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

After spending a little longer in Kirishima Chinatsu's room and eating avocado-flavored potato chips, Asano Yu returned to his own room.

I took a shower and am getting ready for a long nap.

Not long after, Asano Yu's roommate, Duanmu Jun, dragged his tired body back, his face covered in a sullen expression, as if he had just experienced something very distressing.

Asano Yu was lying on the bed playing on her phone when she saw Duanmu Jun greet her listlessly before collapsing into the bathroom to take a shower.

By the time he finished washing up, Asano Yuya was already getting ready to go to sleep under the covers.

It's already past one o'clock, which is really late.

Even young people who often stay up late can't last this long, let alone poor guy like Asano Yu who has played two matches and is running around.

So he simply treated Duanmu Jun's bathing, hair drying, and other similar behaviors as his white noise, which he used to fall asleep.

"Asano-kun, are you asleep?"

However, Duanmu Jun insisted on starting a new conversation after he had styled his hair and gone to bed.

Asano Yu didn't want to interact with Duanmu Jun at all, because he was really sleepy, so he didn't answer and pulled the blanket tighter.

Perhaps Duanmu Jun caught the sound of this small movement, because he lay on the other bed and intensified his actions:

"If you're not asleep, could you at least reply to me?"

Duanmu Jun is very distressed right now. Because of the Decade incident, he not only got a scolding, but was also forced by Hayami Mitsuki to recall everything he had witnessed over and over again.

So he sat in that private room, with a glass of lemonade and a few biscuits, and told everyone everything, from how he discovered the battle in the underground parking lot to how he almost got executed by Decade, who had transformed into Agito.

However, Hayami Mitsuki surprisingly showed no concern about Agito being used by Decade.

She didn't even ask for details about that part, only focusing on how Decade managed to fight two opponents at once.

He had sensed the presence of a knight or a monster while running back to the hotel, so he headed towards the underground parking lot.

The initial fluctuation only lasted for a short while, so he only knew that there were monsters or Kamen Riders nearby, but he didn't know their location.

Thinking that telling Hayami Mitsuki first would be the right thing to do, I went back to the hotel first.

But before he could go up to explain the situation to Hayami Mitsuki, he encountered two children.

A man and a woman entered the elevator on the floor where the rest area was located and followed the elevator up.

It was at that moment that he overheard the two children talking about "the strange pink adult." He immediately realized that it was Decade, so he rushed out the door, ran down the stairs, and followed him all the way to the underground parking lot.

Then you see two Kamen Riders, one pink and one yellow, frantically attacking a dark-skinned rider whose body is wrapped in orange light strips.

The burly knight exuded an eerie aura, like molten lava that had not yet been extinguished, yet he was unusually clumsy.

Therefore, Duanmu Jun's attention was mainly focused on the pink knight and the yellow knight.

However, he clearly heard the two of them address each other as "Levis" and "Viss," which didn't seem to be Decade.

Then he described the scene of the powerful knight's punch lifting the floor and defeating both knights simultaneously—

However, Hayami Mitsuki was not surprised at all. Instead, she had a feeling of "I knew it would be like this", which surprised everyone in the private room at the time.

Having never seen a Kamen Rider with such destructive power before, Duanmu Jun was genuinely startled.

The moment the black mist dissipated and the crimson-clad Imperial Knight appeared, Duanmu Jun couldn't resist going up to fight.

For the rest of the time, Hayami Mitsuki seemed to want to get more information, repeatedly asking questions and trying to dig out information about the two Kamen Riders other than Decade from Duanmu Jun's already somewhat hazy memories.

Duanmu Jun had already told everyone what he had seen, but Hayami Mitsuki was still not satisfied.

He pressed her for an explanation as to why Hayami Mitsuki was in such a hurry, and she finally revealed that Kirishima Chinatsu was being chased by this uncertified Kamen Rider.

It was only then that Duanmu Jun realized that Kirishima Chinatsu had disappeared for so long that afternoon because she was being chased by this pink knight.

And Asano Yu, who went to find Kirishima Chinatsu at that time, might also have been targeted by that Kamen Rider.

Therefore, Hayami Mitsuki assigned Duanmu Jun a task: something that Koizumi Nobuyoshi had done for Hayami Mitsuki while she was unconscious—

"Asleep."

Asano Yu responded somewhat impatiently, then heard a laugh coming from the other bed behind him:

"Haha, you're such a joker!"

Duanmu Jun's voice was very cheerful, and then he continued talking to himself:

"Since you're still awake, do you remember the letter I gave you in Miss Hayami's hospital room?"

That letter was actually an invitation from the Knights' Association, meaning they wanted Asano Yu to become a member of the Knights' Association.

The Kamen Rider Association is not only composed of Kamen Riders, but also has many supporting and backup roles. Therefore, with the increasing number of wild monsters and wild Kamen Riders, the Kamen Rider Association greatly needs Asano Yu's photography skills.

After all, the only people who don't appear in the photos he takes are the monsters and the knights.

Therefore, this method can be used to find as many enemies as possible.

"What's wrong?"

Asano Yu almost forgot about this matter, because not long after receiving the letter, he went to help Hayami Mitsuki in his dream, and a few days after waking up, he came to Okinawa. He really didn't look at the letter much.

It should be inside the canvas bag now, but the canvas bag seems to have been thrown into the rental house?

Asano Yuu doesn't remember very clearly.

"and then?"

"It seems you haven't read it yet... How about this, after you've finished reading it, if you have any thoughts, go find Ms. Hayami? Please think it over carefully."

"What?"

Asano Yu asked a question, but Duanmu Jun didn't answer. He also lay down on the bed, ready to fall asleep.

Although Asano Yu hadn't opened the letter, seeing Duanmu Jun's expression, he could more or less guess what it was—it was probably trying to persuade him to join the Knights' Association...

After all, they need to rely on Asano Yu's own photography skills.

After Asano Yu guessed the contents of the letter, he was no longer very curious. However, there was one thing that was troubling him: since he wasn't a knight, would joining the Knights Guild count as being a member of the guild?

Does it include the five social insurances and one housing fund? What is the base salary? What is the salary structure?

He had many questions he wanted to ask, but since Duanmu Jun had already muted his microphone, he had no choice but to give up.

I plan to ask Hayami Mitsuki tomorrow.

He only wanted to join the Knights Guild as Asano Yu, not as Decade.

Just look at Duanmu Jun; he's exhausted and still has to take orders from others. Asano Yu doesn't want that.
