Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

【Wuka, you are indeed my angel. 】

"Then I won't be polite..." Just as Zhenlian was about to reach out her hand, a silver flash came from the side. By the time everyone reacted, a sharp paper cutter pierced Zhenlian's desk, just a hair's breadth away from Zhenlian's palm.

"Who is it? This is very dangerous!"

Tohka screamed out loudly, and Shin and Shiori looked in the direction where the paper cutter came from.

Standing aside was the white-haired girl, Tobiichi Origami. The paper cutter in her hand proved that she would have thrown another one if Shinren hadn't stopped.

"Itoichi?"

"Origami-san?"

"Tobiichi Origami!?"

"Hiden Mane, you are not allowed to eat Shiori's cookies." Origami didn't have any expression, but Mane still felt the strong hostility.

"Don't get in the way, Tobiichi Origami!" Tohka ran to Origami angrily and shouted.

"Yatogami Tohka, this has nothing to do with you."

"Shiori's business is my business!"

Watching Tohka and Origami fighting each other, Manren felt that it was better not to act rashly unless it was absolutely necessary, considering that Origami would use a throwing knife on her without hesitation.

"Okay, don't be like this. Origami, if you want to eat too, I made a lot." Shiori could only play the role of peacemaker again and pull the two apart to avoid an accident of AST members VS elves in the classroom.

"Shiori, please tell me why you are so serious about making cookies for Hiden Manren?" Origami said something very incredible to Shiori with an expressionless face.

"Eh hey hey? Wait... wait a minute, I didn't..." Hearing this, Shiori's face turned red and he stammered to explain to Origami.

"Every time you make cookies, Shiori can finish them very quickly. But this time, excluding the time you helped Yatogami Tohka, you took twice as long as the average time. You carefully picked out the ones with cracks and those with bad shapes; you talked to yourself about how to give the cookies to Hiden Shinrei; and you added more sugar this time than usual, probably to take Hiden Shinrei's taste into consideration."

"Wait a minute, how do you know so much?" Shiori no longer had time to feel shy about this. Instead, he was surprised and felt a chill at Origami's behavior.

But Origami didn't answer, instead she started eating Shiori's cookies without knowing when. Her mouth was as fast and rhythmic as an industrial cutting machine, and now there were fewer cookies.

"How despicable, Origami Tobiichi!" Tohka also started to grab the biscuits and stuffed them into her mouth, probably thinking that as long as she ate them, Origami wouldn't snatch them away from her.

In the classroom, Origami and Tohka were seen stuffing Shiori's biscuits into their mouths as if they were competing with each other, while Shiori stood aside with a confused look on his face, not knowing what to do.

[Wait a minute, how did it become like this? I haven’t eaten a single piece yet! ]

"Hey, you two..."

Realizing that something was wrong, Zhenlian started to panic, but it was too late.

The two girls ate all of Shiori's cookies.

"Hehe, what do you think, Tobiichi Origami? I eat more than you!"

"I ate sixteen, two more than you."

Seeing the two people sulking each other, Shizhi could only smile helplessly like a mother seeing two children fighting over a toy.

"I'm sorry, Hiden-kun, next time I...Hiden-kun is dead--!"

At this moment, Zhenlian lost hope and fell on the desk, turning gray.

Feidian is really pitiful, withering.

Chapter 2: Little Elves in the Rain

The dark clouds quickly devoured the entire sky, and the entire Tiangong City suddenly became gray. A few drops of rain hit the window with a few clicks. Then countless raindrops continued to hit the window quickly and forcefully. Tiangong City became a world of rain.

Looking at the violent rain outside the door, Zhen Lian suddenly became as weak as Nuomizi: "Oh no, I didn't bring an umbrella. Why is my luck so bad recently..."

I was already feeling depressed because I couldn't eat Shiori's cookies, and now I'm going to be soaked. Today is definitely an unlucky day for Zhenlian. If Zhenlian goes to that very accurate shrine to draw a fortune now, it will be 100% unlucky.

"Hiden-kun, don't you have an umbrella?" Shiori, who was standing aside, seemed to see what was on Manami's mind, and came closer to ask.

"Yeah, there's a good chance I'll catch a cold tomorrow." Zhenlian looked so self-deprecating, and she must have mentally prepared herself to go home soaking wet.

"It's okay, I brought an umbrella, let's go home together."

Shiori took out the folding umbrella next to his handbag and said. Although Shiori usually pays attention to the weather forecast, it is also for reference when drying clothes. As for the umbrella, Shiori will bring an umbrella to school no matter what the weather forecast is.

Seeing Shiori acting like a virtuous wife, Mayune sighed, "I'm so sorry, Goka. This will only increase the gossip among classmates."

Unlike Tohka who lacks common sense, Shiori is just an ordinary high school girl. It is impossible for her to not care about the romantic gossip among classmates. The exchanges in the past few days have probably caused Shiori a lot of trouble.

"It's okay, I understand this is force majeure."

"Goka, thank...you very much?" When Manren looked at Shiori again, she found that her face was dyed red and her whole body was shaking.

[No matter how you look at it, this expression doesn’t seem to indicate that it doesn’t matter. So, he still cares about it…]

Manren sighed slightly and secretly decided to buy Shiori a cake as an apology after she got paid from her part-time job.

The raindrops hit the umbrella rhythmically, making an intense and rhythmic symphony.

At this moment, boys and girls of similar age were walking in the rain under the same umbrella.

The redness on the girl's face has not faded yet, and she has had an expression as if she wants to say something but is hesitant since she left school.

Now that she and Shiori are under the same umbrella, even Zhenlian, who doesn't care about anything, cannot help but have no thoughts at all.

After all, they had kissed once before, and even though Manren had no memory of it, the feeling was still there.

I have to admit that when the three of them were dating before, Manren more or less focused too much on Tohka. Now that the two of them are alone together, Manren's attention is always on Shiori, intentionally or unintentionally.

Even though the air was a bit humid, Shinrei could still smell the faint fragrance of Shiori, and now she realized that Shiori's facial features were very regular, no wonder those bored boys would privately identify her as a high school second-year beauty. Although Shiori was considered tall among girls, she still looked a little petite next to Shinrei.

When she thought that such a delicate girl had the courage to face the elves nicknamed the human-shaped disaster and was willing to save them, Zhenlian felt a little funny for some reason.

Hearing Manren's chuckle, Shiori looked at Manren like a kitten whose tail was touched: "Hiden-kun, what are you laughing at?"

“I think of happy things.”

"What happy thing?"

"I'm sharing an umbrella with the great hero who saved the elves."

"Stop teasing me. I'll poke you!" Shiori puffed up his cheeks and poked Manren's ribs angrily.

"Alright, alright, I surrender..." Zhenlian couldn't stand the itch from her ribs and turned into a French soldier in a second.

After this, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly eased a lot. After a little mental struggle, Shiori spoke: "Um... Hiden-kun, although it's a bit sudden... Can I call you Shinrei-kun?"

Faced with Shiori's request, which did not require Shinrei's consent at all, Shinrei was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "No problem. In exchange, I will call you Shiori from now on. Do you have any objection?"

"Well, of course no problem, Manre-kun!" Shiori smiled like a child who had obtained his most favorite treasure.

Seeing Shiori's expression, Manren could only smile. If he saw this expression too often, Manren might become one of those good-for-nothing male protagonists that are hated by novel readers.

In the midst of the incessant rain, the two suddenly stopped.

In front, there is a girl in the rain.

The little girl was wearing a strange green coat. Because of the oversized rabbit ear hood, it was difficult for the two to see her face. She also had a funny-looking rabbit hand puppet on her left hand.

The little girl jumped around in the rain like an elf in a fairy tale.

I have to say, this little girl always gives people a very strange and familiar feeling, making it difficult not to pay attention to her.

Suddenly, the little girl fell to the ground because the ground was slippery, and even the rabbit puppet flew out.

"Hey, are you okay?" X2

Almost at the same time, the two of them ran towards the little girl in perfect tacit understanding.

After helping the little girl up, the two could see her appearance clearly. She had aqua blue hair and was as cute as a French doll.

But when she saw Shiori and Zhenlian, she took several steps back as if she was running away.

"that……"

"Don't come over here, please... please don't... hurt me..."

Unexpectedly, the little girl moved her lips weakly and spoke.

The whole person was like a kitten that had been scalded by boiling water and saw a kettle.

Seeing the little girl so alert, Shizhi didn't know what to do for a moment.

But Zhenlian took out the rabbit hand puppet she had just picked up and said, "Is this yours?"

The little girl trembled all over, and after she accepted in her heart that the other party would not give it to her on her own initiative, she walked towards Zhenlian carefully step by step, and then took back the puppet as if snatching it away.

Under the operation of the little girl, the rabbit puppet began to dance like the host of a puppet theater.

"Hello! A big brother who looks like a bad guy and a big sister who looks very kind! I'm really sorry, but you really helped a lot!"

Chapter 3 Unexpected Visitor

"Clang clang clang, big brother and big sister, I'm the lovely Yoshina."

With the little girl's skillful operation, the rabbit puppet bowed very smoothly, then covered its mouth with both hands and kept shaking as if laughing.

“Hehehe, didn’t big brother just touch Yoshina’s body all over? How disgusting! Big sister will be jealous because Yoshina is so cute!”

Perhaps because of ventriloquism, the puppet's voice was sharp and very recognizable.

Now that I think about it, my hand did touch the little girl's body when I helped her up. Although I didn't mean any harm, it's normal for girls to be a little cautious.

Zhenlian looked at the hand puppet that was still twisting, pondered for a moment, and then made a very strange sound: "This is force majeure. So it doesn't count!"

“Eh hey hey——!?” Shiori was shocked to see that Manren made such a strange sound without even moving his mouth, “Manren-kun, can you also do ventriloquism?”

“I learned a little bit before.”

Shinren's mouth was still closed, but she had a very smug expression on her face. Shizhi knew from seeing this expression that Shinren was getting carried away again.

“Forget it, forget it. Look, big brother helped us. Yoshina, please forgive big brother. Big sister, please don’t be jealous. Hehehe… Then bye~”

Following a strange laugh, the little girl who called herself Yoshina turned and ran away.

"What a strange child." Shizhi said, touching his chin as he watched the little girl gradually disappear from his sight.

"Indeed, he looks harmless, but his mouth is very powerful."

Zhenlian felt a little speechless when she spoke. Although it was said through ventriloquism, it was still a little hard to imagine this seemingly shy little girl saying such words.

"Ugh!"

A strong wind blew, and the only umbrella they had was turned into a standard "red wine glass" by the strong wind.

"Oops, we need to fix it quickly."

Seeing the umbrella being overturned, Shinren reached out to turn it back over, but after a more violent gust of wind blew over, only a black umbrella rib was left in Shiori's hand.

Looking at the umbrella flying in the air, the two had no choice but to head home at full speed with their handbags on their heads.

"It sucks..."

The two who had finally run back home began to take care of themselves at the entrance. Manre took off her shoes and poured out the water inside, while Shiori used a comb to comb the water droplets off her head to reduce the burden on her neck.

"I didn't expect the wind to be so strong that it broke the umbrella. I'd better take the bus home on rainy days next time." Shiori took off his coat and squeezed out the water while trying to recall whether there was any remaining detergent at home.

"By the way, let me wash Shiori's clothes tonight..."

When Manren turned around and was about to discuss today's housework arrangements with Shiori, she was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of her.

[It seems that today's bad luck has been cancelled out by now. ]

At this moment, Shiori's body was tightly pressed against the wet lining, and through the soaked white clothes, Shiori's aqua blue underwear was faintly visible in front of Zhenlian.

"Mare-kun, H..."

Shiori noticed Zhenlian's gaze and covered his body with his hands, puffing up his slightly red cheeks and scolding.

"Feel sorry……"

After looking away guiltily, Manren found a bath towel and draped it over Shiori to ease the embarrassment, then prepared to go to the locker room to change into clean clothes.

After opening the door of the locker room, Zhenlian was stunned - it was Tohka. Tohka was standing naked in the locker room changing clothes!

Seeing Zhenlian, Tohka was also stunned and couldn't react for a while.

[Is this... a common cliché in harem novels? ]

According to the normal script, Zhenlian should turn away her head with a red face and apologize, and then be beaten. But Zhenlian couldn't stand and take a beating, let alone a blow from an elf.

"Give it to Luda~"
