Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

Shinnosuke Tomari shouted anxiously.

Just as the belt flew over, Kino suddenly reached out a hand and grabbed the driver's panel, tightening his fingers as if he were restraining Banno Tenjuro's head.

At the same time, the tendrils of light that passed through his chest turned into data and dissipated, and the boy's body flickered and stabilized like a virtual projection.

"you……"

Banno Tenjuro tried to struggle in horror.

Kino's lips curled into a smile as the GordDrive sparked as he applied force with his fingertips, then tossed it to the ground like trash.

But before Banno Tenjuro could even flee, he was stomped hard under the opponent's foot.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Kino leaned over with his elbows on his knees and chuckled, "After you're destroyed, will my consciousness disappear along with you, or are you just a clown?"

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from the boy, Banno Tenjuro trembled violently, the fear of death frantically eroding his reason.

"Stop! You can't do this!"

Banno Tenjuro begged for mercy while cursing, "You're a madman—let me go! Don't you want to live? If you cooperate with me, I can take you and us to rule this world!—I cannot be destroyed, my great mind was born to rule the world! Let me go!!"

……

Chapter 63 says, "We can go now!"

Kino looked down at him from his elevated position.

The fear of death drove Tenjuro Banno completely insane. He spoke incoherently, as if threatening and begging for mercy. The GordDrive, which was being trampled underfoot, tried to extend its tentacles of light to fight back, but each time it was formed, it would dissipate in a burst of lightning.

This sight made even the people not far away, including Tomari Shinnosuke, hesitate.

"Kino..."

Shinnosuke Tomari stepped forward and looked down slightly at the boy who seemed to be a model student.

Although Kurim insisted that this was Banya, the boy's aura and behavior were completely different from the Banya Tenjuro they had ever seen.

They were even fighting alongside the other side.

"Is the relationship between you and Banno really okay? If we just eliminate him like this..." Tomari Shinnosuke hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"This kind of thing—"

Kino was about to tell him to put his mind at ease when, as she looked up at Tomari Shinnosuke's face, her gaze swept over the Drive driver at his waist.

Then Kino's inner thoughts took a sharp turn!

With a resolute look in his eyes, he said, "Actually, I don't know what will happen either, so in this very last moment, I have one last wish that I want to fulfill before I die, and I'd like to ask you for it."

Tomari Shinnosuke was startled: "What?"

Kino said sincerely, "Shinnosuke, could you lend me your obi for just a moment?"

Tomari Shinnosuke: "..."

Kurim roared, "Don't even think about it—!!"

He's had enough of being used by Banno Tenjuro all his life. Even Kurim has PTSD. It's not the same as Kino, who is different from Banno!

Coming to his senses, Tomari Shinnosuke looked embarrassed. He glanced down at the belt, then at Kino, and tried to be tactful, saying, "If Mr. Belt doesn't want to, I don't have the right to decide on the belt..."

So Kino closed his eyes, sighed with regret, and said, "It's okay, I understand. After all, I'm the kind of person who..."

Tomari Shinnosuke instinctively clutched his conscience, frantically trying to speak but stopping himself: "No..."

"enough!"

It wasn't until Shijima couldn't bear it any longer and spoke up: "This guy used to forcibly take our belts, how come he's suddenly so easy to talk to now!"

Kino, feeling betrayed, gave him a resentful look: "You unfilial son!"

Shijima gritted his teeth: "Then why do you insist on getting into Nissan's Drive? You weren't persuaded by Banno, were you? After all, you two share the same will!"

The hunter on the other side had a slightly strange expression.

He recalled what Kino had said before, "If I just asked you guys, 'Can I borrow your belt to play with?' wouldn't that be less suspicious?" He inexplicably felt that this might be the truth, and that the other party might really just want to become Kamen Rider Drive for fun.

But the "suspicious" aspect cannot be shaken off.

Even if it's the truth, it's highly questionable!

No one believed that anyone would get the knight's belt just for fun, not even Tenjuro Banno, who was immediately thrilled to have survived.

"That's right! We were originally one, so let's rule the world together! We don't even need the Drive Driver; just put the 'Gord Drive' back on, and we can wipe out all these Kamen Riders! Hurry!!"

"........."

If this continues, it will only make things worse.

Hearing this statement, the three Kamen Riders couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Kino sighed and reached out his hand.

No one knew what his action meant. As Kino withdrew his arm, a familiar signal battle axe was assembled from the void like data.

The other two looked sharply at the hunter, who was also slightly taken aback and looked down at the signal chaster in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, an identical signal Chaser appeared in Kino's hand, which he casually inserted into the signal battle axe.

"A guaranteed kill!"

This act of retrieving something from thin air, especially since it involved an existing knight's power, left the three people present speechless. Both Shinnosuke Tomari and Takeshi Shijima involuntarily took a step back.

At that moment, Banno Tenjuro also inexplicably sensed that something was not quite right.

"Wait... wait, what is this...?"

He forced a trembling voice, suppressing the fear in his heart.

Kino activated the signal tomahawk.

"Matteroyo!"

A loud and enthusiastic sound effect rang out.

Kino looked at him with a kind smile: "Didn't I tell you? Well then, let's see, Banno, see if your great mind can really save you."

"Are you crazy?!"

Tenjuro Banno's mood plummeted from heaven to hell once again. The driver under his feet trembled violently, and he roared like a madman.

"I'm on your side! These Kamen Riders don't trust you at all. Even if you destroy me, what good will it do? You'll gain nothing. It's not worth sacrificing all this for them!!"

"Itteiyo!" 』

The signal light on the Tomahawk turned green.

Kino really liked the sound effect. He moved his left foot away from the GordDrive and raised the signal tomahawk in his hand with sparkling eyes.

It said, "You can go in now!"

"No...no! Stop! You madman, stop! Stop it now! No—!!"

Amidst Tenjuro Banno's hysterical screams, the silver-purple signal tomahawk streaked across the sky, leaving a dazzling trail of light, and slammed down on the GordDrive on the ground!

"boom!"

The sharp tomahawk sank into the concrete, and the gold and red GordDrive instantly shattered into pieces, abruptly ending Tenjuro Banno's screams.

The entire battlefield suddenly fell silent.

The data-like light effect emanating from the belt disappeared, and Kino's lips curled into a bright smile as a certain connection in his mind was completely severed and vanished.

Banno Tenjuro – Confirmed Destroyed!

A gentle breeze stirred up the smoke of battle, and the devastated battlefield slowly seemed to gain a chance to breathe.

The moment the GordDrive exploded, Shijima Tsuyoshi abruptly turned his head away. It wasn't until the flash of electricity from the explosion stung his eyes that he turned back to look at it in a daze.

My heart feels empty, as if I've lost something, but it also feels like I've let go of something and feel light all over.

Shijima Tsuyoshi's emotions were incredibly complex. He clenched his fist slightly, then involuntarily looked at the boy who gave him a similar feeling.

The boy who had just unleashed that attack stood motionless in place, and the others watched him with bated breath. Tomari opened his mouth but did not speak.

After a long while, Kino casually tossed aside the signal tomahawk, squatted down next to the mechanical fragments of the driver that hadn't burned out, and picked through them, occasionally picking up a piece of charred chip residue and crushing it completely with a "crunch".

"Bang bang..."

"Snap..."

"Click..."

The hearts of the three men seemed to skip a beat with each of his frequent clenching movements.

Hesitantly, Shinnosuke Tomari poked his head out and asked, "Um... Kino, are you... are you alright?"

Without turning his head, Kino said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. The only good thing that Banno did was probably separating my consciousness from his data."

Otherwise, if he had returned from this time travel, he probably would have had to go through the Signal Axe incident with Banno Tenjuro again.

Although it seems like they're doing the same thing now.

However, as the axe-wielder, Kino was quite enjoying the chopping, though he was a little annoyed that Banno Tenjuro had caused him so much trouble.

So he's currently whipping the corpse.

"sorry!"

At this moment, Tomari Shinnosuke squatted down beside him and said solemnly, "Kino, I apologize for doubting you earlier. You have been helping us from beginning to end. Thank you so much!"

Kino looked at him with some surprise: "Is there any compensation for emotional distress?"

Tomari Shinnosuke: "..."

"Nothing? How perfunctory~" Kino sighed.

"No...that's not what I meant. What do you want? I'll help you if I can!" Shinnosuke said quickly after regaining his senses.

“Belt…” Kino’s gaze shifted downwards.

"..."

Jinnosuke Tomari rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

However, Kino changed the subject: "If Mr. Belt really doesn't want to, I won't force him. I know Kurim has some psychological trauma, so..."

"Huh?" Shinnosuke Tomari was stunned.

“In that case, Kurim, you just need to stay by my side for a while. I won’t force you to do anything or restrict your freedom of movement. Is that all you ask?” Kino looked at Drive.

Shinnosuke Tomari did not make a decision for Kurim, but simply held the Drive driver in his hands and faced Kino.

Kulim's facial features softened: "I understand. I was also at fault in this matter. I can agree to your request, but let me make it clear beforehand that I will not do any more research for you!"

Kino simply smiled and said, "Deal!"

……

Chapter 64 What bad intentions could Dad possibly have?

Kino returned to that abandoned gymnasium.

This place was already dilapidated, and it was further damaged in the battle between the Kamen Riders and Gold Drive.

It's still manageable, though.

Kino tidied up the laboratory briefly, removed the bricks from under the rubble, and took out an electronic tablet.

He started operating the tablet, and soon a figure composed of data appeared on the screen, which then opened its eyes like a virtual character.

"Savage Lord!"

Blood's joyful voice came from inside.

Kino smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Blood. I will go find Medic to revive you."

Blood looked at him through the screen: "It is my honor to receive Lord Manye's affirmation. I'm so glad you're alright. Blood has been worried about you!"

"Well, whatever you want, but please don't call me 'Barbara' anymore," Kino suddenly said.

"Savage...sir...?"
