Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Yes."

After hearing Mana's words, the others also breathed a sigh of relief. So this is how the game is played this time.

"That's it."

"As expected of Yaxiu."

"Ash will definitely be proud of you inheriting him, I promise~"

"is it?"

The pink-haired girl's smile became increasingly gentle as she expressed her gratitude gracefully amidst everyone's praise.

"Thank you ladies for the compliments. It would be great if I could surprise my father."

The air that had just been released was stuck in the throat with a gasp of cold air.

what……

huh?

If we continue to maintain this at this time, aren't we trying too hard?

"I've heard that you secretly call yourself Ash's girlfriend."

Hui stood up at this time. Since the stereotype has labeled her as a bad woman, she doesn't mind jumping out and playing the good guy role at the right time.

"I know you'll use this as an excuse to come back, but we are Pretty Cure!"

"We will definitely win! Prove what true love and Ash's true affection really are!"

Yaxiu seemed a little frightened after hearing this, but she did not react as Hui expected. She just remained dignified and calm and bowed to her again.

"I also know the ladies' love for my father, but... I hope you ladies will show mercy to my father in the future."

Hui was really stunned this time.

Am I just pretending to be a bad guy this time?

"..."

The overflowing sense of disharmony lingered around everyone and could not be stopped.

The collective silence among the crowd actually frightened the extremely flustered Yaxu. She was afraid that her question had made everyone so embarrassed, so she spoke quickly.

"I'll do my best from now on! Whether it's becoming an elegant lady or a qualified Pretty Cure! As long as it's to help everyone and father, I'll do whatever it takes!"

"Don't make promises like that lightly."

"F-Father?"

The sudden voice from behind made Yaxiu, who had a question mark on his head, tremble all over, and his expression looked like a child who had been scolded by his parents.

"Because if you fail to do so, the disappointment you cause to the other person will be multiplied. You're alone, and you don't have the energy to shoulder such a heavy burden."

"But, aren't we all troubled by the problems of the Hundred Realms right now?"

Mustering up her courage and raising her fist, the hopeful girl looked at him expectantly.

"So I want to help Father no matter how much I can!"

"That's our business too!"

"besides."

There was a hint of coldness in Ash's words towards this other "self".

"I have a name, don't call anyone father casually."

After Ash, with his head down, returned to his room as instructed, the Pretty Cure came closer with curiosity in her eyes.

-

"Amnesia?"

Qiluo scratched her head. She had only seen this kind of melodramatic plot in TV dramas in the past, but she didn't expect it to happen again this time. Thinking of this, her expression became strange. If you said that Yaxiu was your copy, could it be that your family has inherited some kind of fragile tofu pudding?

"If it's just amnesia, it wouldn't be a big deal."

Ash sighed with helplessness in his tone.

"To be precise, her appearance settings were restored."

Who knew that this "hibernation" was actually to prepare for something like this?

Not to mention anything else, she had spent a long time searching for the method to transform into a Night Angel. Now, the key intelligence she had received from Dekai, which was a pleasant surprise, that Yaxiu held the "key" that could turn the tide of the battle, was now out of the question.

"Why is this so?"

Unlike the other three people in the Hundred Worlds, Yaxiu was the "fourth sister" created by the system after the original plan to replace the sacrifice. In terms of experience and age, she is much shorter than the others.

"She became what she is today after going through a series of events, including being mercilessly hunted by Dust."

The boy with a subtle look in his eyes continued to explain the reason to them.

"In other words, this Yaxiu has returned to the state the system set for her at the very beginning."

I just didn't expect that this person would have such a personality.

"A cute, kind child who is well-behaved, sensible, gentle, polite and kind."

Qiluo counted the buffs stacked by the opponent this time on her fingers.

"Your system is quite sophisticated, isn't it? It's definitely very Pretty Cure-like."

That’s right, it’s all right!

"Besides, she was born from you as her original body. No wonder she always calls you father. That makes sense, doesn't it?"

"But the person I want now is the Angel of Darkness, the key character who holds the record of the original power of all Pretty Cure."

Not the kid now!

Chapter 106: Meal replacements cannot be eaten as meals.

After thinking about it for a while, Ash still couldn't understand why the system set such a setting for Ash.

Why did the other three betray and leave, but she was deliberately left behind to stay with me, and why did she call this strange person father?

"Even though none of them, including Dust, have ever called me dad... No, it seems they have."

Of course, the part involving the Knight's Shed's patricide is deliberately disgusting, so let's put it aside for now.

"Could it be that, because you knew you were going to leave me, you thought of taking my place so I wouldn't be lonely? Heh—!"

Ash laughed angrily at his own thoughts.

Is this the "souvenir" you left me as a farewell?

You should know that I have never had any thoughts about this kind of stuff. The only thing I want is the "prize" of the winner!

"I really did some unnecessary things."

As if he had thought of something, Ash's eyes revealed a sharpness like a hawk.

“No one can replace anyone else. No one is a substitute for anyone else.”

That’s what I wanted to say!

"Greetings, Father!"

"Did I say that?"

The joyful mood was pushed back into the girl's heart.

"Ash...Mr.?"

It can be heard that this kind of address is a bit difficult for Yaxiu now.

"Mrs. Haruno will be visiting you, and here's this!"

Restraining his sadness, Yaxiu quickly placed the tray in his hand on Yaxiu's desk.

"This is the lunch that Mrs. Aida prepared. She told me to make sure..."

"I know, let it go."

Although putting down the plate in her hand, Yaxiu still looked conflicted and didn't want to leave.

"Mr. Ash, I want..."

"go back."

“I’m trying!”

Afraid that Ash would say something cruel again, Yaxu was eager to perform in front of him.

"I'm learning from Lady Aino and the others. I'm honing my skills as a Pretty Cure! I'm sure it'll be useful to you, father."

I want to do this! I can do this! Please, father, let me become your important daughter too!

"go back!"

Even the usually good-tempered Haruka felt a little angry when she passed by the pink-haired girl with tears in her eyes.

"Ash, you were so bad just now!"

Even though it was her lover's, Ash's actions really made Haruka feel angry and sad for her.

"I heard she did something bad to you...but didn't she come here to help you? And even though she lost her memory just now, didn't she still express her determination to work hard for you?"

Can't you just consider this as Yaxiu's atonement for her past mistakes? Is it really that hard to forgive her?

"No, you said one thing wrong, Haruka."

The hand that was originally to be placed on the chin was moved to another position because I felt uncomfortable.

"I have never hated or disliked her, so how can I talk about forgiving or not forgiving her?"

Honestly speaking, the difference between now and before is so huge that I can't even consider him as the same person.

"Then why are you so indifferent to Yaxiu?"

why?

The reason why I am so familiar and close with you is that I have spent irreplaceable and wonderful time with you, which makes me cherish you so much that I am willing to risk my life to protect you.

When I met someone I knew before, like Fujimiya, even if our relationship wasn't quite as close as enemies, I was willing to trust them in times of war. Because I'd been enemies before, I knew how reliable they were as companions. (Except before I realized I was being manipulated by a computer, of course.)

But what about Yashu?

"Yash..."

All Ash could think of was that she had deliberately seduced his desire in order to obtain the power of the previous generations of Pretty Cure, but at the critical moment she had given him help and helped him defeat the assassin.

It was indeed a good thing that he brought everyone to help this time. That was why he tried his best to help her heal her injuries, but...

"Even if the system says she's another Pretty Cure, I don't feel any bond with her."

It's not the kind of person who shares life and death with me and goes through thick and thin. My feeling can only be described in one word... unfamiliar.

"And now you're suddenly calling me dad."

Especially when talking about this word, he thought of his father whom he had buried not long ago, and then thought of his mother whom he had killed with his own hands. The fact that Ash had no psychological trauma about family affection was the result of his open mind.

"What kind of expression do you want me to make?"

Your kindness comes from your love for me, but she suddenly did this... It was so abrupt that I really can't think of anything good.

"But no matter what, the child calls you father and trusts your words sincerely."

After knowing the confusion of Ash's side, Haruka couldn't help but sigh and gave honest advice.

"Even if it's hard to trust her, how about at least being gentle with her?"

"I understand. I'm not that cold-blooded. There's more."

"besides?"

"She wanted to go to the battlefield with me."

How could I possibly take a woman who calls me father to such a dangerous place... huh?

Pushing open the curtains in front of him and looking towards the place where the gap originally pointed to, Ash always felt that there must have been someone there not long ago?
