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

"Well... No, not only am I not uncomfortable, but I am even more excited, especially with your resistance, Lin. Well, my conscience doesn't hurt at all."

At the same time, in the Nascita coffee shop on the other side.

After casually ordering a cup of "Black Hole" coffee with a strong-sounding name, Homura Akemi sat down at her seat.

Probably because it was early, there were not many customers in the store, and besides her, there was only Murasame Reine. However, Murasame Reine seemed to have discovered something, and occasionally frowned and observed Akemi Homura with a scrutinizing look.

"Well……"

Although she noticed the other person's gaze, Homura Akemi had no idea that the woman with dark circles under her eyes was the Origin Spirit. She just thought that her outfit might be a little strange.

——Murasame Reion, the analyst of the airship Fraxinus, and the best friend and right-hand man of Fraxinus's commander, Itsuka Kotori.

Since this is what is written on Erya’s angel, this woman should be trustworthy, right?

Without paying attention to the occasional glances from Murasame Reine, Homura Akemi looked towards the counter. The person standing there making coffee was none other than the future "savior" and "Elf King" Gokawa Shido whom she was looking for.

A blue-haired boy with androgynous appearance and not very tall.

No matter how you look at it, he's just an ordinary high school student... At most, he might look good in women's clothing, but other than that, there's nothing special to note.

But since it is written in this book, there must be no omissions.

Ok?

Inadvertently, Homura Akemi looked at the photo hanging on the wall, and a familiar pink color and a man she didn't want to see appeared there.

Kaname Madoka... and the smiling Ishidō Sōichi.

"..."

Covering her chest, Homura Akemi inexplicably felt a sense of suffocation and discomfort, and no matter how deep she breathed, it couldn't relieve it.

what on earth is it?

Cold... cold... calm down, Homura Akemi. At this time, all she needs to do is check. Yes, that's right. As long as she uses the invincible volume of accusations to investigate, the answer she wants will naturally appear in the volume of accusations.

Ratziel is the most powerful omniscient angel.

This store, the manager of Nascita, and her past.

——Everything about Kaname Madoka.

Just keep searching and all the puzzles will be solved.

"..."

However, facing the answer shown in the obituary, Homura Akemi opened her mouth in surprise.

-404

Chapter 60: As if being caught cheating

The Ratziel is a huge book similar to the Bible with a cross on it. The angel itself contains information retrieval pages and blank pages.

Its ability is the omniscience of obtaining intelligence. If there is anything beyond the future, something happening from now on, who is doing what, etc., any information you want can be found on the intelligence retrieval page.

Although its combat capability is not as good as other angels, its convenient performance is unmatched by other angels.

However, there is an exception.

Angels with strong spiritual power can block the search of the Whispering Announcement. For example, through the Whispering Announcement, Homura Akemi learned about the deeds of the three sinners and the reason why the original elves were born. The elves were originally human beings. But she and Niya could not see the true appearance of the original elf itself and where she was.

After accidentally noticing the photos on the wall of the coffee shop, Homura Akemi quickly flipped through the pages of the book and began to investigate, and the results made her feel a little relieved.

Ishido Soichi had nothing to do with Kamen Rider Evol, never been to Mars, let alone Pandora's Box and Evolto. He died of heart failure on Christmas Eve five years ago, and someone else took over the store.

However, when Homura Akemi tried to retrieve relevant information about Madoka Kaname, she learned a fact that surprised her.

"Hmm, can't retrieve..."

Could it be that the time traveler is unable to retrieve it?

No, that's impossible. Homura Akemi has already tried it. Although she is not a native of this world, her existence can be found in the Whispering Volume.

This Kaname Madoka might have something.

——Maybe this guy is the Origin Spirit.

In other words, Kaname Madoka has a close connection with the equally untraceable Origin Spirit.

The ever-changing future could not be checked, and Homura Akemi could agree with this phenomenon, but why couldn't she even read the established past? Not only could it not be searched, the Confessions seemed to have gone on strike, and after a few twitches, it collapsed powerlessly, leaving only the three characters 404 on the page to indicate that it had tried its best.

What concerned Homura even more was that every time she saw Kaname Madoka's photo or heard these three words, she couldn't calm down. It was like a girl who had been in love for many years and finally got the news that her missing lover was still alive.

Bitter, sweet, and at a loss, the emotions were so high that I couldn't restrain myself from rushing out the door, wishing I could rush to where she was immediately. He locked her tightly to his side with an iron chain, so that she could never leave him again.

"...I can't understand it. At a time like this, I can only try to ask the person himself, right?" Homura Akemi muttered softly while looking around. Before she knew it, night had fallen. Murasame Reine had left while she was flipping through the book, and Artemisia also disappeared. Only the part-time worker Mr. Savior was left standing behind the counter, wiping the table.

Well...all Homura Akemi needs to do now is wait and hope.

The store manager can run away, but the store cannot. As long as she stays here, she will always wait for Kaname Madoka. In fact, Homura Akemi, who can't wait to see Kaname Madoka and let her solve her doubts, has prepared fifty ways to delay time.

Tonight, I must go to Kaname-maru.

Completely forgetting that she came here to confirm the situation of the savior with her own eyes, Homura Akemi clenched her fists, and under Shidou's subtle gaze, she encouraged herself.

"Hey, is the person in that photo the manager of this store?"

Since she was free anyway, Homura Akemi started to talk to Shido Gokawa in a tentative tone.

Homura Akemi's appearance is very deceptive. She is obviously an auntie who is almost 30 years old, but perhaps because she takes good care of herself, time has not left too many traces on her body. If you don't know Homura Akemi's actual age, you might think she is a female college student at first glance, right?

"Sister Yuan? Ah, yes, she is indeed the manager of this Nascita."

This was not something that should be kept secret or not be confessed. In fact, the residents around here all knew that there was such a coffee shop in this remote alley, and they also knew that Kaname Madoka was the manager.

"Sister Yuan?"

Homura Akemi was a little concerned about this statement, and repeated the name that Shidou blurted out.

"The store manager and my father are old acquaintances. Three years ago, I often brought my sister to this store. The store manager took good care of us. It was like a sister."

"Sister?"

"Yes, very gentle and beautiful..."

Although it was strange that Homura Akemi looked so eager for knowledge, Shidou no longer had the idea of ​​hiding it after considering that she was a cute girl who was as pretty as the store manager.

Yes, the reason why Shidou told Homura Akemi about Madoka without reservation was entirely based on the fact that Homura Akemi was a beautiful girl with a similar appearance to Madoka Kaname, but a different style. If it was a middle-aged man with a wretched face... Shidou would probably have been ready to pick up the broom and politely ask him to leave.

"Hmm, um...I see."

……

"Huh...shopping is really tiring."

The time travel lady, still wearing men's clothes, followed Xiaoyuan with bags in her hands. She originally just wanted to have some fun, but ended up going to have lunch after taking pictures. After lunch, she might as well go to see a movie. Since she was watching the movie, she might as well buy some clothes. After buying clothes, she found that it was already diva time. Why not have dinner outside and visit the lingerie store at the same time?

Finally, with someone's face blushing and Madoka's teasing, the two came out of the mall when night had already fallen.

"Then get used to it. Besides, you are at Danger Level 5.0, beyond humans. You won't get tired so easily, right?"

"It's not the body that is tired, it's the heart..."

"Well, Lin, is it really so annoying to go shopping with me?!" Non-existent tears were spinning in her eyes. Xiaoyuan, who was crying fake tears, covered her face and "sobbed" with a choked voice.

"It's no use pretending to be pitiful, Xiaoyuan. You pushed me down on the bed a few nights ago and made my back ache the next day. Do you have the right to cry? I should be the one crying. It's really pitiful to be bullied by you who relies on your angel status!"

The spirit crystal and angel that Takamiya Mio forced on the two of them were from Samsara Paradise, well, they were angels with the power to rule the world, one of the three strongest upper angels. By the way, even if a few days passed inside the world covered by Samsara Paradise, it was only one night outside.

"Well, if you must investigate, Lin is the one who led me astray."

Xiao Yuan stuck out her tongue playfully and pushed open the glass door of Nascita. While the two of them were performing a double act, they had already walked to the door of Nascita.

"Al, we're back...Pfft?!"

Madoka looked at the clock pointing to ten, Shidou wiping glasses behind the counter, and Homura Akemi sitting in the corner, and felt a little flustered.

Although her age and height were a little off, Madoka was certain that the black-haired woman sitting in the corner was none other than Homura Akemi herself.

She hurriedly tried to stop the "boy" who was carrying a bunch of things behind her from coming in, but before that, "he" had already pushed open the door and walked in.

All of a sudden.

The four of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

A moment later, Artemisia, who had just finished a shower, came down from upstairs, wiping her wet hair with a towel and looking confused and at a loss. She looked at the four people in confusion.

Shido Gokawa looked relieved, as if he was happy that Madoka, who had been single for a long time, finally found a boyfriend.

Kaname Madoka looked stunned and embarrassed, wanting to push her "boyfriend" away.

The boy with pink ponytail exclaimed, "What the hell is going on, Madoka?" and tried to stop Madoka from pushing him out.

And... Homura Akemi, with a complicated expression on her face, was grabbing her chest which was still without any movement, and looking at the two people pushing and shoving each other at the door with a frown.

——Is the timing of my coming down inappropriate? And what on earth happened?

She retreated awkwardly, and then, as if worried, Artemisia poked her head out from the corner of the stairs to observe the situation on the first floor.

Chapter 61: The Ultimate of Human Emotions

Shura field.

Usually it refers to having affairs with multiple women or maintaining ambiguous relationships with them at the same time, which eventually leads to the girls becoming jealous of each other and asking the man to choose one of them.

Of course, that kind of thing has nothing to do with Gokawa Shido, an honest man who has only been confessed to by his childhood sister so far... at least not for now, and the same situation may happen in the future.

Kotori, who recalled the commander mode, said seriously that in order to save the world, the organization has appointed you, Shido Gokawa, to be a gigolo to seduce elf girls and make them shy... What kind of setting is this for a third-rate light novel male protagonist!

Ahem, let’s go off topic, let’s get back to the topic.

As for why Shidao suddenly talked about this, it was naturally because the boss of the place where he worked was involved in the crisis of Shura Field. Or perhaps Sister Yuan hooked up with someone else's boyfriend, and his girlfriend came to his house to wait for him?

The situation is very complicated now, especially after Shidou carefully observed Kaname Madoka's "boyfriend". After all, the two look too similar... Why does it feel like the situation is getting more and more chaotic?

So it turns out that the sister fell in love with the brother, and the brother’s girlfriend came to catch them in the act?

While everyone was still staring at each other in amazement, Shidao had already completed the entire plot and character settings in his mind.

Since it is the other party's family affair, it is better not to get involved. Although Xiaoyuan has always regarded Shidao as a younger brother, Shidao is very clear about this matter. The current situation is already very chaotic, and he will only cause more trouble if he runs over.

Thinking of this, Shidao tiptoed to the back door and slipped out, while the others didn't seem to care whether Shidao stayed or left, and the stalemate remained. Artemisia, who was hiding in the dark, also retracted her head after noticing Shidao slipping away. After all, what was next was his own emotional entanglement, and it would be better for an outsider like her to shut up and go back to sleep.

"Hoo... Kaname Madoka, huh? I have something to ask you."

Homura Akemi is very conflicted. She had even resigned from her job and come to this different world just to meet Kaname Madoka and resolve her doubts... but now she can't utter a word.

There are thousands of words in my heart, but I can't say them out once they come to my mouth.

And what exactly is going on with this feeling? Why does my heart hurt so much just by watching Kaname Madoka holding another man's hand...

"...Humura."

Xiaoyuan's voice was choked with sobs as she gently called the name of her lover who had never met her.

The same is true for Xiaoyuan and the girl.

Reluctance and regret... Actually, there have always been...

"Ha - as expected, even though this is our first meeting, you use such an intimate name."

In Japan, even people who know each other will not call each other by their first names easily, because it is impolite. The only people who will call each other by their first names, or use more advanced nicknames, are parents or very close friends.

"You do know me, right? Kaname Madoka, tell me the truth! I know very well that I have never known anyone like you since I was a child. There is nothing vague or ambiguous in my memory."

She had flipped through her childhood diaries hundreds of times, called everyone in her address book, and visited her classmates and teachers at the church school in person, but none of them knew the girl named Kaname Madoka.

The only person who knows the truth, Sayaka Miki, her best friend who spent her youth with her, refuses to tell anyone.

——It was as if she had never existed.

It is as ethereal as smoke and dust, as illusory as a dream, and as a mirage, visible but untouchable.

"I can confirm that I have never met you, but my heart, the instinct engraved in my soul and DNA, tells me that we did know each other at some time in the past, and it was more than just a simple friendship."

Homura Akemi's life is very happy. As long as she hopes, she will get what she wants naturally and easily. Therefore, she does not have intense happiness, but instead has no deep despair. She lives a peaceful life like a plant.

Until I saw Tatsuya draw that picture and murmured the name Kaname Madoka in a daze.
