Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"What are you talking about? Mimori-san, there's no adult here...Wow! There really is one!"

The petite girl next to her, named Feng, was very surprised when she saw Dan Masamune: "This is the third adult I saw in Kivotos after that adult named Dan Lidou!"

"Hmm...it looks really strange..."

Tsubaki, who was tall and had a good figure, was also nodding in a daze. Although she looked dazed, she was still paying close attention to what was going on around her.

"...These three people are students, right?"

Tan Zhengzong also looked at the three students in front of him with an appraising gaze. However, since this was his first time in Kivotos and the first time he had seen a girl with a halo behind her head, he still looked at the three women with his usual adult gaze.

However, the look was indeed a bit fierce. After he stared at them for a few seconds, the three girls in front of him looked a little nervous.

"What, what's going on? Why do I feel a little scared by this adult's eyes... Is he really a good person?"

Feng nervously leaned closer to Mimori, "B-but as a mature lady, you shouldn't be afraid of things like this, right?"

"Feng, the other party's eyes are just a little harsh, that's all. You can't face him with such a rude attitude."

Sansen was able to maintain his expression. "We've seen many people with fierce eyes but kind hearts, haven't we? If you want to be a qualified Yamato Nadeshiko, you must learn to remain calm and face any situation perfectly. This is what we in the training club should do."

At this point, Sansen could tell that the adult in front of him was standing here without a clear destination. Perhaps he was... lost?

"Sir, my name is Sansen. How can I help you?"

408. It’s like a pillow is given to a person who is sleepy, and a brothel is found when one is thirsty.

Dan Zhengzong thought for a moment and said, "What a coincidence! The place I'm going to is the Hyakki Yagyo Academy."

The three students looked at each other, and then believed what Tan Zhengzong said. They thought that Tan Zhengzong really wanted to go to the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, but couldn't find the way on the road because he was unfamiliar with the place.

"This is such a coincidence, this..." Sansen looked at Tan Zhengzong in front of her and was speechless for a moment, because she found that she seemed to have not told him the other party's name yet.

"Just call me Tan Zhengzong."

"...Mr. Tan Zhengzong, we have now completed our food procurement mission and are planning to return to school." Sansen smiled at Tan Zhengzong in front of him: "Since you are on your way, why not come with us?"

Tan Zhengzong followed the three people from the training department and headed for the One Hundred Demons Night Parade Academy. Although this destination was just something Tan Zhengzong casually said, the phrase "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" was a well-known colloquialism in Tan Zhengzong's country.

The clothes of the three students in front of him also brought back memories for Tan Zhengzong. So he concluded that the Hyakki Yagyo should be a school in a city similar in culture to the one where he lived before. So, wouldn't it be a good idea to take this opportunity to visit?

"Mr. Dan Zhengzong, do you have any work to do at the One Hundred Demons Night Parade?" Sansen smiled gently. "The work of an adult must be very hard, right?"

Sansen chatted as they walked, and Dan Zhengzong thought for a moment and talked about his time as the president of Huanmeng as his work experience.

"Although I don't know what your daily life is like here, of course as an adult, especially as a company manager, every decision you make must be made with the company in mind."

When Tan Zhengzong said this, his expression was resolute, which was indeed what he thought. When he was in charge of Huanmeng, everything he did was indeed for the benefit of Huanmeng.

Although he stole Danrito's Chronicle, although he used Kamen Riders as products managed by the company, and although he sold hundreds of millions of Kamen Rider Chronicles in an attempt to control the lives of all mankind, these things were ultimately for the long-term prosperity of the Dream Company.

Although Tan Zhengzong is evaluated by ordinary people's moral standards, he is an out-and-out cruel person, a villain who wants to subvert the world and control everyone's life.

Feng, who was standing by, also chimed in: "I heard that adults often have to work overtime and stay up late. Is that true? They have to work very late every day before they can rest, and then have to go back to work the next day... It's scary to think about it. Is this kind of life real?"

Tan Zhengzong was amused by Feng's curious look. When he didn't need to act like a leader, Tan Zhengzong didn't mind smiling, although his smile reminded people of the "out-of-print uncle".

"Most adults are probably like this, but once you reach a certain height, you're freed from the hard labor. At that point, those in higher positions have a more important role to play than those who work harder."

"How to perfectly manage the employees under you and improve the efficiency of the entire organization, etc., these are all things that those in power need to consider."

Feng shook his head fearfully. "It's so scary. I feel like the adults are living in dire straits..."

"It's nothing more than responsibility."

Tan Zhengzong explained Feng's fear: "Most people can live a carefree life as long as they let go of those responsibilities. But now that you have become an adult, you must learn to shoulder responsibilities."

Although Sansen felt that the face of Tan Zhengzong in front of him was a bit fierce and did not seem like a good person, as the conversation between Tan Zhengzong and them gradually unfolded, the atmosphere between them also became slightly relaxed with the conversation.

After crossing two streets, the surrounding architectural style gradually changed from the original mixed modern style to the style of the country that Tan Zhengzong was familiar with. After turning another corner, the nearby buildings had completely become what Tan Zhengzong was familiar with.

However, the surrounding buildings were too retro. Although there were lights, wires, air conditioner units and other things dotted around, the style was too close to the architectural clusters that appeared in costume dramas on TV. Tan Zhengzong once thought he had walked into a film and television city.

"Mr. Tan Zhengzong, from here, you can see the Hyakki Yagyo school district in the distance."

Sansen reminded Tan Zhengzong to look at the other side of the lake. When he raised his head, Tan Zhengzong saw the huge cherry tree that seemed to cover the sky.

"This is truly... a stunning view."

Even Tan Zhengzong couldn't help but be drawn to the enormous cherry tree in the distance. Rising from the school district in the middle of the lake, taller than any other building, the magnificent cherry tree resembled a giant canopy.

Tan Zhengzong had seen many ordinary cherry trees, and even clusters of cherry blossoms in the forest were not surprising to him.

But a cherry blossom tree like this, which is bigger than an island in the middle of a lake, is a scene that could never appear in reality, and Tan Zhengzong has definitely never seen one.

"Isn't it beautiful? This is our One Hundred Demons Night Parade Academy."

Mimori proudly said to Dan Masamune in front of him, "This is the scenery that Hyakki Yagyo Academy is proud of. Anyone who sees this cherry tree for the first time here will be amazed."

After entering the academy, Dan Zhengzong saw many familiar sights. The only difference was that the pedestrians on the street were mostly intelligent robots, as well as giant cats, dogs, great tits and other animal citizens.

"No matter how many times I see it, I still feel a little bit uncomfortable..." Tan Zhengzong tried to convince himself not to be surprised by the animal citizens. "Is your city maintained by these robots?"

Sansen explained dutifully, "Kivotos is now fully intelligent, so 80% of the jobs in the city are filled by robots."

Tan Zhengzong looked at the robots coming and going. Apart from the fact that they each had a display on their face, their actions were basically the same as those of ordinary people.

They appear in convenience stores, bakeries, and as shopping guides at the entrance of supermarkets. There are even robots in suits and ties running to work.

"You just said... there are no other adults in this city?" Tan Zhengzong suddenly remembered something and asked, "Then why?"

"Why..." Sansen didn't know how to answer Tan Zhengzong's question. After thinking about it for a while, she could only shake her head regretfully: "I'm so sorry, we don't know the answer to this question either."

"That's it."

Tan Zhengzong snorted in disapproval, and more questions arose in his mind about the irrationality of this world.

However, Tan Zhengzong quickly put these doubts aside. After walking a little further, he found a girl in a kimono standing behind a food cart with the words "Hyakuya-do" written on it and shouting out her wares.

"Hyakuyado's latest dessert, the sweet sakura bean-filled daifuku, wouldn't you like to try it?"

The girl who was selling her wares with all her might was Shizuko. Today was Shizuko's turn to set up the stall. In addition to expanding the influence of Hyakuya-do, this was also a preparation for the upcoming festival.

The Hyakki Yagyo United Academy has always been fond of festivals, and even has a festival operation committee specifically for the overall planning.

"Are children this young already doing business?"

Tan Zhengzong seemed to be very confused about this strange business behavior. He looked at Sansen beside him and asked curiously, "How old is that kid? Is he setting up a street stall now?"

"That child...?"

Sansen and the other two looked at each other. Of course, they knew who the kid who was hawking was.

He chuckled three times and said, "Mr. Dan Masamune, that's the poster girl of Hyakuya-do, Miss Shizuko. She's also the owner of Hyakuya-do and the chairperson of the Hyakki Yagyo Festival Management Committee. Don't be fooled by Miss Shizuko's petite figure, she's a very capable person."

"And in Kivotos, doing business is a common thing for students."

In Kivotos, it is not uncommon to see owners like Shizuko opening traditional coffee shops. Many students have their own small businesses.

For example, the Millennium Ministry of Truth sells their own security defense system on the market, students from the Odyssey Marine Academy even dress up as bunny girls to open a cruise ship casino, and there is also the Highland Railway Academy that operates a tourist railway route.

Almost every school has a group of students doing this kind of thing. For Kivotos, this is just a common thing. Otherwise, where would the club's funds come from?

“…What a strange world.”

Tan Zhengzong took another look at the three people from the training club beside him. Even Sansen, who looked the gentlest, had a rifle on her shoulder. Chun and Feng also had their own weapons in their hands. This was a scene that he could never see in his original world.

No, or rather, you can see it, but it is definitely not such a peaceful style.

“Da da da da!!”

A burst of gunfire rang out on the street not far away, which made Tan Zhengzong's eyes focus instinctively. He immediately took out the driver from his pocket and buckled it around his waist, looking around, looking for the source of the gunfire.

"Tsubaki, protect Mr. Tan Zhengzong."

Although Sansen directed Tsubaki to react, the others, as well as the pedestrians and students passing by, all seemed accustomed to the sound of gunfire.

There was still a circle of students in front of Jingzi's street vendor stall. Other vendors were doing their business as usual, each going about their own business, and no one paid any attention to the gunshots.

"Mr. Tan Zhengzong, there's no need to be so nervous. It's just something that happens from time to time."

Sansen told Dan Zhengzong not to be so nervous and repeated the function of the halo.

Among the Kivotos, bullets and guns wouldn't cause much harm. Therefore, you'd occasionally see students arguing over something that escalated into a gunfight, but in those cases, someone would usually intervene.

“…It’s getting more and more magical, this place called Kivotos.”

Although Tan Lidou did not try to obstruct Tan Zhengzong's whereabouts, he also sent someone to follow Tan Zhengzong.

Even with the power to stop time, Tan Zhengzong ran a considerable distance in one breath, but for Yumei, who was also a Collapse Originator, as long as there was no head-on battle, it would not be difficult to find the only two adults in the entire Kivotos by spending more time.

"You mean, that guy Dan Zhengzong ran off to the Hundred Demons Night Parade?"

After returning to the president's office, Dan Lidou listened to Yumei's report with a strange expression on his face. "What a coincidence! I haven't come across any of the larger school districts so far. The only ones left are Hyakki Yagyo, Shanhaijing, and Chifuyu. I didn't expect that old guy Dan Masamune is quite capable of running."

"Is there anything I need to do?" Yumei asked.

"What can you do? You can't deal with the power of Dan Masamune after he transforms into Kamen Rider."

Danrito is well aware of Chronos's power, which is the ability of Dan Masamune after transformation. "Aside from the Kamen Rider armor that is resistant to pause, everyone else is just a bunch of useless people. Although his ability is outdated, it's still easy for him to deal with those who can't withstand the time pause."

"Just follow him. I'll meet up with you after I finish investigating Eridu."

Dan Lidou was currently in Liyin's fortress city, carefully investigating the entire city. He wanted to understand why Dan Zhengzong had been resurrected and how the malicious virus had invaded the fortress city's defense system.

"Could it be possible that this guy Yake can make a comeback?"

Dan Lidou absolutely trusted the battle report sent back by his daughter Tianqin. Since Tianqin had said that Yaku was completely annihilated by her, then Yaku should have been completely annihilated.

Besides, why not use the ever-updated EA abilities and instead use an antique ability dug up tens of thousands of years ago, and risk being infected by the color? It's a decision anyone would make, right?

As for Danrito's current investigation work, Liyin had no intention of stopping him. Instead, she cooperated very well and told Danrito all the necessary information.

"Starting from Area F, everything beyond was built by Xiao Tao using the power of the cassette tape."

Rin unfolded the virtual projected map, and the map of the entire fortress city was displayed in front of Danrito. Rin marked the part that Momo was responsible for building.

"Although the buildings constructed using the cassette's abilities appear to be the same building materials as those currently used in Kivotos, different components can be detected within them."

Danrito's God Extreme player unfolded the scanning device on his chest, which was a pair of big eyes, and quickly scanned the entire fortress city. This powerful scanning and analysis ability can easily analyze to the DNA level, and the scanning ability specifically for creatures in the game field is also first-class.

"found it."

Without saying a word, Danrito broke through the glass of the control room and flew out. After passing through several areas, Danrito stopped in front of one of the buildings.

“God Punch!”

Danrito smashed the building into pieces with just one punch, and then from the collapsed rubble, he grabbed a program upgrade key that looked familiar, yet strange.

"Kamen Rider…Chronicle?"

What was taken out of Danrito's hand was a sublimation key with a green appearance and the head of Kronos engraved on it, but Danrito never remembered developing such a thing. And speaking of the upgrade key, the only one who had fought with Danrito and used the sublimation key was Ark.

"But Yake has been completely reduced to ashes."

Danrito was absolutely convinced of this thought. A guy like Ake couldn't possibly hold back and not cause a big mess. After all this time, with no sign of anything happening, Ake was definitely finished.

"Then this key..."

Danrito narrowed his eyes and looked at the key in front of him. Suddenly, the key turned into a ball of shining color like the starry sky and flew directly towards Danrito's face!

Sa——!

Dan Lidou immediately pushed off the ground, spurting out a strong propulsive flame that instantly carried him flying backwards several meters, avoiding the attack of the ball of color.

At the moment the attack missed, the ball of color floating in the air was imprisoned in a mysterious cube by Danrito using the game he had just created. No matter how the ball of color struggled, it could not escape from the small confinement cube.

Looking at the small ball of color trapped in the cube in his hand, Danrito's eyes turned dangerous.

"Although it's not a surprising answer, I didn't expect there would be any remaining color... How did it break through the blockade of my game domain and send its clone to Kivotos?"

This mass of color naturally couldn't answer him. Danrito's exposure to color was minimal; the other's true form was merely a conceptual object. This mass of color, resembling a multicolored slime, was perhaps just the color itself, transported into this world through some medium.

The first contact between Danrito and colors took place in the universe thousands of light years away from Kivotos.

With just that short analysis, Danrito was able to determine that color has the ability to transcend the dimension of time.

It can even be said that it is the World Devourer that exists in the universe.

And now, this terrifying World Eater has demonstrated another of his abilities.

Not only Kamen Rider Ark, but even a certain character in the world line where he originally lived can be copied by color in this form and projected into Kivotos.

"It's only Tan Zhengzong who was sent this time..." Tan Lidou's eyes were extremely serious. "If the color can copy the invincible player..."

Thinking of that possibility, Dan Lidou's face was as gloomy as water. He took the cube in his hand, said goodbye to Li Yin in a hurry, and returned to the location of Huanmeng Group. In order to avoid the possible pollution of the network environment, Dan Lidou chose to return on foot this time.
