Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Love has no mercy, she seriously broke through that layer of window paper.

“This kind of thing…!”

Ash blinked his dazed eyes, and when he looked into those sparkling eyes, he couldn't help but look away, dragging his feet and taking a few steps back.

I actually - I - this old man!

"That's right, Ash, you are the pawn being played!"

"Shut up!"

"I don't want to! If I shut up, will you come back, Ash?"

The girl, as dazzling as the sun, made the men hiding in the darkness dare not look directly at her.

"pat-"

As Ash was retreating, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his finger. It turned out that something sharp at hand had cut his fingertip, causing bright red blood to flow. He looked down at the golden sword, then raised it without hesitation and wiped it across his throat.

"Snapped!"

Cure Heart came in front of him almost at the speed of teleportation, waved his hand and knocked the soul steel sword out of the man's hand.

"呲-"

The sharp sword rotated a few times and then inserted into the stone wall on one side. From a distance, the sword edge in the middle just split Ash and Ai Aida, who were looking at each other, into two halves, one on the left and the other on the right. One half was in the shadow cast by the wall, and the other half was under the bright moonlight.

“What are you doing!!!”

Ai Aida was angry, extremely angry.

"The Selfish Progenitor lives in my body. If I die, everything will end. Isn't that good?"

As Ash was talking to himself, he felt himself being lifted from the shadows into the light. Just as he squinted his eyes, he felt a dizzying spin that distorted his perspective.

"Snapped--!"

A crisp sound came from Ash's face, and he was forced to turn his gaze so that he could see Ai Aida with tears in her eyes, her hands raised and her teeth clenched.

After a while, a burning pain came from my face.

"Ash, you're a self-centered, insolent bastard!"

"Fool!"

"What a nuisance!"

"You idiot who doesn't understand girls!"

This was the first time she cursed.

"Do you think this is really okay? Is it really okay for our story to end here? There's obviously still room for improvement, and we haven't done anything yet!"

Ash, who was pulled in front of the other party, widened his eyes. He never thought that Ai would say such words to him.

“Tick-tock…”

He felt a wet feeling on his face, and even though he maintained a strong yet fragile expression, the tears of love couldn't help but drip onto his face.

"Do you think Rikka and I are angry about what you did to us? Yeah! Yes, we are very angry! But do you think Aida Ai would be happy to see you die in front of us? Would Rikka and Arisu be happy? Would Makoto be happy? Or would Aguri and Regina be happy?"

"Ash, will your favorite heroes be happy if you end it like this?!"

Chapter 148 The Battle Is Not Over Yet

"Ash, what on earth are you thinking?"

The red slap marks on his face were still radiating pain to the surrounding area, but more than that, the thought of his own accident made Ash feel shaken deep in his heart and made him feel completely humiliated. It could be said that this was the "ultimate insult" to him!

Even though he was slapped, Ash didn't know whether he felt that he was in the wrong, but now he couldn't even say a harsh word.

Ash has nowhere to retreat.

He was just filled with grief and anger, anger at something he couldn't even explain, or it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was in "impotent rage."

Ai could see the anger in Ash's heart at this moment, but her anger towards him was even greater than his anger towards her!

"Ash! I've always really liked the way you were badass yet powerful. You helped us grow stronger, and you even worked with us for Regina. I always thought you were such an amazing person!"

"But in reality, is the person I admire just a shameful guy who can never stand up again after being hit?"

"If this is all you are capable of, I'd be so disappointed!"

This sentence instantly provoked Ash to glare at Ai, but he was met with an unflinching gaze from the other party.

"You know, if you just curse out loud, your mood will improve!"

This time, she wouldn't be afraid of him.

“I…I!”

The voice that should not have hesitated seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.

"Ash, the battle is over."

Their previous words seemed to still echo in my ears.

This was supposed to be a sentence used to confuse Ash into staying in the past, but it actually sounded to him like something they would say to him.

What am I fighting for? Is it to collect those dark echoes for the System? If so, is my fight over?

[Aren’t you the one who knows this best?]

“Crack…”

The burning flames burned up the last piece of ruins, and the home in Ash's memory, the home that he didn't like very much but missed inexplicably, finally left no trace.

There's nothing worth lingering on anymore. Now that everything has happened, what I have to do next is...

"No, my battle is not over until I fulfill my agreement with Him."

"I have to keep fighting."

No matter who the enemy is, even if it's myself!

Seeing Ash regaining his energy while constantly talking to himself, a relieved smile appeared on Ai's face.

"It seems that no matter whether you are an ordinary person or a genius, you will all dream."

Hearing Ash's chuunibyou speech, Ai couldn't help but twitch her lips and tremble her shoulders, looking like she was having a hard time holding it in. At a time like this, you shouldn't say such big words... But this actually makes me feel more like Ash!

"I don't want to be lost in dreams, Mana, pull me up."

"Ash, when you ask for help, you should act like one. What should you say when you ask for help?"

Looking at the girl who was smiling as she propped up her legs and leaned her face in front of him, Ash also showed a mocking smile.

Haha, really, as soon as I give you some color, you start a dyeing factory.

"Aida Ai-san, could you please pull me up?"

"Here, you have to hold a woman's hand elegantly, the way a gentleman would—wow!"

He suddenly grabbed Ai's outstretched hand and stood up. Ash almost fell over and was pulled down by her.

After hitting his chest in annoyance, the two people who were leaning against each other separated again. Ash didn't look back at the ruins behind him. The two of them ran towards the outside world.

"Mana, I want to ask you to promise me one thing."

"what?"

Crossing his arms in defense, he smashed the glass-like barrier in front of him into pieces. The moment he passed through the world wall, Ash whispered another request to the people around him.

After returning to the real world, Ash quietly shook off his hand from hers, and the four people and the dog who had been waiting for a long time hurried forward and surrounded them in a circle.

"That's great!" Excited, Rikka practically flew over and hugged Ai tightly. "Mana, it's great that you were able to do this!"

"Wait, Rikka, you're exaggerating. I originally believed Ash could get away with it!"

"I know...but I still want to give Prince a hug." Even as she said this, the blue-haired girl hugged her best friend a little tighter.

"Ash~" On the other side, Arisu, with a bright smile, came up to him and asked indifferently, "Have you thought it through and understood your own situation?"

"That's right, quickly reflect on what excessive things you have done!" With his hands folded in front of his chest, ACE next to him also joined the condemnation.

"Really?" Ash held his head in his hand, a headache aggravating him. "I didn't come out here to accuse you of anything. Besides, who can guarantee whether this is reality or just another dream?"

"Snapped!"

Ash, who was covering his face, raised his head and shook it to one side, and there was another bright red palm print on the other side of his face.

"Hmph!" Makoto, having vented his anger for himself and everyone else, put his hands away, snorted, and turned his head away. "Do you understand? Is this a dream or reality?"

"Hiss—" Ash gasped, his tone venomous towards Makoto. "Don't think I won't teach you a lesson now!"

"Then come on! Just like you did before, insult me ​​as you please!"

"I--"

Afterwards, Arisu and Aguri quickly joined the battle with a laugh, and it took a while to successfully separate the two.

"Tsk, I won't bother with you right now." Indeed, Ash had something more important to do right now. "Where's that bastard who dared to touch my memories?"

"it's me."

Without waiting for others' explanation, Marlowe, who had been silent all the time, walked out from Ai's feet and looked at the man who was so close to his master with mixed feelings.

Ash couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He just cursed casually, but he didn't expect that it was really a dog.

"Marlowe..."

Ai called out her dog's name, her voice filled with worry, but she didn't say anything and didn't stop Ash or Mallow. She just looked at the two of them nervously. If possible, she hoped that no one would get hurt, but it seemed unlikely at the moment.

Ash lowered his head and looked at the white puppy. After a while, he suddenly looked away and snorted in disdain.

"Hmph, I'm not interested in a fooled minion like you. Where is the boss who truly awakened your intelligence and gave you power?"

"it......"

Speak of the devil, and here comes the devil. Just when they were discussing the key point, the place they were standing on suddenly shook. Everyone's eyes turned to the source, and saw a worn clarinet wrapped in energy flying out from the whale's heart. What's even more surprising is that this clarinet can even speak.

"Matthew, you, the betrayer, disappoint me so much. You clearly swore to eliminate our regrets and avenge those who were forgotten by us. That's why you gained power!"

"No!" Marlowe, who was not deceived this time, answered firmly: "I am not Matthew, I am Marlowe!"

"Then you should—"

"Huh?"

The conversation between the two was interrupted by a hidden message. Ash was holding a steel pipe that he had casually removed from a whale. He was knocking on things at hand, making crisp sounds, and walking towards it step by step.

"So you are the mastermind behind this."

Chapter 149: What is the method to travel to the future?

The clarinet noticed this person. He was obviously just a human, but when he saw him walking towards him with an expressionless face, dragging the steel pipe, he began to feel an emotion he had never felt before.

"What do you want to do, I—!"

"What do you do to me?"

"I...."

"I don't care. You either run away or wait there."

No matter what the other party said, Ash was too lazy to listen and just retorted.

"Dang, Dang, Dang——"

The steel pipe collided with the soles of his feet and the metal around him, and his hands kept ringing like bells.

There is only one thing I want to do now, and that is to make you die, a horrible and inhumane death!!!

"you....."

It's clearly just a human, but as a collection of thoughts, it actually feels fear towards a human?!

Impossible, absolutely impossible?!
