Extra Chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kamen Rider or Konosuba.
Note: This will be my first extra chapter, as it's an extra, it doesn't (or does.) have continuity with the other chapters. Or it could be, it's up to you or me to link it to the other chapters. Anyway, let's get started.
(Morning.)
Haruka seems to be very bored, he's sitting on a rock on the sidewalk, resting his head in his hands, he's watching a fourteen-year-old mage on her motorcycle trying to start it, but the mage gets scared every time the bike takes off.
"Megumin." Haruka says, catching her companion's eye. "Don't be scared and concentrate on your balance."
"I know..." Megumin says frightened, holding onto the bike's handlebars. "It's just... it's very difficult..." The mage tries to speak. But her voice comes out shaky.
"Look, the most important thing is to stay calm and keep your eyes fixed straight ahead." Haruka tries to explain to the girl that she's trying once again to move the bike forward, but as soon as the bike takes a slight pull forward, the magician lies down on the bike and grips it tightly.
"I'm sorry... I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't!" The magician repeated several times, too afraid to move.
"Ahhhh" Haruka lets out a long sigh and gets up, approaching the magician. "Do you want me to go for a ride with you, so you can get used to the movement of the bike." Haruka puts her hand on the magician's shoulder to reassure her.
"You... you're not going to let me fall... are you?" Megumin asked, calming down a little. "I'm not going to fall, am I?"
"Of course not." Haruka smiles at her friend. "Because I've been riding a motorcycle for over a year now."
Well, at least that's what I want her to believe. As soon as I arrived in this world I just got on the Junglaider and just started driving without any worries or anything, I just felt the bike and started driving. Megumin is a great friend, but when she saw the Jinglaider for the first time, she just went crazy with excitement and really wanted to ride it. This morning she gave me a hard time about wanting to ride it soon.
(Flashback.)
"Please, please, please, please, please!" Megumin is standing in front of me with her hands clasped together, begging me with all her heart.
"I'm sorry, Megumin. I got back late last night and didn't sleep properly..." Haruka is sitting on the sofa with his eyes drooping, looking sleepy.
"Please, Haruka!" Megumin kneels on the floor, clasps his hands together and closes his eyes in supplication to his friend. "Please, Haruka, teach me how to ride that red two-wheeled carriage!"
"Megumin, I'm very tired. And I don't even think you're old enough to ride it." Haruka says to her friend, who has a sad expression on her face.
"Please, I... I promise to make you a very delicious breakfast!" Megumin says, trying one last approach, hoping that Haruka will accept.
"No need, I can already cook very well." Haruka says to her friend. She lies down on the sofa to rest for a while.
Megumin doesn't give up. She starts to shake her friend's body to accept his request, but Haruka doesn't respond. Megumin spots Kazuma, Darkness and Aqua coming in and she runs over to them to ask for their help.
"Guys!" Megumin approaches the group with a sly tone in her voice. "Please tell Haruka to teach me how to ride that red two-wheeled carriage, he doesn't want to teach me."
"Look, Megumin. He's very tired." Darkness said, approaching her friend. "He was called out on a patrol in the city and stayed there very late."
"And he didn't even bring a present." Aqua says, crossing her arms.
"Aqua!" Kazuma says incredulously to his friend. "Look, Megumin, let him rest for a while. When he gets his energy back, you can ask him again." Kazuma said, trying not to make his friend sad.
"All right..." Megumin lowers her head and walks back to the sofa. Taking a seat on the floor in front of the sofa, she begins to watch Haruka sleeping and waits anxiously for him to wake up.
"Doesn't she seem very interested in that red carriage?" Darkness asks the group as he watches Megumin sitting on the floor.
"She's just very enthusiastic about the bike." Kazuma says, shrugging and heading for the kitchen.
"Never mind, she's only fourteen. She's practically a child." Aqua walks up to Kazuma humming in her thoughts.
"É... let her be a kid." Darkness thinks with a smile and walks after the two of them into the kitchen.
(Two hours later.)
"Mmmm..." Haruka slowly opens his eyes and sits up on the sofa. His body is numb, but his mind is still turning on. "What time is it?..." Haruka mumbles, regaining his strength.
"It's 9 a.m." Megumin says to Haruka.
"Thanks..." Haruka thanks her without realizing Megumin was sitting next to her. "Wait... AHHH!" Haruka jumps to the other side of the sofa and falls to the floor. "Oww..." Haruka complains, holding her head.
"Haruka, are you all right?" Magumin asked, leaning on the arm of the sofa as he watched his friend with concern.
"I'm fine..." Haruka gets up from the floor with his hand still on his head. "But why were you on my side?" Haruka asks, turning to the mage.
"Well..." Megumin looks away. "I was waiting for you to wake up..." Megumin turns her head, thinking that Haruka is going to think she's crazy and sadistic.
"Wow, do you really want to learn how to ride the Junglaider?" Haruka asks, removing her hand from her head as the pain begins to fade from the boy's regeneration.
"That's it!" Megumin says excitedly, looking at Haruka, and there seem to be stars shining in the explosive mage's eyes.
"Ahhh" Haruka sighs slightly, giving up. "I'll teach you." Haruka says to the magician, who is instantly filled with excitement. "But I don't want you watching me sleep again!"
(End of flashback.)
Megumin insists on being in front so that she can see the path of travel, Haruka adjusts Megumin's position on the bike, placing her forward near the energy tank. Haruka sits behind Megumin, trying his best not to touch Megumin's ass. Haruka fixes the bike and starts it up, making the Junglaider let out a roar mixed with the roar of the engine.
"Wou!" Megumin is impressed by the noise of the bike. "That's cool!"
"Yeah, pretty cool." Haruka says, giving the handlebars a slight twist, causing the Junglaider to let out another roar.
"It's pretty cool!" Megumin is even more impressed by the bike. "Come on, I want to see what it's like to ride it!"
"Great." Haruka turns the handlebars and starts the bike moving.
Haruka revs up the bike and takes off at high speed with Megumin screaming with excitement. Kazuma, Aqua and Darkness watched the two of them speed off.
"Won't he end up killing her that way?" Darkness asked, watching the two get further and further away.
"No, Megumin loves manners." Aqua shrugged.
"She'll love the adrenaline rush." Kazuma lets out a sigh, remembering when Haruka took him out on the bike.

(Play Vague Hope/NieR:Automata os.)
Haruka is driving across the plains at a fast pace. Megumin gazes happily at the horizons, feeling the breeze blow through her hair.
"You always travel with this..." Megumin asks, trying to remember the name of the carriage Haruka had mentioned earlier.
"With the Junglaider?" Haruka asks, trying to confirm Megumin's question.
"Yes, that's right. And why did you name her Junglaider?" Megumin asks, looking ahead and observing several Ostriches running around.
"Well..." Haruka tries to make sense of Junglaider's name. "It's like a mix between two words. Jungle and Rider, because I'm a wild Kamen Rider and wild animals live in the jungle. So I just put the two together." Haruka begs Megumin every month to accept this explanation.
"Oh... but wait, what's a Rider?" Megumin looks back to see Haruka's face.
"Ah, man." Haruka sighs. "I'll explain it to you in no time." Haruka speeds off around a bend to get back to the mansion.
(End of song.)
(Night.)
"Really? Was the wind breeze that good?" Dakness asks Megumin. With the two of them sitting on the sofa wearing their pyjamas.
"Yes!" Megumin waves her arms excitedly. "It was really amazing, the speed, the wind, the horizons, it was really cool riding the Junglaider with Haruka!" Megumin seems to have stars in her eyes.
"Wow, was it that cool?" Aqua joins the conversation, sitting down next to the girls.
"Yeah! It was really cool!" Megumin continues, talking about her experience riding the Junglaider. Megumin sees Haruka entering the room eating hard-boiled eggs. "Haruka!" Megumin walks over to his friend.
"Uhm?" Haruka directs his gaze at Megumin. "What's wrong?" Haruka asks, taking another egg and putting it in his mouth.
"It was a really fun ride, I really enjoyed it!" Megumin gives Haruka a warm smile.
Haruka looks at Megumin's smile and a silhouette of her sister appears in her mind. With a smile, the young Rider strokes the explosive magician's head.
"No need to thank me, I'll take you for a walk whenever you want." Haruka takes another egg and begins to eat it. Heading towards their room, Aqua and Darkness watch Haruka walk to her room.
"They even look like brothers." Aqua says, watching Haruka leave.
"Do what? They act like brothers." Darkness says, stretching. "Well, I'm going to bed early. Good night, Aqua." Darkness starts walking to his room.
"Good night." Aqua says goodbye to Darkness and lies down on the sofa. "Now what do I do?"
"How about a drink?" Kazuma says, placing a glass in front of Aqua while holding a bowl of snacks.
"Really?" Aqua asks debauchedly. "You want to drink with me?"
"Well, Haruka doesn't like to drink, Darkness has gone to bed, Megumin is too young to drink and I don't want to drink alone." Kazuma sits down next to Aqua and offers her the cup again. "So, do you want it?"
"Okay then." Aqua shrugs and takes the cup. "You're being very kind to me, is there something behind this?" Aqua asks with a superior look.
"No, I just wanted some company to drink with." Kazuma takes a snack and eats it. "Would you like some?"
Aqua gives a mischievous smile, putting his hand in the bowl and filling his hand with snacks.
"Wou! Don't fill your hand, you wretch!" Kazuma tries to take the snacks back while Aqua laughs at Kazuma's face.
(End of chapter.)
