Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Who wants to betray my shyness to you?"

You actually said such outrageous words. I dressed up specially for today. I cried... It turns out that the encouragement that day was just an illusion!

As Erika's pressure continued to drop, Ash's gaze shifted to her hands, or to be more precise, the two "reinforcement device units" that had not yet been painted.

"Ah..." Noticing Ash's gaze, Erika also picked them up. "What is this? I feel like I've seen something similar somewhere."

This reminded Erika that she had seen a similar device somewhere before, probably the one that...

Oh, no, I didn’t expect you to find this thing out. I can’t let you find out where it came from!

"Compared to this." Ash quickly approached Erika and held her hand, throwing the two devices aside. "You're injured."

"Oh, ah, yes, this is too sharp, I cut my hand and there's nothing I can do about it."

The first thing I noticed was this, hehe, it’s not bad...

The warmth from her hand brought Erika back to life. Seeing her fingers held in the other person's palm and the pair of eyes staring at her seemed like she had seen them somewhere before. The feeling brought the past back to her mind, and Erika's face suddenly became red with excitement.

He, he, he! Is he going to suck my finger like last time?!

Although Tao Jie did this to me when I was scratched as a child, and saliva does help disinfect, so the store manager's suggestion of scratching is reasonable... No, Erika, what are you thinking!?

"No, no, Manager, this is absolutely not possible! Lei, Lei she——"

"Well, what did you say?" Ash picked up the Yunnan Baiyao spray and sprinkled a layer of medicine on the wound. As the girl's shyness turned into a cry of pain, he put a Band-Aid on his finger.

"That's fine, but what did you say just now have to do with Lei?"

Ash was confused. Lei wasn't around, and she wouldn't come over even if you called her suddenly. Or was this some hidden Pretty Cure communication method that I didn't know about?

"Haha, of course it has nothing to do with Lei." Looking at the Band-Aid on her hand, Erika turned her head to the side inexplicably unhappy.

Ahhh, no, Erika! Why are you starting to let your imagination run wild? Don't be so easily shaken!

Ash's eyes swept across the entire room. He had only gone out to buy some materials and came back with Erika. Although she hadn't noticed it yet, it wouldn't be good if he continued and let her find out something. It would be better to end it quickly.

"But, you came here to see me, so if you have something to say, I suggest you tell me now."

That’s right, Erika, take this opportunity and use indirect methods to ask Lei what type of person he likes. This is the way to seduce him!

"I said, you..."

Erika, whose fingers were wrapped in band-aids, gently picked up the flower tea handed to her by Ash. As the hot steam licked her chin with a comfortable temperature, Erika asked her own question.

"What do you think of me?"

Chapter 84 Erika in His Eyes

“Aa ...

Erika, who appeared calm on the surface, was silently screaming in her heart. She was so shocked that she even subconsciously drank the flower tea in her hand that she had not intended to drink.

Oops, I asked the wrong question!

Lei——!

"Hmm--?!" The tongue stirred the taste in her mouth, making Erika stare at the cup of light pink floral tea in her hand in disbelief.

What’s going on? Is this really something that the crazy store manager concocted?

“So… delicious?!”

"What's that expression on your face? What do you think I can't do if I want to?"

"But..." Erika felt a twist in her heart as she recalled the devilish taste of the Mars Coffee she had once tasted. Thinking of the customers who had avoided this street since they came here, and looking at the playful smile on Ash's face, Erika widened her eyes and concluded, "So, you did it on purpose!?"

"What do you mean by intentional? I did." Ash took a sip of his floral tea and frowned slightly. The sugar was too little for him, and he couldn't taste it at all. "Those coffees are indeed carefully blended to my liking. It's their fault if they can't appreciate my taste, right? What's wrong with me wanting to promote the coffee I like?"

"Are you sure? This is for sale. Are you aware of this?"

"Yeah, so why should I accommodate others?"

"People like you are so annoying..." Even though she already knew it, Erika still couldn't like Ash's unique self-centered temperament, and then she suddenly realized it.

"No, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Anyway, the question has been asked, and the water has been spilled and cannot be taken back, so we might as well see what his answer is!

"Hmm...that's what you're talking about."

After all, it's normal for them to feel curious.

After all, it was I who offered to help them and make this the base for Pretty Cure. After spending time with them, they would naturally want to know my thoughts instead of listening to me change the subject.

So, ask yourself, how do I view the four people in the store?

Lei's words were very timid, and her blushing face was quite funny, but at the same time, she was the kind of person who dared to oppose me head-on in a fight, and never felt confused by my outrageous words, so she was a potential stock.

As for Goki, she is excellent in all aspects, both as a shop assistant and as a warrior. However, one can feel that she seems to be restrained by something. If she can be more open, she will surpass her limits.

Lily's situation is a bit bad. Although I helped her, anyone can see that the knot is still in her heart. Unless I can help her again, there is still a long way to go before she can shine again.

Uh-huh?

Ash, who was thinking and recalling his past with the girls, suddenly paused, and his face gradually tensed up and the smile that had appeared on the corner of his mouth disappeared.

Unconsciously, these girls seemed to have occupied a considerable position in his heart.

At the beginning, Ash did intend to imitate Evolto. Regardless of what happened afterwards, according to what Ash saw with his own eyes, it was indeed very responsible during the time when it served as Battle Rabbit's life mentor. It can even be said that Kamen Rider Bulid's wish to fight for love and peace was guided by it. In the end, the fruits of love and peace were so great that even humans were able to achieve it to an extent that surprised themselves.

So Ash followed suit and used the coffee shop manager as a springboard, preparing until the moment of revelation, bringing out all the previously accumulated emotions as a strong backlash, which he believed would be able to transform into their strength to achieve the power he sought.

But, he was just thinking this way, and he clearly didn't try to get closer to them, but since when did it start...

Why do I care about them so much?

"What's wrong? Does my matter make things so difficult for you?"

"Okay, okay, let me think about it for a while."

He touched Erika's little head, who was angry and thought she was being ignored, and kept fiddling with her blue ponytail that she had tied up specially today. Unexpectedly, this time, Erika didn't yell and slap his hand away.

Erika is eye-catching in her new clothes today. Although she still can't hide her liveliness, this maturity is well integrated with the cuteness of a girl. Ash guessed that she must have put a lot of effort into her outfit today.

It was a bit surprising. I didn't think of her as a woman because of her carefree appearance. But when I looked closely, I didn't expect that she was actually quite pretty.

"So who is Erika to me?"

The man raised his chin and slowly came to a conclusion.

"Smelly brat."

“Puff—Gahhaha!”

Erika spat out a mouthful of scented tea on the spot, and Ash skillfully picked up the tea tray and held it in front of her.

It always feels like it's not the first time.

"W-Why?! I'm not a child anymore, yet I'm wearing a mature style like my sister!"

"A brat is still a brat no matter how old she gets." Ash calmly watched Erika swaying wildly in protest and retorted in a few words. "I admit she's pretty, but her personality is terrible."

"Gu——!" Erika gritted her teeth and squeezed out the sound of water from her throat.

I know I do have some problems, but as a man you are too blunt!

Without any intention of stopping, looking at Erika who was now dressed in a mature style, Ash subconsciously compared her with another blue figure wearing glasses.

"She's careless and noisy, always making a lot of noise when I'm taking a nap. She's smart but never thinks about charging forward. She has ugly eating habits and doesn't look like a lady at all. She has a flat chest and is very short, and she's too noisy for a woman." Ash counted on his fingers, listing all of Erika's shortcomings as if they were treasures.

"Is this something a man can say?!"

"That's why I say this because I'm a man."

Gu... Erika fell weakly on the table, and two tears sadly dripped from the corners of her eyes and stuck to her glasses.

What's the point of trying to find out for Lei? Why would anyone bother trying to find out about this boring straight guy?! Why are people so easily attracted to people like this? I'm so upset...

"but...."

However, Ash's words continued.

"You became a Pretty Cure just to be with Rei, right? It's you who has always supported her weakness with your courage." Ash's words stopped Erika's unwilling squirming. When the girl turned her head towards the man, she met a pair of serious eyes.

"You went to this extent for others, right? I think it's amazing."

"Although you're a charge in battle, you're also always the first to make things happen. Although you're noisy, you're also quite lively and cheerful. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but Lei and Goki are also influenced by your positivity."

As he spoke, Ash smiled.

“I quite like this type.”

Originally, Ash was planning to say something weird to tease her. After all, it was quite fun to tease someone like Erika who had such a big reaction.

But unconsciously, as he was talking and looking at the two "aquamarines", Ash unconsciously expressed what he was really thinking.

It was not until then that he realized what he had said.

Eh...what's going on? I feel so sorry for them, but I'm gradually becoming soft-hearted.

Erika blinked blankly as she listened to Ash's words, even ignoring why Ash knew so much about her battles.

What did he...say?

He said, like it?

DOKI——DOKI——

Erika subconsciously covered her heart because a different rhythm began to beat here.

By the time Erika's stunned nerves realized what Ash had said, a blush quickly appeared on the girl's fair, round face, and the color spread from her neck upwards like a rapidly ripening persimmon.

Chapter 85 You are my lucky goddess

“Don’t…don’t…”

The girl waved her hands repeatedly in front of her face, not wanting others to see her expression, and turned her face away. However, her action just happened to arouse the joy that Ash had been hiding. Ash, who rarely showed interest in the store manager's state, walked over nonchalantly.

"what happened?"

Oh, that's interesting. I've never seen this kind of reaction from others when I've said that before. Let me see!

"Don't...."

"Don't?"

"Don't try to be cool all of a sudden after you've become so popular!!!"

Do you know how embarrassing this makes me feel?

The sound of Erika's sudden roar hit Ash's uncovered ears directly, and the man, who was dizzy from Erika's roar, sat back on the bed.

Why are you yelling so loudly!

"You must be giving me.....I won't fall for it!!"

With her mouth curved into a circle, she kept shouting out. Erika turned her arms vigorously, posing as Reikan Ken and "attacked" Ash, but was stopped by a hand on her forehead.

"Why are you unhappy when I praise you?"

“Wooo ...

"Okay, stop punching me here."

After a period of chaos, Erika finally stopped. The two people sitting together looked at each other in silence. At this time, a soul-searching question came to Erika's mind.

OK, I have finished asking questions, now it is time to...

Oh, what am I here for?

"Any thing else?"

"No, it seems to be gone."

I seem to have forgotten something, but if I forgot it, it means it’s not something important. I’m such a smart guy!

"That's good. Now that you're here, don't just stand there and watch. Give me a hand."

After saying that, Ash stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and handed a broom to Erika.
