Is there Kamen Rider 01 in Date Away?

"You're 20,000 years too early to pretend to be me. Now, surrender. Watch out or I'll spank you!"

Mayura approached Nanashi and began to persuade him to surrender. However, Nanashi still did not cancel his transformation, but still maintained Mayura's unique scornful tone and taunted: "Huh? If you have the guts, then go ahead and fight. Do you dare to fight yourself?"

The next second, Mayaya slapped Nanashi on the head, and then hit Nanashi on the forehead while he was covering his head.

"I'll satisfy your unreasonable request, girl." Mayura blew on her fist like a cowboy blowing away the gun smoke. "I have to say that even if it's Mayura, this face still deserves a beating."

"Remember this!" Nanashi, who had turned back into an older sister witch, covered her red forehead and flew away from Raizen High School riding on the fake witch.

Chapter 5: The Game of Seven Sins

DEM company, in the UK headquarters building.

Several middle-aged men gathered in the conference room on the 20th floor. They were all directors of DEM Company. They looked serious and stared at the man sitting at the end of the conference table as if they were going to accuse someone.

The man sitting there is Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, the current president of DEM.

In the heavy atmosphere of the conference room, the careless and young-looking Westcott seemed so out of place, like an incongruous note in a piece of music. He looked at the entire conference room leisurely and contentedly, and it seemed that the conference room itself seemed to attract Westcott more than those unfriendly directors.

The directors gathered here today for only one thing - to remove the current president, Westcott, from his position.

Images flashed one after another on the projection screen in the conference room. The first office building of DEM Japan Branch was cut in half, and all floors above the 18th floor disappeared. The rest of the facilities were also in ruins like crops eaten by locusts.

Not only that, several excellent magicians also died in this battle, and the loss of human resources was not small. Even when the people were not evacuated, the Bandersnatch troops were mobilized, and the matter of not exposing the manifestation device to the public was completely forgotten.

Everything was Westcott's "good deed".

"You have arbitrarily interfered with the Japanese AST, completely ignored the relevant regulations of the manifestation device, privately mobilized mystics and equipment, completely ignored ordinary people's surprise attacks, and used office buildings and commercial streets as the main battlefield. You have left such a big handle for the Japanese government. How are you going to clean up this mess!"

One of the directors, named Maddock, enumerated Westcott's "great achievements" one by one, and then angrily slammed a pile of documents on the table: "Is this for the so-called elf reversal? Westcott, what on earth are you thinking!?"

Duke's attitude towards Westcott has always been very bad, but no director stood up to reconcile, because everyone disliked Westcott to some extent, but they just didn't show it so obviously.

"I now demand that President Westcott be removed from his position! Speaker Russell, please vote!"

"Is this really all right, sir?"

Russell showed an awkward look to Westcott. Although Westcott was both the president and the chairman of the board, it was not allowed for one person to hold both positions. Therefore, Russell was appointed as the nominal chairman of the board.

"No problem, this is their right."

Westcott's expression did not change at all, as if Duke was requesting to have Japanese food instead of Western food tonight.

"Then let's start the vote. Directors who agree to remove Westcott from his position as president, please raise your hands."

As soon as Duke finished speaking, more than half of the directors, including himself, raised their hands.

This dismissal was not only a punishment for Westcott's crazy behavior in Japan, but also an attempt to seize Westcott's power in order to gain more benefits. To put it bluntly, Duke is a businessman, and as a businessman, it is only natural for him to pursue profit.

At this point, Duke showed a sarcastic smile. It was no accident that there were so many people who agreed to the proposal. It was definitely due to his arrangement that such a situation could have come about.

Russell glanced around and announced the result: "No one raised their hand. The proposal to remove Mr. Westcott from the position of president is invalid."

"What!" Maddock showed a shocked expression on his face. "Hey, Russell, stop joking. Are you so demented that you can't count?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

"Eh?"

Before Duke could react, a sharp pain came from his arm. Not only him, but all the directors who raised their hands screamed, and the conference room suddenly became like hell. The reason for this scene was simple - the hands of all the directors who raised their hands were chopped off.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-!"

"A mere figurehead director is still dreaming of snatching away DEM founded by Ike. They are really just a bunch of unreasonable lunatics."

Amid the screams of the crowd, Allen walked out from behind Westcott, holding a small laser dagger in her hand. Even without the manifestation device and combat suit, Allen, as the strongest magician, could still cut off the arms of the directors in an instant.

"Hurry up and go to the infirmary to use the display device to reconnect your arm. Isn't it not worth losing an arm for something like this? After all, you are holding the bright future of DEM in your hands. You can't hold it with one hand." Westcott stood up and said to Maddock with a smile.

"You guy!"

Duke's eyes were wide open, but he dared not speak. Looking at Duke's expression, Westcott shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't want to be so ruthless, but my little problem has come back again. First of all, you, Mr. Duke, I'm curious about how many pounds you have embezzled? I heard that you have become a big customer of Swiss Bank. You must have made at least 2000 million from the big deal that DEM has negotiated recently, right? Let's calculate, the accumulated embezzled money is enough to make up for the loss of my play."

【! ! ! 】

Upon hearing his dirty deeds revealed, Duke's expression instantly changed from anger to horror, and his face turned pale.

"Mr. Melton, you sold DEM's business secrets before, and it seems you made a small profit. The villa is by the sea, so your retirement life must be very comfortable, right?"

【! ! ! 】

"Mr. Andrew, I said I would send the scrapped manifestation device Pandragon to the DEM recycling station. But its parts seem to have appeared at a black market auction. I'm really curious about who its next owner will be."

【! ! ! 】

All the directors with broken arms seemed to have forgotten the pain. They just listened with pale faces as Westcott listed one by one the things they had done behind his back.

Westcott concluded with a smile: "I have said so much just to express that I am not as cold and heartless as you all seem. In fact, I have been silently watching everyone's efforts. I believe that my concern also warms your hearts, right?"

If Duke was just unwilling to accept the defeat before, now he was completely paralyzed on the ground - he absolutely could not defeat this man.

Seeing Maddock's appearance, Westcott showed a satisfied look, and deliberately knelt down to make eye contact with him: "I just want to see your expression, the expression that makes you want to kill me but have to accept your fate. But now it seems that I still prefer your previous rebellious look, so I can only trouble you to recover."

After the face-to-face taunting, Westcott and Allen left the meeting room. In the corridor, Westcott spoke up, "Alan, your hands are shaking. Are you worried about your beloved phone that was dismantled and sold on the black market?"

"No." Allen put away the laser dagger, "I'm just looking forward to my future driver."

Looking at Alan's profile, Vescott showed a playful smile on his face.

--split line--

October 10st, Saturday, five days have passed since Nanashi transformed into Shinren and caused a scene.

Fortunately, Maya stopped Nana Sin before it made a big deal. In the past few days, in addition to the three-clothing group always scolding Maya angrily, the boys who were jealous of Maya before now look at Maya with a little more pity while increasing their resentment.

The Seven Sins haven’t made any moves in the past five days, but this has made Zhenlian more vigilant rather than less vigilant, indicating that the situation is likely to be Biden’s frown—something big is coming.

As expected by Zhenlian, Nanashi really prepared a big surprise for him. This morning, Kotori came back from Fraxinus with a white envelope. There was no message or stamp on it. It can be seen that the other party personally walked to the door of Gokawa's house and threw it into the mailbox.

"It must have been sent by Nanashi." Zhenlian weighed the envelope in her hand. It wasn't heavy, but it had some heft.

"It can't be a bomb or something like that, right? Manren-kun, please be careful!" Shiori looked worriedly at Manren who was looking around the envelope, fearing that there might be some dangerous items stuffed in the envelope that could hurt him.

"No. Fraxinus has checked the envelope and it's not dangerous. Open it and take a look." Kotori's words dispelled Shiori's doubts.

"Photos? Zhenlian opened the envelope and found a stack of photos and a piece of paper inside.

"Is this me? And my sister?" Kotori frowned and found that there were photos of herself and Shiori in the pile of photos.

The photos were neatly arranged, they were - Shiori, Tohka, Origami, Yoshino, Kotori, Yakuya, Yuzuru, Miku, Ai, Mai, Mii, Kozue-sensei, and Tenmachi.

Judging from the look of the person in the photo, it is estimated that the photo was taken without the person's awareness. What is more disturbing than these photos is the piece of paper with a few sentences written on it.

[I'm right here, Hiden Manrei, can you guess which one is me? Before everyone disappears. by Nanashi]

"Tsk." Zhenlian frowned and clicked her tongue.

Shiori and Kotori also felt uneasy.

boom!

Zhenlian slammed her fist on the table: "This guy is playing word games."

Zhenlian noticed that the question given by Nanashi was very vague. Did she become the person in the photo, or the photo itself, or something in the photo? Nanashi simply got it wrong.

Choose one out of thirteen, even if it's a blind guess, there is still a probability of one in thirteen. Even the possibility of getting a card by drawing a single card in a mobile game is not impossible. Where does the Seven Sins get the confidence that it is absolutely impossible to be found?

That was her word game. If she became the chairs, flowers, grass, and trees in the background, it would be all over.

Zhen Lian was not angry, but seemed to have learned a very helpless fact. Nanashi wanted to play a game with him, and wanted him to play a game with the game rule maker.

It is a pipe dream to want to defeat the master of the rules within the rules.

But now he has to challenge the master of the rules, because the master of the rules will make everyone around him disappear.

Chapter 6 Who are the Seven Sins? (Part )

Saturday was not a relaxing one because of worrying about Nanashi, but the letter sent by Nanashi made it feel unusually heavy.

If the current situation can be likened to a guessing game, then Zhenlian is the person who is forced to answer the questions, and the price of answering the wrong question is that one of the thirteen people will disappear. And Nanashi is the person who sets the question and can influence the answer.

Because of the fuzzy information, Zhenlian has too many questions here - did Nanashi turn into the person in the photo, or the photo itself, or something in the background of the photo character? Did Nanashi's so-called "disappearance" kill her? Before everyone disappeared, would Nanashi remain the same person? Would the person who disappeared be Nanashi himself?

But even with so many questions, Shinrei had no choice but to go for it. Kotori contacted Fraxinus's staff to investigate the environment of all the photos as soon as possible to confirm whether there was anything that was transformed by the Seven Sins. Shinrei's mission was very simple - meet all the suspects one by one and find out what was wrong in person.

“How pitiful!”

Looking at Tohka running out of the apartment, Manren sighed. It seemed that he would be busy in the coming days.

The first person to be confirmed was Tohka. During the date, Shinren kept asking about things before the appearance of Nanashi, and Tohka answered them fluently.

The most suspicious thing is that Tohka only ate a little bit of lunch at the buffet restaurant and then stopped eating.

I originally thought that the Tohka in front of me was Nanashi in disguise, but it turned out that Tohka had seen something like "girls who eat more than boys are not liked by boys" on a TV show, so she consciously controlled her food intake.

After explaining to Tohka that he didn't care about these things, Tohka cheered up again, and the world was completed with only the cafeteria owner injured.

Tohka can basically be ruled out.

At 3:15 in the afternoon, Zhen Lian stretched and said, "There are still twelve suspects..."

At this time, Shizhi brought a piece of cake and placed it in front of Zhenlian: "Zhenlian-kun, you have worked hard. Eat some sweets to replenish your sugar intake."

Although he really wanted to go with Manren to determine who was the impostor disguised as Nanashi, Shiori was also one of the thirteen suspects. In order to prevent Nanashi from becoming Shiori and maliciously interfering with Manren's judgment, all Shiori can do now is to support Manren spiritually and materially.

Seeing the cake in front of her, Zhenlian immediately perked up: "Wow, this is really a timely help! Thank you!"

When the cake was put into her mouth, the feeling of the silky sweet cream and the fluffy cake dancing on her tongue instantly relaxed all the nerves in her body. Zhenlian, who usually had a sullen face, also showed the unique happy expression of a female high school student eating sweets.

Shiori, on the other hand, looked at Mayon with a smile, this big boy who only acted like a child at times like this.

Ding Dong, the doorbell rang at this time. Shizhi went to open the door, but was frightened by a shadow that suddenly appeared from the crack of the door, and even accidentally dropped his phone.

"Shiori was really careless. It was a close call just now."

Shadow hugged the dropped phone and made a funny and slightly angry sound.

Upon closer inspection, the person holding Shiori's phone was none other than Yoshina, dressed as Frankenstein's monster.

When the door opened, Yoshino, dressed as a little witch, stood at the door.

"Dressing up for Halloween?" Shiori looked Yoshino up and down, and praised with a smile, "Very cute, Yoshino and Yoshina."

“Come on! Come on! Yoshino!”

Shionai waved her two little fists, cheering for Shiono like a cheerleader. With Shionai's encouragement, Shiono finally made up her mind and said, "Well...if you don't give me candy, I'll play tricks on you!"

"Hmm? It's Yoshino and Yoshina?" Manren poked her head out of the room. Reine and Manren had previously said that they would have a date with Yoshino in the afternoon, but they didn't expect that Yoshino would arrive early.

A few minutes later

"Sorry for the long wait. Although it's not candy, it's very delicious." Shiori, wearing an apron, brought out toasted muffins topped with ice cream from the kitchen, while Manren brought out crepes filled with strawberry cream. These were the Halloween gifts that the two humans presented to this cute little witch.

“Hmm…hmm…” When Shion saw the two delicious desserts, an expression of surprise appeared on her face.

“Mmmmm!” After Shiono put the dessert into her mouth, she was immediately impressed by the delicious taste. After patting the table, she managed to say, “It’s delicious.”

[It's time to confirm whether Yoshino is disguised as Nanashi. 】

Zhenlian thought so, but what should she ask?

Just as Zhenlian was thinking, Shiori spoke first: "Speaking of eating, Yoshino, do you remember what I made for you the first time?"

Shiono and Shionai looked at each other and replied in a low voice, "I remember it was... Oyakodon."

[That's correct. It looks like Nanashi didn't become Yoshino. 】

Shiori thought secretly, but Zhenlian didn't think so.

[It is not clear whether the Seven Sins know about the existence of Ratatosk and Fraxinus, but for now, we should prepare for the worst. 】

Shinren hesitated for a moment and said, "I was really scared at that time. Shiori was stabbed by the ice spike and became like that. But fortunately, he was not seriously injured in the end. Yoshino, do you remember how I saved Shiori?"

Upon hearing this question, Yoshino and Shiori's faces instantly turned red.

Shiori puffed his cheeks and whispered, "Mare-kun, why are you asking this question?"

In fact, Manren didn't want to mention this issue, but it cannot be ruled out that Nanashi had already arranged for Fraxinus's crew to sneak into the archive room to watch the video. And Manren and Shiori's kiss was in Yoshino's barrier, and Fraxinus's archives should not have any video footage of that.

"Um...um...Mr. Manrei and Shiori kissed..."

After hearing Yoshino's answer, Yoshino started to have bad thoughts again: "Oh, before, after Manrei was injured, she desperately ran into Yoshino's barrier just to play kissing with Shiori..."

The outspoken rabbit puppet's mouth was immediately covered by the blushing Yoshino.
