Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

He was very confused: "The core IDs of the knights belong to the individuals. Even if a contestant is eliminated, those remaining core IDs cannot be given to another person to use!"

Kino said matter-of-factly, "What's so strange about that? Because I'm a Kamen Rider, it's perfectly reasonable for me to be able to transform into different Kamen Riders like you!"

Hidetoshi Ukiyo: "..." Such words were enough to coax children in the past.

Looking at the Kamen Rider Gokugaku in front of him, who should have been Kamen Rider himself, Hidetoshi Ukiyo felt a strange and indescribable feeling.

At this moment, Kino put his hands on his hips and declared, "Alright! Now I am Kamen Rider Kyoku, and I will participate in the final round of the competition!"

He's using the core ID of Extreme Fox, so even if he defeats the final boss, DGP probably won't be able to find any fault with him!

But Ukiyo Hidetoshi was utterly shocked!

My belt was stolen...

Will their identity be replaced?

"no!"

He reacted swiftly, lunging forward and grabbing Kino with one hand to prevent him from escaping, while trying to pry off his own belt with the other. Then he protested sternly, "I can defeat that demon myself!"

Kino quickly grabbed his hand and scolded him, "Hidetoshi, you're a grown man, don't be so immature. It's safest to leave this to your father to handle!"

“No need! Even without you, I’ve already won many times!” Ukiyo Hidetoshi refused to compromise.

"I'm your father, I'm more powerful than you!"

"You just want to play around, don't you!"

"..."

In the ensuing stalemate, Hidetoshi Ukiyo finally managed to snatch back his Rider Belt and carefully put away the Fox Core ID, fearing that Kino might secretly take it and then steal someone else's "Desire Driver" to transform.

He really didn't think this guy was capable of doing something like that!

Kino did not continue to fight with the child over the toy.

It was because he opened [Kamen Rider Chronicle], and looking at Kamen Rider Goku on the page, he thought he would knock out Hidetoshi Ukiyo before participating in the competition.

"By the way, what is your wish this time?" Kino asked, remembering this.

"My wish..."

However, Ukiyo Hidetoshi avoided eye contact.

Kino narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your wish isn't to become family with the operators of DGP, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Ukiyo Hidetoshi asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"I'm from the future, so it's reasonable for me to know a little about the future!" Kino always said confidently.

“No, I’ve found it strange for a long time. You’re not surprised at all that you still have memories of me now. You’re not from the future, are you? Or maybe you’re not from this world!” Ukiyo Hidetoshi said seriously.

“Mitzmae has become the goddess of creation, so what’s so strange about you retaining some memories! And since I know what will happen in the future, why can’t I be considered a ‘person from the future’?”

"..."

Put another way around it, and it does seem to make sense.

In any case, Ukiyo Hidetoshi will never be able to defeat this guy when it comes to sophistry, because even if he does win, he still has the trick of being unreasonable.

Kino smiled and said, "Anyway, no matter what my identity is, you just need to know that I will help you."

Upon hearing this, Ukiyo Hidetoshi was slightly taken aback. He looked at the person in front of him—indeed, this person had been helping him from beginning to end.

From the very first encounter, and even throughout those long two thousand years...

Then Kino seriously changed the subject: "Okay, let's change that wish. Now that your real father is back, you don't need to create another 'wild' father!"

"You were originally wild too..."

Ukiyo Hidetoshi couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath, then said, "I want to find out where this Demon Garden is by getting close to the operators of DGP."

"Hmm?" Kino paused upon hearing this.

“You said it before, right? The Demons are all monsters artificially bred. I once stumbled into the Demon Garden, but in the Grand Prix of Desire, that position changes in every era,” Ukiyo Hidetoshi said earnestly.

“Hidetoshi, may I ask you a question first?” Kino then said.

"what?"

"Have you ever given it away for free before?"

"………No."

Although he denied it, Hidetoshi Ukiyo's expression was slightly stiff.

"Um--?"

Kino's gaze drew closer to him, filled with profound meaning.

Could Ukiyo Hidetoshi, who already knew the whole truth two thousand years ago, really refrain from courting death?

Obviously impossible!

Since Hidetoshi Ukiyo no longer needed to spend a long time figuring out his own background and investigating Mitzmey's whereabouts, "how to rescue his mother from DGP" became his objective.

After participating in several Desire Grand Prix competitions, Hidetoshi successfully became arrogant!

After discovering that he could not directly wish to see his mother and had no other way to get close to the core of DGP, he devised a plan to get close to the DGP operator at the time.

Then launch a sneak attack!

The result was, naturally, failure.

During his escape, Eiji accidentally stumbled into the Garden of Evil Disciples of that era. He fought as he ran, and just as he was about to be captured and killed by DGP, he performed a feat of instant reincarnation!

Since then, DGP has become much stricter in selecting participants and is no longer limited to historical figures.

After all, historical figures became famous because they used methods that were beyond the reach of others.

Therefore, after the current game administrator took over, most of the contestants selected were ordinary people who were "willing to become Kamen Riders and fight," and additional contestants were selected based on audience appeals.

Kino listened and shook his head, circling around Ukiyo Hidetoshi to look him over.

"I told you not to give things away for nothing, but you never learn!"

"...I'm just giving it a try."

"Don't take advantage of your ability to reincarnate and be reborn to do whatever you want. You might not be able to be reborn again in this life, so be careful!" Kino continued.

"What do you mean?" Ukiyo Hidetoshi was stunned.

But Kino didn't explain anything further.

After more than two thousand years of exploitation, the power of the creator goddess Mitzmee is dwindling. DGP has also discovered this problem, which is why this era has been prolonged, in order to expedite the awakening of another "creator goddess".

As for Hidetoshi Ukiyo, who is Mitzme's child, Kino is unsure whether his reincarnation is due to his own characteristics or the protection of Mitzme's prayers.

But if they continue to act recklessly like this, things will definitely get out of hand.

However, after a moment of silence, Hidetoshi Ukiyo whispered, "But only by getting close to the operators can I have a chance to get that driver..."

—Vision Driver, this thing can enter the Palace of Desire and meet the Goddess of Creation!

Kino stared at him speechlessly.

Unexpectedly, after all this talk, this guy's real goal was still to find his mother. Investigating the Demon Garden was just a side effect!

Last time, Hidetoshi Ukiyo was too hasty, so he was stopped before he could even secure the operation of "Vision Driver". This time, he should take his time and have a chance, right?

"You don't need to do that!"

Kino put his hands on his hips and grinned, "Don't forget, I'm back now. That guy will definitely come looking for me!"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi looked at him: "You were already defeated by him last time."

"Say it again?"

"..."

"Stop arguing! I'll try my best to help you win this time from the shadows. Just change your wish—"

Two thousand years later, Siel has basically become a hands-off manager. DGP has been handed over to an operations manager, who then delegated management authority to a game administrator.

Although the current game administrator has never met Kachikazuki Zangetsu, he will definitely be wary of a strange Kamen Rider who suddenly appears. Therefore, Kino needs a wish to enter the Desire Grand Prix in a logical way.

That administrator is rather stubborn; as long as it's the wish of the God of Desire, no matter how outrageous it is, he'll think it's rightfully the winner's—but he'll do dirty tricks afterward.

"As for the Demon Disciple Garden, we can just leave it to these little guys to handle."

As Kino spoke, he opened the Kamen Rider Chronicle and released the Gearshift Chariot and Signal Motorcycle. Instantly, dozens of streaks of light began to swirl around the two of them.

The amazing circus act circled around Hidetoshi Ukiyo a few times before landing on his outstretched palm.

The two were clearly very close.

Kino raised an eyebrow at this: "You've protected it quite well over the past two thousand years!"

These geared tanks are powerful yet fragile, easily damaged when hit, and automatically return to the Chronicles after being destroyed. They can only be summoned again after a period of time, just like those overused knight belts with a cooldown.

The Amazing Circus has survived alongside Hidetoshi Ukiyo to this day, clearly having been largely unharmed.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi smiled slightly: "It has helped me a lot and is a very reliable partner."

It was also because of the existence of the Amazing Circus that he clearly understood that what happened more than two thousand years ago was not a fantasy, and he believed that someone would definitely come back to take it away.

Then Kino snatched the Amazing Circus from his hands!

"Of course I know it's reliable, and it's mine now!"

—The Amazing Circus performers can't go out to work; they have to stay by your side and be ready to put on a show at any time!

With his hands suddenly empty, the Amazing Circus across from him flashed their headlights at him, and Ukiyo Hidetoshi shook his head, feeling both helpless and amused.

At that moment, a ringtone sounded on his body, and Ukiyo Hidetoshi took out the game terminal distributed by DGP—the Spider Phone.

"Contestants, assemble..."

After confirming the information, Ukiyo Hidetoshi couldn't help but glance at the person standing in front of him.

Kino smiled and said, "They'll definitely ask you about me, so you'd better be prepared. Of course, I don't mind if you introduce me to them!"

As for why they don't mind that it's obvious to everyone...

……

Chapter 85: The Goal is the Future!

DGP's current game administrator—

Kiroli.

He now has to investigate the frequent evolutions of the cactus demon, track down the mysterious Kamen Rider, and deal with the backstage flooded with private messages from viewers.

Because the appearance and clash of Kamen Rider Zangetsu was so exciting, the audience basically didn't care about the origin of this Kamen Rider. They just wanted to enjoy the show, so they frantically submitted articles to DGP, requesting that the Kamen Rider be included in the Desire Grand Prix.

Kiroly temporarily ignored this.

Because at this critical juncture, the cactus demon has grown to a gigantic size of 100 meters, and it has even eaten the energy canister!

The game, which is essentially a "kicking the can" game, can no longer be played by kicking the can...

Although the show's popularity has increased as a result, if these issues are not properly addressed, the Kamen Riders will find it difficult to win this match, and may even be completely wiped out!

Kiroli was immediately overwhelmed with work and had a headache.

……

Meanwhile, in the participants' login space...

When Hidetoshi Ukiyo returned, the other three immediately focused their attention on him, and Izuri, who was the guide, also secretly looked at him with curiosity.

Finally, Sakurai Kagekazu couldn't help but ask, "Hidetoshi, is that Kamen Rider someone you know?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else perked up their ears.

However, Ukiyo Eiju merely glanced at him lightly, without saying a word to explain, and stood there with his arms crossed, looking like a stranger should not be approached.

"whispering sound……"

My wife, the Daoist priest, scoffed dismissively.

When Kiroli, who was hiding his identity, walked over wearing a mask, Ukiyo Hidetoshi thoughtfully asked, "The game administrator?"

Kiroli also gave him a discreet look, and then a processed electronic voice came from under the mask: "Fellow Kamen Riders, because the evolution speed of the Demon Fiends has exceeded our expectations, we now need you to carry out an urgent mission."
