Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

After sitting down and exchanging a few polite greetings, the two of them fell silent, and the atmosphere on the rooftop suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The girl lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhenlian, and she always looked like she had something on her mind but couldn't say it out loud. Anyone with an IQ of two digits would understand that Origami must have something on her mind that was difficult to speak of.

Emotionally, Zhenlian must ask Origami what exactly is going on, while rationally, tells Zhenlian that if she talks too much, she will make mistakes, and the possibility of being exposed will be greatly reduced as long as she doesn't communicate.

In addition, if this long-haired Origami is really dating Hanyu Marin, then once Hanyu Marin knows something he shouldn't know, it will be really difficult for him to convict himself of taking the blame or the Minotaur of the crime.

[Forget it, let’s eat. ]

Zhenlian sighed helplessly in her heart and took out a chocolate bread from her bag.

When Origami saw the food that Zhenlian took out, her eyes widened in surprise: "Lianjun, what is this?"

"Chocolate bread, bought from the cooperative." Zhenlian didn't take Origami's question to heart and stuffed the bread into her mouth.

"Wait!" Origami wanted to stop Zhenlian but it was too late.

"vomit--!"

As soon as the bread entered my mouth, a strange feeling of nausea surged up from my stomach. The texture of the bread was like a sponge soaked in slop, and the chocolate sauce was like a drunkard's vomit mixed with moldy cocoa beans.

Just one second after he put it in his mouth, Shinren spat it out, but even so, the nausea was still there. Origami also hurriedly handed Shinren some water to help him get rid of the remaining food in his mouth.

"Ugh..." Zhen Lian, feeling as if she had been a snow-eater for once, squeezed out a few words faintly, "I must demolish that cooperative..."

"Lianjun, have you forgotten? Because of the psychological barrier left over from the Dawn Disaster, you can't eat anything too sweet." Origami gently wiped the corners of Zhenlian's mouth with a handkerchief, and said helplessly, "I didn't expect Lianjun to be a bit troublesome. If I really transferred to another school, I would probably have to worry about you every day, right?"

"Hmm?" Manren didn't care about the reason why he couldn't eat sweets now, but instead grasped another word, "Transfer? Tobiichi... Oh no, Origami, are you transferring?"

"Eh?" Origami realized that she had said something outrageous and was immediately confused. After adjusting herself a little, she spoke again: "Yeah. I'm sorry, Lian-kun. Although I don't want to be separated from Lian-kun, I really may have to transfer to another school."

As if afraid that Lian would worry, Origami immediately added: "But that school is also in Tiangong City, not far from here. If Lian-jun really minds, we can go out together on the weekends to make up for the time..."

Although Origami seemed to have a lot more to say, Shinrei put her hands on Origami's shoulders and looked her straight in the eyes: "Origami, are you going to transfer to Raizen High School?"

Although a little frightened by the sudden action, Origami nodded: "Yes. Lianjun, how did you know?"

"Uh... I was just guessing..." Faced with Origami's question, Zhenlian could only lie to fool her, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

[Huh... Fortunately, he's not going to another school. ]

But the next second, Zhenlian realized something was wrong - was she feeling relaxed because the long-haired Origami in front of her would not leave her?

Since returning to the present timeline, Zhenlian has always felt a sense of disharmony. Now Zhenlian finally understands where this feeling of disharmony comes from - she has not returned to find Shiori and the others until now.

Based on Zhenlian's previous mobility, he would have chosen to leave early in the morning and run to Raizen High School at the latest, but he didn't. Whenever he thought of Shiori, he would forget it immediately after a few seconds.

It was as if the consciousness of the world or the instinct of this body was preventing him from returning to Shiori and the others.

What makes people feel the coldest is that even though Zhenlian has realized this, she has no desire to take any action.

When she sacrificed herself countless times to protect Shiori, the power from her heart seemed to be scattered by the wind like dust. Just like Miku's brainwashing, the will of the world has imposed an iron rule on Zhenlian's values: "Don't go back to the past life."

Simply put, even though you have an idea in mind, your body unconsciously wants to maintain the status quo and start moving.

Shinrei only now realized that perhaps he was not simply occupying Hanyu Shinrei's body. Now the body was no longer simply Hiden Shinrei, nor was it simply Hanyu Shinrei. The two consciousnesses coexisted in a very subtle relationship.

After school, Zhen Lian walked out of the school gate. She walked out of the school gate with the idea of ​​returning to the Gokawa family.

A few minutes later

As expected by Zhenlian, she finally arrived at Hanyu's house. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar door, Zhenlian became more convinced that there really was an invisible force that made Zhenlian return to this place.

【I will go home and think of a solution for now. 】

"I am back."

When Zhenlian opened the door and saw the girl with shiny black hair and Gothic dress standing at the entrance, his face froze immediately.

"Welcome home. Mr. Zhenlian, do you want to take a shower first? Or eat? Or do you want to eat me?"

Chapter 4 Things That No Longer Matter (Part )

"Kuang San, why are you here?"

Seeing the most evil elf appear at the entrance, Zhenlian reflexively picked up her handbag to defend herself, although the handbag could not block Kurumi's spiritual bullets like the briefcase sword.

"Ahhhh, you're so wary of me. I just went on a thrilling time travel with you. How sad."

"It seems that the one who traveled through time with me was Shiori, not you."

After saying that, Kuang San showed a look of wanting to cry. But Zhen Lian didn't buy it, and knew without thinking that this expression was just an act.

"Oh, don't worry about the details. After all, with the help of the Nine Bullets, I can say that I have traveled through time with Mr. Manrei."

"Don't round Shiori off without permission! Although in your eyes she may just be food." After saying this, Zhenlian pressed Kurumi against the wall and said half-asking and half-threateningly, "But it seems that you should also remember the things in the first round of the world. So hurry up and use your angel to let me go back to the past!"

"Oh, Mr. Manrei is really rude. Girls won't like this."

Facing the threat from Shinren that was not a threat at all, Kuang San's mouth trembled slightly, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh. This was no wonder, after all, Kuang San knew very well that Shinren, that is, Hanyu Shinren, was just an ordinary person, and he was actually threatening an elf, which was more or less like fighting a Gundam with a wooden stick picked up on the roadside.

"This has nothing to do with you."

"But let me warn you first, this is very dangerous."

"what?"

Before Zhenlian could react, he was hit hard on the head by an iron fist!

"pain!"

Zhenlian covered her head and turned her head, only to see her mother's oppressive smile.

"Man, you can't bully Kuang San!" As she said that, her mother gestured with her iron fist, which was as powerful as Nohara Misae's. This really made Man, who inherited Hanyu Man's memory, feel the fear engraved deep in his memory.

"Auntie, you misunderstood. Manren was just joking with me." Seeing this, Kuang San waved her hands and smiled to help Manren smooth things over.

Seeing that the "victim" forgave Zhenlian so gently, the mother could only press Zhenlian's head and apologize to Kuang San: "This child has a bad personality, please be more tolerant in the future."

"No problem. After all, I quite like Zhenlian like this."

And Shinren saw Kurumi's smile out of the corner of her eye. There was no mistake, that smile was a smile that showed off her status.

Judging from her parents' current attitude towards Kuang San, it is not difficult to see that Kuang San is likely to be a frequent visitor to Hanyu's home. Shinren is also basically certain that the other of the "two girls" her father mentioned in the morning is Kuang San.

In a rather subtle atmosphere, Shinren, Kurumi and their parents finished their dinner. After dinner, Shinren threw his coat on the desk and lay directly on the bed - in this new world, he received too much information, so that the fatigue of his brain made him feel physically tired.

If possible, he really hoped that everything was just a dream and everything would return to normal after sleeping.

Suddenly, Zhenlian felt a pressure on his back, not too light or too heavy, then he felt his waist being clamped by two fleshy things, and finally his back being pressed by two soft balls.

"What are you doing, COSing as Pancake Frog?" Without looking back, Zhenlian knew that Kuang San was lying on his back and complained in a very unpleasant manner.

"Really? The girls are coming closer to me. If I don't react at all, I'll be failing." Kuang San leaned close to Zhenlian's ear and spoke to him in a voice full of laughter.

I have to admit that the airflow when Kuang San spoke made Zhen Lian feel a little itchy, and with such a close contact, Zhen Lian couldn't help but smell a very pleasant scent.

But so what? Now it was obvious that there were more important things than sticking with Kurumi, and Zhenlian still believed that what was in her brain was the hippocampus rather than the corpus cavernosum.

"But it's really unexpected. You actually came to my house. Judging from my parents' reactions, you must have visited them quite often. I'm quite curious about what the relationship between you and me is." Zhenlian said as she twisted her body like a caterpillar and crawled out from under Kurumi.

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Mr. Zhenlian's girlfriend."

"You are lying."

"And ten times every night."

"You are definitely lying!"

Facing Kurumi's lie, which couldn't be more false, Zhen Lian rolled her eyes. If this was true, excluding the possibility of reproductive isolation between elves and quasi-elves, the only possibility was infertility.

"Oh. How boring. Mr. Shinrei used to blush when he was teased a little." After teasing Shinrei to no avail, Kuang San pouted on the pillow, but the next second her tone became a little amusing, "But it's really unexpected. Mr. Shinrei, you haven't asked me yet, what do I know."

【! ! ! 】

Only then did Zhenlian remember that she should have asked Kuang San for information about the second round of the world as soon as possible. The result was the same as everything that happened before, as if an invisible hand had lowered the priority of such things in Zhenlian's mind by several levels. If it weren't for Kuang San's reminder, the will of the world would have thrown all this out of Zhenlian's mind long ago.

"Kyousan, what's going on with me? What is my current identity, and why do I always feel that something is preventing me from returning to Shiori?"

"Alright, alright, don't worry. I'll be responsible for explaining." Kurumi clapped her hands to let Manren be quiet for a while, "First of all, let me explain why Mr. Manren's identity in the second round of the world is Hanyu Manren instead of Hiden Manren. The first and most important reason is the will of the world mentioned before."

"Ha, is there any difference between this and no explanation?" Zhenlian complained. After all, isn't the so-called world will just a universal shield that authors use when they can't justify themselves?

"Please don't interrupt." Kuang San took out a teaching stick from somewhere and tapped Zhen Lian's head lightly. "Just like before, because Miss Origami went back to five years ago, she hated elves five years ago; it was because Miss Shiori went back to five years ago that she formed a bond with Miss Origami. Our actions seem to be controlled by ourselves, but in fact they are arranged by the will of the world."

Although Zhenlian listened to every word of Kuang San, he was still very concerned about the fact that Kuang San skillfully took out the teaching stick from her room in the second round of the world, so much so that he couldn't help but wonder if he really had something with Kuang San in the second round of the world.

"However, with the intervention of 'me' five years ago, Miss Origami's life has changed drastically, and triggered a series of butterfly effects. As a result, the will of the world took action, making the world of the second round as consistent as possible with the orbit of the world of the first round."

After hearing what Kurumi said, Zhen Lian nodded: "I did some research before. In the second week, Origami's parents died in a car accident five years ago. So even if we go back to the past, the established facts cannot be changed. 'Origami's parents' unnatural death' cannot be changed. This fact will only slightly delay and change the cause of death."

"That's right, that means Mr. Zhenlian's death date has been determined by the world. You absolutely could not have died five years ago." Kuang San nodded, "The following are all my unfounded guesses. The fact that the world didn't want Mr. Zhenlian to die five years ago is inconsistent with the fact that you died five years ago. The best way to solve the problem is to solve the person who caused the problem, so just make sure that there is no 'Hiden Zhenlian' in the second round of the world, and you will get the identity of Hanyu Zhenlian."

After listening to what Kuang San said, Zhen Lian thought for a while and found the blind spot: "Wait! If the established facts really cannot be changed, wouldn't Origami also become an elf and reverse?"

"Bingo!" After saying that, Kuang San took out her cell phone and pulled out a photo from the album, then handed the phone to Zhen Lian.

The person in this photo is the black spirit that turned Tiangong City into a living hell in the first round. However, it looks like a second round Origami with long hair.

"It's not hard to guess, except for me as a time spirit. As long as certain conditions are met, it will become a singularity, that is, keep the memory before the time change. As for the conditions, let's assume that it is 'possessing spiritual power' and 'being hit by the twelve bullets'. However, the reverse spirits have no self-awareness, so Miss Origami is so normal in the second round. As for your situation, Mr. Manre, I can only temporarily assume that your consciousness after death is not that strong, and you have not been able to completely replace Hanyu Manre."

"I see. It seems that Hanyu Manrei doesn't want to go back to Shiori." Manrei nodded. In fact, it was not difficult for him to understand. Although the days before were indeed full of beautiful girls, they were undoubtedly full of various dangers.

On the other hand, Hanyu Manre has a harmonious and wealthy family, and his parents are open-minded. After a day of observation, Hanyu Manre is indeed much more popular than Hiden Manre. To be even more shameless, he has Origami, who can almost be regarded as a quasi-girlfriend, by his side. He can definitely be regarded as a winner in life.

"But is it really so?" Kurumi showed a mysterious smile on her face, "Could it be that Mr. Kamen Rider's will can't even defeat an ordinary high school student?"

"How is that possible? I'll show you how I defeat you in a moment." Zhenlian directly denied Kurumi's guess.

But Kurumi looked at Manren with interest - she had a question from the beginning, why would Hiden Manren be so determined to help and save Shiori?

Kuang San knew that all the elves were created by Phantom. So Kuang San naturally had reason to believe that Zhen Lian might also be the masterpiece of Phantom.

Although it is still unknown what the significance of creating a quasi-elves that cannot be sealed by Shiori is, since there is a precedent of Kotori being affected by the spirit crystal, Kurumi has reason to suspect that Shinrei's "love" for Shiori was designed by Phantom.

In the second round of the world, Zhenlian is no longer a quasi-elf, so she naturally lost the "love" that was set. Without the foundation of "love", the bond built on it will not stand firm.

This may be the biggest reason why Manre was unable to defeat Hanyu Manre.

Chapter 5 Things That No Longer Matter (Part )

Because of the interference of the so-called world will, Zhenlian had no way to return to Shizhi and the elves independently. But when she thought about it, Zhenlian began to doubt her original intention and whether she should return to the days of the first round.

[What the hell is wrong with me…]

Manren looked at himself in the mirror somewhat confusedly. The black-haired, bespectacled boy seemed to be getting further and further away from the boy in his memory named Hiden Manren, the boy who could transform into Kamen Rider 01.

Wait! Kamen Rider 01!

"Wait! Since the development trajectory of the second world is similar to that of the first world under the control of the world's will, who is Kamen Rider 01 beside Shiori?!"

Thinking of this, Zhenlian discovered another unknown place. Zhenlian immediately asked Kuang San about the situation anxiously. As the spirit who had been observing them, there was no reason for Kuang San not to know.

"Ah, Mr. Manre finally found it." Kurumi seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and showed a slightly naughty smile, "Mr. Manre was not wrong. There is indeed a Kamen Rider who has been protecting Miss Shiori and the elves on behalf of Mr. Manre in the first world. And the intimacy between him and Miss Shiori is even greater than that of Mr. Manre."

【really! 】

A vein suddenly popped out on Manren's forehead. Although he kept telling himself that the man did not mean it, when he thought about an unknown man having close contact with Shiori, for some reason Manren couldn't control his soaring blood pressure and burning anger.

Restraining her anger, Zhen Lian forced a very kind expression and said, "I still feel it is necessary to check how Shiori and the others are doing now."

"I won't stop Mr. Zhenlian. But with the interference of the world's will, can you really get through it on your own?"

"I still have you. Anyway, I am just an ordinary person now."

“Ordinary people…”

Hearing this, Kuang San's pink lips moved slightly and she repeated the word several times.

Now Manren has the playful personality of Hiden Manren and the easy-to-play body of Hanyu Manren. Looking at Manren rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for something, Kurumi seems to think that it is not a bad idea to take him away as her own exclusive toy.

But compared to this, Kurumi still noticed what was in Shinren's hand - a big wrench.

"Mr. Zhenlian, excuse me, what is this?"

"This is a mysterious tool that I'll use when I meet that person later~"

Although Manren's face was filled with the bright smile that only a sunny boy could muster, Kurumi could still feel Manren's deep resentment.

"Mr. Manren is really childish sometimes." Kuang San shook her head helplessly and stepped lightly. Her shadow immediately spread to Manren's feet.

"Wait, I'm not ready yet..."

Before Zhenlian could utter the word "OK", she was immediately pulled down by countless hands in Kurumi's shadow.
