[In 2016]

In an ordinary little home.

"Keisuke, it's time to eat."

Iida shouted to his son, who was sitting in front of the TV.

"I see."

Keisuke Iida stared at the TV with his eyes fixed on the TV and replied without blinking.

"Right away."

However, after waiting for a while, Iida had already put the food in place, and his son did not move from the TV.

This made Iida a little angry.

"Keisuke!"

"Wait a minute, wait a little more Dad, this episode will be over soon!"

Keisuke Iida clasped his hands together, his mind rising to the sound of the tokusatsu hero's special move on the TV.

The image of the hero defeating the evil monster is clearly reflected in his clear eyes.

But Keisuke Iida didn't notice that behind him, his father had already walked over.

I'm sure that my son is not lying, and the episode of the special effects drama that is being played on the TV is indeed Iida, who has progressed to the end, although he raised his hand and rubbed his son's head a little angrily, but he did not urge him again.

But......

"Haven't I been saying it all the time? These TV series are just like cartoons, everything in them is fake, made up, if you really like these, it's better to study hard, get a good university in the future, find a related good job, and take the lead in filming a special drama you like, isn't it fragrant? ”

Listening to his father's words that sounded along with the ending song, Keisuke Iida immediately fell silent.

He turned his head and glanced at his father wordlessly, then sighed deeply like a little adult.

"Ugh."

This is his father, a ruthless machine focused on kicking his son out of his dreams and into reality.

At this moment, Keisuke Iida couldn't help but think of his past dreams that had been torn apart.

Like what:

Just when the other children thought that Santa Claus really existed, he had been ruthlessly told by his father that Santa Claus did not exist and that in order to get a gift, he had to make the same effort.

In short, it's very realistic.

Keisuke Iida said he was used to it.

And Mr. Iida, who has been testing professional games for 20 years and doesn't know how many game bugs he has found, couldn't help but tremble at the corners of his mouth.

He pressed the five fingers on his son's head a little harder, then shook from side to side, and said in an unhappy tone: "What are you sighing for?" ”

"Well, Dad, I think you've got something wrong."

Faced with such Mr. Iida, Keisuke Iida replied without fear at all.

"What I really like is not making TV series, but the heroes in this TV series. Dad, you saw that too, right? Don't you think it's handsome for heroes to fight evil? ”

"That's handsome."

Iida agrees with this.

"But his handsomeness is illusory, with special effects, and it doesn't exist in the real world."

"Does it really not exist?"

Keisuke Iida asked his father rhetorically.

"Aren't the policemen who catch the bad guys heroes in the real world?"

Keisuke Iida said with an oath.

"So, father, my dream when I grow up is not to make a TV series, but to become a partner in justice!"

Hearing this, Iida thought for a while, then reorganized his previous language, and said to his son: "Then you have to study hard, after all, a good police academy has a high admission score." ”

It's good that Mr. Iida has succeeded in bringing the child's dream back to reality.

Keisuke Iida: "......"

Don't talk anymore, can't talk anymore, eat and eat.

He removed his father's large hand on his head, turned around, and walked toward the table.

However, as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly stopped, raised his hand and clutched his heart, and gasped for breath with pain on his face.

"Keisuke?"

The son's abnormality caught Iida's attention.

"Keisuke!"

He hurriedly stepped forward to support his son and asked anxiously.

"Keisuke! Keisuke, what's wrong with you? What's uncomfortable? ”

"Dad...... Daddy......"

Keisuke Iida said intermittently in pain.

"My ...... Heart...... Jumping so fast...... Out of breath......"

Frightened, he begged his father for help.

"Help me...... Father...... Help me......"

A moment later.

The horn of an ambulance sounded outside the window.

After that, the hospital.

Iida looked blank and desperate at the hospital's diagnosis report.

"Sudden dilated cardiomyopathy...... Oh, what did I do wrong, what did my son do wrong, and the reality wants to punish us like this? ”

Thinking of this, Iida slammed his fist on the ground.

"Damn! Reality, sure enough, is a damn, bug-laden garbage game!

”

However, as soon as Iida finished speaking, a doctor who was about to pass by suddenly stopped, turned around, looked Iida up and down, and smiled.

He said to Iida, "So, do you want to fix this [bug] in this garbage game?" ”

Hearing this, Iida looked up, looked at the doctor and was stunned, and asked in a daze, "Should I ...... How? ”

"It's simple." The doctor smiled and replied, "Life is virtual, reality is just a game, as long as you can become a real player of this game, then everything is not a problem." ”

As the words fell, the doctor took out a game console with tiny pixels that was escaping outwards from his pocket and handed it to Iida.

"Do you continue to drift with the flow in this virtual life as an NPC, or do you accept the trial and try to become a player who can modify reality, Sa, tell me, what is your choice?"

Iida's eyes were glued to the game console in the doctor's hand, and Keisuke's voice couldn't help but appear again in his mind.

[Help me...... Father...... Help me......]

In the echo of this cry for help, he raised his hand and slowly stretched out towards the game console.

……

……

[2018]

On the eve of the establishment of the National Security Special Hazard Countermeasures Headquarters.

Tokiwa House.

The Joban family is having a serious family meeting.

Shogo Tsukiwa laid the letter of appointment signed by the inspector of police on the table and pushed it towards the parents, Sotaro Tokiwa and Mie Tokiwa, across the table.

However, Sotaro Tokiwa only glanced at the letter of appointment and pushed it sideways in front of Namie Tokiwa.

"I see."

At the same time, Sotaro Tokiwa was stunned.

"No wonder you want to have a family meeting, that's what you're talking about."

Sotaro Tokiwa's attitude made Shogo Tokiwa understand one thing.

"You already know?"

"Yes."

Sotaro Tokiwa nodded.

"Because, when the superintendent was considering whether to appoint you as the acting minister of the newly established Ministry of State Security, he asked me for my opinion."

Shogo Tokiwa's eyes widened slightly.

He really didn't know about it.

Shogo Tokiwa asked his father.

"Your answer was ......?"

"No problem!"

Sotaro Tokiwa gave a thumbs up to Sogo Tokiwa and smiled boldly.

"I told him that my son has been constantly enriching himself and training himself since the day he was sure that his dream is to become king, and until today, my son has accumulated enough knowledge and experience, although there are still shortcomings, but there is no problem, he will be able to become a good and responsible minister...... That's how I answered him. ”

Sotaro Tokiwa looked into Shogo's eyes, his face full of trust in his son.

"That's right, Zhuang Wu's words, he will definitely be able to become a good minister."

Namie Tokiwa put down the letter of appointment in her hand, looked at Shogo Tokiwa with the same tenderness and said.

"So, do what you're supposed to do, Shogo, and that's the only way that Dad and Mom aren't lying, aren't they?"

Sotaro Tokiwa answered.

"But ......"

The support and trust of his parents touched Shogo Tokiwa very much.

But because of this, he couldn't help but start to hesitate a little.

"In that case, you may be in danger to your father and mother...... No, it should be said that there will be danger, because the bad guys will not let go of any opportunity to take revenge on me. ”

The more contemptuous people are of the law, the more crazy they will be when they are sanctioned by the law.

Especially those weirdos who possess extraordinary powers in their own right.

Before they are completely frightened and defeated, they will not be willing to curl up obediently in a dark corner where no one can see.

In short, in order to protect more people, and to protect the families of the criminal policemen who are fighting on the front line, it is necessary to establish a target of hatred for the weirdos who dare to retaliate.

When you think about it, there is only one suitable candidate.

That person is Shogo Tsukiwa himself.

Not to mention, it is the king's duty to support the heroes who fight for the people.

But is it really okay to put your parents in danger because of yourself?

It was with this concern that Shogo Tsukiwa convened this family meeting.

"Shogo!"

However, regarding Shogo Tokiwa's concerns, Sotaro Tokiwa suddenly said so.

"Do you remember? When I was a child, everyone was worshipping the heroes in the TV series, but you were the only one thinking about another thing. ”

His father's words slowly revived the memories in Shogo Tokiwa's mind.

……

"Zhuang Wu, it's amazing, it's the first place in this exam, how about it, do you want Dad to buy you a heroic transformer as a reward?"

"No, I don't want a transformer, I want a hero's doll!"

"Why? Don't you want to be a hero? ”

"I want to, but I want to be a king who can protect heroes more than being a hero!"

……

"Becoming...... The king who can protect the hero......"

"That's right."

Sotaro Tokiwa nodded.

"So, do what you have to do, protect your world, protect your people, protect the heroes who fight for you, on the other hand, your mother and I will try to protect ourselves, and as long as you keep doing the right thing, then, even in the end, your mother and I will ......"

At this moment, Namie Tsukiwa suddenly interrupted Sotaro Tokiwa's words.

"It's stupid to act without thinking about the consequences, but it's even more stupid to think only about the consequences than the former, so do your best to do your best, Shogo, in that case, even if you really fail by reality in the end, your mother won't blame you, after all, your mother doesn't want to be a burden to you."

"Huh?"

Hearing his wife's words that only mentioned herself, Sotaro Tokiwa suddenly protested dissatisfied.

"Will Dad be a burden then?"

"I don't know~~" Namie Tokiwa covered her mouth and smiled.

"Why ...... like this," Sotaro Tokiwa said pretending to hang his head.

And looking at such parents who deliberately changed the topic and no longer gave themselves room to entangle, Chang Panzhuang was silent, and he couldn't help but laugh a little.

"End of meeting."

He smiled and whispered, and then joined the heartwarming family farce in front of him.

The breath of happiness is constantly filled with laughter.

……

……

Time comes back to the present.

December 14th.

Led by Shogo Tokiwa, a special project called "Kamen Rider Zi-O" was officially aired as a special special film for publicity and education by the Metropolitan Police Department.

It tells the story of an unsung hero who hides in the darkness and turns into a Kamen Rider to fight against 12 cult weirdos.

……

December 15th.

Shogo Tsukiwa received an anonymous letter.

There was only one short sentence in the letter.

[Two days later, the cult took advantage of the evil god's invasion of the present world to contain Kamen Rider and kill your parents, as well as you. 】
