Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

I thought if it was the last one, Ash would definitely throw everything out without regard for the rules and make a scene...

As a result, did it have a counter-productive effect?

------

The other girls had no objection to Hui's decision to help Ash. Rather, they completely agreed with it. However, in this case, the responsibility of defeating the monster would indeed fall on the shoulders of these girls.

"They say this is better... But Kei, do you have a solution?"

"Well... Anyway, as long as the four of us work together, there will always be a way!"

In the past, when Hime-chan and I were fighting together, we were able to defeat stronger evil beasts. Now, with the four of us Pretty Cures working together, there's no reason why we can't defeat that monster!

"We're working together..."

Although she could understand this logic, Yuko's eyes unconsciously drifted to the faces of Xiaoji who was unable to bear the panic and Iona who looked calm.

Even though the correct answer is right in front of you, it is not so easy to actually do it.

Chapter 64: Misfortune Determined from the Beginning

"Remember, Gomora's weaknesses are the horn on his head and the tail on his back!"

Before leaving, Ash even gave them some official strategies. However, looking at how hard the four of them were struggling to maintain their performance, it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage even if they knew their weaknesses.

"The weak point...isn't so easy to access! Lovely Heart Restriction!"

She turned the Light of Love bracelet on her hand, and many pink love-light balls rushed towards Gomora from all around, squeezing it in the middle, as if they wanted to restrain it and launch the next attack. However, before they could make the next move, the rampaging monster tore apart all the love balls that blocked the way like tearing paper.

"Then come and see mine! Princess Cutter!"

The girl, shaking her head and tossing her blue twintails, unleashed two crescent-shaped blades of light from her hair, whirling towards the monster. While they looked like ice axes, the power difference was vastly different. Just as the blades, coming from both sides, were about to slice off the monster's horns, Gomora simply shoved them into his mouth, chewing them and swallowing them with a "crunch, crunch" sound.

"No, it's really useless!"

Because of the huge difference in size, the skills that usually work on evil beasts don't have much effect on Gomora.

Fortunately, due to the size difference, Gomora couldn't easily hit them with either his powerful claws or tail swing attacks, and the battle turned into a tug-of-war over who would show a flaw first.

"This is really difficult..." Unlike the Phantom Empire's usual use of bizarre abilities, Yuuko, facing Gomora with a simple, numerical beauty, had already grasped this difference. "If this continues, we'll eventually run out of energy and be unable to stop it any further. Isn't there a more effective method?"

"As for methods, there are," Iona, the most experienced of the four, said, staring intently at the monster. "We're all just throwing our moves at each other all at once, nothing else."

Of course, Iona herself, who raised this question, was one of the two people who caused the problem.

"This... this is also, there is nothing we can do about it."

Snow White, the other person who caused the problem, knew she was in the wrong, and always behaved timidly in front of her, not daring to get close to her or look her in the eye.

"Then, there is only one way now."

"One person will attract the monster's attention, and the others will focus on attacking its weak points!"

Of course, the person who attracts the monster's attention will be in the most dangerous environment... Having said that, the girl already has a target in mind.

Yuuko isn't weak, but her athletic ability is poor, so it's too dangerous for her to handle this improvisation. And since the princess is a coward who runs away, we can't count on her, so most likely it's just me or Kei...

"Iona!" Kei, who was thinking the same thing as her, didn't bother with polite words in this emergency. She raised her hand and spoke without hesitation. "Let me go!"

Since we have already agreed to protect this world for him to see, then give me a chance and let him witness it!

----

"Hmm~"

Looking at Hui's performance, which could even be described as "excessively" brave, Ash, who was sitting on the bench, nodded more than once and hummed with satisfaction.

"Even though she's called Cute, she's actually Brave Daze. She's getting better and better... She's definitely my favorite Pretty Cure."

"[If that's the case.]" The system, which understood Ash best, could naturally see that his previous actions, intentionally or not, seemed to be deliberately alienating Hui Qingre. "[Why are you deliberately alienating her?]"

He didn't believe that Ash, who had been "trained" by his predecessors, would not notice that Ainoe was becoming more and more "concerned" about him?

"Didn't you say that this time you wanted the hero to defeat the villain like me as the finale?"

"[yes.]"

To ensure that the world's dark reverberations would ultimately focus on Ash, thereby luring out those suspected "unfilial sons" who had absconded with the funds, He had specifically instructed Ash and devised this outcome, based on past experience, which seemed to be the safest outcome. But how did this tie in with what he'd said... huh?

"[You don't mean to.]"

The system understood Ash's thoughts.

"That's right, that's what I meant."

As a fellow Pink Pretty Cure, I see many shadows of her. In addition, her competitive spirit makes me very optimistic about her, so if I have to actively choose an opponent in the end, I will choose her.

That's why I don't want to see the "painful" expression of the person I care about when they lose someone. I don't want to see it again... In that case, it would be better to keep a distance from the beginning and not develop a relationship, right?

"[you....]"

If you act like this...how can you expect them to help you and let you feel the "happiness" that this world brings to you?

For some reason, the system now really wants to persuade Ash.

"[Ash.]"

“Sometimes, a quick and sure solution isn’t always a smart one…”

It's hard to imagine that when we first met, I just wanted to use him as a consumable prop, but now I have become a person who can make serious suggestions?

Is he really the first one's...friend as he said?

"It doesn't matter if it's not right, right? You already said this is the last time. It doesn't matter if I let Hu Lai do it for the last time, right?"

After hearing Ash's words, even the system panel froze for a moment. Even He had never expected that the pit he had dug in the past would bury him here.

"When necessary, I'll play the villain, and they can continue to be the heroes, right?"

"[Ash...]"

The system panel began to shake inexplicably for a moment due to the strange lines that Ash was completely unaware of.

Although this reason is understandable, is it really okay to do this when facing someone who may "like" you?

It's clearly a fully grown character approaching the final, most crucial moment...

Why did it fall back to the "chaos" it was at the beginning?

Do you really think so? Or...

It’s the same as before. In order to deceive them, do I have to deceive myself first?

Chapter 65 Snow White, Courage Ignites

"I think I should come..."

"No!" The even more agitated Kei retorted unwillingly to Iona's hesitation in wanting to take all the danger on herself. "Just let me do it. I won't be afraid. No! Rather!"

After all, for Hui, this was all decided from the beginning. In order to reassure him, we must let Mr. Ash see our strength here and change his impression of me!

If this is the decision—

“I feel like it should work!”

"I have confidence. Let me go! No, it's absolutely necessary that I go!"

"If you say so."

"Mei..." The worried voice brought Hui, whose blood was boiling with inexplicable excitement, back to her senses. Turning around, she saw Hime's worried expression. "Such a dangerous operation, do you really think so?"

It's just like when you first met. It was obviously the first time you fought against a terrible enemy, but as long as it was for someone... the burst of power would be so strong!

"Yeah! Don't worry, little Ji, I feel great now! Just like before!"

But don’t you realize that when you burst out with such power and are immersed in the whole thing with full confidence, this matter is also equally dangerous for you!

“…”

What's more, you are my most important friend! But I...

"Alright, then, just like before, with Hime-chan backing me up, I'll open the way—"

Hui is my friend and a good person who can accept and guide me. I don’t want to hurt the excited Hui because of this. It’s that simple.

"—!"

When the blue figure flew past her with a trailing afterimage behind it, the girl's confident expression froze on her face.

The willful and timid Cure Princess who always followed behind him, this time left him behind and rushed towards Gomora who was roaring at this side?

"Hime-chan...?!"

Looking at Snow White passing by her and then attacking the big monster with all her strength, after a whole second on Earth... maybe two seconds or even more, in short, it was a period of astonishment and daze that lasted a long time even for a Pretty Cure, Megumi, who didn't know what she was thinking of, ran towards her friend with a look of fear as if she had a nightmare, and then was hurriedly grabbed by Yuko from behind.

"Let me go, Yuko! Hime-chan is... Hime-chan! Why Hime-chan?!"

In Hui's mind, Snow White is always soft, petite, and sweet. Though willful, she'll always offer a sincere apology for her kindness. She's a cheerful friend who always brings joy to those around her, but she becomes weak and powerless when it comes to fighting.

Obviously, Hime-chan is still very weak, so I, who am stronger, should go! If anything goes wrong when Hime-chan goes, I—

"No, Kei! It's not what you think!"

Yuuko, able to read her friend's panicked expression, shook her head sternly. "I'm worried about her just as much as you are, but Hime-chan is different now!"

As someone who witnessed the entire "Metamorphosis" plan of Ash, Yuko Omori certainly knew how much effort it took for Hime to achieve the change, and compared to the past, it took a lot of courage for Hime to take this step.

That's why Yuko stopped Hui who was about to go up and ruin the plan. If you help her now, she might never change and keep blaming herself for her past mistakes!

"Now she wants to prove her courage to you, me, and Ash...most importantly, to herself!"

"So Megumi, trust Hime-chan!"

Believe that there is no need for a reason!

"Princess Dangan Machine Gun!"

The Saiyan prince's famous trick was used to the extreme at this moment. The light bullets that kept flying out from the girl's hands that were spinning in a circle exploded on Gomora with the effect of a single barrage of suppression. Those who didn't know would have thought that it was a defense team's plane flying over to give the monster a full body scraping.

"Roar?"

Gomora, whose whole body was tingling, suddenly became furious. He looked around eagerly, trying to find the bold person who dared to attack him, until he saw the tiny and arrogant "ant" patting his butt and making faces at him at his feet.

"What kind of monster is this? It's just a bigger guy!"

Although he had no idea what the little ant was saying, the provocation and teasing in the girl's words still reached Gomora's ears without a doubt. The hot, red breath that kept coming out of the monster's nostrils was a symbol of anger.

"I've seen guys stronger than you before, and I managed to escape! How can a big, dumb guy like you catch me?!"

"Come on? Or can't you even catch a princess who's always being kidnapped in fairy tales, you coward!"

"——Boom!" The super vibration wave that was condensed and emitted from the top of the head was stronger and thicker than any previous one. It was Gomora's response. The red light stream that was usually used for digging holes easily burned the ground under the girl's feet into a straight line of melted chasm. On this piece of glassy land, the girl, her forehead already covered with sweat, was hanging in the air in a jumping posture. Even the smell of the burnt soles of her shoes could be clearly smelled.

The enemy in front of her was a terrifying existence that could easily scare her to death. Besides the extremely timid fear, her whole body was trembling with excitement at being able to show it to her companions.

The girl opened her lips and tongue. Normally, she would be screaming and running away desperately.

"Come and chase me, you stupid monster!"

She did run, but not to escape.

“…”

The plan was indeed successful, it was even more successful than Iona, the initiator, had expected. The little Gomora completely ignored them and their attention was now firmly attracted by the jumping princess angel. They were led by her to a distant open space where they could perform more easily, and followed her further and further away without any hesitation.

As a price to pay, all the rage of this suspected berserk 'Monster Prince' was concentrated on one person, so Snow White had to run for her life, run faster than ever before, and run faster than anyone else!

Chapter 66: Changing Personality, Changing Attitude

"Oh, I see!"

Ash, who was watching the fight, couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud. There was no sarcasm in the crackling applause, but it was all about admiration for the girl.

"Because it's so dangerous, the person who's best at escaping should be in charge?"
