Chapter 226 Ayara Ryo is still not cold
came back.
This time he didn't need to worry as much as he did last time that he had run into the wrong parallel universe, because just by feeling the aura of this world, he knew that this was where he should be.
Kawahara turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.
"Shoichi."
A smile appeared on his lips.
Tsugami Sho was slightly stunned when he saw him.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that Kawahara seemed a little different when he met him again this time. He was not like before, the person who made him want to get close to him but also felt inexplicably afraid and repulsed.
If I must say, there seems to be an unusual touch of tenderness.
Kawahara had already walked over and held out his hand to him.
As soon as Tsugami Sho reacted, he showed his usual bright smile, stretched out his hand and was pulled up by the other party. Fuuya Manio, who was squatting next to him, also stood up with him in a daze, staring at Kawahara with an inquiring look.
"That's right! That angel——"
Shoichi Tsugami suddenly thought of that place again.
But when he looked towards the place where the angel fell, he saw Scorpion Master struggling to get up, an angel halo appeared above his head, and then he exploded into a handful of light particles and dissipated in front of them.
Sho Tsugami was immediately filled with awe!
He nodded seriously and said, "As expected, Mr. Kawahara is really amazing!"
Kawahara looked at the explosion calmly.
He had used the power of creation when he delivered that punch from the sky just now. If the angel hadn't exploded, he wouldn't have had to confront the Black God again.
Just find a place to bury yourself, then you don’t have to worry about anything.
It was just that he didn't control his power well just now and was unable to feed all of it to Lord Scorpion, which resulted in a hole being blew in the stadium.
But this is common.
Kawahara looked away and smiled at Tsugami Sho, saying, "I've been away for a while, so I'm not too sure about what's happened recently. By the way, is Awihara dead?"
If the body has not been cremated yet, we can pull it out now and take a look at it.
Shoichi Tsugami: “Emm…”
……
After all, Ashihara Ryo is not dead yet. Some time ago, he even turned into Gills and killed a monster.
But Shoichi Tsugami didn't get the answer he wanted from Tetsuya Sawaki, and he didn't want to go back to Professor Misugi's house to face Manao Fuuya, so he returned to PolePole Cafe and didn't find Kawahara.
Looking weak, pitiful and helpless, Shoichi Tsugami was eventually taken in temporarily by a jewelry store manager who heard that he was homeless.
Kawahara: ...Three Kamen Riders have lived in that store so far.
Fuuya Manayu said hurriedly: "Shoichi, why do you want to live outside? Did you remember some memory? My uncle, Taichi and I miss you very much, and you obviously went back secretly to take care of the vegetables, didn't you!"
Tsugami Sho suddenly looked like he had a headache.
When he encountered the crisis of the angel just now, he could still face Fenggu Manyu seriously and at ease, but now he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"Shoichi!"
Fengya Manyu also glared at him angrily.
Kawahara looked at them and said, "Ms. Fengtani, why don't you go back by yourself today? I'll tell Xiangyi to find you after I finish talking about things here."
Fuuya Managi glanced at him inquiringly: "The last time you suddenly showed up, it seemed like you said you knew the former Shoichi, right?"
"You can think of it that way." Kawahara nodded.
"ok, I get it."
Fuuya Mana nodded and said to Tsugami Shoichi: "Shoichi, if you don't come back to find me by then, I will dig out all your cabbages!"
"what?"
Tsugami Shoichi looked at her in amazement.
Speaking of ruining his own vegetable garden, Tsugami Shoichi couldn't help but quickly remind him: "Zhen Yujiang, the cabbage still needs to grow for a while. If you dig it up too early, it won't taste good!"
"I don't care about that!"
Fuuya Mayu snorted at him, then turned and ran away. Tsugami Shoichi could only watch her leave with a depressed look on his face.
Kawahara looked at the girl's back with interest.
Compared to the back-and-forth between Yusuke Godai and Sawatari Sakurako, Manao's feelings for Shoichi Tsugami are quite obvious.
But Xiangyi likes mature and intellectual older sisters...
After Fuuya Manio left, Kawahara asked Mukai Tsugami Shoichi: "What happened to Ashihara and the others recently?"
When I asked about the matter just now, I don't know if it was because he was shy about the existence of Fuuya Manao, but Tsugami Shoichi seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Tsugami Shoichi frowned and said, "I don't know the details. Mr. Ashihara and I dealt with a zebra angel last time, and I haven't seen him since. Miss Okamura hasn't come to the store to help in the past few days."
Although Kana Okamura is studying with a teacher arranged by Tetsuya Sawaki, she occasionally goes to the cafe to help the store manager, the jewelry store.
Given the interest the girl showed in cooking, it was unlikely that she would not show up for several days in a row and not say hello to the store manager.
The store manager was worried and called but got no response, so he asked Shoichi Tsugami to go to the apartment to check on the situation. However, Shoichi Tsugami didn't find anyone there.
I couldn't find Kana Okamura, nor could I find Ryo Ashihara on the other side to help.
Kawahara listened and lowered his eyes thoughtfully.
Lost his whereabouts... In this case, either Ashihara Ryo was about to die, so Okamura Kana didn't bother to say hello to Tsugami Shoichi.
Or maybe something happened to both of them.
"Zemu..."
Kawahara paused and changed the subject: "Has your brother-in-law not contacted you in the past few days?"
Speaking of this, Tsugami Shoichi suddenly widened his eyes and became excited: "Mr. Kawahara, you really know everything about my sister, right! But I went to the Tsugami family to ask before, and that guy didn't tell me anything! Oh, by the way, now I remember what happened in the past. My real name is 'Sawaki Tetsuya'. Don't call me by that guy's name anymore!"
"I understand, Shoichi."
Kawahara nodded and continued, "We'll talk about your sister later. I'll contact Awihara and the others first."
Although the excited Shoichi Tsugami did not answer his question directly, Kawahara also heard some information from his complaints.
As expected, Tetsuya Sawaki still had no intention of revealing the truth to this fool.
No wonder no one can find this guy.
But Kawahara did not contact Sawaki Tetsuya, but took out his well-preserved cell phone and called Kaoru Ichijo.
[“Kawahara? You’re back!”]
The tone of voice coming from the other end of the phone made Kawahara's eyes flash. He asked about Kaoru's recent affairs and made an appointment to meet at PolePole Cafe.
After hanging up the phone, he looked confused for a moment.
Something seems to be wrong.
Kaoru Ichijo was completely unaware of the missing whereabouts of Kana Okamura and Ryo Ashihara.
This means that the Metropolitan Police Department is at peace.
What on earth were those two doing?
Did you elope?
There was no other choice, Kawahara could only choose to call Sawaki Tetsuya again. The other party was now maneuvering between him and Kurokami like an Infernal Affairs. He hoped that he would not run into Kurokami when he called.
He travels back and forth between the two worlds, and the Black God might also sense it. He doesn't know what the other party is thinking now.
But Kawahara doesn't plan to contact them now. He has to solve the problem with Ashihara Ryo first.
Then Kawahara realized that he had overthought.
Because wealthy families have housekeepers who answer the phone.
[“The gentleman said that we should not disturb him at this time. If you have anything to say, please leave a message.”]
"I see. Please tell him to go to PolePole immediately if he has time."
Kawahara sighed after hanging up the phone. He thought the worst that could happen after rushing back would be to have a seat at Ashihara Ryo's table, but he didn't expect there wouldn't even be a seat.
He thought carefully about what could have happened to those two people without Shoichi Tsugami and Kaoru Ichijo knowing about it - first of all, it was impossible for them to be quietly killed by the angels, otherwise both parties would not be completely unaware of it.
As for being quietly killed by the Black God...
Heishen wouldn't do such a tasteless thing, right?
The other one might have been ambushed by someone who was also called "Agito" when he was in contact with the "Daybreak"...
Kawahara narrowed his eyes slightly in thought.
Seeing him busying around, Tsugami Sho came over curiously: "What happened? Mr. Kawahara? Mr. Kawahara? Kawahara——"
"I heard it. Shoichi, you should go back to PolePole now. Your brother-in-law and Ichijo may come over by then." Kawahara said quickly.
"Huh? Why is that guy..."
"I'm going to the Awihara family first."
Kawahara took out a card and threw it on the ground, and it turned into the Ultimate Chaser. Shoichi Tsugami, who was about to continue complaining, immediately widened his eyes, rushed forward in surprise and touched the front of the car.
The Ultimate Pursuer that was touched by him suddenly turned on its red lights and tilted its front to avoid his palm.
The wheels are then retracted and the chassis is suspended in the air.
"Bravo!"
Tsugami Shoichi's eyes lit up.
Kawahara sat down and said, "The situation with Ms. Ashihara and Ms. Okamura is a little strange. If they arrive at the cafe, you can ask them about their situation first. I will be back before nightfall."
After saying this, the Ultimate Tracker flew straight into the sky.
Shoichi Tsugami watched the black shadow disappear, muttered something, and obediently rode his motorcycle back to the cafe.
……
……
Kawahara first went to the apartment where Kana Okamura lived, and after checking the situation, he went to Ryo Ashihara's house.
He expertly picked the lock and entered the door.
This guy's apartment doesn't look as depressed and messy as last time. At least there is a doghouse.
Judging from the traces in their residence, they were probably not in a hurry the last time they went out. After looking at them, Kawahara closed his eyes slightly and felt it.
wow——
Some vague images flashed through my mind.
He didn't find any clues in Kana Okamura's apartment, but this time, he saw Kana Okamura coming to the apartment to find Ryo Ashihara, and then the two of them went out together.
Awihara Ryo was holding a notebook in his hand.
It is indeed related to the [Dawn]!
Kawahara suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door, and just then a figure appeared in the corridor with the door open.
She was a girl with long straight black hair and simple clothes. She seemed a little surprised to see him standing in the room, and then for some reason she turned around and wanted to run.
"stop!"
Kawahara stopped her.
But the girl was not going to listen. She quickly ran down the stairs, but the next second she froze.
The girl widened her eyes in horror, her pupils trembling and fixed in place, until the strange man slowly walked up to her.
"Why are you running?" Kawahara looked at her.
This is a person who has awakened the power of light.
But the aura around him shouldn't be scary now, so is it necessary to run away just because you see him?
The girl opened her mouth tentatively, and then found that she could move again, so she immediately jumped a step away from him.
"How should I know who you are... You are not Mr. Ashihara, but you appear here..." the girl said with a twinkling eye.
"You are not Awihara either, why are you here too?" Kawahara asked back.
"..."
The girl held onto the stair railing and said nothing.
Kawahara crossed his arms and said, "I am his friend. Are you here because of Ashihara "Gills"? What's your name?"
Hearing this, the girl suddenly looked at him, and after looking him up and down for a while with an inquiring expression, she hesitantly said, "Sakaki Aki."
Kawahara's eyes moved slightly.
Aki Sakaki, a survivor of the Morning Rising incident, was a bystander who was illuminated by the light when the power of light gave Shoichi Tsugami power, and the seeds of awakening were planted.
He was quite impressed by the girl.
Because the other party was a girl that Ashihara Ryo developed a crush on after he broke up, they had both planned to support each other in their lives, but fate played a trick on them.
"Ashihara has been missing recently. What is your purpose in coming here?" Kawahara narrowed his eyes slightly.
"what?!"
Sakaki Aki was shocked when he heard this.
Kawahara suddenly came close to her, staring at her with his dark eyes: "Although you seem to be unaware of what happened, I now suspect that your people on the Dawn have attacked him. Tell me everything you know, otherwise..."
An indescribable feeling of oppression descended upon her. Sakaki Aki gasped for breath as if she was suffocating, her whole body pressed against the railing of the stairs, her fingers trembling slightly in fear.
This person made her feel more terrifying than those monsters.
"I...I don't know..."
Sakaki Aki said quickly: "I just heard that Mr. Ashihara and his team were investigating the Dawn, and there was a girl who said they would protect people with super powers, so I thought... I wanted to tell them something about the Dawn!"
"What do you want to say?" Kawahara stared at her.
"...Mr. Kino doesn't like this team very much. He thinks they have ulterior motives, so they asked us to kill Mr. Ashihara, but I think... I think..."
Sakaki Aki gritted his teeth and said with cold sweat: "I just want to be protected..."
She was too scared.
After encountering the monster on the Dawn passenger ship, they were worried about being killed by the monster all the time, and she just wanted to seek protection.
She originally thought that Mr. Kino could protect them, but Mr. Kino had not appeared for a long time.
The Metropolitan Police Department released information to the public some time ago that Unknown's main target is people with special abilities, which made Sakaki Aki terrified to the extreme.
Just at this time, Kana Okamura and Ryo Ashihara found her address.
Not only did he reveal that they were also people with super powers, but Ashihara Ryo could even transform into the same form as "Agito".
Naturally, she also told Mr. Kino and other people on the Rising Sun about this matter, but the order Mr. Kino gave afterwards was to kill Awihara Ryo on the grounds that the other party had ulterior motives.
Because of what happened, the [Monster] warned them not to let anyone know about the [Dawn], otherwise they would be executed.
Sakaki Aki hesitated for a long time about this.
She didn't want to give up on either side, so she decided to be an infernal affairs and secretly come to tell Awihara Ryo about the matter.
Then see which side is stronger...
Unexpectedly, she saw Kawahara, a stranger, at Ashihara Ryo's house. She was already feeling guilty and was worried about being discovered by Mr. Kino, so she subconsciously wanted to run away.
"You...you were not sent by Mr. Kino, right?" Sakaki Aki said nervously.
"Kino Kaoru..."
Kawahara recited the name thoughtfully.
