Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

After these words were spoken, everyone else couldn't help but burst into laughter, holding their stomachs. Only Ash was still enjoying himself and didn't seem to feel anything was wrong.

"You Heisei-born people, you really have no appreciation for the 'tough boy' of the Showa era." The man lifted Akane's bangs with his fingers and silently moved around behind her. He angrily attacked the poor girl with his arms, giving her a merciless naked choke. "Also, who are you calling an uncle?!"

"Hahahaha - I was wrong, I was wrong, uncle, please let me go!"

"You still dare... huh?" At this moment, Ash's face froze and he let go of Qian who was struggling in his arms. Catching the sound of flapping and stirring, Ash looked up and saw a flapping book flying towards them from the sky.

"Ah, that's it!" Miyuki, who had also seen the book, showed an excited expression. "It's the same as when I first met Tangtang. Back then, a book with Tangtang in it also hit me in the face. Hahaha..."

"Ah, that's Tangtang's brother 'Popo' Kulu——"

Before Tangtang finished her equally excited introduction, there was a gunshot and sparks flew, and the book with a hole in it in the air crashed down with a scream.

"Hey, this is someone from your fairytale kingdom, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Under everyone's silent gaze, Ash whistled the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song and casually tossed the enclosed gear gun into his inventory.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have thought the Kingdom of Tragedy had attacked the secret base again."

What's the saying? Once bitten by a snake, you'll have Parkinson's disease ten years later.

"Ouch... Who attacked me..." Pop, the little lion elf who had crawled out of the book, felt himself being picked up. When he opened his eyes and saw it was Ash, he immediately reacted. "Ah, you're the one who attacked Pretty Cure before! Let me go!"

"That incident is long over." Ash, with a nonchalant expression, quickly changed the subject and immediately came up with a story. "That was a close call just now. I didn't expect the people from the Tragedy Kingdom to even sneak up here. Fortunately, Ash reacted in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Is that so?" The little lion blinked, not quite understanding. But when he saw Ash's expression that said, "I'm a bad guy for lying to you," he still chose to believe him. "I didn't expect that Mr. Ash would save me this time. It seems that I misunderstood before. I'm so sorry—"

"Oh, oh, it's just a small matter~" Although his face couldn't handle the nerve-severing bullet, he could handle two 40mm rounds without any problem. He accepted the compliment very naturally and ignored the increasingly negative looks behind him.

"I came here to learn that all sixteen healing accessories have been collected, but the Queen remains in stone, showing signs of recovery." After learning the whole story from Tangtang, her brother Pop also looked puzzled. "Even though the Queen wasn't resurrected, I did get the legendary Royal Clock? This..."

"Ah, since Pop is here too." Seeing Pop's distressed look, kind-hearted Miyuki quickly suggested, "How about we all celebrate Tanabata together today!"

"The Qixi Festival is the annual reunion of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in heaven." Seeing the two elves' puzzled expressions, Lihua acted as a science teacher. "But here, we have a custom where if you write your wishes in a short book, they will come true."

"Ah, in that case, Tangtang would have to write—"

"It's written."

When everyone exclaimed "How fast!", Ash had already put down the brush.

"Don't be so surprised. After all, this isn't the first time I've written something like this."

In the past, he totally didn't believe in such superstitions, but this time it was a rare opportunity to celebrate with so many people, so he decided to start from the first step and write down some wishes that were easier to fulfill.

Thinking of this, Ash smiled and looked at the booklet in his hand.

[I hope to die gloriously and handsomely.]

Ash smiled but said nothing.

Chapter 129: About "Cheating"

After Ash, the others also wrote down their simple wishes in the booklet.

"I hope you can draw more beautiful paintings in the days to come, Yayoi."

"Our business continues to prosper and our money keeps rolling in, Qian!"

"It's wonderful to be able to travel together as a family and leave unforgettable memories."

"I hope we can continue on the right path, Lihua." The brush, as if possessed by a god, wrote the last very neat stroke of the word "Tao" on the cover of the short book. Lihua's elegant attitude, as always, seemed to be revealing from it.

"Come to think of it, Lihua's confidence has increased since that day." His eyes kept jumping between his friend and Ash, and he asked with great interest, "Did something good happen?"

"Yes, because I have indeed found the right path. No, to be more precise, the path I should follow." Lihua didn't deny what had happened. The scene of her and Ash hitting the bull's eye together that day was still vivid in her mind. "Of course, this is also thanks to Ash, so I won't forget it. Am I right?"

Ash briefly raised two fingers in response, which still gave the girl a satisfactory answer.

"I hope to see more wonderful picture book stories in the future." The unskilled brush left crooked handwriting on the paper. Miyuki, too embarrassed to be seen, glanced at Ash, a hint of happiness on her face. "It would be even better if I could become the heroine of a picture book—Xing."

"I wrote that I want to be with you all forever, Kulu!" Lian Tangtang also dipped her little hands in ink and wrote her name on the booklet, and casually handed it to Xing to help hang it on the bamboo leaves in the room.

After being decorated with ribbons and hung with pamphlets, the pine and bamboo trees in the room became the symbol of everyone's wishes on Tanabata Festival today.

"Everyone's wishes are very consistent and intuitive. Hmm... what is Mr. Ash's wish?"

"Who knows?" Without responding to the girl's curiosity, the man had already hung up his booklet. "Mystery is a man's secret weapon. How can it be easily known to others?"

"Can't I do it either?"

"No."

If I let you see it in advance, it wouldn't be so cool.

Reluctantly turning her eyes away from the closed black book, the girl, who was also curious about this matter, now felt quite regretful.

What will I write? Will it be a confession of my feelings to someone?

Of course, no one would force Ash if he didn't want to. Putting these things aside, Lihua, who had changed her attitude, came to Ash very seriously. It was not until he finally looked up at her that she seriously began to make a premeditated proposal.

"Since Ash has already been to Miyuki's house and doesn't find it offensive, why not stay at my place afterward?" As if oblivious to the others being instantly thrown off by her abrupt proposal, Lihua's eyes flashed with serious thought. "I'd also like to introduce you to Mom and Grandpa so they can get to know you in advance."

As someone who targets the Yamato Nadeshiko, Aoki Reika usually maintains a very reserved heart, but she also learned the principle of taking action when necessary from her recent experience with Ash.

She is such a Pretty Cure who has her way with things.

"Wait, wait, Lihua, what are you doing..." Shocked by her sudden boldness, Lian Zhi couldn't help but start to think about it. While the previous act was meant to draw out the enemy, the two of them had almost gotten married. So, this introduction to the parents now... it seemed like a brilliant design!

"Why, are you lonely without me around?"

"Yes." Unexpectedly, facing Ash's seemingly frivolous teasing, Reika, understanding his awkwardness, responded without blushing or beating her heart. "Pretty Cure is able to persevere and overcome numerous difficulties thanks to all of you friends. Is it wrong for me, Aoki Reika, to feel lonely right now?"

"And since you're already adults, if you agree to let Miyuki really live in the Hoshizora household, wouldn't it be you, Dana-san, who's lonely?"

"Stop, stop, stop!" He quickly made a pause gesture with his hands. Ash was afraid that Lihua would call him so seriously. Obviously, no one had brought up the fake marriage operation before. How come this girl is so smart?

"Okay, it just so happens that you are not the only ones who are curious, I am the same." Without just responding to Lihua's answer, he thought that since he was going to visit other houses anyway, he might as well go together. With such a mood, Ash called out the names of everyone one by one under the eager eyes of others.

"Let me see what Pretty Cure's family members look like later."

"Great!"

“Oh no…”

After the few people, each with different but generally inexplicably happy expressions, dispersed, only Miyuki was left, pouting and looking at Ash's profile facing the sunlight through the window with a look of resentment.

"He clearly said before that he loved my family and mom, but now he wants to cheat on me. Hahahaha..."

You're still cheating on your partner. How come you're so good at talking, kid?

"What does this have to do with cheating? I do like the warmth of the Xingkong family, so it's only natural for me to experience more of that warmth, right?"

"...He can talk about cheating as if it's a matter of course. Isn't he just a scumbag on TV? The worst!"

"Alright, alright!" Just as the argument between the two was about to turn violent, the hardworking Qian intervened and stopped the quarrel. "If you keep arguing like this, the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, who finally met in heaven, will cry. Let's go to the back mountain to watch the stars together!"

"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl..." Looking up, Ash's gaze seemed to penetrate the ceiling. He didn't see any constellations, but instead saw a familiar face. "Not really. I don't understand this feeling."

There are a lot of idiots nowadays, but I don’t know how the idiots in the past are doing... Ha, forget it, what are you thinking about? The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can see each other at least once a year. I can’t even compare to that.

"Ash?" When everyone else had walked through the door of books, only the somewhat temperamental Mi Xing was left. She happened to see Ash's momentary dejected expression behind him at the last moment.

"At that time, Ash said that if he wanted to, it would be no problem to find a place to live. Then why did he always lie on the tree in the park?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Because, I suddenly realized that it would be too boring if I was alone."

Perhaps it was because of his mood that Ash answered questions that he had never been able to answer before.

That's right.

At this moment, the hand hidden in the purse was taken out, and a pair of warmer hands gently covered it. When I looked down, I saw Miyuki's signature smile that could cheer people up.

"We made a promise. I will definitely make Ash smile and no longer feel lonely!"

“Smile, smile~!”

Chapter 130 The Children I Pushed

Generally speaking, the happier the lives of the good guys are, the more miserable the lives of the villains will be. Completely different from the cheerful and uninspired Unbelievable Library, the always dark and gloomy tragedy kingdom certainly has no need to commemorate the Tanabata Festival for humans.

The atmosphere of the entire tragedy kingdom has reached such a low point that even the bats responsible for the atmosphere can't flap their wings.

After all, what they pursue is the result of turning the beautiful world into a "tragic ending", not that they themselves become part of the tragic ending. They have already lost to Pretty Cure several times, and after losing, they lost to Kamen Rider. If this goes on, they have reached the point where there is nothing left to lose.

Standing in front of the huge darkness sealed at the core of this world, Joker silently looked at the devil's plan above.

As long as the hour hand, which symbolizes the progress of tragic energy collection, reaches the "12" position, it will be the day when the tragic emperor Piero will be resurrected. Of course, it will also be the last day of Pretty Cure and the Fairy Tale Kingdom.

The original plan should have been like this, but I don’t know which wicked guy stole a wave of tragic energy, causing the pointer to stop at the number "11", unable to go up or down.

Of course, there is also good news. For example, after the opponents collected 16 accessories, there was no news of the queen's resurrection. The players who had been worried about the opponent's wild cards for a while finally let go and breathed a sigh of relief. At least all the good things were taken by the opponent.

Originally, the plan was to make the Pretty Cures despair by attacking that elf, and then let this high-quality tragic energy awaken the great Master Piero, but now there is a Kamen Rider stuck here, and he can't do that.

"Damn Kamen Rider!"

Rather, as long as this Kamen Rider is there, he can't do anything. Judging from the previous experiences, even if they want to play a conspiracy, they will be embarrassed to lose and join the righteous opponent... Hmm?

Suddenly thinking of something, the joker showed an evil smile again, and his gaze drifted to the three cadres who were sleeping in the other side of the pond.

Yes, his purpose from the beginning was not to fight against Pretty Cure or Kamen Rider. Considering that they have been defeated by such combinations many times, it is really stupid to insist on such an approach.

If I can just replenish the last bit of energy right before my eyes...why should I play house with you guys if I can let my invincible Emperor Piero run you over?

Unless it was the Queen who represented the sacredness, Cricket Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure would be nothing but clowns trying to stop a chariot with their bare hands in front of Lord Piero!

"In that case, how about separating Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure?"

Since the conspiracy doesn't work, what about the open conspiracy?

"If only one side falls... then the other side, if even one of these six people's hearts shows the slightest flaw."

"One side will reveal a flaw, right? Hehehe~!"

A smug laugh echoed in the world of the Kingdom of Tragedy.

“There are so many people!”

Arriving at the lawn on the back mountain of Qiqiu City, there were many people who had the same idea as the girls. They gathered together and happily chatted about stories about the stars. In this world without industrial pollution, this lawn on the back mountain without any cover could be said to be the best viewing spot.

The Milky Way that covers the entire starry sky makes the girls' eyes sparkle.

"Have you heard? The Astronomical Bureau said there will be a shooting star today. Isn't it romantic to see shooting stars on Qixi Festival?"

"Is that so? Then I'm going to make a wish on a star today!"

"It's so beautiful, it looks like stars are falling from the sky!"

"The stars are falling..."

Hearing this, the Pretty Cures a month ago would probably have had the same idea, but now they can only have a very unfavorable "smile" towards the shooting stars.

Thanks to the "Operation of the Advent of Primitive Life Forms" half a month ago, if it weren't for the great power of King Gokai and Pretty Cure that blew up the star, the result of knowing the star fell would have been a direct reshuffle of the entire Earth's ecology. It was so terrifying that they were still scared when they heard the news of the "meteor".

"That's really outrageous... How can anyone look directly at the stars after this?"

"Yeah, wishing on a star is supposed to be so romantic... but it's a little scary just thinking about it."

"No, I don't think it's a big deal." Compared to the others' concerns about the stars, Qian, who had witnessed it firsthand, remained relaxed. "I saw it. The light streaking across the vast universe is beautiful, and the stars are still beautiful stars."

"Besides, if another star falls to Earth, we'll push it back!"

"You can sneak in and drive a robot. What a great thing to say..." Yayoi, who was still upset about not being able to actually get into the cockpit of the coveted super robot, cast a resentful look at Akane's back.

"Ms. Ikuyo."

On the other side, when they saw Hoshizora Ikuyo who also came here to celebrate the festival with everyone, it was Ash who took the initiative to come over and tell her about his previous decision. When she heard the news that Ash was about to leave, she looked a little sad.

"Hey, Ash, are you leaving now? Are you dissatisfied with my cooking?" She was like a mother who heard that her son was going to run away from home and tried to keep him with a gentle and longing tone... Of course, she didn't show it so obviously, but Ash felt that this was what she meant.

"No, that's not it. Anyway, I've been taken care of these days. I'm very happy to eat the food at Xingkong's house."

He expressed his gratitude to Miss Ikuyo, who was an ordinary person but cared about him very much. The last sentence was indeed a sincere word from Ash.
