Hanto and I took a Granute down, even after things got a bit awkward.
I still haven't been able to tell him I'm actually a Granute...
Can I really leave things like this?
- Wow~ Thanks for the treat! - Thanks for the treat!
Yum!
Look how stretchy it is!
- Good thing we joined the community mochi pounding. - Yeah!
The stretchiness is fun, and we got to try all kinds of flavours!
Mochi is amazing!
Gotta note that down...
Mitaarai-san's son Takeshi-kun still hasn't come home?
Yes, he hadn't returned from work, nor called home at all.
He was a nice boy, I can't imagine him running away from home.
Did something happen to Takeshi-kun?
Oh, you know them?
Yeah, they're from my neighbourhood.
They've hired me a few times, too.
I'll ask them about it.
Excuse me, did something happen to Takeshi-kun?
Take 'em.
Now gimme!
Come on!
Good enough.
Oi, that's it!?
"Bring more", is it?
Fine by me.
Watch this master go to work!
That part-timer's gathering a fair amount.
Meaning it won't be long before the red Gavv and his friend catch on.
Finally, a chance to debut my invention.

This is Takeshi-kun.
A missing highschool kid?
Episode 17 - Entangling caramel tentacles taste of joy
And not the kind to run away from home, apparently.
There's a chance a Granute's at work, so I thought I'd let you know.
Maybe it's related to these mass disappearances?
Mass disappearances?
You haven't heard?
People recently vanished from a theatre, and also a courtroom.
And each time, it's all of them at once.
That HAS to be a Gran-
Nothing says for sure, yet. I'm waiting for an eyewitness account.
Ah, what about the prez? She dig up any leads on monsters?
She's out looking for Takeshi-kun right now. He's from around her neighbourhood, apparently.
I'm gonna head out to help. What about you?
I'll...probably keep chasing up the mass disappearances.
I'll keep this Takeshi-kun in mind.
Okay.
- Let me know if something comes up. - Sure.
Can you help look for this boy?
"If they start asking about money, STOP! It might be a scam!" "75.9 million yen is lost daily!" "2.15 million is lost on average per person!"
As our main examples, we'll be covering fake relatives, refund fraud, transfer fraud, fake bills-
My apologies, but this seminar is intended for the elderly.
Excuse me, have you seen Mitaarai Takeshi-kun at all?
He's a highschool student who went missing two days ago.
- Sorry, I don't think we have. - No problem. Thank you.
Excuse me, have you seen this boy around here?
- Sorry. - Thank you.
Excuse me, have you seen this boy around here?
Ugh.
Wait-
Excuse me, have you seen this boy around here?
He went missing two days ago.
Don't think so.
The disappearances have ramped up, huh?
A friend of a friend's daughter went missing, too.
Really?
Was she part that mass disappearance from a theatre?
Apparently not.
But she was good kid, so everyone's worried.
I see. Thank you.
How many more of these damn things do I need to round up...
Hello, Laage9-kun.
Nyelv-sama.
Word has it you're doing a marvellous job gathering Presses.
Thank you.
Oh, I have today's harvest right here.
You can pass those to Lango-niisan's Agent.
Then...what brings you here?
Would you be interested in a secret additional job on the side?
Secret?
Yes. One kept exclusively between you and I.
Between taking that on, and staying faithful to Lango-sama-
which benefits me the most?
You're aware of what your job entails?
Try to keep a low profile, especially since it's you.
That's quite the glare.
Is that your true self?
Interesting, I like it. Feel free to wear your true colours around me.
Then don't mind if I do. I'm a laid back kind of guy.
- You know of the red Gavv and Valen? - Our resident Granute hunters?
Yes. My request is that you turn the hunters into the hunted.
Ughhh. What a pain.
Sounds like more than just a "casual" job to me.
The reward will match-
whether it be in Dark Treats, or something else by your request.
I take it we have an agreement.
The more data I acquire, the more interesting a tool I can devise.
Did he mention where he was going after work?
That day...he mentioned going to Sunlight Hill Park for tennis practice.
Sunlight Hill Park?
Thank you! I'll go have a look.
- Thanks for letting me in. - Not at all.
- And it's only from Screen 2 that people vanished? - Yes.
I went in to clean after the movie was over, and no one was there.
But things were fine at the other screens?
Yes.
Ah, although-
We've lost contact with one of our staff for the past few days, though.
But I guess that's unrelated-
Keep going. So this staff member wasn't part of those disappearances?
No. Yokoi-kun was a polite and kind boy.
He wouldn't take leave all of a sudden.
I see...
Could Takeshi-kun be around here?
Sachika-san? Where are you?
Umasho? I'm headed to Sunlight Hill Park.
It's the last place anyone saw-
Sachika-san?
It cut off?
Hanto?
Shouma! Got anything on your end?
We still haven't found Takeshi-kun,
but I did hear about a girl that's gone missing.
Maybe it's related?
Actually, I heard about another disappearance, myself.
One separate from the mass ones.
Wait, really?
A male staff member from a theatre.
He was polite, nice guy who'd rarely take leave for no reason, apparently.
Polite, nice guy...?
She was good kid, so everyone's worried.
He was a nice boy, I can't imagine him running away from home.
I wonder what happened?
Takeshi-kun and the girl were polite and kind, too!
Wait, maybe people with those traits are getting targeted?
If so...Sachika-san might be in danger!
Delicious!
Now then, time to hit up my hunting grounds.
So Takeshi-kun was here that day?
Yeah, he stretched then played a few light rounds before heading home.
Thanks.
Not here...
And my battery's flat. What now?
The call still won't go through...
Where could she be...
Takeshi-kun's house is over this way, so...
Ah, my scarf!
I got it!
Wait up!
Thank goodness!
Sorry for that!
No worries. It flew pretty far, huh?
Sachika-san!
Umasho?
Thank you for your help!
Not at all!
Something up?
N-Nah, I'm fine.
Go.
- Didn't she seem off!? - Hanty?
Wait up, you!
Sorry.
Huh? What happened?
Lost her...
Hanto.
Why didn't you chase her down? She could've be a Granute!
Well...if I forced a Granute into the open right there, it could've put Sachika-san in danger...
I did send a Gochizou after her, though!
Okay.
I'll let you know if I find her.
...and sorry.
Dammit... I can't help but doubt him of something...
Guess my line of work's to blame.
Still...
- Didn't you hear me? We could get into their- - Don't do it!
Why?!
I mean- we have no idea how dangerous a place it could be...
What if a giant monster suddenly gobbles you up?!
Something was up with him, back then...
Hanto's in the right to suspect me.
I still haven't told him I'm actually a Granute, let alone one of the Stomachs...
Not to mention, the real reason I didn't transform immediately...
was because I didn't want Sachika-san to know what I am...
Maybe I'm really just being selfish.
I just HAD to get interrupted.
Sorry, could you get that?
Ugh.
Thank you, that was nice of you.
That's your method?
Thanks for your slow and steady work.
Who are-
No need to get prickly.
I'm on your side, funnily enough.
Sorry about that Umasho, my battery was flat.
It's fine, I was worried you disappeared as well.
I'm gonna meet up with Hanto!
Don't go out on your own, okay?
- See you! - Wait, what? Umasho?
Here?
Shouma! Where's the Granute?!
I'm sorry, if only I'd gone after it...
Looking for me?
You wanted to know who I was?
There you go!
I knew you were one.
You've been exploiting people's kindness to kidnap them?
Their guillibility made it easy!
You're going down!
CAKE!
GUMMY! EAT GUMMY!
Henshin!
POPPINGUMMY! JUICY!
BUSHUEL! FLUFF & PUFF!
Valen!
Nice!
In that case-
*flap flap flap flap flap*
Gavv!
Use your- you know, that thing!
Get it?!
Oh! Okay!
Let's go!
KICKINGUMMY!
No way!
Wait!
My wings are stuck...!
BUSHUEL!!
Too close...!
Have you seen this boy around here?
Wait-
I saw him earlier...
It's dangerous here, scram!
You're our much rumoured Granute hunters, huh?
He knows about Granutes?
Ugh.
Obviously.
A Granute!?
Alright, let's get cracking.
VRASTUMGEAR!
That's a...!
A Gavv and a Gochizou...?!
CUP ON!
Henshin.
PUDDING! VRAM SYSTEM!
He transformed?!
He's a Kamen Rider as well!?
Hang on, are you here to join us!?
You idiot, he's a Granute!
He's obviously not!
Exactly.
Obviously not.
I'm here to take you down.
Get it now? He's here to keep me safe.
Putting aside why he's got powers like ours-
he's just another face for us to beat in!
Guess I'll rest my wings.
Come on, then.
Ugh.
His strength's on another level...
Next time on Kamen Rider Gavv:
There's no problem with me offing the red Gavv and Valen?
Do it if you can.
That's how you dress up as humans?
Henshin.
We're taking back the people you kidnapped, today!
Episode 18 - The pudding bodyguard is crazy strong!
Ugh. This sucks.
