Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadows

Chapter 159 Ozawa Sumiko: Let’s go have barbecue today! (Second update)

At least I'm not a monster...
For this man, Ryo Weihara, this is probably the only consolation.

After all, his girlfriend thought that he and unknown were both monsters and the same, but now, at least this problem has been solved.

However, in the final analysis, this is just self-comfort.

This power is a complete curse for Ryo Weihara.

Nobuhiko sat on the ground, looking at Ryo Aoihara without making a sound. It was not until Ryo Aoihara's mood stabilized that he continued:

"Those monsters are called Venerables, and their purpose is to kill people who may awaken Yajituo. Of course, people who have already awakened are also their targets. That's pretty much it."

"Excuse me, are these people people who have awakened?"

Hearing this, Wei Yuanliang seemed to have thought of something, and found a very worn-out notebook from his clothes.It was something left by his father, and he had been looking for clues based on the list above.

Nobuhiko took it and opened it. The notebook had obviously been there for a while. There were a few familiar names on it, but Nobuhiko also knew that the names recorded on it were the members of the Tianliang.

"Yes, but the relevant matters already involve the most fundamental truth, so I can't answer your specific reasons. The only thing I can tell you is that your father and these people have all been on a ship, and on that ship I woke up for some reason.”

Nobuhiko said, returning the notebook to Ryo Aoihara.

After hearing Nobuhiko's words, Ryo Weihara pondered for a long time and put away his notebook.

Then, he hesitated and asked hopefully:
"Is there any way to get rid of this power?"

"Yes, but to be honest, I don't think that's a good option."

Nobuhiko thought of the scene in the later period when the Black God took away Sho Ikko's power, and continued:
"Because all humans have the possibility of awakening. The difference is just sooner or later. This power is a curse, but it is indispensable for humans in this world. If you follow my wishes, you'd better control this power as much as possible. A force.”

"·····I see."

"You promised so quickly?"

"No, I still don't understand. To be honest, even after listening to you, I don't know why I should accept this power, but-"

Ryo Weihara looked at Nobuhiko and said word by word:

"-You are the only one who has helped me so far, so I trust you."

"This feels good, what are you going to do next?"

"Continue to investigate."

Ryo Weihara said without hesitation, his purpose did not waver at all:
"You said that you can't tell me the most fundamental truth, so I will verify it myself, and... people must have goals."

Having lost everything, Ryo Weihara regards finding out the truth as his goal, even now.

After the exchange, it was naturally time to replenish energy.

Ryo Weihara, who had not eaten for almost a day, wolfed down a box of bento. Fortunately, Nobuhiko was prepared for this situation and bought some bread, which made him full.

That night, Ryo Weihara slept at Nobuhiko's house. It was obviously a stranger's home, but Ryo Weihara rarely had a peaceful night. This was the first time since he transformed into Gills that he almost slept. He didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

However, Ryo Weihara didn't stay here long. After breakfast, he asked Nobuhiko to take him to the site of the incident, where his motorcycle was still parked.

Nobuhiko agreed, and within a few minutes the two of them arrived at the location.

Although it was possible to see police patrolling the scene due to the relationship between unknown and Gills yesterday, it was obvious that they did not notice a motorcycle parked here all night.

"It's a great car, but mine is not bad either." It seemed that because he knew a lot of things, Ryo Weihara relaxed a lot. Compared with the previous bitterness and hatred, now he showed a vigor that was suitable for his age.

"Well, how should I put it? The origin of this motorcycle is quite complicated, but in the final analysis, it also carries my memories and witnesses my growth."

Nobuhiko patted the silver surprised locust and said with a smile.

Weihara Ryo also showed a knowing smile. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and continued to ask:

"Well... I have always wanted to ask, why did you save me? Is it because I am Gills?"

"No, I promised that when I meet someone who needs help, I will try my best to lend a helping hand - as long as it is within my ability, give it to you."

With that said, Nobuhiko handed a piece of paper to Ryo Weihara. On it was a string of phone numbers and a key inside:
"Contact me if you need it. The same goes for that apartment. Use it as a shelter in times of crisis."

"Thank you, thank you... I will."

Weihara Ryo nodded, put the note and keys into his pocket solemnly, then rode on his motorcycle and left in the distance.

Looking at the direction he left, Nobuhiko smiled, lowered his head and looked at the Surprised Locust again, and said to himself:
"My motorcycle is better, wait, motorcycle?"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Nobuhiko's head. He might have found a way to break the seal. Without any delay, he immediately turned around and sprinted towards the apartment.

At the same time, in a barbecue restaurant next to the street, Ozawa Sumiko looked at the direction Nobuhiko left, frowning slightly - that person... seemed to have some impression.

At this moment, G3 team member Omuro asked doubtfully:
"Miss Ozawa, what are you looking at?"

"Ah? It's okay, it's okay, I'm just observing the scene."

Ozawa Sumiko shook her head and said nonchalantly.

On the opposite side, Hikawa Makoto said with a puzzled look:

"Um...I still don't understand why we suddenly come here to eat barbecue?"

"Idiot, our colleague Hojo Criminal was attacked by a masked man. What a terrible thing. As companions, shouldn't we come here to help him search for the murderer?!"

Ozawa Sumiko said righteously.

Hikawa Makoto is still puzzled:
"So, why barbecue?"

"My physical strength is exhausted during the search, so it's natural to eat some barbecue and drink some draft beer to replenish my physical strength."

Hearing Ozawa's answer, Taimu, who was having a barbecue on the side, couldn't help but complain:

"You are obviously gloating about your misfortune."

"This is my treat, what's the problem?"

As Ozawa Sumiko said, she picked up the barbecue that had just been grilled in the tail room and placed it in Hikawa Makoto's bowl.

Then, ignoring Omuro's dissatisfied expression, he continued:
"Anyway, we have to investigate Hojo's matter clearly, Hikawa. When we get back, I'll ask you to bring over the records. They must be the most detailed ones. To what extent was Hojo hit? Where was he hit? Are there any sequelae? You must know everything! Only in this way can you help Mr. Hojo!"

"Uh...yes..."

Seeing Ozawa Sumiko say such words seriously, Hikawa Makoto nodded subconsciously.

ps: The current plan is that the character in the play who has the most contact is Kubiliang. As for the others, do you want to play G3?
