Chapter 4
Tendou Always Feels Like Someone Is Talking Behind His Back
The matter was resolved perfectly. The Org was defeated, and Gao Giraffe was found.
Canceling their transformations, the Gao Rangers, Kai, and Tong Xin all walked toward Kabuto.
"Big brother, you're so amazing!"
Kai looked at Kabuto with admiration. Not only was his combat power top-tier, but his way of speaking was also incredibly cool.
"Um, Tendou-san... Thank you."
While the kid might not have sensed it, Gao Red could feel that this Rider seemed a bit difficult to get along with.
Kabuto nodded at the Gao Rangers and walked toward the glass of the fishing boat.
"Um, can you stay for a meal? Tetomu's cooking is really good. Of course... if you have something important to do, then next time."
Gao White mustered up her courage and called out.
She felt that the Kamen Riders had helped them so many times. Before, they hadn't had the chance, but now that they could talk, they had to express their gratitude. Plus, if they ate together, wouldn't they get to see the Kamen Rider's true face?
Plan success!
Hearing Gao White's words, Kabuto stopped but did not reply.
Because of his silence, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Gao White felt anxious. *Did I make him angry?*
Tong Xin, watching the anxious Gao White from the side, curled his lips slightly. *What a polite child!*
With a roll of his eyes, Tong Xin controlled Kabuto to speak.
The Gao Rangers heard the Kabuto in front of them suddenly speak in an extremely gentle voice:
"Juka, it's time to go home. I need to go back and prepare dinner."
Saying this, in Tong Xin's system space, the Kabuto Card flashed, and Kabuto walked directly into the mirror in front of him.
"Juka? After school? It must be his younger sister. No way!"
"No... No way."
Could it be that Kabuto, this aloof Mr. Tendou, was actually a sister-con!
Hearing that gentle voice, it seemed to be an extremely severe case!

Inside the underground Matrix.
Shuten had completely "digested" the Yacht Org.
The principle of the Kabuto series' Rider Kick was to strike tachyons into the enemy's body to cause atomic collapse.
Normally, an enemy hit by this move would completely vanish from this world.
But Orgs were a miraculous race. After being defeated, they would enter a green foamy state.
This state was like being knocked down in PUBG.
Within a certain timeframe, there was a chance to resurrect them into giants.
But if too much time passed, they would "bleed out" and die completely.
For example, the Turbine Org and Plasma Org in Chapter 3.
The reason Shuten didn't let TsueTsue resurrect the Yacht Org was because in this state, the Yacht Org's body still retained the residual tachyon particles from the strike.
Speaking of waves and vibrations, Orgs considered themselves experts.
After all, Orgs were entities manifested from evil thoughts and negative vibrations floating in the world.
This was also why they were called "Oni" in the past.
What Shuten did was use his own demonic energy waves to analyze and simulate the residual vibrations, then perform a reverse operation to convert the vibrations back into particles, creating his own super-acceleration particles.
If it were another Rider's Rider Kick, or if the Org didn't have this unique trait, it would be absolutely impossible to reverse-engineer a Rider's power like this.
"Lord Shuten, why did you just..." TsueTsue asked in confusion.
"Hahaha, no need to care so much. It's just an Org. Rest assured, soon no one will be able to stop us."
Having obtained what he wanted, Shuten was clearly in a much better mood, even speaking a bit more.
Although TsueTsue and Yabaiba were still very puzzled—why was Lord Shuten so happy when they had clearly failed?—since Lord Shuten said so, they just had to follow his footsteps.

Late at night, Tong Xin dragged out a lounge chair and lay leisurely in the courtyard, carefully absorbing the memories transmitted to him by the Kabuto Card.
After a clone dispersed, all of its experiences would feed back to Tong Xin, including memories, physical fatigue, and so on.
"What a wonderful experience," Tong Xin opened his eyes and sighed. If he summoned a Rider clone to spar with himself, wouldn't he gain double the combat experience simultaneously?
The physical exhaustion would be immense, but for Tong Xin, whose physical body was growing stronger by the day, it was completely acceptable.
He didn't miss Tetomu's meal either; Tong Xin himself had accepted the invitation.
He had to admit, it was indeed a dish that could captivate a High Highness. Not only was it delicious, but it could also rapidly replenish physical strength.
No wonder the Gao Rangers bounced back just a few days after being injured.
Of course, after the meal, Tong Xin took the opportunity to have Gao Bison pack some Holy Spring water for him.
Looking up at the starry sky, Tong Xin stretched.
"Ah~ System, let's do a card draw."
"Drawing Card... Obtained Kamen Rider Card!"
"Oh?!"
Tong Xin shed his lazy expression and looked at a red light appearing in his hand. As the light faded, a grey-and-black card was revealed.
It was another Primary Rider Card, and an incredibly popular one at that.
This Rider on the card could only be transformed into by an Orphnoch—a monster born from a deceased human.
Using the "Faiz Phone," entering the transformation code, closing it, and inserting it into the "Faiz Driver" would initiate the transformation.
With its metallic feel, high-tech design, and a transformation method that felt fresh, it remained timeless even over a decade later.
Aside from his design, Faiz had another point that people loved to talk about: his signature combat gestures, like shaking his wrist, his delinquent squat, and so on.
Although he only had three forms, each had its own unique charm.
Especially in his Axel Form, he could move at a thousand times his normal speed. Although it only lasted for 10 seconds—exceeding which would cause his body to collapse—10 seconds at a thousand times speed was enough to do a lot of things. Furthermore, in this form, his Rider Kick finisher, the Crimson Smash, cost nothing.
As long as you could handle it, you could spam the finisher infinitely, just like Takumi did in *Paradise Lost*, executing a magnificent 12-hit combo.
"Not bad. I have four Primary Rider Cards now, but I still need to keep working hard."
Putting the Faiz Card back into the system space, Tong Xin gradually drifted to sleep under the starlight. With his current physical fitness, catching a cold was out of the question.

Today, Gao Yellow picked up a wallet that Gao Red had dropped.
Gao Blue snatched it away and smirked, "I've wanted to open this and look inside for a long time. Wow, so pretty!"
Inside the wallet was a photo of a beautiful woman holding a dog.
Everyone heard this and immediately crowded around. Even Tetomu, who was standing by the Holy Spring observing the Animarium, craned her long neck to sneak a peek.
Gossip whispered.
Gao Black: "Whoa! This is a real beauty."
Gao White snatched the wallet back and said enviously, "This must be Red's lover. How nice, I want a lover too!"
Gao White held the wallet, spinning around with a silly grin, as if she could already see herself falling in love with a Prince Charming.
Just then, Tetomu suddenly said, "Everyone, there's an evil vibration. The location is in the eastern district of the city."
Gao Red walked over just in time. Hearing this, he said nervously, "The eastern district? That's where I used to live!"
