Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

【15th century】

Sitting cross-legged on the ground casually and playing with the Scorpion Knight watch in boredom, Shogo Tokiwa suddenly stopped, then raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled with a rather strange expression.

"Are we finally going to start? Ha, it's not easy... Swaruz, your efficiency has not dropped just a little bit."

After saying that, he stood up and patted his pants.

Now that Swaruz's long-awaited alien armor fight event is finally about to take place in his world, then, as the protagonist, it's time for him to leave here and return to his own era.

However, Tokiwa Shougo had just taken a step forward when his expression froze. In his hands, the dial of the Scorpion Knight watch automatically rotated to the position of the knight's head. Under his eyes, the silver-white and gold-dyed clock appeared again, and a picture of the future suddenly unfolded in his eyes.

A garden of roses, a flowery woman, a young man with a sword, an elegant butler...and, dead insects.

But the picture began to crack as he took steps, and it tended to collapse and disappear.

The future is disappearing...

"In other words, if I leave now, will this scene disappear from my world line in the future?"

Whispering to himself, Tokiwa Shougo narrowed his eyes slightly. The light and shadow of the clock in his eyes dimmed, but his eyes became darker and darker.

So here comes the problem...

Shogo Tokiwa, do you want that future?

"Ha ha."

The answer was actually determined from the moment Tokiwa Shogo accepted the Scorpion Knight watch.

"This is also part of [the letter], right?"

Looking down at the Scorpion Knight watch in his hand, Tokiwa Shougo smiled, sat down again, put his finger on the start button of the Scorpion Knight watch, and pressed it gently.

【Sasword! 】

The roll call of knights is like the ringing of bells when a contract is signed.

"I have indeed received your wish."

……

……

[2000]

Without the slightest excuse, Negishi accepted the Alien Armor Table from Swaruz very willingly and became the new Alien Armor.

Then, in order to completely master this power, he planned to use this power as a blueprint to develop a knight system that was not inferior to him.

For this, he needs people, funds, materials, and venues... But the guy Swaruz found to mimic him is just an ordinary person. Not only is he penniless, he is also a man who has been missing for many years. , a guy who is already dead in society.

This is very difficult...

You should find me a "living" person!

Negishi gritted his teeth secretly.

Fortunately, he still has his subordinates.

Although the mimicry cycle of mutants like them is much longer than that of ordinary zerg, and they cannot change multiple identities in a short time like ordinary zerg, but as long as they screen in advance and select a few with high energy, then the mimicry cycle will be long Defecation is not a big problem anymore.

As for how to collect information...

Fortunately, although the earth's technology is still limited to the planet, it has also entered the information age.

With the Internet, even if he is the only one who can act openly in human society at the beginning, he can still collect a lot of useful information.

In this way, Negishi selected several candidates who could serve his "Knight System" development plan.

First, the president of a metal materials company...

……

Front desk.

A fat man wearing a casual sweatshirt walked up to the counter and asked the receptionist with a familiar smile: "Hello, is the president here?"

The receptionist looked at the man suspiciously and replied: "Yes, please, do you have an appointment?"

"Ah~ This doesn't exist."

The man shook his head, but his expression looked happy.

"He's here... Haha, it's good that he's here, it's good that he's here."

[Clock Up! 】

……

President's Office.

The movement of the man who was reviewing the report suddenly became extremely slow. In this world where time was accelerating, the door of the office suddenly opened at a normal speed. A ferocious monster with an insect-like armor came out of the door with a green monster. Shi Shiran walked in, then both turned their heads and looked at the man sitting behind the desk...

[Clock Over! 】

……"ah!"

After a short scream, the office became quiet again, but there was a rapid knock on the door outside the closed door.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
"President? What happened? Are you okay?"

Worried inquiries sounded from outside the door.

After a brief pause, the secretary was about to knock on the door when he heard calm words coming from the office.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

It is the voice of the president of our company.

As for the president's voice, even the secretary who had been working outside the door for many years didn't think there was anything wrong.

Then, the president continued to say:
"Ah, by the way, a very good friend of mine who I played with when I was young has returned from abroad these days. Counting the time, he should be coming to see me soon. You can ask the front desk to see if he has arrived...

"Well, his name is Negishi."

……

Front desk.

Looking at Negishi, who seemed to have a double image for a moment, the receptionist subconsciously rubbed his eyes. When he looked again, the phenomenon was no longer there.

Hmm~Are you too tired recently?
Looks like it’s time to take your annual leave.

But for now, let’s focus on work.

The receptionist returned her attention to the strange man in front of her.

To be honest, this man looks quite nice, and he looks like a good guy when he smiles. But for some reason, the receptionist just doesn't like him, and what he just said also gave her a very good impression. She felt uncomfortable, so she quietly put her hand close to the landline phone, ready to call security at any time.

However, before she could put this idea into action, the phone rang first.

"?"

The receptionist answered the call suspiciously, and then heard the secretary's question.

"..."

She hesitated, moved the phone away from her ear, and tentatively asked the visitor in front of her.

"Well, could you please tell me your name?"

"Ah~ No trouble, no trouble."

Negishi, who didn't have any surprise on his face, smiled and replied.

"My name is Negishi."

……

Negishi entered the president's office unimpeded.

After the secretary closed the door and left, the president who was sitting on the boss's chair immediately stood up and wanted to give up his seat for Negishi, but Negishi stopped him.

"Hey~ No, no, just sit down. I have to help other people. If you hadn't invited me up, I would have left..."

Saying this, Negishi glanced behind the president and continued to speak with a smile.

"But then again, you can handle that, right?"

Hearing this, the president turned around and lowered his gaze, looking at the man lying on the ground with the same face as him. He flashed the phantom of the Zerg in an instant and replied with a smile: "Of course, I will take care of it." .”

……

Negishi left the president's company.

Then, the same scene was quickly played out in other places.

Several high-level officials who held power or money were replaced one by one.

In just a few days, Negishi's Zerg Group had gained considerable power in this country, and had accumulated the resources needed to study the Kamen Rider system.

While Negishi was enjoying prosperity, on the other side, Kusakabe Souji's family was in dire straits...

……

Soichi Kusakabe, the mainstay of the Kusakabe family, is unemployed.

The director of the research institute where he worked seemed to have lost his mind. Without any mercy or anyone's dissuasion, he just fired him, who was in charge of several core projects.

And, no matter which research institute he submits his resume to next, no matter how dazzling his resume is, as soon as he sees it, they will all reject it without exception.

Then, even if he wanted to go it alone, he would end up not doing so due to various bizarre factors.

So, has he offended anyone?

In desperation, Kusakabe Soichi finally went to find his close friend, Kagami Riku, who had climbed to a high position in the Metropolitan Police Department.

However, in the face of his inquiry, Kagami Riku remained silent for a long, long time, and finally just said: "Soichi, take your family and leave this country..." (End of Chapter)
