"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!???"
The powerful ultrasonic waves from Darkwing created ripples on the surface of the water. Aqua Necklace's scream was just as loud.
"Gnnnnngh...!!"
The ultrasonic waves pierced through my ears even when I covered them. It was a struggle, even though I had expected it. I crouched down and waited for the attack to stop.
After enduring for a while, it finally subsided. I had no sense of time. How long had I been like that?
"Lala, are you okay...?"
When I looked up, Lala was wearing white headphones. Perhaps because she couldn't hear my voice, she tilted her head.
Then, the headphones seemed to be absorbed into her hair ornament, Pekke, and disappeared. It seemed they were made of Pekke's nanomachines.
"Lala, are you alright?"
I asked again.
"Oh, yeah. What was that?"
"It's okay. He's on our side."
I thought to myself how amazing Yami was to use this new weapon so skillfully.
I was thinking back to when we had made our plan.
---------
"This is..."
I was groaning as I looked at the new ability I had obtained.
Zikan Girade Enhanced Parts
The enhanced parts for the Zikan Girade, Kamen Rider Zi-O's personal weapon.
If you have the Ride Watch of the main Rider of that series, you can use the Zikan Girade to grant that Rider's armor to another person.
Kamen Rider Knight Transformation Set
A set pack of Knight's Card Deck and Ride Watch.
It can be used if you have the Ryuki Ride Watch.
So this means I can grant a Rider's power to other people, right? It's an insane enhancement part that allows me to grant abilities depending on the situation.
And on top of that, the Knight Transformation Set appeared as if to say, "Please use me." Since I already had the Ryuki Ride Watch, I could now transform into Knight, right?
Rather than having them come along with me normally, wouldn't it be better for them to wait in the Mirror World and take the enemy by surprise?
"What's wrong?"
Yami tilted her head, noticing my gaze. Or should I have looked at Mea? I just looked at Yami out of habit.
Since I also had the Ryuki Watch, it might not be a bad idea to have both of them wait in the Mirror World.
"Hm? What is it?"
"Oh, well..."
I explained it to the two of them.
"I see... but there's no need for both of us to hide in the same place."
"Yeah. I'll keep watch in this world. To see if there are any other enemies."
"Then I'll put a Replica-sensei on you for communication."
"Oh, how cute!! What is this!?"
"I'm counting on you."
"You too."
A small Replica attached itself to Mea, and they exchanged greetings.
"Alright, let's go with that."
KNIGHT
I activated the Watch. I took out the Zikan Girade in Gun Mode and set the Watch in it. I pointed the muzzle at Yami.
"Here I go, Yami."
"Please."
"Pfft."
What was that?
Mea suddenly burst out laughing.
"N-nothing! Yeah, it's nothing."
"..."
It didn't look like nothing. Look, Yami had a question mark floating over her head, too.
"(Big sister, you're too defenseless even when a gun is pointed at you! Even if it's Shou-kun, shouldn't you be a little more cautious? Does this mean you trust him that much?)"
She was shaking with laughter, holding her stomach, but if she said it was nothing, I wouldn't worry about it.
"Then, again."
"Yes."
"It might tickle a little?"
I pulled the trigger.
ARMOR TIME!
ADVENT! KNIGHT!
Armor was equipped all over Yami's body. It was similar to the familiar Knight's armor. But it was only Armor Time, not a full transformation. As proof, she had a Knight-like mask... or a hat? A hair ornament? It was attached.
The image was closer to a 'Rider Girl.'
"Hmm..."
Once the equipment was complete, Yami tested her movement.
"Alright, Yami, I'll briefly explain how to use it in detail."
---------
"I have no good memories of the mirror world or Stands, but..."
Remembering the explanation from back then, Yami looked at the surface of the pool. Reflected in the water was a mass of water with limbs and a face, Kirin captured by it, and Shou.
Yami drew a card from her own Card Deck.
"For the 'scream,' it's this one. For 'clones,' it's this one..."
According to Shou's explanation, she could display various abilities depending on the card. They had also decided on a special phrase for each one.
Shou, who knew more about the abilities, would give instructions based on the situation.
Yami just stayed hidden and waited for Shou's instructions. As a professional assassin, Yami had no hesitation in taking the enemy by surprise.
Right now, Shou was stalling to gather as much information as possible.
"But still, to think the enemy was a Stand user... Is it too much of a coincidence that they attacked at this time? Or..."
Yami was lost in her own thoughts.
"Of course, I refuse."
"Sigh, you really are something..."
On the other side of the water, Shou was refusing Aqua Necklace's demand. Yami shook her head, sighing at his uncalculated, immediate response.
She had thought Shou would definitely refuse, but his answer was so predictable that it made her want to laugh.
"...No, I should be on guard."
Noticing her own face was smiling in the water's reflection, Yami tensed her mouth and forcibly hardened her expression.
At that moment, she caught sight of a person in the corner of her eye.
"!! Why is Princess Lala here...!"
Even Yami was surprised by the unexpected intruder. She had noticed her climbing over the fence even faster than Shou did.
At the same time, she reached for her Summoner, the 'Dark Visor.' She opened the card slot, ready to take action at any moment.
With this happening, there was no time to leisurely gather information. As if in sync with that thought, Shou gave a signal.
"Yami, the 'scream'!!"
"(The scream is... this one!!)"
On the other side of the water, Shou and Lala had joined up. Then there shouldn't be a problem.
Following Shou's instructions, she loaded the card.
NASTY VENT
An electronic sound rang out. At the same time, Darkwing flew from out of nowhere.
"Go."
At that voice, Darkwing dove into the pool. But there was no splash. It hadn't plunged into the water, but had gone to the 'other world' using the water's surface as a mirror.
"—!!"
I could hear Darkwing's cry. To Yami, who was transformed into Knight, it was just a cry, but to Shou and Aqua Necklace, it was a sound so unpleasant it felt like their skulls were cracking.
The effect was fully unleashed.
"Well then, me too."
Yami muttered, then dove into the pool, and into the other world.
---------
"Shou Yozuki!!"
Darkwing's 'Nasty Vent' was over, and Yami flew out of the pool. She then hovered in the air with her transformation trance.
I shouted what I wanted most to Yami.
"Yami, a shield!"
"!! Yes!"
Yami froze for a second, but then immediately used a new card.
GUARD VENT
An electronic sound rang out. Darkwing, which was flying in the air, overlapped with Yami's body. Then Darkwing turned into a black cloak that wrapped around Yami's body.
"Wh-what are you—ngh!?"
In the meantime, I fired the steel balls in rapid succession. I did it to separate him from Kirin. I used the rotational energy to control the flow of the water.
"This... this guy!"
Aqua Necklace showed a look of panic at this fact. There was very little of his body left that was connected to the pool.
"Wrap him up, Yami!"
At the same time as my words, I fired the last steel ball. The rotational energy blew away the last part of his body connected to the pool.
In the brief moment before Aqua Necklace's main body fell into the pool,
"(Damn it!! To think I'd be separated from the hostage. But it's not a problem!! If I hide in the pool, I'm invincible! I'll kill that woman who came out of the water too—no, maybe it's better to run away for now?)"
I don't know what Aqua Necklace was thinking, but it was all for nothing.
A black cloth was inserted between the water's surface and Aqua Necklace. The true identity of the cloth was the Guard Vent that Yami had created. She detached Darkwing, which had been worn as a cape on her back, and caught Aqua Necklace.
And by the time Yami landed on the poolside,
"Phew—"
Yami's hair, which had transformed into a hand, skillfully tied the cloak into a knot.
"—!! —!!"
"Wh-what is this thing!? D-damn it, I can't get out...!?"
Darkwing, protesting that its wings had been tied, and Aqua Necklace, who couldn't escape due to his weak power, were making a ruckus.
I could hear the water splashing around inside the bag, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out. I had completely captured him.
"Is this okay?"
"Yeah, that's amazing."
Her actions completely read my intentions. Seeing her like this makes me feel like she's used to these things.
The Guard Vent, which was being held by Yami's transformed hair-hand, looked like a black garbage bag.
"That's right! Kirin!"
I quickly looked at the pool. The completely limp Kirin was still floating on the surface. Without hesitation, I went into the pool, pulled her to the poolside, and checked on her safety.
"Thank goodness..."
She wasn't injured at all. Her clothes weren't disheveled, so she hadn't been assaulted. Besides, he was a guy who would negotiate with a Stand. It was more likely that he hadn't even come to the scene in person.
"Shou Yozuki. What should we do with this?"
"Right. I want you to swing it around as hard as you can."
"Huh? Understood."
Just as I said, her transformed hair-hand began to move wildly. Aqua Necklace, who was inside, must have been hit with the same amount of G's as an acrobatic stunt plane.
"GABAHHHHHHAAAAA!?"
I heard a weird voice from somewhere.
"What was that?"
"The Stand user's main body. Mea, can you hear me?"
I used the Replica near Mea to communicate.
"Yeah. I can hear you~? I heard a weird voice, should I go check it out?"
"I want you to. Be careful, though, because the Stand user's main body is probably there."
"Okay, I'm going~."
The communication ended.
"She's so carefree..."
I think she'll be okay since the Replica can contact me if anything happens. Should I go too? I have to see what kind of person he is.
"Yami—"
"SHOU—!!"
"Oof!?"
Just as I was about to call out to Yami, a considerable impact and an unbelievably soft object attacked my body. Because it was a surprise attack, my body swayed.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa...!"
I barely managed to keep my footing on the edge of the poolside. If I hadn't been able to, I would have fallen right into the pool.
"Whoa!! What was that all of a sudden?"
"THANK YOUUUU—!! SHOUUUU—!!"
"La-Lala!? H-hey, don't get so wild!!"
The one who jumped on me was Lala, who I had left alone until now. She tackled me with her whole body and held me tightly. She was showing her gratitude with her whole body as if she had no shame.
"Well, you did well. I'll praise you."
"O-oh."
Even Pekke praised me.
All the while, Lala's embrace didn't stop.
Two globes bounced against my chest. They were so soft, even through our clothes! Is it... okay, all of this?!
"I'm sorry to interrupt your fun, but what should we do next?"
"Ah, right..."
Yami, still holding Aqua Necklace, was giving me a stern look.
"Yami, just keep him captured like that. Oh, and shake the bag once in a while."
"The damage to the Stand is transferred to the user, right?"
"Yeah. Even if we can't damage him, the shock from being shaken will be transferred, so he won't be able to move."
"Understood. Don't worry about Kirin Toudou and the princess. Go ahead."
"Thanks. I'll be going. And Lala, I want you to tell Zastin about this."
"Oh, okay! Right!"
I glanced at Lala, who was taking out her D-Dial, and headed in the direction of the voice I had heard.
