Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

The first time, he didn't know her identity. According to the prophecy of the Dark Sword Yue'an, if he contacted her, there would be a possibility of meeting the Pretty Cure. He didn't expect that it would turn out like this in the end. Although generally speaking, Ash was quite happy during this period.

Keeping a calm mind, Ash looked at the five carefree people running and laughing under the boundless night sky while holding the two elves disguised as dolls. He felt the joy of a player who had gained a new achievement.

After all, although they are not as tall as a jeep, in a sense they are also a team that they have built up hand in hand.

From the beginning, he was so unruly that he could hardly fight seriously, but now everyone has shown him power after bursting out with their shining true heart. Now, with his hands on his hips, Ash feels like showing off to others.

'Look, these are the kids I pushed!' That's probably what it felt like.

So, who should I show off to?

Chapter 131 The Final Attack of the Enemy

Just as he was discarding the emptiness of the past and gradually turning to satisfying Ash's self-indulgence, two croissants quietly slipped behind Ash again.

"That's too much! You've taken away someone else's mother's warmth and you're leaving right now." Miyuki, who had been eavesdropping on the two of them and had been quite critical of the matter, was now muttering behind their backs. "Hmph, an adult like Ash doesn't understand the value of a mother anyway~!"

"It's strange. A fool actually dares to lecture me. Does that mean you know a lot?" With Ikuyo's smiling eyes behind him, Ash once again used the clamping technique to "grab" Miyuki, who was screaming like a baby.

"Since you know so much, how about you make me something to eat as a souvenir before I leave?"

At first it was omelet rice, and then it was coffee that Lei made for him after she learned it. With the mentality of collecting illustrated books, Ash was really curious about what kind of food this pink girl could make.

"I can't." Her eyes turned empty for a moment, and Miyuki avoided meeting Ash's gaze.

"Huh?" Miyuki's answer was so confident that Ash couldn't believe it. After all, that was Ash's usual response. "I remember your school has home economics classes, and as a woman, you should definitely cook a dish or two, right?"

"I've never cooked before, because my mom's is delicious." She turned her head away in displeasure, her words seeming to have touched a sore spot. "Besides, my grades in home economics weren't great to begin with. If you want to eat, just cook it yourself!"

"Mr. Ash, you can't say that. If such discriminatory remarks were made in court, Mr. Ash would definitely lose the case." Lihua and the others had heard the quarrel between the two and were about to step forward to lecture Ash about his problematic remarks when they saw him conjure up a barbecue stall from nowhere like magic.

Not to mention that you can always pull out a sword from behind your butt, but does a barbecue stall also fall into the category of four-dimensional pockets? Someone couldn't help but want to complain, but now his attention was completely drawn to other things.

"!"

When she took a bite of the Taiyaki in her hand that was emitting such an alluring aroma, Hoshizora Miyuki widened her not-so-bright eyes.

“So… so delicious!”

"Hmph, that's the result, of course." Ash, who was flipping the shovel, was very satisfied with Miyuki's reaction, which made the sound of others swallowing their saliva clearly audible.

Although it is not a rare food, Miyuki dares to guarantee that this is the most delicious Taiyaki he has ever eaten!

Now that her sense of taste has recovered and she's no longer acting maliciously, Miyuki would eat so much that she almost swallowed her tongue. To Ash, this was a sign that his cooking skills hadn't deteriorated.

"Ultimate form, special turbo~!"

Singing a funny joke, Ash quickened his pace and put a few Taiyaki into the bowls of other girls who were drooling. At the same time, when passers-by came up to ask, he replied, "They are sold out." While enjoying the disappointed expressions of others, he also gave Miyuki a look that said, "Of course I can do it."

"Gu..."

After swallowing the last bite, Miyuki couldn't help but lick his lips, though he felt a little unwilling. He had to admit that he won this time. It was really embarrassing that he had no idea how to cook such a thing...

However, Ash did say he wanted to eat my cooking. In that case, should I try my best?

Just as she was thinking this, darkness suddenly came in from the horizon like a tide, covering all the stars in the sky. The feeling was more familiar than the exams, and it made the girls' hairs stand on end.

She hurriedly swallowed the remaining half of the Taiyaki in her mouth and almost got blisters on her tongue. Akane, with a serious face, held the smiling makeup box and licked her burning tongue with Yayoi and Nao beside her, grinning.

"Alright, it's your turn, Pretty Cure."

Ash did not appear this time. After all, in front of the grown-up Pretty Cure, neither the red-nosed clown monster nor the strengthened blue-nosed clown monster was their match.

The girls seemed to want to show their growth in front of Ash. After the clown monster landed, he didn't even have time to say his lines before he was mercilessly beaten by them.

However, now, Ash's eyes were not on them, but he was looking for something.

Where did the hidden ones go?

"Come on, happy!" Tangtang, who was cheering for the Pretty Cure, was completely unaware of the dark shadow gradually approaching her from behind. When she felt something was wrong, she looked back and her vision was filled with the white mask. It was too late to scream.

"Candy!"

No one expected that someone would be so despicable as to attack an unarmed elf. When Miyuki and the others exclaimed in surprise, a figure that was closer to it quickly slapped it with a "Kuru!" and flew it into the girls' arms. In the blink of an eye, a figure with only a gust of wind fell behind it. The figure slowly stood up and looked like Ash, holding a sword to block the joker that also appeared.

"I guessed it. It's almost time for you to take action."

The dark sword Yue'an and the silver rapier intertwined again in this lightless darkness.

"Oh—did you really guess that?"

In the gap between the two crossed swords colliding and creating sparks in front of him, Ash gave him a malicious wink.

"you guess?"

"Okay!" The joker laughed in anger, stomped his feet with his funny pointed boots, and countless cards began to overlap with each other with the two of them as the center. The system also gave the results of the space-travel energy fluctuations attached to these cards in a timely manner.

Is he planning to throw me out of this world like last time? No, he's in there too. It seems to me that unless that Pigu Meng he's been talking about is resurrected, he won't have the intention of dying with me. In that case... there's only one place.

Isn’t this... just perfect!

"Then guess what, have you been tricked by me?!"

"Your guess is right?"

Ash's answer was very straightforward. He chose to raise his sword and chop it down again with even greater force. However, this time, Joker fought hard despite being injured and did not retreat a single step. As the two swords rang out, the girl quickly knocked the clown down and ran towards this side.

"Master Piero's resurrection time is approaching, so please give your all again." The joker, whose shoulder was cut in the previous attack, ignored the bleeding wound, and glanced at everyone under the mask with a meaningful tone.

"As a reward, I'll make all the wishes you made today—bad endings! How about that?"

Chapter 132 The Hand That Was Not Grasped

The one in power was laughing wildly even though he was injured, while the other one holding the holy sword was concentrating seriously while holding his breath. The spatial reaction that gradually enveloped him did not throw him off at all. He stood there with the sword held high, as if he wanted to see what tricks the enemy was playing.

Of course, Joker also saw through his plan, but now he is the one who is fearless. He believes that no matter how prepared the other party thinks they are, as long as they go to their home ground, in the face of overwhelming force, it will not be up to him to decide.

The people who hurriedly caught Tangtang did not respond to the provocation of the joker. Everyone was now speeding up. In the moment when Ash was standing still and confronting the joker, the cards had completely wrapped and covered the two of them... no, there was only one last gap left. Midorikawa, who was the fastest, stepped on the wind and stretched out his hand desperately.

Looking at Ash's profile, Zhi couldn't help but think of the scene when he destroyed those souvenirs. To be honest, even though he said nice things and knew that it was Ash's provocation, she still couldn't forgive him from the bottom of her heart.

But that was another matter. At this moment, Zhi chose to stretch his hand further without hesitation.

"Hurry, grab my hand!"

What I could see was that his eyes were gradually overlapping with mine, and he was about to catch me!

Her fluttering hands ignored the pain of the flying cards cutting through her wrists, only wanting to grab his hand. Even more dangerous was that as she continued to advance, she saw her entire wrist about to be cut off by the effect of the space travel.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound in front of her palm, and her palm was pushed back with a slight pain, and she sat down on the ground. The girl stared blankly at the empty space in front of her with helpless eyes. The only thing left in front of her outstretched hand was a card half-stuck in the ground.

"why?"

The girl sitting on the ground gasping for breath had her pupils slightly shrunken.

She couldn't understand why Ash rejected her?

"Ash!"

He quickly used the purification skill to blast the unlucky clown monster that was used to attract attention into pieces, and everyone called out Ash's name.

But this had no effect, and judging by his reaction, it was as if he was being taken away voluntarily.

All that was left was the Joker's hideous grin on the card cover stuck in the ground, as if mocking everyone.

What I couldn't help but feel was worry and uneasiness, as well as a subtle sense of responsibility.

----

He slowly stood up from the long-dead land in a superhero landing posture. The dark fog behind him obscured a dim moon. On the cliff in front of him stood a gloomy and strange castle. The surrounding magma like boiling blood made Ash smell the unpleasant smell of sulfur.

"It stinks! Don't you people in Tragedy Kingdom flush your toilets after using them?"

What he could feel was the dark energy that was everywhere around him. Even the "dark echo" in his body, which had only been quietly growing and no longer causing any trouble, could not help but boil over.

It seems that this is the tragic kingdom that he has been looking for for a long time but still can't find. It really... saves me a lot of effort.

"Stop it, Wang Jian. You'll soon run out of opportunities for wisecracks."

The joker also fell opposite Ash. At this moment, the two people standing on the edge of the cliff, which was like a high tower stage, were looking at each other from a distance. Their confrontational gazes struck down lightning in the air.

There was an expression of confidence on the face of the joker. In his opinion, the roles of hunter and prey had long been reversed.

"You were too confident in your abilities, that's why you didn't seize the helping hand that woman extended!" If it was Ash who attacked him with the grown-up Pretty Cure, even Joker wouldn't have the confidence to escape unscathed, but now... they were at their home turf, and Ash was the only one left!

"Let me make a prediction, too." Every qualified villain must be able to act recklessly after gaining power, and it seems the Joker is quite good at this. "You lose this time. You lose to your own arrogance!"

"That's not necessarily true."

"What?!" Shocked, Joker couldn't help but interrupt him. After all, Ash was overwhelmingly disadvantaged. How could he calmly say such a thing? Was this also arrogance?

"First of all, death—the word I least fear." The dark holy sword swung back and forth like a final pendulum in this utterly dark world, its outlines adorned with ever more enchanting colors as the man's arm moved. "They have undoubtedly grown into trustworthy heroes now... Well, this is their fastest progress in recent memory. I've already feasted my eyes on them, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Furthermore, you deliberately separated us because you wanted our relationship to trigger negative emotions caused by worry. Whoever breaks the limit of these emotions will become your help. Am I right?"

After all, I have done the same thing several times myself, how could I not be proficient at it?

Joker was not upset when Ash revealed his plan. After all, Ash was now standing on the land of the Kingdom of Tragedy and the matter was settled. What could he do even if he saw through it?

"That's a brilliant plan, but it also shows you're using outdated strategies and have no idea how they are now." Ash scoffed at the Joker in front of him, who seemed to have everything under control. How else did he think he could act so indifferent to life and death? "If I die here, just let them know. Believe me, even if your idiotic emperor were to be resurrected, he'd be nothing more than another insect crushed by a miracle."

"You truly have faith in them... Mr. Wang Jian!" Hearing Ash compare his beloved Emperor to a worm, a gloomy murderous aura erupted from Joker with an intensity greater than ever before. "Then, when the time comes, I crush them and your faith together before Master Piero. I'm looking forward to your expression!"

"No, Joker, it's not me who decides the outcome of this matter." Facing Joker's intimidation, Ash didn't mind showing a dashing smile. "The decision is in their hands."

Ash continued to taunt Joker, whose expression was growing increasingly grim. "They will definitely unleash unstoppable power over the loss of their friend. Believe me, they are absolutely capable of such a thing."

Otherwise, why do you think I have pestered heroes so many times and never get tired of it?

Chapter 133 Let's Dance

"You said Emperor Piero, the embodiment of every tragic ending, would be defeated... just because of those five girls who haven't even grown all their hair yet?"

"Who do you think has been with them all the way to this day?" As the saying goes, an enemy's disparagement is the best compliment. Hearing Joker's assessment, Ash felt a surge of joy, akin to the acknowledgment of his achievements. His flirty words practically raised his nose. "If you ask me, isn't this the natural outcome?"

After overcoming numerous difficulties (referring to himself) and obstacles, justice finally defeated evil. Isn't this a happy outcome? Congratulations, Ash wanted to clap his hands and offer his blessings.

"You believe them?!"

"Hahaha!" Ash laughed heartily, just like when Danrito developed a new cassette. "I love them all! Their brilliance is so strong that I have to take my heart away from them!"

Anyway, they can't hear what I say here, so it's okay for me to get crazy and just say whatever I want~

"You [expletive]!"

Faced with the attitude shown by Ash and the confidence he had in them, it was like a dead duck with a stubborn mouth that would not be moved by anything.

Joker, angry.

From the time when Joker first met Ash in Ash's base until now, Joker never believed what he said about being a righteous partner, because in his eyes, Ash was exactly the same kind of person as himself.

Maybe he sneaked up to them, and then backstabbed them at the critical moment after completely gaining their trust, so that this reversal made them completely desperate. This is what the joker guessed and he has enough reason to believe it.

Even as an enemy, Joker actually admires his abilities from the bottom of his heart.

After all, they all wanted to see the Pretty Cure struggling in extreme pain in the tragic ending, and to savor their screams when they were humiliated and their distorted faces of sadness as a side dish. This was what Joker took the initiative to consider after observing Ash.

Especially after arriving at the Kingdom of Tragedy, those things that gradually overflowed from this man...made the Joker's face change constantly. The twisted and wriggling darkness that had never been seen even on Emperor Piero further confirmed the Joker's thoughts.

Then you tell me that this person is actually a heroic chef, and everything he does is to create a hero. While he is the biggest dark person, he actually has a heart towards light... Who the hell would believe this!

"clang--!"

The dagger that instantly appeared in front of Ash went straight for his throat. The sharp strange wind was blown away by the ignited deep purple flame. The purple and gold sword reflected the distorted expression under the mask when his dagger was blocked.

"Ez, Ez." Ash, stepping back to create distance, even had the energy to engage in a quip. In his eyes, the seemingly threatening rain of swords was actually exposed due to the speed of the attack. "Joker, don't get so excited. Look, your image is completely ruined now."

What Ash said was right. At this moment, the Joker with a distorted, ferocious and extremely violent expression was nothing like the cunning, sinister and twisted fun-maker at the beginning. Instead, he looked extremely angry.

Indeed, the anger of the joker was almost burning out his sanity completely, because in his eyes, the tip of the iceberg of the dark tiles finally revealed also made him feel extremely shocked. He couldn't even imagine what such power represented.

If... Master Piero could also possess such power...

It was obvious that he was longing for this in his heart, but this very strength was completely suppressed by the nonchalant guy in front of him, and he didn't take it seriously at all!
