Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

His expression looked kind and approachable, yet it also carried a strange, sinister undertone.

"Evil disciple..."

"Shouldn't it exist in this world?"

However, the future world has been destroyed by a powerful demon clan, and then the future humans who hid in the dimensional space brought the demon seed back to the past.

And let him cultivate it.

The old man stroked a cactus demon that had already grown in front of him, and his face was indeed amiable with a kind smile, but this kindness was not directed at humans.

“The demonic disciple was cultivated by me.”

His eyes gleamed with a fanatical enthusiasm: "What an adorable child! Grow up quickly, and then devour that arrogant brat, making him your nourishment!"

……

"Father, you said before..."

Sitting on the Dandelion Voyager, enjoying flying in the sky, Eiju squinted his eyes, which were dry from the wind, and looked up at the person behind him.

"What about the people who created the demonic followers?"

In DGP's promotional materials, the Demon Enthusiasts are monsters that invade the world. The Desire Grand Prix was created to deal with the Demon Enthusiasts, so only by defeating the Demon Enthusiasts can the contestants become the final victor, the "God of Desire"!

But it seems no one has investigated how the Demonic Disciples came into being, or what their relationship is with the Desire Grand Prix.

Kino was pleased with Hidetoshi's self-deprecating nickname. He patted the child's head and said, "It was the mastermind behind the Desire Grand Prix who created the demons and released them into this world, and then sent you to fight the demons, just like fighting crickets."

Ying Shou was stunned upon hearing this, and his pupils suddenly dilated!

"Then...everyone, please participate in this game..."

“They saw you fighting to the death with the demons and were very happy. Then they gave you a handout to fulfill your desires, and you were happy too. The only ones who were unhappy were the dead.”

"........."

Hidetoshi, his expression blank, was speechless.

If that's the case, then the "Grand Prix of Desire," which appears as a god to save the world, is actually a complete scam, because the crisis of the evil forces invading the world originated from them from the very beginning!

But this matter is probably beyond repair.

Because they offer the lure of "fulfilling wishes," even knowing it's a scam, countless people are still drawn in by their desires and join in.

Fulfill your wish...

Countless chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind. From the moment he met Kino, he analyzed the information he had received one by one and finally strung them together into a complete intelligence line.

"My mother..."

Eiji gritted his teeth and his voice trembled: "Was he kidnapped by the Desire Grand Prix?"

……

Chapter 75, Eisho, you must remember...

Eiju was undoubtedly intelligent and perceptive.

However, Kino had no intention of hiding it from him; in fact, it could be said that she deliberately led Eiji to discover the truth on his own.

In the world of Kamen Rider Goku, DGP is the root of all evil, but to completely eradicate this evil, it would take at least three thousand years of time.

Because people in the future are practically immortal.

They are like beings equipped with a life-fixation device, whose bodies used in the past can be resurrected in the future even if they die, and then return to the past world to continue to wreak havoc.

So this is going to be a protracted battle!

Although Kino had already planned to tell Hidetoshi everything, he still pretended to be serious and said, "Hidetoshi, you're still young. It's for your own good not to tell you this!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Shou remained silent for a moment, then turned around and looked at him with an indescribable expression.

“But I don’t think that’s what you think.”

"emmm..."

Kino paused for a moment, then said with a helpless expression, "I understand. Since you insist on your beliefs, I have no choice but to reluctantly tell you the whole truth!"

Hidetoshi: "..." Is this what belief is?

……

As people from ancient times living more than two thousand years away from the new century, it might be difficult for them to understand the concept of "people from the future".

After all, whether it was the Desire Grand Prix, those demonic followers, or even Kino's transformation into Kamen Rider Zangetsu some time ago, such incomprehensible power was equivalent to a miracle in the eyes of the ancients.

Time travel? A miracle!

Destroying monsters? A miracle!

Kamen Rider? God…

Are you also from the future?

After learning the truth about Mitzme and DGP from Kino, Eiji suddenly asked this question.

People of this era cannot understand these things, let alone have the power to become "Kamen Riders". But if the other party is from a distant future like DGP, then everything makes sense.

Kino thought for a moment and said, "That's probably true. Just think of me as someone from the future!"

In a way, knowing all the history of Kamen Rider, he can indeed be considered a person from the "future".

Upon hearing his admission, Eishou fell silent once again.

The future... such a distant thing.

For some reason, Eiji suddenly felt that what Kino had just said might have been from the bottom of his heart—that he didn't tell him for his own good.

Because of the vast span of over three thousand years, even with the power of Kamen Rider, he could not defeat those time travelers or rescue his mother from them. He would only die decades later, grieving the pain of knowing the truth but being powerless to do anything about it.

As he pondered this, Hidetoshi found himself involuntarily filled with despair.

But then Kino's voice rang out again.

"Eishu, you must remember—"

Kino said earnestly, "True strength is choosing to fight even after recognizing your own insignificance, and never giving up until the very last moment. That is the belief of Kamen Rider!"

Ying Shou was startled and turned to look at him intently. At that moment, something seemed to appear in the child's eyes.

Is this what belief is?

Hidetoshi, lost in thought, looked ahead again.

The dandelion sailors fly hundreds of meters in the air, with the vast land stretching into the distance and an endless green sea stretching beneath their feet. The strong winds at high altitudes sweep past them, creating waves of green waves in the forest.

This world is still so beautiful; it is the world that my mother, who is also from the future, fell in love with.

So no matter how long he can hold out in this battle, or how far he can go in the fight against DGP, he should not give up easily!

Hidetoshi seemed to have made up his mind.

As a result, he seemed much more open-minded.

but……

It wasn't until the dandelion navigator flew over the same grove of trees for what seemed like the umpteenth time, until Ying Shou's eyes were dry from the wind, until his stomach started to rumble, that he seemed to finally realize something.

"you……"

With a blank expression, Eiju asked, "Why aren't you going back yet?"

Kino clicked his tongue in amazement: "Actually, I don't think my spatial awareness is very good. How come all these forests look the same?"

In short, he got lost.

So after flying around in the dense primeval forest for a long time, they still couldn't find the location of Ying Shou's tribe.

……

……

The next few days.

The final stage of the Desire Grand Prix has never even begun.

The tribe members remained calm about this.

Based on past experience, DGP will only announce the start of the match when the invading monsters appear, and then they can save the world by defeating the monsters.

But Eiji already knew the truth. He understood that the reason the demons hadn't appeared was simply because DGP hadn't released the monsters yet.

However, the two of them haven't been idle these past few days.

Because Kino thoughtfully devised a "Kamen Rider Crash Course" for Hidetoshi, who was eager to become stronger.

"Run!!"

Riding his motorcycle through the forest, Kino shouted seriously, "100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day are essential! You've only run a few kilometers so far, not even two!!"

Eiji, who was being chased by a motorcycle, also shouted, "Then why don't you run with me? What's the point of riding a motorcycle! Besides, I just finished doing squats!"

"You little fox cub! You've grown bold, daring to question your father's decisions?"

"Om-"

Hearing the sudden increase in the engine noise of a motorcycle behind him, Eiji sprang forward a few steps and then climbed up the nearest big tree.

The Rose Attacker Knight stopped at the foot of the tree, and Kino looked at the person in the tree.

"Get down here, or I won't hit you."

"..."

Ying Shou couldn't believe it, but stubbornly clung to the tree trunk without saying a word, taking the opportunity to rest.

During this time, he was tormented by this guy from time to time under the guise of "becoming the strongest Kamen Rider," and every time he protested, he would hear the curse-like chant, "Hidetoshi, you must remember—" echoing in his ears!

Eiji was already starting to lose his focus, and now he could only instinctively reply, "I understand, I understand..."

When Kino saw that the person wouldn't come down, he started to sigh and plead again, putting on a pained expression.

"Hidetoshi, I'm doing this for your own good! If you don't work hard, how will you stand out among all the Kamen Riders!"

"..."

Hearing this familiar rhetoric, Ying Shou even wanted to reflexively retort with "It's none of your business," but he held back the words when they reached his throat.

Kino continued to advise, "You know, being a Kamen Rider these days isn't easy. One wrong move and you're..."

Eiju simply closed his eyes to avoid seeing or hearing anything, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear Kino continue muttering. Looking down, he saw that the latter was gazing in the direction of the tribe.

"What's wrong?" Eiji asked.

"That's a bit strange. That Christmas tree shouldn't have been there before, right? What is it...?" Kino squinted slightly.

—No! That's not a tree!

……

Chapter 76 Giant Cactus Demon Disciple

Although Kino has a bad sense of direction, she does have a talent for recognizing strange things, especially a tree that stands out from its surroundings.

That's a cactus demon!

Kino kicked the tree trunk in front of him, knocking the unsuspecting Hidetoshi down, then grabbed him and headed straight towards the village.

Ying Shou's eyes widened: "What's wrong? Did something happen in the tribe?"

"The game has begun!"

Kino immediately switched to the Dandelion Voyager.

For some reason, the DGP operators still haven't contacted him, leaving Kino with no chance of realizing his idea of ​​getting close to the people of the future through the "Desire Grand Prix".

This meant that when the game started, he didn't receive any messages and could only wait for the other participants in his tribe to notify him.

But everything was calm and peaceful before I went out today.

The dandelion sailors quickly arrived at the tribal settlement, which was already in ruins.

Looking from above, one can see a giant triangular plant coiled in the open space in the center of the village, with cactus flowers scattered on its green body, and the humans trapped inside can be vaguely seen.
