Now let me accumulate some "motivation" for you. If you want to hate me, you can hate me slowly when the time comes.

“That’s great.”

Looking at the scene in front of her, Lei felt so happy sincerely.

"What's so great?" Erika circled around Lei with a suspicious expression, making sure that the smile on her face was completely genuine.

"Lei..." Looking at the two people whose relationship was gradually getting better, Erika leaned over to Lei's ear and whispered, "I thought you would be...jealous?"

After all... Lei, didn't you like the store manager so much that you were talking nonsense when you first met? Now the store manager and Sister Lily have a good relationship, so your relationship is over again, isn't it?

"Why would you be jealous?" Lei took off her glasses and wiped away tears of joy. "The only person who can help Lily-san right now is the store manager, right?"

"So the store manager was able to heal Lily-san's inner wounds. I can't express how happy I am for them!"

As she said these words that stunned Erika, she looked at Ash who was whispering to comfort Lily. The smile on Lei's face was absolutely from the heart, and there was no trace of haze in her cherry-colored eyes.

Mr. Ash...In the beginning, I was indeed fascinated by the store manager, by Mr. Ash's handsome face and the mysterious aura he exuded.

But as I got to know Mr. Ash better, I realized that the real Ash was actually like this... I was actually a little disillusioned with the image of him as a handsome guy in my mind. But it was also because of this that I could interact with Mr. Ash so easily. There was no barrier between us and we could joke around like friends, which brought us closer.

Every time they encountered setbacks, he offered his support to the Pretty Cure as he said. Lei always remembered this gratitude in her heart.

Now, recalling his previous encouragement to her and seeing how he comforted the sad Sister Lily, Lei was sure that she had not misjudged him.

This unconventional yet reliable store manager, Mr. Yaxiu, I really admire you! I, for you...

"Lei, you are really amazing....I admire you in every way."

But Lei didn't intend to admit defeat. Without anyone knowing, Lei secretly made up her mind. In order not to lose to Yueying Lily, the girl's loving heart began to cheer her on!

"So, Erika!" Lei suddenly grabbed her best friend's hand, startling her.

"I want Erika to help me!"

"Help, help with what?"

Faced with Erika's bewildered expression, the somewhat embarrassed Lei uttered a slightly shy voice: "Well, I, I want a stronger change that can be felt by others. Since Erika knows more about fashion, please."

"Hmm..." Erika opened her eyes wide, her mind went blank and she thought for a while but to no avail. Then she gave up thinking and gave her best friend a thumbs up.

"Oh! I don't understand at all, but since it's my relatives and friends' request, I, Erika, will certainly accompany you to the end!"

Seeing the friendly interaction between Rei and Erika, and how they were excited about something, even Ash couldn't help but smile.

Such a wonderful time, whether real or fake, has its meaning.

I believe that this period of time will be preserved more in his memory.

"The relationship is really good."

With an inexplicable sigh, Ash poured the brewed coffee into four cups, and his nimble hands drew beautiful latte art on the golden light brown.

The coffee that Ash brewed with perfect timing smelled very tempting and light, but when the three women smelled this unusual flavor, they all began to show embarrassed expressions.

"Here it comes! I've specially concocted this secret recipe, the 'Power of Mars' premium coffee series. Come on, drink this and you'll be completely refreshed!"

"Mom will be worried. I'll go back first." Lily picked up her handbag, adjusted her mood, pushed open the door with a normal expression, and walked out with stiff steps.

"I...ah, the table seems dirty. I'll go wipe it first." Pointing to the solid wooden table top that looked like a brand new one because no customers had come for a long time, Erika, who was lying with her eyes open, wiped the table randomly with a rag.

"Me, me!" Seeing others leaving one after another, Lei quickly put on his glasses and let out a panicked "Ah-woo, Ah-woo" sound.

"I, I'm going to the bathroom first!"

They had already understood the taste of Martian coffee.

Seeing the Pretty Cures who had been so close to him scattering like birds and beasts, Ash took a sip of his coffee and couldn't help but sigh.

"People's hearts are scattered, and it's hard to lead them—ugh!"

He put down the remaining half cup of coffee, and the feeling in his mouth made him stick out his tongue and widen his eyes.

"It's so hot! I forgot the time... Whew."

Tasting the coffee again, feeling the extremely bitter and mellow taste on the tip of his tongue like a spark, Ash's brows relaxed.

What? It's obviously delicious.

Chapter 28 A Character Like the Sun

In the base camp of the Desert Apostles, a Snark chirped as it recounted what it had seen to its companions. The Snark that was chatting with it opened its eyes wide and said, "How could you not call me for such a thing?" After saying that, it immediately dropped its work of standing guard and followed the other Snark to rush to that place.

After hearing this, more and more Snatchers gathered in the open space at the center of the base. Not only Snatchers, but also Scorpion Lina and Cobra Shaka, and even Dark Pretty Cure, were there. With the exception of Dr. Shabak, who was away on business, the entire Desert Apostle force was gathered here.

Unfortunately, the purpose of all members gathering here is not to discuss the "Operation to Defeat Pretty Cure" which is in line with the behavior of villains. They are here to witness the "duel" between Ash and Spider Carjeel.

Because of Spider Cargill's own fighting habits, he has proposed a duel with Ash many times, but has been rejected many times. Until now, the annoyed Ash finally accepted his challenge in a special way.

"Huh, that's right! Timmons, this is the feeling of a fierce fight. I, Spider Cargill, will never lose in terms of momentum!"

Staring closely at the fierce battle in front of him, facing this fierce battle scene that seemed to project his soul there, Spider Cargill's blood boiled!

"Momentum alone won't bring victory. If you want to defeat me, even 20,000 years is too early!"

Ash was not to be outdone, he also poured his passionate soul into this field!

The battlefield they were paying attention to, the target of everyone's attention, was a fluorescent screen. Two wires extended from the corners of the screen and were connected to two handles, one in the hands of two excited people.

"Is this what humans call a game?" Scorpion Lina turned her head and saw a black cassette inserted in the screen with the meaningless words "Kamen Rider Super Super Super Climax Hero: Danrito Director's Cut" written on the cassette.

"After all, our new guy just won't agree to fight Jiaji because he thinks it's too much trouble." Watching the two masked figures jumping up and down on the screen, Cobra Shaka also became interested. "So he said he wanted to decide the winner through a game. That's interesting."

"..." The beautiful dark girl, who had kept one eye closed, said nothing and just stared at Ash's excited back.

"!" At this time, Spider Cargill was operating his own character wholeheartedly. He had originally disdained the game that Ash mentioned, until he actually started to try it, he couldn't stop, especially the [Kamen Rider Cross-Z] he was operating now, the character named Manjo Ryuga, the performance of blindly attacking was really to his taste.

It can be seen from the knight slot at the top of the screen that the advantage is now on Spider Cargill's side. He is so excited that he can't help but shout out the lines along with the character.

"Strength to pull mountains and rivers, to burn souls!"

"I advise you not to say that my lines are good, after all, something bad will happen." He hit the handle continuously, controlling his [Kamen Rider Black rx] to do a backflip to avoid the opponent's sound sword attack, and put some distance between himself and the opponent who entered the combo mode.

"Hmph, running away is a warrior's shame and will be the root cause of your defeat. Didn't you notice that my energy is full?" Spider Cargill saw the flaw exposed by his opponent and there was no reason not to take this opportunity. He calculated the timing and immediately pressed the button to switch forms.

"[Cross-Z Magma!]"

"Oh, come on!" Seeing that Spider Cargill had the upper hand, Scorpion Lina was even more excited than him and started cheering him on. "Teach this arrogant newcomer a lesson!"

"I can do it without you telling me!" Spider Cargill, who had just transformed into a lava dragon, did not let go of a moment and immediately pressed the ultimate move. The dragon on the screen turned the joystick on his waist, and the orange knight with eight lava dragons spewing out from behind kicked towards the dark knight who had just stood up from the ground.

"[Ready go! Volcanic Attack!]"

As long as the hit is successful, RX's knight gauge will be emptied instantly, but Ash, who is in a desperate situation, reveals a confident smile.

"I'm invincible now! Timmons, you lose!"

"You never know!"

Just as the kick hit RX's chest, a deep male voice rang out from the game's narration.

“[Just then, something incredible happened!]”

"What!?"

At the same time, the moment Ash pressed the button on his hand, RX turned into a blue light and disappeared before the knight's kick. Cross-Z Magma, which was kicked in the air, twisted its foot and fell to the ground.

"You don't understand the characteristics of a knight as well as I do!"

RX, who had transformed into Bio Knight, landed behind his opponent, and after transforming into RX again, he placed his hand on his belt and formed a hilt of a sword.

"Spinning Sword!"

There was no suspense after that. Seeing Cross-Z fall to the ground and explode after being stabbed in the kidney by a spinning sword on the screen, Spider-Cargill took a deep breath and put the handle back.

"I told you not to mention Longwo's lines."

"Chichi-chichi!" Snatch, who supported Spider-Cargill, looked dejected, while Snatch, who supported Ash, cheered loudly. The Dark Pretty Girl, however, turned her gaze away and stopped paying attention.

After all, isn't this the natural outcome?

The man closed his eyes and began to ponder his own shortcomings in this battle, ignoring Ash's strange words. "Am I the one who underestimated the enemy? Timmons, I will never lose next time!"

"Then we'll talk about it next time~ Then as agreed, this time the battle with the Pretty Cure will be left to me."

“Let’s go together.”

"of course."

Looking at the other guys eager to try, Ash generously left the cassette here. A rare doubles game gave Ash, who had been a little tense recently, a good break. It was time to go find trouble with the little girls~

"Hmm~ No matter how hot the magma is, it can't compete with the sun's brilliance."

The sun?

Where is the Pretty Cure who is as warm and dazzling as the sun?

------

"[Dominate up! Batta! Genomix!]"

After being strengthened with the Locust Seal, Timmons' legs quickly mutated, evolving from calves into reverse joints under the horrified gaze of Pretty Cure.

"So, so scary!" This form was a bit too stimulating for Rei and Erika, who were already afraid of insects.

"The terrible thing is yet to come!"

He chased the two men and jumped into the school playground. The mutated limbs of his legs allowed him to easily bypass the attacks of the two men. He kicked his legs on their abdomens, and with the enhanced strength of his legs, he kicked the two men away.

"It hurts...but!"

The two men, who were gradually able to endure the pain, stood up, looked at each other, and instantly came up with the idea of ​​luring the enemy out of the school first.

"They ran away." Looking at the backs of the two people flying away, Ash understood what they meant.

Well, I'll obey you this time, okay?

"who are you?"

Suddenly, someone's sharp voice was heard from behind. Ash turned his head away, thinking that no one would be in school today.

Seeing the spider-man with locust-like legs turning his face towards him, Mingtangyuan Wumu, who was facing a formidable enemy, immediately adopted his own style of fighting stance.

"Ouch."

Looking down at the brave brown-haired student in front of him and the posture of his hands, Ash's face under the mask showed a rare expression of interest.

"You didn't run away? Then this is really interesting."

Chapter 29: Exciting Fighting

Today is a rest day, and logically no student would want to stay in school, but Itsuki is different. She accidentally left some things at school, and when she returned to school to get her things, she ran into the scene of Kamen Rider fighting Pretty Cure.

Now, as the current senior disciple of the Mingtangyuan Ryu and the designated next successor, when she saw this "Spider Monster" chasing after the Pretty Cure, even Mingtangyuan Goki, who had been tempering her body and mind with martial arts for ten years, felt cold sweat on her forehead because of the pressure from the opponent.

Faced with this aura of choosing anyone to devour, Wu Mu instinctively wanted to turn around and run away immediately.

But, you can't show your weakness in front of such a person!

Wu Mu, who was standing in front of Ash, was wearing a pure white dojo robe. When he mustered up the courage to stand opposite him, the fear in his heart miraculously disappeared, leaving only the tranquility he felt in the dojo.

Ash saw all of Goki's performance and could smell the fear from this brown-haired boy who was posing as he was. But the sight of him standing up despite being afraid made Ash nod involuntarily.

His feet are firmly planted, and his hands are positioned to show he's ready for a fight, not just for show. He seems to be a martial artist.

He actually has the courage to fight me. He doesn't look like an ordinary passerby. It's interesting!

I just heard Lei say that she wanted to bring her friends over to play, so it seems like it should be this person, right?

In this case, did I find a rough diamond?

Ash was in a playful mood and quickly forgot about his original goal of testing the current strength of the two Pretty Cure girls.

"Kain, undo the locust gene fusion."

Looking down at people is surprisingly tiring.

"Okay, but boss, please stop saying weird things."

"What do you mean by weird? I just said what I wanted to say."
