"I understand, then I'll leave it to you, Brother Ryotaro."
Shingo Kuenaga promised Ryotaro Nogami to accept his protection until he escapes the monster's pursuit...
Thinking this way, Shingo Kuunaga was suddenly stunned. He scratched his hair in confusion and murmured:
"Wait, did I...forgot something?"
"Shingo?"
Nogami Ryotaro noticed something strange about Kuunaga Shingo and asked with concern.
After hearing this, Shingo Kuenaga came back to his senses, shook his head, and his eyes returned to normal after a moment of confusion.
"I'm fine."
He replied to Ryotaro Nogami.
"Ah That's good."
Ryotaro Nogami nodded and then asked.
"Ah, by the way, did you make any wishes when that monster appeared?"
After a pause, Ryotaro Nogami added.
"To that monster..."
Hearing this question, Kuenaga Shingo's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Brother Ryotaro..."
Kukunaga Shingo complained.
"No one would make a wish to a monster that is chasing them, right?"
"Ah this..."
Hearing this, Nogami Ryotaro's mouth twitched slightly, his expression quite embarrassing.
"Yeah, that's right..."
…
den-liner.
Purtalus, who was still happy that Nogami Ryotaro had learned to lie just now, sighed softly.
"well……"
He shook his head gracefully and contacted Ryotaro Nogami by reading a message.
"Ryotaro, at this time, you should ask 'did that monster force you to make a wish to him' instead of 'did you make a wish to that monster?'"
At the same time, he complained in his heart.
Fortunately, that child has a bright heart. If he were a slightly more irritable person, he might not directly interpret "making a wish" as "begging for mercy", and then...
Putaros couldn't help but twitch his lips when he thought of Ryotaro Nogami's lingering unlucky attributes.
…
at the same time.
Under the guidance of Purtaros, Ryotaro Nogami, who got the correct posture, finally successfully got the answer to the question from Shingo Kukunaga.
"No."
Shingo Kuenaga thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied.
He did beg for mercy from Alien Zero North, but he did not make a wish to Alien Zero North, and Alien Zero North never asked him to do so.
In fact, the only thing the alien Zero North said to him was the first sentence...
[Are you asking me? 】
Thinking of this, Kuunaga Shingo said quickly:
"But, I remember..."
But as soon as the sentence started, it stopped abruptly.
Seeing this, Ryotaro Nogami quickly asked:
"Remember what?"
Jiunong Shenwu remained silent and did not answer.
——I remember, that monster was transformed from a sister!
He originally wanted to inform Nogami Ryotaro of this information, but as his eyes glazed over for a moment...
Kukunaga Shingo has lost this idea.
Therefore, under Ryotaro Nogami's questioning, Shingo Kuunaga showed only confusion and being at a loss for the current situation.
Faced with such Kukunaga Shingo...
After a while, Ryotaro Nogami said softly:
"……Feel sorry."
However, he could not ignore the abnormality shown by Kuunaga Shingo just now.
Just now, Kuenaga Shingo obviously wanted to say something...
But now, he has even forgotten half of what he just said!
This made Ryotaro Nogami think that the situation faced by Kuunaga Shingo might not be as simple as being possessed by a strange demon.
Therefore, Ryotaro Nogami decided...
Substitute!
With the blue light lingering under his eyes, Potaros made an elegant appearance.
"There are thousands of needles hidden in the words, monstrous falsehoods, monstrous lies, boy..."
Uraban Ryotaro raised the corners of his mouth, raised his right hand, pushed the frame slightly, and smiled.
"You come and try to take my bait too."
…
…
The residence of Shotaro Ishimori.
Ding dong——
As the doorbell rang, an old man's voice rang from the intercom on the doorbell a moment later.
"You are……?"
Sakurai Yuto approached the camera installed on the doorbell and said bluntly:
"I am Yuuto Sakurai, and he is Gates of Meikoin. We would like to visit Mr. Ishimori, is it okay?"
The doorbell intercom went silent for a while.
After a moment, click——
The door in front of Sakurai Yuto and Gates was suddenly opened, and an old man about eighty years old appeared in front of them.
The old man was wearing a pair of reading glasses. As soon as he appeared, he looked at Sakurai Yuto and Gates.
"Zero nos, geiz."
The old man looked at Yuuto Sakurai and Gates, with complex emotions such as surprise, confusion, surprise, and disbelief flashing through his eyes, but in the end, these all turned into a relieved smile.
"come in."
The old man extended invitations to Sakurai Yuto and Gates.
"I am what you are looking for, Shotaro Ishimori."
…
…
In 1969, Shotaro Ishimori suddenly had the idea to create a heroic work that was different from what is currently popular on the market... So, after a long period of thinking, designing, and selecting materials.
Finally, Shotaro Ishimori drew the image of the "new hero" he was looking forward to - Kamen Rider No. 1, Hongo Meng!
But what Shotaro Ishimori didn't expect was that that night, the hero he drew on the paper, Hongo Takeo, "came alive" in his dream.
Moreover, he is still going through the story for which he only has an outline at this stage.
After waking up, Ishimori Shotaro was silent for a long time before picking up his brush and writing down what happened in his dream.
Then, he began to enrich the story content of "Kamen Rider No. 1"...
During this process, Shotaro Ishimori had a sudden inspiration and designed a wonderful plot.
Although, that is a tragedy.
However, as a cartoonist, Shotaro Ishimori is happy that he can design such a plot.
However, when he actually saw from his dream that the hero named Hongo Meng actually experienced the plot he designed...
The next day, Shotaro Ishimori was silent for a long time in front of the drawing paper. Finally, he decided to change the tragedy.
Although, that was a pretty good episode.
However, Shotaro Ishimori is confident that he can draw a great story even without tragedy.
However, the story in Shotaro Ishimori's dream did not follow his revised plot. Instead, it continued to develop along the original plot layout...
After that, Shotaro Ishimori tried many times to adjust the comic plot.
However, the story in the dream still stubbornly continues along its original outline.
Even later, Shotaro Ishimori couldn't tell whether the original outline of the story was his own, or whether he resonated with the information radiated from another world, and his inspiration exploded, and then it was directly reflected in his mind. This story "emerged" in my mind.
In short, in the end, Shotaro Ishimori deleted all his changes to the tragedy and chose to faithfully record the history of "Kamen Rider No. 1".
That was his respect for the hero named Hongo Meng.
After that, Shotaro Ishimori told many stories about Kamen Riders one after another...
From Showa to Heisei...
Come to think of it, he will continue to narrate it in the future.
As long as he is alive, the end of Heisei will not be the end, but a new starting point.
Even if he passes away eventually, there will definitely be a successor...
The story of "Kamen Rider" will never end.
Because, no matter what era, heroes will be born!
Heroes never disappear!
So is the spirit of Kamen Rider!
Inherited forever!
However, Shotaro Ishimori never thought that one day, the hero in his dream, the character in his writing, would really come to him from another world.
…
…
Inside the house, living room.
Sofa, wooden table, three people seated.
Shotaro Ishimori looked at Yuuto Sakurai and Gates, smiled calmly and said:
"Are you here to collect debt from me, an old man?"
