Gengo smiled and ruffled the hair of Yagami Hayate, who had come to open the door, then walked in without ceremony, poured himself a cup of tea, and said:

"It felt like opening the door and seeing the Big Bad Wolf."

"Of course I'm surprised, after all, Gensou-nii is the kind of person who sometimes can't be invited even when I ask him to."

Hayate Yagami looked at Genji with a wistful expression, a hint of resentment on his face causing the boy to cough uncomfortably as he explained:

"I can't help it. It just doesn't feel right to have a child put aside her studies to entertain me. Besides, we don't live far apart. You can come find me whenever you want to play. Here, this is Linfuse's watch. It's been repaired. You can give it to her later."

"Oh, so that's why you came."

Hayate Yagami took the watch and muttered something under his breath. Genji, of course, heard him clearly and nodded, saying:

"Yeah, even though Linfus doesn't use it much, it can't just stay with me forever, right? Hmm... Gale?"

"........"

Receiving no response, Genji tilted his head and glanced at his side. Yagami Hayate, as if in a huff, turned his head away, revealing a pretty pair of twin tails to Genji. The boy blinked, then immediately understood, bent down, and whispered in Yagami Hayate's ear:

"Well~~ of course, I also came to see a cute child, but that child doesn't seem to be... um!"

Before Gengo could finish speaking, Hayate Yagami turned around and slapped his arm in an annoyed tone. Gengo, in turn, went overboard with the gesture, clutching his stomach and collapsing onto the sofa, looking as if to say, "You hurt me, and you won't be okay until you comfort me."

"I always feel like Yuanxiang-nii is sometimes even more childish than me..."

"Nonsense, I'm a very reliable older brother."

Hearing Hayate Yagami's sarcastic remarks, Gengo sat up straight with a jolt, retorted, then stood up and gently pinched the little guy's nose, saying:

"I'll be leaving now. Now that I think about it, I haven't visited Mr. Godai yet. I hope he's not traveling. Little Gale, if you have time, remember to come visit me!"

"Okay, I understand. Yuanxiang is such a busy person."

Hayate Yagami didn't seem too keen on continuing the conversation, then suddenly hugged Gensou, snuggled against him, and looked up at him with a bright smile, saying:

"Next time, I want Brother Yuanxiang to take me to the amusement park."

"No problem, I know that place very well."

Gengo smiled and gave a thumbs-up in agreement, then strode away from the Yagami residence. On his way back to the agency, his phone rang; it was a call from Kirisu Mafuyu.

"Hey, old man Kirisu..."

"Aww~~ Hehe, darling, have you missed me~~~"

Hearing Kirisu Mafuyu's cloyingly sweet tone, as if she were lying in honey, Gengo couldn't help but get goosebumps. He rubbed them as he turned towards a secluded spot, saying in an even sweeter tone:

"Of course I miss you! Without you, I feel like life has no meaning. Ah~~~ Even when I look at the moon, I feel like your face is on it~~"

'Wow.....'

So, is Kirisu-sensei being pressured by her family to get married again?

Listening to the other sounds coming from the other end of the phone, Yuanxiang nodded knowingly with a blank expression. Needless to say, his teacher was probably being pressured by his family, so he started making up lies to cover for him.

"I miss you too, darling. Haven't you finished your work yet? When are you coming back~~~"

"My dear, don't worry. I'm working hard for our future. If our love is meant to last, why should we be together every day? You must wait for me."

I want to record it.....

Honestly, for an ice queen like Kirisu Mafuyu to say something like that is simply outrageous. Gengo had already figured out how to make a joke about it, but then he thought, Kirisu-sensei has already worked so hard, so he shouldn't cause her any more trouble. After all, I'm her good student, not afraid of being stabbed to death by that angry woman.

"Yes! I will definitely wait for you to come back. Good luck, Magili."

Well, what kind of names have you come up with?

Gensou, suppressing the urge to retort, chimed in:

"Okay, no problem, trust me, Xiaodongdong~~~"

'beep'

I think Professor Kirisu should treat me to a meal when he gets back.

After hanging up the phone, Yuanxiang silently clutched his heart, feeling that his integrity had been unknowingly eroded once again.

Speaking of which, why doesn't a beauty like Kirisu-sensei have any suitors? Is it because she's too aloof? Ugh, what a bunch of guys who have the desire but not the courage.

Gengo silently complained to himself, pushed open the door of the agency, and then turned around and went to the world where Godai Yusuke was. However, he still couldn't find the Kamen Rider senior. According to Ichijo Kaoru, Mr. Godai did not go on a trip, but said that he went to find a suitable place to go into seclusion to improve himself.

It seems the last battle really spurred Mr. Godai on.

Although they didn't find Godai Yusuke, since Inspector Ichijo said Mr. Godai is fine, then he must be fine, but...

As he was leaving the police station, Gengo heard an interesting anecdote about Officer Kaoru Ichijo: Officer Ichijo had a ghost that would appear whenever he was in danger while dealing with unidentified life forms and beat them to a pulp.

EMMM......I think they're referring to Mr. Godai.

Yuanxiang returned to the office with a smile, stroking his chin. He then flipped through the Buddhist scriptures he had bought from a street stall and continued his meticulous attempts. However, he had to admit that this was quite a troublesome matter. After eliminating the Ursus inner guards, the noise of those evil thoughts was like tinnitus. He couldn't hear them during normal activities, but they would nag and wouldn't listen when things were quiet. Although he could get used to it and ignore it, it still existed nonetheless.

Furthermore, Uncle Takamachi is no longer able to be his sparring partner, and often he has to practice on the wooden dummy by himself, which is a feedback method that Gengo finds very difficult to adapt to.

Take it slow. Once this month is over, Tsukasa Kadoya should be here. Then we can have a sparring match with him.

Yuanxiang sat cross-legged, flipping through the pages of the book listlessly. To be honest, these things were really of little use; he felt he might as well go to sleep.

Ok?

Just as Yuanxiang was feeling bored, the door suddenly started flashing. He blinked curiously, feeling as if he was going to the 9-to-5 brothel, not someone coming over, but himself going over.

Whew, I have a feeling something interesting is about to happen.

Gengo couldn't wait to walk through the door, putting on his shoes as he went. The moment he passed through, Gengo felt a stinging sensation all over his body, as if something was trying to burrow into his body through his skin. But that was all; there were no other changes, and it didn't hinder Gengo's movements.

Where is this place? Is anyone here?

Looking around, Yuanxiang realized that he was in the middle of a mountain range, with lush trees, crystal-clear streams, blue skies and white clouds, filled with the freshness of nature.

However... the wind here always seems to have something extra about it.

Gensho reached out and rubbed his hands together in the air. He vaguely realized that the air in this world might contain some kind of substance different from what he was used to. After all, even 'Cyclone' wasn't interested in the wind here.

So, what's the deal with my front door?

Genji tilted his head in confusion. At first, he thought he had gotten lucky and benefited from Nanoha's influence, but now it seemed that was definitely not the case. After all, he had never heard of that chat group having this function.

We'll try to find out more later. So far, it's been pretty effective, but what's the point of it leading itself here? This really doesn't look like a place where anyone lives.

Along the path blocked by green grass, Yuanxiang admired the scenery as he climbed up. He had to admit that he had never seen such beautiful mountain scenery before. Even if he couldn't find anyone, it was still a great place to come and have some fun.

Ok?

On the way up the mountain, Gensou suddenly sensed a strange energy fluctuation. He subconsciously walked towards the woods to the east, parted the thick grass, and found a fiery red feather lying there. However, it was not a real wing, but rather a manifestation of energy. Moreover, it was very different from others. To put it another way, it felt as if it did not exist originally, and only appeared after he got close. If he had not just used the power of 'Cyclone' to be alert to changes in the surroundings, he would not have noticed it at all.

Is this why the 'door' led me here?

Gengo picked up the feather, and the instant he did, he felt a resonant attraction emanating from it, pulling him as if he were about to fall into some kind of illusion. After hesitating for a moment, Gengo gave up resisting and let the power of the feather take effect.

"Good, that's it, push harder!"

With a flash of light, Yuanxiang found himself in this illusion. The environment he was in was no longer a quiet mountain range, but a martial arts school. In front of Yuanxiang, a gray-haired, blue-eyed girl in a training uniform was earnestly practicing her punches according to the coach's commands. Her punches were powerful and forceful, but Yuanxiang felt that he could easily defeat her with both hands.

"Alright, that's enough practice for today. You should go to school now."

"okay."

The girl wiped her sweat, nodded to the coach, and said:

"I'll pack up and go to school. Dad, you go ahead and get busy too."

Dad? Were we family all along?

Gensho touched his chin with his fingernail, then waved and shouted:

Hey, excuse me, where is this place?

However, he received no response, and the girl, wiping her sweat as she headed back to her room to change, simply walked right through him and continued forward.

Hmm... just images?

Yuanxiang unexpectedly followed beside the girl, constantly poking at her hair with his hand, though of course, he couldn't actually touch her.

'Buzz.....'

Just then, Gensou suddenly noticed a strange noise coming from this image space, and it began to shake violently. Then, his vision blurred again, and Gensou was back in the mountains. The feather in his hand began to emit specks of light, as if it was about to dissipate.

This...this...this...I've got it.

Gensou frantically tried to stabilize the feather, but to no avail. Finally, a flash of inspiration struck him. He gently shook his left hand, and the power of 'blankness' made it transparent. The feather naturally merged into it, and with the help of Gensou's 'blankness', it stopped dispersing and stabilized again.

Is it really because of the 'blank space'?

Upon entering that image space, Yuanxiang realized that it was not something he could easily access or be inspired by, because it was clearly set up by someone using special means. After thinking about it, the only thing that could be related to it was this 'blank space'.

Since that's the case, let's go look for some other feathers. Honestly, who set this up? The maintenance afterwards was far too careless. Let me, a guy with nothing better to do, lend you a hand.

Gensou took out 'Cyclone' and focused more intently on sensing the changes in energy around him. Soon, he found another feather by the stream. However, this time, the feather did not pull him into the image space when he touched it. It felt as if there was a seal on it, preventing Gensou from peering into it.

Yuanxiang didn't care. He casually tossed the feather into his left hand to avoid taking up space. It has to be said that this was a new function he had discovered. In the future, if he encountered anything non-physical, he could try to put it in here to store it. However, he also had to consider the issue of 'quantity'. If he stored too much, it would lead to the use of too much 'blankness' power, and he would lose his memory again.

Furthermore, this method would definitely not work in Fengdu. If this method were used, I'm afraid I would be directly connected to 'Earth'.

Haha... Although it's not good to keep bothering people like this, Philip, I'm afraid I can only ask you to solve my current situation.

With mixed feelings, Yuanxiang sighed and continued walking forward. But after walking for a short while, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his left hand. He looked down and saw the feather that had been sealed begin to flicker, like a light bulb about to malfunction in a horror movie. Just as Yuanxiang was about to take it out, the feather suddenly burst into light, and then Yuanxiang appeared in a new space.

Wait, what's going on?

Genshou was full of questions. How could the seal suddenly fail? 'Blankness' doesn't have the ability to actively assimilate other things, except for me.

Unable to understand, utterly unable to understand, Gensho lay there deep in thought, clutching his hair, when...

"Hua, hurry, hurry, bring all those seashells over here!"

On the beach not far away, a girl dressed rather boldly in white with sleeves resembling flowing water greeted her white-haired companion with reddish hair, who was wearing a dress similar to a cheongsam. Her bare, fair legs were playfully splashing in the seawater. Yuanxiang also noticed that not far from this girl, there was another girl with a very similar face and dressed exactly the same, only in a different color, playing in the mud with great interest.

"Cang Xuan, what do you need so many seashells for?"

The girl with red hair and white hair walked over with a bag and asked in confusion. Yuanxiang, who was still troubled by the 'seal', glanced at her subconsciously, then looked back to continue thinking. But immediately, he widened his eyes and looked at the white-haired girl seriously. How to put it, apart from the hair color, this girl looked exactly like the girl who had just been practicing martial arts. Were they twins?

"Of course, it's about saving money!"

The girl named Cangxuan revealed a greedy smile, waving her long sleeves as she said:

"This is the early days of civilization, and there is no fixed currency for transactions. So, if you handle things well, these seashells can be a lot of money."

"Hua, Hua, ah, no, I should call you Red Kite now."
