Love Live and Kamen Rider

Oh yeah!

--Bang!

The moment Senba Gari gave the order, Takai Geki spun around and instantly raised the Sky Dome Gun-Cannon in his hand, a silver bullet flying out from the muzzle.

Oh yeah!

--Clang!

The bullet struck the monster behind them—a steel behemoth covered in twisted patterns, its four limbs crouched on the ground, its face hideous, and the single horn on its head looking exceptionally sharp.

Oh yeah!

[ROAR!]

The beast's roar acted like the signal from a starting pistol; Senba Gari and Takai Geki quickly buckled their belts around their waists, looking just as they had five years ago...

One-in, one-Jump!

"Henshin!" ×2

...Look, you won't lose, right?

"Honestly, this look always feels so familiar to me."

〖Earth Bullet--Flying Stone〗

--Bang bang bang bang bang...!

Spirit was the first to raise the Sky Dome Gun-Cannon, brown energy bullets pouring out like raindrops; though tiny, they were dense.

"Who knows."

On the other side, Divine pushed off with his legs, launching himself like a cannonball while his right hand brushed across the dial on the right side of his belt, causing it to spin rapidly.

...Tense, No brand (Do you know?)

[--ROAR!]

Annoyed by the dense rain of bullets, the behemoth roared in anger, failing to notice a flash of white streak past its face.

〖FAIZ, KABUTO, OOO, DRIVE, GHOST--

--Kamen Rider!〗

Amidst the beast's heavy, chaotic footsteps, Divine moved like a phantom, nimbly dodging its stomps.

〖Wood Bullet--Entangle〗

〖RYUKI, BLADE, DECADE

--Kamen Rider!〗

The green bullets fired by Spirit landed at the beast's feet, and vines made of crystalline green energy coiled around its four limbs.

At the same time, a row of light-based cards suddenly appeared in front of Divine, arranged in a line. Divine charged directly through the cards, his speed increasing with each layer he passed. The White Phoenix Falcon--Sword Form on his right arm emitted a faint white glow, slicing through the beast's limbs with ease.

...(Hold on) I won't let go

With a powerful leap, Divine jumped directly onto the top of the beast's head, facing downward while his right hand slapped the spinning dial on the right side of his belt.

Immediately after, the White Phoenix Falcon on his right arm switched its form to Fist Form.

Crowd: (Oh yeah!) Crossing the rainbow of miracles

〖RYUKI, FAIZ, HIBIKI, KIVA, OOO, GHOST, EX-AID, BUILD--

--Kamen Rider!〗

The White Phoenix Falcon--Fist Form on his right arm was tightly enveloped in scorching flames, the fire burning and rubbing against the surrounding air as if a dragon's roar echoed through it.

As the beast felt a wave of intense heat above its head and instinctively looked up, all it saw was a flaming gauntlet.

--BOOM!

[--ROAR!]

The beast let out a cry of agony, but before it could fully recover, Spirit made his next move.

〖--Gold--Wood--Water--Fire--Earth--

Load!

Release!〗

Raising the Sky Dome Gun-Cannon, five-colored light gradually condensed at the muzzle, and the moment Spirit pulled the trigger, a five-colored beam of light poured out instantly.

While still in mid-air, Divine once again struck the dial on the right side of his belt, which had begun to rotate at some unknown moment.

RIDER--

"dream vision!"〗

A flying kick containing the power of the twenty Heisei Riders descended rapidly, and the two surging energies instantly disintegrated the giant beast completely.

--BOOM

Oh yeah

"Phew--! That felt great! A crushing victory!"

"It really was... though, it seemed a bit too easy to defeat, didn't it? Whatever, let's head back. They've probably been waiting for a long time."

Amidst the remnants left behind by the giant beast, a spherical orb silently watched the backs of the two as they departed.

"Ahhh! Nozomi, that grilled meat is mine!"

"Huhu, it's so delicious~"

"Honoka, you can have mine."

"Kotori, stop spoiling her all the time..."

"Big sister, can't you be a bit more mature..."

"Big sister, hurry and try this. It's a pastry I learned to make from brother Gari."

"Wuu wuu wuu... Arisa... you've grown up... it's so delicious... even if I gain ten pounds, I'm going to finish it all!"

"Eli, calm down, meow!"

"Where did this idiot sister even come from!"

"NicoNiconi~"

"Big sister, do we look like you?"

"Yes!"

"...Doesn't someone have no right to say that?"

"Ah wuu wuu~ So happy~"

"Tsubasa, won't you be exhausted doing this?"

〖Madam, here is the spoon.〗

"Ugh... Cangqiong, can you not call me that? It's so embarrassing..."

〖It is impossible to make Cangqiong change his tone of voice.|?ω?`)〗

--Ding-dong

〖Beep beep--!〗

"Ziying, long time no see! Everyone, we're back!"

"Everyone, long time no see~"

"Oh~ so the young couple who went off to travel the world finally decided to come back? How was it? Did you bring an extra person back with you?"

"Tsubasa!"

"My, these children are still as lively as ever."

"Indeed. Come to think of it, the 'bet' we made back then still hasn't been settled."

"Hmm? Where's the boss?"

"Look, he's over there." Holding a cup filled with juice, Takai Geki walked over to Senba Gari, who was sitting alone in the courtyard gazing up at the starry sky.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to sit by myself for a while," Senba Gari said, shaking his head.

"Is that so... five years, huh... we've been living this peaceful life for five years now."

"Yeah. Five years ago, we would still occasionally spar here."

"Heh, back then you always insisted on dragging me out to fight you."

"After all, if I didn't do that, you'd go out and stalk little girls again."

"Hey!"

"Alright, alright, I'm just kidding... but time really does fly." Senba Gari looked up at the night sky, which was adorned with countless stars. "In the blink of an eye, you two got married, and you even have a child on the way..."

"I hope it's a daughter."

"Who asked you about the gender of the child, you lolicon..."

"Tch, you black-hearted freak."

"But... marriage, huh..."

He tilted his head back and downed the juice in his glass in one gulp, gazing thoughtfully at the starry sky.

He didn't know when it started, but he always felt a void in his heart, especially over these past five years...

"Guess whose hands these are~"

Suddenly, a pair of slender hands covered Senba Gari's vision, and a voice, more familiar than any other, rang out from behind him.

"Seriously, stop messing around. Besides, I don't even need to think to know who this is, (muted)."

"The weather is so nice!"

Gari stretched his back in front of his house.

"It's rare to have such a relaxing moment, I think I'll go for a walk. Phantom, watch the house!"

"Understood, master. Bring me the latest model of game when you return, okay?*."

Please provide the text you would like me to translate or revise. I am ready to process it according to your instructions.

Deep in the mountains, a vehicle drove into the remote wilderness.

"The experiment failed again."

"That's a common occurrence by now, but this corpse is quite special. I heard that even though the subject is dead, there is astonishing energy inside. That's why it's being transported here for further research. If we can master it, our conglomerate dominating the Earth will be as easy as a snap of the fingers."
