Love Live and Kamen Rider 29

"Screech."

Divine then pulled back his left hand, flipped the two metal claw blades on his gauntlet forward, and slashed down at Rat Mlortha.

Rat Mlortha was knocked to the ground by Divine, then quickly scrambled over to its motorcycle and hoisted it upright. The motorcycle's appearance shifted, becoming incredibly ferocious, most notably with dark, jagged spikes sprouting from its wheels.

Upon seeing this, Divine only had one thing to say.

"Are you f***ing kidding me? Even the motorcycle can transform?!"

Rat Mlortha climbed onto the bike, and it must be said, the sight of that Rat Mlortha sitting on the motorcycle was quite comical.

Rat Mlortha then revved the engine and charged straight at Divine. Divine dodged just in time, and Rat Mlortha rode off on the motorcycle.

"Damn it, have some guts and don't run!"

Furious, Divine fished a card out of his Card Box; it was the same shape as his previous weapon cards, but the pattern depicted a pair of burning wings.

He swiped it across the top of his belt Transformation Device, and a synthesized voice rang out once more.

〖Blazing Wings〗

The armor on Divine's back, which resembled folded wings, spread open and emitted several jets of flame that wove together into a pair of fiery wings.

He leaped upward, flapped the flaming wings, and took to the sky to pursue Rat Mlortha.

Suddenly, Rat Mlortha turned the motorcycle into a narrow alleyway. Because the space was so tight, by the time Divine flew to the other side, Rat Mlortha was nowhere to be seen.

Landing on the ground, he deactivated his armor, and the figure of Senba Gari appeared.

"Damn it, let him get away."

After cursing Rat Mlortha, he turned and left. However, a woman with grayish-brown hair stepped out of a shop, saw Senba Gari's retreating figure in the distance, tilted her head, blinked, and muttered in confusion.

"That back... it looks like, little Gari?"

Scene change after a long time—

In a villa somewhere.

"Click."

"I'm home."

"..."

After pushing the door open, Senba Gari said this out of habit, but no one responded to him.

"...Seriously, I forgot again. They aren't here anymore."

Feeling dejected, Senba Gari returned to his room, threw himself onto a large bed, and picked up his phone to see a message.

"Recently, motorcycle robberies have been on the rise. Citizens, please be careful."

Seeing this, Senba Gari immediately sat up, pulled a laptop from the side, opened it, and his hands began typing rapidly across the keyboard.

Finally, Senba Gari curled his lips into a smile as he looked at the computer screen, which displayed several locations marked with red dots.

"Looks like he'll definitely appear in Akihabara next time. But why is it always Akihabara? Plus, since this guy has a motorcycle, it's going to be hard for me to catch him."

Thinking of Rat Mlortha's motorcycle, Senba Gari felt helpless again, but a voice caught his attention.

"If you're so troubled, why don't you let me help you?"

"This voice... Gaia! Is that you?"

"Hehe, looks like you haven't forgotten me yet."

As soon as the words fell, a spatial ripple appeared above Senba Gari's head, and then Gaia's loli figure appeared, though...

"Whoa."

Senba Gari was hit squarely on the head by Gaia's bottom.

"Oops, where's the person? Where did he go?"

Gaia scanned her surroundings but couldn't find Senba Gari beneath her.

"I'm right here."

"Eek!"

Just then, Senba Gari spoke up at the worst possible moment. Gaia felt the heat beneath her, looked down, and saw her bottom was pressing right against Senba Gari. Her face turned as red as an apple. She stood up, raised her tiny fist, and smashed it hard into Senba Gari's face, shouting:

"You big pervert!"

"BOOM"

"Pfft—"

How can a Kamen Rider be without a ride? (Laughs)

At night, in a villa, two figures—one large and one small—sat one after the other on a messy bed in the protagonist's room. Gaia, a little loli with silver hair and silver eyes wearing a black gothic lolita dress, was looking angrily at Senba Gari, who was smiling awkwardly in front of her.

Senba Gari's nose was red, with a bandage stuck to it. If an outsider were to see this scene, they might call Yao Yao Ling to have the police come and arrest Senba Gari.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Gaia stared coldly at Senba Gari.

"I know."

Senba Gari looked at the look in Gaia's eyes and then lowered his head. He had no choice; if looks could kill, he would have died ten or twenty times over by now.

"Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"

Gaia's expression softened slightly as she spoke.

"Uh, well, I don't know."

Senba Gari said, his tone hesitant.

"Hmm."

Gaia's gaze turned sharp once again.

"I'm sorry! Please, you must spare my life!"

Senba Gari cried out, feeling like he wanted to weep. After all, it was clearly the other party who had first used her butt to—ahem—crash into him. Why was he the one being interrogated? At this moment, he realized for the first time that no matter what kind of woman she was, if you tried to argue with her, you were destined to lose.

"Hmph, I'll spare you this time, but if there's a next time, hmph hmph."

As she spoke, Gaia raised her pink fist and threatened Senba Gari with it.

"Yes! Wait, there's going to be a next time?!"

Senba Gari said in horror after hearing the second half of Gaia's sentence.

"BOOM!"

"Ouch!"

Senba Gari clutched his head, staring at the culprit before him.

Gaia seemed to have no self-awareness as the perpetrator, instead playing with Senba Gari's laptop in a leisurely manner.

"Sigh~ forget it. Right! Is there something you needed by coming over here?"

He sighed helplessly, then suddenly remembered that Gaia seemed to have come here for a reason.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just have some things to give you."

She then handed four strange cards into Senba Gari's hands.

"Things? What are these?"

Taking the four strange cards from Gaia, he observed them closely and discovered that, aside from the patterns on the front and their colors, they were identical to the Divine Garuda transformation card he already possessed.

The four cards were silver-gray, orange-yellow, emerald-green, and cyan-blue.

The patterns on the front of the cards were also different: the silver-gray card featured a running wolf; the orange-yellow card showed a Diamond ape with its two fists colliding; the emerald-green card depicted a semi-upright stallion with a pair of wings and a horn on its head; and the cyan-blue card showed a dragon soaring through the air.

"These are Divine transformation cards for other forms I found for you in other worlds, designed for combat in special environments."

"Other transformation cards!"

Senba Gari looked at the four cards in his hands with excitement, but Gaia's next sentence poured cold water on him.

"However, you can't use them yet."

"Why?"

Senba Gari looked at Gaia in confusion.

"Because you haven't gained their recognition yet."

Gaia said indifferently.

"Recognition? Then what do I have to do for them to recognize me?"

Senba Gari looked at Gaia with hopeful eyes, but a single sentence from her plunged him into total despair.

"I don't know."

"Are you kidding me! You don't know?! Waaah!"

He shouted at Gaia, only to be punched by her again.

Gaia retracted her fist and said helplessly.

"Why are you shouting so loudly? I still have one more thing to give you, don't I?"

"Hmm? What else is there?"

"Follow me to your yard and you'll see."

Though puzzled, Senba Gari obediently followed behind Gaia.

Once in the yard, Gaia surveyed the surroundings: the emerald-green lawn beneath their feet and the cherry blossom tree in the center of the lawn. Since it wasn't the season for cherry blossoms, it was just a bare tree.

Then, a spatial ripple appeared in front of Gaia, followed by the roar of an engine echoing from within. As the sound drew closer, a silver-white motorcycle surged out from the spatial ripple and came to a stop in front of Gaia.

The silver-white motorcycle's body had a streamlined design like a Falcon; even the cowl and headlight perfectly mimicked the spirit of a Falcon. The liquid crystal dashboard on the front gave the bike a high-tech feel, and the word Phantom was inscribed on both sides of the body. All in all, it was a motorcycle that radiated coolness.

"This, this is a motorcycle."

Senba Gari stared blankly at the Falcon-like motorcycle in front of Gaia.

"That's right, what do you think? Not bad, right? This is a Divine-exclusive motorcycle I created by referencing the vehicles of the Kamen Rider from your human history."

Gaia walked up to Senba Gari and puffed out her chest, speaking to him with pride.

"No matter how much you puff it out, nothing is going to come of it, ouch."

Senba Gari's mouth twitched as he watched Gaia's actions, and no sooner had he finished speaking than he was kicked by her.

"Hmph, I'm heading back now. The rest is up to you. Oh, right, take this too."

With that, just as she was about to leave, Gaia shoved a colorful gemstone she was holding into Senba Gari's heart, then departed, leaving behind only that silver-white motorcycle and Senba Gari, who had his hand pressed against his chest.

"Strange, it felt like Gaia just shoved something into my heart. Whatever, I should get familiar with that motorcycle first; I'll need it tomorrow anyway."

As he said this, Senba Gari placed his hand on the bike, and suddenly.

Beep, unknown DNA detected, initiating automatic master recognition.

...Beep, recognition complete.

Identity confirmed, Name: Senba Gari, Gender: Male, Blood Type: O, Hidden Identity: Kamen Rider Divine, Spiritual Power Level: S- (Semi-awakened), confirmation complete, entering wake-up state.

Beep, language, knowledge, and emotions of this world detected, starting download... Beep, download complete.

Artificial intelligence system activated, system codename: Phantom Silver.

Beep, may I ask, are you my master?

A series of synthesized mechanical voices rang out continuously from the motorcycle. When the final mechanical sound faded, Senba Gari stared at the bike in utter bewilderment, then spoke up.

"What the hell! The motorcycle can actually talk!"

The first collaboration between man and machine.

"Haa~"

On a roadside in Akihabara, a handsome, delicate-looking black-haired youth wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and brown jeans, with a stylish silver-white Bluetooth headset on his left ear, sat listlessly on a motorcycle. The bike was entirely silver-white, its body streamlined like a Falcon, with a front end that perfectly mimicked the spirit of a Falcon, a dashboard full of high-tech aesthetics, and the characters for 'Phantom' written on both sides of the frame, giving it an incredibly cool look. He let out a yawn.

It must be said that a handsome, stylish youth sitting lazily on such a cool motorcycle would normally turn quite a few heads, but.
