"Are you awake?"
"Um……"
After Gates answered subconsciously, he sat up from the ground and looked at the man standing in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.
"--Who are you!?"
The blurry figure in front of him was completely clear, but it was not the Tokiwa Shogo he thought, but a stranger he didn't know!
This made Gates' heart suddenly lift.
He wanted to get up immediately and be on guard.
But as soon as he pressed his palms on the ground to support himself, he felt an unexpected pain coming from his forehead, causing him to involuntarily take a breath of air, raised his hand to press his forehead, and fell back down again.
"Hey! It hurts!"
"Oh, don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions towards you."
When the stranger saw this scene, he couldn't help but shook his head in laughter.
"If I'm not wrong, you should be a member of the Demon King, right? Then you should have heard of me...I am Yuuto Sakurai."
When Gates heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted suddenly.
"Zero North!?"
"Yes, it's me."
Sakurai Yuto nodded.
"Then, this is the note your devil left for you."
Gates looked at the note handed over by Yuto Sakurai, then looked up at Yuto Sakurai, raised his hand to take it, looked up, and felt relieved.
It's the handwriting of Shogo Tokiwa.
The brushstrokes may seem soft, but actually they contain a sharp edge.
[Leave Tsukuyomi to me, Gates, you go find the singularity. 】
[I'll take a step first and won't wait for you to wake up. 】
【——Tokiwa Sogoru. 】
Gates: "..."
So, King Shi just left him unconscious here?
Gates' mouth twitched and he looked up at Sakurai Yuuto.
"...Did he say anything to you before he left?"
The "he" here refers to Tokiwa Shougo.
Sakurai Yuto shook his head.
"When I came here, I only saw you lying on the ground with a note on your head."
Then, he raised his finger and pointed in the direction behind Gates, and continued.
"Well, there's also the damaged time machine behind you."
Gates followed the direction of Sakurai Yuto's finger and looked back, and sure enough he saw a Time Demon Machine with a dented head.
"hiss!"
Gates gently touched his red and swollen forehead, and suddenly felt his head hurt even more.
How should I put it? Probably, it was because he suddenly understood why Tokiwa Shogo had to share one with him even though he himself had a Time Demon Machine.
Then he heard Sakurai Yuto continue:
"However, the reason why I was able to find you here cannot be said to have nothing to do with the Demon King."
"???"
With a question mark on Gates' head, Sakurai Yuto smiled and said:
"Woz... you know him, right? He was the one who gave me the coordinates of this time and place, and told me that if I wanted to find help, this is the right place to come here."
fertile!
Gates: "..."
Suddenly I didn't want to say anything.
What does it mean to be clearly arranged?
This is!
But why do they all think that they will obey the arrangements obediently?
Gates asked: "If you are Zero North, why do you want help?"
First, Gates wanted a reason to get out of Woz's arrangement.
However, after hearing Gates' question, Sakurai Yuto's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"You, it turns out you don't know anything?"
Gates frowned: "Woz did not discuss it with me in advance..."
Sakurai Yuto waved his hand: "No, that's not it."
Sakurai Yuto reminded: "It's my business...Didn't the Demon King tell you about the restrictions on my transformation?"
"Restrictions...ah!"
When Gates heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
He remembered that Tokiwa Shougo told him that Zero North's number of transformations was limited, and each transformation would consume other people's memories of Sakurai Yuto.
"……Feel sorry."
Indeed, knowing this, he really shouldn't ask the question above.
"I'll help."
Gates accepted his fate, because he found that under this situation, he really couldn't refuse Sakurai Yuto's request for help.
"Well, thank you for your understanding."
Sakurai Yuto nodded and continued.
"In that case, let's exchange information..."
"I lost my memory as Zero North some time ago. Although my memory was restored due to the characteristics of Zero-Liner, my history has not been completely restored. Therefore, I don't have much Zero left. It can be said that there are no North tickets now..."
"I say this for two reasons:"
"First, to prevent you from having unnecessary expectations during the battle, because I am indeed unable to transform now."
"Second, I want to remind you to pay attention. Since the Time Tribulator has changed my history, then, in addition to the alien King of Lightning, there is a very high possibility that they will also create the alien Zero North!"
"Then, here's some information I know about Den-O."
"As far as I know, Den-Liner disappeared into the space-time tunnel after chasing Teed, the time robber who abducted Hana."
"Combined with the information provided by your companion, the young man named Woz,"
"It is basically certain that this incident of the alien knight was planned by the time robber named Tide."
"As for Tid's purpose, we already know that he wants to erase the history of the Heisei Knights."
"Hana is the singularity of the future, so I have reason to believe that the reason why Tide kidnapped Hana must be related to his purpose."
"In other words, Hana plays a vital role in Tide's plan."
"This is the only good news at this stage, because until this timeline is officially connected with the original timeline, Hana's own life safety is at least guaranteed."
After saying that, Sakurai Yuto let out a long sigh.
Because, having said that, the truth is indeed such a truth, but no matter what, he can't suppress the worry in his heart.
After all, Hana is him...
His thoughts stopped here, and Sakurai Yuto looked at Gates again.
"This is all the information I know now, where are you?"
Gates: "..."
He lowered his head, thought hard and racked his brains, and finally sighed and said what he had said before.
"I'll help."
Sakurai Yuto: "???"
In Sakurai Yuto's confused expression, Gates added.
"As a qualified... thug."
Because Gates, who had just woken up from the coma of the "crash", knew nothing about the timeline of this alien king.
As for what he knew in the Zi-O timeline, Sakurai Yuto, who had already been in contact with Woz, only knew more than him.
Therefore, to sum up, Gates has nothing to offer Sakurai Yuto except force.
Sakurai Yuto: "..."
understood.
Just, I suddenly had a bit of toothache.
"Fine."
All in all, it is not without gain.
"Then, our first goal next is to find the singularity on this timeline!"
Sakurai Yuto said.
"No matter what Tiede wants to do with this timeline, he can't avoid the existence of the singularity. Therefore, if we find the singularity, we can wait and see."
Gates nodded: "Yeah."
Looking for something special... Isn't that how Tokiwa Shogo left the message to him? It's just something that's expected.
Thinking of this, Gates had a Buddhist smile on his face.
"Let's go."
…
…
On the other hand, the two siblings, Aura and Ur, returned to Tid's castle and reported the results of their work.
