"By the way, Juggler, how do you know about Kamen Rider? Shouldn't you have no intersection with that world?"

After Lan Kai answered subconsciously, he suddenly realized what he had said and hurriedly asked.

In Lan Kai's impression, unlike Kurenai Gai, who used the same name as a villain in Kamen Rider Den-O, or Fujimiya Hiroya, who participated in the Rider War under a different name in Kamen Rider Ryuki, Juggler and Kamen Rider shouldn't have such a strong connection.

Although Lan Kai vaguely remembered that Juggler seemed to have made a cameo appearance in Kamen Rider Drive, he seemed to be just a passerby, right?

And it shouldn't have been the episode where Drive transformed in public...

Juggler didn't answer, but his face seemed to darken a few shades.

Because Lan Kai's memory wasn't wrong, and Juggler was indeed a villain in the Drive world, though he only survived for one episode before being arrested in public.

Moreover, his reason for causing trouble was quite bizarre.

Because you helped me, you look down on me, so I must kill you.

Na'er shivered and leaned closer to Lan Kai.

"Brother, take care!"

Question marks appeared on Lan Kai's head again, as he couldn't quite understand what Na'er meant.

But when he was beaten up by Juggler that night, he understood what Na'er meant.

"Damn it, Juggler, you're incriminating yourself!

"It seems your cameo in the Kamen Rider set must have had some major issues!"

Lan Kai gritted his teeth, struggled to climb up, and looking at the evil smile on Juggler's face, his heart was filled with unwillingness.

Three years passed quickly, and Lan Kai was now nine years old.

Right now, he was on a desolate beach with no one around for ten miles, solemnly taking out his Martial Soul, the Orb Ring, preparing to make another attempt.

Juggler held Na'er's hand, leaning against a protruding rock with a complex expression; the terrain here always made him think of a certain "King of Posing" who would part the sea when transforming.

Moreover, that guy actually stood there with his arms crossed while he was fighting!

Although this was something Juggler himself had requested, even the King of Posing had never seen such a miraculous request.

Lan Kai took a deep breath, raised the Orb Ring in his hand, crossed his arms in front of him, then elbowed backward with his free hand while thrusting the hand holding the Orb Ring forward with force.

The next moment, as a burst of light appeared, Lan Kai was stunned to find that he had appeared in a mysterious space.

The background of the space was the vast universe, appearing as if it were endless.

However, Lan Kai didn't stop to admire the scenery, instead decisively taking out a card.

"Ultraman!"

"Ultraman"

As Lan Kai inserted the card into the ring, the figure of Ultraman appeared beside him.

"Tiga!"

"Ultraman Tiga"

Lan Kai inserted another card into the Orb Ring, and the card turned into light, condensing into the image of Ultraman Tiga on his other side.

"Lend me your power of light!"

Lan Kai shouted while raising the Orb Ring in his hand.

"Fusion Up!

"Ultraman Orb Specium Zeperion Form"

As the two Ultraman figures turned into light again and fused with Lan Kai, an Ultraman Orb, completely different from his initial form, appeared in the real world at Lan Kai's location.

"Can you finally transform successfully?"

Seeing that Lan Kai could finally transform into Specium Zeperion Form, a smile appeared on Juggler's face again.

He let go of Na'er's hand, drew his Snake Heart Sword, and walked in front of Lan Kai.

The next moment, with a flash of dark power, Juggler also transformed into the appearance of a Sharp-Horned Alien.

"Let me see just how much power you've mastered in this form!"

The Sharp-Horned Alien said this and charged toward Lan Kai.

Lan Kai immediately parried, while trying to mobilize the power of Ultraman Tiga Power Type to gain a slight advantage in close combat.

But after a few direct confrontations, the Sharp-Horned Alien disappeared instantly.

"Brother, behind you!"

When the Sharp-Horned Alien appeared again, Na'er shouted hurriedly, but she was a beat too late.

Lan Kai was slashed hard from behind by the Sharp-Horned Alien, staggering forward several steps.

The next moment, the Sharp-Horned Alien disappeared again, and Lan Kai simply gave up on further perception.

At his current stage, he naturally couldn't compare to those cheaters and seniors in terms of sensory ability, but he had his own way of dealing with it.

That was it: since the Sharp-Horned Alien would appear in his blind spot, he would simply launch an attack directly at that location!

Soon, when the Sharp-Horned Alien appeared again, Lan Kai immediately turned around and unleashed a Specium Ray.

Although the power was not great, it still forced Juggler back several steps.

However, just as Lan Kai prepared to pursue, the light on his chest suddenly flashed red and emitted a warning sound.

Lan Kai stumbled as a result, nearly losing his footing.

Juggler reverted from his Sharp-Horned Alien form and struck Lan Kai's shoulder with the back of his blade once more, forcing him to drop his transformation.

"Not bad, you can even use light beams now, but your strength is still too weak to sustain you through a long battle."

"Of course, if the weather were better, you might be able to hold out a little longer, but both your power and your heart still need to grow."

Juggler supported the weak-legged Lan Kai with one hand while handing him a bottle of sports drink.

Na'er also hurried over, took out a handkerchief, and helped wipe the cold sweat from Lan Kai's forehead.

However, her expression now held a hint of complexity.

Because the memories she had once voluntarily sealed were now completely unlocked, and she needed to make a choice.

Should she continue to stay by their side to pursue Lan Kai's light power and Juggler's dark power, or follow the original plan, leave them, and go search for the human who might possess the power of the Golden Dragon King?

Soon, as the three of them sat together on a flat, clean rock, admiring the rare view of the sunset, Na'er finally made up her mind and asked:

"Brother, if one day I leave, will you miss me?"

So this day has finally come...

Lan Kai thought to himself, but his expression remained unchanged.

Three years ago, when Juggler had beaten a group of ferocious beasts with the back of his blade, he had established the Three-Year Promise, and now that the Three-Year Promise had arrived, it was indeed time for Na'er to potentially leave.

"Of course I will... But, Na'er, have you remembered your family? That is truly wonderful."
