Kamen Rider: High Beam Rider - Starting with Saber

Chapter 12 Tsukasa Kadoya, Reversing Cause and Effect!

"You actually know me? I can't let you do anything reckless." Men Shishi transformed the card gun into a card sword, rubbed the blade in his hand, and took the initiative to slash at Lan Su.

Lan Su was taken to Toei's ancestral back mountain by Men Shishi using the Aurora Curtain's abilities.

The two exchanged blows, testing each other and neither using their full strength.

"You still haven't answered my question, kid."

Men Shishi dodged Lan Su's fist and created distance between them.

Seemingly recalling something amusing, Lan Su grinned mischievously and said, "Ah, I've heard of that. There's a pink devil who disguises himself as Agito every day, doing all sorts of bad things! It's you, isn't it, the naturally evil Decade!"

"Cough cough..."

Kamen Rider Decade's movements stiffened slightly, and someone noticed.

"Alright, tell me, why are you stopping me?"

After giving Xiaoming a minor annoyance, Lan Su didn't continue his attack; he was no match for the guy right now.

"Quite perceptive, kid." Menshishi deactivated his transformation, and Lan Su saw Menshishi's true face.

He was wearing a black suit and had a camera hanging around his neck; he looked almost exactly like the characters he'd seen on TV.

Seeing that Men Shishi had voluntarily deactivated his transformation, Lan Su also deactivated his transformation and waited for Men Shishi's reply.

"This is the first time I've met someone who looks somewhat like me." As he approached Lan Su, Men Shishi looked at Lan Su with curiosity.

Lan Su frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

After a moment's consideration, Men Shishi shared some of the information he had gathered with Lan Su.

"I haven't seen any other version of you at any point in this timeline, which means you and I are somewhat similar."

Not only that, I didn't see you in the original future either!

In other words, you shouldn't have been here at all!

"Oh, so what?" Lan Su said indifferently.

"People like us, if we interfere recklessly, often cause significant changes to the trajectory of the world, and as for the outcome..."

Men Shishi didn't say anything, but Lan Su could roughly guess what was going on.

Perhaps some changes will have a positive outcome, but there's always a chance of something going wrong, and then everything will be irreversible.

Menshi is unique; no matter how many world timelines there are, there is only one him.

Similarly, the same applies to Lanzhou and Suzhou.

"If I'm like you, why do some people know me? It means I exist in the future, in the past!"

Lan Su quickly grasped the crux of the problem: Men Shishi only has now, and he doesn't seem to be.

"Very perceptive, that's what makes you and me different," Monshishi couldn't help but praise.

"Well, you'll find out the answer to that question later."

I'm only here today because I'm offering you a well-intentioned reminder; whether you listen to it or not is up to you.

After finishing his speech, Men Shishi entered the Aurora Curtain and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Lan Su suddenly called out to Men Shishi.

"Is there anything else? I'll consider whether to answer you or not, depending on my mood." Men Shishi stopped in front of the aurora curtain.

"How did you endure such endless torment of wandering?"

After hesitating for a long time, Lan Su spoke with a somewhat hesitant tone.

This feeling of losing one's anchor and belonging can only be truly understood through personal experience; it evokes a sense of bewilderment, confusion, and helplessness.

Men Shishi turned to look at Lan Su, who instinctively avoided eye contact.

"At first, I was constantly driven away, lost because I couldn't find my own world."

"But later I realized that it didn't matter. As long as I'm with my friends, anywhere is my world."

Men Shishi, unusually, put aside his frivolousness and spoke earnestly to Lan Su behind his back, saying a few words of truth.

After speaking, Men Shishi was about to open the Aurora Curtain, but Lan Su stopped him again.

"Okay, let's wait a little longer!"

Monshi was already getting impatient. "What is it now?"

"Let's take a picture together!"

Lan Su took out the Angel Camera from Narac Space and waved it at the door.

……

"A funny little guy."

The Aurora Curtain Gatekeeper looked at the photo Lan Su had given him; it was a picture of him and Lan Su together.

"Hehe, so you'll keep doing bad things under the name of Agito every day."

After a slight annoyance to the doorman, Lan Su put the photo away. This was a photo of him and Xiao Ming, and he had to keep it safe!

"Oh dear, what an idiot of mine, I forgot to ask him to get an autograph!"

Lan Su patted his forehead, somewhat regretful.

"I'm back. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Upon returning to the restaurant, Lan Su apologized to Ze Mu and his wife.

Yaz stepped forward to greet him, "Lord Lansu, welcome back!"

"Ah, just right! Please try our cooking!"

Tetsuya pointed to the table, which was full of Chinese and American dishes.

"Wow, what a feast!" Looking at the long-awaited Chinese food, Lan Su couldn't help but swallow.

"Lord Lansu, please have a seat." Yaz stepped forward and pulled out a table and chair for Lansu.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Lan Su looked at Shelley and Tetsuya, and with their smiles and nods, Lan Su began his dry rice.

Pick up a piece of braised pork and put it in your mouth, and your taste buds will instantly explode with flavor!

"Mmm! This is the taste!"

Lan Su also sampled other dishes, including braised pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, and hot and sour mushroom soup…

Looking at Lan Su's blissful face, Yaz realized that this was the first time she had seen Lan Su so happy in the half-month since they had known each other.

"Is it really that delicious?" Yaz was a robot, so she didn't understand, but seeing Lan Su's happy expression, she silently made a note of it.

"I'm glad you like it. We've picked all your favorite dishes."

Shelley felt very honored and proud to see that Lan Su liked it so much.

"Oh, right!"

The next day.

Lan Su was enjoying lunch prepared by Ze Mu and his wife at the restaurant when two more people entered.

"Welcome... Ah! Little Brother! You're back!" When Shelley saw Xiangyi return, she hurriedly went up to hug her younger brother.

"Look, look who we've met!" Shelley pulled Xiangyi to the dining table and pointed to Lansu, who was enjoying his meal.

"Lansu!?" x2

Shoichi originally intended to let Tsukuyomi taste the food he made, so that she could get out of the troubles of amnesia and awakening the ability to stop time. Unexpectedly, he met Lan Su, who had been taken away by Decade, at the restaurant.

"Hmm... ah, hmm," Lan Su just wanted to focus on eating at the moment, and casually mumbled a few words.

"Oh, my apologies, who is this?" Shelley asked, seemingly surprised to see her brother had brought a girl she didn't recognize.

"My name is Tsukuyomi, nice to meet you." Tsukuyomi stepped forward and introduced herself very politely.

At the dining table, Tsukuyomi quietly awaited Shoichi's work.

Lan Su had already eaten his fill, and stared blankly at the ceiling with his eyes half-closed, while Yaz stood behind him, massaging Lan Su to help him relax.

"Here it comes!"

Shoichi brought over a plate of carefully prepared Provençal stew and placed it in front of Tsukuyomi.

"Lansu, Yaz, this is your favorite milk tea, please enjoy!"

"Sassiburi, Yaz, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Xiang Yi handed two cups of milk tea to Lan Su and smiled as he looked at Lan Su and Yaz.

He roughly realized that Lan Su in front of him probably didn't recognize him yet.

Yaz: "..."

"Mmm, delicious!"

"Delicious!"

Lan Su and Yue Du's voices rang out simultaneously, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Tsugami," Tsukuyomi said gratefully.

"Ah, actually my real name is Sawaki Tetsuya. I also had amnesia before, but when I regained my memory, I had already gained great power."

Shoichi wanted to comfort Tsukuyomi, since the two had similar experiences.

"So how did you do it?" Tsukuyomi was now desperate to know what she should do; she was extremely confused and afraid of her current power.

"Just try to live on, together with my friends and family!" Xiangyi looked at his sister and brother-in-law, then glanced at Lansuyaz.

"Don't overthink it. You are who you are. Just continue to get along with everyone the way you always have."

Lan Su casually remarked, "Young people just love to overthink things. Who hasn't had amnesia before?"

"I am who I am..." Tsukuyomi murmured softly.

Seeing the silent Tsukuyomi, no one disturbed her.

At this moment, Xiangyi sat down in front of Lansu.

Shoichi: "Aren't you curious how we all know you and Miss Az?"

Lan Su: "I think I understand."

Shoichi: "That's good. I was just wondering how to explain it to you."

Lan Su: "Back then... my milk tea was really delicious. Could you teach me how to make it?"

"Of course, no problem! Just a moment!" Xiangyi went up to the second floor of the restaurant, where the bedroom was located.

It seemed they had been prepared! Xiangyi took out a slightly yellowed notebook from his luggage and handed it to Lansu.

"Here, these are the recipes for milk tea and dishes that I've recorded over the years."

Looking at the thick notebook, the earliest entries appear to be over ten years old, while the newest ones seem to have been added recently.

Thank you!

Lan Su sincerely thanked him, feeling as if Xiang Yi was a friend they had known for many years.

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Lan Su and Mr. Jin Shang!"

After finishing her food, Tsukuyomi got up to thank the two of them and left the Agito Restaurant to find her companions.

"How enviable..." Lan Su watched Tsukuyomi's departing figure, a hint of envy in his eyes.

"As long as you keep moving forward, Lansu, you will also have your own companions!"

Xiangyi saw through Lansu's inner thoughts. He knew that Lansu always kept everything to himself and only wanted to solve things by himself.

"Ha ha."

Lan Su reached out and rubbed his nose sheepishly, looking rather embarrassed.

Xiang stood up and patted Lan Su on the shoulder. "Let's go! Let's go help those guys! I want to reclaim my strength too!"

"Hmm!" Lan Su didn't refuse, since things were nearing completion anyway.

Coming to the world of Zi-O this time was definitely the right decision.

Not only did I learn about some of the future directions, but I also became clear about my next goals.

Wouldn't this also be considered "reversing cause and effect"?

The only thing that puzzled Lan Su was that this shop shouldn't have been looked after by Zhenyu, right? Why did it become the Sawaki couple's business? And where did Zhenyu go?

"Never mind, we'll find out eventually!"

The future is truly something to look forward to!
