Two days later

As the newly appointed commander-in-chief of Shibuya Ward, he resolved a major incident that could have affected the entire city of Tokyo with "very few casualties".

Yuma quickly gained fame within ZECT.

At this moment, he was in his private office, dealing with a large amount of tedious work accumulated by his predecessor.

"Knock knock".

The knocking stopped Yu-ma from his work. Without looking up, he called out to the door.

As soon as Xiaoxu opened the door, she saw Youzhen working hard. She gently closed the door and placed the rice balls she was carrying on the table.

Then she sat quietly on the office sofa, patiently waiting for Yuma to finish her work.

By the time Youzhen finished what she was doing, Xiaoxu was already sitting on the sofa, head tilted to one side, asleep.

"call……"

He exhaled, carefully got up, picked up Xiao Xu, and placed her on the simple folding bed in the office.

Since the end of the last battle, he went straight to the Shibuya branch to deal with the many problems left over from the previous administration.

This busy schedule lasts all day, and he even sleeps in this small office.

Fortunately, he is not human, and his physical functions are sufficient to support him to finish all his work.

Looking at the sleeping Xiao Xu, Youzhen reached out and gently stroked her face.

"Well……"

Even such a slight movement startled Xiao Xu awake.

She rubbed her eyes and buried her face in Yuzhen's arms.

Yuzhen patted her on the back: "Sorry, I just got a promotion and a raise, so my boss is definitely going to squeeze me dry."

Xiao Xu didn't say anything, and after staying in Youzhen's arms for a moment, she broke free.

She took the rice ball from the table and handed it to Yuuma.

"Eat quickly, I specially packed it in an insulated container."

Seeing Yuzhen's dark circles, she touched Yuzhen's face with a touch of heartache.

"It's okay. The sooner we finish dealing with all the things piling up here, the sooner we can rest."

Yuzhen opened the insulated box and stuffed the rice ball into her mouth.

"This taste!"

His eyes lit up as he looked at Xiao Xu.

"It wasn't just me who did it; it was everyone who did it for you."

Seeing Yuzhen chewing heartily, Xiaoxu explained.

Everyone felt sorry for Youzhen, who had been missing for a whole day, so they specially made rice balls and asked Xiaoxu to bring them over in the morning.

Yuma quickly stuffed the second rice ball into her mouth. This one was made by Tendou!

He quickly devoured all the rice balls and comfortably squinted his eyes.

Delicious food truly is a healing balm for the soul.

Seeing Youzhen's expression, Xiaoxu knew he was very satisfied, so she smiled and raised her eyebrows.

"That was just the last bit of work left. My seclusion is over. For the next while, I can spend some time with you. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Yuzhen hugged Xiaoxu, and the two sat on the edge of the frame bed.

During this period, due to being too busy with various matters, the two did not have much contact.

"Having Xiaoyou by my side is already a very happy thing."

Xiao Xu smiled, took out the letter of appointment from her pocket, and placed it in Youzhen's hand.

"You left some things behind last time, so I brought them over for you today."

"It's my appointment letter! I was in such a rush last time that I probably forgot about it."

Yuzhen opened the appointment letter and saw that yellowed old photo again.

"Is this a photo of Yuma when she was little?"

Just as Yuzhen was about to close the book, Xiaoxu stopped her.

He heard Xiao Xu's words and didn't know how to respond.

Could he really say that, until now, he didn't even know his own identity?

He might be someone who shouldn't exist in this world.

This photo is not strong proof of his identity, but rather it drags him into an even deeper quagmire.

So far, all his actions have been based on his known memories.

"Xiaoyou, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Youzhen was in a daze, Xiaoxu reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"Hmm...it's nothing. It's just that this photo brought back some bad memories."

Yuma forced a smile, trying to gloss over the matter.

"I've told Xiaoyou everything about myself, so... Xiaoyou, can you tell me your story?"

Faced with Xiao Xu's sincere question, Youzhen was at a loss for words.

"I can tell that Xiaoyou has always been confused, even though she always talks about what she wants to do and what kind of dreams she has."

"But in reality, Xiaoyou had no idea what she wanted to do. She was just following along with everyone else."

"Is it right?"

Xiao Xu smiled and looked at You Zhen. Faced with Xiao Xu's question, You Zhen remained silent.

Yes, he has always been confused.

When he first discovered that he had traveled through time, he was excited and wanted to see the legendary Kamen Riders.

But then, after discovering their alien identity, they felt bewilderment, pain, and a strong desire to live.

Later, it was the tolerance of Heaven, the further development of his relationship with Xiao Xu, and the positive spirit of Kagami and others that allowed him to remain stable in this world.

Instead of drifting through this world like an ethereal being, only to eventually fall into the clutches of the alien insects.

He has always been a grateful person, perhaps because of the regret he felt while watching the show, or perhaps because of his continuous contact with these people.

So he finally came up with an idea: to change the tragedy of the original play so that people who were not supposed to survive could live on!

This is also the driving force behind his efforts to this day.

But what will he do when everyone's fate is changed?

He seemed never to have thought about this question, simply moving forward step by step until utter destruction.

"Xiao You, people live for themselves."

Xiao Xu's hand brushed across the photo, and the image of the white angel in her memory overlapped with Youzhen's face.

"Please remember, Xiaoyou is a living, breathing person, so you should have your own desires."

My own desires...?

Yuma was stunned.

"Tiandao and the others have always been steadfast in their path, but Xiaoyou, your path has always been uncertain."

Xiao Xu frowned; she found Youzhen's elusive nature perplexing.

This feeling didn't subside much until Yuma joined ZECT.

Why? Why can't he be sure of his path?

Yuuma knew why, of course; it was a question he had never dared to confront.

That is, who exactly is he?

His memories were chaotic, which made his actions almost bizarre, as he was constantly pulled in different directions by the memories in his mind.

"Ah-Xu, my story is very complicated."

"Perhaps I can't tell you right now, because I don't know either."

Yuzhen gently stroked Xiaoxu's soft hair and explained in a soft voice.

"Please wait a little longer. When I understand, I will tell you the whole story."

"This is our second agreement."

Yu-chan's face hardened considerably; he realized he could no longer run away.

At the very least, he needs to understand who he really is. He wants to be free from the constraints of the memories in his mind and truly live for himself for once.
