Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Although I don’t understand these things, but, it’s just like this.

Of course I will help you.

Because I like you very much!

----------

After the sign on the main door of Nasta Café was flipped from "open" to "closed", the annual "Pretty Cure Theme" café, organized by the store manager Yuri Tsukikage, was booked by all the Pretty Cure members to exchange information about their common enemy.

"I never thought you could open your own shop... I'm so envious. I want to open a bakery too~"

"Saki...Ruikai-san said that this shop was inherited by 'that person'."

"Hey! In that case, this is—!"

"Shh—idiot Saki, how can you say something like that in front of others!"

"?" Feeling that she was being mentioned inexplicably, Yuri Tsukikage looked over and saw Hinata Saki struggling with her best friend covering her mouth and Miss Misho Mai trying to force a smile at her.

"Hahaha, this~ the child is ignorant and just joking."

Apart from the duo who were covering their friend's mouth to prevent her from exploding again, the other girls were chatting and laughing while holding the various desserts and drinks that Lily and Itsuki had expertly prepared. Seeing many seniors praising this shop, even Lily couldn't help but puff out her chest with pride.

Although they said they were here to exchange information, in reality, they were talking about a "man" that many people knew.

While waiting for Momozono Ai and Hojo Hibiki who had not yet arrived, they tacitly left space for the three separate groups of Pretty Cure to have a good chat.

"We were 'attacked' by Ash the day before yesterday."

"We also fought Timmons the day before yesterday."

"We're the same... well, maybe more than that. There was a huge hole in Mana's hospital ward yesterday." Pulling up the surveillance footage from his tablet, Arisu showed it to Ash's "victims." "And the doctors also said a violent man came and took the patient hostage. And then a while later, passersby saw suit actors filming Kamen Rider War downstairs in the hospital. They thought it was a location shoot for O-Eye."

Now it seems that it is actually me, right?

The girls came forward, and although the picture of the duo act was a little blurry, the faces of the characters were still roughly captured, especially the man whose body shape was so clearly visible through the camera lens. The girls said that they would recognize him even if he turned into ashes!

"Yes, it's him," Yueying Lily, dressed in waiter's attire, the reflection of her glasses almost looking like Agito's belt, confirmed with certainty. "He's the one who could do such a dastardly thing!"

"No, how should I put it?" Seeing the two people chatting and then starting to fight around Mana, Akane, who had nothing to say, finally spoke up for Ash. "He's definitely a bit of a bad guy, but I think he's... not really that bad at heart."

"If he is truly evil to the core, then I will show no mercy!"

If that's the case, there won't be any regrets for the rest of your life when you die in front of us!

"That Lily sister, even if there's something wrong with Ash! But I think destroying him is definitely—definitely—not possible no matter how you put it. We Pretty Cure should use gentleness to influence the bad guys, right?"

Seeing Lily getting more and more excited, someone on the side panicked, fearing that Lily would yell "Heaven's punishment!" and slash Ash's head. Hoshizora Miyuki quickly danced in front of everyone to try to defend Ash.

"For a guy like this who can't make sense with words, we must use our fists to make him repent!"

Although she tried very hard, Miyuki's defense of Ash was still too pale in the eyes of others who felt that she was not gentle enough. On the contrary, Lily's straightforward conclusion was agreed by some people, which immediately made the pink-haired girl feel at a loss.

Miyuki, I'm happy that Ash has made other friends, but...what on earth did you do to these kids?!

"Ah wow—Ah wow wow wow! No! Lily sister, you can't kill Ash yet, ah wow wow wow—"

"I, I didn't say I wanted to kill him. Don't cry so suddenly?"

What's wrong with this kid? Why does he trust Ash more than Dark Pretty Cure...Is it hard to say whether he has really changed?

"I feel..." Miyuki gave up on thinking and hugged Lily. Lily also became flustered with a crying sloth clinging to her body. She couldn't help but complain to Makoto, who she had just met. "Isn't this big sister too extreme?"

"Hmph, I think that fellow Ash deserves a lesson." Makoto blushed slightly as she snorted in annoyance, thinking of his smug look when he'd teased her, including imprisoning her and asking her to sing a little song for him. "Besides, Miss Yueying is the only high school student among us. She should have unique insights."

"Maybe... it's a stress reaction from being hurt so badly?"

"..."

Lily, who was a little busy and started to coax Miyuki again, Makoto felt that if it was Ash, then this reaction would not be incomprehensible.

Ash, that's so abominable!

After unable to help but repeat it in his heart, Makoto continued to tease the pot of Zigzag on the table with interest, as if it was dancing.

Chapter 49: Fueling the Fire and Starting the War (4K)

"That Miyuki-chan, Lily-san actually said such excessive words because she was worried about Ash."

At the crucial moment, it was Hanasaki Rei, lithe and holding onto her glasses, who rescued Lily, who had been held captive and refused to let go. "Based on our calculations from the day before yesterday, Ryuga, Timons, and Ougi appeared simultaneously, which is different from what we knew."

"Could it be that there are actually three Ashes? Or four?" Rikka, standing beside her, chimed in, raising the core question for Rei. "If that's the case, are the Ashes we've met all really the same person?"

"!"

As soon as she said this, Rikka quickly felt several gazes focused on her.

What? It turns out they're not the same person~ Thinking of this, several girls suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If this is really the case, then we don't have to make things difficult for each other~

"I... I think the fact that the Kamen Rider who came to our world and became both an ally and foe of Pretty Cure is also named Ash is probably more than just a coincidence."

While there's certainly some self-deception involved, something behind Rei, who lightly tilted her glasses to radiate wisdom, seemed to begin playing. "Especially considering the disparity in how Ash behaved when we three groups of Pretty Cure encountered him, it's a stretch to say they're from the same world, but different people. It's even more difficult to infer a connection, which is to say!"

"That is to say?"

Seeing the attention that was suddenly attracted to her, Lei Ru turned her head away as if she had something to hide.

"The problem with Ash is, if he's not a villain playing with our feelings..."

If he really is a playboy who, after stirring up so many people's feelings, immediately forgets about the past in the next world, then we just need to teach him a lesson and make him realize it.

"That's the worse situation for him."

Miyuki and Arisu-chan both said that Ash's memories of others would be erased and worn away if the infinite silhouettes didn't help him.

Ash... is it because of someone's past that you keep trying to crave more love? Just our words aren't enough, are they?

If so, now you are back... maybe with flowers, maybe with thorns.

The pink-haired girl's melancholy gaze drifted to Qi Jiela who was standing beside her. Seeing that Lian Xiaohua was also using branches and leaves to make a shrug, Lei sighed somewhat unbearably.

How can we love you?

After hearing Lei's words, the smart people present also fell into a sad silence.

"So there's still a possibility of playing with feelings?"

"Please, just be quiet at a time like this, please!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the circle had finally calmed down and was becoming unstable again, Xia Muling was so scared that she dared not breathe and almost fell to her knees because of her good teammate Komachi who unconsciously added fuel to the fire.

She could see that when her teammates talked about other people's gossip, every one of them was a talent.

"Oh~ Maybe brother has learned the technique of clones from ninjas?" Unable to help but take a few more glances at the strangely familiar landscape plants on the table, Yayoi's eyes turned to A on the tablet screen in Arisu's hand.

Although the picture shows Ash making things difficult for the white-haired boy, for some reason, Yayoi doesn't think he is a stranger. Instead, from all his expressions, this boy is the one they are familiar with... the familiar Ash, right?

Although it was a ridiculous conclusion, Yayoi felt it instinctively, and it seemed that she was not the only one who thought so.

So how many Ashes are there?

"You have been bullied by Ash, we have been bullied by Ash... Are there any other Pretty Cure who has been bullied and teased by Ash that we want to get to know?" Erika, who was lying on the table like a pufferfish, put her chin on the table with full dissatisfaction, rolling her face and slapping the table continuously.

"Really? This playboy who can't even find love is always getting into trouble. He's still acting this way even though he's already with someone else! Even though I have a heart wider than the ocean, I can't stand it any more!"

Erika wanted to drink something to vent her emotions, but she felt even more depressed when she picked up the cup and found that it was the special Martian coffee he left behind. She bit her lip and looked at Lily standing at the bar.

"Just catch him, lock him up in our house and torture him until he realizes who he really loves!"

"Erika, stop talking like that..."

Just when Lei was asking her bestie to be more restrained, she discovered that after Erika made an unintentional complaint, Arisu, Reika and her own Itsuki beside her all had expressions of sudden enlightenment... Don't show such enlightened expressions at this time!

Ah... Ash, who is not a playboy but has become a playboy, Mr. store manager who flirts with women everywhere, it seems that Xiaolei can't protect you now, so you'd better wish you good luck.

"So, are you sure the enemy this time is the Ash you mentioned?"

When they finally stopped, Mimo Nagisa, finding an opportunity to interrupt, came over with the signature Martian coffee she had picked up.

"It's pretty close..."

After all, the Kamen Rider that day conveyed this news to them.

It's a bit weird to say this is a challenge from the bad guys, but...isn't it a call for us to keep fighting and not give up?

If it was concern, it really had the gentleness of Ash's style.

"This person is very important to you, right?" Putting aside the other behaviors that made Nagisa want to call the police, their longing for Ash was also tangible. "If you want to fight with such a person, then..."

"If our opponent is Ash, we must fight even more!"

Although their meanings are different, the ideas they convey to their predecessors are very consistent.

Whether for herself or him, the girl warrior's fighting spirit will not be easily extinguished after seeing her old friend again.

"You guys are so strong."

"Of course, that person is our best companion and rival."

Although I don't know who said this, judging from the girls' expressions, they all seemed to be in high agreement.

This person has really brought about some incredible changes to you... Even though as an outsider listening to Ash's story, Nagisa really couldn't like this guy, but it was also obvious that the girls had a love-hate relationship with this man.

Unable to help but sigh, Mimo Nagisa drank the "Martian Coffee" in her hand that she had specially brought to show her senior's reliability.

Just as she was still thinking, the pitch-black drink, a mixture of hundreds of flavors and distinct aromas, dissolved and exploded on the tip of Nagisa's tongue!

Oh, I heard this is the craftsmanship left behind by that person. I originally thought it would be unpalatable, but it's quite fragrant...

"Pfft-"

"Nagisa!"

Looking at the person lying on the ground twitching and rolling his eyes, Honoka and Kujo Hikaru were frightened as they took his pulse and pinched his philtrum.

"No breathing!" The blue-haired girl, who had risen from her friend's chest, looked desperate. "Nagisa, dead!?"

On that day, Mars Coffee defeated Cure Black, which was known as the invincible coffee in the world.

"No, it seems that I just fainted from taking too much nourishment?"

After heaving a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no danger to his life, he licked the remaining coffee in the cup that had fallen on the ground. It tasted delicious, and Kujo Hikari came to this conclusion by poking the face of the brown-haired girl who was muttering "Sakena" and foaming at the mouth.

"Everyone, something bad has happened!"

While everyone was still talking and laughing, Mizunoe Kaoren put down her phone and spoke to everyone with a serious face.

"None of the other four, including Meixi, went home yesterday! Her family just called to ask if they spent the night with us!"

"But we've been waiting for them, and we haven't seen them yet?"

The girls looked at each other in confusion.

"Could it be that we were attacked by the enemy?"

The moment someone made this suggestion, everyone's eyes fell on the seats reserved for latecomers.

"In that case...the current Suite Pretty Cure hasn't arrived yet."

"Could it be that even Xiang and the others are involved?!"

--------

“Mmmmm…”

A crushing defeat, another crushing defeat.

The Suite Pretty Cure girls, who used the power of music to perform various miracles by playing music that reached the hearts of others, also fell to the ground helplessly. Until their battle suits dissipated along with their scattered wills, the girls could not understand why their notes full of purifying power had no effect on him.

"It's useless. Just relying on your whirlwind of happiness and joy...

Melody, how could it possibly be useful to me? "

She's a Pretty Cure who uses the power of music to fight, but judging by Ash's unusual musical taste... it's just not powerful enough! Music that can't even burst a person's eardrums is too low in purity!

I feel inferior to... my daughter Makoto.

"Mmmmm--Mmmmm!"

The man grabbed both sides of his cheeks and lifted him from the ground. With his mouth completely covered, Diao Bian Yazi couldn't even cry out. No matter how hard he hit him with his fists, he had no intention of letting go.

"What? You can't sing anymore?" Ash watched with interest as the elementary school student struggled and cried. Bullying someone until they cried felt a unique sense of satisfaction. "You apparently have a good voice, but in the end, the only sound you can hear is a wailing sound."

"Stop it, you can't—meow!" Kurokawa Airen, who was struggling on the ground and trying to stop Ash's violence, was stepped on the back and cried out in pain.
