Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Even now, Qiluo and the others who are worried about you must also be worried and want to find you."

"But what qualifications do I have?"

Even if Ash says it's not my fault, do I have to live with everyone in this body from now on? If so, how will everyone look at me? What will my parents and the school do?

"There's nothing wrong with that. Do you think if you just disappear, your friends will be able to forget about you and continue to live their carefree lives like a hypocrite?"

Considering what happened in the past, this makes what I have to say particularly convincing.

"Of course not! I never thought so, just!"

Saya's ridicule appeared in front of her like a devilish voice, and then echoed in her mind.

"You will never be able to become a flower princess again in your lifetime."

"Ash...what should I do?"

In the past, no matter the ridicule of her peers or the terror of monsters, she persevered and walked through it all, wanting to become the strong, gentle and beautiful princess in her mind.

Until the high wall called "reality" completely blocked all her paths, leaving her in complete confusion.

"After all, a monster can't possibly become a princess, right?"

How can you change reality just by thinking about it?

"Hey, you're a Pretty Cure, do you want me to teach you?" Ash said deliberately provocatively. "If your dream can't be realized, why not just give up?"

"Of course not!"

Seeing Haruka suddenly excited again, Ash felt that this was just what was meant to be!

"That's right, this is the princess I know! Even if she's a monster princess, she's still my princess!"

"Monster...Monster Princess?"

"Since there's a frog prince, why can't there be a monster princess? That's right!" At this point, Ash suddenly had an idea. "I have a suggestion. Do you remember how the frog prince's curse was lifted in fairy tales?"

"Eh...?!" Haruka, who had the same thought, flaunted the petals on her face as they began to turn white. "But, that's just a fairy tale!"

The witch turned the prince into a frog, and the curse can't be lifted unless someone is willing to kiss a frog... But now I'm such an ugly monster, and I want Ash to kiss me? This is like the Princess and the Beast... No, I'm the Beast now!

"This kind of thing is just a fairy tale!"

"Oh my? What's this Pretty Cure, more fantastic than a fairy tale, talking about?"

He embraced the "flower monster" in front of him without any hesitation, and felt the tension coming from the trembling branches, and Ash smiled softly.

"If you're scared."

Since the princess in the fairy tale can do it because of her love for the prince.

"I will give you the part of my heart that is not afraid."

How could I, Ash, not be able to do it since I have the same desire?

------

"Oh, Ash, Haruka! You're here!"

Yongjiu happily greeted the visitors when he saw them, while Qiluo, who also wanted to greet them, turned her attention to the hands holding each other.

"Ash..."

"Ok?"

"Can you hold this for a little longer?"

"of course."

Oh!

Qiluo, who inexplicably felt like drinking coffee, smiled like an aunt.

"Looks like something good happened."

Chapter 191: Memories bring not only chuunibyou, but also changes!

"It's bad."

Pinching his nose, Ash glanced at the fallen Kanata and Nan who was carried on his back, and sighed with a headache.

In fact, Ash always believed that the other party's escape must have been a bait deliberately thrown by the other party. It must be a trap set on the road in an attempt to launch a sneak attack on someone.

However, he didn't expect that these were actually "eye-catching tricks" set up by the other party, and the person the other party had been staring at was actually himself!

Because he was so confident in himself that he didn't think anyone would dare to "fly into the fire", so he never considered this possibility, and instead fell into the enemy's trap.

"I was too careless."

If Nan hadn't rushed out at the last moment, regardless of the risk, to grab me when I was about to be thrown into another world, it would still be unknown where I am now.

"That's the situation right now."

With the help of a "miracle", Haruka returned to her human form and returned to everyone. She and the others looked at the light gathering above their heads with worried expressions.

The Witch of Despair took all the people in the Kingdom of Hope into the different space created by her power as human batteries to supply her "energy of despair", and completely closed the passage with a blockade called the "Door of Despair".

The only way to break the blockade is to trigger miracles in the legendary castles at the four corners of the kingdom, and once again spread the light of salvation to this land.

The light of fire, the light of the sea, the light of the stars, these four rays of light are clearly missing the last one to save the Kingdom of Hope, but it just so happens that this is the one missing.

"The Castle of Flowers seems to have destroyed Roma..."

After investigating and finding only bad news, a disheartened Aloma explained the outcome. "It seems that during the activation process, the conflicting forces caused a severe conflict within the Flower Castle, pushing the internal environment to its limit," Aloma said.

"Damn it..." The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Yongjiu, who was so worried, almost gnashed his teeth. "Father, Queen Mother... and everyone else, are we just going to be sealed forever?"

I clearly want to take back my favorite country from her at all costs!

"Sir Forever!"

But just as the elves and the others began to worry about her, Yongjiu quickly shook off her sadness and put on a stronger expression. "It's okay, I won't cry. If my disappearance is the beginning of the people's worry, then my tears are everyone's tears."

"Then I won't cry until this country is saved!"

"You've become stronger, Princess." Ash's large hand gently rested on Yongjiu's head, allowing the girl to rub it coquettishly. "You're so strong that I can't help but want to praise you."

"I'm sorry, Yongyuan!" As the person at the center of the incident, Haruno Haruka, filled with deep regret, certainly wouldn't just sit there and watch. "This is all my fault! If only I had been more careful and cautious back then."

"No, Haruka, this is definitely not your fault." Even before Yongyuan, Ash took the initiative to pull her out of her pool of regret. "There's no point in saying this now. You were simply manipulated. Didn't any of us see through Saya's disguise? If there's any fault, it's all ours."

"At this time, it's better to just blame all the mistakes on the other side!"

"Although this guy used to always talk nonsense." Qiluo, along with Yongjiu, who was a little clumsy and thanked Ash for covering for him, also rarely chimed in. "But this time, the facts are indeed as she said."

Things may indeed be developing in a bad way.

The rescue plan that seemed almost certain to succeed went wrong halfway. Not only did Haruno Haruka fall into the trap and almost turn into a monster, but Prince Kanata, who served as the guide, was accidentally injured and has been in a coma ever since. Even Kaito Nan temporarily lost consciousness while trying to save Ash. In the end, the entire operation was a failure.

“Failure is not a terrible thing. What is terrible is not having the courage to fail.”

If it were the old me, I would probably be angry, but now, I don’t plan to force myself to get along with them anymore.

We can make up for the mistakes we made now next time.

"Next time, let's use our love and courage to save the Earth and the Kingdom of Hope! Haha~ Isn't that romantic?"

I forgive myself, can you forgive yourself too?

None of the heroes I know would hesitate at a time like this!

"Everyone...!"

"Alright, Haruka, just go back to being the strong and cheerful Haruka!"

At Haruka's request, Ash didn't tell anyone about her transformation into a monster to worry them, but the others were still keenly aware of her changes.

But this change seems to be a good thing!

"Hmm...Ash?" At this moment, a murmur sounded from behind Ash, and the others quickly reacted. "Ah! Konan is awake?"

The first person Nan saw when she opened her eyes was Ash. Nan immediately hugged him excitedly. "Great, Ash is back! I thought I was going to lose you!"

When she saw Ash stepping into a trap and about to be sent away, she jumped in without thinking. Although the extent of her injuries even caused her to cancel her transformation for a while, she didn't regret it at all when she thought about it!

"Nan." Ash said nothing more and patted the girl's hands that were folded around his neck. "Thank you for your hard work this time."

"Well... I didn't think too much about it at the time, my body just moved on its own." Finally noticing how close she and Ash were at the moment, the girl shyly buried her face in the back of Ash's neck, and then became even more shy. "Ash has always helped me before, so I also want to show Ash my reliable side."

"I saw it. It was very elegant and beautiful."

This guy has so many tricks up his sleeve to make girls behave nicely.

"But I'm sorry, I failed this time."

"Yes, then we will fight together next time to protect everyone!"

"Ash...has it changed a bit too much?"

Unable to believe that Ash was so good at talking, the girls couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"yes..."

If it were in the past, mentioning failure would definitely make me angry because of the loss of face, and I might even want to go back alone and kill all the enemies!

Standing in front of such an inexplicably mature Ash, some people couldn't help but nod.

"You've matured." Yongjiu, his hair turning gray, smiled elegantly and proudly. "You're worthy of being the King I've chosen."

Changed... No, it's better to say that this is more like the original Ash, right?

Chapter 192 Ash's Dream

"Ah, who was it that refused to accept Ash in the first place, no matter how hard he tried?"

"Ahem!" Twilight's face turned red and pale after being exposed. "This, this is all in the past! Why bring it up again!"

I really don’t know how Yongjiu gets along with them, I can only accept Yao!

The angry Twilight slipped away and left Yongyuan alone, confused, while Ash, who was also the center of the topic, began to complain awkwardly.

"Hey, hey, you all are making me sound like an unreasonable villain."

"Huh? From the moment he appeared, he was straight-up trying to possess our king. Isn't that a villain?"

If you don't consider that they are fighting their way through the Kingdom of Despair, such a conversation would really seem like flirting.

"Stop laughing at me. These are just mistakes I made when I was young."

"But speaking of the king," Ash thought, feeling a headache. "The Dran Castle dragon is coming over, and now I'm going to embarrass myself in front of the people."

Even if you choose to accept yourself, embarrassing things will still be embarrassing.

"And the original plan to invade Earth... well, wasn't that a series of complete failures?"

I was so cool when I first declared it, but now I feel so embarrassed when I think about it. Ahhh! I can't think about it anymore, otherwise I'll really get embarrassed!

"So you care so much... Fufu!" Ash, who was so handsome before, is now worried about this kind of thing. The change makes Haruka laugh. "I think it's okay, because everyone likes Ash the most. Even if Ash fails, he will still be the most handsome King of the Night in their hearts!"

"Well, at worst, we can do that then~" Qiluo, who was standing beside him, suddenly had an idea. "Then we'll help you put on a show. Pretend to be your Queen of Pretty Cure and admit that you've taken over the Earth. With us, everyone will believe it."

I understand. Since Ash cares so much, it is my job to give him enough face in public.

"Oh my~" Nan Nan, who had gotten off Ash's back and saw Qiluo's smile, teased. "Qiluo, do you think this is really acting?"

"Wow, Nan, when did you become so sharp-tongued!"

Please give me back the serious and stern student union president I used to have!

"Just now."

When their eyes met, Qiluo and Nan couldn't help laughing together, and then Yongyuan and Yao followed with a small voice. Except for Ash who was the center of the topic, everyone was full of joy.

The low feeling that once represented frustration also disappeared in such a happy atmosphere.

"Gaga! Despair!!"

"What is this?"
