost in thought.

"You've been through a lot, haven't you?"

Rin suddenly spoke, her voice not loud, but exceptionally clear in the quiet train.

Yuuki glanced at him, then looked at Ryotaro.

Ryotaro opened his eyes, as if he understood something, and straightened up slightly, leaning back in his seat.

“We have indeed been through a lot.” Ryotaro’s voice was calm, as if he were telling someone else’s story. “In the time before you came, Momotaros and I were almost constantly on the go.”

When Momotaros heard himself mentioned, he leaned over and chimed in, "That's right! He gets chased and beaten up every other day!"

Kintaros reached out and pressed him back down, then nodded to Ryotaro, signaling him to continue.

Ryotaro sighed softly, his gaze falling on the fleeting lights outside the car window, as if recalling some unpleasant past event.

"As a knight who can travel freely through time and space, my existence has always made some people uneasy."

"who?"

Rin pressed for details, clearly very curious.

Ryotaro didn't answer immediately. He was silent for a few seconds, as if he was choosing his words carefully, and then slowly said, "You should know that the timeline itself is extremely fragile. If you are not careful, the past, present, and future will be irreversibly changed. In order to maintain the stability of time, I have been mediating between the two forces."

"One of them is called the Time Bureau, but they are not benevolent; instead, they are dedicated to changing history."

Ryotaro shook his head slightly and sighed softly: "They completely disregard the consequences of changing the timeline, and insist that their approach is correct and that their version of history is the true history."

"On the other side are the Time Tribulation Ones."

At this point, Ryotaro's tone became noticeably somber: "Compared to the Time Management Bureau, these guys are even more insane. They wantonly distort history and interfere with the entire timeline, trying to create a timeline that belongs solely to them. This force's methods are very strange."

After a pause, Ryotaro pointed to Yuuki's body.

"The Time Jackers used the power of Another Riders to forcibly overwrite the original history with a new timeline. In the overwritten history, everyone's fate will be rewritten, the Riders will be replaced by Another Riders, and everyone's life trajectory and memories will be altered."

"This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable to us!"

Momotaros interjected, "If the timeline is altered too much, the entire history of the knights will fall into an irreparable state of collapse, and not only us, but they will also die."

"Those guys are complete lunatics, they won't listen to a word."

At this point, Momotaros was somewhat helpless.

"And our constant actions made me a target of the Time Robbers."

Ryotaro continued, "For them, a knight who can travel freely through time is the biggest variable in their plan. As long as I exist, they cannot be sure that their interference will not be interrupted."

"So they set a trap."

Yuuki could already foresee what the Time Jackers would do next, just as he had been tricked before.

Although I might not be able to beat you in a head-on fight, I can outsmart you!

Ryotaro nodded: "On one occasion, I received news that there were unusual fluctuations at a certain point in time. I took Momotaros and the others there and found that there were indeed traces of the Time Jackers."

"But that was just bait."

"The real trap is on our way back. The Time Jackers have already laid an ambush in the time tunnel. The alien Electro King they created led a large number of pursuers to attack from behind, attacking us from both sides."

“The chase lasted a long time,” Ryotaro continued. “We fought and fled, but there were too many of them. In a violent collision, Momotaros and the carriage fell out of the tunnel.”

"You're probably already very familiar with what happened next, Yuuki."

Yuuki thought about his later encounter with Momotaros and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He hadn't expected that there would be so many twists and turns in the process.

"What will you do next?"

Having learned the whole story, Yuuki was quite curious.

"Of course, we should continue to travel through time and space to solve the troubles caused by those people. We've been going through this process for so long, we can't give up halfway."

Momotaros answered instinctively.

Upon hearing this answer, Rin leaned back in her chair, her gaze fixed on Momotaros's face.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "You guys will get tired if you keep running like this, won't you?"

Momotaros paused, scratching the back of his head: "I am a little tired... but what can I do? I can't just leave those bastards alone, can I?"

"I am invincible!"

He proudly flaunted his muscles, only to be mercilessly struck down by Rin.

"Speaking of which, you were rescued from the desert by Yuuki not long ago, right?"

Momotaros: "..."

"Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?"

Momotaros was a little annoyed. He glanced at Ryotaro and saw that Ryotaro had his head down and didn't say anything. He then looked at Kintaros, and neither of them made much of a move.

"Rin is right."

Finally, Yuuki broke the silence. He sat up straight and glanced at the people present: "Faced with such a troublesome enemy, you will all perish one day if you continue like this."

"So I think you should consider my proposal and join the World Tree Foundation."

His words made Momotaros's expression somewhat unnatural. To be honest, Momotaros didn't like dealing with conglomerates; he naturally disliked people who were two-faced.

Knowing that Momotaros would have a hard time, Yuuki turned to Ryotaro as he said this: "I'm not asking you to give up on your own paths, but I feel that sometimes carrying everything on your own is not the only option."

"You must believe that there are people supporting you and helping you."

Ryotaro looked up and met Yuuki's gaze.

He was silent for a few seconds, then a faint smile appeared on his lips: "I understand what you mean, but I need to think about this some more."

"of course."

Yu Xing didn't press the matter further. He knew this was a difficult choice, so he nodded, leaned back in his seat, and changed the subject.

The carriage fell silent again, with only the low rumble of wheels rolling over the rails echoing through the room.
