Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

While the teppanyaki restaurant was undergoing a major renovation, on the other side of Tokyo, two brothers were hiding under a bridge, slurping down instant noodles.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same. Compared to the wealthy Yu-chan and his friends, these two brothers are living a much more miserable life.

"Big brother, I want to eat seafood, I want to eat teppanyaki, I want to drink coffee..."

After finishing the ramen soup in his bowl, Kageyama looked at Yaguruma with a bitter expression.

Yagura sat cross-legged on the ground with a calm expression, like a master.

"Kageyama, this is a kind of spiritual practice. We must dare to face the hellish nature of life in order to gain some enlightenment from it."

Looking at his elder brother's compassionate face, Kageyama's expression grew increasingly pained.

He didn't want to undergo such spiritual practice; all he wanted to do now was have a good meal.

No one told him that living with his older brother would mean living this kind of life!

For the past few days, Kageyama hasn't had a decent meal; he's been eating either instant noodles or dry bread every day.

This food was bought by Yagura when he was doing odd jobs with her.

Recalling his experience of being verbally abused while doing odd jobs, Kageyama's face scrunched up even more. He never imagined that he would be verbally abused for something like this.

He never expected that there would be so many people who were even worse and more unreasonable than he had been before.

He never expected that, faced with such a situation, he, a casual laborer, would be unable to fight back or argue with the customer.

Otherwise, a portion of their already meager salary will be deducted.

After finally earning a little money, as Kamen Riders, they also have to fight the Worms and protect those who insulted them.

"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come."

Kageyama muttered something under his breath and slowly lay down against the stone pillar in the bridge arch.

The outside world was too harsh, which made Kageyama melancholy.

Yaguruma Mikageyama lay down, lowered his head slightly, and saw the bowl in his hand that had been eaten clean, feeling somewhat helpless.

It wasn't that he wanted to live that kind of life, but rather that their current identities were both very sensitive.

If Yuuma were still in ZECT, the other party could use Yuuma's help to assist them.

However, since Yuma left ZECT, the surveillance in Tokyo has become increasingly intense, to the point that they simply cannot stay in one place for an extended period of time.

Otherwise, they will surely suffer a fatal blow from ZECT.

Without a doubt, Yagura knew that the Worms wanted to reclaim the Kamen Rider System and, while annihilating the Worms, were planning to use the Kamen Rider System to rule the world.

This also made Yagura realize one thing: ZECT has now become a one-man show for hawkish protozoa, and Kagami Riku is probably in trouble himself now.

How can he take care of a child in such an environment?

Looking at Kageyama lying there motionless, Yaguruma was even more worried. How could he not know how uncomfortable Kageyama was?

After all, nobody wants to eat bread and instant noodles every day.

If he hadn't been comforting Kageyama, he would have thrown the instant noodle box away long ago!

Thinking back to his time at ZECT, he was so imposing. His daily meals weren't exactly good, but they weren't this bad either!

"Brother, let's go back tomorrow, back to Shibuya."

Yaguruma thought for a moment and then spoke to Kageyama.

"Really?!"

A glint suddenly appeared in Kageyama Shizuo's eyes as he propped himself up and looked at Yaguruma.

"Then I want to go to Sal to eat mackerel!"

Kageyama held up one finger in front of his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then added two more fingers.

"Eat three!"

Seeing Kageyama's adorable appearance, Yaguruma couldn't help but ruffle his hair.

"Any number is fine. If I can't afford it, I'll just work at their store to pay off the debt."

"I believe they definitely won't refuse us..."

Yaguruma was a little unsure, but he still assured Kageyama.

This child has suffered so much; he deserves more encouragement.

Hearing Yaguruma's assurance, Kageyama's eyes lit up.

Before he left ZECT, after acquiring the Royal Bee Transformer, he always felt that he was the best in the world and could do anything.

However, after being repeatedly tortured by Tiandao and his group, and suffering from the pain of working odd jobs during this period, Kageyama gradually realized that he was not the number one in the world.

Those conflicts with Tiandao and the others gradually dissolved amidst the warmth and coldness of human relationships, becoming insignificant matters in his heart.

His previous jealousy and envy now seem petty to him.

Seeing the changes in Kageyama, Yaguruma felt that his teaching during this period had been effective.

In reality, Kageyama was simply lacking love. After Yaguruma pieced that piece of his heart back together, his rather wicked personality traits gradually began to change.

"Big brother, if possible, I'd like to eat more than just mackerel, I'd like to eat something else, like ice cream or something..."

With his older brother's assurance, the child wanted more, and he looked at the corn stalk pitifully.

"Eat, eat it all!"

Yaguruma's icy expression melted, revealing a triumphant smile as he gave Kageyama's head a thorough pat.

"When we get back, I'll make up for everything you've missed during this time!"

Looking at Kageyama now, Yaguruma realized just how harmful his previous concept of perfect harmony had been.

Humans cannot be like bees, always maintaining unity and solidarity.

Humans have desires and their own emotions and urges; only with these can one be a complete person.

Just like him now, he feels that he is truly living in this world now.

Love can always produce unexpected miracles, thus quietly changing a person.

"Thank you, brother!"

Looking at the person in front of him, Kageyama felt that it was good not to be abandoned.

Although their lives are very difficult now, the thought that someone will always be by his side makes him feel that he can keep going.

"Brother Yagura, you'll always be by my side, right?"

Kageyama asked Yagura with a smile.

When Yagura heard him say this, he knew that he was somewhat anxious and uncertain.

Whenever Kageyama felt happiest, he would ask Yaguruma this question.

This is a psychological shadow that will haunt him for life, and it can only be gradually healed through long-term treatment.

As Yaguruma recalled the information in Kageyama's file, his eyes darkened.

Kageyama was abandoned by her parents who believed in the survival of the fittest.

Ironically, those who believed in the survival of the fittest encountered the alien insects the moment they abandoned Kageyama.

And the ending of the story wasn't particularly praiseworthy either.

After killing Kageyama's parents, the Zerg were killed by the arriving Ant Soldiers.

Kageyama was taken back to ZECT, where his personality became even more twisted and inhuman under cruel and distorted training.

Fortunately, Yagura pulled the child back from the brink of disaster in time.

After ruffling the child's hair again, Yagura prepared to leave with the child.

They're not really suited to go back to Shibuya in their current state. They should at least tidy themselves up before seeing their old friends.

"What a pair of brothers with a deep bond."

The sudden applause made the two people who were about to leave freeze.
