There is no tragedy in Kamen Rider

"It's okay, Miss Mayumi. I came here mainly to ask you something."

……

Apartment downstairs.

Hojo Toru looked at Hikawa Makoto coming down and walked up.

"Officer Hikawa, it seems that unknown has appeared again. The victim this time is not related to the Katahira family last time."

"I understand. Let's arrange some personnel to protect the victim's family this time."

After saying this, Hikawa Makoto was about to get in the car and go to the victim's home to protect him, but he was stopped by Hojo Toru.

"Officer Glacier, I already know about your past. I have reported the situation to my superiors and asked them whether you are really suitable to be the equipment operator of the G3 system, but they refused, so I went to investigate."

"I didn't expect that Officer Glacier was the hero of the Dawn incident. It's really surprising. That happened half a year ago. You single-handedly rescued the passengers and crew of the Dawn from the storm. Although one passenger is still missing, you are still a hero."

"But the Metropolitan Police Department wants people to forget about this matter, which means that the matter cannot be mentioned. So the headquarters promoted you to the G3 system equipment operator as hush money for this matter. Am I right? In other words, you accepted a bribe!"

Hikawa Makoto was speechless as he looked at the self-righteous Hojo Toru in front of him. He was very angry in his heart, but he still patiently kept his temper and didn't say anything.

"I take my leave."

Hojo Toru looked at Hikawa Makoto who was leaving and laughed immediately. He thought that Hikawa Makoto left because he was right.

……

Beside the coast.

Ashihara Ryo met Katahira Mayumi as scheduled and looked at the scenery in front of them under the sunset.

"Ryo, it looks like the world is really peaceful after all. What happened yesterday seemed like a dream."

"Don't worry Mayumi, I'll be with you."

"Ok!"

When Mayumi Katahira heard Ryo's words, the sadness in her heart immediately faded a little and a smile appeared on her face.

"Liang, can I ask you a question? You didn't answer me before, but I still want to know why you gave up swimming? I'm happy that you can support me, but I also want to be your pillar."

Ashihara Ryo looked at Mayumi Katahira who was concerned about him and hesitated. He wanted to tell the truth, but finally chose to compromise.

"Mayumi, you've been my rock. Just be sure to keep me around until you need me."

Katahira Mayumi listened to the perfunctory words of Ashihara Ryo beside her and immediately wanted to continue asking questions, but was interrupted.

"Run away!"

When Hojo Toru saw the Snake Lord appear, he shouted at the two of them immediately, then picked up a pistol and rushed out with Kono Hiroji, aiming at the black Snake Lord.

"Escape quickly!"

After saying this again, Toru Hojo immediately pulled the trigger.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

A gunshot was heard, and the bullet immediately attracted the attention of Snake Lord, giving Ashihara Ryo and Katahira Mayumi a chance to escape.

The Snake Master used his telekinesis to smash the bullet that was shot in front of him, and then walked up to the two of them with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

boom!boom!

After the Snake Master came in front of Hojo Toru and Kono Hiroshi, he knocked them away with one palm each.

"Ugh."

Hojo Toru fell to the ground and hugged his arm, feeling the pain. He became more eager to become a G3 equipment operator and gain power.

The Snake Lord looked at Hojo Toru and the other man who fell to the ground in front of him and stopped making any moves. After taking a look, he left directly and rushed towards Katahira Mayumi's location.

Ashihara Ryo pulled Katahira Mayumi by the hand and rushed towards where he parked his motorcycle, but after turning a corner, he was stopped by the Snake Lord who came over.

"Ho ho."

The Snake Master looked at Mayumi Katahira in front of him and laughed.

Chapter 8 Liang, I'm sorry

"asshole!"

Awihara Ryo looked at the Snake Lord who appeared in front of him, and immediately rushed forward with a roar, hugged the Snake Lord's waist, pushed him hard for a few steps, and then stopped.

"Mayumi, run away!"

Just looking at Awihara Ryo who was hugging the Snake Lord, she was still stunned in the face of the sudden change.

boom!

The Snake Master pushed Awihara Ryo away and threw him onto a container nearby, making a 'bang' sound.

"cold!"

Katahira Mayumi was brought back to her senses by the noise, and she shouted loudly at Ashihara Ryo who stood up and hugged Snake Master again.

"Mayumi, run away! Run away!"

After Ashihara Ryo hugged Snake Master again, he spoke loudly to Katahira Mayumi behind him.

However, Mayumi Katahira, who had just confirmed her feelings for Ashihara Ryo, looked at Ashihara Ryo in front of her with hesitation and conflict on her face.

"Liang... I don't want to..."

Katahira Mayumi looked at Ashihara Ryo in front of her and shook her head to refuse, with stubbornness and fear in her eyes.

boom!

Ashihara Ryo was once again thrown away by the Snake Master and fell in front of Katahira Mayumi.

Awihara Ryo looked at Katahira Mayumi, who was both scared and stubborn and wanted to stay. He stood up after staring at her, and said to her with determination: "Mayumi, don't you want to know why I gave up swimming? I'll tell you the reason now!"

After Awihara Ryo finished speaking, he let go of his hands and shouted out the sentence loudly without any hesitation.

"Mayumi, although it may scare you, I still want to say..."

"hen shin!!!"

Boom!

A ray of light appeared at Ashihara Ryo's waist, that was the transcendent factor of Gills' power!

"Haaah!!!"

After Awihara Ryo transformed into Gills, he roared loudly, and sharp claws grew on his arms and ankles.

"Ugh!!!"

After Awihara Ryo finished his roar, he rushed forward directly. The power in his roar directly activated the third eye on his forehead, "The Sage's Single Pillar", and he saw through the weakness of the Snake Lord in front of him.

Bang!

In a rage, Awihara Ryo rushed forward and knocked the Snake Lord away with one blow, then jumped onto the Snake Lord, opened his mouth and bit him directly.

At this moment, Ryo Ashihara, who was crushing the Snake Lord, did not notice the changes in Katahira Mayumi behind him after he transformed into Gills, or he had already thought of it when he decided to transform.

Katahira Mayumi looked at Ashihara Ryo who suddenly turned into a monster, and the stubbornness in her eyes immediately disappeared, leaving only fear.

Especially when she saw Ashihara Ryo's beast-like roar and fighting style, her love for Ashihara Ryo was being eroded bit by bit, until there was not a single drop left, and it all turned into fear of the unknown.

"Haha!"

After standing up, Awihara Ryo knocked Snake Lord away with a punch, then rushed forward with force and stabbed Snake Lord with the sharp claws that grew on his arms.

Boom!

After the sharp claws pierced the Snake Lord, a halo immediately appeared on its head, and then it exploded directly, turning into countless dust and falling down.

Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh!

After defeating the Snake Lord, Ashihara Ryo turned to look at Katahira Mayumi. Seeing her fall to the ground with fear and terror on her face, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he still tried to step forward and help her up.

However, Mayumi Katahira's fear and terror at the thought of him turning into a monster was beyond his imagination. After seeing him take a few steps forward, she started shouting loudly.

"No! Don't come over here! Liang, please, don't come over here!"

Ashihara Ryo looked at Katahira Mayumi in front of him, sighed in his heart, and turned and left.

Mayumi Katahira looked at Ashihara Ryo's departing back, buried her head in her chest, and spoke softly while crying.

"Liang, I'm sorry. I accept you as you are, Liang, I'm sorry..."

……

Outside Hanamura Bakery.

"So after you saved your ex-girlfriend's life, she dumped you again. But you deserved it. After all, you dumped her once before. Now it's even, right? Why are you sad? And the next one will be better and more obedient. What's there to worry about?"

Takahashi Toru was eating the sandwich in his hand, and after listening to what Ashihara Ryo said, he spoke in a joking manner.

"Takahashi, thank you for comforting me like this."

Ashihara Ryo listened to Takahashi Toru teasing and comforting himself, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond. After a long time, he finally said thank you.

"That's enough, you. But when you yell 'henshin', don't you feel so cool and powerful?"

"Come to think of it, I did feel that way at that time."

Listening to Takahashi Toru's words, Ashihara Ryo couldn't help but recall the feeling of his first transformation.

"The feeling of transformation is still very good, but if you feel that there is something wrong with your body after transformation, please stop first and come to me. As a senior, I still know a little bit."

"Well, I'll come find you. But forget about calling you senior."

Although Ashihara Ryo was very grateful for Takahashi Toru's help, he refused to call him "senior". After all, from the current contact, Takahashi Toru did not have the reliability and determination of a senior.

"Oh, right. Just now, Liang, you seemed to say that your ex-girlfriend would leave this afternoon. Aren't you going to see her off?"

"Takahashi, forget it. My presence now will only scare her."

As Awihara Ryo said this, he took a hard bite of the sandwich in his hand, trying to vent his feelings.

"Is that so? Then what are your plans next?"

"I don't know yet. But I have something else to do right now, so I'll leave first, Takahashi."

Ashihara Ryo looked at the time, ate the sandwich in his hand in a few bites, then said goodbye to Takahashi Toru and got on his motorcycle.

Takahashi Toru looked at the somewhat arrogant Awihara Ryo and just murmured, "You really say one thing and mean another, Ryo."

……

station.

"Well, goodbye Manayu and Shoichi, thank you for coming to take me back."

When Mayumi Katahira saw the train arrive at the station, she walked in and thanked Manao Fuuya and Shoichi Tsugami who came to see her off. She looked at the entrance of the platform with some anticipation.

"Goodbye, Mayumi-sensei."

"Ms. Mayumi, I will mail the carrots to you. You must remember to sign for them."

Mayumi Katahira on the train waved to Manao Fuuya and Sho Tsugami on the platform without showing any disappointment on her face until she saw a very familiar motorcycle in the distance.

'Liang, I'm sorry.'

Ashihara Ryo watched Katahira Mayumi leave, and only after watching her completely disappear did he come out from behind the telephone pole and ride his motorcycle towards the place called 'home'.

It seemed as if nothing had been said, yet it seemed as if everything had been said.

Chapter 9 Anyway, you can’t blame me!

Hanamura Bakery.

"Oh hey, Takahashi, I'm going back first."

"I understand, Uncle Hanamura. Did you forget to get your sandwich today?"

"Don't worry. I've brought Saya's copy as well."
