Gates had a dream.
In the dream, he wandered alone in the deserted nine-to-five office.
He kept calling Tokio, Tsukuyomi, and even Woz's name.
But there was only an empty echo in response to him.
In the process, he happened to look into a mirror.
Immediately afterwards, the whole person froze on the spot.
I saw him in the mirror, his temples were gray and his appearance was old...
When I suddenly woke up, the sky was already bright.
Gates opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, then got up from the bed, raised his hand to touch his cheeks and temples, and murmured in a low voice.
"Is it...a dream?"
After a long silence, he lifted off the quilt, got down to the floor, put on his sports clothes, opened the door, walked out of his bedroom, and walked downstairs.
Unexpectedly or not, Tokiwa Shougo had woken up and was wearing sportswear for morning exercise and changing shoes downstairs.
He didn't look like he was going to participate in a trial with an uncertain future, but rather going for a daily morning exercise.
"The King of Time..."
Hearing Gates's voice, Tokiwa Shogo looked back and said with a smile:
"Want to come together?"
He made an invitation to Gates.
"good!"
Gates took a deep breath, walked quickly to Tokiwa Shougo, and began to change his shoes.
Immediately, he and Tokiwa Shogo walked out of the nine-to-five hall and ran side by side.

【April 24, 2009】
Car accident scene.
The wormhole opens.
Tsukuyomi flew out of it in the Time Demon Machine and landed.
She carried the child Kakogawa Feiryu out of the Time Demon Machine, and exiled Kakogawa Feiru to the child Tokiwa Shogo who was also unconscious.
Then, she raised her hand back to turn the Time Demon Machine back into a knight mechanical watch and put it away.
Immediately afterwards, the card with a golden clock in Tsukuyomi's pocket lit up.
"So fast……"
Tsukuyomi frowned and looked at Kadoya who was already standing opposite.
"You can't blame me for that."
Kado Yashi spread his hands and smiled.
"That's the result of Tokiwa Shogo's eagerness to accept the trial."
However, Tsukuyomi looked at Kadoya Shi suspiciously, with a look of disbelief.
"...Did you tell Zhuangwu something? For example, you won't be able to see me before the trial or something?"
According to Tokiwa Shogo's temperament of not forgetting to tell her everything in the past, Tsukuyomi didn't believe that Tokiwa Shogo would leave her without saying goodbye for no reason at this time.
Because that is tantamount to losing the chain at a critical moment.
And the fact is just as Tsukuyomi thought...
Kado Yashi's expression immediately froze, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
By finding such a girlfriend, wouldn't the Demon King be afraid of being eaten to death by her in the future?
Thinking like this, Kadoyashi tried to quibble: "Could it be that you are too sensitive? I know that you and Tokiwa Shougo are lovers, but he can't tell you everything about himself, can he? It can't be that he is afraid You were worried, so you didn’t..."
Before he finished speaking, Kado Yashi saw Tsukuyomi take out his future mobile phone, dialed Tokiwa Shogo's number in front of him, and turned on the speakerphone.
[Du—du—]
[Hello, the number you dialed is not in the service area, please call again later...]
After a similar broadcast, Tsukuyomi hung up the phone and looked at Kadoyaji intently.
Kadashi: "..."
Yes, I really can’t fool him.
"Okay, I admit it."
Kadoya Shi gave up concealing it and said calmly.
"I really don't want Tokiwa Shogo to know that you also participated in this trial."
After a pause, he asked Tsukuyomi.
"So, you won't raise your bet?"
As soon as Kado Yashi finished speaking, he heard a clear mechanical sound effect.
【Tsukuyomi! 】
Tsukuyomi activated the Tsukuyomi watch she just got and took out the card with the golden clock on it.
Obviously, Tsukuyomi answered with practical actions.
Again, Tsukuyomi neither believes in Toki-O nor Kadoya Shi.
But she believed in Tokiwa Shogo.
Since this is the only way for Tokiwa Shogo to get the Decade table, winning can make up for Tokiwa Shogo's regret.
Well, she's willing to risk everything for it.
Therefore, Kado Yaji's concealment will not only make her feel uncomfortable...
It won't surprise her, nor will it change her choice.
As the white energy of the moon lit up around Tsukuyomi, the golden clock hands in the card in her hand suddenly began to rotate.
clatter! clatter! clatter--!
Encased in a fluorescent package of intertwined moon white and light gold, Tsukuyomi's body began to become transparent and disappear bit by bit.
And at the last moment when Tsukuyomi was about to disappear, she turned her head and lowered her gaze to Tokiwa Shogo's face.
She wanted to say a sentiment.
However, when her eyes really dropped to Tokiwa Shogo's young and immature face, in an instant, all the emotions that had just been brewing in her heart turned into a dumb laughter.
[What was I thinking just now... Heh, I'm really crazy too. ]
Shaking his head, in the end, Tsukuyomi's words to the eight-year-old Tokiwa Shogo in this world were only a blessing and an expectation.
"Zhuangwu, no matter how time changes, you are destined to be born as a king and become the most benevolent and kind king."
"...I'll wait for you in the future."
Tsukuyomi disappeared.
Something was being pulled over.
That was Tsukuyomi's original world line, where Tsukuyomi was once exiled.
Because Tsukuyomi has become a Kamen Rider, it begins to integrate with this world just like the world of knights that have already integrated with this world.
…
…
at the same time.
Swaruz, who was standing in front of a full-length mirror covered with black cloth, suddenly changed his expression and looked towards the sky.
Shock, confusion, astonishment, anger...all kinds of emotions appeared on his face.
Immediately afterwards, there was a gradually crazy laughter.
"Hehe-hehe-hehehahahahahaha-"
Although he doesn’t know the specific process, that does not prevent Swaruz from deducing some truth from the results.
for example……
"You are really my good sister, Tsukuyomi!"
Amidst the laughter, Swaruz's angry words continued to explode like artillery bombardment.
"Father, have you seen it? Have you seen it!?"
"You actually use your own world to make up for other people's world..."
"This is your chosen heir to the throne!"
"This is why you gave up on me!"
"This is what you call, the one who has the strongest time talent and will become the hope of our world. King! Throne! Successor! Successor! Person——!"
Swaruz lifted the black cloth covering the mirror.
"I will prove that I am the strongest!"
While spreading the Aurora Curtain bit by bit on the mirror surface, Swaruz regained his composure and said.
"You don't need to agree. I can become a king on my own... and become a king that surpasses you!"
Swaruz stepped forward proudly, his body slowly blending into the mirror.
"I'm not asking for your permission."
…
…
Mirror world.
Under the tree of life.
As soon as Swaruz appeared, everything fell silent.
Time stops!
However, in this state of cessation, there was still the sound of breaking wind.
That is the guardian left to this world by Shougo from the Mirror World.
The Guardian Knight of the Tree of Life——Dragonfly!
Swaruz turned around and raised his hand.
【Decade! 】
Accompanied by deep mechanical sound effects.
Bang——!
The palms wrapped in the alien Decade armor firmly blocked the dragonfly's flying kick.
