Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"We meant to say..." The two girls exchanged glances and bowed deeply to Ash in apology. "Sorry!"

"?" Ash scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"When we first saw you on the rooftop of our school, that black light..." the girl, looking somewhat pitiful in her sorrow, recalled. "We thought you were another bad guy out to cause trouble. After all, that dark energy reaction was really..."

"I'm not trying to excuse ourselves, it's just true! But..."

Before Ash could say anything, they blamed themselves even more.

"Originally, this was supposed to be a rare reunion between Ash and those children, but we interrupted it all at the critical moment—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we were the culprit that caused all this trouble!"

Clear tears dripped down the brown-haired girl's face.

"We are the ones who caused all this. We are the ones who wronged you. If you want justice from us..."

"Alright, alright." Ash, somewhat annoyed by the girl's self-blaming voice, waved his hands repeatedly and took out a handkerchief. "I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be just this."

"Huh?" The two girls, whose tears had been wiped away, asked in confusion.

This... thing? But, but this is your own fault! You were the one who did this when you were split in two—

"Pretty Cure isn't a god after all. She can't possibly do everything, right?" Ash patted the young heroine's shoulder and patiently explained. "Well, there's nothing we can do about this."

In the almost endless journey of the past, there have been many similar things, whether intentional or unintentional, whether malicious or misunderstanding. If Ash has not learned to be more open-minded and accept these as part of his journey, then he can forget about becoming friends with other heroes.

"But, you could have agreed to this with them!" As Ash expected, they became even more excited. "How could we possibly accept this—"

"I'm used to parting." Ash's lighthearted words silenced them. "So, you should get used to it too."

"Mr. Ash——"

Except for the three people who were chatting, the other thirty-two Pretty Cure girls were working together to grab several tentacles of the assassin's material monster, pulling and fixing the struggling opponent in place.

"Even if you're used to it, please don't cheat in front of us!"

"What are you talking about? This isn't cheating!"

Besides, we haven’t confirmed our relationship yet, you guys are trying to take advantage of the situation!

As Ash was shouting back, two Pretty Cures in black and white walked past him, one on the left and one on the right, heading towards the giant monster.

"Ash." The purple-haired girl suddenly turned around and called out his name. "Now I understand why Mana and Lei never gave up and wanted to save you."

"Eh?"

"And it's not just them, it's us too."

The two Precures, who cooperated perfectly with each other, spun and leaped, and came under the physical body of the assassin who was fixed by everyone, and stretched out their hands.

"All the Pretty Cure!"

The two men roared angrily, turned around and gathered their strength, and swung their fists, burning with spiritual light, upwards along with the sudden spinning and explosive impact!

"I will definitely reach out and save you!!!"

Two Pretty Cure girls, both delivering double uppercuts without any frills.

The result was a theatrical monster that screamed and flew out of the stratosphere.

Ash now understood again why they were called the first and "strongest" Pretty Cure.

But....Will Pretty Cure save me?

What great things you said, every one of you.

“▇▇▇▇——!”

Tearing and screaming, the assassin's substance, which no longer had its original form, was changing madly and chaotically. After going completely berserk, it uncontrollably absorbed negative emotions from the entire world to fill its own monster. In front of the girls, it began to grow wildly bigger and taller, and soon it was so huge that it surpassed the skyscraper next to it.

"Eh ...

"Perhaps it was affected by the dark echoes within me and went berserk."

"Are you some kind of humanoid self-propelled difficulty increasing mechanism? Hey!"

"Ash-san—here here!"

A sudden call from behind made Ash turn his head. He frowned and looked at the pink-haired woman who was standing on a branch of the Heart Tree and waving at him with a smile.

"you--"

"Yeah!" Yaxiu nodded repeatedly in response to the man's accusation.

Under the nervous gaze of the girls nearby, the serious Ash said the next word.

"Who?"

Who are you? Why do you look a bit like someone...someone of mine?

Chapter 108: Yaxiu's Farewell

"------!"

The huge monsters were constantly growing in size and height, and were rapidly becoming so large that one had to look up to them and was considering whether it would be better to let Ultraman handle the matter.

However, none of the girls under the feet of the wildly roaring monster were interested in its enlargement. In fact, everyone had already seen and felt tired of similar scenes, and their attention was now focused on "Ash" who had intruded again.

"Who?"

"Huh——?" The pink-haired girl, also known as Yasu, let out a rather unexpected and drawn-out sound of surprise.

I was born from you, do you want to say that I know nothing?

Are you trying to say that you don't recognize those "Ashes" who are also from your "past" in different worlds?

Are you kidding me? This is a story that started with you, and you're the core of it! And you, the protagonist, are telling me you know nothing?

I do not believe.

"Have you forgotten?" The pink-haired girl, sitting on a thick branch, swung her feet freely, raising her hand to blow a kiss to Ash from a distance. "Think carefully about the unforgettable times we spent together~"

"Could it be?" Lei, with a shattered expression, shifted her gaze from Ash to Ash, realizing for the first time how much similarity there was between them. She asked with a trembling voice. "Really, an ex-girlfriend...?"

Otherwise, why would you say such ambiguous words? Are you looking for trouble?!

"So—"

The man raised his hand to soothe the restless girls and asked them to stay calm. He didn't try to be cool for long before his temples started to hurt again. He poked his forehead and asked with confusion in his eyes.

"who are you?"

Although in order to protect my soul, the system will regularly erase the dark echoes along with some of my memories when I die.

Although this person is inextricably linked to me both in appearance and in character, it makes me instinctively start to hate her.

But even so, I am convinced that

As far as I can remember, this is indeed the first time I have seen her.

"What? Are you playing dumb with me, dear? You're only annoying me." Ash, seemingly genuinely angry at what she said, raised her hand and tossed her hair back, which turned out to be a little endearing. "Even after saying such shameless things before, you're still so concerned about what they think and have to distance yourself from me... Hmm?"

Looking directly into those eyes that did not contain any lies, Yashu could only accept the facts.

"Could it be that... you are actually telling the truth."

“▇▇——!!”

The assassin substance behind it has multiplied and transformed into a hideous beast that doesn't quite fit in with the style of Precure. The monster roared horribly again, but no one even turned back to look at it, which was already so ugly.

The huge angry monster rushed forward, then crashed into the defensive barrier on the surface of the Heart Tree Floating Island, and continued to fall down with a roar.

"If that's the case..." A raised index finger pressed against the thoughtful girl's chin, and even her dangling feet stopped swaying like leaves. "System-kun is really being too harsh on you... That's not right."

Wait.

Ash's originally helpless expression turned serious the moment he heard a certain word, and a ferocious aura like fighting spirit continued to emerge from behind him.

"Ash?" Mana and the others didn't understand what had happened, so they looked at the man with a little worry.

"No, maybe not excessively." The girl, having understood and agreed with the conclusion, nodded repeatedly. "It should be said that 'He's protected you too well.'"

“He really loves you.”

Why, why does this woman know the existence of the system!

It’s obvious that even they haven’t seen it…Those who have seen it probably don’t know the correct name!

The man's slightly bent back had entered a state of extreme tension, and his prepared body was ready to turn into a cannonball and hit Yaxiu at any time.

"What on earth are you——"

"Ah - it's yours!" Siflei, who was originally sleeping in Lei's arms, woke up while rubbing her eyes, probably because the surroundings were too noisy. However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the culprit who made her "faint", so she immediately shrank her neck and hid in the girl's palm again.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Why, why are you here too, Coco!"

The elves who were brutally "ravaged" by the hands that loved cute animals woke up one after another. What they had in common was that they all showed expressions of fear when they saw the girl, which confirmed her identity.

"It's you! You stole something important from us!"

"Hmm~ Yashu stole something important~!" The girl, unconcerned with the elf's accusations, was actually quite amused by a certain joke. "Also, rather than stealing, I stole those things. Thank you~"

"You, you still have the nerve to say that!"

"That's why I'm coming here now~" Pointing at the monster behind them that failed to hit the wall and was falling towards the city below, a card with a stripe code on the edge flew towards Ash as he flicked his wrist.

"As a return gift, this is what you need now, right?"

"brush--!"

Ash raised his hand to catch the card and held it between his fingers. He watched the content on the front of the card change from blurry to clear, and his already frown tightened even more.

Isn't this a "Knight Card"? Why are you—

"This thing fell from some scoundrel who was trying to attack me!" the girl, her hands shaped like microphones, shouted at him. "Of course you know how to use it!"

"Hey!"

"That's it, goodbye." Ash, who always leaves in style, was stood up by the girl in the tree this time. "Ciao~"

I hope that next time we meet, your eyes will still be as innocent and handsome as before.

"Hey!"

The pink-haired girl's back had already disappeared without a trace of reluctance.

"Ash, do you know her?"

"I don't know him." Ash, who had clenched his fists, took a deep breath after hearing Miyuki's voice. "But."

Even though it's unfounded, just like Stand users are attracted to each other, we will definitely meet again.

I have such a hunch.

"Well... she said some nasty things to us and did some terrible things." Miyuki, her fist pressed against her forehead, thought hard and nodded. "But, I surprisingly feel like she's not a bad person... What's going on?"

"Illusion." He bent his fingers and pointed his head at the girl's forehead, making a "Ah!" sound. He then turned around and took the card with the content on it into his hand.

"Yeah, I think I understand."

The man turned around to face them and asked a question that the girls couldn't understand.

"Does anyone use card items for their transformation device?"

Chapter 109 It will be a little itchy~

"Eh?"

The Pretty Cure girls didn't quite understand why Ash asked such a question at this critical moment.

Does this have anything to do with the current situation?

"I say, who among you uses cards?"

This is a big deal. After all, I have the cards but I don’t have the driver, so I can’t put together a pair.

Although I, as the "Universal Adaptor," can use any card-capable item, I can also use this card to its full potential. However, I don't have a Gai or a Juggler nearby to borrow their rings. I also lost my usual Leonics Fighting Device when I released them, so I'm asking you for help now that I'm out of stock.

"You know Ash, we use heart ornaments."
