And so, the night passed in a blur. Gensou sat down at the table and reluctantly put down the memory he was holding. It was the "Trigger" and "Metal" that he had used, but they were both broken. He tried to bless them, but the difficulty was too high. Only some of the higher-ups in the "Museum" knew the specific technology, but they obviously wouldn't help their enemy.

Yuanxiang brought this up today only as a last resort, since they're about to fight the Demon King, and having another method might be helpful.

"Knock Knock Knock..."

"Please come in."

Hearing the knock, Gengo called out as he put the memory chip into the drawer, but when he looked up, it was Kirisu Mafuyu.

“I’m worried,” Kirisu Mafuyu put down her bag and walked towards Gengo, saying, “The commotion that day was so great, I felt the tremors even in the city. And you’ve been missing for so long… Are you really okay?”

"Don't worry, Kirisu-sensei," Gensou stood up and greeted her, "I'm fine. After all, I don't want to die. But... there's another problem. You've come so early, you probably haven't eaten yet. I'll go get some. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

As Gengo spoke, he walked into the kitchen, and Kirisu Mafuyu did not refuse, intending to wait obediently on the sofa.

But at that moment, she suddenly felt uneasy, as if something was calling to her. She looked around and finally called Shengyuanxiang to come and see what was going on, since he was much more experienced than she was.

After hearing Kirisu Mafuyu's description, Gengo immediately realized that it was the feeling of being in sync with the memory. He pulled out a drawer, took out "Trigger" and "Metal", and placed them on the table.

Kirisu Mafuyu glanced at Gengo, and after receiving an encouraging look, she reached out to touch it. As soon as her hand touched it, a flash of light appeared on the "Trigger," but then it went silent. Thinking something had happened, Kirisu Mafuyu quickly withdrew her hand in fright. Gengo patted her shoulder reassuringly and then picked up the "Trigger."

Well, it feels quite subtle. I didn't expect that Kirisu-sensei's compatibility with "Trigger" was even higher than mine. Now that I think about it, it makes sense. Memory units that recognize people like "Joker" are rare. I snatched "Trigger" as soon as it was created, and I haven't really tested its compatibility with others.

"Don't worry, it's just that it gets along well with you."

Gengo explained everything about the memory to Kirisu Mafuyu. Kirisu Mafuyu looked at the memory in her hand with surprise. Although she was good at shooting games, she never thought she had the potential to be a marksman, and that she could even work with "Trigger".

They resonate with each other.

Upon hearing that the blue memory had been overloaded and destroyed, Kirisu Mafuyu immediately recalled the purple meteor that had shattered the meteor a year ago. Since then, no one had seen the blue form of Kamen Rider, either in the news or on forums.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Kirisu Mafuyu sincerely inquired, wishing she could help Genji reactivate this memory using this resonance. She felt heartbroken seeing her student bearing pressure and a profession that shouldn't be his age, but she was helpless in the face of her powerlessness.

"This... should... be left like this."

Gensho thought for a moment, then shook his head. The memory was a mysterious thing; it was hard to say whether it was technology or magic. In the past, he had encountered many absurd things during battles, such as when he had destroyed the memory, but the monster host could still use its power.

However, considering that the turmoil in Fuuto had just subsided and things were not yet peaceful, Gengo did not tell Kirisu Mafuyu about those things. She had no ability to fight, and giving her the memory might only bring her trouble.

However, Gengo did not expect that Kirisu Mafuyu's attitude was quite firm. She wanted to keep the "Trigger" memory with her, and maybe if the resonance lasted long enough, she could coax the memory. Gengo was both amused and exasperated, and had no choice but to quickly change the subject.

"What?! You've lost your memory?!"

035 Yuanxiang's mother, how is she?

"How...how could it be amnesia?!"

Kirisu Mafuyu slammed her hand on the table and stood up in shock. She mumbled several incoherent words before finally stopping, swallowing the fried egg in her mouth, and then exclaimed in disbelief as she stared at Genji, who was drinking porridge across from her. This kind of person, who only appeared in TV dramas, was actually right next to her?!

"Don't be nervous, so far it hasn't affected my real life."

Gengo gestured for Kirisu Mafuyu to calm down. He didn't recount the details of his weekly amnesia, only saying that his brain had suffered some damage in the explosion. After seeing Kirisu Mafuyu sit down, he continued calmly:

"But I've lost it after all, so sometimes I need you to help me cover for me, like last time at the hospital. By the way, I ran away from the hospital, did Uncle Mingtang have any problems with that?"

"Fortunately, he called to ask me about it."

Although Kirisu Mafuyu really wanted to debate with Gengo about the importance of losing her memory, she chose to answer Gengo's question first:

“I told him you can’t stay idle. I just ran into you strolling around the street, so I asked him to help you with your discharge procedures.”

"Very good, you are worthy of my teacher. Otherwise, Uncle Mingtang would have come to spank me."

At this point, Gengo sighed helplessly. After all, Meido Gomoto was a real fighter, and in his eyes, he seemed to always be a child. At this moment, Kirisu Mafuyu decided to talk to Gengo about his amnesia again. She still had some connections, and if that didn't work, she could go to Tokyo Grand Hospital for a thorough examination.

But before he could speak, Yuanxiang stood up, put on his coat and hat, and said with a smile:

"I'm going to find Nanoha. Teacher, you can leave your food there after you finish eating. I'll clean it up when I get back."

"Wait a minute!"

Kirisu Mafuyu was, after all, this detective's former teacher, so how could she not be familiar with his slippery footwork? But compared to Gengo, she was still a bit inexperienced. Before she could finish speaking, Gengo had already rushed out and closed the door. Kirisu Mafuyu was so angry that she wanted to follow him, but Gengo was no longer her student, so she had to give him face. She could only stomp her feet angrily a couple of times. Suddenly, she remembered something and angrily took away the "Trigger" memory.

Run? No matter how far you run, you'll still have to obediently come back to us!

Gengo was unaware of Kirisu Mafuyu's actions. He stood in front of the Takamachi family's door, rang the doorbell, and patiently waited for a response from inside. He had to admit that having a good neighbor really made life much more comfortable. Over the years, both his grandfather and he himself had been taken care of by the Takamachi family.

"Oh, it's the village! It's been so long since I've seen you visit."

The person who opened the door was Takamachi Nanoha's mother, Takamachi Momoko, a very gentle woman and one of the managers of Midori-ya Cafe, mainly responsible for making sweets. Ah, Gengo simply likes to eat peaches. This is just a coincidence. When Gengo was young, the Takamachi family often made jokes about this.

"Good morning, Aunt Takamachi. Is Nanoha home?"

"Yes, I stayed up late last night for some reason and haven't gotten up yet."

Seeing that Genji was still standing there, Takamachi Momoko pulled him inside, saying as they walked:

"I heard from Nanoha that you were hospitalized. I was planning to go see you with Shirou today. Are you alright?"

"It's alright, please don't worry, Uncle and Aunt. By the way, has Uncle Shirou already gone to work?"

Shirou Takamachi, Nanoha Takamachi's father, according to his grandfather, he used to be a bodyguard, almost died, and then he stopped working there and went back to Fuuto to open a shop. Now he seems to be a soccer team coach.

"Yeah, there's a match coming up, and he's doing his morning exercises with the kids right now. Hey, you've come at the right time. Wake Nanoha up for me, breakfast's getting cold."

"Ok."

Originally, he had come to ask Takamachi Nanoha for help, and since it involved the dimensional chat group, having some time alone together was naturally desirable. Genji agreed, then went upstairs with practiced ease, walked to Takamachi Nanoha's door, knocked twice, and heard her muttering inside, "Mom, let Nanoha sleep for five more minutes," before shaking his head helplessly and saying:

"Nanoha, it's me, Gensou."

"Mama Gensou, let Nanoha sleep some more... Eh!!!"

This kid really stayed up really late last night.

Genji listened to the chaotic commotion inside the room with a black line on his forehead. After two minutes, Nanoha Takamachi, covered in sweat, opened the door a crack, peeked out, and said shyly:

"Brother Yuanxiang, what brings you here? Wait, shouldn't you be at the hospital?"

"I need your help with something."

Yuanxiang wiped the sweat from her forehead with his thumb and whispered:

"To be precise, ask your group members for help. Ask them if any of them can create a small, magical contraption in a short time. The price is negotiable."

Yuanxiang quickly explained his needs, but even if there was no problem, this was just a precaution. If not, he would just use the custom-made craft flower.

"Okay, I'll check. If they have any, I'll send them to the firm."

Although she didn't know why he wanted this, she was someone he had raised, and she knew that Gengo was talking to her about serious matters, so she nodded seriously. Gengo smiled, reached out and touched her head, then flicked her forehead with his finger. Takamachi Nanoha exclaimed "Ouch!" but didn't protest anything, just stuck out her tongue. She knew that Gengo was scolding her for losing track of time while playing and not resting properly.

"Xiang, are you leaving already?"

"Ah, something urgent came up at the firm, so I won't stay any longer."

After going downstairs, Gengo said goodbye to Takamachi Momoko. Takamachi Momoko knew that Gengo needed to take care of himself, so she didn't try to stop him. She just stepped forward, straightened his collar, and said with a smile:

"If you don't have time to cook one day, just come here to eat. Don't be shy, everyone welcomes you and likes you."

"Haha, if I could come and freeload a meal, of course I wouldn't miss it. I have complete faith in Aunt Peach's cooking skills."

Gengo took off his hat, waved to Momoko Takamachi, and then returned to the office. Looking at the empty room, he raised an eyebrow and quickly checked the drawer. Sure enough, one memory module was missing.

I was careless; I was too busy dodging.

Yuanxiang rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. In the end, he couldn't escape the lecture.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Gensato? Please come and sign for this package."

"Okay, coming right away."

At this time, the items he ordered were also delivered. There were quite a few of them. Although he might not be able to use them all, it was always good to be prepared. Next, he would wait for Uncle Hutang to finish adjusting the lights before delivering them, and then the job would be done.

036 Battle Imminent

However, to Gengo's surprise, it was Takamachi Nanoha who came to his door first. She pushed open the door, looked around to make sure no one else was there, and then walked to Gengo's side. She pointed in front of her with one hand, as if touching something. Finally, she swiped her finger to the left, and a ball of light appeared out of thin air in front of her and landed on the table.

"This is the group red envelope feature."

After completing this operation, Nanoha Takamachi explained that this function can transfer small inanimate objects for free, and the 'magic flower' that Gensou requested was delivered through this function.

"Barbara happens to have something similar. Yuanxiang, could you take a look and see if it works?"

While explaining to Genji, Takamachi Nanoha picked up the box, inside which lay a crystal-like flower. Barbara had told her that the main ingredients of this flower were small lampwort, crystal cores, and luminous nectar. She wasn't very clear about the specific process, but the effect it produced was similar to Genji's requirements. The stronger the wind, the brighter it became, and it also had a faint floral fragrance, but if the wind wasn't strong enough, it would dim on its own.

Well, as expected of Mondstadt, which is protected by the wind god.

Yuanxiang fanned the crystal flower in various ways to test its sensitivity, and he was very satisfied with the results. It was much better than the handicraft, and the chance of it being exposed was much lower. It also felt very similar to a plant to the touch. Barbara even thoughtfully brought some gel to decorate the roots of the crystal flower.

"Please thank Miss Barbara for me, and ask her what she needs. I'll make sure she gets it when I get back."

Genji carefully put the things away and spoke earnestly to Nanoha Takamachi. Nanoha Takamachi nodded in agreement. Although Barbara had said that she hadn't spent much money on the flower and that Genji shouldn't worry about it, Nanoha Takamachi knew that her detective brother didn't like free things. Therefore, she decided to let Barbara and Genji discuss the matter later, and she would just act as a middleman.

"You brat! Oh? Nanoha's here too."

At that moment, Meidou Motomoto slammed open the door, intending to scold Gengo for leaving the hospital without permission. However, upon seeing Takamachi Nanoha there, his aggressive demeanor noticeably subsided. Unwilling to reprimand Gengo in front of the child, he pointed to the car outside and said:

“I brought the items. The blue boxes contain the refurbished goods, and the brown boxes contain the original stock. Give me the warehouse key, and I'll move them there for you.”

"No, Uncle Mingtang, just leave it at the office. They'll come here to move it later."

As Gensou spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and began working. Meidou Gomoto didn't say anything either. He had been thinking about this deal all along. When Gensou disappeared, he tried to find the girl named 'Kocho Shinobu', but to no avail. He hoped that she could understand Gensou's situation and not ask for too much breach of contract fee.

Nanoha Takamachi couldn't move those things, so she obediently poured water and waited for them to finish. After the small truck was emptied, Motomoto gulped down a glass of warm water, waved his hand, and left. Genji, however, showed no sign of stopping. He closed the door, knocked twice under Nanoha Takamachi's questioning gaze, and then opened it again. The view outside the door instantly transformed into a rustic courtyard, which shocked Nanoha Takamachi so much that she jumped up from the sofa.

Outside the door, the Demon Slayer Corps members were already prepared, steadily catching the boxes thrown by Gengo and passing them back like an assembly line. During this time, Gengo had also learned a thing or two: as long as he didn't go through, it wouldn't count as one of his daily time travel attempts.

But this isn't a game, where you can exploit bugs to farm items infinitely. Even though I haven't found them yet, time travel will inevitably consume some kind of energy. I hope it can last until I finish delivering the goods.

In the end, the result was still good. After delivering the box, the door was not closed yet, but it was clear that there was a slight distortion on the door frame. In order to avoid any strange or inexplicable things happening when he went over, Gengo chose to close the door and start over, while also giving Takamachi Nanoha a few words of advice.

"Brother Yuanxiang, is this the door that Sister Butterfly came from?"

Nanoha Takamachi ran to Gengo's side and poked at the door. Although she had heard about it before, she still found it incredible after seeing it with her own eyes. It seemed much more convenient than her own dimensional group.

“That’s right. I’m going to help your sister Butterfly with her next task. If anyone asks before I get back, just say I went out to deliver goods.”

Gengo picked up a wide-brimmed hat, flicked it casually, smiled at Nanoha Takamachi, and then took the box Barbara had given him and went to the Demon Slayer Corps' base.

The reason he left so confidently was mainly because he had fought so many monsters and had gained some experience. He had just caused such a commotion and his life was in danger. If there were still any remnants of the 'Museum' in Fengdu, they would definitely be eager to find someone to lure him out and see what the situation was.

But based on past experience, every time rumors circulate that Kamen Rider is dead...
