Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Didn't you tell me? This kind of selfish organization monster tastes much better than the core of the mirror monster. If you like it so much, you can eat as much as you want this time."

Ash hates killing people, but it is well known that weirdos and those who join dark organizations are traitors and are not considered human beings.

The pitch-black dragon roared excitedly after receiving Ash's approval, and surrounded him with its dragon fangs in the circle it drew. Ash automatically floated slowly into the air without wind, until the dragon behind him spit out sharp black flames towards his back and the two of them.

"Sorry, Gula!"

At the critical moment, Levi pushed Gula in front of him out to block the bullet for himself.

As the saying goes, it is better for me to die than for my friend to die. I will definitely report this matter to the King of Selfishness, and the king will avenge you!

"Levi, you—!"

The burning sensation of his entire body being wrapped in flames made him want to break free, but he was horrified to find that the parts of his legs that were wrapped in flames had become hardened and could not move, and the flames had spread all the way up along his waist.

However, he didn't have time to consider the possibility that he would turn into a stone statue, because right in front of him, Ash had already stretched out his right leg in the air and made the most standard flying kick posture, and kicked towards him from above, propelled by the impact of fireworks behind him!

“Sai ya——!”

Ash landed lightly and brushed the dust off his legs. The Selfish Organization cadre's feet felt very smooth, the exploding fireworks were very bright, and the Black Warrior Dragon was very happy to eat the lost energy. He would buy it again next time.

Seeing that Levi had already escaped, Ash did not chase him, but turned around and raised his finger towards the ball of fire burning on the ground.

"Forever, adieu."

Lost Imagination

Reluctantly waving goodbye to the two legendary warriors who began to dissipate, the Expresses also disappeared one after another as the power of the gears was consumed as time passed, leaving only the Express No. 1, whose body was emitting a faint fluorescent light, standing beside Aguri.

He took off the Xiao Lieji prop from the transformation bracelet, and removed the transformation suit of Express One, revealing his true self with a happy and cheerful face. The man breathed in the air of the other world and couldn't help but stretch while making a comfortable sound.

"Hmm~ Is this the world of Pretty Cure from TV? It's wonderful, the air is fresh, and the imagination is rich. I'm sure the Shadow Route won't be able to develop a route here."

"Eh!" Aguri let out a drawn-out cry of surprise upon seeing Tokkyu-no-1 reveal its true form. She had originally thought that these team members summoned by Ash were puppets without self-awareness, just like the Diend next door. But now they were here in person, so they were not pretending anymore, were they?!

"Hey, hello!" The man bent down and greeted Aguri and Ruri warmly, without any age difference. "I'm the Express Number One of the Express Operators - Suzuki Raito. Please give me your guidance!"

"But I didn't expect that the Pretty Cure who protects this world is actually our age! It turns out that children can also protect the world!"

Aguri blinked in confusion, feeling as if he had accidentally been spoiled something huge a year in advance.

"Hey—so you're the real Pretty Cure, Aguri? So is it the pink one, or the yellow one? It can't be the blue or purple one, right?!"

"No, Liuli-chan, you have to keep it a secret for me..."

After chatting quietly with Ruri for a while, Aguri turned back to Laito and asked him a question cautiously.

"Are you real people?"

Facing Aguri's question, Laito looked a little confused and scratched his head, seemingly not knowing how to answer.

"Is it true...Isn't that true? But I am here to fight."

"This time he's probably here because Ash is here, so we can temporarily come to the body of Express One summoned here when we imagine it."

Don’t ask what the principle is, because asking is just letting your winning imagination take over.

"Ash...is it really him?"

Aguri now had even greater doubts about that person's identity.

As we all know, half of the knights in Kamen Rider, the Rangers in the Sentai, Ultraman and other special effects heroes specially designed for children are basically good people without any doubt. Can the guys who can become friends with these people really be bad guys?

Could it be that this guy is the type who infiltrates a dark organization and turns against them halfway through? Thinking about it this way, the possibility is quite high!

"Hey, do you know Ash?"

"I guess they know each other. He has a good relationship with the Pretty Cure here."

Too good!

Not noticing the strange tone in Aguri's words, Laito felt like his body was about to disappear, so he quickly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Aguri.

"In that case, could you please give this to him for us? We agreed to return to our respective cities, but he ended up sailing off into the darkness with Jet and the others... So please give this to him!"

"this is?"

Aguri took the piece of paper. It looked like someone had cut it directly from a notebook. The outlines were all crooked. "TQG" and the shape of a city were crudely drawn on it with a watercolor pen, and the names of six people, including Lai Dou, were written below.

"This is the ticket. We asked the conductor and his men to find Ash's city. Now, please give it to him."

After all, imagination cannot remain in reality forever. Lai Dou's body began to gradually dissipate. He took a last look at the city where his friends now lived, smiled and waved goodbye to them.

"One more thing to ask of him, too. Tell him how grateful we are for helping us find the city! The train captain and Ming and the others miss him, too. Feel free to come back on the Express anytime!"

"He's a very good and very bad guy. If he ever becomes strange, please correct him! He's not someone who will make the world cry!"

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

The fragments of imagination vanished into the world, and Aguri's questions could no longer be answered by Raito.

Seriously, what does the last sentence mean?

“And I don’t know where that person is…”

"Are you looking for me?"

She sent Liuli back. Because she had been looking for her for a long time as Laidou had asked her to, she couldn't find her. When she was about to give up, she suddenly heard Ash's voice from behind and she jumped up in fright.

"Wow wow wow wow——how can someone like you walk without making any sound?!"

And how come you suddenly appeared when someone mentioned you? Are you Batman?!

"Because it's funnier to see you jumping up and down."

Ash stroked his chin as if nothing had happened, and smiled mischievously at Aguri who was getting even more angry.

"You wicked person—why doesn't anyone teach you a lesson?"

The elementary school students I know are more mature than you!

"Maybe it's because I don't take lessons. Who knows?"

"You really are... Forget it! I have nothing to say to you!"

The angry girl gasped for breath. Seeing Aguri about to turn around and leave, Ash continued to smile and called her back.

"But this time I saw that your performance was pretty good. I kind of like you."

"You say you like me, but I'm only interested in you because of my past identity as a Pretty Cure!"

Now Ash was curious, last time Arisu was so embarrassed that her face turned red, but this time Aguri seemed angry and pointed at his nose.

"I see, you have no love for me in your heart at all. It's twenty thousand years too early for me to misunderstand you!"

"The second of the Five Vows of Pretty Cure is that love is given! Without love, I won't believe you no matter how nice your words are!"

"Really." Although Aguri's words sounded a bit offensive, Ash, who was in a very good mood, did not feel offended. He smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the girl's soft brown hair, but was slapped away.

"Really? What are you doing? Don't you know that ladies hate being touched on the head the most?"

"I don't believe it. Regina really likes being petted on the head by me."

This was a lie. Every time Ash tried to rub Regina's blonde hair, she would struggle for a while before slowly calming down.

The two of them played and fought along the way, and then Aguri remembered something else, and angrily took out the ticket and handed it to him.

"This, that's the one that's here to fight for you!"

But Ash didn't catch it immediately. Instead, he showed a puzzled expression, tapped his forehead with his fingers, and asked slowly.

"Who is the one you're talking about?"

"Ha, you're still trying to trick me! It's that Express One you summoned!"

"Oh, you mean him—I'm not kidding you this time, I just have a bad memory sometimes."

Ash's laughter as if he had suddenly understood something made Aguri's dissatisfaction even more overflowing. Needless to say, Aguri saw that he was teasing him again.

But she did misunderstand Ash on this point.

In Ash's memory, he was very happy to see the shining figure when traveling and fighting in the chariot, but he really couldn't remember the person's name.

"Really? Stop using excuses that only older people use! Okay, catch it?"

"You said to catch it, but what do you want me to catch?"

"Ha, what do you think it is? This is a token of appreciation from someone. The express train ticket is right here!"

"So."

Ash closed his eyes and then opened them again, continuing to look at Aguri's hand.

Then he shook his head.

"You don't have anything in your hand."

What Ash saw was Aguri pretending to hold something with his hands, but there was nothing there.

There really is nothing.

79 Regina's Choice

"Hey—is this the princess of the Poker Kingdom?"

He knocked on the sea-blue solid ice in the center of the base, and found a beautiful girl with her eyes closed sealed in the ice. Judging from her decent clothes and the words of others, this girl should be the Princess An that Makoto had been thinking about.

Ash was a little surprised that they actually snatched the princess from Pretty Cure. Although they used some despicable means, they were still quite capable.

But even though someone was clearly sealed inside, Ash couldn't sense any life force from within. Could it be that the person inside was already dead? Or... was there something else going on?

When I put my palms on the ice, I could feel a cool sensation against my skin, but my hands were not frozen at all. The ice showed no signs of melting. Ira and Mamo tried their best but couldn't break the ice at all.

"You can't open it?"

"That's right, neither our evil thoughts nor the fire and bombs of the human world can open it." Ira began to complain to Ash and began to secretly compliment him.

"So, Master Ash, do you have any way to open this block of ice?"

Hehe, as long as the ice is opened, I will take the opportunity to kidnap the princess inside and bring her to the Selfish King. Then I will definitely be rewarded for my great achievement, and then it’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!

"I do have tools specifically for prying open hard shells."

Great! Now, here's the next step...

"But does opening ice cubes really benefit me in the slightest? Why would I bother with it? I think this thing is pretty nice, so I'll just put it here as a decoration."

"No, no, no, Master Ash, this is all for the Selfish King! And with your strength, you can't even open a piece of ice bowl - huh?!"

Before he could finish, Ash raised his hands to pinch his mouth and nose, and only spoke out word by word when his face turned the color of liver.

"Don't try to provoke me, or I'll use your head as a hammer and crack the ice apart. Then we'll know which is harder, the ice or your head."

Ira, who was released, quickly covered his head and ran away shouting "No, no, no!". After ignoring the two cadres who had been bullied by him, Ash turned his attention to Regina who was lying on the table in a depressed mood.

"What's wrong, my princess?"

"nothing...."

Regina, lying on the table, seemed a little reluctant to meet Ash's eyes. She turned her head away and slurped the cantaloupe juice in her hand.

"Is it something that even I can't tell you?"

"No—well...I'm worried about Mana and the others."

After a moment's silence, Regina told Ash about her experience in the snowy mountains. It turned out that they also met Guangmei and her group who were also looking for gems. After a battle, she and Ai fell into a cave. Following the guidance of the gems, they found the frozen princess and were finally brought back here with the princess.

"I won't be tempted by gems anymore. Afterwards, Mana saved me and told me I was a good kid. She also said a lot of touching things. Everyone forgave me, which was a very happy thing..."

"Yeah, isn't that a good thing?"

So what are you doing here looking so sad?

"But I found myself...I can't treat Pretty Cure and the others as enemies at all! They are my friends now."

As Regina's eyes met Ash's calm black pupils, they trembled violently, and her heart was wavering.

"But...if I make friends with them, wouldn't that be betraying Dad? What would Dad do then? Would he just have to watch me get destroyed by Mana and the others?"

Regina, who was forced into a dilemma, seemed to have all her strength drained away. She lay helplessly on the table, puffing up her breath.
