I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

Mr. Gensho really knows how to make children happy.

Looking at Sakura Kinomoto, whose face was practically melting from the praise, Tomoyo Daidouji couldn't help but mutter to herself.

But praising Sakura is definitely right, hmm... Sakura looks so cute like this, I really want to record it~~~

"Well....."

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

At that moment, Gengo noticed that Sakura Kinomoto was looking at him strangely. After swallowing a pancake, he couldn't help but ask. Sakura Kinomoto hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and replied:

"It's nothing. Barbara must have misunderstood. A few days ago, she suddenly said in the group that Yuanxiang was dead... It must have been a misunderstanding."

"No, I really did die then."

According to Kinomoto Sakura, the moment Barbara sent the message was probably when he was burned to death by the energy of the Moon Emperor Stone. So he casually admitted it, siding with Barbara. But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a 'clatter'. Looking up, he saw that Kinomoto Sakura's water glass had slipped from her hand and fallen onto the table. The child's face was pale, his eyes wide, and his body trembled slightly as he looked at Genji, stammering as if trying to control himself from running away:

"So, Gensou-nii, are you a ghost... a phantom now? No... it's okay, Gensou-nii is a good person, even if you're a ghost, there's nothing to be afraid of, um... don't be afraid..."

"Hey, Sakura, calm down."

Daidouji Tomoyo quickly typed "Sakura is afraid of ghosts" on her phone screen and showed it to Gengo. The boy hurriedly added an explanation:

"But I'm alive again, really. Look at this bright sun, what ghost could possibly play around with you in such good sunlight, right? Try it, my hands are still warm."

"......"

Upon hearing Gengo's words, Kinomoto Sakura immediately calmed down, but her hand still instinctively reached out towards Gengo, causing her to blush. She hurriedly tried to pull her hand back, but Gengo took her hand first. The warm feeling was like a stabilizing force, instantly putting her at ease.

Seeing that Kinomoto Sakura was completely relieved, Gengo smiled, withdrew his hand, took a sip of water, and said:

"Didn't Barbara mention my situation in the group afterward? Hmm... a lot happened during that time, she probably really forgot."

"no."

Kinomoto Sakura hurriedly said:

"Barbara's chat group system suddenly went offline and hasn't been restored yet. Nanoha said she was unconscious during that time, so she doesn't really know what happened."

Ah... could it be because of the influence of that dark gold gear?

Gensho tilted his head and thought, "How should I put it? This chat group system feels like a shoddy construction project. Just look at how many points Kinomoto Sakura got by triggering bugs. Is this system really just a free chat group that comes with a bug?"

But speaking of which, what exactly is that dark gold gear? A time curse? Rebirth and reincarnation? When did I get myself into this kind of trouble?

Haha... I have a feeling something big is waiting for me.

"Brother Yuanxiang?"

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Genji, who was lost in thought, immediately snapped out of it upon hearing Sakura Kinomoto's call, looked at the child, and smiled, saying:

"It's okay, Barbara is fine. Just wait patiently for the chat group to fix the problem."

"Well, but, Yuanxiang-nii, you still haven't told me what happened on your end?"

Kinomoto Sakura looked at Gengo with concern and said, while Daidouji Tomoyo also turned her gaze to him with worry.

"Well... the main reason is that I didn't have time to rest properly before, which caused my old injuries to flare up during the battle and I died."

Feeling that saying he was burned to death by energy might frighten the two children, Yuanxiang changed his approach to a gentler and more plausible way of dying, shrugging his shoulders and saying:

"Strictly speaking, I can't say I died at the time; my soul was just trapped. Later, my companions came to help, and I recovered. So don't worry, don't worry, I'm fine now. And, oh, I turned misfortune into blessing."

Gengo struck a 'strong' pose, smiling as he spoke to Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo:

"My body is much stronger than before, and I lose far fewer memories each week. I've also retained the new powers I gained. No matter how you look at it, this round of deaths was still a worthwhile one."

"But... that's 'death'."

Listening to Gengo recount his past death in such a relaxed tone, Sakura Kinomoto exchanged a glance with Tomoyo Daidouji, then frowned slightly, seemingly unaccustomed to the situation, and couldn't help but say:

"I always feel like you don't care about this, Yuanxiang-gege."

"...How should I tell you this?"

Yuanxiang returned to his seat, took a sip of water, tapped his fingers on the cup, touched his neck and thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Death... well, let's skip this unpleasant topic. After all, compared to 'death' and 'life,' is it really appropriate for Sakura to be sitting here so leisurely? You haven't finished your homework yet, have you?"

"It's okay, there's still some time before school starts."

Sakura Kinomoto ate some sushi, looked at Gengo, and said:

"I just made a promise with Nanoha that we should all finish our homework quickly and then find some time to get together and have some fun, which is why I'm in such a hurry to finish the craft."

"Oh, I see. That makes sense. The last few times you guys got together, something always happened here or there, so you never got to have a proper time."

Yuanxiang nodded and said, then stood up, clapped his hands, and said:

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

Seeing the confused look in Kinomoto Sakura's eyes, Gengo smiled and said:

"Although Nanoha has written quite a bit already, there's still a lot left to work on. Based on her usual habits, she's probably at my office right now, writing furiously. I'll go back and check on her. If she has any questions, I can answer them. That's all, I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, goodbye, Gensou-nii."

Sakura Kinomoto stood up and saw Gengo off, but as they reached the door, Gengo waved his hand, and the breeze that followed pushed Sakura and Tomoyo Daidouji aside from behind him. He then winked at Sakura, made a zipping motion over his mouth, and pushed open the door. Sakura and Tomoyo immediately heard Nanoha Takamachi's voice:

"Brother Yuanxiang, you're back!"

"Ah, I'm back."

Ok?

Just before Yuanxiang closed the door, he suddenly felt as if someone was watching him from behind. He quickly turned around and vaguely saw a figure wearing glasses flash by.

"Brother Yuanxiang, what's wrong?"

"....nothing."

Genji paused for a moment, hung his coat on the hanger, looked at Nanoha Takamachi's summer homework spread out on the table, and asked softly:

Is there anything you don't know how to do?

"It's alright, I can handle these things now. By the way, Yuanxiang-gege."

Nanoha Takamachi put down her pen, looked at Genji sitting next to her, and said:

"Dad asked me to tell you that the sword and shield coach he knows is very busy lately and doesn't have time to come and teach you."

"Oh, that's alright then. I'll just find someone else. You keep writing, I'll go get something to eat."

"Ok!"

Nanoha Takamachi nodded and continued doing her homework, but when Gengo walked into the kitchen, she immediately looked up and sniffed the air. The faint fragrance lingering in the air made a series of question marks pop up in the child's head.

Did Yuanxiang go out for a delicious meal just now?

Meanwhile, Yuanxiang in the kitchen frowned deeply. The more he recalled it, the more he felt that the bespectacled figure seemed to be just his imagination.

Hmm... I'll tell Sakura about this when I go to her place later.

........

The office returned to its usual quiet state. Gengo sat at his desk, busy organizing the other materials he had casually retrieved from the Earth Library. Nanoha Takamachi quietly did her homework. Everything seemed to have returned to the time before Gengo became a Kamen Rider, except that back then, Genjou sat in Gengo's seat, and the boy sat next to Nanoha Takamachi, doing their homework together.

In the afternoon, Gengo stood up and stretched. By then, Nanoha Takamachi had already gone home for a nap. The boy looked around and suddenly remembered something. He dug out the broken clock from the basement and thought he would try to fix it himself.

However, there's an old saying that every profession is like a mountain to climb. After Yuanxiang took apart the outer shell, he felt completely overwhelmed when he saw the interlocking gears inside. He looked here and there, holding his tools, he hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't bring himself to do it.

Forget it, I'll take it to Tokyo when I visit Uncle Mingtang later.

Yuanxiang regretfully put the lid back on, held the clock, and sighed.

If there were a skilled watchmaker in Fengdu, they wouldn't have to travel so far.

"Squeak..."

Just as this thought flashed through Gengo's mind, the closed door suddenly flashed with a faint light, causing Gengo to turn around in surprise. Looking at the constantly flashing door, Gengo raised an eyebrow.

This time... it seems like it's not someone else coming over, but me going over?

.......

Hey, that's interesting.

Yuanxiang grabbed his coat, held his watch, and pushed open the door. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of a shop. The boy looked up and saw that the shop was called "Nine to Five Hall".

Hmm... Is this a watch repair shop?

With these questions in mind, Yuanxiang pushed open the shop door. With the crisp sound of a bell, he was greeted by a wall covered with clocks of all sizes and styles. The second hands clicked in unison, echoing in the shop, and a heavy sense of the passage of time permeated the store.

"Hello, excuse me... ah..."

At this moment, a middle-aged man with graying hair lifted the curtain of the back room and came to the front. He subconsciously greeted the guests, but when he saw Yuanxiang, his body stiffened, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Yuanxiang, saying:

"You...you..."

"I?"

Gensho frowned slightly, then continued the conversation, puzzled:

"What's wrong with me?!"

The middle-aged man rushed forward excitedly, grabbed Yuanxiang's arm, and looked at the clock in his arms, saying:

"You're here to get your watch repaired, right? Not to fix anything else, right?"

"Uh...of course."

Yuanxiang was stunned for a moment, clearly not quite able to keep up with this person's sudden change of thought. At first, the boy thought he knew this person and was still racking his brains trying to explain why he didn't remember him.

"Great, finally a watch repairman! Come, come, sit here, sit here, ah~~~ this is truly an exquisite clock, the person who bought it has really good taste."

“That’s true, so I’ve been looking for a skilled watchmaker to repair it.”

No matter how strange the person was, as long as he praised Genshoji, Gensho wouldn't hesitate to shower him with compliments. On the other side, after hearing Gensho's words, the middle-aged man slowly turned his head and tentatively pointed to himself. Gensho didn't speak, but simply smiled and gave a thumbs up. The man instantly became happy, patting his chest and saying:

"Don't worry, I, Tokiwa Junichiro, will definitely fix your clock perfectly. Please have some tea while I get to work!"

Watching Tokiwa Junichiro, whose watch repair skills were almost turning into something out of a shonen manga, Gengo poured himself a cup of tea and looked around. Right now, it just looked like an ordinary watch shop that sold and repaired watches... Hmm? ??

Suddenly, Yuanxiang's gaze froze on the counter, where there were televisions, radios, fans, kettles, and other miscellaneous items. Judging from the appearance of these items, there was no doubt that they were all brought in for repair, but there was not a single watch.

"Guest, now you understand how I feel!"
