I, Madoka Kaname, am just a Kamen Rider passing by

"But I killed you once! Sister Yuan, aren't you angry about that?"

"Huh? Angry? Nonsense, of course I'm angry. I was shot in the abdomen for no reason. It's impossible for anyone not to feel resentful. I almost couldn't come back. I will never forgive you in my life, Origami, I won't allow you to get away so easily."

Even Li Lin himself didn't believe the nonsense that he was not angry.

"By the way, I have one more thing I want to explain to you. I am Kamen Rider Evol. I'm sure you already know this, but I want to clarify one fact. Your parents were not killed by me."

"Yeah." Origami whispered softly, but she still didn't seem to dare to look up and meet Li Lin's eyes.

"However, I do know the true identity of the culprit who caused the death of your parents."

Instantly, Origami raised her head as if she had received an electric shock.

"The culprit's...real identity?"

Chapter 194: The False Truth

"Origami, have you ever heard of the grandmother paradox?"

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden... Well, I've heard of it. I came across this theory when I was in elementary school."

Faced with the pink-haired ball's "kind" smile, Origami, who had been through many battles and never backed down, shrank her neck for the first time and nodded cautiously.

After all, he had killed someone by mistake once, and now Origami was in an extremely embarrassing and guilty situation.

"The Grandmother Paradox: If a person goes "back in time" and kills his own grandmother before she became pregnant with his mother, would the time traveler still exist?"

Without giving Origami a chance to interrupt, Li Lin continued.

"So far, based on the accumulation of countless literary works by mankind, the results can be roughly divided into two categories."

"First, change history into other divergent lines, and unfold a different future based on the fact that your parents died. Second, what you did was actually part of the inevitable experience of history. You just went back to play a necessary role."

Although the specific situation of other worlds is not clear, if the world of the battle uses Kurumi's twelve bullets to change history, it will cause the universe to collapse and re-construct a new world line at the key point of the change. Kurumi and the people who have been used by the twelve bullets can retain the memories of the old world and replace the memories of the old world with the new world, but as a price, they will know nothing about the changed history of the new world.

"Sister Yuan, what do you want to say?"

Origami stared at Li Lin intently. Unlike Tohka, who was not as naive as she was, Origami had already understood a little bit of what Li Lin wanted to express.

"Origami, your parents died because of you. Although tracing back to the source, the real culprit was not you, but it was you who chose to pull the trigger, and it was your decision that led to the death of your parents."

"How is that possible? Traveling through time is simply not possible with modern technology! Even the magical manifestation device, which is hailed as a modern miracle, cannot exceed the speed of light and break through the boundaries of time."

Yes, the science and technology of this world is indeed not good, and the technology tree is completely off. It is not even as strong as the world of Steins;Gate. Of course, it is limited to time and space travel, and the manifestation device, after all, is essentially black technology such as magic science or magic technology. It is basically a degraded and low-profile version of the Space-Time Administration Bureau's technology tree.

It is still a system that is selective in qualifications and cannot mass-produce high-end combat capabilities.

However, the manifestation device doesn't work, aren't there spirits that can travel through time and space? For example, Tokisaki Kurumi and the like.

"Well, don't interrupt me so quickly, let me finish what I'm saying."

A cup of coffee was brought out from somewhere, and Li Lin took a sip slowly before continuing the topic.

"Because of the death of her parents five years ago, Origami Tobiichi became a magician for revenge. At a certain point in the future, she learned that the elf Tokisaki Kurumi had the ability to return people to the past, so... the girl went back to the past and fought with the phantom-like mysterious elf during the fire in Tiangong City five years ago, causing her parents to be caught in the aftermath of the battle, causing her parents... to be killed by the light bullets shot by the phantom. This is the truth behind your parents' death... Oh, Origami, what's with that desperate expression on your face?! Do you still think that your future self killed your parents with your own hands?"

As Li Lin's story went on, Origami even thought that it was her future self who had killed her parents five years ago. Her eyes gradually became dim, and it was not until the end that she looked up in surprise at the pink-haired girl who was also looking at her in surprise.

"Is not it?"

It seemed that because the topic involved parents, Origami's guilt was temporarily suppressed.

"Origami, are you serious? Oh, I didn't expect you to have this kind of fetish..."

"Nothing of the kind."

Faced with Li Lin's trouble, Origami directly took the approach of interrupting him.

"Really?"

Li Lin tilted his head with a deliberately suspicious look, while Origami looked at Li Lin calmly and seriously as usual.

"Well, really."

"Ah, I was just joking, don't mind it. By the way, although there are many coincidences in this world, Origami, the script you have is not so bloody. Be thankful that this cruel world is not so cruel to you."

Li Lin patted her shoulder gently as if to encourage Origami, and then said with a smile.

"According to what is written in Erya's proclamation, ah, that is, the cartoonist you often see slacking off in my shop all day. She is a spirit who knows everything about the past and the future. In short, based on the content of her prophecy, the death of your parents is a crucial part of your future self becoming a spirit. So from now on, no matter what tries to trick you into becoming a spirit, don't agree. Although I can't assert that this method is effective, it's better to be safe than sorry."

Tobiichi Origami becomes an elf, and then asks Kurumi to help her go back five years, which is one of the important conditions to complete the death of Origami's parents in history.

As long as Origami becomes an elf in the future, her parents would naturally not have died in the aftermath of Origami's battle with Phantom (Takamiya Mio) five years ago, but would have died in an accident a year later. Li Lin remembered that it seemed to be a car accident.

Logically speaking, if Origami fails to become an elf in the future, as long as Li Lin manages to change this established fact, the moment the historical mechanism detects and judges, the world will undergo wonderful changes, but Li Lin did not notice anything unusual.

In other words, were her efforts not enough? The possibility that Origami would become an elf in the near future was still not completely resolved.

But Li Lin also knew that as long as Origami really agreed to something, he would definitely do it and would never go back on his word.

Unless it came to a critical moment, could it be that something happened to the future Shiori, which forced Origami to accept the spirit crystal handed over by Tohmiya Mio?

Well, Li Lin couldn't completely deny this possibility.

"Is Miss Nia also an elf? And humans can become elves?! Then, Yatogami Tohka..."

Looking at the origami thoughtfully, Li Lin scratched his hair.

"That's completely wrong, Origami. Also, except for Tohka and Phantom, who are true native elves, the rest of the elves were once humans, including Madoka."

"Yeah. I know. You shouldn't turn into an elf no matter what, right? I understand. But, I still have a question."

"what?"

"The two Yuan sisters should be twins, so who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?"

"..."

Chapter 195: Blood Color Swaying in the Night Sky

Regarding the relationship between Kamen Rider Evol and Faust, and the fact that Honjo Nia is an elf.

Origami rationally did not ask any further questions. Rather, she ignored it on purpose and pretended not to hear or see it.

And after learning that her parents were dragged into the aftermath of the battle because of her, Origami also expressed her intention to resign from AST in front of Li Lin.

As long as Origami stayed away from fighting and disputes, there would naturally be no situation where she needed more powerful strength.

Although Origami still had some reservations about the "Phantom", after Li Lin promised that he would definitely defeat it for Origami, Origami had no choice but to accept the condition.

After all, she was a rookie. As a magician, Origami was at best half and half as good as Tohka, and was still at a disadvantage, not to mention Madoka who got serious that night.

After going through countless hardships, such as meditating under a waterfall, surviving in the wild with bare hands and fighting a bear, Origami was ultimately no match for the elf-like Madoka's serious spiritual energy bullet.

This attack was able to penetrate even the boundary between heaven and earth, and it was simply the result of gathering spiritual energy, without using any of the angel's additional abilities.

The gap between humans and elves is so huge, probably about the size of the galaxy on your fingertips? A lifetime of training is far inferior to the innate talent of some alien races. Humans have their limits. Except for a few cases that can reach the ceiling, most people are really just miscellaneous soldiers and cannon fodder.

Besides, one of the two strongest magicians in the world is working as a dishwasher in a certain store.

The blood-colored spiritual outfit swayed in the night.

The seemingly charming and fragile girl appears in the reflection under the moon.

When Li Lin walked out of the apartment where Origami lived, standing there waiting for her was the one who helped her prolong her life with the One-Shot Four-Bullet, Kurumi.

"You're being too gentle, Miss Manager. If you're too naive, you might end up with something good. This is the advice I give you as your ally."

"It's the same for everyone, right? Miss Savior who controls the power of time? You don't need to worry about my family affairs."

Although Origami and Miku are not related to Li Lin by blood, she still treats them as her own children.

"So, are you going to forgive Origami so easily?"

"How about taking revenge on her myself? Ah, in fact, I did have the intention to kill this girl. Not long ago, I had the idea of ​​killing Origami myself. However, I chose to restrain myself. I am a vindictive person who will never forgive my enemies easily, but I forgave Origami."

"Ah, I didn't expect that the store manager has this side. So why did you forgive Miss Origami?"

"Because she's family... Deep down in my heart, I still consider that child a family member, just like a parent will tolerate their child no matter what. Before she becomes hopeless, I will try to care for her and guide her. But this is just once. If Origami raises her gun to me again, I will kill her myself and will show no mercy. Of course... I won't have even the slightest bit of mercy for a monster like Takamiya Mio who has nothing to do with my family."

As the source of all evil in the world of Date A Live, Takamiya Mio can be described as this world's version of "Tousaka Tokiomi".

"Family? I understand..."

Kurumi seemed to be remembering something nostalgic and revealed a heart-breaking smile.

"But if Origami-san doesn't become a spirit, what about the missing item called the full bottle in your plan?"

The history of this world has been completely revealed to Kuang San by Erya and Li Lin. In this case, Kuang San naturally knows the result of Origami turning into an elf.

"It doesn't matter. Ten full bottles are enough. The only thing left is how to get the spiritual power from Tohka and Rokuko. After all, these are just props for fusion materials. The real trump card is this guy."

The black trigger and the circular gauge on it made Kuang San subconsciously think of a black hole.

The evolution starting device, also known as the black hole trigger, after Li Lin's resurrection from the dead, his danger level has reached the danger level 6.0 required for the black hole trigger, and the black hole trigger left by the weirdo is fully charged, so Li Lin does not need to find a "power bank" to charge it.

The reason why he didn't use the black hole trigger when he stopped Madoka's attack was because he didn't have it with him. He put it in the safe in the basement, and the damaged version of the Evol driver was also locked there.

"Hmm... I can feel a power that is completely different from the spiritual power of elves and the magic power of magicians. The power of Kamen Rider from another world? It seems worth looking forward to. Then I can pull Miss Shiori over to be a shield. If I face Takamiya Mio... I have a slight chance of winning."

"Yes, only slightly, but if we use Shiori to resist the Angel of Nothingness that Mio possesses, the only one who will have real trouble is the Angel of Death who will need to come up with a suitable countermeasure."

"The Pantheon? If it's true as you said, then he is indeed a very reasonable angel."

"Let's not talk about these anxious topics for now. Do you want to go to my shop for a drink? Since you saved me once, everything is free. I remember that the people who patronized my shop were all clones. It seems that you have never been here."

"Yes, I have been busy searching the world for Miss Nia's whereabouts, but I found out that Benjo Nia is hiding in your Faust."

After much trouble, she chased them all the way to an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean, and had a fight with a bunch of overly nervous magicians who lived in tents. In the end, Kuang San could only get the answer from the foaming magicians that the elf Honjo Nia had been rescued a long time ago.

Having said that, Kuang San cast a resentful look at Li Lin.

"Is it my fault?"

"......"

Ever since.

Half an hour later, the shop of a certain pink-haired girl was filled with various styles of "Kyousan".

"Hey, Kuang San, although I said that everyone is free, but you have too many people, right?!!!"

"Ah, manager, what are you talking about? You clearly said that this time, all meals for Tokisaki Kurumi are free, and we are all "Kurosaki", so what's the problem?"

As if it had built-in stereo and surround sound, numerous Kurumis said in unison.

There were even a few Kurumis who formed a band, standing in the corner and playing saxophone as BGM.

"......"

Emmmmm, it seems that there is some truth to it?

Chapter 196: The Future Chosen by the Girls

Time flies by, as if it was wiped out by a moldy octopus head, and the summer vacation with its scorching heat is gone in a flash.

The morning of the first day of school after summer vacation.

The corridor of Raizen High School in Tiangong City.

The blue-haired girl in a female school uniform, carrying a schoolbag, followed her class teacher, Okamine Tamae, at a leisurely pace.

"Shidou-san, will you really not come again in the future?" As if he had some intention, the teacher's teacher who still refused to give up asked Shiori, and Shiori answered calmly.

"From now on, cousin Shidao will not appear in this school. Could it be that the teacher wants to see him for something? If necessary, I can convey it to him."

Using the reason of studying abroad, Gokawa Shidao went through the transfer procedures and recommended his cousin from the countryside to transfer to Raizen High School. Of course, Shiori passed the entrance examination with his own ability, without relying on any relationship with Ratatoskr.

"Is that so? It's nothing. Don't worry about it."

As a teacher, Okamine Tamae naturally could not say such shameful words as wanting to marry her own student. Once she was dismissed from the school, she would have to go back and inherit the billions of assets of the Okamine Group. Although she was the daughter of a branch family, her voice and status were not low.

"Come to think of it, Shiori-san really looks a lot like Shidou. They are cousins, but they look so similar. If it weren't for the height difference, I would have thought that Shidou was wearing women's clothes and had his voice changer ready to play a trick on the teacher."

"Appearance is innate. It is something that our parents gave to me and Shidao and cannot change. It's not just the teacher who has complained about us cousins ​​like this."

She played the role of Shiori perfectly, and the girl's words were impeccable.
