When breakfast was done, Tsukasa, Daiki and Yuusuke stepped outside, just to see Tsukasa's outfit change.
"What the?" he replied as he saw the pink vest, black tie and pink fedora hat appear.
Yuusuke looked him over, "You kind of look like a private detective."
Just then a gust of wind came by and his hat blew off, "Where'd that wind come from?" Tsukasa said as he ran after his hat that kept blowing down the street.
Finally it stopped right in front of the billiards game room. He picked it up, dusted it off, and then put it back on. "That was odd," he said as he looked at Daiki and Yuusuke, who followed him.
Daiki then pointed to the sign next to the game room, "A private detective agency."
"Well, that explains this look," Tsukasa said as he started to walk forward, however, he was cut off by a green and black bike.
The owner of the bike sat up, removed his helmet and looked at the trio, "Who are you?"
Tsukasa smiled, "Kadoya Tsukasa, private detective. These are my partners, Onodera Yuusuke, and Kaito Daiki."
Shotaro looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "A private detective? There's only one here in Fuuto, and you are looking at him. Hidari Shotaro."
"Please to meet you," Tsukasa said, as he held out his hand.
Shotaro looked at it like it was the worst thing in the world, "Why are you here Kadoya-san?"
Tsukasa pulled his hand away, "I am on a case," he then reached for something in his back pocket and pulled out a request form, "For the Sonozaki family. I am searching for their lost son, Raito," he smiled. For once he was thankful for his ability to read upside down and really fast.
Shotaro blinked, "The Sonozaki family doesn't have a son."
"According to this, he was kidnap over 10 years ago and they believe he's still alive," Tsukasa replied.
"I've lived here my whole life and I went to school with the daughters of the family, and they never mentioned having a brother."
"Look, I was hired to do a job and that's what I indented to do," he then stuck the papers back into his pocket, "So, if you'd excuses me…" just then started to walk away, when he was hit in the head by a green slipper.
He turned around and saw a girl looking at him, "What the fuck?" he said, rubbing his head.
"How dare you take a case from us? Who do you think you are?" yelled the girl.
"Who the hell do you think you are smacking people with a slipper?" Tsukasa yelled back as he moved closer.
Yuusuke saw this and stepped between the two of them, "Maybe we can all work together. They are from here and know the area better and it could prove to be beneficial to us," he then whispered in Tsukasa's ear, "Besides, I have a feeling he's this world's Rider. Look at the bike."
Tsukasa looked over at the bike, and then back at Shotaro, "Well, do you think we could work together?"
Shotaro nodded, "I think we could try. We get half the pay?"
Tsukasa nodded, "Agree," he then shook Shotaro's hand.
Shotaro smiled, "Would you care to come inside with me?"
Just then Akiko spoke up, "WAIT!"
Shotaro rolled his eyes as he turned to look at her, "What?"
"What do you think you are doing? I didn't hear anything about this!"
"We haven't had a descent job in over a month and I can't keep asking Ryuu to pay the bills. It's not fair, even if he doesn't complain."
Akiko replied, "I'm chief and I didn't approve of this."
"And how many times do I have to tell you, I don't acknowledge that."
"I inherited the agency from tou-chan!"
"No you didn't, I did," Shotaro replied.
As they fought, Philip stepped outside, "I made coffee."
Everyone looked at him and Shotaro smiled, "Thanks love," he then looked back at the others, "Care to come in?"
Tsukasa nodded, "I could use some coffee. It's cool out here."
"That's the windy city for you," Shotaro said as he lead them inside, hanging his hat by the door, with Tsukasa mirroring his actions.
"So, what can you tell me about this family?" Tsukasa said as he and Shotaro sat at the table and sipped the coffee.
"They are the most prestige family in Fuuto, with an almost a mafia like quality to them. Their youngest daughter, Wanaka, has her own radio show, which Philip loves and their oldest, Saeko runs a local business. And as for their father, Ryubee-san, he runs the museum," Shotaro replied.
"What about the mother?" Tsukasa asked.
"She left over 10 years ago. No one really knows," Shotaro shrugged, "The girls never talked about it, but then again, they never really talked to me. I was a loner in school, always reading my mystery novels and my parents ran a local gift shop. I wasn't high class enough for them to even bother with me."
"Do you know where they live?" he asked, as he actual took notes about what Shotaro said.
At that moment, Philip went to refill Tsukasa's cup, when his hand touched Tsukasa's and he stopped what he was doing, "You…have a father, named Joji?"
Tsukasa shook his head, "I don't know who my parents are. I don't have memories of my past before two years ago."
"I'm almost certain though. I had a memory flash of a man holding you. He said something about you being his everything and he called you by name," Philip replied.
Tsukasa looked at him, "I've had that same memory, but I couldn't see the man's face."
"Neither could I. It was like looking at it though his eyes," Philip replied.
"I wish I had more to go on, but how did you get a name?"
Philip shrugged, "It was just part of his memories."
Shotaro spoke up, "Philip, could you do a look up in Planet Bookshelf?"
Philip nodded and held out his arm, and the other held his book.
"Keyword: Tsukasa," the bookshelves started to move a little, "Not enough, let's see, keyword: Joji," and again, the shelves moved again, "A little better, okay, 22 years ago?" then just one book appeared.
"Yuki Joji, father to Kadoya Tsukasa, who was given away 3 hours after birth," he sighed and opened his eyes, "Sorry Tsukasa-san, but that's all I have."
Tsukasa smiled and wiped the tear that strayed from his eye, "That's the most I have ever had. But, what I want to know is, how'd you do that?"
"I hold all of the world's information in my head."
"But how?" Tsukasa asked.
"I was part of an experiment. I was held against my own will," he sighed before continuing, "I was forced to make Gaia memories."
Tsukasa looked at him, "In a factory, on an island?"
"Yeah…how…how did you know?" Philip asked, looking confused.
"For a long time I have had the same, recurring dream, about a boy in a factory, being held against his own will," Tsukasa explained.
Philip kept looking at him, then he finally saw the camera around his neck, "Does the pictures you take come out as double-exposures?"
Tsukasa nodded, "How did you know that?"
"Planet Bookshelf has been keeping me up at night. It's like it's trying to tell me something, but I didn't have enough clues to put everything together."
"What other clues to do you?" Tsukasa asked with great interest.
"A passing though Kamen Rider, remember that and the words, Decade, DiEnd and Kuuga."
Tsukasa looked at Daiki and Yuusuke, "How could he know all of that?"
Daiki shrugged, "I have no idea."
Tsukasa then turned to Philip, "Do you have any memories of who you are?"
"They have been erased to fit Planet Bookshelf inside my head" Philip replied.
Tsukasa looked at him, "Do the words Dai Shocker mean anything to you?"
"No, would you like for me to look it up?" he asked, sounding curious.
Tsukasa shook his head, "No, not right now. For now, we have another case to work on."
