Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

"Boom!"

The earwig-toothed vampire had no time to resist. Its body suddenly shuddered and slowly solidified into a pile of stained glass, finally shattering completely amidst a miserable scream of resentment!

A colorful ball of light appeared from the spot where the earwig-toothed vampire had died, quickly passing through the ceiling and disappearing.

Kino looked up, then focused her gaze on a man and a woman in the underground parking garage.

It turned out to be Akane Otoya and Aso Yuri.

These two are actually having a date in the underground parking garage?

“IXA, you are…”

Yuri Aso propped herself up and stood up, her gaze fixed on the white knight in front of her, her eyes even carrying an unspeakable hatred.

Although this hatred was not actually directed at him.

Kino deactivated her transformation, and her white armor transformed into a virtual anchor and was stored in her belt.

"It's you?!"

Yuri Aso was even more shocked when she saw him.

The Supreme Blue Sky Society actually gave the IXA system to a high school student who had just joined, but didn't even let her use it!

Akane, who had also witnessed IXA's first battle, stood not far away. His gaze towards Kino was even more complicated, and unusually, he didn't say much.

Yuri Aso shook her head in confusion: "Why? Why you? Why did you steal my IXA?!"

"Because you're not qualified to use it yet," Kino said earnestly.

"...?"

If she's not qualified, then who is?

Yuri Aso froze for a moment, then rushed forward, her emotions spiraling out of control, and roared, "Give it back to me! IXA ​​is mine, it's the culmination of my mother's life's work!"

Akane suddenly realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to grab Aso Yuri, who was clearly in a bad mood. She grabbed her hands and pressed her to the spot.

"Yuri, calm down!"

"Let me go! IXA ​​should be me—"

“Yuri, listen to me, you’re really not ready to use the IXA right now,” Akane said.

"..."

Hearing this, Yuri Aso was stunned again. She looked at Otoya Akane, somewhat incredulous that he had said such a thing to her.

Akane didn't know how to explain it to her for a moment. After reviewing the IXA test records, he knew that the current IXA system was definitely not something Aso Yuri's physique could withstand.

Even with this explanation, Yuri Aso might not be able to accept it.

Because the island's chairman had already told him that the IXA system was designed by Aso Yuri's mother before her death, and Yuri had been waiting for the IXA to be completed so that she could use this power to avenge her mother who died at the hands of the Fang Blood Demon.

However, now IXA has appeared.

But it wasn't hers.

"traitor!"

Yuri Aso abruptly broke free from Otoya Akane's grasp, gave them a deep look, bit her lip, and turned to leave.

Hongyin watched her leave with a sense of helplessness. After a long while, he turned to look at Kino.

"Are you ok?"

"I feel fine now."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Akane walked over and looked at the IXA fist gun in Kino's hand: "So this is what you've been trying to get into the Supreme Blue Sky Society for?"

"Well, and now the goal has been achieved!" Kino smiled.

"Then why do you continue to cooperate with their testing? You should know that this thing could take your life at any time." Hongyin looked at him with complicated eyes.

"Don't worry, I have two lives~" Kino said smugly, holding up two fingers.

"?"

Hongyin also looked on with disbelief.

Kino continued, "Furthermore, IXA needs combat data to be perfected. If no one uses it, a safer IXA system cannot be completed as soon as possible. You probably also want Aso Yuri to be able to use IXA one day, right?"

Hongyin chuckled and said, "Ah, that's right, that's what I was thinking. So why did you have the island guard refuse my request?"

"Because you'll die quickly," Kino said.

"………Hello?"

Akane also found it difficult to communicate with this person.

Kino then looked at the wall pillar on one side of the garage: "So, I found another person who dies slowly to team up with me, and the combat data he can obtain should be more comprehensive than yours."

The wolf, who had been watching from behind the pillar, stepped out.

But none of that matters right now. What Akane wants to know is why this guy's mouth is so sharp.

"Wait, I'm talking to you—"

……

Chapter 16's main body melted like cream.

After defeating the Earwig-toothed Blood Demon, Kino returned to the Supreme Blue Sky Club to lie down and receive treatment.

Although it has been roughly determined that his two world bodies are not interconnected, Kino has no intention of using up one of his time travel opportunities right away. After all, the Kiva world in 1986 is quite suitable as a beginner's village for leveling up.

The next day, Yuri Aso indeed went to confront the head of the island's security committee.

However, even if the IXA system was developed by her mother, the decision on the right to use it rests with the Supreme Blue Sky Association, and there's nothing she can do if the island protector disagrees.

So, in a fit of anger, Yuri Aso resigned!

"Could I have the salary she didn't want? After all, in a way, I'm working for her too," Kino suggested after hearing this.

"What are you going to do?" the island guard asked, somewhat helplessly.

"Because I think IXA needs a motorcycle. Yesterday, when that Fang Vampire escaped, I had to run after him. If some speed-type Fang Vampires appear, it will be very difficult to catch up," Kino said seriously.

"Knight Mechs? They're already under construction."

"Are they really doing it?"

"It's being done, it's being done..."

Shima felt that Kino's current state was like that of someone who had obtained a satisfactory toy. Whether the toy was prickly or not was not important; the main thing was that he found it fun.

He really is a weirdo.

……

That afternoon, Kino brought the real "weirdo" Tsuro to the Supreme Blue Sky Association, and the two had barely reached a consensus.

Then, to his delight, he watched as the second wolf also lay down.

Even the werewolf race couldn't withstand the side effects of IXA, so in a way, it can be considered a weapon.

"I want you to restrain the Fish-Men and Frankenstein's monsters as well. Since you've used human power, you're not allowed to attack humans anymore!" Kino said, staring at him.

"Those two have nothing to do with me and are not under my jurisdiction," Cilang said nonchalantly.

Kino grinned and leaned closer to his hospital bed: "Then I'll unplug your oxygen tube now~ and then give you electrotherapy!"

Second Wolf: "..."

Kino rested his chin on his hand and said leisurely, "Don't think I don't know that the three of you are sticking together for survival. You should tell those two that if they want revenge, they are not allowed to hurt humans anymore. If they want to be hunted down, I will tell the King of the Fang Blood Demons."

"Those two won't consider the consequences. Aren't you worried they'll just kill you?" Cilang scoffed.

“I’m not worried, because I’ll tell them where you are too, and you’ll think about them,” Kino said with a smile.

"..." The second wolf was speechless.

The fish-men might be wary, but the Frankenstein monsters are the epitome of simple-mindedness and physical prowess, so Kino must use the wolf to restrain them. As monsters themselves, they will trust each other's decisions more.

After all, these three monsters will become the power of "Kamen Rider Kiva" in the future. If we can't get rid of them, we can only start to restrain them now.

"Alright, you're so young, how can you still lie there? Get up and go find them!"

As Kino spoke, he slapped Cilang on the shoulder, making him open his mouth and close his eyes. Cilang immediately bared his teeth and glared fiercely at Kino.

The consequences of using IXA are not just the excessive pain of wearing the armor; the backlash on the body is continuous. Even though Cilang has the strong physique of a werewolf, he feels extremely weak at this moment.

But he still forced himself to get up.

Because Kino casually remarked with a puzzled look, "How come you, a werewolf, are better at lying down than I, a human?"

Thus, the wolf's strong will was immediately aroused.

Seeing him discharged from the hospital, Shima-go looked surprised: "You're able to move around now?"

The wolf gritted its teeth and grinned maliciously, "Of course, no problem. It's just a minor injury, it won't affect me at all!"

The island guard looked strange, then glanced at Kino, who stood calmly to the side.

The Supreme Blue Sky Society's hospital has their medical records, so he is naturally very clear about Kino and Tsuro's physical condition.

However, considering that Jiro's physical fitness test results were indeed better than Kino's, it doesn't seem too strange that he could get up immediately after using IXA.

"Remember to rest."

So the island's protector nodded and didn't interfere any further.

……

The fish-men and the Frankenstein's monsters run a private massage parlor under the overpass.

Because living in human society requires a lot of money, but they have no other skills, they can only make money through small means such as massage, shoe shining, shaved ice making, and sweet potato roasting, which do not require any qualifications.

Kino followed Jiro to get acquainted with the group and also enjoyed a shoe-shining massage from the weirdo.

However, as he pressed, the Frankenstein monsters behind him couldn't help but get closer and closer, revealing their sharp fangs.

Clearly, this place is not only where they make money, but also a base where they secretly hunt humans to avoid being discovered by the vampires.

"Second Wolf~"

Kino called out without turning his head.

Lying on the roof, enduring excruciating pain, Cilang finally clicked his tongue and said, "Stop, Li."

"Ok?"

The mad scientist whose human name is "Force" paused.

Bashar, a fish-man who was focused on polishing his shoes, looked up when he heard this and realized that Frankenstein's monster, Dega, actually wanted to eat the person in front of him. He also glanced at Kino, who was looking at Polaroid photos.

The second wolf said slowly, "He is not prey, but our future partner."

"Partners? Humans?"

Dega, who was massaging himself when his attack was discovered, looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Yes, to avenge ourselves against the Vampire Fang!"

The wolf opened its eyes, staring at the crescent moon that was gradually being obscured by dark clouds. Its pupils became sharp like a wild beast's, and it recalled the scene of its entire clan being wiped out before its eyes.

pat...

A single raindrop fell from the dark night sky, followed by a distant rumble of thunder, and then the drizzle slowly turned into a torrential downpour.

Kino, who was lying down enjoying a massage, suddenly sat up, frowning as she looked at the thing in her hand.

Bashar, who was shining his shoes, and Deja, who was giving him a massage, were both confused. However, the latter thought that he was going to rebel, so he was already waiting for the cooperation to fall through.

"Hey Wolf, what the hell did you film?!"

Kino gritted his teeth and cursed aloud.

Lang had just stepped into the makeshift model house to take shelter from the rain when he heard this and raised an eyebrow at him.

Kino angrily threw out a stack of Polaroid photos.

"The subject you're photographing is me, not the background! Do you know how expensive photographic paper is these days?!"
