I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

Gengo understood Kato Megumi's little scheme, but he didn't explain anything. To be honest, the moment she recognized Yuri, Gengo was ready to use the phantom of the [Light Sword, Most Radiant] to give her an amnesiac sword strike. However, dealing with the aftermath of amnesia was really difficult. After all, it was hard to control how much amnesia she would lose with that sword strike. If she forgot too much, how would he explain to the amnesiac Kato Megumi why she was there? That would undoubtedly be a new entanglement.

Although the true wielder of the "Light Sword of the Brightest Era" is right here, Gengo does not intend to let Yuri erase Kato Megumi's memories unless it becomes unbearable. You could say he's being pretentious, or that he's overthinking things, but the boy always felt that making someone forget their past for his own sake was a sin that needed to be carefully examined.

"Don't be nervous, Kato Megumi. If I had any ill intentions towards you, you wouldn't be alive today."

At this moment, Yuri broke the tense atmosphere in the office by speaking. As he spoke, he tried to walk into the office, but was stopped by Touma Kamiyama. The novelist remembered what Gengo had specifically told him last time: the world in Fuuto was not stable, and there was a certain danger for members like himself who were 'outsiders' to this world. Moreover, Yuri had just recovered from his previous weakness, and if he were to encounter another shock, it would really not be a good thing.

But this pull seemed to have some rather peculiar interpretation in Kato Megumi's eyes. The girl glanced at Gengo, who hadn't said much since the beginning, then at Yuri and Touma Kamiyama, and sat obediently on the sofa, waiting for them to continue.

"Kato Megumi, forgetting is a good thing for you."

Yuri, who had been pulled back, nodded to Touma Kamiyama, then looked at the girl and continued:

"Some things, even if you know them, will attract bad things. Last time the enemy was too powerful, so I left in a hurry and couldn't erase your memories completely. This time... I personally hope you can keep your mouth shut, otherwise, I will have no choice but to draw my sword against you again. Do you understand?"

It has to be said that when Yuri put on a stern warning, his aura was truly intimidating. Kato Megumi involuntarily shrank back, quickly nodded, and then, as if remembering something, silently glanced at Genji. The young detective took a sip of tea, smiled, and said softly:

“That’s right. We met last time. In a sense, I was also one of their accomplices. It’s only natural that they erase the memories related to me. So, Ms. Kato Megumi, you should know that Tokyo and Japan are very close, separated only by a small river.”

Wait, why did the art style suddenly change like this?!

Kamiyama Touma was stunned for a moment, tilting his head in confusion. If this were the typical plot of a youth novel, shouldn't this be the time to build rapport? Why did it turn into something like thugs making threats? The girl was almost in tears from being scared!

"Alright, alright, let's leave this topic at that."

Gensou clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and looked at Yuri and Touma Kamiyama, saying:

"What brings you here? Is there trouble at the Sword of Truth again...? Ms. Kato, you don't need to cover your ears."

Suddenly changing the subject, Gengo looked at Kato Megumi, who was trying to bury her head in the sand, and said with a gentle smile:

"If you can respect the agreement, it doesn't matter how much you know."

".....I see."

Seeing Kato Megumi's docile demeanor, Yuri sensed something was amiss; it was acting like a gangster operation. But to Yuri's surprise, Kato Megumi, who had expected things to remain quiet, suddenly looked at Gengo and said:

"Um, why not let them in? Won't these two standing at the door attract more attention? Is this really okay?"

"They haven't paid their fees from last time, so they can forget about getting in until then."

Gensou gently placed the teacup on the table. Although it was only a soft 'clatter,' it still sounded like a boulder falling, its force intimidating. Then, the boy glanced sideways at Kato Megumi and said:

"And ordinary people can't see them either, so please don't worry about that. But I'm glad you're thinking of us. If you need anything in the future, I can reduce your commission fee by 30%."

".....Thanks."

"Ahem, Gensou, it's not about the Sword of Truth."

Seeing Gensou constantly pressuring Kato Megumi, Kamiyama Touma reluctantly interjected, saying softly:

"It's like this, Rintaro needs some help."

"What? Has your swordsmanship reached a bottleneck?"

Speaking of the water swordsman, Gengo remembered his promise to him, but he had been too busy to think about it lately. Now, reminded of it, Gengo stood up, picked up his coat, and said:

"Although I can't transform and fight like those big shots, I have quite a bit of experience in it, so you've come to the right place."

"No, no, no, Gensou, you've misunderstood."

Kamiyama Touma waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"We haven't encountered any problems with swordsmanship yet, but... we've run into a knowledge gap."

This is the truth. Although these swordsmen were quite embarrassed when they faced the Lord of Truth last time, they also learned a lot of skills and insights from it. Therefore, their strength has been improving by leaps and bounds recently. However, none of that matters now. Kamiyama Touma coughed and looked at Genji and said:

"Hey, have you ever successfully confessed your feelings to a girl?"

...?! x2

Upon hearing this question, not only Kato Megumi, but even Genji was momentarily taken aback. The two tilted their heads in confusion, silently expressing their bewilderment.

"Rintaro is currently pursuing Mei."

Yuri pulled out two chairs from somewhere, and after he and Touma Kamiyama sat down, he said softly:

“Sudo Mei is indeed an outstanding woman, so it's no surprise that she'd be pursued by a swordsman of the Sword of Truth. But as you know, Genji, Rintaro is a quiet type, and he grew up in the relatively traditional Sword of Truth, so he's rather flustered by this kind of situation….”

"Then why not ask Onoue-senpai?"

Although he really wanted to hear more, Gengo had already guessed that Yuri was going to talk about the accident that Rintaro caused while pursuing Sudo Mei. Considering that there were outsiders present, he interrupted Yuri to prevent Kato Megumi from hearing her friend's joke. However, Gengo had already decided that he would have Yuri and Touma tell him the whole gossip later.

Tsk, if I had known it was this, I should have gotten rid of Kato Megumi first.

Gensho sighed regretfully in his heart, then asked in confusion:

"Onoe-senpai even has a child; he's a true senior in that respect."

"...I don't think Onoue-senpai's advice is reliable at all."

With a subtle expression, Kamiyama Touma said:

"I find writing novels so creepy that it gives people goosebumps."

"Then why not ask Miss Sophia for advice?"

Gengo asked instinctively, but as soon as he finished speaking, he laughed self-deprecatingly. Sophia and Rintaro had similar experiences, and he imagined that the manager must be having a lot of headaches about it.

"Well, I have no experience in confessing my feelings."

Under the watchful eyes of the two swordsmen, Genji leaned back in his chair and said:

"Because I'm always the one being confessed to, but that was back when I was still in school. Besides, I'm focused on my career and don't have time to mess around with those girls' love affairs. You've come to the wrong person."

"I see..."

"How about this..."

"How about this..."

The three men present subconsciously uttered a sigh, and after a brief silence, they all looked at Kato Megumi sitting on the sofa. The girl was startled, and after realizing something, she sat up straight, her back arching instantly. Her voice was still soft, but surprisingly confident as she spoke:

"Although I've never been in a relationship either, I think I understand girls' feelings a little better than you do."

"Ms. Kato, please have some tea."

Gengo walked over with a smile, refilled Kato Megumi's teacup, and said with a gentle smile:

"Would you like a peach to soothe your throat?"

Ah... I'm so glad I didn't chase Kato Megumi away just now, otherwise I wouldn't know who to talk to about this kind of thing.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Gengo suddenly thought she was much prettier. Although he wasn't exactly a master of romance in Fuuto, Fuuto wasn't a very big place, nor was it a small one. If he asked around today, the news of "Detective Gengo's Springtime Awakening" would probably reach the ears of the neighborhood by tomorrow. He didn't want to be stopped by Granny Nara and Aunt Shinobu and have them talk about how cute their nieces, daughters, and other nieces were.

"Mr. Gensho, your attitude changed too quickly. I'm really not used to it. Can you be a little more normal...?"

Kato Megumi wasn't being sarcastic; after all, Gengo's demeanor had changed too quickly. The way he was smiling and leaning in now gave Kato Megumi the feeling that he might draw his sword and slash her at any moment.

"Ahem, sorry, I was just being formal and looked a bit serious. Please don't mind."

Gengo rubbed his cheeks, sat down in front of Kato Megumi, and said with a smile:

"Why don't you talk about Rintaro's problem? If what you say can help my friend succeed, I'll take on a job for free. Even if you want to go to the moon for a couple of trips, I'll agree."

"this....."

"and many more!"

Just as Kato Megumi was about to say something, Gengo suddenly stopped her, stood up, pulled a notebook and pen from his desk, tossed them to Yuri and Touma Kamiyama respectively, and said:

"It's alright, don't mind. Let's take notes of the key points so we don't miss anything important. After all, it's the first time I've heard a girl explain this. Maybe we can use it when we do a commission in the future. Come on, please, I'm listening."

339 The Story of a Hero

That's what they said, but Kato Megumi had no experience in this area and hadn't really thought about it much. Plus, with the three of them staring intently at her with pens and paper in hand, even though they weren't hostile, the pressure was still there. After stammering for a while, Gengo closed his notebook and said softly:

"In short, the most important thing is sincerity, right? As long as the method isn't too bad, it's fine."

"Well, if you really have feelings for someone, you don't need to worry about anything else."

Kato Megumi nodded, picked up her teacup, and took a sip, but she was still quite flustered. To be honest, she had made all those things up on the spot, so she had just come up with an idea, but...

"I feel like this is as if it didn't say anything at all."

Yuri silently closed his notebook and whispered to Touma Kamiyama, revealing what Megumi Kato was thinking. But before Touma could answer, Gengo calmly took a bite of a peach and said softly:

"Anyway, this is better than us guessing from here. Now that we have a direction, let's get started!"

"What? Yuanxiang, do you already have a plan?"

Kamiyama Touma rubbed his fingers together, looking expectantly at Gengo and asking. Although this detective looked younger than him, he was much more reliable. To be honest, seeing Gengo's confident way of standing up, Kamiyama Touma knew he didn't need to think anymore and could just obediently wait for the boy's instructions.

"Of course, go prepare the flowers, prepare the special effects, and get Rintaro a proper outfit, something other than the Sword of Truth uniform. No, I'll use my clothes; Rintaro should be able to fit into them. Oh well, I'll prepare the flowers too. I just sprinkled flower petals on someone yesterday, so I have experience. The rest is up to you."

Gengo was issuing orders with an air of authority. Yuri and Touma Kamiyama stood up, about to act, when they suddenly realized something and turned to Gengo, asking:

"Do you still have 'realistic special effects' in Fengdu? I don't think we have that where I'm from."

"Feiyu is right."

"Special effects? You can just pull out your swords and you'll have them."

Yuanxiang smiled, gave a thumbs up, and said:

"Although it's not good to abuse the Holy Sword like this, it's all for the sake of our brothers, so let's put this issue aside for now."

"You know what, it really is..."

Kamiyama Touma and Yuri exchanged a subtle glance before disappearing at the end of the corridor. They needed to find Rintaro first; after all, he was the person involved, and they couldn't let him be completely clueless.

Looking at the empty scene on the other side of the door, Kato Megumi silently looked to her side. The boy was nowhere to be seen either. Instead, there was the sound of things being rummaged through in the back hall. In comparison, it was much quieter on her side, giving her the feeling of being used and then discarded.

but.....

It's good that it was demolished.

Kato Megumi calmly picked up a peach and quietly ate it. She could sense that the detective named Gengo harbored hostility towards her—no, hostility was an exaggeration; it was more like a wary attitude. She vaguely realized that perhaps even before she actively revealed today's events, the memories associated with it would be erased the moment she left the agency. Her cousin had mentioned that Gengo was very meticulous even when he was in school, so… should she leave another bookmark for this unexpected turn of events? No… he'd probably tear that up…

"Ms. Kato, what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Just as Kato Megumi was lost in thought, Genji's voice interrupted her. The girl looked up and saw the boy dragging a small suitcase smiling gently as he said:

"You were the chief strategist for this confession operation. Wouldn't it be a shame if you couldn't see the result with your own eyes? Come on, don't worry, it'll be fine."

"....good."
