Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadows

Chapter 119 Xiaoye: Now Mr. Qiuyue is the only one left in Xiaoye (second update)

"Mr. Qiuyue, Xiaoye...can I please give it to you?"

For the first time since they met, Kadoyaji used honorifics.

In any case, there is no doubt about his feelings for his sister. It can be said that since his parents left, his sister has become everything to him.

Although, in a sense, Xiao Ye also became a shackles that bound him.

"Xiaoye is very simple. She can't cope with things outside. I used to protect her, but now I have something I must do, so I want to ask you to protect her."

Kado Yashi made a plea. He entrusted his sister to the familiar stranger in front of him. Several years of getting along day and night had made him initially trust the person in front of him. In his opinion, just by calling his sister, he could come. The people here will at least help him protect Xiaoye.

Facing Kadayashi's plea, Nobuhiko's face did not change at all, but he asked a question:
"Do you mean to entrust your sister's life to me?"

"Well, that's right, the only one I can ask for is you..."

"I reject."

Before Kadoyaji finished speaking, Nobuhiko decisively refused. As soon as he said this, Kadoyaji's face was full of doubts.

Looking at Kadoya Shi, Nobuhiko said word by word:

"Her life is determined by herself. No one can decide the life of others, not even her brother."

"But, she..."

"Afraid that she'll be hurt? Afraid that she won't be able to cope with the outside world? After all, isn't this a form of overprotection?"

After spending the past few years together, Nobuhiko has become accustomed to Kadoya Shi's protection of Kadoya Saya.

You may not believe it, but Kadoya Saya has never stepped out of the house in the past few years, and has almost never even stepped into the garden of the villa. Her daily life is to stand in front of the window and look at the distant scenery. Or play the piano in the room, or read a book, watch TV, etc. in the living room alone.

It can be said that Kadoya Saya has almost brought the attribute of home to the extreme. What is even more surprising is that this kind of life has already started when Kadoya's parents passed away, and it has been almost nine years now.

Judging from the cause, Kadoya Saya was a stress reaction due to the death of her parents, but Kadoya Shi's over-protection of her was also an important reason.

Of course, Kado Yashi was only a ten-year-old child at that time, and it was already extremely difficult to take good care of Saya, so he couldn't ask for more.

"Xiaoye is almost an adult. She should have independent thoughts, Shi. It's not okay to rely all on others. If I have a bad intention, do you know what Xiaoye will become in the end?"

Nobuhiko calmly said what was horrifying to think about.

She is alone, not familiar with the world, has a huge fortune, and is still a young girl who is about to become an adult. All these factors combined, all point to one label - fat sheep.

As soon as these words came out, Kadashi suddenly raised his head. He looked at Nobuhiko in disbelief, with fear in his eyes - not fear of Nobuhiko, but fear of Nobuhiko's words.

As time passed, Kado Yashi slowly calmed down. He stared at Nobuhiko's face, as if he wanted to find some flaws in that familiar face.

Nobuhiko's eyes met his without fear, and the two sides just stared at each other.

Finally, Kado Yashi seemed to be relieved, and he said:
"With your words, I feel more at ease."

"Didn't you ask me if I wanted to?"

"Ok?"

"I have no intention of tying my whole life to anyone else, not even Miss Xiaoye, but I can promise you that I will take good care of her before you come back."

"...What if I can't come back?"

Kadashi asked what he was most worried about. He was like a drowning camel, and Nobuhiko was the last straw. "Then I will leave after she becomes independent. Like I said, she has her own life. You have always protected her so well. She will eventually have to face it alone."

Nobuhiko ruthlessly exposed Saya's state.

It can be said that in the movie version, Saya's resentment towards Kadoyaji and Kadoyashi's way of taking care of Saya have a lot to do with it.

"As a friend, I would like to give you a suggestion. You'd better tell Xiaoye the matter clearly. She has to face it alone."

"······I will······"

Kado Yashi took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind.

Seeing his appearance, Nobuhiko was slightly relieved. If this continues, Xiaoye may not become as extreme as the movie version.

However, he was wrong.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Nobuhiko was leisurely studying rock sugar pear in the kitchen when a quarrel suddenly sounded. He came to the living room and found that Kado Yaji was fully armed and looked like he was about to go away. In front of him was Xiaoye who looked eager.

"Why are you leaving? Xiaoye will be lonely alone!"

Xiaoye's face was full of anxiety, and her eyes were full of panic and confusion about the future.

However, Kado Yashi said to Xiaoye with a smile:
"Don't worry, I will be back soon, and I will bring photos as a gift. Before that, Mr. Qiuyue will take care of you on my behalf."

Having said this, he stepped forward, touched Xiaoye's hair, and said solemnly:
"Listen to Mr. Qiuyue, Xiaoye. In fact, you can survive alone."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ye was stunned. She looked at Kado Yaji with some disbelief. After Kado Yashi finished all this, he turned to Nobuhiko and said:

"Mr. Qiuyue, I'm leaving it to you Xiaoye."

He solemnly promised, then turned and walked towards the room.

At this moment, Xiaoye suddenly stopped him:

"Brother, Xiaoye, Xiaoye will always be waiting for you..."

"Ah."

With a bang, the door opened and closed, and Kadoya Shi's figure disappeared in front of the two of them.

Xiao Ye just stood there, staring blankly in the direction where her brother was leaving. Her long hair hung down, covering her face. However, Nobuhiko could vaguely see some crystal things falling through the gap in her hair.

"Miss Xiaoye?"

Nobuhiko felt that the atmosphere was not right. What Kadoyaji said when he left just now didn't sound like he was telling Saya the reason.

At this moment, Xiaoye suddenly stepped forward, threw herself into Nobuhiko's arms, and hugged him tightly with both hands.

"Forehead·······"

Nobuhiko's mouth twitched, what is going on?
He just wanted to comfort Xiaoye, but at this moment, Xiaoye's crying voice sounded:
"Mr. Qiuyue, brother, he doesn't want Xiaoye anymore. Xiaoye, now only Mr. Qiuyue is left..."

Hearing this, Nobuhiko's mood was indescribably strange.

What kind of deja vu is this? !
ps: The plot of the decade has officially begun, but... as I said before, there are too many pitfalls in the decade, so I let myself go. I want to integrate a certain game to pave the way for the world of agito.

Finally, when I was writing the outline, I couldn't agree more with Narutaki's words - Oh, it's so tiring and decadent!
