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

Asano Yu shook her head and shook her hands, as if she was trying to dry her hands after washing them.

Those two bugs were really annoying, jumping around like mosquitoes—

Asano Yu noticed that her emotions seemed to be being led by disaster, and her thoughts became much more irritable.

He looked at the man and the demon he had just knocked away and wondered how he could have caused so much damage with just a light punch, even crushing the ground around them.

It was just a punch, yet it had such destructive power. It truly lived up to its name as the King of Calamity.

However, it's fortunate that the opponent didn't use a form with higher numerical values.

Asano Yu's scrutinizing gaze swept over the cracks not far away, spotting a flash of light that transformed into particle effects after his transformation ended, gradually dissipating into the air—

He believes that this is because Levi and Whis deactivated the transformation effects, thus naturally ending the Calamity transformation.

Unexpectedly, this contact turned him back into Kamen Rider Decade!

It seems that it is still somewhat difficult to control.

Asano Yu felt that he might have to use the Calamity Form less often in the future.

However, if it really comes down to comparing stats, he certainly won't be stingy.

However, he dared not engage with the Decade form transformation, and instead remained in his Crimson Rider form, slowly walking towards the ruins where Levi and Whis had fallen.

There was no sound from the other end, which was very unusual, so he immediately took out the card box and switched to sword mode.

Levi and Whis shouldn't be knights who can be defeated so easily—

Even though Wiss was severely injured from a beating before transforming into the new type of locust, he shouldn't be such a weak knight.

So Asano Yu subconsciously felt that there was something fishy going on!

"Stop! Pink devil!"

Suddenly, an angry roar came from behind. Asano Yu turned around abruptly and saw Duanmu Jun standing there, dressed in casual beach clothes, holding a can in his hand.

Asano Yu almost instinctively called him "senpai" before suddenly realizing that the thing seemed to be the transformation capsule of Croz Z!

Asano Yu suddenly understood something, turned around and pointed his sword at Duanmu Jun—

"Who are you?"

You have to pretend you don't know the other person's true identity so you won't be discovered.

"You tyrannical bully who preys on the weak, you don't deserve to know!"

His clear, resonant voice and righteous indignation, much like the protagonist he portrayed in the drama, were both heroic and imbued with strong emotion.

Duanmu Jun stood on the ruins left after his battle with Levi. He gritted his teeth and drew the silver driver from his waist. The cool touch of the metal invigorated him.

He fastened the driver to his waist; the metal buckle snapped shut with a crisp "click."

Then, he grasped the "Cross-Z Dragon" that had shrunk into a bottle shape—the blue dragon-shaped device vibrated slightly in his palm, as if responding to his fighting spirit.

Asano Yu understood that another tough battle was likely to follow, but he really didn't want to fight Duanmu Jun.

Firstly, I'm genuinely a bit tired right now; secondly, Duanmu Jun is, after all, my senior colleague and someone who usually takes good care of me; and thirdly, can you please stop turning into a loser dragon?!

You'll be in for a surprise!

"I think there must be some misunderstanding here!"

Asano Yu was about to offer an explanation, but Duanmu Jun wore a very strained expression, as if he were putting all his strength into fighting him—

"All I know is that you've been harming ordinary people in Tokyo! You even tried to hurt an innocent girl here! I will never forgive you!"

He was probably referring to Asano Yu injuring Hayami Mitsuki in Tokyo, but I'm not taking the blame for the latter! That was Levis's doing!

Asano Yu saw him shaking the capsule rapidly and immediately corrected him:

"It's not me—you've got the wrong person!"

Asano Yu tried to distance himself from the situation by closing the dragon's wings upwards into an adapter form, but Duanmu Jun didn't wait and suddenly shoved the "Dragon Fullbottle" into the dragon's back—

"Wake up!"

He glared angrily and then forcefully pressed the drive into the slot.

"Cross-Z Dragon!"

The driver's electronic beep sounded, and Duanmu Jun took a deep breath, gripped the joystick on the side of the driver with his right hand, and began to spin it rapidly with all his might—

A kaleidoscope of colors radiated from the disc, gradually shifting towards blue as the rotation accelerated. Finally, something resembling the flow channels of a bottled toy appeared beside him, enveloping him and dividing him into two parts—front and back.

He was confined within this square, three-dimensional model box, and then a series of electronic sounds came through:

Are you ready?

The entire belt instantly burst into a dazzling blue light.

"Transform!"

With the roar of gears turning, hot air jets gushed out from both sides of the drive, scattering the surrounding dust in all directions.

Asano Yu could feel an unprecedented sense of oppression emanating from that driver.

"Wake up from the burning!"

Immediately afterwards, the materialized metal armor clattered together and took shape, firmly enveloping his body—the heavy shoulder armor, the patterned breastplate, and the arm armor with sharp spikes, each piece of armor fitting perfectly, as if tailor-made for him.

In my field of vision, a mask shaped like a dragon's head came down, and dragon wings covered the front from behind, as if the dragon's wings had turned into shoulder armor.

He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power beneath the armor. His body felt like it was on fire, but his mind was clearer than ever before.

As the last piece of armor was assembled, the blue light suddenly exploded, transforming into several streams of light that spread outwards. Then, it abruptly converged and condensed, transforming behind him into a giant dragon phantom burning with azure flames, raising its head and letting out a silent roar.

"Get CROSS-Z DRAGON! Yeah!"

Kamen Rider Cross-Z tilted his head slightly, his eyes flashing blue, and slowly assumed a fighting stance as he faced the enemy.

"Come, count your sins!"

Dude, is that your line? Just say it!

Asano Yu couldn't help but mentally complain, but he didn't say it aloud. His real dilemma wasn't whether his status was appropriate to say that, but rather that he'd just finished fighting Levi and Vis, and now he had to face the defeated dragon—

Although he will definitely suffer a setback, his own situation is not good either.

Without giving Asano Yu a chance to say much, Duanmu Jun leaped into the air and kicked him. Asano Yu could only retreat and dodge, and was eventually forced back to the place he thought Levi and Weiss were!

Asano Yu glanced at the cracks in the ground and realized that Levi and Vis had already escaped!

hateful!

Something devoid of chivalry!
