Sonosaki Wakana, who wore a single ponytail and only a simple long skirt, brought the prepared breakfast to the table and shouted to Philip, who had entered the Earth Library mentally.
"Phillip, it's time to eat."
Hearing Sonosaki Wakana's voice, Philip, who was standing in front of the bookshelf, exited the Earth Library, holding the thick wordless book, flipping through it, and walked towards the dining table.
As the pages of the book started to move, Phillip's brows gradually frowned, his expression serious.
This made Dezono Saki Wakana couldn't help but ask.
"Philip, what happened?"
After hearing this, Phillip came back from his thoughts and looked at Sono Saki Wakana.
"elder sister……"
His face was full of hesitation, and he was struggling with whether to tell Sonosaki Wakana what he just saw.
Seeing this, Sonosaki Wakana was silent for a moment, then she showed a big smile to Phillip again and said softly.
"Okay, don't think about it, let's eat first, okay?"
Phillip felt a little relieved and nodded.
"Okay, sister."
…
…
After meal.
Sonosaki Wakana clapped her hands and asked Phillip with a smile.
"Philip, can you help me put away the dishes today?"
Originally, according to the order, it was Sonosaki Wakana's turn to deal with this today.
However, after hearing Sonosaki Wakana's request, Philip readily agreed.
"Leave it to me, sister!"
Watching Sonosaki Wakana get up from the chair and walk out of the restaurant, Philip turned his head, put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised one hand and put it on his chin to calm down.
In the ten years since leaving Fengdu, Philip has searched for Fengdu and his partner Zuo Shotaro who is still in Fengdu almost every day. By now, it has become a habit.
If he didn't search for his partner's half-hearted tough guy character, Phillip would really feel uneasy, fearing that one day his partner would disappear in the wind of Fengdu because of an "irrational" act of bravery.
Just like the person who also loved Fengdu and gave a limited edition Fengdu mascot - Xiaofengdu to his partner.
Thinking about it, Phillip sighed, stood up, started to put away the tableware, and took it to the kitchen for cleaning.
Since the fire ten years ago, he and his partner, the known leaders of the museum organization, the Sonosaki family, have disappeared from the eyes of the people in Fengdu.
If it hadn't been discovered later that the museum organization was still functioning well, the Gaia Memory incident was spreading all over the capital, and the traces of Sonosaki Saeko were captured several times during commission incidents, I'm afraid they would all have thought that the Sonosaki family had been seized of power. , so that fire happened.
It's a pity that the books about the Sonosaki family in the Earth Library are still unreadable, otherwise he could directly know their whereabouts through retrieval.
After placing the tableware neatly, Phillip shook off the water droplets on his hands, walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and continued to think about what was in his mind.
Through the search just now, Philip found that because of a man named Tokiwa Shogo, very suddenly, but logically, Zuo Shotaro had a very deep involvement in the museum organization, and even because of the depth of this involvement, he was about to have a close relationship with the museum organization. Sono Saki Saeko met.
With his partner on one side and his sister walking further and further down the dark road, it is inevitable that Philip will be caught in a dilemma.
But despite this, he still decided to go back to Fengdu first.
Whether it's for his partner or his sister, at this time, he can't let himself stay out of it!
But for Sonosaki Wakana, who was also his sister and Sonosaki Saeko's younger sister, he was hesitant to confess the matter for a moment.
The family's Gaia memory business, my sister's betrayal, and my father's ruthless pursuit of my sister...
In the beginning, it was because she didn't want to face these things that Sonosaki Wakana chose to escape Fengdu.
Therefore, Philip personally prefers to return to Fengdu alone without telling Sonosaki Wakana about these things.
So, if he chooses not to confess to Sonosaki Wakana, what reason should he use to appease his sister?
As I thought, time passed.
Sonosaki Wakana, who changed her outfit and wore large-lens sunglasses, walked out of the bedroom, holding a women's suitcase with cute patterns in her hand.
"I have prepared everything including your things. Philip, when will we set off?"
There was no need for Philip to confess anything, Sonosaki Wakana had already made her own choice.
Before breakfast, she had only seen the expression and reaction on Phillip's face once since leaving Fengdu.
And that time, a fire broke out in Sonosaki's house.
So there was no need to explain anything in detail. Sonosaki Wakana already understood that this incident must be related to their family.
"Sister Wakana, actually you don't have to go back!"
After hearing Sonosaki Wakana's words, he came back to his senses, and then saw Sonosaki Wakana's dress at this time and the preparations that had been made. Philip understood Sonosaki Wakana's choice and what she had guessed.
"I……"
"Come on! This time, I don't want to escape anymore!"
Before Philip could persuade him to say anything more, Sonosaki Wakana interrupted him and said with a firm expression. The title also changed from "Philip" to the family-style "visitor".
Yes, she escaped ten years ago, and even after the fire, she never went back.
Therefore, she has been uneasy for the past ten years, speculating about the cause of the fire, feeling guilty about escaping everything, worrying about the conflict between her father and sister...
So this time, she didn't want to escape anymore.
She wants to go back and face everything she should face. No matter whether the final result is good or bad, she is already ready to wake up.
After a long silence.
Phillip nodded and said.
"I understand, Sister Wakana, let's set off now."
Hearing this answer, Sonosaki Wakana's face showed a smile again.
"Well, let's go change clothes, Philip."
…
…
I took the thick wordless book back to my room, changed into my going out clothes, and put on my favorite long green striped vest.
Phillip found a backpack and was about to put the book in it. He paused and stood up again holding the book.
He remembered that there was one thing he had not done.
Opening his arms, Philip entered the Earth Library in a ray of green light.
Enter the keyword: [Jiba Shogo]
Then, add the keyword: [Kamen Rider]
He wanted to search to find out who Tokiwa Shogo was, who played an important role in this incident!
The bookshelf was changed and the search was in progress. A book with a golden mechanical clock structure cover appeared in front of him. He took it in his hand and opened it.
Da da da--
After a moment, Phillip opened his eyes blankly.
"What was I doing just now...?"
