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

Asano Yu confirmed the other person's identity once again through the viewfinder—

A cosmic life form from outer space called "solu," in other words, a slime-like creature with a remarkably strong learning ability, which at least in the show it has demonstrated the characteristics of learning, imitating, and becoming a Kamen Rider.

As for whether the individual in front of him possessed this special ability, Asano Yu had no idea.

However, her physical condition is definitely different from that of ordinary people, so how could she be bullied at school?

Moreover, since I am now considered a Kamen Rider, it seems a bit inappropriate for me to get involved in the school disputes of ordinary people. I can't just walk by in someone's school and beat up an ordinary person, can I?

That won't do. Hitting someone else's main rider a few times is understandable, but attacking civilians is a heinous crime. There's no Agito yet, so we can't do that.

Asano Yu realized that despite being a Decade Knight, he didn't have a single card and could only use clones, invisibility, and Rider Kick, which was a bit too limiting.

Asano Yu struggled with her thoughts, while the girl across the table blushed slightly and seemed a little awkward.

She gently lifted the now-dry coffee cup with both hands, her nails neatly trimmed, and brought it to her lips to take a sip, only to find it empty.

So she could only press the bell on the table to call the clerk to order again, and Asano Yuya also ordered a glass of iced lemonade.

He doesn't like coffee, so this option is perfect because it's free.

"I... I can treat you..."

Should I call you Mom?

"Uh... huh?"

Kirishima Chinatsu paused for a moment, seemingly unable to understand Asano Yu's meaning.

"It's okay, I misspoke. Anyway, although I'm poor, I'm not so poor as to let a high school girl treat me."

Asano Yu found a suitable explanation to brush it off.

Besides, she's a solu, and a high school girl at that. What money could she possibly have?

"I can offer this amount..."

She silently took out a thick wallet and gently placed it on the table.

Asano Yu watched as she took out twenty 10,000 yen bills from her pocket, then placed them on the table and pushed them towards her.

"Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Yu Asano then realized what he had missed.

"I know from Hayami-neechan that you are short of money, so I will give you money, just for two months."

"Kirishima Chinatsu said softly."

"And I know you also go to Aoyama Gakuin University, so your grades must be excellent, right? I also want to get into that university, so could you please help me?"

"But I can't go into the school to protect you—"

"No! It's okay! They don't really bully me at school..."

Her voice suddenly rose a little, then quickly dropped, as if she had noticed there were other customers in the store and had deliberately lowered her volume.

She glanced around at the people looking at her; there were almost none, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Is the bullying taking place outside of school?

What kind of problem is that? You're so rich, it would be much simpler to find someone to teach them a lesson or hire bodyguards than to ask Asano Yu.

Don't let Asano Yu's appearance fool you, his physical strength is actually quite low! This body has no martial arts training or self-defense skills; it's purely the strength he gained from carrying bricks.

Asano Yu felt more and more that something was fishy going on.

Furthermore, Kirishima Chinatsu keeps mentioning Hayami-neechan, so why doesn't she ask Hayami Mitsuki to resolve this?

As the daughter of a major company president, how could she not handle this kind of thing?

Therefore, Asano Yu felt that he should be cautious and at least not just listen to Kirishima Chinatsu's side of the story.

"Miss Hayami doesn't know?"

"Um... I... I didn't dare say... it would cause her trouble..."

"Aren't you afraid of causing me trouble?"

If you say that, I'm going to turn into Duanmu Yan!

Asano Yu felt that the other person was being disrespectful, but the other person quickly added:

"My relationship with Hayami-neechan... is rather special, so I can only entrust this to you, someone I don't know well, but someone Hayami-neechan trusts deeply. I'm sorry..."

What does it mean to "have the deep trust of Hayami Mitsuki"?

Asano Yuuma has no such memory.

But these words sounded much better. It's undeniable that Hayami Mitsuki and Kirishima Chinatsu are both top-tier beauties, and gaining their favor isn't a bad thing.

Not to mention that both of them are quite wealthy.

Money is extremely important to Asano Yu right now.

"Tell me about it first, and I'll see if I can help you depending on the situation."

Asano Yu leaned back in her chair so that the waiter could place the two drinks on the table.

"I attended Metropolitan Aoyama High School, which is located nearby," Kirishima Chinatsu said, pulling her student ID out of her wallet. "Hayami-neechan also graduated from here."

Asano Yu glanced at it, unable to recall which high school she had graduated from.

All I can say is that he only knows he's heavily in debt, and has forgotten most of everything else.

However, the original owner of this body was a hard worker; at least her grades were excellent. It was just that her determination to go to university no matter what was really hard to understand.

I'm suffering!

With that face and that height, I could earn more as a gigolo than go to university.

"Then I was targeted by the 'school idols' who transferred here, and the school became very strange. Everything changed as soon as they arrived."

"What the heck? Is there something to do with Bangbang?"

Asano Yuuma felt that the world was a bit out of control.

"Huh? No, it's not a game, it's 'Lucky Four-Leaf Clover'. That's what people were saying when I transferred here."

"A lucky four-leaf clover?"

Oh my, it's someone I know!

"Yes, it's strange, isn't it..."

Chinatsu Kirishima scratched her cheek and casually tucked a stray hair behind her ear.

There was a rare hesitation in that movement, like a carefully calculated formula suddenly having an error after the decimal point.

"The 'Lucky Four-Leaf Clover' is a small group of four people who are the most famous in the school. They are all handsome men and beautiful women and have a lot of influence in the school."

"After they transferred here, they immediately gained a lot of support and established a set of rules where those who disobeyed would be punished academically..."

What constitutes academic suppression?

Asano Yu didn't quite understand.

Is it because your grades aren't as good as mine that you're not allowed to speak? That's certainly a very effective way to suppress someone.

"It's to prevent you from taking the exam or to cause problems with your grades..."

"That's awful..."

I've heard that in Japanese high schools, academic performance can affect university admissions, so students need to perform exceptionally well in every aspect of their school life, whether it's grades or extracurricular activities.

Aoyama Gakuin University's admission process is quite unique. After being recommended, students still need to take an exam, and students with both a recommendation and excellent grades are more likely to be accepted.

In this way, she can continue to attend the same university as Hayami Mitsuki—this was Hayami Mitsuki's request.

"And what about you?"

"Uh... I tried my best for the exam..."

Kirishima Chinatsu looked embarrassed, indicating that she didn't want to talk about it.

She felt sad whenever she thought about how she had crawled into the sewers as a slime and emerged from the school's garbage dump to take her exam.

She also ate lunches containing nails and laxatives, and drank water laced with sleeping pills, all on the day of the exam.

However, since she is a Solu, it's fine.

"I really want to get into Aoyama Gakuin University. I've already submitted my application, so all I have to do now is get through the entrance exam on October 25th without any problems..."

She suddenly clasped her hands together respectfully.

Following in the footsteps of Hayami Mitsuki, Kirishima Chinatsu has consistently ranked at the top of her class since the first year of high school and actively participates in club activities, earning an excellent reputation within the school.

But when Lucky Clover arrived, they set their sights on the school's only four internal referral slots, attempting to kick Kirishima Chinatsu out of the running.

October 25th...

Asano Yu took out her phone and glanced at it. It was only the end of July!

"Summer vacation is almost here, they can't possibly do anything to you, right? Wouldn't it be better if you found somewhere to hide?"

"Actually, they've been following me all along, and I don't know how they know where I am... and they still are..."

She spoke her last words very softly, and Asano Yu immediately understood that her earlier glances around were not because she was afraid of being noticed, but because she was afraid that the lucky four-leaf clover would discover something amiss.

"So... could you please be my boyfriend? This is the safest solution I can think of..."

She earnestly pleaded again, then took out ten more ten-thousand-yuan bills from her wallet and placed them on top of the previous two hundred thousand yuan.

"Please, Mr. Asano."
