"Hmm? ...What in the world...?"
As the light of the warp faded, Yukina found herself lying down. The sensation on her back was that of a hard carpet. She was on the ground.
Above her was a pleasant human warmth. Someone was on top of her.
Her own breasts were being squashed by breasts with a greater mass than her own. Before her was the awe-inspiring face of Lala. Her skin was so clear and close that Yukina could tell it was perfectly smooth.
"(Lala-san, you're so beautiful...)"
Even for a woman, Lala's beauty was breathtaking. Yukina could feel her entire body pressed against her own.
"(So soft and warm...)"
And she felt an odd breeze.
"Wait, WHAT!?"
Yukina finally realized that she was naked.
And she also realized where she was.
"Hehe, we made it!"
"Ah! I'm so sorry!"
Yukina jumped up and clung to a curtain.
Shaaaaa! The curtain slid along its rail, shutting off the small room from the outside world. Only then could she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ugh, what is this...!"
Yukina looked down at herself and blushed a deep red. She was wearing not a single stitch of clothing—not her uniform, not even her underwear.
Looking down, she saw two small, perky mounds. Turning around, the large mirror on the wall reflected her back, which was turning red with shame, and even her bottom.
Lowering her gaze slightly, she saw Lala sitting cross-legged, tilting her head innocently.
"This is a fitting room, right...?"
"A fitting room? You mean this small room? I warped us to the store I was talking about, anyway!"
"What! ...Why are we naked, Lala-san...!"
Even if Lala was naked to begin with, Yukina wasn't. She had been wearing her clothes just moments ago.
"Oh, well, 'Jump-Jump Warp-kun Kai' can't warp clothes, you see."
"Huh?"
"Before I modified it, it was just for emergency escapes and couldn't be set to a specific location. The last time I used it, I warped right in front of Mom, so I fixed that flaw."
"You've left a much more serious flaw!"
Yukina suddenly realized something with a gasp.
"(She doesn't care that her clothes are gone, so she didn't realize this flaw even existed...!)"
"What's wrong, Yukina? Let's go outside!"
"NO, YOU CAN'T!"
Yukina pushed Lala away as she tried to open the curtain.
She could hear the bustling voices of many people outside, a clear sign of the crowd. Peeking through the gap in the curtain, she saw a family pass by right in front of the room.
There was no way she could step out there completely naked.
"Oh, senior... please hurry!"
All Yukina could do was pray.
---------
"Oh, come on..."
My warning fell on deaf ears, and the two of them vanished from the spot.
"Huh, why...?"
"Master, what does this mean...?"
Left behind were Yukina's clothes. The people who had been drawn by the light of the warp were now starting to disperse as nothing seemed to be happening.
"Hmm..."
How should I explain this? The Holy Maiden is here, too.
If it were just Kokkoro, I could be completely honest.
The item Lala used is a warp device that can't transfer clothes. At least, that's what the original story suggests. If Lala's words are to be believed, she can specify the location, but that's still uncertain.
It's possible they've been warped to a truly dangerous place.
There's no time. Considering the Holy Maiden's straightforward personality, I'll have to say...
"I think that warp device can't transfer clothes."
"What? Surely that's impossible..."
The Holy Maiden shook her head in disbelief.
I understand her feelings. A device that can't transfer clothes is nothing but a defective product. And yet, Lala happily used it.
"However, it's a fact that they've disappeared. We must find them quickly."
"But do we have a lead on where to look?"
"We can only trust Princess Lala's words for now! Let's go to this store!"
"Yes!"
We all stood up.
"Ah, right. I need to take Yukina's uniform, too."
As I picked up the uniform that had been left behind, something fell out of it.
From the skirt and sailor top, something light blue.
"Whoa, easy now..."
"!"
At that moment, the Holy Maiden's hand moved at a speed my eyes couldn't follow. She snatched up what had fallen on the floor and hid it against her chest.
Then, with a smile, she said,
"I'll carry Yukina's clothes, okay?"
"No, that's too much trouble for you, Holy Maiden..."
"Please?"
"Ah, yes."
I obediently agreed to her suggestion, paid for the items, and quickly left the store.
---------
"I'm sorry, Yukina."
"No, it's my fault for panicking and not listening to you..."
Yukina sat on the floor, hugging her knees and huddling to hide herself. Seeing her like this, Lala, who was usually mischievous, now looked genuinely apologetic.
"(I should have listened to the senior's warning... at that moment, he told me not to do it. He probably knew this would happen. Someone with such unique knowledge... he must be 'that kind of person.') Sigh..."
The silver lining was that they had warped to a fitting room where no one could see them.
All she could do now was stay put.
"Hmm, what should we do, Yukina?"
"We have no choice but to wait for the senior to come help us. I know he'll come soon."
"Really?"
"Yes, I know he will. He'll come here right away."
If he knew this would happen, he must have been quick to act.
"Hmm, so you really trust Sho, huh?"
"That's...! ...Yes, of course."
Yukina could feel her face getting hot as she said it.
"(Did she notice? No, Lala-san probably wouldn't tease me about it, right...)"
"Hmm?"
"Can you at least cover up a little bit? Like that..."
Lala was standing up, unlike Yukina. She was unashamedly showing off her captivating figure.
"Nah, I'm good..."
Yukina gave up on trying to get her to cover up, knowing it was useless.
"Wait, Lala-san!? That thing on your wrist!"
"Huh?"
"That bracelet! It's the warp device!"
Yukina had been so focused on the fact that nothing but their bodies had warped, she had overlooked it. The 'Jump-Jump Warp-kun Kai' was still on Lala's wrist.
"Let's use it to warp again! To my house... or to the hotel where you're staying...!"
If she had just thought of that earlier, this wouldn't have happened. But at the time, all she could think about was getting new clothes.
This would solve everything—
"Oh, no, I can't."
The hope that had just bloomed inside Yukina was quickly crushed.
"Jump-Jump Warp-kun Kai' needs a full day to recharge after one use."
"I see..."
Like a deflated balloon, all the strength drained from Yukina's body.
"So, back to what we were talking about."
"Huh?"
"Do you like Sho?"
"What!? Wh-why would you ask something like that...!"
Yukina almost yelled in surprise at the sudden, direct question.
"I told you before that I've been doing these arranged marriage meetings, right? But I want to choose my own partner for the future!"
"I think that's a good idea."
"But I don't know how to choose. I mean, it's better to marry someone you like, right?"
"I suppose so."
"But I don't really get that stuff at all. What does it mean to 'like' someone? Do you know, Yukina? Do you like Sho?"
"!"
Yukina, who wasn't expecting such a blunt question, turned crimson and stammered.
"Well...! ...I trust my senior. I believe he'll come to help me if anything happens."
"Yeah, yeah. And?"
"And?"
"Do you like him?"
Lala seemed determined to get a straight answer. Yukina buried her face in her knees and answered in a small, faint voice.
"Ah... I... yes."
"Wow! Really!? Tell me! What does it feel like?"
"L-Lala-san! Please, that's enough...!"
Lala kept asking about everything: how they met, what they did together, even the fact that they were living together.
Just then, a voice from outside the curtain interrupted them.
"Excuse me, miss?"
"!"
"Hmm?"
Yukina's heart skipped a beat. Lala, as usual, simply tilted her head.
"Y-yes! What is it?"
Judging by the voice, it was a store clerk. Thinking that silence would be suspicious, Yukina quickly answered. She held a finger to her mouth, silently telling Lala not to speak.
"My apologies for interrupting your fitting. But you've been in there for quite a while now..."
"I-I'm so sorry! I brought so many clothes to try on!"
"She's not wearing anything, though."
"Lala-san!"
Yukina whispered a warning.
"There's no problem, so please just let us try on for a little while longer!"
"Is that so? But there are no shoes outside..."
"Shoes?"
Yukina looked down at her feet.
She still wasn't wearing anything. Of course, that meant no shoes or socks. She hadn't been wearing any since she got here.
It's standard practice to take off your shoes before entering a fitting room. It would be strange if there were none outside.
"Wh-why would that be? Ahaha, maybe they got stolen?"
"...Miss? Would it be alright if I opened the curtain?"
"Oh, n-no, I'm not wearing any clothes right now...!"
"This time it's the truth."
The clerk's voice grew sterner, suspicious now.
Yukina no longer had the composure to scold Lala. Panic made her body feel hot, and she started sweating all over.
"So I can't really open it right now...!"
"Alright. I will wait two minutes, and then I will ask you again to open it."
"B-but...!"
"I will listen to your story afterward."
The clerk had clearly concluded something was wrong. They might have even called for security already.
"Wh-what should I do...!"
There was nothing to do but explain the situation and ask for some clothes.
She didn't have any money, but in this emergency, it couldn't be helped.
"This will be so much trouble for the Holy Maiden and Lala-san..."
"It's totally fine."
"Ugh, for me, this is the most embarrassing thing in my life...!"
Just as Yukina had steeled herself for the worst, the clerk called out to her.
"Miss, are you ready? I'm opening the curtain now."
"Wait! Please listen to me before you open it!"
Yukina poked her head out from the curtain and called out to the clerk. Fortunately, she was a woman. It would be a bit easier to explain.
"...A-alright."
The clerk, taken aback by Yukina's desperate tone, nodded.
Taking a breath, Yukina was about to explain the situation when—
"The truth is—"
"Yukina-san!"
"Yukina-sama!"
Just in the nick of time, the Holy Maiden and Kokkoro rushed in.
"Kokkoro-chan! Holy Ma—"
Yukina stopped herself before she could call out the name. It would be unwise to say the Holy Maiden's name with so many people around.
"We are so sorry for causing a disturbance."
"Oh, are you... with her?"
"Yes. Yukina-sama, here you are."
"Ah! Thank you!"
Yukina took the uniform and scurried back into the fitting room.
The clerk, still confused about the situation, was left with a bewildered look on her face.
"Everything is fine here now. You can go back. She will be out shortly."
"And we will make sure to purchase something."
The two of them managed to convince the clerk.
"...Understood. In that case, I'll leave you to it."
And just like that, Lala and Yukina were saved from their predicament.
---------
"This is the place!"
"Yes!"
"But where could they be...?"
Upon arriving at the store, we stood at the entrance, trying to get a look inside.
"They aren't wearing any clothes, so maybe they've already gone somewhere else?"
"No..."
I shook my head at the Holy Maiden's words.
"We haven't received any information to suggest that."
The Butei network hadn't received any reports about it.
"Then...?"
"The warp might have been a bit off, or they're hiding somewhere no one can see them..."
"A place where they wouldn't be seen in this store... a fitting room!"
"Would you and Kokkoro mind going to check? I'll stay here and keep an eye on everything."
"Understood!"
With the enthusiastic Holy Maiden and Kokkoro in charge, I decided to wait at the front of the store and watch them go.
To be honest, I was a bit afraid that if I got too close to a fitting room with two naked girls, a scene straight out of To Love Ru might happen.
It didn't seem like there was a big commotion, so I wanted to avoid any unnecessary chaos.
"(Replica-sensei. Let me know if anything happens.)"
"(Leave it to me.)"
Just in case, I had given them both a Mini Replica.
I was a little nervous about whether they were actually here, but I had a good feeling they were.
It's been a while since I've been this busy. Not since the first day.
"Phew..."
"Looks like being a Kamen Rider in this world is quite a handful."
All the hairs on my body stood on end.
Unlike before, this was a young man in a black jacket. He looked older than the one I'd seen on TV. The toy camera hanging from his neck suited him strangely well.
"Kadoya... Tsukasa...!"
"Oh? You know my name? Guess I've become famous."
I swallowed hard.
"What do you want?"
"If you know who I am, you probably know what I want, don't you?"
"Is it about the Yummies that have been appearing recently?"
"It's a lot easier when you get straight to the point."
Tsukasa smiled with satisfaction.
"What are they? What's the cause?"
"Before that, let me ask you a question. What are you, exactly?"
"What am I?"
"The last time I saw you, you transformed into Ex-Aid, but that's not your true form, is it? No, more to the point, this is 'a world without Kamen Riders.'"
"You know even that?"
"It's what happens when you travel. I can tell by the smell."
This Tsukasa might be the one who continued his journey after the original series.
"And yet, someone has transformed into a Kamen Rider. You."
"It would be a pain to explain in detail, but I've got a belt like this, too."
I showed him the Ziku Driver. Tsukasa narrowed his eyes.
"What's your name?"
"Yozuki Sho."
"Not Sougo?"
"Who's that?"
"Never mind."
Saying that, Tsukasa fell into thought.
"...I see. I get the general idea."
"You do?"
"Just the general idea. But I don't know who the main culprit is. And the power is completely different from what I know. I can't imagine what will happen from here."
"Will you help me put an end to this?"
If I could get Kadoya Tsukasa's help, it would be a huge comfort.
"If you're going to introduce me to your women, I'll pass. As long as we're both Kamen Riders, it's enough for us to cooperate when we need to fight."
He didn't want to needlessly stick together. That was just like Tsukasa.
"Your companions are coming back... well then, see you later."
Having said what he wanted, Tsukasa waved his hand and left.
---------
"What!? What's the meaning of this, you worthless fools!"
The tall man yelled at his subordinate, who had a bruise on his face.
They had failed to bring back the runaway Lala. Not only that, but she had been taken away by some unknown people. Hearing such a report would make anyone want to yell.
"W-well! Please, look at this!"
"Hm? ...This is!"
The subordinate handed him a tablet, which showed a video from just before Yukina pummeled them.
"She's a skilled fighter, but the woman behind her... is she the Holy Maiden of Japan? Why? Why would she do such a thing..."
"Captain, what should we do!"
"We've got their location! We can go right away!"
"Ah. We can't waste any more time. I will go myself. Princess Lala's little tantrum ends now."
If he wanted answers, he would have to go directly.
Zastin, captain of the Deviluke Royal Guard, turned his cape and headed toward the runaway princess.
