Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

However, Jie Yuehua simply spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"I thought you would like it, becoming famous, being revered by everyone... living a life seen as extraordinary. What's wrong? Is the fantasy of playing house over? I still think it's more suitable for you to continue to fantasize about all of this as a beautiful story."

"You really dare to say that...!"

Those provocative words caused Mami Tomoe to completely erupt.

Boom! Several gun barrels were aimed at the opponent, and magic bullets were fired in response.

"it's useless."

Jie Yuehua gently smiled.

"Since I dare to do this openly, it proves that I have no reason to be afraid of someone like you."

With a mere wave of his hand, the syringe-like object deflected the missile.

"By the way, I've actually done a lot of things like this today. So what if you stop those two girls from becoming magical girls?"

As soon as Jie Yuehua finished speaking, several golden ribbons swept towards her.

That's Mami Tomoe's magic.

However, for Yuzuki Hana, who was even stronger, this was nothing at all.

"In the end, you're too naive to feel hopeless at this level. I've seen a world far more cruel than yours."

The syringes transformed from one to ten, and then, from different angles, they pierced the incoming ribbon.

Golden ribbons overlap and intertwine within the space, transforming into an environment as densely woven as a spider web.

The two magical girls kept intersecting with each other in this space.

However, no matter how different spaces were constructed, the girl named Yuzuki Hana was able to tear all these formations apart with her powerful strength.

"Tsk...!"

Mami Tomoe, slightly out of breath, hurriedly tried to use the new ribbon to capture her opponent.

But the opportunity was seized at that moment.

"It's too slow."

Behind him, a syringe was thrust directly at him.

When Mami Tomoe opened her eyes wide and turned her head at the last second, even the reflection of the opponent's weapon was in her pupils—!

The crimson figure then rushed towards them.

With its unpredictable spear, it easily blocked the syringe's attack.

"Really—I told you to take it easy, Mami!"

It was Kyoko; she too was armed and had come to his aid.

"Alright, you two can come at me together."

Yuzuki Hana, however, nonchalantly deflected Kyoko's weapon and darted up the stairs of a nearby building.

"It's too boring if it's just one person. Even if the two of you come together, you still can't beat me."

"and…"

The words that Yukiko was about to say stopped in her tracks at that moment.

What's wrong--?

Not only her, but also Kyoko and Mami Tomoe widened their eyes.

"This aura... could it be..."

The three magical girls simultaneously sensed a powerful aura, known as that of a witch—

It sped out from under them.

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

Then came a truly outrageous scene.

The enormous body suddenly tore the residential building in two. Fortunately, this area consisted of abandoned residential buildings; otherwise, it would have resulted in heavy casualties.

Mami Tomoe and Kyoko Sakura fell down together on the street not far away.

"Ahh...! What, what is that?!"

"A monster... no? Could it be the legendary witch?"

"Are you kidding me? It actually exists..."

"That...that's practically as big as a building!!"

The sounds of people discussing things along the street reached my ears.

The two magical girls staggered to their feet, and the sounds in their ears became clearer than before.

"No...with so many people here, that thing will...!"

Unsurprisingly.

Suddenly, a gigantic witch, like a chimera, appeared.

It merely waved its arm casually, and instantly unleashed countless shockwaves.

Even the other end of a distant street was affected.

Boom—!!

The ground shattered, and rubble flew everywhere. Even utility poles and streetlights were cracked by the strong wind.

"Waaaaaahh ...

The onlookers screamed in panic as streetlights and utility poles collapsed everywhere, causing incredible shocks and dust.

"Oh dear...it seems some unlucky soul went into despair and turned into a witch on the spot."

Standing on the rooftop, Yuzuki watched all of this with remarkable calm.

"Well, they seem pretty strong. I'll let them finish you off. I'll be going now."

As for the two magical girls, they no longer had time to care about Yuzuki Hana's affairs.

"We must...find a way to stop it."

The girls set off one after another.

then.

"...Isn't that the magical girl who was reported in the news before?"

"Why are they here...? Are they here to save us?"

Upon hearing these sounds, Mami Tomoe instinctively turned her head.

On the other side, a group of reporters arrived, along with countless onlookers.

"Why?"

Surprisingly, these people seemed fearless, completely unconcerned about the situation before them. They simply stood at the back, some using cameras, others using cell phones, constantly filming everything in front of them.

"That guy looks familiar, blond hair... Could he be the magical girl from the news not long ago?"

"I remember what it was called... I think her school also closed down."

"Is it because of her?"

"Could it be that the girl... killed someone at school?"

"Isn't it often rumored online that there's some terrible connection between magical girls and witches... Maybe she's the one who caused this incident."

"So you directed and acted it all yourself?"

"Hey, you guys, stop talking nonsense and get out of the way, it's my turn to take pictures! I'm sure I'll get a lot of likes, shares, and followers when I post them online!"

"But just repeating these things isn't very interesting. How about we change the content a bit and say that a magical girl and a witch attacked the street together? Wouldn't that be more eye-catching?"

"Anyway, magical girls are just a bunch of people who look like humans. If there's an opportunity to make money with this kind of popularity, wouldn't that be incredibly smart?"

"That's a must! Of course we have to really enforce a hierarchy of discrimination and contempt!"

"Let's stir up another wave of 'holier-than-thou' types and discriminatory people arguing, and we'll have the secret to generating a small amount of traffic!"

…ah.

At that moment, Mami Tomoe stood there, listening to what those people were saying, almost forgetting to breathe.

"Hey... Asami! What are you doing—"

Kyoko Sakura, who was working hard nearby, turned her head and saw this scene.

Mami Tomoe... was trembling all over.

"Asami...Asami?"

That was the expression on the girl's face, as if she couldn't help but feel like vomiting.

Mami Tomoe wasn't disgusted not only by the repulsive behavior of the people in front of her, but also... because she was reminded of what happened yesterday.

Magical girl... herself, treated as a being other than human, constantly questioned, framed, and slandered, with no regard for her thoughts at all.

They even question their own existence.

"Damn it... what are those guys even saying—"

Sakura Kyoko used all her strength to unleash a powerful blow.

However, they failed to notice the attack coming from the other side.

Thump! The next moment, the girl in red was knocked to the ground.

"…Kyoko?"

Mami Tomoe turned her head, trembling, and saw a breathtaking scene.

Sakura Kyoko collapsed to the spot, as if she were dizzy.

and.

The two girls she had just saved also collapsed not far away.

The enormous witch slowly approached, and of course, the onlookers behind her, having already gathered enough information, all hurriedly ran away.

The witch's arm was aimed at the girls in front of her; she could wipe them all out in an instant.

Mami Tomoe... couldn't move her body no matter what she did.

That's all I could do, limp and broken, straddling that position.

A tear rolled down the girl's cheek. She bit her lip tightly, unable to utter a single word or make a single movement.

Just as that enormous hand was about to crush everyone.

Just as she was heading towards utter despair due to various factors.

Time stood still.

The witch's enormous arm remained completely still above the girls' heads, in a motion-blurred manner.

"…What?"

Tomoe Mami Sora looked ahead in surprise, tears streaming down her face.

A man walked towards this side.

He held something that looked like a watch in his hand... his expression was calm, so calm it was almost inhuman.

All the tragedies were averted by the stopping of time.

The man...the young man stood not far from him.

He ignored everything around him, looked at himself, and asked himself questions.

"Why didn't you stop it just now, magical girl?"

Consciousness, memory, feelings—everything was in chaos.

Mami Tomoe is in this state right now.
