The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

"Well, definitely."

The young man smiled slightly, not caring at all about his hand being slapped away. Instead, he grabbed it and shook it hard before Qiange could retract his hand.

This heartless behavior made Qiange's face turn red in an instant.

Not far away, Zack, who was disarming the surrendering mass-produced black shadows together with Nagasaki Motoyo, was watching this scene, and the expression on his face was as exciting as it could be.

A man with a fighting face was actually smiling and flirting with an orange-haired girl and a gray-haired girl?

What’s even more funny is the expression of the orange-haired girl, that look of disdain mixed with tsundere. Why does Zack feel it’s so familiar?

——Did I really fall into some overlord’s illusion?

Even though he had seen Shaprulu in the spin-off, Zack still had doubts about life at this moment.

Nagasaki Suyo, who looked like she had found a companion for some reason, patted him on the shoulder gently and said calmly that he would just get used to it.

Zack touched his head, and finally just looked at Shapru a few more times, and continued his work without saying anything.

To him, different people are still different people, no matter how similar they look.

Then, Nagasaki Motoyo turned around and looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who had followed them to disarm the mass-produced black shadows.

"Xiao Xiang, won't you take another look at Miss Diya?"

"Everything Deya wanted to say to me was conveyed during that battle. If I continue to be sad here, I will be wasting what Deya entrusted to me."

Toyokawa Shoko showed a trace of sadness on her face, but when she turned her gaze to the sisters, she quickly became resolute.

"Let's leave the final goodbye time to Ruby. She needs to be with Deya more than I do. The existence of the Black Bodhi Tree must be taken seriously. I will immediately return to the World Tree to integrate the available resources. We cannot let that organization go unpunished any longer."

Having said that, Toyokawa Shoko also looked at Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Su Shi, you..."

"I will help you."

Without waiting for Toyokawa Shoko to continue, Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and nodded.

Unlike the previous dependent relationship that made both of them feel awkward, this time, Toyokawa Shoko felt that it was a choice that truly came from Nagasaki Suyo's own will.

"This world is a treasure that Honoka and the others have tried their best to protect. I want to protect it too."

"Ah, that's it."

Toyokawa Shoko also smiled, and was once again relieved that Nagasaki Suyo was normal.

"Then this time, let's all protect this world together."

Three months after the Helheim Crisis, the World Tree Foundation resumed its commercial cooperation with the Kingdom of Togia after several years, and the World Tree's Black Bodhi Tree Investigation Team was officially established. 】

The video ended with a black screen.

Chen Shi, sitting cross-legged in his home, stroked his chin and clicked on the replay option again with some hopelessness.

More than 10 hours have passed since the end of this episode. Chen Shi, who should have been chatting with people on the Fengmo Forum and watching people discuss the plot as usual, did not act like he did in the past. Instead, he was watching the latest chapter that just ended over and over again. An inexplicable sense of disharmony surged into his heart.

This plot is indeed not much different from the events he experienced in the past re-enactments in terms of the general context - Nagasaki Motoyo went to the Kingdom of Togia in the name of atonement to find Toyokawa Shoko who had lost her memory. After some adventures, both sides grew up and the concept of the Black Bodhi Tree Organization was introduced.

Although he knew at that time that these were obviously different from the plots in the stage plays and novels in the official history of Kamen Rider, it was the content after the TV series, and the form that should appear had also appeared, so there was no strict manipulation of history and destiny like the main storyline.

But now, after watching it repeatedly, he actually discovered some details that he had not noticed in the past.

That is what the goddess, Honoka Kousaka, does.

You know, although what happened in the Kingdom of Togia was not as cruel as what happened in the main storyline, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as tragic.

Several humans were turned into aliens, and there was even an incident like the Thousand Singers Hatano Minami that could cause Kousaka Honoka's PTSD to relapse. However, the level of participation of this girl who had become a god in the entire plot was much lower than Chen Shi had expected.

Indeed, Kousaka Honoka appeared twice in this plot, and seemed to be much more responsible than in the original stage play where she was just given a lock type online.

But if you really count it, these two appearances were essentially just two long-distance calls made by Honoka Kousaka. Even the step of locking the seed was omitted. She just transmitted a strand of her own power (seed) to Shoko Toyokawa.

If you think about it carefully, giving the lock seed directly to Toyokawa Shoko and giving him the power to cultivate it himself, although the final result is the same, the process experienced is completely different.

If Toyokawa Shoko's state of mind had undergone any slight change at that time, Zangetsu Kageko would most likely have ceased to exist and turned into a subspecies form such as Zangetsu Roar or Zangetsu Crown, which did not exist at all in Chen Shi's plan.

Chen Shi, who was in a state of demonic power at the time and had to manage multiple worlds at the same time, based on the logic of only focusing on the results, just glanced at the general future direction, and after confirming that it was correct, he didn't care about it anymore, and didn't even pay attention to this matter.

But now that his thinking is closer to that of humans, he suddenly felt that Kousaka Honoka's actions were somewhat like a test of himself, testing to what extent she could interfere with history without being discovered by Oma Zi-O.

——But is this possible?

Being able to adapt the process to a certain extent at least means that the other party is aware of the general direction of the plot in Chen Shi’s mind at the time. Otherwise, excessive changes to history would be like Minami Kotori, who was directly subdued by his own actions.

——And what’s the point of doing this?

No matter what the process is, as long as the result and direction do not change, Chen Shi’s re-performance will not be affected and the ultimate goal can still be achieved.

After thinking about it, he couldn't find any reason why Honoka Kousaka would do this or why she could do this.

However, considering that he had inexplicably lost a period of memory before the world was reset, his intuition told him that Kousaka Honoka's behavior was likely related to this incident.

"Can I just ask him myself?"

As luck would have it, the next second after Chen Shi said this, his doorbell rang.

Chen Shi looked up at today's date in confusion, and suddenly realized that today was the weekend that the real Kousaka Honoka had agreed to come to his house to get her transformation props.

"?"

This perfect timing made Chen Shi feel more and more strange. He suppressed the premonition that something big was about to happen, stood up, walked to the entrance and opened the door for the guest.

"Excuse me~"

The person behind the door was indeed Honoka Kousaka.

The energetic orange-haired girl greeted Chen Shi in a very familiar manner. Without even waiting for Chen Shi to say anything, she took off her shoes and ran into the house, then found a comfortable place to sit down.

Seeing the big guy sitting there who didn't consider himself an outsider at all, Chen Shi couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and instantly remembered the guy's style of running to his Fengmo Palace at every turn in the past.

Lamenting how deeply this guy was affected, Chen Shi poked his head out and glanced outside the door where no one else was.

"Didn't you say you were coming over with Maki and the others?"

"This..."

Kousaka Honoka scratched the back of her head sheepishly and spoke in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"Actually, after watching the latest episode of 'Gaiwu' yesterday, I suddenly felt like coming here earlier today, so even though I agreed with everyone to come here this afternoon, I still came here early this morning."

"Do you feel it?"

Chen Shi stared at Kousaka Honoka's eyes, which even he found strange, and the feeling of incongruity that had just been suppressed began to surge up again.

But just when he was about to continue asking something, Kousaka Honoka reached out and interrupted Chen Shi's question.

"Alright, alright, give me the driver and lock quickly. I've been craving them for a long time! Please!"

Looking at the eager eyes of Kousaka Honoka (QAQ), Chen Shi sighed.

Indeed, even if he wanted to ask the other party now, Honoka Kousaka, who knew nothing, would not give him an answer.

He placed the props that should have belonged to her on the table one by one. However, when taking out the Extreme Lock, Chen Shi still wanted to explain it to her seriously.

"I have to remind you of one thing. As long as you use this extreme lock, you are likely to awaken..."

"Bring it to you!"

"what?"

As Chen Shi looked at him with a look of astonishment, Kousaka Honoka, who had no intention of listening to his explanation, pounced on the Extreme Lock Seed from his hand like a hungry tiger.

Then, the orange-haired girl immediately put on a face that looked as devastated as when Abelroot first saw the Evolution-Drive.

"Finally! I finally got it!"

"Hey, wake up, you're not that kind of character at all, okay?"

Chen Shi couldn't help but start complaining, but Kousaka Honoka didn't care about Chen Shi's speechless expression. Following the inexplicable impulse rising in her heart, she stuck out her tongue at Chen Shi and pressed the switch of the extreme lock without hesitation.

“Fruits Basket!!!!”

The colorful light was lit up in Chen Shi's eyes as expected. Under the reflection of this color, Kousaka Honoka's pupils were also dyed with colorful colors. The whole person's expression changed from just being funny to a kind of otherworldly holiness at that moment.

However, this abnormal phenomenon only lasted for less than 1 second, and soon the light subsided. Kousaka Honoka came back to her senses and looked at the Extreme Lock Seed in her hand that had returned to standby mode in a daze. All the emotions and thoughts that had arisen in her heart before suddenly disappeared at this moment. She even couldn't figure out why she had done those rude things just now, and why she rushed to open this lock seed.

She blinked her clear eyes and looked at Chen Shi in front of her, then found that the other party's gaze was not locked on her, but was looking at the void behind her where there should be nothing.

Looking back, Kousaka Honoka met eyes with a Q version of herself with silver hair and heterochromatic eyes. Under the former's confused gaze, the latter smiled brightly and waved to her.

"Yeah, we finally officially meet, the other me~"

"Ugh?"

Honoka Kousaka's brain paused, and she was a little at a loss for a moment, but Chen Shi finally couldn't help it anymore.

"It's not a reappearance of a personality. You actually sealed your entire personality into her body? What exactly do you want to do, Honoka?"

Chen Shi suddenly understood a little. In the video, Honoka Kousaka's slightly changed operation process was indeed not to ruin his plan to perform again, but to test how to make him unable to discover her hidden trick at that time.

She was aware of the idea that she would eventually reset the world and was prepared for it.

——But why? Kousaka Honoka is not the kind of person who covets the power of God. Even if she knew about the world reset, considering that all worlds will return to normal and even save a lot of tragedies, she should be happy to accept it, right?

Chen Shi couldn't figure it out, but his serious question didn't get the response he wanted.

Kamishinoka looked at him in confusion, and there was a hint of joy in her smile on her pretty face, which looked a little chubby because it was shrunk into a Q-version.

Chen Shi always felt that this unpleasant expression was familiar... Oh, it was an expression he often showed, so it was okay.

"Hehe~ Do you really want to know?"

"Varied?"

This unexpected question made Chen Shi feel a bad premonition.

With a "biu" sound, the computer screen that was paused by Chen Shi suddenly went black. Then, a Gaim logo suddenly appeared in the center of the screen. This phenomenon also occurred in various worlds.

"This is!?"

Chen Shi was really surprised this time, because this scene was so familiar. If the Gaim logo in the center of the screen was replaced with Zi-O's, isn't this what Chen Shi does most often?

Yes, the spin-off of "Kamen Rider Duke & Knuckle" actually followed the idea of ​​Honoka Kamiya and went on air directly without even airing the trailer, bypassing Chen Shi's authority. He even changed his ancestral logo.

"you!"

It seemed as if countless shrimp dumplings shouting "Immortality!" and silly oranges shouting "Stage!" were running through Chen Shi's heart. Noticing his expression, Kamisama Honoka's mouth was almost crooked with laughter.
