Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Although Ash, who was the center of the topic, quickly lost his novelty and was now shaking his legs to express his impatience, the girls' eyes were gleaming with curiosity and desire, almost to the point of killing with their eyes and piercing through Ash's disguised shell, as if their goal at this moment was to completely expose the little world in the heart of the young doctor in front of them.

"That's it. That's all I can tell you. Apart from those things that involve my own little secrets, this is the story between Nonoka and I."

stare-------

"Trust me, we are just ordinary patients and doctors. At most, I have more power because of her family's entrustment. You can put away your curiosity. By the way, my own little secret has nothing to do with Nonoka. I won't reveal more about this private matter of mine even if you ask me again."

Facing the particularly interested contestant Emi Ryu, Ash quickly brought out the speech prepared for him by the system at a speed so fast that he didn't even use punctuation marks.

Oh, although it’s not like other systems where you can flirt with the protagonist and make your presence felt, it’s still quite useful in critical moments!

Even though Ash had explained a lot and wasted a lot of time, the curiosity and thirst for knowledge in Emi's eyes still did not diminish. Her body leaned forward and almost pressed against the table, and the words "I'm curious" were almost written in her eyes.

“But I always feel like there’s something else.”

Ash curled his fingers and rubbed his temples. "What's that saying? I hate those intuitive kids."

"Emi, Mr. Ash doesn't intend to continue talking. It would be disrespectful to both him and Ah Hua if you continue asking such questions." As an actress who has worked hard in the entertainment industry and has become more familiar with the ways of the world than anyone else present, Yakushiji Saya has noticed that Ash is becoming more and more impatient, so she spoke out to stop Emi's behavior, and reached out to pat her head to press her back to her original position.

"Ah... yes, I'm sorry!" After being reminded, Emi reacted from her excitement. Looking at Ash's face which had turned into a strong man's gloomy face, she realized that she was jumping rope on the edge of the opponent's bottom line and apologized sincerely. After all, it seemed that if she asked any more questions, everyone would be unhappy.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ash, Emi was a little too excited today." Along with the female college student, Saya, a working person, stood up. She apologized on behalf of her companion in a proper manner, glanced at Nonoka who was looking around, and bowed again.

"Also, thank you for taking care of Xiaohua. She is an important friend to us. I really appreciate it."

"It's okay, I won't care about such a small matter."

Seeing the beautiful blue-haired woman apologizing and thanking him, Ash's anger subsided a lot.

Of course, I, the great Flame of Time, would not care about such trivial matters... This is probably the setting, um, probably.

However, his eyes passed Saya and looked at Emi, who was bowing and apologizing in shame. Looking at the dogmatic aura in her every move, Ash keenly smelled a hint of something unusual.

Is it because you have been suppressed for too long, so when you see a rare opportunity, you choose to vent yourself?

Feeling extremely exhausted, Ash leaned back on the soft sofa. It was indeed extremely troublesome for him to deal with the girl's almost interrogation-like questions. He would rather find a hot-blooded red warrior from the team to fight after assassinating the cruel emperor. At least those guys whose eyes were redder than their uniforms when they saw him had never made him feel so powerless and aggrieved.

Oh, strictly speaking, I am also a red warrior now.

Emi's question almost made him explode. He really wanted to lose his temper. If someone dared to bother him like this, he would have overturned the table and stuffed a gun into the other person's mouth. If the other person was not considered a human being in terms of physical or moral ethics, then there was a high probability that he would pull the trigger directly if the other person was stubborn. This was what he did to Manye, the new student, so there was no need to hesitate.

But there is no way. If you want to enjoy the fun of this identity, you must also abide by the rules of this identity, otherwise it will bring more trouble.

Oh, when I think about it, time has really smoothed out my edges.

Before the "balance" that Nonoka got for saving her life was used up, Ash's principles prevented him from embarrassing his savior. Besides, I am a good doctor.

He picked up his portion of orange juice (which Saaya helped him order) and drank it in one gulp, then asked the waiter for another.

"I'm a little surprised. Doctor Ash also has a side that's not good at dealing with others."

"Even a genius isn't perfect. Unless I decide to stop being a human being, I also have my limits... A glass of orange juice, please. Also, thank you for your hospitality. I'll pay this time." Saying these meaningless words, Ash raised his hand and asked for a third glass of orange juice, and at the same time asked the waiter who brought the drinks and desserts for the bill.

"Ah, how can this be? Dr. Ash, let me do it!" Hui Meili stretched out her hand to stop him, took the bill brought by the waiter and signed her name.

"It's just our little party, how can we let you, Mr. Ash, pay the bill?"

"Then I'd rather obey you." Without making excuses, Ash stood up with peace of mind, patted his gradually wrinkled white coat, and picked up his cell phone.

"I have some things to do, so I'll go back first. Nonoka, if you want to get some candy, go to the clinic yourself. If you forget the way, ask your sister."

"And..." Ash stopped where he was, his hands in his pockets, and turned to Hana and continued, "You have some great friends."

"Okay....Ah, that! Mr. Ash--again--."

Hua came back to her senses after hearing Ash's words and was about to raise her hand to say goodbye, but Ash's clothes, as fast as the wind, had already disappeared around the corner of the street.

"Ah, gone."

Feeling lost, Nonoka withdrew her hand with a lack of interest and watched Ash disappear. When she turned her head back, Saaya reached out and pressed her head down with her gentle hand. The other two did the same, and the four of them formed a small group of four chatting like children.

"Hey, what's wrong, everyone?" Nonoka was a little confused. She looked left and right, and everyone had an expression on their face that she couldn't quite understand, as if there was some shameful secret.

What's going on? I always feel so nervous.

"Ahua, tell me, what do you think of Dr. Ash?" It was Saaya who spoke first. The whisper she gave close to Nonohua's ear made Nonohua feel itchy.

"Ah, Dr. Ash, he's a good man, what's wrong?" He blurted out without thinking. The other people looked at Nonoka, whose face had the word "innocence" almost written on it. The three of them looked at each other as if they were having an encrypted conversation. Their weird and grimaced expressions made Nonoka feel overwhelmed.

"Hana-senpai is still the same, totally boring." Seeing it all, Emi couldn't help but shake her head. "The last time was back in college, that guy from the research department came with roses and scattered them outside Hana-senpai's house. Hana-senpai thought they were dropped by someone else, and when he finally found the surveillance camera and returned them... I remember his face was green."

"Indeed, and it seems that Ash, who calls himself a doctor, has a different feeling towards flowers... What do you think? Could this be a... honey trap?"

"That shouldn't be the case, because it's completely unnecessary." Sa Ling nodded, confused as to what the two were up to. "Although it's a bit harsh, if he's really a doctor, how could he possibly be interested in Ah Hua's family conditions?"

Nonoka, who was unaware of the truth, felt as if she was stabbed in the chest.

"Could it be some other reason, like maybe you think the flowers are cute or something?"

"But he himself said that he seemed smaller than Xiaohua."

"Well, that's probably..."

It seemed that the encrypted call had produced results. The three people nodded to each other, and Yu looked at Nonoka.

"Flower~ Do you have any other feelings? For example, some strange feelings that you can't put into words? Is there anything like that?"

"Strange feeling?" Nonoka thought about what this sentence meant. For her, guessing this kind of riddle was really too difficult.

But since everyone said so, let her feel it.

Feeling, feeling...a little happy, and a little lost...and there is movement, no, this doesn’t seem to be the feeling in my heart, it’s real movement.

Nonoka closed her eyes, as if this would enhance her perception. Eh, perception? What did Yu and the others want to feel?

Their thoughts gradually became silent. Saaya and the others looked at Nonoka's increasingly peaceful expression, and exchanged glances with each other, saying "as expected". An auntie's smile bloomed unconsciously.

Nonoka was still feeling, she did sense some strange feeling, strange and very dark, she seemed to encounter this feeling often.

Wait, feeling, feeling, this feeling is————

"It's over - the Terminator!" Nonoka stood up abruptly. The other people were also startled by Nonoka's sudden action. The questions were about to come out of their mouths, and then there was a mixture of vibrations, glass breaking, furniture and porcelain falling to the ground, and a roar like a beast that stimulated everyone's ears.

"It's over!"

The wind pressure broke through the glass and hit everyone in the coffee shop. Saaya, who had the fastest reaction, acted first. She threw herself on Yu, who was unable to move, and used her body to block the oncoming glass fragments and strong wind for Yu, who was closest to the window. With her free hand, she grabbed Nonoka and pulled her behind her. Rumihui also immediately threw herself on Saaya to reduce Saaya's exposure. She grabbed the expensive leather jacket that she had just taken off and put aside to cover herself and others for additional protection. Yu and Nonoka tried their best to lower their bodies. The four of them hugged each other tightly to resist the impact. Until the initial storm gradually subsided, the four people let go of each other.

"What happened?" Hui Mu Yu gasped and looked out the window. The downward pressure on her body during that period of time had also compressed her internal organs. Now her face was flushed and she was covering her stomach which was painful due to the compression.

"It's the Terminator monster, and it's right near us. Huimei, you carry Yu on your back. Ah Hua, don't be dazed. Let's go quickly and try to leave before the Terminator monster comes!" Saori, who reacted quickly, directed the retreat of the four-member team in an orderly manner.

In the years since the ultimate monster appeared, there have been people with courage who have tried to resist, but the result is that human strength and weapons are completely unable to cause effective damage to this monster that comes from violent energy. The only one who can fight the monster is the only girl... Now, that guy may have to be added to the list.

Emi put her coat on Yu and carried her on her back, following behind Saaya, with Nonoka following at the end. They crouched as low as possible and quickly shuttled through the streets, passing by the feet of the rampaging Terminator.

"What should I do...what should I do, what should I do, what should I do!" The Future Crystal and the Heart of Light in her pockets emitted scorching heat to urge Nonoka to complete the mission of Pretty Cure and defeat the End Monster, but the companions in front of her were people that Nonoka could never let go of, and they would not stand by and watch Nonoka leave abruptly.

Biting her lips tightly, Nonoka made a decision. She first sent Yu and the others to the shelter to ensure their safety, and then she immediately ran out and transformed to fight.

Hopefully it won't take too long...

However, things went against their wishes. When the four people were hiding in the blind spots of the Terminator's vision, the alarm of the ruins of a nearby shop was accidentally triggered. The Terminator's attention was naturally drawn here, and it also saw the four people moving forward.

"Run! Run! Run without stopping!" Sa Ling shouted, and everyone immediately quickened their pace and started sprinting.

"Terminator!"

The Terminator's huge body squeezed and destroyed the buildings on both sides, while it took steps to chase the four people at an extremely fast speed.

Emiru, who was carrying Yu on her back, was naturally the slowest one. The overlapping figures of the two people were also the most conspicuous targets in the eyes of the Terminator. As Emiru's physical strength was depleted, the two gradually fell to the end of the team.

"Emi—No, leave me here quickly—!"

"Stop talking, don't say anything, Pretty Cure will come! We will be safe, don't talk nonsense!" As a friend of many years, Emi knew what Yu was going to say, but she would never do that. They had to run away together, they must run away together!

She would never sacrifice her friends and escape by herself, and she had never thought about it even once!

The emotions were intense and deep, but the fact that the Terminator was getting closer and closer and the two of them were slowing down was a reality that could not be ignored.

After all, the feelings in one's heart cannot so easily affect reality.

"Damn it!" Hui Mu Yu gritted his teeth, looking unwilling.

If she hadn't been in that car accident not long ago, if her legs could still move... My legs—my legs move! Why, they should have been healed, why are they just trembling and can't move—!

She tried to command her paralyzed lower body to move, but the sensory deadness still did not cause a ripple to her will.

She thought about her past self. When she was in junior high school, she was still a dazzling skating star. Everyone believed that her career prospects were limitless. But the truth was that after a failure, she completely lost the courage to jump. Until now...

When I think of the past, I can't help but shed tears.

I...how could I be so useless!

"Really, you're causing me so much trouble..."

The figure standing on the high tower overlooking the disaster below quietly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the V-command device hidden underneath.

"Really? I didn't intend to do anything so reckless from the beginning. This is all your fault."

Complaining, Ash brought the controller to his lips and issued a command word by word that set the world ablaze with change.

"Time Fire."

【Bonus】Case File 17 V

The shadow of the Terminator grew closer and closer until it completely enveloped the four people.

Nonoka knew that she couldn't go on like this, she had to transform, otherwise everyone would be in danger.

She put aside her identity, which could not be revealed, and forgot her fear of whether she would be accepted. If transforming could save her friends, any price would be acceptable.

She turned around, ready to take out the Heart of Light, but saw the Terminator's right foot about to step towards Yu and Emi. It was too late for her to transform and rush over.

It’s no use, unless a miracle happens, unless a miracle saves everything.

Miracle—miracle, miracle! Miracle ahhhhhh—!

As the little girl in Nonoka's heart, who covered her eyes with her hair, cried out, miracles... no, tiny sparks responded to her and set the world on fire.

No one knew what had happened. In just a thousandth of a second, the Terminator's body was sent flying by the immense force. The dust storm it stirred up blinded everyone. When the dust subsided, they saw...

"Tread, tap, tap—"

The first thing that caught the eyes of the staggering ladies was a figure wrapped in flames slowly approaching each other, using their smaller size to defeat the larger opponent and ultimately overwhelm them.

The crisp footsteps broke through the fear.

Crimson flames illuminated the shadows.

Silver and red steel bodies roared here, descending, ready to strike.

"Have you forgotten Time Fire?"

As if to remind them, Ash added another sentence while lightly brushing his fingers across the smooth helmet.

The red flames enveloped and burned everything, and the one who rushed out from the heat was naturally Ash, wearing a crimson combat suit.

"V-rex! Knock that bastard Terminator away for me."

Raise the V-command on your wrist and the voice control command will be given immediately.

"Roar!!!" The mechanical dinosaur V-rex, which had been re-enlarged at some point, responded to Ash's command with a roar, as if it had returned to the Jurassic era. The huge dinosaur stepped forward with its huge and heavy steel body and accelerated straight towards the Terminator.

Clang————!

The sound of steel colliding spread like a shock wave, and Saaya and Nonoka couldn't help but cover their ears.

The Terminator, who was just about to take the next step, was caught off guard by the heavy impact and lost his balance. His whole body flew backwards. With the explosion, one building after another became victims of the Terminator's huge body. Fortunately, after eight years, even though the Terminator could not be harmed, the escape skills he had learned had already allowed the people inside to retreat to the nearest underground shelter when the Terminator just arrived.

"Well, their evacuation skills are comparable to those of the people over at TPC."

"Terminator!" Grabbing the ruins with both hands and standing up, the Terminator roared back at V-rex angrily. At both ends of the "channel" created by this collision, the steel behemoth and the dark monster faced each other, rubbing their hands and ready to go.

"Terminator!"

The Terminator charged towards V-rex, its equally heavy body causing the earth to tremble, and the crushed ground left a trail of dust behind it. V-rex lowered its head, and its huge claws pressed the same dents on the road. With every step forward, countless dust fragments and objects such as cars flew up under the impact of its heavy body.

Both sides started charging at the same time, obviously wanting a head-on clash. The two giants were getting closer and closer. The Terminator waved his arms. The extended attack range allowed him to attack V-rex first and prevent the latter from charging. However, V-rex was not just a mechanical dinosaur. He was also a product of the future's cutting-edge technology. As a mobile arsenal, the missile compartment on his body opened at this time, and the missiles whistled through the air and flew towards the Terminator. Continuous "boom!" sounds rang out from the Terminator. The huge impact force directly knocked it to the ground, and then V-rex, who had already arrived in front of the Terminator, opened his bloody mouth to bite the Terminator's left leg.
