Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

However, when she saw Gao Cheng appear here again, and heard that Gao Cheng still supported her even after being treated coldly by her for many years, Erya felt really regretful and hoped very much that friendship could be restored again.

Looking at Shiori who was busy working in Honjo Hall, Niya suddenly felt as if there was a force behind her that kept her moving forward.

Looking at Shiori's encouraging smile, Niya left the stall and ran into the vast crowd.

"Teacher Takashiro——!"

Chapter 22: Excellent Works Influenced by "Commercial Reasons"

Running in Japanese dramas. Running is an almost inevitable plot in Japanese dramas and comics. Whether it is about family, love, friendship, or pure youth, the protagonists of the works run for their loved ones and their dreams at the most important moments in their lives. Running in Japanese dramas is a very flavorful way of expressing emotions. It is the crystallization of the Japanese people's recognition of running sports, and it is also a tragic product of sky-high taxi fares.

However, running in Japanese dramas is still based on the premise that the runner's physical strength can keep up.

“Haa…Haa…” Erya was breathing heavily rapidly before he ran out of everyone’s sight, half-squatting on the ground, looking like his stamina bar had run out.

"No, no... I'm going to die..."

Niya felt like her throat was on fire. It turned out that her otaku's physique was not suitable for watching Japanese dramas. She turned to the Ratatosk booth as if she had given up on herself, and asked for help without caring about Honjo Souji's image, "Lianbao! Can you carry me to Mr. Takagi?"

"You are such a loser that you still fail at such an important moment." Wu Zhenlian looked at Erya with disdain and said with all his might, "You are a dinosaur that degenerates three times a day. There is really no hope for you!"

"That's too much! Even though I know you're an evil girl, it's still too much! I'll really sit there and cry for you to see!"

Seeing Erya like this, Shan Zhenlian sighed, clasped his hands together and said to E Zhenlian: "I'm sorry, the other me. I still can't leave Erya alone. Can you share my task temporarily?"

"Three cups of snow mud king, go early and come back early."

"no problem!"

Agreeing to the reward offered by Ejin-Ryeon, Shan-Ryeon quickly jumped over the table and ran towards Erya. Erya smiled and opened his arms in a gesture of asking for a hug: "This is how a gentle male protagonist in the harem should be, Shan-Ryeon! Can I be carried like a princess?"

"I'm not a harem man..." Shan Zhenlian retorted slightly and took Erya with him.

The crowds and stalls in front of their eyes kept moving backwards quickly. Even though Shan Zhenlian looked weak in character, she was still Fei Dian Zhenlian, whose physical fitness was beyond ordinary people. It was not difficult for her to move quickly with Erya.

"Why..." Erya said sullenly on Shan Zhenlian's body, "Why are you still carrying me? Can't you just give me a princess hug and satisfy my girlish heart?"

"Don't move! This will affect your speed!"

--split line--

Takashiro, who was waiting for the train on the platform, stared at the train schedule and sighed - he had come here with the hope of reconciling with Niya, but in the end it was just his own wishful thinking.

Just as Gaocheng's train was about to arrive, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Teacher Takashiro——!"

"Teacher Honjo... Hey! What are you doing?" Gao Cheng turned around and saw Shan Zhenlian running towards him, and Niya who was carried on Shan Zhenlian's shoulders with his buttocks facing Gao Cheng.

Erya, who got off Shan Zhenlian's shoulder, scratched the back of his head shyly and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I haven't exercised for a long time. In order to catch up with Mr. Gao Cheng, I can only ask for help from outside."

Just when Erya wanted to thank Shan Zhenlian, he found that Shan Zhenlian had already avoided him in order not to be a light bulb, and was nowhere to be seen.

"Mr. Honjo?"

"That... this..." Looking at Gao Cheng's face, the lines he had been thinking about on the way disappeared like evaporating water, and Erya was like a student who was randomly checked for not memorizing the text well, and couldn't stammer a word.

"Teacher...Takashiro..."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Um, I...um..." Erya was a little incoherent, not knowing how to express his emotions. He had countless things to say, but in the end, he could only stammer out one sentence when he mustered up the courage, "Teacher Gaocheng...can we still be friends?"

Hearing what Erya said, Gao Cheng was stunned at first, and then she showed a happy smile under her thick glasses. She held Erya's hands and said, "Of course! Rather, I have always regarded Mr. Honjo as a good friend. Mr. Erya also regards me as a friend. I am really touched."

"That's great... now that I've said it..." Erya felt as if a huge rock in her heart had fallen to the ground smoothly. She half-crouched on the ground, her whole body relaxed. Big tears had already flowed from her eyes under her black-framed glasses - she had finally saved her friendship.

On the way back, Erya hugged Shan Zhenlian's arm. Being so close to Erya, Shan Zhenlian couldn't help but blush: "That... Erya, this is so embarrassing..."

“Hehehe, I’ve heard that Lianbao has a pure clone. An individual like Shan Lianbao who completely separates the pure and kind side of a person is simply an ideal existence!”

Facing Shan Jinlian, who absolutely had no dark side, Erya rubbed against him like a pervert, while Shan Jinlian looked embarrassed like a harassed high school girl.

"Now, Shan Lianbao, just stay and be my wife!"

"No! Absolutely not! The other me will definitely be angry!"

"Don't be so stingy~"

"This shouldn't be a question of being stingy or generous..."

"I'm just kidding. Compared to the submissive Good Lianbao and the absolutely evil Evil Lianbao, the original Lianbao is more challenging and has more possibilities."

"I'm so scared, please don't joke like that."

A few hours later

"Ratatosk, sold out!"

"Honjo Hall is sold out!"

Although there were some episodes such as being caught by a police sister, a gangster trying to tease a bunny girl but being killed by a red-haired bunny girl, and a gangster carrying the owner of the next stall around, all 5,000 doujinshis from Ratatosk were sold out very smoothly.

Even when the "Sold Out" signs were posted, there were still many customers queuing at both stalls. They were unable to buy the books and had to leave in disappointment.

"It's actually a draw, this is so two-dimensional..." The good and evil Zhenlian who turned back into the original Zhenlian couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the sold-out signs of the two stalls.

Since it was a tie, Erya didn't cheat and picked up the doujinshi that the two stalls had exchanged earlier: "In that case, let me take a good look at your works to see if they can impress an old 2D fan like me."

【! ! ! 】

After hearing what Niya said, Shiori and the elves cheered and hugged each other. Manren also made a V-sign to Niya to symbolize victory.

Nia came to the bench outside the venue and looked at the comics produced by Ratatosk and belonging to Shiori and others. At this time, Zhenlian sat next to Nia.

"You are such a pure person. If you like the second dimension, you will devote yourself to it wholeheartedly, even to the point where you no longer trust anyone from the third dimension." Zhenlian put his hands on the backrest of the bench and looked up at the sky. Although he really wanted to light a cigarette at this time to increase the feeling, his age only allowed him to use lollipops instead.

"What is this? The winner's ease?" Erya closed his eyes, with an expression that said "I lost to you." "Totally defeated. Completely lost to you, Lianbao."

"This is not just my credit. Shiori, Tohka, and especially Nanashi, they all worked very hard."

"It's great. With so many confidantes helping me, I'm just like the male protagonist in the second dimension." Erya opened his eyes, his smile more or less helpless, "Only the complicated Lianbao can gather everyone, right? I'm heartless and can't do it at all. It's better to hire them. I pay you money and you do as much work as you want. There won't be any intersection at all."

"I'm actually very curious. Why would you, who hates the dark side of people so much and is so pure, like the complicated Ryugo? Shouldn't someone as pure as Yoshimaru Kotetsu be more liked by you?"

"Because Ryugo didn't trust Zhu Luye at the beginning, he was always doubting the other party's good intentions. It's just like me." Erya took a long breath. She found her own shadow in the character of Ryugo at the beginning, and she also hoped that she could find "Zhu Luye" who could save herself like Ryugo.

However, the second dimension is the second dimension, and reality is reality.

"Ah? Didn't Ryugo sing a song of friendship in the end?"

“Anyone who tries to find realism in virtual works is mentally ill.”

"How cunning." Zhenlian smiled bitterly, "I like it because it feels real, but I'll just drop it when it comes to sensitive areas."

"What about you, Lianbao?" Erya looked at Zhenlian, "Why would you, who is so complicated, like Kotetsu?"

"Because he is pure, he is pure justice, an absolute hero. I like pure people, Shiori, Tohka and the others are all pure people. Of course, you are included too."

"Pure?" Hearing this word, Erya's face was somewhat gloomy. As a person with a history of confession, she absolutely believed that purity would never appear in real people. "Maybe the pure person you like, Lianbao, also has a dark corner that is unknown to others."

"So what? I have dark corners too, like browsing history and stuff..." Shinren said nonchalantly, "Everyone hopes that the person they like is perfect, but is that really the case? Just like your favorite Tokiyo x Ryugo, some of their plots were obtained at the expense of Kotetsu's weapons and overall look; my favorite Tokiyo x Kotetsu didn't have a sequel because it was unpopular. Everyone will have dark corners intentionally or unintentionally because of some things. Just like "Chrono Tale" will leave imperfect and blood pressure-raising plots for various commercial reasons, but we can still like this work, right?"

"Hahaha..." Hearing what Zhen Lian said, Erya laughed out loud, "It is undeniable that Tiger Volt and Tiger Burning Flame were taken away by other people, and there was even a plot where Ryugo and Zhu Luye released Tiger Lu's joint ultimate move together, which made me, a Long Lu fan, a little angry. As expected, I am not good at talking but I can't argue with Lian Bao. I will keep my promise. Let's see if your story can still be a masterpiece that I like after being affected by 'commercial reasons'."

Chapter 23 Desperate Countdown

Since Niya said that she wanted a quiet reading environment, Shinrei left tactfully. Looking at the cover of the doujinshi in her hand, which was based on the characters of Hiden Shinrei, Gokawa Shiori, and the elves, Niya couldn't help but admire it slightly - although the lines were a little rough, it was obvious that it had surpassed the level of an amateur and even crossed the threshold of a professional cartoonist. Seeing such a cover, Niya couldn't help but wonder if they hired a professional cartoonist.

"Well, the most important thing is the content." Erya, whose appetite was whetted by the cover that far exceeded her expectations, opened the doujinshi.

Erya finished reading the whole doujinshi very quickly. In general, although the style and lines are a bit rough, the high quality makes it hard to believe that this is a work drawn by a group of amateurs in two days. The character setting of the story is also very strange - the heroine actually took the setting of a general harem hero; and although the hero is the same as the elves in the setting, there is still a sense of separation in the performance; the self-positioning of the book is not clear, and it jumps back and forth between yuri works and harem works.

Although this work, which is between harem and yuri, is a novel gimmick, it gives readers a greater feeling that the author was so hungry that he had to be the first person to eat something new, and there was even a sign that he almost pricked his mouth by eating the meat and the shell together.

I'm really glad that this is just a doujinshi. If it were made into a serialized work, it would definitely offend at least one of the yuri readers and the harem readers.

"It's a great work, but that's all..." After reading the entire content, Erya closed the doujinshi - overall, the quality of the entire doujinshi was very impressive, but whether Erya would be moved was another matter.

After all, it is only 50 pages long, and it is very difficult to tell the entire main plot. In order to catch up with the main plot, many parts that should be emphasized on character description were cut off. After reading it, I only understood that the protagonists were a group of Yoko, but the logic and motivation behind their behavior and the key charm of the protagonist were still not reflected.

After confirming that there was no one around, Erya quietly called out the Confession Volume.

Erya had to admit that Zhenlian was very smart. She probably guessed that Erya would be curious about how they could produce such a high-quality work in such a short time. In the end, Zhenlian even told Erya that she hoped she would read their real story, which had some flaws due to "commercial reasons".

"Oh! That kid called Nanashi, I kind of want to take her in as my assistant."

Nia flipped through the pages of their doujinshi production process, and then, just as Manre had expected, Nia slowly turned to the story of Shiori Manre and the others.

"Oh my! It turns out that Zhizhi's chest size is 91 cm! I couldn't tell at all!"

"Hey... Lianbao actually pulled such a prank, how despicable."

"Hahaha... It's so weird. Why am I still crying after seeing so many funny things?" Even though there were many hilarious anecdotes in the middle, Erya still shed two crystal tears, which kept dripping on the pages of the proclamation volume.

In the confession volume, she saw Zhenlian who protected others even though he was seriously injured, Shiori who moved forward resolutely in the face of danger even though his body was that of an ordinary person, and the elves whose fate was extremely painful and tragic.

The Whispering Book is an omniscient angel, and whatever is recorded in it, no matter how outrageous, is true. In other words, most of what is recorded in this comic is true.

--split line--

"..."

At the Ratatosk booth, everyone was silent after cheering, a tense silence. Although the sales of doujinshi have surpassed Niya, if doujinshi still cannot impress Niya, then it is just a waste of effort.

"Ah, Zhenlian is back!"

At this moment, Tohka shouted, and everyone reflexively looked at the young man who walked in from the entrance of the venue, drinking three cups of Snow Slush King together.

"Eiya, what's your reaction?"

Shiori and the elf girls all swallowed nervously. Seeing everyone's eagerly awaiting the result, Shinrei took a sip of the straw inserted into three cups of slush and then showed an embarrassment: "Well... Niya said she wanted to watch it alone, so I'm going to buy a few drinks first."

Seeing that Zhenlian brought useless information, everyone sighed. However, at this time, Wang noticed Xun who seemed to be looking for someone: "Xun, what are you doing?"

"Oh! I have good news for you! Mie is back! He just bought a doujinshi from us!" Although Mie was not found after the sale ended, Xun was still very excited to tell everyone the good news.

"really?"

"That's great! Mie is back."

Just when everyone was happy that the four sisters of Xunlei could be reunited again, Xun's words attracted Zhenlian's attention.

"Come to think of it, it seems that Mie went to Erya to ask for an autograph."

"Hmm?" Hearing such an action that was not Mie's style, Zhen Lian asked in confusion, "Xun, does Mie like reading comics?"

"No." Xun shook his head honestly, "Mie never reads comics."

At this moment, a very terrifying guess suddenly appeared in Zhenlian's mind, and he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"Zhen Lianjun, how could you..."

Without waiting for Shiori to ask him what was wrong, Manren rushed out of the venue extremely quickly and headed straight towards Nia.

--split line--

After reading the story recorded in the obituary, Erya wiped her red eyes - if it were them, perhaps Erya would really be able to open her heart again.

However, at this moment, Erya's necklace suddenly made a dripping sound. Although the volume was not loud, it was very clear.

"The necklace Lianbao gave me has an alarm function... Ugh!"

Before Erya could react, Zhenlian, who was rushing over at high speed, didn't care whether Erya's neck would be injured. She pulled off the suppressor on the necklace and threw it into the air.

boom--!

While the necklace was still rising in the air, the micro-bomb installed on it exploded, scorching heat waves hit her face, and the bright firelight was so irritating that it was difficult to open her eyes and look directly.

"Mare-kun, why did you suddenly run out..." Shiori, who was following closely behind, rushed over, but just in time he saw the "fireworks" exploding in the air, and he was stunned where he stood.

"Ah! What is this? Killer Queen? Lian Bao..." Erya hadn't finished her words when her pupils suddenly dilated and she held her breath. Then, Erya's body trembled continuously and she fell to the ground, holding her head in pain.

"Wait a minute, Erya!" Zhenlian immediately sent a small piece of nano-metal locust into Erya's brain through Erya's ear. As Zhenlian expected, there was indeed a manifestation device in Erya's brain. As long as the manifestation device that controlled the body was destroyed, Erya could be saved!

The nanometal quickly destroyed the manifestation device in Erya's brain. However, Erya still showed no signs of relief, and his screams became even more shrill: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh——!"

"Ni...Niya?"

Shiori was about to rush to the painful Niya, but at this moment the space tremor alarm sounded. Niya's body gushed out black spiritual energy filled with an ominous aura.

"What's going on... I clearly destroyed the control device in Erya's brain, why..." Zhenlian stared at Erya in a daze - Erya's body, limbs, forehead and other parts of the body were all torn apart, revealing shocking wounds. The unstoppable blood and black spiritual power mixed together, turning into a tattered black nun's uniform. The whole person looked like a statue of the Virgin Mary shedding tears of blood.
