Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi glanced around the corner and saw demons searching for them not far away. This was not a place to linger.

He slowly said, "Someone once said that when disaster strikes, Kamen Rider only thinks 'I have to do it,' not 'Can I do it?' This belief is the courage that drives Kamen Rider to overcome everything!"

"Wait a minute, does that guy really seem like the type to say something like that?"

As if some mechanism had been triggered, Master Azuma finally came to his senses and complained.

His complaint was still about the fact that Sakurai Keikawa had exposed (although this fact has not been confirmed by Ukiyo Hidetoshi himself).

Hidetoshi Ukiyo chuckled and continued, "The final boss of each Desire Grand Prix is ​​a powerful demon capable of destroying the world. No one can win indefinitely. Even I can't save the world every time. Only when Kamen Riders cooperate and fight together can they have a chance."

Master Azuma looked at Ukiyo Hidetoshi with a complicated gaze. His eyes, which had been somewhat hazy, regained their usual sharpness, carrying a dark scrutiny.

What are you going to do?

"Let's get our drives back together first!" Hidetoshi Ukiyo said seriously.

"..."

The Taoist priest, Wuzhi, remained silent with a strange expression. Instead, he took a few steps and pointed to the sky behind him.

A holographic projection of DGP floated in mid-air in that direction, but because the two were currently hiding behind a wall, Ukiyo Hidetoshi needed to walk a few steps out before he could see the full view of the projection.

He was somewhat puzzled by Azuma Daoist's actions. He looked up and saw a pentagonal projection rotating 360 degrees.

There are a total of five desire drivers.

After the holographic projection passed the symbols of the two demons, the third driver displayed the Kamen Rider Tairi's Rider Crest, which meant that the three people over there might have successfully obtained the Desire Driver.

As expected, the fourth one is Kamen Rider Nami.

And then—

Kamen Rider Bull!

Hidetoshi Ukiyo: "...Huh?"

The last knight emblem does indeed have two horn shapes, but it's not the red stag beetle emblem; instead, it's the purple Kamen Rider Bull emblem.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi paused for a moment, looking at the expressionless Azuma Michinaga before him, and then at the knight's crest.

In the blink of an eye—

The truth came to mind.

Although Kamen Rider Bull has been cleared by DGP, if Azuma Michinaga really obtained the Desire Driver, he wouldn't have fought with his physical body when he was surrounded by the demons.

Unless he has absolutely no desire drive!

It might not even have a core ID...

Ukiyo Hidetoshi, without batting an eye, asked knowingly, "Hagane, have you already obtained the belt?"

Master Azuma said coolly, "No, and my Kamen Rider ID has also disappeared from my body. The core ID of a Kamen Rider should only be usable by the person who created it. Kyoko, what do you think happened?"

Yes, what happened?

It's so hard to guess!

Just as the two were locked in an awkward stalemate, the holographic projection that was rotating in mid-air suddenly changed again. The projection of the fifth Desire Driver flashed a red light, and then the Bull Crest was replaced by a red Knight Crest.

The pass slot I just got out of nowhere is gone in the blink of an eye.

Master Wuzhi sneered repeatedly: "Just as I expected!"

His core ID was still on his person when he was in DGP Plaza, but it disappeared when he came out. Before that, only one person had approached him!

Later, Kamen Rider Bull showed that he had obtained the Desire Driver, which means that someone had connected his Core ID to the driver, which is why it was detected by DGP.

The fact that the knight's emblem appeared on the front one day and then on the back the next confirms who the mastermind is.

Although Master Azuma doesn't usually overthink things, she is still very sensitive to anything unusual happening around her.

He glared fiercely at Ukiyo Hidetoshi.

"As expected, neither you nor your son are trustworthy! You took my core ID and eliminated me, Jihu, this was all your scheme!"

"..."

Hidetoshi Ukiyo rubbed his forehead: "This is really difficult, but don't worry, I haven't gotten the Drivers yet either. The two Desire Drivers are still with the Demon Disciple."

My wife, the Taoist priest, paused upon hearing this.

Oh right, they were both abandoned...

……

Chapter 102 The False Hero

Not only were they abandoned, but the two of them were also discovered by the demons not far away after they walked out from the wall in order to see the holographic projection in mid-air.

Thus began a new round of escapes.

There were simply too many demonic followers to handle, so the two of them turned tail and ran without hesitation!

Ukiyo Hidetoshi glanced at the Taoist priest Azuma beside him and said with a smile, "What I just said is true. Hakuniu, let's cooperate for now until we defeat the evil demons."

Master Azuma asked with a stern face, "Even the Extreme Fox has times when it needs help?"

"I don't want to have more and more enemies..."

Before Ukiyo Eiju could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression changed, and he looked startled.

Ahead of them, two demon knights wearing Desire Drivers slowly emerged.

This was the first time they had ever seen a demon transformed into a knight, and they were unsure of the demon's combat abilities. Both of them remained cautious and did not make any rash moves.

“The three drives are already occupied. We can only get the remaining two drives back from the demons. Only then will we have a chance to clear the game,” said Hidetoshi Ukiyo calmly.

"Who doesn't know this kind of thing...!"

Master Wuzhi gritted his teeth and scoffed. He glanced at the dozen or so demon soldiers surrounding him from behind, and then at the two fully equipped demon knights blocking his path.

The current situation is that not only can you pass the level by retrieving the belt, but you can also survive!

……

Not far away at this moment.

After retrieving the belt and dealing with the evil thugs on the back mountain, the two immediately followed Kino to the next location, even though they had no idea what they were going to do.

However, upon seeing Ukiyo Hidetoshi and Azuma Michinaga being chased by demons not far away, they understood.

"Speaking of which..."

Kino stood behind the corner, watching the two people who were fighting the flesh-bodied grass monster.

He smiled slightly and said, "If we just let it go like this, after we eliminate the Hide-and-Seek Demons, those two can be eliminated, which will reduce the number of competitors in the final battle."

Kurama Nene, who was anxiously observing the situation, was incredulous upon hearing this: "Huh? What are you talking about?"

Kino turned to look at her: "So, do you want to take this opportunity to eliminate Jihu and Ba Niu?"

"But Eiju is your...family, right?" Kurama Nene was a little confused.

"So what? Anyway, that kid is waiting for something and refuses to get stronger. In that case, it's better to eliminate him sooner rather than later. Family is just something to be controlled, isn't it?"

Kino revealed a smug, villainous smile.

Is this something a family member would say?

After staring at him in disbelief for a moment, Kurama Nene quickly shook her head, realizing what he meant: "No! Let's go help them right away. Even if we have to compete later, we need to survive first!"

Hearing her say that, Kino raised an eyebrow slightly, then smiled and patted her shoulder with a look of satisfaction.

"Hmm, as expected of the Kamen Rider Nami I acknowledge, but you can't handle so many demons by yourself. Why don't you hand over your Core ID to me so I can help you!"

"...???"

Having witnessed him transform into "Kamen Rider Bull," Kurama Nene dared not listen to these words.

And even if he refuses to go out and help, there's still Kamen Rider Taichi who can fight alongside him!

Sakurai Kagekazu followed behind the two. He didn't say much. After getting the Desire Driver from the back mountain and leaving, he remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Hearing the somewhat absurd conversation ahead, Sakurai Keikazu looked up at Kino's back. He seemed to reach out and touch the pocket of his windbreaker, then looked away hesitantly.

"Jinghe!"

Kurama Nene's voice suddenly rang out.

Sakurai Keikazu seemed startled, instinctively reaching his hand out of his pocket and awkwardly asking, "What's wrong?"

Kurama Nene looked annoyed at being teased, then turned to him and said seriously, "Let's go help Eiju and the Taoist priest. No matter what the final outcome is, at least we can help each other now!"

“Okay!” Sakurai Keikazu agreed without hesitation.

The two hit it off immediately, each took out their own knight's belt buckle, inserted it, and charged forward.

'Ninja!'

"Beat!"

Just as the two demon knights were about to launch an attack, Tai Li and Na Mao each struck them back with a single blow, and then stood in front of them with imposing presence.

The sudden appearance of the two Kamen Riders surprised Michinaga Azuma, but Hidetoshi Ukiyo only paused for a moment before laughing, as if it were expected.

He looked left and right but couldn't find Kino anywhere nearby.

……

"They're Kamen Riders too, aren't they?"

Kino smiled as he watched the battle unfold.

He remained leaning against the corner, looking up at the holographic projection spinning in mid-air, and then surveying the spot where enemies could easily ambush him from the corner.

"It's weird..."

Kiroli has not made a move against him at all.

Furthermore, since it's a musical chairs game, the number of chairs could actually be set to four or even three from the beginning. This way, the remaining Kamen Riders would have to compete, and it would also ensure that someone would be eliminated.

Unless Kiroly is worried that he might take the opportunity to eliminate all the Kamen Riders...

No need!

In this situation, in order to have enough strength to deal with the final boss of the Desire Grand Prix, Kino's side will not eliminate the Kamen Riders, which means that all of them can advance.

So what's the point of musical chairs?

Kiroly is a big fan of hero games, so as the game administrator, he would deliberately set up many turn-based missions where "saving citizens" is the only way to see Kamen Riders protect the citizens and become heroes.

In hero games, the worst thing is a "fake hero".

When the Kamen Riders discover that the world-destroying demons were all released by DGP itself, that the so-called saving of the world was just a staged show, and that the so-called "Grand Prix of Desire" was nothing but a fake game—

So the first to be emotionally affected are not the Kamen Riders, but Kiroli himself; he might feel out of character.

A hero must never know that he is a fraud!

If you knew that, you'd be out of character.

Therefore, Kiroli cannot accept any contestant touching on the truth of DGP, or even destroying this "hero game".

Therefore, in the second round, the opponent skipped the maze game where "Fanatic Buckle" would appear to protect the citizens, which Kino remembered, and went straight into musical chairs. It was obvious that they wanted to eliminate him, the "hero" who had gone out of character, as soon as possible.

But now that everyone has almost finished the game, Kino has specially separated from the four Kamen Riders for the time being.

Kiroli did not take any action.

The other party's henchman, Punk Jack, had already been kicked out. What other means could Kiroly rely on besides dealing with him himself?

It couldn't possibly be those few evil followers, could it?

Although the Demon Rider can transform, it essentially becomes an elite monster and has no chance of defeating several Kamen Riders.

Kino thought about it carefully.

Is it...

Kiroli felt that he still had the Desire Driver and could transform into Kamen Rider, so he didn't dare to make a move?

Sigh! What a cautious baby!

Kino realized the truth and, seeing Azuma Michinaga frowning under the protection of two Kamen Riders not far away, immediately took out the Desire Driver and the Overlord Core ID and threw them over.
