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

Pink, shark teeth, and those overly bright red headlights—

Asano Yu recognized this Kamen Rider.

He is undoubtedly Kamen Rider Levi, but what about his demon partner?

Levi climbed in through the window, landed lightly, and then patted the dust off his hands. He also noticed Asano Yu, and the two looked at each other without making a sound.

Asano Yu glanced out the window and realized there seemed to be no one else there.

Asano Yu gently placed his hand on his waist, ready to transform into Kamen Rider Decade and fight his opponent at any moment. Of course, even without transforming, he was fully confident in his ability to physically overpower monsters.

After all, I had tried it before when facing Orphino.

However...

This was the first time Asano Yu had clashed with another Kamen Rider. The Agito incident was an accident; the opponent was already defeated, and Asano Yu was just taking advantage of the situation.

Levi stared intently at Asano Yu's arm movements, noticing that he had spread his five fingers, covering his abdomen, as if something was about to come out—

So he immediately took a step forward, intending to intimidate, while simultaneously questioning:

"What's your relationship with that monster?"

Levi's voice came from beneath the mask, carrying a fierce killing intent.

"It doesn't really matter, but if you do something bad to her, that's a big deal."

Asano Yu noticed that the other person took a step forward, but instead of retreating, he followed suit.

He knew he couldn't retreat, firstly because the two people inside might not know there was an unknown knight outside, and secondly because it was very unsafe to fight here.

So he continued forward, and Levi also strode forward, the distance between them gradually shortening until it was only one meter.

Even at close range, the other party did not immediately launch an attack, but instead emphasized:

"That's a monster! You've been fooled! Monsters are the enemy of all humanity! They're the enemy of us Kamen Riders!"

He seemed to think that Asano Yu had been tricked.

However, Asano Yu now understands that although Levi can see through Kirishima Chinatsu's true identity as Solu, he cannot know that Asano Yu is also a Kamen Rider.

"I know, but she's a good person."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Levi shook his head, feeling that Asano Yu was beyond help.

He even thought Asano Yu was a foolish human being deceived by beauty, but unexpectedly, a flash of light appeared at the other's waist, followed by a black belt and a white driver.

"You're a Kamen Rider too?"

"Who can argue with that?"

Asano Yu shrugged, looking very relaxed.

"Then why are you siding with a weirdo! All weirdos should be eliminated! Weirdos are the enemies of humanity!"

He seemed to have experienced some terrible past, which explained his intense hatred for strange people, but let's keep that separate from other matters—

Surely you can't have Duanmu Yan inside you, right?

Asano Yu immediately thought of that man, but the problem was that the man didn't become General Duanmu from the beginning. He only became General Duanmu, the one who was about to collapse under pressure, because of that pressure.

"I don't ask you to change or believe. If you attack, I will fight back. That's all."

Asano Yu knew he couldn't change his mind immediately, but he also couldn't let him hurt Kirishima Chinatsu, so the only thing he could do now was to resort to physical violence.

Defeat him, then capture and supervise him until he understands that there are good weirdos in this world too.

"So it seems you two are in cahoots!"

Levi roared, pointing at Asano Yu's nose, while Asano Yu remained calm and responded softly:

"Before we start, I have something I'd like to ask you. You don't mind, do you?"

"What?"

"Wasn't Kinoshita Hanta a top-tier war criminal again?"

"Huh? Who?"

Levi clearly didn't understand Asano Yu's question, but that didn't matter. Asano Yu understood that the other person wasn't from her world, and that was enough.

After all, who in the tokusatsu (special effects) industry doesn't know Kinoshita Hanta, the mastermind behind turning Levi into dung?

In other words, he is not from Earth, nor is he from Asano Yu's hometown.

Then he would have absolutely no idea that there was a quirky character in the new generation whose stats were higher than Levi's.

Levi couldn't understand Asano Yu's question, while Asano Yu, in human form, threw an uppercut. Levi reacted quickly and dodged backward, and the two separated by several meters again.

A white mist enveloped Asano Yu's body, and Decade suddenly appeared in front of Levi.

Levi sprinted forward, then leaped into the air. Asano Yu dodged downwards, then quickly got up and walked along the wall towards the elevator.

He didn't want to harm innocent people, so he planned to lure Levi away to an open area.

Levi was very cooperative. Even though he had already arrived in front of Kirishima Chinatsu and Hayami Mitsuki's room, he only looked up at the room number, memorized it in his mind, and then continued to chase Asano Yu.

In his eyes, the pink knight seemed far more dangerous than the frail monster, so he prioritized eliminating the more dangerous target.

The two fought their way from the corridor to the elevator. Asano Yu's Decade was not stat-wise strong enough to compete with his opponent, so he could only fight and retreat, eventually hiding in the elevator. Levi followed closely behind, and the two began a new round of entanglement in the elevator.

In the narrow, descending elevator, the two fought with restraint, neither daring to exert too much force, as the slightest carelessness could damage the elevator's fragile inner walls, giving them a tense and thrilling freefall.

Therefore, even the powerful Levi had to withdraw his attacks just before they hit the elevator wall.

In contrast, Asano Yu's attacks were much more subtle, allowing the opponent to attack while searching for openings, waiting for an opportunity to strike, and then taking countermeasures when the opponent attacked, which was very clever.

But when the elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor, Levi and Decade both looked at the slowly opening elevator doors. Behind the doors appeared two children, a boy and a girl, who seemed to be only a few years old.

So the two remained still for a moment, and after looking at each other, they had no choice but to stop.

Then Levi stood on the right side of the elevator, and Decade stood on the left side. The two pink knights stood up straight as if they were being punished.

The two children showed no confusion or fear at the strange Kamen Rider that appeared before them. Instead, they walked in and turned their backs to them.

The elevator doors didn't open again until it reached the dining area on the second floor. Before leaving, the two children muttered to themselves:

"What a strange adult, and they're even pink!"
