Hiiro looks me over, probably noticing that something is up, and I look away from him. This is embarrassing. It is obvious why I'm wearing this scarf.


"Did the Bugster attack you?" he asks, not even hesitating. 


I look back at him. "Obvious?"


"He is really into you and I know that the Intern isn't that direct with you. He'll leave a mark, but he won't make you need a scarf to cover it. Parad, stop trying to dominate Elkie. She should be dominating you, alright?" Hiiro's eyes go to Parad and I resist the urge to laugh.


"Hey, she asked me to dominate her by inviting me to. I can't help myself anyway. I got carried away when touching her and getting some of her neck." He seems fixated on my neck. I guess he likes how soft the skin is or just likes being all over it. 


"If you want to have sex, do it on your own time. We're trying to save the world here," Hiiro states, not thrilled by us trying to have an adventure. "I swear, you guys are like horny teenagers."


"I never really got to have a fun time as a teenager. I was one of those boring wallflowers," I say, looking around the room. "Jennie did more than I did." She was definitely doing a lot more things and enjoying life compared to me. 


"That's not my problem," Hiiro responds. 


Parad laughs. "You should loosen up a bit. She's allowed to have fun with us." 


"You just want to get laid."


"Hey, I love Elkie!" Parad steps towards him, looking quite serious. 


Hiiro looks away from him and nods a bit. "I think you may believe that you do, but you're wrong. I don't need you going around and hurting her. I don't trust you with her since you kidnapped her that one time."


"Kidnapped? Elkie wanted to be with me." Parad shakes his head. "We're over that part of our history now though, so it doesn't matter. Elkie, are you over it?"


"It is fine. I'm over it." 


Hiiro looks over at me. "Elkie, do you really want to have a good time with two gamers?"


"It doesn't sound like a bad idea to me." I enjoy having them around me so far. Parad is very hyperactive, but it is tolerable most of the time. "I am allowed to make decisions on what I do with my body. Stop being an over protective big brother." I do love how he is taking care of me.


"You know you like me being like a brother to you," Hiiro states, saying the truth. His eyes go to Parad. "Stand back, Parad."


I don't mind getting a chance to experience a good time with a Bugster. Bugsters are fascinating and I want to know so much about Parad still. He's good at kissing, so I want to know if he is good in the bedroom. Besides, he's going to be living with me and Emu and we can't let him be bored.


"Intern, are you okay with them fooling around?"


"If Elkie wants to have fun with him, it's fine. I'm not worried about him stealing her," Emu says, his voice full of confidence. "Besides, I told her I'll be there to make sure he doesn't. He'll be in check."


"Just wear protection if you're going to do it. Elkie, it is a bad idea to mess around with those two like that. But since you want to do it, just do it," Hiiro says, sighing a bit. "Kiriya told me that he thinks Masamune is going to open a portal up to your world using the technology Kuroto did to pull you here." 


"He's going to do that?" Parad steps back from Hiiro. "Why would he do that?"


"Because he wants to take her world over. He wants to do it as soon as possible so he can market his game there and use it to get even more wealthy. He's a ruthless business man who doesn't care about others." Hiiro is so on point right there. 


Parad looks at me. "What does that mean for her?"


"I don't know much about what will happen once he opens it, but it doesn't seem good for her. If he gets to her world, he could destroy it. He could make it a wasteland within hours. People there won't know that the game can kill you." 


"They don't have any clue about the technology you guys have here. They won't have anything to fight Masamune off either. He's a Kamen Rider and they're not. Their power is significantly lower than his when he's Cronus." I don't know how he got to be that way and I don't really want to know. At the same time though, I do want to know.


"Yeah, he intends on taking over the world and making helpless people buy his game. They won't have a clue about anything that is wrong with it if they play it. They're going to be in a tough spot," Kiriya's voice says and I turn, looking at him as he walks towards us. He stops. "That is why we need to keep an eye out for him and this portal."


"He'll probably do it close to when this game hits the end phase. That is the only time I think he'll think of opening the portal," Emu says, being smarter than the rest of us for a moment. 


It makes sense for that to happen. Masamune will want to start a new game elsewhere once this one is nearly over. Then he can figure out if other worlds exist and move to that one. I wonder where else he can go with Kamen Rider Chronicle if we don't stop him.


"Kiriya, do you think that the portal needs something to close it? How can we close it if we know nothing about it?" I want to know what he thinks we need to do.


"I believe we'll have to have someone close it, but I can't prove that yet. I don't know which side it needs to close on in order to put an end to the plan. Right now our worlds are connected, but something has to end that connection," Kiriya answers, explaining it. 


Kiriya isn't wrong that someone might have to close it from either side. None of us have information that proves the right or wrong, but it should be assumed for numerous reasons. Movies often have that kind of thing happen. One of them closes it and ends up stuck on the other side for a bit. Animes do it too. 


"I see." I think that person is going to have to be me. I'm going to have to close the portal to return the worlds back to normal. "I know it isn't new information that you have, but I appreciate you telling us."


"It seems kind of scary to have to hear that. What happens if someone goes to close it and they get stuck in that other world? What if I get stuck there and found out?" Parad asks. He's worried about people finding out he's a Bugster there? 


"No one will figure it out unless you show them that you're one. They don't even know what a Bugster is."


"Actually, that is where the problem lies. Some people do know you guys from a show and at most, he'll be known as an actor there." I do not want that happening.


The moment he shows up there, he could run into his actor. What happens if that happens? Will the world suddenly collapse? No, not that! It could blow up, right?


"That is quite doubtful to happen, Parad, and Elkie is right. You could end up being mistaken for someone else," Kiriya says, chuckling a bit. "We have two proper choices to close the portal since it won't change anything about their world or cause any alarm."


"Elkie and Jennie, right?" Emu asks, sounding a bit solemn. I look over at him and he looks at me, looking a bit sad. "Does she have to close it though?"


"I know you're asking about Elkie right now and not Jennie. She might have to, buddy," Kiriya responds, confirming what might need to be done. "There isn't anything to prove that though. It is all just assumptions based off things we know about it so far. It makes sense for them to be here to help us out to close it. That's why they got here."


"Does Kuroto think that as well?" I am not going to say that I have to leave to Emu. I'm going to play it off like it is a possibility and nothing more. 


"He thinks you should be able to cross between worlds, but don't believe that." Kiriya is lying right now. He's not going to say the truth and that is that Kuroto said I have to go in order to save this world.


"Anyways, we have more information to go over. We can speak about it over there." Hiiro is wanting to talk more about it? Alright. 


I just hope that it doesn't have to be like that, but I know it will.


A/n: Here's an update! I hope you all enjoy it. 


We'll get more information about the way to get back home and all later. They're going to have a bit of back and forth on what should be done to fix it. We'll see what the solution is and how this story ends. I'm thinking maybe 19 chapters or so from now. Then we'll have a few chapters for the ending maybe. What do you think of that plan? 


Also, everyone, make sure to get your flu shots if you haven't! Even if the strands that happen from the flu aren't in it, it is always nice to do it just in case. I rather be safe than sorry :D 


Thank you for reading and please look forward to the future of this story.


PS: If you haven't yet and love Zero-One or Zi-O, check out my Senseless Abyss: Another Time story! It is based off the Reiwa Generations movie and it'll have our favorite King Sougo in it! He'll be later in the story with my character from it in order to prevent spoilers (sorry, don't want to give out the ending to the story until that story is done). 


I'll update it more when I'm near done with Kamen Rider Trouble. Thanks again <3
