Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"That's right!" Zhi nodded repeatedly, loudly confirming Qian's words. "But at the beginning of that sports meet, because my class didn't have enough members to participate, and other classes made sarcastic remarks, I felt so pressured that I almost quit. It was everyone's encouragement that convinced me to do so!"

"At first, it was Akane, our rival, then Reika. Seeing this situation, even the unathletic Yayoi and Miyuki joined in the end!"

"We all trained hard to participate in the competition together. We vowed to win the championship this time and surprise those students from other classes who looked down on us!"

At this moment, on the "stage", such an unfamiliar and flawed drama was being performed. The performer, who had no acting skills at all, just put all his emotions into it, performing such a one-man show with a mixture of joy and tears.

"Everyone's efforts paid off. After the baton was passed, I actually surpassed the original first place runner. But just as I was about to cross the finish line, I fell without noticing!"

But no matter whether the quality of this play is excellent and elegant or extremely ugly, the other girls can no longer sneer at the people they "hate" as before, because the current appearance of Midorikawa Nao is too difficult for them to look at.

"I ended up coming in last, and I burst into tears. Just when I thought you were all going to be disappointed, everyone huddled together to comfort me, saying, 'It's a good thing I didn't give up.' In the end, everyone burst into tears..."

For some reason, Miyuki and Yayoi began to feel their eyes moisten, even Akane and Reika...

"Even though we lost, everyone told me in the end that our combined efforts weren't in vain, no matter what the outcome! That's when I felt our bond was truly connected! Aa ...

Halfway through the conversation, more tears as big as beans began to roll down Zhi's face. The girl's unclear voice was filled with crying and innocent emotions, blurring her eyes that were emitting emerald green light.

"Don't do this again."

He was still speaking cruel words.

"I, I don't want to see this right now!"

But no matter who it was, they were too uncomfortable to look over.

How could this be?

Even the joker, who seemed to have everything under control, could no longer sit still.

How could this happen? It clearly reversed all their good feelings towards him! This is the power I specially modulated using tragic energy, which can change the rules. The rules are obviously absolute, so why is this happening?

They should have no feelings about this kind of thing at all, why, why do they have such a big reaction!

"cut--"

Finally, someone couldn't sit still anymore.

"Even if you no longer recognize me now, I still believe in you——"

"Your persistence is so annoying. I can't become Precure's Green Pretty Cure anymore!"

The sudden appearance of the arrow-shaped clown monster and the joker standing on it interrupted the girl's speech with an impact from the sky, and directly knocked Nao to the ground. The joker usually had a malicious and mocking face, but now in front of Midorikawa Nao, it was full of twisted and hideous expressions after its plan was interrupted.

If you don't come out now, the Pretty Cure might cause some difficult miracles again, especially the queen of the fairy tale kingdom that might exist behind them. That would be very difficult to deal with!

"What are you talking about wanting to wake up your friends? Everyone treats you as the ugliest being and is almost forgetting about you!"

The shadow cast by the clown's raised arrow-shaped arm was about to physically crush the straightness that he had refused to give up in his heart.

"Why do you still insist on protecting them? You can no longer transform, and if you still choose not to give up, this will be your only fate!"

Four rays of light passed by Zhi, and Miyuki and the others transformed into Pretty Cure. They caught the arm that was shot and pushed it back in front of Zhi with all their strength.

"To think that it's really here, if that's the case—"

There is no time to care about other things, defeating the clown monster is the top priority now!

"Precure Beauty Blizzard!"

After pushing the extremely heavy clown away with force, without even planning to engage in hand-to-hand combat to reduce the opponent's physical strength, Lihua, who was in the lead, drew a hexagonal frost with her left hand, and hit the blizzard created by the frost with her right palm, sweeping away the arrow-shaped clown monster that did not dodge. The smoke generated by the bombardment enveloped the monster's body.

"Great, knocked it out!"

Just when everyone was about to jump for joy, the smoke cleared and the unharmed clown monster continued to laugh at the girls who were beginning to sweat in front of him with a funny expression on his face.

"This clown monster is a 'super clown monster' created by contaminating two healing accessories. Pretty Cure's special move is useless!"

Just as Joker said, the clown's nose this time is different from the red and blue ones they defeated before.

"One, if one person's power is not enough, then gather everyone's purification power!" Miyuki stood with everyone while shouting slogans. When she was about to use a combined purification skill, she suddenly froze.

Yes, there are only four Pretty Cures now, and they can't use a combined attack skill that requires five people.

This is really bad.

“Guaaaaaa——”

The stronger Pretty Cures were defeated by the equally stronger Joker due to a problem with their mechanics. Unable to cause any harm to the opponent, the girls could only act as sandbags and were blown away like leaves in the wind, and then fell heavily.

"—!"

The scene that once appeared in my dream is now happening in front of me.

Chapter 88 Proof and Me

Miyuki and the others' personal purification skills are ineffective against the similarly strengthened Super Clown Monster. Even if the Clown Monster doesn't use its perverted ability to distort the rules, it can simply charge forward under the attack and quickly swing the arrows all over its body. The power of darkness brings a powerful impact that can knock down a Pretty Cure who has not yet reacted.

As "legendary warriors" with idealism written into the setting, the battles of Pretty Cure are also idealistic. For example, the soul is now inexplicably empty. The girls who suffered such a blow fell one after another and let out shrill screams. Even if they support their bodies, they can hardly stand up again.

The clown's red nose and exaggerated sausage-shaped smile seemed to be mocking their current embarrassment.

"how so..."

Facing a powerful enemy, Pretty Cure was defeated miserably, and Naoya knelt on the ground in disbelief. Everything was just like the scene in his dream yesterday.

"Huh~ You guys really worked hard."

They did not hesitate to consume two healing accessories taken from the Fairy Tale Kingdom and used a super clown monster that could only be defeated with a combined purification skill as their opponent. At the same time, they targeted Midorikawa Nao, bullying her by making other people's feelings towards her reverse and making her desperate, so as to prevent the Pretty Cure from performing another miracle at the critical moment.

In order to revive Emperor Piero, the Joker racked his brains. Although he made a mistake on the straightness issue, at least the result did not deviate in the end, which made the Joker sigh in surprise.

"But, it seems that's where it ends~"

Of course, this is also a strategy learned from those CDs. I can only say that human imagination is really good. Using human stories to defeat human heroes~ Isn’t this the best ironic tragic ending?

"It's almost time to send those outdated heroines off the stage, clown!" While the original goal wasn't achieved, it would still be a blessing to be able to kill the Pretty Cure without Kamen Rider's intervention. "Give them the final blow!"

"Little~Ugly~Monster~"

Just as the clown's arrow-shaped arm was about to fall and crush the whimpering girl lying on the ground, the green figure stood in front of everyone again.

"stop!"

He kept shouting.

"You are not allowed to hurt my friends!"

Even though she had no power, she still stood in front of others, just like when she first gained the qualifications to transform.

"[Jaaku Read] (Evil Guidance)!"

Ash, who was just watching from behind the wall, also disappeared at this moment.

"Why...you again?"

The clown monster did stop and squatted lightly on the arrow. The joker made a face and put his face close to the sweat dripping down his face.

"Hey, hey, hey, how long has this farce been going on? You've tried so hard, but those friends you keep talking about still ignore you, right? You've been abandoned!" He was clearly laughing, but the joker's smile was full of coldness and terror. As people who yearn for a tragic ending, the evil ones who are in power must laugh at the good people who are at a disadvantage!

"It's been so long, it's about time for a new person~" She stood on tiptoe and spun around on the arrow, and the joker suddenly appeared behind the girl like magic. "After all, the next era will be the Kingdom of Tragedy!"

"You said they abandoned me and did something terrible to me...it's true!"

Zhi, who was completely at a disadvantage and at the mercy of others, was trembling with anger at this moment, but he still expressed his feelings under the gaze of the joker behind him.

"But this wasn't their fault from the beginning. It was you! It's all that arrow-shaped clown monster's fault, right?!"

You have ruined everything we have experienced together!

"The fact that everyone hates me like never before just proves how close we were before the reversal. In that case—"

"I can't let this tragic ending of losing to you guys!"

Fear, sadness, sorrow, all the emotions a girl would feel when facing horrific things can be seen in her eyes, but the only thing missing is the "despair" that can generate tragic energy.

"We are just students, not professional combat soldiers. So, for everyone's smile, to prevent the birth of a tragic ending! Whether it's the joy or sorrow, or the sadness and the feelings when we stand up during the battle, they are all real!"

Despite the absolute power disparity, Zhi stubbornly fought the Joker. "Similarly, I believe everyone won't be easily defeated... Someone like you who only wants to defeat us through despicable means will never understand!"

You're saying I can't understand, right?... Hehehe! So what? For someone like me, born in a kingdom of tragedy, resurrecting Emperor Piero is all that matters. Why should I even understand? And you, who claim to understand...are you defeated by me now?

"If you can't transform anyway, it doesn't matter what you do." Joker narrowed his eyes, a naked threat spreading across his face. "But if you insist on being their friend, then you'll end up in a world of tragedy with them!"

"clang!"

Kamen Rider Wangjian suddenly appeared between the monster and the girl, and in his hand, the dark sword Yue'an, burning with jet-black dragon flames, swept from bottom to top, dissipating the force and blocking the clown monster's fatal blow.

"Mr. Ash!" Behind her, Lihua, who had finally gathered enough strength to get up, had a happy expression on her face. She was ready to join Ash in the fight. "Great! With you here too, all five of us—!"

"Tsk!" The guy he least wanted to see showed up at the most critical moment. Joker secretly clicked his tongue and was about to step back to use the power of Super Joker to fight the man who had made him lose for the second time. However, the Knight's next move shocked everyone present.

"puff!"

Facing the blue girl who rushed past him, the silent Ash suddenly turned the holy sword in his backhand, holding the blade with one hand so that the base of the hilt made a heavy "intimate contact" with the girl's soft abdomen. The girl opened her eyes wide and coughed up a mouthful of saliva mixed with sour water. At the same time, the man turned around and kicked her mercilessly, kicking the curled up girl back to the camp with her mouth open and eyes closed.

"!?"

W-What? Why would Mr. Ash suddenly attack us?!

“W…why?!”

Didn't we agree to be our partner? Why did you go back to the way you were at the beginning?!

"you...."

"Shut up, it's none of your business now!"

Neither the good nor the bad camps could understand the knight who was slowly retracting his legs. After shouting to break the joker, Ash held the sword in reverse, walked up to Nao, and stared at the girl Midorikawa Nao in front of him with his grille mask mixed with red light.

"As agreed before, I will not take action until you prove your friendship and bond."

"Yeah, but why?!" Zhi also didn't understand. You had clearly already taken action!

"You're trying so hard just to prove that your friendship is something that actually exists, right?"

Ash's tone was flat and emotionless. For a moment, I couldn't understand what he was doing and just nodded.

"Now...."

Ash suddenly took action and snatched the bracelet from Nao's hand, which was the proof of their past friendship.

Then, in front of everyone, he fell heavily to the ground!

"Prove it to me!"

Chapter 89: Excessively Painful Proof of Friendship

There are differences between human beings.

Some people's thoughts, memories, and so-called selves are ultimately nothing more than electrical signals from the cerebral cortex nerves.

Some humans have real souls. They think, therefore they exist, and they can still be "alive" even after death.

Some people live in a world of extreme reality, where a bullet or a knife can take the life of a battle-hardened soldier. Others live in a world where the heart is more important than the material world, and as long as there is someone who needs them, they will crawl back from the depths of hell to continue fighting.

Some people risk their lives, burning their bodies to the ground, only to ignite a spark. Others, with just a little effort, can easily take down a monster or two.

But whatever they can and cannot do.

Fundamentally speaking, their starting point and fighting spirit are the same.

So I indulged myself in the "game" of being a villain, irritating heroes, and occasionally even enjoying destroying the world. I wanted to see more glimmers of humanity and savor the paeans to human courage.

So I met many heroes with different personalities.

They proved to me that justice, courage and miracles exist.

Now, it's your turn to prove it.

The token of friendship that the girls gave each other as a souvenir of their school trip was mercilessly thrown to the ground by Ash in front of everyone.

"If you have no interest and feel that these are no longer important things."

The bracelet suddenly broke and "exploded", and the wooden handicraft decoration flew into the air and rolled all over the ground.

"Then prove it to me."

Then, he lifted up and lowered his iron boots heavily, crushing the scattered parts and the natto dumpling candies on the ground into black mud.
