Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

No matter where we are apart, I will always be there for you

Use the power that can transcend distance and time

If we use the overlapping bonds

Can hug tightly now

It will definitely lead to a bright future.

I'm missing you (Wo oh oh)

Missing you（Wo oh oh）……”

I never expected that Manren didn't make the same sound as Shiori, like the wriggling of a sea cucumber. Although her voice was a little hoarse, it was an evolutionary progress compared to the previous hymns to the Old Ones.

"I'll be with you! I promise you! More intensely, more strongly!" When the song ended, Zhenlian, who didn't know how to sing correctly, breathed a sigh of relief. After wiping the sweat dripping from her forehead, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have much musical talent. After learning from Miku for so long, there is only one song that I can barely listen to."

Manren knew that his musical ability could only be described as a disaster, so when he was practicing singing with Miku, he also asked Miku, an idol, for a lot of advice. From the end of the Ten'ou Festival to now, the only song he sang reasonably well was "Promise".

After thinking about how she could finish singing the song well, Miku burst into tears, hugged Zhenlian and rubbed her tears and snot on the new clothes he bought for 10,000 yen, saying meaningless lines such as "Mom is so relieved".

However, Shizhi said nothing, but a crystal teardrop flowed from the corner of his eye. Shizhi didn't know why he was crying. Obviously, Zhenlian's singing voice was just barely audible, but far from moving. Perhaps this is what is called "don't care about the form, feel it with your heart."

"Eh? There's no need for you to cry even though my singing is terrible, right?"

"No..." Shiori wiped his tears and smiled sweetly, "Mare-kun's singing is very infectious. I am very moved."

After hearing Shiori's comments, Shinren's face first turned red, and then her face fell: "So you didn't deny that my songs are bad, right?"

"Hey~?"

At 6pm, it was dinner time. Just like a high-end restaurant, the table was filled with many high-end dishes that you wouldn't normally eat.

"Marian, come here, open your mouth. Ah——" Shiori smiled and used a fork to put a piece of beef to Morian's mouth.

This piece of beef is high-grade Wagyu beef, grilled to perfection. The juices of the beef burst in your mouth with just a light bite.

[So depressing...]

However, Zhenlian felt that the food was tasteless and had no flavor at all.

"Manne, it's your turn to feed me!" Looking at Manne who was chewing food like a machine, Shiori waved his hand in front of him in dissatisfaction.

"Oh oh oh oh!" After swallowing the meat paste in her mouth, Zhenlian put a meatball soaked in soup into Shizhi's mouth. Shizhi closed his eyes and slightly opened his mouth like a little bird waiting to be fed, and took the food brought by Zhenlian.

If you ask Shinrei if he wants to date Shiori, he will definitely answer without hesitation, "Yes, I really do." After all, Shiori is such an excellent, kind, and strong girl. However, Shinrei now feels that there is always a knot in his heart that prevents him from enjoying this date.

Looking at the surveillance video above, Zhen Lian finally realized what was going on.

Yes, why?

If Mane and Shiori were just ordinary students, it would be impossible for them to sit in front of a table full of high-end dishes and go on an ordinary date, nor would it be possible for them to book an entire high-end swimming pool in winter to simulate summer.

Although she seems to be taking advantage of the situation, Zhenlian seems to like the experience of dating a girl in the same class in the first year of high school more.

I kept apologizing to the bosses of the three jobs I worked at in order to find time; I lived frugally just to be able to buy two tickets to the amusement park; I checked my clothes and necessary items again and again before going out.

This tension, this fear that if I take a wrong step, I might lose everything. Maybe it's youth?

Maybe it was this noble banquet hall that made Shinren feel out of place, or maybe it was the feeling of being watched by Ratatosk that made Shinren feel depressed?

[Yes, this is a date between Shiori and I. It should have been the worst and best date. Today, let me do something crazy!]

"Marei-kun, you're distracted again!"

Looking at Shiori who was full of resentment, Zhenlian seemed to have made up her mind: "I'm sorry, Shiori. Today's date shouldn't be so perfect. Forgive me. Let me be willful for once."

"Eh?" Shiori, who had always been able to handle things with ease, now had a puzzled expression on his face.

Zhenlian picked up a bottle of Dom Perignon on the table that was used for decoration and opened the bottle cap.

"Zhenlian-kun, that's wine..."

Then put your mouth directly to the mouth of the bottle and blow it all in one breath!

After drinking a whole bottle of wine, Manren burped and showed the same facial expression as Jonouchi: "Complete★Resurrection★! Perfect Hiden Manren-sama daze!"

Before Shiori could react, Shinrei took off her tuxedo and unbuttoned the buttons at her neck to cool down. Shiori remembered that if Shinrei got drunk, she would turn into a kissing maniac.

Just when Shiori remembered that Shinrei had such a setting, Shinrei had already hugged Shiori and pressed his lips against hers, and their tongues were constantly entangled.

Now Zhenlian is kissing Shiori just like Shiori kissed him before, and this moment is exactly the same as that moment.

The kiss between the two lasted for more than twenty seconds. With a popping sound, their lips separated, but the crystal clear saliva still connected them.

After looking at the surveillance camera, the drunken Manren arrogantly gave a middle finger and picked up Shiori in an ungentlemanly manner: "I'm taking Gokawa Shiori away! Goodbye! 凸(￣▽￣)凸"

Then he pushed open the window like an iron-headed kid and walked away carrying the confused Shiori.

The area under the Tiangong Bridge is spacious, the river under the Tiangong Bridge is clear, and there are traces of where Zhenlian once lived under the Tiangong Bridge.

Shizhi sat on a tree stump by the river. In order to make it easier to run, she tore her beautiful long dress into a short skirt. The December night was very cold, but in front of Shizhi there was a small fire made of branches and weeds, and next to the fire were fish skewered with washed branches.

Although the environment here is bad, Shiori felt inexplicably relaxed. Maybe the previous date was not what Shinrei wanted, or maybe Shinrei noticed that the previous date was not what Shiori wanted, or maybe it was both.

"Take it if you don't want to freeze to death!"

Shinren, who had just collected some warm things, threw a stack of old newspapers to Shiori. Maybe it was because she had just drunk some alcohol, but Shinren's words were much more poisonous than usual.

"Thank you." After thanking him, Shizhi covered his thighs exposed to the cold air with newspaper.

Since they had not eaten much just now, these small fish caught from the river would be their dinner tonight.

Shinren ate the fish with big mouthfuls, enjoying it very much, while Shiori also tasted the fish meat carefully to avoid being pricked by fish bones.

[Is this the life of Zhenlianjun before? ]

When Shiori was lamenting about how difficult it was for Zhenlian, Zhenlian spoke without thinking: "Shiori... do you know why I was so angry when I found out that I was a personality derived from Qixiong?"

"I don't know. Why?" Shiori shook his head. Shiori had never asked Manren this question before, but every time Manren found various excuses to evade the question.

"Don't laugh after hearing this... Because I'm very scared. I'm afraid that I, an outsider, will disappear. When I'm scared to the extreme, I become angry."

Zhenlian said slowly that this fear was different from the one she had when facing Hanyu. If she had to explain why, when facing Hanyu, Zhenlian had the composure of a "first comer", but when facing Qixiong, Zhenlian only had the cowardice of a "latecomer".

"Shiori, I care about you very much. I care about you very, very much. I can't even imagine what would happen if I left you..." As Manren said this, she lay on Shiori's thighs and cried softly.

"Yeah... I'm here. I promise you, just like you promised me, I will never leave you." Shiori gently stroked Manren's head, and under Shiori's comfort and the effect of alcohol, Manren began to snore.

"This is a bad ending for today's date, right? What do you think, Xiaozhi?" Just at this moment, Lingyin, who was watching from the side, came out.

"No, as long as I hear what Manre-kun said just now, everything I did today is meaningful." Shiori stroked Manre-kun's head with a smile, then turned to Reine, "Thank you very much, Reine. Thank you for helping me lie, so that I can have a date today."

The reason why Lingyin sent Zhenlian away last night was because she saw Shizhi winking at her. After Zhenlian left, Shizhi proposed that he wanted to pretend that he had not recovered and have an unforgettable date with Zhenlian.

"I think if you, Xiaozhi, invite Zhenlian directly, Zhenlian will not refuse."

"But in this case, Shinrei-kun won't speak his true feelings, right? After all, facing a 'runaway' me, Shinrei-kun will probably speak his true feelings, right?"

"Actually, Xiaozhi, you don't have to pretend like this."

"Eh? I think I played the bad girl very well."

"I know you are pretending. Your acting is terrible and you look like you are forced to do the job. And your face has been as red as a monkey's butt since this morning and it hasn't gone down at all." Zhenlian, who should have been asleep at this time, spoke.

"Mareya-kun, you fell asleep, didn't you?"

"Xiaozhi, what Zhenlian drank just now was a non-alcoholic carbonated drink."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've done so many embarrassing things!"

"Huhuhu..."

No matter how Shiori scolded Manren, Manren still pretended to snore.

postscript

Under the bridge of Tiangong City, at the river bank of Tiangong City, a fire was burning with crackling flames, and a blushing girl was angrily shaking the boy who was enjoying her lap, but the boy not only did not get up, but kept pretending to sleep.

At this time Ling Yin took out a pile of envelopes.

Lingyin: Xiaozhi, it’s really pitiful. This is the letter that Ratatosk received. Now is the time to read it and answer the questions above.

Manren (opens her eyes): Now it’s time.

Shiori (nods in agreement): Well, it's time.

Shiori, Mana (in unison): Postscript Q&A session!

——Kamen Rider Eden and Kamen Rider Abaddon——

Shiori: I have to say that the author dug a lot of holes in this chapter. For example, there was an insider in Ratatosk, and that person was the transformer of Kamen Rider Eden!

Shinrei: This character is the boss that will appear in the later theatrical version. But it is better not to watch it with the mentality of watching the Kamen Rider 01 theatrical version of Date A Live.

Shiori: If that's the case, then Abaddon's Locust Soldiers will also appear in the movie, right? But readers and I are curious, are Abaddon's Locust Soldiers humans or robots?

Zhenlian: Of course I have to choose a robot. After all, if a human were to transform, there would be more moral dilemmas. The author does not want to discuss this issue, and is too lazy to discuss it. It would be great to design them into robot soldiers, and destroy them all without feeling the slightest bit of guilt.

Shiori: After all, sometimes it is a good choice for creators not to take on ceramic work if they don't have the right skills. Isn't it good for everyone to read novels comfortably and easily? The original TV work of "Kamen Rider 01" was intended to write about the contradiction between humans and machines and the confrontation between races, but it ended up going too far.

Zhen Lian: In the future, please don't ask questions about the duality of gods and animals such as the conflict between elves and humans. After all, it is very stupid to discuss worldviews in ACGN works that are not for children. However, since this book does not claim to be an anti-hero work, the author will not disgust others in this regard, and everyone does not have to worry about whether they have mistakenly entered a membership-only restaurant.

Shiori (sweating): Manrei-kun, it's not good to play with the IMN meme. The next keyword.

——Combat Power——

Zhenlian: It is known that Death can completely defeat eight elves with limited spiritual equipment, and after transforming into Kamen Rider Thouser, Alan can beat the three knights of Death and Thunder. It is estimated that the two metal forms of Kamen Rider 01 are stronger than Alan. How does the author explain this?

Shiori: Wait! This can't be calculated like this! Kamen Rider's battles require a very high number of keys and abilities; and Allen's Thousand Hijackers limit is very high. The Suction Sword without any abilities and the Suction Sword with many abilities are completely two different weapons.

Zhenlian: How should I put it? Let's put aside the non-combat angel spirits, such as Kekekedi, Fengjiezhu or Fake Witch. Without other key assistance, the dual metal form > (slightly) Tianxiang ≈ Thouser Allen ≈ Kamen Rider Destruction Thunder > normal combat special spirits > Destruction, Death, Thunder, Thunder > limited spiritual combat spirits. But it's just a very rough reference. Whether it's a date or Kamen Rider, the combat power is subjective. If I'm subjective, maybe I can use the basic form to single-handedly kill the BOSS.

Shiori: I believe that friends who have read this will not argue about combat power. Let's look at the next keyword.

——Persecution of old aunt——

Zhenlian: A useless elf who can only hit people with books.

Shiori: A useless elf who can only throw books at people.

Lingyin: A useless elf who can only throw books at people.

Erya (crying): There’s no need to say it three times! Lianbao and Xiaozhizhi are fine, but why does Lingyin-chan have to get involved? It’s not her fault that Xiaoweiwei doesn’t have the ability to fight! QAQ

Zhenlian: Who said that? Could our great cartoonist please explain what happened to Nibelcol in the original work? You know, angels and demons are two sides of the same coin.

Erya (speechless): Oh my…

Shiori: And there is also the imprisonment skill of the Phantom Book House. Tachibana Company wrote in the short story that the Phantom Book House can be called out in the Whispering Chapter.

Erya (speechless, then exploded): Uh... In that case, before little Weiwei is taken away by Westcott, I will let Lianbao and Xiao Zhizhi know how powerful Eryasama is in advance!

(Turning over the confession volume)

Erya (surprised): Oh! I found something incredible! In a parallel future, Lianbao actually went to home plate with Xiaozhizhi and Lingyin every day, and finally made them both mothers! Lianbao's endurance is really amazing! He can eat mother-daughter rice bowl twice a day on average, and even more so, he can fight with the two of them until dawn! And there are pictures, just in the group li...

Shiori (blushing): Don't say that! Tyrannical prince!

Zhenlian (Angry): Shut up! (Hell Rising Impact!)

Lingyin (showing her spiritual attire, frowning): The Holy Temple of All Things!

Erya is dead, but this is a postscript that allows infinite resurrection, so please don't worry about it.

——Are Manaru and Shiori in a relationship? When will they go to home plate?——

Shiori (blushing): Manre-kun and I don't have that kind of relationship right now!

Manrei: This kind of relationship is basically understood by everyone in harem-themed works. Everyone has feelings for each other, and becoming lovers is just a step away. But the author will naturally not let Shiori and I officially confirm our relationship. As for going to home plate... According to the author, I will go to home plate with Shiori in the later stage, but when I think about the later plot of the original work, isn’t firing before the battle a proper flag behavior! ? As for other female characters, the author has not decided yet. After all, I am the original male protagonist, and I must be careful when going to home plate with other elves. If I am not careful, it will become a poisonous text like a minotaur.

Shiori (blushing): Go... go to home plate...

Zhenlian: It’s been a long time since then, maybe the author himself has forgotten it.

Shiori (dissatisfied): Sigh... Mainly because Manrei-kun never said clearly who he liked, and used ambiguous words like "important" and "care" to get by. Even if Manrei-kun tries to make himself look different, he is still the male protagonist of the harem!

Zhen Lian (strange smile): It's obvious that you are the one who kissed almost everyone in this book, not me, right? So, the so-called harem is obviously Wang Shizhi's lily harem, and I am just a different color among the many lilies.

Shiori (angry): Zhenren-kun——!

Zhenlian (begging for mercy): Spare me, spare me... I don’t know why Lingyin has been staring at me since this keyword.
