There is no tragedy in Kamen Rider

"To protect your most precious thing?"

Qiu Shanlian spoke softly, and the image of his unconscious girlfriend flashed through his mind.

pat!

When Qiu Shanlian was distracted, the plate in her hand fell to the ground without her noticing.

A crisp sound was heard, and the attention of Makoto Shinji and the other two was immediately diverted.

"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

My aunt didn't get angry when she saw the broken plates on the ground. Instead, she immediately showed concern for Akiyama Ren, who looked very bad.

But at this time, he was caught in the dilemma of fighting with his friends with whom he had a bond, and even killing people, in order to save his girlfriend, and Akiyama Ren didn't want to answer this.

She quickly took off her apron with both hands, walked out from behind the counter, and walked outside without saying a word.

"Lian! What are you doing? Come over here and help clean up."

Shinji Seito was puzzled when he saw Ren Akiyama wanting to leave.

If you break a plate, your salary will be deducted. And Akiyama Ren's behavior will cause her salary to be severely deducted no matter how gentle her aunt is.

Akiyama Lian looked at Makoto Shinji holding her hand with a fixed gaze, then said with a cold face: "Nothing."

Shinji Seito was stunned when he heard Akiyama Ren's cold and unfamiliar words.

"What are you talking about, Lian!"

"Nothing, you just put your hands in the wrong place."

Shinji Seito was completely stunned when he heard Akiyama Ren's strange words, and the hand that was holding him was forcefully thrown away by her.

After seeing Shinji Seito's hand loosen, Akiyama Ren turned around and walked out of the cafe without hesitation.

"lotus."

Kanzaki Yui wanted to say something, but stopped again when she saw Akiyama Ren pushing Makoto Shinji away with her hand.

.........

Late at night, Minglin University.

After finishing the work in her hands, Michiko Akita dragged her tired body out of the office.

The corridor was extremely dark late at night, with only a little moonlight reflecting in, allowing Akita Michiko to barely see the road.

Fortunately, this was not the first time she had to work overtime so late, so she had no worries about walking alone on the slightly dim road.

Just according to Murphy's Law and the needs of the plot, the corridor of Minglin University is destined to be different tonight.

Ding~clang~clang~

A strange sound was heard, and Michiko Akita looked behind her with some confusion. After seeing darkness, she shook her head.

"It seems like I'm hallucinating because I've been working for too long. Seriously."

After defining the strange sound as an auditory hallucination caused by her being too tired, Michiko Akita continued walking towards the front of the corridor.

Ding~clang~clang~whoosh~ding~

The strange sound was heard again. After looking behind her, Michiko Akita saw nothing but darkness. She immediately shook her head and smiled, but her pace became a little faster.

As Akita Michiko quickened her pace, the frequency of the strange sounds also became faster and faster, as if the duel between two people had reached its climax and the winner was about to be decided.

As she listened to the strange noises that continued to come, Michiko Akita ran faster and faster. After a scream, she ran to the window sill in the corridor and looked back in fear.

"who is it……"

"Who is there?"

The strange voice did not answer Akita Michiko's question, but gradually slowed down.

After the voice slowed down, Akita Michiko gradually calmed down, and her gaze slowly shifted to the windowsill.

The strange sound she heard seemed to come from somewhere.

cua!

Michiko Akita walked slowly to the windowsill and looked at the glass that reflected nothing but her own figure.

Gudong!

After taking a few deep breaths, Michiko Akita looked around with fear on her face. Only after making sure that there was nothing there did she pull open the glass on the windowsill.

After the glass was pulled open, the silent and dark night of Minglin University was revealed, and there was nothing downstairs.

Michiko Akita looked at the scene in front of her and patted her chest with some relief.

"It seems I should visit fewer websites related to urban legends in the future."

After giving herself a warning, Michiko Akita closed the glass.

With a click, the glass was closed and the strange sound stopped. Seeing this, Michiko Akita became more convinced of her inner thoughts.

I must take a good rest for a while.

After she relaxed, Akita Michiko's tense nerves also relaxed, and her whole attention was less focused.

After putting his hands down, he raised his head and prepared to take a deep breath.

But when I looked through the glass, I saw a monster's face!

A silver face with a pointed horn on its head.

"good evening."

The monster's face spoke to Akita Michiko, his voice full of masculine teasing.

"Ah ah!"

Akita Michiko's tense nerves had just relaxed, but then they tensed up again, and she immediately fainted with a black eye.

Chapter 8 Matrix Club

Newspaper office, early morning.

After Takahashi Toru prepared breakfast early, he stood at the door with Momoi Reiko and Shimada waiting.

Because today they will welcome another employee joining the newspaper. Although he is just a temporary worker, it is worth celebrating!

The way to celebrate is to have a delicious meal. As for having a dinner party, forget it because they have something else that needs to be investigated.

pat.

When the sound of a door opening was heard, Takahashi Toru and the other two looked towards the door that was pushed open, and then a somewhat thin woman came into their sight.

Yui Kanzaki looked at the three people from the newspaper office in front of her and nodded a little embarrassedly.

"Hello everyone, I'm Kanzaki Yui. Please take care of me in the next few days."

Momoi Reiko and Shimada both smiled when they saw Kanzaki Yui, who behaved very friendly as soon as she came in.

It is obvious that Yui Kanzaki in front of me is easy to get along with, and I believe the time ahead will be very pleasant.

However, among the three, Toru Takahashi's eyes changed the moment he saw Yui Kanzaki.

Because he felt that the Kanzaki Yui in front of him had the same fluctuations as the monster in the mirror world!

Although he was very confused in his heart as to why an 'ordinary human' in the real world would have an aura similar to that in the mirror world, Takahashi Toru still showed a very warm smile on his face.

This smile is not a disguise, it's simply that the Kanzaki Yui in front of him is really easy to get along with.

"Hello, Ms. Kanzaki. I'm Momoi Reiko. I'm the chief reporter of the newspaper. You can just call me Reiko."

Momoi Reiko stepped forward and shook Kanzaki Yui's hand, saying this with a welcoming smile on her face.

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Yui Kanzaki felt a little more relaxed.

Before coming here, she had prepared herself mentally for the possibility of being lectured by her seniors, but looking at the current situation, this seemed completely impossible.

And that boy named Takahashi Toru, although he doesn't look as handsome as Ren, he is more approachable than Ren. It seems that what Shinji said that day was not a problem.

"Ms. Reiko, please just call me Yui like Shinji does."

Kanzaki Yui held Momoi Reiko's hand and spoke casually, while her eyes were also on the food prepared on the table.

Seeing this, Toru Takahashi took a step forward.

"Just call me Takahashi. If there's nothing else to say, please have breakfast."

When Shimada heard Takahashi Toru say that it was time to have breakfast, the smile on his face became even brighter. He walked over and briefly introduced himself to Kanzaki Yui, then picked up the ramen and started the battle.

Shinji Makoto looked at Toru Takahashi and Shimada who were eating and pulled Kanzaki Yui's hand. He looked at the ramen placed beside him and said, "Yui, this is the ramen I told Takahashi about. The flavor is made according to your preference, so eat it quickly."

"Yui, Takahashi's cooking skills are very good, eat quickly. You're welcome."

Tao Jing Lingzi also tried to persuade them.

Seeing this, Kanzaki Yui nodded embarrassedly, sat down and picked up the ramen.

Looking at the delicious ramen in front of her, Kanzaki Yui just felt her stomach growling with hunger. She simply said to everyone, "I'm starting to enjoy it," and then took a bite anxiously.

"hiss!"

The ramen noodles were so smooth that they washed off my mouth, and after a taste, they fell into my hungry stomach, earning me a “delicious!”

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Upon seeing this, Toru Takahashi said something softly and then said no more. Momoi Reiko, who was standing next to him, took a few bites and then told him about what she had found out about the silver masked man at Minglin University.

"The masked man from Minglin University?"

After listening to this, Shinji Seito seemed to be thinking about something, while the look in Kanzaki Yui's eyes changed.

"Masked? Could it be Kamen Rider?"

Shinji Makoto whispered in Kanzaki Yui's ear to prevent Shimada, who was unaware of this in the newspaper office, from knowing.

After listening to this, Toru Takahashi just continued eating his sandwich, and it was obvious that he was not interested in eating.

Looking at Takahashi Toru's appearance, Momoi Reiko could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

She originally wanted to ask Takahashi Toru to go to Minglin University to investigate together. After all, Takahashi Toru's skills have been proven to be very strong based on previous events!

But it's probably not possible now, so Momoi Reiko turned her gaze to Kanzaki Yui and Seito Shinji who had just entered the newspaper office.

"Yui, do you want to go investigate with Shinji?"

After listening to Momoi Reiko's words, Kanzaki Yui nodded happily and agreed. When she heard the word "mask", she was sure that she would investigate.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

As for Shinji Makoto standing aside, he had no problem with Momoi Reiko's arrangement. He was just a little confused as to why Momoi Reiko and Takahashi Toru did not investigate it themselves.

Takahashi Toru didn't go because he simply didn't want to investigate, and Momoi Reiko didn't go because Takahashi Toru didn't want to go. After all, after the last incident, he felt that he needed to ensure his own safety in order to prevent a nasty guy.

"Shinji, if you encounter any difficulties during your investigation, remember to tell me."

After swallowing the sandwich in one gulp, Toru Takahashi flexed his muscles, his face showing anticipation of teaching the bad guy a lesson.

Kanzaki Yui was slightly surprised when she saw Takahashi Toru's appearance. She remembered that Takahashi Toru's business card was "Protecting Smiles and Preventing Tragedy"? And when he came in, Takahashi Toru looked so gentle, and he could cook delicious food. She thought Takahashi Toru was a gentle man like Tezuka.

The only difference between the two is their appearance.

Takahashi Toru is indeed a gentle guy, but that's only towards the things he wants to protect.

Breakfast was finished in the cheerful atmosphere of everyone.

Time soon came to the afternoon, and Takahashi Toru packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Momoi Reiko hurried over and asked her doubts after walking side by side with Takahashi Toru.

"Takahashi, why don't you want to go to Minglin University to investigate today? I feel that the masked man is very likely a knight."

Takahashi Toru walked a little slower.

"Lingzi, we have something more important to do right now."

Momoi Reiko was a little stunned when she saw Takahashi Toru's serious face.

"Takahashi, what's going on?"

"Investigate Kanzaki Yui's true identity! She gives me the same feeling as those monsters."

"Like a monster?"
