Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Following the movements in their hearts, the seeds of their hearts were thrown high into the air. Five seeds of different colors, brighter than crystals, bloomed with rainbow light under the sun's rays.

Time is forever frozen at this moment.

"sand--"

A figure walked on the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert scorched by the scorching sun. The person, wrapped in black cloth, seemed completely unaffected by the unbearable temperature around her. She just took firm steps forward, and the long string of footprints left behind was gradually completely covered by the swirling sand.

A gust of hot desert wind blew away the hood on his head, revealing the beautiful face of the dark pretty girl, who was a little pale.

"Huh." The beautiful girl of darkness would naturally not be affected by the temperature environment. Even the air she exhaled in such a desert area had a hint of coolness.

Her mission was meaningless, her enemies were nowhere to be found, and she, who was born to fight, no longer had the need to fight. So she said goodbye to her father and set out on a journey alone, aiming to explore all the deserts on earth.

Xiao An opened his heterochromic eyes carefully and looked around at the endless ochre color, feeling the desolation rising from his heart.

"We've been walking for so long, let's have some water." A small hand handed out a bottle of mineral water from somewhere. Xiao An nodded his forehead slightly and unscrewed the lid.

"Thank you, Kain."

"You're welcome~"

Looking at the crystal-clear water droplets that leaked out from the corners of the girl's mouth, slowly slid down her delicate cheeks and neck, and finally accumulated in the dimples on her collarbone, a small ball of purple hair crawled out from under the hood and shook the silly hair on its head.

I, Kain, am still alive.

As for why this happened, it was probably because the souls of elves would return to the Heart Tree after death, and I had borrowed the appearance of the elf named Kelon, so by some strange coincidence, when my consciousness faded, I was preserved by the Heart Tree, and was really reincarnated as an elf.

Not to mention Ash, I'm afraid even that clever system wouldn't have thought of this, right?

There was no other way. Now that Kain was left here, he could only wait for Ash to come and pick him up. Before that, Kain decided to accompany them to take a few more baths.

"Actually, Xiao An, you don't have to be like this, do you?" Facing the stubborn Xiao An alone, Kain felt the same headache he felt when he was with Ash. "While I understand that you and Lily don't get along, there's no need to continue the fight. No one is rejecting you."

"And your father didn't abandon you like the other scumbag dads on the set. Even that lady didn't reject you. Xiao An, you didn't have a normal childhood, so you deserve a normal life."

"But Moonlight deserves it more than I do." Swallowing the moisture in his throat, Xiao An stared at the once-destroyed moon, now invisible during the day. "Only when they are together as a family can they be truly family. Only then can they be truly happy, and I am not."

"You..." Kain couldn't help but hold his forehead, wondering how this girl learned all of Ash's bad habits.

"All right."

Putting away the water bottle, the Dark Pretty Girl continued her lonely journey alone.

Ash, that black red spider lily is the flower of the heart that still blooms in such a lonely and dangerous desert, right?

So I wanted to witness and feel it.

I want to witness the scenery you have seen.

Want to feel, feel the emotions you feel.

"This way, I can be closer to you."

-----

"Wow~"

Ever since that final farewell, Yueying Lily hadn't been wallowing in sadness. It was as if she had simply learned and accepted the news. There was no sadness or tears.

The days passed one by one, until one day, it was as if God suddenly pressed the replay button on a whim.

"It's raining again."

It was a rainy day. Lily's umbrella was deformed by the strong wind and she was soaked to the bone, just like that day, and again and again.

Ash once warned them not to play in the rain because they would catch a cold, but Ash had ignored her warnings many times in the past, so as a "revenge", Lily decided to ignore him once.

Yueying Lily was walking in the alley leisurely, getting caught in the familiar rain on the deserted road. She was not in a hurry to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Her best friend Lai Hai Taoxiang once said that she had changed, that she had become more approachable but colder inside. She herself refuted that she had not changed. Now think about it, life is about constantly gaining and giving up something. Now that she has gained and given up something, she must have changed, right?

Before she knew it, she was at the door of the coffee shop that she would never forget.

"!"

She was leaning against the door to avoid the rain when she suddenly realized that Nasta Café had been destroyed due to the riot caused by its owner. So what was going on now?

She habitually tried to push the door open, but it didn't budge. Even though the lights inside were still on, she knew the store had been closed for a long time.

She rummaged through her wet waist bag, trying to find the key, the key that once meant so much to her, but still found nothing.

My keys were scattered all over the floor, but the one I wanted was missing.

"boom!"

"boom!!"

I knocked on the door again and again, just hoping that I could still get in, again and again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The knocking sounds became louder and more impatient.

Finally, Lily seemed to have lost all her strength and knelt down in front of the door. Tears flowed along with the rain, and her crying was drowned out by the sound of the rain.

After all this time, she still missed him.

How could she not miss him?

Lily's tears mixed with hers and dripped onto the place only they knew where Ash had hidden the spare key.

The broken teardrops splashed a silver-gray iron color.

"Erika's father has recently started wanting her to learn photography with him, but Erika seems to be completely uninterested. You'll definitely be very interested in her awkward and helpless expression, right?"

Next to the roots of the Heart Tree, Lei, wearing a kimono, was talking to a wooden sign with Ash's name written on it.

After Ash's death, no body was left behind, and the only coffee shop that could prove his existence during that period was also destroyed. It seemed that he had completely disappeared from the world without leaving even a trace. The girls thought this was too cruel, so they built a cenotaph for him here, and occasionally came to pay homage at specific times.

"Speaking of which, my little sister Futaba is already born. She's so cute, really, really, really cute! I'll give her the gift you prepared once she learns to read. It's a pity I can't bring her up here, otherwise I'd really like to show you~"

"As for the gift you gave me, I haven't opened it yet. How should I put it? I think I know what it is, but I don't want to know what it is. I'm afraid I'll cry out of regret when I see it, so let it be. I'll keep it well."

"Can you believe it? Lily-sister seems to have received sponsorship from someone, so she was able to return to the track and field team she had left long ago. I know you must be—"

"Of course he will be happy."

"Erika?" Rei, who had been talking, heard the voice behind her and turned to see her best friend. "I thought you didn't—"

"Today was the day we first met him, right? Of course I remember it." Erika, wearing a pure white dress, held her straw hat in her arms, several bouquets of flowers in her arms. "To prevent you from talking too much and blaming yourself, I went to your store and brought him some flowers."

"But... I could have saved him that time." Lei seemed still resentful of the deal. "The world is peaceful and we're all happy now, but that was so sad for him. How can we feel at peace..."

"bud."

Placing the flowers next to the wooden sign, alongside other people's gifts, Erika bowed solemnly to him.

"This overly kind heart of yours is one of your strengths, but you can't let it affect you. Do you think the store manager wants you to become addicted or live a good life?"

Erika held Lei's hand and flew away with the elves.

“That’s why we need to live a happier life.”

"drink--"

The girl's shoulder-length golden hair flew up into the air with her passionate movements, and the sweat mixed in her hair left some wet marks on the back of her Taoist uniform.

Since his brother received treatment, his naturally weak physique has been significantly improved. As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Perhaps it was the experience of turning into a monster that made his brother's healthy physique gradually surpass the range of ordinary people.

Now, the two "inhuman" brothers and sisters of the Mingtangyuan family are engaged in a fierce martial arts confrontation.

Although her brother was gifted, Wu Mu, who had a more extensive collection of skills, defended against a crucial kick and then immediately counterattacked sideways. Her extremely sharp palm strikes gave her the confidence to defeat the enemy in one move, but her overly hasty attack revealed a flaw in the originally sure-fire attack.

By the time Wu Mu reacted, it was too late. As expected, his brother Mingtang Yuangao grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground with one move.

"Huh...Huh...I lost."

"No, I should have lost." The brother, whose face was more feminine than that of most women, smiled gently at his sister. "But you just happened to reveal your flaws. What happened, Itsuki?"

"Hmm... I thought of someone." Wu Mu was silent for a moment before finally confessing the truth. "Such an intense battle reminded me of that time."

"Is it the masked man who mentored you?"

Wu Mu nodded. At that time, he was still called Timmons.

A similar scene reminded Wu Mu of that person, but he did not feel sad. Only a faint sense of nostalgia and regret flowed in his chest.

"I heard that gentleman on that day..." The brother shook his head and didn't say it directly. "Does Wu Mu like him?"

"I guess I do like her, right?" The girl shyly scratched her cheek. She wasn't sure if that feeling actually counted as love. "However, unlike the others, I don't have Erika's enthusiasm for her dreams, nor do I have Rei's devotion, and I certainly can't match Yuri-san's deep affection."

"I just think that if I can always be by his side and help everyone, I will be very happy."

While everyone is trying hard to get in touch with him for the one they love, I think things are good enough now. It doesn't matter if there is no passionate response, as long as the two of them are still close to each other.

To be honest, I wasn't serious enough. This is probably the reason why I can be dazzling in his eyes but not conspicuous enough.

"Haha, Wu Mu, you really like it." The brother gently gave his sister an encouraging smile. "Are you enduring sadness in this kind of thing?"

"It's sad, but I don't want to be entangled forever. I don't want to disappoint him." The man in my memory always had a mask on his face. "I don't want it, and neither does he."

I will pray for him who doesn't know where he is going, pray for his happiness, pray for his peace, and pray that he will no longer be lonely.

“I am now just…”

I miss him a little bit...

"Itsuki——!"

The voice from behind woke her up from her thoughts, and when she turned around, she saw her three friends waving at her.

The wind of peace blows across the peaceful world.

It is probably difficult for later generations to imagine that there was once a story about the King of Desert Apostles who planned to turn the entire Earth and all the lives on it into dust, until a legendary light that penetrated the Milky Way ended everything, and the dazzling light healed all the scars.

The legend of Pretty Cure has once again saved the world and will surely continue to be passed down.

Of course, even the most glorious story was from a few months ago.

Now four of the five girls who had saved the Earth were teasing the newborn baby sister in Lei's mother's arms.

"Hehe, so cute~" Erika kept poking the little sister's soft cheeks. "Because I'm a younger sister, I didn't know there were such benefits to having a younger sister... But it's still hard to imagine that soft and fluffy Lei is a big sister or something, I poke~"

"Sister Lily and Wu Mu, do you want to try it too?" The two of them couldn't help but gently touch the newborn's unusually smooth skin with their fingers, and a wonderful feeling suddenly emerged from the bottom of their hearts.

This is the new life we ​​have protected by working hard to overcome despair.

"Really? No matter how cute she is, you can't keep poking Futaba's face. I've been holding back from poking her!" Faced with Lei who was beginning to become a little protective of her sister, her mother and everyone else all smiled kindly.

After saying goodbye to their mother, everyone chatted about recent events, such as how someone was confessed to and then rejected the other person's daily life. As they walked, the girls stood on the grass where Lei first met the elf and transformed for the first time.

"We're truly amazing!" Erika, hands on her hips, said with a smug look on her face. "As a beautiful middle school girl, we actually saved the world. The world is so bright now, and it's all thanks to us!"

"This is the thousandth time I've heard Erika say this, and I'm almost at the end of my patience..." Erika retorted to Rei's rant. "But didn't Rei think we were amazing before?! And think about our infinite silhouettes—that's infinite love and infinite power! Ahhhhhh~ What could be more exciting in my life?"

"Fufu, it seems like this honor is too early for Erika." Lily, holding three elves in her arms and fully utilizing her seniority, began to lecture seriously. "If you attach too much importance to past glory and keep clinging to the past, you won't be able to move forward."

"sorry...."

"In the past, it was the Great Tree of Heart and him who protected us, but from now on, it will be up to our own grown hearts to nurture this world." Lily's eyes gleamed. "So we can't always rely on infinite power and infinite love."

"After all, this is our own life."

After drinking a bowl of Pretty Cure-style chicken soup, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

"Life is so profound..." Erika's pretentious tone once again made everyone laugh. "But anyway, I'm going to work hard to become a world-famous fashion designer!"

"As for me, I'm going to continue practicing the Myōdōin-ryū martial arts while taking on various challenges. What's your dream, Yuri-san?"

"My...dream?" Holding the elf's fingers, he pulled a familiar key from his breast pocket. "I need to make some plans for my life... Let's start by becoming a mistress who surpasses all men."

"I—" Looking up at the distant sky, Lei's eyes seemed to hold countless stars, like infinite silhouettes. "I want to go to space and cultivate flowers that bloom in it!"

Because that day I saw it - those extremely gentle eyes.
