"Yes, it's me."
Eh——
Makoto's expression became stiff instantly. What's going on? Are you really here? What does this mean? Could it be that I already care about him so much that I even think of him in my memories? No, this annoying feeling!
"Makoto, it's not a memory, it's a real person coming here."
"Huh?"
ACE patted her on the shoulder and brought her back to her senses.
On the high bleachers overhead, Ash somehow changed into a Santa Claus costume and stood on one foot, the muzzle of the closed gear gun in his hand still smoking.
"Why are you here? Matthew should have caught you!" The puppet was obviously very surprised by the appearance of Ash.
"Sorry, no one can catch me as long as I don't want to be caught. Now, Kenzaki Makoto——!"
Ash suddenly called out and stopped her. Makoto turned to look at him in surprise, also waiting for him to say something.
"Makoto, stand up for me, bad boy, and defeat the enemy!"
"Ha——————!???"
Makoto's face instantly turned green when he heard this sentence, and then Tianling Gai was so angry that his cheeks turned red.
"Your Majesty, why——!?"
"Don't be so excited. After all, you agreed to it yourself - oh, don't throw Spade Flying Sword over here."
A few more coins were dropped, and several intersections popped up on Makoto's forehead at the same time.
It's his grandma's fault. This matter is not over yet, right?
"I can win without you having to ask, let's go to ACE!"
"Haha."
Aguri, who didn't know much about jokes, could only laugh awkwardly and quickly followed.
"Don't say that, although today is not Christmas."
Seeing Makoto flying around on the ground after being beaten by an overly powerful enemy, Ash stuffed a gear into it.
"But I brought you an early Christmas present. Dark Summon!"
A new hero stone statue was summoned, and as light poured into the surface, it shattered, revealing the shining silver armor underneath.
"[Bla↘de↗!]"
"Uh-!"
Makoto, who was sitting on the ground, quickly crossed his hands to defend himself, preparing to deal with the next impact. However, after waiting for a long time, no expected attack came. When he opened his eyes, he saw a silver Rider holding a sword in front of him to block the enemy's attack.
The sword blade collided with the arm of the giant doll, causing sparks. The shiny sparks illuminated the Western armor-like armor flowing all over the body. The slightly yellowed pattern on the helmet looked like it was making an OWO expression to Makoto.
"You are..."
"Makoto, this is Kamen Rider blade!" Aguri, with sparkling eyes, shouted out Rider's name first. "He is Kamen Rider blade, Kenzaki Kazuma!"
What, his name is also Kenzaki?!
Seeing the same spade symbol on the other party, the battle names of blade and sword, and the same last name, Makoto seemed to understand why Ash would inexplicably ask her if she was Kenzaki Kazuma's sister.
This is really... a chance encounter.
Although I don't know what Ash is planning now, Makoto temporarily accepted his kindness, raised his sharp knife and stood with BLADE, and said with a smile.
"Let's work hard together, seniors with the name of Poker and Blade."
Upon hearing Makoto's words, Blade, who must have been a puppet without self-awareness, paused subtly.
Looking at the friendly interaction below, Ash shouted something below before preparing to go to other people's worlds.
"Yizhen, as someone with the same name as Kenzaki, I will leave this idol group to you for the time being. Please show some real skills as soon as possible~!"
"..."
Together with the ACE on the side to block the enemy's power, Blade lowered his head and pulled out a few cards, inserting them into the awakening fusion machine on his wrist.
"[Absorb Queen]"
"[Evolution King]"
Several awakening cards automatically flew out and merged into the armor, dyeing it with the golden color of the King. Heavy punches knocked the enemy back, and the golden Rider——[Kamen Rider BLade Emperor Form] appeared!
Chapter 140 The Sword of Spades and the Sword of Spades
When he knew that he had not really killed Ash, the heart that had been hanging on Aguri's chest for this period of time was finally relieved.
Although the original agreement was for her to defeat him, the sense of responsibility inherited from Princess Angie in Aguri's heart also told her so.
But every time she heard about Ash's deeds from other girls and remembered the smile when she thought of the delicious cake she was treated to that day, her mentality quietly changed and she no longer wanted to really defeat him.
What she should defeat is the real evil!
Not to mention that no one would want to take the life of someone they care about.
"It's so bad that a girl should bear such a burden for him!"
It's really, really good that nothing happened.
Cure Ace laughed in relief, twisted his sore ankle, and followed with all his strength.
"Drink——————!"
The Emperor's Compassion Sword and Cure Sword, Kenzaki Kazuma and Kenzaki Makoto, attacked the giant doll one from the left and one from the right.
"It's useless even if there is one more person - Nani!"
He raised his huge arm and pointed it at the shining golden warrior, who was hit squarely on the head. Just as the giant puppet was laughing at his stupidity, a crushing feeling came from his arm, causing it to pause.
"[Metal]! (Steel?7)"
"This guy!"
The next moment, Blade carrying Awakening Sword continued to rush towards it without any damage.
Is this guy serious?!,
"Where are you looking!"
As the girl screamed, Makoto slashed the hand knife with purple aura flashing, cutting a huge gap in the doll's chest.
At the same time, Awakening Sword slashed down on the other side, and the giant sword that could cut through any material on the earth followed Makoto's offensive, swinging it mercilessly and continuing to cause a lot of damage.
The girl is like a sharp sword, her attacks are swift and sharp, flying like a butterfly and stinging like a bee. Rider is like a heavy sword, its attack is steady and swift, and the power created by the superposition of awakening cards and fusion index is as unstoppable as a true emperor.
Although this was their first time fighting side by side, the two of them fought together seamlessly, just like two swords in the hands of a master of double-handed swordsmanship. Whenever one of them slowed down his attack, the other would seamlessly pick up the slack. Under the continuous attacks of the two, the enemy could only end up being defeated one after another.
"It's really hard to figure out who is in the same group."
Even the cure ace on the side complained like this.
Of course, complaints are complaints, so she couldn't just watch. She applied Love Kiss Slogan on her delicate lips, raised her hand and blew a kiss, then turned into a bright red love energy light cannon and wrapped it around the giant doll.
"I'm so excited, ACE Shot! It's on, you guys!"
After placing the ornaments on Heart Arrow, Makoto, whose whole body was filled with purple aura, slightly opened its mouth, raised its arms and rotated its body flowing with energy, turning itself into a shining purple tornado and flying up on the spot.
The five awakening cards automatically fell into Blade's hand according to his thoughts. He raised Awakening Sword and put the cards into the card reader one by one. While the AP value was consumed hugely, power was injected into the golden sword.
"[?10,? J,? Q,? K,? A]"
Enveloped by the light of the ACE shot, the giant immobile puppet watched helplessly as five card projections appeared in a row from the top of its head to the soles of its feet. The golden Rider jumped through each card, doubling the power of its sure-kill!
"[Royal Straight Flash!]"
He cut off the sword in his hand and cut it from the center. Huge light continued to pour out from the cracks, until he landed completely on the vertical cut mark that almost split the doll into two from the middle.
"Flash! Ultima Sword!"
The automatically rotating tornado flew the Makoto in the center toward the enemy, and its whole body was wrapped in purple aura. The girl who turned herself into a giant sword slashed her in staggered ways the moment she came into contact with the enemy, and then left horizontal slash marks on the doll's body.
"Qin————!"
Like the wind blowing, the crisp sound like the sword being sheathed rang in my ears.
The purple and gold warrior, who had his back to the enemy, put away his sword and slowly stood up.
The slash marks left on the huge doll just formed a cross of light. The doll was divided into four halves and scattered on the ground, followed by the agreed-upon explosion.
Seeing ACE running this way, Makoto, who exhaled all the stale air in his lungs, smiled in victory.
"Sword, you are so secretive!"
Aguri has investigated before. In the past, Cure Sword often failed in battles, just like those second knights who are lying on the ground to show off the strength of the enemy. I originally thought she was the weakest, but I didn't expect that today the ace ACE would also have an eye-opener.
"Your combined attack was so exciting that I couldn't even intervene. Is this the reason for the sword's battle name?"
Hearing this, blade, who was resting his hand on the sword, nodded. Rider, who was fighting fate, also recognized the sword's strength.
"I've already told you, seriously, I am invincible."
Hearing the encouragement from his friend, Makoto was so happy that he laughed.
But now is not the time to be complacent, they have more things to do, and they can't rest yet.
"Next, let's rescue everyone, and then——"
"Kick that guy awake!"
Facing the fist extended by Aguri, Makoto paused for a moment to understand its meaning, and extended his fist to meet her. The blade next to her looked at this scene and nodded as he remembered something.
On the other side, Ash, who was being talked about by the two, was watching their battle in the past world of Rikka and Arisu, nodding from time to time as he looked at their current appearance.
The gentle land of the past cannot trap the girls who have grown up. They soon wake up and fight the monsters that come to defeat them.
"You've become stronger."
It seems that there is no problem without my help.
Unknowingly, the girls who were once regarded by Ash as naive and unqualified for their temperament and fighting methods have grown into warriors that even he looks at with suspicion.
The enemy is a new monster formed by combining two monsters: a clock and a unicycle. The huge wheels can easily crush the body, and the telescopic arms derived from the clock structure can continuously attack people without stopping. The speed and strength were superior to the two, but the girls were not at a disadvantage, but continued to deal with the enemy.
"Rikka, let's go together and return to Mana and Makoto." During the previous forced sparring with Ash, the girls had developed this habit of encouraging each other.
"I'm sorry, you have to stay in the memories forever!"
The monster threw an explosive wheel that rotated at high speed. Rikka flew up and raised his right foot to kick the wheel left and right. Two groups of fireworks exploded behind him and lit up the determined faces of the girls.
"I'm sorry, a world without you all means nothing to us!"
Chapter 141: People who will never change their nature
Dodging the enemy's attack again, Rikka's expression was not optimistic. They had already consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle, and continuing the attrition battle would naturally be detrimental to them.
Calm down, calm down - Rikka, think about your fight, think about his fight!
"Always lock your sights on the enemy. Fighting is more than an all-round confrontation of mental and physical skills. At any time, a flaw can reverse the entire battle situation!"
The girls looked at each other and saw the same look in each other's eyes.
That's right, I, we already know how to win this battle!
Seeing that the girl seemed to be "tired", the combined monster immediately became complacent and started talking nonsense.
"You are two people, and so are we. The two of us were originally stronger than the two of you, not to mention the power that has been enhanced several times after joining together. Even if you are legendary warriors, it is impossible to defeat us!"
"Is that so?" The soft waist easily bent to the limit without breaking. Rikka flexibly performed several consecutive backflips to get out of the monster's combo fist. The huge fist could only touch the ribbon at the corner of the girl's clothes. "Someone told me that until one side falls completely, the outcome of the battle will not be easily determined."
"Mr. Forgotten Ones, do you know?" Arisu mobilized the energy in his body and hit the tire as a means of movement with a standard and beautiful direct punch derived from martial arts. "The outcome of the battle cannot be determined by simply relying on strength."
"Hey, you guys are so noisy!" Although the tire was not fatally attacked, it made it even more angry. "Wait until I knock you all down and see what else you can say."
The girls immediately started the next offensive. They attacked the combined monster from two directions at the same time, one from the left and the other from the right!
Huh, that's stupid. I have two people fused together at the same time. Do you think I can't attack both sides at the same time? Look, I'll kill you all in one go!
