Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadows

Chapter 279 Shotaro: Be a good father to Philip (second update)

While Nobuhiko was discussing with everyone in Consortium X, a group of Kamen Riders also completed their meeting in the detective agency.

Although Terui Ryu resisted a beam of shadow head-on, the armor in the amplified mode was still guaranteed, not to mention Terui Ryu's own special physique, but it would be fine if he rested for a while.

Narumi Shokichi fell into silence, seemingly resenting the fact that he was manipulated by others into taking action against his disciple.

Therefore, in the basement, the only people who were really talking were Shotaro, Phillip, Minami Kotaro and Hongo Takeshi.

"...That's what happened. I didn't expect Nobuhiko to be resurrected again, and he came here to revive Golgom with the help of Gaia's memory."

When Minami Kotaro said this, there was a sense of sadness on his face:

"Sure enough, the curse of the Creator King will not stop even if it crosses the world..."

He told those present about his battle with Gorgom.

Hearing this, the w duo also fell silent.

Shotaro's tone was also a little solemn:
"So, that was the starting night for seniors."

"Before this, we had been fighting overseas with the museum's supporter consortium X. After detecting the traces of Shadow Moon, we rushed back immediately. Unexpectedly, we were still a step too late."

Hongo looked solemn and said to Shotaro and Philip:
"Now that Sonosaki Wakana is caught by him, I'm afraid he will start Gaia's impact soon."

"What will happen to Sister Wakana if Gaia Impact is activated?"

Phillip was shocked and asked quickly.

He was unable to access books related to the museum. Similarly, Sonosaki Wenyin betrayed the Sonosaki family a long time ago. Although she knew about the Gaia attack, she did not know the consequences.

At this moment, a vicissitudes of voice sounded:

"Wakana, will die."

Everyone suddenly turned their heads to look - Sonosaki Ryuhei said with a solemn expression. Having lost his memory, he had truly become an ordinary old man at this moment:

"The Gaia impact itself is a sacrifice to the earth. Originally, according to my plan, I planned for you to become Wakana's victim, and Wakana became the real queen of the earth. But now, only Wakana is left, so... ··”

Although the words were not finished, the meaning was already clear.

Hearing this, Yasuko, who was taking care of Terui Ryuu, instantly became angry:

"You guy, do you regard your children as victims?"

After saying that, she picked up the slippers and wanted to give them to the other party. However, looking at the face that was almost [-] years old and looking at the slippers again, she put it down unwillingly:

"Ever since Philip found out about you, he has always wanted to reunite with you!"

"Ashuzi!"

Phillip was about to say something when he saw this.

But Yashuzi shouted:
"I know! I know that Philip, you have always longed for your family, because I have also lost important family members! I understand that feeling!"

As he said that, Ashuko stared at Sonosaki Ryubei:
"For the so-called mission, you lost your entire family, and even turned your own son and daughter into that. You guys are simply the worst father!"

No wonder Ashuko was so excited. In this battle, if RX and the others hadn't arrived in time, something would have happened to Terui Ryu, Phillip and even Narumi Shokichi.

When she thought of such consequences, she couldn't suppress her anger.

Hearing Asukiko's words, Sonosaki Ryuhei's eyes also showed confusion:
"Yeah, what did I get? At first, I discovered Quan in Fengdu and thought I was a family chosen by the earth, but now it seems that I have nothing."

"That's of course, because you have long been swallowed up by the memory and completely fell into the abyss."

Shotaro said in a low voice.

After hearing this, Sonosaki Ryuhei also showed an inexplicable expression:

"Maybe, but I still don't regret inventing Gaia Memory. If it really fails, it will only prove that my ability is not enough."

"You still haven't woken up yet!"

Sonosaki Ryubei's words made Shotaro even more angry. He stepped forward and grabbed Sonosaki Ryubei's collar:

"Open your eyes and see the consequences you have caused! How many people you have made cry!"

"Shoutaro Zuo, can you accept my commission?"

Suddenly, Sonosaki Ryuhei spoke.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, including Shotaro.

"Actually, I have been paying attention to you. Originally, to me, you were just a small character who could be solved at any time. However, you have exceeded my expectations time and time again. Therefore, I want to place my hope on you, not on you. It’s up to you and those who come here—bring back both Wakana and Saeko.”

"········good."

Shotaro let go of his hand, stared at Sonosaki Ryubei, and said seriously:
"I want something as payment."

"Well, I know, after this incident is over, I will surrender..."

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Shotaro interrupted Sonosaki Ryuhei:
"Counting your sins in detail is the punishment you deserve. The reward I want is to be a good father to Philip in the future!"

"Ugh?"

"Shoutaro..."

Sonosaki Ryubei and Philip were stunned at the same time.

"I'm sorry, I can't help but say things like this when I see your partner's expression. Since I want to save your sister, I have to save all your family members at the same time - after all, I am your partner."

Shotaro twirled the brim of his hat, looked at his partner, and smiled.

His companions also showed knowing smiles.

"You're still like this."

"After all, the fact that Shotaro is a half-hearted tough guy cannot be changed."

Phillip and Ya Shuzi said one after the other.

As soon as this statement came out, Shotaro immediately became furious:

"Hey, how many times have I told you, he is a tough guy, a tough guy! He is not a dabbler!"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much more cheerful.

Sonosaki Ryuhei seemed to be infected too, with a strange expression on his face, but then he seemed to think of something and said to Shotaro:

"Be careful, Nobuhiko Tsukikage has obtained my Terror memory. If you are not immune to that kind of attack, you will suffer a big loss."

"Isn't it scary? Don't worry, no matter what kind of attack, you can't defeat me, because I am the last ace (Joker)!"

Shotaro said with a firm expression.

After hearing Nobuhiko's warning, he started training like crazy. Being able to develop to this level certainly has a high adaptability to the ace, but only he knows the hard work involved.

The reason is to protect your partners!

"As expected of the person that guy likes."

"Ugh?"

"Nobuhiko Tsukikage once mentioned you and spoke very highly of you. Now it seems that this evaluation is not excessive. Maybe, even without Tsukikage, I wouldn't be able to win in the end..."

With these words, Sonosaki Ryubei turned around and left the basement, leaving the scene to the Kamen Riders.

"...Anyway, let's search for Tsukikage Nobuhiko's information first. With more keywords, we should be able to retrieve more information."

At this moment, Phillip suddenly spoke.

The direction of the meeting is also back on track.

"Keyword, Shadow Moon!"

In the Earth Library, looking at the still locked books in front of him, Philip frowned:
"Change the keyword, Imperial Stone!"

Still not unlocked.

Are there any missing keywords?The information provided by Kotaro should be accurate enough.

Philip fell into deep thought.

On the other side, at the entrance to the museum's basement, a dazzling light burst out from his left hand, and at the same time he activated the memory next to him without hesitation.

Bat——!
Spider——!
wasp——!
·······
A dozen prompts sounded in succession, and a dozen weird people with different postures appeared in the basement of the museum.

"This is······"

Maria looked shocked.

Shadow Moon released her transformation and said proudly:

"The undead of Gorgom have become a brand new monster with the help of the power of memory! Now, do you feel the power of Gorgom?"

"Well, surprising power, but in the final analysis, the most valuable thing is you!"

"Haha."

A smile appeared on Nobuhiko's face:
"Tomorrow, the ceremony of Gaia's impact will be carried out. When the time comes, please be sure to appreciate it."

"I will, but why not do it right away? Those Kamen Riders are still watching."

"The ceremony requires conditions, not to mention, I still have something to do."

Having said this, Nobuhiko looked at the fountain not far away, which was shining with green light.
