I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

Shindo Rintaro helped explain, and at this point, Gengo remembered that Sudo Mei was the editor in charge of Kamiyama Touma. He figured that the novelist was busy dealing with MEGID and didn't have time to write. Hmph, he wondered which dark room or basement Mr. Kamiyama was locked in and was working himself to the bone to finish his manuscript.

"By the way, is Kamijou Daichi still not awake?"

Yuanxiang pulled his thoughts back to the present moment, picked up some fruit from the table, and said while eating:

"If he's still not awake by now, I'd think he's just pretending to be asleep."

"this....."

At this point, Ryo Onoue and Rintaro Shindo had somewhat subtle expressions, and spoke one after the other:

"Kamijo has indeed woken up..."

"However, during the interrogation, the traitor deliberately provoked the wise man, so the wise man lost his temper and knocked him unconscious with another punch..."

"Well, that's really something... With me here, he's just been knocked out. I'll wake him up right now."

264. It doesn't matter, you do yours, I'll ask mine.

"You've finally arrived."

As Shindo Rintaro and the others led Gengo into the cell where Kamijou Daichi was imprisoned, the middle-aged swordsman skillfully sat up from the bed and said in a calm tone:

"Isn't it because you intervened that I was able to stay at the North District base?"

"Don't talk so intimately, as if we're old friends."

Seeing the astonished looks on the swordsmen's faces, it seemed they genuinely hadn't realized that Kamijou Daichi was faking unconsciousness. Genji, not wanting to waste any more words, knocked on the doorframe and said:

"It seems you've been waiting for me to come here. In that case, let's go. Let's go to the hall and call all the swordsmen over. Let's hear what you have to say. You don't have any objections to this arrangement, do you?"

"of course not."

Kamijou Daichi stood up, dusted off his clothes, and looked at Genjiro, saying:

"I can accept being interrogated there as long as you are there."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Gensho sneered, turned around, and said:

"Don't think that saying nice things will make me go easy on you during the interrogation later."

"I'm not saying nice things, I'm just telling the truth."

Under the watchful eyes of Shindo Rintaro and Onoue Ryo, Kamijou Daichi followed behind Gengo, saying as he walked:

“You are not a member of the Sword of Truth, yet you possess great power. You have also witnessed the future presented by the Dark Sword Moon. With you present, I won’t be directly labeled as talking nonsense or refusing to cooperate.”

"Haha."

Gengo simply gave a perfunctory reply to this, then sat down on a chair in the hall, waiting for all the swordsmen to return before listening to Kamijou Daichi speak. Soon, the swordsmen summoned by Sophia hurriedly returned, including Kamiyama Touma. However, Gengo and the Kamishiro siblings did not ask Sophia to contact them, since none of the people present were very familiar with the two guys from the Southern District base.

"Alright, begin your confession."

Genji waved to Kamijou Daichi, and the swordsman, without hesitation, spoke:

"I'm sorry, wise man, I failed to save the world."

"what?!"

Kento Fukamiya looked at Daichi Kamijou in surprise, wondering why he was suddenly saying this out of the blue, but Daichi Kamijou immediately continued:

"These are Fujia Palace's last words before he died. I've always wanted to tell you these words, but unfortunately, due to my status, I've delayed until now."

“Sir, calm down.”

Gengo used the power of 'Luna' to restrain Kento Fukamiya, who was trying to pull up Daichi Kamijou, and then looked at the middle-aged swordsman and said:

"Don't try to test other people's patience. If you don't behave, I'll loosen your bones and knock on your soul."

"Onoue, you should still remember everything that happened fifteen years ago, right?"

Instead of responding to Gengo's words, Kamijou Daichi looked at Onoue Ryo and said:

"Fifteen years ago, Fuga Palace took away the Fantastic Driving Book from the North District Base."

"Yes, and since a large number of megids appeared at that time, you were to persuade him to return the Book of Fantasy Ride, while we went to eliminate the megids."

Onoue nodded and said:

"But since then, we've never heard from either of you again."

"Fifteen years ago, I met Fugagong. At that time, he used a young girl as a sacrifice to open the door to a fantasy world."

Kamijou Daichi leaned back slightly, looked at Genjiro, and said:

"He said that girl is a special being who connects two worlds, and he will go there to obtain eternal truth and great power, all for the sake of saving the future. Only in this way can we reach the path to true peace, and also..."

At this point, Daichi Kamijou's expression suddenly turned grim, and he said in a low voice:

"Fuga Palace said that the same thing was said by that lord. However, the situation was too chaotic at the time, and with Fuga Palace's recklessness, that area was in danger of being destroyed. So I didn't have a chance to question him. I could only continue to fight him, trying to end all of this as soon as possible."

"........"

Upon hearing this, Touma Kamiyama's expression changed slightly. He had once lost a portion of his memory, and now, with Daichi Kamijou's narration, he seemed to recall something. However, now was not the time to inquire about such matters, so Touma Kamiyama suppressed his thoughts and continued listening to Daichi Kamijou's explanation:

"Perhaps it was because the ritual was too exhausting, or perhaps it was because Fujia-kyo hadn't been able to rest, but in the end, I drove Fujia-kyo to the brink. It was at that moment that he went crazy and questioned me, asking why I had stopped him, saying that it might be the only way to save the world. I tried to appease him, but Fujia-kyo was no longer listening to me. He unleashed a killing move at me, and I could only retaliate with my own. And so... Fujia-kyo died by my sword."

After Daigo Kamijou finished speaking, Kento Fukamiya's eyes dimmed slightly. Although he had long suspected that his father was dead, he still felt a heart-wrenching pain when the fact was confirmed.

On the other side, Ryo Onoue, Sophia, and the long-haired swordsman couldn't help but reveal complicated expressions. For fifteen years, Daichi Kamijou and Hayato Fukamiya had a good relationship. That's why he was asked to persuade Hayato Fukamiya back then. No matter what Daichi Kamijou has become now, back then, how heartbroken he must have been to kill his friend with his own hands.

"After killing Fujimura, I planned to bring his remains back, but at that moment, I touched the Dark Sword Moonlight."

After a brief silence, Kamijou Daichi continued:

"That holy sword acknowledged me, and thus I saw the future that Fugamiya spoke of—the future of world destruction. After seeing the future, I understood everything. Fugamiya fought alone against despair, and some people on the Sword of Truth took advantage of this, turning him into a demon!"

After saying this, Kamijou Daichi roared and glared at Sofia, saying:

"That's right! The enemy is within the organization, so I can't drag my comrades into this. It's enough for me to inherit Fugamiya's will alone. To fight the organization, I need power, even if it means using Megid. This is the sin I must bear for failing to save him. I will protect the world. I will find out who turned Fugamiya into a demon and kill him with my own hands!!"

Kamijou Daichi shifted his gaze to Genji and said, enunciating each word clearly:

"This is the origin of all my actions and plans over the past fifteen years. As for why you asked me why I stole Kamiyama Touma's things, the reason is much simpler in comparison. I never expected that the boy I casually saved fifteen years ago would actually obtain the [Fire Sword Blazing Fire] that I hid in the darkness. I couldn't save that girl back then, but at least I should let him live an ordinary life. He shouldn't be involved in this war that involves the world. Therefore, I want to take back everything related to the Sword of Truth from him and let him continue to be an ordinary novelist."

These words caused everyone to look at Kamiyama Touma in astonishment. The novelist nodded, acknowledging everything. The girl who was sacrificed by Fukamiya Hayato fifteen years ago was his childhood playmate. Therefore, young Kamiyama Touma also directly faced the impact of the entire ritual. His memories of that time seemed to have been forgotten as a result. He only remembered that he had made a promise with a girl, promising that he would definitely rescue her. Everything else became blurry. Even with Kamijou Daichi's account as a reference, he still couldn't completely recall everything.

"Impossible, this is impossible! You're talking nonsense!!"

However, to Genji's surprise, it was Shindo Rintaro who first erupted. This swordsman, who seemed somewhat bookish, had bloodshot eyes and looked at Kamijou Daichi as if he were a heinous criminal, wishing he could kill him with a single strike. He gritted his teeth and said:

"The Sword of Truth is an organization established to protect the world. Everyone in the organization fights with all their might for this ideal, even at the cost of their own lives. I absolutely will not allow you, a traitor, to slander the Sword of Truth with your words!!"

"You see?"

Ignoring the enraged Rintaro Shindo, Daichi Kamijou looked at Gengo and said:

"If you're not here, everything I say will eventually become a 'lie.' Hmph, enough, Shindo Rintaro, stop embarrassing yourself."

Looking at the water swordsman who was being suppressed by Genji with one hand, Kamijou Daichi said in a deep voice:

"You have no parents, the organization is your home, you are a swordsman raised by the organization. Do you still remember the rule that 'a swordsman should not be swayed by personal feelings'? You dare not admit that everything I said is just your attempt to whitewash the situation and avoid facing the truth because of personal feelings!!"

"Kamijo Daichi~!!"

'Thump!'

Rintaro Shindo roared and tried to rush over to punch Daichi Kamijou in the mouth, but before he could move, Daichi Kamijou was slammed against the wall by the sudden burst of punches, clutching his chest and groaning in pain.

The one who threw that punch was none other than Yuanxiang. Only then did everyone notice the chilling coldness in the boy's eyes, which was so intense that it silenced everyone.

"I don't care what traitors are in your organization."

Genji looked coldly at Kamijou Daichi and said:

"I just want to know, for the past fifteen years... no, ever since you started working with Megid, have you just stood by and watched those bastards harm people without doing anything? Or are you involved in the harm done to those victims?"

"...I have never killed an ordinary person."

Upon hearing this, Kamijou Daichi lowered his head and said in a low voice, filled with shame:

"But I must bear some responsibility for Megid's sins, uh~!"

Before he could finish speaking, Daichi Kamijou was grabbed by the neck and slammed against the wall by Genji, who looked at Sophia with murderous intent and said in a low voice:

"Is this bastard still of any use to you?"

"Mr. Gensho..."

"Is it still useful?!"

Sophia, who was about to say something, was startled by Gensou's loud shout. The manager pondered for a moment, then looked at Gensou somewhat timidly and nodded silently.

"Do you have a list of MEGID victims from all these years? If not, I can look it up myself."

"Yes, we have that."

Seeing the boy was clearly enraged, the long-haired swordsman did as he was told, taking a roster from the bookshelf and tossing it to Genji. Genji opened to the first page and began reading coldly from the beginning:

"Sasaki Yujiro."

'bump! '

"Well!!"

"Ueko Mimi".

'bump! '

"Wow!!"

Silverwood.

'bump! '

"what!!"

With each victim's name uttered, a heavy punch landed on Kamijou Daichi's body. Golden ripples of lightning flashed intermittently, erasing the middle-aged swordsman's injuries, followed by muffled thuds of fists striking flesh. As the last page of the register closed, Genji clenched his fist, and Kamijou Daichi slid to the ground. The wall he had been leaning against was completely stained red with blood, a chilling sight. And then…

“Yuanxiang…I am willing to accept any punishment, but…”

Dazed by the beating, Kamijou Daichi, clinging to his inner conviction, looked at Genji and softly asked:

"But if you were in my position, would you have any other options...?"
