Yuanxiang looked at the crowd standing dumbfounded at the door, and casually picked a word to say something to avoid making the atmosphere too awkward. At the same time, he casually pulled out the short knife that was still nailed to his right hand. The sight of the bloody and fleshy blade made the two children shudder.

At this moment, the boy belatedly realized that the scene was too bloody and he should avoid them. But since it had already happened, he had no intention of explaining further. With a flick of his right hand, golden ripples healed his wounds. Then he picked up a peach, ate off the rotten part, and looked at Da Dao Keji as he ate, saying:

"Self-discipline, I will defeat the enemy this time, all thanks to your 'Etrenal'. Let's find some time to spar with 'Etrenal' sometime, and I'll learn how to use this king of memory."

"That kind of thing can happen anytime, but are you really okay with it?"

Daido Katsumi looked at Gengo, whose face was pale. This still young friend looked like he might fall to the ground at any moment, but his weak body exuded a chilling aura. He had only taken a small step forward towards him when 'Etrenal' in his arms started frantically alarming and even wanted to fly out and transform.

"It's nothing, I just had a fight in a really disgusting place, so I inevitably picked up some unpleasant smells."

Yuanxiang patted his sleeves and said calmly, "Although I've been going crazy in the basement for the past two days, my memories are still reliably protecting me. I believe that even Keji won't be able to break through their defenses and detect what's happening in the basement. Therefore, no matter what I say, they can only choose to believe me. Ha, there's no need for them to suffer along with me."

"What's wrong? What are you standing there for? Come here. Anyone who didn't know better would think someone came to the firm to collect a debt."

Gensho smiled and beckoned the three people at the door to come in. He then turned and walked towards the back of the office, saying as he went:

"You guys eat and drink as you please. I'm going to take a shower. I'm covered in sweat and stench, it's unbearable."

After the boy's figure disappeared, Daido Katsumi looked down at the children on either side of him. Although both children possessed extraordinary abilities, their mental fortitude was truly lacking. Just standing there, they were overwhelmed by Genji's aura, and even after he had left, the two children were still unable to recover...

No, what am I thinking?

Da Dao Keji rubbed his forehead in exasperation. They were just children. Why should he judge them by the standards of mercenaries? But if his men came, they would probably become timid and hesitant. After all, Yuanxiang was like a volcano. Any contact would be burned to ashes by the erupting lava.

"Why don't you go back first?"

Grabbing the two children's shoulders and gently shaking them, Da Dao Keji softly advised them:

“I can basically guess what you’re trying to say, but you know Yuanxiang’s personality, and I’m worried that you might start arguing.”

"Will not."

Hayate Yagami raised his head, looked at Katsumi Daido, and said:

“We won’t cause trouble for Gensou-nii, right, Nanoha?”

"......Um."

Nanoha Takamachi suppressed the urge to cry rising in her chest, nodded, and tried her best to control her sobs. Although it was wrong of her, she helplessly found that she had become accustomed to the frequency of Gengo's injuries. After realizing this, the girl's eyes finally couldn't help but redden.

"By the way, were you guys unaffected?"

At this moment, Yuanxiang came out from behind. He looked like he had just finished washing up, still holding a towel and drying his hair. He was dressed simply in a white shirt and long, tailored black trousers, looking very dashing. As he tossed the towel onto the shelf beside him and tossed his hair from side to side, he continued:

"It's fortunate that I didn't sense your souls there, but I'm curious, what was it like on the ground back then?"

"It's like the end of the world."

Dao Keji twirled his military dagger with a flourish, then helped Yuanxiang cut away the rotten parts of the peach, casually describing the scene. After finishing, he also peeled off the peach skin, handed it to Yuanxiang, and said softly:

"By the way, Yagami and I found a base of the X Group in Tokyo, and we discovered some very interesting things inside. Do you want to hear about them?"

Yuanxiang rolled his eyes at Da Dao Keji with annoyance, and replied with feigned heartache:

"Keji, you've changed. What made you so mischievous? Love?"

"Cough cough cough!! The child is still here, don't talk nonsense."

Daido Katsumi quickly coughed twice to interrupt Gengo, and then told Gengo everything he had found there. However, most of it was related to the Dream World plan. Gengo had already found relevant information in the Earth Library and understood the plan to rule the world while eliminating Kamen Riders.

......

To be honest, even though we're mortal enemies, I'm really flattered that you guys are taking this so seriously!

"But speaking of which, how exactly did you manage to find out about South America?"

Ok?

Hearing Daido Katsumi's question, Gengo tilted his head in confusion, wondering if he had made a mistake. But Daido Katsumi immediately pulled out a USB drive, opened the copied file on it, and showed it to Gengo. Indeed, according to the records and images on it, the South American branch of Foundation X had indeed been destroyed by Kamen Rider Joker, but...

"I've never been to South America."

Genjiro rested his chin on his hand, recalling the question intently, before answering decisively. At that moment, Nanoha Takamachi gently nudged his arm and whispered a reminder:

"Brother Yuanxiang, have you forgotten?"

"Even if I forget, the records in the Earth Library won't be affected."

Yuanxiang answered affirmatively:

"I did travel to many places to deal with Foundation X, but because of the constant appearances of the Wind Rises, I couldn't go too far. To be honest, the farthest place I've ever been was when I went to see you."

Are you looking for me?

Dao Keji muttered to himself thoughtfully, his brow furrowing slightly as he asked, puzzled:

"Is it because your compatibility with the Joker wasn't that high back then?"

"I don't think that's the reason."

Yuanxiang raised his head slightly, a hint of pride in his voice, and said:

"Joker and I have been the best partners from the very beginning. He responds immediately whenever I wave."

"Well... never mind, let me check it out first."

Daido Katsumi stopped Gengo from going to the Earth Library to look up this matter, saying in an annoyed tone:

“Looking up information will also consume your memory, right? In that case, just give me a break. Since this matter has made Foundation X so nervous, I think we should be able to find more relevant information at other bases. Anyway, there haven’t been any other anomalies related to ‘Joker’ for so long, so just be patient with me.”

"Okay, okay, I've got it. I'll wait patiently for your message."

Gensou nodded obediently, then saw Daido Katsumi stand up abruptly. Sensing something was amiss, he quickly asked:

"What? Are we leaving now?"

"Ah, as the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot and kill him."

Da Dao Keji shook his wrist and said with an arrogant laugh:

"This time it's those bastards' turn to taste the flavor of hell. Besides, I've been living comfortably in Fengdu for too long, and I'm getting restless. So, this is goodbye. Take good care of Fengdu, and we'll meet again someday."

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

Yuanxiang flashed a bright smile, revealing his pearly white teeth, and gave Dao Keji a thumbs-up:

"Don't worry, I'm super strong now."

"Hmph, then I have no worries."

Daido Katsumi gave Gengo a thumbs-up, then casually left the office. The moment the undead stepped out the door, his expression turned terrifying. Although he still couldn't figure out what had happened to Gengo, his exhaustion, which even the ripples couldn't dispel, indicated a battle that had worn him down. Those bastards… even if I have to chase you to hell, I'll kill you all and make sure you can never cause Gengo any more trouble. Zaibatsu X… damn it all!!!

The murderous Grim Reaper vanished into the alleyways of Fuuto, while in the office, Gengo smiled slightly at the silent Takamachi Nanoha beside him, gently patted her head, and whispered:

"I am Kamen Rider. No matter what happens, I have no regrets... Nanoha, don't be like that. I fulfilled my duty perfectly and came back alive as promised to you. So... this is actually something to be happy about."

"...I can't do anything."

Listening to Genji's words of comfort, Nanoha Takamachi couldn't help but sob softly, burying her face in her hands and muttering to herself. She really hadn't done anything. As soon as the crisis appeared, she was evacuated, and when she returned, everything was calm. During the time she was gone, Hayate had even helped Uncle Katsumi take down an enemy stronghold, which could be considered as indirectly helping Genji. Only she... only she...

"You didn't need to do anything in the first place."

Yuanxiang looked at his younger sister, sighed, and said with a mixture of heartache and amusement:

"I've been working so hard just for this. Alright, Nanoha, don't cry. Your brother Gensou is really not good at reasoning and comforting people. Just be understanding and let's let this go."

"Gengo-nii is really going too far, actually acting cute towards Nanoha at a time like this."

"what?"

At that moment, Yagami Hayate's soft voice came from the side. Genji turned his head to look at her in confusion, but the Lord of the Night Sky ignored him and simply ran over to wipe away Takamachi Nanoha's tears with him. Then, Linfus's figure appeared behind her, smiled gently at Genji, and said softly:

“Mr. Gensou, weren’t you very interested in the loading system and barrier magic before? There’s no time like the present, let’s find a place to try them out now.”

"No, not for now. I'm so tired, I don't want to use my brain right now."

This is a lie. Although Gensou has returned to normal, it does not mean that those evil thoughts have been completely eliminated. They have only been forcibly suppressed by Gensou's extraordinary will. The devilish howls and whispers still occasionally ring in his ears. Although Gensou cannot find any evidence to prove it now, his intuition tells him that if nothing unexpected happens, those evil thoughts will accompany him for the rest of his life.

In this situation, if he were to combine and transform with Linfus, well... Genji doesn't think this Control Fusion Rider could withstand the erosion of evil.

"Furthermore, I've also gotten a bit of a clue. Could you please explain the key points to me later? I'll figure it out myself."

"OK, all right."

"By the way, you don't seem like you just happened to run into Keji."

Hayate Yagami was clearly comforting Nanoha Takamachi on his behalf. Afraid of saying the wrong thing, Gengo naturally moved a little further away and chatted with Linfus. During this conversation, Gengo learned that during the two days he was locked in the basement, Katsumi Daido and his team had practically turned the wind upside down in their search for him. In the end, they had no choice but to wait for him at the agency.

Just now, Daido Katsumi went out to deal with his teammates' affairs. On his way back, he saw Takamachi Nanoha and Yagami Hayate returning from the agency in disappointment, so he took the initiative to go over and chat with the children to comfort them. As a result, Gensou finally appeared recently.

"I feel really bad for causing trouble."

Yuanxiang awkwardly touched the back of his neck, smiled, and said:

"Next time I'll try to leave you a note in advance to explain the situation."

“Mr. Gensho, there’s no need for that.”

Linfuse glanced at her master and whispered to Gensou:

“Everyone understands the reasoning, but… Mr. Gensho, the Book of Night Sky really isn’t destroyed. Even if you don’t want your master to go to the battlefield, you could have told me. Of course, I also know that things often happen suddenly here… Sigh… Your experiences are truly magnificent.”

"Actually, it's just bad luck."

Gengo chuckled, making fun of himself. At that moment, Hayate Yagami and Nanoha Takamachi also stood up, looked at Gengo, and said:

"Brother Yuanxiang, we're leaving now. You get some rest, and we'll come back to find you later."

"Make sure you get plenty of rest!"

Nanoha Takamachi, still worried, added:

"Don't run around!"

"Wow~~~ Little Nanoha's words are just like Aunt Momoko's."

Yuanxiang snapped his fingers and nodded in response:

"Don't worry, I don't even have the energy to go out and do anything right now. Okay, okay, let's go, I'm going to sleep~~"

After watching the guests leave the office, Gengo stretched lazily, then put his hands on his hips, tilted his head, looked at the ceiling, and muttered in confusion:

"Another Joker...who exactly are you?"

"Manager, are you there?"
