Love Live and Kamen Rider 14

"sui.sui.suisuisui"

A blue magic circle appeared above Wizard, passing through him from top to bottom, and his originally red figure was replaced by blue.

Cirno, who had stood up by this time, gathered elements in front of her, and the blue water elements transformed into a beam of light that rushed toward Wizard and spirit. Both of them dodged at the same time.

"Junior, if you don't want to hurt your companion, then fight using the same elemental power as her. It can disperse her power, and it won't harm her."

"Understood, Senior."

Hearing the reminder, spirit took out the Black Tortoise card to change his form.

"Armor Change - Black Tortoise"

A blue light flashed, and spirit appeared on the battlefield in his Black Tortoise form. At the same time, he took out a weapon card and inserted it into the card slot.

"Weapon Manifestation - Shield Armor"

Seeing that her attacks were ineffective, Cirno gathered energy again to fire a beam of light. At the same time, ice crystals of various sizes appeared around her, chaotically destroying the surroundings.

"Senior, what should I do?"

"Subdue her and then enter her mental world. Use this."

After explaining the method, Wizard took out a ring and showed it to spirit.

"But before that, you just need to keep her under control."

After saying this, he switched the sensor to his right hand and placed a ring on his finger.

"Roubachi Magic Touch Go"

"Defend please"

Wizard condensed a water shield to withstand Cirno's attacks while thinking of a way to subdue her.

"What should I do? How can I save you, Cirno!"

Holding the shield and forced into a passive defense, spirit roared anxiously.

'If your elements are controlled by the enemy or expelled by the enemy's power, then your attacks will be weakened or rendered ineffective.'

The words that suddenly flashed into his mind made spirit perk up.

"Senior, I have a way. Cirno, let me show you the results of my hard work during this time."

Raising the Shield Armor, spirit actively met Cirno's beam of light while rotating the shield. He channeled his mental energy into the water elements on the shield, and as the beam ended, the water elements dispersed on the shield were gathered into a vortex.

"Black Tortoise Secret Technique - Absolute Zero"

The center of the Shield Armor suddenly split open, and streams of water flowed toward the center as dots of white light appeared within. Following spirit's roar, the Absolute Zero beam rushed toward Cirno, and the frigid laser encased Cirno in ice.

"Kill... kill me... please..."

Perhaps the intense cold within the water elements stimulated Cirno, allowing her to temporarily regain her sanity. Cirno looked at spirit and spoke intermittently.

"No, Cirno, I will definitely save you, because I am your companion!"

Hearing spirit's firm words, Cirno, who wanted to say something more, lost consciousness.

Coming before Cirno, Wizard said to Takai Geki.

"As her most important companion, then you shall be her final hope!"

After saying this, he took out a ring and placed it on Cirno's hand.

"Roubachi Magic Touch Go"

He placed Cirno's right hand on the sensor.

"Engage please"

As a magic circle appeared in front of Cirno, Wizard nodded at spirit.

"Cirno, this time, it's my turn to save you."

After saying this, spirit passed through the magic circle into Cirno's mental world.

Heart of Moving Forward (14) (Contributed by reader Yuan Yi Xin Fei)

(Weather's Tip: Silence)

Arriving in Cirno's mental world. This was a land of pure white ice and snow, but now a black monster had appeared at the center. The black monster was rooted in the mental world, and the tentacles on its head were binding an illusory Cirno. However, this Cirno was only ten years old, and her flickering figure looked as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Cirno, I've come to save you."

Seeing Cirno, spirit ran toward the center.

"Idiot, why did you come here? Run away! Get out of here!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Cirno opened her eyes weakly. Seeing spirit, her eyes widened, and then she used all her strength to shout.

"No, Cirno, I will definitely save you! I will! Because we are companions!"

The response to Cirno was spirit's firm words, as he swung the Shield Armor, forming ice blades with the surrounding frost to slash at the monster's tentacles.

Hearing the reply, Cirno closed her eyes, simultaneously resolving that even if she were to die, she would not let spirit get hurt.

With a loud crash, the bound Cirno fell, only to be caught by Spirit, who retreated to a safe place.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"You really are an idiot."

After rescuing Cirno's spirit form, Spirit turned to face the monster.

"So you're the guy who's been torturing Cirno? Then let's settle the score once and for all."

"Armor Change - Armed - White Tiger"

Switching to the White Tiger form, Spirit leaped toward the monster Ithaqua. His fist, tipped with sharp tiger claws, descended with the force of a whirlwind and freezing ice. With a thunderous roar, Ithaqua shattered into a pile of flesh.

"Alright, that should do it."

"No, not yet. It isn't dead. You can't kill it, please, get out of here!"

"What?" Turning around to check, Spirit was suddenly whipped away by a tentacle.

"Wah—cough, cough, how is this possible?" Scrambling to his feet, Takai Geki looked at Ithaqua standing in the center, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Give up, just leave, I beg you." Cirno pleaded, tears streaming down her face.

"I won't. I'm not the kind of guy who abandons his companions." Standing up, Spirit charged at Ithaqua again, only to be whipped away once more.

At the same time, black energy coiled around Ithaqua, transforming it into a giant beast five zhang tall.

Spirit climbed back up, his expression unwavering as he charged at Ithaqua again and again, only to be knocked back every single time.

"I beg you, you idiot, get out of here, ahhh!" Cirno sobbed, choking out her plea through tears.

Struggling to his feet once more, Spirit suddenly spoke.

"You know, ever since I first met you, I've really liked you. Even if that has something to do with me being a lolicon, it doesn't change the fact that I like you. I like your smile, and I like the happy look in your eyes~"

Knocked back again, Spirit spoke with difficulty.

"I like your optimistic personality, and I like the way you tease me with your water elements. Seeing you like this, I finally understand the meaning behind possessing this power."

Standing up once more, Spirit faced Cirno.

"I will use this power to protect every smile in this world. I won't let any sorrow or despair try to taint them. Never! This is my conviction, the one I, Kamen Rider Spirit, will uphold for the rest of my life!"

"Geki! You really are a gentle idiot!" Hearing his words, Cirno froze, then a smile bloomed on her face. Though she looked a bit disheveled, it was a beautiful sight.

"Hahaha! I am just an idiot. Cirno, I really love your singing voice. So, my Queen, would you be willing to sing a song for your foolish knight?"

"Mm!" A weak Cirno wiped away her tears, sat on the ground with her legs tucked, and looked at Spirit with a gentle smile. As she parted her red lips, a moving, sweet voice rang out.

"I have never lied, I have never regretted."

"Was there ever such a day?"

"Until the day I met you."

As Spirit was knocked away again, he stood up and said, "I won't be knocked away this time. In my BGM, I am invincible!" After saying this, he took out a weapon card and inserted it into the slot.

"Weapon Manifestation - Steel Fang Blade"

Wielding the blade, Spirit swung it to form a massive icy storm, slashing toward Ithaqua.

"Until the day I met you."

"I am no longer alone."

"You're the only one."

"How could I have failed to notice?"

"Hahahaha!" Panting, Spirit leaped onto Ithaqua's body, continuously swinging his blade to unleash wind blades that sliced through the tentacles.

"The one who made me think that."

"Yes, it's only you, only your heart."

"You gave wings to me, who couldn't fly."

"And you set me free, didn't you?"

"When I close my eyes, I can feel you."

"Just by having you by my side"

"I feel like the earth is smiling whenever the wind blows"

A dazzling white light erupted from the mental world of Cirno, the intense radiance purifying the tainted energy. Ithaqua reverted to its original size, its body continuously weakening all the while.

"Even if you are not before my eyes"

"I can feel you by my side whenever I close them"

"Weapon Special Move - White Tiger Secret Technique - Roaring Tiger Skyward"

As the special move card was inserted into the weapon, a white tiger coalesced behind Spirit, roaring toward the heavens. Violent winds danced around the white tiger, its sharp fangs glinting with a cold light. Strands of Wind Chain coiled around Ithaqua, binding it so tightly it could not move. Spirit plunged the blade into the ground, took a few steps back, and assumed a charging stance. The white tiger behind her roared at the sky before charging toward Ithaqua. Spirit transformed into a blur, rushing toward Ithaqua, grabbing the blade she had left in the ground, and unleashing a continuous barrage of blade beams with a series of slashes. Simultaneously, the white tiger's claws and fangs tore into the target with savage fury, countless rays of light appearing all over Ithaqua's body.

"You gave wings to me, who could not take flight"

"And you taught me what love is"

"When I see heaven's skies in your eyes"

"In the sky after the evening rain"
