"My name is Meikoin Gates. I am a Kamen Rider who came to this era from 50 years later in order to prevent the most ferocious and evil demon king, the King of Demons. There is another Kamen Rider who came to this era with me.

Companion, her name is Tsukuyomi..."

After coming to this era, basically every alien knight event requires a similar self-introduction.

Therefore, after being watched by the conductor and hearing the conductor's words, Gates had no doubt that he was there and immediately began to introduce himself.

But this time, Gates had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by Ryotaro Nogami.

"Wait a moment!"

Ryotaro Nogami looked at Gates in astonishment and asked.

"Are you saying that you are not a person from the current era, but a person from the future who traveled through time 50 years later and came to this era, and you are here to change history!?"

As the guardian of the order of time and the King of Den, Ryotaro Nogami has been fighting to prevent the strange devil from changing history.

Therefore, when Gates said the above words, the first thing Ryotaro Nogami noticed was not "the most ferocious and evil King of Time", but "Gates traveled through time in order to change history."

thing.

——History cannot be changed!

Gates is naturally aware of this rule of time travel.

In the beginning, the reason why he wanted to eliminate the alien knights and destroy the Time Robbers' plan was because the Time Robbers had committed a felony that "changed history."

But as Ryotaro Nogami said...

Gates, who came to this era with the purpose of "changing history," is also committing a crime of the same nature.

It's just that Gates has subconsciously ignored this issue all this time.

——To save a hopeless future.

——In order to destroy the unbeatable Demon King.

But no matter what the reason is, guilt is guilt.

It's just that what Gates committed is not as bad as the Time Robbers.

But despite this, when Nogami Ryotaro exposed this matter, Gates was just... speechless.

Perhaps, the former Gates would still argue a few words...

For example, let's describe how gloomy the future will be after the Great Demonic Machine is raging, ruins are everywhere, and the population is only about half of the current era.

For another example, let's describe how powerful the King of Demons is and how despairing he is.

This was used to emphasize his helplessness and compulsion to make this choice.

Because starting from the past and preventing the birth of the Demon King was the most promising way he could think of to "defeat" the future Demon King and save that gloomy future.

For this reason, he would not hesitate to bear the serious crime of "changing history"!

However, the various experiences he has experienced since coming to this era, coupled with the vacillation not long ago, have made Gates lose his original spirit.

Gates acquiesced without making any excuses.

Ryotaro Nogami, who got this answer from Gates' expression, immediately turned to look at the commander with a frown.

"Captain!"

Ryotaro Nogami asked the commander.

"Is it okay if they do this...?"

The "they" here refer to Gates, and the companion who came to this era with him in Gates' narration, Tsukuyomi.

However, when the commander heard this, he just looked back at Ryotaro Nogami calmly.

"It doesn't matter."

The commander smiled meaningfully.

"Their situation is special and will not affect the running of time."

"special?"

Hearing what the commander said, Nogami Ryotaro was immediately stunned, and then his eyebrows suddenly furrowed even more tightly.

"But, Captain, I remember you once said that no one, no matter who they are, can travel through time without a ticket or pass (Knight Pass)... Absolutely not!"

"Yes, I did say that."

The commander did not deny what he had said, but...

"Ryotaro, that's the rule of 'whether you can travel through time in a den-liner', and they came to this era in another time machine."

Ryotaro Nogami: “???”

Ah, how can you explain it this way?

Ryotaro Nogami was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly accepted the explanation from the commander, and then turned back to the original question.

"But even so, as beings that do not belong to the current time, will their activities in this era really not have an impact on history? What's more, they still come with the purpose of 'changing history'..."

Ryotaro Nogami really couldn't understand.

You must know that any small change from the "past" may trigger huge changes in the "future".

And what Gates and others are doing... is obviously very dangerous, isn't it?

As for Gates’ reason for doing this…

Prevent the birth of the most ferocious and evil demon king?

Ryotaro Nogami understands, but does not agree.

After all, if we really want to talk about reasons, can we say that the reasons of the strange demon gods led by Kai who fought with him in the past are wrong?

They want to "change history" in order to prevent their own time from disappearing.

Faced with these doubts of Ryotaro Nogami, the commander answered him like this.

"Yes, even so, history is still correct history."

"..." Ryotaro Nogami shook his head, "I still don't understand it at all."

Hearing this, the commander smiled.

"No one can fully understand...especially after the birth of the King of Time, no one can fully understand."

The commander said to Ryotaro Nogami.

"However, whether you understand or not, time is still flowing. This is enough... isn't it?"

Hearing these familiar words, Nogami Ryotaro was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

"……I see."

He understood what the commander meant...and chose to trust the commander's judgment.

Then, after this conversation with the commander, Ryotaro Nogami discovered that the commander didn’t need Gates to introduce himself at all... It’s even unclear that the commander knew Gates better than Gates knew himself.

I know more about myself.

Also, as the owner and commander of the time train den-liner who has access to the Akashic records and is constantly traveling in time in order to protect the correct passage of time, it is normal for the time train den-liner to know a little more than the average person.

As for how much the commander knows...it depends on how much access the commander has to the Akashic records.

In fact, the person who really needs Gates to introduce himself is Ryotaro Nogami!

The conductor just politely handed over the explanation task to Gates.

Therefore, this time, without the commander having to speak, Nogami Ryotaro, who had already figured this out, took the initiative to say to Gates:

"Sorry, I interrupted you just now... please continue telling."

"Ah... um."

Gates' response was slightly delayed by half a beat.

Because, just when Nogami Ryotaro was puzzled by the commander's words, Gates was also puzzled...and fell into a kind of shock of self-doubt.

It turns out that he has been in this era for so long, but he has not affected the history of the birth of the King of Demons at all?

Thinking this way, Gates couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Well, it would be a lie to say that he had no premonition about this matter.

After all, from his first encounter with Tokiwa Shogo to now, as the number of knight watches in Tokiwa Shogo's hands increases, Tokiwa Shogo's power has been growing stronger...

Shogo Tokiwa is making great strides on his way to becoming the Demon King of Time.

There was no hesitation or confusion.

Tokiwa Shougo's determination to become the king has never changed.

The only thing that has changed is that as he gets along with Tokiwa Shogo, he is no longer as determined as he was at the beginning to kill the Tokiwa Shogo of this era without hesitation in order to prevent the birth of the demon king.

While I was uneasy about Tokiwa Shougo's strength becoming stronger, I couldn't make up my mind to get rid of this uneasiness...

Hesitation, hesitation, hesitation...
To be continued...
