Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Gates calmly turned his head.

"We've seen plenty of guys like this, let him say whatever he wants."

Gates and Kusaka Masato put on expressions of utter indifference. Although Denji also wanted to say something, he understood that he couldn't just beat the other party up like that simply because they said a few words.

Joel gritted his teeth and sat back down, holding Anya in his arms.

Volume 4, Knight Wars: Chapter 102 A Misalignment of Memories? Or…

Yan Ming and Woz walked together toward the cabin.

To be honest, eating only this little bit won't make you feel full, and it won't help much with your physical recovery.

However, something is better than nothing, and... the food supply in this village is already very limited, so it's better to save as much food as possible for the villagers.

"My Demon King... is this really alright?"

"What's wrong? Are you upset because of what those people said just now?"

"I don't have any problem, but regarding your..."

"If you're alright, then I'm alright too."

Woz blinked, then his face lit up with a sudden realization.

"I see... A true king should not be bothered by trivial matters. How could a real king execute his own people over such a petty thing? Even a demon king would not be so petty. If one were to fly into a rage over something like this, then one would be a person without the spirit of a king!"

Here we go again, this guy…

Just as Yan Ming was speechless at Woz's string of nonsensical ramblings, he heard footsteps behind him.

The two stopped and saw that it was the same group of people they had just met in the cafeteria walking towards them.

"Could it be that they're here to cause trouble?"

Even Woz couldn't help but show a cold expression.

"My Demon King, please leave this to me. I will make them understand that even the composure of a king should not be challenged so repeatedly..."

"Wait a minute, they don't seem like they're here to cause trouble for me."

Yan Ming grabbed Woz, who was about to rush over and yell at him, and then looked at him.

"Leave this to me for now, you just keep an eye on things from the side."

Then, Yan Ming approached the group of young men and women.

However, the young man who was so dissatisfied with Kamen Rider just now... doesn't seem to be here.

A group of people surrounded him, and it seemed they really wanted to argue with him.

Yan Ming was prepared to engage in a verbal battle with them for a while.

result--

"I'm so sorry to have caused you so much trouble!"

Led by the blue-haired girl, the other young men also lowered their heads and apologized to Yan Ming with great remorse.

"Please don't take what that idiot said to heart. It would be best if you could forget it!"

"Forgetting it is impossible, right? Even I would get angry if I heard that kind of talk."

"Ah... well, please forgive his rudeness! We're truly sorry he said such a thing! And he even disturbed your meal..."

The girl in front of him rattled off a string of words one after another, and Yan Ming quickly waved his hand.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more, I basically understand."

"Really? Then..."

"I'm not really angry, I just hope you don't scare the children."

The girls and young men were all surprised by Yan Ming's reaction.

"You...aren't you angry?"

"You don't need to use honorifics for me. My name is Yan Ming. Just call me by my name."

"Well, Mr. Yan Ming...we will try to persuade our companion to stop saying such hurtful things in the future!"

In fact, this didn't matter to Yan Ming at all; he didn't care about what others said.

After all, he had heard far more offensive things long ago, even when he was very young, and he was already used to them.

"Our partner... a long time ago, he lost all his family members because of the battle between Kamen Riders and monsters."

"...Were they captured and used as raw materials for knights and monsters?"

"No, his parents and younger sister... all died in his original city."

At this point, the other young men and the girl also couldn't help but show a gloomy expression.

It seems that the people living in this village, or rather, the people of this world, don't have a good past.

"That's why he hates the concept of Kamen Rider so much. He's seen countless friends captured or killed by those Kamen Riders, which is why he's so hostile towards you..."

"I see, I can understand his feelings now."

"No, no, what do you mean by understanding him! You weren't the ones who did those things, so why should we take our anger out on you? It's so unreasonable!"

"That's right! I'll teach that guy a lesson later, so please don't worry, Mr. Yan Ming!"

The young people standing nearby said one after another, "Judging from their appearance, they must all be kind-hearted people."

Yet, because of this kind of world, they are all forced to live in such a destitute environment.

Seeing the young man and woman like this, Yan Ming began to ask other questions.

Do you know anything about that Naju?

"Naju? You mean the village chief?"

Yan Ming nodded, and the young man and the young woman looked at each other.

"We don't know much about Miss Naju's details, we only know that she seems to have been... a war correspondent."

"A war correspondent?"

"Well, it seems that in the early stages of the battles between those Kamen Riders and monsters, she went to the front lines to broadcast the situation live, but later... human civilization completely collapsed, and there were hardly any usable devices left, let alone broadcasting the situation."

"Later on, it seems that Miss Naju formed a team to search for and rescue people left in the city ruins day and night."

“We are the survivors she found from different cities. After going through many hardships and living a life of wandering, we finally found such a peaceful place.”

"And then...we've been living here ever since, for several months now."

I have a basic understanding of the situation.

After experiencing the feelings of these young men and women, Yan Ming couldn't help but show a knowing expression.

"Your lives must be really tough."

"Haha, I'm used to it now. I've been wandering around like this all along. There's really no other way."

"And to be honest, before war broke out in this world, our lives weren't actually that great."

"What was this world like before the war broke out...?"

"Huh? Mr. Yan Ming doesn't know that?"

The group was unaware that Yan Ming and his companions came from another world, so they immediately showed some surprise.

"That's the kind of world! If I remember correctly, it's... huh...?"

"what happened?"

At this moment, Yan Ming seemed to notice something was wrong.

The people in front of me were clearly thinking about the past, but their eyes gradually became...dazed.

"Life before...?"

"What kind of life did we used to live? Hmm..."

"I can't remember... Wasn't the world initially dominated by battles between Kamen Riders and monsters? Or... what...?"

What... is going on?

Looking at the situation before him, Yan Ming immediately realized that this was not a normal situation.

No matter how long the war lasted, since they experienced life before the war broke out, they must still remember it; they couldn't possibly have forgotten it completely.

But what's going on with this situation now...?

"Hey, what are you guys doing over there?"

They immediately came to their senses and then noticed that the young man behind them was calling to them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan Ming! It seems we'll have to get busy for a while!"

"It's alright, you guys go ahead."

And so Yan Ming watched them leave.

After they met up with the young man, the young man wearing the hat noticed Yan Ming's figure.

"What's wrong with you guys? You're actually hanging out with that Kamen Rider... Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"That's enough for me. It wasn't Mr. Yan Ming or Mr. Xiang Yi who killed your family. They were both very kind people!"

"That's right, and if you really think someone is amazing, how dare you say such bad things? Aren't you afraid that if they get angry, they'll beat you into a pig's head on the spot?"

"Hmph, that guy can't hear me anyway, and I'm not stupid enough to mock him to his face."

The young man turned around and left with his companions.

"Damn it... Naju! Why did she have to let this monster infiltrate our village? Shouldn't humans protect themselves with their own strength? We don't need these so-called 'heroes' of justice to help us!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense."

Yan Ming watched them leave.

At this moment, Woz walked over to his side.

"My Demon King... are you alright?"

Something's strange...

Yan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that there was indeed something very unusual about the young men and women in the conversation just now.

It's as if the world's original past has been completely forgotten...

"It's nothing, let's go back first."

--------------------------

Yan Ming and Woz returned to the wooden house that had been converted from a shelter.

The two of them sat at a table on the first floor, opening their books and discussing various topics.

"I see. It seems that the Omaguchi Advent Calendar: KT hasn't made any further progress this time."

"It's strange. The previous two worlds gave us plenty of information, but this time we got nothing."

Woz closed the book and said with a headache.

"Moreover, that guy named Luo Zi is also a problem. He is very strong. Even if you, my Demon King, were to take action, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to deal with him."

"I know what I'm doing, you don't need to worry too much."

The key point is not whether the enemy is strong or not.

"The real question is, what should we do next?"

Now they're like a bunch of headless flies, having accomplished their original goal, they can only fly around aimlessly.

It's unrealistic to say that we should completely eradicate all the monsters and Kamen Riders on this planet, leaving no survivors. And even if we did that, the world wouldn't necessarily be saved.

The only thing Yan Ming can think of right now is the option of revisiting his old haunts.

"I plan to go back to the location of that tower tomorrow to take another look."

"In that case, let me go with you."

"Indeed, only you can come with me. The rest of us have to stay here, in case that Luo Bo attacks us again..."
