Scared Rider Xechs

"Special Studies"

"Akira Asagi"

I'm Akira Asagi. "Akira Asagi"

"Akira Asagi"

That's no she-gorilla.

She really is a high-school girl.

Surprising.

She's our... instructor?

From this point on, the 6th Combat Unit will learn under Instructor Asagi,

and will fight under the instructor's direction.

I look forward to working with you.

Huh? I'd heard that there were five Riders.

Yosuke is in the hospital.

The hospital?

The hospital?!

No reason to worry. It's just for routine tests.

He did charge into a red barrier unprotected.

He did something that crazy?!

Passing judgment without knowing the details, are we?

There was nothing else he could have done.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.

Safe!

Safe?

You're late.

I got lost looking for the copier.

Who's that?

The girl who was with Yosuke earlier, isn't she?

Hako Salome Sakura,

Substance maintenance chief.

Her?!

Nice meeting you, Instructor Asagi.

I just got to Ryukyu, myself, so...

"Welcome Party for Hako and Akira" I just got to Ryukyu, myself, so...

...here. "Welcome Party for Hako and Akira"

...here.

And here, for all of you, too.

A welcome party?

A welcome party is a nice idea!

Huh? What do we do?

No griping, just bring something tasty to share and get together!

Sounds like fun. I've never been to one of these.

Really? That's great.

I wonder what I should bring.

I don't have time to waste on chit-chat.

Well then, I guess you're dismissed.

All Riders have to attend, now!

We have high expectations for you, Instructor.

Ooh, creepy.

He doesn't much care for instructors.

Hey, she can hear you.

How can I put this...? They are all quite unique.

They're all problem children who have no manners. I'm terribly sorry.

I think he is awfully serious. That's why he talks the way he does.

You mean Takt?

Someone like me shows up out of nowhere and says she's in charge.

Ordinarily, there will be pushback.

It's probably hard to find the right perspective.

You're sure to get along with them well,

if you're the kind of instructor who can say that.

Thanks, Assistant Amakasu.

Not at all.

Yosuke?!

Why are you dressed like that?

It should be obvious by looking at me.

You mean you broke out?

Are you the Rider that charged into the red barrier?

You wouldn't happen to be...

Akira Asagi. Nice to meet you.

Was that... a Nightfly O'Note?

He is one of them, but he isn't our enemy.

He's a Substance, one of our partners.

He's a resident of the red world that has chosen to coexist with us,

as well as being one of the 6th Combat Unit's members.

Please come with me. I'll introduce you to them.

What's this?

A welcome party for the instructor. Attendance is mandatory.

I'll speak to you later.

"Welcome Party for Hako and Akira" "Meet on the beach at Ryukyu LAG!!"

Great expression! Guys, this is the instructor!

Welcome to our castle!

Oh, she's cute.

H-Hyo-hyo.

My, she's super-spunky!

Hya-hi!

Take it easy, all of you.

Hyuh?

Wh-What was that?

Come on out here, Fool-nandes!

Les! You're asking for it!

Why, you!

Ha-ha! What a funny face!

Yosuke's partner, Fernandes, and Takt's partner, Lespaul.

The two of them are always like that.

Um, shouldn't we stop them?

Let them be. It would be ridiculous for us to get caught up in that.

Hey, you two! Let's take a picture!

Smile!

What's one plus one?

"Ni!"

Okay, fight time is over.

What just happened?

Heh, when someone as cute as she is says so, what can you do?

Nice going, Akira.

Mm-hmm, my compliments on putting them in their place.

You're quite adept at handling men, aren't you? Aren't you?

Hya-hi-hya, hyo-hi hya-he-hyu?

You're tickling me!

Are these readings from...

Epiphone?

You can tell, too, can't you?

That she has returned?

We've finally obtained approval for our XechS operation.

Everything so far has gone exactly as planned.

The unstable element was the Dirigent's condition.

After adjusting her memories, she has been assigned to be an instructor.

What is the risk of a breakdown?

We can't afford to lose control over the VOX a second time.

The conditioning is perfect. It won't be a problem.

I believe you. So, when is the next incursion?

It has been seven days since the previous incursion.

The next one could be coming at any time now.

I look forward to it. Every time the Riders win, our power expands.

I place it in your hands, Director Ishidera.

Leave it to me.

What did you want to talk about?

I'm not about to be treated like a lab animal at the hospital anymore.

I had a word with the Research Unit.

I can't have them monopolizing one of my Riders.

Rider, huh?

Thanks to you finally managing to transform,

you were able to save her.

Her... Tell me, the girl from inside there is our instructor, right?

You figured that out, did you?

Yeah.

I wish I was dead.

I could never forget those eyes.

So, who is that girl, anyway?

All I can say is that she is a special being.

One of LAG's top secrets.

I see. Okay, I won't ask any more, nor will I tell anyone else.

You're being unusually accepting, huh?

Not really. If she's top secret, asking about her won't do any good.

I managed to transform. I have someone I can fight with.

That's enough. They're going to attack again, right?

Yes. And when they do, we'll look to you.

Work effectively under the instructor's guidance.

We'll get them.

Oh, I like what I'm smelling!

Looks like you worked hard on the curry.

Not really. It was a Cooking Club activity.

Huh? You're in the Cooking Club?

There's a Cooking Club?

I just finished it.

What does that mean? You're a funny one.

Hey, Kazuki, what did you bring?

My new song!

You're going to ruin our appetites!

No!

You're supposed to bring something to eat.

Nothing shall live by bread alone. Music is life and food.

Guys!

Ah, here comes our instructor!

Wow, this looks so good! Here you go.

I bought some ice cream.

Isn't that too much?

Huh?

This one's mine.

You have max blushing going on, Takt.

Great minds think alike, huh?
