Kamen Rider: Evolution

"How did I end up back here again?"

Kagami looked at the familiar sign and gave a bitter smile. He had been fired and couldn't stay even if he wanted to.

"Because this is not just a place to work."

Jiang Xia opened the door, looked at Kagami standing outside the door in disappointment and said, "Come in."

"I see, I understand now."

Jiang Xia sat in the chair, patiently listening to Kagami recount his life journey.

Kagami was not depressed because the operation failed.

On the contrary, his desire to kill the Zerg had not changed at all; he was just confused about his own weakness, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

The failure to be selected as a knight and witnessing firsthand how the Zerg wiped out an elite squad plunged Kagami into a slump.

Jiang Xia stood up and handed the mop that was placed in the store to Kagami.

"Jiang Xia, what's this?"

“Instead of thinking so much, why not try doing something small first? You will naturally come here because your consciousness tells you that there is something here that can solve your confusion.”

"So, go back to your old profession now," Jiang Xia said, leaning against the wall.

"suffer?"

"Change your clothes, then go mop the floor. I can tell the boss to let you come back and continue working here until you don't want to anymore."

"Oh."

Kagami changed her clothes skillfully and then began to carefully clean the store.

"Put the stools in place, the guests will be arriving soon."

Jiang Xia looked at Kagami and said loudly.

"Yes."

"Kagami, you're back."

As Kusakabe Hiroshi came down the stairs, he saw Jiang Xia with a stern face and Kagami, who was being ordered around in circles.

"Xiao Xi, go make Kagami a miso mackerel dish. He's working here again now, so he's eligible for the staff meals," Jiang Xia said.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

"really?"

When Kagami heard that Xiaoxi was willing to make him miso mackerel, he suddenly seemed to come alive, and then his familiar silly smile appeared on his face.

"I guessed right, the answer is miso mackerel."

Jiang Xia looked into Kagami's heart. The moment she heard Xiao Xi agree, Kagami's confusion and disappointment were completely replaced by excitement.

Although he's not like Tendou Souji, a protagonist who starts at max level, Kagami, the future war god Goto, is growing at an astonishing rate.

"It's so delicious."

Kagami's eyes widened, revealing an unimaginable surprise.

Kagami finished the last bite and smiled contentedly: "Thank you, Xiaoxi."

"I want to give you the best mackerel as a gift," Kagami said excitedly.

“No, thank you, Jiang Xia.” Kusakabe Hiroshi said, glancing at Jiang Xia.

"Search for the best mackerel, Kagami, and Saru restaurant."

"If you want to thank me and Xiaoxi, buy the extra-large Matsunaga mackerel. It's the best mackerel you can buy right now."

Having received the answer, Jiang Xia spoke to Kagami, who had a bright smile on her face.

"That's right, it's a top-quality fish, known as the golden mackerel."

Another voice suddenly came from inside the restaurant. Kagami stood up in confusion, "Tendou?"

Tendou Souji nodded to Jiang Xia, which was his way of greeting him.

Just as Tiandao was about to say something, Jiang Xia spoke up first:

"The last one has already been eaten by Kagami, there are none left."

"I see."

Tendou pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Kagami.

Although one was standing and the other was sitting, the aura of the seated Tiandao was far stronger than that of Kagami, who was standing in front of him.

"Give me one too, Kagami, as compensation for eating my miso mackerel."

"Why would I give it to you? I would only give it to Xiaoxi." Kagami turned her head and whispered.

"However, I wonder how the search for the alien insects is going with Mr. Tadokoro."

Kagami looked at the mop in his hand, his thoughts drifting back to last night. The feeling of helplessness in the face of the alien insects still left a trace in his heart.

The same thing had happened in front of him two years ago, which made him unable to help but show a hateful look in his eyes.

He gripped the mop tightly with both hands, as if he were treating the trash on the floor as some kind of alien insect, and began to scrub it rapidly.

"One day I will wipe out all the Zerg."

"So that's how it is. You have a grudge against the Zerg."

Kagami, lost in her memories, suddenly stood up straight.

"Heavenly Dao, you haven't left yet?"

"So that's why you joined ZECT."

Tiandao glanced at it. He already knew the information about the alien insects. He just wanted to have breakfast. Since there wasn't any, he would choose something else.

When Tiandao withdrew his gaze, he suddenly noticed a rather attractive breakfast on the previously clean table.

He looked up along the hand that held the plate and saw Jiang Xia dressed in a chef's uniform.

“This must be your favorite breakfast on the menu,” Jiang Xia said.

"you?"

Tendou Souji looked astonished; he felt as if he had been seen through.

It's not just a matter of habit; there must be something deeper involved.

"Eat quickly."

Jiang Xia went back to the kitchen and cleaned it. She rubbed the cold stone slab of the stove with a clean white towel, and the stove was quickly cleaned.

Jiang Xia looked at Kagami, who was still diligently mopping the floor, and couldn't help but sigh. How long was he going to keep cleaning here?

"Kagami, you are no longer needed here. Go where you are truly needed."

Jiang Xia, after putting everything back in its place, looked at Kagami, who was still mopping the floor, and said...

"Why did you come back, and why are you cleaning here?"

Hearing Jiang Xia's words and the look in his eyes, Kagami seemed to understand something. He quickly tore off his apron and rushed out.

"She only takes the next step when someone reminds her," Jiang Xia said helplessly, watching Kagami's actions.

Kagami's true job is not here; he is a soldier.

His goal is to kill the Zerg, not to waste time here.

Even though there's likely another alien insect active outside, Kagami is mopping the floor here.

Even though I've already taken the antidote, I still need some guidance.

This restaurant is a place for rest and dispelling confusion, not a refuge from everything.

"Mr. Tadokoro, I've come to your aid," Kagami said to Tadokoro Shuichi.

Shuichi Tadokoro looked Kagami over again, his gaze resolute.

That depressed mood completely disappeared. Did you figure it out in such a short time?

“Alright, you’re in charge of investigating the other one,” Tadokoro Shuichi commanded in a low, serious tone. “Just in case, I’m giving this to you.”

"Thank you, Mr. Tadokoro." Kagami took the pistol with both hands, tucked it into his waistband, and said earnestly.

"Yuki Tamai, 20 years old, was arrested for allegedly murdering a police officer, but there is another Yuki Tamai on the run. One of them is an alien insect."

Looking at the documents in her hand, Misaki Yuzuki voluntarily walked into the detention center.

Although the organization had the capability to forcibly remove prisoners, the organization's name could not be abused, so she chose to enter the detention center to observe.

The method to get in is simple: just deliberately get yourself detained by doing something slightly outrageous, and then call the police.

Given what she's doing now, she'll only be locked up for a few days at most before being released.

"Who exactly is he?"

She hasn't been here long, but she already knows me and is very familiar with my daily routine and recipes.

He has even read the complete Heavenly Dao sayings, and he is so good to the tree flower. What is his identity?

The current Tendou Souji has not yet obtained the Hyperion, lacks the tacit understanding with his future self, and has received no hints.

He had only just come into contact with creatures like the Zerg, and knew nothing about the truth; he had never even seen any of the other knights.

In his mind, no one in the world could evolve faster than him.

However, Tendou Souji is now facing a problem in determining a person's specific identity.

Clearly, although Tendou Souji is at the maximum level, he still has a long way to go to surpass Jiang Xia, who possesses knowledge of the entire Earth.

As for Jiang Xia, he was simply recuperating from his injuries. For his personal safety and to have a stable life near Shibuya in the future, he had no choice but to start raising the next generation to fight against the Zerg.

Tendou Souji doesn't need many words; just guide him to investigate on his own. Kagami is the one who gives Jiang Xia a headache.

Tendou Souji lay on the sofa, carefully recalling every interaction with Jiang Xia. The more he recalled, the deeper his doubts became.

If before I only felt he was a formidable opponent, now I'm starting to doubt his existence.
