Sento gasps from another memory of his past. He could feel the warmth on his hand and grip it. The genius physicist couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. 'Ho-how!? I thought she was with them!' He exclaimed mentally while watching her sleeping at the edge of his bed.

"You're alive." He glanced up to see Souichi, relieved to see him all right. "It's fine now."

"Luella-san was supposed to be with them?" The genius physicists asked curiously.

"I found you by the warehouse and called Luella-san to help me." Souichi answered and stroked Luella's head. "We brought you back, and it seems you were poisoned. We were almost too late, y'know." They were scared of nearly losing Sento, but he managed to create an antidote for him to cure his poison.

Luella stirred from the stroke of her head and opened her eyes to see Sento regain consciousness. "Sento-san? How are you feeling?" She asked worriedly while rubbing her eyes.

"I'm fine now. How did you manage to come back? Not that I'm ungrateful or anything." Sento rambled nervously.

Luella gripped Sento's hand and smiled lightly. "Being the heiress of Mamoru Technologies has its perks." She answered while Sento knew Luella would use one of her parent's latest inventions for emergencies. "Souichi called me and asked for help. How did you get poison?" She asked curiously while masking her suspiciousness about Souichi. 'I'm amazed how he could create an antidote to cure his poison despite his knowledge of the cafe business. I couldn't read his aura properly. It's like he's hiding something.' The female detective thought.

"That cobra got me..." Sento answered and remembered being stabbed in the back.

"I'll assume it's not a snake bite because Souichi-san and I couldn't see its bite mark." Luella pointed out while he nodded his head.

"I didn't see his face, but... he got a cobra mark on his chest." He explained while Luella furrowed her eyebrows in deep thought.

'Another Kamen Rider?' The female detective asked mentally while waiting for Sento to finish his explanation.

"Something about him reminded me of Rogue, " he whispered before his phone rang. The genius physicists answered. "Banjou? Did you make it to Seito?"

"Yeah, just now." Banjou answered while marking a map to find Nabeshima's family's location. A lady that Build and Ice Knight rescued is giving us a ride, and Ji-yoo knows the location of Nabeshima's family. He even arranged a car for us. How the heck did Detective Mamoru become close friends with him!?" He asked, and it freaked him out that Ji-yoo had some connections in Seito.

Sento gives Luella a hand signal to sit beside him, and she does. "She's the only one who can talk through Ji, and I'm sure he has his usual stoic look." Luella playfully slaps his shoulder, and he gives her a cheeky smile.

"Yeah, and I swear this guy could kill us by his stare." Ryuuga shuddered in fear, having Ji-Yoo join the rescue mission without Luella to ease the tension.

"I know Ji-yoo can be difficult sometimes." Luella spoke up while Sento raised his eyebrow at her. "I mean, always without me around, but— he's a good guy with difficulty expressing himself. Try to get along with him." He nodded his head in agreement.

The wanted fugitive sighed heavily. "Easier said than done. I'll try since you guys risk your job for me." He'll try to get along with the disguised detective.

"Things have been kinda busy over here too." Sento changed the subject. "That Smash I fought was Nabeshima. Then he was kidnapped."

"Seriously?" He asked in a disbelieving tone while gripping the phone. 'Detective Mamoru and Detective Frost are right that he's missing.' Ryuuga glanced at Ji-yoo while staring at the water with his usual stoic look and ignored Sawa's words.
