Chapter 189 I Like Agito
late at night.
Okamura Kana opened her eyes as if awakened by a start.
It's a strange ceiling.
She quickly sat up from the bed, looked around in the dim light, and found that this seemed to be a girl's room.
Kana Okamura still remembers what she did this afternoon. She met an angel and then became the person she saw in the mirror yesterday.
--monster.
After sitting there for a while in a depressed mood, Kana Okamura stood up, opened the door and walked out, and found that this seemed to be the second floor of the PolePole Cafe.
Opposite this room is where the jade shop manager is taking a rest.
It should be late at night now. The door of the room opposite is closed and the other party is obviously sleeping.
Kana Okamura heard faint voices downstairs, so she tiptoed to the stairs and saw a man sitting at the front desk with his back to her, talking on the phone.
"Yeah, it might be a little troublesome..."
"Don't worry."
"It's just an insurance policy. I'll trouble you when the time comes."
"That's not necessary..."
"..."
After Kawahara ended the call, he turned his head and looked at Kana Okamura who appeared in the corridor, and smiled slightly.
"You're awake. It's late now. You can rest in the store for a night."
Kawahara paused for a moment and said, "By the way, that room belongs to the girl who used to stay here, so you can use it without worry."
There are only two normal rooms on the second floor of PolePole Cafe, which are the resting places for the store manager Shi Yu and Minoru Goshiro.
As for Godai Yusuke's room...
His room was simply converted from an attic.
Anyway, that guy often wanders outside, so it doesn't matter what the room is like, even though Kawahara also lives there now.
Kana Okamura stood at the stairs without saying a word, but her expression looked a little gloomy.
"I……"
She seemed to be hesitant about what to say.
Kawahara smiled again and said, "Don't think too much. You should have met another Agito like you today. I will take you to meet him tomorrow. He is a guy with special abilities!"
——Although the other party had been scared away before.
However, Shoichi Tsugami's condition seemed to be much better this afternoon, and he seemed to want to continue communicating with him.
Finally, all these Agitos are gathered together!
Moreover, whether it is Ashihara Ryo or Tsugami Shoichi, although they both have various character weaknesses, they are basically people who can stand on their own.
No matter how conflicted Shoichi Tsugami is, he has to fight monsters when he meets an angel.
No matter how confused or painful Awihara Ryo is, he will transform when he encounters someone being attacked.
It would be great if these two people could serve as role models for the vast number of "forces of light" that are about to awaken!
After these three people got to know each other...
Next, it’s time to contact the people on the Dawn.
……
……
So the next morning.
Kawahara asked for leave from the jewelry store manager again and prepared to take Kana Okamura out.
However, as soon as the two of them went out, they saw a red and white motorcycle parked not far from the PolePole Cafe, and Ashihara Ryo leaning against the motorcycle.
Kawahara raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw him.
Although he had thought a little bit about the possibility of this guy drowning in the safe zone yesterday, it seems now that there is no need to worry too much!
This guy won't die even if everyone around him dies!
Awihara Ryo had been keeping an eye on the cafe. When he saw them appear, he paused, then walked over.
He looked a little hesitant and sincere: "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday!"
Oh, you came to apologize. Kawahara crossed his arms and said, "It's nothing, it's just that you can't control your power when you first transform. Miss Okamura was in the same situation as you yesterday. You'll get used to it next time."
Hearing this, Awihara Ryo looked at Okamura Kana in surprise. The latter looked embarrassed and said, "Awihara-kun has transformed too?"
Ashihara Ryo nodded. "I've transformed before, but I didn't have a complete transformation at those times. It was more like a strange transformation as if I was still growing. But yesterday... I felt like I could control the transformation."
When he said the latter part, he looked at Kawahara again - it seemed like he was influenced by this person yesterday.
"I see..." Kana Okamura nodded.
"Are you ready to go out?" Awihara Ryo looked at them and asked again.
"Get ready to go to the first Agito who appears. He is also the most fully evolved individual. You should get to know each other a little bit. Maybe you will team up to fight monsters together in the future." Kawahara said.
After hearing this, Kana Okamura hesitated to speak.
And Awihara Ryo refused directly: "No, I don't really like to hang out with others, you can just go by yourselves."
Kawahara looked at him and said, "Your evolution is destined to require help from others. It is very hard to fight alone. I have helped you once, but I may not be able to help you a second time."
Awihara Ryo frowned when he heard this.
He suddenly looked at Kawahara strangely and asked, "I don't understand why you are helping us like this? According to what you said, if you were not Agito, those angels would not attack you, right?"
Kawahara paused slightly after hearing this.
And Ashihara Ryo continued, "I don't really know much about the [Unconfirmed Lifeform Incident] two years ago. I took a look at the old news last night and heard that Black 2 and 4 were both warriors who hunted unconfirmed lifeforms. Do you regard angels and unconfirmed lifeforms as the same existence?"
It's hard for Awihara Ryo to go out of his way to get some more information.
At this time, he also asked the question that Okamura Kana was most concerned about -
"Then what is the difference between us Agitos who can also transform and the unconfirmed life forms? Why are you helping us so much?"
——Why are you so afraid of becoming a monster?
Because the disaster that swept Tokyo two years ago was caused by a [monster].
And now I have become something similar.
It's chilling just to think about it.
Kawahara looked at the two people who had fallen silent on his left and right, and for the first time he felt that the Metropolitan Police Department had made the right decision for its own benefit - sealing the first wearer of the G1 armor from becoming Gurongi's information.
Otherwise, this group of people would probably still be suspicious and wonder if they had also turned into Gurongi.
Kawahara sighed and said, "Don't be so self-deprecating. You are still different from Gurongi. The reason why I want to help you is very simple - I like Agito very much."
"……Eh?"
This simple answer stunned Awihara Ryo.
What does it mean to like Agito?
Is he interested in their awakened super powers, or in the transformed "Agito"? ——Ashihara Ryo was puzzled.
Is it a pervert to still like him after he becomes like that? Or is this Black No. 2? — Kana Okamura’s imagination.
That's Kamen Rider Agito! ——Kawahara's thoughts.
"Besides, the battle between Agito and the angels may affect the future of this world. I don't want the world I live in to be in chaos. There are too many things to protect here. Of course, it would be best if it could become my ideal world."
Kawahara raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and under the astonished gaze of the two, the Ultimate Tracker drove out from the backyard by itself.
After getting in the car, he continued, "Besides, it would be better for you to get to know each other first, so that you won't be mistaken for each other through the suits. After all, you will be a three-man team protecting this world in the future!"
Awihara Ryo: “…”
After Kana Okamura awkwardly put on her helmet and sat in the back seat, Kawahara simply stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
Looking at the black figure speeding away, Awihara Ryo pursed his lips, but still followed on his motorcycle.
……
So on a sunny morning.
Shoichi Tsugami, who was working hard to pull radishes in the vegetable garden, suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle and turned around. He was caught off guard and stared at the other two "Agitos" who were sent over.
"……Eh?"
The soil under his feet suddenly became loose, and Tsugami Sho, who was pulling out the radish with all his strength, staggered backwards and sat down on the ground.
He looked at the three people outside the fence in a daze, and finally fixed his eyes on the smiling Kawahara.
