Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

What do you mean by I don’t know how to love?

I'm not interested! These are just insignificant things!

"Power, only power can determine everything in the world!"

After all, isn't the fact that Pretty Cure can crush darkness with justice also a proof of her strength?

I didn't do anything wrong! It's just that I don't have enough strength. I need more strength!

Seize the power of the Pretty Cures and accomplish what no assassin has ever accomplished—I will decide the fate of this fused world!

With one last look back at the love he had placed on the ground, Ash resolutely turned his head back and didn't look at it again.

After figuring everything out and erasing unnecessary emotions, Ash gave up the idea of ​​taking Ai Aida back right now.

For the sake of strength, I must block out unnecessary emotions now. She will see everything later, and then she will definitely come to me again like before!

And that stupid guy... He clearly had a chance, but he gave it up and handed the opportunity to me, didn't he?

So, Mana and the others will see my power!

By then, even Aida Ai will agree with everything I say!

Chapter 41 I have an idea for a great sideshow

"so."

Shifting his gaze to the blurry figure in the distance, Ash's sharp expression instantly returned to his original, disdainful look.

"Hmph, I really got to see a wonderful after-show~~!"

If I could have more power, then I could also obtain all the emotions, the miraculous emotional power from the Pretty Cure!

Since they love me in my memory, I will let them stay with me forever!

And you, a loser, a burnt-out ash, can only watch me—watch me, the real Ash, get all these teeth!

Originally, I was planning to eradicate it completely, but now I have changed my mind.

After realizing the gap in "power", you feel like your spine has been broken. You can no longer be so arrogant, right?

"But it's such a pity."

You know what's the saddest thing about this other me? I suppose we could have been friends. After all, I wouldn't mind having a mirror that reflects my strength.

But your fighting for so-called love and honor or whatever, has gotten to me.

People like Ash have nothing to do with these things, right?

"Life is a game, and taking things easy will make you feel better."

With his back to the unconscious Mana, Ash walked in front of the four lying girls. He raised his hand and summoned upwards. Four bone crosses broke through the ground and rose out of thin air.

"Momozono Ai", "Aono Miki", "Yamabuki Kiri" and "Azuma Setsuna", the names of the four defeated Pretty Cure were written on it.

"In games, there are winners and losers, so my other self is Fresh Pretty Cure."

A crisp snap of fingers began to sound from between his fingers.

"You're out."

Several chains popped out from the cross and quickly tied the girl's neck, hands and feet tightly. After being defeated, the four people lost their strength and no matter how they sobbed and struggled, the chains on their bodies could only be tied tighter. In the end, they were "nailed" to the cross in the shape of a large cross.

"What is this... Stop..."

"No, I hate it—"

"It's so tight... My chest is so tight!"

"Okay~"

Ignoring the girls' cries, Ash rubbed his hands and walked towards the darkness on the other side with great interest.

Although the woman recommended that I should continue to lie dormant, I was no longer interested in enduring. My strength had long been fully restored, and my goal was also quite clear.

“Haha ...!!!”

At this moment, Ash, who was extremely happy and clear-minded from body to mind, just laughed loudly towards the sky, letting his hearty voice soar into the sky.

"continue!"

Defeat their bodies and minds, and seize their glory and power!

"Precure's hunting game!"

------

A didn't want to die, so he called out, asking for help from people he knew, even though it would be shameful and embarrassing to linger on. Now he just wanted to live.

"If you don't want to die, then stand up and continue fighting against the things that are hindering your survival."

However, no one responded to his request.

The only one who responded to him was Ash himself.

"what...."

"Great, A, you finally woke up!"

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a familiar ceiling. This was Ayumi's room. Judging from the warm touch on his hand, this girl must have been holding his hand tightly, waiting for him, and never let go.

He didn't know how the girl brought him back, nor did he know what happened after he said goodbye to Mana and lost consciousness... But now the only instinct he could think of was that he didn't want to die yet.

"Ayumi..."

"Ok!"

"Do you have any more coins?"

"Ah, yes!" Ayumi immediately took out a bag from somewhere in the room, and silver-white cell coins fell on the bed. These were the things they got when they killed monsters together.

"You may not want to see the next scene."

After the battle with "Ash", he was reminded of some essential aspects of his existence and what was going on.

If you're talking about power... then I can only accept power now.

"No!" Ayumi didn't seem to hear the warning in A's voice. She thought he was trying to get rid of her and lie to her again, and then shook her head. "You are seriously injured. I can't leave you--!"

Before she could finish her words, the girl witnessed a truly "horrifying" scene. As the shadow cast on the wall in front of her eyes gradually distorted and grew larger, Ayumi was shocked from the face to the heart. Her eyes widened in fear and she quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.

The A in front of her changed from its original tattered human form to a distorted and degenerate one. It did not look like any animal, but rather a humanoid creature from ancient times. As it madly devoured the coins in front of it, the injuries on its body began to gradually recover.

A also remembered that the only part of Ash's "soul" that was summoned here by the assassin substance that could control dreams was the "soul" of the real Ash. As for the "body" that belonged to humans, it still remained in the system. So to some extent, A and his other self were both "Greed" transformed from the soul part of Ash that represented desire.

Even though this form was nothing but an empty shell without any power to him... after listening to the other party's "advice", he finally chose to face it all.

Even if it means losing everything he has now... huh?

The monster, sensing something, slowly turned his head and saw Ayumi trembling with tears in her eyes also looking at him. The girl still wrapped her trembling little hand in her own mutated claws and showed no intention of moving away.

"you...."

I am part of the remnant of the "monster" Ash, so I am also a monster...

You, aren't you going to run?

Mingming is just an ordinary human being with no special skills, right?

"A... is still an A, right?"

The girl's voice sounded like she was about to cry, but she still had no intention of letting go. She just looked at him with some grievance.

"Then... in that case, A will still be my friend..."

"Ayumi has very few friends... only Miyuki and the others and your A... so..."

Even though she knew it was horrible, Ayumi still couldn't separate it.

Especially the wonderful adventures they had experienced together, even though they were not long ago, they were very important memories to Ayumi! Therefore, she didn't want to leave everything and leave the boy in front of her!

"You...are actually a good person, right?"

“…”

I do not know.

I'm A? I'm Ash?

Am I your friend now?

A didn't say anything, but the somewhat terrifying and strange form of the monster slowly degraded and turned back into the posture that A was familiar with. The two pairs of eyes stared at each other, unable to look away for a long time.

Chapter 42: Ash Compared to A

"Great! Great!"

The excited girl even temporarily forgot her social anxiety that made her shy and uncomfortable with interacting with others. As if she was afraid that A would run away again, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, letting her tears continue to flow and soak his clothes.

I knew it, A is A! Even if it's not actually human but a monster...it's still A!

This is the only thing that won’t change!

"Ayumi..."

"A, you looked like you were about to die and you scared me to death! It's so good that your injury can be healed, but... please don't lie to me anymore! I'm really, really scared if you do this..."

"Feel sorry."

"No..." The tearful girl shook her head at his apology. "Nice to meet you, A!"

After being held like a pillow and letting her act coquettishly for a long time, A, who felt warm in his heart, finally coaxed the crying little girl back to peace of mind.

"That A, although I'm a little embarrassed...but I saw it before."

The two of them sat on Ayumi's bed in silence. As the sun slowly set as time passed, the girl next to them asked a question in a somewhat uneasy tone.

"You and that beautiful red-haired girl are...she, is she also a Pretty Cure?"

Ayumi, who was a little uncertain, first asked a question about Pretty Cure.

"Ah."

A nodded slightly and admitted it.

"Then, can you tell me... did you know each other in the past? Were you friends?" After receiving the other party's affirmative answer, the girl immediately couldn't help but continue to ask.

If A knew Pretty Cure from the beginning, why did he come to me...

"I don't know what to say."

I am Ash, but Ash is not me?

"[Ash] has met many Pretty Cure friends and has developed many deep bonds with them."

"That's it..."

At this moment, the girl who was hesitant to speak was finally able to feel the sadness emanating from the expressionless A without reservation.

"Ai, Lei, Miyuki."

"Arisu, Yuri, Reika..."

"Rikka, Itsuki, Akane..."

Even, even including Makoto, Aguri, Erika, Yayoi, Nao and others...

Name after name was spoken in his deep voice.

"I can feel them."

This is what the memories I inherited tell me.

“But I can’t touch them.”

But I couldn't admit it. I was too inadequate for Ash.

“A….”

Having never seen a member of the opposite sex reveal such a vulnerable side in front of her, Ayumi felt that the sentimentality in her heart seemed to be aroused. She couldn't help but put her hand on his back and slowly stroked it to comfort him.
