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

"this."

Amid Eiji's confusion, a drop of black flame appeared in the corner of Yuuki's eye. After the flame touched Yuuki's palm, it transformed into several coins of different colors.

"They're coins with gorilla, shark, leopard, and mantis designs!"

Reaching out to take the coins, Eiji was somewhat dazed: "Have they come back to life?"

But why Ankh...?

Eiji carefully took out a bright red coin that was broken in two from his pocket and put it back together.

He waited patiently for a while, but there was still no response, so he sighed.

All the other greedy ones have been resurrected, so why hasn't Ankh been resurrected yet?

Noticing the man in front of her suddenly become downcast, Yuuki looked at the coin and said softly, "He must be someone very important!"

Eiji looked up and said with a wistful smile, "Yes, a very important partner."

Memories of his past experiences with Anku flashed through his mind as he gripped the broken coin tightly.

"As long as you believe, there will definitely be a day when we meet again."

Yuuki patted Hino Eiji, which made him feel a little better.

He put the coins back in his pocket, pulled a map from his bag, and handed it to Youxing: "Speaking of which, I was actually asked to come to you this time."

Yuuki took the map, which was woven from leaves, and the familiar handwriting on it made Yuuki's eyelids twitch.

"Is it that Rin Ichijou?"

I was just thinking about how to find Rin Ichijo, but I didn't expect that news about Rin Ichijo would come to me so quickly.

“The situation was quite urgent at the time. He only told me to take this map to find you, but he didn’t tell me his name.”

Hino Eiji was somewhat unsure.

"It must be him!"

Yu Xing was 100% certain. He carefully scanned the map and found that it contained detailed markings of Helheim.

The World Tree's permanent entrance and the ancient ruins we encountered before are marked on it.

"What was the situation at the time? How was the situation so urgent?"

Yu Xing put away the map and asked in a deep voice.

If Rin were to be killed, then it would be all over. Without the watch, he wouldn't be able to travel back to before the events occurred.

Huano Eiji shook his head:

"His location isn't dangerous; he just can't get out. He was able to talk to me purely out of luck."

Hino Eiji had been traveling through the world's most dangerous war zones until he learned of the crisis that had broken out in Sawame City nearly two months ago, at which point he withdrew from those places and returned.

Not long after he arrived in Zeya City, he encountered the opening rift. After dealing with the aliens who escaped, he went inside.

“There, time flows at different speeds, and space has gaps. It is precisely because of this that the person used it to send me a message from the future.”

"future?"

Yuuki sighed. Now Rin Ichijo has truly become a legendary investigator. To survive a crisis involving both time and space is a testament to her strength.

"How come this guy dares to go anywhere?"

Yuuki really couldn't understand how Ichijo Rin got to that place.

"That map was a record of information he made after traveling through various parts of Helheim in that region."

"It might be of some help to you."

After finishing speaking, Eiji felt a little tired. He sat down on the curb and looked down at the coins in his hand.

After repeatedly looking through the map, Yuuki decided to contact Kuroshima Takatomo.

As soon as the call connected, Yuuki spoke first: "I know where Rin is, but we probably don't have a way to get him out right now."

When both time and space are abnormal, such places are far more dangerous than battles.

If they're not careful, they could end up trapped inside like Rin.

"Understood," Guihu replied quickly. "Is there anything else important?"

"Send me a report on the Otherworlder game."

Since there's no way to rescue Rin Ichijo for the time being, and there's still a month before we set off for Fuuto.

Yuuki decides to step in and clean up the mess in Zeya City.

He has basically eliminated the poisonous insects of the World Tree Foundation, and the next step is to solve the problems caused by the Otherworlder game.

"it is good."

Guihu is always reliable; a document was sent to his phone a few minutes later.

After spending a few minutes browsing through it, Yuuki paused briefly on the reporter's name before closing it.

"I'm going to deal with the trouble caused by the Otherworlder game. Will you come with me?"

He asked Hieno Eiji.

"Go, of course we'll go! The struggle shouldn't have continued in the first place."

Hino Eiji immediately agreed. In the past month in Zeya City, he had already prevented many incidents caused by outsiders.

"Okay, let's go find someone first."

As soon as Yuuki finished speaking, she took off and disappeared from Hino Eiji's sight in the blink of an eye, leaving Hino Eiji standing alone in the wind, somewhat bewildered.

"I...I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"

Yu Xing didn't tell him who they were going to find, nor did she take him with her. He had absolutely no idea how to get there!

As if hearing Hino Eiji's tearful shout, Yuuki quickly appeared in front of him again.

"Sorry, I'm used to walking alone."

He coughed lightly and finally decided to flag down a car on the side of the road.

The two arrived at the largest square in Zeya City by car. This square is the only way to get to various places in Zeya City, and many small stages have also been set up here.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and many dance troupes were dancing on stage, while some audience members gathered below the stage.

There was one stage with a particularly large crowd, and Yuuki, with her excellent eyesight, spotted Kouta Kuzuha, who was leading the dance at the very front.

Having found the person in question, Yuuki didn't hesitate and quickly headed towards them, but he was stopped by Eiji.

"how?"

Yuuki was a little confused, but Eiji shook his head at him: "Let's wait until they're done. It would be a bit too much to ask them at this time."

He looked Youxing up and down and said, "I always feel that you are a bit too straightforward in your actions, which is similar to me at a certain point in my life."

You wouldn't have known if Eiji hadn't mentioned it, but once he did, Yuuki quickly realized what was going on.

His emotions seem to have become more detached than before, only showing some at specific times.

"You will become his."

The words of Baruba echoed in Yuuki's mind, and the man who had only appeared in his memories gradually overlapped with the man he was now.

Is that me in the past, or me in the future?

As Yuuki pondered, the Gaim/Kaibu group's dance came to an end.

Hino Eiji didn't disturb Yuuki's contemplation, but instead went forward to negotiate alone, eventually bringing Kazuha Kouta to Yuuki's presence.

"Hello."

Kota Kuzuha had met Yuuki before, and he wasn't particularly reserved, simply waving his hand in front of Yuuki.

Yuuki shook off the thoughts in his mind, looked at Kouta Kazuha, and reached out his hand.

"Take out the lock and the driver."

Kouta Kazuha wasn't particularly surprised that Yuuki knew this, as he knew the person in front of him was a high-ranking member of the World Tree.

"I need this strength."

Kouta Kazuha shook his head. After learning about Helheim, he understood that without power, he couldn't protect those around him.

Not to mention, another dance troupe often clashed with them, and he knew that Kaito also had a set of armor.

If he loses the power of his armor, the consequences are predictable.

"This thing is still in an unstable phase, and it may cause some unexpected events."

"Kuzuha Kouta, I understand you. I know you are a kind person, which is why I chose to find you first."

“The situation in Helheim is uncontrollable, and you should not bear this responsibility.”

Yuuki explained the situation to Kouta, but the more he explained, the brighter Kouta's eyes became.

"Then I choose to join you. I will also deal with the disaster brought by Helheim and protect the citizens."

It's easy to say, but difficult to do.

Yu Xing didn't speak, but her aura fluctuated slightly for a moment.

Eiji noticed the change and quickly grabbed his arm, pulling him aside: "This is the power of a newly born knight, don't do anything reckless."

Hino Eiji could tell that Yuuki was about to make a move.

“I won’t use my full strength. There are some things I can say, but whether I can do them is still unknown. I have to test him.”

"Besides..."

Yuuki gently stroked his waist: "The Lockseed is transformed from the Helheim Fruit, and this driver may not be able to completely isolate the fruit's influence."

He glanced sideways at the grinning Kouta Kazuha, a hint of sadness creeping into his eyes: "If he knew that because of the Driver, he would become a monster like me, would he still be as happy as he is now?"

This monster's power is terrifying, but becoming a monster comes at a price.

Hino Eiji remained silent. Yuuki's words made a lot of sense, and he could understand that feeling very well.

He experienced this firsthand as a dinosaur-like greedy individual.

The food lost its flavor, the world turned black and white... everything was terrible.
