"I'll arrange a meeting for you as soon as possible so they can help you deal with the Fury. But I'll pass; I'll only cause you trouble. Parallel worlds and all that—anything can happen."

"I feel like you've misunderstood something..."

Gengo squinted at the Kamen Rider who seemed certain of something, and while making sarcastic remarks, he tore off a piece of armor from his abdomen and threw it at the restless white-clad man next to him. Looking at the smoking hole in the ground, the white-clad man silently lowered his head, pretending that he was already dead.

"Hey, I almost forgot about you, Kaito," Tsukasa Kadoya clapped his hands, walked over with a smile, squatted down, and looked at Kaito, saying, "I told you not to steal, you'd run into trouble sooner or later, and look, it came true. Go back what they have and apologize properly."

"scholar--!!"

Kaito glared at Kadoya Tsukasa through gritted teeth, then closed his eyes, turned his head away, and said:

"I didn't steal anything... I'm sorry!"

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you yelling at me?" Tsukasa Kadoya said, patting the ground as he suppressed a laugh. "He's over there."

"No need, I've already heard it. Let's just consider this matter over. I hope you can change your ways."

Seeing the two people who seemed to be playing around, Gensou shook his head and took over their conversation. If he really made that Kaito apologize to him again, he might resent him for it. In the current situation... he didn't want an extra Kamen Rider to appear on the other side when attacking Spider Mountain.

"Gentlemen, since you're already here, please come in and have a seat."

At this moment, Gengo, seeing the Demon Slayer Corps members who had been drawn by the commotion, looked at Tsukasa Kadoya and Kaito and said:

"Me too

"I'm the one who..."

"Great! I've just arrived in this world and I'm still completely lost. It would be wonderful if someone could explain things to me."

Kaito tried to refuse, but Tsukasa Kadoya grabbed him, pulled a roll of duct tape from his pocket, and gagged him. Judging by the ease with which he did it, it shouldn't be...

"Oh right, I almost forgot, could you go behind that tree and get the thing for me?"

Tsukasa Kadoya, dragging Kaito along, addressed the Demon Slayer Corps members beside him, then, looking at his clothes and sword that he had tossed aside, stroked his chin and explained:

"When I came here, I had these extra things in my hands. Can you take a look and see if they are related to your base?"

"really."

Gensho sheathed his sword and replied:

"This is a Nichirin Blade, the weapon used by the Demon Slayer Corps to kill demons."

Seeing the surprised look in Kadoya Tsukasa's eyes, Gengo continued:

"Man-eating demons."

042 Let's be friends

"I probably understand."

Tsukasa Kadoya touched the camera on his chest, nodded without a smile. Inside the base, he had already heard Gengo recount the history and current state of the Demon Slayer Corps and demons. Although he had traveled through many worlds and witnessed many absurd scenes, he still couldn't bear to hear such things. Amidst Kaito's mournful cries, Tsukasa casually ripped the tape off his mouth, clapped his hands, and looked at Gengo, saying:

"In that case, let us lend a hand. You won't just stand by and do nothing, right, Haidong?"

"You bastard, Shi..."

Hai Dong rubbed his sore lips fiercely, then looked at Yuan Xiang and said:

"I'm not helping you. Let me make this clear: if there's any treasure, I'm not giving it to you."

Upon hearing this, Genshou gently touched the back of Himejima Gyomei's hand. The monk pondered for a moment, then said solemnly:

"But we won't let you take the ghost's blood, flesh, or anything like that. Those things might create new evil spirits."

"Tsk, who would want something so dirty! Don't demean a treasure like that!"

"Do not worry."

Just as Kaito was about to have a proper argument with Himejima Gyomei about what constitutes a treasure, Kadoya Tsukasa smiled and said to Gengo, "I'll keep an eye on this guy and won't let him do anything reckless."

"scholar!!!"

"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on this little thing, hahaha..."

Watching the two interacting, the Demon Slayer Corps members couldn't tell whether their relationship was good or bad, so they had no choice but to turn their attention back to Gengo.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Kadoya and Mr. Kaito."

Gengo bowed politely to them, and the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps followed suit. Tsukasa Kadoya waved awkwardly, stood up, and beckoned to Gengo, saying, "Don't be so polite. Anyone would help you in this situation. Alright, I've finished asking my questions. Now it's your turn to ask me."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Gengo also stood up, smiled at the pillars beside him, signaling them to go about their business, then walked to Tsukasa Kadoya's side and followed him to the wisteria grove.

The question he asked was simple: what was Tsukasa Kadoya's background? To Gengo's surprise, Tsukasa Kadoya was an amnesiac youth with no memories of the past, and was currently traveling through dimensions in search of his own world.

And every time he arrives in a new world, he automatically gains a new identity and skills, and his clothes also change. However, he doesn't know why he recognizes things from other worlds, but that doesn't stop him from calling himself "a man who can do everything except photography".

"Photography? So you're practicing?"

Gengo looked at the magenta camera hanging around Tsukasa Kadoya's neck and said with a smile, "I know a few photographers who are quite skilled. Come visit me sometime and I'll introduce you to them."

"This isn't a problem that can be solved with practice."

Tsukasa Kadoya leaned against a pillar, picked up his camera, casually pressed the shutter, took out a photo, and tossed it to Gengo. Gengo took it with a puzzled look, only to find that the colors and the outlines of the objects in the photo were severely distorted and warped.

“It’s not a problem with the camera or the technology,” Tsukasa Kadoya said with a shrug, “It’s that everything in this world refuses to be photographed. Well, what a capricious world.”

"If that's the case, how about you take a picture of me and see what happens?"

Yuanxiang handed the photo back, smiling as he said, "I'm not from this world, and I don't mind being photographed by you. This is my will, so there can't be any problems, right?"

"It's no use. My partner is also from another world, and he couldn't film it either."

Tsukasa Kadoya waved casually, but to be more convincing, he pressed the shutter and skillfully took out the photo. He glanced up instinctively, but his gaze froze instantly. In the photo, despite the large patches of deep purple halo, Gengo's upper body was still perfectly imprinted on it.

Gengo, meanwhile, was rubbing his cheeks vigorously. When Tsukasa Kadoya pressed the shutter, he felt as if he had been pricked by needles all over his body, especially on his face. He now truly understood that there was an incredible power surrounding Tsukasa Kadoya.

"...Ahem, Gensou, wanna be friends?"

"Ok?"

Gengo noticed a sudden, ambiguous hint of affection in Kadoya Tsukasa's gaze as he looked at him. Just as he was about to respond, Kaito, carrying two Nichirin Blades, popped his head out from the wall beside him and called out:

"Shi only wants to be your friend because he wants your card, don't fall for it."

"Haidong, you bastard, don't spout nonsense!"

Tsukasa Kadoya grabbed a nearby stone and threw it at Kaito, but the nimble thief dodged it. Then, Tsukasa coughed awkwardly twice and said frankly:

“My Knight Card can copy your power and seal it within it. That’s how the ‘Joker’ you saw before came about.”

"I see, so this is your special ability? Just thinking about it makes me feel really convenient."

Gengo smiled nonchalantly, extended his hand, looked at Tsukasa Kadoya, and said:

"Sure, if my power can help you, then feel free to copy it. However, if I hear that you've used it for evil purposes, I'll take it back."

"Then your worries are unnecessary."

Tsukasa Kadoya smiled, grasped Gengo's hand, and shook it slightly. Then, both of them heard a faint engine sound coming from the card case at Tsukasa's waist. With a hint of excitement, Tsukasa opened the case, intending to see what the new card looked like.

Just then, a crow, for some unknown reason, swooped down from the sky as if its wing had cramped up, and crashed into Tsukasa Kadoya's hand. Then, the wind pillar that was warming up in the distance suddenly stepped on its right foot with its left foot, causing the move in his hand to be deformed. The fierce sword wind scattered and swept in all directions. As a result, Tsukasa Kadoya saw the Rider Card that he had dropped into Gengo's coat.

“........”X2

After a brief silence, Gengo took the card out and handed it to Kadoya Tsukasa, explaining with a wry smile:

"My situation is a bit special. How about... we wait until we're no longer in the same world before you take it out and try it?"

043. War Begins

Tsukasa Kadoya nodded and swiftly put the Rider Card back into the card case. He had witnessed Kaito's humiliation and knew how loyal the 'Joker' Memory was to its owner, but he hadn't expected it to behave this way after becoming a card. It was truly outrageous.

No, I have to go back to that city when I have time, and let the people at that agency know what a 'chosen ace' really is.

Thinking of this, Tsukasa Kadoya couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile. Then, realizing that Gengo was still in front of him, he quickly restrained himself. At this moment, a hidden figure walked over and reminded Gengo and Tsukasa that it was time to eat, thus ending their conversation.

Time flew by, the sun had already set, and a cool night breeze swept across the land. The Demon Slayer Corps was ready and headed to Spider Mountain, where a great battle was about to begin.

Looking at the deep, desolate mountains, Genji and the other two transformed simultaneously. Their mission was simple: to intercept the Upper Moon demons, assist the Demon Slayer Corps in completing the Higanbana Plan, and at the same time minimize the casualties of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Without any warning, the moment a Demon Slayer swordsman spotted the demon, the battle escalated to a fever pitch. It was as if endless demons were surging forth from the darkness. The Demon Slayer swordsmen, with their superb swordsmanship, managed to suppress the tide. At the same time, the Pillars and Kamen Riders moved in unison, cutting through the enemy lines and relieving the pressure on everyone.

At this moment, an old demon with a swollen forehead, two horns on his head, and a face like a hannya crawled out from the side, surrounded by a group of demons. Without thinking, Tsukasa Kadoya went straight to meet him. This kind of guy is usually an elite monster.

Meanwhile, another strange demon emerged from the pot, which was hidden inside and connected to it. Its mouth was located where its eyes were, and its eyes were located on its forehead and mouth. Several small arms grew from its head. A Demon Slayer recognized it as Upper Moon Five, and the two Pillars immediately rushed at it.

Meanwhile, an unexpected incident occurred within the Demon Slayer Corps. Several Demon Slayer swordsmen suddenly drew their swords and slashed at their comrades. They shouted warnings, but their bodies did not obey commands, as if they were being controlled. Kanae Kocho noticed something amiss, used her sword to cut the spider silk binding them, then exchanged a glance with another Pillar and rushed into the depths of the mountains together.

But after almost all the Pillars had their opponents, the demons also started to act. The demons who could use Blood Demon Art began to cause trouble together, creating mist, sounds, flames, handballs... There were even demons who could use the earth as a river and swim in the land. For a time, the Demon Slayer Corps' formation was disrupted, and the battle line was stretched out a lot. Fortunately, they were prepared, and they fought against the enemy in groups of two or three, maintaining a distance between each group so that they could support each other at any time.

Gengo charged into the horde of demons casting spells, his hands clasped with specially made brass knuckles. Similar equipment had been given to Kadoya Tsukasa and Kaito, originally made specifically for Gengo, since the demons' regenerative abilities were quite disgusting, and it was always good to save some energy.

At that moment, Yuanxiang suddenly felt a gust of evil wind coming from the left. He quickly dodged to the side, but a sharp sword sound still came from his armor. Moreover, the incoming sword energy was quite strange. He saw that the evil spirit that was also affected was directly torn to pieces, and every cut was quite clean.

Were multiple attacks launched simultaneously?

A hint of doubt flashed through Gensou's mind. He looked solemnly at the enemy, a six-eyed Sengoku swordsman with long black sideburns and a high ponytail, wearing a purple snake-patterned kimono and black riding hakama. He had red flame-shaped marks on his left forehead and right neck.

"So...were you the one who was following Kaigaku that day?"

The moment that demon spoke, Gensou knew he was facing Kokushibo, the very person he had planned to confront. He looked at Gensou and slowly said:

"You hid it very well. Even I thought I was overthinking it. But whenever I encounter you again, it's hard not to recognize this aura. Did you kill Doma? Never mind... that's not important."

Kokushibo raised his sword, a rather grotesque one, with eyes covering the blade, hilt, and grip. But the moment he got into position, an incomparably sharp sword intent erupted from his body, pointing directly at Genji, leaving no time to pay attention to anything else. At the same time, his sword changed again, becoming longer and sprouting strange blades with intersecting edges.

"I know you're strong, that's enough. Come on, fight with all your might, and make me even stronger."

Before the words were even finished, several giant blades of wind fell from the sky, shattering the earth. Genji barely managed to escape the attack range, but the demons there were instantly turned into mincemeat. Then, accompanied by a crisp sword cry, the instantaneous Iaijutsu sword energy pierced through the air and shattered the knuckle duster in Genji's hand.

His sword aura is strange!

Looking at the flying fragments, Gensou immediately understood. When Kokushibo attacked, his sword aura would generate countless crescent blades. The size and length of the crescent blades would change from time to time, without a fixed shape. While increasing the power, it also made the moves unpredictable.

This wasn't Blood Demon Art; it was Kokushibo's real sword technique. At this moment, the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps hadn't sent him the signal that the plan was complete, which meant that he still needed to delay this Upper Moon One. If necessary, he would even need to be the witness to the Higanbana. Therefore, he needed to control his strength and not go all out, and have a proper spar with him.

It's been so long since I've had a match with actors like this. I wonder if there are any problems with Tsukasa Kadoya and Kaito...

Although he was mentally prepared, Yuanxiang still couldn't help but mutter to himself that exchanging skills was never an easy task, especially when the opponent was a master.

At this moment, Kokushibo wielded his strange longsword, unleashing a series of chaotic and invisible slashes that created multiple intersecting blade winds. While sealing off Genji's movements, he also generated countless crescent-shaped blades. Genji clearly felt the restless and chaotic buzzing in the air. If he were to be hit by this, most of his tattered armor would probably be torn off.
