Chapter 82 – Come Now, Confess Your Sins!

""Sirin", "Sirin"!"

Holding her ice cream and gently licking it, the tuna girl looked up and waved energetically when she spotted the heiress.

"They've got fresh ice cream on the battleship~!"

Since it was technically summer, having ice cream now felt just right.

Sitting on the deck with others, watching the sunset while eating ice cream—it was a strange but refreshing experience.

Something the young lady had never done before.

"Where's Nagami? Where did he go?"

Blinking her deep blue eyes, "Sirin" looked around curiously for Nagami.

She clearly wanted to share her ice cream with him.

"He said he'd be back soon… Ah, speak of the devil!"

Before the words had even fully left her mouth, the heiress spotted two familiar figures approaching from the bridge.

A smile naturally formed on her lips.

But as Nagami and C.C. walked closer, the girls' attention was instantly drawn to the strange red device in the boy's hand.

"What's that?"

Bronya tilted her head slightly, studying the item carefully.

Instinctively, she ran a scan against the system's database, but found no matching records.

"Nagami, what's that thing you're holding?"

Without noticing the subtle shift in Mei's and "Sirin" (Heiress Kiana) expressions, the tuna Kiana cheerfully grabbed onto Nagami and C.C.'s arms—one on each side!

"Oh, this? You could say it's a kind of special armor."

Looking at the group of girls, Nagami mentally assessed who among them might best embody the spirit of a true knight.

The answer was obvious.

In that timeline, where Cecilia was still alive, and with the heiress Kiana raised by Welt himself, her sense of justice was unmatched.

She was the ideal candidate!

There's no way the Kaslana spirit passed down by Ziggy could be more reliable than Welt's upbringing!

With that thought, Nagami moved behind "Sirin", and to everyone's shock, wrapped an arm around her slender waist.

"H-Hey! Nagami, what are you doing?!"

There are so many people around!

The warmth from his body rushed through her, and "Sirin's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Her mind turned fuzzy, and though she had certainly entertained indecent thoughts about Nagami and C.C., being this close to him sent her into a flustered daze.

Her body froze on instinct.

If it had been C.C., she wouldn't have reacted this way.

"Alright, just hold still."

Nagami fastened the driver around her waist.

As the gray belt extended and locked in place with a mechanical hum, the pressure in the air eased slightly.

"What is this?"

"You'll find out in a second!"

Nagami didn't really care who transformed anymore.

He just wanted to try it out himself.

Looking down at his own waist, he could barely contain his excitement.

What boy hasn't dreamed of becoming a Kamen Rider?

And today—he was finally about to realize that dream!

Let's go!

As the mechanical hum of the gears began, and the device on his waist disappear, Nagami and C.C.'s excited expressions instantly froze.

They snapped their heads toward the tuna.

"Huh? What is this thing? Why's it on me all of a sudden?" With childlike curiosity, Kiana tugged at the belt wrapped around her waist. "It's so tight!"

Nagami flatlined.

All his expectations were brutally crushed, and he suddenly had the overwhelming urge to demand a refund from the chat group.

Unfortunately… there's no refund policy.

He thought that the other part will go to him but unfortunately it goes to this tuna...

And besides…

Nagami narrowed his eyes at the tuna Kiana, while C.C. stared hard at "Sirin".

'Why did this driver feel so... tailor-made for them?'

With deliberate steps, C.C. slowly approached Kiana.

Her long, smooth green hair swayed gently with the movement of her slender body, like a flowing river.

"Uhh, C.C.…? Is something wrong?"

Seeing her "wife" looking unusually serious, Kiana's playful demeanor deflated a bit, and she shrank back instinctively.

"Nothing at all~" Her voice was elegant, with a touch of coldness.

As Kiana stood frozen in place, C.C. elegantly slotted the Memory into the driver.

In that moment, time itself seemed to ripple.

The Memory was instantly transferred from Kiana belt to "Sirin", syncing perfectly.

At the same time, Kiana stumbled sideways unconscious—but C.C. was already ready, catching her gently in her arms.

Soft, warm, and fragrant.

For a brief second, C.C. could sense the delicate scent unique to the girl—but she had no time to savor it.

[Joker!]

Nagami, unfazed by the unconscious girl in C.C.'s arms, pressed the button on "Sirin" Memory and slotted it in.

Even if he couldn't transform himself, he was going to see one transformation today.

He forcefully inserted the green Memory into the left slot of the driver.

Then, he inserted the black Memory with the same precision and pulled the driver open.

[Transform!]

[Cyclone! Joker!]

Dark green energy spiraled around "Sirin" delicate frame, growing stronger and brighter as it wrapped around her.

A violent surge of Honkai energy erupted from the surrounding space, forming invisible waves of power that condensed in the air and wrapped around her body like a storm, imbuing them with fierce momentum.

Nagami was blown back several meters by the sudden gust, but quickly regained his footing, locking his full attention on the girl before him.

And as the winds finally settled, a newly reborn knight appeared before everyone's eyes.

Nagami stood frozen in place, wind tousling the unruly strand of hair atop his head.

He was completely dumbfounded.

And he wasn't alone.

Even Mei was struck speechless, staring blankly like she'd just been hit by a flaming motorcycle.

Her wide eyes reflected nothing but shock and confusion.

Even Bronya, the ever-expressionless one, had a rare look of stupefaction on her face.

Standing quietly in place was a stunningly elegant girl.

Her long, silvery-white hair flowed like a waterfall, adorned with a pure black and green, W-shaped hairpin, with 2 bright orange shackles on her arms.

Her left leg was clad in a black high boot, and her right leg sported a green short boot with a silver armored kneepad.

'Hiss—!'

Nagami sucked in a sharp breath.

He never imagined his system would one day be compatible with Kamen Rider aesthetics.

"Wait, wait, wait—what the hell is happening here?!"

The white-haired beauty blinked in confusion, glancing back and forth between C.C and the unconscious Kiana.

'Whoa… she even has red eyes now!'

Thinking back, W's original design had compound red eyes.

So turning them into crimson pupils actually made perfect sense!

Flawless logic.

Absolutely convincing.

"Wait! Why the hell am I in "Sirin"'s body?!" the girl shouted in a panic. "What's going on?!"

"Stop squirming!"

"Don't pull it!"

The two girl, clearly struggling with two conflicting consciousnesses—looked like she was arguing with herself, confusing everyone around her.

Due to the lack of coordination between her limbs, she nearly tripped over her own feet.

Her awkward movements and stiff posture made her look less like a heroine and more like a soon-to-be-zombified patient from Resident Evil.

"Time out, time out!"

Nagami made a 'pause' gesture with both hands, staring at the red-eyed, white-haired beauty whose presence made his heart pound wildly against his will.

There's a reason the red-eyed, silver-haired combo is considered lethal to otakus.

Add her delicate, goddess-tier face on top of that, and her charm was simply overwhelming.

Nagami had to admit—he was getting a little flustered.

"Both of you—calm down, take a breath, and focus your minds," he ordered, forcing himself to put on a serious expression. "Try sensing the power within you right now."

"Got it!"

Surprisingly, both the Kiana and "Sirin" listened to him like obedient students when he went full-on serious mode.

The girl slowly closed her eyes, her gem-like crimson pupils glowing with an otherworldly allure.

And then—

"Wha—?!"

Her eyes snapped open a second later, and she stared at her own pale, gloved hand in awe, astonished by the immense power now coursing through her body.

The still air around her began to stir again, and fierce winds picked up once more as brilliant streams of Honkai energy surged within the armor.

"This is…!"
