"I told you, it's broken."
"........"
Fate didn't reply, but simply waved her wand, releasing Gensou from his shackles. She then stood up and stepped back. Gensou checked the wound on his chest. It was alright, not too deep. He'd get it bandaged when he got back. If he could pull through, he wouldn't need to use Ripple to speed up the healing... Hmm?
Just as Yuanxiang sat up, clutching his wound, he was surprised to see a faint bruise visible under Fate's protective suit. This made Yuanxiang raise an eyebrow. To be fair, although this child was young, her fighting ability was not to be underestimated. Just that impact had made him very prepared. He was curious about what kind of enemy had injured her.
".....sorry."
"Ok?"
After a brief silence, Fate suddenly whispered an apology, and before Gensou could react, an extremely intricate and complex magic circle unfolded beneath her feet. Although Gensou didn't understand these things, he sensed a familiar aura of 'plane teleportation' from this magic circle.
Genji released his hold on the 'Joker' and charged in like an arrow released from a bow. But Fate reacted extremely quickly, stopping the magic circle almost simultaneously. At the same time, she transformed her wand into a scythe like golden lightning and slashed down at Genji. But with a flash of silver light, and a 'Mteal' sound, the Steel Knight used his arm armor to take the sharp blow head-on. As the two were locked in a stalemate, dazzling sparks flew outwards.
However, Genji only transformed his arm into a knight. Through the sparks, he gazed at the cold-faced girl and said softly:
"What? You think you can just leave a wound on my chest, apologize, and run away? Don't you think I got the short end of the stick?"
"...I don't know healing magic."
While pressing the sickle down hard, Fate answered Genji without expression:
"So I'm sorry."
"I don't want you to cure this for me. I only have one small request, and I hope you can grant it."
".......?"
Fate didn't answer, but the curiosity in her eyes clearly indicated that she was waiting for Gensou to continue.
"You're injured too, right? Let me heal you, that's all I ask."
???
Hearing this, Fate momentarily doubted whether she had misheard, or if the person in front of her was deliberately making fun of her. However, looking at Genji's extremely serious expression, as if he would really fight her if she didn't agree, she suddenly realized clearly that this person was serious. But... I injured him, and he healed me... This...
Fate was clearly a little confused; for a moment, she was unsure whether her relationship with this person was friend or foe. However, before she could figure it out, Genji gently shook her knightly arm, pulling her back to reality, and said in a deep voice:
"I'll count down from three, then we'll both stop. Three, two, one!"
After the countdown, Gengo immediately deactivated his transformation. Seeing Gengo's decisive action, Fate, despite not yet understanding what was happening, didn't want to hurt her older brother any further, so she also put away her scythe. Then, Gengo strode towards her and grabbed Fate's wrist.
Fate was about to struggle when a warm, sun-like sensation entered her body through her wrist, quickly spreading throughout her entire body and making her feel drowsy. The pain from the whipping also subsided rapidly.
"Wait...wait, this is a ripple effect, right? Those two old men said you can't...um..."
Suddenly, Fate remembered something and hurriedly tried to shake off Gensou's hand while speaking, but after Gensou poured another large wave of ripples into her body, the comfortable feeling made her gasp softly, and at the same time, her words were interrupted.
"It's alright, it's alright. You have to use ripples when you need to. Why save them? By the way, you're here pretty early. You even heard this."
Genji glanced at Fate with some surprise, and at the same time noticed that the child was staring at his still-bleeding wound. Knowing what she was thinking, Genji gently lifted his shirt, revealing the three horrifying scars on his chest, and said indifferently:
“I can endure this kind of injury without going to the hospital, so what’s this little dent you left? It’s nothing.”
"...But...why?"
After a brief silence, Fate couldn't help but ask Genji, she really couldn't understand why he was so friendly to her after what was supposed to be a less than friendly first meeting.
"Didn't I tell you? You are my..."
Gensho looked at Fate with gentle eyes and said with a smile:
"So, whether you agree to be my sister or not, seeing the scars on your body, I feel it's necessary to heal you. Otherwise, if I let you leave like this, I'll always feel uneasy."
After saying this, Yuanxiang suddenly raised his eyebrows, his gentle expression turning imposing without anger, and his voice becoming cold and stern:
"Speaking of which, how exactly did you get injured? Did you get hurt in this world? Tell me, and I'll get revenge for you!"
"........."
However, Fate showed no intention of answering Gengo. She silently lowered her head, like an ostrich. Gengo sighed helplessly and patted her head with his other hand, saying:
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't... Hmm?"
Yuanxiang had just placed his hand on it and rubbed it when the child, like a startled rabbit, darted away several meters away from him. After this action, both of them froze on the spot, staring at each other, as if wondering why the reaction was so strong.
"Um... shall we continue?"
Finally, it was Gensou who broke the silence. He waved his left hand, which was shimmering with golden ripples, and called out to Fate.
Fate instinctively took two steps toward him, then gripped her wand tightly to her chest, looked at Genji and shook her head firmly. Then, the teleportation magic circle reactivated, enveloping Fate's figure.
"that......"
But before being teleported, Fate suddenly pointed to the pendant of Gensou and whispered:
"The energy inside that thing is terrifying; it's best not to wear it close to your body, it's very dangerous. Also... thank you, Mr. Gensou..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the teleportation array was completed. Fate left Joseph's world and returned to an exquisitely decorated house. She stood in the center of the hall, then slowly raised her hand and gently pressed down on the spot where Yuanxiang had just rubbed.
Before Fate could even manage a genuine smile, a cold and indifferent voice came from behind her:
"Fate, you're back. Where's the Seed of the Holy Stone?"
!!!
Upon hearing this voice, Fate's body stiffened, and she quickly turned around, saying respectfully:
"Mom, that Holy Stone Seed is broken."
"Fate, do you remember what I said?"
Standing in front of Fate, a woman dressed in a formal gown and cloak, with long black and gray hair, looked at Fate coldly. At the same time, a purple light flashed in her hand, and a short whip appeared in her hand.
"I told you, once you see the Seed of the Holy Stone, you must bring it back, right?"
"what......"
Hearing the whistling sound of the short whip, Fate's body trembled involuntarily, letting out a low gasp that she couldn't suppress, while the woman continued speaking, completely unconcerned:
“The Seed of the Holy Stone is an indispensable material for my plan, and not only did you fail to retrieve it, you watched it be destroyed. Do you know what a huge loss this is for me?! Unfortunately, Fate, I will punish you.”
Having said that, the short whip in the woman's hand transformed into a long whip, while Fate, having already anticipated what was about to happen, closed her eyes tightly and whispered:
"I'm sorry... Mom."
'Snapped! '
'Snapped! '
'Snapped! '
............
After an unknown amount of time, the echoing sound of the whip in the hall finally stopped. The woman released the long whip from her hand, looked at Fate lying on the ground covered in wounds, and scolded in a reprimanding voice:
"That sacred stone seed is the key to realizing my dream!"
"yes....."
Fate responded weakly, and after hearing this, the woman turned around, waved at Fate, and continued:
"Then don't let me down."
"Yes, Mom."
Fate struggled to her feet, dragging her wounded body, pushed open the door, and left the hall. Upon hearing the door close, the woman slammed her hands on the table, her face turning incredibly grim. As if recalling something, she finally lost control, sweeping everything off the table and yelling:
"Damn Kamen Rider!!!"
As the woman roared, a beast girl with orange hair, black eyes, dog ears, and her body wrapped in bandages was already waiting outside the hall. Upon seeing Fate covered in wounds, she whimpered and rushed over to heal Fate's injuries.
But as soon as the beast girl activated her magic, her body twitched uncontrollably, then curled up. Fate quickly hugged her and gently comforted her.
"Elph, I'm fine, don't push yourself."
Elf is Fate's familiar. Her prototype is an orange-red giant wolfhound. She is skilled in unarmed attacks and auxiliary magic such as protective magic and binding magic.
Previously, when Fate's mother was carrying out her plan, she was relentlessly chased by two Kamen Riders driving a train. It was at that time that Elf was seriously injured and has not yet recovered. If Fate hadn't begged her, that cold-hearted woman would have thrown this burden out of the place long ago.
"Why...why? Fate, didn't you already bring back quite a few Holy Stone Seeds? Why..."
Elf had heard it clearly; Fate's heart-wrenching wails were like sharp blades piercing her heart. And such things happened frequently here. She simply couldn't understand what Fate had to do to please that woman. Did she really have to drive Fate to her death?
Facing the familiar who was crying for her, Fate gently stroked her head and helped her hurriedly leave through the door—
The conversation she had just had with Elf was conducted through "telepathy," a magic that anyone with magical power could easily use. It could be understood as a mental dialogue. After all, her mother was in a bad mood, and if Elf was disturbed by their voices, Fate was really worried that her mother would throw her out of here.
"Alright, Elf, stop crying. Let's go back to our room and rest."
As they walked, Fate gently persuaded Elf with telepathy, leading her back to her room and settling her in before lying down on the bed herself.
At that moment, Fate suddenly remembered something and gently rubbed her wrist. The warmth that had once flowed from there seemed to somewhat offset the pain she was experiencing now.
Then Fate put her hand on her head, and it was as if the strange older brother who treated her like a little sister was standing by the bed, quietly smiling and watching her. The light in the room seemed to soften a little because of this.
Filled with fantasies and memories, a physically and mentally exhausted Fate gradually drifted off to sleep. Perhaps tonight she would have a rare good dream...
145 The girl in the wheelchair
After Fate left, Gensou also got up and walked towards the hospital, wanting to meet up with Joseph and the others. He felt a little regretful. If Fate had reacted a little slower, she might have taken him into her base while she was teleporting. Then, no matter what the Seed of the Holy Stone was, he would have been able to get some information that he could use to make inferences.
The most regrettable thing is that even using force might not be enough to forcibly detain him. The magic that child uses, in terms of both power and variation, seems quite formidable. That level of magical burst seems insufficient for ordinary 'Xtreme' magic, and the limit of 'Blankness'...
Thinking of this, Yuanxiang lowered his head helplessly. How to put it? The memories he currently possessed could still sustain his current life and interpersonal relationships. But to use these few memories to fight that child to the death, Yuanxiang felt it was not worth it no matter how he calculated it.
Furthermore, although the child has now left and the crystal on his body has been destroyed, and on the surface, there seems to be no connection between the two, Gensou has a vague feeling that among the requests he receives from the door in the future, there is a high probability that there will still be events related to the 'Seed of the Sacred Stone'. At that time, as long as the child is still collecting this thing, there will definitely be a chance to meet again.
But... ha... we really can't relax for even a moment.
As Yuanxiang walked, he sighed and subconsciously tried to press down on his hat, only to find that his head was already bare and the hat had completely disappeared. He had no choice but to silently put his hand down and take out the Moon Emperor Stone pendant.
To be honest, if he could harness the energy within the Emperor Stone for his own use, his combat power would increase considerably. However, Yuanxiang currently couldn't find a way to use this stone other than by directly inserting it into his body.
He also remembered why Minami Kotaro left the Moon King Stone with him. If the Creator King really had a backup plan, then he, who had directly used the Moon King Stone, might have had to fight Minami Kotaro over the 'Creator King's throne,' which was something Genji would never want to see.
Let's go back and find Keji again, and see if we can develop a new Gaia memory device based on the data from 'Xtreme'.
"Yuanxiang! Yuanxiang! Yuan... Yuanxiang, are you alright? That kid didn't hurt you, did he?"
Just as Gengo was pondering how to improve his normal combat power, Caesar, who had been searching for him, spotted him first. Upon seeing Gengo's blood-soaked shirt, he rushed over and used Ripple to heal his injuries. Such wounds were quickly healed in the hands of Caesar, a veteran Ripple user.
"Caesar, please say goodbye to the others for me."
Gengo pressed his chest, which was no longer aching, gave Caesar a grateful smile, and then said softly:
