"Well done!"

Terui's praise rang out along with the cheers of the officers.

Gates listened, and for a moment he was stunned, and his thoughts were empty for a moment.

He used to have a group of comrades who would stand in front of him, laugh with him, and cheer for him, but because of Wox's betrayal, they all fell into the trap of the Demon Time King, and then ...... He's dead.

"Gates, are you alright?"

Gates suddenly came back to his senses and saw Terui walking towards him.

Gates shook his head: "I'm fine. ”

"That's good, there's a chance to see you again." Tsurui patted Gates on the shoulder, walked past him, and walked towards the locomotive parked nearby.

"Ah, okay."

Gates subconsciously answered, but after seeing Teruii Long pick up the helmet and straddle the locomotive, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Wait!" He hurriedly called out to Terui, "Mr. Teruii, you should go to the hospital first!" ”

"Hospital?" Teruii Ryu looked back at Gates, and the corners of his mouth rose once, "No, it's not a leisurely time to go to the hospital yet, and when I finish dealing with those dopants, I'll go to the hospital for treatment and rest." ”

With that, Terui put on his helmet, started the locomotive, waved his hand in the direction of Gates, and galloped away.

Gates, who was still trying to persuade him, saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly threw out the raider to control the watch into a locomotive, and straddled it to chase after him.

The police officers who were dealing with the scene saw this scene and sent their sincere wishes to their Kamen Riders.

All around, including the diamond doped, lay a dozen doped shapeshifters who had passed out because their memories had been destroyed.

The sins they committed will not be erased with the destruction of Gaia's memory, and what awaits them next will be the punishment of the law.

……

……

After turning the throttle and catching up with the galloping Terui, Gates said, "Mr. Terui, your current body really can't continue to participate in the battle!" ”

"What do you say? I can't hear clearly! Terui shouted.

Gates was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and shouted equally loudly: "I-——! Mr. Terui! You should go to the hospital now instead of going to continue fighting!! ”

Teruii Ryu heard it clearly this time, but the answer he gave was still "no".

"Didn't I already answer that? It's not a leisurely time to go to the hospital yet! And, if I'm not mistaken, you have injuries on your body too, right? We're in the same mood right now! ”

Gates was silent for a moment, then replied, "It's different. ”

Teruii didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "What?" ”

Gates shouted vigorously: "It's different! We are different!! ”

Boom! Squeak——!!

Terui clenched the brakes sharply, stopped, took off his helmet, looked ahead and also held the brakes, and stopped the locomotive sideways in front of Gates.

"Tell me, what's the difference?"

Teruii asked with a serious expression.

"What did you become a Kamen Rider for, and what did you fight for?"

Gates fell silent again.

"I am ......"

He hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I became a Kamen Rider to fight against a person, and I fought to fight against that person." ”

After listening to this, Teruii Long carefully observed Gates' expression at this time and said.

"Is that all? Isn't it, your words, your words, there should be other more important reasons, right? Think about it again, think about what you stood in front of us just now, why did you fight that diamond adulterant? Myeongkoin Gates, what exactly is the reason for your desire for power? ”

This time, Gates was silent for a longer time.

Then, a palpable sadness and anger appeared on his face.

"To protect ......"

He just said these four words with difficulty, and he couldn't say it anymore.

He joined the Demon King's rebellion to protect the innocent people who died under the rule of the Demon King, but began to witness and experience more deaths with his own eyes.

In order to protect his comrades, he longed for power, but was betrayed by Wads, fell into a trap, and lost his comrades who wanted to protect.

In order to change that desperate future, he went to the palace of the Demon King in a desperate attempt to steal the knight's watch and became a Kamen Rider.

But after coming to this era, he seems to be urging the young King of Time to get closer to the path of the Demon King of Time.

Not only that, but he even had a faint idea of "if it was the current Shogo Tokiwa, this would be good", and even unconsciously began to deal with Woz again.

His wandering is not because he likes to go it alone, but because he is increasingly disgusted with his current self......

The expressions on Gates' face all fell into Terui's eyes, which made Terui Ryu frown secretly.

The psychological problems of this junior in front of him are more serious than he imagined, which he did not expect.

However, thinking back to the time before and after Gates joined the battle, Terui Ryu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his heart did not change, perhaps, all he needed was a frank conversation with his friends.

"Don't you have two companions? How about having a good talk with them at the end of this time? ”

Terui said.

"I don't know your past, so I can't understand your current feelings, the knots in your heart, only you can untie them, but, at least the heart you want to protect now, we are the same, aren't we? Don't worry, I'm known as a man who can't die! ”

[Don't worry, I'm known as a man who can't die!] 】

Gates listened and sighed deeply.

That's why I'm even more worried.

"Let's go together."

Terui Ryu smiled and nodded.

“OK。”

Put your helmet back on and start the locomotive.

The two rode away.

……

……

When Gates and Terui arrived at the next scene, they were surprised to find that the fighting had ended there, and the remaining officers were finishing up.

After seeing Terui, the police officer who was recording something immediately walked over.

Terui asked, "Here, what's going on?" ”

The officer replied, "A Kamen Rider in green armor just helped deal with the dopers. ”

"Green Armor...... Can you describe what he looks like? ”

As he asked, Ryu Terui looked around for a moment, the doped transformer who had passed out in a coma, and the intact Gaia memory that had been confiscated, that is, the Kamen Rider did not defeat these doped people with extreme drive, but with other powers.

This made Terui Long's heart can't help but raise a guess, and he couldn't help but glance at Gates, and then saw the same look of surprise on Gates's face.

The officer replied, "Well, he has two catalpa-like horns on his head, a mantis-like scythe, legs that can be as slender as locusts, and by the way, he can also release thunder and lightning." ”

After listening, Terui looked at Gates again, and this time, he got an affirmative answer.

"It's him."

According to the officer's description, there is no doubt that the Kamen Rider who appeared here is Zi-O in the form of the OOO Worm Formation.

But why is Shogo Tokiwa here? Isn't it time for him to go and fight the alien knights?

While wondering, remembering his previous decision on whether to protect the people in this alien history, compared with Shogo Tokiwa's choice, for the first time, Gates began to think seriously, is the current Shogo Tokiwa really the same person as the King of the Demon Time he knows?
