Now that I'm living in the human world,
Shouma and a human called Sachika asked me to help with their odd-jobs.
One of the requests came from a boy named Kouji-kun,
which became a pain after we found a Stomach employee was involved.
What kind of idiot are you, making an enemy of Stomach Inc.?
The only idiots here are you lot going ga-ga over Dark Treats.
You're just wilfully getting exploited before being discarded.
I'm not that foolish-
unlike your brother.
You know of Comel...?
Just rumours from an acquaintance.
Some idiot of a part-timer got cold feet halfway in and tried to run away, or so I heard.
Bastard...
Shut that filthy mouth of yours.
CUP ON!
Henshin!
PUDDING! VRAM SYSTEM!
Come on!
VRAM BREAKER!
Take it back...!
Comel wasn't a coward! He was just too kind for his own good!
SET!
That's why... That's why he-
That's why they culled him to make an example out of him?
I did something unforgivable...
Comel...

Episode 26 - Pudding on the verge of snapping from rage
I told you it was dangerous.
- It was stolen from me. - Stolen?
That channel was created by me.
I started virtual streaming to share my love of sweets.
All the research and illustrations for the Helmet Boy channel was my own work, too.
Really!? That's pretty impressive!
I was slowly getting more viewers,
but one day, I suddenly found that my channel had gotten hacked.
Someone else had started acting as Helmet Boy in my place.
Although it really bothered me,
the breaking point was an odd comment I noticed, one day.
"I eagerly await your response!"
There were apparently people who went to meet him in person, and never returned.
We saw that too!
It pissed me off knowing real crimes might be happening,
so I messaged him as a fake fan to try and get the channel back...
...and I got a response, inviting me over.
So you came to us to help get you in?
Ugh. Why didn't you say so in the first place?
Because I didn't want anyone to know I'm Helmet Boy!
No one at school knows I stream, and I just wanted to investigate, today!
But once I was face-to-face with him, I just couldn't let it slide.
Please, I want to get Helmet Boy back! I need you to come with me!
He's a monster, give it up.
- I refuse! - What's a human going to do against that?
I'd rather die than see Helmet Boy get used for crimes!
You what...?
Hey, you shouldn't say that so lightly...
Fine, I'll go on my own.
Hang on, Kouji-kun-
- Lakian, we gotta go after him! - Not my problem.
What's got you so grumpy?
Kouji-kun!
How's it look?
Mmm, the dark choco's straining your body more than I expected.
Any pain right now?
Just...a little.
And during combat?
None! If anything, I feel better than usual.
For now, I better take 'em back for some tweaking.
Sorry, you'll have to make do transforming with Shouma-kun's ones in the meantime.
She was desparately trying to escape... but because she stopped to help me...
I...don't want to see your face right now.
I'm still using 'em!
That said, one that didn't strain me so bad would still be nice.
Sure. I'll see what I can do.
- I'm home... - What happened? You look ready to fall over!
- Sorry... - Take a seat!
Thanks.
Sorry, my lookalike was causing trouble again.
Here, eat up.
Thank you. I'll enjoy it.
Should I let Hanty know?
It's fine, no need for that.
What happened with Helmet Boy?
Yeah, he turned out to be a Granute.
Lakian kept Kouji-kun safe, though.
Helmet Boy was actually Kouji-kun's creation, but that Granute hacked his channel.
He was luring fans to kidnap them?
Yeah. Kouji-kun wanted the channel back real bad, so he bolted out, fuming.
I went after him, but he gave me the slip.
Everyone!
Can you look for Kouji-kun?
Speaking of which, where's Lakia?
Oh, he just wandered off.
Something was off about him.
Off?
It probably reminded him of his little brother...
Little brother?
Lakia's brother also passed away because of Stomach Inc.
That's horrible...
Oh.
I'd rather die than see Helmet Boy get used for crimes!
You what...?
Right...that'd do it.
There he is!
Lakia.
Can you help us look for Kouji-kun?
Whatever happens to some human is not my problem.
Weren't you worried about him?
He's not going to listen. Just leave him be.
Okay, okay, we'll do it like this:
You're on HapiPare's payroll today, aren't you?
Boss's order; go find Kouji-kun for me.
Hah? Why?
I set this operation up to make people happy.
And Kouji-kun's not going to be happy until his request has been fulfilled.
Worst case scenario, he ends up as a Dark Treat, even.
You're not going to be happy about that, right?
Eh?
Don't wait until it's too late, only to regret it.
I want you to be happy as well, Lakian.
Eh? This one knows where Kouji-kun is!
Really? That's good!
That means he's still safe.
- Let's go get him- - Fine.
I agreed to this job. I'll go get him.
Oi, take me to him.
You've located Laage9?
Yes.
I had a particularly close shave with him.
That strength of his is not normal.
If I may, could I request your assistance with this matter?
Very well. Where is he?
I shall draw him to us. Options are aplenty.
Understood.
By the way, I do hope this help doesn't come out of my pay.
When it comes to my dear Hanto-kun...
it's gotta be chocolate-related, I guess.
Greetings, Suga-san.
It's been a while, Nyelv-kun!
I've been busy cleaning up.
Ah, Vram-kun did backstab you.
It happens.
What's that?
I've started developing artificial minions like yours, while planning my upgrade for Valen.
You're awfully fond of him, but I don't see the appeal.
Really?
To me, he is a vital person with the makings of a potential saviour.
Heh?
You don't have to hide them.
I'm not here to chew you out for being all talk after bolting out.
- Sure you're not. - Trust me.
I'm glad you didn't go there alone.
You really love sweets, don't you?
I wanted to share that with people, that's why I started streaming.
And it made me happy to see how much everyone was enjoying it.
That channel was a place full of joy.
It meant the world to me.
But maybe it's time for me to let it go...
Not yet. This handyman will do something about it.
Eh? You will?
I know what it's like to have something precious taken from you, and even laughed at for it.
Take it.
Aren't those your favourite?
You made my day.
- Here, Nii-chan! - Thanks.
- It's delicious! - It's so tasty!
Not half bad.
Good to know.
Another one?
Oh, look at this!
"I'm holding a fan meeting limited to ten people!"
"A scrumptious pudding awaits you!"
"Apply now!"
- Helmet Boy will definitely be here! - Yeah.
Hello, Lakia?
We've found Helmet Boy's whereabouts.
Sounds like he's luring me out.
Fine by me. I'll take the bait.
It's delicious!
Thank you all for coming.
In return, I will be making the finest treats out of you.
Did you enjoy yourselves? Tasty, weren't they-
That's enough.
Haha, how wonderful.
I was waiting for you.
Mind handing those over?
What, now you want Dark Treats all of a sudden?
Alright, consider them yours-
after I've laid you low, that is.
CUP ON!
Henshin!
PUDDING! VRAM SYSTEM!
Again...!?
Using these helps suppress it...I think...
CHOCO! SET CHOCO!
No...they might be making it worse...
What do you think? I'll be swimming in Dark Treats after taking you down!
You could say I've won at life!
Unlike your foolish, cowardly brother!
You dare...!?
Let's go-bei.
ICE!
Henshin!
BLIZZARD SORBET!
CHILLY CHILLY!
Let's go!
Cake!?
WHIP PARTY!
They're like soft serves!
It must've been the ice-cream cake!
Let's do this!
*CLING!*
This time, we'll finish this before it melts!
- Shouma? - Sorry I'm late!
It's true that Comel did something foolish.
But he realised his mistake and tried to turn himself around!
What about you?
What wrong is there for me to turn away from?
We should be grateful for Stomach Inc.'s existence!
So you choose to side with Stomach and their Dark Treats to the end?
That's right! Even death can't deter me!
Alright.
Then you can fall with them.
CUP ON!
JELLY! VRAM SYSTEM!
INVISIBLE JELLY!
Where did-
JELLY OVER!
INVISIBLE JELLY!
JELLY OVER!
INVISIBLE JELLY!
JELLY OVER!
VRAM SLASH!
*TING!*
WINNER!
Oh, I got a win!
You okay?
This should do it!
SORBEI!
DECORATION!
This doesn't look good.
It's time to make my exit!
Why do I feel so heavy!?
JELLY OVER!
My horn!!
I'm taking back what Kouji holds dear!
SET!
VRAM SLASH!
Sachika-san, Kouji-kun's stream is about to start!
You mean Helmet Boy's, not Kouji-kun's.
You bought pudding, Lakia?
Why all of a sudden?
He bought it with his pay. Kouji-kun recommended it.
"Let's get started. Welcome to Helmet Boy's channel!"
It's starting!
Today we have a rich, custard pudding!
"The richness of the flavour will instantly fill your mouth!"
"Make sure you try it!"
By the way, Lakia-
how was it, working for HapiPare?
It helped me realise humans have their own stories as well.
Let's just say this world isn't half bad.
That looks really good! Can I have some?
You can't have it right now, right? I'll have some for you!
I want some too!
- Got one! - Lucky!
Look, look! We made another minion!
From choc chip cookies.
Next time on Kamen Rider Gavv:
I'm Shouma's granduncle!
What did you do to Hanto?
I had something to show you.
Henshin!
This was my fault!!
I have to go!
Episode 27 - Sour and sweet to the point of burning
Fight me, Shouma-kun!
