"Uncle, I'm back."
Just before dinnertime, Tokiwa Sougo returned. He clearly had a great time, carrying several bags filled with groceries he'd bought while out having fun. As he opened the door, he looked up and saw Gengo, wearing an apron and carrying plates, smiling and calling out towards the kitchen:
"Uncle, you guessed right. Zhuang Wu really did return at this time."
"Of course! I'm your great-uncle, how could I not guess? Hahahaha!!"
Amidst Tokiwa Junichiro's hearty laughter, Tokiwa Sougo cheered, tossed the bag aside, and ran towards Gengo. Gengo skillfully threw the plate onto the table, then swiftly deflected Tokiwa Sougo's attacking hand. With a flick of his wrist, he pinned Tokiwa Sougo's chin to his index finger, finally flicking it and saying with a smile:
"You little brat, you're already thinking of sparring with me?"
"Isn't this to let you know that I haven't stopped my morning exercise routine lately?"
Tokiwa Sougo grinned and put his arm around Gengo's shoulder, leaning against the boy's back as he happily said:
"Yuanxiang, when did you arrive? If you had come earlier, we could have gone out and played together. You have no idea how many places we visited today, and..."
At this point, Tokiwa Sougo, hands on his hips and chest puffed out with a smug look, said:
"Everyone's saying that if I were king, I'd definitely be a wise one, hahaha. So, Yuanxiang, haven't I done a good job these past few days?"
"Not bad, quite good."
Gengo clapped his hands in praise, and as he caught Tokiwa Junichiro's gesture out of the corner of his eye, he took off his apron and struck up a conversation with Tokiwa Sougo:
"I learned about this from my uncle when I arrived. It's really amazing that you were able to improve your score so much in such a short time. I never expected you to be such a learning genius."
"this......."
Upon hearing this, Gengo noticed Tokiwa Sougo's expression stiffen slightly. Then, glancing at his great-uncle busy in the kitchen, Gengo pulled him aside to a small corner and whispered:
"Actually, that score wasn't something I achieved through hard work..."
"Hmm!? Explain in detail."
Gengo raised an eyebrow in surprise. He didn't think Tokiwa Sougo would be the one to cheat, so he was curious about what had made him say such a thing. At that moment, Tokiwa Sougo took out the 'Time' memory that Gengo had given him earlier from his pocket and whispered:
“During those days, I had intermittent dreams about what it was like to take the exam. Although I couldn’t clearly see what was written on the exam paper, I had a vague feeling that the knowledge points tested were from which area. So I studied specifically for it as if I had hit the jackpot, and then I got that score.”
"And... are your dreams all because you've come into contact with this memory?"
Genji looked thoughtfully at the memory, then picked up where Tokiwa Sougo left off. The young king nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice:
"That's how it is. At first, I was just lying in bed before going to sleep, thinking about how this thing was related to me. I fell asleep while looking at it and then started dreaming. In the following days, I discovered that the source of my dreams was it."
"Don't worry, it's probably just a normal phenomenon caused by the high compatibility of the memories. My 'joker' has also been strengthening my body intentionally or unintentionally because of this."
Gengo took the 'Time' memory, wanting to access the data as before, but encountered resistance. This made the boy's expression complicated. In that instant, he finally understood the feelings of those monsters who wanted to possess 'Joker'. Although the resistance of 'Time' was not insurmountable, it was still something related to Sougo. Gengo felt it was unnecessary to use such ruthless methods, so he held it in his hand and said softly:
"Sougo, don't underestimate this broken memory. It has quite a background. It was formed from the Earth Library, the core of Earth's memory. So it's not surprising that its power was unintentionally activated."
"Oh, I see. To be honest, I was really scared again."
Hearing Gengo's explanation, Tokiwa Sougo breathed a sigh of relief. He had been so nervous those few days, worried that something might go wrong and he didn't dare to use the power, while at the same time he wanted to take a gamble and try it out. That feeling of being torn was much more exciting than taking an exam.
"It's such a pity. It's a pity that I still can't repair this memory."
Genji didn't notice Tokiwa Sougo's expression; he stared at the memory and said helplessly:
"If this power could be fully manifested, perhaps..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tokiwa Junichiro poked his head out and asked curiously:
"What power?"
"It's nothing, Uncle, let's eat!"
346 U Meaah!
The sudden appearance of Tokiwa Junichiro interrupted Gengo's words, and Tokiwa Sougo quickly laughed it off to cover up the matter. The uncle was not a person who cared about it, and just smiled and entertained the two children with their meal. After the meal, Gengo chatted with them for a while, then said goodbye to them and turned back to the office.
For the next two days, Genji continued his peaceful detective life as before, except that he would go out to get off work overtime at night, using the blessing of 'Glory' to enter the 'Earth Library' to collect information related to the memory. Then, following the clues, he destroyed all the remnants of the 'Museum' and the Foundation X in Fuuto. At this time, Fuuto could be said to have ushered in a long-awaited true peace.
Although the storm had subsided, new troubles were brewing elsewhere. Just as Gengo was counting down the days until he could invite everyone to a gathering at the office, the 'door' emitted a light. Gengo skillfully put on his coat and equipped himself with the memory. Knowing that this door belonged to his past self, just looking at it made Gengo feel exceptionally at ease. He no longer had to worry that while he was busy in other worlds, he might be secretly doing what some people wanted, or that while doing good deeds, he was also aiding and abetting evil.
Pushing open the door, Gengo found himself in a world that seemed strangely familiar. The advertisements promoting artificial intelligence clearly indicated that this was the world he had visited before, but hadn't had a chance to make a move. If he remembered correctly, this world was characterized by 'humagear', a type of android with artificial intelligence. However, based on the previous situation, this android didn't seem safe and had the potential to go berserk, just like it was now.
Yuanxiang suddenly bent down and retreated, dodging the attack from behind. Then, he clenched his fist and struck the enemy's lower back with a powerful blow. Even the mechanical shell underwent a subtle deformation in that instant. The boy shook his hand, looked at the lizard-like monster, and provocatively beckoned with his finger. Yuanxiang had been practicing the technique he learned from Mr. Li Shuwen. Now that he had such a solid target, he naturally had to practice it properly.
However, during the battle, although Genji had the upper hand, he sensed something unusual. There seemed to be some strange data flowing through the body of this berserk Humagear. That's right, it was like E. coli. As long as it didn't get into the stomach, it would be a probiotic for humans.
It looks like we need to stop it first.
Seeing the increasingly frenzied monster, Gengo took a deep breath, gathering the power of 'Joker' in his fist, with a faint purple light flashing between his fingers. Then he kicked the monster's knee from behind, and then, seizing the moment when the monster bent over, he punched it hard. Visibly, the monster's head caved in, and at the same time, all its movements stopped, and it collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
Okay, now let me.....
Gensho clapped his hands, looked at the astonished people around him, reached out and grabbed the mechanical monster's ankle, intending to drag it to a secluded place for further study. After all, judging from their expressions, defeating an enemy with bare hands seemed somewhat unbelievable. Since that was the case, there was no need to stay any longer and make them uneasy. Besides, seeing how they wanted to take out their phones to take pictures but were held down by the 'wind,' he felt uncomfortable and decided not to make things difficult for them.
But just as Gensou was about to leave, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps. A young man with a belt around his waist, who seemed to have just been in a fight, appeared in front of the boy. He looked at the defeated monster, then at Gensou's hand, and for some reason, his eyes suddenly turned red. He roared:
"You bastard, do you even know what you've done?!"
'Jump!'
As he roared, the man pressed down on the old-fashioned cassette tape-like device in his hand, then flung it outwards, revealing a key-like protrusion. He then inserted the device into his waist drive from the side. Immediately afterward, a beam of emerald green light descended from the sky, and a mechanical locust with programmed patterns appeared beside the young man, jumping around wildly. Each jump caused damage to the street floor.
Then, with the help of the driver, the Kamen Rider's body attached itself to the youth. The mechanical locust also disintegrated and turned into armor that attached itself to the youth's entire body. A Kamen Rider with a main color of bright green and scarlet compound eyes appeared in front of Gengo.
'Authorize! Progrise! Rise! Risinghopper! A jump to the sky turns to an arider kick!'
The transformation sound effects were still echoing through the streets when the Kamen Rider rushed up and threw a punch at Gengo. However, this guy seemed to be a novice, as he had no fighting style whatsoever and had an inexplicable confidence in the battle. It's a big no-no when your feet are off the ground and you can't get any leverage during a fight, so why was he so confident?
Gengo subconsciously commented, then raised his leg and kicked hard at the oncoming Kamen Rider. Although there seemed to be some distance, the gust of wind that rushed out perfectly made up for the gap, instantly disrupting the Kamen Rider's balance. Then, Gengo grabbed his arm, slammed him to the ground, and followed up with a knee strike, causing the man's reaction to pause for a moment. Finally, he kicked him far away. In any case, Gengo hadn't transformed yet, and trying to suppress a transformed Kamen Rider with his physical body was far too arrogant.
"Calm down."
Gengo took out the Gaia Memory and waved it at the Kamen Rider, saying:
"You should realize the difference between us by now, right? I can transform, you know. Once I transform, you won't be a match for me. How about we talk now?"
"Talk? What's there to talk about?!"
The Kamen Rider yelled hoarsely at Gengo, as if he had a blood feud with him, attacking Gengo while roaring:
"Humagears have dreams too! You bunch of bastards, don't destroy other people's dreams for your own greed! Aren't you humagears too? Does destroying humagears' dreams really satisfy you?!"
Wow, what a passionate young man!
Genji took a step back with a black line on his face, making a "ume" sound (the Japanese pronunciation of "dream"), which messed up his hair. But he seemed to have misunderstood something. Did I look like a villain just now?
Gengo was somewhat displeased with this. Back then, Godai-sensei kicked me because he had transformed and didn't look like a human. I haven't even transformed yet, and you can't even hold back? That's going too far.
"Wait, I am human, not the humagear you're talking about."
"Nonsense!"
The Kamen Rider, without even thinking, directly refuted:
"I can't detect your heartbeat at all. You... have you even abandoned your true identity?!"
Forget it, this guy won't listen to reason anymore.
Gengo's lips twitched, and he helplessly pressed the Gaia Memory button. Watching the Kamen Rider charging towards him, he took a fighting stance and slowly clenched his fist. In that instant, the Kamen Rider felt as if something had locked onto him, and he was entering an extremely dangerous situation. Every hair, muscle, and nerve in his body tensed up instantly. Even before the fight began, his body seemed to be out of control, and his movements became severely distorted. He wanted to struggle and roar, but it was all in vain. He watched Gengo's fist approach him little by little, and the oppressive feeling that could suffocate an ordinary person made the Kamen Rider roll his eyes.
In the end, Gengo didn't throw that punch, but the Kamen Rider had already fallen to the ground, clutching his neck, writhing as if unable to breathe. The transformation ended, revealing his original form. Gengo crouched down, using Ripple to soothe the man's abnormal state, then looked at the hand he held and whispered:
“I am human, without a doubt, but I do not have a heart because it has not fully grown yet, and you are still alive.”
Yuanxiang helped the young man up, leaned him against the wall, and said softly:
"If I were the enemy, you'd be dead by now."
"Who...who exactly are you?"
The young man, his face ashen, asked weakly:
"Neither my company nor Bu Po's side should have a Knight System of your type."
"Me? Just a detective who was drawn here."
Yuanxiang smiled and continued to use his energy fluctuations to help the young man stand up, replying:
"I'm also a Kamen Rider, so we're in the same line of work. Now, can you explain to me what happened?"
"Aims! Don't move!"
Just then, a transport truck rushed in, led by the same guy who had broken the transformation device with brute force. He stared intently at Genji. According to the intelligence, this guy had defeated the Magia monster with brute force alone. Something was definitely wrong!
"If you don't break through, put down the gun."
Before Yuanxiang could react, the young man waved his hand at the man and said, "It seems that he is not our enemy for the time being. Have the riots in other places been dealt with?"
"...It's been dealt with."
Fuwa hesitated for a moment, then put down his gun and said:
"I can tell you very clearly that if you dare to do anything reckless, I will definitely not let you off the hook."
"Excuse me, sir, what's your name...?"
"Impartiality and Admonition".
“Fuwa Isamu, I’ve seen your transformation.”
Yuanxiang said with a smile:
"You're very cool and powerful, but your strength is still a bit lacking. Your threats don't have much effect on me, but I'm willing to abide by your rules for now. Okay, let's go somewhere else. I'm totally confused right now. And, buddy."
At this point, Yuanxiang gently nudged the young man beside him and pointed behind him, saying:
"Is that humagear yours? It's been standing here watching you since the very beginning."
"Iz?!"
"President."
Upon hearing this, the young man instinctively turned around. The woman with humagear earrings crossed her arms over her stomach, bowed slightly to him, and said softly:
"The car is ready. Shall we head back to the company?"
“President?!”
Yuanxiang glanced at the young man beside him with surprise, then silently got into the car.
