In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

"Have you finally come to your senses?"

"The Yui Yuigahama who concealed her true feelings and constantly catered to others in order to maintain a false relationship, has reached the end of that phase."

"From then on, there were no more lies, and no more pretense."

"If you're attached to someone, then risk everything to get closer to them."

"Here, I call forth my true name."

Yui Yuigahama's mind went blank; she simply followed her heart and parted her lips slightly.

"Here, I call forth your true name."

"Pursue your obsession, Kiyohime!"

Mai Sakurajima, Miko Yotsuya, and Rio Futaba were all taken aback when they heard this.

"That's... awakening?"

The instant Yui Yuigahama finished speaking, a tall, blurry figure appeared behind her, reflected in the pouring rain.

The upper body depicts a beautiful woman.

His lower body, however, was like that of a python.

"Oh my, has it finally come to this?"

The moment Kiyohime appeared, she turned her gaze to Yoruhoshi, who was standing there, her eyes filled with intense infatuation and adoration.

"My master~"

"Huh...huh..."

Yui Yuigahama, who was demonstrating her ability to materialize her soul for the first time, was clearly suffering from the same physical and mental exhaustion as Miko Yotsuya and the others.

Even so, she clenched her fists and muttered to herself.

"Finally... I've become..."

Yui Yuigahama raised her head and first glanced at Yohoshi standing there, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Then she looked directly at Mai Sakurajima, Rio Futaba, and Miko Yotsuya in front of her, her eyes and expression becoming incredibly firm, and slowly spoke.

"Mai-senpai, Miko, Rio, let's settle this with our soul-embodied true forms!"

To Yui Yuigahama's surprise, Mai Sakurajima, Miko Yotsuya, and Rio Futaba merely exchanged glances upon hearing this, then simultaneously sighed and said in unison.

"What's the point of deciding a winner?"

This left Yui Yuigahama completely bewildered, and she stared blankly.

"That...right to be with Ye Xing?"

Upon hearing this, Rio Futaba's eyes, hidden behind her mask, revealed a genuine sense of speechlessness. She slowly stepped forward, patted Yui Yuigahama's shoulder, and spoke earnestly.

"Tuanzi, which version are you still in?"

"Eh?"

Yui Yuigahama was puzzled.

"I...I confessed my feelings to Ye Xing, don't you guys...have anything to say?"

Mai Sakurajima sighed, stepped forward slowly, took Yui Yuigahama's hand, and said softly.

"Tuanzi, this isn't a matter of life and death. Since we're all comrades who share the responsibility of saving Kyoto City, and even the world, there are some things... you should understand, right?"

Yui Yuigahama shook her head blankly.

"I don't understand, Mai-senpai."

Mai Sakurajima sighed softly, maintaining her gentle and polite tone.

"Anyway, let's deal with that serial killer first, and then we can discuss the rest together, okay?"

"That's...okay."

Although Yui Yuigahama didn't quite understand the current situation, she was clearly aware of it as well.

Catching the serial killer is the most important thing, rather than dealing with the emotional disputes among the members.

........

Half an hour later, outside the editor Suga's studio.

Despite its impressive name, this studio is actually just a semi-basement due to financial constraints.

Suga Natsumi sat in front of her computer, typing away at the keyboard, writing her daily draft.

Her uncle, who is also the owner of the Suga editing studio, went out to buy beer even though it was raining heavily outside, because he was craving alcohol.

"Dingling bell~~~"

Listening to the incessantly ringing phone, Suga Natsumi frowned slightly and muttered impatiently to herself.

"Honestly, it's almost 9 p.m. and they're still making phone calls nonstop. Don't these people know about rest time?"

She said that, but Suga Natsumi's thoughts had been interrupted, so she could only shake her head helplessly, walk over and answer the phone, speaking in a stiff tone.

"Suga Editorial Office, what can I do for you?"

The words coming from the other end of the phone made Suga Natsumi pause in surprise.

"I am Soichiro Yagami, the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department."

"Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department? You're calling to...?"

"There's no time to say more! Everyone in the studio must leave immediately. There's intelligence that there may be dangerous individuals present, and our Metropolitan Police Department is on its way."

"A dangerous person...?"

Suga Natsumi paused for a moment, then nervously pursed her lips and nodded.

"I see!"

Before she could hang up the phone, she suddenly heard a loud banging sound coming from the studio door, which startled her so much that her pupils contracted.

"Wait...wait a minute, this...this is..."

"Hello? Miss, are you alright?"

Seeing that Suga Natsumi on the other end did not reply, and hearing the series of crashing sounds coming from the receiver, Yagami Soichiro gritted his teeth and slammed his hand on the steering wheel.

"hateful!"

Upon receiving the notification from Kyoto Television, Soichiro Yagami did not hesitate at all and immediately dispatched his subordinates from the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Furthermore, because of the involvement of "Masked" in this incident, which is suspected to be a supernatural event, he specifically mobilized the riot police mobile unit.

Although Soichiro Yagami acted promptly, the heavy rain and flooding on many roads made it impossible for vehicles to pass, causing a considerable delay.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Soichiro Yagami cursed a few times, gritted his teeth, and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Everyone, turn on your sirens and drive at full speed! Get to the scene as quickly as possible!"

Finally, the teru teru bozu killer is right in front of us.

With a strong sense of justice, Souichirou Yagami absolutely does not want to see anyone else die at the hands of the enemy.

Seeing Soichiro Yagami's car speeding away, the voices of other Metropolitan Police Department members came through the walkie-talkie.

"Chief Night, the road ahead is too flooded to pass. We should take a detour..."

"What a load of crap!"

Looking at the rainwater that had accumulated dozens of meters away, forming a river half a meter deep, Yagami Soichiro not only did not slow down, but instead floored the accelerator.

"You guys take the detour, I'll rush over first!"

Soichiro Yagami silently prayed, hoping that the police car would perform well.

.......

Meanwhile, the members of the Xyzance team, riding atop a giant pale demonic hand, flew towards the location of the Suga editing studio.

"No matter how many times I ride it, I still feel a little uncomfortable..."

Hearing Yotsuya Miko's words, Futaba Rio shook her head helplessly.

"There's no other way, this is the quickest way. Even if it weren't raining, we wouldn't be suitable to take a taxi in our current state."

Immediately afterwards, Rio Futaba looked at Yohoshi and spoke solemnly.

Have you come up with a solution to the problem I mentioned?

Night Star replied casually.

"Yeah, almost."

After combining the true essence of the underworld, Rio Futaba made a conjecture.

The Teru Teru Bozu killer is not so easy to eliminate.

Admittedly, the members of the Xyz Society could defeat their opponent, obliterate their body, and crush the soul of this murderer.

However, there is one point that cannot be easily erased.

That's the fear that the name "Sunny Doll Killer" left in everyone in Kyoto.

According to Rio Futaba's speculation, even if the murderer is killed, it will be of no use if the residents of Kyoto City don't know that the teru teru bozu killer is dead.

The fear and negative impressions held by so many people will continuously accumulate in the underworld, creating one "Sunny Doll Killer" evil spirit after another, committing more horrific crimes, deepening the fear in people's hearts, and then spreading further in the underworld...

It's practically an endless loop.

The only way to break this cycle is to let everyone know that the Teru Teru Bozu Killer is dead, and to find a way to eliminate everyone's fear of that name.

"no problem."

Yoru replied to Futaba Rio, and a smiling white pattern appeared on her pure black mask.

"What I'm best at is abstraction."

168 Kyoto TV broadcast the entire event live, marking the first public appearance of "Kamen Rider."
