That's what she thought and what she did.

But is this really the case?

When I noticed that my coffee-loving friend was looking at me with strange eyes;

When he realized that the short-statured chairman who loved horse girls was his compatriot;

When he saw the silent commander-in-chief Sang looking at him with some despair...

Airi Hayabusa finally realized that what she now had did not actually belong to her at all.

When she realized that the people around her were suffering from her existence, she, who claimed to be rational, actually felt waves of phantom pain in her heart.

But the saddest thing is that even this heartache does not belong to me.

What she stole from other lives could not satisfy her as a protozoan, and in the end, she was left with nothing.

The hunger and thirst could not be quenched, and the emptiness and void filled Airi Hayabusa's heart the moment she realized this fact, almost suffocating her.

What an irony!

The empty shell-like insect copies others because of the emptiness, desperately trying to fill itself up, but because there are contents inside that do not belong to itself, the emptiness it gains increases exponentially.

Airi Suzuko regretted that she shouldn't have become Airi Suzuko, otherwise she wouldn't have been so miserable.

Fortunately, she made the legendary "regret medicine".

——Let everything end, ending the series of tragedies brought about by this pitiful race.

As she gazed at the newly completed mechanical rhinoceros beetle on the production table that was still shining with silver light, Airi thought so.

……

"Whoosh..."

In a dim underground garage not far from the Tresson Space Agency, Elly Tacho and Twin Turbine were sitting breathlessly in a relatively hidden location, waiting for the return of the East China Sea Emperor.

They still underestimated the Zerg's obsession with the Protozoa.

The number and quality of the alien insects that came to hunt down Alisuko this time far exceeded Alisuko's expectations.

If Twin Turbine was alone, with Steel Fighter's specialized capabilities for group attacks, he might be able to deal with these monsters and retreat safely if operated properly.

However, this was obviously impossible. With someone in need of protection, the twin-turbo, unable to move freely, naturally fell into a disadvantage. It took great effort to temporarily escape the crazy pursuit of the alien insects and come to the agreed place.

But this is only a temporary respite.

The alien insects were chasing them very closely. If the Emperor of the East China Sea did not arrive here within the agreed time, they would have to evacuate, otherwise the crazy swarm of insects would soon come and tear them to pieces.

Fortunately, the Emperor of the East China Sea would never let them down under any circumstances. Without waiting too long, the Emperor of the East China Sea came here and shared with them the information obtained from the investigation.

"Sure enough."

Airihazu nodded slightly, her face serious.

She had long guessed the truth about the ladder, and now it has been confirmed.

Compared to her and the Emperor of the East China Sea who were still relatively calm, Twin Turbine was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Hey! If that's the case, let's go and destroy that ladder! If that thing starts, it will be too late."

"Hahaha, that's true."

Airihazu agreed with the other party's words, but spread her hands helplessly.

"But, this thing will definitely be guarded by the strongest Zerg, right? Are you two confident that you can defeat the Zerg leader?"

"This……"

Twin Turbine was speechless, thinking back to the purple Zerg that had easily beaten six of his men to a pulp. Even as a loyal follower of the Mangzi Cult, Twin Turbine knew that the possibility of winning was slim.

She thought about notifying official organizations such as ZECT to assist her, but after analysis by Airi Hayabusa and the Emperor of the East Sea, she realized that ZECT, which had been infiltrated by protozoa and turned into a sieve, had become unreliable.

At this moment when everyone was at a loss, the Emperor of the East China Sea spoke.

"Well, the test should be almost over. You should also tell me the whereabouts of the Insect Transcendence Instrument and Ahe."

"That's right! If it's that Insect Transcendence Device, maybe we can defeat that Zerg leader!"

After the reminder from the Emperor of the East China Sea, Twin Turbine immediately saw hope.

She looked back at Elissako, waiting for her answer.

Seeing this, Elise nodded. Whether it was the Twin Turbines who tried their best to protect her, or the East China Sea Emperor who was always calm and reliable, she was sure that the two were people she could trust.

She took out an old work badge, and the Emperor of the East China Sea took a closer look and discovered that the bust printed on it was actually a younger version of the Lionheart Dusk.

"This is a keepsake. This guy is my work badge from when I was guinea pig number 1. There is only one copy of this in the world."

Airi Suzuko glanced at the work card with a smile, then handed it to the East China Sea Emperor.

"Take this and go find Junchuan. She will understand that I completely trust you. Then she will help you get the Insect Transcendence Device. As for your sister..."

……

"Freeze."

……

The field of vision shook violently in the next second. When the Emperor of the East China Sea came to his senses, the three people who were originally facing each other fell to the ground one after another.

The sudden sharp pain from her abdomen also made her groan in pain. In her shaky vision, the familiar yet unfamiliar purple-haired horse girl was standing next to the fallen Alice, reaching out to pick up the work card in her hand. 】

Starburst Abandon Healing Slash: Damn, there’s actually a Sixth Brother!

Emperor's Dance: This little guy has no moral principles. He came to cheat and attack me, a 23-year-old retired horse girl! Is this good? This is not good!

Pipichuan: What is Teacher Baoguo Donghai?

UMR: Wow, you are so strong, but you still use time stop to launch a sneak attack. Where is your dignity as a strong man?

Pipichuan: That doesn't exist. If you don't take advantage of the time stop to explain while using a combo on your opponent, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?

Wanting to go to heaven: makes sense!

[“You bastard!”

"HENSHIN!"

Twin Turbine, who also saw the horseshoe crab attack, widened his blue and purple eyes.

Also because the Steel Fighting Insect Instrument was always by her side, she completed the transformation even faster than the Emperor of the East China Sea. She gritted her teeth and rushed towards the horseshoe crab while enduring the severe pain in her body.

"Ha~"

However, such a charge was met with the horseshoe crab's soft laughter, and it didn't even need to show its status as an alien insect.

The horseshoe crab dodged Twin Turbine's punch with a backflip, then let out a weird cry of "Ah Da!" just like the protagonist in the Chinese Kung Fu movies he had seen in the past, and rained punches on Twin Turbine's chest.

It was clearly the pink fist of a beautiful girl that looked very soft, but the twin turbo only felt as if it was hit head-on by a car, and the pain it felt was no less severe than that caused by the alien insects in the past.

This violent series of attacks ended with a knee strike from the horseshoe crab, and Twin Turbine flew backwards. After hitting the wall, he fell to the ground and his transformation ended. He felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart, and for a moment he couldn't even get up. 】

Two jets: Ah this...

Nayako: Okay, being beaten by a physical body without any ability to fight back, is this the God of War?

Li Sanguang: As expected of the God of War, he easily accomplished what other Kamen Riders couldn't do!

The dead fish eyes of the Great Teacher: Stand still, stand still. Bow.jpg

Iron Lady: I'm not surprised at all. Is it that the twin turbo is too weak? Or is it that the horseshoe crab is too strong? I can't say.

NEET Detective: From the beginning of the battle to being defeated by the flesh, it took a total of 32 seconds, powerful! You are so powerful!

SoybeanBreadyyyds: Actually...Origami once was fighting with Kotori, and he was defeated in less than 4 seconds.

Origami Master: ...

CEO of Rhodes Island: You guys who are only good at speed won't understand. When you are defeated, you have to be innovative. Look at Theresa. Every time she is defeated, she uses her life to do it, and every time she dies, she dies in a new way!

ZIO II: Indeed, it is like an assembly line product and a handmade old signboard...

Demon Cluster: I don’t think it’s very OK. Are you talking about your horse?

Fruit King: Well, then I think Mr. Quwen’s deflated expression and posture are quite innovative!

Sessile Bird: What are you competing for?

[“Hehehe! You are still a little naive if you want to fight me.”

Horseshoe Crab adjusted his black windbreaker, turned around and walked towards Elissako who had already climbed up and was slowly running away while holding onto the wall.

"Okay, give it to me. Since I'm in a good mood today, I can promise to let you go this time, and my men won't come after you again."

"What? The Zerg leader is actually interested in a work permit?"

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Airi Suzuko simply turned around and looked at the other person with a smile.

The horseshoe crab took a look at the ID card with the headshot of Dusk Lionheart and touched his chin.

"Collecting human work permits? That seems interesting. But this time it's not for this purpose. I'm more interested in the Insect Transcendence Device."

"Then you may be disappointed. Not everyone who gets this thing can get the Insect Transcendence Device. It is just a signal after all."

"It's okay. I'll just ask my subordinates to copy the two people behind me."

The horseshoe crab shrugged indifferently, then extended his hand to Ai Lizhi.

"Okay, give me the stuff before my good mood is exhausted!"

"This is not okay."

Ai Lizhi shook her head and tore the work permit into pieces under the gloomy gaze of the horseshoe crab.

"Hahaha, you already have Freeze, you can't be too greedy as a bug~"

"Is that so? Then go die!"

With five fingers together, the horseshoe crab turned its palm into a blade and stabbed fiercely at the horse girl in a white coat in front of him. At the critical moment, the armored insect instrument drilled through the ground above and rushed out, knocking away the horseshoe crab's thrust and was bounced into the hands of the Emperor of the East China Sea.

"The president once said that I am the center of the world, so I am responsible for saving all the lives in the world."

"Oh?"

Shaking his hand that was knocked away, the horseshoe crab looked at the Emperor of the East China Sea. As if his enthusiasm was short-lived, the expression on his face turned into a lack of interest.

"Why is your guild leader saying this... Never mind. I haven't got the stuff yet. I'm not interested in playing with you weaklings anymore."
