Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

As for the result, you can tell by looking at the forced smile on Shiori's face. Although everyone is very well behaved now, it feels a bit too well behaved, as if they want to be good children within 24 hours no matter what. The last time Shinri saw such enthusiasm was when Tonomachi was studying for the exam late at night.

Although everyone was behaving well, Shiori felt more tired than ever.

"Well, well, it's a good thing that everyone has become well-behaved. Shiori, you should take a little rest today. You've worked a lot since April." Seeing that Shiori seemed to not know what to do, Manren smiled and pushed her into the kotatsu.

"Actually, I feel a little uncomfortable being idle all of a sudden, haha..." Shiori sat on the kotatsu reluctantly, and the warm feeling immediately swept over her whole body, and Shiori felt numb all over.

Although Shiori had experienced the power of the kotatsu before, in April of this year, a series of messy and non-ordinary things such as elves, quasi-elves, and Kamen Rider broke into her life. This year was indeed much more tiring than any other year.

Melting into the warm "black hole of the kotatsu", Shiori seemed to have turned into a sticky rice cake, lying limply on the table of the kotatsu: "Mare-kun, remember to wake me up when you finish cooking~?"

"Ding dong!"

At this moment, the doorbell rang again. Zhenlian ran to the entrance and opened the door, and found Wang, Xun and Lei standing at the door.

Wang was dressed in all white, a white down jacket and white warm earmuffs. The user of the White Wolf Key wore the most, which made Zhen Lian feel a little funny. Compared with Wang who was dressed thickly, Xun was dressed very lightly, with a pink leather jacket and warm tight pants. Even in the winter when everyone was dressed thickly, she still showed her slender figure. And Lei was wearing a kimono today, which didn't match Christmas, a Western holiday. Although she was not as aggressive as she was on the battlefield, her scarred face still made it difficult for people not to associate her with the word "extreme". But looking at the cake in her hand, you could tell that she was not here to fight.

"Merry Christmas, Hiden."

"Merry Christmas, oh my goodness!"

"Merry Christmas, my goodness."

Shinren had heard from Kotori and Reine that the three of them would come to the Gokawa family to celebrate Christmas Eve and stay overnight. Kotori said that the CEO of Ratatosk had already begun trying to persuade other shareholders to give preferential treatment to the quasi-elves, and with the help of a shareholder who himself attached great importance to the quasi-elves, the matter was progressing in an orderly manner.

"Well, Merry Christmas. Please come in."

"Wow, what a beautiful house!" Xun's eyes lit up as soon as he ran into the Gokawa family. Although the Gokawa family was not a very wealthy middle-class family, the whole house was far from being big, but it was not Xun's fault, after all, she had always lived in a dark basement.

"Thank you for taking care of me, your brother." Wangze bowed politely to everyone, although Zhenlian wanted to complain that she had just become his sister last month.

"Long time no see, Reine, Kotori. Sorry for bothering you today." Lei greeted her former and current boss and colleague.

The elves were very active today, and with the help of the Dead Thunder, the Gokawa family's home was quickly decorated in Christmas style.

"Wake up, Shiori."

Shinrei squatted beside Shiori and gently brushed aside her silky blue hair. However, Shiori did not respond to Shinrei's words. Instead, he seemed to enjoy the touch of Shinrei's hand and rubbed it like a cat that felt itchy while sleeping: "Meow..."

Seeing Shiori like this, Zhen Lian couldn't help but feel amused: "If you don't get up, I'm going to scratch your chin."

"Whoosh..."

Looking at Shiori sleeping soundly, Manren looked at her with some doting - as expected, compared to herself who is not human, Shiori's ability to withstand stress might be even worse?

Putting aside the issue of saving elves, Shiori's daily life inevitably becomes busy due to the increase in the number of sealed elves.

[Forget it, just take a good rest today. ]

Zhenlian stood up and put on an apron. This Christmas would be the first time he would cook in a long time.

Fry the chicken, shrimp, onion, garlic and a few tomatoes until the juice comes out. Then add the shellfish and fry until half cooked. Finally, add the long rice and chicken broth and cook for fifteen minutes. Finally, add the prawns and shellfish. Finally, remove the lid and simmer for five minutes. The paella is best when the rice grains have absorbed the broth.

Since the breadcrumbs were sold out when Zhenlian went to the supermarket, Zhenlian rolled the chicken nuggets mixed with flour and egg in crushed potato chips, and finally put them in hot oil to make a unique Christmas fried chicken.

Mash the cooked potatoes into a paste, add boiled eggs, lettuce, cucumber, carrot, ham, and top it with salad dressing and Thousand Island dressing to make the Zhenlian special potato salad.

Pour the fried bacon, white mushrooms and onions into the pot, add cream and butter, stir-fry flour and water to cook into fragrant cream of mushroom soup. Finally, pour the soup into small bowls, cover the bowls with puff pastry, and after baking the mushroom soup in the oven, the puff pastry will swell up like a balloon.

Together with the various snacks bought from the supermarket and the big cake brought by Lei, a simple but fairly hearty Christmas dinner was ready.

"Guwu... What time is it now..." Shiori rubbed her eyes drowsily and stretched. She had to say that she had not slept so comfortably for a long time. However, when she saw the clock in the living room, her sleepiness disappeared immediately!

"Ah! Sorry, I'll cook right away... Eh?" Shiori was putting on an apron and running to the kitchen when he found a table full of delicious food. Shiori was stunned for a moment, "Santa Claus has been here?"

"Of course I did this. I'm much better than the guy who takes 364 days off a year." Zhenlian smiled proudly and made a fuss about Santa Claus.

Spanish paella, potato chips and fried chicken, mashed potato salad, cake, cream of mushroom soup and a variety of snacks. With such a sumptuous dinner, it is no wonder that Shizhi had an unrealistic fantasy that Santa Claus came and delivered a table of delicious food.

Although he knew that Zhenlian could cook, he didn't expect that Zhenlian's cooking skills could reach this level. Shizhi couldn't help but sigh. While sighing, he also felt a little relaxed and happy, just like a wife who has been a housewife for many years and can take a break because her husband rarely cooks.

[What husband and wife... I almost had delusions again...]

Shiori tapped her head slightly. Although she would be happy if she could really marry Zhenlian.

After dinner comes the much-anticipated party time.

Although when playing German Heart Attack, Shin and Ray started to compete again, causing the bell to be broken; when playing Twister, Miku touched her opponent; when playing the game of drawing blocks, because Shionna also wanted to draw a block, Shionna's face was covered with white paper strips. There were more or less embarrassing or blushing episodes in the middle, but overall, this Christmas party was still very enjoyable.

If there is any regret, both Mana and Shiori tried to contact Origami, but to no avail. But rather than simply feeling regret, it is better to say that they both felt that "something big is coming".

At around eleven o'clock, everyone was basically tired from playing, and one after another returned to their rooms yawning. Zhenlian also went back to her room to sleep, which was a rare occasion without staying up late.

"All right……"

A few hours later, Shiori, fully armed, slowly stood up.

The red and white furry outfit, long boots and a belt. A red and white hat on his head and a large bag in his hand.

Shiori pulled her rather short Santa Claus skirt and said to Kotori who was sitting opposite her: "Is there really a Santa Claus in the world who wears a miniskirt?"

"After all, the chances of Zhenlian falling asleep at this time are very low. Don't you think that Zhenlian being embarrassed by a sister like this is a great Christmas gift?"

Hearing Kotori's playful laughter, Shiori's face flushed slightly after hearing it: "Don't play a prank on Shinrei-kun."

"Just kidding, then let's go, my Santa Claus sister~?"

"Okay." Shiori carried the big cloth bag full of gifts and opened the door, then turned around and said to Kotori with a smile, "Merry Christmas, Kotori."

"Merry Christmas, sis."

--split line--

"Ah, sneeze... it's so cold..."

In a dark corner of the city, a Santa Claus dressed in a short skirt similar to Shiori was shivering in the cold wind and sneezed slightly.

Although Kuang San created many clones with the power of Eight Bullets, not every clone of Kuang San completely obeys the original. After all, every clone is Kuang San from a certain timeline in the past.

Therefore, Kuang San will give her clone a certain degree of freedom. After all, no one can guarantee that her current self will exist as a clone one day in the future.

However, during the discussion among the clones headed by the Four Heavenly Kings, they completely ignored the original's wishes and made her wear this somewhat sexy Santa Claus costume to give gifts to Shiori and Mayu.

However, just as Kurumi was on her way to the Gokawa family, a tall figure stopped her.

"You are..." The person who came was obviously a Kamen Rider. Kurumi's eyes widened when she saw the other's blood-red body.

"Finally found you..." After seeing Kuang San, the blood-red Kamen Rider stretched out his hand...

Chapter 13 True Love Christmas (Part )

"sorry for disturbance……"

After Shiori pressed the correct code on the password lock at the door of the Elf Apartment, he walked into the Elf Apartment quietly. Although everyone was basically asleep at this time, it still could not be ruled out that the Yamai sisters were still playing games or that Miku was messing around.

After confirming that no one else responded, Shiori breathed a sigh of relief, took off his Santa Claus leather boots, and stepped into the elevator of the Elf Apartment without even wearing slippers.

"The closest one should be Tohka."

Shiori went through the elves' living rooms in his mind. Tohka lived in room 410 on the fourth floor, apparently to commemorate April 10th when she met Shiori Makoto.

Taking the elevator to the fourth floor, Shiori arrived at the door of Room 410. Each bedroom in the Elf Apartment is equipped with an electronic lock, and the password is only known to the owner of the room. Although Tohka had planned to tell the password to Shinrei Shiori, Shinrei refused to tell Tohka the password of her boudoir on the grounds of "preventing me from turning into a beast for some messy reason and endangering your safety in the future."

Shiori also thought that Tohka needed her privacy and did not ask Tohka for the password.

Fortunately, today is an exception. In order to successfully get Santa Claus' gifts, all the rooms in the Elf Apartment are unlocked tonight.

Shiori grasped the door handle and carefully pushed open the door of Tohka's room, turned on the dim flashlight and carefully walked into Tohka's dark room.

[I look more like a thief than Santa Claus...]

Shizhi complained in his heart and continued to walk quietly through the living room to Shixiang's bedroom. In the bedroom, Shixiang was lying on the bed like a "big" character, sleeping soundly.

"The bananas are delicious, the peels don't seem to have been thrown into the trash can..."

Tohka's mouth was drooling, and she must have had a snack before going to bed. Tohka had said many times before that eating midnight snacks was bad for the stomach, but considering Tohka's stomach that was like a black hole, Shiori decided not to measure the elves by human standards.

However, what surprised Shiori was that Tohka actually stopped kicking the quilt.

Before the Elf Apartment was built, Tohka was temporarily living in the Gokawa family. Every time Shiori called Tohka to get up, he would see Tohka without a blanket. Therefore, when Tohka moved out, Shiori kept reminding her to pay attention to her sleeping posture.

Looking at Tohka's pillow, Shiori saw a folded note. According to Kotori's words "Santa Claus will listen to the ideas of good children", Tohka wrote down her wish on the note.

"I want to eat a giant hamburger steak that I've never seen before." Shiori read out Tohka's wish, and then couldn't help but laugh - it was really a wish that was very Tohka's style.

[I guess this must be Tohka's wish. ]

"You guessed it right."

[After all, only Tohka would make such a wish. I will send someone to prepare the materials for you now.]

Just as Kotori finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the room. When Shiori shone the flashlight at the other person, he was able to get a full glimpse of him.

"Lingyin? What's wrong with you wearing this..."

The person who came was Ling Yin, who was wearing a reindeer costume, a red ball on her nose, and had a sleepy expression on her face.

"It's Christmas after all, so dressing up like a reindeer isn't a bad thing. But that's not the point. I've prepared the ingredients for the hamburger steak."

"Then let's go to the kitchen." Although Shiori wanted to complain that since he could send Ratatosk employees to deliver things, why did he have to carry a full bag?

Although the entire Elf Apartment was built with the highest wisdom of mankind, its internal structure is no different from that of an ordinary house. The kitchen of the Elf Apartment is on the second floor. Shizhi walked up to the second floor carrying a bag of minced meat, eggs, onions and other ingredients, but saw the lights on the second floor at the stairs.

【Is anyone still awake? 】

This kind of thing is not too surprising. After all, there is a Kamen Rider in Gokawa's family who often comes to the kitchen in the middle of the night to replenish sugar. Judging from the situation, it is likely that the Yami sisters got hungry after playing games and ran to the kitchen for a midnight snack.

However, when Shizhi quietly stuck his head out, he was stunned by the scene before him!

The kitchen floor was full of minced meat, and standing next to the minced meat was a butcher holding a meat cleaver, with his upper body naked, an apron tied around his waist, and a terrifying mask on his face!

This hideous and terrifying appearance is comparable to the Pyramid Head in "Silent Hill".

"This..." Shizhi was so scared that he couldn't speak. The eyes of the butcher's mask were dark, and it was impossible to confirm whether he was staring at Shizhi.

"Xiaozhi, don't panic, escape quietly." Lingyin reminded quietly in Shizhi's ear.

"Yeah." Shiori resisted the urge to scream and quietly moved down the stairs to the third floor.

"Roar——!"

However, the butcher's roar made Shizhi immediately pull Lingyin up to the third floor. After confirming that the butcher had not caught up, Shizhi held his chest, which was carrying a pounding heart, with lingering fear.

[Sister, what happened to you? It's like seeing a ghost.]

Kotori, who didn't know what happened in the Elf Apartment, asked in confusion, while Shiori was so scared that he was out of breath: "There is... there is a monster in the kitchen of the Elf Apartment!"

[Monster? Sister, calm down. There are no monsters in the world. I will send someone to deal with it quietly and neatly. Just do your job as Santa Claus and don't alarm Tohka and the others.]

Although the structure of this elf apartment is difficult for people without the password to enter, there are always unexpected things. However, the butcher that Shiori saw was probably just a thief pretending to be a ghost to scare Shiori. If he is a thief, he will definitely be taken to the police station by Ratatosk.

Shizhi carefully came to the kitchen. Although the kitchen was a mess by the "butcher", fortunately nothing was stolen except a few bananas and a bottle of soda. However, as the thief's first destination was the kitchen instead of the bedroom or living room, Shizhi could not help but wonder if the thief was a non-mainstream person.

After frying the pizza-sized hamburger steak, Shiori carefully wrapped the steak with plastic wrap and opened the door of Tohka's bedroom.

"smell good……"

Tohka seemed to be attracted by the aroma of the hamburger patty. She sniffed and her stomach made a growling sound.

Putting the hamburger steak and silverware wrapped in plastic wrap into the Christmas stocking, Shiori quietly left Tohka's room, but the darkness did not let Shiori notice that there was an extra Christmas stocking in Tohka's room.

The next room is Room 405, which is Shion's room. Shion wants a cute hat, while Shionna wants a beautiful dress. However, Shionna's wish card also has a mischievous sentence "You can kiss Shion when she is asleep".

[It seems that Yoshina probably knows the identity of Santa Claus tonight. 】

Soon, the people from Ratatosk delivered a special hat and new clothes for Yoshino. Shiori stuffed them into Yoshino's Christmas stockings and was about to leave...

"it hurts!"

Suddenly, there was a sound outside the room. Although the decibel was not high, it was particularly clear in this quiet space.

"who is it……?"

Shizhi turned around tremblingly, but there was no one outside the door. Lingyin heard a clue: "It seems to be coming from the craft room."

Previously, Shion tried to make clothes for Shion herself, so Ratatosk arranged a lot of fabrics and sewing tools in the room at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor. However, since Shion was unwilling to take Shion off while she was doing her craft, the people who patronized this place were basically Nanashi who was making new clothes for Shion's puppets and the Yamai sisters who were having a sewing competition.

Shizhi walked towards the handicraft room in fear. The door of the handicraft room was a transparent glass door. When Shizhi shone the flashlight on the door, he clearly saw a big bloody handprint!

"Ouch!" Shiori covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming, and then said to himself as if to comfort himself, "This... this should be the dye..."

"It's one hundred percent pure blood."

"Ms. Lingyin, you don't actually need to correct me! QAQ"

But now he can only choose to believe Ratatosk. Although he is very scared, if there are really any monsters or ghosts, Shizhi can still rely on the angel to solve the problem.
