Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"No, I've already given you all the coins, Master Ash."

"Besides, we are Ash-sama's Precure. How could we turn against Ash?"

"Nani?!"

Shocker exclaimed "oooooo" and held the five coins in his hand without caring about his image. What happened before automatically flowed into his memory, making his pupils tremble even more.

"Yes, it was at that time—"

He raised his hand to cover his forehead, blocking his already broken facial expression.

He mechanically scanned everyone present, even the Pretty Cure who had no strength left after being stripped of their powers on the cross. He seemed to be able to feel the omnipresent compassion.

"At that time you—"

"Why, why would you betray me—"

"Betrayal? Master Ash, why do you say that?" Shocker's heartbeat stopped at this moment when he heard the terrified doubts of the beautiful girls with bad endings. "Master Ash is the only and only thing that matters to us. We just like you and believe in you, right?"

"That's why we've always faithfully carried out your orders, huh?"

At this moment, the man who heard the answer seemed to be able to hear no other sound.

He looked down at his feet like a clown.

He looked up at A who was protecting Ayumi like a hero.

I'm Ash...yes. He's Ash? No...yes.

Mana!? A beautiful girl with a bad ending?!

You acknowledged him instead of me?

The sound of my retreating footsteps was crisp, and my own deep breathing lingered in my ears.

Today, my hands are shaking.

Today, my heart aches.

If the expression on the man's face can still be called an expression and I have to describe it, there are probably only two words.

Heartbroken

"Quack—then—?"

He wanted to shout something, but the man, staring in shock, couldn't say anyone's name for a long time.

"The Ash that you, Mana, identify with is—yeah—!"

Turning his head to look at Mana and A who were leaning against each other, he saw the boy wiping the tears from the girl's eyes, and the girl holding the boy's hand and standing up from the ground.

Listening to the breathing of this man who was spinning around and couldn't find his direction, and seeing him shaking his head and letting his hands hang down helplessly, Lei and Miyuki's originally angry hearts began to feel sad again.

“Ughhhhhhhhhh——!”

The compound eyes of the mask that had been covered again at some unknown time also shook violently.

"Uhhh! Ooooohhhh!"

The knights, the monster knights roared with inhuman pain and exhilaration.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The knight was hunched over, his hands dangling aimlessly, and his back suddenly stretched straight, causing him to roar towards the sky.

“Why, why is this happening???!”

The girls tied to the cross could even see the distorted facial expression "shown" on the raised bone mask, and at this moment, inexplicably, they could not feel any resentment towards him.

Mana, the beautiful girl with a bad ending!

"It's not your longing—it's not your trust—it's my desire! Your desire should be relative! Won't you walk with me!!!?"

His hands, which had nowhere to go, waved the Holy Emblem Sword recklessly, and his clenched palms in frustration caused coins to fly all over the floor as he swung them.

"Mana——! Pretty Cure aaaaaaaaa——!!"

The self-destructive knight let out bloody tears from his compound eyes as he howled miserably.

"I, I, I, I did this for you, I have already done this for you——"

Surrounded by the Pretty Cure girls and countless weirdos.

The body that collapsed and drooped began to tremble again, and it sounded like he might pass out in the next second from the crying sound of his inhalation and exhalation.

Why did you betray me in the end, Bad End Precure?!

And Mana...

Mana. ...Mana. ...I...I...I...

I really love you, why do you treat me like this?!

Chapter 80 Heart-Death and Madness

"Crying love heart (Don't cry, my fragile love heart)~? "

On the other side of the rooftop, someone's shoulders were shaking violently. Yaxiu covered her mouth with one hand and seemed to be enduring with great difficulty as she turned up the volume of the player that had been prepared long ago.

"涙はお前にはにあわない (Because these painful tears are not suitable for you)~?"

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

Listening to the song as background music, Yaxiu, one of the onlookers, laughed so hard that he rolled on the ground without caring about his image. He didn't care that the white shirt on his chest was covered with dust. He kept clapping his hands and wanted to hit himself in the face twice.

"Wonderful, it's really wonderful!?"

You are such a genius, I never thought you could show me something so wonderful!

Well, who told you to go so far and do so many bad things? It's not too bad that you have such a clown ending.

"Hmm... am I a little too mean for a Pretty Cure?"

Just as she was lost in thought, she caught a glimpse of the elves on the other side of the rooftop who were worried about their partners.

Especially when she saw that they seemed to be holding something shiny in their hands, the girl immediately became like a bird attracted by reflective objects, and her gold and powder eyes blinked and flashed as she was attracted to them.

Ah, I want to have it! If I had that, I would be able to surpass my goal!!

"Forget it, after all, someone like me——"

The slight introspection was temporarily suppressed.

Happy End belongs to the kind of orthodox, beautiful and kind Precure, and probably has nothing to do with me, an unrecognized outsider Precure.

"But I always feel guilty about hurting such a cute little animal."

Her eyes kept shifting between the show going on below and the elves on the other side. The sound of her slender fingers tapping on the railing finally stopped, indicating that she had made up her mind.

"If possible, I also want those cute elves, fairies, or something like that..."

------

“Ah—! Aaaaaaaaaaa!!”

The roar, which was so miserable that it could no longer be described as miserable, was interrupted by the direct voice of another person.

"You should understand."

Feeling the gaze fixed on her, Mana spoke seriously while holding A's hand.

"The one you like is never Aida Ai or Cure Haert, but only the me that you inherited from Ash's memories."

The Ash that I know, the Ash that they know, is the complete Ash who would never cross his bottom line even when he doesn't know what to do!

"She has never existed in this world!"

"don't want...."

Please, don't say anymore...

"You said you're still childlike, but have you forgotten?" A, standing beside him, fearlessly met those eyes that threatened to burn him with rage. "Ash's original wish was simply to make friends with the heroes, to bring them new joy from his arrival, something they once only dreamed of in a fantasy world!"

"Has the heart at that time been freed from your desires?"

If so, then I——

Three coins emitting purple light, along with another core coin in black and white, flowed into A's clenched palm.

"Desire? Me?"

My desire...is a joke now.

Seeing that the other party actually nodded, the man who was talking to himself laughed crazily in front of countless weirdos, Precure, and Yaxiu, whose head had been beaten so hard by him that he couldn't even straighten his back, laughing like a clown.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Why did God give me such pain? What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong?

"Mine, my desires and my true feelings are all here from the beginning to the end, and have never changed!"

Even through the bone mask...or rather, this mask is its face now, the Pretty Cure present could see how wide its eyes were when it made the declaration.

"Gu..."

Obviously, as an enemy, he was looking so humiliating and funny at the moment, but whether it was Rikka or Reika, even Erika who was often out of tune during battle, they all couldn't laugh. They just felt like they were holding back tears.

The man suddenly raised the Holy Light Slash Sword and pointed it tremblingly in the direction of the golden-haired Pretty Cure.

"Then you—Preucre!"

"Cure heart!"

"Aida Ai!"

“Mana!”

"Hoo-hoo!"

The man took a deep breath and exhaled, gasping for breath after his complete collapse and no longer caring at all. No matter how the beautiful girls with bad endings on their belts tried to comfort him, he had no intention of stopping his frenzy.

You will definitely understand me!

If it were you, you would definitely support me! I have always believed in this and it has never changed!

"Memories! Memories—the time I spent with you is everything to me!"

After all, I am the real one, no! The Super Ash who surpasses Ash!, shaped by your thoughts! But——

Why is it like this——Don’t say such cruel words to me to save “me”!

If you want to save Ash, then what is "I"?!

"Yeah, they've all disappeared..."

The collapsed sword slowly dropped with the trembling hand, and the Pretty Cure girls could already feel that the dark "assassin substance" was truly awakening from this moment on.

At this moment, even Erika, who is usually the most out of touch, or Miyuki, who has the slowest brain, understood one thing.

He's crazy...

Really crazy.

"Hahaha, since it's already disappeared, then just recreate it!"

The only thing that remains unchanged is his "love" for "Aida Ai".

"Starting from today! From the very beginning, let's create our time together again!!"

"..." Mana faced him like this, with a sad expression on her face that almost made her tears burst out again.

"Ah, my weak self, my shadow—my residue!"

A's gaze met those eyes filled with resentment and pain, and he never took his eyes off them.

"If you are the one who bound her, then I will destroy you and take her back! Take back my Mana!"

"Yes, just take her back. That woman belongs to me!!"

and so--

The fingertips of his right hand formed into a sharp spike like a drill bit. The man suddenly jumped up amid the exclamations of the people around him, and with his raised fingertips he stabbed hard towards Aida Ai - A who was beside her.
