'It seemed like Saki-chan just came out of this hospital. Did someone she knows get hurt?'
The divorced wealthy woman thought. As everyone knows, Soyo is an excellent Tsukinomori Agent, and as soon as she considered the possibility, she was ready for her mission. Ms. Nagasaki Soyo then put aside her intention of rushing to school (School? That, it's no longer needed.) and walked directly towards the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital reception, Soyo had already devised a perfect infiltration plan. She put on her signature young lady's smile and activated her sweet voice.
"Good day, Nurse-neesan. Could you help me look up the reserved room number for Togawa Sakiko? You see, I'm her friend. She forgot something, but she has an urgent matter at school, so she could only ask me to help retrieve it. I have her email address for verification."
As expected of Tsukinomori's top agent, Soyo, she effortlessly achieved what we couldn't! First, she used "Good day" to establish her identity as a young lady, enhancing credibility. Then, she called the front desk part-time nurse "Nurse-neesan" to build rapport. Before the other party could show any suspicion, she provided an explanation and potential identity verification.
The nurse didn't suspect much. Seeing such a cute, young lady-like girl, and after verifying the email address, she told Soyo the room number. Such is the convenience of a beautiful girl.
After learning the room number, Soyo offered a brief thanks and headed to the ward, pondering how to deal with anyone she might encounter there.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Kamiyama Rikuo was in his hospital bed contemplating his life.
'Sakiko-sensei has started school, so I need to think about what comes next. I still need to figure out how to rent a place, and there's this inexplicable rider system that just appeared. Once my body recovers, I need to test if I can observe the anomalies of this world. I should go back home and look for any other missed clues, even though the house is already a mess. Haha.'
Rikuo silently made up his mind. Although he had obtained the inexplicable rider system, life still had to go on.
At this moment, there was a knock on the ward door.
"Hello, I'm Sakiko's classmate. Saki-chan forgot something when she went to school and asked me to bring it for her. Is it convenient to open the door?"
It was the same approach, first dispelling doubts. Nagasaki Soyo had been observing outside the ward for a while and saw that a male was lying on the bed inside. The young girl's heart had already experienced countless supernova explosions.
'It's an unfamiliar young man. Could it be that Saki-chan's leaving the band was all because of him? Why is Saki-chan in this young man's ward? What is his relationship with Saki-chan?'
"Come in. Did Togawa-san forget something? I don't see anything around here."
Rikuo didn't think much and let Soyo into the ward. But when he saw that long coffee-colored hair, his mind began a mental storm. With that feature, he already guessed who it was: MyGO's biggest villain, the highest mountain, Nagasaki Soyo.
'Holy crap! How did Soyo get here? It's been a month since Crychic disbanded, right? No wonder the voice I just heard was so forced. I was wondering who Sakiko-sensei was still in contact with besides Mutsumi.'
Rikuo's heart was boiling, but his expression remained stable. Looking at Soyo's face, he began to think about how to respond.
'Speaking of which, it's been two years since I came to this world, and this is the first time I've seen Soyo. As expected of a beautiful 2D girl, there really is a faint lavender scent. No, what are you thinking, you pervert? Soyo definitely wasn't invited by Sakiko. Given the current situation, she probably passed by, saw Sakiko, and wanted to investigate? As expected of a Tsukinomori Agent, her initiative is truly strong.'
"Maybe Saki-chan remembered wrong? May I ask what your relationship is with Saki-chan? Sakiko and I are very close friends, but I've never seen you before. Are you Saki-chan's older brother?"
Soyo saw that the young man wasn't impulsive and chose to use a rhetorical question to get information. After all, baseless suspicion of others is disrespectful. However, Soyo knew that Sakiko had no brothers. This was the young girl's little trick; if the other party took up this line of conversation, it would confirm the suspicious nature of their identity.
"No, I'm just Togawa-san's friend. Something happened at home by chance, and Togawa-san, who was passing by, helped me."
Rikuo only said half of it. After all, if he said he was a neighbor, given the location of Sakiko's previous villa, how could there be neighbors? Although Soyo didn't know Sakiko's former address now, according to the plot development, Mutsumi would be used as a messenger. Soyo might then become suspicious of Sakiko's situation. In short, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, and he needed to protect Sakiko's last bit of pride.
Soyo didn't doubt this, as Sakiko was indeed such a gentle person. However, she did have questions about the 'passing by' part.
'Why would Saki-chan pass by his house? Looking at this young man, he doesn't seem to come from a particularly good family. And how would Saki-chan pass by? Moreover, his parents aren't with him, yet Saki-chan is so concerned about him. It's even more suspicious.'
Poor Rikuo thought he was on the second level, but he didn't expect Soyo to already be in the stratosphere. He could never have imagined that Soyo would connect him, a complete stranger, with Sakiko-sensei.
"Since I didn't find the item, I'll take my leave now. Please rest well, goodbye."
Soyo knew she couldn't stay long, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
"Okay, you go ahead."
Rikuo responded with a smile, trying to appear harmless.
But Soyo wasn't thinking that way at all.
'The rest will have to be investigated slowly. It seems this young man is inextricably linked to Crychic's disbandment. (Rikuo: Yes, I'm the one who disbanded Crychic)'
After speaking, Soyo rushed to school. After all, her perfect young lady persona at school also needed to be maintained.
'I perfectly avoided the Tsukinomori Agent's interrogation. I guess Nagasaki Soyo in this MyGO world isn't that scary after all. Why does everyone describe her as an 16-year-old bitter woman?'
Rikuo expressed doubt about other fan creations he had seen. How could such a pure, beautiful girl like Soyo be a divorced wealthy woman?
'Anyway, no one's here now. First, let's think about how to test the cards after I'm discharged. Tokyo is full of surveillance everywhere, so I can't be careless. Since I don't understand the surveillance situation now, I'll go to the slums of Osaka to try it out. There's basically no surveillance there. I feel like my body is recovering faster, so I should be able to get discharged by the afternoon. Maybe Kamen Rider has a way to make money, so I won't have to work multiple part-time jobs.'
Rikuo finalized his plan in his heart: get discharged in the afternoon and go to Osaka to try out the rider system. When he first arrived in this world, Rikuo also wanted to be a copywriter, but he was just an ordinary teenager. How could he remember songs and novels completely? At most, he could only remember some plots and melodies, and there was no system to help him restore them.
'Anyway, everything depends on the afternoon's situation. I also need to go back and see if anything is left in the ruins.'
