Love Live and Kamen Rider 30

"Ha~ damn it, why isn't that rat here yet? Hey, Silver Phantom, do you think we're in the wrong place?"

Senba Gari yawned lazily, then spoke to his motorcycle.

Honestly, such an action looked like insanity in the eyes of outsiders.

"Mommy, look at that big brother, he's so weird. He's actually talking to his motorcycle."

Just then, a little girl passing by stood to the side, raised her small finger, and pointed at Senba Gari. The woman beside her, her mother, said to the little girl.

"Silly child, that's because that big brother is sick and forgot to take his medicine, that's why he's talking to the motorcycle."

"Oh."

Hey! Lady over there, don't you know you're supposed to whisper when talking behind someone's back? I heard everything! And what kind of sickness would make me talk to a motorcycle? Are you crazy? Forgot to take my medicine? You're the one who needs medicine! Your whole family needs medicine!

Senba Gari watched the mother and daughter with a twitching mouth, feeling depressed in his heart.

〖Pfft.〗

Suddenly, a strange mechanical laugh came through the Bluetooth headset in Senba Gari's ear.

"You guy, you laughed, didn't you? You definitely laughed!"

Senba Gari glared angrily at his motorcycle, and then the mother and daughter spoke again.

"Mommy, look, that big brother is talking to his motorcycle again."

"Be good, honey. That big brother has probably given up on treatment. Alright, let's go quickly, this sickness might be contagious."

Then, the woman pulled the little girl away from Senba Gari's vicinity.

Given up on treatment? You're the one who gave up on treatment! Everyone in your family registry gave up on treatment! And lady, do I have a grudge against you? Why treat me like this?

After hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter, Senba Gari's face was as dark as ink, and he felt like he was about to suffer internal injuries.

〖Pfft, hahahaha.〗

Then that mechanical laughter came through the headset into Senba Gari's ear again. Senba Gari looked angrily at the dashboard of his motorcycle.

"Laugh, what the hell are you laughing at? You were definitely doing that on purpose just now, deliberately watching me make a fool of myself!"

The data on the dashboard changed in the next second into an expression laughing so hard it was convulsing, while the bike body trembled slightly.

"Hahaha, how, haha, how could that be, Master? Hahaha, wasn't I just afraid of being discovered? Hahaha, no, I can't take it, let me laugh a bit more, hahaha."

"Alright, stop laughing, we're here on business. I was asking you something just now."

Senba Gari's mouth twitched as he stared speechlessly at the ridiculous expression on the dashboard.

〖Cough cough, well, master, I checked, we are not in the wrong place, it's just...〗

"It's just what?"

Silver Phantom's voice suddenly paused, giving Senba Gari a sudden bad premonition.

"It's just, master, did you forget? The other party is a delinquent, how could they possibly be in a hurry to show up~ ╮(‵▽′)╭" Then the expression on the dashboard changed again.

"Damn it, you should have said so earlier!"

〖...That's because you didn't ask, master. →_→〗

"I think you just forgot. Besides, your expression gave everything away."

Senba Gari watched the expression on the dashboard with a twitching mouth, then spoke again.

"Forget it, I'm going to buy some drinks. You wait here for me."

〖Understood, master.〗

Senba Gari got off the bike, but the moment he did, the mechanical voice of Silver Phantom came through the headset, making him stumble.

〖By the way, master, bring me some motor oil while you're at it. I just woke up recently, and my stomach might be a little hungry.〗

Senba Gari roared at Silver Phantom.

"Give me a break! Where am I supposed to buy motor oil here? And you're a machine, aren't you?! How could you possibly be hungry?!"

But after he finished roaring, he realized he was now completely surrounded by onlookers, all of whom were looking at him with pity.

"Fine, you win."

Senba Gari muttered fiercely into the headset, then walked into a restaurant with a livid face.

"Welcome, is there anything you need?"

He walked to the counter and was asked by a waitress.

"Give me a cup of apple juice."

〖And a serving of motor oil.〗

"And a serving of... chicken wings."

Senba Gari was almost led astray by Silver Phantom's voice just as he finished speaking. He pressed his left hand against the headset and hissed fiercely at the machine inside.

"You were definitely sent by Gaia to mess with me, weren't you! Definitely!"

"Um, sir, your order is ready."

The waitress on the side spoke to Senba Gari.

"Ah, is that so? Thank you."

He then took his things and left, and the girl said to him, "Please come again next time."

Sitting on the Silver Phantom, Senba Gari was just about to eat a chicken wing and drink his apple juice, but before he could even take a bite, 〖Master, is there none for me?〗

"No."

〖Oh, Master.〗

"What is it?"

〖The target has mobilized.〗

After a brief silence, Senba Gari's mouth twitched as he looked at the Silver Phantom, a chicken wing still poised near his lips.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

〖I don't know. →_→〗

"Sigh~ guess it's my bad luck. Let's go."

Helplessly setting aside the food he hadn't yet touched, he took off his headphones, put on his silver helmet, and rode the Silver Phantom toward the target's location.

On a remote highway in the distance, a grey-black humanoid rat sat on a strangely shaped motorcycle; this was Rat Mlortha.

Rat Mlortha had been quite happy, but the clear roar of an engine gradually began to draw near.

〖Master, the target is two meters ahead of us. I suggest you prepare to transform.〗

Before long, the voice of the Silver Phantom reached his ears from inside the helmet. It had to be said, it was quite reliable at times, despite its usually exasperating personality.

"Mm, I know. Manifest."

As soon as Senba Gari finished speaking, a strangely shaped belt appeared around his waist.

"Henshin!"

He pulled a transformation card from his pocket, inserted it into the right side of the belt's Transformation Device, and the belt emitted a series of mechanical sounds.

〖Vehicle armour appear〗

Fiery red armor projections appeared around various parts of Senba Gari's body, followed by another synthesized mechanical voice.

〖Armed〗

Once the second mechanical sound finished, the fiery red armor projections fully equipped Senba Gari.

〖Divine Garuda〗

Following the third mechanical sound, Senba Gari transformed into Kamen Rider Divine.

Then, Divine swiped a weapon card across the top of the belt's Transformation Device, and the belt emitted two dull, synthesized mechanical sounds.

〖Weapon appeared〗

〖Flame Feather Blade〗

The weapon card in Divine's hand turned into flames, taking shape in his right hand until the Flame Feather Blade appeared in his grasp.

He caught up to Rat Mlortha and said to the Silver Phantom, "I'll leave the rest to you."

〖Understood. Engaging autopilot.〗

Rat Mlortha swung its tail toward Divine, but Divine held the Flame Feather Blade horizontally in front of him.

"Clang."

Sparks flew between the tail and the blade, and Divine lifted his leg to kick Rat Mlortha, sending the creature flying off its motorcycle.

Rat Mlortha then swept its tail directly toward the front wheel of the Silver Phantom. Just as the tail was about to strike, Divine gripped the handlebars tightly and swung the rear of the bike hard, causing the Silver Phantom to drift and deflect the tail.

"Squeak~"

Rat Mlortha let out a sudden cry, and the Motorcycle Mlortha, which had been off to the side, suddenly moved on its own and charged toward Divine and the Silver Phantom.

〖Master, get off. Leave this motorcycle to me.〗

"Mm, be careful."

Though he was puzzled, Divine trusted the Silver Phantom, so he jumped off the bike with his blade in hand and walked toward Rat Mlortha.

The Silver Phantom suddenly emitted a few sounds.

〖Form change, Combat Mode.〗

The parts on the Silver Phantom began to detach and reassemble, and a two-meter-tall silver robot appeared before the Motorcycle Mlortha.

〖Now, I shall be the one to finish you.〗

On the other side, Divine, who was currently clashing with Rat Mlortha, saw this scene and sighed with emotion.

"It seems there's someone to handle the housework from now on."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Silver Phantom, preparing to engage Motorcycle Mlortha, felt its components shudder slightly.

Strange, I have a feeling the future is going to be pitch black.

It didn't dwell on the thought, however, because Motorcycle Mlortha was already charging over.

Silver Phantom raised both hands, gripped the handlebars of Motorcycle Mlortha, and flung it backward, causing it to collide perfectly with Rat Mlortha, which had been thrown over by Divine as well.

Divine and Silver Phantom exchanged a glance, and then Divine drew a card from the Card Box; it was identical to the previous one in color—red—but the pattern on the front depicted a burning blade surrounded by flaming feathers.

As for Silver Phantom, its right hand transformed into a firearm featuring postmodern technology.

Divine inserted the card into the slot above the handguard of Flame Feather Blade, causing the semi-folded wings on both sides of the guard to suddenly snap open. Simultaneously, Silver Phantom aimed its muzzle at Motorcycle Mlortha and Rat Mlortha, and two different synthesized mechanical voices rang out in unison.

〖Kill weapon〗/〖The guns of storage〗

〖Energy storage〗/〖locking〗

〖Yu Huang strong explosion〗/〖Plasma cannon〗

The feather patterns on the blade of the Flame Feather Blade in Divine's hand began to spew flames, weaving together into a blade of fire. He raised both hands and slashed down toward Rat Mlortha and Motorcycle Mlortha, while a blue energy began to condense within the muzzle of the postmodern firearm on Silver Phantom's right hand before erupting outward.

The red flame feather blade and the blue Plasma Cannon triggered a violent explosion upon the two Mlortha. At the center of the blast, there remained only a wrecked motorcycle and the delinquent from before; as for the black crystal, it had long since vanished.

"Hello, is this the hospital? I've found an unconscious person on the XXX road section. Please come quickly. Whew, that settles it. Let's go, Silver Phantom."

Senba Gari, having deactivated his transformation, spoke to Silver Phantom—which had reverted to its motorcycle form—after finishing his call to the hospital.

〖Oh, right, master, what are we having for dinner?〗

〖We eat whatever we have. Besides, aren't you a machine?〗

With that, the man and the motorcycle vanished into the road, yet the crisis had not yet disappeared.
