Because I want to save more people, I want to become a king.
Because I found that I didn't have that ability, I turned my attention to what was within my ability.
Recognize the reality, give up the unattainable fantasy, and choose to seize the present in a down-to-earth manner.
Can such a choice be said to be wrong?
Of course not!
Rather, this is a normal and extremely correct choice.
So, if the real Tokiwa Shogo was placed in this "Tokiwa Shogo" position, would he also give up his dream of becoming the king?
Thinking like this, Tsukuyomi was suddenly stunned.
For some reason, when he thought that Tokiwa Shougo might give up his dream of becoming a king, Tsukuyomi felt not only that he was not relieved, but also felt a sense of sadness that he didn't know why.
Tsukuyomi smiled bitterly, how ironic it was that she was the one who had been persuading Tokiwa Shougo to give up his dream of becoming a king in the past...
…
At the same time, Mitsukiyomi remained silent, sinking deeper and deeper into her own world. "Tokiwa Shogo" frowned and asked again:
"Answer me, Tsukuyomi, is he still pursuing his dream of becoming a king?"
Tsukuyomi came back to her senses after hearing this. She looked into the eyes of "Tokiwa Shogo" and her pupils refocused.
"Yes."
This time, Tsukuyomi answered the question of "Tokiwa Shogo" very seriously.
"He has indeed never given up, and until now, he is still pursuing his dream of becoming a king."
Having said this, Tsukuyomi paused and continued.
"It can even be said that now, he has made great strides on the road to realizing his dream."
After hearing this, "Tokiwa Shougo" and Tsukuyomi looked at each other for a moment, and actually laughed slowly.
"I know... that knight's watch is proof that he has officially embarked on the road to becoming a king, right?"
Although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes... What was brewing in those eyes was something Tsukuyomi couldn't understand.
Tsukuyomi couldn't understand it because she hadn't realized the "speciality" of this world. At the same time, she didn't know that "Shougo Tokiwa" had already read a comic called "Kamen Rider Tokio".
This information gap makes Tsukuyomi completely unable to empathize with "Shougo Tokiwa" at this time.
Only this time, Tsukuyomi did not immediately pursue the matter, but first answered the question of "Tokiwa Shogo" honestly.
"Yes, Shougo's journey to becoming a king really started after he obtained Zi-O's knight watch."
After hearing this answer, "Tokiwa Shougo" lowered his eyes. There was still no smile in his eyes, but the smile on his face had obviously deepened.
"Tokiwa Shougo" asked his third question.
"The third question... If he is just like me, an ordinary person without any special powers, then, Tsukuyomi, do you think he will give up his dream of becoming a king like me?"
As soon as "Tokiwa Shogo" finished speaking, Tsukuyomi was stunned.
Because this question happened to be a question she had just thought about.
This discovery made Tsukuyomi feel very uncomfortable for a while, and he even couldn't help but have such an idea...
[Did he ask this question on purpose because he saw through my thoughts? ]
But soon, Tsukuyomi himself rejected this idea.
Because Tsukuyomi felt that "Tokiwa Shogo" should not have the bad taste to make this joke with her now.
Therefore, Tsukuyomi just thought for a while and then slowly said the answer she had come up with before.
"Probably, yes..."
But after saying this answer, Tsukuyomi did not stop, but added after a pause.
"However, that is just a speculation about the Tokiwa Shogo before September 1, 2018, whom I did not know."
Tsukuyomi stared closely into the eyes of "Tokiwa Shogo" and continued.
"And if it's the Tokiwa Shogo that I know now, I can tell you clearly - no!
Even if one day he loses all his special powers and becomes an ordinary person, he will never give up his dream of becoming a king!
He may become a teacher and eventually president of numerous schools;
He may become a politician and eventually become prime minister;
He might become an entrepreneur and eventually make waves in the world;
But, no matter what, he will not shrink or even limit the scope of his protection like you.
He will only continue to expand the scope of his protection to the whole world!
That's right,
This is Shogo Tokiwa of that world,
This is the Tokiwa Shogo I know,
Shogo Tokiwa who persists in his dream of becoming a king,
Tokiwa Shogo who firmly believes that he can make the future better! "
As he said this, the light in Tsukuyomi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression became more and more proud.
She has thought clearly...
The "Shougo Tokiwa" of this world gave up his dream of becoming a king, which was indeed a normal and extremely correct choice.
But that's about it.
It's normal and correct.
But at the same time, it is also ordinary and ordinary.
But the Tokiwa Shogo she knew was special.
Tsukuyomi thought angrily and happily:
Ah, thinking about the thought at the beginning, it turned out that it was all thoughts that made her feel "irked".
It's all because of the "Shougo Tokiwa" of this world. He had clearly interrupted her thinking before, but he chose to use the third question to make her think more deeply.
It was all because of the Tokiwa Shogo in that world that he had changed her heart so much without even realizing it.
This made Tsukuyomi couldn't help but sigh:
Arrogant, lustful, and good at bewitching people... Humph, he is indeed a devil.
…
"Tokiwa Shougo" looked at Tsukuyomi like this and opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing how to ask.
Different from the alien knight incident that has appeared in the "Kamen Rider King" manga, the world he is in is not the same world as the world where King King is.
simply put,
If the King of Time's world is compared to an apple tree, then his world is a pear leaf bud that Tide has carefully prepared and cultivated to be grafted onto the fruit tree.
Moreover, this leaf bud has no roots and no source, and has no other way to survive except for successful grafting.
Because he really couldn't imagine the possibility of "peaceful coexistence" between his world and King Shi's world.
And at that moment, Tid placed a choice in front of him...
Survive, or perish?
Survival is the instinct of living things. Of course "Shougo Tokiwa" doesn't want to die, but in this case, isn't there only one choice he can make?
"Survive"……
That was the answer Teed wanted.
But at that same time, the voice of King Shi echoed in his mind, giving him another choice...
The choice of "destruction".
King Shi told him, choose me...
Whether it's your world or mine, I will save it!
And while making the promise, he informed him of the truth about the world...
Yes, another truth about the world.
And, in this truth, his world is equally fragile.
Fragile...yet tenacious.
So he followed that voice and came here, where he saw the tomb of the alien Den-Liner's wreckage, the insurmountable border wall, and the car that kept moving forward among the wreckage, trying to challenge the border wall. Wall Warrior...
Thinking of this, "Tokiwa Shougo"'s pupils refocused and his eyes fell on Tsukuyomi.
Should we believe the promise given by Shogo Tokiwa in another world...
He just asked those questions because he actually wanted to get some "reference materials" from Tsukuyomi.
However, what he didn't expect was...
Only then did he ask the third question and began to inquire about the reason why Tokiwa Shougo in another world persisted in his dream of becoming a king...
He couldn't ask any more questions.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that Tsukuyomi would say such a thing when he asked the third question.
Because of this, although he couldn't ask any more questions...
However, he didn't need to ask any more questions.
Because, just now, the light in Tsukuyomi's eyes when he answered that paragraph made everything clear.
He had already guessed what kind of reference answer Tsukuyomi would give when he asked the next question.
——Since he made a promise, he will definitely fulfill that promise, because he is arrogant!
——As long as it is possible, even if it is only a one-thousandth chance, he will want to get that fruit, because he is lustful!
【The arrogant and lustful demon king! 】
However, Tsukuyomi fell in love with Tokio who possessed these qualities.
Most love at first sight in this world doesn't end well.
Most of them are because the three views are not consistent...
However, these two are a perfect match!
Realizing this, "Tokiwa Shogo" looked at Tsukuyomi and couldn't help but whisper to himself.
"I seem to understand why Shi Wang has always liked you..."
"Um?"
Tsukuyomi, who didn't understand what "Tokiwa Shogo" was saying, made a nasal noise in confusion.
"No, it's nothing."
"Tokiwa Shougo" shook his head.
Immediately, he raised his hand, pointed to the high border wall in front of him, and the alien Den-Liner that had already arrived in front of the high wall and started bombarding the high border wall, and asked instead.
"Do you know what time that high wall represents?"
After saying that, before Tsukuyomi could reply, "Tokiwa Shougo" had already replied by himself.
"...2018, December 3, 0:00, 0:00."
…
…
"December 3, 2018? How could it be today!?"
In Den-Liner, Gates asked Ryotaro Nogami and Yuto Sakurai a common doubt.
But obviously, no one at the scene could answer his question.
But even so, they couldn't stop the plan at this time.
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn...
What's more, Windtalos has entered the gate of the past and flew towards the past.
If they stop here, what will happen to Windtalus?
Therefore, after the initial shock, Nogami Ryotaro quickly made a decision.
"Let's go too...this is what we have to do, isn't it?"
Sakurai Yuto took a deep breath, nodded and replied:
"Yes, this is our promise to him."
"But we have to take some countermeasures, right? What if this is a trap?"
Gates said quickly.
"Indeed, so I will take the lead in driving the Den-Liner. Yuto, you drive the Zero-Liner and carry Gates far behind me. If an accident occurs... don't worry about me. The plan is important."
Hearing this, Sakurai Yuto looked at each other and Nogami Ryotaro and nodded slowly.
"……I see."
Seeing this, Nogami Ryotaro turned to look at Gates.
"If anything happens...Gates, Yuuto will leave it to you."
"..." Gates was silent for a moment and nodded vigorously.
So, after a while...
Den-Liner No. 5 and subsequent carriages are separated from the front carriage. As the locomotive's date changes, carriages No. 1 to 4 equipped with weapons and equipment soar into the sky. Tracks are formed, wormholes open, and the space-time tunnel is entered.
Then, bang!
Ryotaro Nogami: "???"
What did I just hit?
