Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

The girl landed and sat down next to Ash. She gently opened her collar to let the heat from her chest out. Turning around and seeing Ash's still peaceful face, Qian pouted and simply leaned over to get closer to him.

If you look closely, he's tall and handsome, always sporting a sword and armor in a suit, looking cool. He looks like a cool character straight out of a special effects movie. What girl wouldn't want to be close to such a handsome guy? But this handsome guy actually has a darker mind than ink!

Even if you say you want to be our partner, but...how can anyone possibly accept you if you're like this!

"Do you know how difficult it would be to have only Miyuki and Reika fight now?" Seeing that he seemed still unconscious, Akane curled her lips and blurted out everything without hesitation. "We actually know that you arrived late but didn't let them get hurt. You wanted to train them, didn't you?"

"But even if they're legendary warriors like Pretty Cure, they're still students! Even though Miyuki keeps speaking up for you, she's not a child like us who can withstand training. Is your approach... really okay?"

As she spoke, a few tears squeezed out of Qian's face, who was forcing a smile.

"You said you saw our tragic ending and wanted to change it, so you sealed our transformation devices. In fact, you don't want us to fight, so you won't let us transform, right?"

"But I'm also aware of this! To protect my companions, whether they're friends and family or strangers, to achieve a happy ending for everyone, I, I—!"

As she unconsciously clenched her fists, sweat flowed down the girl's arms and dripped onto the ground.

"But you rejected me, Nao, and the others... Even though you think it's just a child's fantasy of a beautiful fairy tale, now that we've been recognized by Pretty Cure, we want to do our best!"

Even though Yayoi always cries, she has regained her qualifications. Please, let me become a Pretty Cure again! I want to help everyone in trouble, I want to share the burden with everyone and fight side by side!

"Since you say you're already a righteous partner, then show some of the cool righteous partners on TV! Hmm..."

Seeing the face that seemed completely indifferent to her words, Qian finally couldn't help but stretched out her finger to poke the man's cheek. As a result, seeing her finger bounced back by the solid skin, Qian became a little eager.

It doesn't look like it, but the feel of it - solid yet slightly elastic, and ivory white, seems pretty good!

"Let's poke."

I poke!

Akane, who kept poking Ash's face with her fingers, couldn't help but smirk in amusement.

You have been bullying us all the time. You said you wanted to be a good person but you still played pranks on others. I will retaliate against you. I will poke you, I will poke you!

"what!"

Qian's outstretched index finger was forced to stop in mid-air, and it was another, larger hand that grasped her entire small hand.

Ash, lying in front of her, slowly opened his eyes, which were still not fully awake and looked like the night sky covered with a layer of mist.

About the Newcomer of the Year and Monthly Ticket Rewards

First of all, this book successfully won the first place in the 2022 annual newcomer list. I congratulate myself, yeah!!! 39HNFx

Then, regarding the statistics of monthly tickets, I started counting from the chapter where I posted the ticket bounty. The total number of chapters I owe is... 20 chapters~39HNFx3

Well, it was the end of the month, and the difference between my monthly votes and the previous ones was not much, so I thought I would just offer a few chapters and beat the rival book.

How can I put it... Why do you still have so many monthly tickets at the end of the month? I'm desperate, I'm really desperate this time! 39HNFx7

I'm a man who never saves drafts... Every day I write until 2am, and I'm almost exhausted. So how am I supposed to finish so many chapters... (dead eyes) 39HNFx

Is this the traditional art of repaying a man's promise that Shuke's author owes more than he can repay? 39HNFx7

Well, anyway, I'll try my best to write and pay it back (dead eyes) 39HNFx

Chapter 57: Girlish Heart and Dangerous Challenge (two chapters in one, 4K words)

It’s so tight, I’m being held so tightly!

The two of them held hands suspended in mid-air. Akane's wrist and Ash's palm were covered in the girl's sweat. She felt quite embarrassed as she was caught in the act.

I had clearly protested before, saying his pranks were annoying, but this time I was caught doing a prank by him. This... What a socially awkward situation!!!

"Well, actually!" Seeing that her wrist was still being held tightly, Qian's cheeks flushed and she hurriedly explained, "It's not like that! I didn't mean to tease you! It's just...it's just that you've been sleeping, so I wanted to wake you up! That's right!"

Anyway, it's my fault! Don't hold on so tightly, you're about to let go!

"Snapped!"

As Akane's mind struggled, her own perspective began to spin. Lying flat on the gym mat, she finally opened her eyes, overcome by the sudden shock. Filling her entire field of vision was Ash's expressionless face and his dark eyes, just a stone-cold sight.

"Wow, what—eh?"

"Eh?"

What's going on here?

Qian looked around hurriedly, and saw a man supporting himself by her ears, pinning her hands to the ground with his arms, unable to move.

"What, what did you do?"

Am I, being pinned down by a man? And... so close! Really close, getting closer and closer!

The girl's brain was so confused that she couldn't think straight. She struggled instinctively, but she couldn't move at all under the man's vise-like grip.

I, we, I just said a few words to you, what are you going to do?!

“Wait, wait a minute!”

At this time, Qian, who was pressed down by Ash, swallowed her words and blushed. The blush dyed the skin above her neck a warm color. The girl looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes. At this time, she did not show her tomboyish nature at all, but a soft and shy feeling that she had never shown in her daily life.

"No, you can't!"

We...we are not that familiar with each other yet, even, not even friends is not that too much!

Looking at the man's face that was still approaching her, Qian's basic thinking logic was about to burn out, and she screamed and closed her eyes.

I, I haven't even had a boyfriend!

"Lower your head!"

"Eh?"

There was a tingling and itchy sensation like an electric shock at the neck, and the man's black hair with the scent of grass pricked the girl's neck. Ash buried his entire face in Qian's shoulder and pressed her down, but before she could scream, a distorted wave of wind passed by her eyes!

"rub!"

A card, from the other side of the window above her head, pierced into the cement floor next to Qian's eye.

It seemed that he was a step too slow. The glass window above his head shattered with a "crashing" sound, and the fragments like rain fell and hit Ash's back, making crackling sounds.

"Huh...huh..."

The girl's rosy lips were breathing heavily, no longer nervous and shy as she was suddenly attacked. Staring at the card, she realized something.

If he hadn't crushed me, that card would have...

Was this the man who saved me?

"Which one, what is it?" Qian asked Ash with lingering fear.

"What else could it be? A declaration of war from the enemy."

Ash narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that not everyone was beaten into a broken-back dog by him... Things always become interesting when they develop, don't they?

"Wait, you—" The feeling of the man's hot breath curling around her neck as he spoke made Qian's face turn pale and then red, like a roller coaster ride. "You're too close, can you let me go? How long are you going to keep doing this? Don't talk so close..."

"Huh, you're talking about this now?"

Seeing Ash using his heels as the axis to prop himself up from his original position at an angle that violated physical mechanics, especially the expression of slight disgust and amusement on his face, further subtly stimulated Akane's self-esteem.

"Wait, you were already awake?!" Akane, having regained consciousness, sat up and pointed a trembling finger at Ash. The rest of her words were stuck in her mouth as she bit her tongue. "Wh-Wh-When?!"

"When your teacher came over, you dragged me all the way here, and I was already awake. Seriously, you're quite courageous to secretly bring a man into an empty, enclosed space."

Ash's suggestive teasing words instantly made her expression extremely panicked again, and she almost wanted to explode.

"That's not the case! Don't say things that could be misunderstood!"

"If you're saying it was a misunderstanding, then didn't you use your knees as a pillow on my head before, and even put your whole body on my face? Isn't it a little too late to talk about the fact that physical contact between men and women is not allowed now?"

I was startled when you suddenly lunged at me, but then, when you pressed against me, I didn't feel a thing... Honestly, it's not even as big as some of the men I've met or had sex with before. Why should I react?

In Ash's eyes, Hino Akane's feminine charm can only be described as tragic.

"I told you that before, you no longer had any femininity at all when you said that."

I will never admit defeat in a fight, and I will never admit defeat easily verbally. Even if I am wrong, I will never be afraid. This is my will to talk nonsense!

As Ash bombarded her with verbal attacks like a barrage of bullets, Akane's face had turned as pale as liver, and even the momentum that had originally been so hot that she wanted to confront Ash was gone.

"Well... that's because I wanted to help you, so I didn't worry so much..."

Ahh ...

Walking past Akane, who had become OTZ in a dark corner and even started drawing circles, Ash raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, which felt a slight pain, and picked up the card.

"Mr. Wang Jian, ladies of Pretty Cure, we have prepared the most magnificent stage for you, a stage that will lead to a tragic ending."

In heaven?

Ash squinted his eyes and looked out the broken window above his head, but the sky was clear and blue with white clouds. He didn't see any huge monsters falling from the sky or energy shields covering the city.

"Forget it, we'll just fight back. Pretty Cure and Kamen Rider aren't just good-looking... well."

Really, are you still depressed?

There's really nothing I can do... But anyway, if it's really my problem, men should always take responsibility for their own actions.

"You bastard..." As Ash gradually approached, Akane continued to stare at him with resentment. "No matter what you're thinking, I just hate the way you treat others like idiots! I absolutely, absolutely won't end this so easily. I must—hmm?"

Qian, who was making harsh remarks, had just reached the critical moment when she saw the man actually take the initiative to extend his hand towards her.

Ash walked up to Qian and pulled her up with a carelessly gentle hand. She looked into his eyes and saw a face that was puffed up with anger and dissatisfaction.

"Really? This is getting further and further away from the expression of the powerful and cool Pretty Cure you described."

"What do you care? Besides, whose fault is this?" Unlike Yayoi, who cries easily, Akane fought back her tears until her eyes turned red. "Because you've been teasing me all the time, and you never stop!"

"Well, who told you Pretty Cure's reactions are so funny?" Ash said mischievously, casually brushing off a speck of dust from her face with his thumb. "That's why I like (everyone) the most."

"Eh?"

"Besides, you're still a girl, right? I don't dislike overly passionate characters, but girls should behave like girls. You prefer your feminine side, right?"

The man's hand did not stop. He gently brushed the sweat-soaked hair that was scattered in front of her face behind her hot ears, picked up the hairpin that had fallen and was hanging on her collar, and tied a bunch of orange hairpins that Qian had covered her forehead and put them behind her ears, revealing her slightly red eyes that were brushing her eyelashes across her fingers.

This cute and slightly soft outfit matches Qian's own passionate temperament, showing a contrasting cuteness.

"What? Doesn't it look pretty after dressing up? How about it? Doesn't it make you look more girly now?"

Admiring his own masterpiece, Ash couldn't help but nodded happily and strode out the door.

It seems that it's not just about combat, my aesthetics and techniques are also not rusty at all. I am indeed a genius!

"what...."

Qian raised her hand to stroke the hair that Ash had raised for her by her ear. After her expression was revealed for a moment, she immediately covered her face with both hands to prevent Ash from seeing it.

"S-Stop minding your own business! Even if you saved me, I wouldn't thank you!"

Akane, who was speaking fiercely and in a panic, quickly followed Ash's footsteps and ran out of the warehouse.

"This is the challenge from the Tragedy Kingdom?"

Everyone standing at the school gate opened their eyes wide and looked quite curious about the card in Ash's hand with a clown's smiling face on the back.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Especially Yayoi, who clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkled. "To think there was such a foreshadowing challenge letter, it's like a TV special!"

"What are you talking about? You've watched too many special effects movies." After tapping Yayoi's head lightly, Ash looked up at the sky above his head again.

What? Isn't this nothing? Or is it another one of those unit monsters from the Sentai series that can influence the cause and effect of a world or a universe, or even change the rules of the world? That would be quite troublesome indeed.

"But what does the enemy mean by 'above the sky'?" Lihua, the only one who was also pondering the origin of the enemy like Ash, was also troubled. "Speaking of the sky, what kind of enemy could it be?"

"Is it a bird?" Miyuki was the first to raise her hand.

"Is it a plane?" Naoya thought of an answer thoughtfully.

"It's Superman!" Yayoi raised her hands high in excitement with her eyes shining.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The three troublemakers were punished by having their heads pierced by a merciless fist. Ash withdrew his smoking right hand from the heads of the three idiots who were sitting in front of him and apologizing to everyone.
