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

"You imposter bastard, don't talk nonsense!" The one who spoke was none other than Shotaro, who had rushed over from a long journey!

The strange man looked at him and asked curiously:

"Oh? Who are you?"

Shotaro's lips twitched.

You're impersonating a Kamen Rider, but you don't even know the Kamen Rider's true identity?

"I am the Kamen Rider you were impersonating!"

"What exactly are you trying to do, you bastard?"

Shotaro's face was full of anger.

"Oh, it's you in person."

The strange man suddenly realized, and looked at Shotaro with interest. "We met earlier than I expected. I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"

As the strange man said this, he raised the machine gun in his left hand and fired without saying a word.

“Bang bang bang——!!!”

"Hen-shin!" (Transformation!)

Shotaro was shot several times, but luckily he transformed into Kamen Rider W in time.

And his partner Philippe was also unharmed.

Before Shotaro could even breathe a sigh of relief, the imposter in front of him had already ridden away on his motorcycle.

"Asshole, don't run!"

Shotaro cursed under his breath and was about to give chase when he suddenly noticed something, bent down and picked up a smoking metal fragment from the ground where the strange man had been standing.

"Is this something that guy left behind? It feels like a clue, Philip!"

As Shotaro Zuo said this, Philip's voice echoed in his mind: "Hmm, it should be. Bring it back so I can take a good look at it."

................

"In addition, Shotaro, Akiko and I have made some new discoveries about Fuyumi Aso's identity."

"what?"

Shotaro Sato frowned.

......

Not long after, a rock climbing gym.

Fuyumi Aso was climbing diligently.

I didn't notice that there was suddenly someone next to me.

Akiko, with a fake smile on her face and a hint of malice in her eyes, said, "Hello, client. We found the culprit, but he escaped."

"You can just call and report all this to me," Asou Fuyumi said with a laugh, clearly not taking it to heart, after all...

Just find that guy.

Instead of catching it.

"I'm afraid that won't work. There's something we need to clarify face-to-face."

"I'm saying... you're not a bank teller at all, are you?" Akiko's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

Asou Fuyumi's face remained expressionless, but her heart was in turmoil. She hadn't expected the woman in front of her to have discovered it so quickly.

He clearly doesn't seem very bright...

"We've investigated."

Aso Fuyumi snorted coldly and said, "Since you already know, there's nothing we can do. However, instead of arresting that guy, you'll investigate me."

"That's really unnecessary." Asou Fuyumi's previous gentle and approachable demeanor vanished.

"Ah, you turned on me so suddenly! This is your true colors!!!"

Akiko roared in disbelief, trying to climb towards Fuyumi Aso, but Fuyumi nimbly leaped down, leaving Akiko hanging on top, unable to get down for a while, and extremely angry.

"Ms. Fuyumi Aso, we absolutely must catch that fake Kamen Rider."

"I hope you can be honest with us and help us out." Although they had escaped Akiko's clutches.

But among those who came here was Shotaro Hidari, who stood in front of Fuyumi Aso and said...

Asou Fuyumi hesitated for a moment, but after looking at Akiko and Shotaro, who seemed determined not to give up, she finally made up her mind. "Do you know the Rose Twins?"

"It should be the name of the phantom thieves. They are a pair of elusive thieves who have caused a stir on TV shows before."

Shotaro Zuo said that he was somewhat aware of these things.

"I am one of the Rose Twins."

Aso Fuyumi said calmly.

"what?"

Shotaro Satoshi stared in shock, realizing that the frail girl in front of him was actually a phantom thief.

"Then wouldn't you be a wanted criminal?"

Akiko roared, and even while hanging in mid-air, she could still hear Fuyumi Aso's voice.

"My partner is Kenji Kurata. We send out notices and get what we want without shedding a drop of blood. That's our style. And the Kamen Rider I'm looking for..."

"Actually, it's my partner."

"Although we are phantom thieves, we would never do something like murder."

"But Jian'er now..."

"He would never have done something so outrageous before, so I want to find him and find out why he did it!!!"

Asou Fuyumi's face was contorted with pain.

They seem to not understand why their companions, with whom they spend every day, have become like this.

Akiko had managed to free herself by then, her breathing rapid and her hair disheveled.

"So you lied and asked us to find him?"

Chapter 54 Kurata Kenji! Lu Chen's Help! Saeko's Gratitude!

"I want to find Kenji no matter what and stop him from going on like that." Asou Fuyumi sighed. Theft and murder...

These are completely two concepts.

"So this is what you really want to entrust to us." Shotaro crossed his arms; he understood Aso Fuyumi's situation, after all...

Her identity is not honorable.

"Sigh, looks like this job has to be canceled. We can't take on a wanted criminal's case," Akiko said, feigning helplessness, trying to scare Fuyumi Aso, but...

"No, I'll take this commission."

Unexpectedly, before Asou Fuyumi could even try to win Akiko over, Hidari Shotaro had already made his decision. Both Asou Fuyumi and Akiko looked at him in surprise, and then they heard:

"but......"

"I have one condition for the reward: once I catch him, you two have to turn yourselves in together!"

Shotaro Zuo said earnestly.

"Why...?"

Asou Fuyumi hesitated, seemingly unable to understand why Shotaro would help her even though he knew she was a wanted criminal.

"As a detective in Fuuto, it is my duty to protect the people of Fuuto from harm and theft."

"Capturing that guy isn't just about helping you; it's more about protecting Fengdu!"

Shotaro Zuo casually touched the brim of his fedora with one hand, trying to look cool, while thinking to himself:

There is another reason.

That is......

As a Kamen Rider, I must catch this imposter who is ruining the reputation of Kamen Rider!

Akiko gave Shotaro a disdainful look, seemingly looking down on him.

"You're clearly a half-baked detective, yet you're putting on an act here. Are you trying to imitate my dad? What did my dad teach you?"

"what?"

"How could you say that!" Upon hearing this, Shotaro Satoshi became somewhat embarrassed and angry.

He looked so handsome at 187cm!

Damn it, Akiko ruined everything!

......

Narumi Office.

"Please hurry up, partner," Shotaro urged, seemingly impatient.
