I am Kamen Rider who reverses dimensions

But now... well, Rintaro's a bit stubborn. When he confessed, he probably already planned out every single stage of his life that would follow. He definitely confessed to Sudo Mei with marriage in mind, and the swordsmen mostly agree on that. But what good is our approval, we big guys? We don't know what Mei thinks...

Thinking of this, everyone present secretly glanced at Sudo Mei, but they were all very careful, afraid of putting pressure on the editor. Although they hoped that she and Rintaro could get together, Sudo Mei's love should belong to herself. Only the decision she made from the bottom of her heart was a part of her life.

Across from Shindo Rintaro, Sudo Mei gripped the strap of her shoulder bag, standing frozen in place, listening to the relentless music. She had indeed fantasized about the romantic scene of being confessed to, but she hadn't expected it to come so suddenly. Now, thinking back, Rintaro's seemingly foolish and thoughtless behavior suddenly made sense; she just hadn't considered it in that particular direction. But now…

This...I...like...that...is it...Wow wow wow!!

If the art style were more anime-like, Sudo Mei's face would burst out of steam like a steam engine, with her eyes turning into mosquito coils. The editor's lips trembled, and she ran out with her hands raised like a French soldier, muttering something unintelligible.

Upon witnessing this scene, Shindo Rintaro's bouquet of flowers drooped abruptly, the water swordsman's eyes lost their luster, and he looked utterly dejected. The swordsmen beside him sighed in pity, but as they stepped forward to comfort Rintaro, Gengo kicked him in the foot without hesitation, saying irritably:

"Why are we waiting here instead of hurrying after them?"

"But Ya Yi..."

Do you think she was even capable of thinking when she was in that state just now?

Gengo interrupted Shindo Rintaro, poking his forehead and saying:

"Grandpa once said that as long as you're not rejected, anything is possible. Don't just stand there, go for it!"

"oh oh!!!"

Shindo Rintaro jumped up and readily agreed, then picked up the flower bouquet and chased after the direction where Sudo Mei had disappeared. The swordsmen wanted to follow, but Genji stopped them. The boy sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and said:

"Let those two handle the rest. Whether it works out or not, we'll just have to see how they react when we get back. Don't just stand there, sit down. Since we're already here, anyone want a thrilling game of poker?"

"Wow~ I'm really strong."

Upon hearing this, Yuri raised an eyebrow, sat down opposite Gensou, and said in a formal manner:

"Although I've only just started learning, Fei Yu Zhen is no match for me at all, so you'd better prepare to become my defeated opponent as well."

"objection!!"

Kamiyama Touma immediately pulled out a chair, sat down to Genji's left, rested one arm on the table, and looked at Yuri with a defiant expression, saying:

"I was just letting you off easy, you old man. Now I'll show you my true strength!"

"Me too! Me too!"

Upon hearing the word "strongest," the Wind Swordsman, Hidari Ren, immediately joined the game, a natural smile on his face, and confidently declared:

"I'm going to become the strongest swordsman. Right here and now, let me convince you!"

"You guys really know how to cause trouble..."

Kento Fukamiya walked helplessly to the table, looked at these guys who seemed to be going to war, sighed deeply, straightened his collar, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said with a hint of impatience in his voice:

"Then I'll be the referee! I'll definitely officiate fairly and beautifully!"

"Let's begin dealing the cards!"

Gengo crossed his arms, picked up the first card dealt to him like in Yu-Gi-Oh!, gave an exaggeratedly wicked smile, and said softly:

"Hmph! Perfect hand!"

.........

Besides being tense and exciting, playing cards is also a good time for chatting and joking. As Gensou won more and more, he also learned that although the Holy Lord of Truth had died, when that guy colluded with Megid, he gave away many secrets and treasures of the Sword of Truth to the enemy, which has brought a lot of trouble to the Sword of Truth now.

However, the trouble is relative. After experiencing that battle, the swordsmen's horizons suddenly became quite 'high'. So much so that when the three giants of Megid appeared in front of them, the swordsmen simply unleashed a single sword strike without any fluctuation. Moreover, Megid seemed to still be afraid of Gensou's appearance, and their actions during this period were extremely secretive. It's just unknown what they were plotting in the dark.

Yuanxiang didn't offer to help either. This level of difficulty was more than enough for the swordsmen of the Sword of Truth to handle. If he were to take on too much, they would probably be the first to object.

"What are you doing?"

At that moment, Ryo Onoue, carrying the Holy Sword, pushed open the door from the second floor, looked at the group playing cards, and spread his hands in confusion, saying:

"Weren't you supposed to confess your feelings? Where are you? What happened? Why are you guys playing around instead?"

"Uncle Onoue, that topic is over."

Hido Ren, clutching the cards in her hand, looked at the game with a serious expression and casually remarked:

"So you thought you hadn't noticed at all?"

"No, it's over!? I'm still waiting... never mind."

Ryo Oogami, his face full of question marks, sighed and walked down the stairs, leaning on the handrail. Since they seemed so relaxed, it meant the problem shouldn't be too serious... Ugh, I'm still so angry! We agreed that after things succeeded, I'd get to wield the Holy Sword and make a big splash! How could they forget about me? Damn it! Now, watch me win back all my glory at the card game!!!

......

"Everyone, are you hungry... huh?"

A moment later, Sofia pushed open the door and smiled as she asked the people in the hall. But before she could finish speaking, she saw that everyone except Genji was covered in slips of paper. After a pause, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. The others looked helplessly at Genji, who was sitting in the main seat shuffling the cards. This guy's luck was really outrageous. Except for one game where he tied with Kamiyama Touma at Sic Bo, he lost every other game.

"Yuanxiang, if you have this kind of luck, do you even need to open a law firm?"

Hido Ren rested her head on the table and said weakly:

"If you're short of money, just go to the casino and have a couple of rounds; it won't make you rich overnight."

"Don't say that, I have a blood feud with casinos."

Genshou chuckled and gently tapped the Wind Swordsman on the head, then looked at Sophia and said:

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I see everyone is having so much fun, and it's almost noon, so how about we grab something to eat first? Ms. Kato and I have prepared some food together, and we'd like everyone to try it."

Sofia's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she spoke, looking as if she was about to drag everyone out of the kitchen and start eating right away.

"Thank you so much, I'll help serve the dishes."

"Me too! Me too!"

Kamiyama Touma ripped the note off his face, raised his hand, and ran out. Tomiya Kento followed closely behind. During the card game, they had both made threats, saying they wouldn't rest until they stuck a note on Gensou. Now that they finally had something to change the subject, they had to run away as fast as they could.

Since Kamiyama Touyu had set this example, the hall was instantly filled with people rushing around, including Genji. It was as if serving dishes was another competitive game. Therefore, very quickly, all the dishes from the kitchen were brought out. However, due to the limited ingredients available at the Sword of Truth, they were mainly sushi and rice balls, but...

Yuanxiang looked at the peaches and peach sandwiches that everyone had placed in front of him in such a tacit manner, and was speechless for a moment. He smiled bitterly to himself and almost cried. Eating so many peaches in one meal would really make him throw up. What kind of person was he in the past?

Forget it, let's eat. There's nothing more to say; it's all for the sake of my persona.

Gensho ate a peach with a grin, watching Oogami Ryo bring his son over for a free meal. Suddenly, Daishinji Tetsuo's gaze was drawn to a huge rice ball. The rice, too big to hold in both hands, was topped with four sheets of seaweed, looking incredibly tempting. He looked around, making sure no one was going to take it from him, so he carefully picked it up, examined it, and took a bite. Then, with a 'pfft', he spat it out. This… was way too salty!!

Although his swordsman's quick thinking allowed him to instantly turn his head to avoid spitting on other food, the Sound Swordsman's expression still turned quite ugly. It was simple: judging from the food on the table, the difference in the makers' culinary skills was obvious.

Compared to the unfamiliar Kato Megumi, Tetsuo Ooshita was more confident that Sophia, who was less skilled in cooking, was the one on his side, because she had never cooked before. Tetsuo Ooshita, the Sword of Truth Otaku, was quite certain of this. So, the Swordsman of Sound slowly raised his head and looked at the manager standing on the second floor watching everyone eat.

After a three-second silence, Sofia covered her face, squatted down, and apologized sheepishly, saying:

"I'm sorry, I followed Ms. Kato's instructions and the methods in the book, but I didn't do it well. I'm really sorry!"

"........"

Upon hearing this, Touma Kamiyama, Kento Fukamiya, and Ren Hishido quietly moved to a blind spot where Sophia couldn't see them. They stood in a row, silently raising their hands and clenching their fists as if to encourage Tetsuo Oota. Oota's eyes widened suddenly. Before he could even say anything, he saw Yuri walk up to him. Although he didn't speak, light shone from his hand. As everyone knows, Yuri's light has a healing effect.

Tetsuo Oohamaji's eyes widened even more, and at that moment, Gensho, who was holding a can of peaches, coughed and looked at him softly, saying:

"Mr. Daishinji, now is not the time for pranks."

"........."

Tetsuo Oochin fell silent. He glanced furtively at Sofia, who was still covering her face but peeking through her fingers at him. He swallowed hard, then slowly brought the rice ball closer to his face. Then he heard Sofia timidly whisper:

"Actually... you don't need to force yourself to eat..."

"........."

Tetsuo Ooqinji didn't speak, but quickened his pace, taking a large bite of the rice ball. To avoid seeming forced, he chewed it several times before swallowing. Then, he looked up, smiled at Sophia, and whispered:

"tasty!"

"Then you must finish it!"

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

Before Sophia could respond, Yuri patted the Sound Swordsman on the shoulder and chuckled as he added insult to injury. Kamiyama Touma and the others immediately joined in the commotion. Daishinji Tetsuo looked at the rice ball, which he had only taken two big bites of and was still less than a quarter of its original size, and his face turned ashen.

"Give me a peach."

Gensho leaned closer and gently placed a large, red peach into Tetsuo Ootaji's hand, saying softly:

"Rice balls are delicious, but they're best eaten with some condiments."

"Thank you!"

Tetsuo Oomoto looked deeply at Genji, moved. This detective truly had a conscience, unlike his teammates... wait a minute!

Tetsuo Oochin suddenly realized something. He looked at the rice ball in his left hand, then at the large peach in his right, and finally at his own belly. Without a second thought, he silently began to eat. *Master, I might become the first Sound Swordsman to die from overeating on the Sword of Truth...*

"I didn't realize you were such a good cook."

On the other side, Gengo, holding a peach, walked up to Kato Megumi, looked at the quiet girl, and said with a smile:

"You're much better than your cousin at this."

"Just comparing me to him, I feel like I've already lost."

Kato Megumi wiped her mouth with a tissue, looked up at Gengo, and said:

Have you ever tried my cousin's cooking?

"I've tried it, though only once."

Gensho tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying:

"That was when we were playing basketball at the stadium. He mistook me for a classmate, came over to say hello, and asked which class I was in."

"I see, then..."

Kato Megumi brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and looked at Gengo, saying:

"If I didn't find an opportunity, I'd cook you a meal just for you to try?"

342 Forget it, I'm not eating their dog food anymore.

"Everyone! We're back!"

As Kato Megumi asked her question, the gate to the Sword of Truth base was pushed open, and Sudo Mei, holding Shindo Rintaro's hand, ran back happily. This didn't seem like Shindo Rintaro had come to confess his love to her; it was more like the chieftain had kidnapped a bandit queen.

And judging from their expressions, it goes without saying that they've definitely made it work. Otherwise, Shindo Rintaro wouldn't be laughing so carefree. Seeing this, everyone immediately surrounded them and started teasing them. Gengo also joined in with a smile, looking at the two of them blushing. However, the teasing didn't last long. After a brief flirtation, everyone let the new couple go and continued with their own things. For example, Ooji Tetsuo looked at the half-eaten rice ball, internally grimacing as he sprinkled chili powder on it to neutralize the excessive salt, and then continued eating.
