Kamen Rider, the Mission Must Be Fulfilled!

"excuse me……"

Following the boss's guidance, he looked at the menu pasted on the counter. Zheng Yi looked at the dishes on it and thought for a while, then asked a bit embarrassed: "Boss, what's the breakfast dish you recommend?"

"It's recommended, let me think about it...do you hate sweets?"

"No, in general I'm quite fond of sweets."

"How about this thick egg grilled octopus sausage set? It is quite popular with regular customers here, and it is a set meal that is more in line with the taste of the public."

"Then this! Ah, and also, if there is hot barley tea..."

"Yes! I didn't expect you to like barley tea, brother. I just made it this morning. Come, drink it first."

He opened the curtain and walked into the back kitchen. When he came out again, the boss was already holding a cup of steaming barley tea. He raised his hand over the counter and put it in front of Zheng Yi.

"Thank you."

"Where, there are very few young people who like to drink barley tea these days. To have a young man who has a similar hobby with me makes me feel much younger!"

After waving his hands, the boss didn't hesitate, turned around and went back to the back kitchen to cook for Zheng Yi.

Holding the hot barley tea in his hand, Zheng Yi first sniffed it without any trace, relying on the superman's sense of smell and not finding anything wrong before taking a small sip.

"Guest, you look a bit unfamiliar, are you a passenger?"

"Can you see it? Boss."

Looking at the busy boss behind the curtain in surprise, Zheng Yi put down the teacup in his hand.

"After all, I have opened this restaurant here for nearly 15 years. From the beginning, I only served dinner and now I also serve breakfast. Most of my repeat customers here are old neighbors nearby. What's more, guests like you Man, I will definitely have an impression if I see it once."

"This is really incredible."

Right.

Taking a sip of barley tea again, Zheng Yi used the teacup to cover the slight curvature of his mouth.

If you want to search for information in a completely unfamiliar city with a human attitude, it is naturally the most stupid way to ask people in the street.If you can meet some characters like local snakes, you can certainly get a lot of news from them.But relatively speaking, if you want to get some information that is not closed, then finding an old shop like this, especially a restaurant is definitely one of the most suitable ways.

The Japanese culture of regular customers allows the owner of such an old store to learn a lot of interesting things from regular customers.

The reason why Zheng Yi finally decided to choose this store is that on the one hand, it has a somewhat retro facade structure, and on the other hand, the store that looks like an izakaya is actually open for business in the early morning.

This kind of situation generally means that the store has some regular customers who can allow the boss to make concessions in terms of business hours.Correspondingly, the business history of the store will not be too short.

Facts have proved that Zheng Yi's choice and guess are correct.

"But guest, why do you suddenly want to travel in this city? Judging by your physique, you must be an athlete who is here to participate in some kind of competition, right?"

"No, I'm a teacher. I used to work abroad, but recently I went back to the pot during the holidays to take a walk and meet some old friends."

"Are you a physical education teacher?"

"It's a biology teacher."

"Then it seems that you are very fond of sports. I have been in the shop for so many years, and I have never met someone with your physique."

"You're overrated. I'm just more interested in sports, so it's not worth mentioning."

"Haha, modesty is a good thing. By the way, if the thick egg is roasted, do you like it lighter or sweeter?"

"Let's make it sweeter."

"okay."

Listening to the movement from the back kitchen, Zheng Yi could already smell the aroma of the food.Obviously, the boss's movements are quite fast, and even if he is doing it now, he does not seem to be procrastinating at all. The smooth and smooth movements let Zheng Yi truly see the handyness of 15 years in business from this cheerful middle-aged man.

Seeing that the dishes were almost ready, Zheng Yi put down his cup and was about to get down to business.

"Boss, do you know the place of Mitakihara City?"

"Yo? Don't you know about that incident?"

"event?"

"It's—oh, well—"

While answering Zheng Yi's question, the boss put the plates neatly, and came out carrying two plates with octopus sausage in one hand and thick egg yakiniku in one hand. After cooking all night, steaming hot rice was handed over to Zheng Yi.

"Please use it. Compared with foreign breakfasts, the taste may be a little different. I don't know if it suits your taste."

"Then I'm welcome."

Picking up the chopsticks and showing courtesy to the boss, Zheng Yi first tasted the octopus sausage and thick egg yakiniku one by one.

"how?"

"Delicious, I haven't had breakfast like this in a while."

After all, what I cook for Mami and I are Chinese breakfast or Western breakfast.

Smiling and nodding at the boss, Zheng Yi continued to chat with the boss just now while sipping food: "Boss, the topic just now, did you see what happened in Takihara City?"

"Oh yes, guest, you just returned home, so it's normal if you don't know."

After washing his hands and wiping off the water stains with a towel, the boss turned around and looked at Zheng Yi who was a little dazed.

"Actually, Mitakihara City was just hit by a strong storm some time ago. According to reports, it seems to be quite a powerful tornado, and the entire city was almost destroyed. Fortunately, most people moved to other places before the storm arrived, so the number of casualties fell. Not only that, but I heard that the underground facilities in Mitakihara City were damaged due to the strong storm, and there was a huge explosion, but fortunately, the affected area seemed to be contained within Mitakihara and did not spread to other cities.”

"Did something like that happen..."

What is this operation?

Mitakihara City was destroyed by a strong storm?

I just came from Mitakihara City a few minutes ago!

The too far-fetched news made Zheng Yi stunned for a moment. Fortunately, the boss just thought that he might have an acquaintance in Mitakihara City, so he didn't have any doubts. He just refilled a cup of hot tea for Zheng Yi with some concern.

"Does the guest have acquaintances there? Don't worry, the evacuation notice was early at that time, so if you have acquaintances there, you must have been transferred to a safe place without incident."

"Please worry, I just lived there for a while before going abroad, and I don't have any acquaintances living in Jiantakihara. But when I heard this news suddenly, I couldn't react for a while."

"Who says it's not? Natural disasters are really terrible. Then a city will be wiped out in the blink of an eye."

With a sigh, the boss nodded vigorously,

Lowering his head and eating a few more mouthfuls, Zheng Yi responded to the boss's long and short sighs, while continuing to explore the information he wanted to know along this topic.

"Then what happened to Takihara City now?"

"Well, some time ago, it was said that the strong storm seemed to have disappeared due to the explosion, but the entire Mitakihara City is now in a period of reconstruction. Therefore, ordinary people are not allowed to enter for the time being. There are military checkpoints around. It seems that the rehabilitation work will start after confirming that the underground facilities in the city are no longer threatening. If you want to visit Takihara City, you have to change your plan and find another place!"

"That's what you said. By the way, do you have today's paper here?"

"Yes, my guest, you still have the habit of reading newspapers, come on, newspapers."

"Thank you."

Smiling, he took the newspaper handed over by the boss with both hands. Zheng Yi first flipped to the front page and glanced at the date, then flipped to the important news and read it carefully, then returned the newspaper in his hand to the boss.He quickly picked up the rice bowl and swept away the thick omelette and octopus sausage that had cooled down. Finally, he put down the money on the menu and put it on the counter to stand up.

"Thank you for the hospitality. Boss, your craftsmanship is great. I will come again if I have the opportunity."

"Where, as long as it suits your taste."

"Then I will take my leave first, thank you for your reminder."

"You're welcome, chatting with young people is one of my hobbies, take your time."

Waving to the enthusiastic boss, Zheng Yi gently closed the sliding door behind him. Standing at the door of the store, Zheng Yi raised his head to look at the sun that was gradually moving towards the center of the sky, and then glanced at the thickly dressed crowd on the street.As time went by, the street became more and more lively.

However, this excitement could not make Zheng Yi smile knowingly at the thriving and smooth daily life as usual.

His heart was already so heavy that he didn't have the leeway for now.

"Six months..."

Recalling the date he saw in that newspaper, Zheng Yi subconsciously gritted his teeth.

Compared with the [today] when I entered the witch's enchantment, the [today] here is a full six months apart, and this is no longer a problem that can be explained by jet lag.

It's like another world--

and many more.

other world?

Akatsuki Homura's time travels backwards, and the different endings of different world lines that are constantly reincarnated. After entering the witch's enchantment, he came to this world of [Mitakihara has been destroyed] with subtle timing—if all these things are connected together , the answer pointed to is only...

After tidying up the somewhat messy collar, Zheng Yi took a deep breath.

Although it can only be regarded as conjecture so far, but——

"Gears, engaged."

-

Without canceling her transformation, Kyoko already knew the relationship between the witch and the magical girl from the words in the diary or notebook.

A magical girl is nothing but an immature witch, an [egg].With the passage of time, every time the magical girl fights, she will get closer to the witch. Even if she relies on the witch's lament to purify, as the incoming witch becomes stronger, the magical girl's soul gem will be more polluted. It will develop to the point where no matter how you hunt and kill witches, it will be difficult to fill up the purification.And even if you don't do anything, the emotional fluctuations in your life will cause the soul stone to gradually become cloudy.Even if this process is relatively slow, one day the magic girl's soul gem will be completely covered by pitch black and filth.

At that time, the magical girl who is the "egg" will mature.

With despair as nourishment and magical girls as [eggs], a monster called a witch was born.

This is the fate of magical girls.

The moment Kyoko heard this information, her first reaction was to not believe it.Even if there is indeed that person's demeanor between the lines, how can a girl who is involved in it immediately believe such words?

That would be tantamount to letting a girl admit that her time is numbered.

But soon, Kyoko chose to believe those words.Not only because of the perseverance honed in such a life, but also because of some words about the author himself in that notebook.

It turned out that the man would be afraid too.

It turned out that the man would be sad too.

It turned out that the man would cry too.

Even if he has the power to be called a god or a devil, that man is still willing to live as a human being.

Kong Tiaozheng is neither a demon nor a god, but a weak and stubborn human being.

He will be injured, and he will also die. The man who seems to be immortal just made himself an [immortal body].

Apart from these things, what really made Kyoko decide to carry out the current action was the last event mentioned in the notebook.

——Six months ago, Masayoshi Kujo chose to face the oncoming Witch Night alone in Mitakihara.
