The scene is back in the top floor with the Swords of Darkness on the Left Side of the Table and Kamen Rider Zi-O with Naberal Gamma on the right. Facing them is Nphirea Balear who is introducing himself.

Nphirea: I am Nphirea Balear. I work as a Pharmacist here in this city. This time I plan to go to the forest near Carne Village to gather some herbs.

Zi-O: *mind* Carne Village?

Nphirea: I would like you to help me and guard me collecting the herbs during the trip.

Zi-O:  Guard you... *mind* This is really a bit troublesome... I don't have the skills to protect a third party.

Nphirea: The reward will be the usual amount of...

Zi-O: Peter-san. Do you have any interest to be hired by me?

Peter: What do you mean?

Zi-O: For a body guarding request, a ranger like Mr. Lukrut is necessary. And if we are in the forest, wouldn't having a druid like Mr. Dyne be in a useful situation?

Dyne: Yes. You possess keen insight, Zi-O san.

Lukrut: I don't mind at all.

Peter: We'll be greatful for the request!

Nphirea: I am alright with it, as well.

Zi-O: Good, then, one last question.

Nphirea: Hai.

Zi-O: Why did you request me? I just came to this town yesterday. I have no friends here, much less acquiantances. So why?

Nphirea: Actually, I know what happened at the inn.

Zi-O: The Inn?

Nphirea: Yes, I heard from a customer that you defeated upper ranking adventurers in a blink of an eye. The person I normally request has been recently moved to another town, so I thought it would be the perfect chance to try someone new. I also thought it would be cheaper hiring a copper plate.

Zi-O: *holds his copper plate necklace* True.

Nphirea: Do you have any other questions?

Peter: No, we can leave anytime.

Zi-O: *mind* I don't think so... if by chance...

Nphirea: I understand. Then let's go immediately.

Now they are now heading to the forest as the Adventurers are escorting Nphirea while he rides a horse with a carrier.

Nphirea: Peter-san. Should we take a break around that area?

Peter looked at the grassy area with a tree facing a beautiful river.

Peter: Good idea. Zi-O-san.

Zi-O and Nabe stopped walking.

Zi-O: I understand.

They were taking a break from the river ad Nphirea's horse drinks the water, the rest of the Adventurers are sitting on the rocks while Peter and Lukrut are scouting what lies ahead of the forest.

Peter: Zi-O-san, things will get really dangerous from here.

Zi-O: I understand, we will be careful. *mind* I can't use most of my magic in this armor. But I can use the Rider's Powers from here on out.

He glanced at Naberal who nods.

Zi-O: *mind* Naberal will use fifth-tier magic if necessary. It will be great once it takes care of everything. Although, I do have Kamen Rider Wizard's Power which means magic. Although it is also a last resort. If that's not enough, I'll get a bit serious.

Lukrut: Hey, Nabe-chan! Don't worry too much! There'll be no problems with I'm as the eyes and ears of the team! Well, aren't I amazing?

Nabe: This mosquito...

Zi-O: Nabe, control yourself.

Nabe: Will you allow me to squash him?

Lukrut: Jeez! You're as harsh as usual, Nabe-chan!

But Nabe kicks him in the balls so much he fell to the ground and into the river.

The Swords of Darkness sighed.

Peter: Lukrut, you idiot.

Ninya: This area is the Wise King of the Forest Territory, right?

Zi-O: Wise King of the Forest?

Nphirea: It's a mighty living creature that has lived for thousands of years. It's a silver four-legged creature with a tail of a snake. It is wise and can use magic as well.

Zi-O: It would be interesting meeting such a creature.

After that, Nphirea chained the horse with the carrier.

Zi-O: You can do much things with magic?

Nphirea: Yes. It is called creation magic. You can make things such as salt and sugar. There is also magic like Alarm that can warn you against nearby dangers...

Peter walks back carrying Lukrut who is dripping wet and Ninya peaks up and listens to Zi-O and Nphirea's conversation.

Zi-O: Then, let me ask you this? *mind* The more I know, the more questions I have. It seemed their technology level is that of the Middle Ages, but the sophiscation of magic is on another level. Luckily I have Kamen Rider Build's power and ridewatch.

Lukrut: Nabe-chan, you're always super composed. It's because you believe in my eyes and ears after all?

Nabe kicks him in the balls again.

Nabe: That's because Mr. Zi-O is here.

Zi-O touches her shoulder which makes her gasp and sighed in defeat.

Lukrut: Hey... Aren't the two of you lovers after all...

Nabe: *blushing* L-L-Lovers?! What are you saying?! He has Lady Albedo at hi-- *she was covered in the mouth by an embarassed Zi-O*

Zi-O: Hey, hey, hey! What are you saying?!

The situation became awkward.

Zi-O: Mr. Lukrut, can you please stop looking into our personal lives?

Lukrut: Oh excuse me, I didn't know that Zi-O has somebody on his side.

But Peter slapped his head.

Peter: Just shut up, you dumb. I apologize in behalf of my friend. He has ADHD.

Lukrut: OI! That's pretty hurtful you know!

Zi-O: It's fine. There is no problem as long as he is very careful from now on.

Peter: Lukrut, seriously, you need to stop that.

But Lukrut raises his hand suprising Peter.

Lukrut: They are coming.

Peter: What?! Where?

Lukrut: Over there.

The Armies of Goblins and Ogres has arrived.

Lukrut: Looks like we can't avoid fighting after all.

Peter: Nphirea-san, would you please stay behind the cart?

Nphirea: Yes, please take care of me.

Peter: Zi-O-san, how should we split our forces?

Zi-O: Could you all please protect Mr. Nphirea? Let us show him how we can easily destroy those creatures.

Peter: Right. However, we will provide support as much as we can.

Ninya: However, if we start fighting like this, they may escape to the forest.

Lukrut: Then let's do the usual. Let's pull out the turtle head from it's shell.

Dyne: That sounds good. Then, Peter,
though Zi-O-san can block the enemy's attack, how shall we deal with the enemies managed through?

Peter: *draws his sword* I will draw the Martial Art: Fortress that will drive the ogres back. Dyne will take care of the Goblins.

Dyne: *grips his spear* Understood.

Peter: Ninya will protect me with defense magic. And that, follow the flow of battle with attack magic.

Ninya: Yes, roger.

Peter: Please, hunt the goblins, Lukrut. If any ogres get through, you can handle them as well.

Lukrut: I'm no Goblin Slayer, but leave it to me.

Peter: Zi-O-san, will that be acceptable?

Zi-O: Yes.

Peter: Swords of Darkness! Assemble!
