Rikuo's expression instantly turned serious as he looked at the park forest, which was as diligent as a model worker. From within, a black "wild boar" ran out.
Its left ear was complete and large, while its right ear was broken off at the root, with maggots occasionally visible wriggling deep within the ear canal. Its eyes were cloudy, and its pupils were serrated. Its snout was covered in scars, with white nasal bone visible at the deepest parts, and its body was massive, not like the size of a normal wild boar.
"One-eared pig?"
Taki's trembling question came through. Although she was usually strong, she was essentially just an ordinary girl.
"Taki actually knows this kind of Anomaly? But it doesn't matter. If it's a wild boar, then it's most likely 4 of Spades - Tackle Boar."
Rikuo pulled Taki behind him, took out his pen, changed the Blay Buckle, and inserted Ace of Spades.
"Let Taki see my cool appearance too."
"Henshin!"
"Turn up!"
Rikuo passed through the phantom of the Hercules beetle, and the silver-blue Kamen Rider rushed towards the wild boar Anomaly.
The one-eared pig charged forward, its massive body moving as fast as lightning!
Rikuo dodged sideways, but his right arm was still hit by a tusk, causing a shower of sparks on the Kamen Rider armor. The one-eared pig showed no intention of stopping, directly knocking down the base of a statue and a row of large trees behind it.
"Sure enough, this attack method is 4 of Spades. However, letting him keep charging like this is not a solution. This speed is comparable to a car. If it rushes out of the park, the damage won't be as simple as just buildings. This is the first Anomaly I've seen that has completely lost its mind. I guess it's part of its inherent characteristics?"
Rikuo analyzed the wild boar Anomaly's irrational behavior.
"Taki, this Anomaly's physical destructiveness is too great. There are no high-rise places to hide nearby. I'll have to fly you. Don't resist."
Rikuo grabbed her arm, then held her in his embrace, took out Jack of Spades - Fusion Eagle (Ability: Allows Blade to assume Jack Form; Can fly; Ap consumption: 2400), and swiped it into his Blay Rouzer, causing golden-brown wings to appear.
"I know, at a time like this, I definitely won't throw a tantrum or anything."
Taki turned her face away, not meeting Rikuo's gaze beneath the armor, but she still obediently hugged Rikuo's waist.
'Actually, there was a bio-field, but never mind, I've already hugged her.'
Rikuo took Taki airborne, delivering her to the nearest tall building.
"Because the Anomaly isn't coming for me, I can't do an explosive output instant kill this time. Taki, you should be very safe here. I'll come back for you after I deal with the Anomaly."
He released Taki. Taki heard Rikuo's words and stepped out of his embrace.
"Be careful. We all care about you very much."
"Taki is actually actively caring about a guy like me? As for safety, a mere 4 of Spades is the opponent with the lowest stats I've encountered so far."
"Hmph, if you think it's fine, then it's fine. Then hurry up. This Anomaly seems to be quite dangerous, and only you can solve it."
Rikuo swooped towards the one-eared pig's direction, only to see that it had already rushed out of Higashi-Ikebukuro Central Park and was heading towards the road.
"Mommy, look, such a big pig!"
"Yaya, what are you talking about? How can there be a wild boar on the road?"
On the sidewalk was a mother and daughter. The daughter was carrying a small backpack and wearing a beret, clearly having just been picked up from school by her mother.
"Mommy, really, if you don't believe me, look! The pig is already coming over!"
"Honestly, Yaya, you must be thinking of the story your teacher told you."
The daughter pointed across the road. Although the mother didn't believe her, she still looked in the direction her daughter was pointing.
"Why is there a wild boar on the road!?"
The one-eared pig had already crashed a truck in half down the middle, yet its body remained completely unharmed, and its speed showed no signs of decreasing.
The mother immediately shielded her daughter, trying to use her body to protect her daughter from the impact.
"Pigs should just stay on the dinner table. Don't play at charging forward."
Rikuo lifted the truck driver with one hand and attacked the wild boar from the side with a flying kick. Although it didn't cause much damage, it changed the wild boar's original direction, sending it crashing into a tree.
"Are you two okay?"
"Wow, Mommy, it's Kamen Rider! I saw him on the news yesterday! You didn't believe me, but there really is a Kamen Rider!"
The little girl looked at the silver-blue Kamen Rider who had saved her, cheering excitedly and jumping up and down.
"Thank you, Mr. Kamen Rider."
"You're welcome. But first, about this. Uncle, your truck has insurance, right? It's totaled anyway, so it's okay if I borrow it, right?"
Rikuo placed the truck driver on the ground, releasing the bio-field on him.
"Of course, Kamen Rider. You saved my life. Even if I didn't have insurance, I would agree to you."
Just now, as the truck was about to be overturned by the lateral force, Rikuo used his Blay Rouzer to cut open the door and pull out the truck driver inside.
"Then, it's settled. The law of victory has been decided!"
Rikuo took out 8 of Spades - Magnet Buffalo (Ability: Allows temporary control over magnetism; Ap consumption: 1400) and swiped it into his Blay Rouzer. The buffalo phantom merged into his chest armor, and Rikuo pointed his left hand at the truck's wreckage, controlling it to float.
"Since you, Anomaly, can't stop, I'll encase you in metal so you have no point of leverage at all!"
Rikuo used magnetism to carry the truck wreckage, flying with it, and saw the one-eared pig crashing along a tree.
"Fortunately, although it has no intelligence, it also has no desire to actively attack living beings. It avoided a lot of damage. Seeing how thick-skinned you are, physical attacks probably won't cause much harm, so I'll give you an electric-roasted pig."
Rikuo manipulated the truck wreckage to envelop the wild boar. The metal, controlled by powerful magnetism, rendered the wild boar immobile.
Rikuo swiped 6 of Spades - Thunder Deer (Ability: Supplements the next attack with electricity; Ap: 1200). The deer phantom merged into his chest armor, and Rikuo swung his Blay Rouzer at the metal cage, powerful electrical currents flowing into it.
"5000 AP, not too much, not too little, just right! Still daring to go online?"
The pig, of course, did not reply. The pig was already very well-done, extremely well-done.
Rikuo took out a blank card and threw it at the one-eared pig. As the one-eared pig twisted and dissipated, the Undead Card flew back into Rikuo's hand.
"Indeed, it's 4 of Spades - Tackle Boar (Ability: Increases the power of tackles; Ap consumption: 800), an early-stage model worker, but an Undead Card that has never caused actual damage. In any case, it was resolved without injury, which is cause for celebration."
Looking at the little girl chasing after him from behind, and her mother trying to hold her back, Rikuo gently shook his head.
"Children really aren't afraid of anything. The power of this Anomaly feels like it could easily crash through a building. After all, it broke a truck in half."
Rikuo waved to the little girl.
"Little girl, be careful in the future and listen to your mother. I can't always be there every time you encounter danger. Oh, my name is Blade, Kamen Rider Blade. Although I don't have the ability to appear when my name is called, if you encounter similar danger, you can contact Nyamuchi."
Rikuo gave some instructions, then took off and left. Taki was still waiting for him on the rooftop.
"Mommy, his name is Kamen Rider Blade, and he can fly! He's so amazing!"
"Yes, we should all thank Mr. Blade. And, Nyamuchi? I've seen her makeup videos before. So she's connected to such an amazing person? Then I'll have to tell my neighbors, in case we encounter similar dangers..."
Soon after, almost all women in Tokyo followed Nyamuchi. Nyamu had no idea where this massive traffic came from. Don't underestimate the intelligence network among women!
