"Sorry, sorry, I just had my professional habit kick in again. Even though I haven't been a comedian for a long time, I still couldn't help but want to create some entertainment value."

After hearing Izu's reminder, Hiden Aruto finally realized what was happening. He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, a slightly awkward smile on his face.

"President, your sense of humor remains as good as ever."

Looking at Hiden Aruto with his silly smile, Jesta seemed to see the boy who had just been brought back to the company by Izu several years ago. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. Although the movement was small, it was indeed a smile.

"Hey, Jesta actually smiled! Iz, did you see that?"

Hiden Aruto, who had been keeping an eye on Jesta, naturally noticed the faint smile on her face. His eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

“I see, President Orito. This is a normal phenomenon. After all, Jesta’s emotional expression module is functioning normally. At the same time, she is also a human-machine puppet that has awakened the technological singularity, so she naturally has emotions. It’s just that a lot of her work usually takes up most of her computing power, so her facial expressions and reactions are often quite suppressed.”

With a slightly puzzled look at Hiden Aruto, Izu nodded gently and began to explain Jesta's current condition to her president in a very calm tone.

"But this is a historic moment, after all, I've known Jesta for so long and I've never seen her make such an expression before!"

Faced with Izu's indifferent reaction, Hiden Aruto exaggeratedly clutched his chest, putting on his best acting skills.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now and pack up my belongings."

Jesta's gaze first swept over Izu, who stood calmly beside Hiden Aruto, before returning to Hiden Aruto. Jesta's expression returned to normal, except that her eyes held a hint of tenderness.

"Okay, go take care of your own business first. I'll explain the situation in that world to you in detail when we're ready to leave."

Having suppressed his exaggerated, comical expression, Hiden Aruto nodded seriously and spoke in a deep voice. After receiving Hiden Aruto's reply, Jesta bowed slightly and turned to leave the office.

“That’s great. With Jesta’s help, Isaac can relax a bit and do what he wants to do.”

After the office door was closed again, Hiden Aruto, who had been standing, let out a long sigh of relief, relaxed his body, and lay down on the office sofa.

"President Aruto, you seem to be quite concerned about Jesta's reaction just now."

Walking over to Hiden Aruto, who was lying on the sofa, Izu stared at him, who hadn't shown such a lazy expression in a long time, her brows furrowing slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.

"Yes, because Jesta usually has a cold demeanor, I'm very happy to see her relax a little and smile now."

In response to Izu's question, Hiden Aruto sat up from the sofa, stretched his body slightly, and then smiled and spoke.

"Is that what it is?"

Tilting her head, Izu blinked gently, as if trying to understand Hiden Aruto's current emotions.

"After all, my dream is to make everyone, whether human or robot, laugh from the bottom of their hearts."

After relaxing his body slightly, Hiden Aruto leaned back in his chair. Every time he talked about his dream, his face would reveal a longing for the world after his dream came true.

"The power of the locusts and time-space knights from the Heisei and Reiwa eras has been collected, so all that's left is the power of the Showa era Kamen Riders."

Walking through the gray-white time-space curtain passage, Tsukasa Kadoya looked at the dozen or so knight alchemy cards that stored the power of the knights, and couldn't help but mutter a sentence to himself.

These Rider Alchemy Cards were blank cards that Tsukasa Kadoya obtained from Isaac before leaving the DC universe, and then borrowed power from some senior and junior Riders.

"A Showa-era grasshopper-themed Kamen Rider? But I remember that most Showa-era Kamen Rider forms are based on grasshoppers, which means we need to visit all the Showa-era predecessors."

Upon hearing Tsukasa Kadoya's mutterings, Yusuke Onodera, who was standing beside him wearing a red long-sleeved jacket and blue jeans, frowned and pondered for a moment before bursting into laughter.

As the original Kamen Riders, both No. 1 and No. 2 were based on grasshoppers, which is common knowledge. In addition to them, the Sky Riders of the Showa era, ZX, Black, Black RX, Shin, ZO and J were also based on grasshoppers, which meets Tsukasa Kadoya's collection criteria.

"Yes, that's why I feel it's a bit troublesome. After all, those senior figures are really difficult to deal with."

After putting the knight alchemy cards back into his pocket, Tsukasa Kadoya shook his head slightly with a hint of helplessness. He was truly helpless against those Showa-era veterans.

If it weren't for the fact that Kiryu Sento and the others' plan to enhance Isaac's power required the power of these Showa-era veterans, he really wouldn't want to go looking for these guys.

"Hahaha, it's no wonder that the seniors are a bit unhappy with you, since you always caused trouble before." Looking at Tsukasa Kadoya's worried face, Yusuke Onodera, who was walking beside him, couldn't help but laugh and pat him hard on the shoulder. He knew all too well why his friend looked like this.

——————————————————————————————————————————

While Tsukasa Kadoya, Kira, and Aruto Hiden were busy with their own things back in their respective worlds, Sento Kiryu, Ryuga Banjou, and Jellami, who remained in the DC Universe, were also carrying out a plan they had discussed long ago.

Given the current situation, with Tokiwa Sougo, the Oma Zi-O, they should have little difficulty dealing with the Hundred Worlds Organization.

However, considering that there are still many Super Sentai items and technologies in the Hundred Worlds, just in case, Kiryu Sento and his group decided to further enhance their combat power. In addition to sending Kadoya Tsukasa and Kira back to gather manpower, they also planned to use some technologies and materials unique to the DC universe to strengthen their combat power.

To this end, Kiryu Sento also borrowed Isaac's Gorchag Holy Sword FX and Flame Thruster, wanting to study these two enhancement items born from the combination of DC's native power, in order to explore the idea of ​​fusion with DC's native power.

Of course, in exchange, Isaac also obtained the right to research the transformation and enhancement items from Kiryu Sento and Ryotaro.

So apart from that day when he went on a date with Kara and Zatana, Isaac now spends almost every day after school at the alchemy base, studying these rare items.

Through the specially customized floor-to-ceiling protective window, Kiryu Sento, who was making an OK gesture to himself in front of the control panel, and Isaac, who had already transformed into Kamen Rider Gochard Blue Lantern Flame Steam Hopper form, let out a soft breath, reached out and closed the alchemy lever of the driver, pulled out the two Kemika cards, and canceled the transformation.

"Senior Zhan Tu, how is your research on combining the power of the knights with the local power system going?"

Emerging from the testing lab, Isaac approached Kiryu Sento, who was standing in front of the control panel, frowning and deep in thought, and asked him with some curiosity.

Although he obtained the enhancement items from his fellow Kamen Riders, Isaac was only able to research a little bit about the Zero-One series and the Build series. As for the Den-O, Wizard, and Zi-O systems, he really couldn't research them.

"Well, I've made some progress. I have some ideas on how to improve the Genius Form of Rider Build."

Faced with Isaac's question, Kiryu Sento's previously furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he smiled as he briefly explained his current research progress to his junior.

Having mastered the power of 60 Fullbottles, Kiryu Sento, in his final form, Build Genius, is now somewhat dissatisfied, since this thing has only managed to suffer defeats most of the time in battle.

Although he and Ryuga Banjo had mastered the ability to freely transform into the pinnacle of the Rider Build series—Cross-Z Build—the conditions for this transformation were indeed too demanding.

In addition to needing both Kiryu Sento and Banjou Ryuga to maintain a danger level of 7 so that the two Fullbottles, Ryu and Toto, can evolve and fuse with the Genius Fullbottle to form the Cross-Z Build Fullbottle, the transformation also requires both of them to be present and merge into one.

However, after studying Isaac's Gorchak FX and Flame Thruster, he had a slight idea of ​​how to enhance and improve the Genius Form. That was to start with the Danger Activation Device and use DC's technology and materials to enhance and modify this enhancement item.

"Hey Isaac, it's time for our workout. As a scientist, in addition to the necessary research skills and knowledge, you also need to have good physical fitness."

Just as Isaac was about to ask Kiryu Sento how he planned to combine DC's local forces, Jerami, dressed in a casual, loose white hoodie and light blue jeans, suddenly walked over, gently patted his shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Uh, I understand, Jerami-senpai."

After hearing Jerami's words, Isaac could only temporarily put aside his thoughts of communicating with Kiryu Sento, obediently nodded, and followed Jerami out of the research facility, heading towards the training ground.

"War Rabbit, is the plan to enhance Isaac's strength really feasible?"

After watching Isaac and Jerami disappear from his sight, Ryotaro, who had walked over with Jerami, approached Kiryu Sento, who was looking down at the data again, and asked hesitantly.

"Hmm~ I think it's quite feasible. This is a plan I devised based on the process of developing enhanced forms for Kamen Rider Gochad in our Kamen Rider universe, provided by Shi-senpai and Sougo."

Faced with Ryotaro's question, Kiryu Sento, who was browsing and analyzing data, didn't even raise his head, but calmly explained to his senior.

In fact, Kiryu Sento himself wasn't too sure whether the plan would succeed. After all, all his knowledge of Kamen Rider Gochad's successor in the Kamen Rider universe was based on the accounts of Kadoya Tsukasa and Tokiwa Sougo, as well as some information he had gleaned from Isaac.

Meanwhile, Isaac, who was heading to the training ground with Jerami, saw Zatana, Rachel, and Haruto Soma, the three magicians, exchanging their magic as they passed through the living room.

The reason Zatanna and Rachel were here was because, after it was confirmed that the battle would require the participation of the native DC Knights, Isaac brought them here specifically and introduced them to his seniors.

Zatana, of course, needs no introduction. Having obtained the Alchemist Driver from Isaac, and now being Kamen Rider Mojade, she naturally wouldn't miss this battle. As for Rachel, Pretty Cure is known as the fourth largest tokusatsu series, so her presence here is quite normal.

After learning from Isaac that Haruto Soma, who claimed to be a senior Kamen Rider Wizard, was a magician from the Kamen Rider world and possessed magical knowledge completely different from that of the DC universe, Zatana and Rachel, the two magicians, were naturally eager to obtain magical knowledge about the Kamen Rider world from him.

However, after learning from Haruto and Isaac that Haruto, the ring-wearing magician, possessed a magical source within him and could generate magic on his own without needing to borrow any, Zatana and Rachel became even more interested in him.

Seeing the three of them having a slightly excited discussion, Isaac wisely refrained from interrupting. Instead, he silently followed Jerami, the senior, towards the training ground, ready to begin today's workout.
