Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"So, it's really a blessing to meet you guys when I'm at my worst."

After hearing these words, Rikka, who was still shy, immediately reacted.

This is exactly the same as when he left us.

"sand...."

Longya's figure began to gradually become illusory in front of the girls, and the knight's figure turned into countless tiny particles and began to float upwards, decomposing in front of them.

"Ash—!"

"Don't worry, our meeting doesn't end here." Longya stopped them with a shout and continued seriously. "Listen carefully, the enemy you are facing now is also me!"

"how come..."

"And, Ai Aida, Mana is one of the keys to this incident. Anyway, if you see other Pretty Cure girls, please be a little tolerant. I really want to see you fighting side by side."

Half of the dragon's fang had already disappeared, and the speed of its decomposition and disappearance was far beyond their imagination.

"Please apologize to Mana for me. I'm really sorry that I can't visit her this time..."

"If you want to apologize, go do it yourself!"

Somewhat unexpectedly, everyone flatly rejected the request. Judging from their behavior, no one would convey a message to him. Helpless, Longya could only smile and raise his dissolved hands.

"I know. I can only ask my other self to go and apologize to her."

Also, there's another thing I didn't know until now that I need to tell you.

"And Rikka, you don't have to call everyone to find me. If that's what you want to say to me."

Rikka, whose feelings were revealed in one sentence, didn't even have time to panic before she could only hear Ash's last words with a slight smile.

"If you like me, just be more confident and say it yourself."

.....

"Who, who has ever liked you? People like Ash who always leave without saying goodbye are the most annoying!"

Looking at the empty space that had completely disappeared in front of her, Rikka, with tears in her eyes, loudly vented her "hateful" words.

Chapter 30: Intersecting Swords, Crossed Memories

Facing the pursuit of Kamen Rider Ohken, Cure Beauty and Cure Peace are fighting with all their might in their own way, but they seem quite absent-minded in front of the sword. Neither the flying ice crystals nor the scattered lightning can capture his figure, and they can only evacuate to other places while being chased.

It would be nice if Miyuki was here... After all, she has a criminal record. The girl subconsciously thought so and quickly shook her head to stop thinking about this possibility. After all, the battle is still going on but if she still wants to rely on others, then there is no need for this battle.

Now, are we going to use our power to get Ash back this time?

"Ash!" the blue-haired girl ducked and twisted her waist awkwardly to avoid the sweep of the holy sword overhead, then shouted loudly. "That sword? It's this dark sword, Moon Dark, that allows you to see the future, right?"

"In that case, what kind of future did you see that would make you do such a thing!?"

The air that the holy sword passed through also turned into a sharp blade of wind that was strong enough to cut their skin. The two girls, who were quite embarrassed by the suppression of the sword wind, stepped back repeatedly. After they raised their chins and brushed past the sharp edge of the sword that cut them in half from bottom to top, Yayoi, who was still retreating in fear, was tripped by the stone on her heel and fell to the ground facing the knight with a sound of pain.

"It hurts... Onii-sama! Please answer us soon! Your Yayoi and Reika are here—Nao, Akane, and Miyuki all miss you so much, why don't you answer us!"

Yayoi then remembered that although she had heard Miyuki talk about Ash's "past", it was not until she actually met those girls who were also familiar with Ash that Yayoi confirmed that her brother seemed to be really traveling in different worlds as if he was filming a special effects movie.

However, ever since that unforgettable trip to the chemical plant and the body swap incident, Yayoi's opinion of Ash will not change.

Those Pretty Cures who get so aggressive when they talk about you, I don't believe the "bad things" they say about you, Yayoi! Although Ash can be very extreme at times, he always thinks about us and protects our heroes! I have always believed in Brother!

It would be great if everyone could just get along with each other! But it seemed too difficult for Yayoi to realize such a "simple" wish at this time.

Yayoi, who was fighting hard, continued to call out to him, but Wang Jian remained unmoved. He just turned around and stabbed Yayoi on the ground with his sword. At the critical moment, Lihua hurriedly pulled her collar to help her, and only then did he narrow the distance between him and Wang Jian.

It seems that Wang Jian is not only the Riddler now, but has even turned back into the "stranger" who didn't listen to them.

"Yayoi, what we should do now is..."

"Yeah, I understand...!"

In this situation, Yayoi finally realized that words alone could not resolve the current situation. She wiped away her last tears, gathered her spirits and prepared to fight!

Yayoi: Although I'm still a little tearful, I'm gradually changing towards being strong...and if it's for someone important to me, I'll definitely fight even harder!

Because I am a hero too!

"Ash... I didn't expect that I would have to fight you again now."

With a soft sigh, Lihua, who actually felt even heavier in her heart than Yayoi, recalled everything that happened on the day of "Ash's Rainy Day Revenge Night".

Her stubborn insistence on pursuing the "righteous path" resulted in her being interrupted by everyone's sincere actions. Her heart was almost broken. If she had not been forgiven and healed by Ash the night before the battle, she probably wouldn't even be able to face him now.

However, she also felt ironic that it had not been long before she had to face the knight again.

So, Ash, if you can still see the future, please tell me, my choice at this moment is the right one.

Tao"?

Wang Jian naturally had no intention of responding to Lihua's feelings. He just silently raised the sword in his hand and continued to walk towards the girl.

"I see."

Looking at the red goggles that showed no will, the girl sighed softly and condensed a slender ice crystal sword from the cold air in her hand.

You once told me that as long as I choose to face it instead of avoiding it, then my way of doing things is -

"It will appear before my eyes by itself!"

Recalling the scenes of her kendo training in the dojo, the blue-haired girl held the sword in her left hand at her side, took a deep breath, swept her left foot back, and pointed her right shoulder in the direction of the knight in front of her. Her other hand and left hand were placed on the non-existent hilt of the ice sword, quietly making a gesture as if she was about to draw the sword.

"Beichen Itoriu Aoki Reika—if it's Wang Jian, it's enough to be my opponent!"

"—!"

A sharp and crisp sound like the sound of a bell rang out in front of them. Wang Jian, who had been suppressing the two people with bad mentality, was pushed off the ground and flew backwards for the first time by the force from the other side. The sword slash that broke out in front of Lihua collided with the dark sword without any flaws, and countless shining and freezing ice crystals flew in their previous direction.

"Kacha——"

He sat up silently from the ground and picked up the holy sword that had been frozen to the ground. When the sword was about to point at Lihua again, a bright yellow figure flashing with electricity blocked his way.

"If brother insists on doing this, Yayoi will not back down no matter what you say!"

The hand knife wrapped in electric current kept colliding with the holy sword. At this moment, Yayoi did not shy away from the sharp edge that she once feared very much. She even took the initiative to attack desperately to repel him.

Although I don't know much about love, there do seem to be a lot of people who like Ash... But relatively speaking, the only one who is positioned as a "sister" is me, Yayoi, right?

In this way, Yayoi, I will make you, Ash, even more proud!

"Yayoi!"

Lihua and Yayoi held hands and together they flipped in the air and kicked Wang Jian in the chest with a double kick, who was unable to resist at the moment, and sent him flying through the glass behind him.

Although we are girls, we have seen many hell scenes, whether it is the tragedy kingdom or the Gagu incident, so we believe that we can get through it smoothly this time, together with Ash!

Chapter 31 The Best Smile (4K5)

If possible, neither Yayoi nor Reika wanted to fight with Ash. After all... they thought that the mistakes and misunderstandings of the past were a thing of the past.

Unfortunately, no matter how many times they called out, the girls' voices never received a response. Wang Jian continued to fight them like a ruthless robot.

"Drink!"

The two girls ducked their heads in unison to dodge the swords that were aimed at their leader, then shouted in unison and swung their fists, smashing into the knight's abdomen and knocking him to his knees.

The performance of Pretty Cure was undoubtedly superior to Wang Jian's armor which was made up of pure magical power. Moreover, whether they were opponents or comrades, they all knew enough about Ash's power, including how to fight him properly.

This means that once they make up their minds, victory is already determined.

"Ash, if this moment is a test you set for us."

After putting some distance between themselves and Wang Jian in front of them, the girls held the Smiling Makeup Box tightly in their hands, accumulating a yellow and blue light power.

"Then, to show our growth, all we can do for Onii-sama is to give it our all!"

If the opponent now is Ash, I will be more aware that I cannot retreat even a single step!

For our goal. For the past when we fought together with Ash.

"Precure Beauty Blizzard Arrow I (Precure Pretty Cure Beautiful Blizzard Arrow)!"

The ice crystal swords condensed in Lihua's hands were combined with each other by her sword heads to form a double-edged longbow. Her fingertips wrapped in frost pulled out an arrow frozen with cold air from behind, imitating the flying arrow that pierced the bull's eye that day. The girl pulled the bowstring made of light and let go of the king's sword!

The icy arrow drew a freezing light blue trajectory in the air and pierced the knight's breastplate at such a high speed that the huge ice block that exploded instantly froze and sealed him inside.

"Precure Peace Thunder Hurricane!"

A pale yellow light emanated from Yayoi's body, and her entire body began to spin at high speed with flashes of lightning. She raised her hands with tears in her eyes and released a large amount of lightning condensed into light beams in a V shape to hit the huge ice crystal.

Crackling~

When the girls put down their hands and waited for the violent lightning flashes to die out, Ash's figure was no longer seen among the shattered ice crystals like stars. All that was left was the dark sword Yue'an still inserted in the blooming ice flower.

"Reika, Yayoi!"

Miyuki, Akane and others who came from afar also waved their hands and landed beside the two girls who were adjusting their breathing, looking up and down at the two who were trembling inexplicably.

"We rushed here as soon as we sensed your transformation... What happened? Are you injured? Are you okay?"

Zhi asked with concern while gently patting his friend's trembling back.

"We're fine."

Lihua sighed and touched her itchy neck. In the previous battle, Wang Jian did not hit their vital points. Perhaps this was the result of the other party showing mercy.

"It seems like I was let off..."

I seem to understand a little bit what it feels like to not be happy at all even though you have won.

"We just encountered the resurrected enemy that the senior mentioned, the King Sword... But it didn't answer us anyway, so we had no choice but to defeat it."

"That's it..."

Seeing Lihua's downcast eyes, Qian, having suppressed her own frustration, quickly comforted her. "It's okay, Lihua. At least you stopped someone's plot and prevented Wang Jian from harming innocent people."

"We will never let anyone else use Ash's power again!" Miyuki next to him also put on a rare serious expression and said seriously.

Everything that Jiagu had done was still vivid in their minds, especially for Miyuki, who was the direct victim. She might be the person who had the most right to comment on it.

"Yes, if Ash knew about this, he would definitely smile with satisfaction at Lihua like this."

After listening to Akane and Miyuki's words of comfort, their expressions improved a lot. After all, they had been with him for such a long time that they could almost guess what Ash might say if he were here.

"My opponent is someone I can adjust to and fight seriously. I've really grown." It feels like he would say that.

but……

"Ash...what kind of mood did you come to see us with...and why did you come back?"

Lihua, whose lips and tongue were extremely dry, opened her mouth slightly and looked at the holy sword that was the only one left stuck in the ground after the light, and murmured with some displeasure.

After learning about Ash's past from her senior Pretty Cure and finding clues about him from the attacking monsters, the naturally intelligent Lihua immediately reasoned and came up with the biggest possibility.

Especially when the three relics of Ash, including the broken sword, were stolen, it further proved the possibility that someone was stealing Ash's power. This worst-case scenario of driving their important people to destroy world peace would make these good-tempered girls unbearable and angry.

But if they have to duel with Ash for this, the girls believe they are mentally prepared not to let Ash down.

But now, when this kind of thing really happened, everyone couldn't help but feel melancholy. After all, this might be the end of the bad relationship between them and Ash...

"Why, you ask?"

Ash's voice came from that direction.

"Eh?" A familiar voice suddenly coming from the front woke the girls from their illusory sadness. When they hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice, they saw that the dark sword Yue'an surrounding Zi Yan was trembling on the ground without wind.

"Of course, it's because of you, all of you."

"Sword—" Midorikawa, hiding behind Reika, was so shocked that his image was shattered and he couldn't even speak clearly. "The sword actually spoke!?"

Not only was it talking, but it was Ash's voice! Could it be that... Ash's soul, entangled in grievances, had transformed into the demonic sword Tsukumogami?! It felt like such a thing wasn't impossible for Ash... but it was also incredibly strange!

Nao, who had been terrified of ghosts and insects since childhood, shrank behind his friends, trembling and tiring to show his head. Akane and Reika didn't seem to notice anything about the situation. Next to Yayoi, whose eyes were sparkling and said "I'm curious", Miyuki, who was staring stubbornly at the sword, was not feeling any better than Nao, judging by her trembling legs.

"But you...turns out you can talk!"

Lihua suddenly realized this and realized, "If you could have said something, why didn't you say it earlier? You even made us treat you as a necessary enemy and defeat you for a while... Isn't it embarrassing that we didn't recognize you because we didn't love you as much as others?"
