Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"But this was all his own initiative... Let's not talk about that. I can't believe that nosy Mana would actually voluntarily stop being the student council president or something like that."

"Nothing surprising." She curled up a curl of hair by her ear and twirled it with her fingers. "It just made me think that since I've always been helping others, I might as well think about myself and make some time for myself."

"Mana, you've really changed."

Putting the phone aside, Regina subconsciously called out to the person beside her.

"Ash—my mouth is dry. Ice cream—I want ice cream! I want cantaloupe flavor."

The voice passed for a while, but no one responded. The only sound that could be heard was the noise from the next room.

"Ash—ah."

I forgot, already.

Regina put her hands behind her head and gently kicked her round-toed leather shoes on the table, spinning herself in her office chair.

"Am I used to it?"

To make herself feel better, Regina picked up the phone again.

"After asking us so many questions, are you okay? I heard from Arisu that a ten-kilometer-long asteroid was flying towards Earth the day before yesterday!"

"It's fine now. I've already blasted it to pieces using Parthenon Mode."

If the dinosaurs of ancient times heard this, they would probably cry.

“So amazing…”

"Yeah, next time I meet Ash, if he dares to bully Pretty Cure again, hmph~ I'll bully him!"

It seemed like they were talking about something funny, and both of them started giggling.

"Mana, do you think we can still meet him?"

"of course!"

Ai looked up at the starry sky above her head. She knew that Ash was probably somewhere at this moment, continuing his journey.

"So, I believe that we will definitely meet again!"

Even in that sea of ​​stars.

------

Unable to speak, unable to see, unable to think, even the act of thinking itself did not exist. It was as if all the meaning of his life had merged into this infinite void. Ash continued to lie in this void that was more familiar than his home.

[The Dark Echo's situation is...excellent, but because of this, we can no longer maintain our usual steady pace.]

[High-level conversion is required... The memory retention is...]

[That's really excessive.]

Looking at the green card in front of him, which was composed of the memories of the girls crying and laughing, the screen opened a window and swallowed it.

While the system was performing preliminary work, three "people" appeared next to Ash without any warning.

"What's going on? Why is there such a sudden complication? Wasn't it agreed that Kamen Rider would be the final hero?"

The first "person" had a decadent voice and some insect-like characteristics in his limbs. The "person" with a dial hanging on his windmill belt seemed to be complaining to the system.

"Are you going to add new elements? Get more people involved? And what's with that Pretty Cure and Precure? They don't fit in with Ash at all."

The second "person"'s voice was full of energy. A gear was spinning on his chest, driving the five colors on his body to rotate continuously. There was a hint of anger in the voice of this "person", as if he was accusing the system of being out of bounds.

“…”

The third "person" said nothing. He just stood there and watched, the colorful timer on his chest emitting a warm light.

[This was indeed a spur-of-the-moment decision on my part.]

"Hey, hey, you're extorting me and raising the stakes at the last minute. That's totally unreasonable!"

[There's nothing wrong with that. Precure is also a legendary hero. If more heroes join in, the results will be even better, right?]

"So you're bringing Pretty Cure along? Never mind. Whatever you say. We'll still stick to the original plan, is that okay?"

[Feel free to do so.]

"So."

The first "person" pressed the dial on his belt, and the windmill on the belt rolled up to open a new path.

"Leave the world of Kamen Rider to me."

The gears in the second "person's" chest suddenly stopped and rotated in the opposite direction, and the door to a new world opened by the gears appeared in front of him.

"Then the Super Sentai world will be mine."

The colored timer on the chest of the third "person" emitted a golden light, opening a golden space channel, and he stepped into it without hesitation.

"Ultra Universe, here I come."

----

Beyond this world, at the intersection of space and time, amidst the wreckage of countless machines and creatures, a massive black iron fortress floats in a place devoid of support. Made of an unknown metal, it appears dilapidated on the outside, yet its structure remains remarkably strong. Its surface is covered in various cracks and scars, and even a single glance brings to mind the horrific battles it has endured.

In the command room deep in the core of the base, a middle-aged man with a weather-beaten face and features as sharp as a knife and an axe looked at the report in his hand with a frown.

"The Knight Universe, the Sentai Universe, and the Ultra Universe—a strange, dark reaction simultaneously appeared between these three universes..."

It's nothing alone, but at the same time it's a bit...

"But the Demon King says nothing's wrong, everything's going on as normal. God-sama's words don't agree with us, and even the Space Guard hasn't noticed anything unusual...hiss."

He habitually put the unlit cigarette to his lips, but when his eyes unconsciously drifted to the photo frame of five people on the table, the man sighed slightly and put the cigarette on the table.

"Could it be that this is all just an illusion... Oh, how is that possible?"

He has experienced this countless times. Every time he thinks it is just an illusion, it won't be long before the facts of the drastic changes jump out and slap him in the face.

I don’t know if it’s because many works like to use this “illusion” routine, making the illusion almost become a flag that is bound to go wrong.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Just as the man was in distress, a young man wearing glasses ran over in a hurry.

"Not Infinity, call me Commander, what's the matter?"

"Found it! We found the reaction of that dark collective you had us monitor!"

The man stood up in an instant.

"Really? It's not a miscalculation like last time!"

"It can't be wrong!" The guy with glasses was panting but still reported desperately. "This time we intercepted the information from the flow of time from a certain world. The accuracy rate is as high as 30%!"

"What are you waiting for? Connect me!" The man put on the red uniform on his back, pressed the full-frequency broadcast button, and waved his big hand forward!

"SCSO Teams One and Two, stand by. Team Three, urgently dispatch!"

"Cross Machine Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3, Unit 4, Unit 5, forward!"

[Tanabata Special: Aida Ai's Happy Day] (6K chapter!)

August 4th is Tanabata Festival, and it's also Ai Aida's birthday. How could I not take advantage of such a good opportunity?

【So this special episode is specially presented! 】

“Haa ...

Because she slept too late last night, when the sunlight woke the woman up through the glass, Ai Aida, who always got up early and went to bed early and paid attention to a healthy lifestyle, now stretched her arms lazily and yawned loudly.

"Ah~Why didn't you call me...ah!"

The biological clock brought about by a healthy lifestyle reminded her that the time when the sun was shining on her butt was approaching the school’s scheduled start time of 8:30.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be late. That annoying guy Ash is so annoying! I've maintained perfect attendance from kindergarten to high school——"

As she was anxiously searching for where her underwear had been thrown, Ai's hands suddenly stopped moving, and she suddenly remembered.

That’s right, I have graduated from high school now, and as soon as this vacation is over, I will report to Waseda University.

That's right.

The hero who once saved the world, DokiDoki Pretty Cure's Cure Heart, targets the daughter of Minister Sosato's Aida family. After crossing yesterday and coming to today, Aida Ai is already an 18-year-old girl.

“Yawn~~~~!”

Half an hour later, Ai, who had just dressed up, still couldn't resist the sleepiness. She yawned and walked down from upstairs until she was awakened by the sound of dishes being prepared from the bottom floor.

Mom and Dad both went on a trip to the Maldives a week ago, which means the sound is of course...

After secretly sticking her head out a little and seeing the target as she expected, Ai Lele quietly approached behind him.

"Wow!"

Not at all frightened by the ghost face that suddenly appeared on his shoulder, Ash put down the plate in his hand without looking back.

"You're not a high school student anymore, so if you're sleepy, you can go back to sleep and I'll bring you dinner."

"No, I'm not a child."

Patting his hands to clear the grease, Ash noticed many things were different about Ai today.

Ai Aida, who is no longer a little girl, has now grown into an extremely iconic beauty. Her dazzling shoulder-length red hair is tied into a ponytail with a bow and held behind her back, which makes her look more heroic without diminishing her beauty. Her slightly flushed cheeks and glowing lips show the fact that she is wearing makeup.

"Hello." Ai gently lifted the hems of her skirt on both sides and bowed to Ya Xing with a slightly naughty look.

Although she is no longer as passionate as she used to be, time has not taken away the cleverness in the woman's eyes.

"Why, you're not just satisfied with being a Pretty Cure, you want to be a princess like Regina?"

"Hey, who says I can't have both?"

"Yes, My Princess. Please take a seat."

Ash pulled the chair out for Ai to sit down, then picked up the bowl with her name on it. She took a deep breath, a satisfied expression on her face.

"Let me guess, pineapple?"

"Yes, you've been complaining that you don't want to eat anything too oily in the morning, so today I made pineapple seafood fried rice, and I added tomatoes, which you like."

"Hoohoo, I love you the most! I'm starting!"

Ash also sat down on the other side, picked up his bowl, and finished the food in the bowl at a signature and rapid speed.

"Mm, still as delicious as ever!" Ash had achieved the perfect balance between the salty and fresh taste of the fried rice and the sweetness of the fruit. Feeling the pineapple and rice blossoming between his lips and teeth, he couldn't help but hold his own smiling face with a beautiful smile. "Delicious Smile!"

"It's like traveling through time... Never mind, as long as you like it. If I can't do this, my uncle won't give me the position of head chef at Pig Tail Pavilion."

It had been four years since Ash came to live in his own house.

Ash, who miraculously survived the war, continues to live in Ai Aida's house. After going through the real trials of life and death, the relationship between the two has reached an indescribable level of preciousness.

However, the two of them did not date. Neither Ash nor Ai Aida confessed their feelings to each other. They just ate, drank and slept together during these four years... Well, the last point was required by their parents to get along well, so they couldn't do it before Ai became an adult.

But even though they have lived together for such a long time, Ai has never really thought that Ash would have the chance to succeed Pigtail Pavilion one day... No, compared to the first time she came here to eat, when a certain hangman squeezed all the seasonings on it and almost beat her father to death, it would be strange to have such an idea!

As a result, after Ash's challenge, his father and grandfather all bowed down to his cooking, and this was just the result of Ash practicing cooking for one month... It can only be said that people cannot be generalized.

"Genius is really good." He put a piece of fruit into his mouth, and the words of love became as sour as his tongue. "When I was a child, I thought the Pig Tail Pavilion would definitely be passed down to me."

"Who told someone to become Japan's first Pretty Cure Prime Minister to make the world a better place?" Ash, who had already grown accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, quipped. "So, to keep your family tradition alive, I'll reluctantly accept the position of head chef."

"I thought someone as proud as you wouldn't be content with being just a town chef."

"That being said, wasting my talents on something like this is quite interesting, hahaha!"

The chat during breakfast allows the two people to see a smile on each other's face that can make them feel at ease for the whole day.

"But..." Putting down the chopsticks in her hand, Ai looked at Ash with a playful look. "You're still calling my dad uncle? Obviously we all..."

"Ahem—" Ash, looking a little embarrassed, picked up the bowl and chopsticks he had finished eating and tilted his head to the side. "Well, we'll talk about this later."

"Haha, I'm so shy!"

Just after Ash threw all the plates into the dishwasher, Ai grabbed his hand and gently rubbed the man's palm.

She leaned on the man like a spoiled child, her red hair teasing the man's touch and making him smell the fragrance of roses.

"Hey, Ash, do you know what day it is today?"
