Kamen Rider from the ancient times

Chapter 519 The Stolen Treasure
"Speaking of which..."

At this moment, Ayaka suddenly hesitated and spoke up: "Mr. Kawahara, is it really alright for Mr. Mizushiro to be alone in the Mirror World for so long?"

Today, everyone at AgitΩ is out having team building activities, while another batch of monsters broke into the Mirror World this morning. Sayaka, who is at the Knight Academy, sensed the battle of Kamen Rider G4.

So far, no one has gone in to help.

They've been playing until late at night!
Kawahara casually said, "As long as they're not dead, that's fine."

Sayaka: "..."

That's really demanding.

However, as long as those monsters haven't broken through the Mirror World's seal, there's no need to worry about the situation becoming too serious for the time being. Kawahara gave Okamura Kana and Ichijo Kaoru a total of fifty-two Mirror Cards, which can trigger an early warning if any monsters try to rush into the real world.

The fifty-two cards were eventually split in half between the Knight Academy and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kana Okamura still has more than a dozen cards left to distribute, while Ayaka, a candidate for the Knight Academy's representative, has also been given a card.

The cards kept by the Metropolitan Police Department were transferred from Kaoru Ichijo to Takahiro Omuro, the current head of the G3 department. However, only the ninth set of G3 armor has been developed so far, so those who can get the cards are basically uniformed personnel who have passed the test.

Just at this time.

Kana Okamura suddenly received a phone call.

[“Ms. Okamura, something terrible has happened!”]
The person who called was Takahiro Omuro.

Since the establishment of the G3 division, Sumiko Ozawa no longer stayed on the front line of G trailers, but instead moved to the behind-the-scenes studio to focus on the development of the G series.

Although Makoto Hikawa was still the uniformed member of G3-X, he was not good at handling such matters, so Takahiro Omuro, a former member of the G3 team, became the head of the department.

However, before that, Kaoru Ichijo had also helped with the G3 department, but she later returned to Nagano Prefecture.

"what happened?"

It's so late now, and Kana Okamura is really wondering what big thing happened in the G3 department under Takahiro Omuro's management that would make such a fuss about it so late at night.

[“Those remaining mirror cards…”]
With a hint of despair in his voice, Takahiro Omuro stammered out a piece of news that was nothing short of a bolt from the blue.

[“They’re all gone!”]
"……what?"

Kana Okamura was stunned.

After she came to her senses, she subconsciously wanted to ask Shiro Mizushiro about the status of her Mirror Card.

Then he suddenly remembered that Shiro Mizuki was still surrounded by monsters in the Mirror World.

Mirror cards, as a medium of power that allows free movement between the "Mirror World" and the "Real World," could easily be exploited by malicious individuals if they were to fall into the wrong hands.

However, the Mirror Cards kept in Kana Okamura's possession, under the supervision of the Knight Academy's group of superpowered individuals and Shiro Mizushiro, are probably impossible to steal.

But it's not necessarily the case with the Metropolitan Police Department.

And that's when trouble struck.

After looking around, Kana Okamura's gaze finally settled on Kawahara across from her.

"How many cards did you lose?" Kawahara asked calmly.

Kana Okamura wasn't sure how many tickets the Metropolitan Police Department still had. After she repeated the question to the phone, Takahiro Omuro gave a pitiful answer.

["Thirteen cards."]
To ensure the G3 team could be deployed for battle at any time, he always carried ten cards with him. Kaoru Ichijo and Sumiko Ozawa each took one card, while Makoto Hikawa, as a fixed member of the G3-X team, was specially allowed to keep one card for himself.

As for the remaining cards that were not distributed, they were very carefully locked away in a safe by Takahiro Omuro.

But just now, as he was about to take out a stack of cards to leisurely count as usual, he opened the safe and found it to be empty!

Takahiro Omuro initially thought he had forgotten to put the card back after taking it out last time, but after searching the entire office, he couldn't find it. Upon checking the security footage, he discovered that the evening's recording was corrupted.

That's not the right question.

"Someone must have been planning to steal those cards for a long time, Miss Okamura. Please, could you please ask the Knight Academy to send someone to help me look for them?" Takahiro Omuro said almost pleadingly.

Such an important item had disappeared under his supervision, and Takahiro Omuro dared not report it. Therefore, his first thought was of the espers at the Knight Academy. Surely espers could find things quickly?
However, Kana Okamura, with her sweet face, uttered cold and ruthless words: "You should report this to the Metropolitan Police Department first."

This was a diplomatic tactic that Tetsuya Sawaki had taught her. For the sake of longer-term cooperation and peace, neither the Knight Academy nor the Metropolitan Police Department could arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of the other department. Even if it was to help, they had to follow the proper procedures.

[“Ms. Okamura…”]
Takahiro Omuro still wanted to cry and complain.

Kana Okamura sighed: "Those cards are crucial. You should understand that this isn't an ordinary event, and..."

She glanced at Kawahara, who remained calm and composed across from her, and wanted to say—the owner of the thing you lost is right here listening. You should be actively admitting your mistake and taking action to investigate, instead of trying to bluff your way out.

Otherwise, if Black No. 2 goes to the Metropolitan Police Department to make trouble again one day, Takahiro Omuro's position will be rejected just like Toru Hojo's back then!
["Okay, I understand..."]
Takahiro Omuro let out a long, mournful sigh.

After realizing that there was no room for compromise with Kana Okamura, he had no choice but to report the matter to the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would face even more severe punishment once the matter was exposed.

Kana Okamura hung up the phone and looked at Kawahara questioningly, wanting to know what his plans were.

However, at this moment, a figure wearing a magenta shirt suddenly approached and placed the new curry rice, drizzled with red chili sauce, on the table. An unusual expression appeared on his face.

"I feel like something came into this world with us," Tsukasa Kadoya said, squinting slightly.

“That must have been brought by you.” Kawahara looked up at him.

"Hey?"

“Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that it happened at this time? Because you are the destroyer of the world, it must be because of you.” Kawahara slowly stood up and said.

"Ah, yes, yes—"

Tsukasa Kadoya simply gave up and stopped bothering with it, figuring he couldn't beat this guy no matter what.

He gestured towards the curry rice for the two ladies: "My new dish, please try it~"

Kana Okamura looked at the egg yolk surrounded by a ring of chili sauce on the rice ball, and after a moment of silence, said, "Sorry, I don't eat spicy food much."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tsugami Shoichi, who had been secretly watching from a distance for a long time, finally found an opportunity to rush over and put down the new product he had just learned from the shop manager, Shiki-tama, called Light Curry.

"Then try mine! It's sweet!"

"..."

Why are these two secretly competing again?

Sayaka whispered a reminder: "Mr. Tsugami, we were just talking about serious business."

With a bright smile, Tsugami Shoichi said, "Of course I know! Look, my curry rice is definitely better than this guy's!"

Sayaka: "..." She can't be saved.

Kawahara had already left his seat and reached out to grab the unsuspecting Tsugami Shoichi, heading straight for the back door of the cafe. The brass-colored wooden door panel cast two blurry shadows under the warm yellow light.

"Hey? Mr. Kawahara, what are you doing—"

Before he could finish his question, Kawahara threw him into the transparent vortex.

"..."

"..."

The three people watching this scene remained silent.

Suddenly sensing the unusual aura, Ashihara Ryo immediately turned his head, and then his eyes met those of Kawahara, who was looking over. In an instant, his scalp tingled.

like……

A sub-Agito disappeared from the store?
