"Project Bunny?"

After the flow of time returned to normal, Bronya stared blankly at her partner, who was falling apart right in front of her.

Project Bunny was a gift from her adopted sister, Seele, when they parted ways in the Quantum Sea.

This was why this large, female mech could normally accompany Bronya as an energy form.

Theoretically, even if Project Bunny were destroyed, it shouldn't have simply dissipated like sand in the wind.

But now, Bronya could clearly feel that Project Bunny was in a terrible state.

She was still connected to Project Bunny, but for now, Bronya couldn't summon the completely disintegrated Project Bunny again.

"Alright, one more chance, lay down your arms and surrender... Never mind, that's too much trouble."

Seeing Bronya's eyes instantly sharpen, Gu Yu scratched his head in annoyance before taking out two cards from his card holder.

"Forget it, if I kick you, you'll probably be gone."

[KamenRideWizard]

"No need for unnecessary slaughter. Let's leave it at that."

[AttackRideSleep]

After switching to Wizard's fiery form, Gu Yu directly opened his right hand, summoning a magic circle.

Kamen Rider Wizard was a rider who could fight with various magic. The [Sleep] magic Gu Yu was using at this moment was a magic that made the user fall asleep.

However, after Gu Yu cast this power onto Bronya, the previously vigilant Russian girl suddenly felt her eyelids getting incredibly heavy.

"Strange... Bronya... why do I feel so sleepy..."

As a killer trained by the military, staying up late on missions was practically routine for Bronya.

But this time, Bronya, who had been full of energy just moments ago, felt her mind completely consumed by sleepiness within a single second.

"Alright, I can't sing you a lullaby, so just lie down."

Watching Bronya collapse to the ground with a 'thump', Gu Yu said helplessly towards the room where Kiana and Raiden Mei were resting.

"You're both awake now, right? If you're awake, pack some food and water, and let's retreat."

"This little girl definitely contacted her mother. We need to move quickly before her mother gets here."

Upon hearing Gu Yu's instructions, Raiden Mei and Kiana exchanged a look in the room and immediately hurried towards the storage room where the food was kept.

Although the two had experienced a lot today, in such a dangerous situation, how could they possibly fall into a deep sleep?

They had been woken up by the subtle sounds as soon as Bronya and Gu Yu began their confrontation.

If they hadn't been worried about disturbing Gu Yu's fight, they might have poked their heads out to see what was going on long ago.

However, as Raiden Mei and Kiana began to pack their belongings, Gu Yu's expression under his mask changed drastically.

"Tch, these hounds are really fast."

Seeing the Titan Mechs landing with a 'thud' at the Beichen Dojo, Gu Yu immediately rushed to Bronya's side and scooped her up from the ground.

"Huh? Bronya?!"

After surrounding the Beichen Dojo, Cocolia, standing on a Titan Mech, saw Bronya unconscious in Gu Yu's arms and her expression changed immediately.

Although Cocolia had considered the possibility of her daughter failing before the operation, it had only been about two minutes from Bronya's contact to Cocolia's arrival.

She had already dispatched a large force to search for Raiden Mei near Bronya to cover for her daughter, but now it seemed she had been too careless.

"Oh, the mother fox auntie from Anti-Entropy."

Seeing the sudden change in Cocolia's expression, Gu Yu, like a third-rate villain, pointed the Armed Wizard Gunsword he had manifested at Cocolia.

"I suggest you don't make any sudden moves. Your daughter is in my hands. It won't take me a second to kill her."

"...Heh, is that so?"

Looking at Gu Yu's actions, Cocolia's originally worried expression suddenly became incredibly relaxed.

"Kid, are you threatening me?"

"Of course. Make your mech squad retreat, or else..."

"--Or else you'll kill Bronya?"

Finishing Gu Yu's intended words, Cocolia glanced disdainfully at the weapon in Gu Yu's hand.

"Kid, if I were you, I'd put the weapon on the hostage's neck when threatening someone, not point it at me."

"I can see it now, you never intended to actually harm my daughter. Based on your actions, it seems you haven't killed anyone, have you?"

Gu Yu fell silent after Cocolia finished speaking.

Although the girl in his arms was currently his enemy, Gu Yu, who was still an ordinary person, was indeed unprepared to kill, just as Cocolia had said.

Rather, forget killing, he would even save those he could within his abilities.

Even Raiden Mei, who had almost smashed him to death, Gu Yu had chosen to pull the girl back from mid-air instead of watching her fall to the ground.

"People like you, to put it nicely, are kind. To put it harshly, you're weak. With that kind of nature, even with immense power, you'll never be able to defeat me."

"Since you didn't harm Bronya, I'll give you a choice."

Seeing Gu Yu fall completely silent, Cocolia felt completely assured.

"Bronya is my daughter, but if it's necessary to complete my plan, I don't mind attacking her too."

"Do you choose to be directly killed by my mech squadron?"

"Or do you choose to hand over Raiden Mei and Bronya, and then surrender to me?"

"Come on, give me your choice. Ten seconds, I'll only wait ten seconds."

Listening to Cocolia's proposal, the silent Gu Yu directly dropped the Wizard Gunsword in his hand.

"You don't even need ten seconds, I already have my answer."

"Right from the start!"

Seeing Gu Yu throw down his weapon, Cocolia, who felt victory was hers, immediately couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Very good, then..."

"Then, there's only one answer. I will offer you my loyalty... Bullshit!"

[KamenRideBlade]

After switching to the silver-white Awakened Swordsman, Gu Yu threw Bronya directly into the room behind him, then gripped the manifested [Awakened Sword] in his hand.

"I will absolutely not associate with a piece of trash like you!"

"Never in this lifetime!"
