The Guardian (Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Crossover)

Chapter 3 The Deep Secret of Some Lie

Ophelia yawned after she finished her last round to check the patients. She's working the night shift at Tokyo Hospital as a Paediatric Nurse. The black-haired woman prefers to work with children because they're easier to deal with than adults.

"You finish the last round, Barron-san?" She hums and turns around to meet one of her colleagues, Ena Sakura.

Ena Sakura is one of the Pediatrician Doctors and Ophelia's colleagues. Sakura and Ophelia have clicked each other fast due to their similar interests.

"Yes. I'm going to go home after this, Sakura-san." Ophelia assured her fellow doctor.

"You're working so hard for your first day and have fans already, girl." She teased the black-haired woman and she laughed nervously.

"I'm doing the job, ma'am and I'm sure you have also a fan too." Ophelia retorted back with a teasing smile while Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Flattering will get you nowhere, Barron-san. Please, stop calling me ma'am 'cause I feel so old." Sakura whined and Ophelia chuckled under her breath. "Go before I'll give you an extra job." She threatened her with a hint of a joke.

"Thank you and have a nice day at work." She only received a wave from her.

"You too, have a nice deep sleep, sleeping beauty." Sakura teased the black-haired woman while she laughed in response.

Once Ophelia left the hospital she sighed in relief and couldn't wait to sleep in her bed all day. "All in the day's work and beautiful weather for a good day—" Her phone beeps and she looks at the caller to see Emu. "Hello, Emu." She greeted her childhood friend.

"Ah, Fee-chan!" She yelps and pulls her phone away from the yell. "Are you busy!?"

"First of all, lower your voice before you damage my eardrum." Ophelia warned Emu and he immediately apologized for raising his voice. "Second, I just finished my night shift. Is there something wrong?"

"We have a new patient and he has two Game Syndrome inside of him." Emu explained. "I know you're tired and I just wanted to tell you about it." He feels bad after knowing Ophelia just finished her night shift work.

"Look, Emu." Ophelia rubs her forehead. "From the performance you and the others did for the past few days, I don't think you need me." She wanted to help them but the more she was involved, the black Ex-Aid and the Bugster would investigate about her. Ophelia is involved twice given her sudden appearance back then and the enemies are going to be more curious and wary of her abilities. "I trust your judgment and if it makes you feel at ease, Luna will join you." Ophelia suggested and no doubt Luna would agree.

"No offense, Fee-chan. How can Luna help us if she's small?" Emu couldn't help but doubt Luna's help.

"She's more than just an android, my friend." She assured him and Emu couldn't help but feel dreadful about the idea of leaving Luna with him.

"I trust my master's judgment but you? Never!" Luna exclaimed she was currently in the CR's quarantine room with Asuna and Emu.

Just as Ophelia's promise, Luna is going to join them alone without her given she's tired from the night's job. Luna never trusts them even one bit because she barely knows them despite the reassurance. The female android simply glares at Emu and Asuna while they gulp nervously at the menacing attitude they'd received.

"For someone small, she's scary." Emu commented in a hushed tone while Asuna rapidly nods her head. "Um... thank you for coming here, Luna-san."

"Hmph!" She crosses her arms and huffs in anger. "If Ophelia-sama didn't ask me to come, I wouldn't be here but to stay by her side! " Luna didn't want to refuse Ophelia's requests knowing she's going to get worried if they're in grave danger. Her job is to aid them and call Ophelia if things get rough.
