Kamen Rider Date A Live

"but?"

"Hmm, the reverse-body you defeated only had one-third of its original power. Don't underestimate it. It lacked intelligence this time, but it might not be so next time."

"Okay, I understand. But what exactly is a reverse-body? And why does it originate from the same source as my power?"

"...Well, I should tell you something now. Don't interrupt, I'll finish speaking before you ask."

"A reverse-body is the opposite of the one who grants power to us. Apart from their personality, values, and the attributes of the power they receive, they are completely opposite to the original. In other words, they are no different from the original. Furthermore, to truly kill a reverse-body, the original must also make many preparations. With your current abilities, Shido, it's too early to talk about this! But to be honest, I'm also very curious why it's not the power of darkness, but the other side of the power of light... That's all. Ask away."

"So we can't completely defeat the Inverted Ones for now... Let me ask you another question, the other side of the power of light? What does that mean?"

"The Light of Destruction! The other side of the power of light. As its name suggests, it brings only destruction. Indeed, in nature, it is completely opposite to your power of light. Do you have any other questions? Speak them all at once, and I will answer them one by one."

"Oh! Yes, why do you say the inverted body came too early? Why do I always feel strange about my body? Why are you going to other places? And... where exactly is this place?!"

"1. Reverse-body: Except in special cases, it usually appears when the person we give power to grows to a certain level, unless... there is something that frightens him, so it appears earlier."

"2. The reason you feel strange is because the power of light is repairing your body. I have also unlocked the special effects of the light power that we modified, similar to the healing ability of the Kuuga Spirit Stone, which allows your stamina and injuries to recover super quickly. Moreover, your body will become stronger after each injury! Strive to become a main tank! Young man!"

"3. I went to other places because I had a bad feeling, so I asked someone else to make some things. They will be delivered in a day. You'll know when you get there. I also went to another world and made something that will be very useful to you! I'll give it to you in a bit."

"4. This is your mental world. I called you here for a conversation."

"You should get your things now, look at this!"

Then, "You" pulled out a pure white ball of light from who-knows-where, giving Shido a feeling of tranquility.

"This is called 'Source of Life.' Although it's just my own idea, it'll definitely be useful! (Because of that posture...) Here you go!"

The 'Source of Life' was thrown in front of Shido. Before Shido could react, the belt appeared on its own (as expected!) and sucked the 'Source of Life' into its core!

"Ugh... Huh? It doesn't hurt?" Shido was a little confused. Could it be that this kid has changed his gender?

"Of course, um. It's already absorbed. Turn around, I'll take you back." At this moment, Shido, who had turned around, didn't see the glint in "You's" eyes!

"Go!" "You" suddenly threw a punch, sending Shido flying!

"Ah!! — I knew it was a mistake to trust you!"

"Haha ...

—————The Real World————

"Ugh, that jerk! I'm definitely going to punch him next time I see him! ...Huh? Is this...my house? Did Kotori bring me back? Come to think of it, I'm actually feeling much better. At least that jerk wasn't lying about that. Ugh...I'm still a little sleepy, let me check the time. Ugh! It's past 8! I need to get out of bed and cook!"

—————Going downstairs————

"Kotori isn't here. Is she still busy? School will probably be closed today. Let's grab something to eat and go grocery shopping! Bring your headphones just in case. We've run out of eggs and milk, we need to buy some more."

—————On my way to do good deeds————

"Strange? Why am I back here?"

Shido was standing at the school gate, wondering why he had come to school. As soon as he stepped outside, the power of light seemed strange, as if guiding him there. Shido found it odd too, so he followed the guidance of the light and came to his school.

Once the light power within Shido reached him, he remained motionless. However, seeing this, Shido recalled the series of events that had occurred the previous day.

"……road."

The girl with immense power, Tohka Yatogami, seems to remember our encounter yesterday still vividly.

“…Hey…”

The girl always wore the melancholy and indifference towards the world that Shido hated most, which was the thing Shido found most unbearable.

"Hey, Shido!"

Also, what exactly is it that terrifies him about the sudden appearance of the reverse-body? If he's already this strong with only a third of his power, what about at his peak?

"...Don't ignore me!"

"--Well?"

The words came from the farthest point in his line of sight—the opposite side of the no-passage zone—and Shido tilted his head.

A beautiful voice, so cold it seemed to cut through the wind.

I feel like I've heard it somewhere before... To be specific, it's a sound I heard at school yesterday.

...Now, in a place like this, I hear that voice that I should never have heard before.

"Uh, that's—"

While comparing his memory with the voice Fu had just spoken, he focused his gaze in that direction.

Then, Shido remained frozen in place, maintaining his original posture.

Ahead, a young girl dressed in a gown completely out of place on the street stood angrily with her hands clasped in her pockets atop the high pile of rubble.

"Ten, ten incense?"

That's right, if Shido's head and eyes are not mistaken, then this girl is indeed the spirit he met at school yesterday!

"Finally figured it out? You idiot~ Idiot~!"

Her beautiful face, which was almost chilling, was filled with displeasure. With a "thud," the girl stepped off the pile of rubble and landed on the barely intact asphalt road. Then she walked towards Shido.

(Why wasn't a spacequake warning issued?)

"Why are you in a place like this, Tohka?!"

"You ask me why..."

"You were the one who asked me out, weren't you? Yes, you said you wanted to go on a date or something."

"Uh... Ah, Tohka."

"Yeah! Well then, the important thing is to hurry up and go on a date. Date, date, date, date!"

Eyes' Tip

Congratulations to Shido for achieving the 'Source of Life' event! The reward is agitω's new form!

P.S.: How could a mere illness possibly stop me!

The Eighteenth Agreement Reversal and Tohka (4)

The Eighteenth Covenant Reversal and Tohka (*******s: Today is a special day, I'm sick and taking the day off at home)

"Shido! What is this! What is this?! Aa ...

Tohka Yatogami, an elf girl from another world, possesses unparalleled power that can cause terrifying spacequakes. However, right now, Tohka is staring at the soybean flour bread in the bakery with a puppy-like expression, drooling.

So, under the clerk's piercing gaze, Shido pulled out his money, bought two soybean flour breads, and quickly left with Tohka, all the while lamenting inwardly, "My allowance! And why did it have to turn out like this?!"

—————Let's move back a little bit————

"Shido, the important thing is to hurry up and go on a date! Date, date, date, date!"

"I know, I know! You don't need to shout so loudly!" Shido said helplessly. Was he really out buying groceries? Was going on a date really a safe bet now?

"Hmm! By the way, Shido, what does the word 'date' mean?"

"Huh? Oh... Simply put, it means a boy and a girl going out together. (I think that's a fair way to put it, right?)"

"Play? Oh! Shido, let's go play then... Shido? Why are you pulling me?" Tohka, who was excitedly about to run out to play, looked at Shido, who had suddenly grabbed her arm, with a puzzled expression.

"Wait a minute, Tohka! You don't actually want to go out dressed like that, do you?! There'll be big trouble!!"

"You say there's something wrong with my spirit armor? This is my armor, and also my territory! You're not allowed to insult it! But, Shido? Is there something wrong with wearing it like this?"

"There's a problem! Of course there's a problem! If you go out dressed like that, Tohka, AST will be here soon!"

"AST? Does that refer to the robot army? Hmm~ that makes sense, Shido. So what should I wear?"

"Come with me this way first."

"What are you doing, Shido?!"

After Shido pulled Tohka into a secluded alley, he turned to face her.

(Eyes-kun's mental world mini-drama: (Yay!!! A crowd of onlookers appeared out of nowhere.) Suddenly! Shido knocked Tohka unconscious! He stripped off her armor, and at the same time, he reached his wicked hands towards the girl's mysterious garden... Waaaaaah!!! ———)

(Go to hell! As Shido angrily punched "Yu" away, he saw "Yu" flying back at high speed. He suppressed his anger, but before he could speak, "Yu" finished speaking first.)

(The item has been delivered; it's a photo of a girl's uniform, and it's already in your pocket. I'm good at handling things! Don't worry! (What I'm worried about is your personality~) Anyway, everyone! Look forward to the next mini-drama of the spiritual world! Ecchi is with us! (Yay!!! There are still onlookers from who-knows-where.))

(There's going to be a next time?! Seriously! Are you a pervert?!)

"Tohka, um, if you wear this kind of clothes, there shouldn't be any problems."

Shido took out a picture of a girl's uniform from his pocket and showed it to Tohka.

"Okay, I understand. I'll figure out how to make an outfit myself."

After saying these words, she snapped her fingers, and then the dress she was wearing disappeared into thin air from the edge.

At the same time, the surrounding light particles seemed to switch places with her, tightly wrapping around Tohka's body and eventually forming a different style of clothing.

A few seconds later, Tohka, wearing the same Raizen High School uniform as the female student who had just been walking down the street, stood before them.

"Ah... what... what's going on?" Shido stared in astonishment at the scene before him.

"I'll remove the spirit armor and reconstruct a new outfit. Since it's just based on my impression of it, the details might be slightly different. But that should be alright, right?"

With a smug hum, Tohka crossed her arms and said this, but the next moment her true colors were revealed!

"Then, Shido! Let's go on a date!"

"Okay, okay, Tohka! You don't need to shout so loudly!"

—————Time returns to its starting point————

"Shido! What is this?"

"These are xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)."

"Shido! What is this?"

"This is a grilled sausage."

"Shido! What is this?"

"This is a hot dog."

"Shido! What is this?"

"This is……"
