Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

only……

"Ah! Smith Marseille!... Oh! Sorry!... Hey hey hey! Get out of the way!"

In stark contrast to Shinichi's peaceful life, on the other side, Mai was busy serving customers in the coffee shop. She spilled coffee on a customer, hit a customer on the head with a plate, and sent food to the wrong customer...

Although Zhenyi looks delicate and cute, she is far from being delicate when it comes to work. She is careless, careless, clumsy, and totally careless.

It’s no wonder that working can lead to a situation where you can’t even afford a place to live. Whether the wages earned from working that day are enough to compensate is another matter…

Even the store manager couldn't stand seeing her clumsy appearance, and pulled Mai into the kitchen helplessly: "Hey... Mai-chan, if you really can't do it, you should go to the kitchen to wash the dishes..."

Mai went into the kitchen and was replaced by another cute girl. Her temperament was completely different from Mai's. She had a waist-length ponytail and wore black-framed glasses. She was quiet but energetic, and her professional skills as a waitress were also excellent.

The girl was seen wearing a butler's uniform and moving among the customers with ease. She processed all the accumulated bills in just a few minutes.

After quickly solving the customer service problem, the girl seemed bored. She came up to Shinichi and started a conversation with him curiously: "Are you the good friend that Miss Mai mentioned?"

"Oh, yes, my name is Kadoya Shi."

"Well~ I've already learned it from Miss Mai. My name is Izumi Tomoka, and Mr. Kadoya, please give me your guidance." As she said this, the girl leaned back on the sofa and stretched out her hand to Shinichi.

Shinichi smiled softly, held the girl's hand, and said, "Please give me your guidance~"

After getting to know each other, Quan Youxia leaned close to Shinichi's ear with a curious look on her face and whispered, "I heard from Miss Mai that you seem to be living with her? Hey! Could it be that you are boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Shinichi quickly waved his hand to stop the girl's gossiping imagination: "No, no, no, I just knew her for a short time, but she saved my life a few days ago. I saw that Mai was in a difficult situation, so I let her live with me as a reward."

"Oh~" Hearing this, the girl's eyes narrowed, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a face expression comparable to a funny one, and she muttered: "I understand~ I understand~ Mr. Kadoya's technique is very good~"

What do you understand!?

Shinichi shook his head helplessly and explained the reason to Youxia. The girl suddenly realized: "I was wondering why Miss Mai was in such a good mood these days. It turns out that she met someone who can support her.

Speaking of which, Miss Mai has been attacked by other knights recently. Although Miss Mai herself is a ninth-degree black belt and has strong fighting ability, she is always not in a fighting state when facing other knights..."

"Hmm? You also know about the knights?"

Shinichi was a little surprised that Tomoka in front of him could know so much about the Knight War. The girl adjusted her glasses and smiled, "Of course~ After all, I am also a knight~ Mr. Kadoya can guess which one I am~"

I have to say that while Shinichi was surprised, he also felt that this information made some sense. After all, the relationship between the characters in the Ryuki TV series was indeed very concentrated, and it can be fully evaluated by a saying of JOJO: Kamen Riders can attract each other!

Then it’s not surprising that the colleague working with Mai is also a knight.

But which knight is it...

Shinichi waved his hands and shook his head, "Khan~ How would I know? I don't even know which knights there are. But I am a little surprised that Miss Youxia is also a knight... Can you tell me the reason why you transformed into Kamen Rider?"

In response to this question, Youxia tilted her head and said casually: "Well~ I don't have such lofty ideals as Miss Mai. I transformed into Kamen Rider purely for my own selfish desires. I transformed into Kamen Rider so that I could meet someone."

"Meeting alone? Important?"

When the girl mentioned this, her expression became serious: "It's very important..."

"Who are they? Parents? Friends?"

"Well... this has to be kept secret, Mr. Kadoya. It's very rude to be too persistent in exploring a girl's secrets."

After saying that, Izumi Tomoka returned to her lively and easygoing expression at the beginning. After taking a look at the snacks on Shinichi's table that had been eaten up, she grinned and asked, "Hey~ Mr. Kadoya, how does the chocolate mousse I made taste?"

Zhenyi's eyes lit up and he asked, "You did it?"

"Hmmmm~"

"Well, my evaluation is..." Shinichi picked up the plate and said seriously: "Please have one!"

"OK~ Where's the coffee? Want a refill?"

“Free refills?”

"Uh~ Normally it's not allowed, but since you are Miss Mai's friend, Mr. Kadoya, we can try to deduct a little from Miss Mai's salary to refill your cup. Anyway, Miss Mai's salary this month is already negative, so it's better to have more debt~"

There is such an operation, what a show. Shinichi secretly felt pity for Mayi in his heart, and then honestly handed over the coffee cup and said, "Refill, another cup!"

"Hi~"

After saying that, Youxia returned to the backstage with the dinner plate and coffee cup, while Shinichi lay leisurely on the sofa. This was pretty good. The atmosphere of this coffee shop would be even better if there was a speaker and some background music.

Just as Shinichi was daydreaming, Youxia actually brought out a record player from under the bar, opened the drawer next to the bar, picked something up, took out a film, wiped it carefully, and placed it on the record player.

After clicking play, a light and casual melody came out from the record player, followed by a distorted sound caused by adjustments...

"Oh~~yeah, what we're living in? let me tell ya,

Oh yeah, what kind of environment do we live in? Let me tell you,

It's a wonder man can eat at all,

It's weird, man, everything is tolerated,

When things are big that should be small,

But everything is abnormal and beyond the ordinary..."

Listening to this prelude, Shinichi's eyes lit up again. Oh, not bad. This girl has good taste in music~

The film the girl chose happened to be Shinichi's favorite acid jazz song, "Virtual Insanity".

Shinichi was pleasantly surprised that his favorite song was played in such an unexpected way.

As the song played, Youxia came to Shinichi with a refill of coffee and a new cup of chocolate mousse and said politely, "Your meal has arrived. Please enjoy~"

"Thank you." Zhen nodded, then pointed to the record player on the bar curiously and asked, "Why didn't you take out this record player before?"

Speaking of this, Youxia smiled softly: "Well, it's because the store manager is afraid that Mai will break her record player, so when Mai is working at the front desk, she is not allowed to take out the record player."

"Ah... in this case, Mai really won't cry?" Shinichi smiled. Only a fool like Mai wouldn't care if they were treated differently in this way.

"It's okay~ Miss Mai won't mind~"

"That's right... This song is pretty good. Did you choose it?"

Youxia nodded and said, "Hmm~ It's a famous song. I really like the lyrics of this song. Do you like it too, Mr. Kadoya?"

"Of course I like it..."

Shinichi said, closing his eyes and feeling the climax of the song...

“Futures made of virtual insanity,

This future is crazy and chaotic,

now always seem to be govern'd by this love we have,

Now it seems that our love depends on

for useless twisting our new technology,

Useless and distorted new technology,

oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground,

Well, now no one has told us that we have been living in the dark..."

"Hey!!!"

Just as Shinichi was feeling the dynamics and charm of this famous song, suddenly, a sharp ringing sound reached Shinichi's ears. This was not a problem with the record player, but a hissing sound from the mirror world... A mirror beast invaded the real world.

Shinichi paused slightly while drinking coffee, and glanced at Quan Youxia calmly. Because of the stimulation of tinnitus, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead.

Then, from the kitchen, Mai Takahashi rushed out rashly. Under the yelling of the manager's grandmother, she apologized to the manager repeatedly, then quickly took off her coat, put on a red jacket and rushed out.

After rubbing his temple, Youxia sighed helplessly, said sorry to Shinichi, said hello to the store manager, and left the coffee shop without changing clothes.

Two employees were absent from work without permission, and the store manager was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Oh! These young people! Why are they all like this? Leave at least one to help look after the store!"

Seeing this, Shinichi smiled and shook his head. He quickly finished his mousse cake and coffee, put on his coat and left the coffee shop. It was a pity that he had to leave before he finished listening to a single song on this record player with such good sound quality.

"Well... let me see what the situation is like for the various knights in this Dragon Knight world line."

Chapter 74: Knights brawl!

In the downtown area, pedestrians were walking shoulder to shoulder, and in the midst of this busy flow of people, a black straight-haired woman wearing a reddish-brown coat was sitting on the street with her eyes closed, with a simple small wooden table in front of her.

A set of tarot cards was spread out on the wooden table in front of the woman, and it could be seen that the woman's profession seemed to be related to divination.

For a profession like fortune-telling, it is a matter of chance to gain some business. After all, whether others believe in fortune-telling or not is a matter of personal opinion.

However, it seemed that due to the woman's mature and mysterious temperament and beautiful face, the business of this fortune-telling stall was not bad. From time to time, a few white-collar workers would sit opposite the woman with shining eyes and ask for fortune-telling.

The woman accepted all customers and used tarot cards to tell fortunes for every customer. Most of the customers' fortunes were quite ordinary, such as some minor setbacks in relationships and minor troubles at work.

but……

"Sir, your fortune today is very bad."

The woman looked at the divination result in front of her, then raised her eyes to look at the white-collar worker in a suit.

"Ah? Not good? What's wrong?"

"Well... according to the divination results, you may encounter a life-changing event today. If you can get through it safely, everything will go smoothly in the future. If you can't..."

"Uh...haha, girl, what you said is too sensational. What kind of life-changing event could happen to an ordinary clerk like me?"

The white-collar worker didn't seem to believe the result. He just laughed it off and treated it as a joke. He paid the woman for the divination and left the divination booth in disappointment.

The woman looked in the direction the white-collar worker left, sighed slightly, and closed the stall.

In fact, the divination result the woman mentioned was already a euphemism. The real divination result told her that the white-collar worker in front of her would die today!

To be on the safe side, the woman decided to follow the white-collar worker to see what was going on. After all, it was not her character to stand idly by and watch such things.

After packing up the stall, the woman seemed to remember something and started fiddling with the tarot cards on the floor: "Ah, come to think of it, I haven't read my fortune yet today..."

After closing her eyes and shuffling the tarot cards in her hand, the woman spread them out, sorted them, and selected three cards.

As the three cards unfolded one by one, the woman got the following ranking: Lovers upright, Samsara upright, Justice reversed.

"Hmm?" The woman raised her eyebrows. The result of this divination surprised her a little. According to the instructions of the Tarot cards, she will meet a noble person today, and this noble person will change her own predetermined destiny.

However, this noble person may have a little peculiar personality, be paranoid, inconsistent, and arbitrary, and getting along with him may cause great conflicts...

interesting.

The woman did not continue to interpret it too much. She narrowed her eyes, put away the tarot cards, and followed the white-collar worker.

I don’t know how long I followed the beast, but the woman suddenly heard a hissing sound in her ears.

“Shush!!!!!!”

"Um...Mirror Beast?"

The woman's expression froze, and she quickly rushed towards the white-collar worker in front of her. However, the mirror reflected that the white-collar worker's neck was already wrapped with a ball of spider silk. Before the woman could step forward to stop it, the white-collar worker felt a pain in his neck, and his body was involuntarily lifted into the mirror on the side!

"Damn it!"

The woman, who was a step slower, immediately stepped forward to look at the mirror where the white-collar worker was dragged into. At this moment, the white-collar worker had been tied up with spider silk by a giant spider monster and was being pulled into its mouth little by little.

The woman cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and took out a card box with a manta ray pattern printed on it from her pocket and held it up to the mirror.

"Henshin!"

The woman embedded the card box into her belt, and with the overlapping of double images, she transformed into a Kamen Rider in magenta, with a ray-shaped summoner on his left hand. After taking a deep breath, the knight also went into the mirror.

"Drink!!!"

With a cry, the Magenta Knight descended from the sky and used the summoner to directly cut off the spider monster's silk. Then he took out a card from his hand and stuffed it into the summoner.

"Sword vent!"

With a mechanical sound, a whip with thorns appeared in the hands of the Magenta Knight, and the Magenta Knight quickly began to fight with the spider monster while holding the whip.

However, the Crimson Knight was clearly very experienced in combat, and his whip dance was both graceful and deadly. Every swing of his whip could chop the monster into a bloody mess, causing the spider monster to wail constantly.

"Tsk, what a pity, there is no card with high stats like Mai's Assault Arrival."

While whipping, the woman secretly cried out in regret, the Manta Knight she transformed into was a technical knight, without high-value cards like the Dragon Knight with great power. To deal with the Mirror Beast, except for its final arrival, she had no particularly effective means of harvesting.

Although Mai would occasionally envy her for having special cards, the effects of special cards were generally not very effective against monsters, so she would also envy Mai's transformed dragon knight for having so many practical numerical cards.

Simply put, she is good at PVP but not PVE.

Just when the manta ray was hesitating whether to use her final advent, a knight had already made the decision for her.

"Final vent!"

"Ow!!!"
