Gan Ye leaned back to avoid the blade, and complained in shock, patting his chest.

Of course, his panic was all pretended, because Gan could also see that even if he didn't dodge, Xiao An's angry knife would have only barely passed in front of him.

"Forget the sound just now!"

For the first time, Xiao An's cold and calm voice showed some ups and downs.

With a blushing face and holding a hand knife in anger, she looks really like someone who wants to tease her.

But forget it. Given Xiao An's personality, if I continue teasing him, he will probably chop me with a knife.

"Hey, what happened just now? Why don't I remember anything?"

It was just a lie to deceive herself, but it was enough for the girl in question.

Seeing Gan Ye pretending to be stupid, Xiao An quickly calmed down and looked at the people who turned a blind eye to everything that happened here.

"what have you done?"

"It's just a little trick to modify your cognition. To be honest, Xiao An, you are really amazing. Can you really just walk around like this?"

It was also thanks to the fact that she was not wearing her usual combat dress, otherwise such a conspicuous outfit would have been exposed in an instant.

At least change your hair color a little bit like when you approach me.

Gan Ye complained in his heart, and then in reality, he looked at Xiao An who had regained his composure, tilted his head and smiled:

"So, do you want to go get something to eat together?"

"…I just want to replenish my strength. I will still kill you afterwards." Xiao An was silent for a moment and said so.

Was this sentence directed at Gan Ye or herself?

Gan also blinked and smiled without saying anything.

Next, it’s time to think about what good food is nearby.

Chapter 322: What Izumi Kan'ya is good at

No matter what the reason is, delicious food is not to be missed.

Even though the man next to him was his assassination target, when faced with a variety of fragrant delicacies, Xiao An temporarily put aside his cold aura as a killer and enjoyed them to his heart's content.

Considering that Xiao An likes to eat Taiyaki, he probably likes sweet food.

With this idea in mind, Gan Ye took Xiao An to basically all the famous dessert shops nearby, and then selected each shop's signature desserts.

As expected, the originally cold little face softened visibly.

"How about Xiao An? The food on Earth is pretty good, right?" Gan Ye sat in his seat, looking at Xiao An who was concentrating on fighting with the fruit tart in front of him.

Staring at the fruit tart with an expressionless face and chewing it non-stop, it felt like he was feeding a cool kitten.

"It's very good, the flavors of various fruits are great in taste." Xiao An said lightly, and it seemed that he didn't like it that much.

However, he couldn't hide the fact that he finished one and quickly picked up another one.

Seeing Xiao An's look, Gan Ye's smile softened.

Sure enough, compared to the cold and killer Golden Shadow, he still prefers Xiao An who is quietly eating dessert.

It’s a pity that even delicious food has to fill your stomach eventually.

"Thank you for the hospitality." Xiao An wiped his mouth and said softly.

He raised his head and looked at Izumi Kan'ye with his dark red eyes.

I’m full… Maybe he wanted to express this, so Gan nodded.

"You're welcome. Since you're Xiao An, let me think...what should I do next?" Gan Ye tilted his head, thinking about where to go next.

Go to the bookstore... forget it, they just came out of the bookstore. As for the cinema, I guess Xiao An wouldn't be too interested. Let's just go to a cat cafe. Although not as exaggerated as a certain shameless classmate, Xiao An also likes cats very much.

He did not regard the Golden Shadow as a cosmic killer coming to assassinate him at all, so he was completely unprepared and fell into deep thought.

In this situation, with her speed, she would surely succeed as long as she made a move.

The golden shadow stared at Ganye's chest expressionlessly, and his slender white palm glowed slightly, as if it would turn into a sharp blade in the next second and pierce into the body of the man in front of him.

He raised his head and looked at the other person with his dim eyes, as if he was really thinking about where to take her to play next. His eyes, which seemed to be emotionless at first, fluctuated for a moment.

"..."

Xiao An closed his eyes silently, let out an imperceptible sigh, and then opened his eyes again.

The coldness that kept people at a distance returned to her eyes again.

"No need, Izumi Mikiya, there's no point in going on," Xiao An said softly, stretching out his hand gently, turning it into a blade and pressing it against Mikiya's chest.

There was almost no luster in those dull eyes, which indicated an almost numb emotion.

"Like you said, I am not a character from a comic book. I don't have the possibilities that are in the comic books. I am the Golden Shadow, an assassin in the dark and lonely universe, the Golden Shadow."

"So, if you want me to give up, defeat me head-on and then kill me."

"That's the only possibility."

There is little possibility of any de-escalation.

Ice-cold, emotionless words came out of that mouth that still had the sour-sweet taste of fruit tart.

The gentle smile on Izumi Kan'ya's face faded and he looked at the girl in front of him.

In those extremely dim dark red eyes, there is the numbness and despair that cannot be escaped from the endless and lonely universe, with both hands being stained with filth time and time again.

There is no doubt that the girl in front of him is Golden Shadow.

The legendary cosmic assassin, whose transformed weapon is Golden Shadow.

"Huh - really, Xiao An, you are a little too ruthless."

He let out a long sigh, his tone still casual.

But beneath his arms, his fists were clenched.

anger.

It's not that my kindness is useless, but I'm simply angry.

As expected, he still hates plots that don’t bring a smile to his face.

Even though it was tear-jerking, it was only because of the beautiful feelings that existed in fantasy. He liked those passionate emotions, but absolutely did not like those irreversible tragedies.

Close your eyes, open your eyes.

Gan also looked at the golden shadow.

He is not Rito Yuuki, and he does not have the ability to make Golden Shadow slowly accept peace and tranquility like Asashi. He also does not have the ability to make people put down their weapons simply by words and kindness. That is not his strong point.

Looking around, thanks to the help of the observers and the power of the jade milk crystal, no one noticed this side.

In the eyes of other passers-by, they may just be a young couple who are out on a date during the holiday.

Therefore, everyone was busy with their own things, and even if they looked over here occasionally, they would just smile knowingly.

With such a gentle atmosphere, it is worthy of being a dessert shop that brings sweet and sour tastes.

"Let's find a place where there is no one, Xiao An?" Gan Ye smiled and tilted his head to look at Xiao An in front of him.

“…Okay.” Glancing around, Xiao An nodded and temporarily put down the blade.

Without anyone noticing, Gan Ye traveled with the golden shadow.

Along the way, Gan Ye was still very enthusiastic in introducing the surroundings to Xiao An, where the desserts were more delicious, which cafe had cute cats, and which bookstore had a lot of books...

It’s a pity that in the face of Ganye’s enthusiasm, the golden shadow remained silent and never responded to Ganye.

If passers-by saw it, they would feel like a dog trying to please a cold goddess with a big smile on his face.

Just like that, with Gan Ye talking to himself, the two of them gradually moved away from the noisy commercial district and walked towards the edge of the city.

Finally, we stopped at an abandoned factory with no one in it.

"I can't understand, Izumi Mikiya, you've already made your choice, but why are you still doing this meaningless thing?"

Finally, after arriving at the destination, the golden shadow looked at Qianye with a slightly questioning tone.

He has clearly chosen to fight with himself, but he still acts as if nothing has happened and continues to try to please himself.

Could it be that this man still expects me to give up the commission?

"Meaning... Actually, not everything needs to be given a meaning." Gan Ye took a few steps back, creating some distance between him and the golden shadow, and spread his hands helplessly, "Just do it if you want to. It has nothing to do with anyone or meaning. I just want to do it."

"Sometimes, some things are not about whether they need to be done or not, or whether they can be done, but whether you want to do them or not... Xiao An, don't you have such moments? For example, when you want to do it and don't care about anything else?" Gan Ye stopped and looked at Xiao An opposite him.

"What I want to do..." Xiao An lowered his head and murmured softly.

Scenes flashed before his eyes. Those were images of his own body and his own weapons killing targets one after another. His hands were stained with all kinds of filth that could not be washed off, which was particularly eye-catching on his white and tender palms.

The slightly reappearing luster then dimmed again.

"I am... an assassin, a golden shadow, a weapon that takes the lives of others."

"Really? Sure enough, I'm not good at this kind of thing." Gan Ye sighed helplessly, and then the veins on Xiao An's forehead kept throbbing, and the stubborn Xiao An kept throbbing.

The nameless anger rising in his heart almost made him unable to control himself and he roared to the sky.

Ah, why can't I be like those Asian male protagonists who can win people over with just a gentle smile?

A warm feeling appears in the palm of your hand.

Izumi Kan'ye, who was complaining about himself, gradually lost his anger. He raised his head with a confident smile in his eyes.

But it doesn’t matter, even without those, he still has his own, unique strength.

"Well, let me introduce myself again. I'm Izumi Mikiya, Kamen Rider Otaku Knight - Izumi Mikiya. I'm going to defeat you next, so...please give me your guidance."

"Assassin, Golden Shadow."

[Altria Pendragon, UMP45, Saratoga. ]

【Attribute energy is loaded, element attributes are confirmed.】

The familiar transformation sound effect sounded, and the familiar power flowed through the body again.

That's right, this is the only thing he is good at. If words don't work, then let his fists do the talking.

Kamen Rider Home Rider——

"HenShin!"

Chapter 323: Letting Myself Go and Doing What I Want

boom! ! !

In the abandoned factory, the loud roar made the earth tremble.

Fists crush rock and blades tear through steel.

The black and silver knights and the golden assassins were fighting and colliding, and sparks fell like rain.

"I repeat once again, Xiao An, you are really very cute. This is not just flowery words to please you, but my sincere words!"

With his feet on the ground, Izumi Kan'aya spoke loudly.

At the same time, the wind was whistling, and the iron fist wrapped in the knight's armor smashed towards the chest of the assassin in front of him with a powerful force that broke through the air.

There was no holding back, there was no doubt that he used all his strength, the iron fist was enough to blow the twisted body away in an instant, there was no trace of mercy, and it did not match the words that came out of his mouth at all.

Boring!

The blade was across his chest, violent sparks flew, and crisp crashes fell.

"Gu..."

Feeling his arms going numb instantly, the golden shadow frowned, and his white legs with black leg rings suddenly exerted force and he jumped backwards.

The slender waist twisted, and with a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction, the fist with terrifying force was deflected.

It’s a very strong force and cannot be taken head-on.

The girl, who had rich combat experience, made a judgment immediately.

Under her control, her golden hair turned into sharp blades, stabbing at the black and silver knight in front of her from all directions.
