Summary: Post series. Finally Tsukasa started on another journey.
--------------------
Tsukasa took a long breath as he tried to will himself some courage before entering the café. Suddenly, someone slapped him at the back. He turned around angrily.
Kaito grinned.
"Nervous?"
Tsukasa glared at him. Natsumi and Yuusuke hastily pulled them apart to stop them from starting another fight. He snarled.
"Who said I was ever slightly even a bit nervous? Don't get too far with your assumption! Kaito!"
Daiki groaned aloud. "It's Daiki! Don't tell me because of that argument we had before, you stopped calling me by my first name!"
Tsukasa started grabbing onto Daiki. "You! Annoying thief idiot, treasure no-brain hunter! Like hell I'd ever behave so decent and familiar to you!" he said as the two started quarrelling again.
"Oi, the two over there! If you guys not going to enter this café, you better leave this place!" a man shouted as both of them stopped and turned towards the man. Natsumi hastily apologised to the man before dragging the others inside.

"Sorry to bother you... Tachibana-san," said Haruka, the owner of the Jacaranda café as the man named Tachibana shrugged.
"It's nothing much. Since we're going to be around for a while, I might as well help out. They were starting to make quite a commotion out there."
Natsumi started apologizing again before launching the Laughing Pressure Point attack on both Tsukasa and Daiki. "I'm sorry for the trouble! Really really sorry for earlier..."
The older woman just smiled. "Don't worry about that. Not like it was a lot of trouble..."
A young teen brought their drinks to their table before staring at the still-laughing Tsukasa and Daiki.
"Really pathetic... you two," she said.
Haruka turned around towards the young girl before giving her a stern look. "Amane! Don't be rude. They're still our customers,"
Amane pouted before scooting towards Tachibana's table. "Heh! As if I wanted their money!"
Another lady just shook her head at the girl before smiling. "That won't do, Amane-chan. The café won't go anywhere if you start picking your customers."
Amane pouted again. "But they're even worse that Kotarou! Getting pushed over like that. Even Mutsuki-san wasn't that bad!"
"Hoi!" cried Tsukasa and Daiki as another person groaned.
"Honestly Amane-chan... cut that out already! Removing the -san from my name! How long would you keep doing that, I'm not so useless now anyway..."
Amane stuck her tongue at him before another person entered the café. She gasped.
"Hajime-san! Finally you're back!" cried the girl as she ran towards the man. Hajime smiled at her weakly as Amane started fussing over him. He nodded his head towards Tachibana and his friends in greeting before turning towards Tsukasa's table.
Tsukasa frowned as he realised the name sounded familiar to him. Hajime? Come to think... that name...! He stared at the man as curiously. If he recalled correctly, that person in the other Blade world who had a similar name with this one; had been Chalice. Could it be...!
Hajime put aside his things on the counter before walking up towards him.
"... Aren't you... Decade? What are you doing here?" he asked before scowling. Tsukasa gasped.
"You? How did—?"
Tachibana suddenly turned around before getting up.
"Decade? Don't tell me... this guy was that Decade? Hajime?"
Hajime ignored the question as he focused his attention on Tsukasa. "Don't tell me... you're looking for Kenzaki?"
Tachibana's eyes widened before pulling Hajime aside.
"You know where Kenzaki is? Is he still here?"
Tsukasa looked up towards him as Hajime turned towards Tachibana. "Yes, I knew. He haven't gone far yet ever since he returned. He—"
Hajime froze before slowly turning his head towards outside. Suddenly Tsukasa noticed that the man started to wear a saddened look on his face. The emotion he sensed coming from the man was something he could not understand. What... why suddenly...?
Hajime stared down towards Tsukasa. "Apparently he also knew that you would come here as well. You... if I'm not mistaken, your name is Tsukasa." He cocked his head towards outside.
"Go. Kenzaki's waiting for you outside."
Tsukasa gave him a confused look before running out of the café without hesitation. Natsumi, Daiki and Yuusuke started to rise from their table as Hajime blocked their path to stop them. He cast them a stern glare.
"Don't interfere. Aside from the necessary interaction, I do not want any of you to interrupt their meeting."
"But!" Natsumi started to say as the lady friend of Tachibana patted her shoulders. Tachibana smiled at them.
"Don't worry about your friend. I don't think Kenzaki would harm him without any valid reason."
The three glanced to each other before returning hesitantly towards their table.

Tachibana watched the faint figure of Tsukasa catching up towards Kenzaki wordlessly. He smiled weakly when he noticed Kenzaki stopping to give him his regards before walking away. He turned towards Hajime.
"Are you okay with this? It had been a long time since you last see him. That other time when you looked for him, I don't think both of you had any chance to catch up with each other."
Hajime turned around towards him.
"It's alright. Besides, it's not safe for any two Undeads to be near each other. Especially if both of them are Jokers. Kenzaki wouldn't have allowed that either if I did go after him." He shrugged before smiling weakly. "Even if the world's order had been restored, even if there's still Club's Category King and Queen unsealed; the Battle Fight is still continuing. Despite the Battle Fight now remained to be at a stalemate, there was no guarantee that the situation would not change."
Tachibana sighed. "I guess so..." he said as his other two companions also nodded their heads.
Natsumi raised her hand suddenly. "Wait a minute... what did you mean—Two...Undeads? Then... Tsukasa—!" she asked as Yuusuke and Daiki immediately took out their belts. Tachibana immediately stepped in front of Hajime as Kotarou got up with his empty milk bottles in his hand in defence gesture. The lady who introduces herself as Hirose Shiori, cocked her head at them before cracking her fist.
"Like I said earlier, you don't need to worry. While we might not treat any of you as our enemy, we will not allow you to lay any harm to our friends."
Natsumi blinked before noticing Amane giving them a wary look.

Tsukasa glanced around him before turning towards Kenzaki.
"So... why are we here?"
Kenzaki gave him an amused look before sauntering to the side. "No reason. I just cannot return to that place. Not anymore. Since you're here already we might as well meet up, so I had to bring you somewhere else at least."
Tsukasa glared at him warily. "That's it? After you tried to have me killed before, now you're being laid-back about it? You don't have any complaint on me?"
Kenzaki shrugged. "Well, you finally did what you're supposed to do. Even when what you've done was a bit different than what we expected you to do. But I guess, this was a good outcome as well. I can't complain about things when I also gained some benefits from it. My provocation had yield the outcome I wanted already, there was no need to do that anymore seeing all of that is already over."
Tsukasa groaned loudly. "Ah! I had it! I don't understand you! Last time you told me I did something wrong and now you said differently. Now tell me straight!"
Kenzaki chuckled. "Yeah, isn't this the reason you looked for me? Kadoya Tsukasa?"
Tsukasa rolled his eyes at him. "You bet I am! Even though I didn't really planned to come to this world so soon. But now that I'm here, I demand you to explain yourself properly! What did I do wrong last time? And what was so wrong about making those other Riders my comrades?"
Kenzaki laughed again. "That's what good about you, Tsukasa-kun. You're one easy person to provoke. But I fear the answer you're looking for was not as complicated as you thought it was." Tsukasa frowned at him. He explained. "He said it before, didn't he? Wataru told you that you were the destroyer of Kamen Riders. You had the ability to destroy everything. From the very beginning, you should have just destroy every Rider world you have passed through. You're partially at fault at causing the worlds to start converging after all."
Tsukasa bit his lips as Kenzaki continued. "But I guess you're not that bad, you did in the end saved everyone. Even if you act on it initially based on a wrong assumption." He sighed. Kenzaki turned around towards Tsukasa. "Since everything was over already... we might as well start anew."
Tsukasa stared at him warily as Kenzaki held out his hand towards him.
