I, the Stand-in, Kamen Rider

Fortunately, Gu Chengxiu didn't intend to show anything like breaking boulders with his bare hands, so this "morning" passed quite peacefully.

Rick seems to be going to get a "telescope" or something.

With that kind of thing, the vigilance against danger and the like can be raised to another level, so it is quite necessary.

Gu Chengxiu understands, but...

Something wasn't quite right with Rick.

Kojou could tell that Rick had been in a rather delicate state.

It seems to be a person crawling forward in the mud with a heavy burden on his back.

One wrong step and it will crash.

"..." So Osamu Kojo decided to talk to Rick for a while.

But Shubi stayed with Rick almost all the time—sticking to Rick's side almost [-] hours a day, almost making Gu Chengxiu think that Rick was really a lolicon.

But there is still such a time.

"Yo, Rick."

Kojou took a big box and found Rick who was observing the spot.

"What's the matter, Gu Chengxiu?"

"It's really strange, you can call me Axiu obviously."

Gu Chengxiu sat opposite Rick, "What are you looking at?"

"The map—the next departure point is also very important, when the time comes..."

"I will go too, I have what I want to know, the necessary knowledge." Gu Chengxiu replied, "By the way, Rick, I have a question for you."

"what?"

"Rick, aren't you tired of carrying so much on your own?"

This sentence made Rick stunned for a moment, "What are you talking about..."

"Forget it, anyway, I can see a little..."

Gu Chengxiu opened the wooden box and handed the contents to Rick, "Eat something?"

"……Thanks."

It was a food called a "sandwich" made by this man.

It can satisfy the taste while being full, and it is easy to carry and easy to make, so most people in the settlements eat it this way.

"Cooking is not a waste of food. If you don't know how to cook and still do it, that is disrespect for food." Gu Chengxiu smiled slightly and said such a sentence.

"...I don't understand at all." Rick muttered.

"No, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Rick, do you think the world will stop war one day?"

"do not know."

"Yeah, it is precisely because I don't know that I want to make it the day when it really exists."

These words made Rick look at Kojoo with a somewhat astonished expression.

"I'm still looking for information—I want to know the reason for the start of the war, the conditions for the end of the war, and I want to end this war—although I already have some clues, but those clues are not enough." Gu Chengxiu continued Said, "Human beings are fragile and weak."

Gu Chengxiu picked up the chess board next to him, and then placed the pieces, "But we humans have different strengths—that is, our 'will' and 'wisdom'."

"Will produces hope, hope breeds dreams, and dreams change the world." Gu Chengxiu put the king in front of his eyes, and smiled softly, "Although human beings are weak, they have never been truly defeated."

Gu Chengxiu turned Bai Zi's direction to Rick, "Let's play a game, if I lose, I will give you some of my skills—although not much, but it is enough to change some things."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

According to the rules of chess, the white piece (Rick) goes first - then...

after an hour.

"..." Gu Chengxiu stared blankly at the chessboard in front of him.

"Dead end..." Rick smacked his lips.

When neither side is able to kill the opponent's king, it is called a dead end - which is also a case of a draw.

In fact, Osamu Kojo's chess skills are not very good, but his calculations are still good, and he forced Rick to a dead end.

"Ah, damn it." Rick scratched his hair.

"Your eyes are bright when you are playing games." Gu Chengxiu smiled, "Only at this time, I can feel your 'will'."

"..." Rick was silent.

Gu Chengxiu smiled, "Why, am I wrong?"

"You are really difficult to deal with."

"I think I'm kind."

"...Haah... Really..."

"Rick, what kind of world do you want this world to be?"
