Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

DGP Salon.

The game administrator had been pondering for several days, unsure of what game to schedule for the next round.

He originally intended to follow the normal procedure, where the tasks of the Desire Grand Prix needed to be relaxed to a certain extent, and the game administrators in charge of operations could also customize tasks for the Kamen Riders according to their own preferences.

But now—

Kiroly made a decision against his own preferences.

Because of someone's wish.

At this moment, the electronic screen in the rest area is playing a replay of two missions. One is an unknown rider who calls himself "Kamen Rider Gord" against the bull, and the other is "Kamen Rider Luca" who steals Tairi's powerful builder buckle and transforms into a fighter.

After observing for the past few days, and with the sacrifice of Punk Jack as a test, Kiroly has come to believe that the two are not the same person.

Logically speaking, the restrictions should have been lifted.

but……

After talking with Sakurai Keikawa, who was confused about whether to change his wish, Kiroli suddenly had a whim when picking out the other person's wish card and found a wish card signed "Kino" among a pile of wish cards.

Kiroly's pupils dilated in shock at just one glance!

This wish...

No, is he sick?

Although Kiroli has a personality that likes to customize games for Kamen Riders according to his own preferences, he doesn't really care much about other things in DGP, but...

No, he's sick!

— [The viewership of the Wish Contest dropped to 0.1% due to poor live signal].

……

Chapter 99 The Demon Knight

Strictly speaking, the power of the creator goddess cannot actually affect people in the future.

So even after Hidetoshi Ukiyo's wish to become a "world star" was fulfilled, the DGP operators still had no feelings towards him; the power to reshape the world only worked for the people of that world.

If we want this force to influence the future, we need a medium through which the "past" and the "future" intersect.

Since those people from the future like watching live streams.

Kino let them see a snowy screen!

This makes it very easy to boost viewership ratings.

Even if Kiroly is aloof, he still needs to give an explanation to the other DGP organizers for the most important flaw in the "meaning of the Desire Grand Prix for future people".

But now that Punk Jack has left, Kiroly has no choice but to suppress the matter himself unless he finds another staff member to help him.

As expected, financial statements are what defeat operations.

Hopefully, Kiroly can act quickly.

Kino sat at the elegant coffee table prepared by her agency, examining the new Instax camera in her hand, while Ukiyo Hidetoshi, who was taking photos not far away, finally finished his work and walked over.

After all, the "world star" buff still clung to Hidetoshi Ukiyo.

"It seems to have been very quiet lately."

Fu Shi Ying Shou let out a long sigh and collapsed.

Kino casually remarked, "They're probably preparing a powerful move."

Upon hearing this, Ukiyo Hidetoshi paused abruptly. After looking around, he couldn't help but look up at the clear blue sky.

After such a long hiatus since the Desire Grand Prix two thousand years ago, the big move that was finally made was for the mastermind behind DGP to directly launch a sneak attack. The current calm is more like a storm brewing.

“Don’t worry, Kiroli is generally a rule-abiding citizen. He’ll only act if the rules don’t work for him.” Kino pressed the shutter on the open space.

“But hasn’t Punk Jack already been sent out to try it out?” Hidetoshi Ukiyo said.

"People just never give up~"

The photographic paper popped out from the top of the tube after it was taken. Kino pulled out the paper and shook it in the sun, and a slightly blurry image quickly appeared on it.

As expected of new technology in 2022, its imaging speed is faster than that of 1986 and 2014.

Kino looked at it closely, then his expression froze, and the corner of his mouth dropped two pixels.

"What's wrong?" Ukiyo Hidetoshi asked upon seeing this.

"We've captured a picture of a female ghost in red."

"???"

As Ukiyo Hidetoshi was filled with questions, his Extreme Fox core ID suddenly fell off his body, and at the same time, Kino's core ID also fell to the ground without warning.

In order to put on the belt and enter combat mode more quickly, their core ID is usually directly loaded into the Desire Driver.

But now the core ID has been automatically dropped.

Could it be that the screws on the desire-driven mechanism are loose?

Just as Fukiyo Hidetoshi picked up his core ID, a figure flashed before his eyes, followed by a four-year-old girl being pinned to the ground not far away.

A Polaroid photo drifted gently to the ground.

The so-called "ghost in red" was just a little girl wearing a huge red hat; the blurry image in the photo resembled a red phantom.

Now, this weak, pitiful, and helpless ghost has been subdued by Kino's grappling technique, and two Desire Drivers have fallen from its body, which is obviously the reason why the Core ID automatically detached.

Their belts were moved without anyone noticing!

Kino grinned maliciously and summoned a destructive pistol, pressing it against the four-year-old girl's head: "I'll strike you right here—"

"Wait...wait a minute!!"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi was shocked and rushed over to grab Kino's hand holding the gun. The little girl who was being held down took the opportunity to break free and run away.

"Calm down! Even though she stole our belts, she's still just a child!" Ukiyo Hidetoshi said, puzzled.

"Snapped!"

Kino slapped him on the head with her backhand.

However, after knocking, Kino remembered that the Demon Disciple had only recently evolved the ability to anthropomorphize, and that this had never been mentioned before, so it was normal that Ukiyo Hidetoshi was unaware of it.

But since he'd already knocked, Kino, still not satisfied, gave him another tap on the forehead: "That was a demon in disguise!"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi, whose head was thrown back by the flick of the finger, was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at the little girl in the red hat. But at this moment, several soldiers and demons rushed out from all directions of the square.

The filming crew, who were cleaning up the set, were suddenly attacked by the monster, and the screams of the people quickly broke the silence.

Upon seeing this, Hidetoshi Ukiyo quickly picked up the Desire Driver and put it on his waist, while simultaneously fastening the Core ID with one hand and inserting the thruster with the other.

"Henshin (Transformation)!"

'ENTRY——'

Boost!

The Extreme Fox, clad in red armor, immediately charged out.

However, Kino did not transform. He glanced at the situation and, after seeing that the fox rushed over and rescued the person, he turned and rushed towards the little girl in the red hat.

Seeing him approach, the little girl quickly retreated, and then several soldiers and demons ran out from the side, blocking the little girl in the red hat behind them.

Beneath the huge red brim of her hat, the little girl's lips curled into a strange smile. The next moment, the Desire Driver in Kino's hand vanished.

Having anticipated this, Kino didn't care much. He took out a destructive pistol from his coat pocket and fired a shot at the soldier demon blocking the little girl's path, driving him away!

Although the soldiers and demons were not powerful, their sheer numbers could still cause trouble. Human beings, being mere mortals, were ultimately no match for so many monsters, and the little girl hiding in the back quickly turned and left.

She then went to the Extreme Fox area.

Before the little girl in the red hat could make any move, the core ID of the Extreme Fox fell to the ground again without warning, and Ukiyo Hidetoshi, who had suddenly deactivated his transformation, looked completely astonished.

The demonic thugs attacked again, and Ukiyo Hidetoshi instinctively raised his arm to defend himself. However, the disparity in strength between the two sides caused him to be knocked to the ground.

The evil follower then stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and punched him in the waist and abdomen. Fu Shi Ying Shou groaned in pain, his back bent.

The invincible Extreme Fox has been transformed into a weak and helpless creature.

"Bang! Bang!"

At that moment, two energy blasts struck the demon's back. After it was knocked down and staggered, Kino, who had rushed over, jumped up and kicked the demon away.

He then glanced at Ukiyo Hidetoshi: "So weak. Don't tell me you were taught by me when you go out. You can't do anything without a belt?"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi twitched the corner of his mouth and straightened up again: "That's not necessarily true."

The ordinary citizens in this area who could escape had already fled. Facing the demons who were surrounding them, the two men fearlessly assumed a fighting stance.

But the next moment, the two soldiers and demons took the Desire Driver from the little girl in the red hat and put it on. Then they took out a plant-shaped clasp and inserted it directly into the left side of the driver.

"Jyamato!"

A malevolent mist surged up the two demonic soldiers, and vine-like plants wove together to form a dark armor around their upper bodies.

—The Demon Knight!

Ukiyo Hidetoshi was incredulous at the sight.

How could that be?

……

Chapter 100 Kamen Rider Haku, but Kino!

"How could this be!"

In DGP's game administrator space.

Kiroli, who was watching the two through the screen, also looked incredulous: "Why can the Demon Disciple use the Desire Driver?"

How could he, as the game administrator, not know?!

During this time, Kiroly hesitated for a long time but ultimately gave up his favorite part of the game and instead arranged a round that would eliminate that guy as early as possible.

The fact that the other person wrote that kind of wish is basically a blatant act of defiance against the DGP management team. Moreover, judging from the "ratings" aspect, it's clear that the person also knows the truth about DGP.

He absolutely cannot let this kind of person stay!

The prelude to this round was actually just the contestants' "desire driver" being taken away, so that they could move on to the next round. However, Kiroli secretly arranged for more demons to attack the two of them.

Now, something unexpected has happened; he never planned for the "Demon Knight" segment at all!

Kiroly made the call without hesitation.

This time, the other end finally answered the phone.

Kiroli calmly preemptively asked, "Why can demonic followers use desire drives? What exactly do you want to do?"

A sinister, eerie laugh came from the other side.

[“I told you, the Demonic Disciples are a type of evolving creature. They learned how to use them on their own, and it seems some intelligent individuals have emerged.”]

Kiroly frowned: "I hope you can control the scope of your research."

"But if the demons become stronger, wouldn't the battles of those Kamen Riders be more meaningful?"

"Don't do anything unnecessary. I'm the game administrator, and I have the right to make these decisions!"

Kiroli snorted and turned off the communication.

He looked at the broadcast on the screen again.

Although it's impossible to stop the demons from evolving to the point of being able to use the "Desire Driver," now that Punk Jack has left the scene, the demons have become even more powerful, which is actually a good thing.

That guy had better leave right here!

……

……

The Demon Knight has appeared.

But its transformation didn't get a chance to start.

Because Kino grabbed Ukiyo Hidetoshi by the back of his collar and immediately turned and ran!
