Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 15
"Did you run away?"

Shuanggo glanced down at his raised palm, then shook his head with a smile, removed the Zi-O knight watch from the space-time driver, and ended the transformation.

[It's so troublesome...]
[There is no way to stop an object that itself has the power of time. ]
[It seems that the 'present me' is far from being invincible compared to the 'future me'. ]
"Yo, Zhantu, Longwo, long time no see... Well, it's not that long."

Putting the knight watch in his pocket, Shogo invited Kiryu Sentu and Manjo Ryuga.

"Now, I can openly take you to my house as guests... You must have a lot of questions to ask right now? Come on, let you taste my uncle's cooking by the way, and we will talk while eating."

Zhantu and Longwo looked at each other and nodded.

Now, they do have a bunch of questions they want answered.

Especially the words that the boy in blue said had a great impact on them.

Seeing the war rabbit and the dragon, I agreed, and Zhuang Wu turned his head back to look in the direction of Woz.

Then, he couldn't help being speechless at the incomparably convenient way of moving these people.

"It disappeared again... Well, forget it, let's talk about it next time."

……

……

Watching Shuanggo, Kiryu Zhantu, and Wanzhang Ryuga leave their backs.

Woz turned out from a blind spot with a complicated expression on his face.

Just now, looking at that incomparably reliable back, for a moment, he even suspected that the man inside the armor was not a young demon king who had not yet become king, but the one who had carried everything and supported him 50 years later. After everything, the real king-the king of the devil!

However, it was this kind of existence that told him to prepare him mentally. He was very dissatisfied with the future that had happened and wanted to change it...

When he heard this sentence for the first time, apart from being surprised, he was only amused.

but,

just now.

[Is it true that the young Demon King can't do it? ]
He's not so sure anymore...

[If the young Demon King can really create a better future, then you in the future...do you not have to work so hard? ]
[My... His Majesty the Demon King...]
Woz opened the book in his hand, and he didn't know how many times, starting from the first page, line by line, page by page backward.

"--what should I do?"

……

……

"Gates! Wait! Gates—!!"

Seeing the emotional explosion, looking for the traces of Zhuangwu violently, Gates, who seemed to be violent and hurtful at any time, once again stood in front of him.

"Calm down! I think we can sit down and have a good talk with Zhuang Wu. I don't think the current Zhuang Wu will become the King of the Devils as we know him."

"Even if he has acquired the power of Zi-O?"

An angry Gates growled in a low voice.

He wanted to go around from the side like before, but this time, Yueyue grabbed his arms tightly, preventing him from going around.

Gates resisted the urge to forcibly push Yueyue away and asked.

"——Why do you think he won't become the Demon King we know? Just because you saved him? Then he said a few sweet words to you? It makes you think that he likes you, so he will change for you Your own choice?"

"Monthly Reading!!"

"wake up!"

"That demon king is impossible and will not change his choice for anyone!"

"Even if he really likes you, he's just greedy for your body!"

Breaking away from Tsukuyomi who had relaxed his strength because of a daze, Gates drifted away.

Yuedu was left alone and sat softly on the ground.

"why……"

Tears of grievance slipped from the eyes.

"Why do you say that? I obviously never thought of that..."

……

……

"Uncle, I'm back. Let's add more bowls and chopsticks for two people today. I brought my friends as guests."

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Okay, you're welcome too, come on, I'll take you in... Do you want tea?"

Junichiro Tokiwa, who was repairing a radio, came out from behind the counter and greeted Sogo and Sento Kiryu and Ryuga Manjo following him.

"No, water is fine, we can do it ourselves, you are busy, don't worry about us."

War Rabbit and Dragon I said hastily.

"That's all right, you sit down first, I have something to talk to Zhuang Wu first."

Saying that, Tokiwa Junichiro took Sogo to the side, opened the sliding door of the restaurant a little, and said to Tsukuyomi who was lying on the dining table inside, who was obviously in a sad state.

"——What happened? Zhuang Wu, are you bullying someone?"

"No, didn't I run out before? She probably chased the wrong way and didn't find me. How could it be that I bullied her?"

Zhuang Wu said in a daze that he would not take the blame.

but……

"Forget it, I'll go and comfort her."

Shogo smiled and was about to open the sliding door to go in...but Junichiro Tokiwa stopped him again.

"and many more."

Zhuang Wu looked at his uncle speechlessly.

"???"

"Hey, what, before that, tell me what do you think about the girl inside?"

Joban Junichiro asked.

"Hey, what's the point?"

Zhuang Wu hugged his uncle's shoulders, squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Look, Uncle, I'm 18 years old this year, and I'm about to graduate from high school, but I've never had a serious relationship. Is that plausible? Huh?"

"It's not like... Heh, who made you focus on exercising before, I remember someone wrote you a love letter?"

"Hey, don't mention it, it was written by someone who lost the king game. The girls in the school have always regarded me as a dictator of the rules, a tyrant, and they are afraid of me. How could they like me? Besides , none of them are particularly beautiful."

"This one is different..."

As Zhuang Wu said, he pointed to the restaurant behind him and gave a thumbs up.

"It's pure and beautiful, and look at those legs... No, uncle, you are not allowed to see it!"

"Cough... cough cough! You child..."

Junichiro Tokiwa, who didn't have any strange ideas at first, was almost choked by Shogo's sudden call.

but……

"I said Zhuang Wu, don't you just like her beauty? Don't hurt her if you don't really like you."

"Tsk, am I that kind of person? Uncle, don't look at her as delicate, she is actually very powerful. She has been trained, understand?"

"Okay, okay, as long as you have a sense of proportion. Tell me, when did you meet?"

[--today? ]
Speaking of this time, it's a bit messy.

Speaking from the calendar, they did know each other from today, but speaking from the time span, the fate between them will be long.

[A month ago? ]
Or……

"Originating from the Cretaceous period, spanning the Edo period, until half a century into the future, the fate between us will always be closely connected."

This is true.

But to the uninformed it sounds a bit ridiculous.

Seeing that his uncle was about to look at him with a look that didn't recognize him, Zhuang Wu hurriedly ended the conversation, patted his shoulder, and opened the sliding door.

"Okay, anyway, you don't have to worry about it, just trust me..."

Saying this, Zhuang Wu turned his head, and a beautiful expressionless face was just around the corner.

Zhuang Wu: "..."

He turned his head quickly, and the corner of his mouth twitched to see that his uncle had slipped away without hesitation.

"—Uh, that, Tsukiyomi."

Zhuang Wu turned his face around again and asked in embarrassment.

"May I ask, when did you start listening?"

Yuedu sneered and said, "Look at those legs?"

Zhuang Wu: "!!!"
