Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

What she didn't see was that everyone else was looking at her as if they had seen a ghost.

Chapter 95: Will Lihua be a tsundere?

At this moment, Lihua could only feel one word - regret, great regret, extremely regret!

I regret it so much that I want to travel back to half a minute ago and slap myself.

"So yes!"

“Could it be?!”

“It turned out to be!!!”

“So that’s how it is!!!”

"Everyone—" Facing the people who kept coming closer with strange lights flashing in their eyes and sniffling through their noses, Lihua, with a sweaty face, kept waving her hands while maintaining a smile that was about to break. "Everyone misunderstood, that's not what I meant!"

"No, we all heard it!"

He was so excited that he clenched his fists and kept shaking them in front of his chest.

"The person Lihua said she likes is actually Yaxiu!"

Nao Midorikawa is quite familiar with the feelings of his aloof childhood sweetheart, the most popular girl in the student council. Reika has rejected at least a hundred confessions of love at Nanaseigaoka Academy. Aoki Reika has high standards for herself and others, and her gorgeous personality makes Nao think that she will never fall in love with a boy on her own initiative.

Although she has a natural beauty and a goddess-like appearance, her personality makes everyone think that Lihua would be the one among them who is least interested in the topic of love except for Miyuki. Unexpectedly, she was unexpectedly surprised here today!

What's even more surprising is that Lihua actually mentioned the name "Ash." After all, this is Ash! That Ash, is there any news more shocking than this?!

"No—I mean seeing Ash playing the samurai over there—"

Lihua quickly raised her hand and pointed at the church door. She almost forgot that they were already in the church.

"But, isn't this wrong?" Akane shook her head for some reason, facing the dazed Lihua. "Didn't Lihua say from the beginning that she and Ash didn't get along? While she wouldn't interfere with our conversation, she didn't agree with him either."

And... is Lihua really feeling this way? Could it be that the two of them, seemingly strangers, are actually hiding a little secret behind their backs? I always feel...

I feel a little unhappy, because it's obvious that the ones with the secret are Ash and I.

"It's hard to imagine that Lihua likes Ash..."

"In that case, something does feel wrong..." Facing Lihua's rare panic, Miyuki slowly closed her eyes.

Wonderful imagination emerged in Miyuki's little head. The beautiful girl in a white wedding dress and Ash in a black tuxedo walked to the pastor under the ringing of the church bells. The beautiful girl and the handsome man, a perfect match in terms of talent and appearance, put their hands on each other's faces and prepared to kiss... No, no, no, this is not right!

The two croissants on her head swung around with a rustling sound, and Miyuki quickly dispelled this inexplicable delusion.

"Ash did say he liked Reika," Miyuki continued, her chin tapping in thought as Reika's astonished "When did you say that?" "But Reika is the vice president of the student council. It seems strange that she's dating someone from another school."

Although it's a good thing that Mr. Ash has more friends, it would be even better if Lihua could resolve the misunderstanding with Mr. Ash! But why, if I think about Lihua and Ash really becoming a father and mother relationship... I can't be happy, why?

"That's right, Xiao Qian, Miyuki!" Lihua nodded nervously. In order to prove her innocence, she had to explain this matter clearly.

“I don’t like him.”

Just when Lihua was thanking Qian and the others for helping her get out of trouble, Zhi, who was smiling and pulling everyone in, made Lihua feel something was wrong.

"Lihua used to keep her distance from Ash, and now she's saying she likes him. It's really contradictory... But this also proves one thing!"

The background music of "There is only one truth" seemed to be heard from behind. Under the admiring eyes of Yayoi and the stunned eyes of Lihua beside him, Zhi adjusted the non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose among the crowd in the church.

"As the vice president, Lihua usually has to show a serious and elegant appearance in front of everyone. Because of this, Lihua, who doesn't know how to get along with Ash in this regard, deliberately distances herself from him. Because she likes him, she acts like she's resisting. It's the truth that the more someone resists, the more they like him!"

In other words, you're a tsundere - hahaha, Lihua, we've been friends for so many years, and I never realized you're such a bad type when it comes to expressing your feelings. I'm really not as good as you in this regard, and I seem superficial.

At the sight of Akane speaking so logically and having everyone nodding their heads, Aoki Reika, who was just standing there, blinked.

So, I hated him because I liked him. Could it be that I, who's always been a rule-abiding person, was attracted to his free-spirited nature, so I liked him but refused to acknowledge it by calling him "hate"? No, no, that's not it! If I'm a tsundere who says one thing and means another, how could I not know it myself?

Following her friend's thoughts, Lihua almost got herself into trouble. She gasped for breath, and her hands were almost turning into propellers in the air.

"That's not right! I'm not like that. I don't use hate to hide my feelings. I wouldn't do this just for him!"

"Hahaha~ See, just like I said, you're shy."

Facing five pairs of friends with different expressions but all nodding to her, Lihua suddenly realized that her refusal this time was actually a disguised admission of guilt, and she could not wash herself away even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Lihua's eyes suddenly became extremely complicated and dead.

Why? Is it because of what I did last time? Why did you betray me?

"In the presence of all the witnesses here today—"

As the officiating pastor began the opening oath, the girls looked at the newlyweds holding hands with affectionate eyes, and the sparkling look in their eyes was full of longing.

"So, this is one of the best moments in a boy's and girl's life!"

Ayumi, the younger sister, stood in front of the two of them and took a precious photo of their happiness at that moment.

"On such a beautiful day, under the witness and blessings of the gods and everyone, I will cross the ladder of life and grow into an adult with the one I love, and live happily like this forever... Haha~!" Qian, who usually doesn't talk about love topics, was unusually active at this time, and even made herself blush without realizing it.

"Shh, it's about to begin."

Seeing that the questioning was about to begin, everyone quieted down.

"Excuse me, are the bride and groom willing to accept each other?"

"I am willing!"

Amid the smiles of many guests, the groom, with a sincere face, held the bride's hand and made a promise.

"I..."

What no one saw was that behind the bride, a silk thread was silently tied to her back, and a pink heart was pulled out like fishing.

The woman in her wedding dress turned her originally affectionate expression into an extremely cold one in the face of her lover.

"I do not want to!"

Chapter 96: The Source of the Wedding Anomaly

The guests' celebratory applause was forced to stop.

The girls' eyes, which were originally full of longing, were now cloudy, and the blessing smiles on their faces were completely frozen.

Following the bride's extremely cold words "I don't want to!", everyone from the groom to the officiating pastor, from both families to the guests and even the Pretty Cure passing by were all stunned on the spot, unable to understand what was happening.

"I...did I hear it right?" Lihua looked at the scene on the stage with trembling lips and made an incredulous sound.

In Lihua's eyes, marriage is one of the most important events in life. It is a solemn and sincere ceremony of love that is chosen carefully after the relationship between a man and a woman has warmed up. This is the expression of the trust of the lady of a well-behaved family in the "rules".

That's why she was so stunned by the abnormal scene before her that she couldn't even understand why everyone had made fun of her before.

"Would you refuse to marry?"

Miyuki, who is a bit slow in the brain, has started blinking instinctively, and her not very useful little brain has turned into a blue screen just like every time Win10 is updated.

This...what's going on?

"Ha...haha, I get it!"

Qian, who was also confused, suddenly had an idea and found the explanation herself.

"Isn't this originally a movie theater? They just lent it to Ayumi's sister for her wedding. Maybe it's even rehearsing the plot for the upcoming movie? Actually, this is just a joke...haha, haha..."

Under everyone's gaze, Akane's own inference fell silent. After all, who would do such a thing at their own wedding ceremony?

"Sister, why?!"

Apart from the groom who was frightened to the point of being speechless, the most surprised person was Ayumi, her younger sister. Even her hand holding the camera was shaking at this moment.

Didn't you say you've been in love since college? Why are you suddenly rejecting me?

"I don't want to get married anymore." The bride, unfazed by her sister's words, lifted her veil with a nonchalant expression on her face. "Now I realize I don't love this person at all. If I don't like someone, I don't like them. If I don't like someone, I don't want to get married!"

Throwing the flowers in her hand to the groom who was about to cry after being hit hard again, the bride walked out easily under the astonished eyes of everyone.

In a world invisible to the naked eye, wisps of black air floated out from the groom and others and flowed into a secret passage. The five girls present shuddered at the same time.

"elder sister--!"

The important wedding turned into a farce and the scene fell into chaos. When the girls found Ayumi, she was huddled in a corner, holding her camera and trembling all over.

"Sister, you've become so strange!" The introverted Ayumi clutched her head in fear. Seeing Miyuki and the others approaching, she finally burst into tears in front of her friends. "Yesterday, you seemed so close to your brother-in-law, but today—you're so different from your usual sister!"

Miyuki and the others' outstretched hands hung in mid-air, not knowing how to comfort her.

For example, how could you possibly say something like, "She just chose her own path in life..."?

"Look!" Ayumi quickly flipped through the photos in front of everyone, as if she was afraid Miyuki and the others wouldn't believe her. "Sister was so happy and smiling not long ago, but now she's suddenly become so cold... It's so strange!"

"Indeed..."

The girls watched the pages of photos on the screen turn together. The bride's face was clearly full of happiness in the previous photo, but in the next photo, she looked as cold and indifferent as ice, as if all the love in her body had been drained away.

"and many more!"

Lihua, who noticed something, quickly stopped Ayumi from turning the pages and pointed her finger at the page where the bride's face turned cold. There seemed to be a vague line connecting her back.

"Ayumi, please fall up!"

After careful comparison and observation, Lihua nodded seriously, and an air of wisdom began to emanate from her.

"Before, when your sister was still smiling, there was no line-like thing behind her. It only appeared for a moment when she changed, and then disappeared after she suddenly turned indifferent!"

Something must have happened at this moment, so there must be something wrong!

"I see!" Ayumi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had grasped the key to the problem. "I knew my sister wasn't that cold and indifferent!"

But what exactly is that line-like thing?

"That's what it is, isn't it?" As Ayumi pondered alone, the other five girls exchanged glances and nodded. "You felt it too?"

Unlike Ayumi who couldn't figure it out, Reika and the Pretty Cure girls immediately linked this abnormal phenomenon to the Tragedy Kingdom.

If they were involved, this would not be a simple accident... Just as they were discussing how to convince Ayumi, as an ordinary person, not to get involved, Ayumi, who also noticed something, hurried to the side.

"Is that it?!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a silk thread similar to the one in the photo being pulled back from her side. Ayumi immediately turned around and ran in that direction. The others didn't expect that Ayumi could be found so quickly, and immediately followed her worriedly.

"Wait, give me back my original sister!"

The owner of the silk thread didn't seem to hear the call, and seeing that the silk thread was about to disappear from her sight, she used the speed tested in physical education class, gritted her teeth, and hurried to catch up with the Pretty Cures who kept exclaiming as they passed through several studios in the movie city. When they came to an Edo street, they just lost the trace of the silk thread.

"Huha——" Ayumi, who had exhausted all her strength, was holding her knees on the street, gasping for breath. Before she had time to feel disappointed, a scream from a distance startled her!

"Wait, hasn't the area been cleared? Why are there people here?!"

The incessant rhythm of vibrations came from under her feet, getting closer and closer. Ayumi found herself standing in the path of a galloping horseless carriage.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The director came hurriedly from a distance with a loudspeaker and called out to the horses desperately, but there was no way the two horses in front of him that were speeding up could stop so quickly.

The girl wanted to escape, but her trembling calves were cramping and she couldn't move them.

"Ayumi—!"

That was Lihua's scream. Lihua rushed over without even having time to think about it. She instinctively pushed Ayumi away who was standing there.

When she turned around, the railing of the galloping carriage was already in front of her, and the dust raised by the horse's hooves blurred the girl's vision.

Oops! Too late...

Chapter 97: Smiling Murderous Intent

She wanted to do something, but even if her cold hands wanted to touch the Smile Makeup Box, it was too late.

The carriage was getting closer and closer. Faced with the time that seemed to slow down, Lihua could clearly see the fear on the director's face, the open mouths of her friends, and Ayumi who was kneeling on the ground and reaching out to her.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment.

A blue-white shadow stepped on the floor and flew up from the air. The unsheathed silver light reflected the man's sword-like eyes in the sun.
