Chapter 4.

Hi! I'm Takami Chika!

Trouble arises when a group of bad guys went to our peaceful town! I don't have a single clue about what happened until I was saved by a police officer! What's unbelievable is that my senpai, Kurosawa Dia, is actually a hero in a suit! It happened that I was also given the same kind of powers as she had, and now we are ready to face whatever's standing in our way!

Dia and Chika raised their amulets, invoking the powers that were stored in them. As they finished their transformation Chika inspected her suit.

"Wow, Orange! I like the color! What are we going to do next?"

Officer Tohru struggled to get up. "How about quitting the chatter and trying to help me! There's so much damage already, and we can't afford further losses! Move it!"

"But Officer, your bullets didn't harm the bad guys," Chika replied. "In what way are you going to help us?"

Dia marched angrily towards the two. "Will you two stop it, please?! Officer, please stay back, you might've been injured elsewhere! Chika-san, follow me and I'll give you victory!"

Officer Tohru scratched his head as he looked at the two heroes making their way towards the enemy. "I swear I heard that line before… Oh well. Got to stay back and watch the whole darn thing. I've had enough already."

Master Angler watched as Chika and Dia took down more of the grunts. 'That orange-colored Ranger… she's a newbie and I'm sure that she won't last long!' "Take this!" He opened his mouth and sent shots towards Chika.

Chika saw the shots and pointed it out to Dia. "Look! The fish boss is shooting out bubbles! Whee! I'm going to get them!"

Dia called out after her as she kicked a charging grunt. "Chika-san, you idiot! Those are not bubbles; it's his form of attack! Get down before it hits you!"

"Ehh? Boooooo," Chika pouted. "What a waste. They're cute! If only he's not from the enemy side we can recruit him as Aqours' mascot!"

Master Angler stared at Chika in shock as his attack just exploded harmlessly on her back. "W-what is this?! The newbie deflected my attacks?! Take this! And This! And THIIIIIIS!"

More and more shots were fired. Dia, upon witnessing Chika's first ability, mused to herself. I guess it's the power of your idiocy that makes you deflect the enemy's shots. Or your strong will? I dunno, but I gotta admit; you're very good.

Officer Hikari reached Officer Tohru, assessing him from head to toe. "Looks like you've got some wounds, but not that deep. Let me request for an ambulance."

"Hikari… is it just me, or that Orange girl taking all the enemy's shots? I might be hallucinating… Looks like I might pass out soon…"

"Officer, get a grip! Just let them do the job. Our responsibility for now is the civilians who may be caught up in this mess. Sit up, and I'll patch you up as first aid."

Dia, having busted the last grunt, slowly marched towards Master Angler. "This is where it ends, you piece of ugly fish! Surrender now, or I will turn you into sashimi!"

Master Angler laughed until his sides were almost split. "WAHAHAHAHA! A human, demanding for my surrender? HILARIOUS! How about my ace in the sleeve! Here, Kayoborg will make you surrender instead!"

Dia felt the ground rumble as an orange-coloured spherical being rolled its way between her and Master Angler.

"This one is a proven one in the battlefield. Have fun with her!"

Kayoborg, the orange-shaped monster stood for a while. The leaf on its head started spinning like a helicopter's blades.

"Chika-san, where are you? We've got some job to do, and I need your help here!" Dia called.

"I'm here! Just ask me anything and I'll help you out!" Chika responded as she ran towards Dia.

Chika stopped in her tracks as she saw Kayoborg slowly rising from the ground. "Woooow, is it a flying mikan? Mikan! I LOVE MIKAAAAAAAAAN!"

"Chika-san, that's not your average mikan! Get back here, that monster's way above your abilities!"

"But it looks tasty! Let me have a bite of it… wait for me, giant mikan!"

"CHIKA-SAN, NO!"

The orange-coloured, mikan-loving Ranger leapt and hugged Kayoborg. "Woooow, so soft! I bet the local farmers will be envious when they see this one!"

Kayoborg, having held down by Chika, squirmed as they landed on the ground. Master Angler, sensing the imminent disadvantage took Kayoborg back. "Hah, this is a stalemate! Don't assume that you have already won! We'll be back, Rangers!"

Chika continued to grab at the air and started to roll on the ground. Dia, exasperated, grabbed Chika on the collar and dragged her away before the two officers could notice.
