Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

"Shiori, are you still awake? Let's go and look at the stars together. The starry sky is great tonight." Kamikaze also noticed Shiori, moved to make room, and invited Shiori to come over and enjoy the starry sky together.

Two girls sat side by side under the starry sky, one girl looked up at the stars, and the other girl looked at the former.

Kamika stared at the starry sky, her eyes sparkling like gemstones. Such a lovely girl first lost her parents, then lost her intact body, and finally even lost the person who saved her. When Shiori thought of this, he couldn't help himself.

"I'm... I'm sorry..." Shiori curled up, covered his face with his knees and began to sob.

"Shiori?" Faced with Shiori who suddenly cried, Kamikoyana was frightened at first and then began to comfort her, "I'm not angry about what happened today. I was also wrong in this matter. I was still so afraid of fire, but I still told Shiori that my phobia had been cured. So Shiori, there is no need to be sad about this!"

"sorry Sorry……"

She couldn't say it. She couldn't say that she had taken over Shiori's body in the second game. She couldn't say that she had used Kamikoichi as a substitute for Shinrei. Shiori couldn't say it at all. Now she could only express her apology to Kamikoichi in this way.

No matter what he said, Shiori still couldn't stop crying. Kamika finally spoke: "Well, in that case, I'll be a little greedy. Let's go on a date on Saturday! Meet at Amamiya Station."

"Yeah." Shiori nodded with tears in his eyes.

Because he stared at the screen for a long time, Shiori soon fell asleep due to exhaustion. Kamikami looked at Shiori who was resting his head on her thigh and smiled dotingly.

"The night sky is beautiful tonight."

Chapter 9 Origami and Shinren

"I'm Tobiichi Origami, please give me your guidance!"

The girl standing on the podium today introduced herself with a smile and then bowed deeply to everyone.

"What..." Shiori stared at Origami on the podium with his eyes wide open. With facial features as delicate as a work of art and hair as white as snow, Shiori was very sure that the "Origami Tobiichi" standing on the podium could not be a person with the same name.

Although there was a smile and the hair length was different, Shiori could still be sure and even certain that this person was the Tobiichi Origami in his memory.

As if the will of the world was at work, the long-haired Origami from the second round sat next to Shiori, just like in the first round, in the same position as before.

After class, Shiori ran to a less crowded place and called Kotori.

[Wait! What did you say? Devil transferred to your class? ]

"Yeah. That's right."

[Wait, wait! Isn't Devil a spirit with unknown identity? We don't even know what she looks like, how can you be sure that the transfer student is a Devil? ]

"Well..." Shiori didn't know how to explain the whole story and could only stammer and say, "Anyway, just trust me. I'll explain the details after school."

Hearing her sister's incoherent words, Qin Li on the other end of the phone could only sigh helplessly.

[I understand. Fraxinus will use detection to keep an eye on that transfer student. Tell me her name first.]

"Her name is Tobiichi Origami."

[Tobiichi Origami... Wait! Are you talking about AST's Tobiichi Origami? ]

"Have you recovered your memory, Kotori?"

[What are you talking about? How could I forget Tobiichi Origami, who fought with Tohka and the others so many times?]

"Is that so..." Shiori nodded. If the "world will" that Manren had guessed before really existed, then since Origami knew them in the first round, it would be understandable that the second round would be closer to the first round due to various coincidences.

From the subsequent communication, Shiori learned that Origami in this world was also active as AST's ace magician, but not long ago, she resigned from AST for unknown reasons.

The time of resignation coincided with the first appearance of Devil.

It seems that Kotori also noticed this and began to take Shiori's somewhat unreasonable request seriously.

[In short, leave the investigation to Fraxinus. This time is different from the past. Devil is a very dangerous inversion. Even Kamika's 001 is no match for her. Even if Kamika accompanies you, you must not easily come into contact with her. Do you understand? ]

"Yeah, I got it."

After class, even though the teacher's teaching style was not boring, Shiori could not hear a word he said, and his eyes were all focused on Origami who was concentrating on the class.

Now, Shiori is more concerned about why Origami, who has no reason to fight, joined AST, why Origami, a reversed elf, can integrate into society like ordinary people, and why she goes hunting elves?

There are too many question marks in Shiori's mind. Even just in case, Shiori still needs information about Origami in the second round.

So while the teacher wasn't paying attention, Shiori crumpled up a piece of paper that read "Please come to the school rooftop during lunch break" and threw it at Origami's desk.

--split line--

During lunch break, Origami asked in confusion, "Gokawa-san, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Although in the first round of the world, Shiori was protected by Zhenlian, and was basically in a safe situation when facing Origami's attack. However, facing such an ordinary Origami, Shiori felt a little bit subtle.

Since they were strangers to each other, it was somewhat difficult to start a conversation. However, when talking about the fire in Tiangong City five years ago, Origami's attitude changed significantly.

Although the young Origami did not see clearly that it was Shinrei who transformed into Kamen Rider 001 who saved her parents, she saw Shiori who witnessed Shinrei's death.

According to Origami's description, Shiori was not who he thought he was. He did not come to the second round world immediately after Shinren was pierced by the laser, but he knelt down on the spot.

Shiori's appearance at that time was truly the visual interpretation of the word "despair".

After shouting out Shinrei's name, Shiori seemed to have his soul taken away. When he knelt down, the sharp stone pierced his knees without any reaction. Just by looking at him, one could clearly feel that his heart was on the verge of collapse. Even when Origami as a child went up to comfort her, she didn't react at all, just like a corpse.

Hearing this, Shiori's heart began to feel bitter again. From the time he arrived in the world of the second round until now, Shiori still could not recall the details of that time and what happened afterwards. Now he could only rely on the memory fragments left by the self-protection mechanism of his brain to come to the uncertain conclusion that Zhenlian might be dead.

It was precisely because Shiori looked almost exactly like the desperate girl from five years ago that Origami seemed somewhat concerned.

Shiori also lied, saying that Shinrei and himself who went back to the past were his brother and sister. Therefore, Origami in this world joined AST and fought against the elves because of the desperate people who appeared in order to no longer be victims like Shiori's "brother" and "sister".

According to Origami, although Shinren saved Origami's parents, they died in a car accident a year later. When Shiori asked Origami why she became an elf, she was surprised to find that the white-haired girl in front of her didn't seem to know that she had become an elf, let alone the reversal.

At this time, the bell rang.

"Lunch break is over, so I'll be leaving first, Gokawa-san." After saying that, Origami and Shiori bowed and prepared to leave the rooftop.

"Wait, although this may be a little sudden, can we arrange a time to meet up this weekend?"

"Eh?"

Origami was a bit embarrassed by Shiori's invitation. Although it was normal to go out with a girl, Origami's weekend schedule was full and she couldn't spare the time to go out with Shiori.

"Okay. Let's make an appointment on Saturday then."

Origami said, then turned around and trotted away.

"Wait……"

Looking at Origami leaving, Shiori wanted to call her but it was too late.

[Oh no, Kamikami and I had an appointment to go out on Saturday...]

Shiori slapped his forehead in annoyance. Although Kamikoichi should be able to understand Shiori if he explained it well, but maybe it was because of Shiori's remaining consciousness in the second round, or because he felt guilty towards Kamikoichi, Shiori didn't want to see Kamikoichi disappointed.

However, Shiori was not the only one who was upset. In the classroom, Origami covered her head and let out a small cry: "What should I do? I clearly agreed with Lian-kun to go out together on Saturday. How can I agree to this time with Gokawa-san..."

Just when Shiori invited Origami, it seemed as if a voice kept echoing in her mind.

[This is a chance to be alone with Shiori, I can't refuse it no matter what. A date with Shiori is worth abandoning everything for, this is a natural law that can never be shaken! ]

"I can only hope that Rei-kun and Gokawa-san don't mind having one more person when they go out."

--split line--

After school, Shiori walked out of the teaching building. Coincidentally, Kamika, Tohka, and Yakuya Yui were all left to clean up. So today was a rare day for Shiori to go home alone.

At this time, Shizhi suddenly felt that there was no one around him, and a feeling of loneliness once again arose in his heart.

"I wonder what Manre-kun is doing right now..." Shiori muttered to himself.

However, in the next second, Shiori stopped and his eyes were focused on a certain point in the school gate.

The reason was simple. There was a young man standing there, and judging by his school uniform, he was probably not a student of Laizen High School.

Although the hair color changed from chestnut to black, the pupils changed from half blue and half purple to blue, and he also wore a pair of black-framed glasses.

"Marei-kun?"

Shizhi rubbed his eyes and looked at him carefully again. He knew that the facial features were so familiar that he had no doubt that he had not recognized the wrong person. That boy was the one he had been thinking about the most, Hiden Shinren!

[Mareon-kun...is that you? ]

Shiori's lips trembled a little, but it was not because of shock but because of joy. Although he had learned about the survival of Zhenlian through Kamikochika before, the more intuitive fact made Shiori more excited and happy than the description in words.

Shiori even forgot that the current Zhenlian might not be the Zhenlian she knew, just like Origami. Now she just wanted to run and hug the boy she thought about day and night.

"Lian Jun!"

However, Origami appeared in the field of vision and hugged Manren tightly. Both Manren and Origami had very happy expressions on their faces.

Shiori, who witnessed this scene, froze in place. She didn't know how long she stood there. She only knew that she watched Mayu and Origami keep walking forward until they disappeared below the horizon.

[I am such a fool...]

After a while, this was the only sentence left in Shizhi's confused mind.

Chapter 10 Rooftop

"Um……"

Shiori groaned and slowly opened his eyes.

After seeing Origami and Mayumi hugging each other, I went to the rooftop to get some fresh air because I was upset. Then I felt sleepy because I stayed up late last night reading information about Kamikaze on Fraxinus. Now it seems that I fell asleep accidentally.

"Oh no, what time is it now?" Shiori was about to take out the cell phone from his pocket when he found something wrong - he clearly felt a mass on his chest, as if something round was pressing on his chest.

When Shizhi lowered his head, a young girl's face appeared in his field of vision!

"Hehehe, I've been discovered."

"Wow! Kurumi, why are you resting your head on my chest?" After recognizing that the other person was the Girl of Time who sent him and Shinren to change history five years ago in the first act, the frightened Shiori's voice rose an octave.

"It's a rare good pillow, let me enjoy it for a while~"

Even though she was discovered by Shiori, Kurumi not only did not leave, but instead she kept burrowing into Shiori's arms like a lazy Persian cat burrowing into the quilt beside the fireplace in the villa.

"Don't play such a prank!" Shiori's face turned red immediately and he quickly pushed Kurumi away.

"Oh, what a pity. I was going to enjoy Miss Shiori's 'breast pillow' a little longer." After leaving Shiori's arms, Kurumi pretended to be aggrieved and said.

Shiori straightened his messy clothes, his face still red, "We don't provide this kind of unhealthy service here."

However, at this time Shiori noticed that the clothes that Kurumi was wearing were not the red and black spiritual clothes, but the school uniform of Raizen High School. This appearance was exactly the same as when Kurumi first met them.

Could it be that even Kuang San, the master of Kekekedi, could not avoid changes due to the changes in the world? Thinking of this, Shizhi could not help but feel an inexplicable sadness. In this familiar yet unfamiliar second round world, was he the only one who remembered what happened before?

"I didn't expect to meet Miss Shiori again from the first round. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Kuang San, could it be..."

"That's 'Mo Fei'." A smile appeared on Kurumi's face, "Whether it's Mr. Zhenlian's matter, or Miss Origami's matter of becoming an elf. I remember everything about the first generation world."

--split line--

"Oops!" On the way home, Origami suddenly let out a small exclamation.

Frightened by Origami's sudden reaction, Hanyu Shinren asked with some concern, "What's wrong, Origami?"

"I'm sorry, Lianjun. I think I lost my hairpin at school. I'll go back and get it now. Please wait for me."

After Origami apologized, she turned and ran towards Raizen High School. Seeing Origami leaving, Hanyu Shinren followed without a second thought. Hanyu Shinren knew the significance of the hairpin to Origami. Although it was just an ordinary hairpin, it was bought by Origami's deceased mother. Origami didn't want to lose it no matter what.

"Is it this one?"

Manren Hanyu found the hairpin that Origami had been wearing on the ground at the entrance of the rooftop, but at this moment Manren noticed Kurumi and Shiori on the rooftop.

[Gokawa...Gokawa Shiori? ]

When Yuzuru Mahiro saw Shiori, she felt dazed for a moment, and she knew exactly what this meant.

"I won't let you out...Hiden Manrei!"

At the same time, Yuzuru Shinrei used the last bit of consciousness he had left to bite the tip of his tongue. As the salty taste spread in his mouth, Yuzuru Shinrei's consciousness was pulled back again, preventing Hiden Shinrei from taking control of his body.

"Really? Thank you, Lian-jun!"

Seeing that Hanyu Shinrei had found the hairpin, Origami ran up the stairs in joy. Seeing Origami coming, Hanyu Shinrei hurriedly said, "You don't have to come over, I can just go down."

Although Hanyu Manren is quite repulsive to Hiden Manren, he still believes in the intuition from Hiden Manren. Although there is no reason, Hanyu Manren always feels that Origami cannot meet Kurumi and Shiori.

However, it was too late. Origami had already reached the top, and Shiori and Kurumi in spirit clothes behind Shinrei also fell into Origami's sight.

"That's Itsuka-san, and..."

In just that instant, Origami lost consciousness.

Suddenly, a strong airflow blasted out from Origami. The turbulent airflow mixed with black spiritual energy directly blasted Hanyu Shinrei, who was still an ordinary person, away, and he could only barely stand on the rooftop.
