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

"Secretary Hayami, I have arrived at Independent Aoyama High School—it seems there are no problems here."

Duanmu Jun wore a mask and a baseball cap, with only his slightly curly long hair peeking out from the edge of the cap indicating his identity.

As the most idle knight under Hayami Mitsuki's command, he has the highest mission completion rate among the current batch of new recruits, so he is basically the one who goes on missions.

However, Hayami Mitsuki has recently been treating him like a convenient tool, even making him handle her junior's affairs himself.

"Should I ask a few passersby?"

Duanmu Jun asked into the phone, and after a long silence on the other end, he finally gave instructions for the next step:

"Go find the informant. I've already told him to wait under our company's 'GG' sign. He wears glasses, carries a backpack, and is a boy."

The flowers parted at two ends. Hayami Mitsuki, who was in the lounge, came to the bookshelf and turned the trophy on the third shelf. A slow, rolling sound came from the trophy.

The bookshelf split in the middle, revealing a secret passage leading to an unknown destination.

Hayami Mitsuki strode in, waiting for a response from the other end of the phone.

"Found him," Duanmu Jun's voice was somewhat hurried. "He said Asano-kun is also here."

Duanmu Jun put his arm around the timid boy's shoulder and asked him about what had happened at the school gate not long ago.

And this boy was the one that Asano Yu and Kirishima Chinatsu had pulled aside to question.

"Let him answer the phone."

Hayami Mitsuki's voice remained cold. When she was in work mode, she was not as easygoing as she was on set. She spoke and acted decisively.

The boy nodded respectfully, took the phone with both hands, and explained what he had seen in a trembling voice.

He started by mentioning that Lucky Clover was handing out money at the school gate, then talked about how Asano Yu and Allen had a conflict, and then gathered a bunch of onlookers who sided with them.

Finally, the conversation turned to Asano Yu's photography.

"Photograph?"

Hayami Mitsuki stopped in her tracks, the brown paper bag that Asano Yu had left with her still dangling from her arm—

These are photos taken by Asano Yu over the past few days; they are eerie photos that don't capture the essence of the subject.

To her, Duanmu Jun, and all the knights of the Knights Guild, it was quite amazing that these photos did not depict knights or monsters.

Hayami Mitsuki informed all members of the Knights Association about this matter early on and also found some people to use that magical camera, but it seemed to only work in Asano Yu's hands.

Therefore, they handed the camera to Asano Yu and entrusted him to photograph what they saw.

In the two weeks since then, Asano Yu has contributed a lot of unremarkable photos, many of which are chaotic and ineffective.

However, some of them were quite effective, so Hayami Mitsuki had the idea of ​​recruiting Asano Yu into the Knights Association from the very beginning.

However, Asano Yu is not a knight after all, so he might not be used to it after entering. Therefore, Hayami Mitsuki is still observing.

She never expected this!

Asano Yu actually pointed the camera at the lucky four-leaf clover!

Hayami Mitsuki knew nothing about the lucky four-leaf clover incident. She had received information from an informant today and was worried that something might have happened to Kirishima Chinatsu, who was a member of Solu, but the situation was even stranger—

Two strange reactions occurred.

Then it disappeared again very quickly.

"Yes, Secretary Hayami," the boy nodded vigorously, "that man suddenly suggested taking a picture of them making up. Kirishima and Lucky Clover are standing together, but as for the picture... nobody knows what it looks like."

Then, the boy talked about how Asano Yu had noticed him while he was following him and had grabbed him to question him about the photos.

"What does the photo look like?"

"It's blurry and chaotic; everyone looks like they have two faces. It's a terrible shot..."

"I think so too. Asano-kun's filming skills are nothing short of disastrous."

As if he had finally found a topic to join in, Duanmu Jun suddenly made a sarcastic remark.

But Hayami Mitsuki ignored him and continued to ask:

"and then?"

"Then I was kicked out, but I discovered that the two people in the Lucky Clover were following Ms. Kirishima, so I had no choice but to leave."

The boy wasn't quite aware of what happened next. After explaining all this, he accepted the 100,000 yen that Duanmu Jun had given him and left happily.

It was because she received a tip from an informant that Lucky Clover and Kirishima Chinatsu had a conflict that she paid extra attention to things in that area, and accidentally caught the strange man's signal, which led her to send Duanmu Jun to investigate.

What's strange is that there were three unknown signals in total. Two of them were from strange people, so what about the last one?

Hayami Mitsuki entered a room filled with computers and monitors, typed on the keyboard and used the mouse to bring up the three signals, and found that one of them was extremely similar to the signal of the pink knight that she had observed some time ago—

Could it be that...?

Was this incident also resolved by the pink knight?

"Morning Secretary, what's the next step?"

Duanmu Jun walked onto the street, feeling that someone had already recognized him and was approaching him with their phone.

Duanmu Jun is, after all, a singing and dancing idol, so he is quite well-known.

"Let's come back for now. We don't know if Asano Yu will be able to see what's in the photos..."

Hayami Miyuki could only temporarily order Duanmu Jun to retreat, as the current situation was unpredictable and the outcome was still uncertain, so it was best to be cautious.

Tokyo is in a lot of chaos lately, with more and more strange people and monster-like transformations appearing. We need to find more Kamen Riders, or bring back other Kamen Riders.

Hayami Mitsuki slowly got up and looked at the wall on the other side, where there was a Kamen Rider suit, with the Agito Driver on his waist.

Hayami Mitsuki opened the glass case, stroked the knight's belt that originally belonged to her, and after a moment's thought, closed it again.

She considered whether to recruit Asano Yu and give him her Driver. If he could actually capture images of the monsters hidden among the crowd that the Knights Association couldn't detect, he might become a valuable asset.

However, she couldn't help but associate Asano Yu with the pink knight—

The first time Asano Yu saw the pink knight, her house was nearby. The second time she saw the pink knight, she happened to take a picture of the white ramming tribe. The third time was also near her house.

This is the fourth time now, and the unknown signal source still matches the pink knight.

Asano Yu was present at all four of these events.

"Secretary Hayami—do you think that flashy pink knight is an enemy or a friend?"

Duanmu Jun got into his car, fastened his seatbelt, and was preparing to start the engine.

"I don't know, I hope we can be friends."

Looking at the glass dome on the wall and examining the belt inside through the curved glass, Hayami Mitsuki felt a deep sense of powerlessness. If she could still transform into Agito, would she be able to do even more?

She said she couldn't be sure.

"Let's focus on Lucky Clover and Asano Yu... I don't think this matter is that simple."

"receive!"
