Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 735 Clearance

Prime Minister's Office.

Mizusawa Mizuki is having a great conversation with the Prime Minister.

A mask of humble and friendly smile was firmly embedded in his face and could not be peeled off.

Although the various subtexts and rhetoric were not perfect, they were enough to make the Prime Minister feel powerless.

  [This little girl is too sensitive to dialogue traps, isn't she? How did her mother train her?]

[But then again, this level of behavior is indeed consistent with her status as a "negotiator"... Well, from this perspective, the negotiations initiated by Nozama are indeed very sincere.]

[At least, Minister Mizusawa should really want to facilitate this negotiation.]

The Prime Minister pondered and gradually understood everything.

Therefore, having already accepted Mizusawa Mitsuki as the negotiating representative, he stopped pulling and testing and finally began to speak some truthful words, allowing the negotiations to move forward.

Mizusawa Mizuki noticed this keenly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her nerves were still tense.

  [Old fox, you are not sure about the situation, right?]

[Hmph, forget it, your tricks are no longer useful to me!]

As a multi-player, Miss Mitsuki said that the rules of victory have been determined, and now she is the strongest!

In this way, Mizusawa Mitsuki, who despised strategically but valued tactically, finally pushed the progress of the negotiations to the finish line of the perfect route of the previous round.

She was secretly excited.

  [Finally! I'm finally going to complete the game!]

But just when she was thinking this...

"Dingling bell~~"

A telephone ringtone that was completely out of the storyline suddenly rang out.

Mitsuki Mizusawa: "???"

  [Wha, what? Why is there a phone call at this time!?]

In an instant, Mizusawa Mizuki's seemingly indestructible confidence was cracked by the sudden ringing of the phone.

That extremely clear feeling of panic... It's like I've been dreaming about the first week.

But it was not until this time that Mizuki Mizuki was surprised to find that the "modest and friendly mask" on her face had not fallen off.

"How rude..."

Not only did her mask not fall off, she was actually instinctively trying to make up for it.

  [Wow~~ I have really matured.]

Sighing like this, Mizusawa Mitsuki resisted the urge to turn around and glare at Tokiwa Sougo, and tried hard to use her brain to think... Who would call her at this time?

First of all, she had to believe that this was definitely not a malicious prank by Tokiwa-senpai.

She had had enough of people and behaviors like that at school, so she didn't dare, nor was she willing to doubt that the senior whom she trusted so much was also that kind of person.

Think about this premise...

"Please forgive my immaturity, Mr. Prime Minister."

This call must be very important to her and must be beneficial to the negotiation.

"This is the first time I've participated in such an important negotiation, especially with you as the leader of a country. Both me and my mother are very nervous..."

Mizusawa Mitsuki remembered the scene when Tokiwa Sougo left her cell phone number as a contact method after negotiating with her mother.

"My mother... the director general is just too worried about me... I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Prime Minister."

The phone was still ringing, but Mizusawa Mitsuki just faced the Prime Minister, maintained her sitting posture, and sincerely asked for forgiveness.

Behind her, Tokiwa Sougo placed his ringing cell phone at his side, also in the dogeza posture... However, that was just an illusion reflected on the Prime Minister's retina.

Although Tokiwa Sougo would not sabotage Mizusawa Mitsuki, he was not interested in really giving in to a corrupt old man whose mind was full of political schemes.

Even so, it was just a performance.

What's more, this is also to protect the Prime Minister.

If this is true, Tokiwa Sougo is really afraid that the Prime Minister will suddenly die one day.

Not to mention anything else, if Wozniak gets angrier and angrier one day and suddenly comes to find him, he will go crazy.

So, Tokiwa Sougo used illusion.

Magic creates convenience.

The Prime Minister looked at the two people who were apologizing sincerely in front of him, and the anger in his eyes disappeared instantly.

Given the national conditions, this is an old traditional art.

"Get up, get up, how could I be really angry?"

The Prime Minister put on the gentle and generous demeanor of an elder and helped Mizusawa Mitsuki up with a smile.

"Hurry up and answer it. Don't make your mother anxious."

Mizusawa Mitsuki thanked the Prime Minister gratefully, then turned around and saw Tokiwa Sougo standing up very consciously.

She took the phone from Tokiwa Sougo's hand and finally glared at him as she wished.

Mizusawa Mizuki answered the phone.

……

Hearing her daughter's voice coming from the phone, Mizusawa Reika finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, Mizusawa Reika was angry when she received the harassing phone call that ended after one ring.

She wanted to block the call, but the caller ID showed her daughter's number and she never called again.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

You know, now, her daughter is following a dangerous person. Unlike before, her daughter has not stepped into the dangerous world and her life is stable. It doesn't matter even if she doesn't answer one or two calls in time.

Mizusawa Linghua frowned and called back, but the call was not connected.

As time went on, uneasiness and anxiety continued to accumulate in her heart.

Fortunately, the call finally got through.

However, the content coming out of the phone made Mizusawa Reika confused. "What did you say? You said you are meeting with the Prime Minister now?"

  How long has it been since they last met? And her daughter, who had mediocre grades and hadn't even graduated from high school, has already walked in front of the Prime Minister?

She doesn't believe it!

Mizusawa Reika winked at her secretary Ghana and asked him to check.

……

Mizusawa Mizuki was a little angry. Her mother was always like this, not trusting her and not paying attention to her.

But she wasn't that angry. The fact was, she no longer needed her mother's approval.

After walking out of the Prime Minister's Office and away from it, Mizusawa Mitsuki could finally relax and complain to Tokiwa Sougo.

"senior!"

Mizusawa Mitsuki stopped Tokiwa Sougo angrily and glared at him.

"What on earth was going on with that phone call? Explain it to me clearly, Senior! If everything is still going to end up in an unexpected way, then what is the meaning of all the reincarnations I experienced in the beginning?"

“Is it really meaningless?”

Tokiwa Sougo asked back.

"Confidence built on 'foresight' is ultimately just a castle in the air. Only after the baptism of reality can this castle turn from virtual to real.

"The unchanging is just a script. The unexpected and surprising is reality."

Having said that, Tokiwa Sougo smiled, raised his hand, and rubbed Mizusawa Mizuki's head.

"You have indeed grown, and you have proved it with facts. This is the greatest significance of your experience of 'passing the level', isn't it?"

After saying that, Tokiwa Sougo walked past Mizusawa Mizuki.

At the same place, Mizusawa Mizuki was stunned for a while, sighed, and then a sincere smile bloomed on her face.

"Really? That's why I don't need other people's approval."

She whispered, turned around and quickly caught up with Tokiwa Sougo.

"Hey, Senior, after we solve the Amazon problem in this city, will you leave here?"

"Yes."

"Hey~~ Then what should we do with this city in the future..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. Won't you and You still be here when the time comes?"

……

A photo was placed on Mizusawa Reika's desk.

The photo shows Sougo Tokiwa and Mizusawa Mitsuki walking out of the Prime Minister's Office.

It’s true…it’s actually true!

That guy actually took her daughter to meet the Prime Minister?

  Bastard! Are you blackmailing her?

Shuize Linghua stood up suddenly, grabbed the photo, walked out from behind the desk and went outside.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death!

She must meet the president immediately!

……

Night falls.

Dark clouds covered the moon.

In the brightly lit mansion, after listening to the report from Mizusawa Reika, President Tenjo Takaaki of Nozama Pharmaceutical thought for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha - old fox, you're just throwing a catfish into the pond. But, can you, the catfish, create enough splashes in this city to form a new ecosystem with Amazon? I'm looking forward to it!"

……

Outside an apartment room.

The maintenance man who was rushed over rang the doorbell.

"Ding-dong-"

After the doorbell stopped ringing, the lights in the corridor suddenly went out. The maintenance engineer couldn't help but feel puzzled and turned his head to look.

In the darkness, the sound of doors opening kept ringing, and people with numb expressions and dull eyes walked out of the dark room.

They piled up in the corridor and turned to look at the maintenance master.

The maintenance engineer was terrified. He shouted in fear: "What do you want to do? Wait, don't come over here! Don't come over here--!"

However, at this moment, the door behind him suddenly opened.

He was carried into the room by a crowd of people.

"what--!!!"

The screams and cries for help disappeared in the dark room.

This was followed by a creepy gnawing sound.

Then, the sounds returned to silence as the crowd dispersed and the door closed.
