Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

“I can’t sleep…”

Her messy pink hair covered her face, but Lei ignored it and just raised her hand in a trance and pressed it on her chest.

"Ash....are you here?"

It feels like something bad is happening...

Why do I feel a sense of loss?

Today's date with Ash and the party with everyone were both very happy times, so why do I feel so... sad when I think about them now?

"Precures—hurry up—"

"The tree of heart?"

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in her ears, instantly waking Lei up from her drowsy state. She wanted to continue asking but received no response.

Can't wait any longer.

Lei put her glasses back on and regained her vision. She picked up Siflei, who had not yet reacted, and was about to do something a good child would never do in the past - sneak out of the house in the middle of the night to meet a boy.

There's obviously no reason...but, Ash, what's wrong with you?

"Precure Open My Heart!"

Lei is not a detective, nor does she understand the hunter's tracking skills. She is just a student who likes to grow flowers. All she can do is use the convenience after transformation to follow her feelings and find the place where Ash may appear.

At this time on the street, adults were preparing Christmas decorations for tomorrow's holiday on Christmas Eve. Colorful lights and a happy atmosphere were covering the entire city, but Lei was not as happy about this atmosphere as in previous years.

Her heart was now completely occupied by a man, and she had no extra energy to appreciate the beauty of the festival.

Today's date on the street, no...

At the hospital in the Hope Flower Market, although there was a cherry blossom in the vase next to my sleeping mother, there was still no...

Even the ruins of the Nasta Café had been razed by the municipal government, leaving nothing behind.

Finally, they found their way to the park. On the bench by the children's beach, one could still see the figure of a person sitting on the rock. This was where he said his last goodbye to them.

"There's nothing here....who!"

After hearing the footsteps coming from a certain direction, Lei reacted immediately and turned around, took a stance, and shouted angrily in a certain direction. At this time, Lei was both afraid and expectant, expecting Ash to respond to her call, and at the same time afraid that Ash would come out from where he came out because of what happened.

"bud?"

"Erika?!"

A blue figure as soft as the waves emerged from the shadows. I could guess why Erika was here, and it seemed I wasn't the only one who felt the same way.

At night, Erika lost her usual energetic and cheerful demeanor, and her chubby cheeks showed obvious worry.

"Is Erika looking for it too?"

"I don't know why I couldn't sleep last night...and I'm not the only one."

"Ituki? Sister Lily!"

At this time, everyone from Heart Catch Precure gathered here for some inexplicable reason.

"Everyone is very worried." Wu Mu's golden twin ponytails on both sides of her body dimmed and drooped down because of her owner's mood.

"Lei, you're on a date with Ash today, right?" Lily gave Lei an expectant, inquiring look. "Did he say anything strange, or show anything?"

"Performance?" Lei recalled the entire date and shook her head. Maybe Ash's acting was good enough, but she really didn't see anything. "If you want to say something strange, he said goodbye to me?"

Everyone frowned. This just proved nothing, right?

"Do you think we're just worrying too much?" Erika patted her chubby face with a loud voice, hiding her fear deep in her heart and putting on her signature cheerful demeanor. "Maybe he just disappeared again? Maybe he's secretly planning something, just waiting for us to get worried and jump out and scare us?"

"After all, it's him. It's not like he hasn't done this before, not once or twice."

"Indeed..." Wu Mu also laughed, but the laughter was dry. "If it's him, it's not surprising that he would do this... After all, it's him, so it makes sense."

Only Lily seemed to be still worried. She kept biting her lips and hated herself for not being able to realize her name of "Moonlight Angel" so that she could ask the bright moon hanging in the sky for his location.

"After waking up, the Dark Pretty Cure spoke to my father for a few words. Although she didn't attack me again, she left immediately. I was worried..."

"This should be okay, right? After all, she and Ash are pretty close."

Lily hesitated for a moment, then remembered how she had been pestering Ash, and finally nodded with difficulty.

"Everyone--" Lei suddenly interrupted everyone and drew everyone's attention to her.

With both hands slowly raised to the chest as if in prayer, one can sense the uneasiness still existing in the beating heart beneath the heart accessory.

"Let's look for it again."

Although their expressions varied, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Why does Ash have to make us worry..."

"It can only be this way."

"Um...."

Everyone searched the entire Hope Flower Market until the sun rose again.

They also didn't find out where Ash had gone.

This became a small...regret for them.

Chapter 204 Christmas

“Ah…”

Lei had a terrible expression on her face and opened her mouth to let out a long yawn.

Not only did he fail to find Ash, but he was also lectured by his mother because his mother found out that he didn't sleep well.

What's more, people of her age, except for the last time when she waited for Lily's return and ended up suffering from insomnia all night, have no experience of staying up late to cultivate immortality. Even if she took a nap, she still felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

"Lei, please help me check if you have any dark circles under your eyes? Staying up late is a woman's biggest enemy!"

"It's not that exaggerated~" Lei, who had regained some energy while rubbing her friend's face, looked up at the colorfully decorated Christmas tree above her head, and saw elementary school students younger than her playing and fighting under the tree. It was obviously the joyful atmosphere of Christmas, but she still couldn't feel happy at all.

It was almost dusk, and Ash still hadn't shown up today. Compared to previous Christmases, Lei felt as if there was always someone missing by her side, and she couldn't be happy no matter what.

"Ugh....."

"Lei - what's the point of you sighing like an old man?" Seeing her friend looking like a stranded dead fish, Erika became furious and angry.

Although it's understandable, but all because of what Ash said—enough is enough! It's not like we'll be in trouble if he doesn't come anyway!

"If he doesn't come, forget it. We don't need him! Let's go find Lily and the others!"

"Wait—Erika, stop pulling me!"

Eddie, who had just been released, saw Erika pulling Lei's eyes, which were rolled up like mosquito coils, and shouting "Let's go!" He touched the back of his head, feeling a little confused.

"He's not with them? That's strange..."

He raised his hand to the key box attached to his waist, closed his eyes and seemed to have realized something. With a twitching mouth, he raised his head and cast his gaze towards the sky filled with sunset glow.

"Hey...what's going on?"

It seems that my return will be delayed again.

At this time, Lily and Goki were wearing Santa hats and helping to sell Christmas cakes in Lily's mother's store. As for "Shabak", Lily's father, whose family status plummeted after his return, he was now sent to the backstage. The hands that had originally created countless dark equipment for the Desert Apostle were now kneading eggs and flour with great difficulty.

"Thank you for your patronage. I hope you will come again!" Wu Mu, who was helping out with his good friend, showed off the waiter skills he had learned from Ash when he was working at Nasta. As a martial artist, Wu Mu's perfect smile, which was full of heroism, made the female passers-by nearby cover their hearts.

“Give me one, please!”

"I want one too. Give it to me. Give me five boxes!"

"Can you give me an encouraging smile?"

"Haha, ladies, please don't worry, there will be something." Seeing the people coming and going in front of him, Wu Mu couldn't help but sigh. "Nastari has never had such a grand occasion. Obviously, it tastes quite good."

"Ah." Lily, standing up suddenly, held her glasses, a strange light shining through them. "Wuki, are you kidding? We at Heart Catch Precure are a scientific team."

"Hahaha, of course I'm kidding~" Wu Mu, who had been feeling depressed since yesterday, smiled a little embarrassedly.

Unfortunately, even after six months, including the shop assistant whom Ash loved very much, his classmates including Rei and the poor office workers passing by, the curious reporter, and even the strange taste challengers who just wanted to have a bite, no one has been able to enjoy his "delicious" craftsmanship except Eddie, whose taste is really different from that of ordinary people.

It's not that I haven't thought about pretending to like his coffee to make the manager happy, but I can fake it with words. Even Lily, who is good at hiding her emotions, can't fake the expression after drinking it.

Ash is probably the only one who can make something much more delicious but deliberately sticks to this flavor.

"But it has really changed." Putting another box of Christmas cake in the hands of the customer, Goki couldn't help but sigh while chatting with Lily.

"Ever since we unlocked the super silhouette, the Desert Apostles have been silent..." Wu Mu couldn't help but smiled and shook her head. Perhaps she missed the time when Ash was their supporter, and the Pretty Cure fought wits and courage with the three cadres of the Desert Apostles.

"I really don't know what will happen next... I hope peace can continue like this."

"May peace always last..." Lily saw further than Goki. She thought of what Ash had told her that night like his last words.

"But, the Desert King, Duen, will eventually come to Earth. Even Lei's grandmother said he's a terrifying enemy. When that happens..."

Can the world they have maintained, which comes from a hard-earned peace, still be peaceful?

A pair of warm hands gently covered Lily's palms, which were resting on the table and had nowhere to rest.

"When the time comes, let's all work together!" Itsuki beamed a sun-like smile at Lily, captivating passersby and illuminating Moon's gloomy heart. "Lei, Erika, you, me! And Poppy and the others! Whether it was the enemies of the Desert Apostles or the evil deeds of Timmons, didn't we always fight side by side, trusting each other and defeating the enemy's schemes?"

"When we meet Doon, we'll let him see the bond between us Pretty Cure sisters!"

"Yeah." Even Lily couldn't help but smile after receiving such affirmation from her friend.

As long as we all work together towards a miracle, how can we lose?

"Oh, I almost forgot! The next guest——"

When he turned around to hand over the Christmas cake in his hand, Wu Mu's welcome words were stuck in his throat, and the business smile was also stuck on his face, just because this customer was really special.

A dark beautiful girl wearing a Lily-style school uniform stood in front of the convenience store. Under her bob hairstyle were a pair of eyes that were wide open. She just stared at the cake that Wu Mu was hanging in the air, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.

"What, aren't you welcome?"

"No...no."

Wu Mu's originally cheerful and cheerful tone suddenly became much lower.

Chapter 205: The Yueying Family Reunited

There are naturally reasons why Goki behaves so awkwardly. The Dark Pretty Cure is not just a rivalry with Yuri. There is also an unpleasant memory between them regarding the story of Goki's first transformation, in which they competed for "someone" out of jealousy.

As if they had sensed the tense atmosphere that was beginning to spread, the guests around them shivered with an inexplicable sense of crisis, and then left with bitter faces, leaving them with ample space for "communication".

Before the Dark Pretty Girl could say anything else, Yueying Lily moved in front of Wu Mu with a serious face, standing between her and the Dark Pretty Girl.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come back?" As she spoke, the dark pretty girl's gaze drifted to the Christmas cake on the side. She seemed to be thinking about something and then turned her attention back to the enemy in front of her, who was no longer her enemy.

"My legs are my own. I'm free to go wherever I want, right?"

"Or do you think that just because you defeated me once, you can order me around at will? Strictly speaking, that time we were evenly matched and both perished."

I still don't agree with the key to defeat.

"If you still want to come." Yueying Lily, despite the provocation, remained calm. She raised her forehead, her glasses reflecting the rosy glow obscuring her gaze. "I'm always available."

"Hey, if the life that Ash saved with great difficulty were to be wasted like this, he would definitely be very sad, right?"

"Don't mention him, this has nothing to do with him!"

And about the Kolon incident! Don't think that just because I'm not talking about it, it means I've completely forgotten and forgiven you!

"Really? That means he thinks more highly of me."

"If you think that's the case, then you're a fool who can't see the situation."

On the days when the snow had not yet fallen, the dark beautiful girl was provoking wantonly, and the tense back of Yukie Lily's hands became more and more obvious. Only Wu Mu on the side was almost unable to hold it back at all.

"Well, okay, okay!" Seeing the increasingly strong smell of gunpowder and the risk of ignition at any time, before it completely escalated, Wu Mu, with a smile on his face, hurriedly inserted himself between the two of them, waving his hands in an attempt to calm their anger.
