In this fantasy world, be a Kamen Rider

"I've thought it over carefully! You might be right. I might not be doing this for the sake of the inhabitants of the human realm, but only for Huiyin. Perhaps I am narrow-minded, but so what? I am a Penglai person! I am different from you. What you humans worry about is so ridiculous to me. I can protect what I want to protect, and I can give up what I want to give up. What does it have to do with others!"

After hearing this, Yoru looked at the earnest Mokou with a gaze he had never shown before, as if he were seeing her for the first time. Finally, he nodded solemnly: "You're right. You're from Hourai. You don't need to be bound by human values. It seems I was narrow-minded."

"It's good that you know you were wrong. Don't try to play tricks on me in the future."

Mokou poked Yoru's forehead in annoyance, cleared away the dishes, and her tone returned to its usual nonchalant tone: "Let's go, I'll take you to Eientei for a check-up, it would be terrible if there were any aftereffects."

Yoru followed obediently behind, watching Mokou's hair ribbon sway in the wind. Suddenly, he chuckled softly. Mokou turned around, puzzled, and seeing his strange look, she tensed up for a moment, checked her clothes, and asked:

Is there something on me?

"No, it's just that I found a really cute Mokou."

"You smooth talker! Hurry up! I'm not responsible if you get lost."

Mokou's steps gradually became lighter, and she seemed to be in a good mood. The estrangement between the two caused by the previous incident disappeared. Because Yoru didn't want to deceive his only friend now, he could have hidden all his premeditations and perfectly deceived Mokou, but he didn't.

"If that's the case, I'll probably lose Mokou one day."

Muttering to himself, Yoru followed Mokou's steps. Although his methods were despicable and his schemes were dark, he finally compromised with himself. The reason was simply his dissatisfaction: Why do I, a Kamen Rider, still need to deceive this person and that person and use all sorts of means?

So Yoru chose to be honest, even if it would disgust Mokou and damage his image in her eyes. He did it anyway, after all, he was still human, and his instincts were still mixed with emotions, weren't they?

What's wrong with indulging in a little bit of impulsiveness once in a while?

I guess I'm still not very good at writing romance. I'd better hurry up and finish these chapters; writing Kamen Rider is much more enjoyable.

Section 22. 22. So big, and he'll die!

The Bamboo Forest of the Lost is vast, but for Fujiwara no Mokou, it felt like coming home. She led Yoru through the towering bamboo groves, and as the mist gradually dissipated, several antique buildings appeared before them.

"Mokou! Did you bring another patient? Or did you fight with Princess Kaguya?"

A rabbit hopped out of the bamboo forest. It had red eyes and a petite body, though its eyes occasionally flashed with a cunning light. Overall, it looked like a cute loli.

"Pah! Old... I'm here to inspect, Inaba Tei, hurry up and lead the way."

Mokou glanced at Yoru, and swallowed the "I" that was on the tip of her tongue. This greatly surprised Inaba Tei, who circled around Yoru again and again, rubbing his chin, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

"What are you looking at! What's so interesting about a rabbit?"

Mokou kicked Yoru's shin, held up two fingers and waved them in front of his eyes, threatening, "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out. Anyway, Eientei can help you get another one."

From the moment Mokou noticed something was wrong, it was clear that ever since Inaba Tei appeared, Yoru had lost interest in looking around and was staring intently at him. Yoru's fur stood on end from his gaze, and she quietly moved away from him. As Inaba Tei turned to leave, Yoru quickly spoke up:

"Miss Inaba, please wait a moment."

Inaba Tei paused, turned around, and clutched his chest, his eyes filled with wariness:

"What? You don't have any feelings for me, do you? You're a good person, sorry."

A "good guy" card was sent to Yoru with lightning speed. He could already feel Mokou's dangerous gaze behind him, and quickly waved his hands in denial:

"No, no, I just want a drop of blood from Miss Inaba."

"Blood?"

"You want blood again?"

Inaba Tei was somewhat puzzled, while Mokou's expression was not good. Yoru's request reminded her of the scene where she was sucked blood by the vampires, and a tingling sensation seemed to surge up again, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Although I don't know what your purpose is, I'm sorry, I can't give you my blood."

Inaba Tei shook her head seriously, then disappeared into the dense bamboo forest in a flash. The thick fog quickly swallowed her figure. Yoru-ka lowered her hand in disappointment, feeling somewhat regretful.

"If I could get her blood, would I be able to obtain the Danger Trigger?"

Night Song had his own speculations. After he collected all the Rabbit Tank energy bottles, the Magic Box gave him the Build transformation device. So, if he got a second Rabbit Tank energy bottle, would it reward him with a dangerous trigger? If that were true, then even a powerful monster, as long as it wasn't particularly strong, would be no match for him!

"Don't be so regretful. How could anyone so easily give you their blood? Do you think everyone is as generous as me?"

Mokou rolled her eyes at the dejected Yoru, unaware that her best friend Keine had already very willingly given him her blood. However, if Mokou knew this news, she would probably be so angry that she would get a fever.

"It's time to go."

Mokou kicked Yoru again and led him into Eientei. There were many rabbits coming and going, as well as many yokai mixed in, but they were all wrapped in bandages and gauze. Although the scene was not very quiet, it was not noisy. In this important medical place, even the most ferocious yokai had to obey.

"Miss Fujiwara, have you arrived? Are you here to see the princess or to bring someone for medical treatment?"

Another beast girl with rabbit ears moved among the patients, and the monsters in her path all made way. When she came before the two of them, Ye Ge's eyes opened slightly, and her tone revealed a hint of surprise and joy:

"Miss Reisen, it's been a long time."

"Um, you are that..."

Reisen was greeted by the gesture, her rabbit ears twitched, and she looked thoughtful. Finally, she slammed her fist in realization: "You're the one who asked for my blood before."

"Yes, Miss Reisen, thank you for your kindness back then."

Yoru nodded, the gratitude in her eyes genuine. Reisen was the first person to greet her with the utmost kindness after arriving in Gensokyo. Without her generosity, she might not have been able to obtain the Build transformation device and would have had no way to survive with just the Stalk armor.

"It's nothing serious, I'm glad I was able to help you, Mr. Night Song."

Reisen scratched her cheek sheepishly, instantly exuding the aura of a married woman. Mokou, on the other hand, looked very annoyed, seemingly sensing the difference between herself and Reisen. She clenched her fists slightly, as if ready to give this philandering rabbit a good beating at any moment.

"Is Mr. Night Song sick this time?"

Reisen's concerned question made Yoru feel like she was basking in a spring breeze. So what's so great about ordinary women? This kind of gentle, virtuous, soft-spoken, stunningly beautiful, and generous kemonomimi girl is a rare find, okay?

As Yege thought of this, he glanced sideways at Meihong, only to find that he saw nothing but a flat expanse. Meihong clearly noticed his gaze and secretly tightened her grip on Yege's waist. He jolted and stood up straight.

"What's wrong, Mr. Night Song? Are you feeling unwell?"

Observing Yoru's unnatural expression and slightly trembling body, Reisen's eyes grew even more worried. She even moved a little closer, and a scent completely different from Mokou's wafted into Yoru's nose, seemingly easing even the pain in her waist. ...Of course, that's a joke. Mokou actually used even more force when Reisen approached!

"No, it's nothing. I just got injured yesterday because of something, so I wanted to come and get it checked out."

Despite the pain, Yoru smiled and said those words. Only when Reisen turned around did Mokou let go of his hand, giving him a threatening look before pushing him into the consultation room.

Reisen effortlessly donned a white coat and took out a variety of strange instruments. Yoru could barely name some of them, but as for the rest, Yoru had never seen them before.

"Yes, Mr. Yege is in good health, and his recovery ability is outstanding compared to some monsters. His external injuries are no longer a big problem. His internal injuries will heal a little slower, but it's nothing serious. He just needs to rest more. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and you can also have an IV drip."

He took off his glasses, handed the prescription to the rabbit beside him, who took it and ran off huffing and puffing. A moment later, it came back with a series of things. While Ye Ge was still in a daze, it tied his hands to the chair, then took a needle twice the thickness of the outside and gestured at his hands.

"Wait, wait, wait! This is so big it could kill you! You'd die!"

"Don't act like a girl, just bear the pain and it'll pass!"

"Mr. Night Song, don't be nervous, or you might accidentally puncture the wrong spot!"

It's here! I've been sorting files all morning and still haven't slept well!

Section 23.23.evolto?

After a chaotic scene, Yoru sat in his seat, looking utterly dejected. Two needle marks remained on his hand, which was still attached to an IV drip. Reisen apologized to him with a face full of guilt, while Mokou sat beside him with her legs crossed, seemingly unconcerned.

In reality, this had nothing to do with Reisen; it was entirely Mokou and Yoru's problem. To avoid being stabbed, Yoru began to struggle incessantly, while Mokou held him tightly. However, due to the constant twisting of her hands, Reisen very successfully... stabbed him crookedly, and twice at that.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Just wait quietly until this bottle finishes dripping, then we'll go back."

Mokou went to great lengths to keep Yoru away from Reisen. For her, Eientei was like home, except for a certain annoying princess. After all, it was a place she frequented, and she wouldn't feel uncomfortable living there. However, she had come to realize Reisen's destructive power and knew she had to leave this place of trouble before Yoru fell silent.

"Has my little sister Hong arrived yet? Why hasn't she come to see me lately? I've been missing her terribly."

Just as the room finally quieted down, a melodious female voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, accompanied by a series of silvery laughs. Reisen hurriedly stood up and respectfully bowed towards the doorway:

"Princess, aren't you going to play the game?"

The newcomer wore a magnificent robe adorned with floral patterns, her black hair flowing behind her head. Her stunning beauty momentarily captivated Ye Ge, but he quickly regained his composure and lowered his head to look away, for the woman's appearance was simply too dazzling.

"Kaguya...!"

Mokou's voice, filled with gritted teeth, rang out from the side. Yoka's heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong. But before she could stop her, Mokou jumped up from her seat and glared at the beauty in front of her, her voice filled with barely suppressed anger.

"Don't do that in front of guests, it's unbecoming!"

Kaguya covered her mouth and chuckled, then politely introduced herself to Yoru: "My name is Houraisan Kaguya, and as you can see, I am the master of Eientei. It's quite strange, though, that Mokou has been accompanying a human all this way."

"That's none of your business."

Mokou was like a powder keg, exuding a strong aura of hostility. Kaguya, standing beside her, looked even more pleased, beckoning Mokou with her finger and asking provocatively, "Still want to fight like before, little Mokou!"

Hurry up and agree, then let's continue our usual routine, fight each other, and forget about the person next to us!

"Heh, go do your thing. I have things to do and don't have time to waste on a lonely, empty, and cold woman like you."

But to Kaguya's surprise, Mokou glanced at Yoruka, who was pretending not to see anything, and suddenly calmed down. After glaring at her, she actually sat back down next to Yoruka.

"you..."

Kaguya was so angry she gritted her teeth, and her gaze towards Yoru became displeased, as if she herself had been slapped with a hat.

"Reisen, see the guest out!"

"Oh, but Mr. Night Song..."

"I said, see the guest out!"

Kaguya's smile became bright, but there was no joy in her eyes. A chill emanated from her, indicating that the princess was in a bad mood.

"Kaguya! If you have a problem, come at me directly. Don't drag other people into this."

Mokou could no longer sit still; flames erupted from her body, raising the temperature in the room. Kaguya opened her folding fan, squinted, and faced her from afar, neither giving an inch.

"Go outside to fight?"

"Right on my mind!"

Filled with rage, the two stepped outside. Soon after, a huge explosion was heard outside. However, the rabbits and monsters seemed to be used to it. Apart from shakily steadying their things, not one of them complained or made a fuss.

"Please don't be nervous, Mr. Yoruka. Miss Mokou and the princess are always like this. They'll be fine once they calm down."

Ye Ge was silent for a while, then suddenly grabbed the IV needle, pulled it out forcefully, threw the needle away, and stood up.

"Mr. Night Song, the IV drip isn't finished yet..."

Reisen tried to stop him in a slightly flustered manner, but Yoru had already reached the door, turned back, and shook her head at Reisen:

"I'm sorry, Ms. Reisen, this whole thing started because of me, so I have to stop them."
