Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Even if she behaves casually on weekdays, she is still a girl after all. It is impossible for her to go out wearing a skirt with a torn crotch. Of course, there is no such thing as women's skirts in Ash's house (if you don't count the treasures that may be collected in the inventory), so the jeans on Nonoka's legs now are a pair of jeans that Ash lent her.

Wearing other people's clothes is very uncomfortable...

She glanced at Ash inconspicuously. Even though a lot of things had happened before, Ash still looked uninterested and had no interest in anything. Seeing Ash like this, Nonohana breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt inexplicably sad.

It seems that Dr. Ash is not disappointed with my poor performance, but he doesn't react at all... It's better to say that Dr. Ash has been immersed in his own world and is indifferent to everything in the outside world. Isn't this... not good?

As the doctor who saved my life, I naturally want to repay him.

Seeing Ash immersed in his own "boredom", I also want to help him in my heart.

But for Dr. Ash, who seems to be gentle to me, but has quietly built an invisible "wall of his heart", is there any way to help him with the power of "Nonoka" alone?

At least she couldn't find such a feasibility at the moment. When she thought of this, Nonoka couldn't help but clench her fists.

Speaking of which, what am I to Dr. Ash now, and what is my relationship with him?

"Click."

The sound of the door opening brought Hua's gaze back from the distance, and she quickly looked inside.

"Aunt, this is a gift, please accept it."

Maintaining traditional etiquette, she knelt on the tatami and brought the exquisite fruits she had bought to the middle-aged woman opposite her, receiving a peaceful smile on her face.

"It's so rare for Hua to come to my house to visit Yu, but I still want you to prepare gifts or something. I'm really sorry to ask you to spend money."

Yu's mother, Chihiro Teruki, was very glad that her daughter could make such a group of sincere friends. She naturally welcomed Hua's visit with sincerity. When she brought two cups of tea and saw the expensive fruits that Hua brought, a surprised smile appeared on her face.

The papaya here is exactly what Xiaoyu likes...Ah, no, no, it's rare for him to come to visit as a friend, I can't accept it.

Seeing Hua about to push the gift back, he smiled slightly, picked up the gift again and put it aside, saying in a joking manner.

"No, no, it's just a small token of my appreciation for Yu. Aunt Qianxun, please accept it. This amount is not considered a big expense!"

"But, Miss Hua, isn't she...?"

Chihiro had heard from her daughter about the recent bankruptcy of Hua's company, so she was a little hesitant about accepting the gift.

"Haha, that was all in the past!" Hua smiled sheepishly and continued to laugh while fanning herself. "I'm different now than I was before, it's totally fine!"

It's not that he's just trying to be brave again. What Hua said is actually true. After all, no matter whether it's surgery or a series of follow-up treatments, this black doctor has always been arrogant. He kept muttering "all these are considered a favor" and refused to accept a penny from himself. Even if he secretly left some money, he would find that the money had returned to his bag at some point. It's really hard to understand where he got the money to maintain the clinic.

When she turned around and wanted to return the money to her parents, she took it back, saying that she needed it more now that she had no job. In the end, Hua had no choice but to accept it reluctantly and wait for the opportunity to repay Ash and his parents in the future.

"Thank you so much, I'll accept it on your behalf..."

The sound of a wooden door being pulled open interrupted Chihiro's compliments, and the figure that came in attracted the attention of both of them.

The person who came was Ash, who was late because of some unknown reasons. After he just gave Hua a slight signal with his eyes, Ash walked to Hua's side and sat down cross-legged in a comfortable position. He did not treat himself as an outsider at all and his sitting posture was totally impolite, which made Hua beside him feel ashamed.

Hua wanted to remind Ash, after all, he was the one she brought here so he should be careful, but the words were on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't bring herself to speak. It would be more accurate to say that facing Ash who always expressed himself, Hua was getting used to being assimilated.

Although Mr. Ash is a good person, he really... has his own unique personality, hahahaha.

"This is Ash, Mr. Ash!" Before the other party could ask any more questions or Ash could say anything that was too early for this world, Hua hurriedly introduced the nonchalant Ash. "Mr. Ash is a doctor, a very skilled one!"

As if she was afraid that her statement was not convincing, Hua patted her soft chest as big as a steamed bun, and continued to explain it hurriedly until she almost gasped for breath.

"Auntie, you also heard about my health from Yu, right? Look at me now, I'm healthy and completely (hush) fine. I have everything thanks to this doctor!"

"In that case, Dr. Ash is truly amazing!" After hearing Hua's introduction, Chihiro sighed sincerely and her eyes became brighter and brighter. Unconsciously, like Hua, she also used honorifics to address Ash, who looked younger than herself.

"Mortal wisdom." Naturally, Ash had no concept of modesty. The light reflected from his glasses, gently nudged against the bridge of his nose with his index finger, obscured his gaze, revealing only a mysterious smile.

People with talent must be proud. Unless it is for acting, otherwise what's the point of being humble?

"Compared to my talents, this level is just the movement of my fingers. It's nothing besides the time it takes... Let me predict this: nothing in this world can stump me."

He agreed without hesitation, without any modesty at all. I feel like he is truly worthy of being Dr. Ash.

However, it was this confident belief that made his identity more convincing in the eyes of the two.

"That's right! Doctor Ash is so capable, so I think he can definitely help Yu!"

"In this case, Yu—finally!" The hope conveyed by the flower made the middle-aged woman's eyes burst into tears. Excited, she leaned forward and held Ash's hands! "Yu is a good child. She used to work hard and could jump higher than anyone else! But after she fell, she can no longer... So, doctor, please! Please save her this time!"

"Hmph." Ash snorted and pulled his hand away. Although his eyes were slightly narrowed, judging from the curve of his mouth, he was very pleased with the compliments from the other two.

"The extent you describe is simply a natural consequence. Now, take me to see the patient."

Terumi Yu...is that his name? I originally thought he was just another boring, ordinary person.

There's nothing I can do. Who told me to be asked so seriously? Now, let me pay a little more attention~

"What's the situation now?"

"Yes, as for Yu, he used to be staring at the sky and his legs in a daze, but it seems that after that recent near-death experience, he's become a little different."

"Different?" Ash blinked, as if realizing something. "What's the difference?"

Following into the backyard of the house, Ash saw the familiar yellow figure. However, unlike the slightly decadent figure he had seen before, Yu in the wheelchair was now using his hands to support the weight of his upper body, leaving half of himself hanging in the air. As sweat continued to fall, he seemed to be trying to stand up again with his limp legs!

"Ha--" Unfortunately, it didn't last long. She almost rolled to the ground and finally fell back into the wheelchair. "It still doesn't work--well, it's mom and flowers! This is..."

This is... ah, I remember now! It's the weird doctor who came with Hana that day and stared at my legs with such a revealing look!

As if recalling that terrifying look, Yu subconsciously shuddered all over.

【Bonus】Case File 31: Merciless Ash

"Gulu."

Nonoka stood behind the focused Ash, her hand hovering over her chest as she tried to wave to cheer him on. She didn't dare to breathe loudly, but the sound of her swallowing was clearly audible.

There was only one reason why she was so nervous at this moment. Yaxiu in front of her was doing a detailed examination on Yu, and our Miss Precure was afraid that making any noise would affect them.

The man half-knelt in front of the blonde woman, stretched out her plump and slender thighs, pinched the woman's jade feet to free them from her home flat shoes, and casually threw aside the long black silk stockings he had taken off.

At this moment, he was working seriously, a rare occasion, and had no mind for anything else. He was gazing at the soft little feet in his hands with extremely careful eyes, more fervent than usual. His pupils were shrinking, focusing his attention to a transcendental degree. The pulsating veins, bright red muscle tissue and strong bones hidden under the healthy skin, which were invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, were clearly visible to him.

"Yeah, as expected."

"Hmm... um..." Unlike Ash who was always calm, the woman couldn't help but clench her right fist and place it on her chin. With a slightly red face, Yu panted slightly while the other party "played" with her feet.

It was obvious that the machines used to examine people in the hospital before, and there was nothing strange even when other doctors examined me. What's more, I couldn't feel anything in my legs now, so it couldn't be itchy or something.

So if my feet were being rubbed by such a serious gaze at this time, would I be so shy?

Was it because I was embarrassed in front of my best friend? Why did I feel like I was being seen naked? Was it an illusion?

"Ah."

He raised his hand and pinched the base of Yu's thigh, who almost screamed out in surprise. Feeling the warm and tender sensation from his fingertips, the man moved his ten fingers down along the veins, kneading the healthy and plump toes and arches with his hands, but the expression on his face became more and more wrinkled.

"Doctor?" Yu, enduring the shame, mustered up the courage to ask, "What's wrong? Is it a serious problem?"

"No." The way Ash shook his head and the words that followed put Yu Gao's heart at ease. "No matter the outside or the inside, the muscles, nerves, and bones are absolutely fine."

In his eyes, Yu's legs are now so healthy that they can't be any healthier, even healthier than his own legs. At most, there is some fat accumulated in the calves due to not exercising for a long time, which is exactly the same as the result he got by visual inspection.

"The only problem lies with you." Ash loosened his palm and clenched it into a fist, hitting her knee with just the right strength. The nerve reaction made his foot bounce up, and when he was about to kick the man in the chin, the man turned his head and his toes only gently pushed away a few strands of hair on the side of his ear.

"You think you can't stand up, so you look like this!"

"But..." The doctor's warning echoed exactly what Time Flame had said. Even though she'd been prepared, it still left her tongue dry and her mouth tingling. "I've tried so hard to stand up, but I just can't!"

"Then stand up and take a look."

Seeing Ash taking a step back in front of her, Yuyi gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage again, her arms beginning to tense up.

“I…Ah—!”

With trembling hands, under the encouraging gaze of Hua opposite him, he supported himself on the armrests of the wheelchair and slowly stood up. However, he lost balance halfway and the two wheels slid backwards. Without support, Yu fell forward uncontrollably.

"Yo duo~" After all, instead of watching Yu fall face down, Ash reached out his hands under her armpits to catch her, and at the same time rubbed his hands on her head repeatedly.

"I, I!" Those beautiful eyes that once sparkled like stars closed slightly, their long eyelashes stained with tears, and their sockets were filled with tears of a woman's grievance. "I broke my leg once, and even though it healed, I couldn't jump again!"

The frustration and grief accumulated over the years seemed to have found an outlet at this moment. Yu told Ash about his past and the painful secrets that only his friends and family knew.

"But no matter how hard I tried, even if I forced myself to jump, I was always afraid of the moment I would fall, so I would fall without exception!"

Ash held Yu under his arm and watched her calmly as she spoke in disorganized sentences about her past.

Well, this is another example of a mistake made in the present due to the shadow of the past. This is a reasonable explanation.

"My friends who used to be with me also shook their heads at my embarrassing appearance. Alone, I finally gave up jumping again and gave up my dream..." Yu cast a pleading look at him, praying that he could give her a satisfactory answer.

"Am I going to repeat this again this time until I can no longer stand up?"

"Well." But what Ash wanted to say was the complete opposite of the answer she had hoped for. "It's certainly not a bad thing that you're trying hard, but hard work doesn't always guarantee results. Sometimes things just don't work, and it's important to recognize that."

"How could this happen..." The strength that supported her whole body suddenly gave way, and Yu fell backwards into her wheelchair, the bright light in her eyes quickly fading.

"What you lack is your courage, and what you cannot overcome is your own weakness." Without caring about the other party's emotions, Ash added two more slashes and then lowered his head to smell his hand. With a slight frown, he put his hand on the golden hair and touched it, actually touching and rubbing it.

Well, you don’t react at all, you’re such a good kid, oh?

"Wait! Wait wait!"

The pulling feeling coming from behind made Ash turn around, and he saw Nonoka, who was as angry as a pufferfish with dissatisfaction written all over her face.

"What the hell!" Hua immediately expressed her dissatisfaction after pulling Ash out of Yu's earshot. "Even though I don't understand medicine, I understand. Yu can't stand up right now because of psychological reasons, right?"

"So why is Dr. Ash attacking her instead?"

"Forget it. She's already stuck in her own weakness. What good will it do if we continue to encourage her?" Ash shook his head, expressing his disapproval. "Besides, I didn't lie, did I?"

"Mmmmm..." Hua's cheeks puffed up even more after hearing this, making Ash want to poke her out. "But isn't Dr. Ash really amazing? He promised to cure her, didn't he?"

"Yeah, I didn't say it's incurable, so..."

Ash pulled out a blue chainsaw from behind, in front of Hua's horrified eyes.

"I'll just cut off her legs."

[Bonus] Case File 32: Treat the head if you have a headache, amputate the leg if you have a leg pain

"I'll just cut off her legs."

"Just cut off the leg."

"Just cut it..."

It was as if Hua had been hit on the head by a heavy punch from the Terminator when he failed in battle before. At this moment, his eyes were wide open, and his brain, which had stopped thinking, was making a buzzing sound like a hard drive card.

At this moment, her mind was already shocked by the shocking words that Ash said in a calm tone. With her eyes completely OvO, she was unable to listen to Ash's subsequent smug introduction.

"GS-03 Destroyer—ha, Glacier lost this thing and got scolded by that... that guy's called Orange, right? Actually, I just stole it~"

While unconsciously showing off his "criminal experience", Ash put his hands into the blue steel gauntlets, swung his elbow upwards, and the folded electric saw with its silver-gray teeth full of murderous feeling automatically unfolded.

"By generating ultra-high frequency, the sword blade can vibrate at ultra-high speed. It can even generate 200 million ultra-high frequencies in one minute through cyclonic vibration. Even hard materials can be cut in half." As Ash pressed the switch on the handle, a wave that was inaudible to ordinary ears but made the body tremble uncontrollably began to spread with him as the circumference. Ash then made a few clean and neat knife moves, as if even the wind around him would be cut by him.

Well, isn't this a bit too unfair?

"While its heavy weight makes it difficult to hit enemies of equal or greater agility, its cutting power surpasses even the Shining Saber! Ha, that's tokusatsu physics. In other words, there's no need to worry too much about the laws of physics!"

Without noticing the dying look of Hua beside him, Ash raised his hand, put away the saw blade, and was about to walk towards Yu.

"Okay, let's use this chainsaw to chop off Yu's legs... huh?"

After taking only two steps, Ash was stopped by a pink figure who urgently blocked his way. Nonoka opened her arms to block his way, with an aura of "If you want to get to Yu, you have to step over my dead body!" Her extremely complicated expression and eyes showed that she was in a very unhappy and speechless mood at the moment.

"Doctor Ash!"

She spoke the other person's name so solemnly, word for word, that even Ash was forced to pause in his tracks. "What do you mean by chopping off Yu's legs with a chainsaw?! That's—that's her body, her legs!"

What kind of logic is this?! I might be a little clueless, but I'm definitely not stupid. Saw off someone's leg just because Yu couldn't stand up... What kind of third-rate idiot is this? This isn't just buying the casket and returning the pearl, this is Russian-style rescue: if the kidnappers kidnap the hostages, then kill them all!

Without waiting for Ash to say anything else, Hua strode forward, grabbed the man in front of him by the arm and shook him hard.

"Isn't Ash a doctor? Aren't doctors supposed to heal illnesses and save lives? Does Dr. Ash think that this is the only way to go?"

"Sodayo." Ash nodded innocently. "How can I replace her leg with a prosthetic if I don't remove it?"

Huh? Wait, what did you say?

Hana opened her mouth and blinked, momentarily wondering if she had heard correctly.
