Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Yes, after realizing that this seemed to be the truth, both the seniors who found it hard to look at and Ash himself who was asking “Is there such a thing?” were shocked by Miyuki’s amazing wisdom!

Don’t tell me whether it is wise or not, just tell me whether it is shocking or not!

"I..." Qian, who was shy and lacked her usual energy, muttered softly. "I think...it's not impossible."

"If it's Kazumi Yuki and everyone else." Reika, who didn't even remain silent, nodded steadily. "I have no objection. I will do my part."

"Hmm... Let's all become brides together~" Lei, holding her face in her hands, seemed to be lost in some kind of delusion and made a crazy sound. "Ash hehe~?"

"If Ash's desire is that great." Itsuki patted his burning cheeks and nodded vigorously. "Then I will satisfy Ash's heart."

"Indeed, if I wore that wedding dress for Ash." The girl, who was almost falling into a dream again, shook her head hurriedly. "How is that possible! Wouldn't doing so violate--"

"Hmm." Arisu, surprisingly calm, quickly came to a conclusion. "If it's based on the influence of the Yotsuba Group, then it's possible to make changes directly..."

"If I ask for help from Sebastian right now—!"

"Arisu--! Calm down, why are you already serious?!"

Just as Mana was feeling confused about her friend's situation, she heard a noise over her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw Rikka looking at her with a half-smile on her face.

"Wasn't Mana's previous ideal to spread love throughout the world?"

"Rikka!" Mana, hugging her childhood sweetheart who seemed to be acting strangely, was even more amused and confused. "That's true, but it's not the case at all. It's really weird!"

"Don't think like that, Mana." The blue-haired girl, one hand on her chest, explained her thoughts to her best friend earnestly. "I understand how you feel. I remember feeling the same way myself."

"But, instead of monopolizing the person you like, try liking the people your favorite person likes. That way, your circle of friends will become wider and wider."

Rikka said to Mana with narrowed eyes and a smile.

"Isn't it good?"

Mana's hands trembled as she climbed onto Rikka's shoulders.

"Rikka, is it really okay for you to say something like this?"

Facing her friend's questions, the girl still kept smiling. It was no longer the forced smile she used to have, but a smile that came from her heart.

"I'll only be happier if I can be with Mana."

The swallow who once carried the "gold nugget" representing happiness for the King of Happiness, now finally has a face filled with the color of happiness.

Because, in the photo just now, it was Ash who held my hand and didn't let me leave.

In other words, my hidden heart has not been ignored, right?

Even though it was just such a tiny response, I was already very satisfied.

"I'm not an idiot, Miyuki is a genius!" Seeing that the terrifying atmosphere that seemed to be about to swallow Ash up was finally resolved by her "genius" suggestion, Miyuki was also very pleased. "Great, everyone, including Ash, will be together. It's ultra happy when everyone is harmonious!"

"Yeah, as long as everyone is friendly and harmonious."

Seeing that even Ash was smiling, Miyuki quickly nodded and laughed happily in response.

"Sure enough, as long as everyone—Ohhhhhhh!"

"So...you stupid woman!"

Ash, who had never fought back before, was so angry that he clenched his fist and aimed the protruding part at Miyuki's forehead and began to "crush" her repeatedly, using the "burning" punishment that made the girl scream.

"Do you know what the hell you are saying?!!!!" the man shouted in undead language.

"If you have something to say, tell me straight away. You've omitted the beginning and the end, and it's so scary. Who can understand me?"

"What do you think you've done?!"

You never disappoint me in the most crucial moments, but you shouldn't have to do something so drastic when it's crucial! Where did you get this "Takibara"?!

"Wow, wow!" Miyuki screamed in pain, clutching her head and running frantically between the girls. "But, but I didn't lie!"

"Haha ...." Miyuki rubbed her eyes and racked her brains to recall a similar scene from an anime she'd watched. "It's like, how do you put it... I'm not clean anymore."

"Hey, you're a quick learner, aren't you?" Seeing the weeping girl hiding behind a helpless Akane, an exasperated Ash put his hands on his hips. "You said you were having a wonderful night, but you turned over in the middle of the night and shoved your feet up my nose and mouth!"

"Pfft!" Perhaps thinking about how Ash had actually been dealt such a blow, Ai and Lily couldn't help but laugh out loud. Lihua and Lei beside them also shrugged their shoulders, enduring with great difficulty.

"You know how I woke up? It stinks, okay?!"

"Pfft-"

Now everyone who heard it laughed out loud, even Yashu who was secretly clinging to the branches of the Heart Tree covered her mouth tightly to prevent them from hearing her voice.

Chapter 104: The Final Confession

"W-What did you say—hiss!"

Facing Ash who was talking nonsense to her, Miyuki bared her teeth and made a hissing sound like a frightened small animal.

"Besides, whose feet smell? It's not like that!"

Miyuki, who hadn't expected Ash to reveal her secrets in front of so many people, was immediately embarrassed and angrily tried to take off her shoes, disregarding her image. "My feet don't stink! I wash them thoroughly every day in the shower! There's absolutely no odor at all. If you don't believe me—come over and smell it!"

"Tsk, no way." Facing the dangling little feet, Ash, with a look of disdain on his face, waved his hand at the girl, who was unsteadily standing on one foot with her shoe held up. "It's shameful, I don't have the habit of smelling other people's stinky feet."

"They're not stinky feet! You blame me for not explaining it clearly, so why don't you explain it to me clearly too!" Miyuki, standing alone, lost her balance and fell to the ground, still stretching out her feet. "They don't stink at all, come and smell them, come and smell them!"

"What's wrong with you, woman?" He reached out and grabbed her ankle, pulling her upside down. Ash angrily pressed the leather shoes on the ground back onto her dangling feet. "Why are you so stupid!"

Miss Ikuyo is so gentle, mature and intellectual, so why are you, a little girl, so out of touch?

How come such a pretty and cute girl who has perfectly inherited her mother's temperament has such a weird brain?

"Because, because—I'm just this dumb, that's why I'm liked by you!"

In fact, the girl, who had already been seen naked, blushed and quickly covered her legs with her skirt, muttering incoherently.

"Ha~ Are you saying that only idiots would like me?"

"After all, Ash is so difficult to get along with....It's up to you to interpret it however you want.凬"

After all, Ash really is like the heroic knight who saves the beauty in a fairy tale and appears in front of me together with the evil devil. He is so dazzling and mysterious, so of course I would be curious and want to get close to you.

How can I not like such a person like Ash...?

"Ash."

Watching the man playfully joking with Miyuki again, Mana sighed with a mixture of nostalgia and amusement, recalling how he had been in a completely different era. "He really seems to be having a lot of fun."

"Mana."

Putting the well-behaved Miyuki in his arms on the ground, Ash noticed that although Mana said the same words, her tone was now full of tenderness, as if...she was happy for him.

"Are you crying?"

"No, I'm not that fragile." The girl wiped her eyes and continued to smile happily. "I'm just happy to see Ash finding more and more love and happiness instead of suffering alone."

In the past, Ash, who was always looking for trouble, had caused them a lot of trouble. At that time, Mana simply wanted to help him out of her natural enthusiasm but didn't know why he needed help. She was so blind in the past.

It was not until the brutal Ash almost took away everything that she saw her true self. She had the opportunity to face Ash's once extremely empty heart, and she finally found the right thing to do.

But she didn't even have the time to stay with him for a while longer before they said goodbye. It was only now that she found the shadow of that time in other Pretty Cure girls.

I had once made up my mind that I wanted him to be able to be happy and bask in the happiness of his true self under the bright sunshine.

Have I done it now?

"Yes."

Lei beside him sighed deeply before revealing a slightly serene smile. "In the past, Ash constantly switched between being the store manager and Timmons, aiming to cultivate a true 'superhero' capable of defeating Doone. Regardless of the specifics of his methods, it was certainly quite painstaking."

"Indeed!" Erika beside him nodded seriously. "But Ash always ran away at the critical moment, no matter whether he faced our doubts or our kindness."

Lily nodded in agreement. "It's really too much to run away until the moment you're about to leave us and then confront something."

Originally, considering Ash's eccentric personality and that handsome face that was very effective in deceiving little girls, he seemed completely irresistible to the Pretty Cure. The girls found it understandable that some infatuated little girls would accidentally fall for him.

However, when they saw Ash finally laughing with other children, even if they were not theirs.

"But now Ash no longer avoids other people's kindness."

Ai, Lei and the others couldn't help but smile with great relief.

"I see." Akane, who had listened carefully and taken in the expressions of her seniors, nodded with a slightly grave expression. "Saving Ash was truly an incredibly difficult undertaking."

"Yeah, just like in special effects movies, the final enemy always requires the combined strength of everyone else to defeat." Yayoi, squatting next to Ash, also sighed. "It was everyone's efforts that saved Ash!"

"Yes." Thinking of everything that had happened since he arrived in this world he had never dreamed of, and met them, Ash sighed with emotion. "From emptiness to escape, and now, I have finally witnessed the golden glory of heaven."

"Today, I no longer seek or crave your salvation."

Of course, I am no longer a child.

Patting Miyuki's back and pushing her forward slightly, Ash smiled at the face that seemed to still not understand.

"It is your love that has always been with me, not any other antidote. It is your wind that has allowed me to find the scenery that can calm my heart."

"You are my Garden of Eden. Even if the fruits rot after the sun sets, I will not forget you."

So he bowed his head with a solemnity that even surprised himself.

"Thank you, Pretty Cure."

"I love you."

Then--

The dark and twisted light gave the girls goosebumps all over their bodies, and the evil smell emanated unrestrainedly.

A dark color that completely contradicts the beautiful nature of Pretty Cure burst out from Ash's body amid the girls' extremely surprised expressions.

"Kacha——"

At the same time, Lei, Miyuki, and especially Mana, felt that something as illusory as a "dream" was shattered in the fantasy in their minds.

Chapter 105: Traditional Performing Arts in the Movie Version

"that is!"

Nagisa and others who had fought against this thing before immediately clenched their fists nervously.

"This is that assassin substance!"

The result of the combination of the remnants of evil power and resentment that fought against the Pretty Cures in different worlds, coupled with the "natural disasters" that continuously absorb the negative emotions of all things in the world, is the "assassin substance" that makes it difficult for ordinary Pretty Cures to match.

The reason why their worlds merge at a specific time to allow different Pretty Cures to get to know each other is also partly to allow them to work together to fight against such evil existence.

But this time the development was quite different. After being defeated by them, the assassin substance did not look for them again. Instead, it used its own abilities to summon Ash from Mana and the others' dreams and found him.

"I see!" Thinking of the information she had heard on the cross and combining it with everything that was happening at the moment, Honoka showed an expression of enlightenment.

According to what "Ash" once said, the assassin substance should be the source of his power and was integrated into this body, forming a symbiotic relationship that was too deep to be separated.

Until the unparalleled purifying power of the "Echo of the Mind" released by Ayumi achieved a certain qualitative change in Ash's body, and with the blessing of the man's heart that would never waver in principles, it was suppressed in Ash's body.

"The assassin's substance now wants to escape from his body before it is truly suppressed and destroyed!"

However, he will definitely be hurt along the way!

"Ash!"

The girls exclaimed and wanted to extend their hands to the man in front of them.

They will never see that happen again!

"Heart Full Echo!"

Pure white purifying light poured straight into Ash's body from the gap between them. Yes! It was Cure Echo, who had been hiding among the girls and remained silent. She had been waiting for this moment without saying a word!

“Ahhhh▇▇▇▇——!” In the afterimage of Ash’s constantly shaking body, a ghost-like existence visible to the naked eye, bathed in pure white light, screamed as if its body was being torn apart as if it was melting.

"!" The girls who reacted immediately followed Ayumi closely, and used their strongest purification skills to blast the swaying "assassin substance", and finally pulled it out of Ash's body with a scream.

"Huh...I did it." Surrounded by the people who had reunited, Ash fell back softly into the girl's arms, and was then hugged tightly by Mana.

"What? You want to leave us like this again? Coward!"
