"Gashat… and you said you are reincarnated…"

"Yes, that's right, Taddle Quest, I died and was reborn, just like you."

"…"

When Hiiro heard Masamune's words, he grabbed the Taddle Quest Gashat in his pocket and took cautionary measures to avoid detection.

"Why did you call me?"

"Before I answer that, Taddle Quest, how did you get the reincarnation gifts?"

"Huh? How did you—"

"You have two choices, choose it yourself, or draw lots, which is it?"

"…I chose myself, well, the Gashat and the Gamer Driver were randomly chosen by the goddess."

Hiiro told Masamune. "I see… it's a relief to know that you're the same kind as me."

"The female deity… so that's the deity who reincarnated you…"

"In my past life, I was a game programmer for a major game company, but one day I got so absorbed in developing a new game that I didn't eat, drink or sleep for four days and died of exhaustion upon completion… I chose this Kamen Rider Chronicle Master Gashat and this Bugvisor II as my reincarnation privileges and reincarnated into this world, and six years ago, I founded the Genm Corporation." Masamune said as he showed Hiiro the Bugvisor as well as the Gashat.

"I see…I've already told you about me, now can you tell me about you?"

"…Okay, I'll tell you everything."

"All right, Lovelica, get him and me some tea and cake."

"I understand."

Masamune told Ren to bring tea for Hiiro and himself.

One hour later

"I see, you were a doctor in your past life, you died in a tunnel collapse… and you chose to reincarnate as a doctor because of the medical skills you developed while you were alive…"

"Yes, this Gashat and Gamer Driver were prepared by the Goddess herself for self-defense in order to live in this world. Well, there are many lives saved thanks to this belt, so now I think it's quite a useful thing to have." So Hiiro said as he ate the cake, using knife and fork as usual.

"Okay, but you're also an interesting fellow. Most of the reincarnated people who come to the world of these harem light novels use their powers for stupid things, like being a harem king or being a powerful devil, but I've never seen a reincarnator like you who uses his powers purely to save lives."

"I'm a doctor in my past life and in this world, and as a doctor, I believe that I should use all the power I have to save the lives of my patients and others. And to be honest, I don't know much about light novels or anime, what about you, President Zaizen?"

"I'm not interested in harems or powerful devils either, I'm only interested in one thing, making the ultimate game that is exciting and entertaining that no one has ever played before and making Genm Corporation the one and only game company in the world that no one else can match, that is my dream and my reason for living." Masamune said to Hiiro as he stood up from his seat and looked out the window behind the president's seat.

"It's a good dream, to be honest I'm not interested in games, but I think it's great that you take pride in your work."

"Yeah, well, that's why I can't stand the supernatural beings that threaten the lives of the customers who play our games."

"Is that why you back CR?"

"That's part of it, but the main reason is this."

Masamune then removed a painting from the room and took out a case from the hidden safe behind it and showed the contents to Hiiro.

"What is this?"

It was a large number of black Gashats.

"These are Proto Gashats, the first Gashats I created when I came to this world, the Gashats that caused Zero Day and created the Bugster Virus, the source of everything."

"What did you say!? You caused Zero Day, what do you mean!?"

Hiiro was shocked when he learned that it was these Gashats that caused Zero Day, when so many people disappeared, and created the Bugster virus in this world.

"Two years ago, a reincarnator robbed our company of these Gashats for whatever ridiculous reason. At the time, I was aware of the potential and danger of the Proto Gashats, so I tried to get it back to prevent the fool from stealing it, but the reincarnator was so careless with these Proto Gashats that it spread a large number of Bugster viruses…"

"So the reason you're helping CR is to atone for your own mistakes?"

"Yes, the incident was caused by the Proto Gashats I developed, so I have some responsibility to it."

"Is that so…" Hiiro said and drank the rest of the tea.

"That's why, from now on, Genm Corporation will fully cooperate with you and CR, both technologically and in terms of strength."

"All right… I understand. I look forward to working with you in the future, President Masamune."

"Yes, it's a pleasure to work with you too, Taddle Quest."

Hiiro and Masamune shook hands with each other.

"I've been wondering about one thing, by the way."

"What is it?"

Hiiro had a question for Masamune because he was a little curious about something.

"A few minutes ago, you called Vice President Amagasaki as Lovelica, and she, Asuna Karino, knew a lot about you, so I was curious about that."

"Ooh, so that's how it is, Asuna, no, Poppy, let him see who you really are." Masamune said.

And then.

"Right! Costume change!"

As if her personality suddenly changed, Asuna's appearance changed to pink hair and flashy clothes reminiscent of an anime character.

"What is this?"

"Hee-hee, are you surprised, Hiiro? Asuna Karino is a disguise! The real me is a Bugster born from the DoReMiFa Beat! My name is, Poppy Pipopapo~!"

"Bugster, you say?"

Having heard that all Bugsters are dangerous beings that can harm humanity, Hiiro was puzzled by Poppy's existence.

"Just as each human personality is different, so are the personalities of Bugsters, and some of them, like her, are good Bugsters who want to coexist with humans, and him." Masamune said and looked at Ren.

"Once again, my name is Ren Amagasaki, but that's just a disguise, my real name is Lovelica, and I'm a Bugster in the dating game Tokimeki Crisis."

He then showed Hiiro a picture of himself in his Bugster form.

"I'm not going to say all the time, because we all have jobs and other commitments, but I'll help you and the other CR Kamen Riders as much as I can in battle."

"There are other riders other than me and you?"

"I've already identified one, but there's something I need to do first, and it's actually the reason I called you here today."

He took out two Gashats with the titles "Bakusou Bike" and "Bang Bang Shooting" written on them.

"These are Gashats that can transform into a Kamen Rider, made by the Genm Corporation itself, but these has only the ability to separate the Bugster, not the Evil Piece like your Gashat."

"I see."

Hiiro remembered that the letter from the Goddess that had come with the bonus had said that it was an original version with the ability to separate Evil Pieces.

"I'd like to incorporate the data in your Gashat that allows you to separate the Evil Pieces into these two Gashats."

"I see, that's fine."

Hiiro then took out his own Gashat and handed it to Masamune, selecting the Taddle Quest Gashat from among them.

"Thank you… oh, this is the Taddle Legacy…"

After receiving the Taddle Quest, Masamune showed interest in the other Gashat, the Taddle Legacy.

"Yes, in the letter that the Goddess sent me, it says that the hero has the power of both the hero and the demon king, and that he must save the princess imprisoned in the castle, and that the Level is 100."

"100!?"

"Wow!"

Poppy and Ren were shocked at the high level of 100.

"But the physical strain is too great to use it, the last time I used it I fainted and woke up in a hospital bed."

"Well, no surprise, using a Level 100 Gashat when you've only used the maximum level of three is like feeding a baby steak the next day when it was drinking milk yesterday."

"Of course." Hiiro said.

Masamune returned the Taddle Legacy to Hiiro and began copying the data to separate the Evil Pieces in the Taddle Quest.

30 minutes later

"It's done. Thanks for your help."

"It's all right… as long as it saves more lives."

"Ah, right, this is just a small token of my appreciation."

Masamune handed Hiiro a Gashat with a design that resemble a dragon's head.

"This is?"

"It's a new game from our company, a hunting action game where up to four players use weapons to defeat dragons, the name is Drago Knight Hunter Z, it's Level 5, use it effectively."

"Alright…"

Then Hiiro took the Gashat from Masamune.

Beep, beep, beep

The stethoscope-shaped communication terminal, Game Scope, that Hiiro has, was contacted.

"This is Cyber Rescue Center… we're on our way."

"What happened?"

"A patient at my hospital has developed a game illness, and I'm going back to the hospital."

"All right, I'll go with you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but no thank you, since it's our patient who has the disease, this is our operation and I'll be the primary surgeon."

With that, Hiiro left the president's office.

"Good luck, Dr. Hiiro." Masamune said.

Seito University Hospital

Currently, the rounded giant, Bugster Union, was running rampant there.

"Oh my goodness~! Hiiro! Hurry up and come back!" Haima muttered as he hid in the shadows.

And then…

"I'm back, Father."

"Hiiro! Thank God! I've been waiting for you!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I'll take care of the rest."

Hiiro stood in front of the Bugster Union, attached the Gamer Driver to his waist, and activated the Gashat.

TADDLE QUEST!

"Bugster… you're mine, henshin."

Gashat! Let's game! Metcha game! Mutcha game! What's your name!? I'm a Kamen Rider!

Hiiro inserted the Gashat into his Gamer Driver and transformed into Kamen Rider Brave Level 1.

"Commencing the Bugster separation surgery, Level 1."

Gashacon Sword!

Brave took the Gashacon Sword and began to attack the Bugster Union, who in turn attacked Brave with its huge arms, but he avoided all of them. And while avoiding the attacks, Brave saw an opening and attacked the Bugster Union with the Gashacon Sword, steadily inflicting damage.

"I remember that I have to get the treasure chest."

Brave then destroyed the chest with his sword.

Speed Up!

And out of the treasure chest came a speed-up energy item.

"Speed up, that's good."

And with that, Brave continued to attack the Bugster Union with his sword, moving at a speed far beyond that of normal humans, which even Bugster could not recognize.

"HAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

Brave jumped high and slashed the Bugster Union in half with his Gashacon Sword.

Then…

"Bwahahahaha! A mere Level 1 can't defeat me! You will be salted away!"

With an explosion, the host's body and the Bugster separated, and a large number of Bugster viruses appeared, dressed as the Salty Bugster and cooks, holding pots and pans.

"All right, the separation operation is complete, now then…"

DOREMIFA BEAT!

"Skill Level 3."

Brave then activated the Gashat, set it on the Gamer Driver, and pulled the lever.

Gachan! Level up! Taddle meguru! Taddle meguru! Taddle Quest~! A Gacha! Do-Do-DoReMiFa-So-La-Ti-Do! Ok! DoReMiFa Bea~t~!

Brave transformed into a form reminiscent of a rapper, with speakers on his shoulders, while retaining the remnants of his usual knightly appearance.

"I'm familiar with CPR, let's do this."

Brave then applied the rhythm of heart massage to the music as he attacked the Bugster viruses and then Salty.

"Why you! You can't attack me while listening to music! Are you taunting me!?"

Salty tried to hit Brave with an electrically charged punch, but he avoided it in the rhythm and in return, hits Salty with the Gashacon Sword at the end of the song.

PERFECT!

"Dammit! This… this can't be right…"

After being attacked by Brave while getting into a rhythm over and over again, and his Bugster underlings were almost killed, Salty was reaching his limit.

"This is it."

Brave inserted the DoReMiFa Beat Gashat on the Gashacon Sword to unleash the finisher.

Gashat! Kimewaza! DOREMIFA CRITICAL FINISH!

"HAAAAH, HAH! HAH! HAAH! HYAAAH!"

Brave struck Salty with his sword, which was powered by the power of the DoReMiFa Beat.

Kaishin no Ippatsu!

"AAAAAAAAAAARGHHH!" Salty screamed as he exploded.

GAME CLEAR!

"Operation complete."

With that, Hiiro untransformed and returned to the hospital after completing his first surgery on the Bugster.

However, there was someone who was watching this battle.

On the roof of the Seito University Hospital

"Huh, he's really good, as expected from the Prodigy Doctor."

A man wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a red jacket over it and sunglasses muttered, holding a Bakusou Bike Gashat in his hand.

"Now, with devils, fallen angels, and Bugsters, there's no way to miss out this no-holds-barred race of mixed factions."

A building some distance from the Seito University Hospital

There, a girl of about 18 years old was watching the fight with the scope of a sniper rifle.

"Devils, Bugsters… I'll kill every last one of them."

Somewhere in an abandoned building

In one of the rooms, a girl with long dark blue hair wearing a Kuoh Academy uniform was lying on a sofa, eating snacks and playing a game.

"I'm back, Saki."

A young man appeared in the room.

"Oh, welcome back. How was it, Graphite?"

"Salty's down, damn it!"

"Yeah, well, you can always get more members. There's still time."

"Indeed, but…"

Graphite sat down in a nearby chair.

"Yes, there is still time, and when the time comes, I will destroy everything, devils, fallen angels, and all reincarnators from this world." Saki muttered and crushed the snacks in her hand.

"By the way, Graphite, who did Salty fight?"

"Oh, a Kamen Rider in the form of a cyan knight."

"Knight… Kamen Rider Brave… hmm, interesting revelation."

This world is entering an era of chaos, who will emerge victorious?

The supernatural beings?

The Bugsters?

Or will it be the Kamen Rider…?

No one can predict the outcome of the battle or the ending of this game.

Notes

Masamune Zaizen (24)

In his previous life, he was a programmer for a major game company, but he became so engrossed in creating games that he died of exhaustion and was reincarnated in this world. 6 years ago, he founded Genm Corporation, and over the past six years, he has grown it into one of the world's leading game companies. His dream is to create the ultimate game and turn Genm Corporation into the one and only game company.

His reincarnation privileges include the Kamen Rider Chronicle Gashat, the Bugvisor II, and a complete antibody that allows him to handle them, but for some unknown reason, he has the technology to create the Gashat and the Gamer Driver.
