In this fantasy world, be a Kamen Rider

Night Song didn't turn around, seemingly still in shock. The vampire's face broke into a smug grin. He could already see Night Song being pierced through his armor, his heart punctured, dying in fear and despair. The thrill of killing fueled his magic, which surged even higher, thick with the scent of blood.

"Die, human!"

Ding!

Sparks flickered in the darkness, like fleeting lights. Night Song turned her left hand behind her back, blocking the vampire's stab. The drill on her left arm steadily blocked the vampire's needle-shaped magic. The vampire's face was illuminated by the sparks, and her face showed undisguised surprise.

"roll!"

Night Song turned around, deflecting the vampire's attack. He stepped forward, his blue drill shattering all the magic and blood energy. The extremely destructive unicorn ability was particularly effective at breaking through defenses. He swung his right fist from his waist, delivering a powerful hook punch to the vampire's abdomen.

"puff!"

His eyes widened. Even though Ye Ge hadn't used the power of the eraser, the vampire's defenses had been breached. He had taken the blow head-on with his flesh and blood. He spat out a mouthful of blood, along with stomach acid, and arched up like a shrimp. The shock had thrown his internal organs into disarray.

"Your sins are determined by God, and I will take responsibility for sending you to meet God!"

Night Song grabbed the vampire's head; he was now powerless to struggle. Under the absolute power of the vanishing form of the horn, he had no chance to resist. Night Song placed his right hand on the joystick and slowly began to turn it. The energy bottles of the unicorn and the eraser began to glow, and a larger blue energy drill appeared in Night Song's left hand.

"Vortex Finish!"

The blue drill pierced the vampire's abdomen, its fierce rotational force shredding his internal organs. The vampire convulsed violently, his eyes turning a deathly gray. Night Song mercilessly pulled out the drill and delivered a heavy elbow strike to his head, causing red and white blood to ooze out.

Night Song took a deep breath, placed his hand on his waist, and slowly pulled out the unicorn energy bottle. The white eraser energy bottle phantom also disappeared. Night Song deactivated his transformation. His body was covered in bloodstains and blood was still oozing out. Forcing himself to use this incomplete form made him very weak, but Night Song did not stop. Instead, he searched for something on the vampire corpse that was almost broken into pieces.

"Yukari Yakumo? She's still watching this place."

During his transformation, Ye Ge briefly checked the history and discovered that a gap had always been open behind him, and it was still open, watching over this place. Therefore, he could not directly absorb the energy bottle. In order to cover up his previous lie about plundering the vampire's power, even if he had to pretend, he still had to find the pure blood of the vampire's heart.

Section 20. Strangers? We are the same kind!

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

While searching for the heart absentmindedly, Yoruichi focused most of his attention on the hidden gap behind him. However, Yukari Yakumo seemed very interested in him, and the gap remained open.

"That old woman! Why is she so fond of peeping? Do I look that good?"

While silently cursing the idea that he would definitely be caught in the gap, Ye Ge found the still slightly beating heart in a mass that resembled a chest cavity and extracted pure blood from it.

The pure blood of vampires is the source of their power and the fundamental reason for the existence of bloodline suppression. Pure blood is not large, but rather a crystal the size of a button. Ye Ge held him, lay wearily on the grass, and smiled with relief.

As Ye Ge's movements ceased, the gap behind him, seemingly having seen enough, finally slowly closed.

"Are they gone yet? They're finally gone."

After confirming that no one was watching, Yege jumped up and hurriedly took out the BAT energy bottle, releasing nebula gas to turn the pure-blooded vampire into material for the energy bottle's purification.

After finishing all of this, Ye Ge finally completed all her work, lay down on the ground in a spread-eagle position, and smiled happily at the sky with a bright moon hanging in the sky.

"Everything is ready, except for Mokou."

……

Half an hour later, a bright light suddenly appeared in the distance, and a fiery red phoenix flew from the horizon and landed next to Yoru. Mokou put away her flames and ran over to help him up.

"Where's that stinky bat?"

While keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings, Mokou asked anxiously. Yoru leaned against her, the original tobacco scent now masked by the gunpowder smoke, but the girl's fragrance remained. Yoru's nose twitched slightly, and her nerves relaxed.

"I took him down. How's it going on your end, Mokou?"

Shamelessly taking advantage of the situation, Yoru answered Mokou's question. Fortunately, Mokou wouldn't hold it against him at this point. Her head drooped dejectedly, the ribbon in her hair swaying slightly, showing her disappointment. Her tone was filled with anger and guilt.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop them. More than a dozen children and women were taken away. There were too many of them."

After listening, Yoru's face remained expressionless. She simply patted Mokou's shoulder and comforted her, "It's alright, Mokou. You've done your best. It's just that the vampires are too cunning."

"No! If only I could be a little faster."

Mokou tugged at her hair in frustration. When she finally got past the pure-blooded vampires and encountered the low-level vampires, she realized that she had underestimated their preparations. Bat wings spread out in the night sky, and even though she went all out and even shot down many vampires, some still managed to escape.

With her hands on Mokou's shoulders, Yoru gently rested her head on Mokou's head, feeling her hair brush against her cheek, and spoke softly:

"Don't overthink it. Mokou, you've done what you could. Now it's not just your job anymore; we need help."

"Help? Whom should we ask for help?"

With Yoru's comfort, Mokou slowly regained her composure. Her face slightly flushed, she broke free from Yoru's embrace and looked at Yoru, who seemed unusually calm, with a puzzled gaze.

"Hakurei Shrine Maiden".

With a mysterious smile playing on her lips, Yoru turned her back to Mokou under her gaze, staring at the bright moon. Her tone was light and cheerful, tinged with a hint of anticipation: "With our help, the vampire's conspiracy has been exposed. I believe the residents of Gensokyo are all aware of it now. I'm confident that the public outcry will attract the attention of Gensokyo's administrators."

"This is Gensokyo! Not the outside world! Don't apply your political mindset here!"

Meihong clenched her fists. She suddenly realized that the person in front of her was not as simple as she had imagined. She seemed to know nothing about his purpose or his schemes.

"Do not."

Shaking her head vigorously, Yoruka came back to her senses, pointed in the direction of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and smiled confidently: "I heard from Keine-sensei that vampires have been thriving in Gensokyo for quite some time now, and many forces are eager to get rid of them. Now, such a good opportunity is presented to all these forces. Do you think they won't take action?"

Boom!

Yoru suddenly spat out a mouthful of saliva, clutched his stomach, and gasped. Mokou delivered a powerful punch to his stomach, then withdrew her hand expressionlessly, but her eyes were filled with disappointment and sorrow.

"So you used me? No, it should be that you knew all along that I couldn't stop them." Her tone was tinged with sorrow. The frustration and disappointment of having her failure taken into account by her allies brought a long-absent sadness to Mokou's face.

"It's not about exploitation, it's about estimation."

With a wry smile, Yege rubbed her aching stomach and straightened up. "You should know very well that the vampires have already caused visible harm to the human village. They are an absolute threat, but we have been struggling to find a reason to oppose them. And this scene is bound to happen. No matter how much you struggle, Mokou, fate will still unfold this way."

"So, you saw all of this?"

Faced with Mokou's questioning, Yoru straightened his back, his voice cold and resolute. For the first time, he revealed his true nature to Mokou, who was like a friend to him:

"Yes, everything was within my calculations, and of course, within the calculations of the Yokai Sage as well. I didn't see as far ahead as she did, but I foresaw this outcome. However, I won't tell you, because you'll regret it if you find out!"

"You lack the power to save everyone, yet you have the desire to do so. Knowing this contrast beforehand will only cause you more pain. I am human, the most despicable thief, the shameless one who stole your power, therefore I am purer than you! I see further than you!"

Yoru had little affection for the humans of Gensokyo; what did their lives and deaths have to do with him? On the contrary, he was very clear about his own position. He was neither driven by the will of a knight to be a hero of justice, nor forced by a villain to be invincible. He was just a despicable thief, and his only goal was to usurp the power of fantasy and make himself stronger.

Mokou didn't speak, but just silently watched him. Yoru also wisely fell silent. Their different eyes met, and finally Mokou angrily flicked her sleeves and walked towards the direction of the people.

"I thought you were alright, but now it seems we're not on the same wavelength."

This time, Yoru didn't chase after her. Instead, she stood silently, watching Mokou's somewhat desolate figure disappear into the night. Looking at her blood-stained hands, she suddenly shook her head with a smile, her tone filled with disdain and mockery:

"Not fellow travelers? Heh, you're wrong, Mokou. Having lived this long, what do you care about besides Keine? Keine has people she cares about, while you have nothing but her. You and I are the true fellow travelers!"

(Author's note: You seem to have forgotten Kaguya!)

Well, I think Mokou is pretty cute, what do you guys think?

Section 21. Because I am from Penglai!

Watching Mokou disappear into the night, Yoru had no reason to linger. Exhausted, he dragged his battered body and limped back to the village.

He wasn't pretending; he was truly weak. The incomplete shape with a corner missing made his body appear unhealthy, and he needed to rest properly to recover.

"Um, Mokou, didn't you leave? Why are you standing here?"

When Yoru returned to the entrance to the human world, he froze, awkwardly touching his nose, because Mokou was smoking a cigarette and looking at him with a displeased expression.

"Stop talking nonsense. Although I don't like you, I'm not so heartless as to abandon my own helpers."

Mokou showed a look of disgust, but she took the initiative to lean on Yoru's shoulders and help him walk in another direction.

"You're lucky today. Come to my house. I'll take you to Eientei when it gets light."

When Mokou said this, her eyes were lowered, and her long bangs covered her eyes. Yoka couldn't see her eyes, but she could hear a hint of loneliness in her words.

Has she always been like this? Even when misunderstood, she still silently stays there.

Through word of mouth among the residents, Yoka already knew about Mokou's story and actions. Seeing Mokou's sudden drop in mood, Yoka suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Mokou, what you said to me before, even if it could fool me, could it fool yourself?"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to lecture me, kid!"

Mokou slowly raised her head, her face once again covered by indifference, and responded in a detached tone, seemingly not taking Yoru's words to heart at all.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Ge's voice was slightly hoarse due to her weakness:

"Then tell me, who exactly are you protecting the residents of this place for?"

"Of course, it's for the people..."

Stop using this excuse! Ask your own heart!

Yoru's sudden sharp question startled Mokou. A thoughtful look flashed across her eyes, but she remained silent for a long time.

"It's for Teacher Huiyin, right? Without Teacher Huiyin, how could you possibly stay in this human world?"

Night Song's words pierced through Mokou's disguise like a sharp blade. Then he stopped talking, closed his eyes, and silently let Mokou lead him to an unfamiliar bamboo forest.

Turning left and right, weaving through the bamboo forest, Mokou led him to a slightly low wooden house. She gently placed Yoru on the bed, took out bandages from the cabinet next to her, bandaged Yoru's wounds, covered him with a blanket, and then quietly closed the door and went outside.

Yege pulled the blanket over himself, his eyes barely open. The blanket carried the familiar scent of Mokou, and the fireplace beside him emitted a soft burning sound. Yege gently turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Mokou in his dream. Her lonely battles and lonely life, until she met Keine, suddenly stirred up some strange emotions in his heart. He couldn't explain them, but they made him very depressed.

……

Time passed slowly, and Ye Ge finally opened his eyes. He slowly sat up, the bandages on his body came off, revealing his completely healed skin. After nearly a night of rest, his body had recovered most of its strength. Gently tidying up the quilt, Ye Ge pushed open the door of the cabin with a creak.

"Are you awake? How are you feeling?"

Mokou's indifferent voice rang out from outside. She was standing at the door with a small bag of rice in her hand, seemingly waiting for Yoru. Because the wooden house was small, she was afraid that going in would disturb him, so she had been waiting outside. Anyway, she had already waited all night, so a little longer wouldn't make a difference.

"Much better, basically no major problems."

Yege licked her lips and gave an awkward smile. Meihong nodded and stepped into the house. Soon, the sounds of pots and pans clattering and firewood burning filled the air, followed by the faint aroma of rice.

"Eat, and after you finish eating, go to Eientei for a medical check-up."

A bowl of porridge was placed in front of Yoru. Mokou also took a bowl and sat opposite him. The two sat facing each other, eating their porridge in silence. Yoru ate faster and, after putting down his bowl, quietly watched Mokou finish eating.

"Mokou! How have you thought about what I said yesterday?"

Almost at the same time Mokou put down her chopsticks, Yoru's question arrived. She paused slightly, looking at him with a very determined gaze, no longer showing any confusion:
