Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Page 148

But in this case, the other party's persistence in targeting him can be explained.

The extremely fast Matthew kept bumping into the Pretty Cure girls. The girls wanted to fight back but couldn't even catch the opponent's tail hair. They could only defend themselves as much as possible to slow down the opponent's attack.

"But Marlowe, it's not right for you to do this!"

My dog suddenly came back to life and started attacking me and my friends due to a misunderstanding. Ai thought about what happened to Ash and her first reaction was that someone was playing tricks on her.

But even if you want to find out who is causing trouble, you have to stop it first!

"I never said I wanted to abandon the past!" Facing the bloody mouth biting at him, Ai, who was somewhat unable to exert strength, struggled to use both hands to hold up the other party's fangs that were trying to bite him.

"I want to take your shares with me into the future!" Ai gathered strength in both hands and pushed Malo back. The giant dog Malo immediately used his ability. The energy flowing out of his hair turned into flying wild dogs that attacked from all directions. The girls hurriedly dodged.

"In this case, you will also live forever in my heart, so Marlowe, let Ash go first---Wow!"

"Shut up, annoying!" Marlow, who had softened somewhat after the first half of the conversation, was now even more furious, his attack intensifying. "You keep talking about him, Ai Aida. You're just someone who gets bored easily, and it's always been that way."

“…I’m different now!”

"Hmph, if you want to save him, it's impossible!" Marlowe kept exhaling hot air from his mouth, and the fierce light in his eyes became even more intense.

"He will continue like this, dying sweetly in his sleep!"

"No way!" Makoto and Aguri took over Ai's place, and together they worked together to fight against Marlowe.

"If Ash says so, he will definitely be able to escape from the dream!"

"Do not......"

Looking back at Ash's beautiful smile on the screen, Rika, with her arms folded in front of her chest, uttered a sound in a daze.

"Eh?" Even though it was just a soliloquy, Arisu who was standing beside him heard it and was immediately filled with endless surprise.

Even though it was hard to understand, seeing Ash's rare smile on the screen, which came from the heart without any malice, Rikka actually hoped that he would not wake up.

"Ash is really happy now."

Maybe it is really as that person said, no one can give up their dreams, especially someone like Ash who has never enjoyed the good times in the past.

The moment this thought came to her mind, Rikka felt a genuine dislike for herself in her heart.

Why... do I have such ugly thoughts?

With her head lowered and an extremely unpleasant expression on her face, Rika felt extremely sad.

But soon Rikka had no time to feel sorry for herself. As she felt the pain of thinking she was forgotten, Marlowe's attacks became more and more powerful. Everyone kept dodging his attacks and was exhausted.

"All of you, go to the bottom of hell!"

Seeing Malo rushing towards her, Ai's expression kept changing, but in the end she stood still, closed her eyes and faced the attack.

"Pfft!"

The ongoing battle was paused at this moment.

The sharp fangs pierced Ai's shoulder, which was just a few inches away from severing the carotid artery. Blood started from the shoulder and flowed all the way down the arm. The bright red liquid dripped and quickly formed a small pool of blood on the ground.

how come?

The smell of blood came from between his teeth, and Marlowe, who didn't expect that his move could hit the target, also widened his eyes.

“cure heart!”

The worries of her companions and the severe pain in her shoulder did not affect Ai. She hugged Marlowe, who was close to her, with a normal expression.

"Why—don't you get out of the way?"

Even if two more points would have killed her, Marlowe did not press on and instead opened his mouth and stared at his former "favorite" master.

"I feel what Marlowe is feeling. You complained about my forgetfulness of you in the past, and so you developed resentment and jealousy towards the person I love now."

Fighting with all your heart can make the other person feel your feelings, right?

Chapter 145 Self-Redemption of Love and Self-Destruction of Ash

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

"Sorry, everyone. Actually, even he said that. Marlowe is right. I have always been a person who gets bored easily."

Looking at the girl who was still stubbornly enduring despite the continuous dripping of blood, all her language abilities were lost at this moment. Now, all the attention of people and dogs was taken away by love.

"Looking back now, I really was an overreacting guy."

When Kenzaki Makoto, a popular idol and Pretty Cure, transferred to our school, I followed her like a little puppy and wanted to make friends with her. Even though Rikka hinted that she was angry, intentionally or unintentionally, I still ignored her and Arisu's feelings.

When Regina showed up, I thought she could be a friend. Even though I knew the hatred Makoto carried, I still stuck with her. Even after falling out with Makoto and Regina making everyone unhappy, I still just kept thinking that being friends would be fine, and I went my own way. If everyone hadn't forgiven me in the end...

Then, she met Ash.

"As the guild leader, I always act like I'm omnipotent in front of everyone. But there's no such thing as an indestructible person in this world. Ash just exposed my weak spots."

I also wanted to be friends with him, but this time was different. No matter what I did, I hit a wall with him. Faced with someone who was even more self-willed and self-centered, I was of no use.

Precisely because it was so hard to get, I wanted Ash's friendship even more and never let go, and it has always been like this, as usual... until Ash, who was obsessed with selfish desires, took away all my friends. At that time, I even had a big fight with Rikka because of this. How ironic.

Oscar Wilde's fairy tale tells the story of the Happy Prince, who, while alive, lived in the palace, never knowing what sorrow and poverty were. After his death, he was transformed into an amber statue, standing high above the city, only to see all the ugliness and suffering within. So, he asked the little swallow to give his gilded self to the poor.

But the fairy tale did not have a happy ending. The swallow froze to death in the winter, the prince died of a broken heart, and not even the statue was left.

She had almost reached this end.

"I always act without thinking of the consequences, and in fact, I keep hurting the people around me who always care about me!"

"I'm not some happy prince who gives away his golden amber to everyone. I'm just a thief who squanders the happiness I got from you."

Marlowe was right to blame me for forgetting it. In fact, if it weren't for my recent reflection, I would have even forgotten the little white dog I adopted in the past, which would circle around me and wag its tail at me every time I came home from school. That would be too much, wouldn't it?

"It was then that I realized that my friendship with everyone should never be used in the way I did."

"I should return the love I received from everyone to everyone's heart, so I will never forget Marlowe in my life!"

You are definitely not the wings of my self-satisfaction.

"Mana..."

Just when the atmosphere was very good, she was interrupted by an ominous sound coming from the depths of the whale.

"Don't be fooled. After that day, time stops for you, and that guy plans to leave you to move forward into the future alone!"

"You're the one who should shut up!"

The mysterious voice that aroused everyone's anger was immediately retorted by the other girls, especially Rikka and Makoto, who were indignant.

"This is what Mana really meant. How can you make it a lie just because of your words?"

Mana, even if you think you are not a happy prince, we still want to be your swallow!

The girls gradually moved closer to surround Ai and Mallow, guarding against any attack that might come from anywhere.

"Marlowe, although the time I spent with you was short, I was really happy. Thank you!"

The sincerity of love melted Marlo's cold heart, and in front of everyone, the huge wild dog shrank back to its original appearance as a little white dog.

"What have I done..."

Covering his bleeding shoulder, Ai was still sincerely happy for it.

"It's okay. Now change everyone in the city back to normal. Then I will apologize to everyone with you until they forgive you!"

"Right." Arisu stepped forward promptly and pointed at the still playing video. "Let's transform Ash back first."

"That's impossible... He's currently immersed in a dream that doesn't exist. Everyone is acting out his imagination. Once this dream begins, it won't stop."

"what?"

"How could this happen..." Just as everyone was holding their heads in distress, Rika, who had been staring at the changes on the screen, had an expression that changed rapidly. In order to avoid screaming, she even covered her mouth involuntarily.

"Everyone...!" Rika's strange, muffled and trembling voice attracted attention. Following Rika's gaze, their expressions were not much better than hers.

"What...is this!?"

"Everyone, take out your gifts!"

Everyone kept cheering, saying, "If it's a birthday, how can there be no gifts?"

"Hey, let me tell you a joke, Ash: Ash is always on duty all year round! Yes, it must be me or someone else!"

"Really? You can't be a good comedian if you keep using bad jokes!"

Ash looked helplessly at the president who brought his android wife to the party, but still laughed out loud at this not-so-funny joke.

"This is my bathhouse's VIP card. You can bring six people with you. Ash must come!"

"I see, but I don't have as many family members as you, my eldest brother. Who can I find to round up six people?"

"Come on—a flash of inspiration, it's done! Ash, this is our collection of paintings with you. I drew them all, what do you think?!"

"Of course I believe in your painting skills, Mitsuru!"

Ash took the painting album with great satisfaction and put it in his pocket.

"Ash, we didn't know what to get you, so this limited edition piece of clothing... what's with that expression on your face?! This was picked specially for you by Huo Ge!"

"I do like clothes, but doesn't your family own a clothing store?"

Although he said this, he still honestly accepted the clothes.

"Kabukabuk, this is a robot toy that we all made for you. I hope you like it!"

"You're so kind, so kind!"

Ash patted the other's red shell and accepted the Superalloy Kabuda Titan toy in his hand with a smile.

More and more people offered their blessings, and more and more gifts piled up on Ash.

"Ash, your guitar is so old, please accept mine."

"Hey, big brother, you're too stingy. Come on, I won't be using this White Raven anymore, so you have to ride it for a few laps!"

Until Ash accepted the gift from a pair of robot brothers, the first friends he met on his journey, his heart was filled with the happiness that he had found hard to find in the past.

"How's it going, Ash? Are you happy?"

"Ah, happy, very happy!"

I was able to reunite with friends I thought I would never see again.

All the friends he knew and his favorite heroes came to give him blessings and celebrate his birthday together.

This really is a dream-like scene.

"You no longer have to fight. Your journey is over."

"Well, you're right. If possible, I really want to find someone to spend the rest of my life peacefully with."

Yes, this ending is not bad. The endless battle is over and everyone has found happiness.

I am very happy too!

Very happy.

happy......

Amidst everyone's laughter, Ash raised the signal axe in his hand, took out his signal motorcycle and inserted it into it.
