Game Area

"Where is this…?"

"Game Area…?"

"We were in a church a while ago. Why…"

"All around us are ruins…"

The four of them muttered.

They have been in the basement of the church a while ago, but now they were in a place with a lot of abandoned buildings, with an atmosphere just like the Racoon City in Resident Evil, according to Toma's knowledge from his previous life.

"Khukhukhu… you don't seem to understand what's happening here…"

"My magic will get rid of you all."

"Genm… and Aranbura Bugster…" Toma said as he looked at their enemy.

"Welcome to the world of Dangerous Zombie… enjoy this game of despair!"

At Genm's speech, an army of Bugster Viruses appeared, wearing tattered clothes and moving like zombies charged at them.

Meanwhile

On the above floor, Brave, Lazer, and Zangetsu Shin were fighting Para-DX, who had regained her bearings.

"Now I get it, you're trying to kill those devils, or more accurately, those two devils who seemed to be the closest to the nun, and thereby increase the nun's stress to make Aranbura perfect, isn't it?"

"That's right, Lazer, the four of them are getting stomped by Genm right now, so in a few moments, the sister will be gone and Aranbura will be perfect!"

Para-DX kicked at Lazer, while Brave charged at her with his Drago Knight Blade.

"I won't let that happen! I'll save the patient's life!"

"Hmph, bullshit!"

Muscle up!

"HA!"

"AAAAGH!"

Para-DX picked up an energy item, delivered an enhanced punch to Brave's face, and thanks to that, Brave's transformation was canceled.

"Why would you want to help a stranger like that? Oh, I get it, she's cute, so you want to include her in your harem too?"

At first glance, Para-DX sounded as if she was mocking him, but inwardly, she was reminiscing bitterly. She remembered her abominable past when she had been targeted by many reincarnators and devils just because of her appearance after she had been reborn in this world, and she remembered her current self, the day she had decided to eradicate the devils and reincarnators from this world and create the world for the Bugsters.

'That's right… I know that both Brave and Toma are reincarnators… after all, the reincarnators are…' Para-DX thought.

"Why am I want to help? …Huh, what a stupid question… it's because I'm a doctor!"

"Huh?"

"Harem? Cute girls? …Feh, don't make me laugh… I'm not fighting for such cheap reasons." Hiiro spat. "I'm saving her because she's a patient suffering from a game disease and needs my help!"

"Prodigy…" Kiriya muttered.

"It doesn't matter who am I dealing with… risking one's life to save a patient who's suffering in front of them and needs help… that's… that's what a doctor do! And…"

He took out the Taddle Legacy Gashat.

"Anyone who tramples on my patient's life… or their desire to life… whether it's devil… fallen angel… Bugster… or even a god! I don't care who it is, I will not forgive them! I will slay them… even if I have to die!"

'This man… other reincarnators have only used their power for their desires… but this is the first time I've seen… a reincarnator that genuinely wants to protect life… I've never seen anything like that before…' Para-DX thought as he listened to Hiiro's words and stared at his eyes, full of determination.

"…Alright, then bring it on… I want to see it with my own eyes…"

"…You bet I am!" Hiiro exclaimed, and tried to activate the Gashat.

However…

"Wait, Prodigy…"

"Examiner?"

"I get how you feel… but this is not the place for you to die just yet." Lazer said, standing in front of Hiiro. "The two of them can handle Graphite for now… leave Para-DX to me, okay?"

"What? But Examiner! With your level…"

"Don't worry, I've got at least one trump card, just like your Level 100 Gashat!"

Lazer then took out the Bakusou Bike Gashat. However, Hiiro was surprised when he saw the Gashat, because…

"What do you mean… why is another Bakusou Bike Gashat!?"

"This is my trump card, I didn't really want to use it yet, and there's one more thing."

"That's… Proto Gashat! Why are you doing this!?"

Lazer then took out the Proto Jet Combat and Proto Shakariki Sports Gashats.

"I borrowed it from the boss earlier, he said if he can't go, at least he will lend the Proto-Gashat." Lazer explained. "Well then, let's get right into it."

BAKUSOU BIKE! SHAKARIKI SPORTS!

"Gear Blast, henshin!"

Gashat! Gachan! Level Up! Bakusou dokusou gekisou bousou! Bakusou Bike! A Gacha! Shakariki! Mechakogi! Hot! Hot! Shaka! Shaka! Kogi! Kogi! Shakariki Sports!

Lazer's appearance changed to that of a differently-colored Shakariki Sports Gamer.

"Kamen Rider Lazer Turbo, pleased to meet ya!"

He then threw the wheel at Para-DX, and while she was stunned, he charged in and grabbed her arm.

"Don't get in my way!"

Para-DX's levels began to drop one by one.

"Lazer Turbo is Level 0, which means I can suppress the virus, which means your level will only go down if you keep this up!"

"You little!"

Para-DX then threw a kick, but Lazer Turbo jumped to avoid it.

"Level 35… that's a lot less…"

"There's more to come! President! I need help!"

"Understood!"

Then, he turned to face Hiiro again.

"Prodigy! I and President Takatora will stop her! You have a mission, right! Save the patient!"

"Alright, good luck!"

TADDLE QUEST! DRAGO KNIGHT HUNTER! Z! Gashat! Level Up! Taddle Quest~! A Gacha! Do-Do-Drago! Na-Na-Na-Knight! Dra-! Dra-! Drago Knight Hunter! Z!

Hiiro transformed into Brave Level 5 again and descended into the underground ritual hall.

Meanwhile

"HYAH!"

"Fly…"

"No way!"

"UOOOOOOHH!"

In the Game Area, Kiba, Koneko, Garagaranda, and Issei were fighting against the zombie-like Bugster Viruses.

"Go! Shocker!"

"""EEEEE!"""

Garagaranda summoned 20 Shocker Combatmen to fight.

"HALT!" Aranbura shouted, and a magic circle appeared right underneath the four of them and the Shocker Combatmen, making it impossible for them to move.

"SHOCK!"

""""AAAAAAAAAH!""""

"EEEEEEE!"

They were blown away by the lightning attack from above, while the Shocker Combatmen disintegrated. And when they began to collapse…

JA-KIN!

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! DIE!"

Genm charged with the Gashacon Breaker.

"Uh, oh!"

"Go away…"

Kiba and Koneko tried to attack Genm. However…

"No use!"

"Uaagh!"

"Aaaaah!"

Genm caught Kiba's sword and Koneko's fist as they tried to hit him, and kicked both of them away.

"The heck! Even though he and Eito-kun looked alike…"

"Too strong…"

"BWAHAHAHAHA! That degenerate Ex-Aid is no match for me!"

The Bugster Viruses around them swarmed them both and grabbed their limbs, blocking their movements.

"Koneko-chan! Kiba!"

"I won't let it!"

Issei and Garagaranda charged at Genm.

"I told you it's useless!"

"GAAAAAAAAHH!"

"SHIT!"

The two of them were struck back, and from there, Genm attacked them one-sidedly.

"BUAGH—"

"UUGH…"

The two of them were half killed.

"Issei-kun!"

"Toma-senpai!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! it's not quite enough for a test run, but fine!"

As he spoke, the scenery changed back to the ritual site they have just seen.

"Issei! Toma!" Asia screamed.

"A few more moments and you'll be gone…"

And then Genm grabbed Issei and the untransformed Toma by the head and threw them in front of Asia.

"Aranbura, we're almost there. Kill those two right in front of the sister."

"Understood!"

With that, Aranbura pointed his stick at the two.

"Wait! Stop! If you kill these two, Asia will also die, right!? Stop it! Don't ruin my plan!"

"Hmph, shut up, kill them!"

Refusing Raynare's plea, Genm gave the order.

At that moment…

"Wait!"

"Huh!? Brave!? How did you get here!?"

"Commencing Bugster removal operation!"

He then attacked Genm and Aranbura with the Drago Knight Gun, and while they were still there, he slashed Aranbura with his Drago Knight Blade.

"Damn, you, HALT!" Aranbura tried to use his magic.

"Ha!"

Brave jumped out of the magic circle under his feet, evaded the attack, and immediately decked Aranbura with the Drago Knight Gun.

"Don't forget me!" Genm joined in.

"Of course I haven't forgotten!"

He blocked the attack with the Blade.

"Amazing… that Brave fellow… he's a top-notch swordsman…"

"…This feeling… I knew it."

Kiba and Koneko, still bound by the Bugster Viruses, muttered as they watched the fight taking place in front of them.

"A…sia…"

And then Issei, who had been half killed and passed out, woke up and saw Brave struggling alone against Genm and Aranbura, who is completely outmatched him.

"I… why am I so weak…?" He muttered. "No way… I can still fight… I'll… I'll… PROTECT ASIA!"

The moment Issei screamed, his Sacred Gear changed with light.

"W-what the hell is that Sacred Gear!? Is it really Boosted Gear!?" Raynare exclaimed after seeing Issei's Sacred Gear.

"That's the Red Dragon Emperor's Boosted Gear! One of the Longinus Sacred Gears that can surpass even the gods of this world!"

"WHY!? Why would such a thing be in a child's hands!?" Raynare yelled following Genm's explanation.

"Give my power to him, to that knight…"

"What was that voice!? I don't know what it is, but alright, I'll do it!"

BOOST! BOOST!

"LET'S GOOOO!"

TRANSFER!

Issei shouted and fired the energy at Brave.

"This… will do…" Issei muttered before collapsed. Brave, on the other hand, was hit by the mass of energy released by Issei.

"What's this!? What is this power!? Well then!"

Gashat! Kimewaza! DRAGO KNIGHT CRITICAL STRIKE!

"HAAAAAAA! HYAAAH!"

And then, Brave unleashed a slash that was twice as powerful as usual, closing in on Genm and Aranbura.

"Tsk!"

"H-hey, what are you doing!? GAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

Genm used Aranbura as a shield to defend against the attack, while Aranbura, which took a direct hit from Brave's attack, exploded.

"Failure, huh…" Genm muttered and withdrew.

"My head… doesn't hurt anymore…"

"Surgery complete…" Brave muttered and removed the chains that bound Asia.

She then rushed to Issei and Toma, and treated their wounds with Twilight Healing.

"Issei! Toma!"

"Asia…"

"Asia, how's your game disease?"

"I'm fine, I'm all healed up." Asia said.

Then they looked at Brave behind her.

"Thank you for treating Asia."

"No need to thank me, it's my job as a doctor… but what are you going to do now, Sister?"

"I… want to stay with Issei and Toma."

"Are you saying you're going to become a devil?"

"No, I don't think I'll do that… but…"

"Hmph, I healed the game disease, the rest is yours to do with as you please…" Brave grunted and was about to leave.

"Um…"

"What?"

Koneko stopped Brave. She then approached him and whispered in his ear.

"Are you really Hiiro-sensei?"

Brave didn't say anything in return and left the hall.

Meanwhile

Upstairs

"This feeling… shit! Aranbura's been killed… Kamen Riders, you win this time."

"What, I am disappointed…"

When Graphite and Para-DX felt that Aranbura was hit, they turned into particles and withdrew from the place.

"They're got away…"

"It seems…"

"Damn… they escaped again…"

"But this battle is a bit of a mess."

Takatora, Kiriya, Nico, and Mitsuzane muttered. And then…

"The operation is complete." Hiiro said to everyone.

"I see, way to go, Prodigy."

"Hm, that's right. Everyone, don't stay long, we have to leave."

Everyone immediately left the church. Afterwards, Issei and the others safely retrieved Asia and met up with Rias and the others. Rias offered Asia if she wanted to become a devil, but she said to let her think about it and put it on hold.

Abandoned building

"Shit! Aranbura was killed…"

"Yeah, well, I had fun, this fight."

Graphite and Saki sat down on the couch.

"There's something you two should know." Genm said to Saki and Graphite.

"What, Genm? What do you want me to know?"

"Actually, the enemy will get stronger and stronger in the future, especially after Saki's use of Level 50 Gashat in this fight, Masamune Zaizen will create a new Gashat to counter it as soon as possible."

"Wow, that's great, this is so exciting."

"Me too! The warrior's blood within me longed for a worthy opponent!"

Both Saki and Genm perked up at that. However…

"You can think that all you want, but try not to lose. That's why I've brought back the three commanders to strengthen our faction."

"What?"

"No way! You brought them back, Genm!?" Saki frowned.

Actually, the Bugsters is consisted of eight members, including the leader, Genm, and seven commanders, including Saki and Graphite. However, Saki and Graphite were not amused by the remaining five, which is why their mood soured when they heard that Genm had called three of them back.

Meanwhile

"Why… this is happening…"

Raynare, who had escaped from the abandoned church with her life, was walking through the residential areas of Kuoh in a white dress, the same outfit she had worn on her fake date with Issei, avoiding the public eye. But she had nowhere to go, her plan had failed, her underlings killed, and she was wondering what to do now.

And then…

"Rain…" Raynare muttered as the droplets began to fall.

"Are you okay?" A man wearing a hat and a stylish outfit held up an umbrella and asked Raynare.

"Uh… um…"

"Ah, sorry… but you looked so sad that I just…"

"Is that so…"

She thought to herself, 'What's with this flirtatious guy?' But she decided to take advantage of the man somehow, so she put on her disguise and spoke.

"Huh? Your hair is a little messy… I can fix it for you if you want."

"Eh, but…"

"Don't worry, I'm a hairdresser by trade, so don't be shy."

"Alright, I'm Yuuma Amano, and you are?"

Raynare had nowhere else to go, so she decided to follow the man and asked for his name, using an alias.

The man replied…
