Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

"I see... I'm glad you were able to find other meanings. If that's what you want, I'll do whatever it takes to help you."

"Thank you, Zea."

"After all, after Fuwa and Blade died, you are my only child."

I have a plane to catch today, so I don't have much time to write, so I'll post it now.

Chapter 16 The Meaning of Living

boom--!

If you stand at the high altitude of the Arctic, you can clearly see the iceberg being smashed by an invisible hammer, with water mist and ice debris raising a puff of white smoke. The huge iceberg fell into the Arctic Ocean, raising a thousand-foot-high water column. This scene is as spectacular as the world's largest blue whale emerging from the water.

But Mie was in no mood to appreciate this amazing scene. The reason was simple, because Yixing was right in front of her, and next to her head was Yixing's fist.

Just now, Mie dodged the flashing fist of Type I Steel Locust at the critical moment, and the iceberg that had just been knocked away naturally became the victim of Mie's dodged fist.

"You can barely dodge the Steel Locust's flashing fist. That's quite an improvement, Scorpion. It seems my judgment is still correct." Type I took out the Rock Locust Key from his belt and turned back into his hero.

Mie Xin pressed his chest, which was rising and falling, with lingering fear, and said, "What would have happened if I hadn't dodged it just now?"

"Of course he's dead. If his entire head was blown off, even with the power of the Fire Spirit, he can't be saved, right?"

Seeing Qixiong say such incredible words so casually, Mie couldn't help but wonder if this guy really had no feelings at all? After so many years of training, Mie had deep feelings for him.

"It looks like you'll be able to go out on a mission soon, Scorpion. Please be sure to abide by the agreement then." Qixiong said as if he was chatting after dinner while he took the briefcase and struck Zhemie with a heavy blow.

Mie instinctively took out his briefcase to block the attack, and continued with Qixiong's words: "Are you referring to the promise to kill you? I'm sorry, but I will let you off the hook."

"Why?" Qixiong said as he kicked Mie in the chin.

"Because I already have feelings for you. It's that simple." Mie also easily blocked Qixiong's kick. The current Mie is no longer the little girl who was beaten by Qixiong with one hand even after transforming.

"Okay. We understand." Qixiong exerted force with his feet and took a step back to create some distance between himself and Mie, but even with the force from his feet, Mie did not move at all.

"You agreed?"

Mie was a little surprised by Qixiong's almost calm reaction to her breaking of the appointment. Although in Mie's cognition, Qixiong was not a man who would have emotional fluctuations, but Mie did not think that Qixiong's obsession with death would be responded to in this way.

"I suddenly don't want to die anymore, it's that simple."

Qixiong sat down against the iceberg and threw the briefcase sword at Mie to launch a surprise attack. Mie dodged sideways and grabbed the briefcase sword, then sat next to Qixiong: "It's really a wonder. The man who always talks about 'burial place' actually doesn't want to die. There was a time before when Ark and Zea landed in different places. What happened?"

Qixiong stuffed ice cubes into his mouth like Zamigo, looked at the calm sea and said, "I came to a place called Tiangong City with Zea before. Although the time was not long, I saw a lot of things I had never seen before. I feel that life has more or less become meaningful."

When he came to Tiangong City, Qixiong was entangled by a little blue-haired girl who called herself "the witch in black". Qixiong had no ill will towards humans, so he still fulfilled the child's wish and took her to quickly shuttle between the high-rise buildings in the city like the heroes of Marvel and DC. As a reward, the little girl took him to eat donuts. To be honest, Qixiong liked the taste that he had never tried before.

When Fuwa and Ren died, Qixiong thought about whether it was the best choice to commit suicide immediately. However, the words "live on" they said before they died became both a blessing and a curse for Qixiong to live. It also made Qixiong a weirdo who wanted to avoid suicide, became stronger, and yet was always looking for death.

This is why Qixiong, who is so strong, has not yet completely slaughtered the Ark camp. Because if he wipes out the Ark camp, he may completely lose the motivation and reason to live, and he cannot guarantee that he can still abide by the agreement with Fuwa and Ren.

Perhaps this kind of living like a walking corpse has no meaning at all, but perhaps in the eyes of Fuwa and Ren, Qixiong's living like this is meaningful in itself.

But whether it is Mie's "Teach me to become stronger" or the "Black Witch"'s "Let's eat donuts together next time", they have become the meaning of their survival.

Compared to the empty meaning of "loving Sonomiya Maori", these reasons that keep Qixiong alive may be ridiculous, but some people will give up suicide because the last dinner was delicious or because their friends invited them to drink.

Because whether it's humans or quasi-elves, they are all funny creatures, aren't they?

"Hiss..." Mie took a slight breath. Her arm had just been chopped by Qixiong, leaving a huge wound. Originally, there was no need to use the spiritual power of the Fire Spirit, so she did not open her mouth, but the wound was still very painful.

blah blah...

Qixiong tore off his clothes without hesitation and used them as bandages to bandage the wound on Mie's arm. Mie looked at the bandage on his arm and smiled, "I didn't expect you to care about my safety, even though you usually beat me to death."

"Because you make my life meaningful."

"Say...what are you talking about. It's so embarrassing..." Looking at the wooden head in front of him staring at his eyes and saying such disgusting words, Mie turned his head away with a flushed cheek.

Perhaps it was a malicious joke from God. The space above the glacier where the two were standing began to twist towards a point, and then...

boom--!

A deafening explosion sounded, and the violent noise hit the eardrums of the two men frantically. The huge wind pressure that was subsequently generated shot the ice debris on the ground towards Qixiong and Mie like fragments from a fragmentation grenade.

Mie hurriedly used his hands to protect vulnerable parts such as his chest, abdomen, and head, while Qixiong stood motionlessly observing the people, or rather creatures, in the big pit after the space earthquake.

The "creature" in the pit was a knight, like the one in the RPG game, the knight of the King's Guard, covered in silver-white armor, with wings on its back, chains wrapped around its body, and an extremely exaggerated spiral gun in its hand. And if you look closely, there are a lot of ice slags around it, like small ice particles orbiting a star, but it is not because of the other party's ability to manipulate ice, but because there is an invisible airflow around it, which drives the ice slag on the ground to rotate around it.

"Is it the same type as the runaway fire spirit I encountered earlier?"

As soon as Qixiong finished speaking, the Hurricane Knight threw out the huge spiral gun, which directly hit Qixiong's body, causing him to fly hundreds of meters away and crash through one iceberg after another.

"Qi Xiong!" Metsu pulled the lever of the forced sublimator and transformed into Kamen Rider Metsu, pulling the briefcase slashing bow and firing energy arrows at Hurricane Knight.

However, the strong storm deflected every arrow shot by Mie. The opponent raised his palm and pushed towards her hard. An invisible and extremely fast air cannon hit Mie!

Mie, who noticed the opponent's action, immediately jumped away from his original position, and the next second, the iceberg behind Mie was directly hit by the air cannon, creating a big hole. Mie could clearly see the scenery behind the iceberg through the hole.

However, instead of marveling at the power, Mie was more concerned about her right foot - she did not completely avoid the Hurricane Knight's attack just now, her foot was hit, her armor was completely shattered, and countless knife-like wounds appeared on her calf.

Now we need to test whether the Hurricane Knights' defense is 360 degrees without any blind spots.

"Poison!"

Mie inserted the Stinging Scorpion Key from the Forced Sublimator into the briefcase bow, and then aimed at the Hurricane Knight.

"Sting Kaban Shoot!"

Mie loosened his hand that was tightly holding the lever, and the purple energy arrow turned into countless scorpion-tail-shaped energy arrows the moment it was fired, bypassing the Hurricane Knight and hitting its back.

The Hurricane Knight turned around and used a wind wall to defend himself. Several energy arrows did not hurt the Hurricane Knight at all.

[At least we can have a general understanding of the lack of defense behind it. ]

Mie put down the briefcase bow and picked up the briefcase musket instead, and inserted the key of the amazing long-horned beetle into the kill slot of the briefcase musket.

"Ahhh!" Mie roared, rushed towards Hurricane Knight quickly, then turned his back and jumped up, frantically pulling the trigger of the briefcase musket in the opposite direction of Hurricane Knight.

"Amazing Kaban Shot! Amazing Kaban Shot! Amazing Kaban Shot!"

The huge reaction force gave Mie a speed that even the Hurricane Knight could not react to, so he could only hastily open the wind wall for defense. However, Mie did not stop and crashed into the wind wall with his body.

The reaction force of the briefcase musket and the repulsive force of the wind wall formed a double-sided pincer attack on Mie. The two opposite forces sandwiched Mie in the middle, constantly trying to crush Mie into a meat patty.

Even so, Mie continued to pull the trigger, increasing the firepower of the briefcase musket. After all, after so many years of training, it is hard to say whether she has become stronger, but at least her ability to withstand attacks has been improved to the extreme!

"Compared with Qixiong's fist, it doesn't hurt at all ah ah ah!" Mie shouted and pulled the trigger again. This time, cracks appeared in the Hurricane Knight's wind wall.

"Aaaaahhh!" Mie used her body to break through Hurricane Knight's wind wall and turned around, but what she was about to face was Hurricane Knight's air cannon.

"be cheated!"

Suddenly, Hurricane Knight fell into stiffness, and the Stinging Needle Unit of Destruction broke through the ice behind Hurricane Knight and pierced its back directly.

Since the opponent is an elf, as long as we inject spiritual power that can disrupt the flow of spiritual power into it, it can be silenced for a short time.

"Destroy it! Purgatory annihilation!"

"Sting Dsytopia!"

After pulling the belt lever once, the recovered sting unit wrapped around Mie's right leg and kicked the Hurricane Knight's body, knocking him to the ground.

"Huh... It seems that I have really become stronger..." Mie said with lingering fear. However, she did not expect that now as a quasi-elf, she could actually defeat the elves. She has indeed become stronger!

But the next second, a loud noise came from behind Mie. Mie turned his head stiffly, and the Hurricane Knight stood up again and raised his fist wrapped in chains high towards Mie!

dead.

At that moment, this word popped up in Mie's mind.

"Rocking The End!"

"The end of the steel locust."

A blue figure quickly came in front of Mie and kicked the Hurricane Knight who raised his fist away. In Mie's eyes, the red photons erupting from Ichizo's neck drew an extremely beautiful red "scarf" in the air.

Mie, who was stunned by the picture-perfect scene, finally realized that Qixiong had come to save her.

Type I looked at the twitching Hurricane Knight and stroked his chin, "It's really tough. It looks like it's not on the same level as the Fire Spirit we met before. Scorpion, give me your key."

"OK, all right."

Although he didn't know what Yixing was going to do, Mie still obediently handed over his stinging poisonous scorpion to him.

"Jump!"

"Cyclone rise! Rising Hopper!"

"Poison!"

"Cyclone rise! Sting Scorpion!"

With the dual keys of sublimation locust and stinging scorpion, Type 1 is equipped with fluorescent yellow combat boots and a stinging unit.

"Double key?"

Type I ignored Mie's shock and pulled the lever of the cyclone sublimator three times.

"Sting The Finish!"

"Rider Finish!"

The legs and stinger unit of Type-1 emitted fluorescent yellow and purple light respectively, and the legs turned into the shape of locust legs. After the strength of the legs was strengthened, Type-1 jumped high, and wrapped the stinger unit around its legs just like the Purgatory Annihilation of Destruction, and kicked Hurricane Knight directly, and even cracks appeared on the ice under the Hurricane Knight.

With Hurricane Knight's body as the center line, the entire glacier was kicked in half! And Hurricane Knight also fell into the glacier gap that looked like a canyon.

[So strong... They are totally not in the same league...]

Mie looked at Yixing who defeated Hurricane Knight, and felt extremely shocked and regretful. She had heard Qixiong say that he was about to start his apprenticeship, and she had always thought that she had the strength to fight Qixiong, but the reality was not like that.

[It seems that I am only qualified as prey? But it doesn't matter, I will try my best to make you look at me! ]

Looking at the powerful man, the girl made a decision secretly.

postscript

This time they arrived in Dawn City. Mie looked at herself in the mirror. The clothes that Qixiong had torn off to use as bandages for her last time were now cut into a headscarf and worn on her head.

"So tacky..." Mie looked at the brown headscarf on her head and wondered in her heart why Qixiong didn't choose clothes in a more lively color. However, this headscarf was more commemorative than decorative, so Mie didn't dislike it.

"Hey, looking at the expression on your face when you look in the mirror, are you in love?" Lei, who appeared out of nowhere, suddenly joked.

"No...no!"

Mie explained in a panic, but Lei still had that "I know, I know" expression, so Mie was too lazy to explain. However, since she met Qixiong, her life has changed a lot. After gaining power, Bai can no longer bully her sisters. Even Lei has become much stronger over the years - both in terms of combat power and chest size.

The only thing he needs to worry about is Wang, who still has no freedom, and Xun, who is still relatively weak. However, Mie believes that it is only a matter of time before the two of them can also gain freedom and happiness.

Wuwuwu——!

Suddenly, a burst of rapid space earthquake alarms sounded, and Mie knew it was a sign of war between Ark and Zea. Unlike Ark, who didn't care about the lives of humans, Zea seemed to have a natural liking for humans. If a war broke out in the city, Zea would definitely release a certain amount of spiritual power to cause a space earthquake alarm and wait for everyone to hide in the underground shelter before fighting.

"Oh, I was going to continue looking for Qixiong. I guess I have to take a day off today." Mie had just laid down, and suddenly stood up again. At this moment, a strange idea came into her mind.

Why shouldn't Mie take the head of the defeated this time? According to Qixiong's character, he would definitely let the defeated go, but considering what the old woman had done to them before, Mie felt that the idiom "death is not worth regretting" was the most appropriate to describe her.

It was night, but the deserted Dawn City was not quiet at all - the fire lit up the entire sky, many buildings were in ruins, and the AST members who were accidentally injured fell to the ground and kept groaning in pain. However, Mie was in no mood to sympathize with these guys, and instead hurried towards the main battlefield.

However, the next scene made Mie completely stunned. What Mie saw was not some supernatural scene like Bai defeating Qixiong, but everything was just as Mie expected. Qixiong was the only one left on the battlefield, and Bai was either beaten away or chased away.

However, the scene that should have been so normal now had a person who shouldn't be here - Qixiong was holding a girl with long blue hair and a four-leaf clover hair accessory in a princess hug. The girl also hugged Qixiong's neck with a shy blush on her face.

Mie just felt her head buzzing and she didn't want to think about anything. She just wanted to escape from this sad place as quickly as possible, like a stray dog, and get as far away from Qixiong and the girl as possible.

[Obviously, that guy and I are just a simple teacher-student relationship, just a teacher-student relationship! Why... why do I feel so uncomfortable! ]

Mie ran back to Ark's base, and Lei, who saw her, was surprised and said, "Mie... are you crying?"

"Did I cry?" Only then did Mie realize that two hot tears had flowed from his eyes. The hot tears flowed down his cheeks and into his lips, very salty and bitter.

"What's wrong with me..." Mie covered her head. She felt her mind was in a mess. No matter whether she opened her eyes or closed them, Qixiong's icy face would always appear in her mind, and then the scene of Qixiong hugging the strange girl would follow.

As soon as that scene appeared, Mie's heart felt a pain, as if it was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.

But even so, Mie still noticed that Wang was missing! And Ark was missing too!

Mie's first reaction was - Qi Xiong is in danger!
