Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

Kotori (ignoring the two people whose lilies were in bloom): Well, the main reason was probably that most people at the time didn't expect the author to write the assassination into a death sentence.

Shiori (narration): Actually, the original plan did not include the assassination of this character. However, the plot of the assassination in the original work was too regrettable, so the author made up for it here.

Kotori (snickering): By the way, the Scorpion Girl took over the original assassination and got beaten up, hehe...

Mie (black face): Tsk…

Shinrei: The character of Assassin in the original drama could have been written more fully, but it was used to support the Shining Locust. I feel bad for Mr. Shinya Yamato. I'm really sorry that Tonomachi was asked to play your role! (90-degree bow)

Tenmachi (suddenly jumps out): Zhenlian, what do you mean?

Zhenlian (kick): Rider Kick!

Tenmachi (kicked away): Puff——!

——Isn’t Zhenlian too weak——

Manren (frowning): Um... Although 01 is pretty impressive in terms of statistics, comparing combat power across works is meaningless.

Kotori (pulling out a stack of information): Then let's take stock of your performance in this game. In the Yoshino volume, you were beaten to the point of death by Metsu; in the Kurumi volume, you were beaten to the point of death by Kurumi and sent to the infirmary, and the key was pulled out by several of Kurumi's clones; in the Assassination volume, you were beaten by Metsu to the point of canceling your transformation twice. And your current record is defeating three Magia, Berosa, Ekar, and Bikaria, several Kurumi clones, white Higanbana origami, and defeating Metsu after getting the Shining Locust. May I ask if the "immortality" that you often mention is a tribute to a certain Kamen Rider who has died many times?

Zhenlian (embarrassed): Ahem…

Kotori (smirking, finishing off): And except for the last two achievements, White Bana Origami can also do the other ones, right? Then can I understand that your sublimated locust form is roughly equivalent to White Bana Origami?

Zhenlian (kneeling after being shot by an arrow in the knee): Stop scolding me... Stop scolding me... (explodes) Ahhh! I will become stronger later, you can rest assured!

Tohka (patting her head): It's okay! Before you become stronger, Shinrei still has us!

Yoshino (patting her head): It's okay... Mr. Manre, that's great! I... I will do my best to protect Mr. Manre!

Manre (bitter smile): I know I'll become stronger in the future, but I feel like I'm relying on Tohka and Yoshino for protection, and intuitively I feel like a coward.

Shiori (sneezes): Ah-choo! I feel like another me is being scolded...

——Will the second rider appear——

Manren (thinking): If I really have to say, the confirmed 02 should be considered the second rider, right?

Kotori: How is that possible! Although 02 is a knight independent of 01, it is most likely that you are using it!

Shiori (bitter smile): It seems that because the second and third riders didn't suffer, the scene where Shinrei-kun suffered a defeat seemed particularly eye-catching.

Manre: But speaking of teammates being defeated... (sneak glance at Tohka)

Tohka (tilts her head in a cute way): Hmm?

Manren (whispering): It seems that after cooperating with Origami, he was defeated by assassination. The signs of this have already begun to appear.

Kotori (whispering): Indeed, although most of it can be solved by reversing all the spiritual energy.

Shiori (whispering): But whether the spiritual power will completely reverse is up to the author. But for the performance of Shinrei-kun, the probability of Tohka completely reversing is not high. I always feel that Tohka is a little pitiful.

Tohka (coming closer): What are you talking about?

Manren (pretending to be serious): Because of me, the probability of Tohka's spiritual power completely reversing is much smaller.

Tohka (happy): Really? I'm really happy that I can avoid causing trouble for everyone!

Itsuka sisters: Tohka is really easy to deceive...

Zhenlian (shrugs): But we should have someone who is the loser on our side, isn't there one in the original work? Tobi Izuru...

(Origami jumps down from the ceiling and holds down Shinrei)

Zhenlian: Why are you here?

Origami: Such a thing does not exist, Angel of Extinction!

Zhenlian: Don’t come over here, ahhh——!

——About the guest appearance arrangement of seniors——

Shiori: There were a lot of Easter egg characters in the previous encore short story. But they were all ordinary people. If you want to arrange a senior knight to make a guest appearance, will it be Kamen Rider Decade?

Zhenlian: It’s not Decade, it’s Den-O!

Shiori: Eh? Isn't it Decade?

Zhenlian: Mainly because the author likes Den-O. And just bring in the Four Idiots, because I'm afraid Wang Xiaoming will steal my limelight. (Whispering) By the way, how do you want the Four Idiots to appear? In a suit or as a beautiful girl?

Shiori (with a kind smile): Manre-kun...why are you so obsessed with beautiful girls~?

Zhen Lian (sweat on forehead): I am just asking questions on behalf of the author. It has nothing to do with my own will. Yes, it has nothing to do with my will. I remembered that I have something else to do. I have to have some tea! (Slips away)

Shiori: Hiden Manrei, stop right there!

Chapter 1 People in the Dark

"Did you know? DEM's boss Westcott actually came to save Sergeant Tobiichi."

"Really? Really? I heard that her memory was going to be wiped and she was kicked out of AST."

"It has long been changed to solitary confinement."

"What's the difference between that and drinking three cups as punishment?"

Although Westcott could clearly hear the whispers of several AST members at the corner behind him, he just ignored them.

Compared to the indifferent Westcott, Allen frowned: "The AST's military discipline is really lax, and the two new weapons they were distributed before were lost. They should be thankful that their superior is not me."

"There's no need to waste our energy on these magi who are just playing around, Alan." Westcott smiled. "What a pity. It's said that Tobiichi Origami can not only use the briefcase rifle, but also almost kill Efreet by driving the DW-029 White Bana. If she is treated with some magic, she might surpass you, Alan."

After saying that, Westcott sighed and seemed to feel regretful for not being able to obtain talent resources, but there was no trace of the emotion called "regret" in his tone and expression.

"Ike, you really like to joke." Ellen showed an unhappy expression on her face - after all, she, Ellen Mathers, was the strongest magician, but in Westcott's mouth, she seemed to be less valuable than out-of-season vegetables.

"Compared to this, there is a lot of information worth noting in Tiangong City recently."

Alan said as he handed a file bag to Westcott.

"Oh? It seems like it must be something interesting to have caught your attention."

"Yes. The spirit Princess that appeared many times near the border of Kanto lost contact three months ago. You should know this, right?"

"Yeah, but there's nothing strange about that."

Westcott opened the file bag and his frivolous expression disappeared immediately after seeing the photo inside - it was the Princess. No, to be precise, it was a high school girl from Raizen who looked exactly like the Princess.

"Yatogami Tohka, as you can see, the last time Princess was Lost was in Amamiya City. Not long after that, a high school student named Yatogami Tohka appeared in Zen High School."

"That's interesting. Does that mean the Princess is going to high school? How is AST dealing with it?"

"We used several DS-06s to observe and confirmed that he was an ordinary person."

"Huh?" Westcott held his forehead with his hand, looking helpless. "Using this on-board observation device with a lower accuracy than a hand-cranked computer, it can be confirmed that he is an ordinary person?"

"If necessary..."

"No need." Westcott shook his head. "It's a rare trip to Japan, and I encountered such an interesting thing. How can I waste it?"

"I understand. I will arrange for the aerial ship Arbatel and the Bandersnatch (mythical beast) troops." Allen nodded, and then handed over the second document, "The next one is about Kamen Rider."

"Kamen Rider?" Westcott didn't show much unfamiliarity with the word. "There's no need to worry about Ark and Thunderbolt. If they want to cause trouble, let them do it. Anyway, their goals are similar to ours."

A large part of the reason why Dawn City was abandoned for so long was that DEM was interfering. The briefcase sword and briefcase rifle were found in the ruins of Dawn City. But compared to this, Westcott found a character that made him excited - Ark, the spiritual power aggregate that had infinite malice towards humans.

Although it is still sleeping, Westcott is looking forward to the day when it wakes up. The purpose of the Thunder of Destruction is to wake Ark up, so DEM naturally has no reason to interfere with them.

"No, this Kamen Rider is not affiliated with Ark." Allen added, "On the contrary, he seems to be on the side of the elves. When Tobiichi Origami defeated Efreet (Flame Demon) before, it was because of his interference that they failed."

"Oh?"

Westcott raised his eyebrows and became interested. After browsing the file, he smiled in an ambiguous way: "Haha, Kamen Rider 01? He seems to be in the same class with Princess. It also saves us from splitting up."

Since the other party is on the side of the elves, they are naturally on the opposite side of DEM, which means they are DEM's enemy.

"Alan, who is stronger between you and him?"

"Of course it's me. I'm the strongest magician. I won't lose no matter who my opponent is."

After hearing Alan's answer, Westcott smiled happily.

--split line--

In the base of Thunder of Destruction, Xun, who is now the spokesperson of the third generation Ark, shed his previous childishness and began to operate the device equipped with Ark, just like Mie, who is the spokesperson of the second generation Ark.

"Huh...it's finally done." Xun breathed a sigh of relief. Now the preparations for the first stage of Ark's awakening have been completed. Eight of the ten Extinction Keys have been collected. Now all they have to do is wait for the Dodo Key and the Mammoth Key.

[Only by waking up Ark can we save Mie. ]

At some point, a man in a black robe appeared beside Xun, but Xun was neither alert nor panicked. Instead, he spoke in a very welcoming tone: "Long time no see, Wang."

The black-robed man called Death said nothing, but placed a bunch of keys in front of Xun - Crushing Buffalo, Splashing Whale, Exploding Lion, Storm Penguin, Scouting Panda, Fighting Jackal, and the two extinction keys of Dodo and Mammoth.

"You've really helped me a lot, Death!" Xun immediately inserted the remaining two extinction keys into the device, and the Ark immediately emitted a dazzling light, and the entire base began to tremble. Then, just like the zombies in the horror movie reaching out from the grave, the device containing the Ark stretched out countless mechanical arms like the giant sea monster Kraken.

"Little Assassin, please lend me your last bit of strength." After saying that, he quickly handed over the Violent Ostrich Key, which was still an empty shell for the time being.

The robotic arm picked up the violent ostrich key, aligned it and repaired it, and then created several new devices on the workbench like 3D printing.

One is a silver-white handle with a simple red switch on it, and then there is a red translucent key and a belt.

The new key is fiery red, and it also has a falcon on it. But compared to the painting of a flying falcon, its feathers are shaped like flames, and the overall shape is more like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. The standard English word "Burning Falcon" is etched on the simple drawing of the phoenix.

The overall shape of the belt looks like a dagger, with a button on the handle and a slot for the key on the guard.

"Great, there are new toys." Xun excitedly picked up Ark's new creation and the repaired Violent Ostrich Key. The next task is to find Lei.

"Come to Zen High School for a school trip. Lei, there." A voice came from under the black robe whose face could not be seen.

"You got the information so quickly, you're worthy of being Wang. As for the second stage of Ark's awakening, I'll leave it to you, Wang." Xun put his arm around Wang's shoulder with a smile.

Wang didn't say anything, but just quietly put away the remaining keys. At this moment, Wang had a new black belt in his hand - the Raid Sublimator.

Chapter 2 Whip and Sugar

Legend has it that God took six days to create everything in the world, so the seventh day, which is Sunday, is a day for rest, and Shiori did so.

In the Gokawa family's kitchen, Shiori was humming a song while washing the dishes in the sink, but the next second something incredible happened - the water from the faucet froze into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye! If Shiori hadn't stopped in time, her hands would have turned into ice sculptures.

"This familiar feeling, could it be..."

The water pipes of the Gokawa family are very close to the water pipes of the Elf Apartment next door, which is 100% due to the influence of the neighbors.

Because there is a girl next door, her crying can easily cause a large-scale drop in temperature, so freezing the water pipes is naturally not a problem.

Shizhi hurried to the elf apartment next door and opened the door with his key, and then a gust of cold wind blew in.

"It's so cold..." Shizhi shuddered all over. In July, she actually experienced white mist coming out of her mouth, which is something that only happens outdoors in winter.

When I walked into the house, the first thing I saw was the bathroom door covered with a layer of frost.

"What's wrong with Yoshino?" Shiori hurriedly opened the bathroom door and saw a little blue-haired loli wrapped in a bath towel, kneeling on the ground and crying.

"Shiona...Shiona it..." Shiona cried and pointed at the bathtub full of water and several pieces of floating ice - and Shiona, who usually kept her hand close to her, was now blocking the drain. If nothing was done, this funny rabbit puppet would probably move to the Pacific Ocean.

Shion also understood this. When she thought of Shionna being washed away, she couldn't help but start crying: "Shionna... wu..."

"Calm down, Yoshino!"

As the spiritual energy overflowed, the ice on the bathtub grew larger and larger. If it continued like this, there would be no hope. Shiori comforted Yoshino while reaching his hand into the bathtub.

"Hiss..." Shiori gasped at the icy touch, but he still managed to rescue Yoshina safely, preventing Ratatosk from wasting manpower to search all the sewers in Amamiya City to find Yoshina's fate.

"Oh, Shiori saved me again. I'm so sorry." After returning to Yoshino's hands, Yoshino started moving as if injected with vitality, making funny noises.

"Thank you... Shiori..." Yoshino also thanked Shiori in a low voice.

"Okay, be more careful next time."

Shizhi had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly there was a huge explosion and the whole house shook twice as if there was an earthquake.

This familiar feeling cannot be wrong.

"Tohka, what happened?"

Shiori immediately opened the door of Tohka's room, only to see Tohka with tears in her eyes like a child who had made a mistake, holding a wet notebook in her hand. Looking at the spilled juice on the desk, it was not difficult to imagine what had happened.

"I accidentally stained Shinren's notebook..." Tohka said while sobbing, "When I think that Shinren will hate me because of this, I..."

Before she could finish her words, purple light flashed around Tohka again, and a fierce wave of air rose up around her again.

"Maren-kun won't be angry about something like this." Shizhi said as he managed to stand firm in this wave of anger.
