"Shoutarou, I believe this qualifies as 'overkill'..."

Kamen Rider Double laughed. Or at least the left side did. "What are you talking about? This is the most efficient way to do this, isn't it?"

Double's right eye flashed as Philip sighed. He fiddled with the Metal Shaft, which had a piece of wet rug tied to one end of it. The left hand grasped the shaft and thrust it forwards, towards the green wall of the detective agency.

As Double scrubbed away with the Metal Shaft improvised mop at the higher areas of the wall, Akiko returned from the store with an armful of detergents and cleaning equipment. "Tadaima!" Upon seeing the Cyclone Metal Kamen Rider, she dropped her items in shock and her hand crept toward her green slipper.

"What are you doing!?"

Double turned to face the landlord. "We're cleaning for the New Year, what does it look like?" Shoutarou replied like it was the most obvious fact in the world.

"But why as Double? I didn't hear about this!" Akiko gestured to the asymmetrical Rider.

As Double continued to scrub at the wall, Shoutarou said, "It's not part of our routine to clean regularly. Besides, isn't it supposed to be the chief's job? Now, go make yourself useful and wash the HardBoilder."

After a while, Double stepped back and marveled at their job well done. Indeed, the wall was of a much brighter shade of green now. The detective(s) then proceeded to clean the ceiling fan with the Metal Shaft.

Later at the hanger, Akiko was scrubbing away at the grime crusted over the HardBoilder's engine. "The nerve of that half-boiled detective, telling me to wash his filthy motorcycle!"

Speaking of the devil, Double entered the hanger and, turning into Luna Joker, began to clean the RevolGarry. His right arm could reach places which were normally out of reach and in no time at all, the interior of the tank was clean. Of course, in order to wash the hull of the RevolGarry, the 2 sides of it had to be raised, promptly trapping Akiko within the tank.

As Akiko screamed and yelled at Shoutarou, Philip laughed. "This joke never gets old, does it?"

Double's left hand stroked his chin. "Indeed, an improvement to the agency."

After everything was properly scrubbed and cleaned, all they had to do now was to dry everything up, including the puddle of water spilled after Akiko tripped over a pail while throwing a fit inside the RevolGarry.

"Careful, Shoutarou. We could start a fire..."

"Don't worry, we'll just set it to the lowest setting."

As the Heat Trigger Kamen Rider aimed the Trigger Magnum, Akiko ran out of the room and returned with a fire extinguisher. The entire hanger heated up, stacks of paper catching fire. Akiko quickly put the fire out while fanning herself.

"Next time, don't do this again..." With that, Akiko collapsed.
