Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

--split line--

Today's lunch time was relatively late, not until 2:10.

Tohka was munching on a ham sandwich, Yoshino and Kotori were savoring a mix of tropical fruit juice, and Shiori seemed to really like the fried rice that was specially provided at the park.

The girls were enjoying the food, but Shinren looked at the table full of food but had no appetite. After all, she had just learned from Reine that Kotori's stats had not changed at all and she had been very cold.

"I'll excuse you for a moment."

Kotori got up and left. Shin was about to ask about the situation, but considering that Kotori would never tell him the truth obediently with her personality, she chose not to move for the time being.

After being some distance away from Kotori, Shinren stood up and followed Kotori's pace.

"Is Kotori really okay like this? When she set out, she was already injected with a drug several dozen times higher than usual. If she continues to increase the dosage, her life will be in danger."

"Don't worry. I won't die from a few drugs after I transform into an elf."

"Is this really okay?"

"I promised Zhenlian that today must be the best date ever. So, please, Lingyin."

After the injection was completed, Ling Yin walked out from behind the vending machine, but what she saw was Zhen Lian leaning against the vending machine.

"It's really pitiful, you..."

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret with Shiori..."

Zhenlian had her back to Lingyin, and no matter how hard she tried to force herself to calm down, Lingyin could still hear the trembling in her voice.

Instead of continuing her conversation with Lingyin, Zhenlian chose to walk towards the exit.

--split line--

Back at the restaurant, Tohka and Yoshino, who had already finished their meal, went to play in the water, while Shiori was still sitting quietly waiting for Manren.

"Moriya-kun, are you okay? You look very bad." Shiori noticed something was wrong with Moriya and asked with concern.

"I don't." Zhenlian rejected it neatly.

"Zhenlian can't lie to me. I told you I'm very sensitive to negative emotions. Zhenlian didn't even eat much today, she must be worried!"

“Who said that? Mmmmm…” Zhenlian stuffed food into her mouth angrily to prove that she was fine, but almost choked on the food.

"Marei-kun, water."

After drinking the water handed to her by Shizhi, Zhenlian swallowed the food.

[I actually forgot this guy is a negative emotion detector.]

Zhenlian covered her forehead and lamented her own mistakes in her heart. Finally, she chose to speak frankly: "Um... you know about Kotori."

"Ah."

"She could have been sealed by you, but because of me..."

Shinrei tells about his worries - because of his own reasons, Kotori cannot be sealed normally, so he must do it well today. But the more he thinks about it, the more deliberate Shinrei's behavior becomes, and the less he knows how to do it well. But Kotori is different from Tohka and Shiono, and even from Kurumi. She is the commander of Fraxinus. The more Shinrei holds that mentality, the more Kotori feels that Shinrei is just trying to perform the task, and the worse the date is. The worse the date is, the more anxious Shinrei becomes, and the more he wants to do it well.

Because the purpose was too strong, Zhenlian didn't know what to do.

In this way, Zhenlian fell into a vicious circle.

"I see..." Shiori nodded after understanding the situation, "Actually, there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself, Manrei-kun. Just do your best and everything will be fine. Kotori, that kid, doesn't actually hate you, and sometimes Manrei-kun will be fine if he's a little more frank. And Kotori's affection for me is enough to seal it, it's just not that stable. This time it's my turn to be Manrei-kun's backup."

"Really... you saw my embarrassing side. I understand." Seeing Shizhi's serious expression, Zhenlian couldn't help but laugh, "Thank you, Shizhi."

"Hehe... It's great to be able to help Manre-kun." Shiori stuck out his pink little tongue mischievously and happily.

A few minutes later

"Sorry, I'm late..."

"Kotori, you're back. It's great. Go change your clothes. We're going to the amusement park next." Manren, who had just changed her clothes, invited Kotori.

"Ah?" Kotori was a little overwhelmed by Manori's sudden invitation, but she sighed the next second, "The water park is not effective, so have you changed your strategy?"

"Huh?" Shinren pointed at her ears, showing Kotori that there were no earphones in them. "I just wanted to go out and have fun, and I brought you along for today's mission. Besides, when has I, Hiden Shinren, ever listened to you guys?"

Kotori was immediately annoyed and amused by this familiar rubbish remark from Shinren: "How dare you say that? If it was an elf other than me, you would have died long ago."

"If you can do it, you can give it a try. I'm fully armed today!" Zhen Lian proudly opened his coat, inside which were hung six sublimation keys: Crushing Buffalo, Splashing Whale, Exploding Lion, Storm Penguin, Scouting Panda, and Combat Jackal. Just in case, he even brought the Authorized Destroyer.

Seeing Shinren dressed like a seller of porn movies, Kotori couldn't help laughing: "If you forget about me while having fun, I will definitely make you into a cumin roasted locust!"

Seeing the two people bickering and walking away, Shiori finally felt relieved, but then her smile disappeared. At this time, Reine walked up to Shiori and said, "Do you need to take a break, Xiaozhi? Your stress level is not lower than Zhenlian's."

"Thank you, Miss Lingyin. Can I lean on you for a while?"

"Ah."

Shizhi leaned on Lingyin's chest, and Lingyin stroked Shizhi's head like a mother: "Good boy, good boy..."

"Ms. Reine, if I kiss Kotori now, can I seal her?"

"..."

"Is that so... I'm fine. If it's Mayune-kun, then there will be no problem." Shiori looked at Kotori and Mayune who were walking away and prayed silently in his heart.

Chapter 8 Smile Smile!

"What's wrong... Zhenlian? You are shaking more violently than a patient having convulsions..." Kotori forced a smile on her face, but at this moment her legs were shaking like a sieve.

"Don't give me that. Don't think I don't know you're trying to be stubborn. You're not much better... It's okay for a kid to scream. I can understand." Zhenlian also forced a sarcastic smile, but only he knew that the cold sweat flowing from his palms was enough to water the flowers.

At this moment, the slowly rising bungee jumping machine suddenly stopped. Shin and Kotori felt nervous because everyone knew what this meant.

next second.

“Aaaaaaaa——!”

The bungee jumping machine descended rapidly, and the world in the eyes of the two people instantly began to accelerate downward, and they experienced the charm of "g=9.80m/s^2" with their bodies.

When the bungee jumping machine landed, Mana and Kotori almost had to hold on to the wall to walk out of the amusement facility.

"I really admire you. You can jump that high, yet you're still so scared..." Kotori tried hard to hold back the tears of fear, and held on to the wall so that her weak legs could support the weight of her body.

"Then my lovely lady of fire elf, do you dare to put your hand into the fire while you are sealed?" Zhenlian felt as if someone had pulled her brain out, thrown it into the mud, fished it out, squeezed it dry, and then stuffed it back in.

It is June now and the weather is still quite hot. Since she drank fruit juice at noon, Kotori suddenly felt her mouth was dry and sticky, which was very uncomfortable.

Zhenlian would naturally think of this, after all, from what she had seen just now, Kotori kept glancing at the mobile ice cream vendor intentionally or unintentionally.

[Is it too unoriginal to just give one portion to each person? And I want to eat it too... If I share one portion, I'm sure people will complain about why we don't have one portion each.]

Zhenlian thought about it, and then saw the donation box next to her. After another mental struggle, Zhenlian took out her wallet, took out the money for the ice cream, and threw the remaining money and the bag into the donation box, and then began her fake performance.

“Aaaaaa! My money accidentally fell into the donation box! The remaining money is only enough to buy one ice cream!”

Seeing this performance that almost said "I want to eat ice cream with you", Kotori turned her head slightly and said, "Idiot, you can make such a low-level mistake. I really... I really can't do anything about you. In this case, I'll just have one with you reluctantly."

【Nice! 】

After buying the ice cream, when Kotori was about to reach out for the ice cream with a spoon, Shinren, who was holding the ice cream, moved the ice cream away with a wicked smile, leaving Kotori empty-handed.

"Open your mouth and I'll feed you." Zhenlian said with a wicked smile on her face, shaking the spoon in her hand.

"Hey... Hey me?" Kotori's face instantly turned red as if dyed, and she suddenly became a little embarrassed, "Well... After all, it's for the strategy, so okay..."

"come--"

"Ah...ah——" Kotori closed her eyes and opened her cherry lips, like a hungry baby bird.

[So this guy has this cute side. If he was always like this, wouldn't it be all good for everyone?]

The dense and cold ice cream is put into the mouth, and the icy touch fills the entire mouth. After the temperature in the mouth rises slightly, the taste nerves that have been numbed by the cold can fully feel the sugar, and the sweet taste gradually spreads in the mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"Hmm..." Kotori blushed and nodded slightly.

"Then it's your turn to feed me." Zhenlian said and opened her mouth.

"Eh? Ok...okay."

If they were a normal couple, it would definitely develop into an embarrassing mutual feeding play, but how could the mixture of these two active chemicals, Manori and Kotori, develop in such a direction?

The two then started arguing over who fed whom more, and they fed each other larger and larger portions, until Kotori got so angry that she stuffed half a cup of ice cream into Manreya's mouth.

"Really? I actually had fantasies about a locust like you..." Kotori covered her head speechlessly.

"Kang, Ewa (Look, a hippo)!"

The ice cream did not enter Zhenlian's mouth. Instead, Zhenlian grabbed the large piece of ice cream in a way that almost tore her jaw apart, like a hippopotamus with its mouth wide open.

"You're so childish. Are you planning on wearing diapers until you graduate from high school... haha..." Although Kotori really wanted to teach Manren a lesson, she was amused by his funny look in the end.

Shinrei swallowed a large piece of ice cream in one gulp: "Kotori, you smiled."

"I didn't." Kotori denied flatly.

"Why do you have to keep a straight face? Smile, smile!" Jin Lian leaned against the back of the bench, "Smile more, it will definitely be cuter than keeping a straight face."

"I really envy you for living such a heartless life." Kotori sighed, "Do you think no one has any objection to a junior high school student like me sitting in the commander's position? Now I'm even a time bomb. You're actually trying to persuade a person like me to smile. You really are an EQ black hole."

"Huh?" Zhenlian deliberately prolonged her tone, "Only dead people and babies in this world have no worries. Everyone has problems. As long as you're not dead, you can just move on tomorrow. You can't just play "Pathetique" every time you have a problem, right? The deadline is there, why not be a little happier instead of having a stern face?"

"I've noticed that you, the locust, have been talking a lot lately. Everyone understands this truth, but who can really do it?"

"Who are you showing your bitter and resentful expression to? It's useless. And I want to date Shiori's cutest stepsister, Gokawa Kotori, not the commander who is worried and stressed." Shinrei gently turned Kotori's head with one hand so that the two of them could look into each other's eyes. "Smile. I'm enough for a melancholy handsome man."

"You..."

Zhen Lian smiled but said seriously: "Even if you can't laugh, just pretend to laugh. The mask will become a part of you after you wear it for a long time. If you really can't, I will laugh for you, and in exchange you laugh for me."

"Pfft...haha..." Kotori finally couldn't help laughing, "You locust, you really have a lot of twisted ideas. You don't obey orders, you're addicted to sweets, you can't swim, you speak dirty words in English, you're not gentle at all, and you always steal my Chupa Chups to eat. I really hate you the most."

Zhenlian stood up and stretched: "Since you hate me the most, it means that our date cannot be stopped. Didn't we agree on it? Today will be the best date ever."

But the next second, Shinren suddenly pushed Kotori away, and Kotori fell to the ground.

"Manrei, what are you doing...this is..." Just as Kotori reacted, her eardrums were instantly hit by a huge explosion, and the world in her eyes was instantly filled with flames and black smoke.

The place where he had just stood, which was where Zhenlian should have been, was now just a scorched earth, and everything was beyond recognition.

Amid the screams and sounds of people fleeing, Kotori raised her head and saw the source of the missile - Origami, wearing a manifestation device and combat uniform, was flying in the air, and behind her was a huge device like a fortress, the White Bana.

"Origami Tobiichi... do you know what you have done!?" Kotori was a little out of control and yelled at the origami in the air.

"I... killed Hiden Shinrei..." Origami's lips were already bleeding from biting, but she still pointed the gun at Kotori, "This time, I won't miss. Efreet (Flame Demon)!"

Flames ignited around Kotori, and sparks of anger crackled in her eyes: "Godly Spirit Suit O Five..."

"I'm not dead yet. Don't curse me!"

In the black smoke, a strange yet familiar figure walked out.

"Progrise! Critical finishing swing! Fighting Jackal! Deciding the fate of a battle like a Valkyrie!"

Shinren used the battle jackal to transform into a new form of 01 and appeared in front of Kotori and Origami. With the sublimated locust as the body, 01's face turned black, with orange-yellow wolf ears like Anubis' head, a black breastplate, an orange plastron, and an orange neck decoration, forming a jackal's face. The wolf-claw-shaped boots and gauntlets showed a clean and neat fighting style, and the whole person exuded the aura of an Egyptian mythological warrior.

"Since my transformation was interrupted by Kurumi last time, I have practiced quick transformation a full thousand times. It should be considered that three minutes on stage takes ten years of practice off stage." 01 twisted his neck. The impact of the missile just now made his neck very uncomfortable. "Although I have never used the key of the Battle Jackal, I have to learn while fighting now."

"Hiden Shinren, get out of the way! My target is Efreet (Flame Demon). And the AST top brass don't like you, so I will not take any responsibility if I kill you!" Origami still had no intention of stopping, and instead threatened 01.

"In your eyes, you should be the hero who defeated the devil, right?" Zhenlian touched his chin, "Since you regard Kotori as the boss, please crush me, an elite monster, first."

As he spoke, 01 used his belt to summon the Battle Jackal's exclusive weapon, the Scythe of Terror.

1 pointed at the origami in the air with the Scythe of Fear: "What should I say now? That's right! There is only one person who can stop you, and that's me! So let's start our date (battle)!"

Chapter 9 Out of Control Fighting Jackal

After Origami's missile bombing, everyone in the amusement park screamed and ran away, but fortunately, everyone had experienced a lot of disaster scenes in their daily lives, and soon the entire amusement park became empty.

"Zhen Lian, are you really okay..."

Kotori stepped forward, but was stopped by 01 with the Scythe of Fear: "You should know your own situation better than me, right? So leave this to me."

Kotori nodded and prepared to go somewhere further away from the battlefield.

Origami naturally noticed that the target was Kotori, and immediately aimed in Kotori's direction and pulled the trigger.

A missile was launched, but it was neatly cut in half in mid-air by the Scythe of Terror thrown by 01 in Combat Jackal form.
