I'm having fun in Tokyo

"The host can only complete the upgrade by returning to the main world. After the upgrade, you will gain a significant increase in power, and the skill system will also be updated."

Full of experience points? Ready to level up?

Morikawa Yu was startled.

He only intended to deal with Herzog, but he didn't expect this unexpected bonus.

However, level sixteen... this level, which is above the Great Swordsman and is the Sword Saint realm in the sense of swordsmanship, requires going home to level up?

Fine, I'll just go home then.

Anyway, Erii has been rescued, Herzog is dead, and the dragon matter is over. It's time to go home and rest.

Morikawa Yu thought to herself, then looked at Kazama Ruri.

Kazama Ruri finally stood up and looked at Morikawa Yu, her gaze blank.

Not long ago, he was filled with fear, not knowing how to kill the king.

Unexpectedly, not long afterward, he actually killed the King, and also learned the King's true identity, Herzog's real conspiracy, and so many unbelievable truths.

"Are you alright?" Morikawa Yu asked.

"Hmm, it's alright." Kazama Ruri nodded lightly.

Judging from his appearance, he was definitely not "okay".

His long hair was disheveled, his kimono was tattered, his chest wrap was loose, his chest was slightly bulging, and his arms were covered with white dragon scales, which were slowly fading, but only now had they faded to his forearms.

Kazama Ruri noticed Morikawa Yu's gaze, immediately turned around, and straightened her kimono.

After finishing, he turned around, looked at Morikawa Yu, put his hands together in front of his lower abdomen, and bowed deeply: "Thank you... thank you for helping me kill him."

“I’ve always wanted to kill him, but I’ve never actually managed to kill him.”

"If it weren't for your help, I would never have known that he had been using a shadow warrior to deceive me, nor would I have known his true identity. I was kept in the dark the whole time."

Morikawa Yu waved his hand: "It's nothing. Actually, I also really wanted to kill him, but EVA just happened to mention you to me, so I came to find you and we can work together."

In fact, Morikawa Yu didn't expect that he could kill Herzog so easily.

Although there were some setbacks along the way, with Ruri Kazama as the "bait," Herzog, the big fish, really swam back to the vicinity of his lair, where he, this unethical "fisherman," simply jumped into the water, scooped it up, and executed it on the spot.

Hmm... the flag wasn't raised in vain! A fisherman will never be left empty-handed!

Ruri Kazama nodded slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, then approached Morikawa Yu: "So, Herzog has been killed by us. Can you tell me who you really are?"

Who is behind that mask?

Chapter 471 Getting ready to go home

"My brother? Or...?"

"Brother?" Morikawa Yu looked at him strangely: "Why would you think that?"

"Do I look a lot like your brother?"

Kazama Ruri paused for a moment: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

“I thought he had discovered Herzog’s conspiracy, cooperated with Kassel College, found me, and joined me in killing that inhuman beast, the King.”

"But thinking about it a little, it makes sense. How could that blockhead have discovered the king's plot? And how could he have devised such a flawless plan to kill that beast, the king?"

“I guess in his mind, I am still that ‘extremely evil ghost’ who has killed countless people, and he is thinking of killing me again.”

After he finished speaking, he remained silent for a moment, then turned and walked out of the warehouse.

"What do you want to do?" Morikawa Yu quickly called out to him.

Kazama Ruri: "I'm going to find my brother and sister."

“My sister Erii disappeared a few hours ago. Someone infiltrated the medical area deep within the Hebi-Hachi family and took her away. My brother is very worried about her and is searching for her everywhere.”

He looked up at the street outside the warehouse in the night.

“I never knew she was my sister before. I hated her and felt that she had taken my place in my brother’s heart.”

"But I never expected that Herzog had lied to me. She was actually my own sister, and my brother and I became enemies because of his conspiracy."

"Now that Herzog is dead, I have to go back."

“I only have one brother and one sister, and I want to help find her.”

Ruri Kazama walked along.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned around and stared intently at Morikawa Yu: "Wait... I remember the King said earlier, 'You were the one who took Erii away...'?"

"Is my sister Erii in your hands?"

Morikawa Yu was also stunned for a moment, not expecting that Kazama Ruri actually remembered what Herzog said before he died.

He immediately nodded: "That's right, she's in my hands."

Erii is indeed in his hands.

Although saying this might make Kazama Ruri suspicious of his intentions, he had just dealt with Herzog with Kazama Ruri, so Kazama Ruri wouldn't just fight him directly and make him hand over Erii.

Upon hearing this, Kazama Ruri gripped the sword beside her tightly, staring directly at him, and took a deep breath: "You...you just said you don't care about the method to become 'god', right?"

Morikawa Yu nodded: "That's right, what's wrong?"

Kazama Ruri: "Then can you tell me what you want to do by taking my sister away, infiltrating the Hebi family, and taking her away from them?"

Morikawa Yu shook her head: "I didn't do anything. I just felt that she was in too much danger at the Snake Clan and wanted to protect her, so I took her away. What's wrong with that?"

Kazama Ruri frowned as she looked at him, as if pondering, "Then... who exactly are you?"

"I don't believe in kindness without a reason, nor do I believe anyone would be willing to risk danger to help others. You must have some ulterior motive for helping me and my sister, right?"

"Why do you always assume people are only interested in something?" Morikawa Yu chuckled. "Just think of me as..."

"Kamen Rider, is it?" Kazama Ruri continued, "Hmph, how can I believe you when you keep using these childish excuses to fool people?"

"Never mind..." He turned his gaze to the warehouse, which looked no different from the ruins, and the corpses of several shadow warriors.

“If it weren’t for your help, I really wouldn’t have been able to discover Herzog’s conspiracy, kill him, and continue to be deceived and used by him.”

“If you harbored ill intentions, you wouldn’t have helped me kill Herzog.”

“You could have infiltrated his inner circle, killed him after he used me and my brother to achieve his goals, and taken away his last piece of the spoils.”

"Moreover, judging from what just happened, Herzog is unaware of your existence, and he will be completely outmaneuvered by you."

"Therefore, I am willing to believe you."

"After all, you have no reason to lie to me, and you won't gain anything by lying to me. If you really wanted to harm me, I would have been dead just now."

"But... now that Herzog is dead, can you return my sister to me and my brother?"

Kazama Ruri looked at him intently.

Morikawa Yu frowned slightly.

He didn't want to hand Erii over to Kazama Ruri, nor did he want to hand her over to the Hebi-hachi family.

Because the Snake-Headed Eight Family simply didn't have the ability to protect her.

Ruri Kazama doesn't have that ability either.

He remembered that in the Dragon Raja storyline, it was mentioned that Herzog had a powerful backer.

That force exploited Herzog's greedy nature, inducing him to conduct an experiment to steal the White King's power, without Herzog's knowledge.

Now that Herzog has been killed by him, that force is very likely to personally intervene and conduct this experiment.

Although the other party might give up, if they don't and actually hurt Erii, he'll have no one to blame but himself.

All he wants now is to take her home, to get her away from this place, and back to his original world.

That's the safest place.

He has Hiizuki and the others, as well as Ryoko. He himself is the acting shrine master of Tokyo, and he has enough power to protect Erii and let her live an easy life.

Then he went home to rest.

And Erii's body.

Erii's body was eroded by the blood of the ancient dragon, and her condition was very bad.

Scarlet Moon and the Great Fox are powerful yokai from the Age of Gods, possessing many powers and abilities that transcend the system's ranking system. They should be able to heal her.

Even if they have no other choice, they know quite a few demons from the Age of Gods, as well as god lords.

There's always someone among them who might be able to save Erii.

Even if they can't help it, he still has the system shop. He can always exchange for special items from the system shop to save her.

He happens to have over 16,000 store points, enough for him to splurge for a while.

"In fact, I've always suspected that my master is Erii-san's older brother in a past life, or that he really likes Erii-san." Suddenly, EVA spoke through the wireless earpiece.

"He came to Japan out of some pity for Miss Erii, wanting to save her, which is why he found Herzog and killed him."

With her extraordinary hearing, Kazama Ruri also heard the voice coming from Morikawa Yu's earphones.

He pondered for a moment and said, "May I ask who you are?"

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment, and was about to answer when she suddenly realized that Kazama Ruri was asking about EVA.

"May I ask your name, sir?" Kazama Ruri continued softly. "I thought you were Norma, the central host of Kassel College, but after what just happened, I have serious doubts about your true identity."

EVA: "I was indeed called Norma before, but as for my current identity and anything else, I now serve my master and will not reveal it without his permission."

“I understand…” Kazama Ruri’s gaze turned to Morikawa Yu.

"So, Mr. Kamen Rider who wishes to remain anonymous, since you are unwilling to return my sister to my side and do not want to tell me more about yourself."

"And this lady who calls herself Norma is so mysterious, so... could I ask you for a favor and take care of my sister?"

"Why?" Morikawa Yu was taken aback.

"Didn't you just now not believe me and doubt my true intentions?"

Chapter 472 Please take good care of her, I beg you.

“Because… compared to you, I trust my brother more.” Kazama Ruri gently touched the knife in her hand.

“If you return my sister to my brother and me, he will definitely take her back to the Snake Clan and lock her up in the medical area deep inside the building.”

"Although he saw it as protecting her, it was actually a form of imprisonment."

"Because he knew Erii's power and feared her 'Word of Power: Judgment,' which was extremely dangerous and could endanger tens of thousands of lives if it went out of control. Therefore, he protected her like a younger sister, but he wouldn't allow her to leave the Snake-Headed Eight Family..."

"In short, my unreliable brother is really worrying."

“He once stabbed me in the heart and buried me in a deserted place. If he finds out that my sister is the ‘key’ to the road to the underworld and the best vessel for ‘God’, he may not protect her as before, but will kill her.”

"He claims to be a friend of justice, yet he is capable of doing such a thing."

“Furthermore, I suspect there’s someone behind Herzog.” Kazama Ruri suddenly looked up, staring intently at Morikawa Yu.

"His research records are too comprehensive, and his understanding of the dragon race is too thorough. This is not something he could have accomplished alone; there must be someone supporting him behind the scenes..."

Morikawa Yu's expression remained unchanged: "So you suspect I'm the person behind him?"

Ruri Kazama: "No, I'm not doubting you."

“If you are the person behind him, there is no need for you to appear in front of me and him now, nor is there any need to kill him so soon, after all, he disguised himself so well.”

“If you hadn’t suddenly appeared, we might not have known his true identity even after he achieved his goal, used and abandoned both my brother and me.”

"I'm just wondering, what exactly are your motives for helping me and my sister?"

"Is it because you like my sister?"

"My sister is indeed a naturally beautiful girl, very cute, obedient and well-behaved. She has always been raised by the Snake-Headed Eight Family in the deepest part of the Genji Heavy Industries, and is unaware of the ways of the world."

"She is indeed very attractive to people with a strong protective instinct."

“Even ignoring her bloodline, the power of words she possesses, and her identity, I still want to protect her. It’s not surprising that you want to take her away.”

"So you trust me?" Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Although I helped you, there's also the possibility that I wanted to use her power to do something bad, right?"
