“Whoa!?”
[Grrrr!]
Just like when I transform, various parts appear in the air and combine, forming a motorcycle I’ve seen before.
[LUPUS STRIKER!!]
Is this the racing bike I saw at the shop the other day!?
Painted in white and black two-tone, it has a more futuristic form than the bike I saw before, with three horn-like protrusions on the front, similar to those on my head when I transform.
So that’s why it was scanned before!?
[Woof!]
“You want me to ride it? But I don’t have a license, and even if I can transform, I still need to follow traffic laws… Hey, don’t pull! Okay, okay! I got it!”
Feeling urged on by the sound in my head as well, I decide to get on the bike.
As soon as I straddle it, a full-face helmet appears from thin air in a disassembled state and automatically attaches itself to my head.
“Wow, so futuristic. I don’t know how to use this… Oh, now I do.”
In an instant, the knowledge of how to use it flows into my head. I turn the handle, and the engine makes a “Vroom!” sound.
…I have no choice! I’ve come this far, so I’ll go through with it!
“Shiro!!”
[Woof!!]
[LUPUS DRIVER!!]
I attach the belt, insert the buckle, and start riding the bike.
Reaching top speed in an instant, it shows acceleration and maneuverability far beyond existing bikes as it starts racing down the main street.
“Transform!”
[FIGHT FOR RIGHT!!]
While operating the bike, I transform, donning the suit and armor.
Now wearing a mask over the full-face helmet, I grip the handlebars tightly and make the bike jump.
“I won’t cause trouble for others!”
[SAVE FORM!! COMPLETE……]
As I complete the transformation, I press a button on the handlebars to activate the system.
Instantly, particles of light overflow from the front and rear wheels, forming a semi-transparent road, and [Lupus Striker] begins to ride through the air.
“A pillar of light…!”
A pillar of light appears in my field of vision as I race through the sky.
Confirming its location about ten kilometers away, I accelerate the bike further, heading straight for the destination by the shortest route.
The monsters that appeared along with the pillar of light were, of all places, near the center of the bustling city area.

What I saw were two large-bodied monsters.
One with a body close to dark gray and distinctive oni-like horns was causing massive damage to the surroundings, spewing out what looked like poison from its mouth.
“That guy…!”
—There are two this time. Be careful.
Nodding at Shiro’s voice, I accelerate the bike.
Upon confirming their presence, I land on the ground without slowing down and immediately activate my finishing move.
[DEADLY!! TYPE LUPUS!!]
—Huh?
[BITING! ATTACK!!]
“Strike first for victory!!”
“✱✱✱!?”
Approaching the monster at top speed, I brake the front wheel, flip the bike, and smash the rear wheel, now enveloped in red electricity, into its face.
Taking the hit head-on, it’s blown diagonally upward before exploding with red electricity.
“✱ ✱✱✱✱✱!? ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱……”
“You’re the only one left.”
I dismount from the bike, which has stopped, scorching the ground, and face off against the enlarged monster.
—… Heh hehe
Are these two twins or something?
One seems shocked that its companion has been defeated, but this monster was gleefully trying to harm the people in the city.
My heart aches, but I feel no sympathy.
“✱✱✱✱✱ ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱303✱!! ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱!! ✱✱✱✱✱ ✱✱ ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱───”
“Shut up!!”
Once again, I activate my finishing move and jump into a kicking stance.
The monster seems to be trying to introduce itself with a surprised expression, but since I can’t understand its language anyway, it’s a waste of time. I’ll end this without further ado!!
[BITING! CRASH!!]
“✱✱✱✱ ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱───”

My energy-charged flying kick pierces its torso, delivering a powerful blow.
Direct hit! Just as I thought that, feeling the solid impact, my leg, which should have dealt a fatal blow, is grabbed.
“✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱!!”
“Gah!?”
My leg is swung around, and I’m slammed onto the asphalt ground on my back.
Unable to breathe from the tremendous impact, I instinctively kick at the hand gripping my leg to break free from the restraint.
“✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ ✱✱✱✱✱ ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱!! ✱✱✱✱✱✱!! ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱!!”
“Tch”
The giant body, more than twice my height, comes charging at me.
I avoid its hands trying to grab me and deliver a kick to its side.
“It’s slippery!?”
The kick slides off due to the strange elasticity and mucus covering the monster’s body, absorbing the impact.
Deciding that if kicking doesn’t work, I’ll try my dagger, I slash at it, but the blade doesn’t reach the monster’s interior, failing to deliver an effective blow.
“✱✱✱✱✱✱!!”
“Ugh!?”
Caught off balance from the slip, I’m grabbed by both of its arms and lifted up.
The monster’s incredible arm strength makes the suit’s armor creak and groan.
With a demonic expression, it opens its mouth and spews something onto my right arm holding the dagger.
“Guooo!? Gross!?”
The poison-like substance spat onto my arm solidifies instantly.
It continues to spit more onto my shoulder and torso, gradually immobilizing my body.
“This is bad!”
At this rate, I’ll be completely immobilized!
I slam my right foot into the monster’s body with all my might, using the recoil to escape from its grip.
“✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱!!”
“Gh, to!!”
I avoid the monster’s swinging palm as it tries to hit me after I land, while thinking about what to do next.
Kicks don’t work.
The dagger can’t penetrate deep enough due to the flesh getting in the way.
Moreover, the hardened poison is making it difficult to move.
If I can defeat it, it would probably be with Lupus Striker’s finishing move, but there’s no way the enemy will fall for the same technique twice.
“If only I had a weapon that could work against it…”
[OK!!]
“Huh?”
Suddenly, an “OK” declaration from the belt buckle.
Then, the buckle’s eye starts flashing red, blue, and yellow like a traffic light.
[SALVAGE…→SALVAGE…→SALVAGE…]
“Wh-what’s happening, Shiro!?”
Such a sound resonates while I’m dodging attacks.
What’s this? Is Shiro doing something!?
[COMPLETE!!]
“…! I see! Thank you, Shiro!!”
A new way to use the belt flows into my head.
Recognizing this, I put some distance between myself and the monster, then move the lever on the side of the buckle once with my left arm that isn’t immobilized.
Then, a new sound different from before resonates from the buckle.
[RE:BUILD!! SWORD RED!! → OK?]
“OK!”
I respond reflexively while lightly tapping the button on top of the buckle.
In an instant, flames burst forth from my body.
The overflowing flames melt away the poison immobilizing my body and even scorch the monster’s hand as it tries to strike me.
“✱✱!?”
[CHANGE!! SWORD RED!!]
Along with the flames, the white armor turns crimson red.
Waving my arm to dispel the flames, I take a big step forward and slam my flame-engulfed right arm into the monster’s torso.
“Red form… the power of flames!”
The blazing hot, seething red fist scorches the monster’s body.
This fiery strike penetrates the flesh that even the dagger couldn’t satisfactorily pierce.
“Haa!!”
“✱✱!?”
I land one blow after another in rapid succession, forcibly pushing the monster back.
“This form has power…!”
And on top of that, powerful flames!!
“And now!!”
I swing my fist and then pull it back, pointing my right arm towards the empty space.
[FLARE CALIBUR!!]
What appears in my right hand is a single-edged long sword.
Gripping the flaming red sword, I turn my gaze towards the monster, which lunges at me with an expression full of fear and hostility.
I point the tip of the sword at the monster, taking a stance as if drawing a bow.
“Now, it’s time for revenge…!”
I step forward with all my might, unleashing a full-power strike against it.
“Haaaa!!”
“✱✱✱✱!!”
Barely avoiding the monster’s arm, I slam the red-hot sword into its side—instantly scorching it to its core.
“Gyaaaa!?”
“Time to end this!!”
[DEADLY!! SWORD RED!!]
I activate the finishing move, channeling energy from the buckle into my right arm holding the sword.
The sword blazes with scorching flames.
Gripping it with both hands, I swing it down at the monster before me.
“Seeeei!!”
[BURNING!! SLASH!!]
The released flaming slash envelops the monster’s body in flames in an instant, causing it to explode the next moment.
After confirming the spot where it vanished without a trace for a few seconds, I sit down and heave a heavy sigh.
“I’m… exhausted…”
—You did well. Good job.
“Thanks…”
As I genuinely appreciate the words of praise, a large helicopter appears overhead.
…Can that Justice-whatever detect the appearance of monsters like I can? Even though they’re late, their speed is incredible.
“Well, time to escape.”
As I think this and stand up, the bike moves on its own and comes to me.
“…………”
[!]
The bike flashes its lights as if to say, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to ride?” I find myself speechless.
Well, I won’t say anything more.
For now, I pat what seems to be the bike’s head before mounting it and setting off.
“Now, first we need to shake off any pursuers! Let’s go, Shiro!!”
The bike responds with a “Vroom!” sound and starts moving.
As I control the bike racing down the road at an extraordinary speed, I realize—belatedly—that this incident will likely catch my sister’s attention, and beneath my mask, my face contorts into an expression of despair.
