Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

He glanced at his target and, taking advantage of the opportunity, the Otherworldly Ghost decisively made its way away.

Then Kamen Rider Decade waved and left, saying, "Well then, goodbye~"

Kamen Rider ZiO instinctively tried to call out to the other party, but could only watch helplessly as the strange Kamen Rider and Another Rider left. It was at this moment that the boy lying on the ground also stirred.

"It's done!"

Kino happily opened his eyes and sat up, turning to look at Kamen Rider Decade. But when he looked around, the overpass was quiet, with only Kamen Rider ZiO staring at him.

Kino paused for a moment: "What about the Otherworldly Knight?"

Kamen Rider ZiO scratched his head: "They ran away, and that Kamen Rider I didn't recognize left too. Speaking of which, Kino, are you hurt anywhere?"

He hadn't paid close attention to the battle here. He only saw an exaggerated burst of flames in mid-air, as if something huge had been blown up. Then, when he turned his head, he saw Kino lying motionless on the ground, which is why he was so worried at the time.

But now it seems that nothing happened to Kino, and he even appears to be visibly happy.

Tokiwa Sougo didn't understand, but he was also relieved.

Tenkuji Takeru and Narita, who had been hiding on the outskirts of the battlefield, rushed over when they saw that the battle was over: "Sougo, Kino, how are you?"

“We’re alright!” Tokiwa Sougo reassured him.

When Kino saw that his transformation had automatically ended, he probably guessed that it was a problem that occurred when he was recording "Kamen Rider Decade". Although he was unable to defeat Another Ghost here because of this, he at least managed to touch Kamen Rider Decade.

He dusted himself off, stood up, and said, "The operation was barely a success. Now, let's go straight back to 2015!"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Tokiwa Sougo was completely dumbfounded.

Combat? What combat plans do they have?

And it actually succeeded?

Kino then looked at Tenkuji Takeru: "Takeru, you will also come back to 2015 with us."

Then Takeru Tenkuuji looked completely bewildered: "What do you mean, go back... to the past?"

"Correct!"

Kino smiled brightly: "After all, you hold the key to defeating the Otherworldly Ghost. Once things are resolved, you might even regain your memories!"

That way he can happily accept another knight!

……

At this time.

On the overpass not far away.

A young man dressed in a black casual suit with a red shirt slowly walked out, his gaze landing on the group of people under the overpass with a hint of inquiry, before he raised his hand to fiddle with the magenta camera hanging around his neck.

As he pointed the camera at one of the boys, a man in a gray-green robe walked out from beside him.

“You’ve already sensed that person’s strangeness, haven’t you? He’s the source of the disruption to history, along with some people who shouldn’t exist and have traveled from the future. I hope you can destroy the extra timelines they’ve altered!” Woz chuckled.

"Until I figure it out..."

Tsukasa Kadoya said casually, "That will tell you whether or not this world should be destroyed."

Woz glanced at him without changing his expression.

To ensure that the world proceeds according to the correct history, Woz not only began to cooperate with the Time Jackers, but also brought in the legendary destroyer of the world. As long as the other party has the ability to stop Meikoin Geiz and that inexplicable guy from changing history, then the remaining Time Jackers are not worth mentioning.

After all, the Time Jackers' act of creating Another Riders is itself a part of advancing history.

As for the other party wanting to destroy this world?

Wozniak wasn't worried either.

A meaningful, mysterious smile appeared on his face. After putting on his scarf and hood, he turned and disappeared.

Tsukasa Kadoya, who never looked up, ignored Woz's "I was here" comment. After adjusting the angle of his camera, he pressed the shutter and captured the boy under the overpass in the viewfinder.

Then he confidently glanced down at the screen.

There was nothing there...

……

Chapter 414 Suffering another setback

"So--"

After everyone had gathered at the Great Sky Temple.

Kino began to assign tasks: "This time, Geiz will stay in 2018 to deal with Another Ghost. Tsukuyomi, after you have investigated the place where the unexpected event will occur in the future, just take Geiz there and wait. Then, Sougo and I will be responsible for going back to 2015 to eliminate Another Ghost there. Takeru will also be with us this time."

Tsukuyomi nodded without any objection.

Meikoin Gates continued, "Why should I have to obey your orders! Your origins are already bizarre, and why is it that this time it's ZiO going back to the past—and you're bringing this guy along?"

He was referring to Tenkuji Takeru, who looked completely innocent next to him.

Hearing this, Kino was unsure for a moment which point he was concerned about.

However, he patiently explained, "The Otherworldly Ghost can grow stronger by absorbing soul power. He will definitely continue to act. Gates, you have the 'Ghost Ride Watch,' right? So you stay here to protect those people."

"That's right!"

Hearing this, Tokiwa Sougo asked curiously, "Why did you have Ghost and Drive on your watch from the very beginning, Gates?"

Meikoin Gates remained silent with a cold expression.

Tsukuyomi kindly answered for him: "It was stolen from Oma ZiO."

"Eh—"

Tokiwa Sougo drew out his words in surprise.

Then he realized what he was doing, and his eyes lit up as he pointed excitedly at himself, saying, "Isn't that mine?"

“It’s mine now!” Meikoin Gates immediately retorted.

“But you stole it from me.”

"It's from Oma ZiO, not you!"

"Well……"

Tokiwa Sougo blinked and smiled, "So that means, Gates, you also think that the future Oma ZiO isn't me!"

Meikoin Gates paused, then said, "..."

He was originally considering Kino's arrangements, but after being interrupted by Tokiwa Sougo, his mind seemed to spin several times before he came to his senses. Then he said in a firm voice, "But you will also become Oma ZiO in the future!"

"I won't~"

Tokiwa Sougo's face lit up with a proud smile: "Because I will definitely become the most benevolent and virtuous Demon King!"

Upon hearing this, Meikoin Gates didn't say anything more, only letting out a disdainful sneer.

Tenkuji-zun, standing to the side, sized them up.

"Did they have a fight?" he asked Kino.

"No, we were just flirting."

"...?"

Tenkuji Takeru, who had originally intended to mediate between them, was at a loss for words. After all, as the future heir of a training temple, he was quite adept at resolving disputes among his neighbors!

Meanwhile, Tsukuyomi had already used her high-tech tablet to investigate the location where the accident would occur in the next two days.

"Although it's a bit against the rules to casually investigate future events... if what you said is true, the Ghost should appear in these places, right?"

She showed the news about the accident to several people.

Kino nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you to investigate. After Sougo and I return to 2015, the Time Jackers will probably follow us. If Another Ghost successfully disappears into the modern world, then I'm afraid we'll need you to come and help us."

Tokiwa Sougo suddenly remembered something: "Wait, what about the Kamen Rider who attacked us?"

"The Kamen Riders who attacked you?"

Meikoin Gates keenly pressed for an answer.

After they reunited, all they knew was that they had encountered Another Rider, and they were unaware that other Kamen Riders had appeared.

So Tokiwa Sougo explained to him the situation that Tenkuji Takeru had investigated, including the Kamen Rider who appeared to stop them. Since Kino's transformation process was omitted, Meikoin Geiz only thought that the other party had turned into "Kamen Rider Gaim" to fight.

He thought for a moment and then asked Kino directly, "Do you know who that Kamen Rider is?"

"Hmm, Kamen Rider Decade."

Kino truthfully explained, "He can use different Rider powers just like you, but he directly transforms into the corresponding Rider's form to fight. The earth-colored Kamen Rider just now represents 'Kamen Rider Agito' from 2001."

Tokiwa Sougo suddenly said, "Huh? Isn't that just like Kino-san? You can also turn into Kamen Rider Gaim!"

Bang—

Tokiwa Sougo, whose head had been struck hard, crouched down to the side, clutching his head.

Kino continued to tell Meikoin Geiz, "If you encounter Kamen Rider Decade when you're on your mission later, don't worry about what he's doing. Just fight him casually. He's basically unstoppable."

However, his words were clearly not accepted by the latter: "Hey! What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting I turn a blind eye to that guy's behavior?!"

"emmm..."

So Kino readily agreed, "If you want to fight, then go ahead and fight him. There's no harm in it anyway." At most, you'll just get a little humiliated.

Consider it gaining experience.

Meikoin Gates immediately felt a surge of frustration.

He felt an unventable emotion stuck in his throat when he faced the father and son, so if he encountered Kamen Rider Decade later, he would definitely beat him up without hesitation to prove something!

After finalizing the plan, Tokiwa Sougo summoned the Time Machine, which carried Kino and Tenkuji Takeru to 2015, the year Another Ghost was born.

As for Meikoin Gates, although he seemed very resistant to being assigned tasks, he still went with Tsukuyomi to investigate the accident site.

……

Inside the Time Demon Machine.

Tenkuji Takeru looked at the huge mecha with some surprise, never expecting that "going back to the past" could actually happen. However, compared to this, he was a little worried about someone else.

"Is Gates really okay? If he runs into that Kamen Rider, I feel like he definitely won't let it go."

Don't worry~

Kino comforted him, "At most, we'll just beat him up. As a Kamen Rider, becoming stronger through sweat and pain is part of the training!"

Tokiwa Sougo, who was sitting in the back controlling the Time Demon Machine, seemed to chuckle with a hint of schadenfreude.

"He doesn't sound like a bad person?" Tenkuji Takeru said upon hearing this.

"Probably. He came to this world just to confirm whether the Demon King is really the Demon King. But given that guy's comprehension ability, it will probably take him a long time to figure things out," Kino chuckled.

So, during this period, any Kamen Rider who was randomly beaten up by the destroyer of the world could only be considered unlucky.

Of course, the main ones who got beaten up were Kamen Rider ZiO and Kamen Rider Geiz.

However, now that Kino is here, if he encounters Kamen Rider Decade this time, he wouldn't mind having one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, or eight battles with him.

After all, this is probably the only way he can permanently include "Kamen Rider Decade".

I'm inexplicably missing Agito.

……

Chapter 415 From now on, the field will be full of Ghosts.

Not long after the two sides split up, based on future news intelligence, Meikoin Gates and Tsukuyomi quickly found traces of the Otherworldly Ghost at a chemical plant.

As that guy predicted, the alien Ghost was indeed attacking humans who were prone to accidents and absorbing their souls.

Seeing this, Meikoin Gates decisively took out his Ridewatch and transformed.

Rider Time!

『KamenRider Geiz!』

Kamen Rider Geiz flipped and jumped down the stairs, summoning the Time Axe as he landed. Ghost, who was attacking humans, didn't notice the danger behind him and was caught off guard, getting hit directly by the axe.
