"You've worked hard today, go back and take a rest early."
The store manager closed the store, turned around, and said to Mari Ikeda and Takashi Onoe in front of him with a smile.
"Hey." The two nodded and watched the store manager's figure gradually walk away until he disappeared. Mari Ikeda and Takashi Ogami set off and walked towards their accommodation.
Mari Ikeda also lives in the accommodation provided by the store, which is considered to be under the same roof as Ogami, but she is on the second floor and Ongami is on the first floor.
After a few days of getting along, Mari Ikeda and Takashi Ogami became familiar with each other, and they would exchange words from time to time on the way back.
The izakaya is not far from where I live, about ten minutes away, and after chatting, I arrived and could see the two-story building in the distance.
When the two of them walked to the front yard outside the house, they found a man in casual clothes standing at the door, occasionally looking down into the distance, as if he was waiting for someone important.
"Hello, is this Miss Mari Ikeda?" When the man saw Mari Ikeda and the other two, he came up to them in a leisurely manner, bowed politely and asked.
Mari Ikeda was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect that this man was waiting for him. After he realized what he was doing, he nodded slightly and said, "It's me. Do you want to see me for anything?"
"It's like this, did you receive a bag two days ago, with a metal belt in it?" the man asked with a smile, fearing that she would not be clear, and added, "It was packed in a silver suitcase.
.”
"Yes, what's wrong?" Mari Ikeda was confused. This man was waiting here to ask her about a toy?
"That's right, that belt is a limited edition..." The man smiled and was about to explain his intention here when he suddenly found that the power in his body was rioting uncontrollably, like boiling water.
.
Kenzaki Ryoma, who was far away in Tokyo, looked at the scene in front of him and twitched his lips, muttering to himself, "I can't let you get the belt so easily!"
"ah!!"
The more evil-looking black stripes loomed on the man's face. As his pupils shrank slightly, his eyes were instantly swallowed by the gray fog of defeat. The dead gray flesh armor covered his body, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a...
Orpheus Enoch in the shape of a scorpionfish.
"Ophi Enoch!"
Mari Ikeda's eyes widened and he looked at the monster in front of him in shock.
She had seen the video of Kamen Rider Caesar and Wolf Enoch fighting in the park before, so she knew about Enoch. Now that she thought about it, the belt and mobile phone around Kamen Rider Caesar's waist seemed to be similar to those in her hand.
Did the other party come here because of the belt?
Onoe Takuya was horrified because he didn't know this monster, but even if he didn't know it, he was still shocked by the ferocious appearance of Enoch.
"What kind of monster is this!"
Seeing Enoch's transformation process up close, this is not something that can be done by magic at all. It is a real transformation from a human body into a monster body in an instant.
"Where's the belt?"
Aoife Enoch, who transformed into a man, has an appearance similar to a spider, and his compound eyes flash with a strange black light, which is extremely terrifying and makes anyone who sees it shudder.
"Waist...belt?"
Mari Ikeda stepped back in horror, wanting only to stay away from Enoch. Although she also wanted to fight monsters like Kamen Rider, how could she, an ordinary person, do it?
"What kind of belt!" Although Onoe Takumi was scared, he still opened his hands to protect Shinohara Mari, his eyes were fixed on Enoch's Enoch, and he slowly backed away.
Although Mari Ikeda was panicked, she still forced herself to calm down a little and thought about the words of Enoch in front of her.
belt?
Yes, if what is written in the instruction manual that comes with the belt is true, then you should be able to transform into a Kamen Rider and fight the Orpheus Enoch in front of you.
She raised her head and looked at Enoch, the scorpionfish, who was gradually approaching. Her disbelieving heart became firmer.
But she knew very well that even if she handed over the belt, Ao Fei Enoch in front of her would definitely kill people and silence them, and she would never let them go. But what else could she do now? Call the police? It was too late to wait for the police to come. They didn't even have the body. .
What Mari Ikeda can’t figure out is who sent the belt to her. Is it really her adoptive father? But why did it send it to her?
Could it be that she thought she could transform and deal with Aoife Enoch, but she had tried it before and it didn't work.
"Mari, I'm going to lure it away, you run away!" Onoue Takumi stared at the approaching Scorpionfish Enoch, and waved his hand back, signaling Mari Ikeda to leave quickly.
Mari Ikeda also stared closely at the ferocious figure approaching in front of him, gritted his teeth and said: "It's useless. With our ability, we can't escape at all, and there is absolutely no way he will let us go."
Only the power of the belt can save them now.
But there is a problem, that is, she cannot change her body and cannot use the power of the belt at all.
"Where's the belt?"
The human figure of Orpheus Enoch appeared on the ground. He asked in an indifferent tone. He originally wanted to buy it with money, but for some reason, his power suddenly went out of control. But since it was exposed, there is nothing to hide. .
Anyway, there is no surveillance nearby and there are few people around. As long as he does it cleanly and gets his belt back, I believe the president will not criticize him harshly.
Mari Ikeda swallowed, with a look of fear on his face, and said tremblingly: "The belt is in the room, I can take you to get it, as long as you let us go, okay?"
"Okay, as long as you hand over your waistband, I will spare your life!" On the surface, Enoch agreed readily, but I don't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Mari Ikeda took a deep breath and slowly walked forward. Since the belt was sent to her, does it mean that she could successfully use the power of the belt?
In the current situation, there is no choice. Only the power of the belt can save them. No matter what, they must give it a try. This is the last hope of survival.
"truth!"
Onoue Takumi looked anxious and stretched out his hand to stop Mari Ikeda. He thought about it and knew that even if he handed over the belt, the monster in front of them would not let them go. After all, they had seen each other's monster form.
