Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

An ugly shadow fell on Miyuki's forehead, and the expression on her face instantly became terrified, as if she was about to scream in terror in the next second.

"ah--?!"

Then she really screamed.

Suddenly, an unknown being appears, seemingly stalking you... Do you know how terrifying this is? Do you know how much psychological trauma this will cause to Pretty Cure?!

"What, what happened?!"

The other four were frightened by Miyuki's sudden scream and became nervous, especially the timid Yayoi, who had tears in her eyes. Miyuki quickly waved her hand and pointed in that direction.

"There's something there, right there—" Miyuki's raised hand and the expression on her face froze in place.

When everyone looked in the direction of the finger, they were all confused. There was clearly nothing there except the corner of the wall with fallen leaves rolling in the breeze.

"What's wrong, Miyuki? Did you eat something unclean?"

"Hino Akane", who has beautiful wheat-colored skin, put her forehead against Miyuki's, testing the temperature. After a while, she shook her head, and the orange hair that gently swept across her made Miyuki's nose itchy.

"I don't have a fever either... Hmm, Miyuki must have been too lazy lately, and her physical fitness has declined, which is why I feel strange! How about working out with me tomorrow?"

No way! Why did I suddenly become a slack and lazy bad kid?!

The more others cared, the more depressed Miyuki felt.

"A-choo—there really is something, something is staring at us!"

Why did it disappear just when I called other people? Could it be...an unclean thing?

Thinking of this, Miyuki's expression was instantly filled with fear. Her palms became wet, her feet and scalp felt numb, and she began to sweat all over.

Fairy tales and my mother both told me that ghosts would secretly take away naughty children who did bad things and eat them...

"Wow--!"

Miyuki burst into tears in front of everyone's astonished gaze, and with tearful face, she bowed repeatedly in that direction until she almost knelt on the ground.

"Mr. Ghost, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to secretly eat Tangtang's snacks. I was just too greedy!"

"Ah, it turns out that Meixing stole Tangtang's snacks!" After hearing Meixing's self-exposure, the goat-horned elf "Tangtang" who had been hiding in the small schoolbag immediately flew out angrily, pulling two hairs of Meixing who kept lowering her head, and shaking her head up and down.

"Aside from not paying attention in class and not doing well on tests, which left Mom with no choice, I've never done anything bad! I'll be a good child, please let me go! Don't eat me!"

Facing Miyuki's crying and shouting, the four girls beside her looked at each other, and finally showed helpless expressions at the same time.

"Miyuki." Midorikawa Nao, her green ponytail swaying with her movements, gently comforted Miyuki, drawing on her experience raising younger siblings. "There are no ghosts in this world. Don't scare yourself."

"Really, really?"

"Of course it's true. We Pretty Cure live in a world of science."

"But, we're Pretty Cure, and there are spirits like Tangtang. Is this world really... without ghosts?"

"Big... probably not?"

Standing behind a corner not far away, observing the five girls who were awkwardly but laughing with each other, Ash, dressed in a formal black suit, emerged from the shadows behind the wall like a ghost.

Following the man's movements, the slender, sharp object hidden on the outside of his thigh also began to swing.

"No one else noticed, but she didn't notice it, yet she felt it. Her intuition is as sharp as her sixth sense, but—"

Miyuki cast her eyes towards the two croissants, her body covered in goosebumps. When she turned back again, there was no one there.

"Your brain isn't working very well... You don't look very smart, do you?"

No wonder... He looked as if he couldn't wait to say to me, "Come and lie to me!"

Ash narrowed his eyes subtly.

Chapter 2 Ash's Personal Opinion

Ash has a very clear self-awareness. He is a self-centered villain who never bothers to understand others and whose primary goal is to satisfy himself.

The reason someone like him would get along so well with those decent heroes was simply because he liked their heroic nature from the very beginning. If it weren't for this slightly funny reason, there's no guarantee that Ash wouldn't degenerate into some kind of chaotic abyss.

As for why they often act as villains, but even I become a partner of justice... I can only say that if you get too close to them, you will be attracted and infected by the dazzling light of their hearts, and you can't help but want to become their companions!

This is much better than brainwashing, mind control, and corruption! It doesn't distort your own spirit and will at all. Just relying on your own charm to make people want to help them willingly, to the point of becoming their friends... What is this, just corruption?

Because of this, Ash always has a subtle feeling for the heroes who want to help him. Not to mention that after seemingly not going to the special effects world again, he has gained a new bond with them that will not be lost even if he forgets his memories.

As for the Pretty Cures who had saved and helped him twice, touching the softest part of his heart, Ash now faced the rainbow's current colors and recalled his friend's advice to "treat girls gently, like treasures." He felt that he didn't need to embarrass them as he had in the past, but...

Thinking of the several battles he had witnessed not long ago, Ash's blood pressure rose rapidly and he almost couldn't help but slap himself in the face.

Not to mention the various amateur teammates' poor operation and combat skills, who doesn't have time to be a novice?

But the problem is that after transforming, you can even fall flat on the ground when you walk... Let's not talk about this. What does it mean that even if someone stands in front of you and doesn't move, you can still miss even if you use your ultimate skill? When you encounter an obvious counter move and your moves are useless, you still foolishly exhaust your own energy?

Even worse than that reporter who just transformed for the first time... No, not even as good as that sister complex guy who just transformed for the first time! At least when they see an attack, they will hide their heads and run away instead of just watching themselves get beaten to the ground!

It's obvious that everyone has the strength to easily defeat the enemy in a one-on-one fight if they work hard, but why is it that every time I see them, they almost get wiped out?

A legendary warrior? A beautiful healer? A guardian of hope?

Why does he seem even less intelligent than the average Hot-Blooded Sentai character? Damn, how can I have a happy ending with a Pretty Cure like this?

No wonder Dark Sword keeps telling me to watch BAD END every day. I haven't done anything yet. I know not everyone is as talented as me and I shouldn't have too high expectations... But who can give me the boost in blood pressure?

"My friend, you said you wanted to treat it like a treasure... but it's surprisingly difficult."

Ash couldn't help but sigh.

I'd better not get along with them this time. After all, I'm on good terms with the other Pretty Cure girls. What does that have to do with me?

Thinking of this, Ash's vision sharpened.

Suddenly, everyone felt an extremely cold wind blowing across their backs. The feeling was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper cutting through them, making them feel terrified. The people, who were still wearing short sleeves and short skirts in the middle of summer, immediately hugged their arms and shivered.

"Really, there really aren't any ghosts, right?" Miyuki's voice was already filled with tears, just like Yayoi, who loved to cry so much that she actually cried.

"Wow, wow wow wow, no, don't scare me!"

"Of course not—maybe not, right?"

After hearing what Miyuki said, the girls who had not taken it seriously began to feel that something strange was really staring at them. The discomfort of being watched made the girls feel as if ants were gnawing at them all over their bodies.

"Lihua, do you think Meixing is really..."

"No, I still believe there are no ghosts in this world." Reika, the only one who remained calm, shook her head at the question from "Childhood Plum" Midorikawa Nao. "But, Miyuki might have seen something. On the bright side, maybe it was just a passerby or a nimble wild cat."

"What if I think of the worst?" Thinking of the insects he was afraid of, Zhi began to sweat on his face.

"Then maybe there really is someone secretly keeping an eye on Miyuki, planning to follow her or even do something to her, a perverted stalker!" Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by the serious reasoning from the relatives and friends I had known since childhood.

"Lihua, this is scarier than a ghost. What kind of stalker is this that I've never heard of?"

"We can't just leave this kind of thing alone."

After looking at Miyuki who was beginning to become suspicious, Lihua made up her mind.

It’s better to call the police!

"—"

While they were talking and joking, a dark purple curtain suddenly covered the sky, completely violating the laws of the earth's weather, and turned the entire world into a gloomy and dark existence.

The Pretty Cures, who possess the source of healing and pure power, immediately sensed the existence of a giant barrier covering the entire Earth. At the same time, a heavy feeling of extremely repressive sadness came over them, instantly placing another huge rock on the hearts of the girls, who were already in a bad mood.

"No, I have no reason to live anymore."

"Why bother studying? There's no hope."

"I don't want to work anymore."

As far as the eye could see, passers-by, young and old, lay on the ground with expressions of world-weariness on their faces, and the dark "tragic energy" was drawn out of them and drifted away into the distance.

"This is someone from the Tragedy Kingdom!" The elf Tangtang, who had been the target of the attack, immediately called out the enemy's true identity.

The girls also realized that this was another attack from their enemy, the "Kingdom of Tragedy". This barrier could cover the world in an instant. If they were not protected by the power of light and beauty and had strong hearts, they would have fallen to the ground like everyone else!

"Everyone, transform!"

Putting aside the question of whether it was a ghost or a perverted stalker for the time being, the five people nervously took out their transformation devices, the "Smiling Makeup Box".

Place the "Healing Jewelry", a treasure from the kingdom of elves and the fairy tale kingdom, into the makeup box, take out the powder stained with different colors of energy and pat themselves, and the originally ordinary students will instantly be filled with different elemental powers, and the five-colored battle suits will be draped on them under the light of the gems in the makeup box.

In a place where no one noticed, a dark phantom was walking on the street where no one was awake at the moment, and the sound of footsteps was clearly audible.

Chapter 3 Dark Sword Riddler

"Oh, world, enter the worst tragic ending! Let the blank future be stained with darkness—"

Ash looked up at the werewolf villain standing on a high place. He crushed a tube of black paint and smeared it on the book in his hand. He unfolded the barrier and turned the object at hand into a monster with a huge red nose.

"The villain's name is Tragedy Kingdom. Humph, I really have a connection with the so-called bad end."

Ash also knew something about the existence of this "Kingdom of Tragedy". Every time the people in this organization launched an attack, they would open a barrier to make the whole world enter a state of inevitable "tragic ending". All intelligent creatures in the barrier would lose hope because of the desperate tragic ending of life, thereby generating a so-called "tragic energy".

Afterwards, they collect this energy to resurrect their boss. In terms of efficiency, there is naturally no doubt... Well, does it feel a bit like déjà vu?

In fact, if it was just a "model opera" like this, it would be fine. The problem lies in this "tragic ending"!

The dark sword Yue'an in Ash's hand now has the ability to predict the worst "BAD END" for its user.

This is exactly a conflict of settings to some extent. Even though Ash has the "Universal Adaptor" that can reduce the side effects of props, he can't withstand the high-intensity BAD END information bombardment 24 hours a day!

Q! Now that Ash possesses the holy sword that can predict the worst possible outcome, what will he do when faced with heroes who are completely unqualified?

"I understand."

Ash slowly pulled out the holy sword from the sheath at his waist, a completely serious look on his face.

"Why do the King Swords always say things I can't understand? Why is the Dark Sword Yue'an, which is named after darkness, actually a holy sword? And what should I do now?"

The sharp edge of the holy sword pierced the ground, creating a few sparks. The man walked around the passers-by who had fallen to the ground and lost hope. The dark sword that was stabbed at the man's feet and dragged across the ground left a winding and tiny groove behind him.

"I understand it all."

"Hahahaha, Pretty Cure, this is definitely your death!"

The werewolf cadre "Wolfren" standing on a high-rise building, commanding the assassin substance "Joker Monster" who is the enemy of the girls in this world, waved to them.

"Five-colored light leads the future!" The girls who completed the roll call stood on the opposite side and called out the name of their own group.

"Shine, Smile precure!"

The girls, dressed in colorful battle suits that resemble cute dresses and striking a pose, will fight against the evil Kingdom of Tragedy for the smiles on the world.

In order to prevent the world from falling into the worst tragic ending, the girls with simple hearts fought hard.

But, it still seems a little immature.

"Oh no!" Miyuki was upset and couldn't withstand the attack of the clown monster as big as a building in front of her. Feeling unable to bear it, she quickly stepped back to avoid it, but she didn't notice Yayoi who was standing behind her at all.

The result was that the two girls, one pink and one yellow, bumped into each other directly, and then were slapped away by the merciless clown monster with screams.

"Happy! Peace!" The startled Qian quickly called out their battle names, but she also revealed her flaw and was kicked into the river next to her and became a drowned chicken.

"It hurts..." Tears welled up in Yayoi's eyes as she cast a completely bewildered look at her companion. "What's wrong, Happy? Are you feeling down?"

"Sorry... It's my fault! But!" Miyuki fell sideways to the ground, her entire arm aching and numbing. She clutched her shoulder and gasped. "The thought of us being observed without our knowledge is terrifying. I just can't muster the energy..."

"If you say that, Miyuki, I'd be scared too! But you can't get distracted while fighting the clown monster, or you might lose!"

"I know that, but—"

"Gahhahaha!" Seeing the werewolf Wolfren's successful attack on the clown monster, he jumped down from the building and laughed at them loudly. The frustration of his monsters being defeated several times before was swept away. "See, Pretty Cure? This is my true strength!"

"You didn't even fight, you just released the monsters!"

"What do you little girls know?" Faced with the little girls' complaints, Wolfren immediately retorted as if he was right. "To deal with you little girls, I only need the clown monster. Wait until I can unleash my true strength—"

"It's almost time for you to leave."

"Yeah, that's pretty much me—who is it!?"
