Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

Most of the members in the chat group who hadn't seen *Kamen Rider Decade* had no idea what Spider Girl meant by "the death question."

In fact, it wasn't just them,

Even Tsukasa himself was completely confused.

『Passing Masked Rider』: Uh… Spider Girl, is it okay if I call you that?

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: ^\_^ Of course, of course! Everyone in the group can call me that!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Though I still don't quite get why I ended up with this nickname.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Maybe because I'm… a spider?

『Passing Masked Rider』: Alright then, Spider Girl.

『Passing Masked Rider』: That "death question" you mentioned earlier…

『Passing Masked Rider』: I seriously have no idea what that is.

『Sherry』: Wait, really? You don't even know it yourself?

『My Little Sister's a Chunibyo』: That can't be… wasn't Spider Girl asking *you* specifically?

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: I don't really get it either, but it sounds pretty intense!

『Princess of the Senju』: Curious.jpg

『Passing Masked Rider』: I honestly don't know what she's talking about…

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: (?°?°?) Huh?

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: That can't be! The legendary Decade, Tsukasa Kadoya, *not* knowing the death question?!

『Passing Masked Rider』: …

『Passing Masked Rider』: I'm serious. Maybe if you reminded me?

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Alrighty then.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: It's that moment when a villain asks you, "Who are you?"

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: And you respond super dramatically,

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: "Just a passing Kamen Rider. Remember that."

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: That line is *so* cool! Tsukasa, you're a genius!

『Sherry』: ???

『My Little Sister's a Chunibyo』: ???

『Blade King』: ???

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: ???

『God Among Mortals』: ???

『Passing Masked Rider』: ??

『Passing Masked Rider』: …Spider Girl, what are you even saying?

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: The death question, obviously!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Wait… don't tell me it's not a thing?

Tsukasa's first reaction was speechlessness.

Had he really ever been *that* over-the-top?

But after thinking for a moment…

He realized,

Actually, yeah. He *had* said that line multiple times.

Every time someone asked who he was, that phrase just… slipped out.

It wasn't intentional! He swore!

But if he tried to explain that now, would anyone even believe him?

Still, this was important.

His reputation was on the line.

If people in the group thought he'd been doing that *on purpose*…

Especially with his benefactor, Carl, still in the chat...

He *had* to explain!

『Passing Masked Rider』: Uh… Now that I think about it, yeah, I might've said that a few times.

『Passing Masked Rider』: But I really didn't mean to. It just came out naturally.

『Passing Masked Rider』: It was just how I felt in the moment.

『Sherry』: Who would've thought... You have such a strange quirk, Kamen Rider.

『My Little Sister's a Chunibyo』: That's so cool.

『Blade King』: Sneaky laugh.jpg

『God Among Mortals』: 666

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: I think it's super cool too!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: That catchphrase is iconic! Mad respect, Tsukasa!

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: Yeah, that line was awesome! He seems like a good guy.

『Sherry』: Cool and kind, what a combo.

『My Little Sister's a Chunibyo』: Cool and kind.

『Blade King』: Cool and kind.

『Princess of the Senju』: Cool and kind.

『God Among Mortals』: Cool and kind.

For Spider Girl and Itadori, both otaku and upbeat types, Tsukasa's line really *was* cool.

As for the rest of the group…

Yeah, they were clearly just piling on for fun.

At first, Tsukasa was already a little embarrassed about the "death question."

Now, seeing the entire group repeat the same line like parrots…

Even Carl joined in.

No matter how joking it was, Tsukasa suddenly felt the urge to run.

---

『Passing Masked Rider』: I just remembered something urgent. Gotta go.

『Passing Masked Rider』: You guys chat without me. Later.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Huh? So sudden?

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Alright then, see you later, Kamen Rider!

『Sherry』: Looks like he really bailed.

『My Little Sister's a Chunibyo』: Definitely a tactical retreat.

『Blade King』: Can't blame him… That catchphrase was a bit much.

『Pink-Haired Vessel』: Huh? I thought it was super cool.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Agreed. Hot-blooded +1

『God Among Mortals』: +1

『My Little Sister's a Chunibyo』: +1

『Blade King』: +1

Just then,

Spider Girl's eyes lit up as she noticed Carl.

She quickly tagged him.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Boss, are you really Superman? @God Among Mortals

『God Among Mortals』: Sort of. I have Superman's powers and suit.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Wow, that's amazing!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: I'm so jealous. You can even fly!

『God Among Mortals』: No need to be. I get the feeling you'll become someone incredible too.

He wasn't wrong, if he remembered correctly, Spider Girl would eventually become a god.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: ^\_^ Hahaha, is that so? I'll take that as a blessing!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Actually, I've always wanted to ask you something.

Carl raised an eyebrow, remembering Tsukasa's earlier "social death."

『God Among Mortals』: Go ahead.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Why is it that just by putting on glasses, you suddenly become an unrecognizable journalist? Even though people have seen your face before?

So that's what she was curious about.

Carl smiled.

『God Among Mortals』: I'm not Clark Kent.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Huh?

『God Among Mortals』: I have Superman's powers, yes. But my name is Carl Smith.

『God Among Mortals』: And I'm not a reporter. I'm a billionaire.

While he wasn't quite at Iron Man's level, he still had several billion dollars, about the same as Wilson Fisk.

A billionaire in his own right.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Oh? I see… So this must be some kind of parallel universe, then.

『God Among Mortals』: I'm not Clark, but I can still answer your question.

『God Among Mortals』: There's a special ability called Hypnosis.

『God Among Mortals』: By using it, I can conceal my identity at will.

『God Among Mortals』: At least, I can.

『God Among Mortals』: Though it could also be something else entirely.

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Whoa, I see! That's so cool!

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: Superman-senpai is awesome!

『God Among Mortals』: …

Carl couldn't help but smile. This Spider Girl really was just like her anime counterpart.

Talkative, upbeat, and full of questions.

Then again, that probably had a lot to do with the fact that this chat group existed entirely within their minds.
