[MHCISQD] Chapter 347: Genius Form and Black Hole Form
Added 2023-08-03 20:30:55 +0000 UTCTaking out the Rabbit and Tank Fullbottles, Renault produced two other noticeably different Fullbottles.
*COBRA! RIDER SYSTEM! REVOLUTION!*
*ARE YOU READY?*
"Henshin!"
*BLACK HOLE! BLACK HOLE! BLACK HOLE! REVOLUTION! FUHAHAHAHA!*
Emerging from the black hole, Renault, now in Evol Black Hole Form, shook his hand.
"To deal with the Genius Form, I naturally have to use the Black Hole Form. It works better."
Observing the battle from home, Sento had a disappointed expression.
"I feel like you're targeting me!"
Renault skillfully used the Black Hole Form, unleashing its full power with his form change. He became elusive and faster than ever.
Tsukasa was surprised to witness Renault's transformation into Evol. Clearly, the opponent was not just an ordinary Rider.
"But that's what makes it more interesting."
With the Genius Form's speed, Tsukasa engaged in a high-speed battle with Renault, who was more than willing to meet his challenge. Despite being a speed battle, their attacks carried significant force.
After all, the Genius Form was Build's ultimate form, and Renault's Black Hole Form was Evol's strongest form, excluding the Snake Monster Form. The clash between the two was anything but small.
Meanwhile, inside the hot springs inn...
After leaving the room, Yuriko went downstairs and looked eastward with a feeling in her heart.
"That is..."
"Yuriko? You're down here!" came Mikoto's voice.
It turned out that they had returned after their shopping spree, carrying several small bags of trinkets.
"Where's Renault-senpai? Is he still upstairs with Mikumo?" Mikoto asked as she approached. She looked around but didn't see anyone else.
Shaking her head, Yuriko opened a canned coffee and took a sip. "He must have woken up and gone outside. It's quite far, maybe a dozen kilometers or so, and there was quite a commotion."
"Commotion?" Mei, who was following Yuriko's conversation, looked puzzled as she stood on the first-floor corridor, glancing eastward towards the woods.
"I don't see anything."
"If it's a dozen kilometers away, it's not easy to spot from here. The area is mostly forested," Yaoyorozu said as she walked over and stood next to Mei, also gazing at the eastern woods.
"But since he didn't inform us, it shouldn't be anything serious. Let him do his own thing. We'll rest, change into some fresh clothes, have a good dinner, and then we can head to the festival."
"Are you sure it's alright?" Mei looked puzzled, noticing that not only Yaoyorozu but also Mikoto and Yuriko seemed quite calm about it.
Mikoto waved her hand reassuringly. "Don't worry. If there was a real danger, he would have asked us to leave. Since he didn't inform us, it means he can handle it on his own without affecting us. Let's go upstairs."
Mei wanted to ask a question, but she was quickly dragged by Yaoyorozu to the second floor.
Yuriko stood still, glancing at the mountain forest to the east, suppressing her inner combative nature, and headed to the second floor.
She decided to find Renault later and have a fight with him.
At half past five, dinner began.
When everyone gathered in the dining hall, they noticed that Renault was not there.
Iida immediately turned to Yaoyorozu and a few other girls, asking, "Where's Renault? It's dinnertime, he can't be unaware, right?"
Yaoyorozu shook her head and replied casually, "He's got something to take care of, but he'll be back soon. Let's start eating without him."
They called the waiter to bring the food.
The restaurant owner, accompanied by a worried-looking waiter, brought the dishes to Yaoyorozu. In a hushed voice, she asked, "Yaoyorozu-sama, have you seen one of our servers? He's a tall young man who was helping out during lunch."
"No, what's wrong, ma'am?" Momo replied.
The owner sighed, "That young man disappeared without a trace. It's evening now, and he should be busy, but he's nowhere to be found, and he didn't even take his phone."
Mikumo, hearing this, recalled Renault's change in expression during lunch. Could it be that the waiter...
But she quickly pushed the thought aside. It's better not to get involved; she'll see what Renault has to say.
At half-past five, Renault finally arrived, apologizing for being late due to some last-minute business.
Before coming to the dining hall, Renault had gone upstairs to change and freshen up. Otherwise, with sweat all over him, everyone would have bombarded him with questions.
Kirishima, busy eating, saw Renault's arrival and raised his chopsticks, teasing, "Renault, you're way too slow! If you were any later, we'd have considered eating your portion!"
Renault retorted with a smile, "There's plenty of food, I dare you to finish it all!"
Sitting between Yuriko and Mikumo, Renault's dinner was promptly served by the waiter.
As Yuriko took small bites, she asked in a low voice, "Who was it?"
With the restaurant bustling, Renault didn't have to worry about others overhearing their conversation. He took a large piece of beef into his mouth, chewed, and then swallowed before replying, "A passing Kamen Rider, quite formidable."
"Oh?" Yuriko raised an eyebrow, surprised to hear Renault describe someone as 'quite formidable.'
"Did you win?"
"A small victory. Neither of us used our full strength since it was dinner time, and we couldn't fight on empty stomachs. So, we called it off temporarily." Renault grinned and reassured his younger sister, "Don't worry, he won't leave anytime soon. You'll have a chance to spar with him. With his combat experience, you'll learn a lot."
Yuriko was satisfied with Renault's response, nodded, and stopped probing further, focusing on her dinner.
Mikumo, who had been listening to their conversation all along, felt relieved knowing that Renault was indeed fine. Although she always knew Renault was skilled, she couldn't help but worry in situations like this.
After dinner, they rested briefly and prepared to attend the town's festival.
Upstairs, as Renault was getting ready to rest after dinner, several guys barged into his room, pulling him out and dragging him into the guys' room.
"What are you guys doing?" Renault asked.
Inside, he found all the guys gathered. Fortunately, the room was spacious enough to fit them all.
Iida pushed his glasses up and said seriously, "We've got a big problem!"
