CH 37

A giant mysterious being with the head of a shark and a giant robot were punching each other while knocking down trees in a beautiful forest park.

「Megalodon Kick, ssu!!」

『What the! Ultimate V Slash!!』

The surface of the lake ripples wildly as sparks fly from each other’s attacks. It was like a battle of gods, the helpless humans could do nothing but run for cover.

「Ugyaaaa, ssu!!」

A huge shadow passes over the head of Rintaro, who had turned into the heinous mysterious Death Green. King Victory’s fierce attack sent the fanged shark mysterious being Samegaro flying and landing on her butts.

The impact was like that of a small meteorite. The earth shook and the asphalt cracked.

「Anikiiii, They are strong as expected, ssuuuu」

「That’s why I’ve told you didn’t I? Samecchi, look closely at your opponent!」

From a few dozen meters above, he could hear Samecchi’s weak voice. But Rintaro knew that King Victory was not in its element today.

King Victory converts the obsession for victory, or victory power, of its passengers into its driving force. Naturally it’s better to have 2 member rather than 1, and the full member of 5 rather than 2 for the output to increase.

With Rintaro out, the current Victor Rangers are without one of their own, and with the exception of Red, who is relatively lightly injured, they are all half-dead.　

As evidenced by the fact that they haven’t been able to sure-kill with their sure-kill move,‘Ultimate V Slash’.

「Samecchi, you can do it! Your opponents are barely breathing!」

「Uooo I am on fire, ssuuuu! Samecchi will draw them into the field Samecchi is good at and stop them from breathing, ssuuu!」

Samecchi jumps into the lake with a big splash.

「Oryaaa, ssu! Sure-kill Shark Fin Cutter, ssu!」

『Gwaaaaaaaa! What the hell is this!!』

The shark sucked up the water from the lake and released a high-pressure stream blade. The inexhaustible blade attacked King Victory, whose power output was insufficient.

Although the depth of the water was only up to her waist, she was like a fish in water, or rather, a shark. Aquatic mysterious beings boast unparalleled strength in watery environments, and Sameachi is no exception.　

It seemed like only a matter of time before a giant mysterious being defeated a robot in a historic victory.

Pipipipopopopi！

At that moment, Rintaro’s gear made an electronic sound alerting him of communication.

『Halloo, It’s me ja yo, Rintaro. You must be very happy to listen to my cute voice』

「That voice is, General Tagaraak!?」

The caller was one of Ark Dominion’s three executives, ‘Real Beauty Incarnate Blonde-haired Blue-eyed ja Loli Professor’ also known as Machinery General Tagaraak. By the way, Rintaro calls her ‘Children Lunch Setting’ in his mind.

「What do you want at this busy time? Even if you say that, it seems like it’s about to be resolved, though.”」

『Muhoho, that’s obvious. You guys are fighting King Victory there right now, ja ro? I have to tell you something important about it, ja.』

「What did you say?」

Instead of his usual light tone, Tagaraak’s voice was serious. Is there a secret hidden in King Victory that even Rintaro doesn’t know about? If that’s the case, Samecchi who is facing it is in danger.

『Actually……』

「Actually……？」

Rintaro gulped and swallowed.

『I’d like to add King Victory to my collection, but I don’t know if I can get it intact.』

「…………Yes?」

『You know I’m super strong, ja ro?　I have a collection of all the hero team robots that I’ve destroyed, jakedo, they are in the basement of the base, ja. I wanted to add King Victory to my collection.』

「……I’ll hang up, you know？」

『Aaah, wait no ja!　What do you want in exchange, ja?　Money?　I have plenty of money!　How much, ja?　How much do you want, ja, Come on, tell me!』

Rintaro braced himself to see if he was going to say something important, but it was all for nothing. Tagaraak was just trying to get his hands on King Victory for his own personal gain.

「Putting aside if it was me, but the one fighting is Samecchi, you know? There is no way she can do such dexterious act.」

『Why, ja!? King Victory is weak as shit right now, no jaro? It’s not every day you get a chance like this, jaro gai!』

「Well, Samecchi is about to win, so there is a chance……」

Rintaro was surprised at his own words when he said that much. Why is King Victory fighting in such a battered state?

That’s what had been bothering him. The fact that King Victory is struggling so much against Sametchi alone is truly an extraordinary situation.

Let’s think about it.

Normally, this would have been a scene where it would have taken on both Death Green and Samecchi at the same time and been forced into a two-on-one battle. No, he left the scene in a flash, but if you include Panic Dile, there were at least three mysterious beings in that scene.

And they knew in advance that there were multiple mysterious beings. It was because they knew that they had deliberately let the stray mysterious beings swim and ambush them. If they were not in a good position, they could have just stayed hidden in the lake.

『Ooi Rintaro? Can you hear me? Ooiii!!』

「Wait…… Could it be…… I overlooked something……?」

Instead of fighting on a field that is advantageous to his opponent, he first creates a winnable situation and then challenges his opponent to a fight. This is the basic fighting process that Rintaro himself had repeatedly used to achieve victory. The battle between the two parties is merely a post-processing step to achieve the victory he had envisioned.

Then what these heroes are doing now is the work of a genuine idiot.

Yellow and Red had fought the mysterious being Samecchi once before. They must have known about the existence of the “aquatic mysterious being” Samecchi.

Even so, would they would go to the trouble of assembling the injured Victor Rangers and challenged them to a game with little chance of winning at Lake Sayama, which is rich in water sources.

「No, Such thing… Think think think…」

These heroes fight not for righteous indignation or revenge, but for victory. Red certainly said so, ‘This is the perfect opportunity to defeat Death Green’.

So, even if they are fighting in a lake, a field in which the shark mysterious being excels. Even if Death Green grows to a huge size and joins the fight from here, they are fighting because we have a chance of winning.

「Damn it! So that’s how it is!」

There was only one conclusion that could be drawn from these inferences. Rintaro bit his lip, wondering why he didn’t come to that conclusion.

「Shark, retreat!　You gotta get out of the lake now!」

Almost at the same time, Rintaro’s shout reached Samecchi. A huge palm grabbed Samecchi’s leg, which was half submerged in the lake.

「Uhyaaaaa, ssu!?」

A second giant appeared, splitting Sayama Lake, and swung and threw Sametchi in the style of a giant swing.

Zuzuuuuuuun…….

The huge body of Sametchi, gouges the earth as she was being thrown sideways.

「Kyuuuuu, ssu……」

『From the South Saitama branch, Samurai Sentai Harakiranger!　Here we come!　No offense, but heinous mysterious Death Green and his servant. In a turbulent world, hiding your troops is a common strategy in warfare, ni gozaru.』

The second giant robot appeared out of nowhere, followed by more giant robots not only from Lake Sayama but also from the neighboring Lake Tama.

『From the West Saitama Branch, Gouken Sentai Dosseiger!　we’ll beat you up!』

『From the East Saitama Branch, Heavy Sentai Shield Variant!　Let’s protect our future!』

『From the West Tokyo Branch, Kirameki Sentai Romeo Five. Dance! Together with the music of my rondo[1]!』

The steel bodies shone brilliantly under the sunlight, repelling water droplets. A single robot would inspire awe, two would inspire fear, and three or more would inspire despair. It was an end-of-the-century scene, as if the final war had broken out.

「Are you kidding me oi…… You guys would actually go that far……!?」

The number of giant robots, including King Victory, was well over eight. Almost all the robots from all over Tokyo and Saitama were gathered in one place.
