Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Looking at the girl who was in a daze on his palm, Ash could clearly see the pretended strength in the girl's eyes, which was gradually fading away due to the enhanced clarity of the monitor after the armor exploded.

Ash, who inherited all the memories between them, understood what she was thinking, or rather, he felt bad too.

I really want to love.

I really want to be loved.

However, Ash couldn't possibly respond to her, otherwise it would be even more cruel to her.

"Ayumi."

Indeed, your story began with our encounter, and it's hard to forget, but...

What will be the outcome of waiting for that hopeless miracle...even Ash doesn't know.

"Ash...."

"Isn't it time to sleep yet?" Before the two people beside him could notice, the man's cheerful voice, having swept away the last traces of emotion in his heart, emanated from his machine. "Usually, I'm the one who gives my all to make others regret it. With such a tradition, how could I possibly let someone else snatch it away?—It hurts."

Hearing this, Lei was immediately furious. With red eyes, she turned around and punched Ash in the chest. Even Mana behind her gave her an angry look.

"How dare you say that! I'll beat you to death, you jerk! I'll beat you to death!"

"Why has my Lei become so violent?"

"Who's yours now?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it's okay! I was wrong, I was wrong, okay!"

Ash...Mr.

Looking up at the elegant and beautiful face of the pink God of Steel "Happy Doll", through those focused eyes, I seemed to be able to see Ash in the cockpit behind him, and I could also hear the sounds of their bickering and laughter.

Ayumi took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"I... really envy you guys." The girl smiled as she spoke. "I envy the girl who's being chased."

Because I can only chase after others.

"Hmm?" Ash blinked, unable to understand the meaning of her words.

"I really don't want to admit it, it's all because of my youth... It hurts."

Ash, who was pretending to be deep, was lightly kicked on the back by Mana, who was a little dissatisfied with what he saw.

"Instead of just talking about this, why not just join in the fun!"

"I know."

I'm giving others a chance to perform, so you don't say I've taken all the spots.

After placing the "Goddess of Victory" who had blessed her aside in a safe place, the girl robot, whose appearance had changed drastically, stretched out her slender fingers and clenched them into fists one by one in her palms.

Rushing in front of the assassin's skin that had been peeled off by the Pretty Cure, the girl-shaped machine took graceful steps like dancing, turning into a scalpel to continuously cut off the excess "impurities" on the opponent's body.

Grabbing the overly protruding "horns" on the opponent's head, Ash, who had learned the true teachings of a certain Ao, controlled the machine to cut off the horns with a knife, and then stabbed it back into his body with the backhand. After dodging a close-range blow by leaning sideways, his iron fists turned into a storm and submerged the opponent's whole body!

“Crack!”

The open iron palms grabbed the hands that were stabbing towards him, and in the stalemate, the two hands were finally intertwined and held together.

"Why, Pretty Cure!"

The dark forces of the Pretty Cure world naturally include the power of those defeated villains. At this time, the assassin substance made a sound representing their anger and confusion.

Every time, every time, the result is the same. I, who ultimately possessed the strongest and greatest power of darkness, somehow always lost to the inexplicable burst of "idealism" from your inexplicable awakening!

I, we have never defeated them once, so the assassin continued to roar and roar.

"Why do you always win in the end?!"

When you use up your last bit of strength and try to hold on until the last second without giving up hope, a miracle will happen.

Isn't this the natural outcome?!

"You won't understand the power that emerges from me and them!"

Faced with the defeated questioning, no one wanted to explain. Ash even pushed the joystick and delivered a clean headbutt to the opponent, knocking him back.

"Everyone, please give me your lives!"

"It's more than just life." Hishikawa Rikka, who always acts as a brake for her companions, is now smiling with more confidence than ever before.

"Heart, emotions, soul, haven't we given you more things?" Erika Kurumi closed her eyes and with a sacred attitude that completely subverted her own image, she wholeheartedly transferred all her strength to this machine.

"As long as you need it." Reika Aoki, who was doing the same thing as others, tossed her long hair behind her and expressed everyone's thoughts with confidence.

"In return, you can take them all."

The pink aura mixed with blood-like color gradually burned and enveloped the entire body of the machine. At this moment, Ash, who was fully supported by the three pink girls and other bonds, felt more intuitively that the power contained in it was beyond any previous time.

"Use that move, and coordinate with my timing!"

"Well, let's do that!"

"Well, let me make things look nice."

"[Eh. Which move is that?]" Ash, who was the only one who received everyone's approval without the machine itself realizing it, pressed the foot pedal. Happy Doll half-crouched with its hands open at its sides, and after all the burning aura gathered on its right leg like a flame, it immediately started running with big strides.

“Trample, tramp!”

Every step the divine machine took on the ground left a burning footprint, and the thrusters under its skirt sprayed out flames that were more explosive than ever before and soared into the sky.

“Drink aaaaaaaa——!”

"Limit removed! Ash, make your wish at this moment--" Mana, overly excited, even jumped off the seat behind her, and together with the roaring Ash, she pushed the joystick forward.

"Burst out with all your strength!" Leaning in Ash's arms behind her, Lei carefully put the monster below into the sight of the gun.

"[Wait——]" Miyuki herself, who appeared in a dialog box that popped up next to them, looked at their intimate posture with her mouth wide open. "[Don't do this inside me, ahhhh——]"

No matter how Miyuki shouted in her heart, the girl's body did a front flip and kicked out her burning right leg majestically. In mid-air, she was performing the most standard flying kick!

"It's a well-established rule to yell it out when using this move!"

"Ultimate—"

The assassin substance shot countless obstructive light bullets at the machine in the sky in its dying struggle, hoping to hinder it for even a second.

“Rider——”

But it was useless, useless, all useless! All the light bullets grazed the sides of the machine, and the background behind it exploded.

"Precure——"

Lei kept pulling the trigger in her hand, gathering the power of Ash and all the Pretty Cure's wishes into this one kick.

“Kick————!!!”

The flying kick penetrated the assassin's chest without any hindrance!

The blows of light and darkness intersected at this moment.

Evaporative heat continued to burst out from her overheated right leg. The "girl" with her back to the remnants of the assassin's substance slowly stood up against the backdrop of a huge explosion behind her.

Looking at the sky that was once again filled with light, Ash and the girls couldn't help but laugh.

"Disappear from this world."

"Your heartbeat—"

"Heart Catch!"

“[The lines are all messed up!]”

Of course, in this messy yet smiling mess, it’s almost over.

------

Ash and Ayumi Sakagami looked at each other during the time that the girls reserved for them alone. The man and the girl looked at each other in silence and awkwardness.

But there will be no progress if we delay, some things have to be talked about eventually.

"Ayumi."

"Mr. Ash."

The girl has a small wish.

I hope you won't leave me again, I hope you can hold me tight.

I just hope you can whisper to me, "I will be with you..." But, it's really impossible, right?

After all, everything in this story is just a "dream".

"you are not alone."

Hearing this, Ayumi paused as she was about to leave, and turned back carefully to ask.

"Is he still here?"

"of course."

The man took a step forward and tapped his fingers on the girl's chest and his own heart.

"He has always been here with you and here with me."

"always there."

Looking at the girl's departing back and the coin hanging around her neck fluttering in the wind, Ash finally smiled.

"Ash is so powerful, why not just take her down as well as us?"

"This is totally different, Rei." Ash reached out and tapped the girl on the head. "Really? Have I been bullying you too much? But this isn't my fault, right? Who says Rei is so cute when she's flustered and angry~"

"That's bad." The pink-haired girl's shy expression was obscured by the reflection of her glasses as she lowered her head. "But if Ash feels happy bullying me, then... then go ahead and bully me!"

"Wait!" Miyuki, who had finally transformed, ran over angrily. "I'm the one who's been bullied by Ash."

"Alright, alright." Ai, with her hands between the two of them, proudly puffed out her chest. "Whoever is right about Ash's benefits will get it."

"But before that, I, as his first best friend, will keep Ash in my care!"

"You can't run away secretly, Miss Mana."

"Yes! This is abusing power for personal gain!"

As Ash was watching them playfully with a smile on his face, the other girls also approached him from behind and looked at him.

"Ash."

Lily's words reveal the complex emotions of losing and regaining something.

"Almost." Even the usually generous Qian looked at him with a deep affection she had never seen before. "Isn't it time to come back?"

"I'm asking you."

Ash looked back at them and asked them a question without thinking.

"Why do you always win in the battles with you?"

"Do you want to know why we always win in the end?" Although it is a strange question, the girls have their own answer.

"Because we are righteous. No matter how difficult or hopeless it is, we are the Pretty Cures who will stand up and defeat all evil in the end! We are different from someone who is an evil villain."

"It was clearly five or six people who beat me up before, wasn't it?"

"Wu, Wu Lu Sai, that's of course justice! In special effects, heroes will always summon their allies when facing powerful enemies! This is already a rule! So a just beating is also justice! Don't you even understand this, Ash?"

A few girls were so angry that they stamped their feet, but their eyes were still tacitly looking away while they said such words.

It was still a bit too difficult for these girls who always believed in justice and heroism seriously to admit it as shamelessly as Ash usually did.

"Yes, I accept this explanation for now."

Well, that's it.

"This time, it really made my heart beat faster than it has in a long time."

Particles of light as brilliant as gold floated down from the smiling Ash.

"Ash—you!"

The girl reacted immediately and suddenly remembered something. Yes, last time!

The last time Ash left, his tone was just as gentle.
