Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"Really... really can it be done like this?"

"Ah~ Of course, right? After all, magical girls are supposed to help each other. Think about it, no one has been able to understand the significance of your identity until now. Doesn't that mean we're the same kind of people? Don't worry."

With an almost seductive tone, Yuzuki whispered in Tomoe Mami's ear.

"It's okay. From now on, you'll never be alone again."

then.

A streak of red light, coming from afar, instantly struck the area between the two.

Clang—!

Both Mami Tomoe and Yuzuki Hana stepped back.

"...Tsk."

Jie Yuehua secretly clicked her tongue slightly.

Mami Tomoe looked in surprise toward the direction from which the attack was coming.

There... there are two people standing there.

"We've finally caught you."

A young man dressed in black and red clothes, and another young man holding a book and wearing an overcoat.

Gates, Wozniak.

The two men glared menacingly at Jie Yuehua.

"You lackey of the Time Jackers, are you planning to use the outdated concepts of this world to lead people who have returned to normal life back astray?!"

Volume Nine: The Demon King Appears: Chapter 371 It's not your place to tell me who I want to save.

"what…"

The situation before her eyes left Mami Tomoe stunned.

"Who are these two people?"

"Oh my, you actually dared to barge into this school? You guys are really bold."

"But you were originally thinking of preventing magical girls from being born in this world, right? This suits you even better."

"To prevent the continued existence of magical girls...? What does that mean?!"

Upon hearing this, Mami Tomoe became quite agitated.

"That's right, these people are a bunch of bad guys."

"Huh...?" When these words came out of Yuzuki's mouth, Gates was dumbfounded.

"What nonsense are you spouting over there, you little brat?"

"Nonsense? Isn't it obvious at a glance? What's the purpose of you two coming here? Isn't it to stop me from turning more girls into magical girls?"

Yuzuki looked at Gates with a smile.

"So, their goal is..."

"Just as you thought, these people are the same as the monsters called witches who just attacked the magical girls. They keep trying to stop me in order to prevent the birth of more magical girls."

"Nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove this?"

"Of course! Wasn't it you who just pointed a gun at us and attacked us? You don't want to call yourself some kind of righteous hero, do you? Oh, a righteous hero wouldn't use such a dangerous gun to attack innocent schoolgirls, would he?"

Tsk—Gates immediately put away the Faiz X phone he was holding.

But Mami Tomoe had already seen this scene, and coupled with Yuzuki's previous sweet talk, it was enough to clear her mind.

"That's not it, listen to that girl over there! Witches are monsters transformed from magical girls. That guy just wants to trick you into creating more people who will become witches!"

"Forget it, even if you explain to her, she won't listen to you at all, and do you think she'll believe what you say?"

Yuzuki looked at Gates with a cold smile, but the reality was that no matter what Gates said, the hostile gaze from Tomoe Mami would not change.

"Magical girls can turn into witches? Hey, what kind of parallel universe topic is this? Mami Tomoe, have you ever turned into that kind of terrifying monster even once in all these years as a magical girl?"

"...Absolutely not."

"Tsk...!"

No, that's for sure, because—the reality of this world has been completely rewritten by a man named Shilun Yanming, and from now on, no magical girl will ever become a witch out of despair again.

But even if she said that, would Mami Tomoe believe it? If she actually believed it immediately, then there would be something seriously wrong with her brain—something even Gates himself knows very well.

"It's no use talking to anyone in this situation, Mr. Gates, don't waste your energy."

Wozniak stepped out from next to Gates.

"I had expected this to happen."

"Oh, so what?"

"The gap in combat strength between you and us is huge, so it doesn't matter what you say to others to spread rumors."

then.

He raised his hand, and instantly, iridescent light burst forth from the tip of Woz's right arm.

"After all, if we take down the one who started the rumors, won't the problem be solved naturally?"

Bang——! !

The streaks of light, like sharp spikes, instantly hurtled towards Yuzuki.

Its speed is so fast that ordinary people cannot react—no, even Yuzuki Hana and Tomoe Mami after their transformations still cannot react in time.

But the girl opposite her didn't seem panicked at all.

Under the calm and composed gaze of Yuzuki, the black shadow that darted out immediately arrived in front of her.

Clang! With a sound like metal being deflected, Woz's attack was blocked by the shadow with his bare hands.

The person blocking the way for the two girls was a golden monster with ten faces all over its body.

"It's actually this guy...?"

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. Hmm, it's a shame you can't talk. You'd be perfect as a tool. We'll be going now!"

"Hey, wait a minute—!"

Just as Woz and Gates were about to give chase, the Ten-Faced Demon attacked first.

boom!!

A crater several meters thick instantly formed directly in front of the two people.

Then, a sudden gust of wind swept the two of them into it.

Boom—The explosion from the very first clash shook the entire street, immediately catching the attention of Mami Tomoe, who was standing beside Yuzuki Hana.

"What...! What was that thing just now?!"

"Oh, don't worry about it, don't worry about it. This guy is a good person. He's here to help us get out of trouble."

Good, a good person?! Mami Tomoe couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the monster with a hideous face and ten faces.

"Alright, there's no need to worry about those guys. Come with me, we have more important things to do."

"What exactly is that?"

"What? Didn't I already say that?"

"I'll say it again with a wicked grin," said Yukika again.

"Go create more companions for us, and turn more girls into magical girls."

----------------------

In order to prevent Homura Akemi from being forced to get involved, Yan Ming began to investigate alone in the city.

Of course, Woz and Gates were also there to help him investigate, but at this point, it seemed impossible to rely on the power of the Oma Zi-O Calendar KT.

Because this is something completely unrelated to what will be recorded in the book next, and since most of the information about this world has already been recorded, the book naturally won't provide much new content.

Moreover, the things happening here now are all caused by external factors created by Time Tribulationers, who come from outside the world.

"..."

As Yan Ming walked down the street, he heard a sudden commotion behind him.

He recognized the sound and atmosphere... It must be students from nearby Mitakihara High School coming out to relax after lunch break, all out to have lunch together.

However, at this moment, Yan Ming also heard another familiar voice.

"So, it's okay to go see a movie together from time to time?"

"I'd like to, but... there are so many tests lately."

"It's competition again! I've already said it's okay, watching a movie once in a while shouldn't be a problem, right?"

That's what they say...

Right behind Yan Ming, a group of high school girls wearing Mitakihara school uniforms were walking towards them, and the girl standing on the far left was a girl with yellow hair.

Yan Ming recognized the other person at a glance.

'Is that Aoi...?'

It would be a lot of trouble if they were to run into each other at a time like this. Although Yan Ming also wanted to have a short get-together with the other person, it wasn't possible this time.

And so—for that brief moment, the world ceased to function.

"...Huh?"

As if realizing something, Suwa Aoi couldn't help but look ahead.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry now?"

"No...it's just a feeling, like someone familiar was just in front of us..."

"Hmm... I don't know anyone."

"You must be out of your mind, Miss Suwa! Ahh—! Come to think of it, it seems that person hasn't come to see you these past few days!"

"Who is it?"

"Who else could it be... Of course it's that boy! The one with the purple eyes, so handsome but also so aloof!"

"No, that won't happen. After all, he said he'd be busy with some things during this time, so he won't be at school for a while."

"Really? We're waiting to see even more juicy gossip!"

"Ugh, they're just neighbors, I've already said that!"

Just as he was about to be seen, Yan Ming stopped time and hid in a nearby alley, thus avoiding being discovered.

"I'm sorry, let's have a proper get-together after everything is over."

Just as Homura Akemi didn't want Madoka to get involved again, Yan Ming didn't intend to drag his few close friends into this world.

In a world teeming with superpowered individuals, ordinary people might initially find it fascinating, but they would quickly be drawn into numerous dangers—a scenario that neither Yan Ming nor Akemi Homura wanted to witness.

"…Um?"

However, immediately afterward, Yan Ming saw a group of people walk past him.

These people looked to be wearing ordinary school uniforms; they weren't students from Mitakihara High School, and...

They were all heading further into the alley.

Thump—!

On the other hand, this is a torturous process that has been going on for some time.

"Waaah... I... I'll give it to you when I get back, okay...?"

"At this point, do you think it's just about money that everyone's waiting for?"

"...Huh?"

She stood there, stunned and despairing.

This is a girl with a bun hairstyle, and her hair color is somewhere between pink and purple. She looks to be around fifteen years old.

Then, she was surrounded by a group of high school girls.
