Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Not to mention those fans who have always supported me. If I choose to retire because of this mentality, wouldn’t I be betraying them?

Perhaps it was because of this that I almost lost my precious voice.

"So, do you want to give up?"

Makoto stared directly into Ash's dark and empty eyes with her purple gemstones covered by haze.

"I will not give up."

Now Makoto finally figured it out.

"I now remember what the princess once said to me. She said my singing was powerful and that just listening to it would fill her with spirit. I was the one who encouraged her."

Maybe singing alone has no practical use, but when I sing, I am really happy and blessed!

“At that time, I didn’t have any special reason, I just sang because I wanted to!”

"Well, I'm not wrong. So before the next game, you can sing for me."

Seeing Makoto's determination, Ash reached out his hand to her, but the moment he touched her, he was bounced away by the purple electric sparks flashing around her.

"In that case, from now on, for all those who love me and for myself, I will sing!"

You, who seduce others and take away their voices, should not be easily forgiven!

A strong purple aura emanated from the Cure Sword, just like Yotsuba Arisu before, strength, momentum, and vitality gushed out from deep within the body.

"Because I'm no longer confused, have I awakened a new power?"

The condition of his whole body grew rapidly with the rising momentum. Wiping off the dust on his face, Makoto stood tall in the ruins and declared to Ash in a heroic manner.

"I no longer sing for just one person!"

"Ash, if you want to take away the power of trust in this world!"

"I will spread love to the world through my singing, and use the power of love to take back the trusting heart from your hands!"

The girl once again summoned the courage that flowed from her heart, and held her hands in the shape of spades in front of her chest.

"Blade of Courage! Cure Sword!"

"Let me, Cure Sword, use the sword of love to cut off your ambitions!"

Intense power flows from the awakened Cure Sword.

Seeing this, Ash smiled innocently and took out the space-time driver and dial.

"Interesting, that's what makes the game fun."

"[Ryuga!] (Dragon Fang)"

"henshin!"

A strange dragon tooth appeared on the ground, with a strong evil energy surging from its body. Between the two people standing opposite each other, deep black and bright purple, visible ripples rushed out from their bodies and collided with each other's momentum. The energy erupted from the collision point and continued to emit a deafening beating like a heart pulse. The powerful force threw everything around away.

"Anyone can talk big, but what matters is how you can do it."

Ash took heavy steps and rushed towards Makoto like a moving city of steel at a speed that was not slow at all. Makoto supported herself with her hands in front of her, but was still pushed backwards by the huge force. The heels of her shoes dug into the ground, plowing two clearly visible marks on the ground.

"You said you wanted to cut off my ambition, but how can you do that?"

The face that gradually merged with the mask began to distort, the alien dragon's mouth opened its teeth, and the huge strength of its hands grabbed Makoto's wrist and pulled her close to his chest. From a third party's perspective, the two of them were at such an ambiguous distance that they looked like they were hugging or dancing a symphony.

However, when comparing the extremely hideous and terrifying alien dragon teeth with the firm and beautiful Cure Sword, it is hard not to think of words like the beast and the beauty.

"The voices of the weak will never be heard no matter how many times they are spoken. This is the true truth!"

Even if you become stronger, it doesn't mean I become weaker. It was Ash who suppressed Makoto at the moment, so he dared to tease her so wantonly.

"wrong!"

Ash stopped moving.

The power in Makoto's hands was still growing, and the power flowing out of her body still did not stop. At this moment, Makoto supported Ash's hand and slowly pushed it back, looking directly at the man with her eyes without fear.

"Who said you can't do anything without strength?!"

For a girl who wants to use her singing to spread love to the world and make it a better place, Ash's words undoubtedly touched her pain point.

"This twisted thought is just your arbitrary idea!"

"If you deny this statement, what are you doing now?"

While Ash was not letting up with his words, he was still trying harder. Then he was surprised to find that Makoto was actually pulling him towards her?

"Of course, to correct your thoughts!"

"Duang~!"

The alien dragon fang mask collided with Makoto's forehead. Makoto, who took the initiative to hit it, had tears in the corners of his eyes and a red spot on his forehead. Ash's visor near his eyes was directly shattered. Behind the glass-like fragments scattered on the ground were the man's dark pupils.

"Ha, isn't this great!"

After being repelled with one blow, Ash covered the Arrancar with his palm. When he took it up again, the damaged cover had returned to its hideous appearance.

Ash drew out his large sword, and his left hand transformed into a fire-breathing dragon head. Makoto also raised the bow of love and pulled the bowstring, ready to shoot.

Fight again immediately!

Both sides exerted their full strength and ran towards each other. Makoto dodged the high-temperature flames sideways, blocked the blade with the bow of love, and turned around to kick Ash's waist with his slender legs.

Ash, who was hit hard, trembled slightly and kicked back to knock her down, but Makoto had already deflected the sword with the bow of love to the side, destroying Ash's balance. At the moment, she turned into a purple light and supported herself with her hands on Ash's bent back. With just a cross, she moved herself behind Ash.

"drink--!"

A purple arrow of light exploded behind Ash. Ash, who deliberately did not use the mirror shield, rolled on the ground in a mess for several times before he stood up in a half-squat position. The pain from his back made Alien Dragon Fang's face look like a grin.

The improvement of various attributes such as strength and speed, it turns out that the setting of idealism is a representative word of outrageousness.

Another rain of arrows came, but this time Ash didn't let her off. As the arrows hit her, the space next to her shattered into a mirror. The Cure Sword in the mirror moved in the opposite direction, and in exactly the same posture, it sent the same rain of arrows towards Makoto herself.

"Wow!"

The feeling of being struck by a powerful attack wasn't pleasant. Makoto, lying on the ground, clutched her still-smoking chest and stared in disbelief at Ash as he slowly rose to his feet. Although she'd heard about this move from her, it wasn't until she'd actually suffered it that she understood its terrifying nature.

How could he be defeated if he had such an ability that could bounce back any fatal attack?

Chapter 110: Makoto's Counterattack

"Why, Ash, you suddenly want to play this kind of sad game!"

Ash pulled Makoto up from the ground by her collar, looked at the girl's sad expression, and kicked her side again and again without changing his expression. He listened to the continuous muffled sound and the girl's moans, and finally threw her aside.

"Because I'm bored."

"Although it's fun playing with you guys, once people have some free time, they get bored. Because of boredom, I want to play some more exciting games."

This is a lie.

In fact, it is not just because of this reason. Now when he looks at these pretty girls of light, especially when he feels the more beautiful energy in them that is the opposite of evil thoughts, a kind of inexplicable "desire" will arise in him.

Acting to hurt others in order to satisfy one's own desires is indeed the selfishness that girls have always wanted to defeat.

When did it start? It seemed like it was when I was hit by that harmless beam of light.

"Then how can you play this game of taking pleasure in other people's suffering?"

"I can do it anyway. Before my life is over, I can do whatever I want."

Unlike the villains who have clear goals and the decent people who fight for good, I have no obligation to force myself.

Oh my, when I think about it this way, all those useless and selfless things I did in the past that did no good to myself were really stupid.

Ignoring Makoto's angry voice, Ash lifted Makoto's hand holding the heart bow and arrow and patted her wrist teasingly.

"See, with such great power, it would be a waste not to use it, right?"

"Such perverse logic!"

The angry Makoto spun on the spot and kicked Ash with a handstand sweep, but this attack was not as successful as she had imagined. The girl's feet hit something hard.

"Dark Summoning—Part!"

"[Kamen Rider↘Blade↗]"

He held the knife in his backhand and chopped the girl's waist with a powerful force, knocking her down. Ash slapped the awakening sword in a somewhat ostentatious manner, making a crisp sound.

"I can wield the power of any world with ease. Isn't that impressive?"

"Wouldn't it be boring if I had this kind of power but didn't use it to its full potential?"

cut!

The sharp sword blade cut through the girl's chest, emitting a series of explosive sparks!

cut!

She held the Awakening Sword in one hand and swung it in a sword flower, blocking the counterattack fist to the side with a dazzling move. The second blow from her backhand was hastily blocked by her with the Heart Bow.

prick!

Facing Makoto who jumped high and flew over his head, Ash would not hold back this time. He turned the sword half a circle in his hand and stabbed it upwards fiercely, and the purple bird was stabbed down from the sky.

"Your battle name is Cure Sword, but you don't even use a sword-type weapon. It's really a misnomer."

"You don't have to be so clear about Pretty Cure!"

Due to the concern for the mirror shield, her skills were sealed, and even after standing up again and gaining strength, Makoto was played around by Ash's rich experience.

Ash opened the card slot of the Awakening Sword, pulled out three cards and swiped them from the side.

"[Kick] (Kick? 5), [Thunder] (Thunder? 6), Mach (Mach? 9)"

[Lightning Sonic]

After completing the consumption of 3800 AP value, three huge awakening card energy imprints were projected and then absorbed by Ash. He raised the awakening sword and stabbed it into the ground. The alien Dragon Fang, with a light blue light flowing all over his body except for his head, was bright red, and ran at the speed of Mach. The speed directly created a barrier of air in front of him and sent Makoto flying. Then he turned over and jumped into the air, and thunder exploded under his feet that were accumulating electric power.

The moment it collided with Makoto, who was defending herself with both hands, the floating lightning strips instantly illuminated the surroundings.

Her body was blasted back repeatedly. Makoto, with electric light wrapped all over her body, opened her mouth and closed her eyes, drooling from the electric shock. Her muscles were paralyzed and she could only lie on the big tree behind her to keep her body upright.

"Can't you do it anymore? I was hoping you could fight better... Oh, are you, crying?"

When Ash got closer, he saw that there were crystal tears in Makoto's eyes, and two tear marks were clearly visible on her face.

"Even if you cry, I won't show mercy. If you don't want to be hurt, just surrender."

The current Ash is no longer the man who would wipe away the tears of the young girl.

Confirming this only made Makoto feel even sadder.

"Makoto...."

Her partner Dabi's worried voice came from her waist. Makoto, who had barely gotten rid of the influence of the lightning on her body, shook her head. Now she had more important things to do than the physical damage.

"I'm grieving, grieving for the person we knew!"

After hearing what Makoto said, Ash became interested. He put one hand on his waist and carried the sword on his shoulder, waiting to see what Makoto would say.

"Even though Mr. Ash did something excessive to me before, his relationship with everyone has been getting better and better. I want to believe in that kind of Ash."

But after that sudden attack by the Selfish King, Ash changed. As a Poker Kingdom resident, Makoto, having faced the Selfish King head-on, knew the monster's true power better than anyone else. She didn't believe that Ash was truly unharmed after getting back up from that blow.

"But, the Ash we used to know is gone, so I want—!"

I want to defeat this annoying Ash and awaken the real you.

"Your next words were, I want to be able to bring back your true self."

"I want to be able to change back to your true self—eh?"

Makoto was stunned when her true feelings were spoken.

"Humans usually only deal with the image of others in their own minds. When the other party deviates from this image, people always say something: "I didn't expect you to be such a person", "I really misjudged you." Ash yawned in boredom, and as he walked towards Makoto, he raised his hand and kept hitting the shoulder armor with the sword's spine. The crisp sound further oppressed her spirit.

"But this imaginary image isn't the other person themselves, so it's not their fault, right?"

"Do you think that I am not the real me now and feel betrayed?"

"Are you sure that I am not my true self now? Maybe the way I was with you before was just a game~"

Every word Ash said pierced everyone's heart, and every word was heart-wrenching.

"Pretty Cure Sparkle Sword!!!"
