Before long, surprised sounds came from the Shimamura family's side. It turned out that Shimamura Ichiyo believed that if his younger brother and the female Shocker Combatmen were truly in love, they must marry. If they didn't marry, it wasn't true love, and he would personally eliminate Yukarisu, the female Shocker Organization.
This shocked the pair, causing them to cry out repeatedly in surprise.
"Is this guy's mind really that jumpy?"
Shiraishi Shin was speechless regarding Shimamura Ichiyo, who possessed the soul of Kamen Rider V3, feeling he was a single-minded, slightly airheaded fellow.
Okada Yuriko couldn't stop nodding and said, "I think so too."
Tanzaburo Tojima, still wearing the Kamen Rider mask, said, "It looks like Store Manager Shimamura agrees, but the female Shocker Organization is hesitating. It seems she still harbors intentions to destroy us."
Shiraishi Shin pressed his thumb against his index finger, making a crisp "gala" sound. He said, "As expected, it's still slang for take care of. As for those Shocker Combatmen lying unconscious on the ground, slang for eliminate all."
"Shin, Nai... slang for take care of? slang for eliminate all? What do those mean?"
Tanzaburo Tojima didn't understand what Shiraishi Shin had just said; it didn't seem to be the language of Japan.
Shiraishi Shin laughed and said, "slang for take care of means 'to eliminate her,' and slang for eliminate all means 'to eliminate them all.' That's my hometown dialect."
Okada Yuriko sighed and said, "If Yukarisu remains stubbornly misguided, then we will have no choice."
"Someone is coming."
Shiraishi Shin heard a faint sound of footsteps, then turned his head to look. Slowly emerging from the darkness before them was a man, 186 centimeters tall, with silver hair and bangs covering his right eye, leaving only his red-pupiled left eye visible.
"It's... it's that guy!"
Fear involuntarily arose in the hearts of Okada Yuriko and Tanzaburo Tojima upon seeing the man, as they had encountered this very person at the convenience store last night—he was a Shocker Kaijin.
The way his mouth opened like a spider's, coupled with the powerful oppressive aura emanating from him, put immense pressure on them, who were truly encountering a Kaijin for the first time. Yet, for some unknown reason, he had left without attacking them.
But that sense of oppression was still fresh in their memory; it was completely unlike the Toad Amazon they had defeated last night.
"Is he the Spider Kaijin you encountered?" Seeing the look of horror on Okada Yuriko's face, Shiraishi Shin guessed.
Okada Yuriko nodded, swallowed, and said, "It's him. The oppressive feeling he gave us yesterday felt like it completely paralyzed our bodies and minds. I didn't expect this guy to show up too."
However, she wasn't as nervous now as she was yesterday, because although the person opposite was indeed a Kaijin, the person standing beside her was also a true Kamen Rider!
"Why are all the Shocker Combatmen wiped out here?"
Man-Spider, whose human form is named Kumota, scanned his surroundings. He had been nearby just now and noticed Yukarisu gathering the Shocker Combatmen, thinking there must be some urgent matter, so he came to check it out, slowly making his way here.

He didn't expect to see Shocker Combatmen scattered all over the ground. Even he found this quite absurd. What exactly happened, with uninjured humans standing around and Shocker Combatmen covering the floor?
"He! He! He! He!"
Yukarisu retreated in terror and fear. As a Shocker Organization Combatman, although she didn't recognize the man, she could sense an extremely dangerous aura emanating from him, and she knew he was a true Kaijin of the Shocker Organization.
That was a genuine Kaijin. Whether in terms of status or strength, he was completely out of her league as a Shocker Organization Combatman of her rank!
"Who is this guy?"
Shimamura Ichiyo looked at the newcomer with suspicion. The man looked nonchalant, showing no change in expression upon seeing the Shocker Combatmen lying everywhere. His instincts told him this guy was not simple.
Tanzaburo Tojima quickly assumed a fighting stance and shouted, "Be careful, everyone! This guy is a true Shocker Kaijin, Man-Spider!"
"Nani!"
The two Shimamura brothers were greatly alarmed upon hearing this.
Shocker Organization!
A true Shocker Kaijin!
Man-Spider!
Yukarisu was trembling all over with fear, her legs feeling weak as she stumbled back a few steps. Sure enough, her feeling hadn't been wrong—he truly was a Kaijin from the Organization!
"Yukarisu?"
Shimamura Mitsuba felt a pang of heartache watching his girlfriend retreat out of fear.
"You said he's the Kaijin Man-Spider!"
Shimamura Ichiyo, however, widened his eyes. Shocker Kaijin—he had an irreconcilable feud with Shocker Organization, and he had specially trained for twenty years just to be able to defeat a Shocker Kaijin. Immediately, filled with rage, he charged straight out.
He swung his fist and fiercely slammed it into Kumota's face, distorting it somewhat, yet Kumota's body didn't move an inch.
"I see. No wonder the Shocker Kaijin were defeated. It seems you are exceptional among humans."
Kumota took the punch intentionally, mainly because the large number of Shocker Combatmen lying on the ground had confused him. Now, feeling the power transmitted through Shimamura Ichiyo's fist, his original confusion was answered.
"You!"
Shimamura Ichiyo's eyes were filled with shock. He had hit the man with a full-power strike, yet he hadn't moved an inch. Was this the power of a true Kaijin?
The lower half of Kumota's human face instantly ripped apart, transforming into an ugly, spider-like mouth. He swung a backhanded punch, and Shimamura Ichiyo hurriedly crossed his arms to defend.
The next second, his defense was broken, and he was sent flying by an unmatched force. He spun two and a half times in the air before landing on his feet, but even then, his feet continued to slide backward for half a meter.
"So strong! Is this what a true Kaijin is like!"
Shimamura Ichiyo looked shocked. His arms were still tingling, and he could tell that this was just a casual strike from Man-Spider; if it had been a full-power blow, his arms would probably have been broken long ago.
After all, according to the Kamen Rider setting, a Kaijin's strength is calculated in tons.
Everyone assumed a battle readiness posture as if facing a formidable enemy. Shiraishi Shin took a few steps forward and said in a calm, reassuring voice, "You are not his match. Leave him to me."
Tanzaburo Tojima's voice boomed like thunder: "Wait, Shin! I know you are strong, but before that, can you let me fight him first? This is my dearest wish!"
He knew Shiraishi Shin was a true Kamen Rider and was certainly strong enough to deal with Man-Spider, but he also wanted to have a real fight against a Shocker Kaijin. This wasn't about winning or losing; it was just to fulfill his heart's desire.
Okada Yuriko took a deep breath and said, "And me! I want to fight him too!"
Shimamura Ichiyo also said, "Don't interfere yet! I haven't been defeated, and I haven't cancelled my Henshin!"
"Hmm?"
Kumota, showing his ugly, wide mouth, looked curiously at Shiraishi Shin. Judging by the conversation among these people, this man was the protagonist of their group.
