I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

The man's name is Kira Yoshikage. He just wants to live a peaceful life, but now, his peaceful life has been completely broken.

For the 44th time, he woke up on Monday morning, grabbed the white suit beside him, and took a photo of Ji's father.

"What, what happened, my son?!" The photo spoke, and Kira Yoshikage's eyes were full of fatigue and fear.

"Don't ask, just follow me." This was the 44th time he said this to Ji's father.

"My dear son, you don't look well." Father Ji, though now a ghost, still asked with concern, "Did you not get enough rest last night?"

Last night? More than just last night—Kirara Yoshikage had already spent countless similar mornings up to this point, but no matter where he fled, there was only one ending.

That scary, red-eyed fly head will catch up to him.

Stabbed to death by Rx's lightsaber 10 times.

Killed by Knight Punch, 6 times.

His belt was taken off and he returned to human form, then he was punched through the chest and died three times.

Shot to death as a target, 5 times.

Killed by consecutive knight kicks, 4 times.

He was drilled into by the Bio Knight and died from the explosion, twice.

Being thrown into the world's deepest trench and drowned, 1 time.

Being thrown from the world's highest mountain, once.

He was thrown into a world full of monsters, and was eventually killed by a group of monsters in a round-the-clock battle, 1 time.

Every death was vivid in his mind, and in Kira Yoshikage's mind, Rx had been distorted into a horrible nightmare.

As a perverted murderer, he actually experienced the fear of being endlessly hunted.

Beyond this fear, Kira Yoshikage's biggest confusion is: [That guy shouldn't have any memories, but why...]

[The world has clearly been restarted, and every particle in the universe has returned to its original point at that moment under this incredible power.]

[Why does Rx seem to know all of his actions? ]

Not only did he try in various ways to completely wipe him out, but, after seemingly realizing that he could not be killed no matter what, the 34th reincarnation began, and that was the beginning of Kira Yoshikage's new nightmare.

When he was defeated by Rx's tyrannical force again and lay on the ground with his mouth open and eyes closed, ready to wait for death to come again, he even felt a sense of relief, like a player who was used to replaying the game, - the relief of being killed.

But when I opened my eyes again, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

To be precise, it is as dark as the chaos at the beginning of the universe.

[How could this happen?! Has the power of my loser, Dust Eater Zio-II, become distorted after so many replays?]

When he wanted to stand up and tried to find a light source to see his surroundings clearly, he found that his body seemed to be tied tightly with ropes.

No matter how he shouted, he got no response.

Killer Queen was unable to break the rope on her body, and Zi-O's watch dial disappeared. When he was hungry, a small yellow light lit up in front of him.

The dim light was so weak that it could only illuminate his own face - the surroundings were still a vast expanse of darkness, like a forest or wilderness, silent and terrifying darkness.

The only thing he could see was a white plate hanging in front of him, which contained a croissant and a glass of water. He didn't need to move his hands, he just had to stretch his neck and take a bite.

Hunger drove him to tear the bread madly. Even though it was dry and without any fillings, and was definitely not delicious, he quickly finished it all. Even the bread crusts that fell on the plate were eaten up by him with his tongue extended comically, his head tilted, and a distorted expression.

Immediately afterwards, Kira Yoshikage, who had a full meal, felt a strong sense of dryness, like a traveler who had taken a long journey in the desert.

[Water! I need water! ! ]

As if to great comfort, he then noticed that there was a glass of clean water on the plate.

"Dinner time is over."

His vision fell into darkness, and he heard the friction sound of the plate rising rapidly, and a breaking sound that made his heart stop.

The cup lost its balance in the rapidly rising plate, fell to the ground, and the water spilled all over the floor.

"Water, I haven't had any water yet!!" Kira Yoshikage soon discovered that no one responded to him.

So, driven by his body's instinct, he bent down with all his strength, stretched out his tongue, and tried to reach the water flowing on the ground.

The broken glass cut his lip and he was in despair.

He understood one fact - Rx knew he couldn't kill him, so he imprisoned him.

But now, he was unable to move and couldn't even commit suicide.

When he wanted to starve himself to death, his body would move unconsciously, as if it had its own will, taking in the most basic water and nutrients needed for survival.

He spent countless years like that.

One day, he saw the upside-down sky and tsunamis.

He was free - as he perished along with the world, a happy smile appeared on his face.

. . .

And now, it is the forty-fourth reincarnation.

Kira Yoshikage recalled and prayed that this time, he could find someone related to Rx's identity.

"Tachibana Toubei, and his daughter, Tachibana Kanade." All the victims have been checked, and this time, it is his final game where he will go all out.

If nothing is answered, he will be faced with the same long and lonely ending as before.

. . .

"Xiao Zou, you can't be so lazy." Tachibana's father urged and pushed his daughter, who was refusing to leave the house, into his black car.

Xiaozou got up late, so her father had to send her to school.

"Dad, I..." Xiao Zou wanted to say something, but his mouth was blocked by the bread his father gave him.

"No matter what, you can't skip breakfast. You still have to go to school and life has to go on." The old man smiled and touched Xiaozou's head - he knew that his daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, had become abnormal because of her mother.

Jotaro Kujo and Conan seem to have grasped some important clues. The murderer of Tachibana Kyoko, Kozoda's mother, the demon who has kept him awake at night for more than ten years, is about to be brought to justice.

He was more excited than Xiaozou - but he had to remain calm.

He is the father. Xiaozou has lost his mother, so he is the only one left.

Xiaozou's fingertips turned white as she pinched the strap of her schoolbag. She chewed the bread and suppressed her inner uneasiness.

Feeling of unease? Yes, when Xiaozou woke up this morning, he inexplicably had a bad feeling. However, perhaps, as Dad said, it was because he was too excited after learning about the murderer last night that he didn't get enough rest.

"Oh, that's weird." Dad was fiddling with the car radio. The morning news that was supposed to be broadcast on time was now just a crackling sound of electricity.

Feeling his daughter's scrutinizing gaze, the father laughed awkwardly: "It seems to be broken. Never mind. I can't delay your schooling."

The car started and drove in the designated direction.

The dad was driving with great energy. If it weren't for his unique and precious daughter sitting in the passenger seat, he could have done some cool drifting maneuvers.

"The road conditions are really good today. There's not a single car."

"Dad, don't you think it's strange?" Xiao Zou had a blank expression on her face, but her inner anxiety had actually reached its limit - her heart had been beating restlessly since just now.

It was as if he sensed some impending danger.

I must be sick. After spending so much time with Sister Xiaoniao and Sister Baili, I thought I had awakened some strange abilities.

"Dad, probably everyone is as lazy as you today." Dad said jokingly.

"Dad..." Xiao Zou replied helplessly with an expressionless face.

She then forced herself to calm down and drank the canned milk that her father had warmed for her - she actually didn't like milk because it could relieve the spiciness, and she liked spicy food.

It may sound strange to say this, but in Xiaozou's inequality, she hates anything that can dilute the only taste that can bring her feeling, "spicy".

But every time her father would force her to drink milk, he would say, "Drinking milk will make you taller. You must grow up to be as tall as your mother."

Mom, is she a tall beauty? She didn't know that the photo, along with her mother, disappeared in the house that burned down ten years ago.

She actually doesn't want to grow taller because she thinks being small is cute, just like her goddess sister.

Thinking of her sister who was a head shorter than her but extremely gentle, her inner uneasiness was slightly alleviated.

Dad's car stopped and Xiaozou looked forward.

"Dad, traffic light?" She looked at the crooked traffic light at the intersection ahead. The green lampshade was shattered to the ground, revealing the tangled wires inside, which were emitting blue and purple sparks.

"What the hell is going on..." Dad also felt something was wrong, and his feet were already on the accelerator and clutch.

He rested one hand on the steering wheel, the other unconsciously rubbing the anti-slip strip on the inside of the car door. He usually hummed a few off-key lines, and now his Adam's apple moved: "Maybe... the power circuit breaker tripped?"

"What kind of job is the road administration doing!" After cursing, the old man patted the steering wheel and prepared to observe the situation at the intersection before passing safely.

The engine suddenly muffled. Dad sensed something was wrong and slammed the accelerator, but the speedometer remained motionless.

He frowned and subconsciously honked the horn. The "beep" sound hit the rolling doors of the shops on both sides, and when it bounced back, it changed its pitch, like someone whimpering in the throat.

The sound seemed distorted.

Xiaozou felt a chill on the back of her neck. She looked up at the rearview mirror hanging in the middle of the car and saw that several figures had gathered on the previously empty street.

Those guys were twisting and turning, some were huddled against fire hydrants, some were hanging on billboards and swaying, and the one in the front row suddenly straightened up - he was a man wrapped in black and red armor, his red and white muscles twisted and curled, revealing scarlet tendons.

"Kamen Rider?!!!" Dad screamed. Although the appearance was a little ugly, it was similar to Rx transformed from a bird.

"No, Dad! Drive!" His restless heartbeat accelerated to its limit, and Xiaozou's screams mixed with the engine's roar. Dad swerved, the tires scraping scorch marks on the road. The front of the car barely avoided the "knight", but was stopped by another "knight".

"Get away!!!" Dad was a tough guy who had experienced many battles. He knew that the other party had ill intentions, so he rushed forward at full speed.

The result was that the smoking front of the car twisted and deformed in an instant, the smell of burning filled the cab, and the pointer on the broken stopwatch instantly returned to zero.

"Xiao Zou!" Dad endured the pain, hugged Xiao Zou from the passenger seat, opened the car door with his elbow and ran all the way.

Although those knights were ugly and powerful, they seemed to move slowly, like zombies, and were unable to stop the fleeing Tachibana father and daughter.

"Sister, Sister Xiaoniao!" Xiaozou was in his father's arms, desperately touching the ground for his cell phone with his trembling hands.

But Dad suddenly stopped and pressed her face tightly into his arms, as if there was something extremely terrifying in front of him.

"Little bird? Sister?" The skull-headed knight, walking towards them, read out each word in a gruesome hoarse voice, "Rx, the little bird sister you're talking about, is it Rx?"

"Answer me, is it Rx?!"

“RXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRXRX....” The Skeleton Knight kept repeating these words like a tape recorder with a program error.

Dad turned around and wanted to run, but found that the way back was blocked by the knight.

"Well, why not just kill you and see how Rx reacts? Hahahahahahahahaha!"
