"Are you awake?"

"Hmmm......"

Gates subconsciously finished answering, sat up from the ground, looked at the person standing in front of him, stunned for a moment, and his expression changed suddenly.

"-Who are you!?"

The vague figure in front of him was completely clear, but it was not Shogo Tokiwa as he thought, but a stranger he didn't know!

This made Gates's heart lift all at once.

He wanted to stand up immediately.

But as soon as he pressed his palm on the ground to support himself, he felt a sudden pain coming from his forehead, which made him involuntarily gasp, raised his hand to press his forehead, and sat back down.

"Shhh It hurts! ”

"Heh, don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you."

When the stranger saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be the Demon King, right? Well, you've probably heard of me...... I'm Yoto Sakurai. ”

Gates was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then reacted suddenly.

"Zero North!?"

"That's right, it's me."

Sakurai nodded.

"Then, here's a note from your demon king."

Gates looked at the note handed over by Sakurai, looked up at Sakurai Yoto, raised his hand to take it, looked up, and felt relieved.

It's Shogo Tokiwa's handwriting, yes.

The pen seems to be soft, but in fact it contains a sharp edge.

[Leave it to me, Gates, you go find something special. 】

[I'll go first, and I won't wait for you to wake up.] 】

[——Tokiwaso Goru.] 】

Gates: "......"

So, the king of time just left him in a coma here?

The corners of Gates' mouth twitched, and he looked up at Sakurai.

“…… Did he say anything to you before he left? ”

The "he" here refers to Shogo Tokiwa.

Sakurai shook his head.

"When I came here, all I saw was you lying on the ground with a note on your head."

Then, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction behind Gates and continued.

"Well, and the broken time machine behind you."

Gates followed the direction of Sakurai's finger, looked back, and sure enough, he saw a time demon machine with a sunken head.

"Shhh

Gates gently touched his red and swollen forehead, and suddenly felt that his head hurt even more.

How to say it, probably, because he suddenly understood, why he obviously had a time demon god machine himself, but he had to share a ride with him.

Then he listened to Sakurai Yoto continue:

"However, the reason why I was able to find you here is not that it has nothing to do with the Demon King."

“？？？”

In the expression of the question mark above Gates's head, Sakurai Yoto smiled:

"Woz...... You know that, right? It was he who gave me the coordinates of the time and place, and told me that if I wanted to find a helper, I would have come here. ”

Fertile!

Gates: "......"

Suddenly I didn't want to say anything.

What does it mean to be arranged clearly?

That's it!

But why do they think they will obediently obey the arrangement?

Gates asked, "If you're Zeronos, why would you want a helper?" ”

First, Gates wanted to find a reason to get out of Woz's arrangement.

However, after hearing Gates's question, Sakurai's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Don't you know anything?"

Gates frowned: "Wads really didn't discuss it with me in advance......"

Sakurai waved his hand: "No, it's not this. ”

Sakurai Yuto reminded, "It's my business...... Didn't the Demon King tell you about the limits of my transformation? ”

"Limit...... Yes! ”

Gates was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

He remembered that Shogo Tokiwa had told him that the number of transformations of Zero Norths was limited, and each time he transformed, it would consume other people's memories of Sakurai Yoto.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Indeed, knowing this, he really shouldn't have asked the question above.

"I'll help."

Gates resigned himself to his fate, because, he found that in this case, he really couldn't refuse Sakurai's request for help.

"Well, thank you for your understanding."

Sakurai nodded and continued.

"In that case, let's exchange information......"

"I lost my memory of being a Zero-Norths for a while, and although my memory has been restored due to the characteristics of Zero-Liner, the history about me has not been completely restored, so the few Zero-Norths tickets I have left can be said to be gone......"

"I say this for two reasons:"

"One, it's to avoid you having unnecessary expectations in the battle, because I'm really unable to transform now."

"Second, I want to remind you to pay attention to it, since the Time Tribulator has changed my history, then, in addition to the alien Electric King, there is a very high possibility that they will also create the alien Zeronos!"

"Then, here's some information I know about Den-King."

"As far as I know, Den-Liner disappeared into the time tunnel after Tid, the time-raider who kidnapped Hana."

"Combined with the information provided by your companion, the boy named Woz,"

"It's basically certain that this alien knight incident was planned by the time robber named Tid."

"And Tid's purpose, which we already know, is that he wants to erase the history of the Heisei Knights."

"Hana is a special point in the future, so I have reason to believe that the reason why Ted kidnapped Hana must have something to do with his purpose."

In other words, Hana has a crucial role in Tid's plans.

"This is the only good news at this stage, because, before this timeline is officially connected with the original timeline, Hana's own life safety is at least guaranteed."

After saying that, Sakurai Yoto let out a long sigh.

Because, having said that, the truth is indeed the truth, but no matter what, he can't suppress the worry in his heart.

After all, Hana is his ......

Thoughts stopped here, and Sakurai looked back at Gates.

"That's all I know now, where are you?"

Gates: "......"

He lowered his head, tried hard, racked his brains and thought about it, but finally sighed and said something he had already said earlier.

"I'll help."

Sakurai Yoto: "??? ”

In Sakurai's bewildered expression, Gates added.

"As a qualified ...... Hatchet man. ”

Because, Gates, who had just woken up from the coma of the "crash", knew nothing about the timeline of this alien electric king.

And what he knew in the Zi-O timeline, Sakurai Yuto, who had already been in contact with Woz, only knew more than him.

So, to sum up, Gates has nothing to offer Sakurai here except for force.

Sakurai Yoto: "......"

Got it.

It's just that I suddenly have a toothache.

"Okay."

All in all, it's not for nothing.

"So, our next first goal is to find the peculiarities in this timeline!"

Sakurai Yoto said.

"No matter what Tid wants to do with this timeline, he can't avoid the existence of the anomaly, so if we find the anomaly, we can wait for the rabbit."

Gates nodded: "Yes." ”

Looking for something special...... Isn't that how Shogo Tokiwa left a message for him? It's just something to be expected.

Thinking like this, Gates had a Buddhist smile on his face.

"Let's go."

……

……

On the other hand, the two siblings, Ola and your, returned to Tid's castle and reported the results of their work.
