It's late September.

The continuous rain in the past two days makes people unconsciously feel heavy-hearted. The light in the polepole store is much dimmed. It is easy for middle-aged people like Dad to sit down and take a nap in the rainy afternoon.

Tokyo has a subtropical maritime monsoon climate, with neither severe cold in winter nor scorching heat in summer. There are several rainy seasons every year, and now it is the autumn rainy season from September to October.

There has been no Gurungi incident for more than a month, but the police officers searching the headquarters did not relax their vigilance, but were always preparing countermeasures.

The current situation can be said to be very clear. There are only a few Gurungi left, but each one will bring great harm to human society and must be given the highest degree of attention...

8:57 am.

Ryusuke Higashino prepared the last cup of coffee, one each for Godai, Nana, Dad and himself. Then they sat quietly in front of the TV and watched the morning news. This has almost become a habit.

Make it something they do every day.

And during this month, Ryusuke and his father continued to learn how to make many types of coffee, such as the 'Top of the Himalayas' and a coffee called Honduras SHG.

"It is reported that Gohara Tadahin, the illegitimate son of Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Tetsuo Gohara, will participate in the upcoming parliamentary election as a private secretary. However, Gohara Tadahin is only 25 years old this year.

Isn’t he qualified enough to be a member of the House of Representatives? Or maybe Tetsuo Gohara is deliberately protecting him, and everything has not yet been settled..."

While he was drinking coffee, a piece of news on TV suddenly caught Ryusuke's attention. He raised his head and looked at the man in a suit and leather suit who appeared in the background of the news on TV, frowning slightly in thought.

He remembered that in the novel he had read before time travel, the human identity replaced by the last Gurungi lion in the Coffin of Darkness was called Gohara Tadashi. I wonder if he was this guy?

He wasn't completely sure, because there had been cases where the Grunki from the Coffin of Darkness had chosen to mimic a different identity than in the original novel, such as sarubo. He remembered that in the novel, the Grunki mimicked a person named Tanaka.

But in the previous real situation, I got involved with Shota Asama...

However, even if the identity of Gohara Tadahin cannot be determined for the time being, he still remains highly suspicious and must not be taken lightly.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already nine o'clock. Ryusuke Higashino put down the coffee cup and patted Godai next to him: "Let's go, the time agreed with Mr. Ichijo is coming soon."

"Hmm..." Godai drank the rest of the coffee in one breath, wiped his hands and stood up.

Saburo Kadama was not surprised by this. In fact, Higashino and the others had agreed last night that they would go to Sakurako's research room at 9:30 this morning to hold a small meeting among their friends.

From a common point of view with common sense and tokusatsu dramas, this is equivalent to a meeting of the protagonist group.

When Godai went out, his father waved in front of the counter and said, "Yusuke, if you go out and have fun, it's best to find a girlfriend."

These 'parting words' immediately made Nana very dissatisfied: "Hey uncle, what are you talking about? Yusuke-san won't just find a girlfriend!"

"Really? I think Yingzi is very good, not casual, not casual at all..."

…

Near an underground shopping mall in Tokyo.

Rose Girl stepped on her boots and walked towards the buffalo monster who was already waiting here.

"Baberu, it's your turn."

"Humph, it's finally my turn!" The buffalo monster lowered his arms and snorted coldly.

On the tall building in the distance, the vulture monster was ready, holding the counting disk in his arms.

The Rose Girl was stunned when she stretched out the ring. Looking at the ring on the back of her hand, she unconsciously remembered that the white sky seemed to be longing for this.

She paused, then looked as indifferent as ever, inserted the ring into the ghost-faced belt of the buffalo Gurungi to complete the "timing", and also announced that the game belonging to the buffalo had officially begun.

…

9:18 am.

Ryusuke Higashino and Yusuke Godai came to Seongnan University, parked their motorcycles and walked in.

When passing by a teaching building, Ryusuke suddenly noticed that there seemed to be students asking questions from the teacher in front of the teaching building. With his current eyesight, although the distance was relatively far, he could still see clearly.

The teacher looked about fifty years old, with a pair of thick eyebrows that looked upright. Although he was answering questions for his classmates, he was very passionate when talking and laughing.

However, after seeing the teacher's face clearly, Higashino Ryusuke couldn't help but stop and raise his eyebrows: "That is... Senior No. 1?"

"Ah, what number one? Ryusuke-san, aren't you the unconfirmed number one?" Godai followed Ryusuke's line of sight in confusion and saw the teacher in the distance.

"Oh~ That's Professor Hongo Meng who teaches the public culture class. I have listened to his class before and his speech was very passionate!" Godai said with great interest, and deliberately lowered his voice to imitate Teacher Hongo's speaking style.

.

So when he passed there, Godai raised his hand vigorously and said hello loudly: "Teacher Hongo, good morning!"

His greeting was answered with an equally enthusiastic "Good morning". After seeing Godai, it only took a few seconds for Mr. Hongo to recall Godai Yusuke's name, and responded with a smile, and his tone of voice was genuine.

It is very similar to the imitation made by Fifth Generation just now.

Ryusuke Higashino looked at the identical face and smiled. It was indeed Hongo Takeo-senpai. Although he may not be a Kamen Rider in this world, he is still a respectable person.

This also seems to show that becoming a Kamen Rider is not unreasonable or accidental. Even if you have different destinies in different time and space, those qualities that should exist will never disappear because of this.

Afterwards, they came to Sakurako's archaeological research laboratory. Simply because they were walking with Higashino Ryusuke, Godai finally did not climb out of the window this time.

After entering the door, Kaoru Ichijo was already waiting for them, but according to him, he had just arrived.

After a while, Chun Xiuichi also arrived here soon as a member of the invited "protagonist group" because he was the special doctor No. 1 and No. 4.

The last person to come here was Enokida Hikaru. When he came in sweating profusely, he brought with him almost a large bag full of documents, which weighed several kilograms. It was not an easy task to bring them here.

Putting down a pile of documents, Enokida took the water handed by Sakurako and drank it in one gulp. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said with emotion: "This place is really nostalgic. The corridors and classrooms have not changed at all!"

"Huh? Did Ms. Enokida also graduate here? What a coincidence..."
