I, the Stand-in, Kamen Rider

Although I tried wearing a W drive, I couldn't share Ruri's perception...

Gu Chengxiu galloped anxiously on the streets of Fengdu, looking for Liuli's figure.

……

But at this moment, the place where Liuli is is not in Fengdu.

"Ah, long time no see, little Liuli." A childish voice sounded, and the world in front of her eyes instantly turned into pure gold, and that golden figure with an invisible face appeared there.

"...Why did you come here?"

"It's so cold... Forget it, I'm here to tell you the news anyway." The voice that sounded very young continued, "And, there is this thing."

The figure suddenly took out a small bottle-like thing from nowhere, "I forgot to import the program of this thing for you, so the collected data can only be made with a blank bottle to make a rough estimate. Go with the original, and this one."

The figure threw two bottles, one red and one white, to Liuli, and the two bottles turned into data streams and merged into Liuli's body, "That's it, I'm going back, and I'm not allowed to stay here for a long time of."

"...I have a question to ask you." Liuli said suddenly.

"It's really rare - you actually want to ask me a question, what do you want to ask?" The golden figure that was about to disappear immediately solidified.

"Why do I feel familiar with the things when I got along with Axiu?" Liuli asked, staring at the golden figure closely.

"Do you really want to know?" The figure asked back, "That might make you doubt yourself."

The tone of the golden figure sounded very relaxed, but there was a hint of warning in the tone, which made Liuli stop thinking about it.

Although this guy is sometimes a bit nonsensical, but... he is willing to speak in such a serious tone, which shows the seriousness of the matter in disguise.

"Well, it's still too early, if you really want to know..." The golden figure turned around, "At least discover the true strength of that guy, when you and him truly accept each other, come to me again. "

After finishing speaking, the golden world receded like a tide, and disappeared together with that golden figure.

Liuli stood on the street, silently staring at the direction where the figure was standing just now.

Why... did he warn me like that?

And at this time, a W drive appeared on Liuli's waist, and Gu Chengxiu's anxious voice sounded at the same time, "Liuli! Can you hear me! Liuli!"

"It's so loud! I can hear it!"

Probably because Gu Chengxiu was anxious, the voice of the soul link was also a bit loud, so that Liuli almost felt like someone was playing a symphony in her ear.

"Liuli, you finally responded—where are you now?"

Liuli felt a little embarrassed when he heard Gu Chengxiu's anxious tone—it seemed that Ashiu was also anxious because he didn't see her...

"Sorry, Ash..."

"There's so much nonsense, hurry up and report the address." Gu Chengxiu's helpless voice sounded, "I'll pick you up, the commission this time is a bit strange... and I always have a bad feeling..."

"Okay, okay, I got it..." Liuli reported the address, and then Gu Chengxiu said, "Wait for me for two minutes." Then he released the driver.

"...Are you aware of his true abilities? What does it mean to truly accept each other...?"

Liuli chewed these two sentences over and over, but didn't know what they meant, and then puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"Can play charades, you annoying guy!"

……

Gu Chengxiu found Liuli at the place Liuli had agreed upon, and he finally showed a calm expression on his tense face.

"Let's go to the office." Gu Chengxiu stretched out his hand to Liu Li and said.

Liuli stared straight at Gu Chengxiu's face for about five seconds, Gu Chengxiu asked strangely, "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Liuli said without looking away.

"...Then get in the car quickly, let's go." Gu Chengxiu was silent for a while, then said.

"Understood." Liuli stuck out her tongue, then stretched out her hand to hold Gu Chengxiu's hand tightly, and sat on the back seat of HardBoilder with ease.

"Liu Li." While driving the car, Gu Chengxiu suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

"...No...it's okay." Gu Chengxiu paused, but finally he didn't ask his own question.

"...?" Liuli gave Gu Chengxiu a strange look, then hugged Gu Chengxiu's back tightly.

The young man's back was broad and strong, Liuli leaned on it, and said softly, "Don't worry... I won't disappear suddenly..."

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

Gu Chengxiu and the others arrived at the detective agency, opened the door and walked in, only to find that the atmosphere here was heavy, Shotaro was holding Kirihiko by the collar, and everyone else was silent.

"Ashiu...you're here." Shotaro looked at Gucheng Xiu.

"What is this for?" Gu Chengxiu asked a little strangely, "Let go of your hand first, what happened?"

"We also happen to have a question to ask you." Ryu Teru said.

"..." Gu Chengxiu frowned, "Ask."

"Why did you ask Kirihiko to conceal information about the museum?" Terui Ryu asked.

"...? You haven't asked him about this information, have you? There is only one thing I asked him to hide--and it was just to take care of Shotaro-senpai and Philip-senpai's feelings--the fact that Sonosaki Wakana is also an official of the museum. "Gu Chengxiu said so.
