Chapter 374 Companions
There it is again.
If it was the former Kazushi Kadoya, he might still answer in a nonchalant and casual tone - of course there was only one!
But this time, Kazushi Kadoya was silent for a moment and then said, "I don't know, but..."
Bang!
He suddenly slapped the table so hard that the cutlery seemed to shake, and then Kadoya pointed at Kawahara and spoke sternly.
"I'm the only Kadoya who will fight alongside a guy like you!"
"……Really."
Kawahara paused and chuckled: "In that case, you must look at me seriously from now on."
Kazushi Kadoya looked at him somewhat confused.
Kawahara finished the remaining pork chop rice and took a sip of the tea next to him.
Then he stood up and looked directly at Kadoya Kadoya in front of him.
"Compared to the identity of the destroyer of the world, I prefer Kamen Rider Decade to Kamen Rider Kadoya. But since he is a Kamen Rider, he will never abandon his companions, nor will he do anything recklessly that will hurt his companions, whether in battle or otherwise."
Kawahara spoke slowly, his originally calm eyes suddenly became sharp, and Kadoya Kadoya, who was looking at him, suddenly tensed up.
Then I heard someone chanting in my ear.
“I don’t know why you think it’s best to cooperate with Dai Shocker, but this is not a wise plan in any way, because you will completely destroy your trust in your companions!
"This incident directly exposes your arrogance, conceit and contempt for everything!
"I guessed your plan, so I didn't really eliminate you two instigators in the end, nor did I deal with other super teams because of it.
“But what if there’s someone who’s totally unaware and you’re totally unable to deal with him?
"Or maybe the other knights and teams believed your lies and really started killing each other to protect their own world?
"If it comes to the point where it's irreversible, what are you going to do?"
"Bang!"
Kawahara spoke in a sharp tone as he slowly leaned closer to him, and finally slapped the table hard, shocking Kadoya so much that he subconsciously trembled.
He continued expressionlessly: "Have you really considered the trust your companions have in you by behaving this way?"
Kadoya Shi had already shrunk back weakly under such oppression. He stammered and moved his mouth, his eyes dodging as he muttered, "I know..."
--That's it?
Kawahara's eyes dimmed and he was about to say something else.
But Kazushi Kadoya suddenly looked at him the next moment, then straightened his expression, looked at him seriously and said, "I admit that I took the plan for granted this time. I'm sorry!"
This time, his attitude seemed serious.
Kadoya continued with a smile: "Maybe you are right, I am indeed a little arrogant, and I have not considered what you will do because of your trust in me. It is natural that you will be so angry. Okay, I will discuss this with you later~"
Kawahara looked at Kadoya Kazuya who was approaching him with a smile with an unclear look. He did not respond, and the latter spoke again as expected.
"So do you think we are companions now?"
Kadoya did not ask further whether Kawahara still remembered this incident.
But before that, he had already learned from Philip about a series of things about Consortium X and Ultra Galaxy King, and realized that these guys had already cooperated a long time ago.
When they separated, Kawahara went directly into the core of the Earth for the "Mirror World". Philip only knew that he later appeared briefly in the "Earth Library", but what really happened was probably only known by Kawahara himself.
Philip just received a Gaia memory.
Later, he used the "Arcle Memory" to summon Kawahara back to the Earth Library.
But now, according to Philip, the Gaia memory was accidentally used by him after the incident with the Ultra Galaxy King...
And it’s not clear where it’s used.
——"Even if the Earth Library has evolved to the cosmic level, that guy's existence still cannot be found. Maybe there is something more special? It's really interesting. Do you know anything?"
Then Philip, in high spirits, asked him this soul-searching question.
Kadoya: ...I don’t know anything.
This made Kadoya Kado feel a little complicated, because he seemed to have no idea what Kawahara's situation was.
But this person knew him very well from beginning to end.
Whether in the past or now, whether when we knew each other or not, this guy knew very well what he wanted to do.
Just like this time.
So, can he, who knows nothing, really be considered this person's companion?
Kawahara suddenly put his finger against his forehead and said, "The relationship between companions is not that complicated. Just like what you said at the time - as long as you still remember me, as long as you are still Kamen Rider Decade and Kadoya Shi, then I will always be your companion."
slap~
As soon as he finished speaking, Kazushi Kazuya was hit on the forehead, and then the other party's sinister voice sounded again.
"The opposite is the enemy!"
“…Isn’t this complicated?”
Kadoya covered his forehead and said angrily: "And I know I was wrong. Dai Shocker has been completely destroyed by you. Even if I want to do this again in the future, I will definitely tell you first!"
——There will be a next time?
Kawahara raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but didn't say anything else.
Because this guy will really come next time.
But as long as he stops carrying out this lame plan from everyone, and actually leads the monster army to attack the knights and the teams, if any link in this process fails, there might really be irreparable victims.
Kawahara did not mention the "amnesia" idea that he had used to fool Kaito Daiki before (so that he could beat them up with more peace of mind).
After all, Kazuto Kadoya was at the Narumi Office and had just come out of the W Base. He simply assumed that Philip had told the other party all the truth.
"Okay, now that we're done here, let's go back to Guang Photo Studio. Have you released those people?" Kawahara resumed his familiar tone.
"They have already gone back."
Kadoya Kadoya seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Kawahara turned his head and said, "What is Philip doing in there now? I want to ask him something."
"Then you don't have to go. He just suddenly found something of interest and is now in a state where he can't communicate at all." Kazutomu Kadoya spread his hands.
So he had no choice but to leave before he finished asking questions.
Kadoya looked at Kawahara who had regained his usual calm demeanor, and after a while he hesitated, he asked awkwardly, "I'm going back to the photo studio, how about you?"
Kawahara said casually: "I'll go back with you. I don't have anything special to do right now. I might as well go to other Kamen Rider worlds with you and walk around. Maybe I can find the answer I want. Of course, if you don't want to, forget it. I can go by myself."
He had originally planned to go to the photo studio with this intention, intending to take advantage of the trip while Decade was traveling around.
result……
The result was that Decade was beaten up first.
"Answer?"
Kadoya suddenly perked up and asked actively, "What answer are you looking for? Is it related to the mirror world again?"
Kawahara looked at him strangely: "No, I don't know what the answer is, but anyway, if I can't find it, I will never go back."
"what?"
Kadoya Kadoya was suddenly confused.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something that happened at the beginning - Kawahara said that he was exiled from his own world.
Ah~ It’s really curious!
But judging from Kawahara's behavior, he doesn't seem willing to explain it to him. Whether this guy has memories or not, what he should do remains the same.
For example, it is quite taboo to let him get the card...
This is the only thing that Kazushi Kadoya can see through Kawahara.
He was still a little bothered by the fact that he didn't know the other person well at all, but after staring at Kawahara's back for a long time, Kamen Rider Kadoya thought that there was still a lot of journey ahead.
He would eventually figure out what this person was trying to do. Thinking of this, Kadoya suddenly and quietly took out something he had snatched back from a thief.
After Kawahara said that, he still came to the secret door of W base, pushed it open and looked inside to see what Philip was doing.
The young man was seen holding a book in one hand and writing on a writing board with the other hand. It was obvious that his "knowledge rampage" as if he was oblivious to the people around him would continue for a long time.
——Forget it, I won’t bother you anymore.
After all, Kawahara just wanted to ask Philip whether any changes had occurred after the integration of his "Gaia Memory". By the way, he also wanted to use the memory to enter the Earth Library and take a look.
But this is not so necessary.
Kawahara closed the secret door of the base again, and when he turned around, he just saw Kadoya Kadoya quickly hiding his hands behind his back.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "You better hope that your camera is of good enough quality."
It won’t be crushed by him accidentally one day!
Having been caught, Kazuto Kazuya no longer hid himself. He took out his magenta camera, pointed the camera at the office of Ming Hai's office, and kept talking stubbornly.
"I didn't take a picture of you, it was obviously Aki-chan!"
Click~
The camera shutter was pressed, and Ming Hai Yashu, who was catching a cat behind the desk, just happened to open her eyes wide and turn her head to look over, and the scene was frozen in the lens.
……
……
In a parallel world.
Light Photo Studio.
In the cozy little house illuminated by the warm sunshine, when one person walked out from the silver-white curtain, another person also walked out from the full-length mirror next to it.
Swish—swish—
The two people who appeared in the room in different ways stunned the other two people who were sitting at the tea table eating chocolate hot pot.
"Oh, so sweet."
Kawahara immediately complained when he saw the chocolate pot and the plates of fruit snacks next to it.
After there was nothing happening in Fuuto, the two did not stay there any longer. The reason why Kawahara traveled through the passage of the mirror world by himself was just to try whether he could keep up with Kadoya Shi's pace.
Apparently it's totally fine!
Then Onodera Yusuke rushed over with shining eyes: "Kawahara-senpai! It's been a long time!"
He was holding a string of strawberries with dip in sauce and marshmallows in his left and right hands respectively. Kawahara quickly turned sideways, so Yusuke Onodera pounced on Kadoya Tsuyoshi behind him.
Caught off guard, Kazushi Kadoya didn't have time to dodge, and his clothes were immediately stained with the sweet chocolate sauce.
“Ah! Yusuke—”
"Okay, let's take this as revenge. Who told you to attack me without saying anything?" Onodera Yusuke said righteously.
“That’s also because…”
Just as Kazushi Kadoya was about to make an excuse, he suddenly noticed Kawahara's expression, and Mitsuru Natsumi, who was sitting on the other side, also stood up with his hands on his hips, staring at him with a serious look.
So Kadoya said honestly: "I'm sorry, I acted without telling you clearly and made you worry..."
His attitude of admitting his mistake seemed quite sincere.
Although Mitsunami was still a little angry, Onodera Yusuke was quite easy to coax.
"We have always trusted you, but let's forget about it this time. Just don't do things that can easily lead to misunderstandings in the future! Here, eat."
Yusuke Onodera tried to smooth things over with a broad smile, and raised his hand to stuff the string of marshmallows that had rubbed against his clothes into Kadoya Kadoya's mouth.
Guang Xia Hai said unhappily: "It is because Yusuke never takes it seriously that Shi dares to do such a thing!"
Kazushi Kadoya took a bite of marshmallow, muttered and glanced at Natsumi, and the next moment he was poked hard on the neck by a thumb!

Secret Technique! Guang's Laughing Finger!
“Hahahahaha…Why, Xia Mikan…I’ve already apologized, hahahahahaha…”
"Humph! I still have to teach you a lesson!"
Guang Xiahai put her hands on her hips and glared at him.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha..."
Listening to the background music that was about to make him laugh to the point of groaning, Kawahara also sat down at the tea table, then picked up a bunch of strawberries, dipped them in chocolate sauce and took a bite.
Oh, so sweet.
He immediately looked at Onodera Yusuke and said, "I will follow Shi's journey from now on, will you too, Yusuke?"
Onodera Yusuke nodded, "If Shi hadn't left on his own one day, we would have been planning to go to Fourze's world. Now of course we have to continue the rest of the journey!"
In addition to Yusuke Onodera, Mitsuru Natsumi also acted with Kadoya Tsuyoshi, as they had agreed at the beginning that they would not leave any of their companions behind.
Kawahara raised the corner of his mouth: "Then let's go together!"
……
If we all embark on the journey together.
Old man Koeijiro has to stay at home again.
Guang Xiahai warned worriedly: "Grandpa, if something happens in the store that cannot be solved, let Yalan tell us, and she will know where we are."
Three motorcycles were parked on the side of the road. Yusuke Onodera touched the Ultimate Chaser with shining eyes. What was rare was that the Ultimate Chaser did not reject him.
Kazushi Kadoya sat on the Mechanical 10 with his chin propped up, urging Mitsuri Natsumi over there.
"Hurry up, Natsumikan!"
He immediately laughed and said, "Why don't you just stay here? You're not a Kamen Rider anyway, and it would be troublesome to bring you along~"
Swah——
Guang Xiahai glared at him.
Kadoya Shi pretended to hide backwards: "Oh~ You are really fierce, those weirdos will definitely be afraid of you!"
Kawahara looked at this guy speechlessly, thinking he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't commit suicide. But the next moment his eyes suddenly changed, and he saw a red magic circle appeared on the ground where Mechanical No. 10 was!
Just as he was about to continue teasing Mitsuru Natsumi, Kazushi Kadoya also noticed something.
But when he looked down, the magic circle suddenly passed over him, directly eliminating both him and the motorcycle.
“Eh? Eh——?!”
Yusuke Onodera, who saw Decade disappear on the spot, widened his eyes and screamed in surprise.
Kawahara was stunned and was about to go forward to check the situation, but at this moment, a zipper-like thing suddenly appeared under his feet.
This is……
Before I could even think of anything, the zipper on the ground suddenly opened, revealing a gorgeous and complex scene on the opposite side.
Then "swish"!
The zipper that swallowed Kawahara instantly disappeared.
Yusuke Onodera: "..."
Guang Xiahai: "..."
