Chapter 73 Kawahara: Monsters, please get out of here!
07:22pm.
PolePole Cafe, Bunkyo Ward.
The cafe became deserted again after lunch.
After cleaning the kitchen utensils, Asahina Nana looked at the man who was sitting in a daze in the corner, and after thinking for a moment, she trotted over to him.
"Brother Kawahara, how about I go for a walk with you? Look, the moonlight tonight is really beautiful~" Nana said expectantly.
"No, I don't really want to go out."
Kawahara, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and said.
Asahina was a little discouraged, but soon she had an idea and said, "In that case, how about you take me home, Brother Kawahara? Look, it's getting dark outside now, I want to be alone..."
Kawahara rubbed his forehead, looked at the sky outside, and stood up.
Just when Asahina Nana became happy.
Kawahara brushed her off and walked towards the stairs: "Sorry, I seem a little tired. I'll trouble Godai to take you home later."
As he spoke, he had already walked up to the second floor and disappeared around the corner. Asahina Nana immediately became deflated again, and she sat down on the table with a depressed look on her face, pursed her lips.
"Really? What happened to Kawahara-san recently?"
"..."
Godai Yusuke, who was sweeping the floor at the door, was looking at the direction of the stairs. When he heard her words, he turned around, gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll take you home later!"
So Asahina Nana turned her little head and jumped up excitedly again: "Then I'll trouble you, Godai-nii~"
……
……
The next day, 08:59am.
One night later, the explosion at the West Factory in Shinjuku District had completely fermented.
The media had written about the previous port incident, and the damage caused by the explosion this time also affected the operation of the railway line, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of sensitive public opinion.
"Really? These guys are really good at nitpicking. The battles between No. 4 and No. 2 are not easy to begin with!"
The jewelry store manager complained as he cut out news reports about "Kuga" from the newspaper and pasted them onto the collection book he made with transparent tape.
The media is accustomed to using the power of public opinion to condemn and question the Metropolitan Police Department for allowing the other two monsters to wreak havoc on the city. Although the Metropolitan Police Department did not give any explanation, it seemed to be secretly trying to shirk responsibility.
Kawahara always sat at the dining table in the right corner of the store, quietly reading the newspaper in his hand.
Although he was reading a newspaper, his expression remained calm and his eyes were unfocused, as if he had wandered into another time and space.
The jade store manager behind the bar talked to himself for a long time but no one responded. When he looked up, he saw that the man was still blinking.
Dengdengdeng-
At this time, there were dense footsteps on the wooden stairs, and the jewelry store manager looked over and greeted: "Yusuke, you're awake."
"Good morning, Dad!"
Yusuke Godai responded quickly, then turned his gaze to Kawahara in the corner, and after an unexpected exclamation, he immediately moved over.
"Good morning, Kawahara-senpai!"
"…Ah? Good morning."
Kawahara, who heard the noise, glanced at him.
Godai Yusuke looked at him seriously: "Kawahara-senpai, don't you have to go to work today?"
Kawahara paused and came back to his senses: "No, I took one more day of sick leave. I don't really want to go to the company today."
Yesterday, Yusuke Godai helped him take a sick leave, so Kawahara naturally still hasn't recovered from his illness.
Besides, he has been in a bad mood these past two days. If he goes to the company to face the new administrative director who is always staring at him and finding fault with him, there is no guarantee that he will turn evil on the spot.
Yusuke Godai nodded and sat down at the table next to him.
He seemed to be thinking about what to say.
The result was before this.
Kawahara looked at him first and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to tell me something?"
Because the purpose is so obvious.
Godai Yusuke scratched his hair and said, "Ah... How should I put it? Actually, Mr. Ichijo also told me something about the Metropolitan Police Department last night."
Kawahara nodded: "Really?"
Since he specifically brought up this matter, what Kaoru Ichijo was talking about was definitely not some anecdote from the Metropolitan Police Department. It was probably just the situation that the other party told him yesterday.
It's not surprising that the other party told Yusuke Godai.
Therefore, Kawahara said directly: "There is nothing to worry about this kind of thing, and this is not the reason why I am worried." "Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Yusuke Godai was stunned.
His eyes moved downwards, and he suddenly noticed that Kawahara was not reading the financial newspaper today. On the slightly tilted newspaper there was a very large headline of "Unconfirmed Life Form No. 4".
"This is..." Yusuke Godai pointed.
"Do you want to see it? Here."
Kawahara handed it over directly, and successfully saw the expression on Yusuke Godai's face gradually become silent.
After all, the newspapers were full of condemnation of the destruction caused by them despite their great power, and even the term "biological weapons" was used without any hesitation, as if they had equated them with "Gurongi".
However, Yusuke Godai was not paying attention to these criticisms. He looked at the data on the disaster area in Shinjuku District published below the report.
He watched in silence and didn't say anything for a while.
"How do you feel?" Kawahara, who was stirring his milk coffee, suddenly spoke.
"Eh?"
Yusuke Godai looked up.
After noticing Kawahara's expression, he looked at the newspaper in front of him again, and as if he realized something, Yusuke Godai perked up and smiled.
"Because in order to deal with No. 38, I feel that we must use the sublimation power in red form. There is nothing we can do about this result. And next time we will be prepared, right?" He smiled and gave a thumbs up again.
"..."
Kawahara, who was drinking his morning coffee, looked at him silently.
Then, as if he was getting into an argument, Kawahara turned the newspaper over again. The report on the back was naturally about the Minato incident that was brought up again in connection with this one.
Yusuke Godai: "..."
He didn't even wait for any more ways to encourage people.
Kawahara asked curiously, "Come to think of it, I've never asked you before, how do you feel about a fight like mine? I'm different from you, so sometimes I really can't consider some issues."
Just like his battle with the turtle-type Gurongi, he really just beat and smashed everything along the way.
Even though the all-round Kuuga didn't make him lose his mind, Kawahara still wouldn't subconsciously consider the surrounding situation when fighting.
He either thinks of it ahead of time or realizes it too late.
But this situation seems to rarely happen to Yusuke Godai. He can even foresee the damage he may cause before using his Sublimated Omnipotence.
It's like a subconscious protective instinct.
Godai Yusuke said seriously: "We can't ask everyone to be perfect. I can't do it either. I just want to do something that I want to do. I believe that Kawahara-senpai feels the same way!"
After saying this, Godai Yusuke suddenly spoke up again, looking at Kawahara who seemed to be thinking about something: "So it's because of this?"
However, Kawahara shook his head again: "No."
How could he be troubled by these questions that he had already thought about? He just wanted to tease Yusuke Godai.
Yusuke Godai: "..."
What on earth is going on? !
Godai Yusuke was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that Senior Kawahara was bullied at work?!"
His eyes widened in shock at his own conjecture.
Because Kawahara has no motivation to go to work recently, he has not returned home on time for a week in a row!
This is incredible!
Kawahara's mouth twitched.
He may be a bit bullied in the workplace, but there is no need to do so. And why do you think he likes going to work? He is not a corporate slave!
Going to work is just to regulate life!
Kawahara sighed and said, "Godai, do you remember my fight with No. 38 yesterday? The Knight Kick at that time..."
"Ah! At that time——"
Godai Yusuke said excitedly: "It's really strange. When Kawahara-senpai jumped into the air, he suddenly disappeared, but he appeared on the other side the next second. It looks like he kicked it. What's going on?"
Kawahara: I just kicked it and it exploded something.
"Five generations..."
Kawahara held his forehead and sighed heavily: "Our world..."
I'm afraid the Demon King will target me...
After realizing that he was indeed summoned by the Kamen Rider "ZiO" yesterday, Kawahara seemed to suddenly understand why the people in the original world were so unwelcome to the little devil's visit.
Because Kawahara is in a similar mood now.
He really doesn't want to get involved in the history created by Zi-O!!
World chaos go away!
