"Yuanxiang, remember, even if I'm in space, I'll rush back to help."
.........
Amidst everyone's farewells, Gengo returned to his own world. Tsukasa Kadoya, however, looked at his palm with a subtle expression. He intended to leave a mark on Gengo, as he had done before, so that he could sense any problems and rush to help immediately. But it seemed that because of 'Knight's Glory,' his power had failed to take effect on Gengo... Oh well, with the protection of those old men's power, there were still half a month left. They should be able to get through it safely.
"Tsukasa Kadoya, what are your plans next?"
Before entering the Aurora Veil, Takeshi Hongo casually asked a question, and Tsukasa Kadoya thought for a moment before replying:
"I'll go and see the worlds I've been to before. To be honest, I'm a little worried that Bataan hasn't used my power to harm other worlds. If not, I'll continue my journey."
"Well, see you in the future then."
After saying that, Hongo Takeshi passed through the Aurora Veil and disappeared. At this point, all the Kamen Riders from other worlds had left this place.
On the other side, after passing through the aurora curtain, Gengo appeared in the agency. He stretched his body and felt that he was in better condition than ever before. But at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure, and his vision suddenly darkened. Then he seemed to hear some strange sounds, as if he were in a battlefield. Before his eyes, dark figures fell down, and limbs and broken arms fell from the sky like leaves. But Gengo felt that this terrifying scene was strangely familiar, as if it was something he had personally experienced.
At that moment, a pale golden light suddenly emanated from his chest, dispelling the strange sight and restoring Yuanxiang's vision to normal.
What... is going on?
Gengo tilted his head in confusion. After experiencing what had just happened, he began to understand why he felt so relaxed and liberated. It was probably because he had temporarily broken free from those things. The boy thought about it and finally decided to go to Kinomoto Sakura's place to find Clow Reed. After all, that was the real expert who could give him some useful advice.
But as Yuanxiang prepared to act, in the subspace, the 'Yuanxiang corpses' that appeared after the Dark Gold Gear shattered began to move. Their limbs began to twist abnormally, as if they were trying to stand up in a deformed way. However, just as Yuanxiang opened the door to go to other worlds, the strange subspace aura, like the tentacles of an octopus, hooked onto the boy again. This subtle change did not elicit a reaction from 'Glory', but it also calmed the corpses down again. All the corpses that had been moving, regardless of their posture, froze instantly, as if they had never moved.
"We meet again, little one, oh?"
After meeting through 'Luna,' Clow Reed greeted her instinctively, but he immediately sensed something different about Gensou. He adjusted his glasses and said with a smile:
"I see. So it's a miracle of turning reality around through willpower? That's incredible. I've encountered something like that before, but even from a magical perspective, it's quite difficult to explain. It seems you've made quite a bit of progress lately."
"As expected of Mr. Clow Reed, he noticed my change before I even said anything."
Yuanxiang smiled and continued:
"But when I came back, I saw something strange, like something was pressing down on me..."
"It's fate."
Kuro Rido said with certainty:
"The protection you possess is very strong; even the chaotic fate has to temporarily retreat. However, as long as you continue to live in that city and continue to use the power of that memory, this protection will eventually be unable to sever your connection with fate. You have reincarnated too many times. I don't need to elaborate on the principle that quantitative change leads to qualitative change. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen a situation where cause and effect are entangled to such an extent as yours. So if you don't want to give up that power, then be prepared; this will be a difficult path."
"I understand, thank you for reminding me."
Gengo nodded, sincerely thanking Clow Reed, while the magician waved his hand dismissively and withdrew from the power of 'Luna,' but immediately returned and looked at Gengo, saying;
"Do you remember what we talked about the first time? The creature inside Yukito's body is my former familiar. Don't actually kill it."
"Ah, so it's one of yours."
Gensou answered in surprise, agreeing repeatedly, but then he blinked and said to Clow Reed:
"Wait, now that you can manifest using the power of 'Luna', why don't you go and get back your former subordinates? They must miss you a lot."
“I am dead, and their new master is my successor.”
Kurodo waved his hand and answered with a smile;
"I'm already dead, so let's not let them linger on me too much. I believe they'll be happier with Sakura. By the way, Sakura seems to have something on her mind lately."
At that moment, Clow Reed remembered something and said:
"When you threatened Yukito earlier, it seems she noticed. That's all I'll say for now. You can handle the rest yourself."
After saying that, Clow Reed completely left 'Luna,' bringing Genji back to reality. Genji then scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled, and sighed helplessly. How was he supposed to explain this? He had clearly made a promise with that child, but in the blink of an eye, he had gone back on his word... emmm... maybe he should just tell the truth. Sakura should forgive him... right...?
"Brother Yuanxiang, why are you standing here in a daze... um...."
Sakura Kinomoto watched as Genji, seemingly startled by her, darted up a nearby tree like a cat. Her hand, which was about to wave, froze, unsure of what to do next.
"Ahem, Sakura, it's been a long time."
At this moment, Yuanxiang fell from the tree, coughing somewhat awkwardly, waving and smiling in greeting, then looked around and said in confusion:
Why didn't I see Tomoyo this time?
"Is Gengo-nii a little disappointed that he didn't see Tomoyo?"
Surprisingly, Sakura Kinomoto pouted and looked at Gengo with a dissatisfied expression, asking him a question. This really surprised Gengo for a moment, but then Sakura Kinomoto couldn't help but laugh and said softly:
"Tomoyo was right. Gengo-nii was indeed frightened. Tomoyo has been out with her family recently, so she's not here. But Gengo-nii, why did you assume that Tomoyo would definitely be by my side?"
"Because the two of you are basically always together."
Gengo looked at the completely oblivious Kinomoto Sakura, smiled, and flicked the ahoge (cowlick) on her head, saying softly:
"Um, Sakura, I'm sorry about what happened with your Yukito brother..."
"Hmm~~ You don't need to say anything more about this, Yuanxiang-nii-san."
!! ?
Seeing Sakura Kinomoto shake her head, giving him no chance to explain, Gengo's hand froze, his heart sinking. This...this Sakura was definitely still angry, really angry. If Sakura weren't so well-mannered and polite, she probably wouldn't have even acknowledged him when she saw him lost in thought. Wait, was that rhetorical question a hint that he should leave? No, no, Sakura isn't usually so sarcastic. If that's the case, could it be...could that be Sakura's true feeling? What...what should I do?!
Just as Gensou's mind was starting to 'read and understand', Kinomoto Sakura couldn't help but recall the message she had seen in the dimensional group. It was right after Gensou warned Yukito, and while she was still wondering what had made Gensou break his promise, Nanoha suddenly said that Genka had encountered an unknown enemy and had been taken to an unknown space. If anyone in the group saw this, please let them know that he was safe.
At this moment, Kinomoto Sakura realized that Gengo had encountered an enemy he was not confident in, so he came to her side first to deal with Yukito's matter, so that she wouldn't be unable to handle it in the future. This kind of tough approach was really in line with Gengo's style of doing things.
but....
Sakura Kinomoto glanced at the group chat. There were no messages related to Genjiro. If that was the case, did Genjiro come to see her immediately after defeating the enemy to explain the matter, without even going to see Nanoha?
Hmm~~~
Thinking about this, Kinomoto Sakura felt a little embarrassed. After all, Gengo's original intention was to do what was best for her, but now he wanted to apologize to her. How could that be? At the same time, she was also happy that Gengo valued her. If that's the case, then she and Gengo must be good friends!
But no matter what, Gensou-nii has just finished a battle that must have been extremely tiring. It's important that Gensou-nii rests as soon as possible. Even if he is really angry about this, he can't just keep pushing himself to the limit to explain it away.
"Brother Yuanxiang, you should go back and rest."
Thinking that Gengo might still be injured, Kinomoto Sakura couldn't help but feel sorry for him and tried to comfort him. Upon hearing this, Gengo was stunned. If the scene were an anime, he would have turned into a stone statue on the spot, and a bolt of lightning would have struck down from the sky, turning him into ashes.
"No, Sakura, let me explain..."
Wait, how do I explain this?
Yuanxiang thought for a moment. If he had to categorize it, he could only say that he was doing it for her own good and wanted to eliminate potential dangers in advance. But was it really appropriate to say it that way? After all, children of that age are quite averse to elders interfering with their actions under the guise of "it's for your own good." Although he hadn't experienced anything like that at the time, Xiaonaye had. Back then, she and he had a big argument because of something like that. He was a stubborn mule back then, and in the end, it was his grandfather who helped to smooth things over.
So, are you going to lie?
This choice suddenly leaped into Gengo's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. The failure rate of lying to Sakura was too high. Not to mention that she had the Scales of Justice, after telling one lie, she would have to use another to cover it up. This would only put him at a disadvantage. In addition, there was Tomoyo, that child who seemed to have a script. In the end, he was afraid that after the truth was exposed, he would be completely hated by the children.
Seeing Gensou's reaction, Kinomoto Sakura only wanted him to rest more. So, after letting Nanoha know she was safe in the group chat, she held the boy's hand and said:
"Alright, I've already forgiven Gensou-nii..."
But I haven't even started explaining yet!
Genji stammered, his voice trembling in his sleep. Kinomoto Sakura couldn't help but chuckle, then circled behind him, nudging him as she spoke:
"I know why you did that, Yuanxiang-gege. If they were really angry, they wouldn't talk to you. Okay, okay, you just finished dealing with the enemy, so go and rest. Or should I use the Creation Card to heal your wounds?"
"No, no, now that you know, I'm fine."
Although Sakura's tone suggested she already knew the whole story, which confused me a bit, since the child didn't seem angry, there was nothing more to say. I should hurry up and leave to avoid saying anything more and upsetting her. Besides, I hadn't had a chance to let Nanoha Hayate know I was safe since I came back in such a hurry.
Watching Gensou dash into the other side of the door, Kinomoto Sakura smiled helplessly. After the door closed, the child suddenly remembered something, slapped her forehead, and realized that there were still some freshly made snacks at home that she had forgotten to pack some for Gensou-nii to take with him.
Oh well, I'll treat him well next time he comes.
And so, a quiet night passed. Takamachi Nanoha, Yagami Hayate, and Gengo all had a good dream. But at dawn, Gengo was awakened by a nightmare. He dreamed of many arms, those arms with exposed bones reaching out to him, the remaining flesh covered with lividity, as if they wanted to devour him.
Is this my past, my destiny?
Yuanxiang stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, let out a long breath, and then went out to prepare for his morning exercise. As for the nightmares, he would just have to wait and see; there was no particularly good solution at the moment.
"Good morning, Yuanxiang-gege."
Good morning, Gale.
"Brother Yuanxiang..."
At the familiar crossroads, Gengo greeted Hayate Yagami, who had arrived earlier, with a smile. Then, Nanoha Takamachi, who had been skipping over, stopped abruptly, looking at Gengo with curiosity, and said softly:
"Brother Yuanxiang, did you not sleep well last night? You don't seem to be in very good spirits."
"Indeed, I had a nightmare. It was probably because I went out and fought with the undead. To be honest, after that battle, I felt like my trypophobia was about to kick in. Okay, okay, let's not talk about that anymore. I really don't want to think about that thing again."
Hearing Gengo's words, Nanoha Takamachi and Hayate Yagami tacitly changed the subject. Gengo happily told them about Akiko Narumi and Ryu Terui's wedding, and of course, the most important thing about his 'blankness' problem. After repeatedly confirming that this critical problem had indeed been solved, Nanoha Takamachi and Hayate Yagami cheered joyfully, each grabbing one of Gengo's hands, and said they were going to find a place to celebrate properly, acting all grown-up and arrogantly saying that they would treat everyone.
Yuanxiang, however, laughed and pulled them all out. He said that while it was a treat and a celebration, no one could skip the morning exercise.
The magical barrier unfolded once more, and Genji saw Linfus standing beside Yagami Hayate, preparing to assist in the battle. This Fusion Control Knight looked as haggard as he had been in the past.
The Corpse Mountain program is truly terrifying.
Gengo clicked his tongue, then took out the Dual Driver and placed it on his waist. He then took out the 'Skull' Memory he had just acquired and put it into the left slot. At the same moment, silently, the same Memory appeared in the right slot as well. Gengo then calmly pushed the Dual Driver to both sides, and then a pale, flame-like figure wearing a hat appeared behind him. The figure took a step forward and merged with Gengo. After the flames dissipated, the figure of Kamen Rider Skull appeared in front of Takamachi Nanoha and Yagami Hayate.
Although this Skull has gained new power, there is no change in appearance. If one had to say, the only difference is that the Knight's compound eyes have become more profound. Looking into them for a long time will instinctively evoke fear, a fear of death.
Upon realizing this, Gengo deactivated Skull's transformation. Its new power was unsuitable for sparring with Nanoha Takamachi and Hayate Yagami, as it was an attack that brought an aura of 'death,' and the damage it could inflict on living beings might exceed his expectations.
Since that's the case, let's use 'luna' then, which will allow them to further enhance their awareness of potential crises.
The morning exercise ended quickly, but the two children were quite tormented by the illusion of 'Luna' this time, and Yuanxiang had to carry them back one by one. Yuanxiang also made breakfast. To be fair, Yuanxiang's cooking skills are not bad. After all, he has lived alone for so long, and it is good for him to improve his cooking skills. It's just that he can't compare to those who have put in the effort to study cooking.
"By the way, Gengo-nii, why did you appear with Sakura?"
At that moment, Nanoha Takamachi suddenly remembered what happened last night. If Sakura hadn't said that Gengo would be back at the agency soon, she would have almost pressed the teleportation button to go to Sakura's place and see what was going on.
"I actually came back to our side, but I ran into a problem and need to go to Sakura's place to resolve it."
Gensou casually remarked, and Takamachi Nanoha didn't press for details, simply nodding before changing the subject:
"By the way, Yuanxiang-gege, are you free lately?"
"What? Where are you going again? To Madoka Kaname, or Illya?"
Seeing Takamachi Nanoha's big eyes darting around, Gengo knew what she was thinking. There was only a little bit of vacation time left, and new group members had joined. This kid had to go crazy a bit more.
"We're going to Sakura's world, but it's not just me, everyone's going there. We'll also need to trouble Gengo-nii to open the door and bring Hayate along too."
Nanoha Takamachi said softly, but to be honest, she originally wanted everyone to come to Fuuto to have fun, but in the end, Tomoyo managed to get the party through Sakura's excuse that "my house is big, I have a lot of rooms, and it's all small money." After all, the plan was for everyone to have fun until the start of the school term.
"Okay, I'll talk to Uncle Shirou. When Hayate is about to come back, come find me and I'll open the door."
Gensou nodded, readily agreeing. At that moment, Yagami Hayate seemed to realize something and asked softly:
