Kamen Rider from the ancient times

Chapter 516 AgitΩ Team Building
A swarm of light power rushed in.

Leading the group was Shoichi Tsugami, followed by Mana Kazatani, and then Kana Okamura, who brought in a brother and sister.

But that wasn't all. The explosive roar of motorcycles outside subsided, and then Ryo Ashihara and a dashing girl walked in.

Kawahara raised an eyebrow at the sight of this.

Ryo Ashihara didn't break up this time?!
Although this guy is miserable, he has always been incredibly popular with women, which makes Tsugami Shoichi extremely jealous.

Kawahara looked at the group of people with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you here?"

"Of course we came to help!"

Tsugami Shoichi lifted the shopping basket in his hand.

Kawahara rested his chin on his hand and said leisurely, "I think you're here to cause trouble. It's almost dinner time, and you've brought a whole bunch of people here."

PolePole Cafe wasn't very big to begin with.

Ryo Ashihara looked at him and said, "It's been a while since we last met. Everyone came all this way to see you, so there's no need to say things like that."

Kawahara: "..."

It's like he's some kind of tourist attraction, so did AgitΩ come here for a team-building activity?

At that moment, Ryo Ashihara seemed to have thought of something again, and suddenly leaned forward and stared at Kawahara with an incredulous look on his face.

“Although Ms. Okamura said you only came back today, for some reason, I have a feeling that you had already come back before?” he said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"…Your illusion."

Kawahara calmly picked up his coffee cup.

Ryoya Ashihara initially thought it was just his imagination.

After all, he hadn't actually seen Kawahara at the time; he only had a feeling about it. But now, seeing Kawahara's indifferent attitude, Ashihara Ryo felt that he was right.

He looked at Kawahara suspiciously, and only when he saw that the other man's gaze was on his back did he remember to introduce himself.

"This is water-based sand."

"She doesn't seem to be AgitΩ, so why didn't she run away back then?"

Kawahara said with great interest.

Despite witnessing firsthand the terrifying process of Ashihara Ryo transforming into Gills, the other girl remained at ease with him. Compared to the others who were scared away earlier, this girl was quite courageous.

Risa Mizuki crossed her arms and said, "The existence of psychics is already common knowledge, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Although she was indeed startled at the time.

After all, Gills' transformation process, which resembled tearing flesh apart, was quite terrifying.

Actually, Mizuhara Ryo was also so frightened that he ran away. However, to Ashihara Ryo's surprise, the other party came to him again the next day and said the same thing as now, acting as if it were normal.

Later, at Mizuhara Ryo's initiative, Ashihara Ryo introduced her to the group of people at the Knight Academy.

Are you also an AgitΩ?

Minamihara looked at Kawahara curiously.

She had never seen this person at the Knight Academy, so she figured he was probably a superpowered individual like Ashihara Ryo who usually acted alone outside.

Before Kawahara could say anything, Tsukasa Kadoya, who was standing next to him, had already familiarly stepped forward and sneered, "He's not Agito, this guy is the ultimate darkness that's even more terrifying than Agito!"

Mizuyuki Sasa involuntarily took a step back, unsure whether she was frightened by him or startled by the title.

At that moment, Ryo Ashihara, who was standing nearby, suddenly noticed the unusual commotion. As soon as he turned around, Tsukasa Kadoya, who had been using a diversionary tactic, took the opportunity to snap a close-up photo of him.

Ryo Ashihara: "?"

Is it necessary to be so secretive?
Kadoya Tsukasa remained silent, simply continuing to make cards.

However, apart from Tsugami Shoichi, the other people in Agito in this world don't seem to have that many tricks up their sleeves.

Kawahara looked at them with amusement.

The jade shop manager was a little confused: "Um... there seem to be a bit too many people, don't you think?"

Kana Okamura quickly said, "It's alright, Dad. You should rest today. Minoru and I will take care of the rest!" Minoru Godai, who was standing next to her, also nodded with a smile.

But upon hearing this, Tsugami Shoichi suddenly said, "Eh? But I already said I was here to help, so the two ladies can rest outside now. Leave the rest to me!"

After saying this, Tsugami Shoichi quickly ran over and pushed Godai Minoru and Okamura Kana out of the front desk, then took out an apron and tied it on.

"Perfect timing, I'll treat you to my specialty dishes!" he said cheerfully.

Standing behind, Kazaya Mana watched this scene with a deep gaze, and she could easily guess Tsugami Shoichi's little scheme.

It's simply because there are so many girls here that he got the idea to show off his skills.

The only older sister type of girl present who could completely overwhelm Shoichi was—

Kazatani Mana quickly glanced around the cafe, then secretly sized up the tall and slender Mizutani Risa and Hikari Natsumi. Especially when she saw the latter, the light in her eyes immediately lit up with shock!

—What's going on? How come this outfit, which seems to have a Showa-era retro vibe, also has a stunningly fashionable feel that transcends the times?!
She's clearly a sweet and lovely girl, but she dresses like a sophisticated older sister, making it impossible to look away!

Kazatani Mana's eyes widened. She looked down at her bright red sweater, which she couldn't pull off no matter how she wore it, and finally silently pulled her knitted scarf to cover her face.

Hikari Natsumi was unaware of the stares from others; she only noticed that Tsukasa Kadoya took a quick step and walked up to Shoichi Tsugami.

Based on her sensitivity and experience, Hikari Natsumi intuitively felt that Tsukasa Kadoya's behavior was ill-intentioned!

"Hey!"

Wearing a barista's uniform, Tsukasa Kadoya tapped the counter and said lazily, "This shop is all mine for today. I'm the head chef here now."

Upon hearing this, Tsugami Shoichi looked surprised.

Then he said with a worried look, "But you can't even make curry rice properly, right? You'll mess this up, and it wouldn't be good if you scared away all the manager's customers."

Kawahara raised an eyebrow and looked in that direction.

This blow undoubtedly struck a vital artery.

Tsukasa Kadoya sneered, "You don't need to worry about this. Nobody comes here just to eat curry rice! Besides, my curry rice is highly praised!"

"Really?" Tsugami Shoichi asked doubtfully.

"Enough talk, just give me your seat now!"

Without a word, Tsukasa Kadoya tried to pull him out, and Shoichi Tsugami quickly steadied himself, his innocent and helpless expression making it seem as if he were looking at some unreasonable child.

"Don't say that, Shi. I'm sure I can do a better job of entertaining the guests than you."

"..."

"If you really want to help, why don't you take charge of serving the plates to the guests later? Would that be alright?"

"........."

What exactly do you want?

"........."

This was practically fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire. Hikaru Natsumi's expression turned strange. For a moment, she didn't know whether to advise Tsukasa Kadoya not to compete with his senior, or to advise the senior on the other side to stop stirring things up.

Just then, a boy brought over by Kana Okamura suddenly said, "I know! Why don't you two have a competition and see whose menu items are ordered the most tonight!"

After he finished speaking, Sayaka, who was standing next to him, finally realized what was happening and quickly pulled him behind her, saying, "Lei, don't talk nonsense!"

However, the suggestion has already been made.

Tsukasa Kadoya and Shoichi Tsugami exchanged a glance, and the former crossed his arms and chuckled, "Not a bad idea!"

Shoichi Tsugami scratched his head: "I don't think it's necessary. It's not like it's a competition."

"Since you've already admitted defeat, then get out of here and stop getting in my way!" Tsukasa Kadoya said immediately without any politeness.

"what……"

Tsugami Shoichi frowned immediately, looking at him with a piercing gaze: "Since you insist on comparing, then let's give it a try. But don't blame me if you lose!"

Tsukasa Kadoya simply raised his chin arrogantly in response.

The two stared sharply at each other, and even before the battle began, it was as if sparks had already exploded in the air!
This is a battle where ability and dignity are at stake!
