Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Ash didn't ask specifically, and he didn't know the story of Goki, but just by looking at the girl, Ash could imagine at least five stories that were 80% the same as what happened to her.

"Based on this alone, that guy who's not as good as you is stronger than you. At least he's fighting for himself. And he really wants to prove it to all of you because he likes the Mingtangyuan style."

"So, Mingtangyuan Wumu, what are your thoughts?"

......

......

"Is it not okay to work hard for other people's dreams?"

Obviously, the Pretty Cure girls saved so many people. Aren’t they also fighting for others?

"Don't get confused." Ash saw through Wu Mu's actual thoughts at a glance, and he also had his own insights and answers.

"Some say they fight to protect the smiles of others, others fight to protect their promises to others, but in the final analysis, they are all working hard to follow the path they have chosen!"

Because they are people who clearly understand what they are doing.

"Acting on your inner impulse and doing what you believe is right, isn't that also the same as fighting for what you love?"

Wu Mu had never heard of such a statement before. It was simply a sophistry, but he could not find any way to refute it.

"How can a fist swung only for others possibly defeat a fist swung for yourself?"

"But if you're practicing for the sake of others, then you're still a Mingtangyuan-ryu person." Listening to the approaching footsteps, Ash pointed in the direction of the gate. "Why not listen to what others have to say?"

"Wuki, can I come in?"

"Brother, brother! Wait!" Hearing the voice of her beloved brother, Wu Mu sat up and suddenly panicked. Especially when she saw Ash sitting cross-legged behind her with an indifferent smile on his face, she panicked even more.

What if my brother sees this? He'll misunderstand! He'll definitely misunderstand!

"Um, brother, please don't come in! Um...I just finished training and I'm very dirty. It will bother you, brother, so please don't come in!"

Wu Mu kept on telling lies that he himself didn't believe, but he succeeded in making Mingtang Yuangao stop.

"Then I'll talk outside the door."

With their backs against the door, the brother and sister, who shared the same blood, communicated through the thin wooden door.

"Grandpa once said that martial arts is the ultimate goal of life and it's not for any reason. Do you remember that, Wu Mu?"

"Well—keep it in mind! But, that's not—"

"No, it's not what Wu Mu thinks. Grandpa doesn't mean to blame you." Hearing the panic coming from the other side, Gao couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on his face.

"Grandpa means for you to follow your heart."

Grandpa has always cared about and worried about you, but he’s just not good at expressing it.

"my heart?"

The girl couldn't help but look at that person. If that was the case, wouldn't it be the same as what he said about "real love"?

"I'm really grateful that Goki was able to sacrifice himself for this family."

Finally, he found an opportunity and mustered up the courage to speak to his younger sister for the first time, as the eldest brother, what he had hidden in his heart for many years.

"But I hope that in the future, Wu Mu will no longer live for others. Instead, he will think more about himself and live according to his heart."

This is the hope of grandpa, mom and dad, and everyone in our family.

A little bit envious~

Seeing Kain wiping Wu Mu's face with a tissue, a trace of jealousy arose in Ash's originally calm heart. When he realized the source of this feeling, he became very angry.

Forget it...I'm really becoming less and less like a villain.

Guessing that the woman-like big brother had left, Ash reached out his hand to Wu Mu who was half-squatting on the ground.

"Even without power, he is still an enviable big brother."

"Snapped!"

Ash's hand was held tightly.

"Of course, because we are a family!"

Chapter 37: Forgotten Moves

"Why, why didn't Master knock me down and give me a good lesson?"

At this moment, standing at the foot of the dojo, the boy who challenged the dojo mentioned by Ash was angry at someone, maybe at himself.

I know, Master is the most powerful. He can defeat me in just one move! The same goes for Senior Brother. He had already pinned me down, but why didn't he give me the final blow? Instead, he gave me the chance to fight back!

Even though he won, the boy didn't feel the slightest joy of victory in his heart.

"Actually, I..."

I knew it was my fault for using that foul move, but my pride prevented me from admitting my mistake. All it would have taken was for Master or someone else to knock me down and make me admit my mistake! But in the end, I ended up making an even bigger mistake!

Actually, I like Mingtangyuan style the most...!

The tragedy caused by the inability to speak caused the flower deep in the boy's heart, which was like his soul, to begin to lose its vitality.

"Humph, why are you complaining about yourself?"

what? !

The sudden voice behind him startled the young man. Looking down at him from a high place was a big, hairy man in a white windbreaker. Surrounding him stood a large group of monsters that looked like the special effects soldiers on TV.

"who are you?"

"I am the chief of the Desert Apostles, Spider Cargill!"

He gave his name very honestly, and Spider Cargill saw at a glance the withered heart flower hidden in the boy's heart, which had the appearance of a [Violet], and immediately fell in love with him.

"I accept the flower that is about to wither. Flower of the heart, come out!"

Using dark energy, the heart flower and its human part were separated amid the boy's screams. The boy's body was shrunk into a tiny shape and locked in a crystal ball, curled up. The heart flower, which was about to wither, was trapped in the crystal and allowed to be controlled by the spider Cargill.

"Desertlien, come!"

The Heart Flower was fused with a plaque beside him to summon him. Soon, the boy's heart was twisted into a "Desert Monster" that used the plaque as a weapon.

"Cure, please come out!"

However, this time Spider Cargill did not intend to fight around the desert monster. The monster was only there to lure out the girls, and he himself was their real opponent.

"puff---!"

Erika, who was searching for Itsuki with Rei, saw the desert monster running towards her and immediately sprayed it like a Swampert using a water spray.

No way, why do we always run into desert monsters every time we go out to play?

"Erika, the disciples of the dojo are still here!" Lei took out the perfume of heart. After being beaten for a long time, she gradually overcame her fear of fighting passively.

"That guy doesn't seem to be here anymore..." Erika looked around but couldn't see the Spider Knight. "Okay, let's take care of this one!"

"Who do you want to take out in one go?"

A deep and rough male voice sounded from behind the girl. Spider Carjeel faced the Pretty Cure, and flames of energy burst out from his clenched fists!

"Pretty Cure! This time, I'm going to defeat you!"

I'll use the new tricks I learned from the game to defeat you! And let that Timmons see what I can do!

On the other side, Mingtangyuan Wumu stood by the pond in the backyard, quietly looking at his own reflection in the water.

"I thought that as long as I inherited the Mingtangyuan style, I would be protecting my brother, but it's not true."

But, if I don’t practice martial arts, will I still be myself?

"The most important thing is, do you like it..."

"If you don't practice martial arts because you want to become stronger, then martial arts is just a hobby or a tool. Those who truly love to practice martial arts are already practicing diligently."

After listening to his brother's words and Ash's words, Wu Mu was now thoughtful and seemed to have realized something.

The answer... should be within me!

"Mr. Timmons, as a senior in martial arts, please guide me!"

"I want to experience my original aspiration as a martial artist once again!"

Facing this person, even Goki couldn't tell whether he was a good person or a bad person. He showed no hesitation or sympathy when fighting with Pretty Cure, but he cared so much about himself whom he had only met by chance.

She couldn't make an accurate judgment, but now she wanted to believe him!

Hearing Goki's words, Ash's lips curled up into a fox-like smile.

"I don't know if I really like it, and I don't know what else I can do if I don't practice..."

Ha, it worked.

"Want to revisit your roots? Then let me teach you a trick: forget the moves and discard all the routines."

Only in this way can we rediscover our original intention.

"Forgot...a move? —Ah!"

Ash's figure wrapped around him from behind like a ghost, with his chest against his vest and his five fingers resting on the backs of Wu Mu's hands. But that was not the only thing that scared Wu Mu so much. Although the distance was as close as it could not be, except for the actual contact between their bodies, she could not feel the presence of another person behind her at all.

"Throw away all your worries. You don't have to carry all the responsibilities on your shoulders."

Perhaps it was because Ash had been clumsy several times that Gomu, who had come into contact with him, had developed resistance. The blush on Gomu's face, which was almost about to burst with steam, slowly faded, and he actually calmed down as he said.

"Then just follow your heart and move according to your feelings."

She climbed onto Goki's body and pulled her to move. She had noticed the boxing style Ash was using from the beginning. It was clearly a move from the Mingtangyuan style, but...

What do you mean by forgetting the moves?

"Don't overthink it. Your body will tell you the answer. The Mingtangyuan style you practice will protect you."

Wu Mu calmed down completely. The mistakes in his boxing caused by panic no longer existed. His hand movements were as graceful as dancing, and the powerful routines flowed out smoothly like water.

She began to get into the mood, her eyes gradually became ethereal, but her hand movements became more graceful.

“Let your mind be as unrestrained as water.”

What am I doing?

“Don’t think, feel.”

Why should I do this?

Who am I?

Ash had stopped guiding at some point, and the man who had retreated to the side looked at Wu Mu, whose eyes were dull but extremely focused. He looked at her already formed movements and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, that's it!"

My vision is right, you are indeed a good fit, Wu Mu!

"Boom--" The sound of explosion from a distance interrupted everything. Wu Mu, who was sitting on the ground and suddenly woke up, finally reacted.

I - clearly nothing was taught to me, but I seem to have learned something.

"Mr. Timmons?"

"Let's go over and have a look."

Looking at Wu Mu's back as he ran towards the sun, Ash nodded with satisfaction.

Shine more, Itsuki, Rei, Yuri, and Erika.

What I want to see is this kind of fateful stage that no one can predict!

Chapter 38: Five Trees, Cultivated

"It has already begun."

With his instep hooked on the tree trunk, Ash was hanging upside down in the tree, sitting in the first-class seat and watching the battle between the two Pretty Cures and the desert monster.

"I really want to go back to the dojo. Actually, I like Mingtangyuan Ryu the best!"

The desert monster transformed from the flower of a boy's heart will intentionally or unintentionally leak out the inner voice of its original owner. It can be called a truth robot, which is quite interesting to Ash.
