Author's Note: I finished watching KR OOO, KR Fourze, KR Gaim.
As a KR OOO Fan and a Fate Stay Fan, I can't help but notice several parallels between Eiji Hino and Shirou Emiya.
Maybe one day I'll have to try to write a story where Shirou Emiya becomes Kamen Rider OOO or Shirou Emiya invokes OOO (Eiji Hino) instead of Saber (Artoria Pendragon).
For me Gentaro Kisaragi aka Fourze has become the cutest Kamen Rider I know, practically the Naruto / Luffy / Goku / Natsu of Kamen Rider.
Speaking of Gaim, I started the series with the assumption that the series would be the least favorite due to the fruit-themed Kamen Riders. Slowly I was proved wrong, Gaim became one of my favorite series.
It's no surprise when I found out that Gaim's chief writer is Gen Urobuchi, a person working on Fate / Zero, Puella Magi Madoka Magica
In my opinion, when it comes to plot / story the best are Build, OOO and Gaim.

starwing1995: I like your idea, it could work for a crossover between Kamen Rider and another superhero opera. But I have something different planned.
starwing1995: Thank you kindly for the information, I am looking forward to seeing the next OOO movie.

Episode 2: Witches Before Wizards, Kamen Rider Before Greeed (I)
Chapter 4: Choose your mission, Luz: Deliver Potions or Treasure Hunt?
POV Narrator
The sun has just risen in the sky and the inhabitants of the Owl House are waking up, some more easily than others.
Luz is in her new room, sleeping in her sleeping bag, in her dreams she is reviewing the events that happened yesterday.
'Stop adorably hopping away, you ... Huh?'
'Welcome to ... the Owl House.'
'Henshin!'
'Kamen Rider Build!'
When Luz's dream has reached the part in here the two-tone hero cancels her transformation, revealing a wounded Luka's burden ...
Luz woke up with a start, putting a hand over her heart which beats madly.
'Such a wonderful dream, except for the ending, because Luka has to get hurt so badly to win her fight.' Luz thought, appreciating every single moment of her dream, except for the scenes where her beloved stepbrother ends up getting hurt.
Once Luz's ugly thoughts disappeared when the youngest of the Nocedas started looking around, noticing that she is in a messy room full of all sorts of trinkets.
The reasonable part of Luz's brain began to worry when she woke up in an unfamiliar room with no trace of Luka anywhere.
Thankfully, Luz has noticed the presence of a small fox / dog demon pup who is still sleeping at the end of her sleeping bag.
"It's not a dream!" Luz exclaimed, in a tone full of happiness, unable to believe that her dream of living a magical adventure has come true.
"Good morning, terrifying fantasy world!" Luz shouted, opening the window to see the view in her new home all summer.
Luz's bedroom window faces the cliff near the Owl House, showing the boiling ocean and a huge seven-eyed sea creature.
"Good morning !" The sea creature exclaimed, responding to Luz's greeting, before sinking into the water to go about her business.
'This was unexpected, the neighbor is a huge talking sea monster.' Luz thought, slightly nervous, closing the window and lowering the curtains, preferring not to see a sea monster again that may or may not eat her in the future.
"Good morning, you little cutie ‐ pie!" Luz declared, in a happy tone, waking up the little demon.
Without thinking much, Luz took King in her arms, holding him in a tight hug and repeatedly kisses him on the head / skull.
"I am not your cutie ‐ pie!" King replied, not "appreciating" being pampered and called adorable by Luz.
"Yes, you are!" Luz replied, continuing to believe that King is the most adorable creature ever.
Luz gave King one last tight hug, then put her down on her sleeping bag, going to get dressed and do her usual morning routine.
"I know." King commented, admitting his defeat without too much trouble, preferring to try to fall asleep again.
Grabbing her phone, Luz saw that the clock shows 7:30. Even though school is officially out of school, the habit of waking up early in order not to be late has remained undermined.
XXX
A few minutes later.
Luz is fully clothed and preparing to go to the Owl House bathroom.
The bathroom door is quite normal, a wooden door with the symbol for women on it.
At the bottom of the door, very low about King's height, there is a sticky note decorated with a crown, surely the little demon cub is putting it there.
' Is cute ! King can't reach high places! ' Luz thought, picturing King trying to learn his mark at the top of the door, but unable to because of his short stature.
For a reason known only to Eda, when Luz opened the bathroom door, a small group of owls flew away.
'Eda might take her owl theme too seriously.' Luz thought, staring at the little flying strays that come out of the Owl House through the window.
"Hi, Luz!" He greets Hooty, suddenly stepping into the bathroom, almost causing Luz a little fright.
By pure reflex, Luz threw an Amateur Karate shot straight into Hooty's face.
"Ow! Just wish you a good morning. Jeez! Hoot! OW!" Said Hooty, not too happy to be punched for wanting to be friendly with the new roommates.
"Sorry, Hooty." Luz said, apologizing to the worm / owl creature that technically is the house she lives in here.
After washing her face, Luz looked at the mirror above the sink, grabbing her beloved book by Azura and Hasepanzer.
"This is it, an old girl. Your first day on the hot islands, as a witch's apprentice." Luz said, giving herself a motivational speech, placing the image of Azula close to her face, as if talking to her imaginary idol.
XXX
Leaving the bathroom, Luz returned to her room, wanting to explore the closet she couldn't open last night, being too tired after her adventure at the Conformitorium.
Placing a hand over her eyes, Luz slowly opened the wardrobe, hoping to find something that matches her magical fantasies.
"Please have witchy clothes. Please have witchy clothes. Please have witchy clothes." Luz prayed, in a tone full of energy, as she removes her hands from her eyes.
Luz saw a closet crammed with brooms, tunics, cloaks, pointed hats and cauldrons of all shapes and sizes. Basically a closet full of stereotypical witch stuff that looks like something straight out of a fairy tale or Hogwarts.
" Yes yes yes yes yes!" Luz screamed, hopping on the spot like a rabbit, reaching seventh heaven of happiness.
Luz's day has been going great so far and will probably continue in this direction.
Except in the case where a certain Kamen Rider comes on stage with a Quest for the inhabitants of the Owl House.
XXX
A few minutes later, Luz emerged from her room, dressed like a typical witch, although her tunic and pointy hat look slightly worn.
When Luz has just finished writing on a plaque: "Witch Apprentice Luz"
To then place it over her chest as a badge of honor, Luz clearly is nothing short of thrilled to begin this new chapter of her life.
Luz heard a heavy door being slammed hard, followed by the sound of tired footsteps and the creaking of the stairs.
Putting in front of the stairs like a puppy waiting for its master, Luz eagerly awaits to see the Owl Lady, hoping to assist a mighty witch who starts the day with magical warm-up exercises or something just as fantastic.
In less than a minute, Luz was reminded again that there is a big difference between reality and fantasy, even in a magical world some things are universal.
For example, there are people who wake up with difficulty in the morning, and apparently Eda is one of this type of people.
The Lady is dressed in a purple sweatshirt and a spotted blue skirt, she wore bunny slippers with her ears folded at her feet, the golden gem still firmly set in the center of her chest.
Eda let out a very long, yawn, straightening her slightly hunched back, before starting down the steps.
Eda's slow, almost sleepwalking march ended when she was about to crash into Luz.
"Good morning, Eda the Owl Lady! I'm ready for my first day of apprenticeship as a witch!" He greets Luz, in a tone full of energy and happiness, ignoring the appearance of the half-asleep Witch.
The Owl Lady blinked, letting out a confused grunt, clearly Eda is processing Luz's presence at a very slow pace.
Confused annoyance rippled in her voice as she spoke, the words hit Luz's heart like daggers.
"Who are you, again?" Eda asked, in a voice full of annoyance and confusion, for the moment she doesn't remember anything concerning Luz.
Eda's words of indifference hit Luz straight to the heart, her expression of happiness replaced by sheer horror.
As if the universe wanted to emphasize Luz's expression, Luz's nameplate fell to the ground at that precise moment.
XXX
The Owl Lady, regardless of Luz's wounded heart, went to the kitchen to have a strong drink to fully wake up.
Luz chased Eda into the kitchen, hoping Eda was playing a nasty welcome joke.
"Do you remember me? Luz?" Luz asked, in a worried tone, hoping that hearing her name would remind Eda of something.
The Owl Lady didn't answer Luz's question, preferring to draw a magic circle to get her favorite soda she craves every morning in seconds.
"We liberated the oppressed and Luka defeated the evil guardian? Yesterday?" Luz said, in a slightly desperate tone, wishing Luks was around, her antisocial stepbrother is better at convincing people or at least her transformation into Kamen Rider Build could restore Eda's memory.
Because no one could forget the tokusatsu-style transformation of a masked superhero.
"Kid, lay off the details. I haven't even had my cup of apple blood yet." Eda said, turning to Luz, with an annoyed expression.
Regardless of his rough demeanor that slightly hurts Luz's little heart.
The Owl Lady took a long sip of her crimson drink, as if she were a vampire tasting blood after centuries of abstinence.
"You mean apple juice?" Luz asked, in a hesitant tone, hoping her constant questions won't spark Eda's anger.
"No." Eda replied, not wanting to go into details on the flora / fauna of the Boiling Isles, where apples are plant monsters that must be killed or bled to eat them.
Luz stood like a deer in front of the headlights of a car.
While Eda takes a seat at the kitchen table, continuing to drink from her cup.
In the background, King has sat down in a high chair and sticks a fork into a yellow spot with his eyes sitting on a plate.
"Maybe this can restore the memory, Criminal Witch!" A certain boy declared, walking into the kitchen of the Owl House, carrying a new combat gadget in his hands.
BANG!
An energy bullet was fired and Eda's cup was smashed into a thousand pieces.
Luz turns to see Luka leaning his back against the door hinges, holding an orange machine gun in his left hand and a sword / drill / pistol in his right hand.
Luka has also partially changed clothes for the moment.
The two-tone boots remained the same, so did his jeans.
But he wears a short-sleeved grid t-shirt with an image of Nathan Drake, the protagonist of the famous video game series, Uncharted, on it.
Like Nathan himself at the moment he wears a pair of gun holsters under his armpits and two more around his waist.
Next to your feet are two red and yellow gym bags, both of which are filled to the brim with something.
The yellow colored bag is dirtier than the red bag, having a golden powder on it.
"If the concentrated shot of my new toy isn't enough. I can try Hawk Gatlinger's rapid fire." Gudrun declared, in a serious tone, raising the orange machine gun at Eda.
Fosse is due to the effects of the drink or the adrenaline induced by the shot, but Eda's mind has returned perfectly clear.
The Owl Lady has fully opened her golden eyes, noticing something very interesting about Luka's hands, replacing her tired expression with a curious face.
Luka's boots and pants are dirty and slightly frayed, as if he had gone to work in a place full of sand and dirt.
His hands are covered with dozens of small scratches, having a light golden powder under his nails.
The shirt is clean, but only because Luka has recently changed.
"Luka, how can I forget about the trigger-happy guy who keeps filling my house with holes.
You owe me a new cup! "Eda said, showing what's left of her favorite cup, not appreciating the loss of the cup, but the adrenaline in the morning is good enough.
"I built a new weapon and superhero vehicle in one night, I can make a new cup in hours.
But first you owe Luz an apology or you will help me test the sword function of my new toy. "Luka declared, turning his second pistol into a sword-drill hybrid, pointing it at Eda.
The Owl Lady has wed her attention to Luz, her chocolate eyes filled with obvious concern, evidently scared of being forgotten and anxious to be in the midst of a possible shooting.
'I'm not getting soft with age. I'm just holding onto a trigger-happy guy armed with dangerous artifacts. ' Eda thought, pretending to only care about Luka and his futuristic weapons, not wanting to make it clear that she feels slightly guilty about Luz.
"Don't cry, Luz, I haven't forgotten about you or your dangerous friend. I haven't slept very well and I don't wake up without a sip of Apple Blood. Although the shot-induced adrenaline seems to be a good substitute." Eda said, deciding to imitate Luka, is stroking Luz's head.
The youngest Noceda's eyes lit up immediately, when Eda called her by her name, setting Luz's engine full of positive energy in motion.
"Luka, what's the name of your new gadget?" Luz asked, curious as to what Luka had prepared. Part of Luz's mind wants to dive headfirst into the world of magic, but an even bigger part wants to witness her half-brother's masked superhero work.
"You already know, Hundred Rapid-Fire Hawk Gatlinger." Luka said, holding up the hawk-themed orange machine gun, placing it on the kitchen table, struggling from the reach of King's paws.
"Today I present to you, The Rotary Sword-Gun Drill Crusher.
This toy is able to switch between its basic blade mode and its pistol mode by removing the spiral blade from the drill and inserting the tip into the Connect Lancer on the side of the handle.
Allowing you to switch from close combat to ranged combat. "Luka explained, showing Luz, the two different forms of her new primary weapon.
"Not bad Kid, you're good at building ... that's why I call you Build." Eda said, laughing shortly, finding one of the reasons why Luka chose the name Build, now if she knew what Kamen Rider means ...
"Great! Now, you have power armor, a laser machine gun and a transformable sword.
All you need is a secret base and a super vehicle and you'd be a bigger hero than Batman. "Luz said, giving a little applause, loving to see Luka's inventions and what they mean.
'Staying on the Boiling Isles for the summer was the best choice of my life.
We can both live our dreams, I will become a great witch like Azula while Luka can become an invent and a hero just like Iron-man. ' Luz thought, smiling softly, loving that both are the protagonists of their respective stories.
"So what do we start with?" Luz asked, in a tone full of enthusiasm I demand a small and intense lesson in magic
"Can you teach me some elemental manipulation spells?
Create my own magic staff from the branch of an ancient tree?
By opening the lost language of the Runes? "Luz said, listing magical activities from her beloved book of Azura and Hasepanzer, wishing to go through the same trials as The Good Witch Azura.
Taking a dramatic pause, Luz gasped about her greatest wish: "Do you have a dangerous magical quest for me?"
Luka gave a little chuckle at Luz's excited demeanor, pulling out a high-tech phone and snapping some flash-free photos, not wanting to forget this moment.
"Slow down, Kid. Becoming a witch isn't something that happens overnight." Eda said, in a gleeful tone, looking down on Luz, remembering what she was like as a child wanting to do all the things Luz listed.
Luka took the red bag, placed it on top of the kitchen table, next to his small arsenal of weapons.
"I agree with Eda. Why not start your day with a nice breakfast." Luka said, opening the red bag, revealing a heap of human food to eat, including ingredients for making cakes.
"Delicacies from the Human Kingdom!" King said, in a euphoric tone, stepping out of his car seat, grabbing a canned dog food, wanting to eat the bones of his enemies.
"Not knowing if Isekai has edible food in this World, I went for a short night visit to the supermarket.
I took your favorite grains and a bunch of good things to eat, even seeds to plant our fruit and vegetables. "Luka explained, pulling the Eda Portal Key out of her pockets, tossing it to her rightful property.
Shrugging, Eda put the portal key somewhere in her wild lock of silver hair.
"I don't know if I have to chastise you or compliment you. How did you get the Portal Key?" Eda said, in an ambiguous tone, slightly increasing her opinion of the trigger-happy guy who turns out to be more and more out of the ordinary.
"A Kamen Rider never tells his secrets." Luka said, with a smile on his face, handing Luz a cereal box, a bottle of milk and a bowl with an image of a witch flying on a broomstick on it.
"Luka, I haven't thanked you yet for letting me stay here and taking care of me. I love you!" Luz stated, holding Luka in a strong hug, wondering what he did to get such a good brother to her.
'Later I have to ask what the link is between these two.
Are they childhood friends, a gentleman who looks after his most inexperienced colleague, betrothed or a young couple of lovers who have run away from home? ' Eda thought, raising an eyebrow at the scene, making some absurd assumptions at the moment, not knowing that Luz and Luka are brothers.
Plus the lack of any real physical resemblance between the two and the fact that Luz used the surname of the first name, while Luka uses the surname of the father, makes things more difficult to discover.
"Esa, stop staring. Luz is an eccentric girl who doesn't care about personal space and shows her affection through lots of hugs." Luka stated, not appreciating Eda staring at them as if they were at a zoo exhibit.
"Luz, I don't want to break your moment. But, you're wrapped in a bathrobe and wearing the dirtiest traffic cone I've ever seen." Eda said, with a mischievous smile on her face, wanting to have a good laugh.
Luz stopped hugging Luka, blinking, took off her "witch hat" and blowing on it, she gave birth to a cloud of dust, revealing the true shape of the object, an orange traffic cone
Luz's face went red with embarrassment, she felt the hat was slightly odd to the touch, she believed it was made from a magical material unknown to humanity, not that it was a dusty traffic cone, later she will have to wash her hair very well .
King didn't miss a chance to laugh at Luz's bad luck. Eda also gave a little chuckle.
Unfortunately for the two of them, Luka doesn't like people laughing at Luz, the two-tone hero grabbed his new weapon in pistol mode and aimed it at the Demon Dog and the Criminal Witch, causing him to stop laughing.
"Wait a second, I have something to fix your lack of witch accessories." Luka said, hurrying out of the kitchen, going to get something for Luz.
"Are all human males that protective?" King asked, not knowing if kids aiming futuristic weapons at those who laugh at his partner is normal.
"It depends on the character of the person, even if most humans are unable to build such willing." Luz responded, having witnessed Luka's protective behavior towards her many times over the years.
Many children on the playground got punched in the face by Luka when laughed at a younger Luz.
But the futuristic weapon stuff is a recent thing.
Suddenly Luka is back in the kitchen, carrying a colorful box in his arms.
"Little Witch Luzakko, I was planning on having a little party at the end of the day for your first day as a witch's apprentice. But I think the gift may come before the cake." Luka said, referencing Little Witch Academy and handing the colored box to Luz.
The youngest of the Noceda opened the box with no fuss, revealing a realistic replica of a pair of Shiny Chariot's garments.
A white witch hat with a blue sash and a red and blue diamond / spade symbol with a golden four-pointed star in the center; and also a red cape with a brown strap and gold buttons.
"The rest of the costume isn't finished yet, but a nice witch hat and fancy cape is enough for the first witch week." Luka said, taking a picture with the phone, wanting to have a couple of Luz's euphoric smile.
"Do I look like a real witch?" Luz asked, putting on her white witch's hat and fancy red cloak.
"It sure fits you better than the traffic cone and bathrobe from before. You remind me of one of the young witches of the Coven of Illusions or the oracle with all those decorations." Eda replied, with a faint smile, finding Luz strangely adorable in those clothes.
"You miss the magic stick, a real witch needs a magic stick." King said, noting that Luz lacks the artifact most used by all the witches of the Boiling Isles.
"I can only do so many in one night. Creating a futuristic staff with the ability to replicate a witch's magic is a time-consuming project, even for a genius inventor like me." Luka said, confident that he could build something that could function as a magic stick using super-advanced science or the Einzbern family's Magecraft or a combination of the two.
'Is Luka convinced he can make a synthetic version of the magic sticks?
Youthful arrogance or maybe he's smart enough to pull it off? ' Eda thought, wanting to ask more questions of Luka who seems to know more than she wants to say.
But the witch's apprentice is Luz, not Luka, so Eda has married her attention to Luz.
"A witch's cane, huh? ... do you really want one?" Eda asked, already knowing full well how Luz will answer.
"More than anything else." Luz replied, in a tone full of joyful enthusiasm, placing her hands pressed to his cheeks.
"Magic stick, come to me!" Eda shouted, in a great voice, reaching up her hand.
The Owl Lady's magic staff did not immediately arrive as expected.
Instead, the distant sounds of broken pottery and overturned furniture are heard down the hall.
"This reminds me of scenes from the Thor movies, when for one reason or another the God of Thunder is having trouble with mjolnir." Luka commented, finding the whole scene hilarious, happy not to be the person who has to clean Eda's mess.
In a short time even the sound of breaking glass resounds in the corridor, Eda begins to regret wanting to be dramatic from seven in the morning.
Without any warning Eda's magic staff flew like a rocket into the kitchen, so fast that Eda couldn't grab her staff, taking a blow straight in the face, almost knocking her out.
"Eda, are you okay, do you need help?" Luz asked, in a worried tone towards Eda.
"From what I saw yesterday, you're a kind of zombie witch. But you seem capable of physical pain. Your biology is a real mystery." Luka said, in an analytical tone, helping Eda to stay on her feet until the dizziness subsides.
"I'm fine, sometimes I forget how fast these sticks can fly." Eda muttered, grimacing, not appreciating having made a bad impression in front of you children.
The Owl Lady lifted her staff off the floor, twisting it between her fingers, doing a short stunt ... ending up hitting herself in the face again and dropping the stick to the floor again.
"Your attempt to save your face is only digging you a deeper pit." Luka said, taking Eda's magic stick from the floor.
When Luka touched the magic staff, the wooden owl's eyes briefly began to glow blue.
The whole thing hasn't escaped Eda.
"No more tricks to get a round of applause from Luz and King, it's hurting you. Just continue your magic lesson with Luz." Luka said, handing the magic staff to the Owl Lady.
Eda took the staff from Luka, giving it a quick look for any sign of a possible witch and / or demon ancestry.
"The witches of the Boiling Isles generally get their personal in two ways.
Most get their staff when they graduate from school. "Eda said, pointing to the decorated owl on top of her staff, as well as confirming the existence of a school of magic.
"With me as a teacher, ideally, you will create your own when the time is right. But until then, you will have to work for it." Eda said, pointing to Luz who is listening intently.
"It seems like a fair enough study method. But if I take too much advantage of Luz and there is no such thing as a lunch break or days off, you will have to argue with me." Luka stated, grabbing his primary weapon, hinting that his method of discussion involves shooting and swordplay.
Eda snapped her fingers and did a little magic, every jar, vial and glass container of all shapes and sizes flew to Luz.
All containers are full of mysterious substances, pastes, liquids and different solutions, having all kinds of colors and compositions.
Potions gathered in one spot, seeing stuffed into a heavy dark red / brown colored sack.
"I run some businesses. On weekends, I offer rare human treasures that Owlbert drags to your side of the kingdom.
But most days I only sell the best homemade elixirs and potions. "Eda said, with a proud tone, confident that she is one of the best potions practitioners in the Boiling Isles.
"You are a potionist and / or alchemist. I expected you to be a battle witch.
It means you have to be very clever to craft such a varied amount of potions without a specialized laboratory. "Luka said, in an impressed tone, paying sincere compliments to the Owl Lady.
"Finally, something is smart enough to admit my genius." Eda said, in a full tone of herself, trying to hide her genuine smile, not used to hearing genuine compliments from someone who doesn't want something from her.
"Luz, I think I'll be attending your potions and / or alchemy classes. I want to see if my talent with chemistry and physics can be used on this branch of magic." Luka commented, wanting to learn this kind of skill at her knowledge department.
"Great, we would be fellow students." Luz exclaimed, delighted not to be the only one who wants to learn magic from Eda.
Especially Luz feeling that Luka will be around during a part of her studies, makes her feel more confident and closer to success, because every time Luka helps her with a school project her grades are close to nine or ten.
Luz kneels, pulling out the first bottle she can reach, bringing it close to her face, she can read the label: "Snake oil?"
"Nobody wants an un-oiled snake. And that's not the only thing you'll deliver today." Eda said, with a smile on her face. Waving to Luz and Luka to follow her to the balcony.
XXX
The trio of outlandish adventurers emerged on a stone balcony, one of the smaller broken towers in which the Owl House had been built.
"Today you will deliver packages and sell potions to that town over there, Bonesborough." Eda stated, pointing to the huge city that rises far and wide. Beyond the city is a huge stone wall that shows a heavy reddish light rising to the sky.
"Bonesborough." Luz said, repeating the name of the city she should visit. Approaching the edge of the balcony, Luz's brown eyes saw the dark fantasy city.
"You'll have to be careful. I have rivals all over the place who would like to dismantle my business and you with it." Eda said, in a serious tone, giving Luz a deserving warning, putting down her bag full of potions.
"Did you want a dangerous magical quest? Sister, you have one." Eda stated, with a bold smile on her lips, crossing her arms, looking more competent and dramatic.
"I won't let you down, Miss Eda!" Luz promised, lifting the sack of potions and putting it over the shoulder, trying to look cool.
Too bad the two witches didn't take Luz's weak nerdy arms into consideration.
When Luz turned to exit the balcony, her momentum and lack of grip strength, she slid the sack over the edge of the balcony.
Luz watched the unfolding of her accident with eyes wide and horrified, staring at the sack as it fell to the ground below.
"Takacandroid, grab the package!" Luka yelled, ordering someone named Taka to save Eda's potions.
Eda leaned forward, eyes narrowed as she caught a glimpse of the bag just before it hit the rocks.
But there were no sounds of broken glass or impact, none of his bottles came out on the ground. Nothing was broken because something small and red rushed the sack, preventing it from hitting the ground.
"I'm sure you will be able to complete your assignment." Esa commented, with a sarcastic tone. Watching how the red thing is carrying the sack full of potions away to a shed / garage.
Luz said nothing, just gave Eda a nervous smile as she gave Luka a grateful look.
"Luka, tell me what is that red thing that saved my merchandise?" Eda asked, curious about what Luka prepared during the night, surely built much more than just a simple weapon.
"Luzartoria and Edarlin. Follow me if you want to see what I make in the moonlight." Luka said, beckoning the girls to follow him.
XXX
Eda, Luz and Luka first went to the kitchen to get King and the yellow bag, then went to the Owl House shed / garage, where Eda throws the stuff that is too old or bulky to keep in the Owl House.
"Someone has been busy." Eda commented, seeing that her shed has become a kind of laboratory under construction.
"This place has never been this clean, I can see my reflection on the floor. If you ever need work, I'll make you my personal butler." King said, not believing anyone is capable of cleaning this old shed.
"Luka again you've been up all night working you have your plans." Luz declared, in a tone full of certainty. Having already seen when Luka dedicates himself to a project he can literally work day and night to complete it.
In the capon, all Eda's trinkets have been taken apart to become spare parts or placed in different boxes positioned in a corner of the room.
Hanging from your walls are three white boards covered with notes and drawings of complex projects.
Four work tables, each with their own tools and ongoing laboratory project.
Table number five, positioned against the wall at the back of the room, is covered with a large brown cloth.
Next to a laptop is an old trunk belonging to Luka which is usually found under the bed in her room.
Much of Luz's attention is centered on an old vending machine, flanked by an old motorcycle, namely a Honda VT 750 C2B Shadow Black Spirit.
"Long story short, I took a night walk last night. I discovered something interesting, but I couldn't explore without the right tools.
So I borrowed the portal key, shopping at night for Luz's sake and to advance my scientific work.
When I got back I requisitioned this shed as my temporary workshop and got to work. "Luka explained, placing her red bag on top of one of her work tables which contains several red metal cans.
"You know I don't think it would be a big effort to have an extra apprentice." Eda commented, wanting to get under her also Luka not only Luz.
The little help Luz will provide to her life is nice to have. But the help of a mechanical genius is certainly much more convenient for many of the Owl Lady's activities.
"When you mean apprentice, you are thinking of a handyman or mechanic repairing broken human garbage." Luka replied, not wanting to sell her talents in exchange for magic lessons in which she participates in one world or another because of Luz.
"I can say I've tried." Eda commented, shrugging, not too disappointed with Luka's response. Knowing full well that Luka will help Luz in her duties, meaning two assistants for the price of one.
"Luka, are these metal cans the thing that saved the potions sack?" Luz asked, grabbing one of the metal cans.
The object that Luz holds in her hands resembles a red can, with silver edges, having a design that resembles a hawk on it.
"I wouldn't be a Kamen Rider Neo-Heisei if I didn't have my little support robots." Luka communicated, touching the tab at the top of the "can" that Luz is holding.
In an instant, the device transformed into a small red robot resembling a predatory bird.
"Luz, Eda, King. Meet Takacandroid, the first of the Candroids, my future platoon of helper robots in my adventure as Kamen Rider Build.
Takacandroid is capable of flying and lifting objects, can be used for reconnaissance and transmits images to my laptop or Build Phone. "Luka explained, with a proud tone, as Takacandroid is flying around King.
"He's adorable, a little animal helper, I wanted to be the first to have something like this." Luz said, playing with the little red bird, finding it very cute.
"Taka, you will be my first recruit of my air invasion force." King declared, they chase Taka across the room, wanting to have an army of Taka to fulfill his conquest ambitions.
"You're really good at building. That little bird of yours reminds me of a Palisman, even if it can't compare to my Owlbert." Eda admitted, complimenting Luka, seriously beginning to think that Luka might be able to build a magic stick with his science.
"If you like this, you must see what I found on my night walk." Luka said, with a big smile on her face, changing over to the table covered in a brown cloth.
"Today I'm not just a Kamen Rider, I'm also a treasure hunter." Luka proclaimed, removing the cloth to reveal various rocks covered in cave paintings showing five chimera-like creatures in red, green, yellow, blue and gray.
Among the artifacts recovered there is also a large stone circle covered with a large symbol divided into three parts.
At the top a red symbol that looks like a hawk.
In the middle a yellow mark depicting a tiger.
At the bottom a green symbol showing a grasshopper.
"You are failing me, as my knight you must bring gold and jewels to your king, not painted stones." King said, not appreciating Luka's discovery in the slightest, wanting something truly valuable.
"The Boiling Isles are ancient if you search through the forest you can find ancient graves of witches or strange fossils. If you want to collect such things you can, but you have to keep out of the Owl House." Eda said, not paying much attention to the paintings on the stone tablets.
"I find it very well, I wonder what this symbol can mean?" Luz asked, genuinely interested in finding Luka, taking out her phone to photograph the mystery mark.
"Luz, I'm glad you like it. Last night I just started my exploration, without a drill and the assistance of a small flying animal I could not continue my search.
One of you wants to help me in my Nathan Drake or Lara Croft adventure. "Luka asked, not wanting to go on the adventure alone, because in many of his Indiana Jones adventure games there is always a puzzle or brain teaser that can be solved only with the help of another person.
"I'd like to go on an archaeological adventure with you, Luka. We've always dreamed of having an adventure like Nathan Drake or Lara Croft." Luz said, being also a small fan of this genre of video games and movies.
Luz turns to Eda, making huge puppy eyes, wanting to get the Owl Lady to postpone her chore for later.
"Sorry Kid, but Luz can't come and play with you and your rocks. She has to go to Bonesborough and deliver my potions. Once back she can play with you all day." Eda said, wanting to get this weight off her shoulders as soon as possible.
"Eda, I think you don't understand how an Isekai experience works.
You see, the hero can usually choose whether to do his secondary or primary mission. "Luka said, wishing Luz had a choice on the matter.
"Choose your mission, Luz: Deliver Potions or Treasure Hunt?" Luka asked, turning to Luz. Eda did the same thing.
The youngest of the Noceda does not like being in the middle between a Witch and a Superhero.
"Luka, I love you. But didn't you want me to become more responsible?
I run errands for Eda, then I come to help you in your exploration. "Luz said, playing with her fingers from nervousness.
"You're growing up, baby. I'm glad she's thinking about keeping your agreements." Luka said, with a small smile, stroking Luz's head, having no problem with choosing her half-sister.
"Too bad I'm a superhero, selfish, brilliant, impatient and trigger-happy." Luka said, with a mischievous smile on his face, having something in mind to get what he wants.
The two-tone hero or anti-hero has taken his yellow bag in his arms, determined to carry out his plan. With his right hand to partially open the zipper of his yellow bag.
"King, Eda, if you don't want to help me with my exploration, no problem. Until Luz finishes her chore I can take a nap or buy another gadget." Luka explained, putting a hand under his chin, pretending to think what to do to take care of free time.
"But that means you won't get any of the rest of the hidden treasure." Luka said, walking to the shed exit, knowing how to get King and Eda to help him with his project.
"Oops." Luz said, pretending to trip between her feet and drop her bag in front of Eda's feet.
The contents of the yellow bag spilled onto the shed floor: a puddle of gold coins, diamonds and precious artifacts.
The eyes of Eda and King have turned into symbols of the local currency, greed is a strong desire within the two of them.
'Luka, you are brilliant, it looks like my first mission on the Boiling Isles will be a treasure hunt.' Luz thought, appreciating the sneaky side of her stepbrother who seems to get what she wants.
"Luka, where did you get this gold from !?" Eda asked, placing her hands on Luka's shoulders and pulling him close to her, wanting to find out where this small fortune came from.
"I found a cave that leads into a kind of temple chock full of paintings, historical treasures and objects made of solid gold.
At the far end of the temple is there a massive door that hides something important, perhaps the king's tomb chock full of priceless treasures? "Luka said, with a smug expression, knowing full well that he had captured Eda and King.
"Luz, change of plans!
Today the four of us go treasure hunting, you can deliver the potions tomorrow too! "Eda stated, being able to delay sending her potions by a day or two, if that means she can get a literal mountain of valiant treasures.
"Treasure Hunt, Treasure Hunt!" Luz and King shouted simultaneously, thrilled to be able to go on a real treasure hunt. Even if the reasons for their joy are different.
Luz craves the adventure of a lifetime.
King like Eda desires wealth.
"Now that we are all in agreement, let's distribute our roles.
I'll be Nathan Drake from Uncharted 2: Den of Thieves.
Luz will be Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.
Eda can be Indiana Jones or Victor Sullivan.
King can pretend to be Scrappy-Doo if he wants to. "Luka joked, giving each person present a role to play.
'Let's see if I was right. This is the Trademark of OOO, does it mean that there can be more than one Kamen Rider in the Boiling Isles? ' Luka thought, wanting to keep the real reason why he wants to explore these ruins a secret.
While Luka is thinking about the possible consequences of the presence of another Kamen Rider. Luz can't help but stare at the OOO mark, feeling a strange feeling of attraction towards it.
Keep it going ...
