CH 54

A motorcycle was riding at full throttle through the night on the national highway. Riding on the black motorcycle with the V emblem shining on its handlebars was the Hero girl, Mayuzumi Kirika. Her black jacket flutters in the cold wind as she weaves her way between cars.

Lately, Kirika has been thinking about Rintaro more and more. Perhaps it is because the face and attitude of Death Green, her hated enemy whom she could not kill even if she wanted to, are just like the late Rintaro’s.

「Death Green……! How dare you, how dare you with my……!」

The black flames of anger fluttered in the night wind.

For Kirika, Rintaro Kuriyama was a much more special person than people around her thought. Even though they had only eaten out of the same pot for a year, no one from outside would think that they had a deep relationship.

However, for Mayuzumi, who always lived with loneliness because of her genius, Rintaro Kuriyama was the only one who confronted her arrogance head-on.

The bike accelerates even faster as she turns the gas pedal. As her whole body was bathed in the wind, Kirika was reminded of last summer.

「Senpai, I am going to win today so please have a match with me!」

「Okay, I understand. However, the use of weapons is strictly forbidden. Take off everything you are wearing right now.」

「There… there is no way that I can do that! What the hell are you thinking!」

「Listen, Mayuzumi, you don’t always get to choose when and where you fight. Sometimes, you may be suddenly attacked by a monster in the bathroom. Keep in mind that you cannot always be in perfect condition.」

「……Yes, Senpai……!」

With the words “Always on the battlefield” in her heart, she has never let go of her sword even for a moment since then. Although she was once made to run 200 laps around the grounds by a training instructor who was extremely angry with her for doing so, Kirika has never once regretted it.

From the outside, Rintaro may not have been a good senior. But when she saw his name plate at the secret base, she could not help but burst into tears.

It was only then that she realized.

Mayuzumi Kirika was surely in love.

Dorururururun, dorun…….

When they reach their destination and turn off the engine, the girl puts her hand on her black helmet. Her suspicious-looking figure, stained from head to toe with the color of evening darkness, was bathed in a glow like a fresh snowfall.

Kirika brushes back her silver hair and looks up at the suburban buildings with her sky-blue eyes. Then, her eyes sharpened sharply like polished blades.

In a room of a multi-tenant building, men in suits were diligently unpacking cardboard boxes.

「Who is it that put the delicious beetle jelly together with the coolant!?」

「Sorry, Mikarikki, I thought it would taste better cold.」

「Beetle jelly is supposed to be at room temperature. Just because Zazoma-sama is not here, doesn’t mean that you could slack off. As long as this Mikarikki’s compound eyes are black, I will not tolerate any disturbance of public morals!」

The Strange Insects Army had already been forced to move out for the third time this week. In addition, the previous attack by the Victor Rangers had left the leader, General Zazoma, in a critical condition, unconscious after inhaling a large amount of ba-sans.

This is why everyone on the team, led by the number two, Mikarikki, was tense.

「But, Mikarikki, I’m …… worried. I’m not sure if it’s safe here or not, they’re attacking us as if they can sense our movements.」

「No problem. This place is far away from the city center, and the real estate agents are also under the control of the Ark Dominion. How many public security agencies can sniff us out?」

Ding-dong. The intercom at the office rang. When they opened the door, a girl with a dazzling smile was standing there holding a stack of boxes.

「Evening, Villain Pizza’s! Ten monster pizzas are delivered to you!」

「Ooh, I’ve been waiting! Hmm, this harmony of green-smelling leaves and muddy-smelling rotten wood. After all, Vilain’s pizza is organic.」

The bugs were hungry from all the moving work they had done since this morning, and they swarmed around the pizzas, eager to be the first to eat them. They then happily put the pizzas in their mouths.

「Yummy, as expected pizzas are yummy, aryi!」

「I haven’t eaten for lunch, so it seeps into me. It’s soaked into my exoskeleton.」

「Man, this apple peel pizza is really good any time of the year. …… Ugh!?」

The pizza dropped out of Mickarikki’s hand. At the same time, one after another, the insectoid monsters began to crouch down, pressing down on their stomachs.

「Ooooooh……! What’s wrong with my stomach all of a sudden, aryi……」

「Agagagaga…… My hands are numb……」

「This is…… Could it be…… Boric acid dango……!?」

A few dozen minutes later, the bugs were rescued by the “real Villain’s Pizza staff,” most of whom were diagnosed with acute food poisoning at the clinic.

Dorurururururun!

A black motorcycle whizzes along the national highway in the middle of the night with a heavy, low engine noise. An intercom attached to the inside of the black helmet transmits a message.

『This is Command Headquarters. Mayuzumi-san, how is the operation to attack the Ark Dominion branches coming along?』

「This is Mayuzumi. This is Mayuzumi. I am now heading to our target F point, the Ark Dominion branch office in Funabashi.」

『Headquarters copy. …… No, wait, let’s avoid point F. Can you please continue on to Wako? I will send you the coordinates of the new base where the beast monsters are.』

「Roger that.」

After a brief response, Kirika squeezed the throttle of her bike. With a roar, the bike made a U-turn, sliding with its rear wheel.

The bike quickly melted away into the darkness of the night, leaving tire tracks.

…………

At the time, Rintaro was visiting the base of the Karakuri Gundan in Funabashi City. Unlike other corps, it was a comfortable office space, with an entire floor of a commercial building in a prime location in front of the station smashed out. The building has already been furnished with high-end furniture and reception rooms equipped with fluffy sofas and state-of-the-art air purifiers.

This was indeed the way the money was being spent by the Machinery General Tagaraak, who controls 10% of the Japanese economy.

This morning, a blonde-haired young woman herself welcomes Rintaro, who suddenly sent word that he wished to pay a visit.

「Oh, long time no see, Rintaro! Are you finally ready for a real-life beauty reincarnation?」

「No, that’s fine. I would like to speak with General Tagaraak for a moment. Do you have a few minutes of your time? Alone, if possible.」

「Doki! No, no, no, Rintaro! Just because I’m a beautiful girl! Just because I’m a blonde haired, blue eyed, Western loli bishoujo!」

Tagaraak hugged her shoulders and wriggled her body. At first glance, she appeared to be a young girl of about 10 years old, but her movements were somehow reminiscent of the 20th century.

「I will not ask you about the disgraceful rumor that you have spread about the legend of my great sexual power, so please listen to me seriously.」

「Play along a little bit, you’re making me look like I’m losing it.」

Tagaraak snapped her fingers when she said this.

Then, from the butlers and maids waiting in the reception room, to the office workers who were working hard even though it was the middle of the night, every single person on the floor stood still as if time had been stopped.

If you didn’t know that they were the mechanical puppets made by the Machinery Army, and its leader, General Tagaraak, you would think it was a flash mob or something similar.

「Now no one is listening. Amazing, isn’t it? It’s like time stands still, isn’t it? This is my favorite. Everyone who sees it is amazed.」

With these words, Tagaraak thrust her hand into the maid’s skirt, which had come to a complete stop, and without hesitation pulled down her pants to her heels. She did something that would have been impossible without the innocence of a young blonde girl, and she did it without hesitation.

But Maidy, the monster who had her pants stripped off, never blinked, not even with a smile on her face.

「Muu, Rintaro. Now you can rub her breasts as much as you want.」

「I’ll refrain from doing so. I’m not here for that kind of play.」

Rintaro sat down on the fluffy sofa and crossed his legs.

「I am going to say this in a straightforward manner. I need your help to defeat Victor Black. General Tagaraak owes me a loan for the eight robots. How about we make it even?」

Behind the shiny glasses, dead eyes with no lights reflected Tagaraak’s image.

「That’s fine for the start-up fee. But you must give me the Victory Transformation Gear of Victor Black as a reward for success. Then I will take you up on the offer.」

「As expected of General Tagaraak. It seems I can do business with you.」

「In business, you … Who do you think I am … So Rintaro, what do you want me to do?」

「I will explain it to you now. Don’t worry, this “current target” is nothing compared to robots!」

Rintaro stood up from the sofa and smiled, the corners of his mouth twisting into a grin.

「I’ll show you what happens when you fight with the heinous mysterious Death Green.」
