Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

However, I surprisingly don't feel disgusted.

"Mr. Ash, what exactly are you planning to do this time?"

"Look, we're getting married." Hearing Lihua's question from behind the screen, Ash's voice suddenly sounded a little embarrassed. "But, I don't even know what you like... Well, you women seem to be very professional, so I should also try to connect with you and get serious, right?"

“…”

Although it was an overwhelmingly positive argument, Lihua was left speechless for a moment by Ash's cold response.

"You still know about this kind of thing—" Lihua, who was almost choked to death by Ash, took another deep breath. "Isn't this too late!?"

"Oh, isn't there a saying? Even if it's not quick, it's still better to sharpen your sword before the battle. Cramming at the last minute is better than not cramming at all!"

If the person who said this proverb knew that you also used it, he would definitely cry, right?

For some reason, Lihua suddenly felt very tired, as if she would lose if she argued with him.

"Come on, Ash!"

Waving her fists, Lihua's encouraging voice came from behind the screen.

"This, this is marriage! Marriage is something very precious to both young people and men!"

"If you all say so, it seems to be true." After pondering for a while, Ash suddenly approached Lihua's shadow behind him through the screen, and without waiting for her to retreat, he reached out and grabbed the girl's soft little hand.

"Well, how about this?"

As if changing his face, the man's originally expressionless face instantly turned into an extremely sincere expression, and all he could see in his eyes was Lihua's beautiful face behind the screen.

Even through a thin layer of gauze, Lihua could feel Ash's gaze.

"I promise you!" Without giving the girl a second thought, Ash tightened his grip on her soft hand, pressing her with his words. "I will make you happy. I will hug and kiss you tightly, my blue princess. Please believe me."

"—"

The girl's slightly opened thin lips were unable to make any sound for a moment, but even if she could regain her composure, Lihua had no idea what to say at this moment.

However, the change of her thin and tender skin, which gradually turned as rosy as a fresh apple, was pleasing to the eyes and might have fully revealed her inner thoughts.

"Yes, it is."

After a while, Ash, with a "loving" look in his eyes, finally got Lihua's mosquito-like approval. He finally let go of her hand easily and jumped aside happily.

"Ha—I told you, this kind of sweet talk won't fail that easily, especially since I'm a handsome guy, which is rare among the protagonists!"

First, Ash seemed to still be upset about the fact that his charm had not been effective before.

Second, Ash knew he was handsome.

"..."

Lihua's expression was empty at this moment.

"You..."

When it comes to disappointing people in some way, it really never disappoints.

But she couldn't help but smile easily along with him.

Now, in the shrine provided by the set, the two of them knelt quietly together. This was the scene that made Ash feel confused.

What is going on?

First, the attendees Yayoi and her companions also changed into kimonos and entered. After they, the protagonists, entered, the red and white abbot shrine maiden who came from nowhere performed a purification ceremony for them with imperial coins, and also played a blessing prayer in an orderly manner. Then there was the three-offering ceremony using sparkling water instead of wine. With the director team recording non-stop behind the scenes, everything went so smoothly.

I don't know why it went so smoothly to this point.

Wait, why, why hasn't that weirdo arrived yet? I made sure there weren't any other weddings today. That's enough! Wouldn't the fight usually start by this time? Where are you guys? Did you get into a car accident with the next team or the Knights studio and are stuck in traffic?!

He wanted to touch the dark sword in his arms to confirm it again, but Lihua, who was sitting opposite him, was too solemn and there was no chance to touch her.

"Mr. Ash..." a girl's soft voice came from the other side. "You've been waiting for a long time. (Falling tone)"

"Yeah, what's this guy doing...Hasn't he come yet?"

"No, I mean, I've been waiting for a long time..." Even without looking, Ash could feel the resentful gaze cast at him. "Such a pause is too rude."

Lihua, who is completely "into the role", is now implementing her correct and calm side as a woman of the Aoki family, and of course, the same requirements for her "husband".

"It's obviously acting."

"It's precisely because of acting that such unprofessional remarks are even more disrespectful."

When did you become so serious?

But if we continue, we'll have to say vows, exchange rings, kiss, and so on, but I don't feel very happy about it...

"I think the enemy must be nearby. I need to act more realistically to lure it out (falling tone) - Ash first... Dana (rising tone)!"

But why should I kiss you? And is this part of Japanese weddings... Never mind! If it's for me to verify the possibility of changing the future—

"Yale yale daze....Li--darling."

"Yeah, Dana~"

He gently lifted the pure white hood and looked at the delicate face of his lovely "wife" with rosy cheeks in front of him. His eyes stayed on her soft and smooth cherry lips. The man held her cheeks with more strength, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly moved himself closer.

I could feel the increasingly hot breath on my face, and an inexplicably sweet smell...

"no!"

The door of the shrine was suddenly pushed open, and the girl's figure stood in front of the shadow cast by the sun.

"I disagree!!!"

Chapter 107 The Second Bride

Several girls standing outside the shrine looked at the figures of the two "newcomers" in the flickering candlelight inside, and couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

"Both Reika and Onii-sama have become so beautiful~" Yayoi wiped away the tears from her eyes as she pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket, her face gleaming with longing. "It reminds me of the time when my dad took me to visit a church. It would be so blissful to be a bride, wouldn't it?"

"Of course our school's prettiest belle is the most beautiful, so it's normal for Yayoi to have such romantic thoughts... but..." Akane, who for some reason was dressed up as a punk with her hair tied up, couldn't help but complain. "What's with that 'brother-sama' address... so what exactly happened between you two?"

"Hmm? Onii-sama is Onii-sama, right?" Seeing Akane's face, "What's with that title?" but unable to speak, Yayoi tilted her head and gave Akane a somewhat mysterious smile. "As for our origins, it's a secret. Just like Akane, doesn't Akane have her own little secrets with Onii-sama that she doesn't want to tell?"

"Yes, that's right." She tapped her soft cheeks a little embarrassedly with a slightly red cheek, remembering that in order to fulfill her promise to take Ash to eat her family's ancestral cooking, she had recently been practicing further cooking skills with her parents who ran a restaurant.

At that time, they smiled and asked themselves what they were going to do this time because they were so serious...It was really hard to say that they were working hard for men!

"Wow, I feel like Yayoi is a little scary right now. What's going on..."

"Although she's beautiful, this kind of beauty isn't real!" A resentful voice from the side interrupted Qian's mood. Turning around, she saw Zhi biting his handkerchief and pulling it rather unbecomingly. "Lihua actually became the bride. I can't accept it, I can't accept it!"

"What's going on with you again..." Akane, whose hand went from supporting her face to resting on her forehead, was almost unable to complain. "Okay, don't worry, it's just a battle plan. Ash won't take our Reika away... probably."

"But I still can't accept it!" A series of crackling sounds came from the straight mouth that had become quite extreme for some unknown reason. "Mingming, when we were kids playing games together, I was the dad and Lihua was the mom. Lihua clearly said she would marry me when we were little!"

"Is this some kind of set where kids are playing house and having a quarrel?" Qian shrugged her shoulders, feeling as if she was about to be dragged down and crushed by the black line from behind. Apart from the constant twitching of the corners of her mouth, she didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

Come to think of it, Miyuki wasn't in the audience this time? Also, there's no sign of the enemy anywhere. Why hasn't that enemy appeared yet? If this continues, even in the movie, Reika will really marry Ash!

Qian, who was rubbing her hands in anticipation, didn't notice that her constantly tapping toes was also proof of her extremely anxious waiting.

"Will this work? Will they really attack me?"

"Ah, look, they're going to kiss!" The voice coming from the delighted Yayoi instantly interrupted all their thoughts and attracted their attention. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the bride and groom.

The two people's "loving" eyes intertwined with each other, emitting lightning. Lihua's moist thin lips reflected an even more different scene under the reflection of the candlelight. The man was about to hold up this beauty, and with the oath of love, completed the kiss scene in front of the gods.

"Liar!" Qian quickly covered her open mouth and screamed, almost falling to the ground. "Liar, liar, liar!"

"Why is it you this time?!"

Before Zhi could say anything, and was about to collapse because of Qian's sudden change of expression, a young girl came running towards him quickly.

"Is this the place...?"

"Oh, Ayumi?" Nao asked hurriedly, somewhat surprised that she was here. "Why are you here... Could it be that your sister has returned to normal and no one is causing trouble?"

"No, my sister still doesn't want to get married." After shaking her head with some regret, Ayumi looked towards the shrine and saw Lihua's figure, and immediately became anxious. "But I heard that in order to lure out that strange thing, a fake marriage is required. No way!"

"Marriage is a major event in life. It's too much for Lihua to sacrifice herself for me and my sister." Ayumi said, and she was about to run inside in a panic. "I have to stop them! We can't sacrifice Lihua's happiness and let her do something she doesn't want to do."

What's more, they even had to kiss me - even though I'm useless and introverted, I can't let my friends be treated like this!

"No, no, no!" He quickly stopped Ayumi from rushing in and frantically explained. "Let's not talk about how you're going to stop me. Actually... I don't think Lihua seems unhappy."

"Rather... he actually looks quite happy."

No, Lihua! That look of being intoxicated by it, what's that? Hey, the change is even faster than the previous Yayoi, isn't it? How can such a vice president run Nanaseigaoka Academy well?

"Huh?" After hearing Zhi's words, Ayumi stood there in a daze, opening and closing her mouth in confusion. She was at a loss for what to do for a moment.

Didn't Ash say that married people are untrustworthy? And there's this aloof vice-president who seems to be at odds with him... Hey, what's going on here? Is this magic? I don't understand!?

"So..."

At this moment, another sound of footsteps came towards the shrine. I saw Hoshizora Miyuki running up the stairs, holding a makeup box in one hand and a small accessory in the other. She was sweating profusely but still dragging Tangtang as she ran towards this side.

"Wait, Miyuki! What are you going to do with that dress accessory, Kuru?"

Without answering Tangtang's question, Miyuki stuffed the accessories into the makeup box in one go and pressed the center start icon.

"[let's go! dress~! (dress)]"

As the makeup box made a sound, a golden pure light enveloped her body, a layer of black gauze covered the girl's face, and her outdoor sportswear was replaced with an extremely gorgeous black bridal-style wedding dress.

"Mi-Miyuki!"

As the others were stunned and shouting incessantly, Hanayome Miyuki, who was almost tripping over the stairs while holding her skirt, rushed to the entrance of the shrine, pushed the door open in one breath, and interrupted the two people who were about to kiss.

"no--"

Beneath the pitch-black veil, the girl's pure tears splashed out, and in the sunlight, they reflected the surprised expressions of the two people standing one in front and the other behind.

Chapter 108 Screenwriter: Io Toshiki

"No! I don't agree!!!"

Generally, no one would give a good face to someone who suddenly interrupted their "good thing". The two people, who began to look a little unhappy, looked towards the figure at the door, but when they saw the person's black wedding dress and the iconic pink hair underneath, a very funny stunned expression froze on their faces.

"No, Ash, you can't get married!"

She lifted the pure black veil on her head, and tears kept sliding down Miyuki's sobbing face.

"If you get married and take Lihua away, we won't be able to feel happy!"

As mentioned in the previous chapter, while accepting help from the enthusiastic crew, the director team also sat in a professional position and set up the camera from the beginning of the ceremony, including the intrusion of Ayumi and Miyuki this time. The very dedicated crew also recorded this unexpected incident on the videotape.

"Yes, right here!" Pointing at Miyuki who had intruded, the director, nearly exploding with excitement, waved his hands frantically like a band conductor. "Zoom in, zoom in! Zoom in again! First, quickly cut to the surprised expressions on the bride and groom's faces, then give this lady a close-up!"

"That's right, follow that close-up of the tear! It drips onto the lily on the chest—perfect! Amazing, amazing! The emotional intensity of this performance is so well captured! Mr. Ash is amazing, I wonder where he found these actors with such great acting skills!"

"Hey, Director..." The assistant director, who was looking at the script, had a deadpan expression. "Putting aside the age issue, was there such a plot in our original script?"

"Idiot!" the director, punching his assistant director in the head and leaving a large bump, cursed angrily at the director pointing at the live footage. "It's rare for this scene to be this good! It's simply the best natural shot. Let's shoot it first, and we can worry about the rest of the plot later!"

“That’s too much…”

"Isn't this too outrageous?" Ayumi covered her cheeks with her mouth open, unable to believe whether the "wedding robbery" scene in front of her was happening in reality or she had really traveled to a movie.

"Mi-Miyuki!" Reika, rarely showing any signs of panic, waved her hands repeatedly at Miyuki, who was on the verge of tears. "No, not at this time! Don't get in the way! Get out of the way!"

"No!" Miyuki, who usually obeyed everyone, also rarely contradicted her. Now Miyuki, who was more stubborn than a cow, shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, no, this is the only place where it's not allowed!"

Yayoi, Akane, Nao and others outside had all been petrified and did not even notice the silk thread quietly reaching in from the window behind them.

What kind of hilarious misunderstanding is this?!

And why you? Miyuki! Does this have anything to do with you?

"Mei Xing - let's not talk about the part where you slandered me." He closed his eyes and tapped his forehead quickly with his fingers to drive away the irritation, because this outrageous part was not even mentioned in the prophecy of the Dark Sword.

"What are you planning to do now? Didn't we agree to draw lots?"

"Yes, but - look!" Anxious Meixing took the wooden stick from Tangtang's hand and showed it to everyone. Even Lihua widened her eyes. She didn't expect that she also had a short stick in her hand.
