Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Just before Yuko was about to use some skill with her spinning honey wand, Ash, who was rapidly closing the distance, had already stabbed out his knife and pointed it at the girl's throat.

After constantly challenging Pretty Cure from all over the world, he has come to understand a lot about the characteristics of Precure Special Attack. Such a first raid is always very useful for these girls who lack a sense of crisis.

"Well, if the first step of the plan fails, then everything after that will be completely useless..."

The failed girl pouted and didn't look very happy.

"Humph, every failure is a lesson learned. Just remember this."

Compared to the girl's distress, Ash seemed very excited.

After all, this is where the real intensity starts. How are you going to fight me next?

Then comes the start of the close combat, which is my favorite part! So no matter what unique skills you have, I will peel off your shell to see your true self!

So bring it on! No matter what it is, Ash is here, waiting for you without flinching or dodging!

"Um..."

Looking at the man's hand stabbing in front of her like a knife, the girl let go of her hand with a helpless look on her face and let the Triple Honey Wand fall to the ground with a dull sound. She raised her hands high in Ash's confused eyes.

"Well, I lost."

"?"

Isn’t this just the beginning?

"Is this some kind of fake surrender trick? Your acting is good, but it's still too hard to fool me—"

"No, I've said it before, I'm not the kind of kid who would lie!"

Perhaps the pair of emerald green compound eyes of the dark knight in front of her were too targeted, the embarrassed girl raised her hands high and smiled apologetically at him and repeated.

"Indeed, I lost."

"I surrender."

"Wait."

Yaxufang also withdrew his hand and began to argue with her.

"That was just a little over the top. I've figured it all out after fighting so many Pretty Cure!"

"Even if you're not going the elite route and are using a general mass-produced transformation system, your defense is still the most outstanding indicator!"

Ash, who was theorizing, began to anxiously explain things to her in a tone of "I understand Guangmei better than Guangmei does."

"That was a direct hit just now, and even with the subsequent fighting derivatives, it won't cause much actual damage to you. At most, it will just make you a little angry, but it's not fatal at all! To be honest, you won't even lose your combat effectiveness!"

"You should have reacted immediately and engaged me in close combat, using all your strength to defeat me! You—"

How could you surrender just because you were touched? Even the French and American soldiers didn't surrender as quickly as you did. You are unreasonable and have no martial ethics, young man!

"Well... I want that too." The girl, who had been bowing and apologizing to Ash repeatedly, finally spoke with great difficulty. "But... I can't fight anymore."

Mr. Ash understands Guangmei so well... I always feel so shy!

"Can't fight? If you lie, I'll be really angry, Ash!"

Don't lie to me! Clearly, from the intel I've gathered, Cure Honey has a track record of defeating evil beasts and inspiring greatness. You've even been seen frequently in other countries! Your popularity is actually quite high, far more formidable than that unbeatable Princess Angel! You say you can't fight? You're kidding!

"Hmm... I don't know how to fight, that's not quite right." After a moment of silence, the girl, with a lightbulb on her forehead, came to her senses and explained. "To be more precise, I don't know how to fight anymore!"

"?"

The pitch-black Kamen Rider Decade tilted his head in complete confusion.

The girl, with her head lowered under the knight's oppressive gaze, snapped her fingers awkwardly.

"I hate violence."

So I can use my exclusive weapon, the "Triple Honey Wand", to use the power of life and holiness to heal my friends and purify my enemies, but I can do it with my fists.

Thinking of her good friend Hui transforming into a "cute angel" and grabbing a bad villain in one hand and doing a "Brokeback" fight, the girl shook her head with a chill.

"So I won't fight like this anymore."

Chapter 37: Ash’s shortcomings?

Is there any Pretty Cure in the world who can't fight?

What you said is as ridiculous as saying that a certain Kamen Rider has never been defeated once.

When Ash first arrived in the world of Pretty Cure and met Mana, Rikka and the others, he had already noticed it clearly.

Although they are very similar to the "magical girls" on the market, including the fully-featured movie version, none of the Precure that Ash has encountered so far actually use magic to fight. The sacred ultimate move that purifies evil is not so much magic as it is a torrent of light with extremely high purity. To be more straightforward, it is the human version of the "Spaiam Ray".

But what's more important is the girls that Ash has seen, no matter if they are from the powerful group or the weak side, they are all warriors who can use their strength to dispel evil and are truly the ones who have the final say when it comes to her, so she can have a common language with them.

The Precures, who are never weak in their fists and kicks, are actually far from the stereotype of "magical girls" waving magic wands, using spells and magic to disperse enemies, and then being defeated by tentacles.

So even Ash had never thought that there would be times when this would not be applicable.

"You can't, or you don't want to?"

"As for the reasons, I have them all."

When Yuko stared at him with those completely innocent big watery eyes, Ash was speechless for a moment because of the complicated emotions in his heart.

After all, we're all fighting for peace on Earth. There's no saying that anyone who doesn't fight isn't a Pretty Cure, right? And there's no saying that one is nobler than the other...

Although this is true, after traveling through four light-beauty related worlds in a row, Ash still feels uncomfortable all over his body, as if he is scratching an itch through a shoe!

It feels like - everyone else is great, but there's always something missing here!

How can Pretty Cure be without boxing? Just like Kamen Rider can't be without flying kicks, and Jerusalem can't be without Tifa!

"Then....what's your use?"

“I can sing and dance now~”

Yuko lifted her skirt to reveal her safety pants and happily danced around in front of Ash.

"The crew of the college idol drama is next door."

"That's not what I meant." Yuko then began to explain herself to him. "I can guide the people of the Phantom Empire through dancing to consume their physical strength, and I can also heal others' injuries by singing to restore their vitality. I even wrote a song myself - hmm."

The girl, somewhat unwillingly interrupted by Ash's "Don't say anything yet," continued to explain. "Of course, I can also use divine power to cleanse the darkness of the Phantom Empire. What's the problem with that?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ash finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the explanation. "So it's actually a support."

It turns out that she was the nanny. No wonder she died on the spot after cutting off the back row for me.

"Could it be that the Pretty Cure in Mr. Ash's mind is supposed to be an ultimate warrior with full power, capable of forcing any enemy to submission?"

The girl seemed to vaguely sense the strange image of Pretty Cure in the other person's mind.

Precure is obviously a girl after all, so it's a bit too much to say that.

"Yes."

Without even a second's hesitation, Ash nodded affirmatively.

After all, the Pretty Cure girls I knew before who changed my mind were all like this.

"But, so this is what the Pretty Cure girls of Hikari-no-Oka are like."

After listing all the Pretty Cures that existed here, Ash counted them one by one as if they were arranged in order.

"The 'Cute Angel', who has great potential and excels in combat, the 'Angel of Destiny', who carries the pain of her loved ones' past and avoids approaching others, and the 'Princess Angel', who, besides being embarrassed, deserves praise for her refusal to give up."

"Also, the usually gentle yellow role...isn't this time a support role instead of the usual shield role? What a unique combination."

It is precisely this "similar" combination of four people in every sense that reminds me of "them" and makes me limit my vision to this small area when the whole earth is full of Pretty Cure.

There's also the equally similar villainous organization, the "Phantom Empire." So, is the last world I've arrived in such a familiar one? Then I'll have to carefully consider the "arrangements" for this world based on past experience.

"Mr. Ash?" Yuko warned, looking at the man in front of her who had begun to ponder alone. Her brows, which had been relaxed, suddenly furrowed. "Were you comparing us to others just now?"

This person...could it be that he has had some in-depth communication with other Precures, which is why he is like this?

Yuko Omori, who had not shown any displeasure at being inexplicably dragged out for a fight, now showed her "dissatisfaction" towards Ash very blatantly for the first time.

"Mr. Ash, comparing the person in front of you so directly with other people you know can really make people feel very annoyed."

It's not just mine, but also Hui and Xiaoji?

After all, no matter whether they are boys or girls, they would never like to be regarded as a "stand-in" in the eyes of others.

"Well, what did you say?"

"Ah..." Seeing Ash coming back to his senses after just finishing his thoughts, Yuko sighed sadly, not knowing if he had heard her or not. "Yuko has been here the whole time, so no one else has anything."

Mr. Ash is awesome, smart, confident and overly self-aware.

You probably didn't do it on purpose...but if you don't wake up to this, you might suffer a great loss later.

"Well...now about the battle."

"This isn't even combat." Having untied his belt to release his transformation, Ash swirled the postcard in his hand, letting it fly right into the girl's raised fingers. "Come here on a non-school day, and I'll teach you what real combat is."

"Can I... not come?"

"sure."

After all, this is your planet, your world, and you need to protect it.

This time I am not playing the role of your babysitter, so you have to decide this matter yourself.

"Then—" The girl, who had emerged from the dissipated light and transformed back into Omori Yuko, put away her business card and bowed solemnly to Ash. "From now on, I'll be grateful for your guidance."

"I'm not the man to disappoint you."

With his back to the girl, Ash looked at the black repainted version of the "Decade Driver" in his hand, and couldn't help but recall the night when he took it away from the girl a few days ago.

Chapter 38: The Phantom Queen Wants to Watch Ash's Live Broadcast

"Um..."

As his hand lifted up, he looked directly at the sun above his head. The driver that was blocking his way was illuminated by the sunlight, its beautiful black paint. Looking at the black repainted version of the "deacde driver" in his hand, even Ash let out a satisfied sigh.

“Isn’t this quite useful?”

I've already disassembled the internal mechanism, and there aren't any traps or anything like that... Why would that guy say that? Was it just to make me suspicious?

Or is it to make me waver?

"While it's certainly suspicious...but now that we've acquired this power, we should utilize it. There's no reason to hesitate, right?"

Ash recalled the story that happened not long ago when he first got this thing.

That happened after my first encounter with the Angel of Destiny.

------

That happened right after Ash defeated the attacking phantom.

"Your name is Narutaki, right?"

When Ming Long rescued his trusted subordinate from the critical moment, the Phantom Queen, who had been wary and suspicious of this person, finally let down her guard.

"The Phantom Empire expresses its gratitude for your actions." The Phantom Queen, her nails manicured, cast a scrutinizing gaze over the mysterious man who bowed to her. "Tell me what reward you desire, and I will not be stingy."

"No need to say more, my beautiful queen." Taking off his hat and acting like a gentleman, Ming Long naturally flattered her. "As an enemy of Decade, I'm just doing what I can."

If you helped me but don't want a reward...are you doing this to make me owe you a favor? The queen's expression remained unchanged as she thought of this, but she narrowed her eyes and carefully observed the smile on the face of the man who was talking to her.

"Everything is to save this world from Decade!"

"Oh~" Hearing his righteous words, the Phantom Queen asked curiously. "Even though our Phantom Empire is also an evil organization that wants to drag this world into the abyss of 'worst', is it okay to help someone like us?"

"No, we need to defeat the real devil! We should borrow anyone's power!"

The Phantom Queen, who was very sensitive to negative emotional changes, could feel from his heart that his disgust and hatred for Decade were indeed genuine.

Just like her hatred towards "that man" and her disgust towards "Ash".

"Even my Phantom Empire?"
