Kamen Rider: Prince of Shadow

When did the decadence plot start? Nobuhiko can no longer remember clearly, but he remembers that Saya in the movie version said that Kado Yashi disappeared a year ago in the movie version.

Now Saya and Kado Yaji are still very young. It is conservatively estimated that Nobuhiko will have to wait at least a year or two before the plot begins. He is already prepared for this - the flow of time in different worlds is different. It's time to go on vacation.

In this way, with nothing to do, he focused on his housekeeping skills - cooking to be precise. It's not surprising that he was like this. People always have to find something to kill time. It just so happened that Nobuhiko was quite good at cooking in his previous life. Interested, even when I chose a job, I chose a company that would provide public rental housing, where I could live alone, it was very comfortable, and I could do whatever I wanted.

Of course, a lot of things happened during this process, such as buying raw hairy tripe but not frying it until it was cooked and steaming it for half an hour.

Another example is frying beans and adding some water to prevent them from being cooked enough to make beans stew.

It was good now, because the modified human body allowed him to learn everything very quickly, but within a few months, his housekeeping skills were almost impeccable.

However, this did not change that Kadoyaji still guarded him like a thief and never let him go to the second floor at night. Nobuhiko didn't care and kept following the online tutorials to perfect himself as a housekeeper with a wild background. Bring the villa to life.

In this way, time passed day by day, winter turned to spring, and things finally turned around.

One afternoon, Kadayaji returned home through the wall of time and space. Nobuhiko, who was ironing clothes, said without raising his head:

"I came back a little late this time, Shi."

"You are obviously a butler, so you should add some honorifics."

"Didn't you say you don't care about that?"

Nobuhiko said nonchalantly and continued to iron the suit in front of him. Kadoyaji was reluctant today:

"Then why did you ask Xiaoye to use honorifics?"

"I was summoned by her, not by you. This needs to be made clear."

After ironing the last wrinkle, Nobuhiko nodded with satisfaction, then started folding it with ease. Seeing the neatly folded shirt, Kadoyaji said pointedly:

"The housekeeper's skills are becoming more and more proficient."

"You are somewhat talented at part-time work. Speaking of which, you seem to be talking a lot today."

After putting the clothes in the cabinet, Nobuhiko turned to look at Kado Yashi.

Compared with the previous trip, this time the trip was obviously longer, and Kado Yashi himself also had a more dusty look, and his temperament was more conspicuous. In the past, Kado Yashi seemed to be just for fun, but now , Kado Yashi seemed to be carrying something on his back.

Nobuhiko had a vague suspicion in his heart, but he kept silent. He had no intention of taking any action until Overhaul Card appeared in front of him.

And Kado Yashi looked at Nobuhiko and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

It's no wonder that although Kado Yashi traveled to other worlds, he didn't make many close friends. In his own world, because he had to take care of his sister, he didn't have anyone else who was particularly close to him.

He couldn't tell Xiaoye about this matter, but Kado Yashi couldn't help but want to talk to others. After all, this matter was too big, and the lives of several worlds were weighing on him. The pressure made him breathless.

After thinking about it, it seemed that the only person he could talk to was Nobuhiko Akizuki.

Although Nobuhiko is still a familiar stranger to him, after spending time together for the past few years, the relationship between the two parties has reached a stage where it is more than a colleague and less than a friend.

Just as Kadashi hesitated, Nobuhiko spoke:

"If you don't want to say it, don't worry about it. If you believe me, I consider myself a good listener."

"You guy..."

Seeing Nobuhiko's indifferent expression, Kado Yashi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He sat down on the chair and tried his best to look arrogant:

"Hey, I'm thirsty. You, the housekeeper, have neglected your duty!"

"My acting skills still need to be refined. You will only make people feel like you are still young, young master..."

Nobuhiko joked, turned around and went to the kitchen, taking out the tea that had been prepared from the refrigerator.

Lemon black tea, made with lemon, honey, black tea, and rock sugar, is the most suitable drink to relieve the heat in the hot summer.

"Huh...it's so sour. Can't you put more sugar in it next time?"

"The sweetness is a bit too much for Miss Xiaoye, you can add more."

"You guy, don't forget that it's me who pays your salary."

Kadashi seemed to be angry, but he still obediently took the bottle of rock candy from Nobuhiko's hand and poured one in.

But looking at the rock sugar melting in the black tea, Kado Yashi fell into silence for a while. After a long time, he said:

"Nobuhiko, if one day you find out that the world is about to be destroyed soon, and someone comes to you and tells you that you can only save the world by killing some people, what will you do?"

"·······"

Kado Yashi lowered his head, but did not hear a response. Then he looked up hesitantly, only to find Nobuhiko looking at him with a strange look.

"What's wrong?"

"You don't have a fever, do you?"

Nobuhiko looked like "You're kidding me", then he seemed to think about it seriously and said:

"I will choose to catch the person who is looking for you first, and then use all possible methods to solve and torture him to find out the truth."

"the truth?"

"Isn't this what movies are like? People who say such things are usually villains."

"You guy, I'm talking about business."

Kadashi complained, thinking that Nobuhiko was making fun of him.

Nobuhiko smiled without any excuse, and then continued:

"If it were me, I wouldn't agree easily."

"well?"

"I cherish my life very much. Taking my life just to save the world is too far away for me. I don't have such a high consciousness, nor am I interested in playing the trolley problem. I can help others within the reach of my hands. It’s already the limit for me, what’s more, why should I have to bear this kind of difficulty on my shoulders?”

Nobuhiko poured himself a cup of black tea and said leisurely.

This answer surprised Kado Yashi. He frowned, looked at Nobuhiko, and said:

"You are avoiding the point. Don't forget that if the world is destroyed, everything you hold dear will be in vain."

"Then I will do my best to prevent the destruction of the world. If I try my best to prevent the destruction of the world, it doesn't matter to me. However, if it comes to the last moment, I might actually kill those people... "

"It's like I didn't say it before. You are such a cunning guy."

Kado Yashi said dissatisfiedly.

But Nobuhiko didn't care. He stared at the lemon in the black tea and said calmly:

"People change. I can't guarantee what decision I will make in the future, so I don't like to jump to conclusions. However, there is a person I like very much. He once encountered a confused situation and finally made a decision. The decision was made.”

"Um?"

"That sentence is - 'Do what you think is right'!"

Nobuhiko picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, while Kadoyaji fell into deep thought. He stared straight ahead, dazed and motionless.

Suddenly, the lonely and melodious sound of the piano came from upstairs. This sound woke up Kadashi. He seemed to have made up his mind, and drank the lemon tea in one gulp, and then said to Nobuhiko seriously:

"Mr. Qiuyue, Xiaoye...can I please give it to you?"

For the first time, he used honorifics.
