Perhaps, it is precisely this kind of experience that made Shinichi the person he is now...
"So what now? Shinichi-kun? Do you still want to find your parents?"
"Me now?" Shinichi was slightly stunned. He couldn't help but recall the memories of the original owner. After merging with the original owner, Shinichi accepted all the thoughts and memories of the original owner. It was just that Shinichi's personality was too strong, so it was more obvious. But he could indeed empathize with the original owner.
Recalling the original owner's feelings, Shinichi shook his head and said: "No... or rather, the moment I picked up Ai, I had given up looking for my parents, and after that, I became Ai's father, and my own father. I no longer need to choose a father's position for my life, because I chose to make up for myself."
"..." Kiba was slightly stunned. After drinking a glass of wine, he considered and asked: "Since father is no longer needed...what about mother?"
“……”Shinichi was silent, his eyes trembling slightly.
Shinichi can indeed say that he doesn't need a father, whether it's the original owner who chose to become Ai's father and use this self-identification to fill the gap in his life, or the father who was too strong and broke and had a great influence on Shinichi.
He could feel that the position of father in his life did not need to be filled.
However, the position of mother is a gap that neither the original owner nor he can fill or escape. For Shinichi, his choice is to put the blame on his teacher, but the teacher chose to respond with silence, which was an unsuccessful way to make up for it.
As for the original owner... in Shinichi's memory, it might be the nanny in the orphanage who took care of him. However, this care was very fragmented. After all, there were too many children in the orphanage, and the nanny could not watch him all the time.
Therefore, it is also a compensation for failure.
So, do Shinichi and the original owner want to make up for this regret?
"……I have no idea."
After thinking for a long time, Shinichi shook his head and gave this answer.
For him, who has always had clear goals, this may be his most confusing issue.
This confusion made him feel a little anxious. He looked at the cup in Kiba's hand and asked, "Can you give me another glass?"
"..."
Kiba looked down at the wine glass in her hand, then looked at Shinichi, and finally she handed her glass to Shinichi, then picked up the bottle and filled it up for Shinichi.
"...Thank you." Shinichi looked at the glass of wine that had been given to Kiba and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he chuckled and shook his head, not thinking any more about it. After thanking him, he drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
As Kiba looked at Shinichi in a different state, she suddenly discovered that Shinichi at this moment seemed to have an inexplicable similarity with Rito, whom she was taking care of. Both were extraordinary geniuses in some aspect, and both were firm and independent.
However, all these halos can hardly conceal the fact that they are essentially children who had a childhood full of flaws and regrets and grew up prematurely.
So, are they children who have grown into adults, or are they just children in an adult shell? Who can tell?
"More?"
"Sure~ You can drink as much as you want~"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll get drunk and cause you trouble?"
"It doesn't matter. I'll watch you sleep when you're drunk~"
"……Thanks……"
Chapter 193 President's Purpose
Although Kiba allowed Shinichi to drink as much as he wanted, even getting drunk was fine, Shinichi did not like to drink to relieve his sorrow as Kiba expected.
Instead, he actually only had one or two drinks and then stopped.
Shinichi's explanation for this was: "I don't want to put myself in a state where I'm not sober, even though it seems like the person helping to watch over me is you, Kiba."
Therefore, Kiba could not realize the idea of taking the drunk Shinichi home. She felt a little regretful about this.
This in turn made Rancho order another bottle of sake and drink one more round. When the midnight snack was over, Shinichi found that Kiba was already a little tipsy.
Under the colorful lights of Tokyo at night, the flushed cheeks and blurred eyes. This half-drunk Kiba has a unique charm, and Shinichi is a little dazed.
Shinichi helped Kiba up and asked, "So Miss Ranch, are you sure you want to drive in this state?"
"Hmph..." Kiba touched his slightly dizzy head. He rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you still have it? You drive and I'll sit in the passenger seat."
"Okay, fine, I'll drive." Shinichi spread his hands and smiled, intending to take the key given by the ranch. However, after touching the key, his expression suddenly changed. Then he smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah, wait a minute, I'll go back to the toilet first."
After avoiding Kiba by urinating, Shinichi came to the toilet and took out the mini crystal ball given to him by Tomoka from his pocket.
At this moment, the mini crystal ball was vibrating restlessly.
During this period of time after returning, Shinichi would occasionally communicate with Youxia, but the frequency of communication was not very high. They mainly chatted about family matters, and it was usually Shinichi who took the initiative to ask.
This was the first time Bai Youxia took the initiative to talk to him, and at such an awkward and even anxious time.
"Hey, Youxia, what's up?" Shinichi asked after answering the holographic call from Youxia.
The crystal ball showed a large portrait of Youxia. She said with a serious look, "Shinichi, the situation has changed. Do you remember what your system intelligence revealed before? Did you know that the Supervisory Bureau was going to send a Kamen Rider to monitor the situation?"
"Of course I remember. Why, did he come running over?"
Youxia shook her head and explained, "Although he hasn't arrived yet, he should be here soon. However, my current situation may not be suitable for any extra personnel to intervene. I'm afraid I can't spare the time to set up a banquet to entertain him."
"Is it not appropriate to allow extra personnel to intervene?"
Shinichi raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood the reason. He quickly asked, "What do you mean? Is Mai going to go back in time?"
"Yes, the quantitative change has caused a qualitative change. Mai's behavior in this reincarnation is a little abnormal. I guess it may be that her karma has accumulated beyond the critical value. Some memories that should not belong to this reincarnation have been received by her. If nothing unexpected happens, this reincarnation should be the last one."
"Ha~" Zhen nodded: "That's indeed not a very suitable time period, so do you have any plans?"
"I need to stay in this world now to make sure that Mai can go back to the correct time period. It's not suitable for me to deal with the inspectors who are coming soon. So when the time comes, I plan to let you, Shinichi, deal with the inspectors sent by the Supervisory Bureau."
"Leave the inspector to me? Are you sure it's okay?"
Youxia smiled softly and responded, "I believe you, Shinichi, and you are the only one I can trust around me right now. I hope you can help get rid of the inspector when the time comes."
Shinichi grinned and nodded: "Okay~ Since you said so, Youxia, let me take care of it~"
Shinichi would naturally not refuse Bai Youxia's request, but what Youxia said about Takahashi Mai's changes made him curious.
He asked, "I understand Mai's situation, but what about Akiyama Li? How is she doing now? I remember that in the last reincarnation, she seemed to have known your true identity."
Speaking of Akiyama Li, Youxia's face was quite distressed: "Ah, she, it's hard to say now. She's a little unstable. And she always holds on to me. She seems to regard me as the key to solving all reincarnations. But, unfortunately, I can't really solve all of this, I still have to rely on Takahashi Mai."
"She didn't cause you any trouble, then?"
"Ah, there are still a lot of troubles. For example, Odin is a little wary of me now. Of course, it doesn't matter anymore. This is the last reincarnation. As long as I can ensure that there are not too many mistakes in the process. Then in the end, as long as Jenny can go back to the time period when everything started with enlightenment and change the future, then the mission will be successfully completed."
"Thank you for your hard work. After you complete the mission, do you want to come to my world and rest for a few days?"
"what?"
"Oh, how should I put it? I've been missing you a lot lately, especially your unforgettable... you know~"
Youxia immediately burst into laughter, revealing a teasing look, and teased: "Haha~ Tasting the marrow makes you want more, right?"
"I'm a man after all. It's inevitable that I think with my lower body." Shinichi was not reserved at all.
"Hmph~ Let's talk about this later. I hope you can use your upper body to think more when facing the Kamen Rider of the Supervisory Bureau. If you can solve it and make me satisfied, I will let you use your lower body to think as much as you can."
"we agreed?"
"Of course."
Just when the two were chatting enthusiastically, some noise suddenly came from Youxia's phone. Shinichi asked curiously, "Youxia, what's going on?"
Youxia showed a helpless expression and said, "What else could it be? Of course it's Akiyama Li who is causing trouble for me again. This time, she obviously doesn't want to let me go. Well, let's stop here for now. I have to deal with a small problem first."
Seeing that the call was about to end so soon, Shinichi felt a little regretful: "Well, we can only say goodbye now, but before we say goodbye, can you give me a kiss? Even through the screen is fine!"
As he said this, Shinichi pouted his lips shamelessly.
Youxia looked at Shinichi's funny look, smiled helplessly, and said lovingly: "Oh~Okay."
As she spoke, Youxia on the other end of the phone stretched out her finger and touched her lips. Then she stretched her finger in front of the crystal ball. In front of Shinichi's surprised eyes, Youxia's finger actually passed through space, shuttled from the crystal ball to this world, and then pressed it on his lips.
After an indirect kiss, Youxia retracted her fingers and said, "This is a reward for you~"
Shinichi touched his lips and muttered in surprise: "Hey~ Are you still operating this way?"
He didn't expect that Youxia could actually let his hand travel to this world through the crystal ball, so he was excited and wanted to try to do the same himself.
But no matter how he touched the crystal ball, he couldn't achieve the same effect as Youxia, where he could travel through time and space.
Youxia laughed and said jokingly, "You wish! This is not the effect of the crystal ball, this is my own ability. Before there is another strong man of my level, I should practice more.
To paraphrase a post by someone posting photos of rabbits, if you want to learn this operation, you are 2 years too early~"
Shinichi showed a look of pity, then licked his lips. The subtle fragrance brought by his taste buds made him curiously ask: "Your lipstick seems to be cherry flavored today?"
"Haha, cherry mulberry flavor, do you like it?"
"Not bad. Of course, nothing turns me on more than your own scent!"
"Hmph~ Slippery mouth."
Just as the two were having a great time making playful remarks, a shout was heard: "Quan Youxia! Come out quickly! I know you are in there! If you have the guts to plot against me, then you have the guts to open the door! Don't stay in there without making any noise!"
Kiba once again showed a headache expression: "Ah... I talked to you for too long, that girl has come over... Dear~ I have to hang up first, bye."
"Goodbye~"
As soon as Shinichi finished speaking, the crystal ball returned to calm, turning back into an ordinary mini snowflake ball. He sighed with regret. In fact, he wanted to chat for a while longer...
But unfortunately, he also began to think about how to deal with the Kamen Rider from the upcoming Regulatory Bureau.
I don't know which series of Kamen Rider will come from the other side, I hope it's not too strong. If it is a existence like E-Boss, then if I want to force it, it may not be realistic with Shinichi's current strength.
However, Takahashi Shinichi's strength is far more than just his own martial arts. Most importantly, he has a brain that is always full of bad ideas. During the time he came out of the toilet and returned to the ranch, a more feasible plan had already emerged in his mind.
"You look pretty happy from your expression. You can even be happy just by going to the toilet?" Kiba couldn't help but complain as he looked at the slightly raised corners of Shinichi's mouth.
"Ms. Kiba, happiness is a habit. It doesn't matter what you do."
Looking at Shinichi, whose emotions were completely different from the previous conversation with him, Kiba sometimes couldn't help but sigh that the man in front of him had such a strong ability to control his own psychology that it was hard to describe.
"If I could be half as optimistic as you sometimes, I wouldn't have to suffer from insomnia in the middle of the night."
"Oh~ Sometimes insomnia in the middle of the night may not necessarily be related to pessimism or optimism, but may also be related to physiology. Maybe one day when I have time, I will take you to see an old Chinese doctor. Let them feel your pulse, give you some sleeping pills, and regulate your body. Your insomnia will be cured~"
Kiba shrugged and sat in the passenger seat, yawning and saying, "We'll talk about it when we have time... You know, if we want to go out to watch a movie now, we have to take advantage of this late at night to take a break from the busy schedule."
"Don't push yourself too hard."
"We have to push them a little. After all, the relationship between the monster forces is becoming more and more complicated. Recently, from my investigation, the Sicao Company and the municipal government may have some secret transactions that are not easy to talk about. Although I don't know how many specific people are involved in the secrets, the number should be quite large."
Shinichi got on the driver's seat, started the Ferrari, and said, "Ah, Clover Company, huh? That's interesting. Speaking of which, I haven't encountered many enemies related to Clover Company recently.
Instead, it was Masamune Sanada, who was separated from Clover, who was making trouble everywhere. Sometimes I even felt that although this company always did some shady things, it was surprisingly conservative.
At least, although their management is weird, their attitude towards weirdos seems to be to control them, rather than to indulge them. "
Kiba stroked his hair and nodded, "You are not wrong about this. Clover Company does maintain a control attitude towards most of the weirdos.
Especially those who are of lower level, failed in the experiment, and lost their minds. But it is precisely because of this that in my eyes, Clover is much more dangerous than the more flamboyant Sanada Masamune.
The purpose of Zhenqing Zhengzong is to use radical means to create what he calls a new human dynasty, allowing monsters to completely replace the status of current humans, or even surpass the status of humans.
But Clover's behavior is completely different from that of Sanada Masamune. I think the purpose of Clover's president is not to make monsters flourish or to develop a monster dynasty, but to infiltrate. "
"penetration?"
"That's right. He seems to be pursuing a kind of infiltration, hoping to use political and economic means to make the monsters become an inseparable part of human society. This kind of peaceful evolution is actually more terrifying than the radical aggression of the original."
"It seems like this guy is quite suitable to be a politician." Shinichi commented.
"But this is actually quite strange to me. I can understand the radical idea of Masamune Sanada to open up a monster dynasty. But for President Clover, choosing to create a group of monsters that are dependent on human society and difficult to eliminate through peaceful evolution, this essentially makes me feel that it is a sign of weakness, like the monsters showing weakness to humans and seeking shelter... I don't think the president's purpose is just for this..."
"Hmph..." Shinichi touched his chin and didn't comment. Although in Kiba's eyes, Clover's president was so conservative that she was surprised. But for Shinichi who knew all the reasons behind the scenes, he could understand Clover's president's purpose better.
Because if you combine his purpose with the philosophy of the Kamen Rider Regulatory Bureau, everything can be easily explained.
If Shinichi guessed correctly, what he pursued was never a dynasty of monsters that could subvert human society.
Instead, there needs to be a monster force that is endless, deeply rooted, and cannot be completely eliminated like a leech, because only in this way can the long-term existence of Kamen Rider be guaranteed.
Therefore, he had to start from all aspects and let the weirdos infiltrate every level of the society, from the most ordinary people and employees to business tycoons, or even the top politicians who could influence a country's political power.
However, this infiltration cannot be too radical, because if it is too radical and leads to the entire country and society being dominated by monsters, then the ending for Kamen Rider will also be destruction.
President Clover hopes that Kamen Rider will always have enemies but will not be defeated. As long as Kamen Rider exists in this world, this world will always be under the control of the Supervisory Bureau.
If he thought about it this way, Zhengyi suddenly had a guess in his mind. That is, it is possible that the current president of Clover is actually an indigenous native of this world...
Perhaps, there is also an arrangement by the regulatory agency behind him, or maybe...
