Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadows

Chapter 251 It seems good to marry you (first update)
"Mr. Sonosaki, it's done."

At the dinner table, Nobuhiko placed the Fengshen Pterodactyl memory in front of Sonosaki Ryubei, still deliberately doing it in front of everyone.

Sonosaki Ryuhei picked up the memory, felt the extremely active earth memory inside, and nodded with satisfaction:
"As expected of you, Nobuhiko, you have obtained quite precious data."

"I'm also surprised that there are people who are adaptable to it."

Nobuhiko sat back in his seat with a smile and continued:

"What's even more interesting is that because the other party's name comes from Queztec, the feathered serpent god in the Aztec civilization, this makes the Aeolian Pterosaur also have a tendency to develop into myths and legends. In short, there are many What a coincidence."

"Oh, Quetzalcoatl? You have prepared another great gift for me, Nobuhiko-kun."

Saying that, Sonosaki Ryuhei took another look and put the memory away:

"The next step is to leave it to the research institute. I'm looking forward to seeing what extent this power will reach."

Having said this, Sonosaki Ryuhei glanced at Isaka slightly.

Isaka, who was eager for the memory of Fengshen Pterosaur a few days ago, was silent now, as if he had completely lost interest.

When Saeko saw this, he had a thought in his mind and said:
"Father, there is something I want to tell you."

"Oh?"

"Actually, I think this memory already has a suitable experimental subject, which is -"

"There's no need to think about that kind of thing now. This memory has a more important role. It's not time to find a host yet."

Before Saeko could finish speaking, Sonosaki Ryuhei interrupted.

This move made Seiko a little embarrassed.

Wakana next to her sneered when she saw this. However, before she could be happy for a long time, Sonosaki Ryubei turned to her and said:

"Wakana, please officially resign from your job at the radio station during this time. You have grown up, and you will always have to officially participate in the memory circulation work in the future."

"Huh? But father..."

"It's decided."

Because of Sonosaki Ryubei's words, the dinner this time seemed a bit strange, and no one spoke until the end of the dinner.

Saeko and Isaka returned to their rooms. Nobuhiko originally planned to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Wakana.

"Nobuhiko-kun, can you stay with me for a while?"

"Yes, but let me tell you in advance that I am not a suitable person for consultation."

Nobuhiko was a little confused, but he didn't refuse.

The place of conversation was naturally not Wakana's bedroom, but the balcony on the second floor.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the warm evening breeze blows through the hair, as if a girl's soft skin is gently caressing her.

The huge Fengdu Tower was rotating quietly in the distance, but most of its body was blocked by a building.

"Nobuhiko-kun, when people grow up, can't they live according to their own will?"

Wakana leaned against the railing, the breeze blowing her hair away.

She likes to look at the Fudu Tower, which may be why she is loved by everyone on the radio show. Just like Shotaro, she also loves this city.

"It's really a complicated issue. It's like this for everyone. Ordinary people have to face the pressure of life and family responsibilities when they grow up. But Miss Wakana...enjoyed the resources provided by the Sonosaki family, Then we have to take on the responsibility of the Sonosaki family, which seems to be a matter of course."

"That's true. I've always been a very willful person. It's because of this that Sister-sama has always wanted to kill me."

Wakana's cheeks showed a trace of ridicule.

Because of the immortal nature of the clay doll's memory, she was often attacked by Saeko when she was a child. Although she would not die, the feeling was definitely not much better.

"But then again, onee-sama seems to like that job very much. Wouldn't it be nice to let her take full responsibility?"

"Perhaps you are an irreplaceable existence for Saeko-san." "Huh?"

Suddenly hearing this, Wakana subconsciously turned to look at Nobuhiko and asked doubtfully:
"What do you mean?"

"It's just speculation. To be honest, from the perspective of a bystander, your status in the Sonosaki family is indeed very special, and your sister Saeko has actually been under a lot of pressure."

"pressure?"

"Why do you think she works so hard? Even after Kirihiko left her, he threw himself into the arms of another person without hesitation. There are certainly emotional factors involved, but the most important thing is - she hopes to get Your father’s approval and Isaka Mikuru’s strength are also extremely important in her eyes.”

Nobuhiko said something that Wakana had never noticed.

It's sad to say that the fate of a family that has been cursed by the earth has already been determined, so this also makes them leave a deep impression on people even though they are villains.

"She should have given up a lot of things for this purpose."

"It sounds like you know her very well."

"No, it's just a guess. When you concentrate on doing something, you will always have to give up other things. It's a simple reason."

"maybe."

Wakana gently flipped her hair, looked at Nobuhiko, and a thought suddenly came to her head:
"By the way, it seems like a good choice to follow my father's arrangement and marry you."

"What?"

Nobuhiko was stunned.

"Anyway, I don't have anyone I like. Your power is extremely important to the Sonosaki family. At least in my opinion, you are much more pleasing to the eye than that guy named Isaka."

Wakana said matter-of-factly.

Of course, Nobuhiko also knew that most of this passage was a joke. Wakana was just uneasy because of a temporary incident. He and Wakana were now more than acquaintances, not even friends.

"Then I'm really honored, but it's a pity that even if you agree, your father will not agree now."

"What do you mean?"

"Because my relationship with the Sonosaki family is not as simple as it seems to you. How should I put it? It feels like a dirty adult world."

"You're obviously not much older than me, why are you pretending to be an adult?"

Wakana looked at Nobuhiko's inscrutable look and couldn't help but complain, and then she left the fence:
"But thank you, I feel a little better now."

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort. Goodbye."

Seeing that Wakana's mood improved, Nobuhiko turned and left the balcony, but Wakana did not leave. She turned her head and looked at the Fengdu Tower under the night, in a daze, as if she wanted to explore her true thoughts.

On the other side, after Nobuhiko stepped out of the balcony, he found Saeko standing by the door, obviously having been listening for a long time.

"Do you care about your sister that much?"

Nobuhiko teased.

Saeko came back to his senses, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips:
"Concerned? Don't be joking. I'm just worried that my wayward sister will cause trouble for the Sonosaki family. You are a dangerous person. Moreover, what did you look like just now? Did you seem to know me very well?"

"In a sense, it is true, but when I see you, I think of one thing."

"what?"

"Actually, the last time I had a showdown with your father, what's interesting is that in order to win over me, he once told me that Wakana is indeed a bit willful, but he has two daughters."

After that, Nobuhiko left with a smile.

After staying where he was, Saeko's face instantly turned ugly after savoring his words.

She could barely control her expression.

Father, even though I have done so much, do you just treat me as a pawn?
