Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Do something big! Do something big, girl! GO!"

"Snapped--!"

A thick dictionary was thrown at the boy's face, causing him to fall backward into the deeper ruins, splashing up another cloud of rubble and dust.

The girl standing at the door with her cheeks flushed red maintained her throwing posture, and the next second she let out a sharp scream that was comparable to a sonic attack.

"Thief! Pervert, exhibitionist!!!"

"Cough cough it hurts... I'm not a thief."

"Exhibitionist, pervert! Shameless!"

"This is worse than a thief."

Touching the red marks on his face, A grimaced in pain.

It hurts so much... Is this body, which has absolutely no strength, so weak and fragile?

"My...my holiday homework!"

The holiday homework assigned at Nanaseigaoka Academy is much simpler than that of Ayumi's previous school, so she tried hard to finish all the homework in one go in the past few days, thinking that she could have fun in the days to come... Is this true?

So how do I explain to the teacher now? I'm supposed to have finished it, but a naked guy showed up and ruined it... No! I don't want to be a school celebrity like Miyuki!

"Uuuuuu——"

Holding the shredded homework book, Ayumi Sakagami felt like crying but had no tears... No, she was actually crying.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Tightening the belt around his waist, A adjusted his new clothes. This white leather jacket was a bit too big for his current body shape, but it wasn't funny at all, at least it was better than running around naked with his butt exposed.

"Aren't there any more handsome clothes?"

"What? I stole these clothes from Daddy's room, and not only did you not thank me, you're even being picky about them!"

With cheeks puffed up with indignation, the girl looked up and shouted at the boy on the other side of the hole in the ceiling.

He is obviously a handsome guy, but it turns out that he is not only an exhibitionist, but also extremely shameless!

"Mom will come back later. This is the hole you made in my house. You promised to fix it!"

"Ahem, I know..." After coughing twice more, A reluctantly picked up the hammer. "I'll satisfy you, Miss."

If I hadn't been chased by a monster and had no other choice but to jump down, gamble that a Leap of Faith wouldn't kill me, I wouldn't be in such a mess. No, A, you should think on the bright side. At least you did have faith and didn't fall to your death, right?

"Dang Dang Dang——"

Under the "supervision" of the girl, A used his frail body to do the civil engineering work.

"that...."

Hearing the sound coming from below again, A leaned his head over and saw the girl sitting on the ground with eyes full of confusion and anger.

"Who are you?"

Ayumi has always been an introverted child.

Even though she became friends with the enthusiastic Miyuki and others at Nanaseigaoka Academy, her fear of socializing still made her hesitant to take the initiative to talk to other strangers.

But now it was different. Not only did A's overly shocking appearance make her feel mixed emotions that even overwhelmed her social phobia instincts for a moment, but the other person's inexplicable temperament also reminded her of someone.

Someone who is just as weird and unique as this guy, standing out among other normal people like a crane among chickens.

A person who always smiled with Miyuki and the others, but disappeared completely in the end, and it was also an accident that changed him...

A person.

"Me? Of course, I'm a human being. No, to be more precise, I should be considered half... a quarter of a human, right?"

After all, it was the Pretty Cure's desires that called out to "Ash" who responded to them, and then Ash, who had taken over the assassin's essence, was split in two...

It's me.

The clinking sound of the boy's hands mending things served as the narration between the two people's conversation.

"If you insist, I'm the unwanted, discarded adult part of me."

"You're lying!" Ayumi protested, thinking she was being played by someone else's weird words again. "You look about the same as me, at most you're just a little older!"

As if she had forgotten her social anxiety personality, Ayumi started arguing with A for a while.

"I'm a boring, useless adult who's forgotten his dreams." A shook his head, his smile turning ironic. "He's just a crying, fussy kid."

After all, in the eyes of Pretty Cure, Ash's existence is actually fragmented.

Brutal violence without any reason.

Love and tenderness that can be sacrificed for them.

That's why I'm here.

“It’s meaningless…”

Unable to obtain any more valuable clues, Ayumi changed the subject.

"A is just an alphabetic symbol, it can't be considered a name, right?"

"What is your real name?"

The boy swung the hammer and hammered the nail into the board. His face was a little pale and he laughed at the girl below.

"I don't have a name."

"I have only been born into this world for half a day."

"Hmph, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

Ayumi no longer paid any attention to this liar who was full of lies. She would never believe his nonsense!

But this time Ayumi was wrong. In a sense, A really didn't tell a single lie.

Not long ago, Ash, who had collected all the things he longed for, decided to devour these props that originally belonged to him, repair the assassin's material body and complete his possession of it.

As a result, some essential reasons were accidentally exposed during the fusion process, resulting in a rather ugly special effects scene. As a result, at such a critical moment, two Pretty Cures, one black and one white, came to the door and blasted over with a sparkling black and white whirling flash.

That skill, which was different from the purification skills of other Guangmei in memory, contained powerful destructive power, which directly caused the repair and fusion process to collapse on the spot, and even caused the destruction to cause a split.

This is the reason why the individual named "A" was born.

"Ha~"

I wonder what expressions those two Pretty Cures would have if they knew that it was them who caused all of this to happen?

No, if I think along these lines, wouldn’t I have to call them mom?

Thinking of this, A once again couldn't help but let out an adult-like wry smile.

Chapter 8 The true nature of the contract and the existence of Ash?

Sitting on the ground, Ayumi Sakagami looked at the half-collapsed room, including her bed, and felt very aggrieved.

Obviously, up to this age, no opposite sex other than my father has ever entered my room. But now, let alone the feeling of being in a room with someone else for the first time, I don’t even have a room anymore!

What's more, this guy who calls himself "A" and speaks a lot of incomprehensible words always says that I need to sign a contract with him... This sounds very suspicious!

Why are you so inexplicably haunting me? Is it because I'm a Pretty Cure?... Yeah, I'm Precure! That day, when darkness enveloped the world and even a black hole appeared in the sky, I bravely fired the first shot. So, I guess I contributed to saving the world, right?

Why did I have to suffer this? Who among my family members understands?

The sunlight that was shining on Ayumi's face from above was blocked, and the sudden change of light in the room also brought the girl back to her thoughts.

"A?"

They actually did it. They fixed such a big hole in the roof. How amazing!

"A, what's wrong?"

He called out the other person's name again but received no response after waiting for a long time. Ayumi looked up and saw that the hole had been repaired. When he was still confused, he heard the boy's voice coming from the window beside him.

"Yo..."

With one hand resting outside the guardrail and his face covered in sweat, A gave a forced smile to the girl who hurriedly opened the window.

"I originally wanted to just climb in...but I overestimated my strength at this point. I can't cling to the window anymore."

"Look, I've worked hard for this family. Since I just fixed your roof, how about giving me a hand?"

After the flustered Ayumi used all her strength to drag A out of the window, the two exhausted people simply spread out together, too tired to care about their image and lay on the ground, breathing in the air mixed with dust, and then started coughing together.

"Ahem, ahem—is your body so weak?"

He's obviously taller than me, and the muscles on his chest look stronger than mine... She couldn't help but think of the figure of this white-haired boy with wheat-colored skin when he was naked before. Ayumi quickly covered her blushing face and turned to the side, fearing that he would notice her.

"That part of my strength is now all on the other side of my body, cough cough..." As if to prove this, the boy, who was shaking like a sickly person after the intense exercise, coughed violently twice, almost coughing up his lungs. "Forget it, you won't understand anything I'm saying now."

However, the problem with the body is not a big deal. After all, this body is just a defective product that was accidentally "struck by lightning" and is entrusted with a useless thought. The most important issue now is how to make this girl who can lend me her power trust me...

Just when A was feeling helpless, he felt a pair of soft hands climbing up his back and actually helped him up. When he turned around and faced her, he saw the apologetic and worried look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know your body was like this... I was afraid that when Mom came back and saw it, she would scold me, so I insisted that you help me fix the roof!"

What surprised A was that the girl with her hands clasped in front of her was actually apologizing to him sincerely.

"A, you smashed through my house like that, but it wasn't intentional, right? And then I was unreasonable and made you almost fall down..."

She thought of someone, the one who took the initiative to become friends with her in the new school - Hoshizora Miyuki.

Miyuki became a school celebrity because she was seen several times being picked up by a man named Ash at the school gate. This led to rumors circulating among the students about her. Ayumi felt that if it were Saki, she wouldn't have the courage to interact with anyone until graduation.

But Miyuki was different. She didn't care about any of this at all, relying solely on her ever-present smile and friendly attitude to dispel the strange rumors. Everyone in school, including Ayumi, was reluctant to be friends with this girl who was always honest and sincere. To be more precise, she envied Miyuki's mentality.

But she didn't even have the courage to talk to others, so even after becoming a Pretty Cure, she didn't dare tell anyone and always just sat there in a daze.

Including now, there are obviously better options, but I only think about myself and almost hurt the other person. It is because I am such a despicable person...that I am not qualified to have friends like Miyuki, right?

Just when Ayumi was blaming herself and feeling regretful, the imagined blame did not come. Instead, a hand gently covered her head to convey warmth.

"Well, I'm fine, right?"

Oh, really, what am I worried about... Both Mana and Lei have seen so much, but I'm still not convinced?

She will be chosen as Pretty Cure.

"He's a good kid indeed."

I really want the crazy people in the next shed and you, a young girl, to learn from me.

"Um, please don't touch other people's heads casually..."

After being stunned for a long time, he dodged the hand on his head in a panic. However, Ayumi's attitude was no longer as sharp as before. Instead, she shrank her shoulders shyly and glanced at him from time to time.

He's clearly someone so strange that your first reaction is to not want anything to do with him...but surprisingly, he has an understanding and gentle side?

Feeling, surprisingly not that annoying?

Before Ayumi knew it, the shyness that always made her unable to muster up the courage in front of strangers disappeared from A's presence.

"Okay, now let's talk about the contract."

After clapping his hands and sitting opposite the girl, A's expression suddenly turned serious and he was ready to get down to business.

"Don't worry, this isn't some kind of contract where you're trading your soul for something. Well, to be more precise, you're actually in the black. It's so beneficial to you it's like a grand opening promotion with free shipping!"

"What exactly does the contract require?"

Hearing that the other party had finally taken the bait, A also snapped his fingers crisply.

"You saw the monster rampage on the streets earlier, didn't you? If you saw it, then it's easy to explain."

"The contract states: You will join me in defeating the mastermind behind this incident!"

Seeing Ayumi's dazed expression, A nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, that makes sense, right?"

"What is this? A coin. It doesn't look like Japanese Yen."
