Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

After waiting for a "long time", the imagined pain and terrible death did not come as expected.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a man in a suit wearing black gloves and gauntlets with his back to him, and a golden sword in his raised right hand flashed with a cold light.

The man who was half-crouching in front of him with his sword drawn just took the time to slowly put the deep purple holy sword into his sheath.

The steel bar that was about to fall above their heads also made a crisp "ding" sound as the holy sword was sheathed, and it broke into two halves from the middle along the smooth and hot traces.

Chapter 40: Heroes, of course they are real!

"boom!"

The steel bars were cut smoothly from the center and split to both sides, falling beside them. The loud noise blew the dusty corners of the man's clothes off the ground.

"Really? I actually did something so unnecessary." Ash stood up again and complained about the culprit who wasn't there. "Damn it, did I really underestimate him?"

She was ready to face the terrible bad end, but the flag she had raised was broken into two pieces by the man who suddenly broke in and pressed it on his knees. The reborn Yayoi opened her mouth wide, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"You...really managed to rescue these people from over there?" He glanced at the workers who had been dragged safely behind the barrier by Yayoi with some disbelief, and exclaimed in amazement, "Your thin arms and legs...really, is this considered a miracle?"

Come on, she's just a little girl, and those workers are all adults. This doesn't apply to the law of conservation of mass! Okay, this is very idealistic and very Toei.

Yayoi, lying on the ground panting, with sweat on her forehead and enduring the pain in her chest, asked her own questions.

"Huh...haah, why on earth...are you here?"

"Of course you told me. Seriously, the bad guys actually did such a little trick in a place like this! They are so mean!"

What she didn't notice was that when she entered the factory, a dark figure hidden in the shadows was like a spider lurking in the dark waiting for its prey to take the bait. With a strange posture that was difficult for humans to achieve, it used its hands and feet to skillfully shuttle through the intricate building pipes above the factory, and followed Yayoi like a shadow while moving and jumping flexibly.

On the way, they also found a little old woman wrapped in a green robe. The kind-hearted Ash persuaded the stubborn old woman to leave the factory, but it delayed time. When he arrived, he saw the same situation as Yayoi.

"But you, tell me, why did you come to a place like this?"

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!!"

Explosions continued to ripple around them, and Ash, frowning, continued to condescend to her. "Don't you understand your situation? Let me ask you, what if I had been a step later? You'd be like Yayoi-chan then. I don't want to have to dig someone out and piece them back together again."

Unable to stand up, Yayoi turned her head away, not wanting to answer Ash.

"I'm telling you, even if you gain courage, you'll have nothing if you die. Even if you don't value your own life, think about Miyuki and the others, think about your mother—"

"Mr. Ash!"

The surroundings were filled with crackling flames, and Yayoi's shouting reached Ash's ears.

"If you really hate me that much!" Yayoi shouted at someone with a roar for the second time in her life. "If you just want to be a hero, just want to satisfy yourself! Just say things to make yourself look awesome!"

You ruthlessly defeated us for the sake of your so-called future, sealed my power, Akane's, and Nao's, bullied me to tears, and said such cruel things to me! And now you suddenly come to my rescue. What do you want from others? Do you want me to be grateful to you?!

"Then why not just not save this shameful me and let me die!"

Anyway, I am too weak to be a hero!

After a brief silence, this time it was Ash who lowered his head.

"Okay, okay, I got it!" Ash made a French military salute with his hands, snorted, sighed helplessly, and lowered his head in front of Yayoi for the first time.

"It's my fault... It's my fault, I did something wrong! I'm so sorry... Is this okay?"

...

What, this person?

He was quite sincere at the beginning, but later on his tone turned into an extremely awkward one. After he finished speaking, Ash turned his head away to avoid looking at Yayoi's expression, then reached out his hand to pull her up, but was awkwardly not caught for a long time.

"I...I have no strength left..." As she spoke, Yayoi's voice returned to that soft and weak one.

"Okay, I get it!" With a mysterious blush on his face, Ash shook his head, put his hand through Yayoi's armpit, and picked her up like a kitten.

"Hurry up!"

Hearing Ash's reminder, Yayoi, who was clinging to the men's vest inside the open suit, closed her eyes and clung to Ash's back with both hands and wrapped them together.

A silver box instantly appeared in Ash's hand, and a grappling hook shot out from the top of the box, piercing through the glass in the distance and hooking the edge. The huge force carried Ash into the air from the place that was about to be surrounded by flames, and soared into the sky!

I never expected such a scene to happen in my dream. Yayoi was flying in the air, squinting her eyes as she felt the strong wind brushing against her cheeks, but she didn't feel scared.

Being held in the air and swinging like this...it really feels like a scene that only appears in cartoons.

"Mr. Ash, why did you keep following me and trying to save me?"

Yayoi, with a voice as soft as clouds, asked the biggest question in her heart.

"I don't need a reason to bully people." Ash, who was flying in the air, saw the pillar of fire falling towards him. He immediately released his right hand that was holding the hook, hugged Yayoi in his arms tightly, and dodged the heat wave by rolling in the air.

"Then I don't need a reason to help others either."

"Mr. Ash..." The girl pressed her head against the man's chest, her cheeks turning as red as apples. "Thank you."

"You guys...are really too kind."

Having lost the hook, Ash protected the girl's head with his hands, kicked the wall in front of him continuously with his feet, and then stepped on it with his heels. The heels of his shoes were imprinted on the wall, rubbing against it with sparks and lightning, and he landed next to the workers with the little girl.

"Kise Yayoi...is that her name?"

"The formalities of first and last name are too complicated. Anyway, I can just call you Yayoi, okay?"

"Wait, this is a little bit..."

Completely ignoring Yayoi's shameful thoughts, Ash, who already had the answer in his mind, just asked to himself. Then, in front of Yayoi, he pulled out a bird-shaped handheld revolver from the back of his suit.

"Anyway, as compensation for your apology, let me tell you something."

As the destruction caused by the explosion grew, and as the flames were about to burn over and surround them, the golden gear slid out from the man's sleeve like magic and fell into the empty slot of the machine gun.

"The hero of justice, the Kamen Rider, and Santa Claus."

“They are all real!”

Dark summons!

"[Transformation→~], [Kamen Rider Fourze]"

Yayoi's eyes widened for a moment, and she even forgot to refute Ash's overly intimate use of the name.

It was just because, the Rocket-Headed Kamen Rider who she had just seen on TV last Sunday, who was as enthusiastic as an astronaut, had now broken the stones on his body and was standing in front of her in reality!

Chapter 41 The Universe is Coming!

Seeing Yayoi beside him trembling violently with excitement, forgetting to close her mouth and letting sweat drip down her chin to her chest, Ash smiled and put away the gear-sealed gun.

Theoretically speaking, in such a disaster situation, the best solution is of course to summon the "Emergency Team GOGOV" to clear the scene, but how to say it?

You said that you hate my malicious intention to destroy the image of Kamen Rider, which means that you like the real Kamen Rider the most?

As a reward for letting me see something good, this time I will fulfill your wish.

"universe--"

A hearty voice filled with dreams and enthusiasm came from the direction of the knight. The first thing that "Kamen Rider Fourze" who had just appeared did was to clench his fists, bend over hard, and then suddenly spread his chest towards the ceiling, which was so magnificent that it seemed to be able to accommodate the universe.

"coming!"

The excitement in Yayoi's eyes visibly increased by a thousand percentage points.

"Yes, this is absolutely true, it's true! It's the real Fourze!!"

Yayoi didn't know whether the person inside was Kisaragi Gentaro, Fukushi Sota, or Takaiwa Seiji, but she could feel that the enthusiastic atmosphere was absolutely real!

The sight of her idol-like hero, who she had only seen on TV, standing right in front of her meant a great deal to Yayoi. The tears that had been welling up in her eyes due to sadness now sparkled with emotion.

Really? My daydreamy “dream” is not just the result of self-satisfaction and self-touching!

"Indeed, there is such a tradition." Ash crossed his arms over his chest, not at all surprised by the Kamen Rider's sudden shout.

Well, he did discover recently that, unlike the original versions of the Thief Knight and this gun, when he summoned his former friends to help, they were clearly just puppet bodies for combat, but they were able to show a close relationship with the original characters.

I don't know what's going on, but let it be... After all, some things cannot be determined by the laws of physics.

Ash walked forward naturally and patted Fourze's shoulder familiarly.

"Anyway, I'm counting on you, Rocket Head!"

After giving a thumbs-up to the person behind him, Fourze, who didn't mind the nickname given to him by Ash, raised his hands. The knight's hands brushed against the rocket head above his head, making a loud "swish~" sound.

Take out a red switch with a pull ring, exchange it with the rocket switch on the far right of the belt, and then pull it open with force.

"[Fire On]!"

The astronomical switch changed the structure of Fourze's right arm, and the abundant energy on it radiated throughout his body, dyeing his originally silver-white body a fiery red. Fourze, transformed into a "flame form", stood in front of everyone, and the shoulder armor engraved with the flame emblem on his shoulder blocked the heat for the people behind him.

The knight raised the "super flame gun" in his right hand, which looked like a flamethrower and a fire extinguisher. He grabbed the muzzle unit, stretched it out for a distance, and then inserted the No. 20 flame switch underneath. Amidst the ringing of fire sirens, he aimed at the violent flame tornado in the factory warehouse and pulled the trigger.

“[Limit Break]!”

The sea-blue air wave fire extinguishing bomb ejected from the muzzle quickly extinguished the flames that were burning violently along the warehouse materials with an efficiency that conventional flame retardants or water flow could not achieve. At the same time, Ash drew his holy sword and chopped the door twice, cutting the gate into pieces.

The fire extinguisher bombs in front of them prevented the air from exploding. As the doorway "opened" again, a strong breeze blew in, lifting Ash and the girl's hair, preventing suffocation in the cramped space. Thus, Fourze, transformed into a firefighter, extinguished the flames as he made his way toward the massive tank. Ash, carrying four of them each, gradually moved the unfortunate workers out of the tragic barrier.

"Well, it just looks like he was inhaled by the smoke. I don't think his life is in danger."

After hearing the conclusion that Ash came to after examining the unconscious workers, Yayoi felt relieved.

"Great, everyone... huh?"

The feeling of a big hand covering her head and gently caressing it made Yayoi slightly stunned.

"You did a good job this time, Yayoi."

This feeling...why do I have this feeling of nostalgia?

"Hey, but it was Fourze who put out the fire, wasn't it?"

"But, it was you who tried your best to drag those people out of the explosion range, so they could be saved. Putting out the fire was a matter for later." After saying that, Ash patted the little head again, and laughed when he heard her make an "ah-woo" sound.

"It's good to be humble, but if you overdo it, it's boring. I think when you do good things, you should be praised and commended."

"Even though you have no power, you still choose to do something. I take back my previous excessive evaluation of you."

Although you are a coward, you are quite strong-willed. Maybe you don't need to be like this, but I recognize you.

"You saved their lives, and you can be proud of that."

!

Even though we were enemies at first, even after he joined us, I still hated him.

But when he, who saved my life, was willing to apologize to me and said such gentle words to me for the first time, it was especially great to hear that the person who once denied me was willing to praise me.

A little, a little happy.

Thick smoke poured out from the cracks in the warehouse. Under the powerful force of the astronomical switch, a tragedy that was originally destined to happen was forcibly extinguished at the beginning. Fourze, who had turned back to his basic form, waved his hand and ran towards the two of them. Ash withdrew his hand without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

"Ah." Seeing the knight waving his hands and seeming to want to say something to him, Ash raised his finger to stop him.

"I am no longer the person you knew..."

Before Ash could finish, Fourze understood what he was saying at the speed of light and said nothing. Instead, he simply stretched out his fist in front of him, as if waiting for his response.

Before I could react, my body reacted first. Ash also stretched out his fist and collided with his. Then the two fists hit each other up and down, and then they clenched them tightly together.

"Even if I've forgotten!" This simple yet passionate voice, the voice of a high school student, was the passionate youth that only high school students could muster. The knight placed his other fist against Ash's heart, then tapped his own. "The bond between friends will never fade. Your actions just now are proof of that!"

"Hmph, when nice words come out of your mouths." Ash snorted, but a subtle smile of nostalgia appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It feels like it's quite natural.

Chapter 42: Many Friends

“Uooohhhh—”

The red ghost pushed away the rubble above his head and crawled out from the ruins. His face was smoked black by the explosion, and his hair had turned into a vertical afro. He crawled out of the ruins created by the exploded tank.

Even though he was hit by a close-range chemical explosion while he was sleeping, the Red Devil, as a cadre, did not suffer any harm. He was just groggy when he was woken up by the explosion and had no idea what had happened. In addition, his hair was almost set on fire and he even lost the Ghost Gold Rod somewhere unknown.

"Ah, my head hurts... What's going on? Ah, my hair! Could it be that this was really a sneak attack from Kamen Rider? Damn Kamen Rider!"
