Chapter 39: Kamen Rider Kuuga
Chapter 39 Kuuga - Kamen Rider
"What is Kamen Rider?"
Yusuke Godai asked curiously.
Kawahara paused for a moment when he heard the question, and then he realized that there seemed to be no such thing as "Kamen Rider" in this world.
Although "Kuga" is indeed a hero like Kamen Rider, he is only recognized as an "unconfirmed life form" here.
Therefore, facing Yusuke Godai's seeking gaze.
Kawahara fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he actually has no idea what "Kamen Rider" is.
After all, by the time we knew about it, this type of hero was already called "Masked Rider", and I had no idea how else to explain it.
Kamen Rider is Kamen Rider!
What else could it be?
"Mr. Kawahara?"
But Godai Yusuke looked genuinely interested.
Kawahara thought for a moment and said, "Maybe... a knight who fights the enemy in an unknown place with an unknown face to protect people's future and dreams? - I think Kuuga is probably such an existence."
After hearing this, Yusuke Godai widened his eyes, and then as if he realized something, his eyes became clearer and brighter.
"To protect people's future and dreams...Is that so! So this is 'Masked Rider'?"
Yusuke Godai smiled brightly.
He said happily: "Then - I am 'Kamen Rider Kuuga'!"
——Kamen Rider Kuuga!
Hearing this name from the mouth of "Kuga" himself, Kawahara's heart was slightly shaken, as if some indescribable warm emotion was slowly flowing through his body.
He looked at Yusuke Godai, whose eyes were full of hope, then lowered his head slightly and touched the green stone in his pocket.
Kamen Rider...
Kawahara was silent for a while with an unclear expression, then he collected his thoughts and took out his cell phone to check the time.
He then said to Godai Yusuke, "There shouldn't be anything else to do here, so I'll go back to work. Also, I have something else tonight, so I might be back late."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Godai Yusuke was stunned for a moment: "You are very busy at work, but..."
"what happened?"
Kawahara saw that he seemed to be in trouble.
Godai Yusuke scratched his head and said, "Today is my birthday... A birthday is the day a person is born, so let's celebrate in the store tonight!"
Godai Yusuke paused for a moment, then looked at Kawahara and asked curiously, "By the way, did people have birthdays in ancient times?"
"Roughly the same……"
Kawahara wasn't quite sure whether there was such a symbolic day in ancient times, and he never expected that today would be Godai Yusuke's birthday.
Because the word "birthday" is really far away.
After all, since I left home to go to college, the so-called "birthday" has begun to fade from my life, and sometimes I even forget that day.
"When is Mr. Kawahara's birthday?" asked Yusuke Godai at this time.
"..."
Kawahara actually took some time to think about his birthday: "Using the date here, it should be July 26th, right?"
Godai Yusuke smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it!"
Kawahara also said: "In this case, I will try to come back early tonight."
After all, it is Kamen Rider Kuuga's birthday.

……
08:55pm.
Jiangdong District.
Kawahara did have something to do in the evening, but it wasn't work.
The test tracker was speeding on a deserted road at night. When it was about to pass a bridge, Kawahara suddenly made a sharp drift and turned onto it.
He parked his motorcycle under the opposite bridge and walked to an industrial residential area facing the harbor.
After Kawahara glanced around, he looked at one of the apartment buildings.
He took out the green stone from his coat pocket, looked at it, and smiled, then walked upstairs.
The apartment that was targeted was only half-open and not locked. Kawahara pushed the door open easily. It was dark inside and the layout of the room did not have much of a living atmosphere.
There are many books here.
They are piled up on wall bookshelves, tables and even on the floor, looking like they were just randomly placed there after being collected.
Kawahara picked up a book on the table that seemed to have been read recently.
——"Guns, Germs, and Steel".
The evolution and development of human civilization have always been closely related to the contemporary living environment.
There was no war between the Lindo in the super ancient times.
Perhaps it was because the tribes were far apart, or perhaps their exploration of the environment had not yet reached the level of causing a war for survival.
This room is almost full of books like this one, filled with an unknown life form's curiosity, research and exploration of human civilization.
Kawahara flipped through the book casually, then put down the book in his hand, walked to the window and opened it.
He looked up.
In the dark night, a figure outlined by moonlight appeared in the sky opposite. It was not standing on any tall building, but was floating in the sky with a pair of wings spread out with the moonlight on its back.
After seeing the person appearing at the window, the figure in the air did not stay for long. It flapped its wings, turned around and prepared to leave.
Kawahara rubbed his chin with interest.
"Birdman?"
Golden lightning flashed in the dark room.
As the Aguru belt appeared, the handlebar in Kawahara's hand turned into a Titan Sword, and then instantly transformed into a Pegasus Crossbow.
With a smile on his face, he fired a crossbow arrow directly at the birdman that was quickly flying away.
call out--
The golden crossbow arrow instantly pierced through half of the birdman's wings. A sharp scream seemed to be heard in the air, and then the figure fell vertically from the air and disappeared on the other side of the opposite high-rise building.
After a while—“Boom!”
A deafening explosion was heard from the harbor across the street, and a streak of flame dyed the sky in the darkness, announcing that something unusual had broken the tranquility of the night.
This will probably allow Xun Ichijo to work the night shift again.
Watching the decaying smell disappearing over there, Kawahara put down the Pegasus crossbow in his hand, and his face, outlined by the residual light in the darkness, showed no fluctuations.
sizzle...
The Yaguru belt around his waist flashed with electric light, like an out-of-control electronic tool, flickering unsteadily, and it took a long time before it slowly stopped.
There was a slight tingling sensation in the body as the energy was released.
Kawahara used the ultimate power to seal the energy. He suppressed his instinct to avoid danger, and the Aguru Spirit Stone responded to his fighting spirit.
After transforming the Pegasus crossbow back into a handlebar and putting it in his pocket, Kawahara looked at the time and immediately left the apartment.
——B1 probably guessed that he would find the scent of her lingering, so he did not return to this place by himself, but chose to send a Gurongi to deliver (investigate) the death (detective).
So now that you're here, don't leave.
Baluba was right, he was hunting Gurongi, and he would not stop.
But he didn't think he was the same as Gurongi.
