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

He removed the towel from his face and looked expectantly at a like-minded guest, who readily accepted the offer.

"Okay!"

She then sat up, and the towel on her face fell off, revealing her face.

The vast majority of online dating encounters that end in real life end terribly. Although Shotaro Hidari and this customer didn't actually meet online, but...

In the end, things didn't turn out as he had hoped.

He recognized the face hidden by the towel.

Upon recognizing who it was, Shotaro's smile vanished abruptly. It was Sudo Kirihiko!

Shotaro Hidari shouted in shock:

"How could it be you?"

Sudo Kirihiko was somewhat surprised to see that it was Hidari Shotaro, but he didn't think much of it.

Looking at Shotaro, his smile remained unchanged.

"Detective, we meet again."

"I said, you guys are so noisy..."

Just then, the third guest sat up and picked up a towel. His perfect face, which was so attractive to the opposite sex that it could kill instantly, came into Shotaro's view, and he was dumbfounded.

"Lu Chen?!"

Danger danger danger!!!

"Haha...long time no see..."

Shotaro Sato gave an awkward smile.

The previously cheerful atmosphere in the barbershop suddenly turned tense.

The shop owner, seeing this, couldn't help but wonder if these three knew each other before.

and......

Their relationship seems to be strained?

"Um... let's talk outside!"

Zuo Xiangtaro glanced at the boss, who was just an ordinary person, and made a suggestion. Upon hearing this, Sudo Kirihiko and Lu Chen had no objections, and soon after, in an empty and deserted place.

Shotaro Sato and Kirihiko Sudo stood facing each other, while Lu Chen leaned lazily against a stone pillar.

"I never expected to meet you in a place like this!" Shotaro said warily, while Kirihiko Sudo replied with a smile.

"I never expected to encounter a Kamen Rider other than the manager here."

"How did you know I'm a Kamen Rider?" Shotaro frowned in confusion. He didn't remember ever revealing his identity to Kirihiko Sudo. Was it Lu Chen who told him?

"I am Sudo Kirihiko." After introducing himself, he looked at Shotaro Hidari, who still appeared wary, and then said with a sudden realization:

"Oh, right, you should understand now that you see what I look like." As Sudo Kirihiko said this, he took out the T2 Nazca Memory.

NASCK!

(Nazca!)

Immediately afterwards, to Shotaro's astonishment, it transformed into the blue Nazca Dopant that he had seen before.

"So this is ah."

Shotaro understood. He only knew that Kirihiko Sudo was a salesman for the organization, but he didn't know that this guy was the Nazca Dopant.

It's the person who teamed up with Sonosaki Saeko last time.

"Let me formally introduce myself."

"Sudo Kirihiko, the owner of the Nazca Memory, is also a salesman under Manager Lu Chen. The Gaia Memory allows humanity to evolve towards perfection, and it's my responsibility to make them available on the market. I'm doing this for the manager..."

"It is my honor to be a member of the group 179603792."

"This is utter nonsense!" Shotaro frowned, his eyes blazing with anger. "What you're spreading are demonic tools that bring pain to this city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he put the W Driver on his waist and took out the T2 Ace Memory.

【JOKER!】

(trump card!)

"Wait."

Seeing this, Sudo Kirihiko raised his hand to stop him:

"This is a rare opportunity. Since you're about to transform anyway, could you please use your Fang Ace form?"

After asking.

He glanced at Lu Chen, who was not far away.

The latter nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, ever since the Philip capture operation, Lu Chen had told Sudo Kirihiko and Saeko that if they were to fight Kamen Rider W again in the future, they should try to play as much as possible.

And try to get the opponent to use the two Gaia Memory tokens, Fang and Ace.

Although Sudo Kirihiko and the others didn't understand why they were doing this, since it was Lu Chen's doing...

Even if you don't understand why.

They will do the same.

"Huh?" Shotaro was speechless. He even had to choose? After a cold laugh, he telepathically addressed Philip on the other end: "Did you hear that, Philip? What do you say?"

“I want to fight right away too.” Philip stopped searching and looked around the mess he had made of the room. “But that thing is gone.”

"What's missing?"

"The Fang Memory, we've been looking for it since early this morning, and we still haven't found it."

Even Akiko, who was searching nearby, couldn't help but exclaim, "Where did it go?"

Shotaro frowned and looked at Kirihiko across from him, saying, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. You'll have to make do."

【CYCLONE!】

(blast!)

【JOKER!】

(trump card!)

The two said in unison:

"Hen-shin!" (Transformation!)

【CYCLONEJOKER!】

(Gale Ace Form!)

Kamen Rider W has arrived!

Kirihiko was somewhat disappointed. "It's still the same form." Oh well, even without fangs.

But at least... we have an ace up our sleeve.

That's pretty much what the manager wanted.

Thinking of this, he raised the rapier in his hand.

He gently stroked the sharp blade with one hand, shook his head confidently, and said, "Then you will definitely lose."

"Heh, that's hard to say." Zuo Xiangtaro knew he was no match for Lu Chen.

But everyone else besides Lu Chen...

He doesn't think he'll lose.

In addition, because Lu Chen was right next to him.

Therefore, Shotaro was quite nervous, wondering if Lu Chen really intended to harm him...

But I don't think so.

After all, if Lu Chen really wanted to harm him.

He was already dead in that warehouse.

With that in mind, Shotaro took a deep breath and prepared to fight Sudo Kirihiko seriously.

however!

What a bang!

In an instant, Sudo Kirihiko's figure swept through the air like a gust of wind, the sword he gripped tightly drawing a silver arc in mid-air, man and sword becoming one, transforming into blue and white lightning and rushing straight towards Shotaro.

The speed of the movement was so fast that one could barely see the afterimage; the power was so great that it seemed to tear the surrounding air apart, sending chills down one's spine.

Shotaro instinctively pulled back, trying to avoid the attack. However, Kirihiko Sudo's speed far exceeded his expectations. The sword energy was like a bone-deep infection, and it was already close to him in an instant.

He couldn't dodge in time, and all he heard was the piercing sound of the sword striking his armor.

Amidst dazzling sparks, Shotaro Hidari endured the pain and retreated, then launched an attack on Kirihiko Sudo. However, Kirihiko Sudo was simply too fast; he attacked quickly and dodged even faster!
