I'm really not Kamen Rider

Chapter 222: Kamiyama Ichijin (Part ) [Kamiyama Taiji, at that time, I was still called Taiyi…]

"Are you the newly chosen Flame Dragon of this generation?"

When we first met, she showed her cheeks stained with blood, as if she had a beard drawn on her face, which made her look particularly special.

Miaoman's figure revealed the beauty of a human being, rather than the hideousness of a monster, so much so that when Yizhen saw her for the first time, he couldn't tell what her true form was.

However, the madness and murderousness engraved in those golden eyes still made the two people who met for the first time have a clear understanding of each other.

There is no possibility of reconciliation in the feud between generations.

One is a terrifying existence second only to Gurongi.

One is the newly ascended Fire Dragon who will protect the common people.

The moment the two sides met, a war was about to break out.

"Witch!" He shouted angrily, and Yizhen carried out the grudge between the two enemies.

"Revenge for the previous generation of Flame Dragon! I'm coming for you!"

"Come and try if you can! The Fire Dragon of this generation!" With a sneer, one hand turned into a spreading vine that instantly touched the ground. The criss-crossing vines spread underground and headed towards the location of the Fire Dragon.

"Witch! I want you to show your true colors!"

With flames burning all over his body, Yizhen rushed towards the opponent with big strides.

...

That was the first collision between them. Just like any other story, when good and evil, good and wickedness met, without any reason, they would inevitably engage in a fatal fight.

There is no need for a reason to fight, because one is Gurongi and the other is Flame Dragon, and they have been enemies for generations, so killing each other is natural.

...

"Well done!" Patting Yizhen on the shoulder, the village chief said with a smile: "But it's not enough! You only repelled the opponent this time, not killed him!"

"It's not enough to just fight her off, you have to make sure you kill her! You have to kill her!"

"Ichima! You have to do better!"

"Yes!" He responded loudly, not daring to show his satisfaction with his performance. Instead, he humbly accepted the warning from the village chief, determined to become stronger, and then try to kill the opponent next time!
...

"If you can kill the Fire Dragon once, you can kill it a second time!" In the Gurongi's base, Daguba was not there as usual. The Gurongi from the same level, that is, the La Group, said to the Rose Girl.

"He's just a guy hastily chosen by the Fire Village! How could you not be able to deal with him?!"

"Kill him! You have to kill him!"

bump!
A vine pulled the other person up and forced him to close his mouth, and the Rose Girl had a cold face.

"You don't need to say anything." She said coldly: "Next time we meet, I will definitely kill him!"

...

No one knows how many times the battle took place after that. The battles between Rose Girl and Kamishima Ishin, from their first meeting, to daily battles, and then to the continuous battles, have become completely inseparable.

...

"It's still not enough, Yizhen. It seems that I won't be able to see you...victory..."

...

"Rose girl, why did you return empty-handed? You failed again!"

...

"Ichima! Why are you still empty-handed! Do you think she is everything to Gurongi? No! She is not important! The King of Gurongi is important!"

"If you can't defeat her, how are you going to defeat the King of Gurongi?!"

...

"Rose, our ultimate goal is to conquer the Fire Village and destroy the entire village, and the Flame Dragon is the one that must be destroyed."

"Aren't you known as the strongest under Daguba? Why can't you defeat him this time?"

"It's Daguba who's here, but the winner is decided right away~"

...

"Ichima...I am no longer...important...now you are the Flame Dragon!!"

"Protect the village... Protect... Everyone... Protect..."

"Pegasus! Pegasus!!"

...

"Very good! After killing Kamiyama Tenma, as long as we kill Kamiyama Kazuma, the Fire Village will be..."

"Rose?! Wait! What are you doing?! You!!"

...

The swinging fists were restrained by shackles, and the desire to kill was no longer pure.

The feud between Gurongi and the Fire Village?

That’s not important. What’s important is… how long will this battle, the battle between two people, the battle between two races, last?

"Hey."

That was the first question asked by both sides since their first encounter, apart from the simple fighting, without any proactive words.

"What are you fighting for?"

If this question had been asked at the beginning, whether it was Yizhen or Rose Girl, they would have only one answer: a feud that would last for generations and never end until one of them dies.

However, now, when Yizhen asked this question in a confused tone, she was no longer the original Rose Girl and did not give such an answer.

"For Gurongi."

She said this as she struck down the vines, causing a series of explosions.

"What about you? And why?"

The flames all over his body were concentrated in his fist and smashed to the ground. The raging flames spread all around, wildly and violently.

"For responsibility."

After a few simple conversations, both sides resumed the fight, just as before.

But the two people in the battle already had a little understanding of each other.

For Gurongi, but not for himself.

For the sake of responsibility, it is not what I really want.

The hatred between the two people who were pushed to the forefront by the general trend of the times, their personal wills were as small as ants in the hatred accumulated by the generations.

Therefore, although the battle was still going on, the hearts of the two reached a resonance at this moment.

Yizhen/Rose Girl: When will this war end?
How long will this feud last?
Could it be that... in the face of this kind of generational hatred, personal will is really not important at all?

...

"So, you just think too much."

The young man holding a piece of grass in his mouth and leaning against the straw pile said cheerfully: "Where is your cheerfulness before? Now you have a sad face all day long and can't even smile."

"Alas, I told you a long time ago not to attend that selection meeting and to stay as far away from the temple as possible, but you just didn't listen."

Leaping up from the straw pile, the man patted Yizhen on the shoulder and said, "Look at you. We used to mock the previous generation of Yanlong for having a sullen face and looking depressed every day. But now you have become like this, haven't you?"

“…Yanlong should be Pegasus.” Yizhen moved his mouth and said: “I can’t defeat that woman. I let everyone in the village down.”

"Taiyi, do you think I am..."

"Bullshit!" The man named Shenshan Taiyi waved his hand arrogantly: "It was Shenshi's decision to choose you. Aren't you more suitable than those guys who were selected by the clan leader and clan leader to take over the Flame Dragon?"

"Why? The previous generation of Flame Dragon was killed by that woman, but you were able to fight her until now. Aren't you much stronger?"

"Who dares to blame you?! The village chief? The clan leader? Or those elders?"

"They know nothing about Flame Dragon!"

Kamiyama Taichi patted Kazuma on the shoulder and said, "So don't expect too much. You've done well enough."

“…” Yizhen remained silent and did not give any answer.

"Taiyi." After a long silence, Yizhen finally spoke: "I regret not listening to what you said."

Kamiyama Taichi:?
"To become a Flame Dragon means abandoning yourself, abandoning personal emotions, abandoning all ties, becoming a tool of battle, and fighting for justice." Yizhen closed his eyes.

"Is this the Flame Dragon..."

"The...guardian of the Fire Village?"

"At that time, I didn't listen to your advice and didn't participate in the selection because I still had a fantasy of becoming a Flame Dragon."

"And when your fantasy comes true, you must be very happy." Kamiyama Taichi looked at his haggard friend in front of him and said, "So, what about now?"

After a while of silence.

"Taiyi."

Closing his eyes, Yizhen said softly: "If you had participated in that selection, the one who would become the Flame Dragon would definitely be you."

"so…"

He paused.

"I leave my life to you to free."

"Do you regret it?" said Taiyi Kamiyama.

"I don't want to be a fire dragon." Yizhen suddenly opened his eyes.

“I want to be myself.”

"I am Shenshan Yizhen, not Yanlong."

...

"Ahhhhh!!"

He suddenly woke up from his dream with a look of fear and extremely panic in his eyes. He seemed unable to react to what was happening and looked at the wall in front of him in a blank look.

The ticking sound of the clock slowly brought back his sanity.

"Is it a dream..." He murmured softly, and a chest that had been panting heavily gradually calmed down.

He covered his head, feeling a little confused for a moment.

"Kamiyama Ichima..."

"you…"

"who is it?"
