Masked W: I'm like peanuts or vegetables, and Saeko is outside the door.

......

"Next up is today's special segment: the battle of the temporary challengers!!!"

"Today, everyone here is a passionate singer, and the one who will choose the challenger is the authoritative judge, Ichiro Onuki!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, excited voices erupted from the audience, some of them rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

This segment allows audience members to come up on stage and perform, challenging the official contestants.

If successful, they can directly replace that contestant and continue participating in the program.

As Ichiro Ohno met the eager gazes of the audience, his eyes suddenly stopped on one spot.

"That boy, the boy waving the red scarf."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to him. Shotaro turned around, his eyes wide, looking at Philip in disbelief. The latter was holding a red handkerchief.

He now wore a yellow mask, and after being successfully selected, Philip confidently and calmly stated:

"Just like the results of my search, there is a high probability that Ichiro Onuki will choose the person wearing the red ornament in the right-hand hall."

"Alright, then... let's go, Shotaro." Philip gripped Shotaro's shoulder with a smile, but Shotaro was a little taken aback. When did he have to participate in this kind of competition? "Wait, Philip, are you going to...?"

"Yes, just like you think, we are the two-in-one masked singers!!!"

"If you want to find out if the judges really have problems, being a contestant is definitely better than sitting in the audience, right?"

Philip took out a blue mask and handed it to Shotaro, then stood up, looking somewhat impatient.

"what?"

Shotaro was on the verge of tears.

This is so sudden!

"It seems the lucky challengers have emerged. What songs will they sing? I can't wait to find out," said Ichiro Ohnoki excitedly, his eyes full of optimism.

"Alright, please come up on stage!"

Shotaro slumped in the audience, covering his face with a black hat, but Philip ruthlessly yanked it off.

"Please go this way."

The staff had already come to urge him on, and Shotaro was caught in a dilemma, clutching his blue mask tightly. Philip had already gone on stage and chosen his challenger... that's right...

Naturally:

"Jimmy Nakata!"

Upon hearing Philip's words, the judges' expressions changed, while the audience erupted in cheers.

They all supported Philippe.

......

"Tch, no matter who challenges him, they can't win." A hybrid in the shadows, who had been quietly watching all this, couldn't help but sneer after learning about Philip's target.

"Jimmy Nakata is a genius."

The dopant said slowly, his tone mocking, with a smug look on his face.

"You're that villain called the Radio Tower Clown, aren't you?" Just then, a discordant voice rang out; it was Terui Ryu approaching.

He looked at the hybrid called Radio Tower Joker in front of him without the slightest surprise on his face.

After all, he came here this time.

It's all for this guy.

"who are you?"

The radio tower clown asked warily, as almost no one knew he was there.

Why is this person coming here? And why does he look like he's up to no good?

"Now I'm asking you a question."

"In short, are you ready?"

"Takei Ryu said calmly, then took out the acceleration memory and pressed the switch."

【ACCEL!】

(accelerate!)

"Hen-shin!" (Transformation!)

With a determined look on his face, Terui Ryu inserted the Acceleration Memory into the Driver, turned the handle on the Driver, and instantly his body was covered with red metal armor. Kamen Rider Police Rider made his appearance!

Whether he is a police officer or a Kamen Rider or Lu Chen's subordinate.

This radio tower clown is always on the opposite side of him, so there's not much to say.

"go to hell."

As he spoke, Teruyuki gripped the engine-shaped sword and charged towards the radio tower clown!

......

Meanwhile, backstage, Philip was eager to try his hand at the stage, while Shotaro Sato was facing Jimmy Nakata's dissatisfaction.

"Detectives, you're clearly amateurs. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

Jimmy Nakata, guitar slung over his shoulder, looked at Shotaro and Philip in front of him, feeling somewhat resentful. He had originally thought Shotaro would become his fan, but who knew...

He's actually here to challenge himself.

"No...no, he acted on his own initiative." Shotaro Zuo sighed helplessly, quickly pointing at Philip, but this did little to quell Jimmy Nakata's anger. He scoffed dismissively:

"No matter what the truth is, you can't win even if you challenge me."

"My talent and my genius will prove everything, even if they don't understand."

As he spoke, Jimmy Nakata pointed to the audience outside, giving off a feeling of being the only one sober in a world of drunks. Shotaro Sato wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the host's words.

"Next up is the mysterious male duo that will challenge Jimmy: the Masked Singers!!!"

Upon hearing this, Philip immediately grabbed Shotaro and rushed onto the stage.

Akiko, sitting in the audience, clapped her hands in disbelief. She never expected this to happen—Shotaro and the others had come up on stage...

"The song they're playing is the number one hit of Wind 360, 'Finger Trigger'," the host announced loudly, and Philip turned to look at Shotaro.

"This is the best song I found that you can sing." Shotaro Zuo forced a sigh of relief. "Seriously, it's too late to run away now. Just grit your teeth and sing it."

Having given up on himself, Shotaro picked up the microphone and started singing along with the music.

You won't know until you sing it, and once you start singing, you'll be amazed.

Shotaro and Philip's singing was surprisingly beautiful, although this was mainly due to Philip, but even without Philip's contribution.

Only Shotaro Hidari was considered by the audience to be far better than Jimmy Nakata, so a huge cheer erupted from the audience, their faces filled with excitement.

Okay, that's it!

He can definitely beat Jimmy Nakata!

Shotaro Zuo didn't expect the effect to be so good, and gradually he felt relieved.

......

Unlike the passion here, Terui Ryu was watching the radio tower clown get up in a disheveled state.

“You’re really strong, my heart is pounding,” said the Radio Tower Clown.

Despite being beaten so badly, he showed no sign of nervousness, as if he had some trump card up his sleeve.

"Enough with the nonsense." Terui Ryu didn't listen to anything the person in front of him said. He only wanted to finish the fight quickly. His heavy sword slammed into the radio tower clown's body, sparks flying.

The radio tower clown was sent flying by a sword strike, crashing through a solid wall and falling to the ground.

Terui Ryu swayed and stood in front of the Radio Tower Clown. Without a word, Terui Ryu raised the Engine Sword and brought it down heavily on the Radio Tower Clown. At that moment, the latter said:

"I am a warrior of love, your sword cannot harm me!" Suddenly, a string of strange words slowly uttered from the mouth of the radio tower clown.

The text shot out towards the well dragon.

"Then give it a try."

Terujiro nonchalantly used the engine blade to block, these texts were completely harmless.

Pry open the sword hilt and insert the memory chip.

【ACCELMAXIMUMDRIVE!】

(Maximize acceleration!)

Terujiro leaped into the air, drawing a triangle shape in the air with the engine blade. The energy of the triangle-shaped blade instantly slashed towards the radio tower clown.

And it passed through his body without any hindrance.

"Despair is your fate."

As Terui Ryu landed, a massive explosion erupted behind him, accompanied by a scream: "My memory is shattered!"

When the firelight and dust cleared, the spot was empty, and Teruji frowned.

"They escaped."
