Chapter 188: Partner

"So, go to class?"

Shogo Tsukiwa finally decided...... Not going.

Because in the current situation, it's not strange when the Narumi Detective Agency sent a text message to the notice, so in order to avoid embarrassment after receiving the notice at the time of class, I simply asked for leave from the beginning today.

He only hopes that the incident about the alien knight W can be resolved satisfactorily today, because then, at least tomorrow, he can finish a full day of school, and draw a successful end to this week's exchange student learning activities.

……

……

Hospital.

Gates on the hospital bed suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Woz, and then quietly got up, lifted the quilt, picked up his clothes and walked out.

And after Gates tiptoed away, holding his own book of demon advent calendar, hanging his head and closing his eyes, Woz, who had been awakened from his false sleep, slowly opened a gap in his eyes, shook his head and smiled, got up and stretched, and finally glanced at the empty hospital bed, then ripped off his scarf and surrounded himself and disappeared.

……

……

“!!!”

Sonosaki woke up from her sleep and sat up suddenly, and it was already bright outside the window.

She felt as if she had had a long, long dream, but when she woke up, she immediately forgot what it was about.

I only vaguely remember that it was not a good dream.

Raising his hand and holding down half of his face, Sonosaki said slowly in a disgusted tone: "Wakana, is it your ghost?" ”

No one answered, and the uncovered half of the face did not respond.

After a moment of silence, Sonosaki exhaled a long breath and rubbed her eyebrows.

Also, Sonosaki Wakana's consciousness has been swallowed by her, how can she still have the strength to make trouble?

However, even so, she couldn't help but wonder, was it really just a dream?

Just then, a phone call came.

Sonosaki was connected, and a female voice was heard coming from the mobile phone.

"Boss, it's me, I'm back."

Hearing this, Yuan Saki raised her eyebrows and smiled, and her mood instantly eased a lot.

"Good, act as planned."

……

……

The phone was hung up, and Michiko Yamamori, the school's mother, took the phone from her ear, clicked on the newly sent location map, looked at the small red dot that was moving, she lifted the mask that slipped slightly from the bridge of her nose again, looked up to identify the direction, and strode forward.

……

……

In a forest.

Philip came here with Shotaro Sa.

A familiar place, where they had seen many times the lady who was covered in a whole body without a single piece of skin—Sherad.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the person was Philip's mother.

Even, she was the client of Narumi Shoyoshi's commission to save Philip.

"Mom - I'm here, please, please come out and see me! Sister Wakana, father, they are all ...... died, and was given a ...... by Sister Tsuko"

Philip cried and walked around the forest.

Shotaro Zuo, who couldn't bear to see Philip like this, took off his hat and covered his face.

According to the information Philip read from the Earth Library, his mother is now in the forest.

But from what they knew about Sherard, there was no more effective way for them to find her if she didn't want to see them.

Therefore, Shotaro Zuo did not shout along, but handed it all over to Philip, his partner.

At this moment, two lines of fire suddenly spread out from the depths of the forest, forming a path of fire that spread all the way to Philip's feet.

Still dressed in the same familiar outfit, black clothes, black hat, sunglasses, and a face tightly wrapped in white gauze, Sherard walked slowly out of the other end of the fire path deep in the forest, carrying a suitcase in his hand.

"Long time no see, here."

"Mom's ......"

"Needless to say, I already know it."

Sherald, who had already walked up to Philip, raised his hand to stop Philip's words, and then tossed the suitcase to Philip.

"What is this?"

Philip asked, confused.

Sherad: "If you have a partner who is willing to live with you, use it, and the Earth will tell you everything." ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Shotaro Zuo next to her and said with a smile.

"So, that's the answer, the answer to all the questions you're seeking."

"Partner...... Answer......"

Sherard's words made Philip can't help but look back at Shotaro, but when he turns his gaze back, he finds that Sherard has disappeared.

And this time, no matter how much he shouted, Sherard never showed up again.

Zuo Shotaro, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Philip.

"Philip! Don't do that, she's gone. ”

With his arms tightened and he held Philip tightly until he struggled with a weakened force and began to calm down, Shotaro Zuo let go of Philip while breathing a sigh of relief.

"Let's see, what Sherad left you behind."

"Hmm."

Philip nodded, crouched down, and placed the suitcase on the ground to open it, revealing the contents inside.

Four never-before-seen memories.

Luna, Heat, Metal, Trigger.

There is also a W drive that seems to be a combination of two lost drives.

Seeing the shape of the drive, thinking of the words that Sherard had just said before leaving, Philip suddenly understood the meaning of those words.

So, after picking up that W drive, Philip looked at Shotaro Zuo, and a somewhat sad smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"No, Shotaro, this is something that my mother left us."

As he spoke, he handed the W drive in his hand to Shotaro Zuo.

"Partner, as Mom said, do you have the courage to live with demons?"

When Zuo Shotaro heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then, he smiled and straightened his top hat, took the W drive, and buckled it around his waist without the slightest hesitation.

"Of course, I'll be with you all the way to the depths of hell."

- Also, you're not a demon anymore.

This is the sentence that Shotaro Zuo hid in his heart and did not say.

And after hearing the answer that seemed to be taken for granted, although he had expected it, Philip was still happy from the bottom of his heart, and this happiness diluted some of the sadness caused by Sherard's departure, which made Philip feel a lot more relaxed.

"So, I'm ...... No, let's get started! ”

With that, Philip stood up, took out the Wind Memory from his pocket, and took out the W pose with Shotaro Zuo, who also took out the trump card memory from his pocket, and activated, one right and one left inserted into the two memory slots of the W drive.

Then, the Wind Memory carries Philip's consciousness and spirit together and is transmitted to Shotaro's side through the W drive, and Shotaro Zuo presses the memory and pushes the two memory slots outward.

"Transform!"

【Cye-Joker! 】

Whew-

With the wind blowing, Kamen Rider W of half green and half black reappears across history.

A black and green knight's watch is condensed.
