"What is that?" Natsumi Hikari looked over, confused.
"Stop discriminating against Fangire who haven't done anything wrong!" The Fangire immediately said in a wronged tone, "I'm going to file a complaint with the Royal Guard!" With that, he walked out the door.
Tsukasa and Natsumi were utterly bewildered. What was all that about?
They quickly followed him out and saw the Fangire approach some children on the street, bending down in front of them.
"Oh no, the children are in danger!" Natsumi's negative impression of Kaijin was hard to shake.
Tsukasa was about to transform and fight, but he saw the Fangire crouch down, and the two children showed no fear whatsoever; they even patted his head.
"Someone was mean to me! They said Fangire aren't allowed in human shops!" He complained, pointing his finger toward Natsumi and Tsukasa in the distance.
"No... that's because..." Natsumi was speechless. This sight completely shattered her perception. Why does a monster look like a vulnerable member of society?
"You shouldn't say things like that. My mommy said we have to get along with the Fangire Tribe," the little girl told Natsumi.
"No way..." Tsukasa was incredulous.
"This world seems a little different," Raven walked up calmly from behind and placed a hand on Natsumi's shoulder.
"Raven-san, how much do you know about this world?" Natsumi immediately looked back at him.
"The monsters and humans in this world are generally coexisting peacefully," Raven said. "However, despite that, there are still some Fangire who can't suppress their nature and attempt to attack humans."
"In any case, let's go take a look." Saying this, he got onto his motorcycle.
Natsumi hesitated no longer and quickly got on behind him. Her arms wrapped around Raven, and her two black-stockinged, beautiful legs were on full display.
It had to be said that thanks to Raven's fashion advice, Natsumi Hikari's clothing taste was no longer as dull as in the original series, which had hidden her good figure and looks. Her super-short hot pants paired with black stockings and high heels radiated charm at every moment.
"I want to see if this world is really like this." Tsukasa was also curious. In this strange world, who would the enemy they needed to defeat be?
Together, they drove toward the vicinity of Castle Doran in the distance.
On the road, Natsumi, tightly holding onto Raven, suddenly remembered what Beroba had told her earlier: to get Raven's attention, she could try seducing him.
Lost in these thoughts, her whole body temperature rose. Her body, pressed against his, involuntarily began to subtly grind against him. Her two beautiful black-stockinged legs, resting on either side of Raven's seat, clenched tightly.
Raven felt Natsumi's abnormal movements behind him. Although he didn't know why she was suddenly doing this, he clearly enjoyed it. He had to admit that among the many Kamen Rider heroines, Natsumi Hikari was the one who captivated him the most. She had the looks and the figure, and she loved wearing stockings, never hesitating to show off her beautiful legs. The only drawback was her disastrous fashion sense in the early days. However, that was no longer an issue after his intervention.
Passing by a long-abandoned villa, they heard the faint strains of a violin. Tsukasa was clearly affected by his designated occupation in this world and immediately stopped. He took out his own violin and began playing by the gate, looking truly like an artist.
As Tsukasa's violin music drifted into the house, a little boy soon walked out. He looked at Tsukasa, who was playing the violin, with some surprise. Raven and Natsumi watched from the side.
"Do you like it? I won't let you listen for free, though," Tsukasa said casually to the little boy.
"What are you saying to a child?" Natsumi walked up from behind, unable to stop herself. She considered stepping forward to apologize.
But Raven held her back. "That child is not human. He's a Fangire."
"Eh?" Natsumi was startled by this revelation.
"So what if I am? Are you scared? You'd better keep your distance from me," the little boy said, instantly adopting a cold expression. He was Wataru Kurenai, the Kiva of this world.
"Children should be polite when talking to adults," Tsukasa put down his violin, his gaze toward Wataru changing. He had sensed something unusual about this place, which was why he had stopped. Sure enough, the person playing the violin inside was a Fangire. But it turned out to be just a child.
"It doesn't matter," Wataru's eyes dimmed slightly. "What do you people know?" He was actually deliberately putting on a standoffish facade. He genuinely wanted to make friends with humans but lacked confidence, fearing he wouldn't be able to control the Fangire instinct to devour human life force.
"Ah!"
Just then, a woman's scream echoed in the distance. Tsukasa immediately ran toward the sound. Natsumi followed right behind. Her black-stockinged, beautiful legs, supported by high heels, moved like a beautiful painting.
Raven silently admired the view for a moment. Her legs were truly incredible. Honestly, if Natsumi had worn black stockings from the start, the ratings for Decade might have been even higher.
"Raven-san, hurry up and follow us!" Natsumi, who had run a short distance, looked back at Raven, who hadn't moved, and complained with a hint of petulance.
"Got it." Before leaving, Raven briefly looked toward a specific direction, then turned and followed.
He had already sensed a very powerful Fangire presence nearby. If he wasn't mistaken, that person was Wataru's father in this world, the former Fangire King.
Unlike the Wataru Kurenai of the main TV series, this parallel world's Wataru had a Fangire father and a human mother. He had been trained to be the new King since childhood. However, due to his lack of self-confidence, he had continually evaded his destiny as King. His father had gone to great lengths to ensure his son successfully accepted the throne, including sacrificing many people, and eventually himself.
