Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Chapter 3: Is there a parallel world for Ash?

When the three Lupinrangers completely disappeared in their final farewell, Ash finally understood what extraordinary events had happened while he was staying in Pretty Cure's new world without his knowledge.

Ash... Another Ash, another one very similar to me, maybe even me?!

Even if they were to attack like they did that year, and knock down all the Super Sentai teams to seize their power... Is they trying to repeat the "Legendary War"?!

"You're kidding!" Ash instinctively called out the system. "System, send me over there quickly. Let me see for myself what's going on!"

If it really is me, then let me be my opponent!

"[No, Ash.]" the screen displayed words one by one, trying to calm Ash down. "[You know, we who are collecting dark echoes cannot return to our previous worlds. If we trigger a backflow, our efforts might be ruined.]"

Of course, the Dark Echo had actually been taken away by a few "unfilial sons" who ran away with the money or something... The system still couldn't explain it.

"I know! Because I know—"

Even if he knew, Ash couldn't think calmly in the face of such facts. His anger made him punch the concrete wall beside him.

What the hell is going on... a doppelganger, a clone? Or some strange replica? If it's only this level, how can we possibly defeat them?

Pulling his fist out from the dripping debris, Ash brought up one possibility after another and then rejected them himself.

"System, do you know anything?" Looking at the series of ellipsis marks displayed on the panel beside him, Ash sighed unsurprisingly. "I guess so. If I don't know, then you don't know either."

Well, that was the only possibility Ash could think of.

"Could it be that my parallel world entity is responsible?"

Speaking of the same entity in different parallel worlds, Ash, having experienced so many worlds, has naturally seen many similar people and situations. For example, there are two versions of a mother-loving person: a particularly perverted version and a less perverted version, and the difference between a clerk who is still in exile and the Ultraman brothers who even have sons.

There are people with the same personality and life experience, but some tiny differences can create two completely different "identical" individuals. This is also a fact that Ash learned from his own experience.

If that's the case, I have it too...

"Tsk, although it's very unpleasant." Thinking of how some people were using his name and face to do things that were "same" as him, yet completely different, even in what he called a "parallel community," Ash's anger grew, and his dissatisfaction multiplied. "But, it's only possible to be parallel individuals, right?"

No, it’s more like they are too similar, which makes them more disgusting!

"No, that's not right." Just as Ash confidently came to his conclusion, the system slowly but surely delivered a crucial new message. "There are no parallels of you in the multiverse. You are the only one."

"what?"

When Ash saw the important news suddenly thrown out by the system, he was also stunned.

"Wait, even though I'm a pretty amazing guy... that doesn't have anything to do with the different parallel universes, right? I'm not the only characteristic of the multiverse like Wang Xiaoming."

"[No, now—]" It seemed as if the system had thought of something while recalling the past, and even the letters it typed paused visibly. "[As for you now, Ash, there is indeed no possibility of a parallel existence.]"

The system then provided an impeccable answer through a series of formulas. "[Think about the many worlds you've been to, whether it's Knights, Sentai, or Ultraman, have you ever seen anyone like you?"

"[If there really are parallels to you, then have they also experienced this? Have they also experienced the countless dark echoes collected like you? What is that, a multiverse within a multiverse?"

Ash... Those "clones" carrying your memories from different worlds are my arbitrary decision. You only need to be free and happy to do whatever you want. You don't need to bear this unnecessary worry.

"If you say that—tsk!" Ash, who was not suspicious of the system, was really confused. "What on earth is that—"

"That's so ugly, Ash~ Ahem!" A voice from someone sitting against the wall distracted him. Haidong Dashu, who was sitting there, was mocking him. "You were supposed to be at the center of this, but you knew nothing about it~ So, you usually like to scheme against others, but now you're being schemed against without anyone noticing, doesn't that feel good?"

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb." Ash, suppressing the urge to give this guy another beating, lifted him up and put him against the wall. "So you understand a lot?"

"Of course, because there is a you in the Knight's World who is doing the same thing."

"Tsk..." Ash said softly, "Where's that guy Shi? Isn't he with you?"

Doesn't he care about something like this?

"Don't make me sound like I'm his lackey!" Haidong, equally unhappy, gave a lighthearted response after his rant. "It's nothing, he just died."

"Dead...? He was stabbed to death by a woman again?"

Why can't I believe it? Considering his past, even if he's truly dead, is he secretly using someone else's memories to play a resurrection match?

"It was Oma Zi-O who did it. He beat him to death beside the pond."

Who could have imagined that the journey of the world destroyer would end so abruptly?

"Really?" Surprisingly, Ash was not surprised by this answer.

I let go of Haidong's hand, and seeing the surprised look on his face as if he had let me go, Ash sighed and looked at him again.

"So, what about everyone at Guangxia Photo Studio?"

"Who knows? When disaster strikes, everyone flees, some walk away, some die. How would I know where they went?" Though he said it lightly, Ash could still hear a hint of melancholy in his voice. "They talked about traveling, but in the end, everyone just mercilessly went their separate ways."

"That's it."

A feeling that everything and everyone has changed enveloped Ash from the past.

But now Ash is no longer hindered by these troubles, not to mention knowing that "you won't invite me to the movie?" How could he possibly stop?

"So!" Ash hit the thief's shoulder with the "water gun" he had taken from him, staring at him fiercely. "Now, give me back my things!"

"You're still holding my treasure! I won't—"

"If you don't return it~" Ash said, pulling out the long, wet black seafood while Haidong looked at him in horror. "I'll cook you a fresh and delicious sea cucumber myself."

"..." After a moment of silence, Haidong, who had raised his hands in surrender, pulled something out from behind his back. "They're all treasures. How about we exchange them for equal value?"

"Ha~ What you have is nothing compared to my collection?" Ash boasted proudly, his nose almost up in the air. "How can anything compare to mine!"

"Don't worry, you'll like this."

When the black and white card box engraved with a magenta stripe code was handed to Ash, his expression finally changed slightly.

Chapter 4: Unbelievable Pretty Cure

"There's a strange noise over here... wooooooo ...

As the blue-haired girl, hunched over carefully, followed the strange sound and gradually came towards the alley, another violent vibration made her scream. The original fear and anxiety were more clearly revealed in the girl's shaking expression and trembling back.

The blue-haired girl, who is obviously not an ordinary person, is named: "Shimeruda Ondo, Angel of the Blue Sky..." Because it is too Mary Sue style and there is a suspicion of padding the words, she will be called "Snow White" here.

Snow White, the princess of a small country, was once a fashion-conscious and somewhat headstrong young lady. However, due to various circumstances, she became a legendary warrior, the Pretty Cure, and continued to fight against the "Phantom Empire" that was attempting to invade the world.

It was such a girl with a rather wonderful experience who came to this small town called "Hikari no Oka" and became friends with another new Pretty Cure "Ainoe". She originally thought that her luck had turned, but now she is screaming and wailing in her heart for her misfortune.

Why did something so strange happen when Hui was not around? ! !

"Really? Really?" Faced with the strange cries of "Thief! Hit! Thief! Damn!" from the depths of the alley, Xiaoji didn't dare take a single step forward, and could only cautiously communicate with the spirit "Ribbon" floating beside her. "Although I did hear strange noises... I'm alone. Shouldn't we wait for Hui to arrive before we all get together?"

"But Ainoe is currently communicating important information with Lord Blue and can't come over for the time being. What is the princess hesitating about?"

Seeing the timidity of the blue-haired girl he called "Princess," Ribbon emphasized with a look of dismay, "Those strange noises and energy reactions coming from here earlier are likely another evil plan of the Phantom Empire. We must stop them at all costs!"

What if you are one step late because of waiting?

"But, but!" Hearing this, the girl hesitated, her eyes becoming increasingly pitiful. "I'm just scared!!"

It keeps making this kind of noise. I wonder if it will eat me as soon as I pass by!

"Anyway, other Pretty Cure can fight too..."

I don’t want to be alone, don’t be like this!

"Princess!" The girl's pretentious attitude finally angered the elf, who angrily lectured her. "You are the Pretty Cure! You are the legendary warrior chosen to protect us all!"

Even though you can only run away, and despite being a senior from a long time ago, you had never defeated a single "evil beast" until you became teammates with the newbie "Ainoe"... But at least you can transform compared to ordinary people, right?

"Now that the other Precures are not here, are you going to sit back and watch this happen, bringing disaster to the town called Hikari no Oka?!"

"You are the only one who can do something now!"

"I know—I know!"

The girl felt extremely aggrieved and felt the weight on her shoulders growing heavier and heavier, with the elf's preaching filling her ears.

"I'll do it... I'll do it, that's all!"

Thinking back to her own shameful record, Xiao Ji, with red eyes, took the first step towards the alley with some self-destructive thoughts.

"There's a strange noise coming from this side... wooooooo!"

The sudden intrusion made Ash maintain his composure. He immediately looked towards the alley entrance vigilantly like a wild beast patrolling its territory. The girl who was originally standing at the alley entrance and moving towards this side cautiously immediately made a frightened sound.

When the visitor met the man's eyes that still contained anger, the first thing that caught Ash's eye was a blue-haired girl who was frightened when she saw him.

“You—you!”

Feeling the naked gaze of a wild beast staring at her without reservation, the blue-haired girl, who was completely timid, even lost her voice for a moment.

It's such a "scary" look...but why.

Why am I unable to take my eyes off him even though my legs are shaking with fear right now when I see him?

Anger, sadness...and some other emotions that I didn't understand, but I noticed them at that time...in that person's eyes.

Although I have extremely complicated emotions, I have begun to face the feeling of this heart.

That feeling made me afraid but unable to look away...

at this time.

now.

This is the girl named "Snow White", which is always engraved in the picture of her heart even in the years that followed - the "initial moment".

------

However, unlike Snow White who suddenly fell into "fantasy time" for unknown reasons, her timid expression and temporary "dementia" were collected by Ash without reservation as information.

"~" Ash, having slightly awakened his nose, could smell something from this brat that didn't even exist... Was this scent of light mixed with passion a Pretty Cure? Was this child the Precure of this world?

It doesn’t look like it...?

"Hmm!" Feeling the change in Ash's gaze, the girl was immediately snapped out of her previous inexplicable perception.

Wait, what am I doing?! Just one glance and I'm suddenly thinking about all sorts of random things. Am I being a bit of a fangirl? He's just a handsome guy, how could that be possible?

After instinctively storing that feeling in her heart, Xiao Ji realized that the eyes of the two adult men opposite her were on her and immediately became flustered with a blush of embarrassment. However, she finally remembered the instructions of the silk ribbon and became alert.

"You, you—"

Holding the "toy"-like mirror in her hand, the girl was so nervous about the increasingly dangerous gaze that she couldn't even bite her tongue.

"Who are you? You seem to be doing something weird!"

Yes, is he really from the Phantom Kingdom?!

"Unqualified."

He spoke out his evaluation lightly. No matter whose standards were used...even compared to the poor performances of those Precures when they first met, this girl was really unqualified.

and....

With a tentative mood, Ash made his eyes a little gloomier, and what he got was an increasingly fearful and timid expression from the blue-haired girl.

"What do you want to do? Don't come over here!"

Hearing the girl's screams of fear, which she couldn't bear at the level of a kindergarten principal, Ash's frown deepened.

This is, this world's Precure? Even by disappointing standards, it's truly disappointing.

Even someone as timid as Lei wouldn't be so weak.

The biggest problem is the feeling, it gives off a certain "cowardly" vibe.

It makes people...even more unhappy.

Chapter 5 Welcome to the World of Pretty Cure

As a test, Ash just did a simple action - he growled softly from his throat and stomped his foot hard in front of the girl.

"Meow!" Seeing Ash's sudden movement, Xiao Ji immediately jumped up from the ground with her back arched like a frightened kitten, and even the "toy mirror" in her hand fell to the ground.

Although I already know that Pretty Cure is just a girl, her attitude is different from what I think a hero should be like... otherwise, when I was in Miyuki and the others' world, I wouldn't have just implemented the prophecy and wanted them to give up.

But... Ash could see through it just by looking at it. This wasn't just about being unprepared. This was just like the typical naughty kid who stole a transformation item in a unit episode.
