Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

Okay~

After the girl's energetic voice came, Yan Ming only heard the sound of small steps walking towards the bathroom.

He even broke his silence and smiled.

Yan Ming rarely speaks, always maintaining a cold and absolutely composed demeanor, unlike a normal high school student.

Perhaps, only when I'm with people I truly connect with can I be a little less cold-hearted.

"I'm starting!"

Aoi Yu briefly said these words, and then, as if unable to contain herself, scooped up a large mouthful of baked seafood with a spoon.

After taking a bite, a warm and satisfied feeling immediately appeared on her face.

"So delicious... Brother Yanming's cooking skills are so good, I wish I could eat this every day."

Are you going to call me "brother" or just call me by my name?

"Well...it depends on my mood."

The two exchanged a few words, but it was only then that they noticed the news being broadcast on television.

"Everyone!! This is a reporter from Mitakihara Weather Station! We are currently conducting an emergency live broadcast!"

"It's an emergency live broadcast! I just saw it on my phone too. It looks like a typhoon is coming today?"

Yan Ming and Kui Yu both stared intently at the images on the television.

however.

"It's still unclear how strong the typhoon is, we only know that it has affected the sea areas... Wait, look, I see it!"

"Hey... what's going on? This size, no, it can't be! That's not even a typhoon anymore! This situation is simply—"

"It's getting closer to Mitakihara! Something this big... if it hits... the city... will be destroyed..."

"Quick...run away..."

Click—the signal was completely cut off.

Both Yan Ming and Kui Yu were stunned and stood there.

"We are very sorry, there seems to be a connection problem between the on-site reporters and the television station! We will fix it immediately, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We will switch the channel to Channel 5 right away!"

"...What just happened?"

The TV program has changed.

The program, which was originally supposed to be reporting the weather, was changed to a series of beverage advertisements.

Despite the humorous and upbeat music in the advertisement being played directly through the television throughout the living room.

The atmosphere in the room still became oppressive.

"That reporter was talking about...a typhoon? Is that right?"

"...probably."

"I have a feeling...it's really scary, and the weather today is also rather gloomy...it's really not right."

Even with the lights on, the atmosphere in the room was still oppressive.

Kui Yu sat there with a complicated expression, staring motionlessly at the still steaming baked seafood in front of her.

Yan Ming looked out the window and gazed directly at the distant sky.

It was as if they were trying to see through the haze that covered the entire blue sky.

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

Homura Akemi was standing on a rooftop near the bridge.

Ignoring the wind and rain, she gazed intently at the distant coastline under the gloomy sky.

"There's no mistake, that... is Witch's Night."

In her memory, there was a terrifying monster that could devour everything and would soon attack the entire city of Mitakihara.

That is exactly what people call a "typhoon".

"But...it's still a long way from the scheduled time, why? Why is Witch's Night coming early?"

Could it be... because of this world?

Thinking about it this way, there are so many things I've seen in this world that are different from those in previous reincarnations.

Mitakihara's school was originally a middle school, but here it has become a high school.

And, the man we saw before, the one who wasn't affected by the witch…

The current situation is difficult to resolve.

—Should we turn back time to before it all began?

She does indeed possess this ability, and that is why Homura Akemi's actions have been so consistent so far.

but…

If we do that, will everything in this world be the same in the next cycle of reincarnation?

Throughout countless cycles of reincarnation, the world has remained unchanged.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change the future.

It's been quite an achievement that so many changes have occurred in this timeline.

Are we just going to give up like this?

"What exactly am I...?"

The fourteen-year-old girl fell into deep thought about these questions.

Hesitation continued to spread in my heart.

"What should I do?"

Volume One: The Demon King Descends: Chapter Four - The King's "2018"

This is a city called Mitakihara.

The weather is fine and sunny. Although it's not a particularly grand place, it still allows the people who live here to enjoy a happy and peaceful life.

Nowadays.

This long-standing history, which the residents had grown accustomed to for who knows how long, has disappeared.

Before me lies the city of Mitakihara.

An apocalyptic storm swept through every corner of the city.

"To reiterate. Right now, Mitakihara City has been hit by a super-powerful typhoon from overseas, and something like a giant tsunami has been observed heading towards the city from the outermost layer."

"As required by higher authorities, all residents must go to the nearest underground shelter for refuge. Relevant personnel will be responsible for the safety of the public. Please remember to go to the underground shelter."

"To reiterate, Mitakihara City has now been..."

In less than an hour, what was merely a level of strong winds and heavy rain escalated to the point where all residents of the city were required to evacuate.

All the residents began to seek refuge. Perhaps the government officials had other places to go, but ordinary citizens had no choice.

"Madoka, quickly take Tatsuya! We need to get to the nearest shelter right away!"

"Mom! Sayaka, she..."

"She'll definitely be fine... but more importantly, if we don't take refuge soon, even if Sayaka and her family are alright, those of us who missed the evacuation will be in trouble!"

Such conversations continued to come from various parts of the city.

People's anxious actions became orderly under the direction of numerous evacuation personnel.

"What...what exactly happened in this city?"

A petite girl with a red ponytail, standing atop the building, couldn't help but squint.

"This aura is... a witch? But it seems to be more unusual than that of a typical witch."

A blonde junior high school girl was sighing on the street not far away.

In any case, as people rapidly evacuated, they gradually began to complete the final steps.

"Once everyone has been assembled, we will completely close the doors to all the underground shelters."

"Yes, since the shelter is built underground, even a typhoon of the highest magnitude shouldn't be able to affect us."

"I hope so... Huh?"

Two staff members stood at the entrance of the shelter, responsible for arranging for the residents who had rushed there.

However, it seems that no one stays outside anymore.

Almost everyone has come to the underground shelter, and soon they will close the doors completely.

While thinking this way.

On the street in the distance, it seemed that two people wearing cloaks were walking towards this direction.

"What... Hey!!"

The two gatekeepers immediately shouted, and the relevant personnel rushed out.

"This is the refuge! Please hold on!"

As they rushed toward the two men, they used the communication system to tell the team members at the shelter to prepare two extra sets of supplies.

Yan Ming and Kui Yu continued walking towards the shelter.

"Are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine..."

Despite being terrified, Aoi had to force herself to appear calm.

With Yan Ming's help, the two found two cloaks in their home, which was barely enough to find the nearest shelter in such a violent storm.

Now that we've reached the location of the shelter, perhaps we can feel a little more at ease.

...Just as Yan Ming was thinking this.

A casual glance revealed something else entirely.

"…What?"

In the midst of the storm that should have been unstoppable, there was a figure that should never have been there.

He was holding a book and wearing a gray coat and scarf.

The young man she had seen once before stood atop a small building in the distance, completely unfazed by the wind and rain.

Om-! !

At that moment, Yan Ming felt a burning sensation coming from his pocket.

"What are you thinking about! Hurry up and come inside the shelter with us!"

The staff quickly pulled the two into the shelter, and they followed the people inside.

There must be at least a hundred people here.

The underground space looks large, but people can only sit on the floor and receive supplies from support personnel.

"Two newcomers have arrived. Give them supplies first, and then check if there are any other people outside."

"Well... the supplies department reported that there's no more room left to store."

"How is this possible? We just confirmed that there were enough supplies to distribute to the people!"

"I'm so sorry! The number of people seeking refuge was just too large, and the situation was too sudden, so... it far exceeded our expectations."

"hateful…!"

Just listening to the conversations of these officials is enough to instill a deep sense of despair in people.

"Yan Ming..."

Suwa Aoi, standing beside him, gripped his hand tightly.
