Jing Feicai took over the conversation, frowning slightly as she spoke:

"Mr. Hyuga Kōtaro said that everything concerning the Genmei Group is still under review. Procedurally, the Genmei Group is prohibited from distributing any products related to the Bugster virus. Therefore, the Ministry of Health was caught off guard this time."

"Yes, I wonder what the new president of the Dream Group is thinking."

Hua Jia Da Wo frowned, muttering in dissatisfaction, but upon hearing this, Yuan Xiang unexpectedly raised an eyebrow and said softly:

"Isn't the president of the Genmu Group Dan Kuroto, the son of Dan Masamune? Didn't Dan Kuroto take over the Genmu Group when the Zero Day Incident happened?"

"this......."

The three members of the Hua family exchanged glances, and finally, Jing Feicai shook her head and answered:

"What you said is true, but Dan Kuroto died of gaming sickness during the previous bugster incident. Although I don't know what kind of power exchange happened within the Genmu Group, the current president is a guy named Amasaki Ren. I wonder what kind of people are behind him that would make him do such illegal things."

"However, his illegal activities stopped there."

Emu Hosho said firmly:

"Now that 'Kamen Rider Chronicles' has caused so many game addicts, if the Ministry of Health takes the lead, the release of the game by the Phantom Group will definitely be stopped. Then we can slowly investigate the ins and outs of it."

"Is that so? Great, then I know where to go next."

Gensou stroked his chin, nodded knowingly, and then glanced at Kuroyukihime beside him, saying:

"My friend can rest here for now. I'm very sorry to bother you. I'll come back to see her when I'm done with my work. That's all, I'll take my leave now."

"Wait!" x4

Upon hearing this, everyone present simultaneously spoke up to stop her. Kuroyukihime stared intently at the boy before her and whispered in a somewhat frightening voice:

"Do you think I'm getting in your way, which is why you're planning to go it alone?"

"The word 'getting in the way' is a bit too strong. If you tone it down a bit, I can answer 'that's true.'"

Gensou tapped Kuroyukihime's forehead with his finger and said softly:

“I am an unregistered person in this world. While this brings inconvenience, it also brings additional convenience. In a sense, the retaliation from large corporations and the pursuit and arrest by the police are irrelevant to me. Therefore, from any perspective, acting alone is the best choice.”

"Yuanxiang, calm down."

Seeing that Kuroyukihime was speechless because of Gengo's words, Kagami Hiiro spoke up to try to persuade the boy to give up his idea, saying softly:

"Although there is no news yet, the Ministry of Health will certainly not let things continue to worsen, so please be a little more patient. I understand your desire to conquer 'Kamen Rider Chronicles,' but this is far from something that one person can do alone. The idea of ​​a hero saving the world alone is just a setting in the story of the 'Kamen Rider Chronicles' game."

"Hmph, Dr. Jing Feicai, I don't have any prejudice against you, but I have to refute what you just said."

Yuanxiang smiled and snapped his fingers, then pointed stylishly at Jing Feicai and said:

"A hero may not necessarily save the world, but he will definitely be on the road to saving the world. Although I don't like being called a hero, I still want to do what a hero should do. Okay, that's enough. As the saying goes, strike when the enemy is unprepared. Maybe we can catch the new president off guard at this moment. I'm leaving now. See you later."

"wait......."

"Gone?!"

Although Gensou said that, Kagami Hiiro and the others still felt it was inappropriate. However, before he could finish speaking, the boy had vanished without a trace, causing everyone to look around in surprise before their gazes fell on Kuroyukihime. After all, everyone had witnessed how protective this girl was of Gensou, so they naturally assumed she could offer a reasonable explanation. But... but alas...

He didn't know how to do this before.

Kuroyukihime scratched her hair in confusion, unsure of what to say. She wanted to go to the Huanmeng Group to find Gensou, but she felt that it might disrupt the boy's plans, and she would really become the one who held him back. So she paced anxiously around the computer rescue center table a few times before sighing and sitting down in a chair, staring silently at the cup in front of her.

"Um... I'll contact the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and find a pediatrician. Could you look after things here?"

Jing Feicai felt that today was definitely going to be a deadly day. All sorts of unexpected things were practically killing his brain cells. This was something that couldn't be made up for by eating a piece of cake or two. But no matter how many brain cells he was killing, he still couldn't stop doing what he needed to do. His father was the director of the Seito University Hospital, which was cooperating with the Ministry of Health to establish a computer life-saving center. He figured he could get some help from him.

However fast Kagami Hiiro's actions were, they couldn't compare to Genji's. By the time the doctor left the computer life-saving center, the boy was already outside the gates of the Genmei Group. After all, he was a detective, and while chatting with Kuroyukihime, he had used her phone to gather basic information. But...

Yuanxiang observed that the employees of Huanmeng Group were acting and working as usual, almost indistinguishable from other ordinary companies. Moreover, judging from their busy work, he could not see any connection with the Knights Transformation gacha game. At least, during Yuanxiang's sneak in, he did not see many decent technical positions.

Online, it's said that the release of games by the Genmei Group is all based on the talent of its president, Dan Kuroto, and now it seems that's not entirely wrong.

Gensho adjusted his hat, avoided the passing employees, and continued walking towards the president's office. After all, this was just a company, and the strongest security was at the main gate. Once inside, everything was a piece of cake.

Upon entering the president's office, one is greeted by a series of personal portrait posters placed next to the desk. The posters feature a rather stylish, chubby man in a suit with a rose pinned to his chest, striking various dashing poses.

"Amazaki Ren?"

Yuanxiang raised an eyebrow and tiptoed into the room. He looked around and finally realized what was wrong with him. The design style of this office was too out of place with these narcissistic posters... Hmm?

Just then, Gengo suddenly realized something and turned his head in surprise, just in time to see the office door being pushed open, and the president named Amasaki Ren walked in.

"Oh? What a rare guest! I never expected to see you here, Gensou-sama."

Amasaki Ren flicked her long bangs that were covering her forehead and said in an exaggerated tone:

"Genius player, you really are a genius player. I was originally planning to personally invite you to visit the Dream Group and discuss the experience of 'Kamen Rider Chronicles' with you, but you showed up here on your own initiative. What a coincidence! Maybe there is some kind of telepathy between us."

"Don't say such disgusting things."

Gensou, watching the fat man's back stiffen at his words, expressionlessly took out his Rider Rush+ cartridge, pressed the start button, and said in a low voice:

"If I have a telepathic connection with a bugster, then I'm really unlucky."

"Oh, Gensho, I can't agree with what you're saying."

Amasaki Ren took a rose from the vase, leaned on the table with one hand, admired the flower's beauty, and said softly:

“I’m the president of the Dream Group, how could I be a bugster?”

"What, you don't even dare to admit your own identity? Are bugsters just such cowardly trash?"

"........."

Amasaki Ren dodged Gengo's shot with a dark expression, put the rose in her mouth, and spoke with unusual clarity:

"You've successfully angered me! You're such a vulgar and unrefined person! Now let me teach you what mature and captivating charm is!"

After he finished speaking, a shower of rose petals shot out from his hand. The seemingly light thing contained unparalleled power. Since it was their first encounter and he didn't know the details, Gengo did not choose to confront him head-on. Just as he temporarily avoided the attack, Amasaki Ren turned around and disappeared. Just like Poppypipopapo, this guy had appeared outside the office in the same way, which was why Gengo was able to find a weakness.

Meanwhile, Amasaki Ren hadn't gone far. Right there in the plaza in front of the Huanmeng Group's office building, he had transformed into a bugster, with a huge, conspicuous flower-shaped shoulder armor on his left shoulder. He waved to Genji, clearly treating the place as a battlefield.

Yuanxiang was not afraid and directly capsized the boat, falling from the top floor of the Huanmeng Group building. Although he did not use the power of the Gaia Memory, after various force-dissipating measures, he arrived at the square unharmed.

"Are you... a retired special forces soldier?"

To be honest, Amasaki Ren was genuinely startled and involuntarily asked in a soft voice, but Genji naturally had no intention of answering. He immediately grabbed his knight's armor and began to fight, but...

"Miss!"

"Miss!"

"Miss!"

Why are all the hits missed?

Genji frowned, staring speechlessly at the unharmed Amasaki Ren before him, unsure of where things had gone wrong. But then, Amasaki Ren chuckled, and a group of maid-dressed bugsters—presumably women—suddenly appeared behind him, surrounding Amasaki Ren and making obsessive gestures. Amasaki Ren picked up a rose and looked at Genji triumphantly, saying:

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lovricabugster from the dating sim 'Tokimekicrisis,' and I love you in this world!"

403 Dan Masamune?!

"ah!!!!!"

When Ren Saki pretended to be affectionate and whispered to the maid bugster beside her, the maid bugster let out a chilling scream of a madwoman. How to put it, it didn't feel like someone was having a crush on someone, but more like a group of weirdos drooling over human flesh. It was really not something to be complimented.

However, with each scream, countless hearts floated out, like balloons, filling the air with a romantic atmosphere. Then, all the hearts converged on Amasaki Ren. In that instant, Gengo realized that the bugster boss's power seemed to have been astonishingly enhanced. He hurriedly dodged again, but rose petals still brushed past him. The astonishing power made Gengo's armor tremble.

opportunity!

Although her attacks were powerful, this Amasaki Ren didn't seem to be very good at fighting. As a mage, she was used to standing still and attacking, so Genji was able to sneak up on Amasaki Ren's side again.

However, this time, Gengo's target was not the bugster boss, but the maid bugsters next to the fat man. This was because he was playing a game, which was crucial. In the game, you inevitably have to deal with some mechanic monsters that can only be killed by using QTEs one by one. And the Amasaki Ren in front of him was undoubtedly a boss similar to that.

Since that's the case, let's start with these small fry. I believe that once we eliminate them, we'll have completed most of the strategy to win over Amasaki Ren.

"no! no!! no!!!"

Amasaki Ren realized Gengo's intention and hurriedly tried to stop him. The maid bugsters screamed and scattered in all directions, but Gengo still managed to knock down two of them. But in that instant, the boy noticed that the colors around him suddenly dimmed. He looked up warily and saw that the red heart icons had lost their color, turned gray, and cracked in the middle. The maid bugsters also lowered their heads and whimpered in despair.

"Those guys who attack women are disgusting, bang!"

Amasaki Ren pretended to rub her forehead and looked at Genji in a pained tone, saying in a low voice. At the same time, Genji felt a terrifying energy instantly envelop him, leaving him no room to dodge. He was blasted away.

However, before being blasted away, Gensou quickly adjusted his angle so that he could pick up an energy item to restore health as he slid through the air. Therefore, his Knight Gauge was not completely emptied, but he only had a small amount of health left.

Is it a machine-generated kill?

Gengo clutched his aching chest, looking at Amasaki Ren rushing towards him to finish him off, and then at the maid bugsters behind him who were screaming "ya ya ya ya" with hearts in their eyes. The boy suddenly had an idea: he would roll away to avoid being attacked by Amasaki Ren. Then Gengo took out a Rider Turning Game cartridge and pressed the start button.

"Alhambra's game cartridge?"

Everyone is a bugster, and Amasaki Ren naturally knows this companion with the wand. But like the doctors at the Computer Emergency Center, she finds it utterly unbelievable that Genji can use a bugster cartridge. For a moment, she wonders if she's seeing things, and if the boy she's fighting with is actually a bugster.

"it's useless!"

Seeing that the red magic wand had actually appeared in Gensou's hand, Amasaki Ren felt a chill and decided to change her strategy. She would spare the boy's life for now, take him back, and let her companions study and analyze what went wrong.

"Young man, if you don't understand women's hearts, you won't be able to pass my test."

That's not necessarily true!

Gensou didn't say much, but simply raised his wand and used lightning magic. Amasaki Ren, on the other hand, chuckled and looked around for energy items to replenish her health, lest the kid in front of her run out of knight gauge due to a plot-induced death. But as he looked around, he suddenly realized something was wrong and turned around sharply. To his surprise, he saw his cute girls 'dancing' amidst the lightning, with hearts floating out from their heads.

"Oh no, you...you guys still like this kind of thing?!"

As if his worldview had been shattered, Amasaki Ren stared in shock at the scene before him. This was completely beyond his imagination. This was his follower in the game! Why didn't he know it had this attribute?

"I never expected that Grandpa was right."

Yuanxiang looked at the staff in his hand with a wry smile. His grandfather had said when he was drunk that so-called love was nothing more than a surge of hormones and changes in the cerebral cortex. As long as a certain electrical stimulation was given, the same thing could be achieved. Therefore, Yuanxiang had secretly tried it on himself, wanting to experience the taste of love. But the result was that he was electrocuted and sent to the hospital. His grandfather had repeatedly warned him that it was just his drunken talk and that he should not take it seriously.

However, I still have to thank Cyclone for his assistance. If it weren't for Cyclone helping to control my damage output, I would probably have been killed by another mechanic.

"Alright, we can end here now."

Genji threw down his staff, then grabbed his knight's armor and charged at Amasaki Ren. This time, without any protective mechanism, the fatso was no match for Genji. With a game effect lighting up, Amasaki Ren fell to the ground with a wail, her health depleted.

Phew... I really didn't expect it to be this troublesome.

Seeing the maid bugsters disappear, the boy breathed a long sigh of relief. But then, he saw Amasaki Ren suddenly stand up from the ground, maintaining her bugster form, standing there stiffly. Startled, Genji quickly grabbed his weapon and aimed it at him to prevent any further moves. But he only saw the guy mechanically make a few hand gestures and say in a completely emotionless voice:

"I love you in this world".

"boom!!!"

As his words fell, an explosion suddenly rang out. At that moment, the game completion notification came from "Kamen Rider Chronicles," and the new bugster completion cartridge fell into Gengo's hands.
