Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

"That's impossible." Shiori made a cross with his hands and started to tie his apron, "I'll go make breakfast first. Kotori, go wake up Manre-kun."

"Shinrenkunn?" Hearing this term, Kotori tilted her head, "Sis, when did you give Shinrenka such a weird nickname?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Kotori's question, Shiori's face changed, as if this sentence was like a key that opened up Shiori's hidden memory - the column of light that fell from the sky, Origami's parents who were pushed away, and... Shinren who disappeared in the column of light.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh-!"

Very suddenly, Shizhi fell to the ground in pain, holding his head and screaming miserably.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Shiori's sudden abnormality scared Kotori so much that she even forced out her black headband commander mode. After changing into a black headband, Kotori immediately helped Shiori up and anxiously asked about her condition - if it was really because of too much sealed spiritual power in her body and she was overloaded, then Shiori might be in danger.

"It's okay, let's go wake Shinrenka up..." Shiori was sweating profusely but forced himself to force out a "I'm fine" smile.

The two came to the guest room on the second floor. Shizhi looked at the door in front of him. Every day Shizhi could easily open this door and call the owner of the room to have breakfast. However, at this moment, it was as if the door handle was burned red by flames. Shizhi did not dare to put his hand on it for a long time.

Is she afraid? Yes, she is. The person behind the door is not the one in her memory.

With a click, the door opened.

"Buongiorno (Good morning)...Kotori-chan, what happened to Shiori? Why are you making such a loud noise so early in the morning..."

It wasn't Zhen Lian who opened the door.

The person who opened the door was a girl who greeted him in Italian. She seemed to be the same age as Shiori. Her hair was chestnut-colored, just like Shinrei's. Her hair was straight and smooth, reaching down to her slender waist. Her eyes were also half blue and half purple, just like Shinrei's, like a miracle gem made by nature.

Although her hair color and eyes are almost the same as Mayan's, her temperament is completely different from Mayan's. If Mayan is quirky, then the girl opposite can be called well-behaved and quiet.

"Shinrenka, sister seems weird today." No one noticed that under Shiori's calm expression, he was already close to collapse.

"Indeed. There's a lot of sweat on your face. Are you feeling unwell?" The girl named Kamika came up and helped Shiori smooth his hair, which he hadn't had time to style. "Are you okay? Did you have a stomachache?"

"Kami... Kamika" Shiori said with a slightly trembling voice, "Let's go have breakfast together..."

"No, I'm busy today. The Metal Cluster Locust Key is not that easy to deal with. I asked Shiori to bring me breakfast. Grazie (Thank you)."

"!!!" Hearing this familiar word, Shiori was startled again and almost fell down the stairs. If Kamika hadn't been quick to help him, Shiori would have fallen on his butt.

"Be careful, it's very dangerous." After making sure Shiori was standing firmly, Kamikoichi said worriedly, "What happened? It seems like he has lost his memory."

"You mean the metal cluster?" Shiori even forgot to say thank you. He grabbed Kamika's hand excitedly and asked, scaring Kamika so much that she was stunned.

"You don't have a fever." Kamika placed her hand on Shiori's forehead to check his temperature. "After all, the problem with 001 is too big. How can we not solve the problem of the metal cluster as soon as possible?"

After saying that, Shenlianhua stretched and climbed into the refrigerator without even changing her pajamas.

With just one sentence, Shiori already knew that Kamikoichi's full name was Hiden Kamikoichi.

In the kitchen, Shiori was processing the ingredients with his back to Kotori. The faucet in the sink was on and the water was flowing. The sound was not loud, but it was just enough to cover up Shiori's soft sobs.

Chapter 2: Stranger (Part )

December 11, morning.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"

"Ah! I'm going to die!" Zhenlian jumped up directly from the bed, as if his back was touching not the soft and comfortable mattress, but a steel plate with high voltage electricity.

“Haa…haa…where is this place?” Zhenlian wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and looked around.

The unfamiliar ceiling, walls, floor and furniture made it clear that this was not my room.

Where is this place? Why am I sleeping in this strange room? Zhenlian couldn't help but start thinking.

【! ! ! 】

All the things were like scattered puzzle pieces, pieced together one by one in Zhenlian's mind.

Origami, dressed in black mourning attire, was destroying the city in the sky above Tenguu.

Origami, who learned that she was the murderer of her parents, fell into a reversal of despair. In order to change this desperate "present", Mana and Shiori went back to Amamiya City five years ago under the effect of the Twelve Bullets.

Shinrei pushed Origami's parents away and changed history. The person who was supposed to die under Origami's laser became Shinrei himself.

"This is most likely the butterfly effect or something like that..." Zhenlian hit his head. As expected, he still hated time travel the most. Those who wanted to play with time would eventually end up being played by time.

Pulling open the curtains, the world outside was still sunny and peaceful, although Zhenlian herself couldn't be sure whether she was in Tiangong City.

[The most urgent thing is to leave here as soon as possible and reunite with Shizhi and the others. 】

"Hey! Manren, it's time to have breakfast! Don't just stay in bed just because it's the weekend!"

Just as Zhenlian was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Mom, I know!"

Almost instinctively, Zhen Lian replied. A second later, Zhen Lian was also frightened by her own subconscious behavior.

"Mom?" Zhenlian sat on the bed in some surprise. It seemed that this short word was like a key that opened Zhenlian's memory of the past two years.

Although this paragraph is very general, it is roughly the same as the outline of a novel - my current name is not Hiden Manrei, but Hanyu Manrei. I am a survivor of the dawn air disaster in Liming City two years ago, and was later adopted by the Hanyu couple.

So, now Shinren is no longer Kamen Rider, but just an ordinary high school student.

In the bathroom, Zhenlian looked at himself in the mirror - his facial features had not changed, but his eyes had become much softer, giving him a sense of softness; his hair was no longer the chestnut color it had been before, but black, and his eyes had changed from half blue and half purple to pure blue, like a pair of blue gems.

"Is this... me?" Manren put on the black-framed glasses she found in the room before, which immediately added more scholarly air to the "Hanyu Manren" in the mirror.

Not only that, but by rolling up his sleeves and trouser legs, his previously strange hands and feet now became normal hands and feet.

When we came to the restaurant, probably because it was integrated with the living room, the whole restaurant looked very bright.

The father with a serious face was reading the morning paper carefully. The newspaper in his hand was the Tiangong City Daily. It seemed that although his identity had changed, Zhenlian was still a resident of Tiangong City.

The mother who was cooking in the kitchen had a ponytail on her side, and she gave off a peaceful feeling. It seemed that even the most anxious heart would calm down as long as you looked at her quietly.

And the one sitting at the other end of the table...

"puff--!"

Seeing the third person, Zhen Lian almost burst into tears, and that person even greeted Zhen Lian with a smile: "Good morning, Lian-kun."

“Ahhhhhh…” Zhenlian pointed at the man in shock with her mouth wide open, unable to utter a word for a long time.

That’s right, the one sitting at the dining table is actually Tobiichi Origami!

Moreover, the short-haired Origami now has long flowing hair and a cheerful smile that did not exist in the short-haired Origami. And why is she even calling him "Lianjun" so intimately?

The fact was so shocking that Zhenlian was completely petrified on the spot.

"Are you okay, Lianjun?" Seeing Zhenlian standing there stiffly, Origami walked forward with some concern to ask about Zhenlian's condition.

Facing the petrified Zhen Lian, his father snorted coldly: "You immoral brat, you are clearly having affairs with two girls, yet you are still pretending to be innocent."

"What's wrong? Aren't you and Origami classmates? You see each other every day, why do you have such a big reaction?" The mother also complained when she saw this, and then pushed the stunned Zhenlian to her seat at the dining table.

After a breakfast in a rather subtle atmosphere, Manren and Origami went out to school. Although Manren felt that it was not a good idea to stay with the current Origami, she was no longer a student of Raizen High School. Manren, who was not very familiar with the road, could only follow Origami.

On the way to school, Shinren felt a little strange walking side by side with Origami. It was no wonder that she was walking with the guy who almost killed her before and her good friend. No one could bear it.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, looking at Origami like this, Shinren felt relieved. Compared with the short-haired Origami before, the long-haired Origami was really just an ordinary girl. Since Origami really lived a normal life, then the efforts he and Shiori made to travel back in time were not all in vain.

【But speaking of Shiori, how is she now? 】

Thinking of Shiori, Mayu felt a little worried again. If Shiori found out that he was missing, he would surely cry out of anxiety.

"Ren-kun, you look so strange this morning. It's like you're seeing me for the first time. What happened?"

"What...what happened?"

On the way to school, Origami's sudden question startled Zhenlian, who was thinking about something.

"Hey, Lianjun, you're absent-minded again." Origami scolded angrily, "You're not thinking about that guy, are you?"

"Eh?" Zhenlian seemed to have extracted a new piece of information from Origami's words - her father had mentioned before that there seemed to be another girl besides Origami.

Who is that person?

But Shinren doesn't care, because the peach blossom debt left by Hanyu Shinren has nothing to do with him, Hiden Shinren.

What worries Shinren more is Origami's attitude towards her now.

Intimate nicknames, coming to Zhenlian's house to eat breakfast together in the morning, these signs seem to have only one possibility...

[She can’t be my girlfriend…]

Zhenlian's face suddenly turned ugly when she saw the angry Origami in front of her. It's not that it's bad to associate with a cute girl like Origami, but the guy who was chasing him with a laser sword suddenly turned into a delicate little girlfriend. This strong contrast made Zhenlian feel very uncomfortable.

Is normal origami still origami?

At this time, a group of people stopped Zhenlian and Origami. The leader was a thug with a mohawk. He looked at the two with a smirk on his face and said, "You two better be sensible. I have no ill intentions. I just want to borrow some money."

Zhen Lian was annoyed by the troubles caused by time travel and had no place to vent her anger, and this Mohawk was the perfect vent!

"Go where it's cool!" Zhen Lian slapped the handbag on Mohawk's face mercilessly. You know, he can beat twenty of these thugs by himself.

It's so pitiful to have messed with him today. It's his bad luck.

However, there was only a snap, and nothing happened. The Mohawk didn't even move. At that moment, everything seemed to be condensed, and the whole world was filled with an extremely awkward atmosphere. Zhen Lian even vaguely heard the sound effect of a distorted version of "Rising Kaban Slash!"

"Ah?" Seeing that Mohawk did not fly out as expected, Zhenlian's eyes turned into small eyes because of excessive shock.

「I forgot that I’m not a quasi-elf anymore aaaaaa——! 」

"Are you kidding me!"

Mohawk didn't hesitate and punched Zhenlian in the face. Zhenlian felt her head buzzing, and the only thing she could see was the blue sky and the shoes of other hooligans.

Zhenlian, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, became a punching bag.

"It hurts..."

Even though I feel very frustrated, I can only defend myself now. Since I am not a Kamen Rider, I can only passively take the beating.

"stop!"

Origami kicked Mohawk directly on the chin, and Mohawk groaned and fell to the ground.

Seeing the boss fall, the younger brothers immediately fled like birds and beasts.

"Lianjun, are you okay?" Origami walked towards Zhenlian who was sitting on the ground with a dazed look on her face and stretched out her hand.

"No...it's okay..."

Zhenlian was pulled up by Origami, but his mind was replaying Origami's kick. Zhenlian was too familiar with that kick, because he had blocked Origami's kick countless times.

This posture is said to be the military boxing in AST. It seems that this long-haired origami is not completely unrelated to the elves.

Chapter 3 Things That No Longer Matter (Part )

Traveling through time and space is a very beautiful fantasy. Even if it is impossible to achieve this in reality, there will always be a group of people who will indulge in endless fantasies based on this premise that can never be satisfied.

Countless theorems and paradoxes came into being. However, without the support of practical facts, no matter how credible the theory is, it is just a castle in the air.

However, thanks to a certain time elf lady, Zhenlian experienced a time travel, and it turned out that time is something that cannot be touched.

After countless indirect hints from Manren and her classmates, Manren understood that the current owner of this body - Hanyu Manren - looked no different from herself except that she could not transform into Kamen Rider 01 and had a softer personality.

It is no wonder that from this morning until now, even Origami, who seemed close to Manren, and her adoptive parents who had been with Manren for two years, did not realize that Hanyu Manren had become Hiden Manren.

The lunch break bell rang, and looking at the classmates chatting with each other, Zhen Lian sighed - it's not that he didn't know these classmates, on the contrary, he had an impression of everyone in front of him, and could also recall the details of their previous communication and interaction.

But so what?

Zhenlian had no real feeling at all when interacting with the students in this class. Even if she was familiar with them, they were just familiar strangers.

Zhen Lian sighed, left her seat, got up and went to the rooftop, ready to have lunch here.

When I opened the door to the rooftop, the first thing that caught my eye was the long snow-white hair fluttering in the wind. Compared to Zhenlian who was a little surprised, judging from the expression of the owner of the white hair, she didn't seem surprised that Zhenlian was here.

"Origami..."

Shinren didn't know what expression to make when he saw Origami. After all, Shinren only had a very vague memory of the long-haired Origami in front of him, so he always wanted to avoid contact with Origami, so as not to expose the fact that he was Hiden Shinren instead of Hanyu Shinren.

"Lianjun, please take a seat."

Origami prepared a picnic blanket and even moved to make room for Shinren, indicating that he could just sit there.

If she ran away, at best Origami would ask about the situation more frequently, at worst Origami would notice something.

Although Shinren didn't think Origami had the ability to deduce time travel, time paradox and other surreal things, the instinct generated by years of confrontation with Origami told Shinren that the opponent was Origami Tobiichi, and she must not act rashly no matter what.
