Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadow

"Mr. Akizuki, Xiaoye... can I entrust her to you?"

Since they met, Kado Shi used honorifics for the first time.

No matter what, his feelings for his sister are unquestionable. It can be said that since his parents left, his sister has become everything to him.

Although, in a sense, Xiaoye has also become a shackle that binds him.

"Xiaoye is very simple. She can't deal with things outside. In the past, I have always protected her, but now I have something I must do, so I want to ask you to protect her."

Kado Shi made a plea. He entrusted his sister to the familiar stranger in front of him. After several years of getting along day and night, he has initially trusted the person in front of him. In his opinion, the person who can come here just by his sister's call will at least help him protect Xiaoye.

Facing Kadoya's plea, Nobuhiko's face did not change at all, but asked a question:

"Do you mean to entrust your sister's life to me?"

"Yes, that's right, you are the only one I can ask..."

"I refuse."

Before Kadoya finished speaking, Nobuhiko decisively refused. As soon as Kadoya said this, Kadoya's face was full of confusion.

Looking at Kadoya, Nobuhiko said word by word:

"Her life is decided by herself. No one can decide the life of others, even her brother."

"But, she..."

"Afraid that she will be hurt? Afraid that she can't cope with the outside world? In the final analysis, isn't this a kind of overprotection?"

After getting along with Kadoya for several years, Nobuhiko has become accustomed to Kadoya's protection of Kadoya Saya.

You may not believe it, but Kadashi Saya has not stepped out of the house in the past few years, and has hardly 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 books and watch TV alone in the living room.

It can be said that Kadashi Saya has almost brought the attribute of being a homebody to the extreme. What is more surprising is that this kind of life has started as early as when Kadashi's parents died, and it has been almost nine years now.

From the cause point of view, Kadashi Saya is a stress reaction caused by the death of her parents, but Kadashi's overprotection of her is also an important reason.

Of course, Kadashi was only a ten-year-old child at that time. It was extremely difficult to take good care of Saya, and he could not ask for more.

"Saya is almost an adult, she should have independent ideas, Shi, it is not okay to put all your reliance on others. If I have a little bad intention, what will Saya become in the end, do you know?"

Xinyan said indifferently something that is horrible to think about carefully.

Alone, ignorant of the world, with a huge fortune, and a girl who is about to come of age, all these factors add up to one label - fat sheep.

As soon as these words came out, Kadoya Shi suddenly looked up, looking at Nobuhiko in disbelief, with fear in his eyes - not fear of Nobuhiko, but fear of Nobuhiko's words.

Time passed by minute by minute, Kadoya Shi slowly calmed down, he stared at Nobuhiko's face, as if he wanted to find some flaws from that familiar face.

Nobuhiko's eyes met his gaze without fear, and the two looked at each other like this.

Finally, Kadoya seemed to be relieved, and he said:

"With your words, I feel more relieved."

"Didn't you ask me if I was willing?"

"Hmm?"

"I don't plan to tie my life to someone else, 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?"

Kadoya asked the situation 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. As I said, she has her own life. You have always protected her too well. She will have to face it alone in the end."

Nobuhiko ruthlessly exposed Xiaoye's state.

It can be said that in the movie version, Xiaoye's resentment towards Kadoya is largely due to Kadoya's way of taking care of Xiaoye.

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

"······I will·····"

Kadoya took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

Seeing his look, Nobuhiko felt relieved. If it goes on like this, Xiaoye might not become as extreme as in the movie version.

However, he was wrong.

The next morning, after breakfast, when Nobuhiko was leisurely studying rock sugar and snow pear in the kitchen, a quarrel suddenly broke out. He came to the living room and found that Kadoya was fully armed and ready to go far away. In front of him was Xiaoye with an anxious face.

"Why do you want to leave? 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, Kadoya said to Xiaoye with a smile:

"Don't worry, I will be back soon and will bring back photos as gifts. Before that, Mr. Akizuki will take care of you on my behalf."

He walked forward, touched Xiaoye's hair, and said solemnly:

"Listen to Mr. Akizuki, Xiaoye, you can actually survive on your own."

After these words came out, Xiaoye was stunned. She looked at Kadoya Shi with some disbelief. After Kadoya Shi finished all this, he turned to Nobuhiko and said:

"Mr. Akizuki, Xiaoye is in your hands."

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

At this time, Xiaoye suddenly called him:

"Brother, Xiaoye, Xiaoye will always wait for you..."

"Yeah."

Bang, the door opened and closed, and Kadoya Shi's figure disappeared in front of the two.

Xiaoye just stood there, staring blankly at the direction where her brother left. Her long hair hung down, covering her face, but Nobuhiko could vaguely see some crystal things falling through the gaps in her hair.

"Miss Xiaoye?"

Nobuhiko felt that the atmosphere was not right. What Kadoya Shi said when he left just now did not seem to tell Xiaoye the reason.

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

"Uh..."

Nobuhiko's mouth twitched, what's going on?

He just wanted to comfort Xiaoye, but at this moment, Xiaoye's voice with a crying voice sounded:

"Mr. Akizuki, my brother doesn't want Xiaoye anymore, Xiaoye, now Mr. Akizuki is the only one left..."

Hearing this, Nobuhiko felt even more strange.

What kind of déjà vu is this? !

PS: The plot of decade officially begins, but... As I said before, there are too many pitfalls in decade, so I let myself go and integrate a certain game to pave the way for the world of agito.

Finally, when writing the outline, I agreed with Narutaki's words in my heart-oh, I'm tired of decade!
