Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadow

It was a familiar valley again.

But the scars of the battle had been repaired, and everything was back on track. Black God sent everyone back, glanced at Silina and Zelena, and looked at Nobuhiko deeply, then turned and disappeared.

The major event that was enough to change history returned to the right track. Should we say that he is worthy of being the God of Creation?

Although Nobuhiko's evolution speed could not be compared with Xiangyi, Black God did not care much. After all, for Him, a fleeting ten thousand years was just a blink of an eye, and Nobuhiko's evolution would sooner or later reach the point He wanted.

Nobuhiko also understood this. He and Kotaro looked at each other, and then walked towards home.

The integration of the world is intensifying, and the changes in history have made it a mess. While Black God changed history, he also restored the relationship between the worlds to their original state.

When he arrived at the familiar door, Kotaro stretched out his right hand tremblingly, as if he was afraid of something. At this moment, this warrior who was invincible on the battlefield, his hands were shaking like an old man in his seventies or eighties, and he couldn't press the doorbell even after trying several times.

Finally, he took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.

Dingdong~Dingdong~Dingdong~

Kacha——

The door opened, and a familiar and increasingly mature face appeared in front of everyone—it was Reiko. The moment he saw her, Kotaro's eyes moistened, and he subconsciously stepped forward and hugged her.

"Hey? Kotaro, why are you so... Wait, there are people watching..."

"I miss you so much, Reiko."

Hearing Kotaro's voice, Reiko seemed to understand something, stretched out her hand and quietly patted his body, and comforted him:

"Okay, okay, I'm fine."

As Kurokami said, after history changed, all the painful memories were eliminated, but the Kamen Rider who had experienced all this could not forget.

To Reiko, Kotaro just went out normally, but to Kotaro, he had been fighting Shocker alone for several years in a world where he had lost all his relatives. Now that he was reunited with his lover, even the strongest man could not help it.

After comforting for a while, Kotaro's mood calmed down, and then he invited Nobuhiko and others to come home together.

Tonight, it was another long-awaited reunion party. Nobuhiko temporarily fooled Silena, Zelena and Metzl with the identity of "children of friends".

Anzi, Shigeru, Xiaotong, Xiangzi, and elderly uncles and aunts all came.

Xiangzi is about to graduate, while Shigeru is still studying in college, and Xiaotong has just entered high school.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Anzi has become more and more outstanding, and the teenage girl in his memory has finally become an adult. Seeing this scene, Nobuhiko inexplicably felt a little sad in his heart.

Perhaps it was the instinctive reaction of Akizuki Nobuhiko's body.

I wonder what the scene will be like when I attend her wedding in the future...

Hmm? Why do I suddenly have such an idea? Is it the concern of an elder brother for his younger sister?

Nobuhiko thought of Kyoko's request to him when they met last time.

With this idea in mind, after the banquet, Nobuhiko found Kotaro and asked about Kyoko's love life. After all, Kotaro is also Kyoko's brother.

"She doesn't seem to be interested in this aspect, but she once told me that she plans to work in Osaka. Anyway, there is no other pressure in our family. As long as she is happy, it's fine."

Kotaro replied.

After experiencing a series of things, Kyoko seemed to have seen through the world and had no plans to get married. This view seems to be a bit unorthodox in this era, but Nobuhiko expressed his understanding and support.

People live a life, just be happy.

In the end, the host and the guests had a good night, but the good times were short after all. In the morning of the next day, Nobuhiko got up early and walked out of the room with Silina and others.

He planned to leave, just like before.

But this time, there was a graceful figure standing at the door in the spring morning light, obviously waiting for a long time - it was Kyoko, and it was obvious that she was waiting for Nobuhiko.

Seeing this scene, Nobuhiko signaled Silina and the other two to wait, and then walked up by himself.

"Are you leaving again?"

"Yes."

"Can you walk with me for a while?"

"Yes."

The two walked side by side on the street in the early morning. With the arrival of spring, everything revived, and the sound of swallows came to their ears.

After walking for a while, Kyoko suddenly spoke:

"Did you participate in any battle again?"

"Yes, but it's over. Don't worry, everyone is fine."

"But it must not be an easy battle. This is the first time I see that Kotaro brother has that kind of expression."

Kyoko stopped and turned to look at Nobuhiko.

Looking at the face that was exactly the same as in her memory, Kyoko was silent for a long time, then she said:

"When can you stop?"

"... It's hard to say."

Nobuhiko couldn't give a specific answer, Kurokami's words had already made it clear, becoming a Kamen Rider meant continuing to fight, even if there were a few years of peace, it would only be a short period of peace.

Kotaro's state was the best portrayal.

"Yes, whether it was Kotaro or you, you are carrying something very important, but for me, your safety is the most important. I don't want to experience that nightmare again."

Perhaps Kotaro's abnormal reaction stimulated her heart, so she came to find Nobuhiko.

Her feelings for Nobuhiko are complicated, so she even unconsciously avoids talking to Nobuhiko, and Nobuhiko is in the same situation.

"I can't stop you, and I don't have the right to stop you, but please accept this."

Apricot handed a small amulet to Nobuhiko:

"I heard that this is very effective, be careful."

"Don't worry, I cherish this life very much."

Nobuhiko took the amulet.

The so-called amulet is actually a talisman, which is usually obtained from the shrine. The price is not expensive, and for Nobuhiko, a genuine moon god, it is a bit humorous to use an amulet to pray for the blessing of the gods.

But the important thing is the intention in the amulet.

It was already very late when the party ended yesterday. Whether it was going to the shrine to ask for it or making it herself, Kyoko spent a lot of time and effort, and she might even have stayed up all night.

All this was just because the sister didn't want her "brother" to be in danger again.

"Well... Goodbye, brother."

With that, Kyoko left alone. Looking at the figure that disappeared at the end of the road, Nobuhiko looked down at the amulet in his hand again, and his expression was a little complicated:

"Goodbye, Kyoko."

Don't worry, I will take good care of this body.
