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

If the wrong timeline were to appear in the official history, their world would be in complete chaos.

When the time comes, Yuuki, who possesses the power to travel through time, will have to remove these erroneous timelines one by one.

"The world is bad enough as it is, and I don't want to make it worse."

Yuuki shook her head regretfully. In this way, Kaoru Ichijo's position would be irreplaceable.

"It's okay, this is my own choice."

There were actually many people who could have filled this position, but Kaoru Ichijo felt that it was the most stable and conservative option for him, so he decisively took on the responsibility.

After all, he was a police officer.

"Are you still eating, drinking, and using the toilet normally?"

After listening to everything, Youxing stroked his chin and suddenly asked a question.

Kaoru was taken aback by Yuuki's question, and then she was both amused and exasperated.

"Of course you can, but it's not a big deal if you don't eat it."

He stepped forward and tapped Youxing on the head: "How is your head structured? How come you always ask such strange questions?"

“That’s not surprising at all.” Yuuki took two steps back, dodging Kaoru’s hand. “I was just thinking, if you can still eat, how about we just eat here today?”

……

A table was set up in the office, a hot pot was steaming, several empty wine bottles were placed at their feet, and the two men had flushed faces and were somewhat drunk.

Yu Xing rested her hand on the edge of the table, tapping it intermittently.

"Regarding the Five Dynasties, have you still not found any trace of him?"

Now that they've reunited, the last member of the trio has to be mentioned.

"No, if I could find him, maybe it wouldn't be so hard to get through."

The earth-shattering battle three years ago changed many parts of the world. One had tried to find it, but to no avail.

“You’ve never left Tokyo and Sawame City to go anywhere else. The outside world is completely different from what you imagined.”

Kaoru Ichijo straightened up, crossed his arms, and looked somewhat serious: "Some cities I don't recognize have inexplicably appeared in the world."

"An unfamiliar city...?"

Yu Xing was puzzled; he had never heard of this before.

"Because this is information that the Metropolitan Police Department has been keeping under strict control, we are unsure what kind of chaos it will cause if this information is released."

Kaoru Ichijo raised her hand and pointed to the hand-drawn map hanging on the wall behind Yuuki.

Yuuki turned around and noticed that some parts of the map were marked in red. He looked over—

【Fengdu】

This is the first city to be highlighted in red.

He then looked back and saw an area marked in red with no annotations.

“Our people can’t get into that area; it’s surrounded by a huge wall.”

One piece of smoke immediately answered.

"So we don't know what's inside, let alone give it a name."

This piqued Yuuki's interest; he had never imagined that there were still some unknown cities and places in the world.

"I'd like to go and see it if I have the chance later."

He made a casual remark, and after thinking about it, Kaoru Ichijo took out an action plan from the drawer.

"The Metropolitan Police Department plans to send a team to Futo in a month to conduct an investigation. If you want to go, I can appoint you as the captain."

If Yuuki were leading the team, Ichijo Kaoru couldn't think of anyone else who could possibly harm them.

Yuuki glanced at Kaoru: "Do you want me to work for you for free?"

When a team leader puts in a lot of effort but gets no reward, Yuuki has no idea how difficult that is.

"We'll allocate funds to you and hand over all jurisdiction over the team to you. If anyone acts recklessly, you don't need to worry about it, but try to bring back as many people as possible."

Kaoru Ichijo didn't ask much of Yuuki, and Yuuki readily agreed.

The two had almost finished their meal, and after cleaning up, Youxing decided not to stay any longer.

Just before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask Kaoru Ichijo: "Do you know where Rin went?"

"Isn't that kid Rin in Sawame City?"

Kaoru Ichijo looked at Yuuki, her eyes wide with surprise.

"I couldn't get through to him on the phone. When I passed by the Metropolitan Police Department, I looked around, but I couldn't find him."

Yuuki frowned; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Guihu to use the power of the World Tree to investigate.

"how is this possible?"

Kaoru took out her phone, which showed a call log from last night.

He called me just last night.

Yuuki glanced at it and realized the seriousness of the situation: "This is not a good situation."

"Is this guy up to his usual tricks again, running off to some deadly place?"

Yuuki scratched his head. Why did he feel that Rin Ichijo was even more unlucky than himself?

Yu Xing had finally managed to pull him back from the past, but now that he's just returned, he's disappeared again.

Fortunately, this time it wasn't about time; it was just that the person disappeared.

There is only one situation in which there will be no signal.

Unable to get through on the phone, Kaoru put his phone away, his face darkening: "That brat must have run off to another world."

"Rin is quite legendary for being able to traverse time and space in such a short time."

How can a legendary investigator not be considered a legend?

"Thank you for your concern regarding his affairs."

Kaoru patted Yuuki's shoulder familiarly, and Yuuki smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Of course, that guy is my friend."

He climbed to the window, the blush on his face quickly dissipated, and his eyes became clear.

"gone!"

The sound came with the wind, and when Kaoru looked up, the person had already disappeared.

Chapter 93 Midsummer and Yuuki

It was almost noon, but the Manatsu family's barbecue restaurant closed early.

Inside the empty shop, Manatsu leaned forward, slumped over the table, utterly bored.

She fiddled with the small doll in front of her, lost in thought.

"Manatsu."

Miwako walked over from the side, sat down next to her, and gently put her arm around her.

"What's wrong? Thinking about Xiaoyouxing again?"

She had noticed that her daughter had been frequently distracted lately.

Taking advantage of her day off, she was finally able to sit down and talk to her daughter.

"Hey……"

Manatsu sighed, turned her head away, and seemed reluctant to speak.

“Xiao Youxing is different now than before; he has many things to do.”

Gently patting her daughter's back, Miwako, who knew part of the situation, tried to reason with Manatsu.

But Manatsu didn't want to listen at all. She covered her ears and said, "I don't care. That guy has been missing for over a month. I've called and texted him, but there's been no response."

How can anyone feel at ease with this?

Manatsu's words made sense, and Miwako felt somewhat uneasy.

During the six months she spent with Youxing, she had long been used to the two of them bickering and joking around in her shop.

Most importantly, with Yuuki around, Manatsu's mood improves significantly.

Seeing Manatsu looking sullen, Miwako felt extremely worried.

If her daughter continues like this, things could easily get out of control.

"If all else fails, I'll contact your uncle; maybe they can help."

After hesitating for a while, Miwako spoke softly, and her words made the depressed Manatsu look over in confusion.

"Uncle? When did we have an uncle?"

From the time she could remember, Manatsu had only ever had her mother by her side, and Miwako had never mentioned anything about her family.

Even so, Manatsu was always very happy, as Miwako took care of almost every aspect of her life.

Therefore, Manatsu did not press Miwako for details about her family.

When Miwako suddenly brought this up today, she was still a little taken aback.

"Silly boy."

Miwako tapped Manatsu's forehead, her expression somewhat melancholy.

There's a reason she hasn't mentioned her family situation all these years: Miwako doesn't want to get involved in those matters, so she came here.

Do you know what your mother's full name is?

Miwako ruffled Manatsu's hair, and Manatsu thought for a moment: "Is it Sonoda Miwako?"

"Yes and no."
