chapter 7

The next day, after eating breakfast, Shogo said hello to Tokiwa Junichiro and went out to school. Since it was a Saturday without classes, Shogo was going to meet someone. Not long after he left, two figures appeared at the door of the 9-to-5 Hall...

Maruyama Cafe is one of the top three coffee chains in the country. The café is a comfortable and clean place, and the faint aroma of coffee permeates the entire space. The staff silently makes every coffee, even if someone is talking, they subconsciously suppress their voices, seemingly unwilling to destroy this quiet atmosphere. It's an excellent place for office conversations.

Shogo was sitting in a cubicle of the café, symbolically placing a cup of coffee on the table. His eyes were indifferent as he listened to the report of a middle-aged woman wearing a black suit and holding a stack of documents on the other side.

The middle-aged woman named Komatsu Keko is the acting president of a financial company, and the real owner of this financial company is Shogo.

How could Tokiwa Shogo, who remembers his past life, not know the importance of wealth? Even in the world of Kamen Rider, money is an indispensable thing. Anyway, he will not live like someone who only needs a fat one to wear tomorrow. So with the ability to learn financial knowledge against the sky, he founded this financial company called 'SHI'.

He is only responsible for the control of the general direction, not for specific work matters. All the daily affairs of the company are responsible for the woman in front of him, and every once in a while Komatsu Keko will come over to report the latest situation of the company like today.

After a work report that lasted for more than ten minutes, Komatsu Keko, who said dry-mouthed, took a sip of the coffee in front of her and said, "President Shogo, this is the recent situation of the company. What other instructions do you have?"

Shogo said with a deep groan, "Retreat all the company's investments, and some unimportant stocks should be sold. We just need to ensure our basic market."

"Has President Tokiwa needed a lot of money lately?" Komatsu Keko hesitated and asked.

IF this is done according to Tokiwa Shogo, although the company can collect a large amount of money in the short term, it will lose a large amount of money relatively, and in the long run, it will undoubtedly kill chickens and take eggs

Shogo explained. "No, it's just that it hasn't been very peaceful recently, so I still collect the funds back for insurance, so as not to suffer the disaster of arrogance."

Komatsu Keko looked confused, "?"

Although she didn't understand the specifics, Komatsu will do anything that Shogo requests. This is the terrifying prestige accumulated by Shogo several times and leading a small company to a huge company today. Without reservation, she fully carried out Tokiwa Shogo's orders.

"Miss Matsuko, go get busy," Shogo got up to leave, then thought of something and turned his head to continue,

"Recently, there are fewer things in the company, you still come out less as well. Try to stay at home."

After speaking, he didn't care about Komatsu Keko's reaction and turned straight to leave.

In the face of monsters with superpowers, ordinary people are not much more powerful than ants. For Komatsu Keko, a loyal and competent subordinate, Shogo naturally will not be stingy. Reminding her to stay at home is a way and put a trace of time power on her body just in case.

Komatsu Keko looked at Shogo's eyes with a hint of confusion. "I couldn't understand what President Tokiwa said today," she thought to herself, But she still decided to do what Shogo said. Anyway, it should be considered a vacation.

Looking at Tokiwa Shogo's distant back, Komatsu Keko sighed regretfully. "It's a pity that I'm old and decaying now,"

she mused. "Otherwise, I would have to try to pursue it. Maybe this cold president likes me."

At this moment, Shogo, who walked out of the café, did not know that his loyal subordinate actually had such a "big disobedience" mind.

As he made his way out of the café, Shogo glanced at the time and realized it was still early. He decided to go to the nearby supermarket to buy some vegetables, as there weren't many ingredients at home.

On the other side, Tokiwa Junichiro watched the two figures walking away with a smile on his face and said, "Today is really lucky. I was just thinking of finding some friends for Shogo's child, and two transfer students happen to be looking for a rental house. Perfect timing."

Meanwhile, Geiz and Tsukuyomi were walking down the street, and Geiz had a skeptical expression. Was Tsukuyomi's plan really going to work?

"Hey, Tsukuyomi, are you sure we're going to live with the Demon Time King?" Geiz asked.

"Of course," Tsukuyomi replied firmly.

"According to the information I have, Tokiwa Shogo has a good reputation among his neighbors, and he's very filial to his uncle. And, Geiz, you have to remember that we're not future rebels now. We're just two transfer students from the Forest of Light Middle School."

"So you must not have the idea of taking Tokiwa Junichiro as a hostage. The consequences will be really serious."

Geiz was taken aback, but then he said with some annoyance, "I won't take an old man hostage to blackmail the Demon King. Even if it kills me, I'll defeat the Demon King in a fair fight."

"That's the best," Tsukuyomi nodded in satisfaction. Despite his fiery temper, Geiz had a good heart and would never do anything to harm ordinary people.

"Now that we've completed the first step and successfully walked beside Tokiwa Shogo, the next step is subtle guidance," Tsukuyomi said.

Geiz pouted, feeling like the king would kick them out at any moment. But he kept his thoughts to himself, knowing that they had no other choice. If they were kicked out, they would be stuck in the future forever.

As the two were discussing their plan, a piercing scream sounded nearby, followed by several panicked screams. Tsukuyomi and Geiz looked at each other and ran towards the commotion.

"This is..." Geiz trailed off.

In the crowd, they saw a red and blue monster capturing ordinary people as if they were chickens in a coop. The monster had a bottle in its hand, and after aiming it at a person, the victim would be sucked into the bottle. Those who tried to resist were casually thrown to their deaths. This caused the people at the scene to panic and run away as fast as they could.

"It seems that the Time Robber has also reached this era. This monster was created by the Time Robber," Geiz said with a solemn expression.

"Geiz," Tsukuyomi called to him.

Without a word, Geiz understood Tsukuyomi's intent. Although their main task was to deal with the Demon Time King, they couldn't turn a blind eye to monsters that were causing harm to innocent people.
