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

Her story is mentioned in the comic spin-off of Date A Live, and she appears in volume 13 of the original novel. Yes, it's Nia's story, but unfortunately the third season may not be able to reach that point.

Season 4 of my lifetime.

By the way, the origami master in the spin-off is surprisingly more serious (probably)

Chapter 44: Homura Akemi Search

Her long pink hair stretched out to the end of the universe, her golden eyes revealed a gentle look, and she carefully embraced a blue planet in her arms. However, her figure was so illusory, like a goddess who was silently watching over humanity in a dimension that humans could not observe.

It's clearly something that doesn't exist, but it gives people the illusion that it did exist.

That is not an image that can be simply drawn by humans. If I must say it, it is like a trace left in this world by God through human hands.

Such an incredible painting is placed in a gilded frame, and its entirety can be clearly seen even through bulletproof glass.

"… Kaname Madoka."

After whispering this familiar yet unfamiliar name softly, Homura Akemi wiped away the tears that had somehow overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

This is the name he heard from his acquaintance, his senior who also works at Future Technology Company, Kaname Shunko... and her good-for-nothing son, Kaname Tatsuya.

Ahhh...it's not just Tatsuya.

Like an electric current passing through the nerves, the dusty memories once again emerged from the depths of Homura Akemi's mind.

Fourteen years ago.

Someone she knew had mentioned the same name.

——Sayaka Miki.

A classmate in junior high and high school, a lively girl who was always full of energy. She had short hair when we first met, but later on she was said to have grown her hair long and flowing because she had a crush on someone... ahem, I'm getting off topic.

Sayaka and Homura Akemi are not ordinary classmates. Four years ago, when she was in junior high school, Homura Akemi was involved in an incident about Kamen Rider. It was from that time that she learned about the darkness hidden under peace... Of course, these are not the point. What Homura Akemi cares about is the scene when she first met Sayaka. At that time, she simply thought that Sayaka was very familiar with people.

But thinking about it now, Sayaka at that time obviously knew me. She even called out Kaname Madoka's name after getting drunk at a class reunion a few years ago.

That's right, Sayaka must be hiding something from her.

……

Time passes extremely quickly, and technology and the city are changing with each passing day.

By the time Homura Akemi realized it, she had already graduated from college and officially entered the adult society, successfully transitioning from a college student to a corporate slave.

The physical billboards of the past have long been replaced by virtual projections. Cleaning robots occasionally pass by the roadside. Almost all the scenery of the old era has disappeared. When I look up from the books and garbage dumps, the world has turned into the future.

Feeling impressed by the progress of the times, Homura Akemi walked alone on the streets of Mitakihara.

Her job was stable and she was rarely scolded by her superiors. To be precise, Homura Akemi had a very happy life. Her heart disease was cured and her myopia disappeared without her noticing.

It was as if she was blessed by God. She would never lose money when buying lottery tickets. She would always win in any raffle. She would always catch discounts when buying things she wanted. The teachers at school and the seniors at work were all unusually kind and friendly. Although they would scold Homura when she did something wrong, it was mostly for her own good. The situation of seniors bullying the juniors, which was common in Japanese society, almost never happened.

It's not just Homura Akemi. Even Mami Tomoe, Sayaka Miki, and Kyoko Sakura have similar wonderful experiences as her. Even the acquaintance of these people seems to be arranged by gravity or fate.

——The life of a girl named Homura Akemi.

It's really too abnormal.

Everything goes smoothly, everything is stable and peaceful, nothing unexpected will happen, and no misfortune will ever happen to her.

It was clearly arranged.

She should have noticed it earlier, but she subconsciously ignored it and took it for granted that she had a life surrounded by luck.

Her thoughts were in a mess and a feeling of uneasiness was growing in her heart. It was really hard to accept that her entire life was unfolding as if it was a script written by someone. If she said that everything she had experienced and the friends she had met were all puppets designed to make her happy...this would be like denying the life she had lived seriously.

Can not accept.

I must find Sayaka Miki and ask her for clarification.

What if the other party refuses to say?

At that time we will have no choice but to use force to make the other party surrender, right?

Wrapped in a green shell, the green dial is full of a futuristic feel, and there is also a green belt in the pocket.

That was a relic left behind by a bad Kamen Rider four years ago. In fact, he left behind not only the belt, but also a USB flash drive containing information about the Kamen Riders and the design drawings of the Time Demon.

"Miki Detective Agency?"

Looking at the words projected virtually, Homura Akemi sighed helplessly.

Using force is ultimately a bad idea. After all, the two of them are friends no matter how you put it. Although there were some conflicts in the beginning, they eventually eased off and accepted each other.

……

"It's been a long time, Flame."

Her long blue hair fluttered in the wind and she was wearing neat clothes. She looked more like a handsome young man than a woman, well, if you ignored the two lumps of fat on her chest that were much fatter than Homura's, and that pretty face.

A girl with a strong presence.

Although she is a woman, at first glance you will sincerely feel that Sayaka is a mature and reliable detective.

"Yeah, it's been a long time, Sayaka."

It was still the familiar tone and the familiar face, but this time her purpose of coming here was not to reminisce about the past. If things went wrong, there might even be a fight.

"Why, our genius girl who got admitted to MIT, what's the matter with me...ah, I can't call her a girl now, after all, we are all aunts who are almost 30 years old."

Although she was admitted to a famous American university, Homura Akemi eventually returned to Mitakihara City, which carried the memories of her junior high and high school days.

"You're still speechless as always. Well, never mind. I'm not here to argue with you. I have something serious to ask you."

Raising her eyebrows, Homura Akemi's expression was particularly serious at the moment.

"Wow? Serious matter, is it a request for the theft of company secrets? For this kind of thing, why not ask the police to help with senior Asami first instead of asking the detective?"

Sayaka responded to Homura Akemi with a teasing tone, but didn't take her words to heart. She just sat on the sofa and continued watching the baseball game.

"Who is that, Kaname Madoka?"

"..."

Suddenly, a strange atmosphere of silence filled the not very spacious room. It was not until a long time later that Sayaka slowly raised her head and looked at Homura Akemi. At this time, Homura Akemi noticed that Sayaka's smiling face was gone, and now there was only helplessness and bitterness in her eyes.

"...From whom did you hear this name?"

"It doesn't matter who I learned it from! Tell me, Kaname Madoka, who is she!"

PS: This chapter is about what happened to Homura Akemi before she came to the Battle World (insert story)

Chapter 45: Electronic Music Genius Xiao Gonggong

"Sure enough, Sayaka, you do know who the owner of that name is."

Staring at Sayaka whose expression changed drastically, Homura Akemi became more certain of her inner thoughts, but the other party did not have any intention of telling her.

"Tell me, Sayaka! Who is Kaname Madoka?"

"Is there finally such a day? I didn't expect that after fourteen years, you would still ask me this question. It was you who denied that you knew Kaname Madoka back then."

Sayaka poured herself a glass of red wine slowly. Holding a wine glass in her hand, the mellow red wine sparkled with gorgeous color under the moonlight outside the window.

The red wine glass was shaking, and the corners of the girl's mouth seemed to be stained with blood.

Sayaka held the bottom of the cup with her little finger and rubbed the rim of the cup slightly with her index finger.

"Why are you so obsessed with the truth? Or is it because it's already a thing of the past? It would be too unromantic to pursue it any further, transfer student~"

That was what Sayaka called her a long time ago. The last time I heard this word was in junior high school.

"I want to know, that's all. If I don't understand, I won't be able to sleep well!"

No matter what, no matter what the cost, she wanted to know who the girl in the painting, Kaname Madoka, was.

"Isn't it good to have an ordinary life? You are denying everything that idiot did."

Shaking the wine glass, Sayaka's expression looked particularly sad in the darkness.

"Please, tell me, Sayaka."

With her hands clasped together, Homura Akemi's attitude was extremely sincere, but Sayaka still maintained an unyielding attitude. Homura's current behavior was as if she was teasing a dragon's reverse scale.

"I'm sorry, but I made a promise with God after all... Ah, I suddenly remembered that Kyoko went back to Kazama to see her sister."

Sayaka took out W's driver out of habit, but when she recalled that Anzi had returned to her mother's house this morning, she took out the Lost Driver from her left pocket.

"Listen carefully, Homura Akemi. This is the final warning. Everything will eventually be destroyed. This was designed from the beginning. Now fade away and enjoy the ordinary life that a normal human being should have."

After all... this is a precious future that was exchanged for the lives of your lover and my best friend. It is precisely because of this that Sayaka does not want Homura Akemi to delve too much into Madoka's affairs.

No girl would die because of magical girls. Anko's family did not fall apart, her senior's head was still intact, Kyousuke's hands did not lose sensation, and she became an internationally renowned violinist... He and Anko were also married and together. Some time ago, they had a big fight over who would give birth to the baby. Well, they both went to the hospital together in the end.

"I reject!"

"Although internal fighting is not my intention, it seems that we have nothing to talk about. If you want to know the answer... come and try to defeat me, but you have no chance of winning. As long as I am still in this world, I will be the strongest Kamen Rider."

Snapped.

That was the sound of a wine glass falling to the ground, and liquid that looked like blood spilled out.

As the words fell, a strange memory block in black and white with a golden gem in the middle appeared in Sayaka's hand. It was not Sayaka's favorite joker, nor was it her exclusive bubble memory block.

Is it unknown memory?

She carefully searched her mind for memories about Kamen Rider, but found nothing. As if seeing through this, Sayaka said to Homura with a sly smile.

"Don't recall it. This thing is a gift from God to the apostles. He said so."

Sayaka looked a little embarrassed, as if she had recalled some bad memories.

"Ultima!"

--Mirror.

The moment the memory was inserted into the drive, a mirror reflecting a blurry phantom appeared behind Sayaka.

"Transformation."

As the words fell, the mirror exploded and scattered instantly. The same white figure was reflected in the countless fragments, and then the fragments turned into wings that wrapped around Sayaka's body.

After a moment, the wings spread out and a white figure appeared among them.

"Although I'm only borrowed temporarily, feel the difference in power, Ms. Homura. I'm Kamen Rider Ultima now."

That's right, just as Sayaka said, this memory is not her power, but a treasure obtained from a certain Ring Principle who wishes to remain anonymous.

The memory is limited to that available in this world, and it does not have any special abilities. Of course, as a compensation for the usage restrictions, Ultima will not be affected by any acceleration or time stop effects. At the same time, both punching and kicking power can reach over 100T.

The white knight said this to Homura Akemi, who was holding the watch dial with slightly trembling hands, after shaking her skirt.

So strong...

She looks incredibly strong, but not only that, Homura Akemi can also feel other things.

The higher level of life is like the gap between humans and God.

The body was shaking instinctively, and I couldn't help but want to retreat and escape.

But there is no time to back down.

If she is scared by just a few words from Sayaka, then she is not worthy of being a Kamen Rider. After all, Sayaka is not the only knight!

——A dark green driver with a slightly metallic sheen on the surface, and a screen in the middle made of some incredible material.

Unexpectedly, Sayaka stood there obediently and did not take any action to prevent Homura Akemi from transforming. Perhaps she felt that she had a sure win from the very beginning. However, as the dial was inserted, passionate electronic music also came out from the belt at the same time.

Beyon Driver

WOz!

Action!

As the dial was inserted, a huge green electronic watch appeared behind Homura Akemi.

"Transformation."
