Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Although the eyes of you Pretty Cures are more beautiful than each other and you almost make me want to add them to my inventory as a collection, don't think that you can make me help you out of kindness by acting cute and pitiful. I'm not a soft-hearted and kind-hearted person!

"Please! You said so! You're going to be Pretty Cure's partner, right? You'll keep your promise, right?"

Ash, who was about to leave, stopped at this sentence.

What's a bit bad is that after this reminder, Ash remembered that he actually had such an agreement.

What you decide to do is right... but what you have agreed upon cannot be violated either... This?!

Standing there, Ash looked around, all kinds of weird ideas kept popping up in his mind, but there was no perfect solution. Ash let Zhi's unintentional words cause a bug in his situation.

"I know... I was the same person before, so asking for your help was a bit shameless!"

Nao Midorikawa is a girl as straightforward as her name. She likes what she likes and hates what she hates. Everything will be shown directly on her youthful face and she will never hide it in her heart.

This was true when she felt jealous of Ash, and also when she felt pure joy playing football with him.

Now, just like a drowning person who will never let go of the last straw he can grab...she is still so straightforward.

"Everyone's acting so weird. They've all left me. If I'm alone... If I'm alone...!"

It would be too lonely if I were to rely on myself! I can't do that, so -

"Please, help me!"

Even if you are the one who prevents me from transforming, at the same time, you are the only one I can rely on now!

The girl's fingers made a crackling sound, and her sincere words and tears blended into the gentle breeze around her.

Really....

Ash, who just realized that he had indeed long lost the legitimacy of his "villain" positioning, sighed deeply, as if he wanted to expel all the depression, irritability and all the air in his lungs.

Ash wanted to push Zhi's hand away again, but he couldn't help but hesitate in the air for a moment, until his fist made a cracking sound. Then the man slowly placed his palm with a meaningful look on the shoulder of the girl who was hugging him.

Of course, Ash's heart is as hard as iron and will not deviate at all.

"So, I won't help you—"

Inside the cabin of the Incredible Library, Ash looked at Zhi who was lying across from him, stuffing the ice cream he had bought into his mouth in big mouthfuls, and took a deep breath of the inexplicably sweet air.

"I'll only say this once. I'll only help you this once."

"Uh-huh!"

"You bastard." Looking at Midorikawa Nao who turned his grief and anger into appetite, Ash couldn't help but hold his forehead. "Are you even listening?"

"I see. Thanks for the ice cream, it's delicious!" She wiped the cream off her lips with the back of her hand and flashed a huge smile at Ash. "Next time, I'll make you something delicious as a reward! Don't worry, as the eldest of five little ones, my cooking skills are so good that even a real chef can't find fault with them!"

"Tsk, sister." Ash snorted disdainfully, but couldn't help but smile.

Are we now in a relationship where we can joke around casually? The only thing I have no doubt about is that Pretty Cure's friendship principles are simple enough.

"Everyone's having a falling out with Nao... Is that really possible?" Tangtang, who had been staying in the Mysterious Library, also clutching an ice cream cone nearly as big as herself, expressed her bewilderment. "Hasn't Miyuki and the others always had a good relationship with Nao? Kuru?"

"That's right...but..."

No matter how sweet the ice cream was, it couldn't change the overly serious fact. He looked straight around the cute tree house. The shelves were full of books, but there was no one to open them, just like the girl's eyes, which were completely lonely.

"In the end, they still didn't come back here."

The Mysterious Library is the Pretty Cure's shared "secret base." Rather than discussing battle strategies, it's more about laughter and joy. For this reason, I've been thinking about using this place to awaken everyone's gentle hearts...

Ash said nothing, nor did he burst her fantasy.

"No matter how beautiful a story or how strong a relationship is, it will eventually come to an end... Hmm?"

Ash, who was talking to himself, had just finished saying this unintentional remark when he seemed to remember something and began to stare at her with a puzzled look.

When you first hear it, you don't know what the song is about, but after listening to it again, you are already in the song.

Yes, this situation is so similar to what I thought.

In that case, Naoto Midorikawa, please let me see what your choice is.

happy New Year!

Before I knew it—to be honest, even I, the author, didn’t expect that this book, which was originally just a self-entertainment article for special effects and Q-doll fans, would be written to this extent. Before I knew it, a whole year has passed. SqBWo1

However, I was really busy on New Year's Eve, and there were various things that prevented me from updating. After all, I really couldn't write a draft, so I apologize to everyone here and take a day off. SqBWo

But I also guarantee that no matter whether it is the extra or the main story, it is definitely exciting! SqBWo

What will be the final outcome of the love and hate between Ash and Nonoka?——SqBWo4

Is the interaction between Ash and the Smile Group really just a game of playing house? What is hidden underneath? - SqBWo1

It will definitely give readers a pleasant surprise! SqBWo27

There is no need to say more. I cannot express my gratitude to the readers for their support. Please give me your guidance in the next year or two.

Chapter 80 Pretty Cure is not cheap!

Ash has his own plans.

Zhi also has his own plans.

Even in the face of difficulties, he decided not to give up but to face them. However, Naoya also knew the fact that if he could not transform, he would be just an insignificant child in the Kingdom of Tragedy. If he really wanted to make a comeback, the only helper he could rely on now was this "Kamen Rider".

Besides, if I can build a good relationship with him here and learn more about his story... then, wouldn't it make him, who has been hiding something, feel more at ease?

After all, isn't that what everyone does?

"Come to think of it, when we first met, Mr. Ash seemed to know us very well?"

While waiting for Miyuki and the others, Zhi asked about the original topic with his own purpose in mind.

"Of course. After all, in order to observe the level of your group of Pretty Cure, I deliberately resisted the excitement of jumping onto the chessboard myself and secretly followed you for almost a week."

So bad!

The moment the thought came to her mind, Zhi's eyes turned into a cold and disgusted look as if she was "looking at trash" because of Ash's last words, but she quickly suppressed the subtle changes in her mood and keenly caught the key words in his words.

"Tell me, in our group...are there other Pretty Cure?"

Thinking of this possibility, Zhi couldn't help but feel excited.

"As for other worlds, there are probably ten or nine... Hmm."

As for Xiao An and Regina...are they officially classified as extra fighters or special fighters? Ugh, there's no official O-Ying website here, so I'll check.

"..."

An excited expression was on Zhi's face, and the cabin fell into a subtle silence. Only the "slurping" sound of Tangtang licking the ice cream was echoing.

"Eh——are there so many precures?!" This overly shocking information made her speech drag on for an extremely long time. When she reacted, she immediately covered her mouth.

"Well, as long as the toys sell, it's easy to say. Precure will only increase in number, just like knights, Ultraman, and the Sentai."

"What an outrageous statement!"

Why do they all seem to be popping out of the ground like carrots just to sell toys? Even if you're a lazy guy, this is too ridiculous!

"So, anyway—" Ash's silent bombshell left me dazed and barely understanding what he was saying. "So, Mr. Ash has seen the world of precure? Then...did he do the same thing to them as he did to us?"

"No." Ash looked back at her with a strange look at the question. "Of course I wouldn't do the same thing. That would be so boring. Why are you asking?"

So, are we the only ones suffering? The inexplicable feeling of being treated differently stirred within Zhi again, and he felt that this was really excessive.

"Of course what I did to them was much more serious than what I did to you! Hahaha~"

This is even more excessive!

"You've been like this...for some reason?"

"For Dark Echo," Ash said nonchalantly, something she couldn't understand. "Of course, most importantly, it's for my own happiness."

Looking at the happy Ash in front of him, Zhi now finally understood where the sense of disharmony came from when Ash deliberately kept a distance from him when they were together.

This person always says strange things and does incomprehensible things. He claims that he is our enemy because of us, or he helps us inexplicably. This attitude and powerful style make us mistakenly think that he is the kind of person who is powerful enough to strategize... However, in fact, the final result is...

"What villain are you talking about..." He changed into a very "cheap" person, with small eyes, looking at Ash with a very "contemptuous" look.

"Isn't he just a self-righteous guy who bullies girls to show off how powerful he is and act cool?"

He always likes to tease us, and gets unrestrainedly happy when he sees girls panicking. Such a villain is too "cheap"!

"..."

Now that the look in his eyes had become subtle, it was Ash's turn to stare at him, and he felt uneasy.

What you said was really a nice thing, but it really uprooted and burned all my ambition, pride and dignity as a "villain".

I really want to beat her up, but what should I do? Well, I might as well find some dark power to dye me black again. Well, it’s not too late now, I’ll turn black again immediately.

"Aww—are you already beating me? It hurts!"

After hitting the girl with the green ponytail on the forehead for a while, Ash finally let go of her hand as she struggled, covering her red forehead and staring at him with tearful eyes.

You are quite good at speaking verbally, but how would you make a decision in your own words?

"Your name is Midorikawa Nao, right?" For the first time, Ash didn't call her Midorikawa for short, but called her by her name. "Nao, actually, there's no need to fight this situation."

"Eh?"

Ash, who was full of evil intentions, looked at Zhi who was moving away from him and deliberately used words to seduce her.

"After all, you've lost your ability to transform and can't fight the clown monster, right? Of course, I know you're feeling pretty miserable right now."

Facing the gradually silent Zhi, Ash continued speaking.

"But you just need to go back and get some sleep. Once we defeat the clown monster, everything will return to normal and everyone will be your friends again. You won't have to endure such malice any longer. Isn't that great?"

So, will you give up on choosing the “best” approach?

"But, this won't work!" He shook his head in a decisive refusal that surprised even Ash. "Indeed, this might be the best approach... but is a good approach necessarily the right approach?!"

"?"

No longer shying away, he stared directly at Ash and clenched his back teeth, making a pressing "crunch" sound.

"Just pretend nothing happened. If you're injured, then leave it to Miyuki and the others. If you're only concerned about the outcome, then you might as well not do it in the first place—just be a coward who doesn't see anything!"

"And...if I back down here, I think I'll truly lose my status as a Pretty Cure!"

The title of Pretty Cure isn't something you can get easily and cheaply!

"Is that right?"

Is this your choice?

He asked the question, but what Ash didn't even notice was that he was nodding unconsciously.

From the perspective of her mentality, she is worthy of being the eldest sister of five younger siblings...Isn't she quite qualified?

Ash began to appreciate the "beauty" that belonged only to her.

Chapter 81 Throw It Away

Facing Ash's subtle gaze that was staring at her with a smile but no words, she felt uncomfortable all over and didn't know whether to run away or leave. After a while of fidgeting with the chair shaking under her butt, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table and stood up.

"Why, I'm laughing?"

What are you doing? You’re looking at me with the eyes of a teacher praising a student... But you’re not my teacher, it makes me feel so uncomfortable!

"But who would smile with their eyes narrowed like that? I have a feeling... are you planning something bad again?!"

"No, that's 1000% a stereotype." Ash's smile faded, and in less than a second, his expression became stern and cold, leaving Nao stunned for a moment, wondering if he had really seen it wrong. "Based on that statement alone, I can sue you for defamation, Miss Midorikawa."

"Whose fault do you think it is that I'm so paranoid?"

Although she had clearly stopped trying to think the worst of him, Ash's inexplicable change in attitude still made her, who was sensitive to the atmosphere, feel uncomfortable. However, she couldn't say it out loud, so she could only communicate with Ash in this inexplicably awkward way.

"Ah...right! Speaking of which, if everyone's feelings towards me are affected and reversed——then why do you seem completely fine?"
