“I am saddened for Mr. Sangdao.”
Kanae Kocho composed herself and said softly:
"Kuwashima Jigoro was Inatama Kaigaku's teacher. Inatama Kaigaku became a demon, and as his teacher, he had to take responsibility and commit seppuku... Kuwashima, as a former Hashira... was a very good person... I never expected him to..."
"Ha... seppuku?"
Genji murmured with a somewhat subtle expression, paused for a moment, then gently touched Kanae's arm and said:
You came to greet me at the door because you wanted to
"Um....."
Kanae Kocho nodded, sighed, and said:
"I really can't sit still. Why... Mr. Kuwashima was so good to him, why did he have to become a ghost? Didn't he ever consider the feelings of those around him?"
"Ha ha....."
Gensho simply chuckled dryly in response. This kind of thing is actually quite common; at least most of the weirdos he's dealt with are like that.
"Then you can say that Inatama Kaigaku was controlled by the Blood Demon Art. After obtaining the information, Kokushibo killed him and then had another demon use the Blood Demon Art to eat his corpse, thus gaining his appearance and abilities."
Yuanxiang thought for a moment and then gave his suggestion:
"Anyway, I'm the only one who knows the situation in Spider Mountain. If you want to cover this up, I can cooperate completely, but there will be risks involved. How you do it is up to you."
After saying that, Yuanxiang didn't offer any further suggestions. As he always said, it's best to mind your own business and not get involved in other people's family affairs.
Kanae Kocho remained calm, but when she entered the secret room and faced the Pillars, she spoke first about Kaigaku Inatama's situation. She still chose Gengo's suggestion, which was expected, as Gengo was helping her as previously agreed.
After hearing these words, the Pillars present remained silent for a few moments before unanimously ignoring the "cause of death" of Inatama Kaigaku. It seemed that they did not want the old man who had devoted almost all his efforts to the Demon Slayer Corps to end his life in that way, especially with the final victory just around the corner.
The tacit approval from everyone relieved Kanae Butterfly. She looked gratefully at Gengo, who was already discussing the follow-up plan with Gyomei Himejima. After all, the Sun Lamp had been delivered, and it was time to deal with the Spider Mountain.
The battle was finally scheduled for tonight. During the day, the mountain was only infested with small, insignificant creatures, a fact the Demon Slayer Corps had already ascertained.
After the discussion ended, Himejima Gyomei let out a heavy sigh.
As Himejima Gyomei felt the two gusts of wind rushing past him, and heard Kocho Shinobu's angry shouts as she pursued Genji, he clasped his hands together, deeply moved:
As expected of Mr. Gensho, he remains calm and composed no matter what, and is even willing to sacrifice himself to ease everyone's tension. Ren, please go easy on him for his sake.
As it turns out, even someone like Gyomei Himejima, who was like a father to him and a brother to him, was unwilling to provoke Shinobu Kocho.
"I already told you, I didn't mean anything by it, I just went to check on you, why are you so angry!"
Outside the base, Genji and Shinobu ran around a large tree. He complained to Shinobu helplessly, but the little girl wouldn't give up and said:
"You're definitely thinking something bad, look at me like that... Confess now!!"
Butterfly huffed and puffed, already distressed by his amnesia, and now this guy was toying with her like this. She couldn't let him get away with it!
As Genji and Shinobu continued their circling, Genji suddenly felt something move in his arms. Then, the "Joker" Memory flew out, landed in a tree, and entered the hand of a man in a white trench coat. The man whistled, looked the "Joker" Memory over with satisfaction, and said with a smile:
"This is truly a wonderful treasure. I'll accept it without hesitation. Thank you."

"Don't run!"
Upon seeing the memory stolen, Shinobu Kocho instinctively wanted to help Gengo retrieve it, but just as she was about to draw her sword, she suddenly remembered Gengo's demonstration that night, so she stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Gengo.
Genji's reaction was exactly what she expected. He calmly opened his hand, and then Shinobu saw the white-clad man standing on the tree trying to escape slip and fall to the ground with a 'thud'. The memory was released from his hand and landed steadily in Genji's hand.
"Who are you? Judging from your attire, you're probably not a local."
Gengo put the memory back into his coat and stared at the man, asking him a question. At that moment, Shinobu Kocho, who was standing to the side, saw the man's finger twitch and the ring on it flash with light. Then, the memory flew out again and he caught it in his hand, but the ring turned into specks of light and disappeared.
"Honestly, these treasure hunting tools are really valuable. Now I'm at a bit of a loss. Oh well, I'll take your treasure. Bye-bye~~"
After obtaining the item, the man in white nimbly leaped up, muttering a pained expression, then gave Yuanxiang a nonchalant smile. At that moment, Yuanxiang opened his hand again, and the man in white flicked it back, defiantly waving his finger at Yuanxiang, and said with a smile:
"It's no use, it was just my mistake. You... hey?!"
Suddenly, the man in white felt a strong force coming from his hand. As a professional thief, how could he let go of the treasure he had already obtained? So, in the next instant, he was carried like a kite by the tightly gripped memory and flew to Yuanxiang's front. The moment his fist landed in Yuanxiang's palm, he was dumbfounded. He had never seen a treasure that recognized its master like this before.
On the other side, to be honest, Genji was also a bit stunned. Although the ace would eventually return to his hands, it was really something to see him rush back like this.
But no matter what, I still made a profit.
Yuanxiang returned the white-clad man's smile with the same one. The man's face darkened, and he tried to kick him, but Yuanxiang pressed him back to the ground by stepping on his instep. He then threw a punch at the man's face, but before he could, Yuanxiang had already slammed his head into the man's nose. With a loud 'whoosh' inside his head, the man's consciousness immediately went blank for a few breaths.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gengo delivered a powerful punch to his stomach, then grabbed his neck with both hands, spun him around like a top, and slammed his wrists to the ground. His body's instincts made him release the 'Joker' memory.
At that moment, Yuanxiang suddenly felt his hand go empty. The white-clad man, who had been firmly suppressed by him, had escaped from his grasp and teleported to a tree not far away.
Is it another treasure?
Gengo gave him a surprised look, then waved to Shinobu Kocho, signaling her to hide. When he was suppressing that man, he had sensed the strange pistol tucked behind the man's waist. At this distance, it was still too dangerous for Shinobu Kocho.
"Another one. You've made me lose another treasure."
The man in white clutched his stomach, glaring resentfully at Yuanxiang. He slowly drew his pistol, then pulled a card from a storage box at his waist, and whispered:
"Today, you have to hand over your treasure whether you like it or not!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he inserted the card into the front terminal of the gun, pushed it forward, and accompanied by a sound effect similar to a police siren, a magnetic voice rang out from the gun:
'KamenRide....'
"Henshin!"
'Diend!'
The man in white raised his hand, slammed the plate down towards the sky, and shouted loudly. Immediately, a mark resembling a QR code appeared on his head. Three phantoms, red, blue, and green, flickered and lingered on his body before merging into one. At the same time, the QR code dispersed and transformed into steel plate modules of varying lengths, piercing through his head. Then, a blue color emerged on his black body, and the gun in his hand was immediately pointed at Yuanxiang.
Kamen Rider Diend? I didn't expect that.
Gengo dodged the incoming energy blast, but just as he was about to pull out the Lost Driver, Diend's speed suddenly increased. Shinobu Kocho didn't even see his movement before she appeared behind Gengo, extending her arm as if to strangle him from behind.
However, Gengo's reaction to the crisis can be said to be engraved in his DNA. The moment Diend reached out, he resonated with the 'Joker' memory. Purple-black flames surged out from his coat and clung to his body. The scorching temperature forced Diend to retreat and avoid it.
But at the same time, a deep, deadly sound rang out from the flames. The shattered warrior burst out of the flames, took a step, and kicked straight at the unsuspecting Dined. He was caught off guard and took the hit, crashing into an ancient tree and falling to the ground. He opened his mouth, closed his eyes, and deactivated his transformation.
I was careless; I didn't expect him to be so fast...
The man in white clutched his chest in pain, his blood churning and making him feel like he was about to vomit blood. If it weren't for his sturdy armor, he probably would have already passed out.
"You bastard... don't think you've won just because of this!"
Seeing Gengo approaching step by step, the man in white roared and pulled the trigger. Gengo rushed forward to try to interrupt, but the three afterimages bought the man in white some time, allowing him to transform again. He used his speed to create distance between himself and Gengo, then took out two cards from a storage box on his waist, inserted them into the terminal at the front of the pistol, and pulled the trigger. Two sets of afterimages appeared, two Kamen Riders that Gengo had never met before, blocking his way.
Interesting... Summoner?
Gensou flicked his hand, and flames gathered on his limbs. Although the armor was currently overwhelmed, it seemed that this had also released some kind of restriction. The charged-up ultimate move that usually took a considerable amount of time to complete was now rapidly taking shape.
Diend also saw the killing move that Gengo was preparing, and told his two subordinates to fly a kite. But the next second, in the accelerated world, he saw Gengo dragging a flame tail, easily avoiding the two summoned knights, and heading straight for him.
He tried to escape, but Gensou's moves suddenly changed, and Diend was hit by Gensou's deadly side kick again. The violent explosion echoed through the forest, and the man in white rolled out of the smoke, crashing into a rock beside him, groaning with his mouth open and eyes closed.
Yuanxiang calmly clapped his hands and clicked his tongue in disdain. "At such close range, you still want to fly a kite? Do you underestimate me or do you not know the meaning of death?"
Just as he was about to take the man in white to the base for a thorough interrogation, a strange engine sound rang out beside them, and a very familiar figure appeared before Genji and Shinobu Kocho.
041 Tsukasa Kadoya
Red compound eyes, deep purple borders, and a deep red gem embedded in the center of the silver-white horns in the shape of a 'W'... This incredibly familiar look is undoubtedly Kamen Rider 'Joker'. Apart from the belt around his waist, there is almost no difference in any other part.
Shinobu Kocho's eyes widened, but before she could ask Genji anything, she sensed the murderous aura emanating from him. Purple-black flames burst forth from every gap in his armor, instantly turning Genji into a torch, as if he were fighting to the death.
Genji did indeed have this plan. The reason was simple: although he didn't know the identity of this 'Joker', there was only one of each type of memory created by the museum, except for the 'makeup' type. And with the Sonozaki family already destroyed, only the X Foundation could possibly recreate the Gaia Memory. That meant that the guy in front of him must have some connection with that capitalist group!
What alarmed Yuanxiang the most was that they had also come to this world. Was it a coincidence, or did they have some strange invention that detected his traces and tracked him down?
But whatever the reason, he could not let this "Joker" go. The people of this land had had enough of the cruelty of the demons. They were finally about to end this nightmare, so how could he let a new nightmare befall them? The X Corporation was a more terrifying existence than the demons!
Thinking of this, Yuanxiang's determination became even stronger, and the flames rose higher. His armor began to vibrate, and some of it couldn't withstand the pressure and flew off like bullets, embedding itself deeply into the tree trunk.
"Wait, are you misunderstanding something?"
At this moment, the "Joker" waved his hand, deactivated his transformation, and a confident-looking man with a touch of swagger, carrying the camera, shouted towards Yuanxiang:
"My name is Tsukasa Kadoya. I'm just a Kamen Rider who was passing by. Although I don't really like this thief, he did help me out once, so I came out to smooth things over for him. I didn't mean to fight you. Don't misunderstand."
"In that case, please explain where your memory comes from."
Gengo stared intently at Kadoya Tsukasa, shifting his feet slightly, ready to cripple him at the slightest sign of trouble.
"Memory? You mean this?"
Tsukasa Kadoya took a card from a storage box at his waist. The card prominently featured the image of Kamen Rider "Joker." He smiled calmly and explained:
“I once met a Kamen Rider like you in Fuuto, and obtained this card containing the power of Kamen Rider Joker from him. I was just trying to attract your attention, but it seems to have aroused your great hostility.”
As he spoke, Tsukasa Kadoya tossed the card into his belt, and with a push of his hand, he transformed back into the familiar form of Genji.
"By the way, where's your partner?"
Tsukasa Kadoya casually deactivated his transformation, glanced at Shinobu Kocho, shook his head, and continued searching his surroundings, saying:
"He's the holder of the Cyclone Memory. Let him come out; he should understand some things at a glance."
"Unfortunately, I don't have a partner."
Yuanxiang slowly withdrew his stance. When this person transformed just now, he felt a terrifying power, a power full of destructive intent. If they really fought, he might not be able to gain the upper hand, so he chose to hold back for the time being and listen to what he had to say.
"I've never encountered a Cyclone memory either. Are you mistaken about something?"
"........."
Upon hearing this, Tsukasa Kadoya raised an eyebrow and looked at Genji with surprise, asking:
"Are you... a detective from Fuuto?"
"Yes, what?"
Gengo guessed what was going on and asked Kadoya Tsukasa in return:
"Is the other Joker like me?"
"Yes, that's how it is... Hmm... I think I understand."
Tsukasa Kadoya looked at Gengo's damaged armor, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
