I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"I'm not worried about you."

The Patriot straightened Yuanxiang's hat with his claw-like hands and slowly said:

"Although you are the youngest soldier here, you are also the most reliable. I believe you will make the right decisions depending on the situation... What a pity..."

The patriot remarked with emotion:

"If I had met you a few decades earlier, I would have brought you into my team no matter what, trained you well, and then you could take over my position."

"Hehe, after being praised like that by you, Grandpa, I suddenly feel a little smug."

Yuanxiang smiled and puffed out his chest in a smug manner, but the dizziness that came with the action made him lean back on the horse. However, the boy's acting skills were always on point, and Patriot did not notice his momentary weakness.

"Speaking of which, what were you planning to say when you called Talulah to the woods?"

Suddenly, Patriot changed the subject, asking Yuanxiang in a gossipy tone. It was clear that the old man wasn't very good at this topic, as his tone was quite stiff and uncomfortable.

Gensho, however, stated quite frankly:

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell her about my amnesia so that if I run into someone I know, I can ask her to help me deal with it. I also discovered something unexpected about her, but as for what it is, we'll see if Talulah decides whether to tell you."

"I see..."

Patriot nodded, then his gaze wandered, and he discreetly pulled out a few sugar-coated objects from his person, saying:

“I heard from the Shield Guard that he and my daughter often bicker… Frostnova really likes this kind of spicy candy, you should keep some on hand, it won’t hurt. You can also take it to her when you’re free… Don’t make things too tense. Cough cough, where did Talulah go? I’ll go look for her.”

Watching the burly figure hurry away, and then looking at Talulah walking right in front of the group, Gensou subtly weighed the candy in his hand and tilted his head.

Was that old man thinking of playing matchmaker? Honestly, all old people have this kind of thing going on.

Yuanxiang smiled wryly, pocketed the candy, rubbed his face, took the paper and pen that Guan Talulah had asked for, and continued writing in the carriage. In this way, amidst the sound of the wind and the creaking of the carriage, the traveling group finally returned to their base.

"I'm going back now."

Gensho jumped off the carriage, rolled up what he had written, and handed it to Talulah, saying:

"Chen is still waiting for my reply, and I'm also very tired, so I won't keep any more. Here, take this. I don't know if I've left this for you before, but I hope it can be of some help."

Gensou wrote down the training method of Ripple, hoping that this method of strengthening the body would make the infected people feel better. After all, he had just seen many infected people groaning in pain due to the onset of Originium disease on the way. Although Ripple had relieved the pain a little, he could not stay here forever.

"By the way, don't come to my place for the next month. I've run into some problems there, and if you go, you might get into trouble. Please remember that."

After repeatedly instructing Talulah, Gensou finally pushed open the door and returned to the office. He then wanted to open the door again to find Chen Huijie and talk to her about Talulah's situation, but as soon as he turned around, a strong sense of dizziness surged into his brain. Gensou's vision went black, and he collapsed stiffly onto the floor, unconscious. His body twitched slightly under his willpower, trying to stand up, but... he was so tired... Maybe... he should just sleep for a while and then go back to work. Anyway... he was alright now.

After such a thought flashed through the mind of the boy, whose will was beginning to cloud, he gave up struggling and fell into a long-lost state of rest.

Just then, the door opened quietly, and Sakura Kinomoto appeared outside. The plate in her hand was full of pancakes. Obviously, after Gengo praised her last time, she made some more and wanted to give them to Gengo to try.

But the sight behind the door startled Kinomoto Sakura, who gasped in surprise. She wanted to rush over to see what was going on, but as soon as she took a step, she remembered Takamachi Nanoha's warning in the group chat. Last time she had stumbled in by accident and was lucky that she hadn't been rejected by the world. But if she was unlucky this time and something happened to her, who would take care of Gengo-nii?

There's no other way; this is the only option.

Seeing Gengo's feet right by the door, Kinomoto Sakura hurriedly called Daidouji Tomoyo, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Each of them grabbed one foot and pulled the boy over to her side. Then, she closed the door and quickly found someone to help. After a flurry of activity, Gengo finally settled down at the Kinomoto house.

At this moment, Sakura Kinomoto hesitated as she looked at the open chat group page. Knowing Gengo's personality, he definitely wouldn't want Nanoha to know about this. And just this morning, Nanoha seemed to have had a disagreement with Gengo because of her recurring injuries. She went to the agency partly to deliver pancakes, and partly to check on Gengo to see what was wrong. After all, Nanoha hadn't explained things clearly, and she hadn't expected to encounter this situation. Hmm... maybe she should wait and see.

Kinomoto thought about it for a while and finally closed the chat page. After all, the doctor said that Gensou was just too tired and would be fine after a good night's sleep. If there were no other problems after he woke up, he shouldn't tell Nanoha so as not to worry her.

but.....

Kinomoto Sakura looked at Gengo, whose brows were furrowed even in his sleep, and scratched her cheek with a subtle expression.

It gives me this feeling of stealing something in an anime, ugh~~~(*>﹏<>

207 Clow Reed

"Kamen Rider, open your eyes, I am Gengo."

Uh-huh?

While still half-asleep, Genji suddenly heard a soft voice beside him. Still very sleepy, he gave a perfunctory reply, then realized something was wrong. He quickly opened his eyes, propped himself up, and the first thing he saw was a dreamlike scene—

The sun and moon hung in the sky at the same time, but the light they emitted was unusually soft. All around were colorful clouds and twinkling stars, reflecting each other. Although I was lying in bed, the night sky below me was like crystal, so beautiful that it was astonishing.

The person who woke Yuanxiang was sitting on the edge of the bed. He had long, black hair that reached past his shoulders, with the ends tied into a lock that hung down to his chest. He wore a long black robe that reached the ground, with purple stripes along the edges and star-shaped patterns on the chest. Underneath the robe was a yellow and white undergarment, and he looked exceptionally refined.

Seeing the lingering surprise on Gensou's face, the man pushed up his glasses and revealed a faint smile, as if he were quite pleased with his prank.

“I recognize you. When I came to Sakura’s place last time, you were the one who flashed past that child.”

Looking at the man in front of him, Yuanxiang's gaze gradually sharpened. It was this man who had made his memory of him blurry, and he had almost forgotten his appearance.

"Haha, although I felt at the time that it might not succeed, it was still quite a surprise when it actually failed."

The man smiled gently and waved his hand. Yuanxiang, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly sat down at the tea table. He also slowly sat down, picked up the teapot, and poured Yuanxiang a cup of... wine?

Genshou sniffed to make sure he wasn't mistaken, then looked at the man opposite him, who was drinking and eating dessert, with a subtle expression. The man, noticing Genshou's gaze, paused, then handed the pastry he had picked up towards Genshou, saying:

"Would you like to eat this?"

"no thanks."

"Then I won't be polite."

The man deftly popped the pastry into his mouth, then sat up slightly and said in a kind and amiable manner:

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Clow Reed, and I am a magician. Of course, I am already dead. What you see is just the magical remnant I left behind in my lifetime."

"May I ask what brings you here to see me?"

Gensou twirled his teacup, looking curiously at the magician opposite him. He felt that he still had the Lost Driver and the Memory in his arms, so he became more relaxed and prepared to get some information from Clow Reed to deduce his current situation.

"Let's talk about what happened last time we met."

Seeing that Gensou didn't drink, Kuroto poured himself a full glass and slowly sipped it, saying:

"That wasn't something I did intentionally. It was something I left on this afterimage before I died. After all, if someone saw me and got scared, this would save them from having nightmares."

Kuro explained with a smile, but looking at his smile, Gensou couldn't help but feel that this guy had only created that afterimage to scare people.

"Alright, now that we've covered that one question, let's talk about another one. Gensou, actually, I was quite a powerful magician in my lifetime. Although I'm dead, I left behind a lot of magical legacy. One of my proudest creations is something quite amazing."

Seeing Clow Reed's expression that seemed to say, "Come ask me what it is," Gengo silently pursed his lips and said softly:

"What is that? Do you need my help to destroy it?"

"...At this point, shouldn't the usual question be something like 'Is this for me?'"

Kuro looked at the boy in front of him who was trying to roll up his sleeves, and for a moment he couldn't follow his train of thought, so he chuckled and said:

"Fortunately, you didn't ask that question, because it seems that the thing has already found a new owner, so I can only disappoint you if you ask."

You bespectacled guy, you're really wicked.

Yuanxiang muttered to himself in annoyance, "This Clow Reed has been looking for fun the whole time. If we follow his lead, we'll definitely be tricked into something bad."

"That thing is called 'Clow Cards,' yes, it's the magic card named after me."

At this moment, Clow Reed calmly said:

"I infused the cards with my own dark power, so each card has its own life, a completely different name, form, and magic. Hehe, don't worry too much."

Seeing Genjiro's immediate seriousness upon hearing "dark power," Clow Reed pressed his hand down and explained:

"Dark power does not necessarily mean evil, but some card sprites can be a bit mischievous."

"Mr. Clow Reed, if you may, please tell me why you've summoned me here."

Yuanxiang felt that the magician in front of him was simply chatting with him, and if he didn't take the initiative, he could talk to him for a very long time.

"Okay, to prevent any accidents after my death, I sealed the Clow Cards in a magic book and had my familiar guard them. However, before I died, I discovered through divination that the Clow Cards would be scattered in various places due to some accident. So I hope that if you encounter a Clow Card, as long as the child is not doing anything that you cannot tolerate, you will let it go and let its new owner reclaim it."

"Okay... wait a minute."

Yuanxiang suddenly noticed a blind spot and asked curiously:

"Since you have already foreseen the future, why don't you set up a spell to prevent this accident from happening?"

"Haha, I'm already dead, so let the young people solve those problems themselves. Consider it a test."

Kuro Rido calmly took a sip of his drink, and seeing his expression, Gengo's lips twitched involuntarily. He felt that this man just wanted to see his successor scrambling around. Compared to putting him to the test, watching him have a lot more appeal to him.

"Speaking of which, since you, Mr. Clow Reed, are skilled in divination, you should also know who your successor is, right?"

Yuanxiang picked up a piece of pastry, and while eating it, asked:

"Can you tell me who it is? I'm also very curious about who could take over this power."

"Yuanxiang, you're so young, don't be so bloodthirsty."

Kuro Rido raised his eyes, smiled, and looked at the boy opposite him, saying:

"She's a good girl, you know. She won't use that power recklessly. Once she grows up, she can also heal your hidden ailments. She will become a magician who surpasses me."

Kuro Rido's hand trembled, and a plate of peach desserts was placed in front of Gensou. He smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, when my original body died, I should have had the magic to deal with it. Unfortunately, this afterimage of mine was created rather early. If you can't wait for it to grow up, then go and look for it. If you find it, your problems will be solved. However—"

Kuro adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, drawing out his words:

“As long as you stay by that child’s side, I think that even if you don’t go looking for him, you will naturally encounter the magic power of my true form.”

"Mr. Clow Reed, may I interpret this as you hiring bodyguards for your successor?"

The peach pastries were truly delicious. After popping the last one into his mouth, Genshou unceremoniously picked up the empty plate and handed it to Clow Reed. The magician, still smiling, snapped his fingers, refilled the plate with food, and continued:

"You could say that. It's good to have someone watching over things and leading the way, but the main thing is... to go easy on them..."

"Ok?"

Genshou paused for a moment, then looked up at Clow Reed. The magician smiled helplessly and said:

"Soon, that child may encounter a trial. The person in charge of the trial is not an outsider, nor is he a bad person. So if you happen to encounter that trial, please be patient and watch until the end. There will be no surprises."

"Have you already read through the 'script' once using divination?"

Gengo looked at Clow Reed with suspicion. This guy's appearance... if he were thrown into another movie set, he would definitely be the mastermind behind everything.

"Of course not, don't think of me as some kind of god. I'm just a mortal who will die."

Kuro Rido resumed his kind and benevolent smile, squinting at Gensou as he spoke:

"Moreover, there are guests from outside this world like you. No matter how powerful divination is, there are things it can't do. Besides, I'm just a phantom right now. After this meeting, it's questionable whether I can continue to exist."

"In that case, you'd better tell me the name of your successor as soon as possible. How am I supposed to find him if you don't tell me clearly?"
