I, the Stand-in, Kamen Rider

It was as if it foreshadowed the state of mind of his two seniors at this moment.

……

Wind Blowing Mountain·Villa.

Both Shotaro and Philip spent the night here today.

It's just that the two of them sat quietly without saying anything.

Shotaro couldn't keep up with Philip's strength, and the two... couldn't continue fighting.

That's why they were all silent.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"... Forget it, let's find the bear." Shotaro stood up slowly when the sky was getting dark.

He put the memory in his hand into the Bat Shot, and then released the Spider Shock and so on.

"I'll go too..." Philip was pushed back as soon as he stood up.

"Philip, you can just rest here." Shotaro said with his hips akimbo, "I'll just go - I can't become W anymore, if that's the case, then just let me be a good detective. "

"Shotaro..." Philip hesitated to speak, but Shotaro interrupted Philip directly.

"I'll be back soon." Shotaro turned around and walked out in the heavy rain.

"Shotaro..." Philip watched Shotaro leave, and stretched out his hand towards Shotaro's back.

……

"Shallow men will lose something more important one day...is it Philip this time?"

Shotaro was walking in the deep mountains, and it was still a little cold in the mountains in the early morning. Coupled with the rain, Shotaro was wet all over and looked extremely embarrassed.

Just like his state of mind at this moment.

After he became W, he couldn't cooperate with Philip -- such things made him feel really terrible, very bad.

Moreover, he was not as vigilant as Ah Xiu. Even Ah Xiu had noticed the arrival of Jingsaka Shenhonglang, but he didn't notice it, and on the contrary almost put the client in danger.Ah Xiu was also injured...

Ah Xiu called himself "Senior"... Ha, this senior is really incompetent.

Shotaro raised his head with a wry smile, letting the rain wash his face.

However, at this time Bat Shot flew back to his side.

"found it?!"

……

Shotaro picked up the wooden bear by the river—it should have been washed here by the river, but luckily, it didn't get washed away.

Shotaro picked up the wooden bear, and then shook it lightly, feeling the texture of the wooden bear...

Slightly weird.

Shotaro tossed up and down, put the wooden bear to his ear, and heard the sound of something inside.

Shotaro touched the wooden bear, and then found a mechanism behind the buttocks.

He snapped lightly with his nails, and then the woodcarving bear's tail part was picked off.

"This is……?"

……

Back at the villa, Shotaro wiped himself wet and put the wooden bear on the table.

"Found it? Is there anything strange?" Philip picked up the wooden bear and asked after tossing up and down.

"No, it's just an ordinary wooden bear. Get ready. Let's go back and see Axiu too." Shotaro smiled and said.

His smile seemed to be hiding something.

However, Philip didn't notice that something was wrong with Shotaro, but he still looked preoccupied.

If it were Philip in the past, he would have noticed something wrong with Shotaro immediately, but today Philip happened to be at a loss, so he didn't notice anything wrong.

……

After returning to the room, Shotaro made a call to Osamu Kojo, and it was Ruri who answered the call.

"Ah Xiu fell asleep." Liu Li said.

"...Ha, that's great." Shotaro breathed a sigh of relief, "Is Xiu okay?"

"You'll be fine after a few days of recuperation, that's what the doctor said." Liuli said with a bit of helplessness in her voice, "Come here quickly."

"This worried tone, haha, are you Mama-san?"

"...Shotaro-senpai—it's very rude to talk to a girl like that..."

Ruri's voice sounded a little more terrifying to Shotaro, and he immediately denied it, "No, nothing, I'll go there with Philip right now."

Shotaro and Philip rushed to the hospital, and along the way, neither of them said a few words, just like two strangers——

But in fact, they were close partners to each other just one day ago.

The atmosphere between the two on the road didn't change when they arrived at the hospital—Xiu Gucheng just woke up again, seeing them like this, Xiu Gucheng also showed a helpless expression.
