Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"It's such a mess, I can't even get down. Please help me clean it up."

"Why didn't you clean it up earlier?"

Staring into Erika's eyes, Ash said confidently, "I don't really want to waste my time on this kind of thing."

I'm just lazy!

Facing Yashi's indignant voice, Erika was speechless. How could such a thing be said so seriously?!

Erika had no choice but to pick up the broom and sweep away as much garbage as possible instead of throwing away Ash's collection as garbage.

"What a hassle." x2

However, they only swept away a little garbage, and less than a few minutes passed, but it felt like half a day had passed and neither of them wanted to continue.

This is so troublesome. I remember there was always someone to help me clean before. Why is there no one this time?

There's no other way. After Lily comes tomorrow, I'll talk to her and I'll give her a raise so she can clean for me on a regular basis. It's too troublesome for me to do it myself.

"What a trouble...ah, Cofla!" Erika muttered the same thing as Ash, and brought Cofla from downstairs, stretching out her hand as if she wanted something.

"What's wrong? I don't have anything on me?"

"Well, give me the ocean magic wand. Since the energy of the magic wand can purify the desert monsters~" Looking at the messy rooms around her, the clever Erika immediately came up with a plan.

"Then it's okay to use this to tidy up the room!"

"Ha!!! You, you, you, what are you talking about!" Coflay was stunned. This Erika actually wanted to use the Pretty Cure's weapons to clean the room. This is too ridiculous. How can you have the nerve to call yourself a precuer?!

"What does it matter? I'm helping the store manager now. Precure's mission is to help others. I'm using Precure's power to help the store manager. Isn't that the same thing?"

"It seems so... No, how is this different?"

"I don't care. It's such a hassle to clean up. Hand over your magic wand!"

"Okay, stop playing around." In the end, Ash used his hand knife to punish Erika who was playing with his Pokémon. After all, there were quite a few things hidden in his room. If he really purified something, that would be a big deal.

Thinking of this, Ash sighed. This was also what was bothering him. He wanted to rub his hand to improve its appearance, but in fact, if the unbalanced power in the Dune Seal on his hand could not be properly handled, he would not be able to use it properly.

"Hey, Erika?" Ash asked casually while he was lost in thought about the seal. "What would you do if something stuck out too much and became difficult to use?"

"Too much. What, you mean your coffee?" Erika, not understanding what Ash meant, subconsciously assumed he was talking about the coffee shop. "Your coffee is incredibly bitter. Why don't you add some sugar to balance it out?"

Add more sugar to neutralize...what?

Erika's words woke Ash up from his dream, and he suddenly realized the problem.

Yes, I am indeed very familiar with the power of darkness, so I can't do anything with that seal. After all, I can't just suck it dry and replace it with Dark Echo, otherwise the enhancement will lose its meaning.

In that case, why don't I try another method, the traditional art of using light to fight darkness?

Ash's mind raced, his eyes immediately drifting to the two "enhanced units" stained with Erika's blood. Logically speaking, if the blood flowing through the Pretty Cure also possessed energy...

Ignoring Erika's strange look, Ash plugged the wires into the reinforcement unit and turned on the computer to test the data on the spot. He was not afraid that this would expose himself. Even if Erika looked at it, she would not be able to tell what the jumping numbers meant.

"What's going on again..." As expected, Erika, who felt bored after watching for a while, pouted and her eyes turned to the refrigerator.

"Let me see if there are any other drinks in there...eh?" Erika opened the refrigerator door without hesitation, but was instantly stunned by what was inside. Her dull eyes even made her unable to understand what she was seeing for a moment.

What's in here? It seems to be... the one I've seen before—

"Hahahahaha————!" The contagious laughter from behind instantly broke Erika's thoughts. Before she could react to what was happening, someone picked her up, hung her in the air and spun her around.

"Great, this reading was successful!"

Ash just tried to input Erika's data, in other words, the data of Pretty Cure, to counteract the power of the seal, and the result was very encouraging. In other words, this idea is completely feasible!

Something that had been bothering him for a while was solved by Erika's unintentional words. It was hard to describe Ash's mood at the moment with happiness. He followed his instincts, laughed out loud, and gave unreserved praise.

"What are you doing, play it—"

"Hahahahaha, I love you so much Erika! You are simply my lucky goddess!"

At this moment, Ash's words made her forget all her thoughts, worries, and previous surprise.

All that was left was the "unclear" words he uttered.

Chapter 86 Erika's Change of Heart

"One thousand sheep... one thousand and one sheep..."

Late at night, on the second floor of the Kai family's house, in Erika's room, only the girl's voice kept ringing.

"One thousand and two sheep... one thousand and three sheep..."

The girl was not as energetic late at night as she was during the day, but her voice was still continuous.

"One thousand and three sheep... Ahhhhh, no, I can't sleep at all!"

Erika rolled over and sat up on the bed, holding her shaking face. She kept "wailing" and her face was full of depression.

There was no way, it was natural that she couldn't sleep. Now, as soon as she closed her eyes, all she could see was someone's affectionate gaze and those fatal words.

"Erika, I love you."

The moment she closed her eyes, the increasingly intense scene appeared before her eyes again. In a pink mist filter like that of a girl's comic, a man with black messy hair looked straight into her eyes. After the girl's imagination automatically retouched the picture, the character's style and chin became ten or even nine times more handsome than someone in reality. "Ash" approached, his eyes showing three parts of dominance, two parts of indifference and five parts of love. Even the CV was changed to the magnetic voice of "Hiyama Osamu", and Ash's words were almost sincere at this moment.

"You are my goddess of luck. If I let you leave me, my good luck will no longer favor me."

"This, I..."

As if she had become a different person, the carefree Erika muttered unclear words in a soft voice that was completely unlike her own.

The girl who was forced into the corner was in a state of confusion, but she only lacked an expression of disgust. Her aquamarine eyes looked at the increasingly approaching black pupils, as if she was finally going to say something, but at this moment, the man raised his finger and quietly lifted the girl's chin, making her look away and meet his gaze again.

"So Erika, I want you to stay with me forever, okay?"

Wah wah wah wah wah wah - like this, who can stand it!

“I, I, I wish… No, that’s not right!!”

Ahhh, such irresponsible words were said to me by the store manager, how could I not care!

"Now I just... can only..."

Knock knock——

There was a knocking sound at the window, and Erika was startled. She quickly gathered her strength and ran over, pulling open the curtains.

"bud?"

Erika and Rei are good neighbors who live next to each other. Even the windows of the two girls' rooms are facing each other. The two people standing in front of the windows are less than one meter apart, which makes it convenient for the girls to have such a conversation.

"What's wrong, Erika?" Lei rubbed her sleepy eyes in a very low voice. It seemed that she was woken up by Erika's behavior of not sleeping and shouting in the middle of the night.

"You've been acting weird since I came back today. I saw you staring at the sky when you were fine. Are you unable to sleep now?"

After the battle today, Erika left without stopping. No one knew what she did. It would be terrible if something bad happened... In short, Lei was very worried about her relative and friend Erika.

"I...."

Erika opened her mouth to say something, but in the end no words came out.

How can I say this kind of thing?

She wanted to fool him by laughing it off as usual, but she couldn't open her mouth no matter what she did, and the jokes that came to her easily couldn't be told smoothly.

"What happened, Erika? Can you tell me about it?"

With the simple desire to help her relatives and friends, Lei tried to make her voice gentle. However, the more she said this, the more erratic the shadow cast by Erika's petite figure under the moon became.

Lei was very confused. She didn't know why Erika's eyes kept wandering and she never looked at her face.

"Lei...I think I have someone I like."

Erika swallowed the words in her mouth, blushed and lowered her head, tears in her eyes, just fiddling with the hem of her pajamas.

Finally, I said it.

"Hey!" The sleepy Lei suddenly became alert, her cherry-colored eyes widening instantly. This could explain Erika's strange behavior today. So that's it! Everything made sense.

But it seems like Erika actually has someone she likes. It’s a little hard to imagine. Who could it be?

"Who is it? Is it from our class... or the class next door...?"

“Neither of them!”

Erika shook her head, rejecting all of Lei's candidates. Finally, her eyes, which were filled with uneasiness, stopped looking at Lei's curious eyes for a moment before quickly looking away.

"Lei, I'm sorry."

"Eh?"

Why do you want to apologize to me?

————The dividing line of the second day——————

"What's wrong? It's totally not okay!"

Ash kicked Lei away and transformed into Timmons, finally experiencing the boredom of bullying the weak.

In order to make sure that his tenacious "original intention" should not be shaken, Ash temporarily put down the work at hand and went to cause trouble for them. After all, it is not easy to fight these increasingly powerful girls while trying not to use genetic mixing (Kain's language).

But the result was unexpected. Although Goki was not present due to something, the actual problem was with Erika.

"Erika!" Lei, who had been sliding backwards, used her high heels to support herself after landing. She helped Erika, who was lying on the ground beside her with her mouth and eyes closed, to her feet. "Are you okay, Erika? You don't look right today... Erika?!"

She was startled when Erika didn't reply to her, and she quickly put her ear against her chest to make sure that the heart inside was still beating strongly, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

What? I just fell asleep... Wait, fell asleep?! I fell asleep during a fight.

"Hehehe, don't do this, it's too bad - uh, uh, uh?" Perhaps the noise was too loud, Erika blinked her hazy eyes, and finally woke up from some dream by patting her head.

"What's wrong? Damn it, I'm so tired... so tired..."

Erika was daydreaming the whole night last night and couldn't fall asleep at all, so now she is very sleepy... No, I can't even open my eyes.

"Erika, cheer up!" Anxiously, Lei looked at Timmons who was getting closer and closer, grabbed Erika's limp body and shook it back and forth. "Itsuki should be here soon, don't get sleepy now!"

"I know...but!" She forced herself to stand up, her limp body still swaying as she yawned. "But I'm still so sleepy..."

"Really? If you're so sleepy, why don't you come out and fight?" Ash picked at the compound eyes on his helmet helplessly. He didn't know what was wrong with Erika, but he felt very unhappy that the mood he had specially put in was wasted.

Seriously, I was planning to beat you up, or be beaten up by you to make myself tougher and avoid becoming weak. How can I beat you like this?

"Um, can we reconcile?" Lei, who was supporting Erika, forced a smile towards Ash that was not as pretty as crying. It would be best if they could avoid fighting at this time.

"No need, it's just Timmons. As for me..." Erika, whose good impression of Timmons had plummeted to the ground, didn't intend to do that. Even though her body was staggering, she still pointed at the "clone" Spider-Man and shouted: "I can beat you even when I'm asleep————Ah~"

Erika's mouth, which had grown bigger due to her arrogance, turned into a yawn, much to the shame of Lei and the elves.

"Honestly, there's no point in fighting you in this situation. I might as well just let you go."

That’s right, that’s right, you understand it very well, don’t you think so too?

As Lei looked expectantly at him, Ash drew out his Spider Seal.

"[Charge!]"

"Hmm..." Ash nodded as he watched Erika nod her head every three steps and pushed the belt towards the center. "Forget it, I'm not that kind."

"[Demons Finish!]"

Chapter 87: Erika's Heart Beats

“It hurts so much…”

"Who told you to stay up late? You almost fell asleep during the fight. You deserved to be beaten."

Use a cotton swab dipped in iodine to gently apply some to the tip of Erika's nose. Looking at the medicine on the tip of her nose, Erika, with tears in her eyes, screamed in pain.

Itsuki and Yuri went to purchase the used coffee beans, while Lei went to buy Erika's favorite strawberry daifuku at her strong request. For a moment, Erika and Souya were the only two people in the huge coffee shop.

After being hit by Timmons' fatal kick, Erika ran back to her nest like a wronged little beast. Ash, who had also escaped from Goki's pursuit and ran back here, originally planned to let Erika do it herself, but at her strong request, he had to beat her himself and apply medicine to her.

Even Ash himself couldn't help but sigh: Really, when did I become so accommodating to them?

"I know it's my fault, but it still hurts..."
