Chapter 1
World, 2018
"Haah- so boring."
"Ara-ara Tsukasa, you've been lying in a chair all day, haven't you?"
A man wearing a red checkered shirt suddenly came and said a few words to me.
"Ah-- be lazy, I don't want to do any activities, including taking pictures."
Yep, seriously, with the daily life that I usually do, it seems that boredom is starting to arise in my mind. Maybe that's not why either.
"Oy- oy- oy, don't you remember what your job is in this world? Also, you didn't see the strange wall outside, did you?"
Again, he refutes my argument? Ah never mind....
"Haah- Yusuke, calm down, I guarantee, the wall out there will not bring any problems that will burden our mission, okay?" After saying that, I chose to get up, walked towards the corner of the room, where a tapestry depicting a strange wall was displayed very clearly.
Strange? Maybe this is a suitable description of this picture. How could it not be? In the large tapestry, two giant gray walls are depicted, appearing to be facing each other.
This was even stranger when I saw the shape, truly strange.
The walls or fences that I always see have something in common, namely they have a pattern. Not this time, the wall looks like it was drawn by a strange artist, perhaps.
Ah-- I forgot, the man in the checkered shirt is none other than Yusuke Godai, or commonly known as Kamen Rider Kuuga. Well... technically he was following us on our trip.
"A strange wall, with an unclear pattern, with red at the top..." Slowly my hands began to touch the picture of the tapestry, it was really rough.
"World Build, huh?"
That's right, right now, we are traveling to another world, and the world we are visiting is the place where Kamen Rider Build was born.
----------------
"Hmmm-?" Still paying attention to the picture of the wall on the tapestry, without realizing it, my mind began to fall into reverie.
"Tsukasa?" Astonished to see that I was silent without a sound, Yusuke then came closer and grabbed my left shoulder.
"Haah- what exactly is my job here?" I turned around, let go of Yusuke's grip on my shoulder, then walked a few steps forward.
"Isn't it obvious?"
Damn, my footsteps stopped. Who the hell was the person who just spoke?
"Ara? Natsumi-?" As soon as my body turned around, a woman with black hair, with long hair reaching both shoulders, was now standing behind the door of the house.
The woman's name was Natsumi, Natsumi Hikari to be more precise. By the way, the house I currently live in is his house. I understand?
Beautiful... maybe the right description for her. How come? Slender body posture, wearing a blue shirt makes him look like a high class model, maybe if the shopping items in his right hand could be removed, I would think like before, genuine.
"Tsukasa, remember your duty here." After saying one sentence, Natsumi then walked towards the back, intending to put away the shopping items in her hand.
Eits, and again... earlier Yusuke, now you're cornering me too?
"Natsumi, you're the same as Yusuke, aren't you?" After a few moments of looking at him, I had a good idea, it's better to lie down on a chair than walk aimlessly, right?
"Huh? What do you mean? What's more, don't you remember what that person said?" After putting away her luggage, Natsumi said as she stepped closer to me.
Yes... for a moment my mind wandered, landing on the face of someone I had previously met.
A man with white skin, long hair that reaches his earlobes, and has something like a flying bat is a description of the young man.
Well... he was one of the Riders who ordered me to travel to the 9 worlds, and now he is asking me to continue the journey?
Kampr*ts are people.
OK... first I will tell you why we arrived in the world of Build.
A few days ago....
Checkers
Check- check- check- check-
"Fumu? Here's your photo."
Taking photos is my favorite, really, there is nothing more fun than taking pictures of the scenery or people around me. At least that's what is written clearly in my mind.
My days are quite enjoyable. Taking photos in different places certainly makes my eyes endlessly express gratitude.
This time, I was in a park. The size itself is not too big, seriously, it's just that the cool garden atmosphere and the gentle breeze with every step I take will certainly make anyone feel at home for a long time.
However....
"Excuse me, are you a traveling photographer?" A woman with short brown hair patted my shoulder twice.
Height? Maybe 180 or so, I don't know... that's just my guess
"Ah-- yes, you could say that."
No-no, I don't mean to be arrogant, because what I said is the truth.
"A-so-so... please take a photo of me at that place, please." The woman pointed to a quiet place there. Hmm... he likes silence, huh?
"Ready to implement." Without saying much, I walked forward accompanied by him.
Ahh... the beautiful scenery around. I would really like to build a house near here, if possible.
Well, even if it's just a hope...
"Um---"
"Hmmm?" While I was happily reverieing, the woman beside me suddenly cleared her throat softly. Even though it's small, the sound can still be heard.
"Why? Any problem?"
"Huh? No, no, it's nothing."
Strange, for some reason I felt like he was hiding something, I don't know. Maybe it's just my hunch.
"Okay, it's here, so where do you want your photo taken?" I asked.
"Umh--- emh...."
"Ah- there."
Woman, my client asked to be photographed in one of the banyan trees in the back.
Fumu-? Is it true that a woman asked to take a picture from there? Eh, but what do I care? It's better to continue with my work.
"Get ready, you take a pose first," I said inviting him to go there.
"O-okay."
Agreeing, the woman then ran over to a banyan tree. I? Of course, prepare the camera first. Yes, when I want to take a photo, the picture is blurry/unclear. It's not funny.
"Well, that's better."
"Okay, pose as best as possible," I said while aiming the camera at him.
"Y-yes...."
Does his tone sound so nervous? I don't know, I don't care.
While my eyes focused on the camera lens, someone suddenly appeared and said,
"Decade, your journey is still not over."
That person, judging from his appearance and face, there is no mistake that he is the person who ordered me to wander the 9 worlds. Now what advice is he giving me?
"Yeah, yeah, I know!" I answered as I stopped taking photos, then looked left and right.
"K-know what?" Areh?
I felt like I saw a man in my lens, but why...
Leaving that aside, what should I answer? Having a conversation without triggers? I might think that woman is crazy.
"No, it's not you I mean-"
Graaaaaaaa-!!!
"Hmmm?" Me and the woman beside me now have one thought.
"Did you hear that sound just now?"
Just about to ask, did he ask first? Women are different.
"Ho'oh, it feels like the sound is coming from-" About to look up at the bright ceiling, my eyes widened when I saw a black dragon now hovering below the surface of the clouds.
"H-big."
"What's with the reaction-" Overcome by curiosity, the woman next to me said while also tilting her head up.
"B-b-b- waaaaaa-!!" Before he could finish his words, he immediately screamed very loudly when he saw a dragon flying above the surface of the air.
"Hmmmmmm-?!!!"
Stupid, can't your voice be lowered, can you? F*ck....
Because the screams sounded like people during a concert, the strange dragon focused its gaze on the two of us.
(Like a predator targeting prey, the dragon above then responded to the woman's scream by speeding towards the two of us)
"Kyaaaaaaaaaa-!!!"
"It's bad-"
How? How in-
(In just 3 seconds, the dragon had covered quite a distance, until it was only a few meters away from hitting us both)
Damn, why is he going so fast? If-
Duarrrrrrrrr
Why would anyone dare to mess around anyway? Hadeh... the muttering had not yet been resolved properly, an explosion suddenly occurred around where we were standing.
