Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

After all, if something goes wrong along the way and he not only fails to transfer to the mechanical body but also leaves the belt, then he will truly be a wandering ghost... and can go directly to the next world to play with Ghost.

Kino quickly got used to the mechanical body, and then recalled his appearance in his mind. His silver mechanical appearance changed in a ripple of water.

The next moment, a young man in a school uniform shirt appeared in front of Heart.

Kino looked down at himself, then looked at his reflection in the screen on the table, and then gave Heart a thumbs-up with a satisfied smile.

"See! This is my true self. I told you I'm not Banno Tenjuro!"

Heart snapped out of her daze and gritted her teeth, letting out a low growl: "Savage!"

"what?"

Kino paused for a moment, then leaned forward, pointing to his face and saying very seriously, "Look at my youthful collagen at eighteen years old, I don't look like that old man with the perm at all!"

“Wild!” Heart looked at him intently.

"Stubborn!"

Kino slapped Heart on the head, ignored him, turned and walked towards the "Gord Drive" driver, bending down to tap the belt screen.

"Hey~ Moshi Moshi?"

The screen on the belt was completely dark, lifeless and devoid of any consciousness.

Kino raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this.

If Banno Tenjuro really left the electronic tablet with him back then, then now that he has voluntarily moved out, Banno probably won't let go of the opportunity to control "Gord Drive".

After all, the power of the Golden Drive is indeed very strong, while the mechanical body is actually weaker.

Because once the device is transferred out, he can no longer freely put the "Gord Drive" on other people and use it to control them.

After all, in the original series, Banno Tenjuro once used this method to forcibly control Medic.

But even now, there's still no sign of Tenjuro Banno. Could it be that he's really dead inside the tablet?

Or has that guy already discovered that he hid a self-destruct program in the "Gord Drive" before the move, so he doesn't dare to make any rash moves now?

Kino couldn't figure out the reason for the time being, but he was happy to put the "Gord Drive" back on his waist.

Once the transformation is activated, an indiscriminately powerful force surrounds the body.

Heart looked at him strangely: "Transfer yourself into the body of a mechanical mutant and then use the belt? Why would you do that?"

"Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs!" Kino waved his hand dismissively.

—Of course, the purpose of doing this is to get more Kamen Rider belts and then transform into each Kamen Rider to have some fun!

And this world is only missing Kamen Rider Chaser to be included.

Kino then went to the experimental table and saw that Medic's condition had stabilized and the virus program implantation had gone smoothly. All that was left was for Medic to gather his strength and wake up on his own.

It seems like we'll have to wait a while longer.

But now Kino wants to get some belts.

"Come and let me know when Medic wakes up, I have to go out now!" Kino said impatiently.

"What are you planning to do now?"

"I'll go and bring you back a children's book called '100,000 Whys'."

"........."

……

Chapter 32: You can even get a car for free

Finding Shinnosuke Tomari is easy, because you can just wait near the Metropolitan Police Department and you'll encounter a passing Kamen Rider.

However, Shijima is a lone wolf, and that guy always acts on his own, so it's not so easy to find his whereabouts for a while.

Kino stood behind a tree across from the Metropolitan Police Department plaza, observing the people coming and going. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he saw a young man in a dark purple leather suit emerge.

That's the Chaser, the wearer of the prototype Kamen Rider Drive, and also the current Kamen Rider Chaser!

If you can't find Go Shijima for the time being, you can add Kamen Rider Chaser first.

Kino was about to follow, but after leaving the Metropolitan Police Department's pursuit area and coming to the roadside, he simply got on his Chaser motorcycle and sped away.

Kino: "..." Orz.

Kino, disheveled in the wind, suddenly felt dejected and bent forward.

The campaign was unsuccessful from the start due to the lack of a knightly machine!

This is impossible to track!

Just as Kino was on the verge of tears, a friendly voice suddenly came from behind him: "Um... is there anything I can help you with?"

Kino turned around and saw Tomari Shinnosuke looking at him with a puzzled expression.

He glanced at Shinnosuke's waist and didn't see the Drive driver, nor was the gear shifter that usually hung on his waist.

It's likely that those self-aware belts and weapons would act autonomously during their downtime.

"I've come to see Shijima Tsuyoshi."

So Kino honestly revealed his purpose.

"Just?"

Tomari Shinnosuke asked with some surprise, "Why are you here looking for him? Are you his friend?"

Kino nodded: "I guess so."

Seeing that he was speaking somewhat vaguely, Tomari Shinnosuke raised an eyebrow slightly, looked around, and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't here right now."

"I know."

Kino nodded again: "Because that guy has no fixed abode and wanders around everywhere, but I only know that I can occasionally find him in this place."

Tomari Shinnosuke: "..."

Using the phrase "homeless and wandering around" to describe Shijima Tsuyoshi is actually quite accurate.

He suddenly found the person in front of him to be quite interesting.

Moreover, the familiar tone suggested that he wasn't there to cause trouble for Shijima Takeshi; he actually seemed like a friend.

After thinking it over, Tomari Shinnosuke said, "In that case, why don't you go to the Metropolitan Police Department and wait there? If we get in touch with Tsuyoshi, we'll have him come over here."

Kino glanced at his posture and, recalling his hasty departure during the hunt, asked, "Are you going out now?"

"Yes, I have a job—"

"Then I'll go with you."

"..."

Before Shinnosuke could finish speaking, Kino interrupted him. He paused for a moment, about to refuse, when Kino interrupted him again.

“If what you’re doing involves mechanical mutants, then Shijima Tsuyoshi should be nearby, so instead of making me wait here, you might as well take me directly to that guy,” Kino said matter-of-factly.

"Wait, how do you know these things?" Shinnosuke Tomari's expression turned serious.

“I also know that he is Mach.”

"...What did I just tell you?"

"I guess so."

"..."

Tomari Shinnosuke took a deep breath, rubbed his forehead in exasperation, and had no idea how much more Shijima Tsuyoshi had revealed.

Kino looked at him suspiciously: "What does it matter? It's already been broadcast nationwide that you're Kamen Rider Drive, so why would you need to pretend to hide your identity?"

Tomari Shinnosuke: "..." That makes sense.

Kino: "Do you guys have some kind of 'if humans find out you can transform, you have to leave Earth' setting?"

Shinnosuke Tomari: "There is no such thing!"

……

And so, inexplicably, Shinnosuke Tomari brought Kino to the parking lot of the Cetron Motors.

I decided to bring the other person along to the event.

"Well, although he does come to help quite often, he's not always there," said Shinnosuke Tomari, scratching his head.

"It's ok."

Kino wasn't that picky; he figured the hunter would definitely be there anyway.

If he hadn't been unable to catch the hunter just now...

As he said this, Kino eagerly opened the passenger door himself, and once he sat down, he was caught off guard and his eyes met a red belt on the car's center console.

It turns out that Drive was already waiting in the car to set off.

At that moment, Shinnosuke Tomari got in through the driver's door on the other side. Kurim, who was still a little confused, immediately looked at him, then hesitated and looked at Kino.

"Shinnosuke, who is this...?"

“He came to the Special Cases Division looking for Tsuyoshi, but I don’t know where he is right now,” Shinnosuke Tomari explained.

"So you're Gang's friend?"

Kurim then turned his gaze to Kino.

Kino blinked: "Hello, you must be Mr. Belt. You can call me Kino."

"Um……"

Kurim responded hesitantly, but did not greet him for a long time. His eyes, which resembled data lines, stared at Kino for a while.

Shinnosuke Tomari thought he seemed a little strange.

"what happened?"

"No... I feel like I've seen him before."

Kulim's voice was hesitant.

Hearing this, Tomari Shinnosuke was slightly surprised.

This makes it even more believable that the boy and Shijima are friends. If Kulim really did meet, maybe they met in the United States.

Shinnosuke Tomari had already started the Setron and driven off. He didn't notice that Kino's expression was strange after hearing those words, and he silently turned his head away.

The atmosphere inside the car fell into an inexplicable silence.

Suddenly, Kurim, who had been staring intently at Kino, widened his slender eyes and then let out a sharp, explosive roar!

"Barbaric——!!!"

呲——

Startled by the loud noise, Shinnosuke Tomari swerved the steering wheel, and Setron drifted across the road, leaving a charred tire mark. He managed to brake in time to avoid crashing into the nearby flowerbed.

Kulim was so excited that his entire belt was shaking violently; if it weren't for the fact that it couldn't move on its own, it probably would have taken off right there.

"You savage! You're a savage, aren't you!"

"..."

Kino rubbed his ears with a helpless expression.

After noticing that Kurim's mood was off, he felt that the "meeting" mentioned by the other party was definitely not a good thing.

After parking the car, Shinnosuke looked at the young man next to him, who was wearing a school uniform-style shirt, with straight black hair and a well-behaved and honest face. He couldn't reconcile this with the evil Tenjuro Banno that Kurim and Heart had mentioned.

But since Kurim had become so agitated, he couldn't help but take it seriously.

"Mr. Belt, really?" Shinnosuke Tomari asked incredulously.

"Yes! I can't be wrong!"

Kureem's tone was firm, but he grew anxious: "Shinnosuke, put on the driver quickly, be careful!"

Shinnosuke held the thing in his hand, which had almost shaken him off the center console. He wasn't wearing a belt while sitting in the car, and just looked at Kino with a puzzled expression.

"you……"
