No one can give Yueying Lily a standard answer at this moment.

"Haa-ha, why, why is it you!"

"Ahem! I have things I want to accomplish, too." Ash calmed his breath, adjusting his ragged breath. Looking up at the sky, he saw dark clouds quietly covering the bright moon that once hung high in the sky. "In this world, we can't always live the way we want. It can't be helped."

Although the reason I do this is not because of myself.

"What does this mean?"

"There's nothing I can do. Just assume I have a grand plan and my own reasons." Ash clasped his hands together and bowed to Lily, looking completely pleading. "So just pretend you didn't see anything and let me go?"

"Then, then you have to explain everything clearly and return the Heart Seed!"

In this case, everyone, I can forgive you too!

"This is troubling. I don't think this is going to work." Knowing the negotiations had broken down, Ash reached out and grabbed the driver from behind. "Even though I don't like being a riddler... I don't have any reason to tell you the whole story, right?"

"Boss, is this really... the end?" Hearing Cain's voice in his heart, Ash nodded without hesitation. "Isn't this natural? It's already been decided long ago."

“This kind of thing…”

"Well, at this point, no one will believe me if I try to trick you guys like you're stupid."

After brushing off the dust on the corner of his clothes, Ash finally placed the driver that had been imported into Kain on his waist under Lily's weeping gaze.

"[DEMONS DRIVER]!"

"It's just right. I can give it a try when there's no one around."

Pulling out the soon-to-be-retired Sin Seal from the pop-up belt storage, pressing the "[SPIDER]" sound effect, Ash smiled and released his palm, allowing it to fall directly into the slot above the drive.

"[Deal]"

Looking at the man in front of her who was wearing a belt and still had the manager's smile on his face, but had become a stranger, Lily did not feel either intense sadness or anger for a moment. Apart from her eyes filled with tears, the only thing she could feel was a strong sense of unreality.

"Henshin."

A spider fell from the dot matrix screen of the belt monitor, and a silver metal spider also hung upside down from the dark moon in the sky, quickly circling around the man's body and spinning silk to wrap him into a cocoon.

"[Decide up! Deep! Drop! Danger!]"

The one who emerged from the cocoon and broke through the spider web was the Kamen Rider they were all too familiar with. White mesh armor covered his chest, and the power of the devil flowed through his scarlet living muscles.

"Has it transformed...?"

"Kamen Rider Demons.....and I am, Ash."

Yueying Lily, who was trembling slightly behind her, stood up and looked at the transformed man in front of her. The tears that kept dripping left deep tear marks on her cheeks.

"Cough cough!"

A crisp sound was heard as his hands twisted his neck, and the armor at the collar was pulled. Ash's voice came from the Kamen Rider in front of them, and in an instant it turned into the Parseltongue that they had hated countless times.

"It's still this voice, you are more familiar with it."

click-

Silent glass shattered with a crisp sound, and Lily's inestimably precious memories, like enamel glass falling from the roof to the ground, instantly shattered into countless colorful fragments, and could never be pieced back together again.

"Lily-chan~"

"Don't shout my name in that voice—!"

In the unspeakable pain, behind Lily, a few crystal tears fell and hung in the air.

The light of the silver moon covered Lily's body and instantly transformed her into Cure Moonlight. She didn't even feel like calling out the transformation roll call. The pain that almost shattered her soul drove her forward without thinking and rushed forward.

"This is really——"

The continuously opened spider web-shaped shields were shattered by Lily's attack, and the continuously shot spider silk was shattered by the angry Lily without even a 0.1 second chance.

Placing his hands on Lily's fist, he jumped up and dodged the fatal blow, but the heavily armed knight was blown away by the wind from the fist swung by the slender girl.

"Haha! You're totally unbeatable. Well done, Lily, I'm really glad to see you've grown to this point!"

"No, no Lusai!"

Unlike herself, Lily choked back with a rude tone and hurriedly wiped her tears with the cuffs of her petals, but no matter how she wiped, the tears continued to flow.

Why, why, why!

Lily had a thousand questions in her mind that she wanted to ask him, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't ask a single one.

"but--"

After rolling twice, he stood up, and like a hunting spider, Ash took out four seals from his back and stamped them on his belt one after another.

"It's still not very mature as a bud."

Chapter 140: Hypocritical Kamen Rider

"[Dominate up!]"

"[Add! Dominate up! Batta (locust)! Scorpion (scorpion)! Anomalocaris (anomalocaris)! Condor (vulture)! Genomix!]"

Four balls of mixed and twisted energy expanded from the belt to the whole body. As countless torturous electric currents flowed through his body, Ash, who endured the severe pain, armed himself with genomes that would bring great burden to the human body.

The stinging fists of the Anomalocaris, the poisonous tail of the scorpion, the anti-jointed alienated feet of the locust, and the steel wings of the vulture, these four enhanced weapons turned Timmons in front of Lily into a living monster.

"Quadruple Genome Armor, um... I really am an idiot."

But in this way, I can find some opportunities to compete with the current Pretty Cure.

"!"

Facing Lily, whose pupils were trembling violently, the muscles on the locust legs that were half-crouching and gathering strength tightened like a hemp rope, and at a certain moment, all the strength was completely released, launching Ash's body out like a cannonball, and colliding violently with Lily. The shock wave emitted from the collision between the two spread out like some kind of electromagnetic pulse, causing the bulbs of the surrounding street lamps to explode and shatter in an instant.

There was no time for the two to talk, their bodies instinctively commanded them to punch each other wildly. Both the Pretty Cure and the Kamen Rider's fists were "firing" crazily like machine guns. The two were completely covered by the continuous shadows of their own and each other's fists. Just standing by and watching would cause the dull thud of internal organ compression to blast out one semicircular tunnel after another around the two.

The wings behind her flapped up, and Lily followed closely behind with her toes touching the ground. Although her legs flashed like crescent moons and were avoided by Ash's body, the wings behind her were unfortunately hit, causing Ash to stall halfway and fall headfirst.

However, even in mid-air, the battle did not seem to stop. The two men standing upside down in the air were fighting each other with fists and feet. Every fight was a real one. The loud noises from the crazy collisions made the surrounding air vibrate uneasily.

"boom!"

The two people who landed again were in a stalemate. Lily gritted her teeth and held on to Ash, ignoring the pain from her hands and holding on to the pair of constantly wriggling blades of the Strange Shrimp Fist.

"Snap—Snap—Snap—"

The razor-like sharp blades that were originally hanging on the fist blades fell off and scattered in the tunnel that had been blasted out at the feet of the two men due to excessive use during this temporary pause.

"Ah~, as expected, the gap in strength is still not enough. You can be proud of yourself now, but Lily——"

The spider web head that was so close to Lily suddenly moved closer to her nose when she pursed her lips.

"This level is still not enough."

"You—what the hell!" Lily, on the verge of collapse, screamed in tears. "What are you looking forward to!?"

"From the beginning, I have only been looking forward to one thing, and that is your strength."

"Liar!" Lily continued to hold the position, increasing her strength. The Anomalocaris's fist blade actually cracked between her palms. "Liar, lie, lie, lie—liar, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The calmer a person is in normal times, the more intensely he or she will explode when something untouchable in his or her heart is violated.

Ash was thrown out by an irresistible force and smashed into the wall behind him. He pulled himself out of the wall and fell to his knees on the ground, unable to get up.

"Puff! Cough cough cough—cough cough cough!"

The scarlet liquid that spewed out of the man's mouth completely dyed the operating panel inside the visor red.

"No, Boss—the burden is about to drain you completely!"

"I know!" He pulled out the heart seeds he had stolen earlier and quickly took out two from inside. "This is also one of the purposes!"

He pressed the hidden buttons on both sides of the helmet with both hands, and the armor on the lower jaw slowly fell off with a burst of pale steam, falling to the ground with a crisp sound. In front of Lily, Ash threw the seeds into his mouth, crushed them and chewed them.

"Click, click, gurgle~"

Suddenly, a force flowed through his limbs and bones. That's right, this was the same force from the same source of vitality that the Heart Tree had instilled in him.

The power of light and kindness can just balance this body that is already filled with dark forces.

"Haaaa.....he needs to rely on her strength, really....what a useless man!"

"A...Ash..."

Lily, who had originally made up her mind to give chase, saw the bloody corner of Ash's mouth revealed after he took off half of his mask. The most eye-catching thing was the half of his face that was still smiling after licking the blood from his lips.

Why, even after all this, you still want to continue fighting with us, is it me...did I do something wrong?

Her heart was shaken in an instant, and she suddenly felt weak, and she was filled with the feeling of not wanting to fight at all.

"Ah...ah!" As long as the heart is exposed, the sadness that comes will bring Lily's heart to the brink of collapse. This punch seems to have exhausted Lily's strength. She sat down with her legs limp, and her face, covered by her hands, no longer shed tears.

"He clearly told me before... that the store manager back then was a very remarkable person... Now he's acting like this, that's too much..."

The ring on the trembling index finger seemed to have lost all its luster at this moment.

Suddenly, she thought of the Dark Pretty Cure from that day. The connection between their thoughts made her realize something, and many things she didn't understand were instantly answered. But Lily would rather not know anything.

I see, I lost...was it me who lost?

"It's not okay to become weak like this."

A ghostly voice sounded in her ears. Lily instinctively raised her hand and swung it, but it missed.

"Varied--"

There was only air where the hand knife slashed, and standing where the sound came from was only a scorpion tail piercing into the ground. It turned out that just before being attacked, Ash had used the tail behind him to push himself behind Lily.

Ash knew very well that even the Quadruple Timmons could not match the power of Cure Moonlight, but Lily had lost her composure for various reasons. This made the problem simple. All Ash had to do was avoid her attack and then look for...a flaw!

"[Charge]! [Demons Finish]!"

That is, now!

He pushed the two sides of the driver hard, burning with demonic energy, and generated several spider legs from his shoulders. The punch contained in the set hit Lily's unprotected back. The corrosive force throughout his body made the girl unable to move.

“[More]!”

Then, without any hesitation, Ash seized the one percent chance of victory, and once again pushed the two sides of the belt with his hands reversed, adding his ultimate move.

"[Batta! Scorpion! Anomalocaris! Condor!] [Demons Requiem!]"

The genetic armor on his body was released at the same time and turned into particles that gathered on Ash's right leg. The spider legs generated from his legs and back simultaneously concentrated all the power to one point, and then he kicked Lily in the waist with a spinning kick like a heavy axe.

Instantly, she was infused with immense power, her eyes dazed. The man swung her around, swaying her for a moment before she landed on the ground, leaving a series of gullies. Her silver-purple battle suit had been stained by the crimson energy, and now, covered in inky black lightning that rendered her unable to move, Lily lay crouched before Ash.

“How, how could it be…”

"That's why I said, you can't do this, right?"

"But I do have a good idea." Under Yueying Lily's incredulous gaze, Ash actually squatted in front of her and held out his hand. "Even though there's no reason, do you want to come over to my side?"

"If you come, I will give you the reassurance you need as a woman."

.........

Looking at the Kamen Rider in front of her in confusion, listening to the voice of Ash who had turned back at some point, Lily reached out to the outstretched hands with confused eyes.

Yes, if I just hold his hand, Ash, who has always guided me, will still be by my side, and I can still maintain that sense of security, I can... I can...

I.....

If I simply gave up my vows as Pretty Cure and joined his side, what would the meaning of everything he had done to help me stand up, all those days, all those feelings, be?!

"How is this possible!"

"Really?" Ash didn't look unhappy after taking his hand back. Instead, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Just keep doing this. They need you to be like this now. Okay, the current mission is completed. I'll wait for that to be delivered to me. Next..."

Ash turned to leave, seemingly not noticing Lily's eager hand reaching out to stop her. He turned his back to her and raised two fingers to stroke her head.

"Ciao~"

Already....Ash is nowhere to be found.

Looking at the broken and tattered things around her, with no trace left, Lily even wondered if she was mentally ill and had memory problems.

But...what has happened is reality.

Doubt, grievance, anger, and all kinds of emotions finally made Lily, who was lying on the ground, clench her fists stained with mud and smash them on the ground in front of her with grief and anger.
