Daichi elimination(10).

"Our warehouse of deceit and betrayal is looking good," the game master said, glancing at the screen.

"Excuse me," Tsumuri said as she entered the game master's office. She walked towards him and remarked, "Our audience ratings are on the rise."

"Naturally," the game master replied in a voice that suggested such a development was to be expected.

"Sad to say, but the show was far too... behind the times under Giroli. He was all like, 'Greetings! Welcome to my Desite Grand Prix!' and all that," the game master said, seemingly mocking his predecessor.

For some inexplicable reason, a question mark appeared above Tsumuri's head as she listened to the grand master's words.

"A vanilla happy ending isn't what the audience is here for!" the game master continued, still ridiculing his predecessor.

"I wouldn't say so," Tsumuri interjected.

"It's thrill and excitement that the audience yearns for!" Chirami chimed in, getting up.

"What else would entertainment be about?" Chirami asked, acting like a child on drugs. "That's why, as of right now, Aaron is the most popular Rider. He brings entertainment, he is an unknown variable, and his personality is vastly different from all the previous Kamen Riders," Chirami said, holding his face between his hands as a weird noise escaped him.

POV change.

While Daichi tried to sleep, he couldn't shake off the impending threat of elimination. There seemed to be no way for him to survive unless he could identify the disaster.

He left his bed and began searching through other people's belongings. He even managed to sneak into the girls' side of the room undetected. While rummaging through their things, he stumbled upon something in Neon's belongings.

It was the disaster card. Daichi's eyes gleamed with hope as he found his ticket out of this hellhole. He quickly took a picture of it and stealthily tried to make his way back to his tent.

However, fate had other plans as he was leaving the girls' side of the room. The door opened, and Ace's figure appeared, his eyes landing on Daichi. "What were you doing in there?" Ace asked, looking at him.

An uncomfortable silence followed, and just when Daichi thought his situation couldn't worsen, Aaron appeared, looking like he had been searching for something for a long time. He held something in his hand, but his gaze soon fell upon Daichi, and a smile formed on his face.

Daichi instantly recognized that smile. "I didn't think you were that kind of person," Aaron said with a soft smile, seemingly understanding the situation with just a glance.

His voice was loud enough to wake everyone up, and with Daichi's body still partially inside the girls' side of the room, his trouble escalated to a whole new level.

"What are you doing in here?" Sae's voice demanded from behind him.

His situation went from bad to worse. "So, who was getting the scientist's jewels while I was gone?" Aaron asked nonchalantly, a smile still on his face.

"No one!" Sae exclaimed, her expression revealing her surprise.

"Then why was he in there?" Aaron asked, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Somebody went through our stuff," Neon's voice quivered, displaying a hint of fear.

Aaron didn't miss that fact, and with a gentle smile, he said, "So now you're going through people's stuff. What's your excuse?"

"I found out who the disaster is. It's Neon," Daichi blurted out, desperately trying to extricate himself from the situation.

"So now you're trying to accuse someone else of being the disaster. Do you have no shame? Apart from being a horrible liar and manipulator, you're also a closet pervert. I didn't know that," Aaron said with a nonchalant attitude.

He then walked towards Daichi and promptly took his monster buckle. "I'll just take this from you, as you've proven that someone like you can't be trusted."

He walked away, waving his hand dismissively, and said, "You all do what you want. Just don't be too loud, as I am going to sleep."

Meanwhile, somewhere else in an alleyway, Michinaga struggled to get up as his body failed him. He noticed two people's feet approaching him before he passed out. The last thing he heard was, "Move him."

POV change again.

As Daichi vanished in a blue light and the voice announced "Retired," nobody was left in the room. It was a unanimous vote, with everyone voting for Daichi without exception.

However, Aaron was still there, occupied with something in his tent. He wasn't surprised that Daichi turned out not to be the disaster. If what Daichi said before he died was to be trusted, then the disaster was Neon.

A/N I felt like it to be fair, two chapters in one day…that nice
