In this fantasy world, be a Kamen Rider

Akane's eyes sparkled with excitement. Not only Yoru and Mokou, but even Evolto looked surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Were you knocked silly? What you just said wasn't exactly kind, was it? Why are you even more excited now?! Are all humans this unreasonable?"

"No, I think she's the only one who's unreasonable." Night Song twitched her lips, comforting the complaining Evolto. Red Iris shook her head seriously, touching her lower abdomen: "My memories and power haven't fully recovered yet, but in this world that has collapsed and disappeared, I've reached my limit. There are no formidable enemies, and no way to recover, so I want to go to a new world to try my luck! To challenge the strong!"

Ye Ge nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Chi Yuan with a very unfamiliar gaze: "I didn't expect you to be a martial arts fanatic. I thought you would stay and protect Shenzhou or something."

"The Honkai has disappeared, my mission is over, it's time to relax." Chi Yuan smiled with relief, not taking the strongmen of Gensokyo to heart at all. She gently clenched her fists, extinguished the flames, and her smile became very pleasant: "Besides, after living for so many years, I have to have some pursuits. Apart from games, the only things that can excite me are martial arts and battles."

"It doesn't seem like there's any benefit to it. Why should we take you across the world? Adding another burden will consume a lot of energy!"

Before Ye Ge could speak, Evolto jumped in to object. She crossed her arms and glared at Chi Yuan with displeasure. Ye Ge stepped forward to say something, but Evolto glared back at her: "Men shouldn't interfere in women's affairs! Just watch quietly!"

"Is the positioning already that clear?" Ye Ge shed a bead of sweat on her forehead, silently nodded, and backed away. Anyway, it was Evolto himself who admitted it! Gaining another wife was a huge win for him!

Chi Yuan paused for a moment, pondered for a second, and nodded slightly: "Hmm, what Miss Evolto said makes sense. The reward for traveling to another world is indeed very expensive. It's something I can't afford to pay for. Besides, with your strength, Ye Ge, this world is yours. I'm afraid what I have wouldn't be enough to tempt you, would it?"

"It seems there's only one choice left!"

Suddenly, Chi Yuan pulled the LCD panel she used to communicate with Otto from her bosom and slammed it against her knee. The screen shattered into countless fragments. Chi Yuan's hair slowly turned gray, transforming her back into Fu Hua's appearance. She slowly knelt on one knee, lowered her head, and said firmly:

"Night Song! I will pledge my allegiance to you!"

Fu Hua raised her head, her serious gaze showing that she was not joking: "My power is not very strong yet, and living under someone else's roof comes at a price. From now on, I will fight for you. Of course, this time, I will not betray you."

"Humph!"

Evolto let out a soft snort, and a grayish-red pipe appeared in her hand. She stuck it into Fu Hua's neck, and Fu Hua frowned. Although she had already undergone the modification experiment, Evolto's actions were on a whole new level. The gas in her body cheered and surged, modifying her flesh and bones, and completely merging with her.

"The gas has already merged into your body, and now you are completely under my control." After saying this, Evolto suddenly kicked Nightsong, who was watching the show from the sidelines: "Aren't you going to activate the Pandora's Box? I've worked so hard to get you another Smash familiar, and you still want me to go through all that trouble?"

"Ah? Oh!"

Yege snapped out of his daze, and under everyone's expectant gaze, Pandora's Box slowly appeared before him. At this moment, the box was flashing with red light, even more lustrous than before. Yege and Mokou exchanged a glance, and the latter took a deep breath and nodded to him. Yege slowly raised his hand and pressed it down firmly.

A crimson beam of light shot into the sky, enveloping the four people. Their figures slowly disappeared, leaving only this gray world behind.

I was so sleepy, I forgot I missed posting one today.

Section 182, Chapter 178: You're watching me, aren't you?

As her consciousness cleared, Fu Hua shook her groggy head, suddenly feeling an itch in her nose. She sneezed, slowly opened her eyes, and found Evolto squatting beside her, constantly poking her cheek with a blade of grass. Only after realizing she was awake did he leisurely rub the grass off, revealing a sweet smile.

"Are you awake?"

"No matter how much you laugh, I already saw it!"

Fu Hua reluctantly sat up and pushed Evolto's moist face away. Her head was still a little sore, but it was subsiding over time. Now she finally had the energy to look around. Crimson light pierced through the void, forming a wide passage. Night Singer flew in front of them, holding Pandora's Box. Evolto lay bored and rolled around behind them. As for Mokou, she was sitting to the side, and her face didn't look too good either.

"They're all awake? Looks like a powerful soul force is invaluable everywhere!"

Yege glanced back at Fu Hua, who had just woken up, and sighed. Mokou's situation was similar to Fu Hua's. Time travel would bring a huge mental burden to people. Even with the protection of Pandora's Box, those with weak souls could easily fall into a coma or even be seriously injured during this time. In some cases, they might even become a vegetable.

However, Mokou and Fu Hua were not worried about this issue. As an immortal, Mokou's soul had long been tempered by countless deaths and pains, giving her a strong resilience. In addition, she had experienced it when she was summoned by Yege before, which gave her a certain degree of resistance. Therefore, she woke up earlier than Fu Hua. Fu Hua's soul, on the other hand, was purely the accumulation of years.

Have we already left our original world?

Fu Hua gazed at the passage behind her, now shrouded in blood red, and murmured to herself, her tone tinged with a touch of desolation. After all, she had left the world she was born and raised in, and she didn't know when she would be able to return. Even she couldn't help but feel homesick.

“It’s not that we just left, but that we’ve almost arrived. Now that you’re awake, I can loosen the restrictions a bit.”

Night Song tossed Pandora's Box in her hand, instantly widening the path by a factor of two. At the same time, the box emitted an unusual red light. Fu Hua and Mohong covered their ears; a piercing buzzing sound exploded in their minds, and countless noises made them dizzy. The noise as they forcibly tore through the void and accelerated forward was an ordeal for them.

Fortunately, the torment only lasted for a minute. As the buzzing subsided, the blood-red passage ahead emitted white light. Fu Hua squinted slightly, letting the white light envelop her. She seemed to have touched some barrier, but the next moment a strange energy enveloped her, and she passed through it with ease.

When Fu Hua opened her eyes again, she was greeted by a lush green forest, a beautiful sight that could only be seen in remote, secluded places. Mokou stood beside her, letting out a long sigh, and a rare look of nostalgia appeared on her face: "The air in Gensokyo is definitely better. That world is so polluted!"

Hehe, hehe.

A bead of cold sweat dripped down Fu Hua's forehead as she awkwardly agreed. After all, her world had been looked down upon and she couldn't refute it. She couldn't very well nod and agree with a beaming smile, could she?

“Mokou, if you go and see the outside world of Gensokyo, you’ll know. That’s where the air is truly polluted. Technology and pollution have spread throughout the entire world. Fu Hua’s world is slightly better because of the existence of Honkai energy.” Night Song patted Fu Hua’s shoulder and comforted her for a few moments. Mokou pouted and muttered softly, “I didn’t say that place was bad, did I?”

"Oh my! Oh my! It seems like we have a guest! Night Song!"

Evolto rode on Yoru's neck like a child, her long legs squeezing tightly. Yoru could even feel the softness behind her head. She was clearly a beautiful mature woman, so why was she so playful after gaining emotions? But despite her complaints, what she said was worth noting. Yoru also sensed the slight fluctuation in the space.

"You're the one watching me, aren't you, Yukari Yakumo?"

Night Song suddenly jumped back, pointing to an empty space in front of her. Her demeanor suddenly became very resolute. Evolto also cooperated by putting his hands on his hips and hovering behind Night Song.

"Are you cosplaying a Stand here? You should watch less JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in the future!"

With a disappointed look, Mokou lifted Evolto off Yoru's back. It has to be said that their slightly similar faces make them quite convincing as stand-ins! But is this the time for role-playing?

"Oh my! It seems you've gotten a lot stronger, Night Song. I only showed you a little bit of my abilities."

The gap opened in front of the three, and Yukari Yakumo stepped out, squinting as she looked at Yoru, and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? You seem different from before? Have you gotten stronger again? And it shouldn't be an ordinary improvement."

"Yeah, pretty much. It's a complete transformation. I went on a trip and gained a lot." Ye Ge nodded, readily admitting it. She then picked up the soft, fragrant Evolto, lifted her high in the air while Ye Ge looked on in disbelief, and said boastfully, "And Evolto is my wife now!"

"Um... Congratulations! I didn't expect you to have made such progress in just half a year." Yukari Yakumo gave an awkward but polite smile. Even if her essence had been sublimated and she had become stronger, why was this clown's personality still so eccentric? Thinking back to how cautious and careful Yoru was in the early stages, Yukari Yakumo sighed deeply. The weaker she was, the more vigilant she was; the stronger she became, the more eccentric she was. This guy didn't have a single bit of the aura of a strong person!

"So, this beautiful lady must be the one you brought back?"

Yakumo Yukari turned her attention to Fu Hua, who was somewhat reserved but still calmly clasped her hands in greeting to Yakumo Yukari: "I am Fu Hua, please guide me, Miss Yakumo Yukari."

"Hmm, he really is a polite person!" Yukari Yakumo's mood suddenly brightened; she had finally met a normal person. She closed her folding fan, nodded to Fu Hua, and said in a gentle voice:

"As the administrators of Gensokyo, we must not neglect our manners. Ms. Fu Hua, welcome to the mysterious gathering place, the paradise of youkai, welcome to Gensokyo."

"Alright, alright, let's skip the formalities. You always say the same thing whenever someone comes over."

Before Fu Hua could speak, Mokou impatiently interrupted their conversation. She was eager to see Keine as soon as possible; if these two continued their polite formalities, it could go on for a year. Ignoring Yakumo Yukari's suddenly stiff smile, Mokou kicked Yoruka, who was still entangled with Evolto, in annoyance.

"Hurry back to the village! If you don't see Huiyin, you'll be sleeping outside tonight!"

Section 183, Chapter 179: The Exploited Little Wolfdog

"..."

Under Mokou's threat, Yoru had no choice but to nod with tears in her eyes. Seeing this, Yukari Yakumo opened a gap in front of them, saying, "The Human Village is just over there."

"No need, we can just leave."

Yoru put down Evolto, snapped her fingers, and a faint blue light appeared on the four of them. Their figures disappeared instantly. Yukari Yakumo was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran to the front of the gap, peeked through the gap, and found that Yoru and her group had actually arrived in the Human Village and were standing in front of the temple school.

"Hey, hey, hey! Teleportation is a foul! And it's even while people are on board! What on earth happened to this guy?"

Yukari Yakumo shouted angrily. At this moment, she was devastated. The youkai had worked hard for so many years to reach such a vicious level, but Yoru had surpassed him in just one year. What was even more despairing was that Yoru had only relied on the brute force of his armor at the beginning, but now his superpower had grown to this level!

"Hey, are you alright? It's only this short distance. Even if you were to traverse the entire Gensokyo, it shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Among them, Mokou, with a strange expression, supported Yoru, who had suddenly lost all strength. Evolto, on the other side, was also supporting him, a playful look flashing in her eyes. Yoru glared at her fiercely: "Evolto, why didn't you tell me sooner? I don't have any authority in this world?"

"I forgot, hehe!"

Evolto tapped her head, trying to get away with a cute act, but Yoruka kept staring at her intently. Evolto then waved her hands and cried out in grievance, "This isn't my fault! You were used to using your powers in that world! You overestimated yourself and used up your energy when you came back! I didn't even say anything before you activated your power!"

Ye Ge felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He finally realized how important the world's authority was. Just moving a short distance, taking the other three with him, which should have been as simple as eating and drinking in the Honkai world, had now consumed 60% of his energy. The massive loss of energy left him feeling extremely weak, and it took him a while to recover before he could leave Mohong's support. Fu Hua, behind him, smoothed her hair and looked at the swaying Ye Ge, beginning to doubt whether following him was the right thing to do.

"Mokou... Mokou? And Yoka?"

The door to the temple school suddenly opened, and a startled cry came from inside from Kamishirasawa Keine. Mokou immediately dropped Yoru and ran to the surprised Keine, hugging her tightly, her joy overflowing: "Keine! I'm back! Waaah, I missed you so much!"

"Hey? Ye Ge, what exactly is your relationship with your wife?" Fu Hua nudged Ye Ge with his elbow, staring at her with a very strange look. Ye Ge awkwardly touched her nose, but seeing the two seemingly perfect lovers, she suddenly became tough again, patted her chest, and looked at Fu Hua with a disdainful gaze: "Stop looking, those two are both my people!"

"..."

Fu Hua, a single woman, is feeling depressed.

At this moment, Huiyin had finished catching up with Meihong and walked towards Yege. Looking at him, who had changed quite a bit, she gently punched him with her hand, her coquettish tone filled with longing and joy: "You still know how to come back, huh? Meihong told me everything. You've ruined quite a few girls in the other world, haven't you? Although I'm not in a position to say that, being a womanizer is wrong. I'll give you a good talking to tonight!"

"Huh? No!"

Yege looked bitter. He decided to give up on Huiyin's lecture. He would rather be beaten up by Meihong than face Huiyin, whose lecturing style was comparable to that of the King of Hell.

"Don't be so hopeless." Smiling, Kamishirasawa Keine patted Yoru's face, her smile as bright as Yakumo Ran's. "After all, I'm not some kind of devil. Tonight, you're allowed to sleep in the temple house, okay? Don't worry, I'll sleep... very soundly." Keine emphasized the last few words, causing Mokou's expression to become quite interesting.

"Alright, enough joking around. Go check on Inuzoki. Yoru, you really know how to order people around. Since you left, Inuzoki has managed your shop quite well. It's a good thing she's a yokai; if she were human, she would have collapsed from exhaustion. I've tried to persuade her several times, but she won't listen. You'll have to figure this out yourself."

Huiyin glanced at the Yorozuya shop, its decor altered but the large plaque still hanging on the ground, a hint of reluctance in her eyes. Yege, unusually silent, nodded gently, stood before the Yorozuya, and looked up at the newly renovated shop, overwhelmed with emotion.

"Although I only started the shop on a whim, now that Huahua has managed it, it looks quite nice. I'm really enjoying being a hands-off manager."

With a wry smile, Ye Ge patted his face and slowly placed his hand on the door. The moment he pushed the door open, he was actually a little nervous. He swallowed hard, but Ye Ge resolutely opened the door of the Yorozuya.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Behind the counter in the room, Inuzomi was sitting in a chair, writing something. Her knife was placed next to her, next to the boss's chair, but that seat was empty. Inuzomi was very focused and did not even notice when Yoru returned. She just responded with a businesslike tone and continued working.

"椛椛."

After considering it for a moment, Ye Ge decided to call out.

Ta-da!

Momiji Inuzomi's pen fell onto the table. She looked up in surprise and saw a familiar figure, hands waving at her, and a sense of closeness that resonated with her. She clenched her fists, slammed her hand on the table, and used the recoil to jump up. With the speed of a wolf, she moved with lightning speed and a white shadow flashed by. Momiji Inuzomi was in Yoru's arms.

"Sir, are you back?"

How long had she waited for that call? Every time she finished her work, she would lie alone on the bed in the Yorozuya, thinking about when her husband would return and let her pick up her sword again to fight for her master. She never sat in that boss's chair because that was Ye Ge's seat. She firmly believed that one day Ye Ge would return here and sit in that chair again, and she would stand by his side, silently protecting his safety.

"Thank you for your hard work, Huahua."

Looking at the obviously haggard Inuzomi Momiji, Yoru felt a pang of guilt. Yokai have great stamina; even if they don't rest all night, they won't get too tired and will recover after a good night's sleep. Inuzomi Momiji also possesses the power of the energy bottle and the ability to modify gas, yet she still looks so haggard. Yoru knew how much effort she had put into the shop she had opened without any intention of doing so.

"It's just for Mr. [the teacher's] work, nothing too hard."

Suddenly embraced by Yoru, Inuzou Momiji was clearly overwhelmed. Her pretty face flushed red, and her tail wagged rapidly behind her. She wanted to leave but couldn't bear to. The two remained in this embracing position.

Section 184, Question 180: What Does a Lie Taste Like?

"Sikshuu!"

"Mokou, forget it, forget it." Keine, both amused and exasperated, pulled Mokou back from the doorway as she rolled up her sleeves, ready to rush in. "Inuzoku really worked hard, so let's consider this compensation for her. After all, you saw how desperately she worked before."

Mokou struggled a few times, only to find that Fu Hua had also grabbed her shoulders, supporting her on both sides. Evolto was craning his neck to look inside. She sighed helplessly, giving up her plan to rush over, but still gritted her teeth as she looked at Yoru's back: "I didn't care so much about him living a carefree life in that world, after all, I wasn't a native, so I accepted it. But why am I not even in the story now that I'm back in Gensokyo?! I'm the main character!!"
