Chapter 21 - 21. The Wishful Thinking Is Really Loud

Swartz looked at Gates and said, "Nice to meet you, Kamen Rider Gates. My name is Swartz. Your actions are hindering our plan. Be honest with me."

Suddenly, Gates' body became uncontrollable. He was lifted into the air, his feet dozens of meters above the ground!

The audience from the three realms gasped, their faces filled with worry.

"What if he falls? That could be very dangerous!"

"I don't allow you to have any opinions!" Swartz said with pride, his tone confident and condescending.

Then, the space around Gates fluctuated, and the time freeze was lifted! Gates began falling rapidly!

In his current state, Gates couldn't change a thing. He was completely powerless to stop his fall.

The audience watched in horror, unable to bear the thought of Gates falling to his doom. Would he crash into the ground like a broken doll?

But just as things seemed grim, a long belt appeared, wrapping itself around Gates' body and pulling him back toward a platform on the stairs. The camera zoomed in, revealing the figure of none other than Woz!

The audience, both in the three realms and beyond, breathed a collective sigh of relief. They had been so worried about Gates, but now he was safe, thanks to Woz's timely intervention.

On the barrage, the viewers reacted:

"Huh? Woz saved him? Why would he help him?"

"Yeah, didn't he tell Sougo not to get too close to Gates?"

"He must have been hoping that Gates would get into trouble!"

"This story is full of surprises!"

Swartz, observing the unexpected turn of events, said to Gates, "When did you start standing on his side? This was my miscalculation. I'll find another chance to deal with you next time."

The audience couldn't help but send messages on the barrage:

"Oh my god, Swartz looks so powerful, but he's actually afraid of Woz!"

"Woz must be very strong!"

"Maybe his origins are more complex than we thought!"

"They all know each other. I'm so curious about their relationship!"

On screen, Gates asked Woz, "What's your reason for saving me?"

Woz replied calmly, "I saved you because of our past friendship. Why don't we use this opportunity to make peace?"

"If the Demon King has a companion like you, it will make him even more powerful."

Gates' expression changed, his face darkening. "Shut up," he snapped, his voice full of anger. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll show you just how powerful I am!"

Woz chuckled softly. "Really? If I remember correctly, I've never lost to you."

Gates snorted coldly. "That was in our era, but in this moment, I won't let you have your way!"

With that, Gates attacked Woz, but Woz only moved slightly, positioning himself effortlessly on the railing.

"You b*****d!" Gates shouted, anger radiating from him.

He attacked again, but this time, Woz flew directly to the roof, evading Gates' strike completely.

The audience in the three realms couldn't help but express their surprise.

"Oh my god, these two knew each other before!"

"I have no idea what their relationship is, but it's definitely tense!"

"Woz is so strong. He can fly to the roof just like that!"

Gates, slamming his fist into the railing in frustration, said coldly, "You want me to become Zi-O's partner? You're just dreaming!"

With that, Gates turned and walked away. There was nothing more he could do to Woz.

Woz, watching Gates leave, smiled playfully. "That's a pity."

Later, after the wizard Hayase returned to his residence, he found that Aura was already waiting for him in his room. The audience watching this moment was quite surprised.

"Damn, these time robbers, how do they always manage to show up at the most unexpected times?"

"Yeah, but I'm so happy to see Aura again! She's still as beautiful as ever!"

"As long as Aura could be my girlfriend, I'd be willing to live in a mansion and become a billionaire!"

"You're so scheming, I heard you were like this in Fontaine! You're so shameless."

"I've never seen someone so shameless!"

In the picture, when the wizard Hayase saw Aura, he was startled and stepped back a few paces.

"Who are you? Where did you come from?" he asked, confusion and fear in his voice.

"I'm a time robber, Aura," she replied calmly and confidently. "Are you in the same group as that boy?"

The wizard Hayase, grabbing onto any hope he could find, answered eagerly, "You came at the right time! I've been exposed… two people like me attacked me!"

He was terrified and desperate. With the appearance of this person, perhaps he could finally escape danger!

Aura, sitting on the ground and wearing black over-the-knee boots that revealed her slender, white thighs, stood up. Her outfit caught the attention of many viewers, who stared at the screen.

The audience reacted:

"Wow, Aura's outfit is stunning!"

"Her legs… so beautiful! I can't take my eyes off her!"

"Look at her, she's so cool and confident!"

Aura calmly responded to Hayase, "Are you talking about Zi-O and Gates?"

"Yes!" the wizard Hayase answered nervously. "What should I do? Should I hide for now? If I can avoid them, there might still be hope!"

Aura nodded thoughtfully. "Well, there's only one thing you must do."

The wizard Hayase's eyes widened. "Really? What do I need to do?"

Aura continued, her tone serious, "You need to become the new king we're supporting."

The wizard Hayase's face went pale, and he dropped the cup of water in his hand. "A new king?" he stammered. "I-I'm not suited for that! I'm too cowardly to lead anything. I can't handle the responsibility!"

Aura, not showing any emotion, continued, "If you want to be that king, you'll have to endure more pain than you've ever known before."

The wizard Hayase was terrified. This was not what he wanted. He was the kind of person who shied away from conflict and discomfort. The very idea of taking on such a challenge filled him with dread.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting their conversation. The wizard Hayase froze in place, his heart racing. Could it be Sougo and the others?

The voice from outside called out, "Hayase!"

He sighed in relief. "It's Nagayama!" he murmured.

Aura stood up, heading toward the window. "I'll leave now. Do as you please."

The wizard Hayase quickly moved to open the door.

"Nagayama!" he greeted the person outside. "What's going on?"

Nagayama, standing in the doorway, said, "Hayase, can we talk outside?"

The scene shifted to Sougo and Tsukuyomi, who had come to speak with the wizard Hayase's boss, a beautiful woman wearing a suit and skirt. Her plump figure and graceful demeanor caught the attention of many.

Sougo spoke up, "Are you the one who manages Hayase?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, I've been managing him. Why?"

Tsukuyomi asked, "Has he been performing here recently?"

The woman responded, "No, when he first arrived, he was working behind the scenes. I didn't even know he could perform magic!"

Sougo looked curious. "Do you remember when he started doing magic?"

The woman thought for a moment. "I think it was on December 25th, six years ago."

Sougo's eyes widened. "Are you sure?"

The woman nodded. "Yes, I remember it clearly because that was the day someone proposed to me."

The audience, watching from the three realms, was left in suspense, eagerly awaiting what would happen next.

"Wow, six years ago on Christmas? This is getting interesting."

"I wonder who proposed to her. Could it have anything to do with Hayase?"

"This is getting more complex by the minute!"

And that's where the story stands now—suspenseful and full of surprises!
