Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

Shinichi shrugged and said, "It's just because I happen to have some interest in those areas."

"Interested? Interested in skin care products?"

"uh-huh."

"..." Kitaoka frowned and couldn't help but think, if Shinichi wasn't trying to make him happy in the skincare store before, but was really interested in skincare products...

Think about it carefully, when would a man be interested in skin care products? It must be when he is preparing gifts for his girlfriend! How many men usually know about this? And Shinichi is obviously not the kind of delicate and cute boy, so there is only one answer...

Kitaoka knocked on the table lightly and asked, "Kadokawa Shi-kun... please don't tell me that you actually have a girlfriend, right?"

"Oh...I said no, do you believe it?"

"..."

No matter how you look at it, you're exploding if you don't hide your expression!

Kitaoka couldn't help but slap his head, and then asked resentfully: "You obviously have a girlfriend, Kadoya Shi-kun, so why didn't you tell me at the beginning?"

Shinichi spread his hands and responded: "You didn't ask."

Then, he looked at Kitaoka's speechless expression and asked with a smile, "So, Miss Kitaoka, are you still willing to continue dating me, who already has a girlfriend?"

Kitaoka was silent for a moment, then smiled crookedly: "...Humph~ Why not? Anyway, you are very much to my taste, Kadoya Shikun, just like a collection. If I like you, should I still consider the owner's mood and not buy it?

Shi-kun Kadokuni, the most unreliable relationship in this world is that between lovers. A falling out and breaking up is often just because of a small quarrel. The unreasonable behavior of either party can directly end the relationship.

Kadokuni Shi-kun, do you think that the relationship between you and your girlfriend is solid?"

Shinichi touched his chin and replied, "If you want to say it's solid, then it's solid... Anyway, I can't think of any more exaggerated words, anyway, it's very solid."

"..."

Shinichi's answer was so nonchalant, even a little perfunctory, but Kitaoka's expression showed a hint of surprise. It seemed that in the eyes of this kid, he and his relationship were indeed very solid.

If Shinichi answered this question eagerly and firmly, then Kitaoka believes that this relationship is not necessarily solid, and it is more of a one-sided self-perception. Because the more unsure a person is about whether they have it, the easier it is to deceive themselves by pretending to be certain.

If he hesitates, it means that he cannot even deceive himself.

However... Shinichi's performance now was calm and casual, and he could even answer in a teasing tone, so Kitaoka had to take it seriously, because the more calm he was, the more it showed that he was fearless.

That's right. In Kitaoka's eyes, the man in front of him is indeed a very good lover. His appearance is not to be underestimated. He is smart but not ostentatious. He is calm but not dull. He obviously knows how to please girls. It's normal for him to have a love history.

But Kitaoka was also curious, if they already had such a strong relationship, why didn't she refuse his invitation to a date? After thinking about it, Kitaoka came up with a guess.

Maybe this guy and his girlfriend really love each other, but... it is very likely that they haven't seen each other for a long time. According to Mai, this guy just moved to Tokyo recently.

Therefore, this guy and his girlfriend are probably already living in different places. He feels too bored without his girlfriend to provide him with emotional support, so he agreed to my date invitation just to have some fun.

That means... this guy's relationship with his girlfriend is not unbreakable! Being apart from each other is the biggest flaw!

Thinking of this, Kitaoka not only did not back down, on the contrary, she even gradually gained the motivation to face the challenge! What a joke, I have never given up on what I want since I was a child, and the same goes for men!

and……

"Kadokami-kun, the stronger the relationship between you and your partner, the more excited I am~" Kitaoka grinned and threw a coquettish glance at Shinichi.

Wow, it turns out to be a female thief? My apologies. But is it really okay for you to declare this in front of me?

Shinichi wasn't afraid, he chuckled and pointed at Kitaoka's hair, teasing: "Then I suggest Miss Kitaoka, you can try dyeing your hair yellow. NTR and yellow hair are more suitable."

Chapter 82: Ray Half-Immortal

"Mai-chan, there is good news and bad news~ Good news: Mr. Kadoya doesn't like Kitaoka. Bad news: He already has a girlfriend~"

With an amused expression, Youxia said to Mai beside her.

Mai's expression at this moment had already become lost and helpless, and she muttered: "Ha... yeah, I should have thought of it earlier... Mr. Kadoya can even cook, he must have learned it for his girlfriend..."

Seeing Mai so disappointed, Youxia encouraged her, "Ah, you're giving up now? Miss Kitaoka doesn't care at all and has no intention of giving up. You're even living with Kadoya Shikun. You're close to the water and you're in the first place. Don't you want to try such a good condition?"

"Um... I think, let's just forget it... Since Mr. Kadoya has someone he likes, I'd better not get involved. It's embarrassing..." Mai scratched her head and smiled reassuringly.

In response to this, Youxia curled her lips in disappointment. What a pity, there was no fun and no gossip to watch.

On the other side, after receiving a phone call, Kitaoka packed his bag helplessly and prepared to leave.

"Alas... It's inconvenient to have a company under my control. It's always easy for various clients to occupy my time when I need it the most. Alas..." Kitaoka sighed regretfully, and then turned back to ask Shinichi: "Well, Kadokawa Shikun, today's date ends here. Will you come next time I invite you again?"

Shinichi picked up the cup and said with a smile: "As long as you are the one spending the money, Miss Kitaoka, I will never refuse~"

In response, Kitaoka nodded in satisfaction, asked the waiter to pay the bill, then got into the car driven by his bodyguard and left the coffee shop.

Shinichi continued to sit in the coffee shop and enjoy his afternoon tea.

After Kitaoka left, the system floated out and teased, "Host, I didn't realize before that you are such a playboy. What happened to your promise to spend your life with your sister? You just crossed over to the dungeon and started to hook up with a long-legged beauty. If your sister knew about this, she would probably cry, make a fuss, or even commit suicide."

"Ah~ I just realized that you, a system intelligence, actually like to read this kind of gossip?" Shinichi asked the system with a curled lip.

However, the system, which had gained experience in bickering with Zhenyi, said that it was no longer willing to accept this: "Host, stop changing the subject. What's wrong with me wanting to read gossip? If you were more focused, would you give me a chance to eat melons?

Humph~ Tell the truth, what woman are you still thinking about? Kiba Kaoru? Shinagawa Rei? Izumi Tomoka? Don't you even let yourself go after your gender change, right?"

Many times, Shinichi rolled his eyes and responded to the system: “I am a species that is loyal to my own desires, and when I see a girl that suits my preferences, I am always honest with myself.

It’s not shameful to like pretty girls. I even had thoughts about my Chinese teacher when I was a kid.”

"..."

Shinichi's confident response confused the system. It was the first time it saw someone talk about being flowery so confidently.

"Also, although I am interested in each of them and have some dirty thoughts about them, have you ever seen me molest anyone even once without their consent? I am very well behaved, okay?"

"Forehead……"

The system showed an embarrassed expression. Don't tell me, it seems to be true. This guy has never made vulgar jokes to other women. Ah, except Ai Yi, this guy obviously treats his sister differently.

After the system was speechless, Shinichi slowly explained: "Also, don't think I'm that simple. Do you really think that I'm dating Kitaoka to pick up girls? It would be more convincing if you said that I came here to eat and drink for free."

"Ah? Um... so you agreed to date Kitaoka..."

"Da Ya's card box is in her hands." Shinichi pointed out directly.

"You want the card box in Kitaoka's hand?"

"Yes."

"Um... don't you have a dragon tooth..."

"Do you think that if I, a Dragon Fang from another world, appear in this world, there will be no accidents? Don't forget, in the Dragon Riders' worldview, the Knights' War is a cycle that cannot be escaped, and there must be an Odin who can reverse time and space.

Even if it's not Kanzaki Shirou, there must be another mastermind behind Odin who arranged the knight war. Do you think that my sudden appearance of Dragon Fang will not attract his attention?"

In response, the system suggested: "Why don't you just not transform? I've already told you, the host, that in a world where Kamen Rider already exists, there's no need for you to get involved too much."

"Huh~ You think I won't participate just because you said I won't? Do you remember what I said? I think all this is not just a coincidence. There must be something fishy behind this knight war... I need to participate in the knight war and find the truth."

Just as Shinichi was talking to the system in his mind, a woman with long hair passed by the coffee shop and sat next to Shinichi.

After ordering a cup of American espresso, the woman turned to look at Shinichi and asked, "My divination told me that today I will meet someone who can change my destiny at this place... I think it should be you, Mr. Kadoya... "

"Huh?" Shinichi was slightly stunned and turned to look at the woman next to him. The girl was wearing a reddish-brown coat, with long hair hanging down to her waist, and black tights that perfectly outlined her legs. She was fashionable and classic at the same time, young and energetic, yet mature and mysterious.

"I... probably haven't seen you before, Miss."

"Yes, this is the first time we meet, but I am more familiar with Mai, and I know your name from her." As she spoke, the woman pointed to Mai, who was sitting on the corner of the street not far away on the other side of the street wearing a baseball cap.

When Mai saw this, she was immediately shocked and quickly pulled her baseball cap down, intending to prevent them from discovering her identity. However, Youxia next to her did not cooperate very well and stood up and greeted her with a smile on her face.

So, amidst the noise, Mai and Youxia inexplicably joined the conversation.

“What is this… Kono-san, could you please not call me out so easily? This makes me really embarrassed…”

In response, Gao Ye muttered mysteriously: "When faced with an opportunity, you should actively strive for it, so that you can get the results you want in the torrent of fate. If you just escape and watch, you will only become a sacrifice to fate."

Mai, who was stupid, scratched her head and said, "Ugh... Kono-san is saying these inexplicable things again."

And Youxia smiled gently and said: "Takano-chan is telling you, Mai, if you like something, you should take the initiative to pursue it~"

"Ah! Don't talk about this, I've already given up..."

"Give up what?" Shinichi asked curiously.

"Uh... Hey, don't worry about what girls think, Kadoya-kun!"

"Haha~ Okay." Shinichi chuckled and looked at Mai's red face. In his heart, he knew it clearly, but, it's a pity, Mai-chan, this is a Type 7 love between you and me~

"Haha, can it be more 7-type than you hooking up with the sister you've raised for more than ten years?"

"System, shut up."

After Shinichi silenced the system that suddenly popped up, Takano, who was standing beside him, drank a sip of the strong coffee that was served to him and introduced himself to Shinichi: "Kadokuni Shikun, let me introduce myself. My name is Takano Sumiko, and I am the transformer of Kamen Rider Ray. You should have seen the battle at that time."

"Ah, I see." Shinichi suddenly realized, no wonder you are so mysterious, it turns out you are the half-immortal manta ray.

"So, Ray Han... ahem, Ms. Takano, you came to see me because of the so-called... destiny?"

Gao Ye nodded and shook his head, and said: "You can say yes, but you can also say no. I came to find you, even if it is because of fate, it is also to get rid of the control of fate... My divination tells me that you are an important part of breaking this knight war."

Shinichi raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "An important link? I'm not even a knight now. I can't participate in your battle. How can I break the deadlock?"

"Whether you are a knight or not will be revealed later. The most important thing is, Kadokuni Shikun, you are a sudden variable. The moment I divined your existence, my predetermined fate instantly became chaotic."

Shinichi's expression didn't change on the surface, but his heart was already surging. He could only say... Is he worthy of being called the Ray Demi-God? He actually got so much information about his existence just by divination.

This made Shinichi wonder, does fate really exist in this world?

"Ms. Kono...can I ask you a question? What do you think fate is?"

In response to this question, Gao Ye fell into a serious silence, thought for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "I can't answer... I only know that fate exists and it determines the life of each of us.

However, it is not a given, and any change in one's concept will have an impact on it. My participation in the Knight War was also due to fate, but I don't want my ending to be controlled by fate.

Kadokuni Shikun, let me be frank. I have predicted my own death. According to my original destiny, I will be the fourth knight to die in this knight war. "

"The fourth one?" Mai, who was standing by, couldn't help but look shocked, and she quickly stretched out her hand to count.

As far as she knew, two knights had died in this knight war. One was Li Jian, who was killed by Wang Snake, and the other was Yao Cui, who was killed by Yuan Qi.

My case is a special one. Although my predecessor died, my current one is still fighting, so it doesn't count as a retirement. Then, according to Takano's divination, doesn't it mean that if another knight retires, it will be her turn?

Shinichi couldn't help but ask, "Then... who is the next knight to leave?"

This question made Gao Ye silent for a moment, and then she took out a tarot card at random and placed it on the table. The tarot card showed the upright Death.

Seeing this, Mai's tone suddenly became panicked: "Death!? This... does this mean that Miss Takano, you are really going to die!?"

However, Gao Ye's expression seemed calm and composed. She shook her head and explained, "Mai, you don't have to worry. The upright Death in the Tarot card is actually the upright card. It does not represent death, but a major change. The end of the cycle has already begun.

My death has changed, and similarly, the fate of the third knight who should have died has also changed. According to normal fate, the third knight who should have died... is Da Ya. "

"Da Ya!? Isn't he... isn't he in the police station? And what does 'should have died' mean? Does that mean Da Ya can survive now?"

"Yes..." As she said that, she took out another tarot card, this time, it was the upright Tower.

"Not only did he survive... he also came back from hell, bringing great threats and disasters... and his target is... Kitaoka."

Chapter 83 I'm back from hell.

"destiny……"

Shinichi sat on the rocking chair on the balcony of the apartment, playing with the Dragon Fang card box in his hand, recalling the content of his conversation with Jingtian and Takano.

After explaining the reason for his contact with Shinichi, Takano invited him, hoping that he could help Takano break the knight war, but Shinichi did not agree directly.

Takano understands this and says that the next time they meet, she will bring an offer that Shinichi cannot refuse.

Shinichi didn't know what this woman was thinking, but instinctively, Shinichi didn't want to have much contact with Takano, because the divination of this Ray Banxian really had some bugs. He doubted whether his basic condition would be revealed by this guy if he had too much contact with Takano.

But he didn't know that while he was thinking at this moment, Takano had already started divination. However, looking at the result in front of him, Takano smiled helplessly and muttered: "Is the name also fake? So that's it, an outsider with a double-faced appearance. Kadoya Shi... who are you?"

Takano's divination was unsuccessful. Shinichi's momentary bad taste took effect at this moment, and his information was not understood by Takano.

Shinichi himself was also collecting the information he knew and analyzing it. At present, the number of knights he knew from various people should be nine in total.

Those who have died include: Li Jian, Yao Cui.

The ones that have been seen are: Dragon Rider, Iron Soldier, Sea Manta, King Snake, Flower Dream, Big Tooth, and Antelope King.

Those that I haven't seen yet are: Kaiqi, Yuanqi, Yeqi, and Odin.

hiss……

Not right.
