Yuanxiang tapped Danzhu's little nose and said with a smile:
"Before you lecture me with these words, you should calm down and act according to this advice yourself."
After saying this, Yuanxiang hummed a little tune, pushed open the door, and left the office. Behind him, Cangxuan and Danzhu fell into silence for a moment. After a long while, Danzhu grabbed her sister's sleeve and whispered:
"Um... Gensou was joking with me, right? He definitely won't forget this, right?"
"...Sleep well, Danzhu."
Cang Xuan did not answer the question, but his tactful words had already said too much and exposed Dan Zhu's self-deceiving thoughts. The girl's lips trembled slightly, and she did not know what to say. She could only silently follow her sister back to the room.
Outside the office, Gengo felt as if something was calling to him. Well, "calling" isn't quite the right word; it was more like an intuition. He vaguely sensed that he should come out and take a look, otherwise, he might regret something.
However, once he was out, Gengo didn't know where to go and could only wander aimlessly. But the streets weren't as deserted as Gengo had imagined. Everyone had been missing this boy who had been gone for more than a week. After walking only two streets, Gengo was carrying a bag of fresh peaches in his left hand, a gift from Hanako. In his right hand, he had originally been carrying a bag of sweets, a gift from Granny Senju. Now, the bag of sweets was in the bag on his back, a gift from Manka, who was on patrol and worked with Uncle Renno. He was also wearing a mask at an angle, a gift from Shirogane, who said it could ward off evil spirits. She had it blessed at the Kamen Rider Pilgrimage Site.
What the hell is this Kamen Rider parade ground? I've been away from Fuuto for a while, and what kind of trouble has he been causing up there?
Yuanxiang had a lot of complaints stuck in his throat, almost causing him internal injuries. He decided that no matter where he went next, he had to go to that Kamen Rider parade holy site. To be honest, it was really a bit outrageous.
However, I am very grateful to accept this mask. On one hand, it is Sister Baiyin's kind gesture, and on the other hand, seeing that I already have something on my head, everyone stopped giving me more. They very considerately gave me a free hand to eat. Of course, my backpack was still stuffed full. How should I put it? Now Yuanxiang feels like a young wife returning to her parents' home, the kind who has been bullied by her husband's family outside. Everyone is here to comfort her.
"Kamen Rider's Pilgrimage Site... Kamen Rider's Pilgrimage Site..."
Yuanxiang muttered to himself as he walked through the streets and alleys, munching on peaches as he went. To be honest, he didn't really want to eat them. Although Hanako had washed the peaches clean, he only realized that he actually liked peaches when he heard people talking around him. So he quickly started eating them quietly.
Looks like I'll have to go to the Earth Library again to check my information.
After throwing the peach pit into the trash can, the boy unconsciously pondered that the losses caused by this reconstruction were quite severe.
Is this the place?
A moment later, Gengo arrived at a garden that was still under reconstruction. This was one of the sacred places for Kamen Rider tours that Shirogane had mentioned.
Yes, one of them. And this isn't an official list; it's a list compiled by fans based on places where Kamen Rider actually fought. They selected a few relatively remote locations where the battles were quite intense. According to forum posts, these places contain traces of Kamen Rider's blood and flesh, and praying here can convey your blessings to that dark warrior.
Thank you for your kindness.
Looking at the ema hanging around the park, Gengo couldn't help but smile knowingly, temporarily associating 'Gengo' with 'Kamen Rider'. But he immediately put that thought aside, continued munching on his peach, and walked inside. To be honest, he didn't remember what enemies he had fought here. Although being chosen must have its reasons, as the person involved, he really had no recollection of what those reasons were.
Ok?
At that moment, Genji suddenly sensed something and subconsciously turned his head to look. He saw a shadow, a shadow that he was certain only he could see, like an illusion. The boy followed it curiously to see what it was, but after turning the corner, he saw a park full of mess. In the middle of what looked like an explosion site, lay himself, and another guy wearing a Zaibatsu uniform who was half-paralyzed from the explosion. Then, he, who was also badly injured, crawled over and used the Joker Memory as a weapon to end the guy's life.
Just after the member of the X Foundation held his breath, the scene before him vanished. Genji blinked, and the park returned to its normal state. At the same time, the boy felt the tremor in his heart subside a little, but he also felt as if something had left him forever.
I see. Indeed, I need to take a look at this. If I don't, I might really feel very regretful.
Yuanxiang nodded in deep agreement, then continued to walk around, deciding to try his luck today and see how many places he could find.
"A village? Still wandering around outside so late at night?"
"Uncle Shirou, you don't seem to have the right to say that to me."
Outside the supermarket, Gengo ran into Shirou Takamachi. Judging from the uncle's empty hands, he didn't seem to be out shopping.
"Haha, I couldn't sleep late at night, so I came out for some fresh air."
Takamachi Shirou said with a smile:
"Want to wander around aimlessly together?"
"Alright, I was just wandering around aimlessly too. Speaking of which, Uncle Shirou, you really don't think Aunt Momoko wants another child...?"
"You brat."
Before he could finish speaking, Takamachi Shirou slapped him across the face in an annoyed tone, though not hard, and said with a smile:
"Believe it or not, I'll arrange a few blind dates for you tomorrow."
"No, no, it was my fault."
Yuanxiang immediately admitted his mistake, waving his hand to show that he was wrong.
Seeing Gensou like this, Takamachi Shirou smiled with satisfaction, then walked alongside the boy and said:
"To be honest, it's really a pity. If you could become my son-in-law, I'm afraid I'd be so happy I couldn't sleep."
"Then, for the sake of Uncle Shirou's sleep quality, I'll try my best to avoid this kind of thing from happening."
Gengo replied with a smile, as if to tease her. It's no wonder that Takamachi Shirou said that. He has a daughter named Takamachi Miyuki, whose original name was Mikami Miyuki. Although she was adopted by Takamachi Shirou, they love each other like family. Therefore, she is the eldest daughter of the Takamachi family. She is eight years older than Nanoha and is currently a second-year student at the private Kazemegaoka Academy (high school).
That person was skilled in the swordsmanship of "Kodachi Nitsuke-ryu" (Mikami Seiryu). During training, he learned the technique of using sound and airflow to sense things that exist outside his line of sight. In Mikami-ryu, this technique is called "Kami". He can sense the presence of someone outside a door even if the door is not opened by others.
Gengo had been instructed in related techniques by her before. At that time, Shirou Takamachi and Momoko Takamachi thought about bringing the two together. However, fate is a mysterious thing. Miyuki Takamachi was a beautiful woman, and Gengo's looks were also undeniable. Both of them had good personalities, but they just didn't click. Compared to romance, Miyuki Takamachi regarded Gengo as family. Therefore, Shirou Takamachi and Momoko Takamachi immediately stopped their matchmaking efforts to avoid the two children feeling awkward when they met, as parents.
When Shirou Takamachi brought up this matter, it wasn't to imply anything about Gengo; he was simply expressing his feelings. Gengo then picked up on the topic.
"By the way, Xiang, where did you find those two girls in your office?"
At that moment, Shirou Takamachi seemed to remember something, looked at the boy beside him, and said softly:
"A very good assistant. Cangxuan's insights into finance are beyond my imagination. Even those master-level financiers are not much better than her. Although Danzhu is a bit of a homebody, she is also very good at handling internal affairs. You are really amazing. You couldn't find two such experts when your grandfather was still alive, and you found two of them all at once."
Gengo understood that Takamachi Shirou was reminding him that the two were worthwhile talents to hire, but if he couldn't afford to support the sisters, it would be normal for them to leave. After all, Gengo's firm was just a small agency and couldn't handle such a big fish.
But speaking of assistants...
"Uncle Shirou, where is Seiichiro Matsui buried? I've forgotten."
Seiichiro Matsui, once an assistant to Shokichi Minamoto, was consumed by jealousy. He used the Gaia Memory and became a Spiderdopant. At that time, Shokichi Minamoto did not have the Gaia Memory and could only fight with his physical body. However, the Gaia Memory used by Spiderdopant was a severely unfinished product. Not long after using it, Seiichiro Matsui destroyed himself due to the toxins in the Gaia Memory.
"You don't need to ask that."
Shirou Takamachi shook his head and said:
“Mr. Zhuangji wouldn’t want you to go and pay respects. Although Matsui Seiichiro was your grandfather’s former partner, he did indeed harm the people of this city. Let someone like your grandfather, who also made mistakes, pay respects to him.”
Have you made the same mistake before?
Yuanxiang smiled, pressed down on his hat, and held up his finger, saying:
"First, I don't know the darkness in my partner's heart."
"Secondly, I hesitated for a moment when deciding whether to fight."
"Third, because of my mistakes, this city wept."
“That’s right, these are the sins that Mr. Zhuang Ji once listed in detail.”
Takamachi Shirou said softly with some emotion and nostalgia, "Back then, I also received a request from Minamoto Shokichi to deal with Spiderdopant. Spiderdopant has a rather troublesome ability. It can shoot spider silk and a large number of small spiders. After the small spiders invade the human body, if the host comes into contact with his lover, they will invade the host's lover and cause him to explode and die. Moreover, the small spiders will not disappear after the memory is destroyed. If Mr. Shokichi hadn't pulled me back in time, I probably wouldn't be able to contact my family even now."
"By the way, Xiang, keep an eye out. There might be a batch of experimental memory chips leaking out recently. Although the Ministry of State Security has already started to take action, you'd better be careful just in case."
Experimental memory is a prototype made before the Gaia memory is produced. Its purpose is mainly to test the memory's completion and capabilities. It will be discarded after the official memory is completed, so it will not be circulated on the market. Only those responsible for the distribution of Gaia memory... usually members of the factory may possess it. Compared to the official product, the capabilities of the experimental product will be degraded, and because it has no outer shell, the electronic components inside the memory will be almost completely exposed.
"It seems that the museum's original stock is really going to run out."
Yuanxiang took a bite of a peach and said with a smile:
"They actually brought out this kind of stuff. It seems that memory chips are really going to disappear."
"I think that's true."
Shirou Takamachi smiled and agreed. His intelligence network was much larger than Genji's, so he knew that due to Kamen Rider Joker's activities, many people had their eyes on the Gaia Memory, wanting to create their own super warriors. However, the impact of Kamen Rider Joker on the Gaia Memory was also evident. After the annihilation of the entire Sonozaki family and the end of the Sky Rift War, all those wealthy families abandoned their research on the Gaia Memory. Some even executed all the relevant personnel to show their determination.
Of course, Shirou Takamachi didn't tell Gengo any of these things. There was no need; he was already very busy, and there was really no reason to bother him with such trivial matters.
"Hometown? What are you looking at?"
"nothing."
Gengo withdrew his gaze. Just now, that strange hallucination reappeared. He saw himself carrying Kamen Rider No. 1 on his back, speeding past here, rushing all the way to the top of Fuuto Tower, then leaping onto a huge platform with great effort, and then the hallucination ended there.
However, the hallucination ended, and another rather peculiar sound came. Gengo reached out and grabbed Takamachi Shirou, gently pulling him to the side. Suddenly, tracks appeared and a train materialized out of thin air, stopping steadily in front of Gengo.
"your friend?"
Takamachi Shirou looked at Gengo curiously, while also nervously glancing around, alert to whether anyone had noticed the commotion. Gengo calmly patted his uncle's shoulder, indicating that there was no need to worry. Time had stopped a moment before the train appeared, so his identity would not be exposed. However, Gengo was puzzled as to when his uncle Shirou had found out about his identity, which made him look somewhat complicated.
"Yuanxiang, I'm sorry to bother you again."
Momotaros's head popped out of the car window, waving anxiously at Genji and saying:
"Come on, get in the car quickly, I need your help urgently."
"Alright, Uncle Shirou, I'll be going now. Please say goodbye to Nanoha, Sogen Danju, and me."
"You must be a very busy person. I understand, I'll pass it on."
Takamachi Shirou reluctantly agreed, then took two steps back to avoid being swept away when the train started moving. He waved to Genji, who had already boarded the train, and watched him leave this world.
The reason why the electric freight train was in such a hurry to find Yuanxiang was because of one person—Kai!
Kai, the young man who is the master of the future time where the Otherworld Gods exist and the only singularity with a physical body, makes a pact with more than 3000 Otherworld Gods as their leader, sending commands into their brains to change history in order to connect with his original self and others in time and eliminate the key to the divergence point.
That person was cold and cruel. Whether angry or sad, he always wore a smile; his emotions and expressions were inconsistent.
As for his abilities, he has a special ability to intervene in the passage of time to a certain extent. He can open the door to the past by flipping through his notes, and he can also forcibly peek into other people's past memories and fabricate Knight Tickets that should not exist.
Furthermore, Kai himself possesses considerable combat abilities, capable of physically fighting on par with other demons. In addition, he also has the power to temporarily control people's minds, similar to that of Ryutaros.
However, because that guy had no past, he easily forgot things. His notebook was filled with dense writing, but it seemed to have no function. Unfortunately, the electric train tracked down Kai's trail, and it was by chance that they found Kai's notebook.
Knowing that the guy was trying to destroy the present time by targeting the key point of the time divergence, and that he had dispatched Ryutaros to eliminate the obstructive singularity Nogami Ryotaro, but Ryutaros is now a member of the Electric Train.
Therefore, Kai, who had not gotten any results for a long time, chose to take matters into his own hands. That guy spied on Ryotaro's memories in order to find any missing information, and from that he came to the answer that the key to the real divergence was Nogami Airi, who is Nogami Ryotaro's older sister!
The so-called divergence point refers to the location where roads or other things separate, the watershed, the watershed where a decision is made on whether to connect with a new future.
"That bastard really knows how to pick his time. The terminal station hasn't been restored yet, and he's taking this opportunity to cause trouble."
Momotaros angrily slammed her foot on the chair, then obediently removed it under the commander's gaze, and looked at Genji and said:
"The terminal station is short-staffed and tied down by so many otherworldly demons. We have no other choice but to ask you for help."
Am I the only one?
Gensou glanced at the carriage, then looked curiously at Momotaros and said:
"Why don't you wait for me? I'll go and call a few more people over?"
"Huh? You can handle those guys by yourself, can't you?"
Faced with Gensou's statement, Momotaros was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out, causing a moment of silence in the carriage. Then, the boy coughed and said smugly:
"Very good, very good. Since you put it that way, I will accept this praise without hesitation. I have just acquired a new power, and I'd like to show it to you."
"Haha, I knew it! With Yuanxiang here, with someone as strong as me, we'll definitely have no problem dealing with those guys."
