Love Live and Kamen Rider

Senba Gari: ...Forget it, it's just a table, and you were the one who paid for it anyway (Weather: WTF?!), so next up, Blade vs...

Agito (holding a certain photo): Blade! You dropped something!

Blade (reaching out): Oh! Tha...

Chalice stares at the person in the photo with trembling hands, finally letting go of the photo in despair.

Chalice (darkened): Kenzaki... you... actually have a girl you like behind my back...

Blade (sweating): Hajime... cal... calm down... calm down... (backing away~)

Senba Gari: This is! (picks up the photo that fell at his feet)

Senba Gari (darkened): Ara~ Senior Kenzaki~ (grabbing the shoulder of a certain gay-blade) Can you tell me~ where this photo came from~ (a smile that is definitely not friendly)

Agito (picking up the photo): Oh my, isn't this Gari's student, Maki Nishikino? Wow! And she's even in a swimsuit! This figure is quite something~ No wonder Blade would be tempted.

Chalice (a smile that is definitely not friendly): Hehehehehehe~

Senba Gari (a smile that is definitely not friendly): Hehehehehehe~

Blade (cowering in the corner): Ugh, ugh, ugh!!!!

Fear -- exclusive to the gay-blade!

Chalice (darkened): Kenzaki, don't worry, we will be 'together' forever~ Hehehehehehe~

Senba Gari (darkened): Senior Kenzaki~ Tell me~ where did this photo come from~

Agito: If I remember correctly, it seems you were the one who sold it to Blade, author, in exchange for one hundred bags of Integrity Brand Potato Chips.

Weather (shocked): Holy crap! Agito! You sold me out! What grudge or grievance do I have with you that you would harm me like this!

Agito: ...He has more than one.

Weather: I have a curse word I don't know if I should say or not.

Senba Gari (darkened): Hehehehehehe~ So that's how it is~ (pulls out a card)

〖Vehicle armour appear〗

〖armed〗

〖Divine Garuda〗

Divine (darkened): Hehehehehe~ (sharpening his blade toward Weather)

Fear -- exclusive to Weather!

Weather (desperate): Wizard, I need you!

Wizard (looking up at the sky): Good luck.

Weather: Please! I'm in despair here, okay?! Aren't you supposed to be my hope?!

Divine (darkened): Enough talk~ prepare to die~ hehehehe~

Weather (sincere): ...If I said those were just UR cards I pulled, would you believe me?

Divine (darkened): ...Do you think I would believe you, you African-tier luck player?

Weather: ...Fair point... Help meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Divine (darkened): Prepare to die!!

Silver Phantom: Ahem, that's right, it's me again, this time we successfully caused another accident, and the New Year's side story ends here, I feel a bit reluctant to let it go, but it's okay, maybe we will meet again next time, so finally, Phantom wishes everyone academic success! May you be full of luck every day!

New Year's Eve Side Story -- Five Years Later

"Ugh~ hah-- I'm back!"

At the airport, the orange-haired girl, whose hair was almost waist-length, didn't care at all about the strange looks from the people around her due to her current odd behavior. Having spent a year abroad, the familiar air of her hometown couldn't help but lift her spirits. Suddenly, a slender palm landed vertically on the girl's head.

"Ugh-woo~!"

Feeling the pain from her head, the girl couldn't help but let out a cute sound.

"Honestly, Honoka, don't shout so loudly in public, people will look at you with strange eyes." The tall, blue-haired girl Umi lectured Honoka as usual.

"Hehe~ still the same as before~" Kotori watched them with a smile.

They used to be just as rowdy and bickering as they were now, and even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were still the same. Of course, besides the passage of time, everyone had gradually become more beautiful, and they all had their own things to do.

Eli and Nozomi were employed at a large company in Tokyo, and their positions were said to be quite high. Nico had truly become an idol and was now touring everywhere. Maki was studying medicine overseas, while Hanayo and Rin were attending university in Tokyo; although they were at different schools, the two of them were still together often. Kotori was studying fashion design in France. Honoka, having gone through someone's cruel training before the exams, miraculously got into the same university in New York as Umi. It must be said that the nine of them being able to achieve what they have today is, in a sense, thanks to him.

I wonder, what is he doing now?

--Kamen Rider!〗

Pure white energy, accompanied by the colorful totems symbolizing each Kamen Rider, was injected into the 〖White Phoenix Falcon-Crossbow〗 on Divine's right arm.

After the energy was injected, in the blink of an eye, a circular white magic circle appeared out of thin air. The moment Divine released the string, the pure white magic circle was shattered by an invisible shockwave, turning into countless pure white arrows that poured down like meteors toward the dense swarm of unknown monsters below.

--Boom!!!!

A massive explosion of fire soared into the sky, and the wind stirred up by the blast made the cape behind Divine flutter wildly.

However, he did not notice that behind him, a figure flickering with an eerie red light was quietly lurking.

〖Flame Bullet—Incinerate〗

--Bang!

A bullet composed of flames pierced through the figure, and the crimson fire instantly incinerated the monster, leaving not even a speck of ash behind.

"Try paying attention to your back once in a while, you idiot Gari."

Behind him, Spirit holstered his gun into the holster on his right thigh.

"Isn't that what you're here for? Besides, we haven't fought in years." Disengaging the armor manifesting on his body, Senba Gari adjusted his glasses slightly while reaching out to rub the scorched marks left behind by the monster Spirit had just taken out. "Strange... I thought all the Mlortha had been wiped out, and besides, this doesn't look like a Mlortha either."

"Sigh, just when we finally got some peace, it's about to be ruined by these inexplicable monsters again." Takai Geki, who had also disengaged his transformation, looked at the messy traces below with a headache; this was all thanks to someone's handiwork.

"Regardless, we have to get to the bottom of this. There are only a few days left until the New Year, and I hope nothing goes wrong before then." Senba Gari stood up and said.

"Ah, speaking of which, that kid Kashu and Anju seem to be coming back from their honeymoon soon," Takai Geki suddenly mentioned as they walked out side by side.

"Yeah, they said they expected to be back before the New Year, though I don't know the exact date."

"I see. Man, I really envy that couple. They got married just a few days ago and immediately went on a world tour. I don't know if they're just rich or if those newlyweds are just really good at enjoying life..."

"Pfft... you're just jealous, aren't you? Jealous that the young couple is living a happier newlywed life than you~"

"Tch! You're the last person I want to hear that from, you eternal bachelor."

"By the way, how many months has it been?" Senba Gari looked at his friend beside him with a sly glint in his eyes, teasing him.

"Cough, cough... uh, this... two... two months." Takai Geki said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Come to think of it, those three boys who only knew how to cause trouble back then had now each settled down and started their own lives. Less than a year after the great battle, he and Kira Tsubasa had gotten married, quit their thankless jobs as Interpol agents, and taken over the family business. Their married life was loving and sweet, and they even had a little bundle of joy on the way recently—this was what one would call a fulfilling life.

Then there was last year, when Kashu and Anju finally got married. Even though the newlyweds had only just tied the knot, they left for a world tour the very next day. Judging by the photos they sent occasionally, the two were still very sweet and happy.

As for Senba Gari himself, since the people who used to sponge off him at home had all moved out to start their own families, it was now just him, Silver Phantom, and Ziying. It was a bit less lively, but he had quit his teaching job at Otonokizaka and opened his own dessert shop, which was doing a booming business. However, unlike Kashu and Takai Geki, he was still single. As for the reason, only he himself knew...

--Hum--Bang

Not long after the two left, a thick leg appeared out of thin air, only to vanish quietly a moment later. The shattered ground signaled the arrival of a crisis...

Eli: "Giggle~ Everyone really thought that back then, didn't they?"

Rin: "Yeah, yeah, nya."

Nozomi: "But to think he would actually make that expression back then, it looks so funny."

Hanamaru: "Hahaha, it's really so much fun."

Maki: "Look at Nico's hair, it looks like a mustache on his face, pfft!"

Nico: "Wuu wuu, that's only because it was too crowded back then!"

Umi: "But he did resign right after he finished teaching your grade, Maki."

Honoka: "And he opened such a great dessert shop... Nom, wuu wuu... delicious~!"

Kotori: "Yeah, Mom was complaining back then that even though he was an adult, he was still so willful."

〖Here, please have some tea~〗

〖Beep beep~ snacks~ beep!〗

Silver Phantom and Ziying skillfully placed the prepared tea and snacks in front of the girls, who were looking through memories in a photo album together.

"Honestly, I'm starting to consider whether I should find a few people to work at my shop. Working alone is really tiring, especially since Arisa started university." While shopping for ingredients for tonight's big meal with Takai Geki at the supermarket, Senba Gari suddenly brought it up.

After Eli fully entered the workforce, her busy schedule left her with no extra energy to take care of her younger sister, so Arisa had been temporarily under Senba Gari's care. During her stay, Arisa would also act as a waitress at his shop, which made Senba Gari's work much easier. Of course, he still paid her a salary.

"Oh? What? Feeling lonely?" Takai Geki teased.

"Ha... those two money-drains at home, if I could, I'd really want them to come out and help, but I'm afraid my shop would get raided by the police again..." Speaking of this, Senba Gari couldn't help but recall when he had just opened the shop, and a certain wild idol (Nico: Achoo~!) came to support him, and as a result...

Heh, because a crowd blocked his shop entrance, it caused a traffic jam, which led to the police coming to investigate...

"You can't blame me for that time, I had already disguised myself so well." Twirling her soft, black, flowing hair that had already been let down, Nico pouted and muttered.

Rin: "With that disguise of yours, Nico-chan, you couldn't fool anyone, nya!"

Nozomi: "That's true, and speaking of disguises, someone's (Gari: So cold...) disguise was truly indistinguishable from the real thing~ Pfft... giggle~"

Kotori: "Ah, that's right, I remember I still have that outfit, hahahaha."

Umi: "Ah, speaking of which, I think I still have the photos from that time."

Honoka: "Wow! I didn't think you were like that, Umi!"

Umi: "Wh-what! Wasn't that sent to us by you, Honoka!"

Eli: "Hey, should we—when he gets back?"

Hanamaru: "This... is that okay?"

Maki: "This could work."

Kotori: "Ah, speaking of which, Mom and the others are coming over in a bit too~"

"Hehehehehehe~" ×9

{...Master... don't worry, I'll make sure to call every guest you asked for!}

"...Why do I feel so cold?"

"Hahahaha, you really had it rough back then."

The two walked along the dimly lit street, laughing and chatting, but the eerie thing was that there wasn't a single soul in sight...

"It's been a long time since I've walked down such a quiet street."

"The last time we walked here was five years ago."

"Are you ready?"

"Of course!"

"3, 2..."

[ROAR--!]

Nico: "Hey, since we're waiting anyway, why don't we go to karaoke? Let's see if you guys have gotten rusty over the last five years."

Honoka: "Sure, why not!"

Arisa: "Big sister, you guys should sing this song!"

Eli: "This one? I remember Honoka had a really hard time with this song back in the day."

Honoka: "Eli, you've been picking up bad habits from Nozomi!"

Nozomi: "So, are you singing or not? The intro is almost over."

Honoka: "Need you ask? Of course we're—"

"Singing!"

Gari: "1!"
