Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"I just like it. I don't care what others say, even you."

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to lecture you about this, and—"

Ai turned over and lay back on the bed. Seeing that Ash didn't protest this time, she lay on the bed and unconsciously stepped on the pillow with her little feet, tilting her head and smiling sweetly at Ash who was sitting at the table.

And I think it’s good to be a little childish. This kind of Ash doesn’t seem as distant as an adult, and there is no generation gap between him and us.

"Yeah, but it wouldn't be bad if Ash stayed in Dabei City forever! And since we have a school festival coming up soon... oh, I forgot Ash can't participate since he's not a student."

"But speaking of celebrations, it's definitely the fireworks festival later on!" Ai, her feet bouncing, waved her hands, seemingly describing the grandeur of the fireworks she remembered. "Usually, we'd all wear yukata and go to the temple fair together, scooping goldfish, playing with balloons, and even enjoying cotton candy. It was so much fun!"

"Fireworks..." Ash really wanted to say that he had seen even grander fireworks, such as a star-splitting explosion, but after thinking about it, he decided not to discourage her.

"And then there's Christmas. In the past, Rikka, Arisu, and I would decorate the Christmas tree together to celebrate. This year, Makoto, Aguri, Regina, and Ash will be joining us. It's really exciting!"

"Christmas? I don't really want to..."

The two chatted idly like this until Ash's distracted eyes slipped to the wedding dress hanging in front of the cabinet door in another room.

"Is this the one Mana wears in the future?"

She ran over and took off the wedding dress, carefully placing it in her arms.

"Why, they are very beautiful and a good match, right?"

"Mana, do you want to wear it?" Ash saw through her little thoughts at a glance. Speaking of it, it seemed that the women he had met in other worlds, no matter how old they were, all had a strange yearning for wedding dresses like Mana now.

Ash guessed that this was probably the same as a man's dream of transforming into Ultraman once in his life.

"I want to wear it, isn't that natural?" Her fingers gently rubbed the gauze between her fingers, and when she thought of her future self, her eyes were full of longing.

"But a friend whose name I can't remember once told me about wedding dresses."

No longer obsessed with fighting, and having calmed down, Ash talked much more than before.

For example, the words he was now teaching to Ai seriously attracted the girl's attention.

"Mana, you have to remember that a wedding dress can only be worn by the bride." Except for those moments when they pretend to get married and go fishing.

"Then every woman in the world can only be the most beautiful bride at the happiest moment of her life. In other words, if she is not happy, she cannot become a bride."

Ai, hugging her wedding dress, looked into Ash's eyes before nodding solemnly.

"That's right, with everyone. Even Ash is by my side now."

"I am definitely the happiest person in the world who deserves to wear this wedding dress!"

......

"Gulp." Ash swallowed the saliva in his throat, but he still felt so hot.

"Stare--" Looking at Ash's burning gaze, no matter how Ai adjusted her mentality, her heart kept beating.

Ash certainly didn't have that kind of thought, but he wasn't stupid either. As for Ai Aida, she was even less so. They saw each other's figures reflected in their eyes, and the same idea came into their minds at the same time, and they wanted the answer to this idea right now!

So, speak out now!

"Mana, I want to ask you, how do you treat me..."

"Um, Ash, do you want to see me in a wedding dress?"

The two blurted out the words almost at the same time, however, before they could get the other's answer, an explosion outside the window shattered the false mirror of peace and brought them back to reality.

"What are you doing!"

Mana quickly put the wedding dress on the bed and went to the window with Ash, only to see a horrifying scene.

A giant monster with a dark heart on its chest—undoubtedly the Pretty Cure's enemies, the selfish monsters—has appeared! And it's not just one or two, but an overwhelming swarm of them, turning the streets into a complete mess!

Ai put on her shoes and ran downstairs. The others had already started discussing countermeasures.

"What's going on? Where did these selfish monsters come from?!"

"I'm afraid someone brought all the selfish monsters from the Poker Kingdom to Earth!" Regina, who has been staying in the Poker Kingdom recently, quickly came to this conclusion.

"But who's controlling these selfish monsters?" Thinking that even the former boss of the Selfish Organization had betrayed her and defected to Pretty Cure, Rikka quickly came up with the only solution. "So, are Ira and Mamo the ones behind this?"

"It doesn't seem like them." Regina glanced at Ash. "I've seen them before. They said Earth was too dangerous and they couldn't stay there any longer, so they fled to another planet."

"Ha, it's a success?" Ash exclaimed in shock, not expecting his former subordinates to have such a development. However, when he thought that they hadn't had time to do anything really bad before he achieved a high-intensity level 80 and didn't do anything, he thought about it and decided to forget it.

"In that case, the enemy should be that guy... He really never learns his lesson." Thinking of Levi, whom he had let escape in the past, a dangerous light flashed in Ash's eyes.

Amid the exclamations of others, he pushed open the door of the Pigtail Pavilion and walked towards the chaotic "battlefield" alone.

"Wait, Ash, are you planning on being alone again?!"

A strong wind blew against Ash, making his black leather coat rustle. The man turned his head slightly, leaving only his side profile to the girls.

"This is all because you did unnecessary things and made me feel unnecessary emotions."

"Also, don't try to stop me. I have to put an end to the feud with that bastard."

Chapter 162: The world is full of tenderness

[Ash, you said such harsh words to them, are you planning to atone for your sins alone, like you did before?]

"Hmph, this is my revenge. If you have other ideas, you can think whatever you want!" Even if there are no props for transformation at the moment, Ash doesn't care. At this point, his fighting spirit will not be reduced by this level.

"Since this matter was caused by me, then I should also end it. This is perhaps what makes my heart palpitate, don't you think so?"

Ash casually threw the screen in front of him behind him, twisted the accelerator, and rode away amid the roar of the motorcycle and the shouts of the girl behind him. Looking at Ash's back, the screen that fell to the ground also popped up new words after a while [......].

[Ash, no matter what you are pursuing.]

[Peace, battle, hope, despair, whichever it is.]

[I will always be with you.]

"What is Ash planning to do again?"

Makoto was furious. Seriously, I finally got accepted, but you just can't learn to talk properly? Why did you have to do this?

"No, MakouP, I believe him!"

As the backbone of the girls, Ai took the initiative to stand up for Ash. Knowing that Ash was no longer as mischievous as before, she could vaguely sense the truth in his words.

"Me too." He called his partner Lance to his hand and transformed it into a transformation mobile phone. Arisu took out the heart ornament and prepared to attack.

"I believe Ash will come too."

And now, it's our turn!

"Precure Love Link!"

The crystal realm in her hand transforms into a harp mode with even greater power. A pair of white wings spread out from behind the Pretty Cure, and they soar into the sky towards the enemy group!

These selfish monsters are simply walking disasters. Human weapons are useless against them. The buildings that humans rely on for survival are as ridiculous as walls made of cream in front of monsters bred by self-centeredness and evil thoughts.

"In myself!"

Evil monsters continue to destroy the city, and innocent citizens scream and flee from their burning homes.

"Stop it!"

Makoto shouted angrily in the air, raised his hand knife, and fell from the sky to split the selfish monster in front of him into two halves, purifying it completely into the appearance of the spiritual heart.

At this moment, the selfish monster is no longer their match!

"Ah, it's Pretty Cure!"

The rescued citizens were pleasantly surprised to find that it was the warrior in the urban legend who defeated the enemy and saved them. The citizens surrounded Makoto who had fallen to the ground and thanked her for saving their lives.

"It's just like the Poker Kingdom back then..."

The past events that he had witnessed came to his mind. When the Poker Kingdom was invaded by the Selfish King, the citizens had a selfish desire to be saved when they were fleeing for refuge, so they were all killed by the Selfish King and turned into selfish monsters.

"It's okay, Makoto, we're here this time!" Aiye landed beside Makoto, patting her shoulder in encouragement. "As long as we Pretty Cure are here, we'll never let Earth become the next Poker Kingdom!"

"Yeah!" Makoto regained his confidence and stood up to face the wave of selfish monsters together with Ai.

"We will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty!"

"Everyone, now is not the time to talk about this, let's go to shelter!"

While the others were clearing out the selfish monsters around them, Arisu led everyone towards the underground shelter.

"Hey, so there's a shelter of this level underground in Dabai City?!" After smashing a selfish monster into diamond stardust, Rikka looked at the shelter entrance that appeared on the roadside with a look of surprise.

"Yes~ Because I had already considered the possibility of such a situation, I asked Dad to develop a complete evacuation plan."

After answering the call from the housekeeper and hearing that the evacuation plan was functioning normally, Arisu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's amazing! How much would this cost? At least several million!"

"It's okay. It only cost a few billion dollars. After all, the Yotsuba family's construction team is still very powerful."

Not to mention Rikka who was once again shocked by the strength of the Yotsuba Group, Arisu still had a heavy heart in her heart.

Although she had done her best to minimize the number of victims, there would always be casualties if this invasion was not defeated quickly.

Determined to defeat the enemy, the group headed in the direction with the most monsters, and sure enough, they found Levi, the new cadre that Ash had mentioned, in the center of the enemy group.

"Go, selfish monsters!" Levi waved his hands like a madman, his eyes flashing with a strange red light. "Turn the human world into a completely self-centered place. Give all your evil energy to me, the King of Selfishness!"

"Will you succeed?!"

Clenching their fists, the girls fluttered their wings behind them and rushed towards Levi.

He twisted the handlebars suddenly and stopped the car sideways in the middle of the road with a sharp sound of tire friction. A pile of collapsed buildings blocked his way. Now, when he looked up, he could see the overwhelming army of selfish monsters.

The monsters obscured the original color of the sky, shrouding the entire world in darkness. Buildings that were easily destroyed like tofu, burning forests, the entire Dabei City presented a scene of the end of the world.

"Really? This is the final episode, isn't it?"

The energy of the Dark Team's gears had long been exhausted, which meant that Ash's idea of ​​summoning several teams to help him was gone. Looking around, all he saw was the mess left behind by the selfish monster.

Ash guessed that there would soon be a disaster-like situation where everyone was pushing each other and the ugly nature of human nature would appear. After all, this world did not have a world-class organization like TPC to provide disaster relief. It was understandable that people would do anything to survive under the drive of survival.

As the saying goes, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth... Is this how it is used?

"Hey everyone, this way, we can take shelter here. Children and women go in first, men, come with me!"

Just as Ash was feeling melancholy, he was interrupted by a sound coming from afar. He ran over and saw that countless citizens were in an orderly manner, supporting each other and preparing to go to the shelter for refuge.

"Thank you. My mother's foot was hit by a beam just now."

"It's okay! It's precisely because of critical moments like this that we have to help each other!"

"That's right. I heard that these monsters became like this because of their selfishness. We can't lose to them!"

"Yes, believe in the Pretty Cures. They will definitely defeat these monsters and save the world!"

Listening to these citizens encouraging each other to stay optimistic, it was Ash's turn to be embarrassed as he was slapped in the face.

"Really? It's because of this amazing world that such a gentle hero can appear."

Or is it because of the appearance of a gentle hero that the world has been changed into the remarkable place it is today?

"Oh, that's really unlike me."

Perhaps it is because I have encountered such a fascinating hero that I can never escape the fate of sentimentalism.

"Be careful, I'll help you—ah, monster!"

A selfish monster suddenly broke in, causing the crowd to scream. Facing the monster that rushed towards them while shouting "Self", the young man in school uniform blocked the old man he was supporting behind him with a look of fear on his face.

But after waiting for a long time, the expected horror did not come. He opened his tearful eyes in fear, and what caught his eyes was a man in black slung over a motorcycle with a Gatling gun in his hand that was almost smoking.

"Yo, I was just planning on doing something nice, and I guess you guys just happened to need some help, right?"

Chapter 163: The Gentle Person Awakened Because of This Love

"Thank you, young man!" The people who were escorted all the way to the shelter expressed their gratitude to Ash with tears in their eyes. "You are truly a hero!"

"No, I'm not a hero..." Being thanked by so many people was a very rare scene for Ash. He was not used to it and had to stamp his feet continuously to get rid of the numb feeling.

At this moment, an old man suddenly broke away from the team and walked stubbornly towards the selfish monster with his crutches. Fortunately, he was stopped by Ash first.

"Let me go, I've lost my granddaughter, she's still over there—"
