At each branch of the Ark Dominion that was bombed, the police were inspecting the scene. The Omiya branch was no exception, and the Saitama Prefectural Police had already set up a perimeter. It seems that it was originally a garage for rent, and it was fortunate that there was almost no damage to the surroundings.

「Look, it’s only been three minutes since the bomb went off and it’s like this. Even we can’t get closer once this happens.」

The man who said this was a large man wearing a tight-fitting t-shirt with a well-trained inverted triangle-shaped body.

「This kind of skillfulness …… as expected, the attackers were definitely members of the Public Security Bureau, General Bearion.」

「Hey, brother, I’m not Bearion now. I’m Kumada Iwao! You should call me Kuma-san!」

「I’m not your brother either, though.」

「Isn’t it fine, It’s not going to get worse!」

A crowd of media and onlookers had gathered around the scene. If a hairy bear mysterious being were to appear in such a situation, a panic would be inevitable. Even General Bearion, as expected, was now in his human form.

However, despite saying this, the mukimuki macho, which is over two meters tall, is suspicious enough even if he is not a mysterious being. After stopping by the clinic, Rintaro and Samecchi met up with Bearion, or Kuma-san, and the three of them went to scout out the site of the attack.

「But still, it sure was a flashy blow, ssune. It’s a pile of rubble, ssu! 」

「Looking at the melted steel, I’m pretty sure it’s Red’s Burning Heat Gloves.」

「Uooooooooon…… My ambition……!」

A large macho man broke down in tears, attracting the attention of onlookers. Pretending to be a stranger, Rintaro looked at the pile of rubble and noticed a signboard stained black with soot. A closer look revealed a large sign that read, “Super Strongest Japan Pro Wrestling Omiya Branch”.

「Bea…… Kuma-san, are you by any chance launching a business here……?」

「Uoooon, I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone…….! I’ve already brought in the latest training equipment and professional protein…….!」

「That’s…… I don’t know if I should call it a disaster or something else.……」

「I’ve studied a book and made a website , you know……!?」

Thinking that this happened because he was doing something that could be traced back to him, Rintaro took out his smartphone, which he had just bought after arriving at Ark Dominion. He found the website right away, but the moment he saw the top page, he gulped.

「……Ugh…… This is……!」

『Welcome to the official website of the Super Strongest Japan Pro Wrestling』

The rainbow-colored gradation of the Soh Eikaku pop out font flickered at high speed! And then there’s a wave of attacks that hit Rintaro!

『Welcome, you are the 77th customer!

↓ If you got Kiriban[1], please post a message on the bulletin board! ↓』

『Chat room 0/10』

『>>We are looking for mutual links!<<』

「Ugh, u gufu ~a ~a~a~a~a~a! ! !」

What a raging series of attacks! Rintaro couldn’t help but want to cover his eyes at the tragic scene.

It was the darkness of the nineties, deep enough to hold with both hands. What kind of book did he refer to when making it? Did he not feel a sense of discomfort while making it?

Reading further down the page, He found a page introducing the players.

『Green Destroyer Kuriyama』

Rintaro pretended he hadn’t seen anything and gently turned off the screen of his phone. For a moment, he thought he saw a very vicious photoshopped image, but it must have been an optical illusion. I must be exhausted from all the work I’ve been doing lately.

「……Well, I can’t help it if it’s destroyed. …… Okay, next time I’ll build one in Kawagoe or Urawa! Brother, I think it would be better if it was close to the station and had a large parking lot!」

「I think it’s fine anywhere, I won’t use it anyway……」

「Gahahahaha! What is the signboard star saying!」

「Ahaha, I don’t really understand what you mean.」

At that moment, a melody sounded from Samecchi’s backpack.

Zunzundenden ♪ Zunzundenden ♪

Zunzundenden ♪ Zunzundenden ♪

The music is reminiscent of a panic horror movie where a huge shark is approaching from the bottom of the ocean.

「Hello, ssu…… Eeh!? Really, ssuka!?」

Samecchi hung up the phone in a panic and pulled Rintaro’s sleeve as hard as she could.

「Big brother, it’s important, ssu!」

「Samecchi, if you pull that hard, my shoulder will come off!」

「Sorry, ssu! But if we don’t hurry, it will be dangerous, ssu! The clinic is being attacked, ssu!!!」

「What!?」

「What the hell!?」

Rintaro and Beerion couldn’t help but look at each other. Rintaro and Samecchi, in particular, had been at the clinic just a moment ago to talk with Cheetiger. The clinic is now being attacked by the heroes.

They immediately got into the car and hurried to the clinic on the outskirts of the city.

…………

The clinic on the outskirts of Omiya was engulfed in flames.

「The red light that makes your heart roar, Victor Red! Mysterious beings, obediently put yourself in rope!!」

「You’re quite talented to catch me by surprise! Rejoice, you pig! I’ll give you my kick!」

Against the backdrop of a burning clinic, Victor Red is confronted by the number two of the Hundred Beasts Legion.  She is a military uniformed Usamimi eye patch girl, kicking rabbit mysterious being, Colonel Usanyi-chan. 

She was visiting this clinic in place of Rintaro and others to visit the members.

A large sea slug acted as a radar to detect danger. This allowed the patients to escape in the nick of time, and miraculously, no damage was done.

But of course, Colonel Usanyi-chan’s bunny ears were hitting the sky with fury.

「If you’re looking for close quarters combat, you’ve come to the right place, Guwaaaaaaaa!」

「What’s the matter? Get up, you maggot! I’ll kick you as many times as I have to until that noisy mouth of yours behaves itself!」

The fighting styles of the Hundred Beasts Legion, including Colonel Usanyi-chan, are all hand-to-hand combat. Colonel Usanyi-chan’s sabat-style martial arts, in which she continuously kicks with rugged military boots, was one of the best in the army. 

In particular, Colonel Usanyi-chan’s special move, the “Full Power Drop Kicking Rabbit (Shoot)” can blow off a four-ton truck nearly 100 meters away if it is a direct hit.

――However――!

「Uooo! Such a kick is useless! Burning heat gloves! !!」

Even though it is a powerful blow, as long as the core is removed, the impact can be kept to a minimum.

Retto, who was facing her, had burnt on both of his arms and was not in top form, but he was still able to compete with Colonel Usanyi-chan. He was the leader of the elite Victory Sentai Victory Rangers of Tokyo Headquarters.

The two sides were not willing to give up even a single step. However, the stalemate did not last long.

「I never thought I’d be showing off my real kick to you……! Here I go, full power drop kicking rabbit(shoot)!!」

Colonel Usanyi-chan’s tough boots popped off, exposing the legs of a beast. Just as she was about to unleash a kick of unimaginable power from her supple, yet strong legs, the beast’s legs gave way.

「Moonless Sky One Sword Style…… Dai Ichimonji!」

「What!? Guhaaaaaa!!」

A flash of a third party suddenly appeared like a shadow, and slashed Colonel Usanyi-chan’s defenseless back through her military uniform.

「The black light that cuts through the darkness, Victor Black…」

It was a surprise attack by Kirika Mayuzumi, dressed in a black hero suit. Kirika’s sophisticated swordsmanship combined with her black Japanese sword “Kuroageha” could inflict fatal wounds to the steel-like body of the mysterious being.

「Kuu… So you’ve been lying low……! But I’m the number two in the Hundred Beast Legion…… I won’t retreat just because of a wound like this!」

Despite being heavily injured, Colonel Usanyi-chan stood up and held her whip.

「Take this! Electric Shock Biribiri Whip!」

The whip held in Colonel Usani’s hand stretched out and approached Victor Black. As soon as it was wrapped around her body, the entire whip sparked with blue-white sparks.

「Ha-ha-ha!  You’ve got a lot of backbone! For a bunch of locusts with blue asses at Hero Headquarters, that is!」

The power of the electric shock biribiri whip is comparable to that of a high voltage power line, and even Victor Black should be blackened and forced to retire.

「Where are you attacking?」

「……What……!?」

A cold murmur reminiscent of a sub-zero temperature came from behind Colonel Usanyi-chan. When she turned around, she saw a woman with silvery-white hair gently swaying.

「Impossible…… How the hell did you……!?」

What the Electric Shock Biribiri Whip attacked was only Victor Black’s suit. Mayuzumi Kirika, aka Victor Black, instantly “canceled” her transformation and turned the suit into a decoy.

Kirika sighed deeply and held a black sword in a low stance.

「I don’t have time to talk to a small child.」

「Hi, Hiiiii!?」

「Moonless Sky One Sword Style, Miyama Karasu!」

This time, The attack of the black sword sliced Colonel Usanyi-chan in half.

――was what it looked like――。

Zakuu!

「Nguu~u~u~u~! ! !」

A large black shadow slipped in between the wide-eyed Kirika and the half-crying Colonel Usanyi-chan.

「……That was painful, you bastard! Hey Usanyi, Are you okay!?」

「Bearion-samaaaaaaa!!!!!」

It was Bearion, the Hundred Beasts General, a giant mysterious being that looked like a combination of a bear and a lion.

「Aaah, That person is gone. What should we do about this.」

Rintaro looked up at the clear blue sky as he gripped the steering wheel of his car. Inside the car, Beirion had turned into a mysterious being and had crashed through not only the windshield but also the ceiling.

「I feel like nothing good ever happen whenever I drive.」

「I’ll get a convertible next time, ssu.」

「Well, you should do that. Let’s assume that the repair fee will be charged to the Hundred Beasts Legion.」

With that said, Rintaro quickly put on his glasses and looked at the two red and black Victor Rangers.
