Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

It was during this distracted moment that Fourze freed up one hand and pressed the icon on the screen on his chest to receive the generated switch.

"[Hand (Automatic Hand) on]!"

Seeing the high-performance robotic arm suddenly appear on the knight's leg after the switch was turned on, the red ghost completely couldn't understand why people would grow hands on their feet.

Although I don't know what they're doing, I'm confident that no matter what tricks they use, they're just clever tricks in the face of absolute power—"Hahahaha!"

Taking advantage of the stalemate, the agile mechanical arm suddenly stretched out and started scratching the red ghost's armpits and neck with high intensity. The ghost, whose whole body was itchy, suddenly laughed in frustration, and the ghost gold stick in his hand was knocked away by the knight who was giving his all!

Fourze quickly pulled out the space switch and inserted it into the slot of the hilt. As the alarm sounded, the knight with blue flames spewing out from behind pushed the red demon who couldn't stop laughing into the jumping wormhole behind him that led directly to the universe!

"!"

The factory in front of him instantly turned into a vast blue planet. The extremely cold temperature instantly hit him. The red ghost, who couldn't understand it, wanted to open his mouth, but even his bloodshot eyes and mouth were frozen.

"Ah-"

Pull the lever on the Bali Holy Sword, remove the scabbards on both sides to switch to the slashing mode with the blade exposed, and then repeatedly pull out and insert the cosmic switch!

"[Limit Break]!"

The red ghost wanted to punch the knight in front of him, but he just missed the knight's body and rolled over like a drowning man.

In the cold universe, the red demon, who was completely unable to exert any strength, stared with wide eyes, watching the knight in front of him raise the giant sword and cut him down with the blade wrapped in cosmic energy like the blue aurora.

Where is this place? Why, why is there no ground beneath my feet?

Obviously, the power is stronger on my side!!!

"Knight-Ultra Galaxy End!"

In the silent universe, a cry that spanned the universe was heard.

--------

After an incredibly exhilarating battle, Ash, without detransforming, simply removed his helmet, his entire head enveloped in steam escaping from the neck of his armor. The sweat-drenched man shook his Super Saiyan 2 afro, creating a rainbow of sweat in the air, and then asked Yayoi, who was standing beside him.

"Speaking of which, how did you remove the restrictions and complete the transformation?"

"Well, at that time, I was thinking about protecting Mr. Ash." While answering the question, Yayoi cast a worried look.

By the way, Mr. Ash smells like barbecue right now...isn't that a bit bad?

"Then when Witch Lina attacked me, I don't know what happened, but just like the first time I stood in front of Miyuki and the others, I transformed into Pretty Cure again!"

Mr. Yaxiu, the skin on your chin is bright red. Is that a burn? Is it really okay?

"What do you mean I don't know what happened? You guy--" After hearing Yayoi's words, Ash was stunned, then he sighed and walked towards Yayoi.

Hearing that Ash couldn't shake his head, Yayoi happily put her little head forward, expecting Ash's praise, and then she whimpered and was hit on the head.

"Why didn't you run away then? You were just an ordinary person, you had no idea you could transform, right?" Ash's tone suddenly became as serious as the strictest teacher she'd ever met, a terrifying tone that filled her with dread. "You were so eager to take a gamble, you even did something so foolish twice in a row! What if a miracle hadn't happened? You almost died!"

"Even if you really risked your life to save me, I won't thank you for this!"

Even if such a thing seems to be a heroic act, I will not be happy!

"Ah... but even if it's stupid, I did it to help you!" Yayoi, squatting on the ground with her hands covering her head, tears welled up in her eyes. She responded in a rather aggrieved tone, "Besides, I can't think of any other way... if I don't want Mr. Ash to die, I can't think of any other way!"

"Really..."

Seeing the hand covering her again, Yayoi, who thought she was going to be punished again, closed her eyes in fear, but the next moment she felt the subtle feeling of the cold palm wrapped in armor gently patting her fluffy hair.

"That's why I said you were Idiot Number Two. Seriously, I made you worry, and it worried me to death too."

"Mr. Ash..."

The way Ash touched her head was rough and without any skill, but it was this coldness without any warmth...that made Yayoi experience a little bit of "gentleness" that was unique to a "villain".

"Besides, I'm a man! Who needs your protection?"

"Meow!" Yayoi screamed as her head suddenly turned and she was held in Ash's arms. Before she had time to feel shy, someone hit her head with his knuckles.

"What? I'm worried about Mr. Ash too!"

"Really? I don't want a woman's protection!"

It's so shameful for a grown man to need a girl's protection...

Chapter 51: Dream Run

Only Pretty Cure can do this. The special ability that other heroes rarely have that can heal the world is unleashed at this moment. The light that floats out of the smiling makeup case falls into the battered factory. The factory that was originally completely hopeless begins to repair itself as if time was reversed. The workers who have been in despair for too long and have been drained of excessive tragic energy also wake up leisurely under this warm power.

While Yayoi was resting, Ash, whose half face was temporarily paralyzed by electricity, slowly walked to the place where the battle had taken place before and picked up the things on the ground.

"Escaped?"

When the V-shaped slash shattered the magic circle, the huge explosion caused by the reaction between the two completely different energies completely covered the witch Lina, leaving her no chance of escape.

But where she had originally stood, there were only extremely charred marks left, and a poker card that Ash was holding in his hand.

"Joker, Xiao Wang?"

This was just an ordinary playing card, but the fact of who saved the female cadre's life had been exposed without a doubt. Ash remained calm and performed magic tricks to make the card jump between his fingers as he twisted them up and down.

"If this were a novel, readers would complain about the fact that the enemy was forced to escape alive for the sake of the plot."

The Joker of the playing cards bounced up from Ash's finger, and when it fell from the air and was caught, it unexpectedly turned into a King! Then, it was pinched by two of Ash's fingers, blocking the half of his face that was paralyzed by the electric shock.

"However, I welcome challenges like this as many times as you want."

"Because allies of justice are not afraid!"

Ash has always been indifferent to such things. He holds on to his faith. Moreover, he is now a righteous ally (questionable) instead of a villain! It's just right for her to go back and give them a little shock!

"Mr. Ash, what are you doing standing here?"

"Waiting for someone." Ash said, changing his position and leaning against the wall behind him. "Here I come."

"sudden--!"

Before the person arrived, the roar of a motorcycle engine was heard first. Fourze was driving a motorcycle from a distance, and there was a person sitting on his back. Yayoi recognized at a glance that it was her father!

"Dad!" Yayoi immediately called out the newcomer's name happily. "And Knight Miu!"

"Yayoi, your backpack." The man who got off the car was holding the Ultraman backpack that the girl had thrown in the operating room. Just looking at the outer surface, it was obvious that half of it had been blackened and damaged.

"I'm sorry, but when I found it, it was already like this."

"Yeah, it's okay!" Yayoi shook her head at her father's apologetic words, then nonchalantly picked up the dark schoolbag in her arms and put it back on her back. "Thank you, Dad, for helping me find it!"

"But." Turning back to thank Fourze for giving him a ride, Kise Yuichi's eyes were filled with a sense of nostalgia. "Kamen Rider has evolved to this point, what will it become next?"

Hearing her father's rather emotional speech, Yayoi glanced at Ash inconspicuously.

Will there be a knight who uses a book and a sword to transform in the future? I feel like... I'm really looking forward to it!

"Ash."

Seeing the knight and himself giving him a thumbs-up, Ash understood Fourze's hint, nodded, and went to the other side with the knight, leaving this world that was gradually being shrouded in fog to the world of love between father and daughter.

Yayoi saw her father walking towards her. He seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he just gave her a gentle smile.

"Yayoi, do you still remember your childhood?" For some reason, even though her father was standing right in front of her, Yayoi felt as if he were getting further and further away, his eyes filled with nostalgia. "I came up with the name 'Yayoi' by looking at your adorable face when you were just a newborn."

"Yayoi's mother 'Chiharu', as her name suggests, is as gentle as a thousand springs, right?" While talking about such a heartwarming story, the man's eyes flashed with incomparable nostalgia as his familiar and warm big hands gently covered his daughter's head and stroked her.

"Dad hoped that Yayoi could be as gentle as Mom, so he named you 'Yayoi', a name that also represents spring."

"But it's not just Chunchun. Yayoi is even more powerful than dad thought." The man's smile showed a kind of immense pride. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still took his hand away from the girl's head.

"Yayoi has grown into a gentle yet strong person. She's already an incredible hero."

"Dad!" Yayoi, who actually understood something a long time ago but still refused to admit it, opened her arms and hugged her father tightly as he retreated.

Yayoi understood that her father had always known about her affairs and had been protecting and watching her grow up, just as he said.

"no!"

Yayoi also knew that he would no longer protect her because she had truly grown into a hero of her own.

"I obviously miss you a lot!"

My father has fulfilled his promise.

"I've been missing you, too."

Next, it’s time to hand over to my grown-up daughter.

"But this is not the place I should stay." Gently pushing his daughter's hand away, the man got on the motorcycle that the knight left behind in this world.

"No... It's been so hard to see my dad again..." Yayoi shook her head repeatedly, wanting this moment to last longer even if it was only for a moment.

"But I have to go, Yayoi, please apologize to my mother and me." Putting on the helmet on the back of the motorcycle, the man covered the face that Yayoi missed so much.

"Why, where are you going? Don't go! Dad!"

"I'm sorry, I can't attend Yayoi's wedding."

The man under the helmet glanced at Ash who had reappeared, and only when he nodded did he turn the accelerator and drive into the deep, dark night behind him under the girl's sad gaze.

"I will always love you and mom. I'm so happy to see you again and to hug you one last time, Yayoi."

Already, there are no regrets.

"don't want--!!!"

That father, that man, really disappeared into Yayoi's world on a motorcycle like a Kamen Rider.

Kise Yayoi was alone again and could no longer bear it and turned into her crybaby self, wiping her hands from the eyes and sobbing.

"It's said that the human soul is made of plasma." Ash, hands in his pockets, recalled the accident he'd prevented, and began to do some scientific research. "The Witch Lina's lightning strike at the time turned the entire factory electromagnetic. Coupled with the mysterious power that seemed to be leaking from that book, perhaps this coincidence awakened your father's dormant soul."

"But it doesn't matter." A sense of relief flashed through Ash's eyes. "Some things in the name of romance don't require a clear explanation—eh?"

Ash suddenly felt warmth on his stomach and looked down to see the girl hugging him tightly, burying her little head in his arms, trying to relieve even a little of her sadness.

"Mr. Ash....Ash....Wuwuwu!"

The girl cried intermittently, her trembling little head rubbing against Ash's arms. Her sad tears soon soaked the man's clothes. Even the self-centered Ash did not intend to blame her at this time.

Thinking of how she had used her father's story to scold Ash and told him not to insult the hero in his heart, Yayoi felt even more bitter and buried her tearful face in Ash's arms.

"I'm sorry... Mr. Ash, for saying such harsh words to you... My father is, indeed, just an ordinary man."

"Do not."

While they were chatting, Ash secretly checked on the Internet and found out that Yayoi's father was indeed just an ordinary man who died in an accident.

"Your father is indeed a hero."

But Ash gave him such an evaluation.

It is precisely because I have not experienced it, and because I have seen too many examples to the contrary, that I can be so sure...

"It must be the love your father gave you that allowed you to treat others gently. It allowed you to convey the proof of love called 'gentleness' to others, even to those you dislike."

That's why you can grow up to be a weak yet extremely strong Pretty Cure.

"Your dad, he's your hero."

Ash gently patted the girl in his arms, her hunched and trembling back.

Chapter 52: Ash Can Only Watch

"That girl is the one who protects this world!" Rubbing his hand across his pointed forehead, making a crisp "swish" sound, Fourze looked in Yayoi's direction with envy. "Being able to travel to different worlds and become friends with so many people, I really envy you for being able to do it!"

"We're not all friends anymore... Really, is that all you want to say?" Although he looked like he was urging him, the raised corners of Ash's mouth clearly revealed his true thoughts.

"Ash!" Fourze, who had regained his enthusiasm after the previous fighting silence, raised his fist. "I did it to help you. This is proof of friendship!"

"I never doubted you." Ash laughed and stretched out his fist to complete the fist-fighting action with him.

"Okay, let's get down to business. You're not the type to drop the ball at a critical moment."

To leave a separate space for the father and daughter to say their final goodbyes, Ash and Fourze came to a shadow behind the factory. As soon as he finished speaking, the originally relaxed atmosphere instantly became serious, and even the background music became extremely tense.

Remembering that he seemed to have met a knight in his previous world who happened to come to other sets for a guest appearance, Ash guessed that the knight had brought his past experiences with him, so his old friends came to him like this.
