The girl who got the balloon made up her mind and wanted to thank him excitedly, but she saw the boy smiling and blowing air at him.

"Snapped."

Looking at the balloon that suddenly exploded in her hand, the girl made a bewildered sound.

"Eh?"

--------

"My Lord—I actually—"

The cadre who was about to be beaten into a pig's head by the ancient dragon woke up from the scream of pain. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that he had not died on the spot. When he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a cold low shout.

"Shut up, it's almost time."

The man in white who used his speed to jump between the mirrors and saved him at the critical moment was now running with him on one hand. As if he thought of something, the man turned back and frowned in the direction he came from.

"Kamen Rider..."

Her Majesty the Queen is right, he is such a dangerous guy!

Chapter 15: The Queen's Strong Hostility

The Phantom Empire, an evil nation somewhere in the world, seeks to invade Earth and other continents, plunging the world into the abyss of "worst." Within the core castle of this global villain organization, hostile to the Pretty Cure, a momentous event is unfolding.

"Am I seeing right? That's Oreski?!"

"Ah, it must really be him, so pitiful!"

When Oreski, who had once looked down on other cadres because of his own abilities, was brought back here in a miserable state, it immediately caused a sensation and attracted a lot of onlookers.

"He deserves it. He used to look down on me, haha~" The female cadre "Hoshiwa" who was dressed like a lady with an apple hat laughed at her first, then started to calculate while eating snacks.

"I remember the ones over at Hikari Hill were the Lovely Angels and the Princess Angels, and occasionally the more powerful Fate Angels and Sweet Angels would suddenly appear." After counting the number of people one by one, the girl was puzzled. "Although they are more formidable than the Precures in other places, but... can they beat Oreski like this?"

She glanced at the man who had no strength to refute and could only hum under Ash's ruthless force. The girl, whose hands and feet were a little cold, suddenly felt that the dessert in her mouth no longer tasted good.

Wait, I'm also in charge of the invasion of Hikari Hill in Neon... Oops, I don't want to go. I'm a girl! I don't want to be disfigured like this!

At this time, Oreski not only caused the other cadres to snicker in joy, but also made them feel a sense of empathy and trembling because of the tragic situation.

After all, they all saw the strength of Oreski. If a strong fighter like him was in such a miserable state, then he...

Although they are the invaders who want to bring the "worst" to the world, it is natural that no one wants this "worst" to fall on their own heads.

"He's usually so energetic, so he's just running into this kind of thing." Namakaruda, a male cadre dressed in a completely lazy, gentlemanly manner, yawned with a chill and lay down casually. "But when did Pretty Cure become so violent and cruel..."

The purifying power they use on our dark forces generally wouldn't have such an impact, right?

If I go to the Hill of Light again, will I...? Otherwise, I'll just find a place to sleep after killing a monster. After all, the Phantom Queen asked us to invade the world with the "worst", so she wouldn't let us go and risk our lives.

Ignoring the whispers of other cadres on the road, the man in white carrying Oreski walked to the throne in the center.

"My Queen."

Placing the disheveled organization cadre Oreski whom he had just rescued on the ground, the red-haired man in pure white tights half-knelt and offered his loyalty to the petite figure on the throne.

"Mission accomplished, fortunately I have fulfilled my mission!"

"Blue, you bastard, why... Um~ Um~" The figure lying on the throne like a sofa twisted her slender body. The slender woman who woke up from her sleep rubbed her sleepy eyes, stretched her waist and yawned while listening to the report of her subordinates.

"Phantom—you did well."

The blonde, clad in a tight black dress, rubbed her tear-stained eyes, crossed her legs, smiled, and sat on the throne, emitting a deadly, alluring charm. This "evil queen," seemingly straight out of a fairytale, was none other than the head of the Phantom Empire—the Phantom Queen.

"No, it's an honor to be of use to the Queen."

The Phantom, who looked like a cold-blooded killer in the movies, would only smile slightly when he heard the Queen's praise. As for the seriously injured soldier next to him who could only lie down and witness the whole process, he was almost blinded by the flash of affection between the master and servant.

"The destroyer of worlds, Kamen Rider Decade." After signaling for the other man to be taken away for treatment, the Queen casually tapped her staff and asked Phantom, "Tell me, Phantom, what do you think of him?"

Not long ago, an old man came to the Phantom Queen to tell her about the "Masked Rider" from another world and explained the pros and cons to her. Although she still despised him from the bottom of her heart, the Phantom Queen, who was cautious in advance, sent her capable subordinate "Phantom" to spy on the information. As expected, she found the so-called Kamen Rider in the Hill of Light.

The destroyer of the world... Will your existence help me bring the "worst" to this world and destroy all the boring things like "happiness" in people's hearts?

"Yes!" Phantom immediately recounted to the Queen how he witnessed his allies' unwavering presence in times of trouble. "Although he attacked Oreski, he also conspired with his accomplices to steal the Princess Angel's transformation device!"

"And I saw that person get into a fierce conflict with the cute angel who arrived! There's no doubt that he's not from Pretty Cure and Azure's side."

The powerful fighting power unleashed by Ash left a deep impression on the Phantom Queen's confidant. Although he believed that he would not lose to the opponent if he was serious, he was not stupid enough to add more enemies to himself now that the situation was still unclear.

"If what that suspicious man described is true, then this demon who destroyed the world should be able to form a partnership with us and defeat those Pretty Cure girls who are getting in the way!"

After all, if you want to destroy the world, we will also bring the "worst" misfortune to this world. You see, we have the same goal!

"Such a powerful being should also serve under the Queen."

"Interesting~" The Phantom Queen, who was very happy after hearing the Phantom's report, summoned a mirror and used her own power to reflect the image of the knight in the mirror.

Decade, the Destroyer of Worlds? Today, this Queen wants to see for herself who you are.

When the queen saw in the mirror that the Striped Knight had undone his transformation, revealing Ash's true appearance, the smile that had been on her face gradually faded, and it stiffened into an atmosphere of extreme anger.

"unnecessary."

The originally beautiful voice was now completely enveloped in an extremely cruel coldness.

"Huh?" Even Phantom, who always followed the Queen's lead, was stunned when faced with the Queen's sudden change of attitude.

"This kind of thing only has handsome men—I hate it! I don't need it!"

I can feel it, I can feel the scent of "Love" from Pretty Cure on him!

"I hate him. I'm going to beat this annoying guy down just like I beat Pretty Cure!"

Looking at Ash's figure in the mirror, the more she looked, the more he looked like someone with a handsome side similar to hers. An extremely painful jealousy surged from the heart of the Phantom Queen.

Here we go again? Another person that Pretty Cure likes, right? Hehe, people always end up repeating the same tragedy, right?

Why are you liked by Pretty Cure? This feeling... do you like them all the same? You bastard——why, on what basis——

Why do you just——!

Witnessing this moment, recalling the past, anger, sadness, resentment, jealousy, just looking at this man for a moment gave rise to countless negative emotions, even transforming into a physical dark tornado that blew away everything around the queen, preventing anyone from getting close.

"Why can someone like you also have love?"

Gazing at Ash's back in the mirror, the Phantom Queen shed tears of jealousy.

Chapter 16: There Are Too Many Pretty Cure

Let’s not talk about the ancient woman who was so resentful that she almost summoned a negative energy monster. Let’s first turn the camera to Ash who is being spied on.

"It's really troublesome."

Every time he goes to a new world and says goodbye to the past, there are always some unavoidable troubles that he has to face and constantly bothers Ash - for example, the question of where to live this time and today.

I rented a place with Mana and her friends, but after a few days, I became pregnant after moving in with her. I was a good store manager with Lily and her friends, so there was no need to worry. After the secret base that Miyuki and her friends had secretly built was blown up, Ash moved from one girl to another, starting a "dokidoki" life together...

"It's such a hassle to find a place to stay now." "How about sleeping in a tree like in the last life?" No, how should I put it? I didn't feel that way before, but now... people have a sense of shame.

So, should I find another Pretty Cure and stay at her house? Speaking of which, Ikuyo-san's cooking is so delicious. I wonder if she'll miss me after I leave...

"Ah, that's not right." Thinking back to what he had done to the two Pretty Cure girls he had met since arriving in this world, even Ash, who always had the "shameless" buff, felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had just beaten up your people, stolen your transformation device, and then ate your food. This kind of thing seemed...

Well, it seems Decade has done all these bad things, so that means I can do it too...

Forget it, I'd better observe what the other Pretty Cure girls are like and see if there are enough opportunities to download them.

"There can't be only these two, there must be other Pretty Cure in this world."

"Everyone, welcome to today's 'Pretty Cure Weekly' program desu - I am the host, Miyo Masuko, who will be reporting to you continuously!" Just as Ash was in an inexplicable dilemma, the key words spoken by the unusually enthusiastic host on the TV nearby immediately caught Ash's attention.

Wait, she said that the Pretty Cure show—not only is Precure in this world not being kept secret, but it's actually getting to the point where a TV crew is filming it!?

Ash was shocked and looked over there, his attention focused on the TV that was still playing behind the window.

"I want to convey this to everyone—I want to convey this to everyone!" Ash expressionlessly skipped the awkward opening remarks and mentally fast-forwarded to the part where the host was actually talking about Pretty Cure.

"Today, Pretty Cures around the world are still fighting against the Phantom Empire and purifying the evil beasts!"

Watching the battle moments of dozens of Pretty Cures dressed in different regional styles on the TV screen being cut into a MAD trailer-like format, coupled with the passionate BGM, which made people's blood boil, Ash, contrary to his usual behavior, widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Wait—wait wait wait wait!"

There seem to be dozens of Pretty Cures in this video already, and the number is still growing... Are the Pretty Cures in this world actually mass-produced?! I was wondering why their outfits are so identical!

Not only does this echo my previous suggestion of a card-based Pretty Cure, but now even the Precure studio is following the same pattern as the Knight's Shed, with color-changing suits and all those Precure-themed cutouts. Is this just a ploy to boost toy sales?!

"Brother Dai, you deserve to die!!!"

With his eyes wide open to the point of almost bursting with bloodshot, Ash was shocked and inexplicably annoyed. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and continued reading.

"Calm down, wait for her to finish..."

I'm considering whether to demolish the TV station.

Then, more different Precures appeared: a Pretty Cures with bun hair and cheongsams, a Pretty Cures dressed in denim, a Pretty Cures who drank black tea mid-fight, a Pretty Cures who wore super long skirts and materialized giant baguettes for purification (physical), and a brown-skinned Pretty Cures who wielded the power of calculators... Isn't this a collection of stereotypes from all over the world?!

"These angel girls of different nationalities and races are still fighting for our safety and the safety of the Earth! And among them, the most worth looking forward to are the Precures from Neon Hill——"

As the host expressed his sincere gratitude, Ash finally figured out what this worldview was all about.

Unlike the classic tropes of other worlds, where villainous organizations secretly wreak havoc while anonymous heroes quietly protect the well-being of humanity, and unlike the Ultraman world where stinking aliens occasionally come to Earth to beg for food, this world's "Phantom Empire," intent on dragging the entire Earth into a "worst" abyss of misfortune, declares war on every nation and openly invades the world.

When conventional human means are completely useless against the "power of darkness", different pretty girls of light appear in various countries to protect their world from the darkness.

"This is more like the plot of American comics and superheroes than Pretty Cure!" Ash, who had calmed down a little, commented. "Tsk, but there are so many Pretty Cure on Earth, this kind of thing-"

What is this, a Guangmei version of the legendary war?!

If we convert it to the same world view, different countries have their own Kamen Rider/Super Sentai/Ultraman to protect the people of that country... Oh no, this seems a bit exciting!

"No, I should be the one who hates this kind of operation—!"

Suddenly, Ash, as if sensing something, put his hand on his shoulder, maintaining this mysterious and beautiful gesture with only a hint of evil in his eyes, and suddenly spoke in a deep voice towards the back.

"Phantom Empire, you are the ones spying on me!"

“…”

Ash turned around and shouted, pointing to the empty street corner behind him, feeling a little embarrassed.

It's strange. I clearly felt like I was being watched.

"Wow, wow, wow!" At the street corner that Ash was pointing to, a woman wearing glasses stumbled out screaming, obviously frightened by his sudden turn around.

No, there really is someone—wait, isn’t this woman?

That female host on TV?

Just as Ash was about to say something, all the crew members, including those setting up the broadcasting equipment at the back, looked at him with stars in their eyes and came towards him with their guns and cannons like hounds smelling meat.

Chapter 17 Ash on TV

"Everyone, look!"

Although she was still trembling, the dedicated female reporter continued to broadcast the event to the camera of the guy behind her who was carrying the camera equipment.

"We found it!"

The dedicated host and reporter named "Miyako Masuko" waved her hand and turned the camera to the person next to her, that is, Ash himself.

"This is the hero who only appeared on TV!"

"Masked Knight Decade (Emperor) Desu!"

Ash, who had his hands in his pockets preparing to do something, was speechless for a moment when he heard her excitedly drawling out her name.

Could it be a fan?

"Camera crew, hurry up, hurry up!"

As fierce as a certain female host who was very brave in collecting materials on the spot, or even braver, the cameraman carried the oversized equipment by himself, adjusted the focus with excitement on his face, and almost put the shrinking "gun barrel" on the helpless face of Ash to continue filming.
