Ash raised his left hand and pointed sharply, his serious eyes burning with a dark will.

"The world I want is not what people like you who lack imagination think it is!"

If it was me who had never come into contact with Pretty Cure, and who was constantly fighting in the endless world, being constantly cleansed by the echoes of darkness, to the point where even my soul and humanity were almost erased, I would probably really agree.

So....

"Can you imagine the reason? Those who have lost their brilliance will no longer be able to fight beautifully, nor can they perform any meaningful actions. In reality, they are no different from livestock in captivity."

A dangerous aura began to surge out from Ash's body. Now, what Joker said, in a sense, touched Ash's reverse scale and made him angry.

"Evil without justice is just empty fun, darkness without light has no meaning of existence, and an era without imagination is just the beginning of boredom." As he spoke, the smirk on the joker's mouth became more and more ferocious, and his expression became even more awful.

Ash calmly ordered them to leave.

"You are indeed a joker. In my opinion, you can only be a boring clown performing a ridiculous one-man show on the stage. You can't imagine what kind of world I want to see, and what kind of people I want to see!"

Ash raised his index finger and pointed it down hard.

"Don't mix my pride with a vile villain like you!"

"Now, either get out of here, or..." As he drew his sword, he quietly slashed the dark sword Yue'an across his back, then slammed it against the driving book that had appeared in his hand. "Be prepared to receive your death!"

[Guaranteed Kill Guide]! [Evil Flying Dragon]!

"You... do you think everything is as you calculated?" After being angered by Ash's "pretentiousness", the joker with red eyes behind the mask gradually began to reveal his true face. After all, with his strength and calculations, he didn't think Ash could beat him.

"Is that so? You can try it yourself and find out."

"Well, I can only regret..." The Joker's face, which was covered with a malicious smile, suddenly turned into an extremely ferocious expression. "Please die!"

After all, for the resurrection of Emperor Piero, I don’t like you being an unexpected factor, so you can only die!

As soon as Joker finished speaking, the purse where Ash had originally placed the tracker suddenly began to emit a huge light, instantly covering the figure of the man holding the sword and the book.

Ash closed his eyes and surrendered his body to his instincts, letting the darkness behind him envelop his fallen form.

"I thought you were a smart guy."

Where Ash had been standing, only wisps of smoke remained.

The Joker regained his calm and funny demeanor and stared at the semicircular gap in front of him with a smile, his tone seemed to be full of regret.

"Tick tock..."

The sound of liquid dripping echoed quietly from the dark space where there was nothing.

Chapter 18: Rest

"For someone like you, such behavior is really careless, isn't it?"

Unfortunately, humans are just humans after all. Didn’t your mother tell you not to take things given to you by others?

Originally, I wanted to have a good fight with you, but now it seems there is no need.

A tiny voice came from behind the Joker, who had not yet noticed it, like the limbs of a dragonfly touching a puddle in the rain, piercing the empty world behind the monster with an extremely rich black color.

"is it?"

The complacent Joker was performing a one-man show like any qualified villain, and he didn't notice the shadow of the crack that quietly appeared from behind him.

"I was thinking that working with you would be a very interesting experience, but what a pity~"

"It seems that it's Mr. Wang Jian who overestimates himself. This reminds me of a quote from a human that I really like."

“When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.”

"wrong."

The man's cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, and at such a close distance, it turned into an extremely cold and terrifying aura that enveloped him. The piercing sense of crisis that surged in his heart nailed the joker, who was performing an exaggerated one-man show and maintaining his funny movements, to the spot.

Even if it was just a fleeting glimpse, he felt as if he was in the darkness of hell.

"Gui Xi——!"

He's just a human being!

It was the joker who turned around quickly to respond, but his complacency made him unable to seize the best opportunity. An unavoidable moonlight, like black ink splashed on pure white rice paper, had already passed through his slender body.

[Learn a flash]!

Behind the half of the man's face covered in blood, as if it was also engraved in his soul that made him feel fear, there was only bloody murderous intent in his indifferent eyes.

"I am the abyss."

Ash learned two more things.

The first was that even a leader who was stronger than him could be careless at times. The second was that the leaders of the Tragedy Kingdom looked just like humans when they were bleeding.

He'll bleed, and then I can kill him.

"He escaped."

He raised his hand and wiped the blood off his face. Some of it was from the joker, but some was from his internal organs that were shaking and flowing out of his mouth.

In order to make the opponent careless and reveal a flaw, use the dark sword to create a gap in time and space behind you in advance, and use the fire to cover your escape at the same time as the explosion, and finally launch a fatal blow. It is indeed a very risky action. Even if you are well prepared, you cannot avoid all damage 100%.

But considering what was achieved, and the other party's terrified and confused escape, it was worth it.

"Running away without hesitation when you're not 100% sure is a wise decision, isn't it? But—"

Ash spat out another mouthful of blood, secretly despising such a guy from the bottom of his heart.

"You escaped so easily... Humph, I assumed you were trying to conserve your strength, but you don't even have the resolve to take me down, even at the risk of your own life? It seems I've been underestimated."

I don't feel that he has the courage to be a warrior. In the end, he is just a clown who makes people laugh.

If I were to become his enemy, what I would do next would be to force him into a desperate situation step by step. When he had nowhere to retreat, he would realize that not everything could be advanced by retreating.

"Your future self will regret not risking your own life to take mine."

With this thought in mind, Ash supported his chest with one hand, dragged his body with unknown internal injuries, and walked step by step towards the hidden exit in the rock.

Although it took a lot of effort to build this base, I originally thought that as a villain I would at least wait until the heroes' finale before demolishing the house and setting off fireworks. But unfortunately, this secret base is no longer a secret, and we have to avoid accidents.

It's impossible not to feel bad. He had finally finished decorating the interior and was planning to try out his old style this time, but there was no way...

Tragedy Kingdom, I, Ash, will remember this grudge!

"system."

[——]

The virtual panel popped up as usual when he heard the call. Although he was connected to the system and could accomplish various things with just a thought, Ash still preferred actual interaction to invisible instructions.

His fingers typed a string of codes on the keyboard that popped up on the panel at an invisible speed. Looking at the big exclamation mark that popped up on it, he turned back and took a last look at the cave base that he didn't even have time to name. Then, Ash gave the voice command without any lingering feelings.

"Activate the Knightfall Project."

As the ground behind him shook, he stepped on the constantly collapsing rubble, and heard the loud explosions. He felt his organs beating even more violently as Ash limped towards the sunlight outside.

“When the world was about to be divided into two colors, I seemed to have become an eyesore.”

Having lost his secret base and his place to stay in this world, Ash, who was alone and didn't even have time to get his ID, couldn't even stay in a hotel.

Although according to the tune of this world, if I knock on any door and make up a lie about being in trouble, the other party will most likely let me rest, but what should I say... have some shame, is there such a villain? This is too embarrassing, isn't it?

"But because of this, I cannot be erased here until one of my goals is achieved."

Therefore, in order to prepare for the final battle with Pretty Cure in a few days, I must rest as soon as possible to recover my strength and injuries!

Ash casually found a park bench, ignoring the dust on it, tugged at the collar of his black leather windbreaker, and lay down on it with his eyes closed.

Besides, I'm not some spoiled young master. I've even slept in trenches on rainy days. Why should I be afraid of this problem?

"System, alert me if someone approaches." Confidently handing over the safety issues to the system, Ash adjusted his breathing and followed the method of falling asleep quickly taught to him by others during the journey. He quickly entered a deep sleep state to repair various injuries in his body.

[I'm not your mother.]

Ash, who was snoring softly, naturally couldn't see the text displayed on the panel, but the system didn't retract it immediately. Instead, it maintained this shape and rotated towards a certain place.

"that is..."

The yellow soft fur, like that of a small animal, trembled slightly behind the big tree on the other side before slowly poking its head out.

Kise Yayoi walked out cautiously with a drawing board in her arms, staring at the man lying on the bench with nervous eyes, fearing that he would suddenly jump up and swallow her up like a big bad wolf eating a lamb.

Kise Yayoi's fear was certainly not without reason. The Smile Box could no longer transform me, which meant that no matter what this dangerous man wanted to do to me, I couldn't resist...

"Hmm?" Yayoi was surprised that the other party did not react to her, so she mustered up some courage and moved a little closer until she could see the man's peaceful face clearly.

Is this person asleep?

Chapter 19: Yayoi's Conflict

Kise Yayoi, whose personality is as soft as her hairstyle, so weak that she can be scared to tears just by someone talking too loudly next to her, never thought that she would become a hero one day, let alone transform into the legendary warrior: "Pretty Cure".

After all, this kind of person was someone she had only seen and admired in comics and on TV! How could a coward like her do well?

But on that day, when disaster struck, she awoke from despair through her own will, and to help her companions, she truly mustered the courage to become a warrior: "Cure Peace!"

Later, she and Miyuki met new friends together, and even the hero comics she had only dared to create secretly were recognized. Everything seemed to be developing in a positive direction...

Suddenly, an evil dragon broke into their fairy tale, shattered her dream with a slap, and mocked her and sent her back to the real world of her own powerlessness.

Having suffered a great blow, Yayoi was unable to let go of her worries. In the evening, she even took her easel out to relax outside. Unexpectedly, she ran into the culprit who had attacked her!

But why would the bad guy who called himself the evil dragon and bullied them for a while sleep on a park bench outside?

If you want to sleep, why don’t you go home and sleep?

Thinking about such a natural question, some cracks appeared in Yayoi's shadow of Ash.

Is this man...really a villain like the demons and werewolves from Tragedy Kingdom? Why does this feel...unnatural?

"Really, are you asleep?"

Yayoi moved a little closer and saw that his eyes were indeed closed. His breathing seemed steady from the rise and fall of his chest, indicating that he was indeed asleep.

But... even after doing such an outrageous thing to us, he can still sleep soundly with a clear conscience! Does that mean we are nothing to him?

Yayoi, with anger burning in her heart, puffed up her face and approached cautiously, but he still didn't wake up.

Ever since Ash handed over all the warning functions to the trusted system, he entered a defenseless deep sleep state to speed up his recovery. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Yayoi to get close enough to see his face clearly.

As the distance got closer, it was as if two angel and devil versions of "Yayoi" flew out of her heart, debating the next decision.

"No, Yayoi!" The angel-shaped 'Yayoi' surrounded Yayoi. "Although he did something unforgivable, as a good child, Yayoi shouldn't retaliate! Even if he is a bad person, Yayoi can't be a bad person!"

"It's his fault that he fell asleep defenseless. We might as well take this opportunity to do something to take revenge... Ugh!" The devil-like "Yayoi" was pointing at Ash who was sleeping on the bench with a strange smile, but with a loud snort from the man, he and the angel hid behind Yayoi himself and trembled.

"No, it feels terrible. I really shouldn't do it, okay?"

Angels and demons reached an agreement in Yayoi's heart.

She couldn't do it. Neither her courage nor her conscience would allow Yayoi to do such a thing.

No, what am I thinking! This person is very dangerous. Regardless of whether he has any plans or not, we need to leave now!

Although she was thinking this in her heart, Yayoi still couldn't help herself and took a step towards him as if possessed by the spirit. By the time she reacted, she had already taken the second step.

As the distance gets closer, the fearful memories and the overwhelming momentum of a sleeping lion are destroying her soft heart. Every step Yayoi takes requires great courage.

But no matter her trembling legs or increasingly loud breathing, she had no intention of giving up. If you ask why, there was indeed a purpose that kept driving her to get closer to Ash.

"Is this person really Kamen Rider..."

It seems that other people are not clear about this, but those who watch Yayoi on TV Asahi on time every week clearly understand the true form of Ash's transformation.

When she thought of this, and what Kamen Rider meant to her, Yayoi clenched her trembling teeth, just like the ancient Greek hero Perseus who approached Medusa step by step with a bronze shield in hand. She held the drawing board in front of her to avoid looking directly into the other person's eyes, and finally shortened the distance between her and Ash to the point where she could reach him.

Her eyes subconsciously swept across the man's slightly rising and falling chest. With a slightly red face, Yayoi quickly adjusted her sight, trying to find the evidence she wanted.

If we're talking about belts with sound effects, the Kamen Rider series is undoubtedly the most popular! Super Sentai's belts are mostly bracelets and cell phones, while Ultraman's belts are all about handheld gadgets... ahem, but I'm getting off topic.

But if you want to use the power of the sword and the book to transform and fight... the "Kamen Rider Fourze" currently being broadcast on TV Asahi is about a knight who uses the power of the astronomical switch, so this doesn't make sense?

Could it be that Oying hasn’t released any new works yet? Wait, then has my work been spoiled?
