Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

I don't know why, but I felt relieved when I saw that the manager's coffee was also useful to them.

"How rude, Brother Tao!"

"It's not my fault!" Momotaros wiped the coffee that had leaked from between his teeth and almost threw the cup at Ash's face. "What kind of coffee is this? It's nothing compared to Mami's. Is this drinkable?"

"That's not what I meant. After all, you're not a human being, are you?"

"Nani?!"

Momotaros's rage instantly recharged to 1000%.

The taste of the alien demons is different from that of humans, so according to Ash's calculations, the taste of Martian coffee just suits their taste. It's just that Taotalos personally put some extra ingredients in this cup.

The moment Momotaros, who loved sweet things, drank the coffee, he felt as if he was thrown into a sea of ​​bitter melon juice and began to swim. The bitter taste that could make even the demon gods die almost overflowed from his mouth!

"Ash, you did this on purpose, didn't you?!"

"No, I did it on purpose."

Looking at Momotaros jumping up and down, Ash's mouth curled up slightly.

Chapter 109: The Second "Murder" Caused by the Ring

Seriously, what's going on with this situation where it's like elementary school students quarreling with each other?

Even if they didn't say it out loud, the three people's unanimous thoughts were still reflected on their faces.

"Mr. Ash, you always manage to surprise everyone."

Wu Mu's summary instantly received unanimous and high agreement from everyone.

"What are you talking about? Can you still be considered a good friend like this?! I think you're still rebelling—Woo woo woo, little bear, let me go!"

Ash calmly took a step back, and Momotaros's fingernails just happened to scratch in front of him because of the urgent pull of his companions behind him.

Looking at the embarrassing looks of these guys, Ash felt inexplicably refreshed.

"Calm down, Brother Tao, but is it really that exaggerated?"

Without grabbing Momotaros's other hand, he picked up the cup in front of him and sniffed it. Didn't he smell anything strange?

"Really, Senior? This cup tastes good to me."

Looking at Momotaros who continued to jump up and down, Putaros enjoyed his coffee peacefully, and at the same time sorted out the whole story in his mind.

After all, the previous senior extorted a lot of pudding from Ash. Although Ash is not the type who likes sweets, he is not a broad-minded person either.

"A reckless fish doesn't need bait. He's a senior after all, and he took the hook Ash offered him right away."

"What—Okay! Before I teach Ash a lesson, I'll take off your stinking tortoise shell first."

"Oh, seniors should forbid violence in front of girls!"

"Oh, I know what's going on!"

Just when the alien demons were about to have a second internal conflict, Lei suddenly made a loud noise that attracted everyone's attention. She gently adjusted her glasses that were flashing with wisdom and made her own judgment.

"It must be because the store manager really likes tokusatsu, so he specially hired actors in suits to give us a surprise!"

Recently, the store manager has been recommending Kamen Rider and other things to us, but besides Itsuki who is very interested, Erika and I still prefer magical girl works like "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha" to the somewhat scary knights. After all, it is very interesting that they can occasionally make people empathize with the characters.

So, to promote the product, the store manager hired actors to act out this scene for us—which makes perfect sense! The store manager really put a lot of thought into it.

"Well, although what you said is outrageous, Lei," Erika beside her clapped her fist on her palm and made a sound of agreement. "But since it happened to the store manager, it makes perfect sense."

Hmm, look, manager, do you have anything else to say?

"Well, generally speaking, your judgment is correct." Ash replied calmly, his head colliding with the threatening Taotalos's forehead, knocking him down. "But how do you explain the previous possession?"

"It's messed up!" Unable to explain, Lei, having judged her failure, squatted in the corner, drawing circles sadly.

Ash walked over to the "unstoppably sad" Hanasaki Rei and gently patted his shop assistant's cute little head.

"Wait, wait, manager...don't do that in front of so many people..."

Lei shyly tucked her neck into her collar. All the store employees knew that Ash liked to "harm" soft and cute things. Usually, one of the three elves would stroke him when he had nothing to do. If not, it would be the others except Lily who suffered the "harm". Erika had lost her temper about this several times, but recently she didn't respond and started to enjoy it... Hmm?

"It's okay, I know you don't want to see them fighting so you want to liven up the atmosphere." Witnessing Lei's shining point, Ash showed a satisfied smile on his face and put a little more strength in his hands.

"Even if they've been possessed, you wouldn't want to see them having conflicts or anything like that. He's such a good kid, so good, so well behaved, and he's tried his best."

Amidst Itsuki's smile and Erika's dissatisfied look with puffed cheeks, Ash rubbed the soft girl's head with just the right strength.

If it were in the past, it would definitely be an experience that would make her faint from embarrassment, but now Lei would also hold her hot smiling face in her hands and giggle.

“Yes, I have tried my best…”

Lei is a good child, so the store manager will slowly realize Lei's goodness, and then it's the thoughtfulness... huh?

It seems like something hard is hitting my head...Huh?

"Manager, let me take a look at that hand."

After saying that, without waiting for Ash to answer, he took the hand above his head and placed it in front of him.

"What's wrong....eh?"

"ring."

For a moment, Lei's strange silence attracted everyone's attention again, and when she uttered that word, everyone's expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong, Little Bear? Why did the atmosphere suddenly change?"

"I don't know. Brother Tao, I don't know even if you ask me."

"Shh—" Seeing the two girls gradually approaching Ash, Potalos quickly raised his finger to make a shudder sound. "Everyone, it's best to keep quiet at this moment."

"The ring worn on the ring finger of the left hand... means..." Erika said word by word while carefully looking at Ash's fingers, but what made Ash feel "horrified" was that her originally aquamarine eyes gradually began to move closer to Lily's eyes.

Then I looked at Lei who stood up in front of me. Well, her eyes had lost their luster and looked dead!

"Ring, what's wrong with the ring?"

Ash lowered his head and looked at his ring again. No, this is just an ordinary ring, not some kind of enhancement item. Why do both you and Lily look so shocked?

Why are you all so concerned about the ring?! You didn't transform with the ring, so what's wrong with it?!

"Mr. Ash...congratulations..."

"Congratulations, what are you suddenly going to congratulate me for?" Touching his ring and hearing the originally gentle person's voice become emotionless, even Ash would feel creepy.

But then, Mao Guo's feeling of horror instantly turned into shock.

"Manager, you're a big liar!"

Ash was inspired by a signal from behind and he bent down to dodge and catch the flying toy belt. There, Erika, whose face looked as sad as if it was about to melt, was being stopped from running away by the panicked Itsuki.

"Wait, Erika, calm down!"

"Goki, don't stop me. Obviously, something like that happened between Lei and me, and it almost destroyed our friendship. Isn't it completely meaningless to talk about this now?!"

A woman who explodes in anger is very scary. Even Goki, a skilled martial artist, could hardly stop Erika from going berserk.

"We have always-I always thought that you, the store manager, would wait for me. Why, why are you already married?!"

Huh! ?

Erika's words made Ash stand there in shock, so much so that he didn't even dodge the next book before it hit him in the face.

"Who is it? Who did you marry?"

Facing the two people's questioning, Ash took the book off his face and answered in a rare embarrassed manner.

"What are you talking about? I'm still a virgin!"

You guys are the ones who are thinking about what the hell are you thinking about?

Chapter 110: The mixed team of Guangmei Knights attacks!

"So, wearing a ring on the left ring finger means..."

Among the three demon gods present, Potalas, the only one who was very good at emotional matters, raised his hand as a demonstration.

"Wearing a ring on the right ring finger signifies that you're in love and planning to get married." Then, Potalos retracted his right hand, grasped and lifted Ash's left hand, the wooden and golden ring gleaming brightly. "Wearing a ring on the left ring finger signifies marriage, symbolizing loyalty to love and marriage. It's understandable why the ladies are so excited."

I don't understand a damn thing! What's the excitement? Are you planning to marry me? Bullshit! What kind of funny plot is this? It's not like a classic fake marriage episode.

Could it be...ah, I understand, I understand, it's like the story of marrying your father when you grow up...I don't think I've heard anything like this for the first time.

"So what's the logic behind this?" Ash's expression twisted subtly as he stroked his fingers. "It's just a ring, but wearing it on different fingers has different meanings. Is this a joke?"

I see that magician wearing a ring. Doesn’t he wear rings on himself and other people’s hands every day for no reason? There aren’t so many complicated things.

I can wear it on whatever finger I want. I would also be happy to have rings on all ten fingers like the Lord of the Rings!

"After all, it's precisely because emotions are invisible and intangible that people have created so many symbolic things." Having finished his work as a teacher, Potalos nodded with complete satisfaction. "It's precisely because emotions are so captivating that I'm drawn to them, even more than the mission of the Demon God. Mmm, it's truly irresistible!"

"Tsk, after all this talk, you're still just a lecher!"

"Senior, how rude~"

Ignoring the alien demon god who had started fighting again, Ash turned his attention back to Lei and the others. After the commotion and misunderstandings were clarified, the two girls gradually realized what they had done and their faces were gradually filled with red blushes of shame.

"So, Ash! Is it true that the store manager doesn't have anyone to marry?"

However, if that's the case, doesn't that mean I also... Just as they were thinking this, Ash interrupted their imagination.

"Instead of studying your business, you're worrying about my affairs? Humph, I don't have any such boring plans!"

But I know that marriage is a graveyard of passion. I don’t want to get married!

"I don't think I'll ever fall in love..." As he spoke, a sudden, heart-pounding image of pure white gauze flashed through his mind. After a pause, Ash continued nonchalantly. "Strange... I haven't had enough fun yet—I have very high standards, and I don't have any plans to marry right now. But you guys... why are you reacting so strongly?"

If it were any other protagonist, they would have been fooled by the funny atmosphere and thought they were wrong. But I wouldn't do that. I've always been the only one who gets to do whatever I want. How could anyone else get a chance?!

"You are students, right? Students don't study hard, and you think about all sorts of nonsense!"

Ash's words left the two girls dumbfounded. "You're the one who usually acts the most clueless! Is it okay for you to say something like that now?"

"Even so, even so...!" Lei, holding her hands in front of her face like a little rabbit, mustered up the courage to speak loudly! "Even I am a girl! Girls, no matter what age, will have dreams of getting married!"

"It was the manager who told me not to misunderstand— wuwuwu!"

Looking at the increasingly excited Lei, Ash raised his slightly clenched fist and justice fell from the sky!

"You're overthinking things. Why don't you learn from the other people's specious arguments? Reflect on your actions, you pink-light idiot!"

"Ooooooooo...it hurts, I'm sorry..."

Seeing the miserable sight of Lei kneeling on the ground to reflect, Erika, whose face turned slightly pale, took a few steps back, and then bumped into the chest of Itsuki, who was smiling with a subtle expression on his face.

"That's it, Itsuki, don't let her run away. Then Miss Erika...what do you have to say?" After squeezing out of several intersections with his head held high, Ash put his smiling face towards Erika, who was feeling increasingly uneasy.

"I, I agree with Lei! How can a store manager like this, who doesn't know people's hearts, be a good supporter of Pretty Cure?!"

"...What does understanding people's hearts have to do with supporters?" Then, a second fist lashed out, wiping out all the tears from Erika's eyes. "Also, if crying helps, the police won't help!"

"Wow, can a store manager who pulls such a prank still be called an adult?!"

Unconvinced, Erika retorted loudly, and then received a second punch, crying even louder.

"The annoying store manager is a demon!"

"Is this the reason? You're just imagining things!"

Really, the kids on TV even dare to drive robots to fight evil monsters without asking any questions, so why are the ones in my house so weird?

After giving each of the two troublemakers a slap or two, and looking at the two little ones squatting on the ground with their heads covered and starting to reflect (physically), Ash nodded in satisfaction with the punishment result and began to ask Goki another important question.

"You guys are from outside the group, right? If so, have you seen Lily?"

"Sister Lily? I really don't have that..."

"Hey, you guys." Just as Ash was trying to figure out Moon Shadow Lily's whereabouts, Momotaros' voice interrupted him from behind. "Have you seen the Demon God?"

"Aren't you guys the same?"

"No, I'm talking about that kind of demon god. The bad demon god!" Tao Ta Luo Si said this, getting angry and pointing at Jin Ta Luo Si's nose and cursing. "What an idiot! You caught the demon god and beat it to pieces, but you forgot and let it get away! Now you don't even know where it is!"

"ha--?"
