Kamen Rider Date A Live

Origami said softly, "That's right, it's undoubtedly Itsuka Shido as a child. And next to him is a girl with a beauty mark under her eye—no matter how you look at it, it's definitely him."

"What is this?"

"It's an old photo, the only clue to my elder brother who's been separated from me by death."

Please tell me the details.

After Origami finished speaking, Mana scratched her head, seemingly troubled.

"I'm sorry... but I don't remember anything at all."

"...? What happened?"

"No... In fact, I have no memories of the past."

"Memory loss?"

"That's a simple way to understand it, but the moment I saw that image, I remembered something. I used to call that person my elder brother."

"Then why make those conditions in the first place?"

Origami asked in surprise, and Mana lowered her head in embarrassment.

"No... I wanted to see Tobiichi's strength. You're probably the strongest in this unit. To be honest, you've exceeded my expectations."

"........."

Origami stared silently at Mana's face. Despite the overwhelming difference in strength, it was described as "above expectations," leaving her with slightly complicated feelings.

Mana looked up at the origami and continued speaking.

"Um... Tobiichi. I'm sorry, but I also have a request."

"what?"

"Although it might seem a bit selfish, you know about my brother's situation, right? Just to the extent you know, could you tell me?"

"........."

For some reason, I felt like my stance was a bit reversed... After thinking for a while, Origami nodded slightly in agreement.

"...Name, Itsuka Shido. Age...sixteen."

"Ok."

"My family consists of my father, mother, and sister. My parents are currently away on a business trip overseas, so there's no one at home. I can handle all the household chores."

“Hum…”

血型是ao型rh+。身高一七〇·〇cm。体重五十八点五kilo。c坐高九〇·二m、上臂30.2cm,前臂30.2cm。胸围82.2cm腰围70.3cm,臀围87.6cm。”

"……OK?"

“视力右1.5，左1.5，握力右430.5kilo、左410.2kilo。血压128~75.血糖值88mg/dl。尿酸值4.2mg/dl。”

"Stop, stop! I don't want to hear this!"

"Yeah."

Origami nodded slightly in response to Mana's impatient shout.

"Seriously... that's really detailed information. Are you kidding me?"

"This is not a joke; all values ​​are correct."

"…………"

Origami responded with a serious expression, while Mana's face broke out in a sweat and she frowned.

"...Excuse me, but I still want to ask, what exactly is the relationship between Tobiichi and my elder brother?"

In response to Mana's question, Origami answered without any confusion, hesitation, or doubt.

"Lovers."

(No way! By the way, don't make up origami stories!)

"Ah-chi!"

During training, Shido suddenly felt a chill and sneezed.

Eyes' Lecture

Moral integrity is dead; if you need anything, burn paper money for him.

The Forty-Nineth Agreement: The Same Routine as Ever

The Forty-Nineth Agreement: The Same Routine as Always

"Ah—it's finally over! My bones almost fell apart. Senior Yiwen has been so strict lately! Even though it was my fault..."

Unaware of the drastic changes at AST, Shido is still experiencing a bittersweet (only pain, damn it!) experience at the 'villa' today, happily undergoing special training as usual~~ (I'm not happy at all!)

"Well, you'll get used to it. You'll definitely get used to it soon. Keep it up!"

As Hoshino walked towards Shido, she skillfully lifted his half-dead body and placed him on a stool. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, she produced a huge pile of delicious-looking food (Doraemon Hoshino, perhaps?), and while comforting (or was that even comforting...) Shido, she flashed her impressive set of teeth! (Shiny!)

Seeing this, Shido also began to eat and drink without any hesitation. After all, he had just exerted a lot of energy. Senior Evangeline attacked without any mercy, which forced him to use both of his spirit forms. However, Senior Evangeline only used one powerful spell, and he was immediately forced back to his original form. She was too strong!

"How could I possibly get used to it... Although there are many benefits, what I'm seeing is hell... glug glug glug~~"

Shido eats and complains at the same time, and is committed to eliminating food and the environmental spirit of not wasting food!

———Enjoying a delicious meal———

"I'm full! Thank you for the meal!"

Shido ate enough food to feed an ordinary person for three days straight, and his stomach didn't change at all. Maybe when he borrowed Tohka's power, he also absorbed the 'glutton' attribute... (laughs)

"Hehe. Here, have a cup of tea."

Xingye quickly brewed a cup of tea and placed it in front of Shido. The rich aroma of the tea made Shido sniff the air, and he picked up the teacup and drank it.

"By the way, Xingye. How's the matter I asked you to do last time going?"

While savoring the tea ceremony, Shido didn't forget to get down to business, mentioning the things he had asked Hoshino and the others to do in the past.

"That power of the fire spirit... we already know about it, but..."

"But?"

“According to Yiwen, it’s not possible to tell you right now. Besides, Shido, didn’t you also guess at one possibility?”

"…………"

After Xingye finished speaking, Shido fell into an extremely awkward silence, quietly drinking his tea. However, at this moment, Shido's mind was not on the tea at all.

"This is something only Shido can figure out. None of us can get involved. Take your time thinking about it. The answer will definitely come when the time is right."

"………Um."

"Oh, right, Jian has something else to tell you. The motorcycle you left with him has been modified. When you use the spirit form, the motorcycle will also change, which will be very useful to you. Now I won't bother you anymore. Think about it by yourself."

After finishing her speech, Xingye tidied up the trash and headed towards Yiwen's location. However, her eyes held a great deal of helplessness.

To seal the spirit's power, one must have a certain level of affection with the spirit. However, due to his ignorance, Key revealed that the sealing of that fiery spirit's power occurred 5 years ago... Sigh—(referring to real-world time; he's been staying in the 'villa' for almost four or five years now.)

"Sigh... what should I do...?"

———The Real World—

"Hmm? Shido, you're out early today. Is lunch ready?"

Looking back, I saw a girl with long hair tied in two black ribbons, wearing a uniform, standing there with her hands on her hips.

Shido's younger sister, Kotori Itsuka - Commander Mode (Sadist Mode).

"Hmm, it was a little faster today. Oh, here's your lunch, Kotori."

"Yes, Shido. Oh, right, we have guests."

Qin accepted the lunchbox without changing her expression, and pointed to the door with her finger.

"guest?"

I don't understand. But this can't go on like this, so Shido opened the door and went outside.

The sunlight that instantly made Shido's retinas dizzy was hit.

"Um……"

Today is June 5th. It should be the rainy season by now, but for some reason, the sky here is clear and sunny lately. — It's as if the heavens used up all the rain last month. (No, no, no, it's definitely a side effect of Yoshino's ability.)

Unlike previous years, there were no clouds to block the sun, and the intense sunlight beat down directly on the ground, causing the temperature to rise. Unable to bear the heat, Shido changed out of his uniform into summer clothes today.

Just then.

"Huh...?"

Upon seeing the figure standing in front of Wuhe's house in the sunlight, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

There was a girl there who looked to be about the same age as Kotori.

She wore a cool dress and a white straw hat that seemed to cover her eyes. Her blue hair, as blue as the sea, peeked out from under the brim, and her sapphire-blue eyes kept glancing in Shido's direction.

Moreover, what is even more distinctive is that on the left hand, for some reason, there is a comically designed rabbit.

"Yoshino!?"

Of course, he couldn't forget the name of such a unique girl. Shido opened the door and walked to Yoshino's side.

"Ya-ha—, Shido-kun. It's been a long time—"

At that moment, the rabbit doll in Yoshino's left hand began to speak, opening and closing its mouth.

"Oh, oh, it's been a long time! Yoshina."

She nodded slightly and replied to the doll. The doll's name was 'Yoshino,' and it was Yoshino's friend.

This doll is just an ordinary doll, and the voice is undoubtedly from ventriloquism. However, when Yoshino puts this on, a second personality called 'Yoshino' will be created in her consciousness.

The key point is that the doll's actions and lines are unrelated to Yoshino's will.

"Is there anything I can help you with today? Has the check-up finished?"

"Good morning, Mr. Shido!"

"Hmm... The check-up is over, but I came here to ask Nanoha and the others to show Yoshino around. After all, Yoshino is still the same as always, except for Shido and the others."
