Chapter 451 True and Respectable
The sky did not know when it began to rain heavily.
Except for Shidao Tsuyoshi who got lost on his own, after everything was over, the three of them temporarily stayed in the abandoned factory to avoid the rain.
"Why……"
Zhuilie sat on the container, his face looking a little confused: "Are you willing to help me like this?"
Is it really just because of the Black Hunter?
This person may sometimes act in a way that is self-willed, but at other times he may be overly tolerant, as if he can listen calmly no matter what request you make.
why……
Kawahara crossed his arms and said lazily: "Maybe it's because your experience gave me a familiar feeling, so I want to see how far you can go if you continue like this... After all, you are also a Kamen Rider."
“Familiar…?” Zhuilie was a little stunned.
After a pause, Kawahara continued his accusation in a bad mood, "And if I really intended to destroy them, you two would definitely attack me! - Forget about Chase, but what's wrong with you, Tomari Shinnosuke?"
"what……"
Toma Shinnosuke, who was staring at the rain outside the door in a daze, came back to his senses and said thoughtfully: "Because I think what Heart said is not without reason."
Kawahara raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
Toma Shinnosuke turned around and paced back and forth, saying, "Although Heart and the others are mechanical mutants, they have always been searching for their own meaning of existence. Just like humans, they also get confused, feel pain, and even... long to be understood."
Heart is the kind of mechanical mutant that desperately desires understanding, and ultimately achieves super evolution with the "understanding of the chosen opponent."
"And he's right. It was us humans who created them and gave them the 'evil heart', so mechanical mutants have the ability to super evolve!" Toma Shinnosuke said solemnly.
『“Shinnosuke…”』
Hearing this, Kurim, who was half the instigator, couldn't help but apologize.
"I'm not blaming you, Mr. Belt."
Toma Shinnosuke smiled and continued, "I know your original intention was to let the mechanical mutants help humans, so you created "ProtoDrive", right? And I've also seen humans and mechanical mutants get along well."
Having said this, Tomari Shinnosuke stopped and looked at the stunned Chaser.
"For example, Chase and 072."
……
The sound of rain outside was getting heavier, and the sound of rain hitting the iron roof was like some rapid drumbeats.
Because Zhui Lie was unable to make up his mind to stop Kawahara again, and Tomari Shinnosuke suddenly came in to help, Heart and the other two finally left safely.
Since Zhui is a mechanical mutant himself, it is understandable that he cannot let go of Heart, who was once his companion. Then, Tomari Shinnosuke probably just has empathy for such an enemy.
Perhaps it was because Heart had respected him in the beginning, or perhaps it was because they were both idealists and they sympathized with each other.
In short, Tomo Shinnosuke actually understood Heart.
"Too naive."
Kawahara suddenly chuckled and leaned against the box wall next to him.
"I'm not feeling sorry for him."
Tomari Shinnosuke looked him straight in the eye and said, "This is a choice between us. Heart chose to stand in front of us and confess his true feelings, and I chose to believe that he was genuine and respectable at that moment - that's all."
"No wonder you can make him super evolve with just two sentences." Kawahara sighed again.
"..." Park Jinzhijie choked.
How does this guy know so much?
Could it really be precognition?
Zhuilie lowered his head, looked at his open palm and said, "I used to be... a Shinigami driven by a program. If it weren't for Kiriko and Shinnosuke's trust, perhaps I would never understand what my true self is like, and I would have continued to fight as a Shinigami..."
Kawahara's eyes moved slightly.
And Zhui Lie suddenly clenched his fist and said solemnly: "I have changed from what I used to be, so I also want to try to help Heart and the others!" "Because you are the prototype of all mechanical mutants, your underlying program is 'absolute justice'. Unless the core is completely destroyed, even if they overwrite your program, they cannot change your underlying logic."
Then Kulim interrupted and said something that spoiled the mood.
Toji Jinnosuke paused again.
The hunter looked at his fist and saw that it didn't move.
Kurim suddenly reacted, and the display screen on his belt drooped his digitized expression.
"Ah, sorry, I'm not really suited to this kind of topic..."
Tomari Shinnosuke couldn't help but laugh, then turned his head to look at the rain outside, "Oh~ It seems the rain is about to stop!"
"It's almost time to go then."
Kawahara walked towards the factory gate, glanced at the sky outside which was gradually turning gray-blue, then turned back to look at the two of them.
"Since you have all made your decision, I will naturally not interfere too much. I will not intervene in matters between humans and mechanical mutants," he said.
Anyway, Man Ye is already dead and cannot die any more.
Without that guy's special attack skills against mechanical mutants and gear-shifting tanks, Toma Shinnosuke has the ability to handle the rest.
At this time, Toma Shinnosuke also said seriously: "Heart is also my opponent. If they still intend to go against humans in the future, I will defeat him personally!"
Kawahara just smiled when he heard that.
That mechanical mutant named "Heart", if it were a human, perhaps it could become a very good Kamen Rider.
"Are you ready to leave here?"
The hunted man who was watching him suddenly spoke up.
Kawahara nodded, "Well, I'm looking for something, and there's a guy who's been missing for a long time, and I'm a little worried."
He then planned to go back to Guang Photo Studio to check the situation.
The black gear-shifting chariot flew out from the shoulder of the hunter and circled around Kawahara, but when Kawahara reached out to grab it, the black hunter finally dodged it very flexibly this time.
"Buzz?"
Kawahara looked at it with amusement: "So what? I didn't see you wanting to come to me before anyway."
"Buzz——"
The black hunter let out another long, low sound, then turned back to his pursuer and lazily rested on his shoulder.
Zhuilie turned his head slightly to glance at it, then looked at Kawahara hesitantly: "You won't come back?"
After forcibly breaking through the murderous range of Ultimate Kuuga in order to stop Kawahara's oppression on Heart, the Hunter suddenly understood some of what the Black Hunter wanted to express.
Although he had no idea what the connection was, the Black Hunter began to stay with him openly.
"Of course I'll come back. The world is a whole after all~"
Kawahara smiled meaningfully.
Zhuilie and Toma Jinzhisuke looked at each other, both of them seemed a little confused, and the next moment, they suddenly showed a look of surprise in unison.
"you you you--"
Toma Shinnosuke pointed at Kawahara's feet with his eyes wide open, and even Zhuilie's face showed his emotions.
Kawahara's heart moved and he looked down, only to see a black magic circle emitting a fiery red light unfolding under his feet. The patterns on it even looked particularly familiar.
——It was the magic circle that made Kadoya disappear at that time.
——Knight's ring?
