Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Ah, Tangtang!" Seeing the equally depressed little white sheep elf crawling out of her backpack, the girl quickly carried her out. "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

"Oh, right, the healing accessory!" The girl took out a small strawberry-shaped accessory from the collection book, placed it in the empty slot in the makeup box, and pressed the emblem button in the center to activate it.

The healing accessories that the Pretty Cure collected when they defeated the Joker are not only sacred objects that contain incredible power and are used to help Tangtang save the Fairy Tale Kingdom, but can also exert abilities corresponding to the accessories.

"Let's go strawberry!"

For example, now, with the activation of the strawberry healing accessory, the light coming out of the makeup box turned into a bright red strawberry as big as Miyuki's head.

Tangtang, who was already depressed because of a bunch of bad things that happened today and was hungry, couldn't walk anymore when she smelled the sweet smell. The little elf with shining eyes picked up a strawberry that was almost as big as herself and started to eat it with relish. Her happiness index rose rapidly.

"I'm so full! I can finally relax after eating—ah, no!" Tangtang, who was lying on the ground holding her bulging belly, quickly realized that she had almost been led astray by this idiot! "It's everyone! Lihua and the others said that after they go home, they will gather at the Incredible Library to discuss countermeasures!"

"Ah!" The girl pounded her right fist against her left palm, as if hearing this suggestion for the first time. "I see, it seems like there's such a thing! I completely forgot about it!"

"Is this something to be proud of?!"

"Well, now it's time for the Pretty Cure's secret base to appear!"

She walked to the bookshelf in the room and slid a few books on it in a specific direction. Then, a light gate made of books leading to another world opened in front of the girl.

Just as she was about to enter the door of books, Miyuki suddenly remembered that the bad brother of the swordsman in a suit also called himself the evil dragon. In that case, would he also have a dark lair like a dragon that hides all kinds of treasures?

Hahaha, what am I thinking? If that's really the case, he might even secretly follow us to find our secret base for the treasure.

Mi Xing, who was entertaining herself, picked up Tangtang and stepped into the open door of the book.

"drink--!"

Deep in a dark and damp cave that was artificially opened, there are many artificial creations installed. If you look closely, you can find that the prototypes of these creations are completely beyond the reach of external technology!

Among these creations was Ash, who had taken off his shirt to reveal his streamlined and upright figure. At this moment, he was lying on the ground, sweating profusely.

Without using the [Showa Cyborg-level output] enhanced by the system, he lifted the heavy barbell above his head with his own strength alone. The muscle lines on the man's arms rotated and tightened like tight hemp ropes, and his full and tall chest trembled slightly with the movement.

"Huh..." Ash tossed the fully lifted barbell aside, slowly sat up, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Passed. How much is this time?"

[This time the weight is 600 pounds. Next time you can try 630 pounds.]

"Really?" The buzzing sound was not covered by the vibration made by the barbell falling to the ground. The shirtless man looked at the red dot on the screen that symbolized the position. It now showed the words [Out of Signal Area]. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up with interest.

"This is truly an unexpected gain."

Chapter 11: The Secret Base of Pretty Cure Invaded!

Passing through the light curtain of the Book Gate, the girl and the elf came to a world covered by huge and dense plants. Incredibly, there were countless books placed among these towering green plants, as if they were a huge bookshelf with the world as the axis. The world full of wonderful colors was simply a scene from a fairy tale.

"I am coming!"

The girl with Tangtang skipped on the grass towards the tree house in front of her, not noticing that as she moved, a small dot that kept flashing red light fell from the gap between her collar to the ground.

This is Smile Precure's secret base in a different world, the "Mysterious Library", a different world composed of the concepts of all books in the world.

"Ah, Lihua, Akane, Nao!"

I pushed open the wooden door of the big tree house in the center of the library, and sure enough, I saw other people waving and waiting inside the wooden house filled with cute colors.

Normally, this secret base is used by them to hold girls' tea parties or celebrate after defeating the enemy. It is a place that is associated with happy things in their hearts.

But at this moment, no one could be happy.

"Miyuki, is the head injury okay?"

"It's okay - it just hurts a little, it's nothing!" The girl answered confidently and looked around, only to find that the usual yellow figure was missing.

"Well." The girls' faces lacked smiles, and the slightly depressing atmosphere made even the usually optimistic Miyuki unable to smile. "Where's Yayoi? Didn't she come?"

"Yayoi said she won't be coming this time." Akane, speaking with an Osaka accent, recalled the look of despair on Yayoi's face when they parted ways, and shook her head with deep concern. "It seems like the result of Kamen Rider doing this to Yayoi is something she finds very difficult to accept."

"Is that so..." Everyone who got the answer fell silent. In their eyes, Kise Yayoi was a girl who was a little weak and tearful, but very strong inside. One of the reasons was that she was good at drawing comics and was very fond of boyish heroic works such as special effects and robots, and was influenced by them.

To put it another way, Yayoi was rejected on the spot by the existence she admired, so of course she would feel devastated, right?

"Damn it, that guy...!" Thinking of the swordsman who always spoke in incomprehensible riddles, the upright Akane became furious.

"I've watched a few episodes of Kamen Rider with my brother, but an unreasonable guy like that is not qualified to be a child's hero, right?!"

Do you know how much Yayoi liked it originally, but how disappointed she is now?!

Feeling a little bit of empathy with Yayoi, Miyuki thought about what it would be like if she were facing her favorite fairy tale protagonist Peter Pan, and no longer fantasized about herself as a princess like Cinderella... Miyuki shuddered all over.

Don’t do this!

"I tried again after I got back." Nao placed his Smile makeup case on the table. Ever since Ash's sword had pierced Dark Echo, the once vibrant transformation item had turned a dull, plastic gray, with even the water marks visible. "No matter what, I can't transform anymore, and the healing accessory won't work."

No matter how they try, it seems that their power alone cannot change the current situation. I'm afraid they still have to start with that person.

"But he only sealed ours, and spared Lihua and Miyuki."

Thinking of this, Midorikawa Nao was furious. What kind of thing is this? You have to leave them behind. Do you just want them to bear this responsibility? It's too much to throw such a burden on others!

And what does "you can't do it" mean? How can there be such unreasonable people in this world! I actually liked him - I was stunned at first sight, so embarrassing! My mom was right, the more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie!

It's decided, next time! Next time, I'm going to make him regret it and win!

"Really? You encountered something like this." Another voice appeared in the wooden house.

After using the mobile phone to heal the ornament, the image of another serious-looking little lion elf was projected from the ornament. He was Tangtang's brother Pop who stayed behind in the fairy tale kingdom.

"Brother Pop! That strange man bullied me and Pretty Cure. He kept saying words that we couldn't understand and never stopped calling Kuru!" Coming in front of her brother, Tangtang couldn't help but cry about her grievances to her relatives who were far away in another world.

"Tangtang, you were sent to the human world by the Queen. Even though I miss you so much, I can't help you directly." Although he felt distressed by his sister's coquettish behavior, he still hardened his heart and taught her a lesson. "Now that you're alone, you must be strong!"

A gentle expression flashed across his face, and the little lion put on his serious expression again and looked at the girls behind Tangtang.

"I've heard about this from Tangtang, right?" Pop, who had been conducting a thorough investigation of the Fairy Tale Kingdom, shook his head. "The Fairy Tale Kingdom is a land filled with the cuteness and joy of various fairy tales, and its inhabitants are mostly small, animal-like spirits. There's no way there are humanoids like that, and there wouldn't be dragons either."

"In that case, he is indeed the new enemy of the Kingdom of Tragedy!"

"No, I don't think so." Lihua shook her head. At this moment, her mind couldn't help but emerge the scene of Ash splitting the clown monster into two with a sword to protect them, and then the wind blew up his clothes and he turned his back to her.

"If he truly was from Tragedy Kingdom, he would have already defeated us all. All he had to do was take all the healing accessories away, and we'd be powerless to prevent the tragic ending, and Tragedy Kingdom would have achieved its goal." Lihua nodded as she thought more and more clearly. "If that were the case, there's no need for him to do anything unnecessary, or to say so much to us."

Sure enough, the key point is to unravel those suggestive words from his mouth...

Lihua thought carefully and shook her head. If it was a form of poetry puzzle, it would not be difficult for her who was serious about it. But to decipher Wang Jian's actions, which seemed casual but had a deep meaning, not to mention the three idiots whose eyes were already rolling around, even Lihua, who was always diligent and studious, felt it was too difficult.

"Everything has its coincidences, yet the outcome is as inevitable as fate. This is a sentence from a Chinese writer, but why do we say this?"

Does he mean that everything is arranged by fate... But what's the point? Fate is just fate. Is there anyone who can foresee what the future will be like?

"What does that mean, anyway?"

"Do you want to get the future answer that symbolizes the truth?"

"Hey, if you could tell me...!" Lihua responded subconsciously and suddenly realized that the voice talking to her was another man, and it was such a familiar and low voice!

Why, that person is here!

Chapter 12: What is a fairy tale?

"Tear--"

The sound was like nails scratching on a blackboard. The girls covered their ears in unbearable pain. As they watched with horror, a golden sword blade suddenly shot out from the air in front of them. Like black paint leaving a mark on a white canvas, the sword blade gradually began to tear a dark crack in the empty space as it moved downwards.

The sword was quickly retracted from the other side of the crack, but before the girls could be happy, they saw a pair of hands stabbing from the other side. The man's fingers grabbed both sides of the crack and pulled them apart under their devilish eyes.

"No—that!"

As if affected by something, the projected pop image began to blur as if the signal was bad, until the crack was completely torn open, causing him to completely lose the signal on this side.

The Dark Sword Yue'an possesses the ability to slash and cut through space, allowing him to move within the darkness. Furthermore, with Hoshizora Miyuki, who unknowingly became a guide, Ash could easily find this other world adjacent to his own.

The figure that appeared from the other side of the ever-widening space crack was indeed that of the Evil Dragon Swordsman!

Seeing the shocking thing happening in front of them, the girls quickly backed away until their backs were pressed against the wall, looking warily at the man in a suit who had come out.

"Wow—is this the secret base of Pretty Cure?" Without doing anything to the shivering girls immediately, Ash, with his sword pressed on the ground with both hands, observed everything around him with great interest.

The lush green world and the giant tree house have a very fantasy-like feel. Most importantly, the beautiful scenery is all natural. Those who spent huge sums of money to build huge bases would be envious when they see it.

"Indeed, it has a very girly style, and suits you very well."

"You, what do you want to do!" Even though he had lost the power to transform, Naoya still took the initiative to stand in front of everyone and angrily scolded Ash who was gradually approaching.

"What do I want to do..." Ash didn't answer, but continued to beat around the bush. "Are you asking me something like that? How interesting."

"You—!" He stammered, his cheeks flushing red. "Don't talk nonsense, you frivolous guy! I won't—I won't believe a word you say!"

"Is that so? Well... I can't help but feel sad for you when I think about such a beautiful green world being burned to ashes later."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's alertness level rose to another level. The enraged girls' pupils were burning with anger. The two girls who could still transform had already clenched their makeup boxes and were staring at the man in front of them who was saying strange things.

"What do you mean? Is this what you want to do?!"

"This world is the world that carries our beautiful memories. We won't let you do anything!"

"Tangtang is going to stop you Kuru too!"

"I'm really pleased to see such a united and motivated spirit, but if you guys misunderstand me, I won't be bothered."

Ash could understand the girls' anger, but even though he said something that sounded like a threat, based on the prophecy of the future, it was definitely not Ash who did this.

After all, my general strategy is to seize the secret base and use it for myself, so there is no need for him to do so, right?

"What would I do?" Ash sheathed his sword and slowly walked over to their lovely wooden round table. He casually pulled out Yayoi's chair and sat on it. Under Lihua's glare, he crossed his legs rudely on the table. "That's not a question you should ask me. You should ask yourselves."

"After all, it is you who decide this matter."

"?"x5

What strange things is this person saying again?

"You seem to call this place the Mysterious Library, so I'll call it that too... huh?" The man, who obviously had no intention of clearing up their confusion, casually changed the subject. At this moment, the faint light emitted from his pocket attracted his attention.

Not caring about the reactions of Miyuki and the others on the other side of the table, he pulled the book "Evil Dragon" out of his pocket. Ash felt the message that the evil dragon conveyed to him, which was also a book.

"Really? So this mysterious library of yours is actually a collection of all the books in the world... Hey, what a similarity."

"Emerald green wind, azure ice, vanishing yellow thunder." He rudely pointed his finger at Midorikawa Nao and Aoki Reika, and finally, to Miyuki's expectant face, he moved directly to Hino Akane. "And the crimson... or was it the orange fire?"

Well, the pink one isn't a musician and isn't smart at all, it doesn't match at all.

"Wait, why did you specifically skip me?!"

Miyuki, who was the only one left out, had an expression of "What about me?" on her face. She began to feel indignant, and at the same time, she made a promise to make this person change drastically.

"Perhaps your world also has a book about its creation." Ash casually pulled out a copy of Snow White's story from the side and flipped through it. He closed it, seeing a version of the story he'd read countless times before. "And the source of knowledge and power lies there... Ha, a fairy tale? Are you kidding me?"

"Fairy tales are just lies for children, idiot~"

"How can you say that!" Miyuki, a fairy tale lover, immediately jumped in to refute him, especially because he had inexplicably become an idiot. "Fairy tales are stories created for children through rich imagination and fantasy, and they are also beautiful stories that can make anyone smile! As for me, no matter how many times I read the picture books, I will be moved again and again! It will never be boring!"

A simple yet touching story serves as an introduction to the world of storytelling, allowing people of all ages to smile and be moved from the bottom of their hearts after reading it. This is what a fairy tale should be like! How can it be said to deceive children?

Also, the Snow White book you have in your hand is mine, give it back to me!

"No, in my world, fairy tales are meant to warn children against dangerous things. Stories made up to scare them are far from beautiful." He casually tossed the book into the flustered Miyuki's hands, watching her frantically catch it. "Writers would probably love someone like you... But do you think fairy tales always have happy endings?"

"At least the princess and Little Red Riding Hood in the fairy tale, the hunter's rifle and the prince's sword, can't defeat an enemy like the dragon."

Ash's strange tone made Miyuki and Lihua, who were being watched, shudder all over.

Why is it that even though it was clearly said by a bad guy, it sounded as if he had actually seen it?

Seeing that Miyuki and Lihua, the only two combatants at the moment, hesitated after hearing what he said, Ash narrowed his eyes and stopped tapping the book.

If this is just a fairy tale, then it's almost time for me to put the final period to it... Hehe, even I feel a little sad.

Chapter 13: Overly Complicated Eyes

There's no doubt that Ash loves heroes. He can be a hindrance sometimes, a companion sometimes, but he'll never stand in the way of a hero pursuing his own path!

However, Ash, who has been traveling so far, also understands one thing.
