Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

The blood analysis program continued loading.

It seems so?

……

Although Shijima Go was surrounded by mechanical mutants, he only told Tomari Shinnosuke about his plan to seek cooperation with Heart and the other two because he was too averse to them.

Kulim did not object to this.

He only disliked and was wary of Banno Tenjuro; he didn't have such a strong prejudice against other mechanical mutants, and it wouldn't be a bad thing if they could cooperate against the enemy.

But after the two of them set off, Shijima leaned against a corner with his arms crossed, watching with a cold smile as the two of them abandoned him and went off with him again.

"I knew it!"

……

Meanwhile, the three Kamen Riders on this side began their respective actions.

On the other side at this moment.

Shijima Kiriko drove the white-haired girl around the city, saying she was taking her to relax and try to find her memories.

Since being brought back by Shijima, the girl has been suffering from amnesia. After the hospital examination showed no problems, she was taken back to the Special Cases Department for temporary observation.

"The weather is so nice today. Looking around here will surely lift my spirits!"

Shijima Kiriko parked her car on a coastal road.

Upon hearing this, Blood turned to her and gave her a sweet smile. Her long, white twin tails shone brightly in the sunlight, making Shijima Kiriko slightly dazed.

This girl really looks like she stepped out of an anime. She's wearing a light gray school uniform, and every move she makes exudes a signature demure charm.

Shijima Kiriko didn't quite understand otaku, but Nishijo Kyuu from their Special Class let out a freakishly sharp scream the moment he first saw the girl. If Shijima hadn't punched him, that guy might have stuck to the girl's side and been panting all the time.

So, the main reason Shijima Kiriko brought the girl out to relax was that if the girl stayed in the Special Cases Department, Saijo Kyu wouldn't be able to work properly.

Now, looking at this young girl, besides being amazed, she also felt a strange sense of incongruity.

The other person doesn't seem real.

"What's wrong?" Blood tilted his head slightly.

"No...it's nothing! By the way, Shiro, is there anywhere you particularly want to go?" Shijima Kiriko quickly asked.

Upon hearing this, Blood's gaze shifted slightly. She turned her head, a barely perceptible glint of data flashing in her pupils. The information in her mind allowed her to pinpoint a location.

"Yes, there are..."

Blood murmured.

Since acquiring the emotion named "Longing," the mechanical mutant's evolutionary instincts have made her desperately want to possess more of this emotion.

But during this time, even when these humans took her to so-called comic conventions, she couldn't feel anything that could give her emotions.

Blood felt a strong urge within him.

I want to see—

……

……

"Savage!"

"Finally found you, buddy!"

As the hunters and Shinnosuke found Heart, Tenjuro Banno also arrived in pursuit once again.

Thus, what appeared to be two groups (Kamen Riders and mechanical mutants) actually became three groups that unexpectedly met on a narrow path.

For the past two days, Heart has been fleeing from the pursuit of Banno Tenjuro, but the opponent has a way to lock onto mechanical mutants, so Heart has been forced to change positions again with almost no rest.

Brain and Medic weren't with him because Heart, who was injured, had separated from the other two after being confronted by Tenjuro Banno for the first time.

After all, he was injured and was a key combatant. The Golden Drive, which wanted to capture the three super-evolved beings, would definitely focus on him first. This way, Brian and Medic on the other side only needed to deal with the other mechanical mutants chasing them.

He never expected that Kamen Rider would come knocking on his door. However, before they could exchange more than a few words, Gold Drive caught up with them.

Heart glanced at Gold Drive on one side, then at the three Kamen Riders on the other, and inexplicably felt as if he were wanted by both sides.

Fortunately, neither side was paying attention to him at that moment.

"Gang, you've been following us again!"

Shinnosuke Tomari sighed somewhat helplessly.

Golden Drive jumped out, and Shijima Tsuyoshi, who was following behind the two, also jumped out. The Hunter seemed to have expected this.

Shijima Tsuyoshi retorted confidently, "Who told you not to tell me about your plans now!"

The hunter explained earnestly, "Gang, it's because you don't like mechanical mutants, and the fact that we're going to cooperate with Heart might offend you, so we didn't tell you."

"What kind of reason is that!"

"..."

If this can't be considered a legitimate reason, then the hunters are truly out of options.

Shijima Tsuyoshi didn't dwell on the matter any longer. He raised his hand, took out the Mach Driver, and stared resolutely at the golden Drive opposite him.

"Barbarians, I've come to defeat you. This is... my mission as your son!"

"The son's mission?"

Drive looked at him with some impatience: "Ha, you think you can take me on?"

Shijima gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, it was me! Because you betrayed us—betrayed me and my sister, and the love between family members!"

Upon hearing this, Banno Tenjuro paused for a moment before laughing dismissively, as if he had heard something incomprehensible and utterly absurd.

"Love between family members?"

Banno Tenjuro chuckled and said, "What kind of thing is that? To me, family is just something to be controlled. The love you're talking about doesn't exist at all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shijima was slightly taken aback, and Kurim, who was standing next to him, became even more furious, feeling the same way.

"Manno, don't go too far! There is such a precious bond between family members. Have you been deceiving Miss Sumiko all along?" Kurim said excitedly.

"Isn't it ridiculous for you to talk about 'love' at a time like this?"

Golden Drive scoffed dismissively, "Whether they are so-called family or mechanical mutants, to me they are nothing more than tools to dominate the world!"

Shijima seemed to snap out of his daze and asked blankly, "What... then what am I? What have I always been to you?"

Even after finding Tenjuro Banno's electronic tablet, that person still spoke to him kindly and gently, expressing genuine remorse and even showing concern for him and the things that might happen to them.

Was it all a facade all along?

Banno Tenjuro couldn't help but burst into mocking laughter: "Do you even need to ask? You've been nothing but research material from beginning to end. You're much more useful than your sister, at least exceeding my expectations."

Moreover, it was precisely because he deceived and exploited Shijima Tsuyoshi's feelings that Banno Tenjuro was able to obtain the most crucial part of the entire plan—the data for the Drive Driver!

"Are you kidding me?!"

Shijima roared and charged forward, his body transforming into a white Mach as he ran, swinging his fist with the utmost fury at the golden Drive!

"Oh!"

As a result, Golden Drive dodged and slapped away his fist. Mach, who was too strong, fell to the ground. However, he rolled over and quickly got up, using the front-mounted rifle in his hand as a weapon to attack wildly.

Seeing that Shijima Tsuyoshi had lost his composure again due to the stimulation, Tomari Shinnosuke also quickly completed his transformation.

Drive!

"Type! Tridoron!"

'Signal Bike!'

Rider!

"Chaser!"

After Chaser, who had just traded his Signal Motorcycle with Shijima, became Kamen Rider Chaser, he saw that Shinnosuke Tomari had already stepped forward to help, so he was the first to come to Heart's side.

“Heart, since our enemies are all Banno Tenjuro right now, why don’t we work together to deal with Banno first!” Hunter said quickly.

"You came to me because of this?" Heart said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The hunter nodded solemnly.

However, Heart flatly refused: "No! I will never cooperate with humans. Whatever the savages' conspiracy may be, I will only follow my own beliefs!"

“But the savage is the root of all evil. Why can’t we put aside our fighting and join forces to defeat him?” the hunter asked anxiously.

"Because someone once made me secretly resolve to surpass everything humanity has to do with my own strength, and then end everything humanity has to do with!"

Heart looked at him with piercing eyes: "So whether it's the savages or you, I will defeat you!"

After saying this, Heart, supporting his injured body, turned around and prepared to leave.

Only at this time.

A loud shout came from the other end: "That's why I said these mechanical mutants are not trustworthy at all. Don't waste time with him, Chase, come and help!"

Heart paused and turned to look.

As a mechanical mutant created by Tenjuro Banno, Heart was actually able to empathize with the emotions that Shijima had just expressed.

That guy, despite being human, has no human emotions, no human love, and certainly no human heart.

The most untrustworthy thing in this world—

It's Banno Tenjuro!

How could they compare him to that kind of person?!

……

Chapter 59: A World Where Only Poetry Island Has Just Been Wounded

The Golden Drive is not so easy to deal with.

The three Kamen Riders failed to defeat Gold Drive last time, and even though the Chaser has retrieved its signal, the three Kamen Riders are still unable to shake Gold Drive's power.

This is also why the Hunter wanted to fight alongside Heart. With the power of the Kamen Rider combined with the power of the super evolution of the mechanical mutant, even if the Gold Drive is powerful, it would be difficult to fight against four opponents.

However, while Shijima Tsuyoshi might be secretly unwilling to fight alongside mechanical mutants, Heart genuinely and openly expresses his unwillingness to cooperate with humans.

Human emotions are so complex.

After being repelled by the Golden Drive's palm strike, the Hunter sighed helplessly.

Looking around, both Kamen Rider Drive Zettern form and Gear Up Mach were defeated one after another by the opponent's attacks.

Golden Drive stood in the encirclement, laughing arrogantly: "Since you've all come here to die this time, let's just wipe you all out in one go! No one can stop me from dominating this world!"

He spread his arms and gathered golden energy, which overflowed and was violently pushed by the Golden Drive towards the three Kamen Riders who were lying on the opposite side!

But at that very moment, another scorching energy blast fell, colliding violently with the golden energy wave in mid-air, and the shockwave from the violent explosion instantly swept across the surroundings!

The three of them raised their hands to block the shockwave, and Tomari Shinnosuke looked over, slightly surprised.

"Heart?!"

The mechanical mutant with the body of a monster stood in front of everyone, waving its hand to dispel the damage from the explosion, and then turned its head to look at them.

“I do not want to cooperate with you humans, but I have even less faith in savages.”

Once these Kamen Riders are eliminated, the next thing Banno Tenjuro will have to deal with are these mechanical mutants. Even if they promise to help them fulfill the agreed number and trigger a global freeze, Heart does not believe that Banno Tenjuro's purpose is for the future of the mechanical mutants.

As that guy himself said—his goal was simply to dominate the world!

The Hunter nodded firmly: "Heart, that's enough, thank you!"

The heart-mechanical mutant didn't say much. After the three of them were ready to fight again, they exchanged glances and tacitly surrounded the Golden Drive from all sides.

Drive glanced around at the people around him and sneered, "Heart, you really made a stupid decision. It seems I was too lenient with you before."

If it weren't for the fact that these super-evolved mechanical mutants were still useful, Banno Tenjuro could have eliminated Heart directly when they were chasing him!

But when he said that, it was as if he had deliberately touched on Heart's memories of the past fifteen years, and the latter immediately let out a low growl and charged forward.

Shinnosuke Tomari watched his movements closely and launched an attack from the other side at the same time, while Chaser and Mach on the opposite side quickly pulled the trigger!

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
