I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

"This is something your grandfather left behind."

Just as Gengo was about to ask a question, he heard Takamachi Shirou's words. He stopped in his tracks, silently waiting for him to continue. Takamachi Shirou, looking at the sake bottle with reminiscent eyes, said:

"This wine was brewed by an old winemaker at your grandfather's request, saying that it would be brought out and drunk with you when you came of age, but... it's a pity..."

"Uncle Takamachi, are you sure you haven't got my birthday wrong?"

Gengo chuckled as he watched Takamachi Shirou's retreating figure and said:

Christmas isn't here yet.

"Of course I wouldn't forget your birthday, but you're a remarkable man now, so even if Mr. Zhuang Ji were still here, he would probably agree to bring out this wine to drink earlier."

"...Thank you, Uncle Takamachi."

Genji was silent for a moment, then expressed his sincere gratitude. Takamachi Shirou walked over, gently patted the boy's shoulder, and while observing his expression, asked with a smile:

"You're recovering well. How are things? Have you had your troubles resolved by the seniors?"

???

Hearing this, Gengo blinked in confusion, while Takamachi Shirou, who had watched Gengo grow up, understood his subtle gestures and couldn't help but whisper:

"Have you forgotten? It happened in my house..."

Takamachi Shirou recounted what had happened a while ago in a gentle tone, while Genji scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, coughed, and whispered:

"Um... I've been so busy lately, I completely forgot..."

"Ha...you, well, I believe you have your own judgment, so I won't say any more. Remember to come over for dinner sometime, your Aunt Peach will be happy to entertain you."

"Hehe, Uncle Takamachi, don't worry about that."

Gensho smiled brightly, gave him a thumbs up, and said:

"I won't stand on ceremony with you."

"Haha, you're welcome. I'm leaving now, no need to see me off."

Takamachi Shirou left the office, closing the door behind him. Gengo didn't bother with formalities to see him off. He slowly walked to the sofa, crossed his hands to support his chin, and silently stared at the bottle of wine. After a long silence, he shook his head with a wry smile. In the past, he might have been heartbroken by this unexpected gift, but now... what a pity, what a pity...

Gengo rubbed his cheek with a half-smile, got up and put the wine in the basement, then turned and walked to his desk, taking out the gray knight card from the drawer. To be honest, he really didn't expect that he would forget such an important thing. According to Tsukasa Kadoya, he could use this card to travel to the world where Shotaro-senpai and Philip-senpai were.

That was a huge help.

Feeling the power within the card, Genji breathed a sigh of relief. As fellow users of the Gaia Memory, he believed that his two seniors could help him.

However, before I could appear, I still had some things to take care of.

Yuanxiang, do you still remember that Fengdu was also a turbulent place? It seems that a battle is inevitable on this journey. In that case, Wangcai's role cannot be ignored.

"Hmm... this thing should only have a problem with the energy supply."

After a moment, Linfs examined the mechanical raven, carefully analyzed it with magic, and arrived at the answer. She poked Wangcai's belly and whispered:

"It seems that this part of the energy reservoir has been subjected to a strong external force, causing it to be unable to store energy. However, it is not difficult to repair it. Just give me some time; it's just a simple replacement."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

According to Linfs, it must have been locked by the Earth's winds when it flew back with her, forcibly removing the Honkai energy that was the driving force, which caused the damage. Fortunately, this Fusion Control Knight was able to repair it, otherwise, Genji really wouldn't know what to do.

“Mr. Gensou, this is based on the barrier generator I gave you, right?”

About ten minutes later, Linfs came out of the room with the mechanical raven. As she activated it, she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What an amazing technique! If I hadn't opened it myself, I almost wouldn't have recognized it. It's truly a masterpiece. Mr. Gensho, do you know how that person managed to do this?"

"Ah... this... um... I'll ask about it when I have time. To be honest, I don't know how it's done either."

Gensho awkwardly touched the back of his neck. To be honest, he'd completely forgotten who made this thing...

"I'm sorry, I got a little excited."

Linfuse smiled sheepishly and quickly said to Gensou:

“Mr. Gensho, I was just curious. Please don’t take it to heart. Please get some rest during this time.”

"It's nothing, it's just going out for a walk, what kind of trouble could possibly happen?"

Genji waved his hand dismissively. Anyway, he was going to Changkong City to check on Raiden Mei's situation and try to extract the Herrscher core from her body. If he happened to run into that red-eyed girl, he would just casually ask her about it.

But when she heard him say that, Linfs's expression was quite strange. How should I put it, Mr. Gengo, I always feel that even if you stay at home, trouble will come looking for you, let alone if you go out on your own initiative.

"Speaking of which, where's Hayate? Did he go out with Nanoha?"

I didn't see Nanoha Takamachi in Gengo today, nor did I see Hayate Yagami here. Knowing my little sister's personality, she's probably off having fun.

"Hmm, Nanoha dragged her master out early this morning. They must have a very full schedule today."

Linfs answered with a smile, but as she spoke, she couldn't help but think of the red orb with several cracks in Takamachi Nanoha's hand. If she remembered correctly, that magical artifact was called 'Heart of the Rising Sun'...

"Go ahead and play. This is the age for having lots of fun. I'm leaving now. Thank you for fixing this little guy."

Yuanxiang patted his leg, stood up, patted Wangcai to express his gratitude, and then returned to the office before heading to Changkong City.

"Oh? Is this your place?"

The source of the journey

"I'm sorry I came without giving you prior notice. Please forgive my rudeness."

"Mr. Gensou! Are you alright now?"

Raiden Mei, of course, wouldn't blame Gengo for this. She quickly put down the vegetables she was holding, wiping her hands on her apron as she hurried over to Gengo's side, examining his body. Gengo cooperated by opening his arms, turning around, and then smilingly flashing a peace sign at the cook. Raiden Mei breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:

"That's great! When I saw so much blood splattering out, I thought you..."

"Hmph, you seem to underestimate me."

Yuanxiang casually picked up a bag of snacks, eating as he spoke:

"Those energy blades couldn't even break through my defense, okay... huh?"

At this moment, Yuanxiang noticed the clothes drying on the balcony. They were all women's clothing, with very different styles, clearly not belonging to one person. He immediately paused in his snacking and lowered his voice to say:

"Are you sharing an apartment?"

"No, this is the school dormitory."

Seeing Gensou's expression, Raiden Mei hurriedly explained that after he left, she, Seele, and Bronya were all taken back for examination by Himeko Murata, who wielded the ship-slaying sword. Based on their experiences, they were recommended to attend an academy called 'St. Freya'. After careful consideration, Raiden Mei accepted the invitation and became one of the transfer students.

"St. Freya? A school that specializes in training Valkyries to fight against the Honkai?"

Gensou nodded and whispered that he understood Raiden Mei's thoughts. She was naturally worried that if her Herrscher consciousness were to awaken one day, she would harm others, which was why she came here, indirectly putting herself in a cage.

"Mr. Gengo, um... do you really have a way to dispose of the Herrscher core?"

Raiden Mei anxiously awaited Gengo's reply. Although she had narrowly escaped the physical examination at St. Freya Academy, she had already decided that if Gengo couldn't resolve her situation, she would proactively report the matter of the Herrscher Core and let the school handle it. In any case, she didn't want to hurt anyone else.

"Of course, that's why I'm here today to deal with this."

Yuanxiang placed the snacks down, wiped his fingers on his apron, and said while rolling up his sleeves:

"Let's find a place where we won't be disturbed, and I'll try to remove it from your body."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Upon hearing this answer, Raiden Mei was so excited that she almost burst into tears. During this time, the pressure brought by the 'Herrscher' had made it almost difficult for her to breathe. After calming herself down a bit, she pulled Genji into her room and locked the door. Although the place she chose seemed a bit random, it was the place in the school where Raiden Mei could think of where she would be least likely to be discovered or disturbed.

"Bear with it, it might hurt a little."

After saying that, Gengo took out 'Cyclone' and placed his hand on Raiden Mei's shoulder, beginning the assimilation process. In that instant, Raiden Mei felt as if countless ants were crawling and biting her body. She bit her lip tightly and swallowed all the sounds that were rising in her throat.

Is this the core of the Herrscher?

Gengo looked at the deep purple gem inside Raiden Mei's chest and thought to himself, "I have to say, this thing is quite sturdy." Gengo tried to assimilate it, but the resistance it generated was still quite stubborn. The Herrscher consciousness that he had shattered seemed to be putting up a last-ditch resistance.

"Well...."

At this moment, Raiden Mei couldn't help but let out a painful groan. It's understandable, since it's like a battle is being fought inside her body, and the pain has been greatly reduced by the 'datafication'.

Let's try something different.

Genji raised his other hand, activated the power of 'Blank', aimed at the Herrscher core, and inserted it directly. The 'Blank' arm immediately passed through Raiden Mei's chest, and the Herrscher core was located in the middle of the forearm. The extremely strong inclusiveness of 'Blank' made the Herrscher core unaware that its surrounding environment had changed.

After completing this step, Genji focused intently, slowed his breathing, and suddenly burst forth, pulling the Herrscher core out of the blank arm. At the same time, he quickly restored Raiden Mei's body, and before that, he also left a portion of the 'blank' power in her chest.

In this way, even if her body suffers defects due to the disappearance of the Herrscher core, the power of 'blankness' will be converted and adapted to complete the data restoration, so it seems that Raiden Mei's life will not be in danger.

*Sizzle!*

As the Herrscher core was transferred into Gengo's body, the Herrscher consciousness hidden within frantically tried to invade Gengo's soul and seize control of the body. However, Gengo made no attempt to stop it, allowing the Herrscher consciousness to run rampant. When it came into contact with the sealed evil thoughts, Gengo heard the Herrscher let out a frenzied howl similar to Koschitch's. He casually tossed the Herrscher consciousness into the body and sealed it as well, then looked at the magnificent purple patterns on his arm and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Was it successful?"

"Ah."

Noticing Raiden Mei's tense gaze, Genji answered softly. At the same time, he activated Ripple, erasing the traces of Honkai energy erosion and stabilizing the unclaimed Herrscher core. Then, Genji glanced at the girl before him, smiled, and used his hand as a knife to carve the Herrscher core from his arm. He waved it at Raiden Mei and said softly:

"Young lady, do you crave power?"

223 Didn't you two go to get engaged?

"Eh?!"

Raiden Mei, who had just taken out a bandage to bandage Gensou's wound, understood what Gensou meant. She blinked blankly, then subconsciously shook her head vigorously. She had finally managed to get this thing out, so how could she put it back into her body in the blink of an eye?

"Then I'll take it back and destroy it."

This Herrscher core is currently unclaimed. Although the Honkai energy within it is extremely corrosive, it is not unbearable for Raiden Mei, whose body was chosen by the Honkai. This is why Gengo wanted her to try accepting this power. However, since Raiden Mei doesn't like it and there are indeed risks involved, Gengo plans to use the winds of Earth to destroy it. After all, he already has a lot of bad things sealed within him, and adding this thing in would make him feel like he's raising a venomous insect.

However, at this moment, Raiden Mei stopped Gengo. During her studies at St. Freya Academy, she had learned a lot about Herrschers, including the uniqueness of the Herrscher core. In short, as long as the Herrscher core in Gengo's hand was still there, no new core of the same kind would be born.

"So you're going to hand this over to the school?"

Gensou looked at the Herrscher Core in his hand and said softly, as if tossing a glass marble:

“If you hand it in directly like this, it might cause some trouble. Let me do it. I’ll throw it away and run, and no one will be able to find it. Just tell me the location of the principal’s office.”

"Well... then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Gengo."

The more Raiden Mei learned, the more she understood the horror of the Honkai and the Herrschers. After much deliberation, she felt that Genji's swift and decisive approach was quite reliable. She earnestly pointed out the location of the principal's office to Genji, but then paused and looked at Genji sincerely, asking:

"Mr. Gensou, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"If you have time, please keep an eye out for any news related to 'Hua' for me."
