Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadows

Chapter 369 You don’t need to change yourself for others (first update)
"Tomoko!"

Taro Kisaragi hurriedly knocked on the door of Tomoko Nozama's house, and regardless of her mother's surprise, he rushed into her room with Yugi Shirojima.

Looking at the empty room, he couldn't help but clenched his hands:

"It's still a step late."

"Xiao Xian, Xianwu seems to have discovered something over there, let's go there quickly!"

"Hmm...huh?"

Suddenly, Kisaragi Gentaro seemed to have discovered something, and he reached out and picked up something on the table - it was a matryoshka doll engraved with gothic patterns, just like the usual Nozama Tomoko.

However, when he opened it, underneath the Gothic-style appearance, there was an extremely ordinary doll inside.

"She... wants to change?"

At this moment, Kisaragi Gentaro realized the true intention of Nozama Tomoko.

······
Open your eyes and see the sky full of stars and the bright moon.

Nozama Tomoko was shocked and immediately sat up, only to realize that she was lying on the rooftop of the school building in her pajamas.

"You finally woke up."

A lazy voice sounded, and Nozama Tomoko turned around to look - Altarza, Kuramochi Lily and Okamura Masami were all standing not far away, some looking at the night sky, some bowing their heads in meditation, and some joking. looked at her.

Next to them, a magic circle decorated with candles has been set up.

"Ritsuko-senpai? Give that back to me!"

Seeing the ring on Altarza's hand, Nozama Tomoko frowned and immediately stepped forward to ask for it.

But Yuri Kuramochi and Masami Okamura held their shoulders firmly, unable to move.

"I said, Tomoko, even after becoming a real witch, you don't seem to have changed much. This ring seems a bit wasted in your hand."

The altar holder slowly stepped forward, stretched out his index finger to gently lift Nozama Tomoko's chin, and said jokingly.

"What do you want to do? Ritsuko-senpai?"

"What do I want to do? I'm the one who should ask this, right?"

The originally joking face of the Altarpiece suddenly turned ferocious:
"Having acquired the identity of a so-called magician, have you forgotten everything before?"

"Everything before..."

Hearing this, Nozama Tomoko's face was startled, and then turned pale.

Seeing this appearance, Altarpiece nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"Yes, why do we want to become witches? Because the world has abandoned us, and others will only blame us! Therefore, we must make this world abandon us and slander us pay the price! It’s for this reason that we come together, isn’t it?”

"No, that's just your idea. I, I never thought about taking revenge on other people. I just wanted to go to the moon!"

"But you have experienced the same thing as me! Have you not experienced being ostracized just because you saw something that ordinary people can't see? If something goes wrong, you will blame me directly. Have you not experienced this? "

Altarza suddenly raised his voice, which silenced Nozama Tomoko.

Among the four witches, she has the most similar experience to Ritsuko Usaka. She was ostracized because of her love of occultism and suffered never-ending cold violence. It was precisely because of this that she wanted to become a witch and leave the world that rejected her. world.

Seeing her expression, the corners of Altarpiece's mouth raised slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his eyebrows:
"Yes, that's it. So what if you get the Philosopher's Stone? So what if you get the power of the witch? The only people who can understand you are us. Come on, accept our power and let those who bully us feel the pain! "

Her voice was like a real witch, full of charm.

That's right, no one will understand me...
Nozama Tomoko stopped struggling, and the other two also released their restraints.

Looking at the coat of arms and magic ring handed over by the altar, she stretched out her hand and took it.

Although suddenly becoming a magic stone could satisfy her wish, it could not solve the most fundamental problem - Nozama Yuko herself did not realize that what she had always longed for was the companionship and recognition of her partners.

Now, Altarza, who had the same experience, successfully touched her heart.

Just as Nozama Tomoko was hesitantly about to put the coat of arms around her neck, an urgent voice sounded:
"Wait, Tomoko!"

The door to the rooftop opened with a bang, and Gentaro Kisaragi rushed up panting, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Gentaro? Why?"

"Huh... Because this idiot is worried about you, and I have been monitoring and monitoring Usaka Ritsuko's actions... Huh..."

Following closely behind him was the singer Xianwu who was also panting heavily.

As a frequent visitor to the health room, such an exercise was really difficult for him, but even so, he still followed. Not only him - all the members of the Kamen Rider Club gathered here.Looking at everyone's appearance, Nozama Tomoko was stunned:
"How could you..."

"Tomoko, actually, you have always wanted to change yourself, right?"

Gentaro stared at Tomoko and shouted loudly:

"In fact, there is no need to change yourself because of others. In this school, there are a lot of students with problems worse than you, and we are one of them."

"No, don't talk like you know me well!"

"As I said, we are friends, and I can feel what my friends really think!"

Kisaragi Gentaro took a step forward, with firmness in his tone:

"You have been running away, but in fact you have nowhere to escape. Haven't you already been to the moon? There is nothing you want up there!"

"No, there is also Utopia of the Moon..."

"Do you want to put all your hopes on others? Tomoko, you are you, don't run away, this is who you really are, I will accept you, no, everyone in the Kamen Rider Club will accept you, accept you everything of!"

Kisaragi Gentaro's sincere words were like a bunch of sharp arrows piercing Nozama Tomoko's heart.

Involuntarily, the hand holding the coat of arms instantly let go.

pat--!
The glass jar containing the silkworm chrysalis fell to pieces together with the coat of arms, and tears overflowed from the corners of Tomoko's eyes.

"Gentaro-san..."

"Come back, Tomoko!"

Seeing this scene, Gentaro Kisaragi also showed a sincere smile, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, sarcastic laughter suddenly echoed on the rooftop.

"Hahaha, hahahaha, hahahahahaha——!"

Altarza laughed, seeming to be mocking himself, and also seeming to be mocking Tomoko and Gentaro.

"Ritsuko-senpai..."

"What is that? A love story? A campus love story? A girl who is redeemed? What a joke!"

Her voice quickly changed from a dull taunt to a hysterical shout. Her eyes were fixed on Gentaro, and she slowly raised her wand. In an instant, dazzling flames condensed on the wand.

"Blow up all of you and this disgusting school!"

As she spoke, she raised her wand high.

And at this moment, Tomoko's intuition took effect:

"Don't let her get in there! Something terrible will happen!"

"Hahaha, just go to the so-called Utopia of the Moon in your dream!"

The Altarpiece roared and thrust it into the magic circle with all its strength. Just when the wand was about to hit the magic circle, two shining emblems suddenly appeared and hit the Altarpiece's body, knocking the angry witch away. He walked out and fell heavily from the rooftop to the ground.

"Yes, who is it?"

He propped up his body on the altar base and looked around cautiously.

At this moment, crisp footsteps came from the distance.

"She is the one that the master likes, so I can't let you do whatever you want."

"The Utopia of the Moon is not just a dream."

"Is it you?"

Hearing this voice, the Altarpiece looked up, and then, under the bright moonlight, she saw two familiar figures, one gold and one silver, slowly walking towards her.

Then, they stood not far away, bathed in the moonlight, and slowly raised their hands.

Om-!
The light of gold and silver flickered on her waist. The next moment, the light shrank, and what appeared in front of her were two almost identical knights.

Kamen Rider Zelena & Kamen Rider Silena——Appear!
And this scene was also seen by Kisaragi Gentaro and others on the rooftop.

ps: I suddenly realized that, like Gentaro Tsuki’s experience with several female characters, it wouldn’t be out of place to fall in love with other dramas. But in the end, he fell in love with a being from the universe, and it was still a very highly rated love scene in Knight’s Pen.

Also, the second update will be later.
