Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 189 Partner
"So, go to class?"

Sogo Tokiwa finally decided... not to go.

Because of the current situation, it is not surprising when the Narumi Detective Agency will send a text message, so in order to avoid embarrassment after receiving the notification during class time, I simply asked for leave from the beginning today.

He only hoped that the incident about the strange knight W could be resolved satisfactorily today, because in that case, at least tomorrow, he could still complete a full day of school and draw a successful conclusion to this week's exchange student learning activities.

……

……

hospital.

Gates on the hospital bed suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Woz, then quietly got up, lifted the quilt, picked up his clothes and walked out.

And after Gates left on tiptoe, holding his own Advent Calendar, lowering his head and closing his eyes, Woz, who had already woken up from the state of sleep, slowly opened a gap in his eyes, shook his head and smiled, stood up and stretched. Slack, took a last look at the empty hospital bed, pulled off the scarf and wrapped it around herself, and disappeared.

……

……

"!!!"

Sonosaki Saeko woke up from her sleep and sat up all of a sudden. At this time, it was already bright outside the window.

She felt as if she had had a long, long dream, but when she woke up, she immediately forgot the content of the dream.

I only vaguely remember that it was not a good dream.

Raising her hand and holding down half of her face, Saeko Sonosaki said slowly with disgust, "Wakana, did you do the trick?"

No one answered, and the uncovered half of the face didn't respond either.

After a moment of silence, Sonosaki Saeko let out a long breath and rubbed the center of her brows.

That's right, Sonosaki Wakana's consciousness has been swallowed by her, so how could she still have the energy to make trouble?
However, even so, she still couldn't help but wonder, was it really just a dream?
At this moment, a phone call came.

Sonosaki Saeko connected, and heard a female voice coming from the phone.

"Boss, it's me, I'm back."

Hearing this, Saeko Sonosaki raised her eyebrows and smiled, and her mood instantly eased a lot.

"Very well, act according to plan."

……

……

The phone was hung up, and the school girl’s mother, Michiko Yamamori, took the phone from her ear, clicked on the newly sent location map, and looked at the small red dot that was moving. The mask that had slipped off was lifted up again, he raised his head to identify the direction, and strode forward.

……

……

In a forest.

Philip came here with Shotaro Sato.

In a familiar place, they have seen the lady with no skin all over her body - Sherard here many times.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that that person was Philip's mother.

Even, she was the client of Narumi Shokichi's commission to save Philip.

"Mom—I'm here, please, please come out and see me! Sister Wakana, father, they are all... dead, and they were given by Sister Saeko..."

Philip cried and kept walking in the forest.

Shotaro Sato, who couldn't bear to see Philip like this, took off his hat and covered his face.

According to the information Philip read from the Earth Library, his mother is now in this forest.

But based on what they knew about Sherard in the past, if she didn't want to see them, they would have no more effective way to find her.

That's why Shotaro Sato didn't shout along with him, but handed everything over to Philip, his partner.

At this moment, two lines of fire suddenly spread out from the depths of the forest, forming a fire path that spread all the way to Philip's feet.

Still wearing the familiar attire, black clothes, black hat, sunglasses, and his face tightly wrapped in white gauze, Sherard walked slowly from the other end of the fire road deep in the forest, carrying a with a suitcase.

"Long time no see, come here."

"Mother……"

"No need to say much, I already know it."

Sherald, who had already walked in front of Philip, raised his hand to stop Philip's words, and then threw the suitcase to Philip.

"what is this?"

Philip asked suspiciously.

Sherald: "If you have a partner who is willing to live with you, then use it, and then the earth will tell you everything."

While speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Shotaro Sato next to her, and said with a smile.

"So, here's the answer, the answer to everything you're looking for."

"Partner...the answer..."

Sherrard's words made Philip couldn't help but look back at Shotaro Sato, but when he turned his gaze back again, he found that Sherrard had disappeared.

But this time, no matter how he shouted, Sherard never appeared again.

Shotaro Sato, who was silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and stepped forward to hug Philip.

"Philip! Come on, she's gone."

Tightening his arms, he held Philip tightly until his struggle gradually weakened and he began to calm down, Shotaro Sato let go of Philip at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's see what Sherard left for you."

"Ah."

Philip nodded, leaned over and squatted down, placed the suitcase on the ground and opened it, revealing the contents inside.

Four never-before-seen memories.

Luna (moon god), Heat (hot), Metal (metal), Trigger (trigger).

There's also a W drive that appears to be a combination of two stray drives.

Seeing the shape of the driver and thinking of the words Sherard said just before leaving, Philip suddenly understood the meaning of those words.

So, after picking up the W drive, Philip looked at Shotaro Sato with a sad smile on his lips.

"No, Shotaro, this is what Mom left for us."

While speaking, he handed the W drive in his hand to Shotaro Sato.

"Partner, as mother said, do you have the courage to live with the devil?"

Zuo Shotaro couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then he straightened his top hat with a smile, took over the W driver, and buckled it around his waist without the slightest hesitation.

"Of course, I will accompany you to the depths of hell."

——Also, partner, you are no longer a demon.

This is the sentence that Shotaro Sato hid in his heart and didn't say it.

And after hearing the answer that seemed to be a matter of course, even though he had expected it, Philip was still happy from the bottom of his heart. This happiness diluted a little bit of the sadness caused by Sherard's departure, and made Philip feel a lot easier. .

"Then, I... no, let's get started!"

Saying this, Philip stood up, took out the Hayate memory from his pocket, and together with Shotaro Sato who also took out the ace memory from his pocket, put in a W posture, started, and inserted one right and one left into the W drive. Two memory slots.

Then, the Hayate memory carried Philip's consciousness and spirit and was transmitted to Shotaro Sa through the W drive. Shotaro Sato pressed the memory and pushed the two memory slots outward.

"Transform!"

[Cyclone-Joker! 】

call--

With the wind blowing, the half green and half black Kamen Rider W reappears across history.

A black and green overlapping knight watch was condensed into shape.
