Inside the office.
Seeing the teacher who accepted the leave note so readily, Tokiwa Shougo couldn't help but feel melancholy for a moment.
Because in his world, he has become a "habitual offender" and has long lost the qualification to enjoy this kind of pleasure.
so……
How on earth did I go from being a good class monitor who got to and from school on time to a little expert at skipping classes whose teachers were nowhere to be found?
Tokiwa Shogo said goodbye to his teacher and walked out of the office. He stood in front of the window on the third floor and reflected seriously. Then he discovered that the opportunity for all changes seemed to come from his encounter with Tsukuyomi and the others more than two months ago, and then they became Started after Kamen Rider...
As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Tokiwa Shougo's mouth couldn't help but tremble, and then he clasped his hands together and sincerely wished himself in this world.
Well, I sincerely hope that the person in this world will not be like him. The first time is really just the first time, and not the beginning of a deep "leave hell".
Then, Tokiwa Shogo took one last look through the window at the figure below who was walking out of the school gate carrying a lunch box, and turned around with a chuckle.
"Fate, fate, fate, I gave it to you. As for whether you have a share or not, I don't care~~"
Saying this, Tokiwa Shogo turned briskly into the stairwell on the third floor.
【teleport! please! 】
With a fiery red light flashing across the deserted stairwell, Tokiwa Shogo left Ko no Mori High School.
…
…
Hospital.
Gates changed out of his hospital clothes and put back on his own clothes. After waiting for a while, he went out and knocked on the door of the next ward.
"Dong dong dong!"
After a while, such a response sounded from the ward.
"Please come in."
Hearing this, Gates paused slightly, then without hesitation, opened the door and entered.
In the ward, lying on the bed, this world's "Mingguangyuan Gates", hereafter referred to as Mingguangyuan, after seeing Gates, his face did not show too much surprise, but instead there was a trace of certainty that someone A calm smile after the incident.
"Hey, me from another world, are you here to say goodbye to me?"
On the contrary, Gates looked a little surprised by Mingguangyuan's words.
"……You know me?"
He did not answer Mingguangyuan's question, but asked subconsciously.
"Well, I just heard Shingo talk a little bit about you, and then I thought you might want to talk to me, so I asked Tokiwa to take him out to play for a while... Why, didn't you hear the footsteps of them leaving? Did you just come here?”
After hearing this guess that could be said to be "all right", Gates...how should I put it, during this period of time, he gradually put himself in the position of a pure thug, and such an idea suddenly came to his mind.
——Am I so smart?
Perhaps even Gates himself did not expect that one day he would be stunned by his 'own clever mind'.
Seeing this, Mingguangyuan couldn't help laughing.
He did not feel embarrassed because his question was not answered. Instead, he smiled very calmly and waited for Gates to come to his senses.
So, after a while...
After Gates came back to his senses, looking at Mingguangyuan like this, he suddenly felt like "losing".
It's incredible.
He is obviously the one with more life experience, but in terms of character, he loses to an ordinary high school student.
However, he would not feel jealous because of this.
Thinking of this, Gates spoke up.
"You're right, I really want to have a chat with you before I leave this world."
Gates first answered Mingguangyuan's previous questions, and then continued.
"So, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course!" Mingguangyuan nodded.
Therefore, Gates asked the question he wanted to ask after Woz told him the truth about Kuunaga Shingo's hero - the story of Mingkoin.
"I want to know, what kind of thoughts did you, who had no power, have at that time, to fight against the alien Zero North for Shingo Kukunaga?"
Hearing this question, Mingguangyuan was slightly stunned.
"No power...?"
Saying this, Mingguangyuan looked down at his legs wrapped in plaster and smiled bitterly.
"Indeed, compared to the power you have, I am indeed powerless..."
But after saying this, the smile on Mingguangyuan's face became calm and firm again.
"However, even if I am like this, I am at least more powerful than a seven-year-old child, right? In this case, then I have no reason to refuse the words of a child who is about to be completely swallowed up by the darkness of despair. Silent cry for help!”
"Even if you might die?"
"Of course! My dream is to become the savior! How could I do nothing and just run away in that situation?"
"But, judging from the situation at the time, you may not be able to change anything except for yourself. Isn't that okay?"
"It doesn't matter! Because I'm not doing useless work! I told the child that he is not alone, so even if I fail to save him, then I can at least make the child feel that at the last moment of his life Light, not darkness.”
"Then if you are the only one who survives in the end, but lose your legs forever, can you guarantee that you will not regret it in the future?"
This time, Mingguangyuan did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before replying:
"I can't guarantee it, but I know that if I ran away at that time, I would have given up my dream of becoming a savior. So, at least now, not only will I not regret it, but I will also be proud of myself for having such courage at that time. "
So, just like that, Gates' problem became...
"Do you really think your dream of becoming a savior can be realized? Is it really worth risking your life for such an impossible dream?"
This time, Mingguangyuan gave his answer without hesitation, as if he had already hidden it in his heart.
"Tokiwa's great-uncle, Mr. Junichiro once said this to me - the value of a dream is not determined by whether it can be realized! So, I think it is worth it!"
Hearing this, Gates was silent for a moment, then asked: "Jiban...you mean Shogo Tokiwa, right? Are you friends in this world?"
"That's right." Meikoin nodded, then smiled, "Don't just talk about me, in your world, aren't you and Tokiwa Shogo in your world also friends?"
"No! I'm not..."
Gates' subconscious retort was interrupted by Mingguangyuan.
"You don't need to cover up in front of me, right?"
Gates: "..."
He was silent for a while and then answered in a different way: "Do you really think I can be friends with King Shi?"
Mingguangyuan asked: "Why not?"
"Why... of course it's because he is the Demon King who will become the most ferocious and evil Demon King in the future, and I am the core member of the Demon King's resistance. From the beginning, I came here to prevent him from becoming the Demon King. of this era.
"But now, I have helped him a lot. If I become friends with him again, then what is my mission?
"I'm here to stop him from becoming the Demon King, not to help him become the Demon King!"
Faced with Gates' answer, Mingguangyuan smiled and said calmly: "I think you may have got your mission wrong."
As a senior "fake fan", Meikoin certainly has not read the manga "Kamen Rider Zi-o".
Therefore, as a reader from God's perspective, he has a different understanding of Gates' mission.
Just listen to what he said to Gates: "Your mission is to prevent the birth of the most ferocious and evil demon king, not simply to prevent the birth of the demon king, isn't it?"
As soon as these words came out, Gates's eyes suddenly widened due to the excitement of emotion.
Actually, can you still think like this?
To distinguish the most ferocious Demon King from the Demon King of Time... What Mingguangyuan proposed at this time was an angle that he had never thought of before.
Looking at Gates with such an expression, Mingguangyuan smiled and continued: "So, let's not talk about the future without you by King Toki's side, just talk about the present. As long as you think that King Toki you know will not become A vicious Demon King, then of course you can become friends with King Shi!"
"But what if..."
"Are you trying to say, what should you do if the current King of Time takes the wrong path and changes from a good demon king to a bad demon king?"
"right."
"What's right!? You are friends, aren't you? At that time, whether it is your mission as the Demon King's resistance force or your responsibility as the friend of the King of Time, isn't it to bring the King of Time back to the right path? So, What are you still hesitating about? You should understand, right? Your beliefs, your mission, and your desire to become a friend of the King of Time do not conflict with each other!"
Finally, Mingguangyuan said this.
"So, your conclusion is...?"
Gates was a little excited, but also a little dazed: "...Become the friend of the King of Time!"
"Yes." Mingguangyuan nodded with satisfaction, "That's it!"
…
At the same time, outside the ward door, when Tokiwa Shogo heard this, he couldn't help but applaud for Meikoin.
Wonderful!
And at the same time thinking:
Is this a senior "fake fan"? Love it, love it.
So, he sent a message to Gates, and no longer waited, but took out the Denou Knight watch, turned the dial, and started it.
【Dian Wang! 】
Then he grabbed the door handle of the ward where Gates lived before, turned it, pushed it open, and walked in.
…
Then, a moment later.
Gates, who walked out of the Meikoin ward, followed the instructions of the message Shogo Tokiwa just sent him and returned to the ward where he lived before. He raised his hand and pushed the door open...
Then he was shocked to find that behind the door was not the ward where he lived before, but a rainbow-colored desert space.
Moreover, there is a tram parked in the desert space behind the door.
And that tram is exactly...
"den-liner!?"
"Wrong! It's the zi-oden-liner I summoned with the Den-O Knight Watch!"
After Tokiwa Shougo finished speaking proudly, he stretched out his hand towards Gates.
"I won't say any more. Come on, get in the car, we're going home!"
Home... Gates stood at the door in silence for a moment, then a bright smile suddenly broke out on his face, he stepped into the door, raised his hand to hold Tokiwa Shogo's hand, and was pulled into the cabin by him.
"Squeak~~"
"laugh!"
Together with the sound of the ward door that connected to the desert of time slowly closing, there was the sound of the tram door closing.
as well as……
"Ugh——!"
The sound of the tram's whistle sounded at the end and was instantly cut off by the ward door being completely closed.
"Crack!"
Then, he moved his perspective away from the closed door of the ward, went to the hospital lobby, put it on the clock hanging on the wall, and discovered that the time at this time was exactly——
