Is it because I fell on my head?
"It's really hard to think of other things. My head hurts so much... ah, doesn't it hurt anymore?"
After scratching and scratching, Ash found that the massive bleeding on his head seemed to have stopped. So he continued to hold the black and white light dumpling with stitching marks in his arms, and Ash continued to explore the strange place like a curious baby.
Along the way Ash saw a lot of scenery that should have been beautiful and beautiful just through fantasy, but buildings such as castles and gardens were now all broken into ruins along with these plots of land. Among them, Ash also saw the corpses of many cute little animals lying in various places as innocent victims.
Countless memories visible to the naked eye told him about the beautiful past here, but Ash could only see a mess.
"What happened to make it look like this?"
What's this? Why did I encounter this situation as soon as I started, but I don't know if this is normal.
Regrettably, since he couldn't remember anything and no one could explain it to him, Ash could only dig a hole and bury a few small animals at hand in it.
But just this move caused another change to happen in front of Ash.
"Who are you? How did you get here?"
Looking at the many light balls floating over and gathering around to ask him nervous questions, Ash thought that they should be the souls of these little animals.
According to this, this broken world should be full of ghosts after death, right? But I don't seem to be afraid at all.
"My name is Ash. As for how it came about, of course it fell from the sky!"
"What, why do humans fall from the sky?" When the souls were confused about his confident question, Ash took the first step to take back the right to speak from them.
"Rather than this, why don't you explain to me what all this is about?"
So after all the explanations from these aggrieved "souls", Ash, who filtered out valuable information, roughly understood what was going on.
"This world was originally called "Fairy Kingdom". In other words, you were actually a natural product called 'elves' who lived and worked in this world in peace and contentment?"
It sounds like a creature that only exists in fairy tales... Well, what is a fairy tale?
"Then the world suffered a catastrophic disaster a few days ago and turned into the post-apocalyptic appearance it is now. Even you were all killed and only your souls were left?"
"Yes... our King tried their best but still failed to prevent the disaster..." Even in the state of their souls, Ash could still hear their sad voices. "It won't take long for us to completely dissipate... Wuwu, we Fairy Kingdom will eventually disappear completely."
"Maybe this is the legendary end of the world coming early..."
"That's right, it's a pity."
Although I feel a little sad for these "dead souls" who have suffered unreasonable disasters, since it has already happened and cannot be undone, it seems that I will become the last tombkeeper of "Fairy Kingdom" when I first arrive.
"Woo, this Ash-sensei, it seems we can only meet again in the next life..."
"Huh? Wait, that's not right."
This uncle seems to be quite powerful. Isn't he the kind of person who can't do anything?
"I tell you, you don't want to just disappear like this, along with the traces of its existence, right?"
"Of course I don't want to!" The souls who were shaking with excitement soon fell down again. "But there's nothing we can do, we're already dead..."
"Isn't this a problem? I'm asking you, as elves, don't you want to continue to live in this world in your own way just like you did before you were alive, instead of being alone in despair after some bullshit disaster took everything away?!"
If the past cannot be undone, then just create something new!
At this moment, the man exuding incomparable aura caused all the souls in the entire kingdom to gather in front of him involuntarily.
"Of course, of course I do!"
I'm going to show off next, so give me some cool power!
Thinking like this, Ash naturally asked the "thing" in his arms. Ash didn't remember anything, but he quite naturally knew how to trust Him.
"[Hmm.]"
After the black and white light group gradually transformed into some kind of animal shape and attached to Ash's waist, the chain turned into a belt and was locked around Ash's waist. The black and red colors wrapped around his whole body. The extremely luxurious armor that resembled the evil king in the legend became Ash's "mask" at this moment.
"So handsome! What is this?" Ash was very satisfied and wanted to ask Him for his name.
"[This is Kamen Rider, the name... is Dark Kiva. (Dark Moon Rider).]"
"Really? Then from today on, I will be Kamen Rider!"
Looking back at the elven souls who were stunned by their sudden "transformation", Ash, who transformed into Dark Kiva, walked towards the ruins on the top with steps that he did not recognize.
"Good ambition. Death is not the end. I can give you what you want even after death!"
"In exchange!"
Raising his hands and waving the silver cloak behind him, with his back facing the huge moon wheel in the sky, Ash declared to the elves without hiding his ambition.
"From today on, you must be loyal to me and surrender to me!"
"Honor me as your new king!"
Chapter 1 The music of that day and the dream of that day
"From today on, you must be loyal to me and surrender to me!"
"Honor me as your new king!"
He was clearly sitting on the rubble piled up on top of the ruins of the castle, but Ash was exuding the majesty of the king as if he were sitting on his own throne.
"You must be like a gear, devoting everything you have to me and my kingdom!"
The goal that came out of his mouth naturally made Ash find it quite interesting.
"How is it possible that such a thing can be said suddenly?" When the elves retorted in a matter-of-fact manner, Ash threw even more heroic nonsense like a barrage of cannonballs on the faces of these elven souls with different expressions.
"In this case, I will come as your king to find a way to restore your physical body!"
"No longer wandering aimlessly, but looking for a new land to make our new country!"
"Believe me, I will lead you to the promised land you have never seen before! Don't ask me how I do it, you just need to believe that I can do it!"
When the extremely arrogant and completely natural words came out of Ash's mouth, the elves were naturally in complete disbelief. Countless doubts and suspicions were cast at him, but all they received were the same unreasonable confidence.
"Can it really be done?"
There is no reason at all, but it is extremely pure!
There is no reason... these naturally pure elves can't help but want to believe his words!
"Then...Lord Ash, please guide us!"
"Okay, starting from today!"
Looking at the group of elven souls who bowed to him and his first subjects, Ash, who was sitting on the throne of the ruins, crossed his legs and raised his legs high.
"I am the king!"
Today, "Fairy Kingdom", which once only existed in legends in different worlds, has perished.
On the same day, "Black Night Kingdom" belonging to Ash was located on the site of the original Fairy Kingdom——
Established.
"?~"
When the music that was very far away but seemed very close came from the direction of the wind, the vague feeling made the girl with her upper body leaning on the table relax her slightly thick brows.
The clear and melodious music seems to be filled with smart and subtle romance. Is this the sound of a violin?
No, this charming sound seems to convey a unique warmth and vitality. Is this actually the sound of a guitar?
This voice didn't just feel familiar to me, it was something I had actually heard.
I must have heard it a long, long time ago...
"?~"
"Wow~ It sounds so good!"
When I was still young, I saw his back on the lawn of a sea of flowers. At that time, I didn't understand much, but I was still attracted by the simple music, so I couldn't help but want to get closer to listen to his voice.
"Is my eldest brother a musician? He's so awesome!"
"No." After finishing the song, he put down the instrument that I didn't recognize at the time. "I am the king, the king."
"Hey~ It's so awesome!"
For me, who was most fascinated by Princess in fairy tales and movies at that time, the aloof King was also an object of curiosity that made my eyes twinkle.
Maybe he was attracted by the music, or maybe he was interested in the other person's self-proclaimed "king", which made me naturally chat with him about his dream of becoming "Princess", including the fact that he was laughed at by other children because of this.
"Since you said I was daydreaming or something, that's too much!" Still feeling aggrieved at this point, he took out the Dress-Up Keys given to him by another person from his pocket. "However, unlike them, Kanata said I can do it——"
"No, you are still just a tiny seed, and you cannot yet bloom a flower named 'Princess'."
"Why is this like this!" The eldest brother who had been chatting happily suddenly changed his attitude and denied himself. He must have cried when he was younger at the time. "Don't you think it's impossible for me to make it..."
"It's just that if I was just walking around daydreaming, I would definitely not be able to achieve it, and my efforts may not necessarily be rewarded." After lifting the instrument on his shoulder, the elder brother gently touched my hair. "But you know what? The so-called dream sometimes makes people sad, but sometimes it makes people feel good from the bottom of their hearts. It will always feel like this no matter whether it comes true or not."
"So there is no doubt that your dream is still shining even if it is just a seed."
The road to your dreams will be difficult and even painful. Even so, do you want to continue to shine?
"In this case, I will definitely work hard to realize my dream of becoming Princess!"
It will definitely come true!
After the elder brother who played music took his hand back, he put a strange-looking whistle into my hand.
"Then, when your dreams will shine brightly one day."
"Yao, I'll come with you again..."
Why do you know my name?
"HaruHaru~"
Hey, wait! This voice doesn't seem to come from here. Is it wandering around the set?
"Haruka, why did you fall asleep?"
"Eh?"
Private Noble Academy's second Student Council In the room, Haruno Haruka, who has short brown-red fluffy hair, raised the crystal at the corner of his mouth and rubbed his sleepy eyes to wake up under the gaze of his friends and two elves.
"Oops! The sun was so nice after class today that I accidentally fell asleep on the table..."
"Really, we had promised to take the "Princess Lesson (Princess course)" of "Hope Kingdom" together today, but Yao actually fell asleep while waiting for someone!"
"Did you sleep too late last night~Puff?"
Feeling the two "Hope Kingdom" elves next to him showing concern and doubts, Haruka also laughed a little sheepishly.
"Haha, maybe so."
Not only did I fall asleep, but I also had a dream about my childhood. Ah~ How can I be so embarrassed to tell everyone about this!
"However, Haruka looks very happy."
When she was embarrassed about how to explain, the blue-haired girl who flicked her ponytail at the side couldn't help but laugh cutely when she thought of Haruka's sleeping face. "You were still humming even when you fell asleep. Did you think of something good?"
The serious and careful Student Council President in the Noble Academy, and even Kaito Minami, who is respectfully called "sister" by the school girls, are now watching the slightly embarrassing side of their best friend together.
"Ah, this..."
"What's the matter? Is it something you're shy about?" The girl's originally feverish face suddenly felt the touch of fingers again. It was another girl with straight bangs who was enjoying the soft touch.
In contrast to Haruno Haruka, who has an "ordinary" appearance, Amanogawa Kirara, who is naturally sparkling and beautiful just from the looks alone, and even appeared on the cover of a model magazine at a young age, is blinking at the side and looking forward to her answer.
"It's not just because of the song. I'm very curious to see HaruHaru with such an expression. Of course, it's not convenient to say anything."
As for Haruno Haruka, surrounded by such two "petals", it is as ordinary as a bud that Mirai has not yet had time to bloom.
"N-no more!"
Thinking of the words of her elder brother whose face was blurred in the dream, the girl who mustered up inexplicable courage suddenly stood up from her seat under the curious gaze of her companions.
"When I say so."
Letting go of the bulging cheeks, the melody of that piece of music in your mind still lingers in your mind.
"You are not allowed to laugh at me!"
