Starting with Firefly, Speedrunning the World

As far as Firefly knew, only Sara Sakurai was working to earn money for the Sakurai siblings. It wasn't clear if her younger brother, Keiwa Sakurai, had found a job yet.

What's more, Keiwa Sakurai was busy being a Kamen Rider, so it would be hard for him to hold down a stable job.

"No, I bought it to eat anyway!"

Sara Sakurai waved her hand dismissively. She wouldn't usually buy these, but the supermarket was having a sale today.

Even with the discount, it was still a bit pricey for her, but she couldn't resist buying a little of everything at this price.

It was still early, so Sara Sakurai wasn't in a hurry to cook. Instead, she chatted with Firefly, mostly talking about Nene Arakawa.

Sara Sakurai was very lively and cheerful, making it easy to get along with her.

Firefly also felt comfortable talking with her.

However, thinking about what Sara Sakurai might face in the future, she decided to give her something.

"Miss Sara, I'd like to give this to you... Please accept it."

Firefly handed her a Light Cone.

"What is this?"

Sara Sakurai looked curiously at the item in Firefly's hand. It was a crystal card-like object with something resembling amber inside, and a crescent moon within the amber.

It was magical, unlike any ordinary item.

"This is a Light Cone. It's hard for me to explain exactly what it is."

"You can think of it as an amulet to carry with you; it will keep you safe..."

It was difficult to explain the Light Cone to Sara Sakurai, and she likely wouldn't believe it anyway, so it was best to treat it as a protective charm.

This was a Light Cone of Preservation - [Stasis].

It was the faint power condensed from time itself.

It was precisely all the insignificant moments that wove together a magnificent destiny.

"Only that which is not bound by time can endure through time."

Its existence was enough to protect Sara Sakurai from harm.

"An amulet?"

A protective charm like this?

It did look quite mysterious, its presence like a black hole, drawing her spirit in.

While Firefly was talking with Sara Sakurai, on the other side, at the DGP venue, the remaining participating Kamen Riders had been summoned.

However, upon arrival, they didn't see the Game Master Guelorey. Instead, a different, unfamiliar man stood beside Tsumuri.

"Why have you suddenly summoned us, Tsumuri?"

"Is it to continue the DGP Grand Prix?"

They exchanged glances, all confused about the situation. They didn't even know what had happened with the DGP operations after that last game of nerve-racking play ended.

"No, it's not."

"First, I apologize. There have been some issues with the DGP Grand Prix..."

After glancing at Nilam's expression, Tsumuri stepped forward and addressed them.

"There are problems with the DGP Grand Prix?"

"What's going on?!"

Everyone was surprised. Had something actually happened when the administrator intervened last time?

However, compared to these concerns, Azuma Michinaga was more focused on something else.

"Don't tell me the Grand Prix can't continue!"

Azuma Michinaga stared intently at Tsumuri. He didn't want the DGP Grand Prix to end before he had defeated all the Kamen Riders.

Otherwise, what would all his efforts have amounted to?

Ace Ukiyo, standing nearby, remained silent, his head bowed, lost in thought.

After learning about his mother's situation, he desperately wanted to rescue her, but he realized he couldn't do it alone.

He was no match for the DGP operations by himself.

He now had only two paths before him: either cooperate with that Stellaron Hunter, or advance further in the DGP Grand Prix and find a suitable opportunity later.

For now, he could only play along with the DGP operations, seek opportunities to cooperate with the Stellaron Hunters, and wait for the right moment to rescue his mother.

"I'm very sorry, but due to Stellaron Hunter Sam, Game Master Mr. Guelorey has been confirmed dead, and his Vision Driver has also fallen into Stellaron Hunter Sam's hands."

"Without the administrator's Desire Driver, even becoming the Desire God won't allow wishes to be granted."

"And the DGP Grand Prix can no longer continue!"

Tsumuri explained the current situation with hesitation. Even if they wanted to continue the DGP Grand Prix, it was impossible without the Vision Driver.

"What, the Game Master is dead?"

"Stellaron Hunter Sam actually stopped the DGP Grand Prix..."

Listening to Tsumuri's explanation, Keiwa Sakurai and the others were greatly shocked, not expecting the situation to be so dire.

Did this also mean their identities as Kamen Riders were over?

"So, in short, what you're saying is..."

"As long as we snatch back the Administrator's Driver from Stellaron Hunter Sam, the DGP Grand Prix can continue, and the wish can still be granted, right?"

Compared to the others' shock, Azuma Michinaga stepped forward and directly asked Tsumuri for his understanding.

In the end, it was just a lack of the Administrator's Driver.

To grant a wish, that thing was needed...

"Rider Azuma..."

As Tsumuri looked at Azuma Michinaga and was about to say something, Nilam walked out from the side and spoke to him.

"You are correct. As long as the Vision Driver is retrieved, the game can continue, and the wish can still be granted!"

"In fact, if you retrieve the Vision Driver, you will be the next Desire God."

Nilam's gaze was fixed on Azuma Michinaga. Whoever could retrieve the Vision Driver, he wouldn't mind granting them a wish directly.

"..."

Hearing the man's words, everyone's expression changed.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Everyone looked at Tsumuri, unsure if what this person said was true.

"This is Lord Nilam, the Game Producer of DGP Operations. His words are the decision of DGP Operations."

Tsumuri quickly explained to everyone.

"Game Producer..."

He sounded like a very important figure in DGP Operations.

"So, in the end, the Desire Grand Prix has become a game to snatch back the Vision Driver from Stellaron Hunter Sam, right?"

"You can understand it that way."

Nilam nodded.

He didn't expect these participating Riders to defeat that Stellaron Hunter. As long as the Driver was retrieved, it was enough.

However, thinking about the phantom he faced last time.

Even now, he couldn't comprehend what kind of terrifying existence it was. He had scoured the internal DGP documents these past few days but found nothing.

It was an existence that could not be explained by technology alone.

"It won't be easy to snatch the Driver from Stellaron Hunter Sam!"

Although the goal was set, they were still frowning. They had all witnessed the Stellaron Hunter's strength, especially Azuma Michinaga and Ace Ukiyo...

Moreover, even the Game Master was killed by him.

This was a game where one could easily die.

However, not everyone intended to snatch back the Driver from Stellaron Hunter Sam.

At least Nene Arakawa and Ace Ukiyo didn't think so.

In Nene Arakawa's opinion, she was now allied with Sam and the others. She was an inside informant for the Stellaron Hunters in the DGP Grand Prix.

Instead, she should inform Firefly.

To make Sam and the others vigilant...

But was the Game Master really killed by Mr. Sam?

"Stellaron Hunter Sam..."

Ace Ukiyo had no intention of fighting for the Desire Driver. Compared to these things, he was more looking forward to cooperating with the other party to deal with DGP Operations. This way, he could also find an opportunity to rescue his mother.

The Desire God, after learning about his mother's information, was no longer that important.

"So now the Desire Grand Prix has become a game to find Stellaron Hunter Sam and snatch back the Driver?"

Back home, Nene Arakawa immediately sold out DGP Operations and told Firefly everything.

She asked Firefly to notify Mr. Sam to be wary of DGP Operations and those participating Riders.

Firefly, upon hearing this, felt it was somewhat interesting.

However, she didn't pay much attention. These people, at least for now, couldn't be considered her opponents.

Even if they really found her, it would just be a suicide mission.

"So it doesn't matter, right?"

"Firefly-chan, didn't you say the Stellaron Hunters have very few members?"

Nene Arakawa was a little worried, based on what Firefly had said.

Behind the DGP Grand Prix, there were many Future People, not just operating it but also watching. Would all those Future People get involved?

Could the Stellaron Hunters organization fight against so many Future People?

"The Stellaron Hunters do have very few members, but don't worry, dealing with them... isn't difficult..."

"Compared to the disaster caused by Stellar Cores, the DGP's operations are nothing."

With the trump cards Firefly currently held, especially those she couldn't even control, she felt no pressure facing those Future People.

In fact, she was a little excited...

The Points reward for fighting these Future People should be even higher.

But while those Future People could watch, very few would actually dare to step in.

Or perhaps it would be like Suel's situation, where the audience became part of his Transformation.
