Kamen Rider: Evolution

Or rather, he was afraid.

A mix of emotions swirled within him: hatred for his parents' murder and joy at knowing that his blood relatives were still alive.

The reason for becoming a knight, how to face Kusakabe Hiroshi, and the reaction of his younger sister after she learns the truth.

Faced with this unknown future, he hesitated, but in that instant, Jiang Xia detonated all of these things.

Tendou Souji knew that Jiang Xia knew a lot about his family, and he even suspected that Jiang Xia might be another relative of his grandmother.

But now he understood that this guy was after him.

Or perhaps they came because of the bond between the siblings.

But he's not ready to face it now. Perhaps when the time is right, he'll tell Xiaoxi the truth.

However, he himself did not know when the time would be right.

It's possible that this secret might be taken to the grave.

As Jiangxia continued forward, determined to uncover the truth.

The Heavenly Dao Chieftain roared, "Absolutely not! Absolutely not now!"

Seeing Tendou Souji's complete emotional collapse and loss of all self-confidence, Jiang Xia slowly spoke:

"Didn't Grandma say that people become weak because they love others?"

However, this is not something to be ashamed of, because it is not true weakness.

Jiang Xia stopped walking forward and gently patted Tiandao Zongsi on the shoulder.

"I am also very familiar with Grandma Tiandao's quotes."

"You should always be confident, shouldn't you?"

Jiang Xia took a few steps back. "You are the Chief of the Heavenly Way, who governs everything."

"That's right, I am someone who follows the way of Heaven."

Tendou Souji gradually calmed down. These were words he knew all too well, and they held immense power for him.

He used to use these words to comfort others, but he never expected that Jiang Xia would use them to comfort him today.

Bright light slowly shone on Tendou Souji, and his chest rose and fell gently.

However, he had calmed down and seemed to have returned to the calm and elegant Tendou Souji.

They parted ways, and Jiang Xia even had time to straighten his clothes, which had been wrinkled by the immense power of the Heavenly Dao General.

Their grip strength is so great, it's almost beyond human capabilities.

I almost ruined his clothes; they were very expensive.

He has already poured all of the shop manager's salary into developing the Hundred Insect Sword.

If his clothes are torn again, it means he has lost that outfit forever.

Moreover, for him, who was already in dire financial straits, clothes were really expensive.

"I really want to punch you hard."

Tendou Souji clenched his fists and looked at the smiling Jiang Xia in front of him.

This might be the first time he's ever wanted to hit someone so much; it's unprecedented in his life.

Even Kagami had never excited him like this.

“When you want to hit me, I will definitely not fight back,” Jiang Xia said.

"Wait, what's going on?"

Kagami listened with a puzzled expression, but he didn't understand at all.

Why was the Heavenly Dao so agitated? I don't understand what they were talking about.

Why does the Heavenly Dao look like it wants to kill, while Jiang Xia just stands there without resisting at all?

Furthermore, when did Kabuto kill Hee's parents?

Seven years ago, they were both children. Did they have belts back then?

Kagami, who was already confused, was overwhelmed by all the jumbled information at once, and her brain was a bit overloaded.

"It's better to resolve some psychological traumas sooner rather than later. Perhaps you didn't have a solution at the time, so you chose to remain silent."

But now that you have the ability to solve problems, you shouldn't run away from them anymore.

Looking at Tendo Souji, who was walking towards Kusakabe Hiroshi, Jiang Xia spoke slowly.

"Don't you have any ideas?" Jiang Xia asked, looking at Kagami who was in a daze.

"..."

Well, this poor kid doesn't understand a word I'm saying.

The steel bucket has been developed, and the wasps should leave now.

Jiang Xia glanced at the wasp bracelet on Kagami's right wrist and sighed softly.

Given Kagami's father's methods, he'll probably arrange something; Wasp is destined not to stay by Kagami's side.

Chapter 209 My Younger Sister

Minato Ward in Tokyo is not far from the coastline, and you can faintly hear the sound of the tides on the shore.

The Eiffel Tower stands tall in the sunlight, as if it has been painted with a layer of gold paint, silently supporting the sky.

Tokyo Tower.

The tower's height and shape give the impression of soaring into the sky, as if it's about to pierce the clouds. Looking up from directly below, it resembles the skeleton of a giant steel beast.

"Welcome, Sister Xiaoxi, and Your Majesty, please come in."

The Heavenly Tree Flower opened its eyes wide, its pupils sparkling with excitement.

His lips unconsciously turned up, revealing a bright smile.

A cute blush rose on her slightly chubby cheeks.

"Hey, breakfast is almost ready, just wait a moment."

Tendou Souji, dressed in gray loungewear, stood on the steps and greeted them.

"Sorry to bother you," Kusakabe Hiro said, her head bowed. She didn't want to come at all, sensing that something was going to happen.

"Your place has a really nice environment, right under Tokyo Tower."

Every now and then, you can watch the sunrise from the top of the tower, which is over 300 meters high.

Jiang Xia looked her over and said, "Grandma Tiandao is truly an old lady with very high standards."

“It seems you really like it here. You can come often in the future. I’m very happy that you came,” said Tendou Souji.

"Yes, yes, the tree flowers are very happy."

“I like things that are clean and pure, and this place perfectly meets my requirements. It’s a place that makes me feel happy, gentle, warm, and full of life,” Jiang Xia said.

As they spoke, all sorts of breakfasts were prepared, each one steaming hot.

After receiving a reminder from Jiang Xia that Xiao Xi didn't like cold dishes, Tiandao Zongsi has rarely made cold dishes since then.

"This is delicious! Your cooking skills have improved again, brother," Tiandao Tree Flower said with a smile.

"Sister Xiaoxi, Gods, hurry up! My brother got up very early."

The approach to this is…

"Shuhua, you have an early class today, so you might not have enough time."

Tendou Souji looked at the tree flower, who was so excited that she wasn't eating properly, and gave her a helpless reminder.

"What a pity, can I ask for leave, brother?" Tendou Juka pleaded with Tendou Souji.

"No."

Upon receiving a negative answer, the Heavenly Tree Flower pursed its lips and quickly began to eat.

"After Shuhua returns at noon, Xiaoxi and I will stay here. We won't leave until the afternoon," Jiang Xia said softly to Tiandao Shuhua.

After all, no one can resist the Heavenly Tree Flower; she really is an incredibly cute little sister.

Tendou Souji wasn't surprised at all that Jiang Xia knew that Tendou Shuka had gone home at noon, but he was indeed curious about how Jiang Xia knew and was so sure about it.

"I'm leaving now. You must wait for me to come back at noon." Shuhua waved to Jiang Xia and the others.

"Take care on your journey."

"She's so energetic," Jiang Xia exclaimed. "Completely different from Xiao Xi."

Tendou Souji just glanced at Xiaoxi silently. Perhaps if he had told her earlier, Xiaoxi wouldn't have been so fixated on hatred.

“I have something to show you that can unravel the mystery of the belt and what happened seven years ago,” Tendou Souji said, looking at Kusakabe Hiroshi.

Tendou Souji walked to a cabinet made of pure wood that was slightly shorter than him, and it was filled with all kinds of picture frames.

The scenes are all of Tendou Souji and Juka standing together.

He didn't touch it, but carefully reached out and touched a small compartment under the cabinet.

Jiang Xia heard a clicking sound coming from inside; the latch had been opened, as if some mechanism had been triggered.

"These are photos of me with my father and mother, and they are my treasures."

With a touch of nostalgia, Tendou Souji took out the photos and showed them to Kusakabe Hiroshi one by one.

Even Shuhua, who had lived with him for so long, didn't know about the mechanism here. No matter how playful Shuhua was, she couldn't possibly open it; he had hidden it very well.

"Who are these?" Kusakabe Hiro looked at the unusually familiar people in the photos and quickly took out photos of his own parents to compare them.

An identical couple leans against each other in the same position, but the children nestled in their arms are different.

In Kusakabe Hikari's eyes, her parents' faces were so familiar that she could even recall the feeling of taking photos together.

It was an afternoon in Shibuya, and a family who had just finished a spring outing were happily taking pictures on the lawn where she always went.

When she saw these photos, it was as if a force transcended time, taking her back to seven years ago, to the spring before the meteorite fell in Shibuya.
