Is this okay?

Matou Kariya nodded, understanding where Leng Mo and Senior Xiao Yuan's bottom line lay. Now it was time to see what he would do.

……

In front of the gate of the Matou Villa.

Matou Kariya stood before the familiar yet unfamiliar villa, his heart filled with endless memories. This was where he grew up, and perhaps nothing seemed wrong with it, but Matou Zouken was no good person.

If I had more magical talent, I probably would have become the old bug's target.

But if I possessed the talent of magic, wouldn't all the tragedies of the future be averted?

He thought this way, while also being very clear about the old bug's attitude: make the most of everything... people without value are unnecessary in his eyes.

He's gone mad in his struggle to survive.

Zouken Matou... No! Machiri Zorgen!

"You old bug!! Are you still going to hide now!?"

He shouted towards the villa, as if he were shouting out all his resentment and misery.

The sound was so loud that it stirred the surrounding wind, causing a slight breeze to ripple his short hair.

He knew that the old bug was already there when he arrived, and that it was observing him. Now that he was here, it was time for the old bug to make its appearance.

crunch...

The villa gate slowly opened, but it opened automatically without anyone pushing it.

Through the door, the slender Matou Zouken appeared in the shadows of the dark house, gazing at Matou Kariya with a confident smile.

"What are you doing back here, you good-for-nothing? You don't think I'll have anything nice to say to you, do you?"

Zouken Matou looked at Kariya Matou with a cold smile, his expression filled with disdain.

As they spoke, a rustling sound came from inside the villa—the sound of insects moving about. The sheer number of them was enough to send chills down your spine.

Is this a sign that they're about to take action?

Matou Kariya realized this and thought with a grim face, but even so, he would not stop.

He wanted to solve all of this himself.

“Old bug… no! Machiri Zolgen! It’s time to end this!”

"What?! Where did you get this name from?!" Zouken Matou's eyes widened in disbelief at the name. He couldn't believe his ears that he was hearing this name from a good-for-nothing who had left his family.

However, Matou Kariya did not answer him. Instead, he took out a belt that looked like a motorcycle handlebar and slapped it hard on his stomach.

Then the belt made a peculiar sound.

'SETUP!'

"Old bug! Just watch! Watch how this piece of trash in your eyes ends all of this! Watch my transformation!"

Matou Kariya's eyes narrowed as he stared at Matou Zouken, gritting his teeth as he spoke, his hand simultaneously resting on the handle of his belt.

With a cry from his very soul, he moved the handle.

"A——m@——zon——!"

boom--!

The massive explosion was accompanied by a terrifying shockwave that spread outwards, igniting the surrounding greenery. The deafening sound of the explosion echoed throughout the sky.

After the horrific explosion, Zouken Matou looked ahead with a shocked and incredulous expression.

This was a scene he had never seen before!

It was a scene he could never have imagined.

Red armor with a metallic sheen covered Matou Kariya's body, her hands had turned into black claws, and her arms were covered with sharp barbs. The crimson armor on her body had green cracks that shimmered with a dark green light.

"What's this!?"

Zouken Matou, sitting opposite him, stared wide-eyed and loudly questioned him, never expecting that the seemingly useless Kariya would possess such power.

A terrible sense of crisis rose from the bottom of his heart; he knew that the person in front of him was a threat to him!

"Kamen Rider BLACK-RX-AMAZON! Reporting for Duty!"

Matou Kariya clenched her fist and shouted loudly towards the front, her voice powerful, confident, and full of certainty.

"Sar! Count your sins, Machiri Zorgen!"

"cut!"

Zouken Matou's face darkened, and he quickly disappeared into the shadows of the villa.

His voice still echoed the moment he disappeared.

"Come on in if you dare! I'll be waiting for you here, Kariya!"

“What a coward, Machiri Zorgen.”

When Matou Kariya saw Zouken hiding so shamelessly, he felt resentful, but he had no choice but to enter.

He strode quickly into the villa, but the moment he entered, he immediately noticed the sound of countless insects moving in the corners.

The next second, Matou Kariya punched the wall next to him!

boom!

The immense force shook the entire villa, and instantly countless black insects fell from the protective ceiling, scattering across the ground.

It wasn't that he couldn't break through the wall, but that he was afraid to use his strength.

He was 100% certain that he could annihilate the entire villa with one punch, but the next second after annihilating the villa, he would also be annihilated.

Leng Mo had reminded himself before he came that he must not cause any damage.

Things have come to this! Things have come to this!!

The only option is to poison them!

In the blink of an eye, Matou Kariya turned and rushed out of the villa, then ran to the supermarket on the next street and bought a large amount of insecticide, standing in line at the counter to pay.

His armor made him stand out awkwardly in the group, but no one paid any attention, since cosplayers are quite common.

Meanwhile, Zouken Matou, who was observing the villa, was completely baffled by Kariya Matou's actions.

Weren't you going to take care of me? Why did you suddenly run away?

Isn't this making me very embarrassed?

Then, the next second, he saw Matou Kariya appear in the villa carrying large bags of insecticide, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Hehehe! It seems you haven't improved at all. You think insecticide will work on me?"

Zouken Matou's voice came from inside the villa, tinged with disdain.

"Enough with the nonsense! Eat my insecticide!!"

Without giving Zouken a chance, Matou Kariya pulled out the insecticide and began his operation.

puff!

Instantly, the entire villa was filled with the insecticide's effects.

Under the eaves and in dark corners, countless insects fell to the ground, twitching and waving their legs before gradually becoming still.

"The higher the mystery of a magic trick, the more effective it is, but what mystery do you, an insect, have? An insect is just an insect. Insecticide is most effective against things with low mystery! The mystery of insect magic lies in manipulating the insect, so... old insect, your magic is the most useless!!"

Kariya Matou shouted loudly towards the villa, showing no fear whatsoever!

Chapter 190 What?! What kind of power is this?!

That's why magic is such an absurd thing; sometimes it's amazing, but sometimes it's not as effective as technology.

Moreover, magicians disdain technological products and scoff at them.

The Tohsaka family is a typical example; they insist on using magic when something could be solved with a single bullet.

Is technology something inconvenient?

"You have nowhere to run, you old bug!"

Matou Kariya shouted fiercely, showing no fear whatsoever.

Then the old bug's voice came from the villa.

"So what? You think you can kill me with this little bit of money? Do you think that's possible?"

"Of course not! I didn't intend for the insecticide to kill you, but I'll kill all the bugs around you, expose your true form, and end this!"

Matou Kariya clenched his fist and shouted at the villa, filled with confidence at that moment.

I can do it! I can defeat the old bug!

The scales of victory have already tipped in my favor; it's only a matter of time!

Just you wait, you old bug!

Just as Matou Kariya was walking deeper into the villa, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Kaniya? You're Kariya!?"

What?! Aoi?!

Matou Kariya shuddered and stopped abruptly, turning around to look immediately.

He immediately realized something was wrong!

"Aoi! Get out of here—!!"

Kariya Matou shouted nervously at Aoi Tohsaka. He didn't know why Aoi Tohsaka was here, nor did he understand why she had come at this particular time.

But one thing is clear: it's dangerous!

Zouken Matou wouldn't miss this opportunity; if he seized the chance, Zouken would be unable to move.

Old Bug knew about her feelings for Kui, and that was precisely why...

But why now of all times!

He tried to stop it, but a terrible situation still occurred.

"Kariya! It seems that fate is on my side."

Zouken Matou's voice rang out from the villa, his voice tinged with laughter.

He had thought it would be a protracted battle, but unexpectedly, the foolish woman suddenly appeared and helped him. It was as if heaven had helped him.

"Hahahaha! Struggle! Let me see what this piece of trash can actually do! You can't do anything!"

"Old—bug—!!"

Kariya Matou roared angrily and ran towards Aoi Tohsaka.

At this moment, Aoi Tohsaka had already stepped into the villa. She stood there as if she hadn't noticed anything, staring blankly as Kariya Matou ran up to her.

She was the kind of quiet beauty who possessed a calming magic just by looking at her, with a faint smile on her face, unaware of the changes around her.

Countless insects broke through the insecticide's blockade behind her, swarming towards her in a suicide attack from the eaves, the walls, and under the floor.

Each insect carried the chilling aura of a soldier; they were intent on killing the woman who brought peace.

In front of her, Kariya Matou turned around at that moment and rushed towards Aoi Tohsaka, wanting to protect her before the insects attacked her.

He would protect them no matter what, even if it meant sacrificing himself.

If we can't even protect her, what's the point of this power?!

"sunflower--!"

Kariya Matou shouted loudly, stretching his arms forward. He wanted to stop it all; he wanted to grasp the hard-won hope.

But the insect was still faster than him, because in his haste he couldn't speed up immediately; concern clouded his judgment, and his mind became chaotic.

He watched as the beautiful figure before him was instantly engulfed by countless black insects like a flood, and his heart ached.

"don't want--!"

Watching Aoi Tohsaka being engulfed by the swarm of insects, Kariya Matou let out a cry from the depths of his soul, he…

"It's alright, Kariya. I'm fine."

Amidst the overwhelming swarm of insects, Aoi Tohsaka's voice sounded reassuring.
