Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Wu Mu launched a series of combination punches at the "masked man" in front of him. He almost gave up on defense and continued to attack his imaginary opponent.

"Do you really like the martial arts you are learning?"

"I don't see any affection in your eyes, only the numbness of practicing a routine."

Was my previous failure because I simply couldn’t face my own heart?

Wu Mu's constantly moving feet paused, and the "masked man" immediately launched a counterattack. The lion-like claws made Wu Mu turn her head to dodge again. However, this time the result was even worse than the last time. The illusory claws went straight through her throat. If it was a real fight, she would have been dead.

"no!"

Wu Mu took two steps back, sweat dripping down his back because of his previous mistake.

The more she thought about it now, the more confused she became, but the more she resisted it, the more she would think about it.

I can't calm down at all!

The masked man standing in front of her blocked her high kick with his arms, leaned over and kicked the only support with a sweeping kick, and Wu Mu's body responded with the sound.

“Ah—I…”

What should I do?

"What's wrong? Are you giving up so easily?"

“No…”

Grabbing Ash's outstretched hand, Goki sat up from the ground.

"I have to try harder to...wait!"

Was I being pulled up by an imaginary person?

Wu Mu clenched his hands towards the void, and it seemed as if he had really grasped something.

"Well, I saw you gesturing at the air, and since I didn't want to interrupt you, I actually performed it with you twice."

"you!"

Wu Mu sat down on the ground again with a look of horror on his face. He pointed at the smiling man with trembling fingers and kept backing away.

"I'm not imagining things."

"It's true~"

Chapter 35 I Sell Myself

"Good afternoon—oh!"

Before Ash could finish his greeting, he quickly turned his head to avoid the incoming water cup.

"Ah ah!!!"

The shameful and angry memories that she didn't want to recall came to her mind again. Wu Mu screamed and threw everything she could at the man. Now she no longer had the heroic spirit she had shown before, and the expression on her face was only the unbearable panic.

The girl leaned against the wall. Besides the fear of the invincible enemy, what made her feel embarrassed was the shame that made her feel at a loss.

There weren't many things for Wu Mu to throw in the empty room. He put the cup, buckle and other items in his hand on the ground, and spread out his empty hands as if to show his sincerity.

"If this is your way of saying hello, it's quite impressive indeed, Itsuki."

"Don't use such an intimate name!"

Rather than feeling that she was having trouble adapting, Wu Mu actually wanted to ask him how he had the nerve to greet her as if nothing had happened.

The feeling of humiliation that surged in the girl's heart made her mind go blank. Apart from subconsciously resisting, she had no idea what to do.

Even if she had been dressed as a boy since she was little, it didn't mean she had truly become a man. The other person's actions of touching her without caring about her feelings directly shattered the softness of her feminine heart.

I didn't expect to be violated by such a man...

"Don't come over here, otherwise! Otherwise——"

"Oh~ Interesting! I wonder what would happen otherwise?" Ash said with an interested expression as he approached the now-impoverished Goki. "If not, are you going to call someone?"

"I--"

Itsuki was speechless for a moment. She knew that the person in front of her could transform into a terrifying spider-type Kamen Rider, and no human being could compete with him except for Pretty Cure, not to mention that her friends, Rei and Erika were still here.

No, no matter what, we can't involve them!

Having made up his mind, Wu Mu did not retreat anymore. Instead, he mustered up the courage again and took a fighting stance with a determined expression on his face.

"No matter what you want to do, I will never give in or do as you wish!"

"Okay, okay, that last time was just an accident. I didn't mean it that way anymore."

Ash's words made Wu Mu even more angry. She didn't expect that the other party would blame the incident on an accident. It was really shameless!

"Don't be angry." Seeing Goki's expression change, Ash continued to explain. "I really, really was just a little curious, and this time I'm taking the responsibility for my disrespect."

Under the girl's vigilant gaze, Ash took out a soft object from his pocket. The pale purple and gray-white radish "elf" immediately attracted Wu Mu's attention.

"This is it!"

I remember that those Pretty Cure girls seemed to be followed by similar elves!

"What's wrong? Looks soft, doesn't it?" Under Kain's disdainful gaze, Ash tugged at its cotton-soft face, pulling it to an exaggerated length. "Consider it my apology gift. I'll lend it to you for a while."

Seeing the soft little "elf" that he had held in his hands without knowing when, Wu Mu was stunned for a moment, especially when it raised its little hands like rice cakes to greet him.

"I'm Kain, a demon, please guide me."

"Yes, yes! I'm Mingdouin Itsuki—oh, so cute!!!"

The soft spot that had been hidden in her heart was actually touched. Unable to suppress her burst of emotions, the girl hugged Kain tightly and rubbed her rosy cheeks against him.

So cute! I used to envy Pretty Cure and the others, and now I see that they are still so cute!

Helplessly pulling his tongue, Kain's eyes shrank into small beans and drifted towards Ash.

"I'm clearly a part of you... and yet you lent it to someone else? How could you betray your own demon like that?"

"Really? If you're unhappy, then forget it?"

"Hmm~"

Feeling Goki rubbing his soft cheek, Kain narrowed his eyes and showed an expression of enjoyment.

"It's actually pretty good~~"

Puni Puni, the soft young girl is really nice~

"So, Mr. Timmons, you really aren't... planning that..."

"So, I'm not that bored." Seeing Goki holding Kain to his chest, Ash held his forehead with his hand helplessly. "And if I really wanted to do something to you, even if I were to execute you right here, do you think you'd have a chance to resist?"

"..."

Wu Mu, whose cheeks were burning, did not say anything. She began to think that what Ash said made sense and she couldn't help but turn her head to the side.

"Well, I didn't come to you for these things."

Ash sat cross-legged on the tatami, and after hesitating for a while, Goki followed suit, holding Kain with squinting eyes.

"I saw your fight with that guy, and honestly, I was pretty disappointed."

As the eldest disciple of Mingtangyuan, Wu Mu had no reason to lose in a duel with someone who was expelled from the sect and came back to challenge him. However, he never expected that he would be defeated in a big upset.

Especially when Ash, who was hiding in the dark, saw that Wu Mu, who had originally defeated his opponent, was defeated by his opponent who fell to the ground because of his hesitation, Ash, who was watching the game from the side, was so angry that his blood pressure soared.

"Well...."

Wu Mu lowered her head in grievance after being lectured by Ash, but this was indeed her problem, and there was no point in refutating it even if she wanted to.

"Do you really like the martial arts you are practicing?"

Especially when he heard this spell that was about to drive him crazy, Wu Mu trembled all over and hugged Kain even tighter.

"I don't have this kind of question..."

Before Wu Mu could finish her stammering words, Ash interrupted her with a loud laugh. With his arms crossed in front of his chest, he looked directly into Wu Mu's eyes, which showed an undisguised confusion.

"Did my words really affect you that much? Humph, since you can't figure it out, why not just stop thinking about it?"

"Eh?"

Wu Mu, who didn't expect the other party to say that, made a silly sound. Ash raised his hand and gently touched her forehead.

"If you can't figure it out, don't dwell on it. Dwelling on it will only cause you trouble."

However, let me prove it to you with my actual actions.

Clapping his hands and standing up from the ground, Ash casually threw his black dress aside, revealing the vest underneath.

"Mr. Timmons?"

"Come on, let me enlighten you." He raised his hand and waved provocatively at the girl who was still stunned on the ground. "Who told me to be the caring big brother now?"

"Since words can't make it clear, let's communicate with our fists and feet!"

Chapter 36 You have a great big brother

"Hmm~ This is a really personal sparring match, DESU."

Using his light yellow suit as a cushion, Kain sat on it, took off the lid of the Goki cup, blew on the hot steam inside, and leisurely enjoyed other people's tea.

"Itsuki—come on desu!"

As for Ash? He wouldn't have any problems.

"Drink!"

Perhaps it was the encouragement from Kain that worked, Wu Mu's movements became faster.

"Yes, that's it! Keep going!"

Although the practice of Mingtangyuan School is mainly based on cultivating the mind, it does not mean that this school does not pay attention to the practice of martial arts. In fact, the Mingtangyuan Gomu who has been training persistently to the present day dares to say that he has the possibility of winning even if facing five adults at the same time as long as they are not armed.

At this time, Wu Mu gritted his teeth, kept listening to Timmons' beeping, and threw out punches and kicks that were textbook-standard.

Straight punches, swinging punches, hooks! Staring, side kicks, and whip kicks followed one after another! The small room was filled with the crackling sound of feet hitting the tatami mat.

Ash kept defending, relieving force, and dodging, but he also kept facing Wu Mu's attacks head-on. Facing such a high-quality "sandbag" that could not fight back but had extraordinary reactions, Wu Mu became more and more excited, and his hands became faster and faster, almost surpassing his previous record.

"flaw!"

"Wrong, that's the flaw I sold you."

You're not a fussy person when it comes to finding flaws.

Her slightly tilted cheek brushed against the girl's fist, and Ash's palm hit her arm joint. The iron palm like a swimming dragon quickly grabbed her entire arm. Wu Mu's body instantly broke free from the control of gravity, and the perspective quickly changed to the ceiling.

“Haaaaaaaa…”

Wu Mu, who was thrown to the ground, stretched out her body and breathed in the fresh air. After a burst of hot sweat, she felt extremely comfortable.

"I...thank you..."

Is he helping me vent?

Should I say thank you to him?

"Nice momentum." Ash's masked face appeared above her head, blocking out the light from the ceiling. "But your speed is the only thing that's good. Your punches are messy."

At first, she was still using the techniques she had learned, but later on, it was like an elementary school student simply swinging his fist, attacking for the sake of attacking. If the other students in the dojo were present, they would definitely wonder if this girl and their highly skilled senior brother were the same person.

"Your heart is all reflected in your fist." He lifted Wu Mu's left hand, which was open due to exhaustion, and then put it down casually.

"So-called martial arts are nothing more than the three elements of mind, body, and skill. You possess unwavering resolve, you've trained your physique to be stronger than any other boy your age, and you're exceptionally gifted, so there's no difference in technique. So, why do I have such a low opinion of you?"

Kain, who was standing by, took out a sweat-absorbing tissue from his pocket and placed it on Wu Mu's face.

"I guess you've figured out the problem. After all, you're not as stupid as the blue one."

"I understand." Unaware that Ash was dissing some blue idiot again, Itsuki nodded. "Mr. Timmons said it's not okay to not like something—does that mean I don't have my own opinions and understanding?"

"There are some differences, but not too far." He pinched his fingers and made a crisp sound on her forehead. Ash couldn't help but curl his lips as he saw her covering her forehead and screaming in pain.

"You want your grandfather to be proud of you, and you want to be a role model for everyone. Because this is what everyone wants to see, what everyone expects, so you practice for this kind of 'correctness', but you never fight for yourself - this is what you call a lack of independent thinking."
