Chapter 94 Tokiwa Sougo: Let's Go Bad
Chapter 94 Tokiwa Sougo: Let's Go Bad (22)
Since waking up in modern times and being fed a large amount of nutritional potions by Tsubaki Shuichi after the battle at Aokigahara, Kawahara discovered that absorbing external energy is really suitable for restoring physical strength.
The easiest way to obtain this kind of "external energy" without harming others is food.
So he was not hungry, but Lingshi was very hungry.
"Zhuang Wu..."
Kawahara looked over there with hazy eyes, and saw a standing knight in crimson armor confronting a half-kneeling magenta knight on the ground.
Kamen Rider Geiz and Kamen Rider ZiO.
Why did these two people fight?
Kawahara was puzzled when a bag of bread was suddenly handed to him: "This?"
"Oh, thank you very much..."
Kawahara, who was hungry, took it subconsciously and glanced at the person next to him. He saw a young man wearing camouflage clothes and a magenta shirt underneath.
Why does this outfit seem familiar?
They passed the food to each one as if no one was around.
After Tokiwa Sougo and Gates were stunned for a moment, Gates was the first to react and his heart was filled with anger again.
"So you two are in the same group! No wonder you are so reckless. Go to hell - Demon King!"
The weapon in Gates' hand, the "Time and Space Axe", gathered energy, and he was about to deliver the final blow to ZiO in front of him angrily. Tsukuyomi, who noticed it, only had time to shout: "Wait——"
Tokiwa Sougo was unable to react this time, and he had not resisted in the first place, so he could no longer avoid this attack.
Seeing this scene, Kadoya transformed instantly, but when he raised his gun, the Time Axe had already fallen.
Perhaps, everyone present was stunned by the little action just now, and only Gates was seriously thinking about whether to end ZiO.
And now the answer has appeared!
"Wow——!"
As the flash energy flashed, the axe fell towards ZiO's head, but Kawahara, with a piece of bread in his mouth, instantly appeared in front of Tokiwa Sougo.
When he subconsciously raised his hand to block, a flash of inspiration came to his brain.
Eh? So, why did I teleport in human form?
As the crimson attack came close, a strange dark wave erupted from Kawahara's body, but as he blocked the attack, he was also chopped down to the ground.
"Mr. Kawahara——"
The stunned Tokiwa Sougo came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to catch the fallen Kawahara.
The Decade Knight card gun attack was launched immediately afterwards, and after repelling the stunned Gates away from them, Kadoya Shi walked over.
“Ah, hey, hey~ I didn’t notice it for a moment.”
He sighed and scratched his head: "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. As expected, when this guy is around, things will develop in a direction I never expected."
After looking at Kawahara who had fallen on Tokiwa Sougo and lost consciousness, Kadoya looked at Gates and said, "But no matter what, I can't let you do it again."
The defeated Gates looked at him: "This attitude... Why are you protecting ZiO? So are you guys also in the same group?!"
He had encountered so many strange and bizarre guys today, and every one of them was related to ZiO. Gates was already worried about ZiO's affairs, and now his vigilance was raised to the extreme.
At this time, Tsukuyomi, who was not far away, also ran over and stood between them: "Gates——"
"Gates! That's enough!"
She was about to say something, but was stopped by Tokiwa Sougo who suddenly burst out shouting. In an instant, the three of them subconsciously looked at him.
Zi-O's magenta eyes stared at them.
"I am ZiO. If I am the only one who wants to end this, then you can do whatever you want. I—"
Tokiwa Sougo's voice was extremely calm at this moment, but he couldn't finish his words because the power in his body suddenly flowed uncontrollably to the person in his arms.
It was as if the air he was breathing was suddenly cut off, and Tokiwa Sougo took a deep breath. ZiO's knight posture instantly disappeared in a burst of red light.
He suddenly collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion, staring blankly at Kawahara who was slowly raising his head in front of him.
……
Kawahara was awakened by the struggle in his body.
But this fight did not make him feel uncomfortable, because the spirit stone tried its best to repair its injured body, and the "mind power" spared no effort to replenish the energy he needed to consume.
He had an inexplicable feeling that the two were competing to see who was stronger. So when he realized that he might be absorbing the power of others, Kawahara immediately came to his senses and stopped this thought behavior.
It's like an instruction specially set for the brain.
Before, Kawahara had made a lot of preparations after deciding to visit the ZiO world. He tentatively used his "telepathic power" to constantly remind himself that he must wake up at a certain moment. Therefore, the moment he was summoned to the ground, he was awakened by himself.
This method of preventing himself from unconsciously absorbing the power of others is also a kind of psychological preventive device for him.
"Are you OK?"
Kawahara stood up and looked at Tokiwa Sougo who seemed frightened.
He didn't even blink in the life-or-death moment when facing Gates' attack, but when it came suddenly, it really frightened Tokiwa Sougo.
For a moment he even felt like he was going to die.
In response to Kawahara's question, Tokiwa Sougo came to his senses and shook his head quickly with an embarrassed look on his face.
However, the feeling of "dying" was just an illusion as if he had foreseen it. In fact, he was just a little weak for a moment, and has recovered now.
Although Kawahara still felt a little tired, the most important thing now was to resolve the current situation first, otherwise it seemed that Tokiwa Sougo might be so desperate that he would encounter a demon on the spot - what if this timeline really existed.
So he stood up from the ground and looked at Gates who was confronting Decade and was blocked by Tsukuyomi.
"Meikoin Gates, stop it."
Kawahara said seriously: "Regarding the history of this world being rewritten, regarding your memories that have disappeared due to the change in history, regarding the demon king to be defeated - it is better for you to make a decision after a good conversation."
Gates clenched his fists and snorted, "Why should I listen to you? Who knows if this is a trick of the devil!"
Hearing this, Tokiwa Sougo looked at him and felt a huge sense of powerlessness in his heart. He did not refute anything, but just lowered his head in silence.
After separating from Kawahara, Tokiwa Sougo first went to the watch shop to find his uncle, but was treated as a stranger.
Then when he heard that some alien knights were attacking the people and went to help, he was attacked by Gates and Tsukuyomi whom he met. Later, he met Woz, but was attacked by the new demon king, Alien ZiO, who the other party was loyal to.
From Oma Zi-O to the battle with Gates just now, Tokiwa Sougo has really suffered enough inexplicable beatings today.
So he completely gave up.
Kawahara looked at Tokiwa Sougo, whose eyes were lifeless as if he was thinking about encountering a demon, and then looked at Gates who still wanted to fight.
"There won't be any tricks that would cost you your life. ZiO's actions in the face of your attack just now were enough to give him a chance to explain."
Kawahara stroked his chin and said, "Unless... Meikoin Gates really lacks the ability to think calmly?"
Gates: "..."
When Gates was about to get angry, Tsukuyomi quickly held his arm and said, "Gates, I want to hear their ideas!"
Geiz shook her hand away in annoyance. Tsukuyomi thought he disagreed, but the next second he took off the Geiz control dial on the space-time drive and canceled his transformed posture.
"Okay, then I'll give you a chance to explain! About ZiO, about your behavior just now, and about this guy's current identity!" Gates said to the three people in a stern voice.
Hearing this, Tsukuyomi heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing that they finally stopped shouting for war, Kadoya Kadoya took out Decade's knight card and canceled his transformation.
"so……"
Then he turned his head and grumbled quietly: "Why do I have to explain too?"
……
……
In fact, in this part of the plot, Sougo's experience is really miserable, super miserable, and he is abandoned by everyone, but the bright color tone of Reiwa seems to neutralize this miserable situation.
When I was writing this chapter, Hatsune Miku's song was playing in my mind on a loop - "I give up~ I quit~ Being a demon king is so tiring~"
……
【Tips】
The spiritual stone actually squeezes the upper limit of life to forcibly recover from injuries, so Kawahara's recovery process is actually = the need to replenish the missing energy of life = (judgment by telekinesis) to absorb the life energy of others to replenish himself.
Sougo/Omae: It’s okay, just be patient QAQ.
Sougo/Omahou: It’s okay, you can suck it as you like (ー`ー).
