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

"It's okay. It's my honor to have a lovely sister like you."

Come to think of it, Iori Tsukino seems to be only thirteen years old now, and her debut as a singer is two years away. Besides... is it really okay for a child of this age to drink coffee?

Well, now that it's already been served, let's not say anything to spoil the mood.

"What are you talking about! I don't need a sister like you who makes terrible coffee!"

I don’t know what sore spot Xiaoyuan accidentally touched, but Yue No, who was still acting like a human being, turned her head away angrily.

“By the way, what is Tsukino’s dream?

The question came out of her mouth subconsciously, and Tsukino expressed her thoughts without hesitation.

"To be honest, I'm good for nothing except singing, but even so I want to be useful and do something... So, I, Yoshiro Tsukino, have a dream! That is to become a singer!"

……

Yoshiro Tsukino sat in the store for a long time, but in the end the store manager did not appear at the door, but Tsukino still waited for the person she was looking forward to.

Watching the setting sun gradually sink into the horizon, Tsukino said goodbye to Madoka politely and left.

"This store has stirred up a hornet's nest. No, it's stirred up a nest of elves. First it was the adoptive father of the Elf King Gokawa Shidao, then it was the future sand sculpture staff of Ratatoskr, two days ago it was the origami master from childhood, and today it was the still flat-chested little Miku..."

Standing at the door of the coffee shop, looking at the figure disappearing around the corner of the street, Xiaoyuan complained secretly in her heart.

To be honest, it's been a month since Madoka came to this store, and I haven't learned much, but I have seen a lot of characters from the original Date A Live. Mingu City is such a big city, so how come all these people just happened to gather in this remote little store?

And each of them is trouble. Origami, who was full of revenge, was just fooled by the big liar Madoka, and Miku (Tsukino), who has not yet chosen to be a human being, came running over.

Having read the script a long time ago, Xiaoyuan knew everything from the beginning.

In the not too distant future, just two years later, the fifteen-year-old girl successfully debuted as a singer under the stage name "Yoshiro Tsukino", and 90% of her fans were male.

Her acting career was going smoothly until she refused a TV producer's "deal". The unspoken rule of the entertainment industry - the py-sleeping deal - suddenly emerged and the smear scandal caused Mijiu's reputation to plummet. In particular, the 180-degree change in the attitude of her fans made her extremely painful and exhausted. In the end, she suffered from psychogenic aphonia and lost her voice.

Just when Miku (Tsukino) was desperate and wanted to end her life, he appeared and gave her the power of the elves and cured her aphonia.

Because of this experience, she no longer trusts humans, especially men, and she hates them to the extreme. She uses the power of elves to manipulate others and do whatever she wants, and has evolved into the willful child she is now who regards men as slaves and girls as cute dolls.

"...That child shouldn't have suffered such misfortune."

Although she knew what would happen in the future, Madoka was powerless to do anything.

[I want to do something for that child, Lin, it seems like you think the same as I do]

"For Tsukino, she is useless and has nothing to offer except singing. Becoming a singer is her wish. Children's wishes are the reality of the future. Adults who laugh at these dreams are simply not worthy of being human beings, and those who hinder children from realizing their wishes are even worse than garbage."

If the store manager Ishido were to persuade Tsukino to stop becoming an idol, he might be able to do so, but is it really appropriate to kill a child's dream?

[So, can we just watch? Watch that child walk into the abyss? Put our future in the hands of that so-called script?!]

Faced with Madoka's questioning, the girl fell silent.

"We are very powerless."

Nothing can be done. Nothing can be done.

The girl didn't want to take the responsibility on herself, but she knew the tragedy was going to happen and yet she ignored it. As a time traveler with a conscience, her conscience really couldn't live with it.

"I'm back... huh? Xiaoyuan, what are you doing standing at the door? Are you waiting for me to come back?!"

At this moment, the figure of store manager Ishido, holding a file bag in his hand, slowly appeared from the corner of the street, and he also noticed Xiaoyuan standing at the door of the store.

"... Stupid store manager, I'm not waiting for you on purpose!"

Looking at the smiling store manager walking over, Xiaoyuan could only pray silently for Tsukino in her heart. After all, she is just an ordinary person now...

But at the same time, a tiny murderous intent grew deep in the girl's heart.

PS: I will try not to break up the original CP, the protagonist is not a harem king, and there are so many Madoka Origami and Miku (referring to their age, after all, their breasts cannot be compared), it is more about the feelings of elders looking at children.

Chapter 10 The truth that I accidentally discovered

Is everything destiny inevitable?

It was like a chance encounter where we were attracted to each other.

Without even realizing it, the stories were connected.

"Am I really dying, Dr. Baosheng?"

His face looked heavy, and the cheerful smile he used to show when he was with Xiaoyuan was long gone, leaving only a gloomy look.

"Yes, considering our acquaintance, I'll be honest... He's already beyond help. Basically, we can say he doesn't have much time left, unless we use a medical display device. But you wouldn't do that given your personality."

The young doctor threw the medical record on the table, then closed his eyes and pressed his forehead. He had always had a headache about this stubborn man.

Money is not a problem for a man like Ishido Soichi. The doctors are well aware of this. In fact, the problem can be solved with just one operation. Medical display devices have been on the market for a long time, and clinical experiments have shown that they have very excellent effects. Many stubborn diseases that doctors think are untreatable can be easily solved.

But her daughter's death was a knot in her heart that could not be untied. No matter how much she was persuaded, Ishido Soichi chose to give up treatment.

"…That's right. I will never use the technology that took my daughter's life to treat myself."

Ishido Soichi nodded with a serious expression.

"I really can't do anything about you, an old man who is as stubborn as a donkey. By the way, how is the girl you took in recently?"

Dr. Baosheng, who had long understood that persuasion was useless, did not continue to dwell on it. Instead, he recalled the incident in which Ishido Soichi asked him to forge a birth certificate for a young girl.

"She learns very quickly. I think there will be no problem if I hand over the shop to her to inherit."

Although his face was full of worry just a moment ago, when he mentioned Madoka, Ishido Soichi smiled like a kind old father.

"Here, the child's birth certificate and various related documents from childhood to adulthood have also been prepared. Of course, this is also because you spent money to feed those guys. You don't have to thank me."

After rummaging through the file box for a while, Dr. Baosheng handed a brown file bag to Ishido Soichi.

"I really don't understand you, man. Well, whatever, it's none of my business anyway. Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back."

Dr. Baosheng waved his hand in annoyance at Ishido Soichi and made a gesture to chase him away.

"Then let's say goodbye. By the way...how long can I live?"

After taking the file bag, opening it and glancing at the documents inside, Ishido Soichi stood up and prepared to leave without any pretense. But before leaving, he still asked Dr. Baosheng this question.

"As a doctor I shouldn't say something that's uncertain, but I'll make an exception for your sake. Well, around Christmas, if you're lucky, you can live until then."

With a long sigh, Dr. Baosheng picked up the test report on the table, took a look at it, and made his own judgment.

"You're not short of money, right? Why don't you do what you want to do? At least don't leave any regrets."

Before he finished his words, Ishido Soichi's figure had already disappeared at the door. Seeing this, Dr. Baosheng just shook his head.

"I won't be able to drink your coffee anymore, uncle. If anyone is to feel sorry, I should be the one."

Looking at the empty office, Dr. Baosheng's words were filled with helplessness and regret.

……

I don't have much time left.

Coming out of the hospital and walking alone on the familiar street, Ishido Soichi couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Although he had been prepared for this a long time ago, he only truly realized it when the doctor said the conclusion himself.

The daily life with Madoka was so pleasant that he even subconsciously ignored his gradually weakening body.

Even during the six months that Tsukino had been with him, he had never had such a wonderful experience as this one. It was simply... it was as if Misora ​​was still alive.

Yes, I was just treating the child as a substitute for my daughter.

Wake up, Ishido Soichi!

Your daughter, a girl named Misora, died long ago at the hands of that magician.

If we want to trace the real source of the evil, there is no doubt that the elves who caused the Eurasian air disaster thirty years ago are the real culprits who killed his daughter!

If there were no elves, the so-called magicians and manifestation devices would not have been developed, and there would not have been a situation where a magician who was chasing an elf accidentally killed his daughter.

Logically, it should be like this, he should hate the elves, but when he recalled the blue-haired elf girl who was being hunted at that time, Ishido Soichi remembered it very clearly. He saw her face with his own eyes, and the fear and tears in the child's eyes were real. She was no different from humans, just a child.

Those deep blue eyes did not contain a trace of evil or malice.

Moreover, were the Eurasian air disaster and the Kanto air disaster really caused by the elves as those official officials said?

However, what made Ishido Soichi suspicious was not only his own guess, but also the existence of Madoka. He remembered very clearly that the sky was very gloomy and it was drizzling at that time. He rushed into the fire scene with the idea of ​​saving people, and the place where he met Madoka was at the bottom of a pit like a meteorite crater.

Obviously, the surrounding land was shattered by some force, but the girl's forehead was the only part scratched by the gravel, and there were no injuries on other parts of her body. Even her white dress was not stained with dust.

This is completely impossible.

Ishido Soichi still remembers that one of the light bullets falling from the sky landed here not long ago. How could a normal human being lie here intact, let alone be spotless?

This child might be an elf.

He made such a judgment, but what does it matter?

No matter whether they are human or elf, they cannot sit idly by when they see someone in trouble.

Afterwards, he took Madoka in to work in his shop. As they spent more time together, he noticed that Madoka was just an ordinary girl. Ishido Soichi became more and more confused. Are the magicians of DEM really protecting the world from the "hateful" elves?

Could it be that someone had set up all this chess game?

Are all the families affected like his just victims of the plan of this mastermind?

Ishido Soichi realized this by accident.

However, this has nothing to do with him anymore. As Dr. Baosheng said, he doesn't have much time left and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Regardless of whether Madoka is a human or an elf, the time she spent with me and the beautiful memories she left behind are not false or disgusting. It is enough to realize this.

The only person he couldn't let go of now was Xiaoyuan.

PS: Manager Ishido is about to leave the stage. The manager in this world is really just an ordinary kind old father and a good man, and has nothing to do with Mr. E.

Chapter 11 Christmas Eve with Laughter and Joy

A few months ago, Origami lost both her parents in a fire in Nanko-cho, Amamiya City.

She would never forget the bright red sky, the blazing streets, the "parts" that were once her parents lying in a pool of blood, the elf in white armor that stood in the fire and said "Ciao~" to her before disappearing in the black vortex... and the blue-haired boy who saved her from the elf.

After losing her parents, Origami learned about the existence of elves from her aunt, who was originally related to AST. In order to take revenge on the elves, the young Origami studied and trained to an abnormal degree.

Treat yourself as strictly as a Rakshasa, constantly hone your body and spirit, excel in all subjects, be able to put the knowledge and skills you have mastered to your own use, and erase the word "impossible" from your life.

Pouring his entire life into it, he is strengthening himself every minute and every second, just to turn himself into a sharp knife of revenge.

The best option is to eat the necessary nutrients, and sleep and rest are only needed to maintain normal physiological needs. Everything is done for revenge on the monstrous elf.

Any act of wasting time is considered a crime in Origami's eyes, but there is only one exception, and only at this time is one allowed to relax.

A rare smile appeared on the inorganic face of the origami doll.

Looking up at the sky, I saw pure white snowflakes slowly falling in the dark night.

Christmas Eve.

Although it was originally a Western holiday, it has long become a localized thing for the Japanese. It is no different from other traditional Japanese festivals. After all, no one hates celebrating holidays... Especially businesses, as long as they find a holiday name, change the label of the original goods, and hang a holiday promotion sign, they can sell them. Even if they are more expensive than before, no one can tell.

However, the lively festive atmosphere on the street had nothing to do with origami, so she ignored the brightly lit pedestrian street and turned into the alley.

After passing a familiar path, the sign of a coffee shop appeared in Origami's eyes.

Although there was a sign at the door saying "Closed for Business", Origami seemed to ignore it and pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop as if she was returning home.

Since the death of his parents, this store has, in a sense, become no different from Origami's home. After all, a place with family can be called home, otherwise it's just a place to stay.

"Manager! I've told you many times! Don't wear Santa Claus clothes, it looks weird! Origami will be scared when she comes!"

"No way! It's obviously super handsome. Don't young people nowadays like this style?"

"No one likes it. If I say no, then it's no. At least change into a more normal Santa Claus outfit."

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

Before Origami walked in, she heard a quarrel coming from upstairs, but rather than a quarrel, it was more like a daily routine of a father and daughter trying to sabotage each other.

Then, when Origami saw Manager Ishido walking down the stairs mumbling something, the smile on her face gradually became stiff, as if she had been petrified by Medusa.

So, what did she watch?

——A cyberpunk-style Santa Claus holding a wasteland-style gift box in his hand.
