Shijima glanced at Gengo, whose face showed embarrassment, and raised an eyebrow in confusion. The boy grinned sheepishly and said:
"Could I give you a ride? It's not very convenient for me to ride a motorcycle over there, so..."
Yuanxiang smacked his hands and chuckled as he said:
"My hands are itching just a little bit..."
"Do you... have an ID photo? Never mind, you can come here."
Shijima thought for a moment, then waved his hand, put on his helmet, and sat on the back. Gensho smiled shyly and couldn't wait to get on.
"Turn on the walkie-talkie on your helmet so I can tell you the route. First, just drive straight down this road... Wow!!!"
The words had barely left his mouth when Shijima heard the roar of the engine and was nearly knocked off his seat by the powerful thrust. He then felt as if he were riding a rocket, propelled forward. And... having witnessed Genji's use of wind power in Fuuto, Shijima seriously suspected that the man had also applied that power to this motorcycle. After all, he didn't think his own motorcycle could reach that speed!
"That felt amazing!"
Just fifteen minutes later, Gengo, having removed his helmet, let out a refreshed breath, then looked at Shijima Tsuyoshi beside him, who seemed to be about to lose his mind, and said softly:
Is this the place?
"Ah...this is it."
Shi Dao shook his head to compose himself, glanced at the mountain path beside him, and said softly:
"You go first, take my signal locomotive and go up. Your brother-in-law will believe you."
Seeing Shijima's expression, Gengo stuck out his tongue sheepishly, injected Ripple into Shijima's body, and then took the signal trolley and walked up. Not far away, Gengo saw a rather large temple with a plaque that read "Great Sky Temple".
Big Sky Temple?
Isn't this where Xiao Zun lives?
Gensou paused for a moment, recalling the junior he had once known. A touch of warmth lingered in his still-existing memories, but he quickly put his mind at ease. After all, he had already seen Fuuto from the parallel world before, and the Great Tenkuji Temple in this world might not be Tenkuji-no-Mikoto's residence. So, he decided to go in and see whose residence it was.
"Musashi's spirit, my Musashi's spirit!!"
However, as soon as he stepped inside, Gengo heard a familiar voice, and at the same time, a familiar energy wave followed. Without hesitation, the boy wrapped the power of 'Joker' in his hand and swiftly unleashed the [Tiger Climbs the Mountain] attack at the air not far away. In that instant, the monster named Gamma was blasted away by the fierce attack and embedded deeply in the nearby artificial hill. The eye soul of Miyamoto Musashi, which had been stolen by Gamma, also fell into Gengo's hands. Gengo casually weighed it in his hand and tossed it forward, where it landed squarely in the hands of the boy who rushed out.
"Ugh!! Musashi Soul! Gamma, don't think...."
It was Tenkuuji Takeru, without a doubt. The person appearing before Gengo was his former comrade-in-arms. Gengo smiled gently and waved at him, while Tenkuuji Takeru stood there dumbfounded, blinking blankly. At this moment, a group of people poured out of the temple. There were men and women in formal attire, presumably a group from the Special Investigations Division, and others who appeared with monks, presumably members of the temple. However, there was one unexpected person among them. Gengo silently put away Shijima Tsuyoshi's signal scooter. Just then, a joyful shout rang out, and Tenkuuji Takeru pounced over like a bear, eagerly embracing Gengo. The boy also used his power to wrap himself up to prevent his friend from passing right through his body.
"Yuanxiang, Yuanxiang, is it really you? Yuanxiang!"
"It's me, it's me, the real me."
Gengo gently pressed down on Tenkuji Takeru's shoulder, who was so excited he wanted to jump up, and said softly:
"Don't be in such a hurry to ask me about my situation. Let me introduce you to your friends first. They're so curious that they'll want to grab you and ask me about my background."
"No way, Yuanxiang, don't joke like that."
Tenkuuji Takeru took a breath. Although he was still a spirit, the reunion with his friends still filled him with emotion. He turned around and introduced them from left to right:
"This is Mr. Shinnosuke Tomari from the Special Investigations Division of the police station. Next to him is Ms. Kiriko Shijima, who is also from the Special Investigations Division. And then there is Ms. Kiriko Shijima's younger brother, Mr. Go Shijima. Although he is not a police officer, he is indeed a Kamen Rider."
378 Is this a human being?
Gengo looked at Tomari Shinnosuke, Shijima Kiriko, and that 'Shijima Tsuyoshi' and smiled and nodded. The three of them also quickly gave a friendly response. After all, in the conversation just now, they realized that Tenkuji Takeru was definitely not the culprit of the various incidents recently. And the person who was welcomed so warmly by Tenkuji Takeru must be his friend. It would be too impolite to be negligent.
“Gengo, this is Yamauchi Misaki, who is currently the acting abbot of Daitenkuji Temple.”
Tenkuuji Monk waited a moment, then continued his introduction. The young monk in robes quickly straightened his posture and said gently:
"This humble monk has met Mr. Gensho. My esteemed friend has mentioned you many times. Now, seeing you in person is truly an honor. You are indeed a young and promising man."
"You flatter me. I have also heard of you, Master, but it seems he has been a little restrained in his praise of you."
Gensato smiled and returned the greeting softly. Upon hearing this, Yamauchi Misaki's eyes lit up, and he straightened up happily, saying:
"Really...really?! Hahaha, this humble monk truly feels unworthy of such praise, so unworthy, hahaha...drink!!"
Suddenly, Yamauchi Misaki shouted loudly, clenched his fist with unusual excitement, and said:
"I will definitely work even harder!!!"
"Ah, I also look forward to Master's further progress."
Although he felt the goodwill from Yamauchi Misaki, Gengo was still a little uncomfortable, or rather, the man's reaction was a bit too much for him to handle. However, this was not a big deal; perhaps this was just the man's personality.
"This is Akari Tsukimura, my childhood friend. She majored in physics in college and believes that even incredible phenomena can be explained from a scientific perspective. She's a typical 'science girl'."
Seeing that Mikurichi had calmed down, Takeru Tenkuji continued introducing the last member present. The girl with the student-style haircut smiled, bowed to Genji, and then said softly:
"Xiao Zun is grateful for your care."
"You're too kind. We're all friends, so it's only right that we take care of each other. Please don't be so formal. Just call me Yuanxiang or Xiang. We'll see each other often in the future, so there's no need to be so polite."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Yuanxiang."
Akari Tsukimura smiled and nodded, then turned her head slightly and gave Tenkuji a threatening look. Tenkuji Takeru understood what she meant; she was complaining that he should have introduced her properly instead of adding something like "science girl" at the end!
In response, Takeru Tenkuji gave a good-natured smile. After all, childhood friends are a rather special kind of relationship, so it's normal to be a little quirky when introducing them. This is one of the little tricks that his senior Philip taught him on "how to get along well with a good friend of the opposite sex." Ah, as expected of Fuuto Detective's partner, he's quite emotionally intelligent when it comes to interpersonal relationships.
"Your Excellency, let's try Musashi Soul first."
At this moment, Gensou looked at Tenkuuji and suggested:
"After all, there is a time difference. It would be bad if something were done to us."
"OK, all right."
Hearing this, Tenkuuji Takeru nodded, reached for his waist, and the transformation belt appeared out of thin air. Compared to his awkwardness when they last met, the boy was much more skilled now. He opened the outer cover of the transformation device, put the Eyecon into it, and made a 'EYE!' sound.
Then, amidst the repeated "BacchiriMina!" chime, a ghostly hoodie flew out from the center of the transformation belt, swirling around Takeru Tenkuji. Takeru Tenkuji formed hand seals, simultaneously pulling and pushing the handle next to the transformation device, and shouted:
"Henshin!"
'Kaigan! Musashi! Duel! Zubatto! The Ultimate Swordsman!'
As the transformation sound effect ended, the red ghost hoodie landed on Takeru Tenkuji's body, and the hair ornament resembling a sword hilt was particularly eye-catching. At the same time, the dual swords were also hanging on both sides of Kamen Rider Ghost, giving him a very swordsman-like style.
"Gengo, no problem, the power of Musashi's soul is normal."
Tenkuji Takeru tried swinging his weapon, feeling the reaction, and was definitely talking to Gengo. But in that instant, Gengo moved like a cheetah, pouncing on Shijima Tsuyoshi, who was rubbing his chin and looking bored. The aura of "No Two Strikes" instantly swallowed him up, and in the blink of an eye, he mercilessly punched Shijima Tsuyoshi.
"Just!"
Everything happened so fast that even Takeru Tenkuji, who had just transformed, couldn't keep up with Gengo's movements. Seeing her younger brother being sent flying, Kiriko Shijima screamed and instinctively drew the pistol from her waist. But just as the pistol was pointed at Gengo, the boy's hand, which had been waiting for a long time, reached out and grabbed the gun. With a twist, Kiriko Shijima felt an overwhelming force coming from the pistol, making it impossible for her to hold on. She could only helplessly watch it fly out of her hand.
"Kiriko! Mr. Belt..."
At that moment, Shinnosuke Tomari also realized what was happening. He lifted his suit jacket as if preparing to do something, but in that instant, his movements froze. His eyes lowered, and he saw Kamen Rider Ghost's twin swords pressed against his neck. The Special Investigations Division officer's face was extremely grim; he was barely suppressing his anger as he whispered:
"Xiao Zun, do you know what you're doing?"
"To be honest, I'm not quite sure."
Beneath the mask, Takeru Tenkuuji's expression was unusually solemn as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly:
“But since Gensho is going to do this, he must have his reasons. I will assist him no matter what. So I’m sorry, Officer Tobo, but you must behave yourself until Gensho completes his operation. Otherwise, I will have to be impolite!”
"you......."
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?"
Just as the atmosphere became strangely tense, an unexpected sound came from the entrance of the Great Sky Temple. Shijima Tsuyoshi, who seemed to have been hollowed out, looked at the scene of the fight and was unable to understand what was going on. With the appearance of Shijima Tsuyoshi, the 'Shijima Tsuyoshi' who was being pinned to the ground by Gengo and had his face torn off, shouted without thinking. With the appearance of an invisible aura, the surrounding air seemed to become turbid, and everyone's movements became unusually slow, as if a video was being played in slow motion.
"Heavy Acceleration..."
Shijima Kiriko struggled to reveal the truth behind the anomaly. At the same time, strange energy emanated from Tomari Shinnosuke and Shijima Tsuyoshi, freeing them from the shackles of heavy acceleration. Simultaneously, a toy-like road rapidly unfolded from the side, bringing the transformation belts Tomari Shinnosuke needed—DriveDriver, ShiftCar, and ShiftBrace—to his hands. Tomari Shinnosuke gripped ShiftCar tightly, placed his hand on the car key-shaped rotary switch in the upper right corner of DriveDriver, and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Belt, come run a lap with me."
"OK, Shinnosuke."
Surprisingly, a digital emoticon appeared on the display screen in the middle of the Drive and responded to Shinnosuke with voice. It was clearly an AI with a high level of intelligence or even self-awareness, which was truly astonishing.
but......
As the fake 'Shijima Go' dispelled its disguise and attempted to break free from Genji's grasp and escape, it found itself unable to shake off the hand gripping its neck. The Roidmude blinked in disbelief, then saw a faint purple glow envelop the boy before it. After a few slow twitches, the boy moved its neck freely, and to everyone's astonishment, whispered:
"I see, a special gravitational field? Interesting, but if you think you can use this to deal with me, you seem to be a few years too late."
"Damn it..."
'Thump!'
Roidmude cursed the boy who had ruined his plans, reaching out to take his life. But at that moment, everyone saw two unknown Kamen Rider figures suddenly appear behind Gengo. As the two phantoms' heavy punches landed, Roidmude instantly crashed, his mechanical body collapsing. Amidst the debris, a string of numbers floated out, but those numbers flickered like gibberish before finally fading away.
As the Roidmude was defeated, the surrounding acceleration was also deactivated, and everyone regained their freedom. However, they all looked at Genji with disbelief. Fighting a monster with their bare hands was such an incredible thing.
"Anyway, let's explain what's going on first."
Tenkuuji Takeru was the first to recover, having seen even more outrageous things before. So he deactivated his transformation and gestured for everyone to go inside and sit down to talk. Genji nodded and went in first, taking advantage of the opportunity to cough lightly and spit out all the blood stuck in his throat.
"Nothing to be surprised about."
Then, Yamauchi Misaki regained his normal expression, held up his palm, and looked at Tomari Shinnosuke, who was still in a state of shock, and said:
"After all, Mr. Gengo once saved the world and the future Kamen Rider. It is only natural that he could do this with his own body."
After saying that, Yamauchi Minamoto pulled Tsukimura Akari into the temple. Tomari Shinnosuke's belt flashed, and the electronic screen displayed a stunned digital expression. He whispered:
"Oh my God, this is impossible, this is not scientific, that's Roidmude..."
"Mr. Belt..."
At this moment, Tomari Shinnosuke glanced at the item Shijima Kiriko handed him, paused for a moment, then took it and waved it at his belt to indicate it. Looking at the pistol with its barrel bent, the belt-wearing man was speechless, as if his worldview had been shattered, and began to blink frequently. Tomari Shinnosuke and Shijima Kiriko exchanged a glance, the former following closely behind Yamauchi Misaki, while the latter went to check on her younger brother.
"That Roidmude doesn't seem to be the Roidmude we know."
At this moment, Gengo was talking quietly with Tenkuji Takeru. They had heard 'Heart' say that each Roidmude had a 'number'. As long as the number was not broken, the Roidmude would not die and would have the opportunity to make a comeback at any time. However, the Roidmude they encountered this time not only had its number in a scrambled state, but also went on its own to perish without being attacked. This obviously did not match what Heart had said.
"You two, do you... know any other Roidmude?"
As he entered, Tomari Shinnosuke sat down somewhat reservedly, took the tea offered by Yamauchi Misaki, and said softly:
"I didn't mean anything by it, I just heard what you said..."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just an ordinary detective."
Seeing that even Shinnosuke Tomari was almost using honorifics, Gengo smiled helplessly and said softly:
"I'm just someone who gets into more fights and has some brute strength, but I'm not a big shot. So let's be friends."
