Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

“We are the ones who are troubled.”

Shaking his paralyzed arms, Miyuki and Lihua attacked from both sides, pressing forward.

Chapter 22: You can’t understand it just by telling me!

The collision between light and darkness will produce a new and great force. This is a unique principle that can be found in different worlds with similar results.

Facing the two shadows rushing towards him, while everyone's attention was drawn to him, the man took out a thick blank driving book from his back and dropped it right in the center of the square.

As if by some kind of instinct, the Driving Book born from the fantasy world, when it encountered the fantasy-filled energy emanating from the Pretty Cure, immediately, like a hungry child, greedily devoured the dark and light energies that erupted in the fierce battle between heaven and earth.

Okay... the stage has been set for the great power that can change the world. The problem is the two girls in front of me.

What kind of shining colors can you show on the stage?

"clang--"

When the extremely sharp blade of the holy sword collided with the girls' fists wrapped in rainbow light, a sound of metal clashing was heard.

Miyuki and Lihua took turns to fight him with all their might, but they didn't get any benefit from him at all!

"You said you wanted to rule the world, but you're not on the same side as the Kingdom of Tragedy!" Lihua, suppressing her fear of sharp objects and standing by her companions, quickly spoke to Ash. "So what do you want to do to this world? What do you want to do to us?"

"Hmph, if I really wanted to do something to you, you would have done it in front of me long ago - hmph!" Ash snorted disdainfully, and the words he spat out made the participants and even the spectators on the side feel a chill running through their bodies.

Ash swung the sword in his hand to push away all the fists and feet that could not get close to him. When his left hand brushed across the sword covered with inscriptions as if examining it carefully, the next thrust was even faster than he could imagine, passing through the two people who screamed and had scars on their battle suits.

"Happy, didn't you say you like reading fairy tales? Have you read "The Daughter of the Sea"? "

"?" Miyuki, who had originally thought that she was going to be chased and had prepared for defense, now had a question mark on her head, and she was in disbelief and wondered if she had heard it wrong.

"Oh, of course I've seen it!" Miyuki nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with pure memories. "The mermaid princess made a deal with a witch to be with her beloved prince, willingly giving up her body for a pair of legs, and ultimately sacrificed herself to become a bubble—wuwuwuwu, no matter how many times I think about it, I'm so sad!"

Although her arms were still crossed in front of her chest to avoid being suddenly attacked, her face was already filled with tears of emotion as she recalled the picture book.

"I say, you are really quite sentimental..." After teasing the other party with a bit of helplessness, Ash, who transformed into a bloodless and tearless dragon again in the next second, suddenly changed the subject.

"If that's the case, wouldn't you have died if you didn't know the prince?"

"Eh?" Ash's sudden words stunned Miyuki, who was still in grief, and then she was kicked out without mercy.

"I won't die if I don't come out. Why don't I understand?"

The screaming girl was kicked and blown away by the merciless blow, and the saw-like scales on her calves were directly nailed into the girl's chest. Miyuki closed her eyes in pain and smashed a large hole filled with smoke and dust on the concrete floor on the other side under their wide-mouthed gazes. The pain of the nail in her chest made her spit out all the air in her lungs and the saliva in her mouth.

"How despicable, so despicable Kuru!"

"That's right, just watch carefully with your eyes that are clearer than the sea!" Ash added another slash without hesitation, forcing back the shocked Lihua.

Take a good look at how filthy and unbearable the so-called real fighting and killing are!

“Miyuki—!” The stunned girls, including Tangtang who was held in his arms, looked at the girl in disbelief as she fell to the ground, creating a cloud of dust. Then they shouted in anger, “Why—you, what were you talking about before?”

"I just answered your questions with facts, that's all."

"You—!" Akane clenched her fists in anger. Even without her transformation ability, the Kanto girl wanted to punch his silver mask in the face. "If you're going to mock us, then so be it. We're not afraid of you, someone who decides everything with sheer force!"

"But you keep talking to us here, talking to yourself. If you don't make it clear, who can understand what you want to say?"

"You won't understand just by telling me!" Without even glancing at the spectator seats, Ash casually swept his hand, and a crescent-shaped air blade hit the girl's feet. The shock wave directly knocked down the two people holding the elves. She screamed in panic and could only subconsciously cover her skirt.

"The mermaid princess in the sea only needs to stay in the sea for the rest of her life!"

"Don't make decisions for us without your permission!"

A fist with an ice-crystal-like sea-blue light wrapped around Lihua's fist. She was trembling all over but not afraid. She raised her hand without hesitation and struck at the head with the sword blade.

"Please help me, Hoshizora-kun—!"

The golden sword blade was scratching strange marks, and Ash wielded it like an arm to block the opponent's full-strength punch under the opponent's angry eyes.

"Apologize!"

Facing the blue and white boots that were attacking him from the other side at the same time, Ash's left foot was not idle either. He kept performing minimal steps and movements to avoid the continuous kicks that were coming at him like a shadow with great momentum.

"Can you do that?"

Faced with Ash's mocking response, the increasingly angry Lihua calmed down completely like ice.

"I'll show you!"

Seeing the most naive and romantic friend she knew being treated like this made Lihua's suppressed anger begin to be exerted as actual strength. Her punches were faster than the last, and each kick was so delicate that it almost caught the possibility of Ash making a mistake.

"Snapped!"

The dark sword was stabbed away by Lihua, leaving a creepy bloody mark on her shoulder. Lihua's right hand, gathering energy and trembling, was used to deliver a fatal punch, which also brushed past the half-melted breastplate and passed through the man's armpit.

The distance between them was rapidly shortened by the inertia of speed. The dark purple dragon knight and the half-ice crystal Snow White "huggled" each other, their foreheads touching each other at zero distance. The girl's eyes, as noble and unyielding as the quiet snow, and her breath under the mask flashed with a dim red light, reflecting different colors.

"Cure Beauty, as the name suggests, you are truly a warrior worthy of the name of beauty!"

The two men loosened their hands almost at the same time and turned lightly to face each other. At this moment, the extremely hot dark sword swept across the light snow that had fallen on the ground at some point, and raised the sword with one hand and pointed it at the girl.

"Come dance, too."

Chapter 23: Proof of Pretty Cure

"It seems that you are not just good in words. I really underestimated you." The tongue under the mask couldn't help but lick his dry lips.

Ash was very happy.

It was obvious that not long ago, the five of them were easily defeated by him like cutting melons and vegetables without even a symbolic fight back. Now that they are serious, they can actually fight him back and forth for a while. It can be said that one should look at a man with new eyes after three days of absence.

Or is this the true strength you can show? If so, I must work harder!

I'm so happy that I can finally play against the real you!

After getting into the state, Ash finally no longer had complicated thoughts and troubles, but instead focused more on this battle!

After repositioning the sword, the edge of the extremely sharp blade, the sword itself as cold as light, Ash, holding the long sword with both hands, smiled for the first time since he came to this world.

"Let's Dance!"

Yes, this kind of strength and courage is the heroes I have seen! Every action of theirs fascinates and inspires my heart!

If this world needs to write stories about Pretty Cure, then you should be able to do so.

"You're truly a real one!" Facing Lihua's dazzling flurry of blows, Ash simply retreated slowly, blocking all of her attacks with minimal dodging and a backhanded sword grip. Her upbringing had prevented her from cursing, but her inexperience left her completely unable to find a rebuttal.

"Unreasonable guy!"

Miyuki said that he hid his true feelings behind his evil smile...but even if that's true, I find it hard to believe. How can someone like that change for the better?

"Now, simple words are meaningless." Under Lihua's vigilant gaze, Ash raised his sword again, his sharpness even greater than before. "Even if you are gifted, not everything can be solved with words."

"Your actions and ideas are far too clever. You don't seem to be of the same kind as your companions."

Just as Ash said, as a girl with a good family education and who is at the top of the class in various skills in school and life, Aoki Reika's seriousness in tactics is indeed far superior to her companions' various funny operations. But because of this, she is too serious and lacks a bit of spirit when facing a strong enemy like Ash.

"However, combat and war aren't easier the smarter you are! Perhaps you should try fighting for a simpler purpose like your companions, and that will bring you closer to the righteous path you desire."

Is this person saying that I'm not suitable to be a Pretty Cure?!

“Gupu——”

Lihua's movements became flawed due to shock, and she was hit on the stomach by Ash's backhanded sword handle. She fell to the ground and rolled twice, with a painful expression on her face, retching.

With his backhand, he thrust the blade forward like a rapier. Feeling much happier both physically and mentally, Ash lifted Lihua's chin with the tip of the sword, letting her disgusting saliva flow down her lips onto the sword. He also took pleasure in catching a glimpse of her unwilling expression.

"To be honest, your performance wasn't too bad. At least I like you, Beauty!"

“Disgusting!”

"You guys are leaving early only because I barged in. Calculating the time, it should be over by now, so it's time for me to finish... Hmm?"

Ash, realizing something, let go of Li Biehua. When he looked in that direction, even Ash's eyes widened immediately.

Cure Happy, who was originally labeled as "unable to fight" by him, now had her battle suit all over her body damaged. With her body covered with wounds, she walked towards him step by step, holding the control book that was almost completed after absorbing energy in her right hand.

"you...!"

"My...my name is Hoshizora Miyuki, a transfer student from Class 2 of Nanaseigaoka Academy." Miyuki stretched out her open hands towards Ash in the distance, a shy look on her face as she smiled and asked, "You...what's your name?"

“…”

The sound of wind blowing through the green leaves on the roadside could be clearly heard at this time, because as soon as these words were spoken, everyone, whether they were rolling on the ground, watching the battle, or the enemies in front of them, fell into silence to varying degrees.

"You..." After a while, Ash, who had witnessed that even the Dark Sword prophecy did not exist, slowly changed his words. "Are you an idiot?"

"Eh...?"

"Why are you still answering with 'eh'?" Ash nearly lost his composure and yelled. "You're suddenly asking this kind of question in the middle of a fight? The first two pinks were so smart, they could immediately follow my thoughts. Why are you such an idiot?"

"The first two pink ones?" Miyuki, whose two ahoge hairs twitched like antennae, keenly grasped the key words. "Am I not the only pink one?"

"Aiya——!" Akane, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't help but cover her face. "Miyuki, you idiot, what are you saying now?"

"Do I even need to answer you?" Ash, suddenly interrupted, just wanted to get this over with. "It's over, give me back that book!"

"No, you want this book to do something bad, right? I won't give it to you. Besides... how can you use a book that tells people's stories to do something bad?"

He's obviously a fool, but he's quite perceptive in this regard.

"Since you're unwilling to tell me, I'll just call you Mr. Wang Jian..." Miyuki, who had been lying in the pit pondering Ash's question for a long time, clutched the driving book in her arms and offered her own answer. "What you said about the story, where the mermaid princess hadn't come into contact with the prince, would have been fine... maybe that's true."

Because of stories like this, no matter how many times I read them, I will cry with sadness.

"The princess was deceived by a witch and ultimately gave up everything for the one she loved. Perhaps she did lose too much, but doesn't it also show the kind and pure princess's pursuit of true love and her final strength of heart?!"

"Even if you say so, I still think she's just a stupid woman." Ash shook his head. "The reality is that there's no such thing in the world... Ugh." Ash, insisting on his opinion, was about to continue, but seemed to think of something and inexplicably closed his mouth.

"'Stupid' is too much! But if you feel something, doesn't that just prove that Mr. Wang Jian has been influenced by fairy tales, too!" Patting the physical copy of the book on her chest, Miyuki continued affectionately. "It can teach us, make us laugh and be moved, and then think. It can inspire us! And finally, it can bring a genuine smile to our faces. Isn't that the greatest benefit that stories in books can bring to us?"

That’s why I have always liked fairy tales no matter what the ending is. I like fairy tales that warm people’s hearts the most!

"Cure happy... Hoshizora Miyuki, I take back what I said about you being an idiot." Ash, feeling a change of heart, raised his finger and tapped the metal mask. "At least when it comes to fairy tales, you're not."

But do these questions and answers have anything to do with the current situation? !

"You're annoying, aren't you? A weak girl."

In front of Ash, Miyuki stuffed the driving book into the waist pouch containing the transformation device, with sweat on her face, but she still clenched her fists firmly.

"We are not mermaid princesses, but the Pretty Cure certified by Tangtang!"

"Let me prove it to you!"

Chapter 24: I don’t want to lose, so I don’t give up

Don't want to lose...

Can't lose to that overdoing guy!

We can't lose to that guy who uses the name of Kamen Rider but does all these evil things!

With this thought in mind, even though Yayoi was so frightened that she hid in her room, cried secretly for several days and dared not interact with other people, she walked towards the agreed location of the final battle with a runny nose on that day.

"Akane, Nao, Tangtang....what's wrong with you?!"

As soon as Yayoi arrived at the location, she found her friends in a disheveled state. However, there was no negative expression on their faces. Instead, they stared intently at the direction of the battlefield.

"Yayoi—you're here too!" Tangtang was the first to greet Yayoi. "We're watching Miyuki and the others' struggles!"

"You absolutely cannot look away for even a second. Miyuki and Reika are both fighting with incredible strength!" Even as tears streamed down his eyes, his retinas stung by the blazing flames, he stared intently at the smoke-filled battlefield. "This is us who can't fight. We can't let them down!"

Don’t want to lose!

Can't lose to that overdoing guy!
