I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"Don't worry, Walnut."

Yan Fei smiled, shook the legal code she always carried, and then tapped her head, saying:

"Among tens of thousands of legal provisions, there is bound to be one that suits you."

"Hey! Hey! Hey! That's the one breaking the law!"

Gensou comforted Klee while watching with a smile as the two girls, Yanfei and Kurumi, began what seemed like an unknown...

Hmm... It would be even better if I could eat watermelon and nibble on a peach right now.

Just as Yuanxiang was lamenting that he only had a teacup at hand, a chilling aura came from behind him, as if a general who had slaughtered ten thousand men was striding in. The solemn atmosphere made Hu Tao and Yan Fei stop arguing and look at the newcomer.

The newcomer was none other than the masked boy who had stared at Genji earlier. He was carrying a plate of almond tofu and walked towards them as if facing a formidable enemy. The coldness between his brows made Klee 'whoosh' hide behind Genji.

'Boom. '

At this moment, Yuanxiang gently put down his teacup and looked at the newcomer with a gentle gaze. Immediately, Yanfei and Hutao felt the calm aura emanating from the young man beside them, like a barrier protecting them from external changes.

"elf."

The masked boy sat down opposite Gensou, placed the almond tofu on the table as if inviting Gensou to eat with him, and then said in a cold tone:

"How shall I address you?"

"Yuanxiang, a traveler passing through here."

Yuanxiang, without any hesitation, picked up his chopsticks, added a piece of tofu, and said with a smile:

Have we met before? I feel like you know me.

"...Maybe, I don't remember."

Upon hearing this, Xiao paused for a moment before replying, then fell into an even deeper silence. His aura grew volatile, as if he were experiencing a fierce inner struggle. Finally, he took out a small pebble from his person, placed it in his palm, and stared at Gensou, saying:

"If you weren't here just to have some fun, and you were just trying to snatch this stone with your fists and feet, and you succeeded, I'll cover all your expenses at Wangshu Inn from now on."

"Oh dear, this really is... um?"

After getting through that oppressive atmosphere, the energetic Hu Tao immediately returned to her usual carefree self, smiling and trying to chime in, but was immediately covered by Yan Fei and pulled back slightly.

Yanfei's father was a Liyue immortal who followed the Rock King in his conquests. Although he abandoned Yanfei to another immortal after she was born and went off to travel the world, barely caring for his daughter, Yanfei learned many immortal secrets because of this relationship. If she wasn't mistaken, the young man who was challenging her should be the Rock King's guardian Yaksha, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself."

Seeing Xiao place the stone in the center of the table and then put his hand outside the five fingers of the stone, Gensou followed suit and put his hand down as well. Then, the two stared at each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere around the dining table became extremely oppressive. The opposing auras made Yanfei pull Kuri and Kurumi to stand a little further away.

Then, without any warning, Xiao suddenly attacked, but instead of grabbing the stone, he slapped forward, interrupting Gengo's grappling attempt. This surprised Gengo, because judging from Xiao's stance, he seemed very familiar with his routine. But what does familiarity matter? Just like his Rider Kick, everyone knows about the Memory Monsters, but who can escape it?

Twisting, breaking, grabbing, pressing, rolling, supporting, reversing, cutting—on a small dining table, Gensho and Xiao fiercely clashed, the 'bang bang' of their palms and arms making Yanfei and the others grit their teeth. The intensity of their sparring continued to rise, causing ripples to appear on the surface of their teacups.

At this moment, Gengo slammed his hand on the table, and the small stone was thrown up by the powerful force, escaping Xiao's grasp. Gengo then took the opportunity to quickly grab at Xiao, wanting to end the sparring match. However, Xiao's speed and reaction were extremely excellent, and he also struck out with his own hand. As a result, everyone saw the small stone being crushed into dust under the combined attack of the two, which meant that the sparring match ended in a draw.

"Your skill is truly remarkable."

A few beads of sweat appeared on Gensou's forehead. As he used the Ripple Heal to treat the bruises on his arm, he smiled and said to Xiao:

"If this drags on any longer, I'm afraid I really won't be a match for you."

"...We did know each other before."

Xiao didn't respond to Gensou's words. He looked down at his palm. The already blurry figure in his mind, worn even more ethereal by time, seemed to have become slightly clearer during their recent sparring. But memories may fade; the fighting instincts etched into his body wouldn't be forgotten. At the moment of contact, his body automatically reacted, just like how that person had dragged him, the defeated one, to the market a thousand years ago... Ah, yes... yes... so that's how it is...

In that instant, a scene flashed through Xiao's mind: he was like a kite, being pulled by the hand, his feet barely touching the ground as he sped towards the south of Tianheng. But this memory vanished without a trace, like a mirage, yet Xiao was absolutely certain that it was not an illusion.

"Mr. Xiao?"

"I am not worthy of the title 'sir'."

Xiao immediately rejected Genji's address. Seeing Genji's still puzzled expression, the masked boy, whose face remained cold, twitched at the corner of his mouth, adjusting his expression to appear as if he were smiling gently, and then said:

"Have you been to Liyue Harbor? If not, you should go and take a look. I've heard it's very prosperous there. All the hard work and effort everyone put in back then hasn't been in vain. And... the Emperor is there too. He should be very happy to see you. Although no one remembers what happened back then, I don't think you'll feel too uncomfortable around him..."

"Wait a minute."

Gensho waved his hand, interrupting Xiao, and smiled somewhat awkwardly, saying:

"I have absolutely no recollection of any of those things you've mentioned. You...you must have mistaken me for someone else?"

"No, I don't think I made a mistake."

Xiao shook his head and softly replied to Gensou:

"But I can't answer your questions either. I remember very little. If you want to get the answers, you should go see the Emperor. He remembers much more than we do."

After speaking, Xiao suddenly sensed something, jumped up, and looked towards the east side of the inn. Seemingly sensing something ominous, he gripped a long spear in his hand, bowed slightly to Yuanxiang, and said:

"I need to clear my karmic obstacles, so I'll be leaving now. If you need my help in the future, just call me by my name, and I will be there."

"Um...do you need any help?"

Gengo took out the 'Cyclone' memory and said to Xiao:

"I also have other means of fighting."

"No need, please rest here."

Xiao looked at Yuanxiang and said in a deep voice:

"You've already taken care of all the tough nuts back then, so these small fry aren't worth your time anymore. Goodbye."

After speaking, the masked boy disappeared like the wind, but Gensou could sense through 'Cyclone' that he had used some strange method to achieve this near-teleportation.

What kind of thing is this?

Yuanxiang tilted his head in confusion, scratching the back of his head. It seemed that Xiao had said a lot, but if you analyzed it, it felt like he hadn't said anything at all. It was just that we had met a long, long time ago and had a good relationship, but I don't remember anything. If you want to know more, go see the Rock King Emperor.

How should I put it... it always gives me the feeling that I've been tricked and deceived.

"Brother Yuanxiang..."

"Klee, even when you're looking at me so cutely, I still don't know what's going on!"

Seeing Klee's face clearly showing she wanted to hear a story, Gengo could only give that helpless reply. At that moment, Kurumi leaned over, poked Gengo's cheek, then moved to the other side and poked it again, before exclaiming in surprise:

"So you're an ancient relic from a thousand years ago! Oh my, you look so young, you seem to be about my age. Grandpa, how do you maintain your youth? Please teach me!"

"Disrespectful to the Immortal Master!"

At this moment, Philgoldet walked over, smiling as she removed the hand that was still poking Hu Tao's face, gently scolded him, and then, while serving Yuanxiang the dishes, softly said:

"Lord Xiao is usually taciturn and not good at speaking, so there may be some things that are not explained clearly during our conversation, which may have left you with some doubts. How about this, I will arrange a carriage to take you to Liyue Harbor, where you can find the answers?"

This wasn't an excuse Philgold made for Xiao; Xiao truly meant it. Upon hearing the Great Sage Slayer speak so much in one breath, Philgold almost thought he was dreaming.

"No, let's take this child home first. My business isn't urgent."

Genshou waved his hand, decisively rejecting the suggestion. Well, he had been tricked too many times in the past, so he wasn't very comfortable with it. Therefore, he planned to resolve Klee's matter first, then go to Wendy to ask if he knew anything about it, and then consider whether to go to Liyue to take a look.

"If you are at ease, then... please enjoy your meal."

Philgoldet clearly intended for her to arrange for someone to send Klee back, but seeing Genji's expression of 'I'm worried', she changed her tone, calmly replied, and then left.

After finishing their meal, Gengo learned the direction of Mondstadt from Kurumi, and transformed into Kamen Rider Cyclone. He took to the skies and the two quickly arrived in Mondstadt territory. Of course, this was according to Klee, who said that the river seemed to have been used for blasting fish, so it should have already returned to Mondstadt. Therefore, Gengo landed, since there was a snow-capped mountain not far away, and the wind carried a chill. He was afraid that continuing to fly would make Klee catch a cold.

Not long after they landed and left, Yuanxiang saw a cleaned-up Hilichurl camp and a beautiful figure in white cooking over a campfire. In the pot in front of her, a small creature soaking in hot water and various vegetables asked in confusion:

"Traveler, is this really going to be a bath for me?"

187 Paimon and Ying

"Oh no!! Someone's coming!"

The little creature in the pot was looking at the white-clad figure in front of it with a questioning expression a second ago, but the next second, after seeing Gensou and Klee, it flew out of the pot with a "whoosh," hugging itself as if it was about to be seen naked. But in reality, the little creature hadn't taken off its clothes at all. After seeing the little creature fly out, the white-clad figure tilted her head slightly, looking regretful.

"Traveler!! You really do want to eat Paimon, don't you! How many times have I told you, Paimon isn't emergency food!!"

The girl's reaction was also observed by the little thing that called itself Paimon. So, without hesitation, she let go of her arms, floated in the air, and stomped her feet in frustration. While cute, she also seemed a bit dim-witted.

"Fine, I'll let it slide this time since you're Paimon's best friend. Hey~~~ pedestrian over there, could I ask you a question?"

Seeing the traveler silently turn his head away after hearing his complaint, Paimon muttered something helplessly with his hands on his hips. Then he looked in the direction of Gensou, waved his hand vigorously, and shouted loudly. Gensou glanced at the distance of less than ten steps between them and almost thought that the little guy wasn't calling them.

"Hello, my name is Paimon."

Did the little guy see Yuanxiang?

"Hello, my name is Yuanxiang. It's nice to meet you, cute little guy."

"Hehe, is it really cute?"

Hearing this, Paimon scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled. Just then, the girl in white walked over, gently placing her hand on her chest, and looked towards Yuanxiang...

"She is a traveler, Paimon's best companion."

The traveler glanced at Paimon, who was enthusiastically introducing himself to Gensou, swallowed the self-introduction he was about to utter, lowered his hand, and continued looking at Gensou...

"The Traveler and I are lost. Gensou, could you tell us how to get back to Mondstadt?"

The traveler glanced silently at Paimon, who had interrupted, then sighed and rubbed his forehead before looking at Genji...

"Oh right, we're here to recruit people. Yuanxiang, have you seen a little girl?"

".....Yes, I have."

Gensho chuckled and pointed at Paimon and the traveler, saying:

"Aren't you and your companions examples?"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Paimon gasped in shock, pointed at himself, and turned to the Traveler, saying:

"Traveler, so we've been looking for ourselves all along... No, no!!!"

Amid the traveler's speechless gaze, Paimon hurriedly waved his hand and looked at Gensou, saying:

"It wasn't me and the traveler, it was another girl. By the way, traveler, don't you have a portrait? Hurry up and take it out."

Urged on by Paimon, the Traveler produced a portrait that looked like a wanted poster from somewhere. Gengo took it, and Klee, who was hiding behind him, curiously stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to look at it. So Gengo bent down and looked at it with Klee. Paimon also came over and looked at the portrait that she had seen many times, as if this would help Gengo deepen his impression.

"Brother Yuanxiang, the person in this picture looks just like Klee!"

Klee took the portrait with surprise, placed it next to her face, and adorably compared it to Yuanxiang. Paimon nodded in agreement and said:

"Yes, yes, you look just like me. If you were the one we're looking for, wouldn't you say so, traveler?"
