Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

Such an exaggerated movement naturally attracted the attention of Shiori and Kurumi.

"Origami? And Manrei-kun!"

"Ah, it looks like there's a new guest."

Before Shiori could feel surprised by the newcomer, something strange had happened to Origami's body - the black spiritual power transformed into a black spiritual outfit that looked like mourning clothes, and the sharp black feathers fired countless jet-black lasers that directly smashed Kurumi into pieces!

"Origami...Kyousan...how could it be..."

Seeing Kurumi being beaten into pieces, Shiori looked at the elf-like Origami warily - as Shiori expected, the Origami in the second round was the reversed elf Devil who hunted elves.

Looking at the killed Kurumi and the still murderous Origami, Hanyu Mahiro's face was suddenly filled with horror.

If he was willing to take a closer look at Hiden Shinren and the world of the first round, Hanyu Shinren might not be so embarrassed.

But he didn't. The corpses and blood all over the ground made Hanyu Shinren feel nauseous and vomit.

But even so, an inexplicable force drove Shinren's body, and his feet, which had obviously been limp from fear, kicked hard at the ground. He tried to protect Shiori, and blocked the way between Shiori and the spirit Origami.

"Marei-kun?"

Looking at Manren who was blocking his way, Shiori involuntarily called out Hiden Manren's name again.

However, Origami did not attack them. After killing Kurumi, she collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut off, and her black spiritual outfit turned into particles and disappeared in the wind.

Seeing Origami return to her original state, Hanyu Manre immediately ran over to help her up. After confirming that Origami was only temporarily unconscious, Manre picked her up.

"Mare-kun...you should still remember me, right..."

Seeing Hanyu Manrei blocking Shiori before, Shiori's hope seemed to be rekindled. Maybe Hiden Manrei also kept the memory of the first round?

"I'm not the Shinrei you know." Hanyu Shinrei didn't turn around, and Shiori couldn't see his face. "I'm not Hiden Shinrei, I'm Hanyu Shinrei. I don't know you in this world."

"But you just said 'this world', right? You should know that Origami has just turned into an elf, and an inverted form. This is very dangerous. I have the ability to seal elves, and Origami needs my help!"

"No need!" Hanyu Manren said in a full voice, "No one, whether it's me or Origami, needs your help. You saw it just now, didn't you? Origami only attacks elves. As long as she doesn't have any contact with elves in the future, it will be fine."

"Mare-kun..."

"I already told you I don't know you!" Hanyu Mayu said this while biting her lip, then left the rooftop of the teaching building holding the origami without looking back.

Hanyu Manren is very scared. She is afraid that after having any contact with Shiori and the elves, she will completely lose her place to stay.

Hiden Manre is a hero, Hanyu Manre is not. Everyone wants Hiden Manre to come back, and no one cares whether Hanyu Manre will disappear alone.

Just imagining such a scene made his whole body tremble, so he had no choice but to run away.

Chapter 11 Happy Birthday

"Kuang San, are you there..."

After Hanyu Manren left with Origami in his arms, Shiori called out Kurumi's name into the shadows.

As the shadow spread, Kuang San walked out of the darkness. As expected by Shizhi, it was Kuang San's clone that was shattered by the spirit Origami. Kuang San had used this method many times before to avoid various fatal attacks, and this time was no exception.

"Ah, I didn't expect Miss Shiori to find me so quickly. I wanted to watch Miss Shiori cry because of my death."

"After all, this kind of thing has happened many times before."

Kurumi turned to where Origami and Hanyu Manre had left and sighed, "It seems that the method of reading memories with the Ten Bullet has failed."

Kurumi's Kekeketei is an angel with the ability to control time. Although his attack methods do not have the impact and destructive power of Aosakou and Annihilation Angel, there is no doubt that he has very buggy characteristics.

But even with such a powerful ability, it is still possible to hit the opponent, but this is not easy when facing Origami who is protected by countless black feathers.

Watching the setting sun gradually setting in the sky, Shiori's mood became as lost as the sun sinking into the horizon: "In the end, Origami still became a reversed elf, her parents also died unnatural deaths, and even the original Shinrei-kun can't come back. Why... why is it like this, did I do something wrong?"

"I don't think so. At least from Miss Origami's perspective." Kurumi leaned against the railing and looked at the sunset that Shiori was watching, "Because the past has been changed. Miss Origami only had one more year to spend with her parents, and this city was not ravaged by the elf-like Miss Origami. Although it's not the best ending, at least it's not as bad as the first round of the world, isn't it?"

"Perhaps...but..."

"As for whether Mr. Manren is right, I can't give you an answer." Kurumi said, and extended her hand to Shiori as if to invite him, "Let's go and see how Mr. Manren is living now? Maybe we can find the answer."

--split line--

After Origami regained consciousness and confirmed that nothing was wrong, Hanyu Shinrei sent her home. On the road that was illuminated by the setting sun and looked golden red, Hanyu Shinrei walked slowly forward.

But a cubic object caught Hanyu Shinren's eye and made him stop - it was a vending machine, a very ordinary vending machine that can be seen everywhere.

There are very few things that Yuzuru Shinji will buy from this kind of vending machine. Due to psychological reasons, the only things she will buy are mineral water or drinks that have almost no sweetness, such as oolong tea and bitter coffee.

【Try to drink it...】

Yuzuru Shinrei took out a coin and put it into the machine, and then a bottle of soda with a high sugar content rolled out from the delivery port. After a mental struggle, Yuzuru Shinrei finally plucked up the courage to pour the soda into his mouth.

"vomit--!"

Just like before, a sick feeling kept rising from his stomach, and the cloyingly sweet feeling was like paint mixed with a bag of sugar being brushed onto his tongue.

Coupled with the unique impact of carbon dioxide, Hanyu Shinren spit out the drink in a very embarrassing way.

"It still doesn't work..." Hanyu Manren wiped her mouth awkwardly and threw the remaining half of the soda into the trash can.

Arriving at the door of her house, Hanyu Shinren took out the key and opened the door.

"Huh? Why aren't the lights on? Is no one home?"

Looking at the dark room, Hanyu Shinrei was about to go in and turn on the light. However, in the next second...

"Happy Birthday!" X3

Suddenly bright lights filled the whole room, followed by a few bangs and streamers flying in the air.

Seeing her parents and origami holding the cake and the streamers, Hanyu Manren's first reaction was not surprise or expected, but confusion: "Birthday? Mine?"

"Lianjun, have you forgotten? Today is your birthday!" Seeing that Hanyu Zhenlian did not show the surprised expression as imagined, Origami pulled him into the house with some dissatisfaction.

"Yeah... today is my birthday."

Only then did Hanyu Manre remembered that two years ago today she had become a member of the Hanyu family, and this day was designated as Hanyu Manre's birthday.

Everyone celebrated for him on this day last year. Birthdays are the happiest days. How could he have forgotten?

[Hiden Manren...have you never celebrated your birthday? ]

Suddenly, Hanyu Shinrei felt two streams of warm liquid flowing down his cheeks. They were tears. Hanyu Shinrei felt this warm feeling every day, and it was not his first birthday. Why was Hanyu Shinrei moved to tears?

[Hiden Manren, you obviously like this feeling as well, and you obviously like it more than I do, but why do you...]

"Ren-jun, you are crying. Did I do something wrong?" Origami came forward, wiped away Hanyu Shinren's tears with her sleeve, and asked with her head tilted.

"No...nothing, I'm just too happy." Hanyu Marie wiped away the remaining tears and smiled.

"Well! Today's protagonist must not shed tears, so hurry up and blow out the candles!"

As the birthday song played, looking at the candles on the cake glowing in the dark, Hanyu Shinre closed her eyes and made a wish.

[My wish is to hope that...]

--split line--

"Is this the life of Zhenlian-kun now..."

In the shadow of Kurumi, Shiori felt complicated as he looked at the family filled with happiness.

The words that Zhenlian said to her when they were together before once again surfaced in Shiori's mind.

[Dad and Mom, which one do you like? Two sisters, which one do you like more? These things seem ordinary and even a little distressing, but they are experiences I can't get. ]

[Although I have a father, I have never even seen him, and I am not even sure if he exists. Family is something that is a little strange to me, but I also want it.]

[As a girl, you must have had the experience of having your mother or sister help you comb your hair, right? This kind of interaction between family members is really beautiful. I didn’t have a family before, so I longed for this kind of interaction. Even if this kind of interaction is exclusive to girls. ]

Kurumi appeared behind Shiori and asked, "How is it? Miss Shiori, have you found the answer?"

"Mane-kun...you're really happy now that you have a family." Shiori stared at Hanyu Mane and murmured.

"Perhaps... I am the bad guy because I ignored the true wishes of Zhenlian-kun just to make myself feel at ease."

Chapter 12 Instinct

As soon as Shizhi returned home, he saw the little commander wearing a black headband and holding a pearl in his mouth, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

"You should explain what's going on, right, sister?"

After saying that, Kotori stared at Shiori with dissatisfaction, making Shiori feel more or less uncomfortable.

However, it was expected that Kotori would feel unhappy. Whether standing from the perspective of Commander Fraxinus or from the perspective of Gokawa Shiori's sister, Kotori did not want Shiori to hide from her the existence of such a dangerous Devil.

There are only three people in the living room now, apart from the Gokawa sisters, there is a woman with heavy dark circles under her eyes.

"Lingyin...are you here too?"

"I'm here to record it, and I can leave if it makes you uncomfortable."

"No, I'm fine."

The Gokawa family, which usually has elves visiting, is particularly quiet today. Perhaps they also considered that it was not appropriate for Tohka and the others to know about this matter, so they arranged for them to wait in the elf apartment in advance.

In the next ten minutes, Shiori told Kotori and Reine what happened in the first round of the world, about Origami's transformation into an elf, reversal, and changes to the world. However, the only thing he changed was Shinrei from the original world to Kamikoika. After all, Shiori didn't want Kamikoika to know that she was no longer the original Shiori.

As long as he didn't say it out loud, there would be no chance of it being exposed. Shiori thought so in his heart.

"…Change the world?"

Although everything Shizhi just said was too surreal, since the helper was the time spirit with the Emperor of Kekeke, it was not completely impossible. And if everything was really as Shizhi said, then the series of strange behaviors that Shizhi had experienced before could be well explained.

"No..." Kotori discovered the blind spot in Shiori's previous story, "If that's true, then why did you look so strange when you saw Kamikoihana? What you just said doesn't explain it at all."

"This..." Shiori's forehead was sweating. She still underestimated Kotori's attention span and could only tell a lie. "Because the personality of Kamikoichi in the first round and Kamikoichi in the second round seems to be a little different, I was a little surprised. It's probably a distortion after the world line changed."

"Well... this is the only explanation." Kotori finally chose to believe her sister. Firstly, Kotori didn't think Shiori had any need to deceive her in this regard. Secondly, Kotori didn't understand the laws of world line changes. She could only analyze and understand it according to what Shiori, a visitor to the first world, said.

In addition, there is another question, which is why Origami in the second round world also became an elf, and even a reversed form, and she herself seems to be unaware of it.

"Can you tell me what I think?"

Just when the two were at a loss for words, Ling Yin, who had been silently recording on the terminal, spoke.

In response to Reine's words, Kotori nodded.

"Although it's just a hypothesis that lacks factual support, I hope it can be helpful for reference." Lingyin said, "According to Xiaozhi, in the second round of the world, only you and Kurumi still remember the events of the first round of the world line, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Shiori nodded, even though she had just lied and temporarily concealed the existence of Zhenlian.

“That’s where the question lies.”

"what?"

"Why do Kuang San and Xiao Zhi still remember the things in the original world line?" Ling Yin raised a finger, "If Kuang San can explain that she is the owner of the Angel of Time and is a special existence, then why do you remember it too, Xiao Zhi?"

"Ah." Hearing this, Shiori also fell into thought. It seems that he has never thought about this matter. Is it because he is one of the initiators of the opening of the world line, and thus becomes a special existence like Kurumi?

But it is obvious that Kurumi has the memory of the second world, which is completely different from Shiori who does not have the memory of the second world. In a sense, when the world line changes, Shiori not only changes Origami, but also changes himself. So why doesn't he have the memory of the second world like Origami?

"I'm afraid that retaining the memory of the original world requires certain conditions to be met."

"What are the specific conditions?"

"I don't know the details. After all, there are too few existing examples. How about we tentatively assume that the common points between you and Origami Tobiichi are 'having been hit by the Twelve Bullets' and 'having spiritual powers'?"

"This one……"

Shiori felt like his brain cells were not enough, while Kotori let out an "ah" and made an expression as if she had suddenly realized something.

"If these two conditions are met, the memory of the original world line will be restored. Then the moment Origami Tobiichi received the spiritual power from the Phantom, she restored the memory of the first world line."

After hearing Kotori's explanation, Shiori understood a little, but still felt something was wrong: "Wait a minute, if what Reine said is true, then 'retrieving the memory of the original world' means 'the memory of Origami in the reversed original world'?"

"As I just said, it's just a possibility. But based on this, a lot of things make sense."

"That's not right. But Origami is very ordinary now when she goes to school."

If what Reine said was true, Origami should be in the same situation as Shiori, then Origami should have immediately become an unconscious reversed elf and started wreaking havoc on Tengu City just like in the original world.

"...As expected, I still need to ask Kurumi for the details."

Unlike Shiori, whose life trajectory and personality are almost the same in the two world lines, Origami's personality in the two world lines is completely different. Putting a soul with completely different life experience and personality into your brain will inevitably have a serious impact on your brain.

It may be due to the self-protection mechanism of the human brain that this situation is divided into two personalities. When different personalities switch, there will be corresponding things to stimulate, which is the so-called personality switch. Just like when Kotori puts on a black hairband, she will switch to the black-bellied and sadistic commander personality. Under the stimulation of the personality switch of "seeing elves", the origami personality of the original world will appear, and its most obvious manifestation is the elf-like and the nameless hatred for elves.

"In other words, the personality switch that awakens Origami's memories of her original world is the existence of the elves, right?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Lingyin nodded, "But judging from her lack of reaction to Tohka, she won't attack someone who looks like an elf but has no signs of spiritual power. Her criterion for judging an elf is whether she can sense spiritual power from it."
