Unable to pay off my debts, I had no choice but to become a Kamen Rider.

"Nonsense!"

Quinn's voice came from behind, but Asano Yu's gaze remained fixed on Justin in front of him. Justin had begun to change as they walked, forcing Asano Yu to be on guard.

He roughly untied his tie with his left hand, his cervical spine making an unnatural "click" sound.

The suit was torn from the shoulder line, and gray fur grew wildly from the tear, with the spine protruding like a wolf's spine.

"The Knights' Guild can't possibly notice us!"

His voice was tinged with a deep, guttural tone, his canine teeth piercing his lower lip:

"That's the end of our playing house. You know too much. Go to hell!"

He approached slowly and seemingly with complete confidence, but suddenly pounced and bit Asano Yu and Kirishima Chinatsu.

On the other side, at the entrance of the alley, Quinn was laughing arrogantly.

She stepped into the puddles, her ankles twisted outwards at an odd angle.

Orange-red fur emerged from the pores, and a fluffy fox tail extended from the tailbone.

"Chika-chan," she licked her newly grown fangs, "later, I'll teach you how to make lipstick last the longest using human blood, okay?"

Asano Yu pushed Chinatsu into a blind spot behind the abandoned air conditioner unit, and his hand ran from left to right across her waist, revealing a black belt with a white driver.

"Close your eyes."

He gave the order, while pulling open the slot with one hand.

But before he could pull out the card from his waist pouch, the two-meter-tall gray-blue werewolf lunged forward, its claws tearing through the air and creating a foul stench.

Instead of dodging, Asano went forward and closed in on his opponent, striking hard on the opponent's arm with his right arm, taking the first claw strike head-on!

Asano Yu first withdrew, then struck hard, knocking Justin's body back several steps.

The wolf-shaped Orphino roared in pain, lost its balance, and collapsed backward, smashing through the stack of corrugated cardboard boxes.

"That's interesting!"

Quinn's fox-like shadow suddenly flashed to Asano Yu's left, its five fingers forming a claw as it ripped straight for his heart—

"But that's the end of it!"

She let out a triumphant cry, but her claws stopped just before they touched the shirt fabric.

Asano blocked the blow with half a PVC pipe he pulled from the pile of cardboard boxes. The plastic pipe snapped, but in the instant the fragments flew, he pulled a card from his pocket.

"KAMEN RIDE"

"Too slow!"

The next instant, Justin's wolf claws attacked from behind, targeting his cervical spine.

The moment the card was inserted into his waistband, a grayish-white armor materialized out of thin air like a living thing, enveloping Asano and withstanding the tearing of the wolf's claws!

Sparks exploded on the armor's surface, and Asano Yu, transformed into Decade, used the force to spin around and deliver a powerful elbow strike to Justin's ribs.

DECADE

The shockwave from the completed transformation blew away all the lightweight trash in the alley.

Chinatsu Kirishima had always been behind Asano Yu, witnessing firsthand how he effortlessly transformed himself, using both hands simultaneously.

The gray-white knight stood before her like a giant, black stripes appeared around her, and then leaped towards Decade's forehead. Yellow light, green eyes, the transformation was complete!

So he's a Kamen Rider too?

But... wait! This color? It's pink!

It's that unregistered Kamen Rider!

It happened in the blink of an eye!

Asano Yu's right hand had already pulled out the second card from the card box, while his left arm was bracing against Justin's completely wolf-like giant claws—claws the size of a normal human head, with bluish-black nails gleaming with a cold metallic light.

But Justin's strength was no match for Asano Yu's, and he was kicked away by him as he turned around.

Immediately afterward, Quinn's sweeping leg came like a whip, slicing through the air with a deafening sound, but Asano Yu simply ducked to avoid it, picking up half a water pipe from the ground.

Quinn's leg swept across the wall, leaving three deep grooves. Below the grooves was Kirishima Chinatsu, who was crouching down with her head covered in defense.

Quinn kicked downwards, intending to finish off Kirishima Chinatsu, but unexpectedly, half of the water pipe pierced her leg, causing her to wince in pain and pull back.

Just as the two Orphnochs were frozen in place, Asano Yu inserted the card:

"ATTACK RIDE"

"BLAST"

The card box transformed into a gun and aimed at Justin as he lunged at it, but Justin dodged it one after another.

Seeing that the wolf-shaped Orphino had already reached him, Asano Yu simply raised his hand and shoved the gun into the other's mouth—pulling the trigger.

With a muffled thud and the sound of bones cracking, Justin screamed and fell backward, half of his jawbone shattering.

"You guys," Asano Yu's voice came through the mask, tinged with a hint of helplessness, "didn't I tell you to keep your heads down?"

"hateful!"

Quinn's figure bounced between the alley walls, quickly becoming a gray-white afterimage.

But Asano Yu merely turned slightly to the side, using his arm guard to deflect her venomous claw attacks, and with his other hand, he transformed his gun into a sword and slashed down—severing three of her toes!

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Quinn screamed as he transformed back into human form and collapsed, his makeup smeared all over his face, and fluorescent green fluid gushing from his wounds.

"Wait! I've never eaten a living person!"

She crawled backward, using both her hands and feet, trying her best to escape:

"They forced me into it... I can testify! I've never eaten anyone, Justin and Allen ate the most! I can help you plead with the Knights Association—"

Asano Yu stepped on her calf, interrupting her speech. A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Quinn began to struggle, trying to escape.

"I can't be bothered to listen to your explanation, you don't deserve it." He raised his foot, this time aiming it at his head. "But they probably won't be able to take a statement from Orphnoch."

Asano Yu didn't bother to listen to her explanation, raised his foot, and stomped on her head.

The sensation of the skull being sunken came through the armor.

He paused, then delivered another kick to the heart area, confirming it was shattered.

On the other side, seeing that the situation was hopeless, Justin immediately tried to escape by using his wolf claws to grab onto the drainpipe. The screams and the commotion of climbing immediately startled Asano Yu. He turned around and slowly raised the sword in his hand.

Asano Yu glanced at it, observing it like a painter using the hand gesture before painting, and then flung out the light blade—the spinning blade precisely severed the water pipe, along with Justin's right hind leg.

The werewolf plummeted from mid-air and crashed into a pile of garbage.

"you……"

Justin's eyes began to glaze over:

"What exactly is it...?"

Asano Yu walked up to him, took out a new card from his waist pouch, and calmly tossed it into the driver.

"FINAL ATTACKRIDE"

"I already said, he's just a Kamen Rider who's passing by."

As he spoke, he raised his leg high and then stomped it down heavily.

"DE DE DE DECADE"

With a loud bang, the wolf-shaped Orphnoch turned to ashes starting from its head, leaving only its gold-rimmed glasses to fall to the ground with a "clink".

Asano picked up the glasses and casually tossed them into a trash bag by the roadside.

Meanwhile, Kirishima Chinatsu, huddled to one side, felt her legs go weak. She hadn't felt this terrified even when she saw the two Orphnochs earlier—

Is this really Kamen Rider?

How could this be so cruel...

I hope I'm not next...

woo woo woo...

The girl was on the verge of tears, and could only watch as Asano Yu approached, finally reaching out his hand to her as she lay limp on the ground—

"I think we should talk. Come on, treat me to dinner."
