Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Is he a disgusting person..."

He muttered this word, his hands crossed on his chin, and the light reflected by his lily glasses made it impossible to see his expression.

If you hate it, just go with it.

Manager....Did you really eat outside secretly?

Makoto didn't know if she had said something wrong, but she felt the "reiatsu" around her had soared by at least 1000%. She was afraid that the other party would take off her glasses and crush them in the next second, so she quickly grabbed her mineral water and started drinking it in big gulps.

"It's truly an honor to be a Pretty Cure alongside Miss Aoki." Sipping warm black tea from nowhere, Arisu gave the blue-haired girl in front of him a warm smile. "However, there are still some things I'd like to confirm with you. For example, what's the order of priority?"

"Well, Miss Yotsuba is right." Maintaining her impeccable posture, Lihua returned the blonde's impeccable smile. "I have something I'd like your advice on, too. For example, how important is it?"

"Zhi, do you think we should join in?"

"Even if you ask me—I'm Erika!"

"Wait, are you really going to fight over that guy? Where are your manners as Pretty Cure?!"

“STOP——!”

Just when the conversation between several people was about to get out of control, Mizuki, the elder brother of the first generation of Mitsumei, jumped out and stopped everyone from arguing.

Anyway, these Pretty Cures, who are clearly from different groups, are discussing the same person, and this person just happens to be their important... friend? If they're friends, they can't be someone they admire and secretly crush on like me, right?

"So that's what you're arguing about." The girl standing nearby, feeling overwhelmed, rubbed her temple and asked uncertainly. "Is it the same person?"

"Maybe?"

"Maybe not?"

When Nagisa brought up this topic, everyone was stunned. They had never really thought about it together.

"So, you said you saw someone you know on the enemy's side this time?" As the senior spoke, more and more people began to react. As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Some of the more intelligent people started to think more and more that something was wrong. "What kind of person is that person?"

"Hey, that?" Lei, already troubled by her teammates' collective abstraction, paused at the question. After careful consideration, she gave an answer. "That person's name is... [Ash]. Well, he's both our most vicious enemy and our greatest friend."

"We originally thought we'd said goodbye to him forever, but it seems like this battle with our seniors is related to him again... In short, he's a very important person to us!"

"Huh?" Miyuki, who had somehow landed on the 5th gogo team's side, opened her mouth blankly, letting the crumbs of snacks she was fed fall out. "Are you talking about Ash?"

really!

Seeing Erika beside Lianlei nodding seriously, Rikka and Reika all showed understanding on their faces, excluding Miyuki whose reaction was slower than a sloth.

But when they heard Lei's description to Ash, the inexplicable unhappy feeling became more and more intense. It was as if the secret hidden deep in their heart and the color of their panties were talked about by others as a joke... For some reason, Arisu and Akane felt like they were the victims of cuckoldry who were hiding behind the crack of the door and witnessing the yellow-haired man's crime.

Wait, so...were we being cheated on by other Pretty Cure?!

The same heart-shattering reaction emerged in the hearts of three different groups of Pretty Cure.

"In that case, we..." Mingtangyuan Wumu's wandering golden eyes actually left a red light in the air. When she thought about how she had been cheated twice in a row by Timmons and the store manager, and this time even her handkerchief was given away, the martial arts girl wanted to chop a few people with her knife to calm down.

Come to think of it, he said I look a lot like someone and can see their shadow... So that's how it is~? Oh no... Oh no... The more I think about it, the angrier I get and the more I want to laugh~

"So it's...the enemy...is that so?" Akane said impatiently as Yayoi looked at her frightened face, as if there was fire burning on her face that looked like she was about to explode at any second.

"Ah, la la~ I thought so." Arisu opened his folding fan, covering half of his face, revealing only his fox-like eyes. The ebony fan frame crackled under the weight of his hand, veins bulging. "We're just friends..."

"Now it seems that our relationship has gone beyond friendship."

Of course, it could be a worse relationship.

Mr. Yaxiu, your actual deception is really too much for us, isn't it?

"Um, everyone?"

Yayoi, who had shrank under the table at some point, showed only a pair of timid eyes outside, watching the heavy snow falling beside Reika who was smiling. Lily, who was in a depressed atmosphere, simply took off her glasses and held them in her hand with no expression of sadness or joy. Rei, who wanted to cry, and the flustered Makoto, who had realized that panicking was useless, continued to drink her second bottle of water. Erika sat with Aguri and Miyuki, eating snacks and complaining about someone's behavior. Finally, Rika, who was standing outside the circle, watched all this with a wry smile on her face.

Nagisa, who was originally exclaiming that she had solved the problem with amazing wisdom, was about to feel proud when she saw that several people were standing face to face in a triangle for some reason, and their eyes met with her in the middle. She smelled the tense atmosphere in the air around them, and sweat suddenly poured down her forehead.

"Can we talk nicely if you have something to say?"

Did I accidentally start something terrible?

------

"Damn..."

A, not daring to breathe, took a deep breath and almost choked to death.

"What? What are you looking at?"

Seeing A with a sweaty face after putting down the telescope, Ayumi, who was about to start hunting monsters with him, felt confused.

"Nothing, but if Ash saw this."

To be honest, although A was mentally prepared, when he actually saw it, he felt a chill down his spine and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

"He probably won't want to win the repechage match."

Chapter 11: Yaxiu: My Favorite Episode (4K)

"Gurura..." The palms that were folded and covering the middle of the skirt were shaking. Makoto was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She raised her right hand tremblingly, as if she was a poor student who was called by the teacher to stand up and answer a question.

"I drank... I drank too much water. I need to go to the toilet."

"Really, Makoto, can't you just go there directly?"

Glancing back at those embarrassing guys whose actions and expressions hinted at the hostile and competitive relationship between them, Aguri was quite speechless that they had to prove their correctness by using their "opponents". She patted her dress and stood up, supporting Makoto, whose legs were shaking as she turned her toes inward, and walked towards the bathroom.

Thanks to the existing atmosphere, several people who couldn't understand had simply stopped caring and decided not to get involved, like the blue-haired girl who was sitting with Miyuki and eating with her mouth full of white food.

"Erika, try this! It's so sweet."

"Hmm? Then I'll try this cake!"

Erika, who once harbored a secret crush on the store manager, saw the chaotic scene. Unlike Rei, who struggled to cope with the chaotic situation, she had already given up on thinking. The girl, who simply didn't want to look at anything, slid the cream off her lips into her mouth with her tongue, and for a moment, she marveled at how wise and generous Erika was to have given up for Rei.

So, that being said... huh?

"Miyuki...this cake is a little sour, isn't it?"

"Hey, how could that be? It's obviously very sweet."

Erika licked her tongue again and nodded. Indeed, it tasted a bit sour....

After everyone watched Makoto, who was about to collapse, stagger away, the tense atmosphere that was on the verge of exploding finally relaxed with a sigh.

If this was the set next door, the situation where Ash's crime was exposed might turn into a clash of hatchets against baseball bats, but as Pretty Cure girls, they couldn't take the initiative to make enemies with others. Moreover, after suppressing the resentment and anger towards Ash in their hearts, things that made them even more worried also surfaced from the bottom of their hearts.

What happened to Ash now?

"Um...can you tell us?"

When the arguing atmosphere finally stopped, Lei finally found an opportunity and stepped forward. She was a little hesitant, but she still mustered up the courage to ask Miyuki and Rika separately.

"What kind of person was he when you saw him? What did he do to you?"

"Manager, is Ash doing okay?"

In fact, when Hanasaki Rei heard that there were other stories about the store manager, Ash, including meeting these Pretty Cures who had also had interactions with him, her heart was very happy... It's not that she had a cuckold fetish that she was happy to share with others, she was just too happy.

After all, they had finally broken the web of conspiracy filled with sincerity and deception, and regained the time they had spent together with Ash. Of course, no matter what, Ash's actual excessive actions still left a grudge in the girls' hearts, but Lei was not too sad at the time. She believed that they could use everyone's efforts to repair this relationship in their daily time together in the future.

What they had never expected was that the daily life they had envisioned for the future would be so short, so short that even the time for him and Ash to merge into an infinite silhouette and blast down Doone was too brilliant and short. He could only helplessly leave his last words, leaving a deep hole in the girls' hearts.

So, no matter what, when she knew that Ash was still alive, even if he was living in another time and space that no longer intersected with hers, Lei was still sincerely happy for his continuation!

But at the same time, the facts behind this incident made her feel more and more melancholy.

It seemed like both the pink child and the blue-bespectacled girl had a deeper understanding of Ash. Compared to them, I didn't know what the manager had been hiding until the moment he was revealed. I had no idea of ​​his past, and even the hidden medical condition he'd been hiding was only discovered right at the end. It was truly embarrassing for us.

We could have shared this with him, so why couldn't he tell us? Even if we couldn't see each other again, at least leave us with a memory... Why, Ash? Even though we'd dated, kissed... you still wouldn't accept and trust us?

"Can you tell me more about Ash?"

That way, at least we can get a little closer to you now.

"Yeah, Ash must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?" Thinking of her own experience as a captive servant, Liuhua felt a pang of amusement. "That guy always hits me at the slightest disagreement, and he hits me so hard that I thought I was doomed several times!"

"Yes, Ash never knows how to distinguish between the serious and the minor when he strikes."

If it weren't for the red bird and Mr. Orangutan standing by him at the critical moment, Arisu probably wouldn't have woken up.

"He also forced us to separate for his own sake. He's completely self-centered and won't listen unless he's convinced by force."

It's a shame Mana isn't here, or she could have told me. But unlike us who seemed to be the first to come into contact, those who came later must have had a very difficult time, right?

"No, he didn't come here out of nowhere." Erika, who was nearby, tilted her head in confusion. "He's the shop manager who's always been there, supporting us. Aside from the coffee being terrible, he's flawless. Otherwise, we wouldn't have fallen for him in the first place!"

???

Rikka and Arisu froze as they were about to continue describing the story, with countless question marks appearing in their eyes.

"And then he destroyed the trust we built with our own hands. We've all been toyed with by him, I guess." Lily shook her head after removing her glasses, hiding the regretful sadness in her eyes. "Even though it was meant to make us stronger, it's still... hard to accept."

"Does this description sound like a super villain who is extremely bad?" An outsider who didn't know the truth complained. It sounded even worse than any monster they had fought before.

"is not that right?"

"Huh?" Miyuki, still wiping the candy crumbs from her mouth, let out a more bewildered sound after hearing the previous person's description. "Ash also attacked us with strange riddles at first, but after we defeated him with all our might, he's been fighting to help us ever since."

? ? ? ? ? ?

Lily, who was still feeling a little melancholy after just finishing her emo, could hardly believe her ears when she heard this. Even Erika, who had been pretending to enjoy watching the show, was so stunned that the cake got all over her skirt. Itsuki, who was standing next to her, thought of his previous conversation with Yayoi, and recalled it with a very subtle expression.

Wait, what Yayoi said about her brother...could this be true?

"Um, let me confirm..." Rei, forcing a smile, rushed over to the startled Miyuki in a panic. "The person we're talking about is [A-Xiu], right?"

"Yeah! That's right!" A very happy Miyuki nodded seriously. She certainly had no intention of disparaging Ash. "Although he sometimes gets into arguments with everyone, Ash has always been dedicated to us and has always been our teacher, guiding us!"

"Even if you are our enemy, it is to change our future!"

"Ashta, he's Miyuki's knight!"

"Old...teacher? Knight!"

This, this, this is not right. Are we talking about the same person?

"Yeah!" Akane next to him chimed in. "He always plays pranks on us, but when he laughs, he's actually quite cute, haha..."

"Onii-sama is the heroic onii-sama who always makes Yayoi act like a spoiled child!"

"Although he has made mistakes, he is a man who dares to take responsibility for his actions."

"Yes! Ash was with us, supporting us till the very end. He's an important comrade, friend, and family member!"

Watching the Smile Group in front of her talking more and more excitedly, and hearing the sounds of wood breaking and people's teeth almost breaking, Lei suddenly felt something rushing to her forehead, her eyes went black, and she fell backwards.

"Wow! Lei—!"

“Chew, chew…”

Wang suddenly stopped stuffing food into his mouth, swallowed the last bite of bread, and looked at the girls who were busy making a mess in the funny atmosphere. He remained in deep thought for a long time, then opened another dessert and started eating.

"If you suddenly stop breathing heavily, say something to me!" Ling behind him pinched the flesh on Wang's waist.

"No, I think they are all important people, but everyone describes that person differently. Could it be that they are the same person in different worlds, just like us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone could see with their own eyes that some people's movements became sluggish, as if they were dancing a robot dance.

"That's right. The difference between their descriptions is so big that it is possible that they are the same person in different time periods." Komachi took out a bottle of water from her bag and handed it to Wang. She seemed a little excited and expressed her opinion.

"Well, do you have new inspiration for the novel?" Xianglian quietly joked to Komachi.

"Add some conflicting relationships between different characters. Ah, I'm so inspired now that I want to write it down~"

"Then you have to grasp the right balance, right?"

"Uh... I still don't understand. Anyway! As long as we defeat that guy, the truth will be revealed, right!" Taoyuan Ai scratched his head and spoke based on his own experience.

Hearing this, several Pretty Cure nearby nodded repeatedly.

Obviously, in the past, whether it was the darkness that wanted to devour the universe or the evil party that controlled all parallel worlds, who didn't fall under the iron fist of justice of the girls? If you can't explain something clearly, just use your fists to make the other party understand, why make it so difficult?

However, most of the girls present, when they thought about the fact that they had never been in a relationship, felt inexplicably dissed and collapsed with their hands covering their hearts in pain.

"But as for love... I'm really a little envious." Ulala hugged Xiaoguang, and facing this scene, her heart also felt a little ripple.
