Now that they were officially done talking, Shiraishi Shin glanced at Okada Yuriko and, pretending to be nonchalant, reached out to rest his hand on her fair hand.
Okada Yuriko did not pull away.
She was not an indecisive person, and in her heart, she had already admitted that she had fallen for this man who was six years younger than her.
Mainly, it was because Shiraishi Shin had tricked Okada Yuriko out of her first kiss.
For a somewhat traditional woman like her, a first kiss was generally meant for her future husband.
So, from the moment she gave him her first kiss, Shiraishi Shin had already entered her heart.
Afterward, under Shiraishi Shin's gradual "give an inch, take a mile" offensive, Okada Yuriko's affection for him grew even deeper.
Seeing him touch her hand, Okada Yuriko looked at Shiraishi Shin with a teasing expression and said,
"If Shiina-san saw you like this, I'm afraid she would misunderstand."
Shiraishi Shin broke into a smile.
"Mahiru won't misunderstand. Just like the title the students gave her, she is an Angel—gentle, kind, and broad-minded."
"She knows my abilities are strong and my charm is high, so many girls will like me."
"Therefore, she doesn't limit the number of girlfriends I have."
Hearing this, Okada Yuriko couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
She then said,
"High charm? If you hadn't intentionally said you weren't a match for the Arch Orphnoch last time, and claimed you'd never even touched a girl's lips, I wouldn't have given you my first kiss."
"Without that layer of relationship, we would still be just ordinary teacher and student."
"You wouldn't be so bold as to hold my hand like this."
Shiraishi Shin was not ashamed but rather proud, saying,
"As the saying goes, the bold feast while the timid starve."
"Aren't beautiful women all won through one's own efforts? It's not like they just fall from the sky."
Okada Yuriko was somewhat speechless.
Indeed, anything in this world required one to fight for it.
"That kiss last time was just a brief moment; I didn't really get to experience it."
"Yuriko, you wouldn't mind doing it again, would you?"
After saying that, without waiting for Okada Yuriko to speak, he turned and pulled her into his arms, then kissed her forcefully.
"Mmph!"
Okada Yuriko was stunned.
She hadn't expected Shiraishi Shin to be so bold as to force himself on her like this, seemingly unafraid of being seen by other students who might suddenly come to the rooftop.
After a symbolic struggle, Okada Yuriko took off her glasses and began to enjoy it as well.
After the two had kissed for a minute, Shiraishi Shin released Okada Yuriko and said,
"A Monster has appeared, and it's nearby."
Okada Yuriko, who was still feeling a bit unsatisfied, gave Shiraishi Shin a look.
But upon hearing his words, she quickly asked,
"A Monster? In the school?"
"From what I just sensed, although it didn't appear directly in the school, it should have come in from outside."
"It's very fast."
"A Monster from outside the school... who is its target? A student or a teacher?"
"I'm not sure."
Shiraishi Shin could sense Monsters, but since it was already so close and on the same floor, he couldn't accurately pinpoint its position.
"I'll go down first to see if it's caused any panic."
Okada Yuriko had full confidence in Shiraishi Shin's ability to detect Monsters.
As a teacher, the appearance of a Monster could cause a disturbance, so she had to go and calm things down.
"That's fine. I'll go down with you."
Shiraishi Shin and Okada Yuriko headed toward the stairs by the door.
Before they could take many steps, a Monster suddenly appeared in front of them.
This Monster looked extremely hideous, resembling a cockroach.
The Cockroach Dopant looked at the two in front of him, then pointed at Shiraishi Shin and said,
"You must be Shiraishi Shin from Seirei Academy."
"Hehehe... you really are a handsome guy."
"No wonder someone put you on my Hit List."
"The target is me?"
Shiraishi Shin looked at the cockroach Monster before him.
From what this guy was saying, it seemed his good looks had caused trouble, and he'd been put on some strange Hit List.
The Cockroach Dopant was in no hurry.
For ordinary people, he naturally wanted them to die knowing clearly whose hand they had fallen by.
He said,
"You broke a man's heart and stole the woman he loves."
"For that, you shall pay with your life."
"You're a Dopant, aren't you?"
Shiraishi Shin looked at the Cockroach Dopant's ugly appearance.
There was a ninety percent chance it was a Dopant because the guy came from outside the school.
Given that hideous look—while Zodiarts were also Monsters—they had far more aesthetic appeal than Dopants.
Shiraishi Shin took the Delta Driver out of his Four-Dimensional Pocket.
He felt that using it was more than enough to deal with a Dopant.
"You actually know about Dopants?"
"Die!"
The Cockroach Dopant sprinted forward instantly.
His speed far exceeded the reactions of both Shiraishi Shin and Okada Yuriko.
This was because the Cockroach Dopant possessed extraordinary speed, capable of running one hundred meters in under two seconds.
The rooftop wasn't large to begin with.
The Dopant arrived in front of Shiraishi Shin almost instantly, delivering a kick that sent the Delta Driver Shiraishi Shin was about to equip flying into the air.
He then spun around and kicked toward Shiraishi Shin's chest.
Shiraishi Shin didn't have time to dodge.
He could only block with his left arm, but he was still kicked two meters away and fell to the ground.
"Shin!"
Seeing Shiraishi Shin get kicked away, Okada Yuriko's expression turned fierce as she charged toward the Cockroach Dopant.
"Hmm?"
The Cockroach Dopant hadn't expected a female teacher to dare attack him.
How reckless.
Even if he stood still and let her throw a punch—
Thud!
Okada Yuriko's attack wasn't just a single punch, but a flurry of rapid strikes.
Although her strength wasn't as great as Shiraishi Shin's—let alone Tanzaburo Tojima's—it was still considerable after years of training, easily comparable to that of a professional boxer.
After taking multiple punches, even the Dopant was forced to retreat repeatedly.
The Cockroach Dopant stared in disbelief.
A female teacher actually possessed such mobility and strength.
If she had fought him before he transformed, when he was still just a struggling manga artist, wouldn't he have been knocked out instantly?
[Eternal!]
"I originally wanted to use Delta, but since you're being so troublesome, don't blame me for using a cheat."
Shiraishi Shin had already fastened the Lost Driver around his waist while activating the Eternal Memory with his right hand.
"You're a Dopant too?"
Seeing Shiraishi Shin also take out a Gaia Memory, the Cockroach Dopant was slightly surprised, assuming he was another Dopant.
"No."
"I am a Kamen Rider!"
A Dopant? Don't lump me together with low-class Dopants.
Shiraishi Shin inserted the activated Eternal Memory into the Driver.
A golden capital E appeared on the front of the Driver, while ripples of golden energy continuously spread outward.
"Kamen Rider!"
The Cockroach Dopant's face turned pale with fear.
Realizing the danger, he instantly rushed forward at full speed, intending to interrupt the transformation.
"Henshin!"
Just as the Cockroach Dopant closed in, Shiraishi Shin snapped open the movable section of the Driver with the back of his right hand while simultaneously raising his left arm to block.
[Eternal!]
