Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Dad, can you pass me the cake?" He lay on the table, not wanting to move, and blinked his big, cute eyes at his orange-haired friend.

"Who is your father?" Although she said that, Ling still handed the small cake that Wang could not reach to her after Lei passed it to her.

"Dad! I want a drink too!" Ulala also joined in the fun, and then got a bottle of mineral water and a hand knife in return.

--------

"Hahahaha-"

Controlling the crystal ball in front of him that he had stolen from an abandoned castle, he watched through remote projection the entire process of the girls' "debate" about Ash. Ash, who was grinning so hard that his mouth could hardly close, covered his stomach and rolled on the ground without caring about his image.

“It feels so pitiful after watching it, hahaha——”

"Shut up!"

A low roar like thunder sounded from the side. After shedding his transformed form and wearing a white shirt, Yaxiu lifted a fallen leaf that had fallen on his forehead. After stretching lazily on the ground like a cat, he raised his palm with a wink and sent a seductive look to someone.

"No, Ash-chan~ Why are you reacting so strongly? Are you anxious? Are you really anxious?!"

Yaxu, who was pointing at her and mocking her, rolled over from the ground. The next moment, several sharp bone spurs were already stuck in the ground where she was lying.

"No, Ash-chan, if a man's aim is not good, it will put the woman at a disadvantage."

Listening to Yaxu's casual witticisms, the man with extremely fierce eyes did not say anything. Instead, he beckoned his finger at the sound of Yaxu's exclamation, and let the crystal ball fly over and he caught it in his hand.

"Yeah—that's what I use to eat the melon, don't touch it!"

"Kacha!"

Begging for mercy was of course useless, as the crystal ball shattered as quickly and efficiently as any other thing that could break.

"I'm not interested in all this gossip from you bitches. If you said you'd help me, get down to business!"

"Tsk, I'm just having fun, what a narrow-minded man."

The girl who was punished by having her internet cable pulled out curled her lips, and finally turned her unwilling gaze towards "Ash" who was sitting on the throne.

The girl snapped her fingers and projected another picture, which was the image of Ai Aida who was sleeping in the ward. The girl's expression was relaxed as she fell into her dream, and she maintained a breathing that was perhaps too steady.

"Her longing for Ash is the strongest of all. In other words, her desire is also the strongest! As long as she continues to dream about you in the dream I wove for her, the degree of your recovery of power will become more and more complete."

"Thank her! She's been providing you with a constant supply of strength!" He exaggeratedly spread his hands out to the sides, a hint of envy in his tone quickly replaced by a cold sneer. "How greedy of you to let such a beautiful girl keep worrying about you, Ash... Okay, I know what you're worried about. Unless Ai Aida can free herself from this beautiful state, she won't wake up."

"But, the chances of that happening are unlikely, right? After all, how could you let go of something you've lost so deeply and felt so badly about once, when you finally get hold of it again?"

"Haha... the deeper the Pretty Cure's love, the stronger the enemy. What a joke."

Listening to Ash's open and hidden sarcasm, Ash, slumped in the royal chair, stared at the smiling girl in the projection, with flickering emotions behind the pale bone mask.

Chapter 12 Are You OOC?

In order to gain new power to achieve his own goals, Yaxiu reached a cooperation agreement with Yaxiu, who mastered all the power of assassin materials, and they jointly targeted what these pretty girls of light represented.

But honestly, the total number of Pretty Cures gathered in this world is a whopping 33! It's a terrifying lineup that would make even the most ruthless villains want to go home for their mothers. Even Hungry Belia would be forced to kneel down, and Touma would just say "good story" and run away. Momotaro would even give it a "75 points" if he saw it. It's really not easy to cause trouble here.

However, Ash was confident. After all, it was she who had protected the newly born Ash from the two black and white Pretty Cure girls and successfully escaped. And even though she was born from Pretty Cure, she could still achieve her goals. After all...

Pretty Cure~They are all good kids.

"Okay, then...it's time to wait~"

I'm waiting for you, all the Pretty Cure fans~ Of course, the cutest one among all the Precures is definitely me!

----------

"The one we were fighting was [Masked Rider Ryuga], who looked exactly like the main character, the Ryuki, except for the color!"

"The store manager was [Kamen Rider Timmons], who wielded demonic powers. He pretended to be the store manager who was helping us, while pretending to be Timmons who was attacking us. He really tricked us... Hmm, I wonder what's become of that little demon, Kain, who was with the Dark Pretty Cure."

"I've never heard of the name Timmons, but I know Ryuga! It turns out that Brother has transformed into so many Kamen Riders!" Yayoi, who was in fantasy time, was so excited that her saliva was about to flow out. It was not until she couldn't bear it anymore that she poked him with her elbow and quickly wiped her saliva.

"Sorry, sorry... I'm getting a little excited talking about this topic. If we're together, Ash will transform into a swordsman named [Kamen Rider King Sword]! It seems like he's a purple knight that will appear in the future!"

"A purple... swordsman?"

The three groups of Pretty Cure were exchanging information about Ash with each other. Especially when talking about the Kamen Riders appearing in other worlds, the keyword "King Sword" from Yayoi made Makoto's heart inexplicably lifted.

Thinking about how this guy used the princess's information to force me to call him dad... But what makes the girl even more angry is that I can't change this title, and everyone is laughing at me!

But she never expected that Ash would one day become a character like herself.

"This...how can I feel so embarrassed..." Makoto blushed and rubbed the corner of her clothes, lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.

As the conversation progressed in a relaxed atmosphere, the Pretty Cures nearby also changed from being at a loss of what to do at the beginning to being able to watch the show calmly. Wang, who also heard this, unconsciously looked at Kaimi next to him.

"The purple sword one is also here."

"What?! I'm so sorry I'm not Kamen Rider!" Kumi turned Wang's head back viciously.

Just as the two were about to start a fight under the "accustomed" gazes of their teammates, a huge book page opened from the side, and Miyuki, who had just left briefly, walked out with a book in her hand.

"Found it, this! It's the picture book we wrote together for Ash!"

Kumi and Nozomi from the 5GOGO group started playing around again, but no one paid any attention to them now. As women, their curiosity was aroused by this rare adventure that only happens once in a century, and everyone stared at the book, immersed in the story of the gossips on the spot.

In order to prove the truth of her words more practically, and also under the strong "request" of Lily and Arisu to know the truth, after passing through the door of the book given by Ash, Miyuki took out the fantasy driving book from the mysterious library, which symbolizes the world and also contains the feelings between Ash and them.

"[Dragon Be Here]!"

Hearing the roll call of the props taken from Ash's CV, Aguri and Erika, who had returned, listened to this long-lost sound and their eyes became a little dazed for a moment.

"[This is a story of the heart between a boy and a girl, about protecting the soul and looking forward to the future, opened by a man who was once a dragon]!"

"As for Ash, even though he always says that everything he does is not entirely for us, maybe it's just his unique way of expressing himself...but I have to say that he has indeed been helping us in his own way." Even Zhi, who had been hurt by him before, now speaks well of Ash.

"He's helped us so much over the years... so we wanted to repay him, and so we decided to work together to complete this picture book of Ash's story! Of course, in the end, it was this symbol of bond that called for a miracle, allowing us to defeat Piero together!"

A miracle?... That's great. Obviously, our miracles only happen at the very end, and we only have time for a word.

The more Miyuki and the others recounted Ash's story with reverent expressions, the more unreal it seemed to Arisu, Itsuki, and the others. The idea that Ash would actually apologize and even cooperate with them, showing concern and consideration, sounded like an outrageous OOC fanfiction...

But the more I heard about the stories of Ash and the others supporting each other, the more I felt envious...

"Of course, I think this must be the result of the guidance of our predecessors in making Ash open his heart, so we can also send our thoughts to him."

Even a little jealous...

"However, judging from the current situation...was it Ash who took the card given to Mana back?"

"Well, the seal we originally carried with us was also stolen. Although it looks damaged, the remaining power inside should still be very strong."

"The dark sword Yuedari that Ash took back from us contains the power to see the future."

Seeing that others were interested in this matter, Qian added something.

"I can only see a hopeless and tragic future."

"A hopeless future? Is it similar to the 'maze' created by Mobius?" Thinking of the enemies she had faced before, Taoyuan Ai frowned as if she was recalling some bad memories.

"Uh... I think it should be a little different." The person who was standing next to him waved his hand with some dissatisfaction.

But what is the purpose of that person collecting these props?

"Then the problem is that Ash got the items back, and he might even be behind the monsters."

"Ash, what are you planning to do this time?"

Chapter 13: The Girl's Worry About Ash

"I'm sorry... I was asked to keep the Dark Sword, but unexpectedly it was taken away..."

"It's okay. After all, if it was Ash who came to get it, there would be nothing we could do. No one would blame you for blaming yourself, Miyuki."

Although no one meant to blame her and instead rushed to comfort her, Miyuki's spirits, which had been lifted by the storytelling, visibly dropped when she thought of the sword that held their past.

"Indeed, Miss Miyuki, please don't blame yourself too much." Although Miyuki's unconscious story about Ash made some people grit their teeth, everyone could see that this innocent girl was not really showing off. Arisu, who was standing by, also dispelled the subtle grudge in her heart and walked over to her side, gently comforting her: "At least that person may still be thinking of you and didn't attack you directly... Although Mana was not seriously injured, she is still lying in the hospital. This is indeed very Ash's style, but the discrimination is really too much~"

"Ah, that shouldn't be the case..." Miyuki waved her hands in panic at Arisu's teasing, trying to defend Ash. "Ash isn't like that. He must really care about you guys! But... by the way, he must have been influenced by something this time! We, we have to help him together!"

"Are you still speaking up for Ash? Oh... As expected of Miss Miyuki. With such a sincere heart, no wonder he values ​​you so much."

Really, if we were to be watched helplessly by a child whose eyes and heart were as clear as pure water, wouldn't it seem that we were the ones being too unkind?

"No, no..." Hearing that Arisu's words actually acknowledged her, Miyuki was stunned at first, then her face turned red with shame and she even stammered, "I, I, he and I are...that...love..."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can't! In front of all these new people, especially those I knew from my past as Ash—I'm too shy to say "I like you"! Pupupupu!!!!

"Oh..." Lily sighed and put on her glasses in her pocket again. She stretched out her hands and pinched the girl's soft cheeks while she looked a little puzzled. The dull expression she had had from the beginning finally revealed a hint of a smile.

"He's so lucky to have the help of nice girls like you."

"But because of this, we are all inextricably linked to him. If he is going to do something bad again this time."

"We must stop him even more. No matter what his purpose is, we must not let him make a bigger mistake!"

After everyone thought that all the "relics" that originally belonged to Ash were taken away, they also smelled a hint of conspiracy. Thinking about the extraordinary power contained in each of those props, they also became serious after realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"Does this mean we're going to fight Ash again?"

Excluding Makoto and the others who showed a hint of nostalgia, Miyuki and Akane's expressions suddenly became a little ugly when they thought about what they might be facing.

It's not that they haven't fought with Ash before, but the first time was to gain Ash's recognition and bring him to their side; the second time was to awaken his heart that was lost and wandering in the battle and turn him back from a killing machine to the original Ash. Although both battles were difficult and painful, judging by the results, they did a very good job.

But they were not the only ones telling stories about Ash. They also included the completely "self-centered" person mentioned by Rikka and the "manipulator" store manager mentioned by Ray. Although they were all Ash, the more they listened, the more guilty and panicked they felt.

The person I met was willing to open his heart to me after the changes he had experienced with his previous relationship, but what if... he becomes the sincere "villain" enemy I described in the past?

Will I be able to save him then?

Hoshizora Miyuki's hands, which had been clenched until they were shaking, loosened weakly. For a moment, he lacked the confidence to face such an Ash.

Similarly, Hanasaki Rei felt just as heavy, not knowing how to face Ash again.

The more times like this, the more distinct the memories become, whether it's the date when only the two of us were together, the last time I was with him before the war, his last words, my confession and the response I never received.

There are so many other girls around, but I didn't have time to respond to the one I liked.

There are so many regrets for her and the people around her.

These were memories that I had finally come to terms with, but now they've come flooding back again, making me sad... Ash, you're still the same as always, still giving us problems even when you're not around.

Ash, when I heard you were able to go to other worlds and play different roles, I really wanted to be happy for you...

But your appearance this time... does it mean that the store manager will become our enemy again and stand against us?

If this is really the case, how should we face you?

The eight universes in which the Pretty Cures exist quietly merged into an independent world under some mysterious phenomenon. What's more coincidental is that the phenomenon of the fusion of the worlds happened during their vacation time, giving the Pretty Cures who originally belonged to other worlds the opportunity to have a new intersection.

Although they are warriors, these girls are still students at heart... Whether it is Ai Aida, Rei Hanasaki, or Miyuki Hoshizora who was discharged from the hospital not long ago, they all feel the same now.

These girls, who have experienced hard struggles, gained and lost, have only recently come out of the sadness of losing important people. At the same time, they want to use this holiday to reconcile with these sad memories and regain the courage to move forward into the future with everyone.

So they had never expected to encounter such an event. Whether it was the arrival of a completely new and different enemy, the existence of the Pretty Cure "family" in opposition, or the evidence both overt and covert behind the battle—this series of events was all connected to "him"! The source of their concern and sadness, the man who died for them, was connected to "Ash"!

So whether it was Yotsuba Arisu, Tsukikage Yuri, or Aoki Reika, even these girls who always acted as think tanks in the team and could always use their intelligence and calmness to guide their companions in battle or in life, also felt genuine hesitation and confusion.

They are probably not ready to face all this.

At least that's what they think.

Chapter 14: Ash's Arrangement for the Girl

All good things must come to an end. After exchanging contact information and deciding to settle the score with the enemy next time, the Pretty Cure went back to their homes and looked for their mothers as the sun set.

"Huh...tnnd, I was scared to death."

Similarly, A was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and walked out from the darkness where he was hiding amidst Ayumi's puzzled gaze.

"A's expression is strange... Is she someone you know? If so, why don't you go and say hello to her?"
