Kamen Rider Date A Live

She looked up in surprise. ...But the first thing she saw was the face she least wanted to see, but the face she saw on the other side surprised her even more.

"Origami Tobiichi!? And another one is... Shiori!? Is everything alright now!?"

"...Tohka Yatogami...she is..."

"Tohka!? Origami!?"

Now, Origami also noticed who was opposite her. As Tohka called out, she said with a hint of disgust.

However, the moment Origami turned her head and saw Shiori, her eyes flashed with a terrifying light. She quickly took out a camera that seemed to be in her bag and took a 360-degree full-body photo of Shiori, completely ignoring the horrified looks from the people around her. She started taking pictures on her own, muttering to herself as she did so.

"Why? Although she looks almost exactly like Shido, she's definitely not Shido. But why does she make me feel so... Shiori, can you lift your skirt so I can take a picture?"

Even so, Origami was already reaching into Shiori's secret garden, but Shiori remained unmoved, saying "Go ahead!"? Shiori! What's wrong with you!

When Origami heard Shiori say that, a lewd smile appeared on her expressionless face. If Origami had a lollipop in her hand at that moment, she would look like a creepy old man.

Although Origami is female, with her ample bosom ("How can one rule the world without a flat chest?"), a little makeup, and dressed in men's clothing, probably no one would mistake her for a woman. And considering Origami's personality... it would be truly unbelievable if she weren't a creepy uncle!

As we were talking, Origami had already reached her hand to the hem of her skirt, seemingly intending to lift it up. The surrounding onlookers were already stunned; the shy ones blushed and slipped away, while the more shameless ones stared wide-eyed, covering their noses, watching the beautiful scene with anticipation.

Oh right, there's one more person I forgot to mention, Tohka. At this moment, Tohka was completely stunned, her eyes wide open, staring straight ahead, completely motionless.

When Origami grasped Shiori's skirt, the lewd expression on her face disappeared, and instead transformed into an expression that felt extremely sacred!

However, after Origami flipped open Shiori's skirt with an extremely sacred expression (mysterious voice: no matter how sacred, she's still a pervert!), she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood! The expectant onlookers around her also vomited blood one after another, covered their eyes and rolled on the ground while saying.

"Why, why?!!"

"So that's how it is... Pfft!!"

"My 24k pure gold dog eyes!!"

…………

The protests from the onlookers were completely irrelevant to Shiori, who was watching with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, tightly clutching the origami on her skirt.

At this moment, Origami was tightly clutching Shiori's skirt, and red liquid was oozing from her eyes and mouth, making her look extremely pitiful. Anyone who saw her would feel heartbroken.

However, this is on the premise that you can ignore the presence of a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of mineral water not far from the origami... But, the most important point is... Origami, could you please change your expression a little bit?! A blank, emotionless face ruins the whole atmosphere!

However, there's a reason why so many people at the scene would react this way. Because…

Shiori was wearing safety shorts at that moment!

Okay! You just said and did things that made us all have such wild imaginations, but it turns out you were wearing safety shorts!! This is really embarrassing!! Give us back our innocence!!!

Although Origami was tightly gripping Shiori's skirt, one of her hands was reaching towards her safety shorts...

However, Shiori and Origami in her own world didn't spend their time together for nothing. The moment Origami got so close, Shiori roughly guessed what Origami was going to do. The instant Origami did that, Shiori swiftly kicked Origami away, and the direction Origami flew was towards Tohka.

When Tohka saw Origami flying towards her, she instinctively threw a punch in retaliation. However, in this state, Origami actually managed to hit Tohka's fist with her own, causing her to gradually stop spinning and land gracefully on the ground.

The first thing Origami did after landing was to ask Tohka.

"Why are you in a place like this? And who is Shiori?"

"Those were my lines! What are you doing here! And who's going to answer the questions that follow?! You did that to Shiori just now!"

“I have no obligation to tell you. But since you refuse to tell me, I will find out myself. I never had any confidence in you in the first place.”

"Varied--"

Just as she was about to retort, Tohka suddenly changed her mind; now was not the time to argue with Origami.

"...Well...I'll settle this score next time. I'm busy right now. I don't have time for you."

"Yes. I'm very busy right now."

"Hmph! Judging from what they were doing just now, they must have been doing something shady..."

"We must find true Shido."

"……what?"

The name and noun that Origami uttered made Tohka frown.

"Wait a minute, do you mean there's another Shido you're dating?"

"'Also'? So, Tohka Yatogami, you're also on a date with a fake Shido?"

"Although I wanted to say that I was on a date with the real Shido... but Tobiichi, you're right, I'm also on a date with the fake Shido. The real Shido is dealing with Kurumi's matter. If you try to stop him, I won't let you succeed."

"Is that so? But since you, me, and Shiori all collided in order to find the real Shido. Although I don't know what the relationship is between Shiori and Shido, I always have a strange sense of familiarity with them. That's why I'm guessing, right, Shiori?"

Origami turned her head to look at Shiori, and Shiori nodded and said,

“That’s right, Shido and I do have a very special relationship, but the reason I’m here now is not because I’m worried about Shido, but because I had a bad feeling after Shido left, and that feeling led me here.”

Shiori, holding her Millennium Puzzle necklace, explained to Origami and Tohka.

"this is--"

Before Origami could finish speaking, a sudden, strange sensation washed over her, and then Shiori and the other two vanished from the spot. However, no one in the street noticed their sudden disappearance…

Ninety-first nightmare

Ninety-first nightmare

—This is the dividing line back to the Eighty-Nine Agreement—

"Haa...haa...haa..."

Exhausted from the exhaustion that consumed him, Shido finally arrived at the park bench where he had parted ways with Kurumi.

Although there wasn't a long distance between them, Shido No. 2 always held a great deal of wariness towards Kurumi. After spending more than five hours with Kurumi in this state of mind, his mind and body were probably reaching their limits.

At this moment, Shido No. 2 frowned as he wiped the sweat from his brow with his shirt sleeve.

"Ah?"

"What's wrong, Number Two?"

"Uh... Kurumi is missing."

Yes, Kurumi wasn't on that bench.

"Huh? Wait a minute... Photography class, what's Kurumi's situation?"

"Commander, the video feed suddenly cut out. There must be something wrong with the camera..."

"...What happened?"

—At that moment, the instant Kotori finished speaking.

"Commander! A faint spiritual wave response has been detected nearby...!"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like another crew member came through the earpiece.

"where?"

"In the alley near the east exit of the park! This reaction—there's no mistake! It's Tokisaki Kurumi!!"

"...!?"

Shido No. 2's shoulders jerked, and he abruptly raised his head, looking towards the east exit of the park.

"Tch! Even the most meticulous plans can have oversights... But something must have happened over there, Number Two, shall we go check it out?"

"...Understood, Kotori. But if anything happens to me—or if my communicator is destroyed—Lima, go and call my main body over. This might be my last trip."

"...Is that so...Let's try our best to survive..."

"Ah... thank you, Kotori."

As he finished speaking, Shido No. 2 began to cross the park.

Following the guidance, I walked past the vending machine and into the narrow alley.

then.

"--this!?"

The moment of arrival at the destination.

Shido No. 2 stared wide-eyed, standing motionless in place.

Because what comes into view is a crimson color that obscures the field of vision.

The green and brown trees and the ground were covered with large amounts of red.

At the same time, three distorted objects floated up like small islands.

Upon seeing this unusual scene, Shido No. 2 immediately understood the situation.

No, not just for a moment, but after Shido No. 2 smelled a scent, he became even more certain of what it was.

But as that speculation gradually took shape, Shido No. 2's paper brain began to refuse to understand the situation.

Because I simply couldn't believe it.

On streets like this, in everyday life like this.

—There were humans, and they died.

"Ugh—whoaaaaaaah!?"

Finally, reality overcame the brain's rejection, and Shido No. 2 let out a mournful cry.

"Number Two! Calm down! Number Two!"

Kotori's voice vibrated his eardrums, but Shido No. 2 was completely shocked by the scene he was seeing.

Because this is exactly the same as the original body's memories of hunting ferocious beasts. Although it is the same death and the same shedding of crimson blood, in the original body's memories, the original body has never been as unable to bear this scene as he is now.

However, as a perfect copy of the original, I possess the same level of endurance. Even though I had seen this in a video a few days ago, the sense of reality was completely different from what I had seen on screen. It was a feeling that couldn't be described in words, but one thing was certain: I was afraid and terrified.

The moment his mind realized this situation, the stench of decay wafting around him assaulted his nostrils, and Shido No. 2 involuntarily felt nauseous. However, since he had just gone to the toilet, the nausea wasn't particularly strong, but Shido No. 2 still covered his mouth.

"Well……"

"Huh?"

My gaze shifted upwards at the sound. In the center of that crimson, deep sea of ​​blood, Kurumi stood.

"Shido-kun, have you arrived yet?"

Kurumi, dressed in a red and black spirit dress, turned to Shido and spoke. In her left hand, she held an antique-style short gun, most likely Kurumi's 'Angel,' which was decorated with intricate details.
