Chapter 53 The Reason Why We Have to Do It

Kawahara finally hung up the phone.

However, he did not continue to sit here in autism. After walking out of the sarcophagus, he found another mass-produced experimental Tracker 2000A from the Science and Police Research Institute, and then drove out directly.

As for the one he usually drove, I don't know where it was left last night.

……

11:27am.

Tochigi Prefecture, Honshu Island.

Fengzao Primary School.

The school, which used to be full of laughter and joy, was now deserted. Only the elementary school students in the after-school care class were playing boring games on the playground.

Kanzaki Shoji was writing lesson plans in the office. Feeling a little tired, he stood up, rubbed his brows, and went to the window to watch the children playing on the playground.

In a corner of the playground, the flower bed that had been abandoned and withered by the children has been replaced with new blooming flowers by Kanzaki Shoji today.

So the children started watering again.

Kanzaki Shoji smiled as he watched them playing, then casually glanced around the playground and suddenly noticed a figure leaning against a motorcycle outside the iron fence at the school gate.

For some reason, he seemed to be a little concerned, so he took a few more glances.

The other person's slightly longer hair fell to his shoulders. If it weren't for the jacket and motorcycle that were the same as yesterday, he almost wouldn't have reacted.

After being stunned for a moment, Kanzaki Shoji turned around and walked downstairs.

"Kawahara?"

Kawahara looked back from outside the railing.

Kanzaki Shoji was even more surprised when he saw him: "It's really you! But why did you come here at this time today... How is Godai, Godai?"

Kawahara looked hesitant for a moment—asking Godai Yusuke what happened, of course he was almost beaten to death by him…

He didn't speak for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Kanzaki Shoji paused, then looked at his watch and said, "It's almost noon, why don't we find a place to eat together?"

Kawahara nodded silently.

……

So the two of them sat down at a ramen restaurant near Fengzhao Elementary School.

"Godai is fine."

After choosing the food, Kawahara suddenly spoke.

Kanzaki Shoji paused for a moment and then smiled: "Is that so? That's great!"

But this time he did not continue to ask what happened yesterday, but just turned to talk about what was happening around him.

"I no longer plan to resign!" said Shoji Kanzaki.

"That's good." Kawahara looked at him.

"Actually, just because the children no longer insist on the things they like, I feel that my teaching career is a failure and even want to give up - this decision is actually quite irresponsible!" Kanzaki Shoji smiled helplessly.

"how come!"

Kawahara subconsciously retorted: "Teacher Kanzaki is really an amazing teacher! I admire teachers like you because you really care about the future of children."

As if he could hardly handle such comments, Kanzaki Shoji just shook his head humbly and smiled.

Kawahara paused for a moment and then continued, "And... to me, you must have truly taught a hero."

"hero?"

Kanzaki Shoji was a little confused when he heard this.

He immediately said seriously: "No! Whether a person becomes a hero should not be based solely on the teachings of another person. More importantly, it is the person himself who wants to become such a person. This is his own choice and his own will!"

Kawahara looked at him in a daze.

Kanzaki Shoji then laughed and said, "I think maybe he doesn't consider himself a 'hero' at all. To him, he just did what he wanted to do."

I just did what I wanted to do, and I became a hero.

Perhaps for Yusuke Godai, he really just wanted to protect everyone's smiles and didn't want to see anyone cry anymore.

——But it is really difficult to become such a person.

——No one else can do it except Yusuke Godai.

"Teacher Kanzaki, if..."

Kawahara suddenly whispered, "What if I do what I want to do according to my heart but hurt others?"

——What you want to do will cause harm to other people.

After hearing this, Kanzaki Shoji looked at Kawahara seriously, frowned and asked, "Is there any reason why we have to do this?"

But this made Kawahara unable to answer for a moment.

The reason why you have to do it?
Anxious, fearful?
Hiss...it seems like I haven't really thought about it carefully.

While Kawahara couldn't help but fall into self-doubt, the ramen they ordered was brought up by the waiter.

A bowl of clear soup with thin noodles, a bowl of steaming hot soup.

Kanzaki Shoji didn't want to disturb his thoughts.

After all, at this point, he has more or less realized that the person in front of him is worried about something, and it is probably no better than his state yesterday.

But when he saw Kawahara's bowl of fiery red spicy pork bone ramen, Kanzaki Shoji's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "You probably didn't like the rice cake and red bean porridge yesterday, right?" Kawahara silently broke open the disposable chopsticks.

It certainly wasn't tasty, but he finished it anyway.

Just like he really doesn't like working overtime, but he is still happy to work overtime.

Kawahara paused suddenly when he thought of this.

and so……

Is he really following his heart?

What is it that he really wants to do?
It was as if he had been forced to take this path from the very beginning, and then he slept in a daze until he reached the modern era when he was satisfied. However, his current desire to defeat Daguba seemed to come from another part of his mind.

That black Kuga.

Kawahara lowered his head, and the noodle soup in front of him reflected his current appearance.

This is still a human being.

But soon, the humans above turned into monsters.

He was indeed afraid of himself who had turned into black, so the moment he realized that he had already hurt Riku and Yusuke Godai, he ran away.

Not thinking about how to redeem it.

Instead, avoid it first.

As expected, this [reason] is fear...

Looking at the increasingly silent person, Kanzaki Shoji couldn't help but say, "Although I don't know what happened to you, whether it hurts other people or not, since you have done such a thing, you have to accept any consequences it brings."

"Including bad results?" Kawahara paused.

"Yes, after all, running away won't solve the problem. Yesterday I also wanted to run away from the problems between me and my students, but it was your arrival that made me decide to stick with it. Do you believe it?"

"..."

Kawahara was a little bit unconvinced.

He thought it should be the promised buff of Yusuke Godai.

Although this does seem to be a form of escapist mentality, it's like trying to deny yourself in every possible way.

This also made him feel a little anxious.

escape……

Are you running away?
But what should I do if I face it? How can I face that dark self...

"at this time……"

Kanzaki Shoji suddenly remembered something.

Then he smiled and gave Kawahara a thumbs up: "Become a brave man who can match this gesture. Believe in yourself no matter what. It's okay! - That kid will probably say this with a smile!"

"Become such a hero?"

Kawahara looked at the thumb.

This is indeed very much Yusuke Godai's style.

Kanzaki Shoji looked at him and smiled: "In fact, when I first met you, I had an incredible feeling - you believed in Godai Yusuke so firmly. Although it's a bit strange, it's like some kind of belief. Maybe it's because of this that gave me the confidence to stick to my teaching career!"

Kawahara was stunned when he heard this.

faith?

This statement is indeed strange, but...

The real thing that gave him this feeling should actually be - Kamen Rider!
Yup!

It's Kamen Rider!
Kawahara suddenly stood up from his seat.

Kanzaki Shoji on the opposite side was a little startled, but he saw that the eyes of the person in front of him suddenly lit up, as if they were dotted with stars.

Kawahara looked at his thumb thoughtfully.

Can he face the figure he fears with "Kamen Rider"?
Can he do it?

Kawahara has always felt that he is not the same kind of person as Yusuke Godai, and that he will never become that kind of person, so he has never thought about becoming a real "Kamen Rider".

What should we protect? What should we insist on?
He had absolutely no such great faith in his heart.

Kawahara looked at Kanzaki Shoji and said, "Teacher, do people have to seek something in order to persevere?"

Kanzaki Shoji smiled and said, "No, if you want to face something, it can also become something you stick to, and it will definitely change you."

Kawahara's eyes moved slightly: "I understand."

He always has to face and accept what he fears.

　　This chapter was originally supposed to be released last night, but after I changed the plot relationship between 46-47, I spent several hours deleting, cutting, and pondering. Can you believe it...

　　In the end, I still couldn't write the result I wanted.

　　I really don’t want to have sudden thoughts anymore…
