Inside CR.
"Alright, I'm going to sleep. Poppy, you can answer Emu's questions." Li Yu walked straight to his room and immediately fell asleep.
"Huh? Oh, come on!" Poppy stomped her foot in frustration. Then she turned to Emu and said, "That person is Hanaya Taiga."
"Five years ago, the Zero Day incident occurred, where a large number of patients disappeared due to the Bugster Virus infection. This incident was never made public. Li-san, who had just established CR, hadn't finished his own Gashat yet, so Taiga, a radiologist at the time, was appointed as the first Kamen Rider by CR to eliminate Bugsters. But..."
"But Hanaya Taiga violated the Ministry of Health's regulations, acted on his own, and failed, leading to the patient's death! After such a serious medical accident, his medical license was revoked, and he lost his qualification to transform into a Kamen Rider. But now, for some unknown reason, he has a Gamer Driver and Gashat again," Director Kagami Haima said indignantly.
Kagami Hiiro, who had just returned, clenched his fists, his expression constantly changing. Clearly, even though Li Yu's previous words had an impact on him, they still couldn't eliminate his hostility towards Hanaya Taiga.
He had just gone to Genm Corporation to find Dan Kuroto, questioning why he had given the Gamer Driver and Gashat to Hanaya Taiga again, and hoping he would take them back. But Dan Kuroto seemed very satisfied with Hanaya Taiga's performance as a Kamen Rider and rejected Kagami Hiiro's request. It was because he was delayed at Genm Corporation that he missed this surgery. And because Li Yu didn't let Emu interfere, Hanaya Taiga also quickly completed this surgery, which deviated from the original plot. He didn't even get to place a bet, and Hojo Emu couldn't go to Hanaya Taiga's clinic. However, all of this had nothing to do with the sleeping Li Yu.
...Dividing line...
Night, on an unknown rooftop.
"What a grand game!" A handsome young man in plaid clothes said, then fell silent for a moment, "But, that guy also appeared... Not good..."
"Don't worry too much. As a warrior born from 'Dragon Knight Hunter Z,' no matter who the enemy is, I will fight them!"
"..." You also know it's just fighting them? It seems you have some idea if you can win or not.
...Dividing line...
At 7 PM, Li Yu finally woke up from his sleep, sitting up from the bed a bit stiffly.
"System..." Li Yu was in a daze for a while before saying, "Enter the studio."
Entering the studio, Li Yu slowly walked to the shelf, took down a Gashat, went to the workbench, and began to research.
8 AM, CR.
"Huh? Isn't Li-san awake yet?" Poppy refreshed at Li Yu's door on time. "How can he sleep so much...?"
Poppy approached Li Yu, and just as she was about to wake him up, she saw a large note - Developing Gashat until 5 AM, do not disturb...
"Huh?! He's that diligent? Then you should get some good sleep."
12 PM, Seito University Hospital, Pediatric Outpatient Department.
"Phew, finally the last one," Hojo Emu breathed a sigh of relief. "Next, Kujo Kiriya."
"Coming, coming." A lazy male voice sounded, and a man pushed the door open and walked in.
"Huh? Are you Kujo Kiriya's relative?"
"No, I am Kujo Kiriya himself."
"..." Hojo Emu looked at the age column on the medical record, which read 'six years old,' and fell into deep thought.
...Dividing line...
"What do you want from me?" Dan Kuroto looked at the visitor expressionlessly.
"How much longer until my Gashat is finished?"
"I don't know. The current data is simply not enough. If you want it to be finished sooner, then honestly go and collect data, Parado."
"..." Parado was choked by Dan Kuroto's words, briefly silent, then smiled, "In this situation, aren't you worried at all?"
"Not really, not very worried." Dan Kuroto's eyes flickered, "You should be the ones most worried, shouldn't you?"
"You're right. I'll be going now..."
...Dividing line...
"What, Emu, another patient infected with the Bugster Virus has appeared? Okay, we'll be right there!"
"Sumimasen, Li-san. It's really not that I want to disturb your sleep." Poppy put her hands together in front of the sleeping Li Yu. Then a pillow hit Li Yu's head squarely!
"Ah... I wasn't sleeping, I wasn't sleeping... Poppy...!" Li Yu sat up abruptly, then, after a moment of panic, reacted and stared at Poppy with a resentful expression.
"......" Poppy scratched her head apologetically, "Li-san, another Bugster is about to appear......"
"Another Bugster! Can't you let me get some proper sleep for once?" Li Yu changed his clothes, grabbed a jacket, and walked out. "I can't take it anymore. Today, I'll show these Bugsters what's what!"
"Eh?!" Poppy's eyes lit up. Is Li Yu finally not slacking off this time? Anticipating~.
Hojo Emu and Kujo Kiriya's side.
"So he's your colleague?" Hojo Emu glanced at the anxious man beside him. "Mr. Nishiwaki here is infected with game disease. You want me to help treat him?"
"Yes, that's right."
"It's my first time dealing with this situation... But I've already notified my other colleagues to come." As soon as Hojo Emu finished speaking, Poppy's voice sounded from behind him.
"Kujo Kiriya? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, Poppy, you know him too?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, so this is the human host of Ultraman Ginga? Indeed, seeing is believing! By the way, why isn't Ultraman Ginga's Bugster Raguiel?" The awake Li Yu looked at the other party with interest, while Poppy had already begun to introduce the other party to Hojo Emu.
"Kujo Kiriya, a Medical Examiner who investigates unknown causes of death. Three years ago, he discovered the truth of the Zero Day incident. And using that as a condition, he obtained a Gamer Driver and Gashat from Genm Corporation." To be fair, the current Poppy did indeed have some semblance of a Rider Guide, but only a little~.
"Huh? You're already a Kamen Rider, so why do you still need my help?"
"I can't complete the surgery alone."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know in a bit."
"I didn't expect there to be other Kamen Riders besides us." Hanaya Taiga walked out from not far away, hands in his pockets.
"Unlicensed doctor!" Kagami Hiiro had also just arrived. As soon as he saw Hanaya Taiga, his temper flared up.
"Yo, isn't this the young master who returned from abroad? Why are you so worked up?"
"You!"
"Kiriya, shouldn't you treat my game disease first?"
"Don't rush, I'll help you after I test the strength of the Riders."
