Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

It’s so itchy, something is about to come out!

"Rao~Rao——ah, why is it you! A-choo!" Ribbon, whose nose was tickled and felt comfortable, opened her eyes and found that it was Ash's finger that tickled her nose. But it was too late to react whether she was frightened or surprised. As she sneezed, two cards of light flew out from behind her.

"Hey~ Is that so? It can be used even in daily life, which is more practical than Decade's." Ash took the two cards that flew out and looked at the translucent cards that could be combined to form a maid outfit that would increase his XP. Knowing that they could use the Light Card to change into new clothes, he threw it to Snow White.

"But what's the use of collecting this?"

"It's fun in itself to be able to wear different beautiful clothes, but none of the forms you can transform into are so powerful... How many forms does Kamen Rider have?" Snow White hurriedly caught the Light Card and took out a card collection book. She put the two cards into the newest card slot, and when she counted them and found that her collection was almost full, the girl's face immediately showed visible joy.

"As for what you're asking about, these Light Cards can not only be used to transform into various beautiful clothes, but they're also rewards for us Pretty Cure girls for defending the world!"

"Once you have collected the entire album, you can borrow the power of the gods to grant a wish!"

The most important thing is that my collection will be full soon! If I could make a wish this time, what would it be? Maybe endless sweets or a date with a handsome prince... Ah, I can't be too selfish. The most important wish is of course to save the people of the Blue Sky Kingdom and my father, the Queen Mother!

"Hey, that's interesting." Ash raised his eyebrows and looked quite interested. He didn't expect that the seemingly useless God could be useful in this aspect.

If other people knew about this straightforward request, then Shirou might not be organizing a knight battle, but a Pretty Cure competition... Well, a murderer and a black police officer becoming Pretty Cure doesn't sound like a childhood ruiner, but it's a bit too extreme.

However, collecting items to fulfill wishes is indeed a very popular development. Not to mention X-Dragon Ball, the collection of the Ranger Keys of the 35 legendary teams can make any wish come true. The collection of the Eye Souls of Great Men can also make wishes come true... It's just that for some reason, these wishes often cannot be realized in the end.

"Can we offer the opportunity to grant wishes as an employee benefit?" Ash recalled a cartoon he'd enjoyed watching as a child. "Magical girls offer wishes as a pre-sale incentive, but you offer it as a year-end performance bonus."

"Well... although it may seem a bit unkind on the surface, at least being a Pretty Cure doesn't mean you have to sell your soul to the devil."

Now that I'm in the Transformation Hero series and can even come to Pretty Cure, why haven't I found the magical girl worldview?... What a shame, I really want to see and correct the magical girls in the real world~

But since "Ash" has appeared in other worlds...could there really be an Ash who passed through the magical girl world...?

I don't think it's impossible.

"As for wishes." Ash glanced over and saw that the card book was about to be completed. "Don't worry about what wishes you will make. I'm not so low as to rob little girls."

Besides, if the wish isn't fulfilled by one's own hands, then it's meaningless if one hasn't gone through the process in between...right?

Ash suddenly thought of something and quickly called the system to help him look for it. He was relieved after finding that the treasure thief was not nearby.

"As for wishes... I just need to eat enough every day, so I'll give it to Kei and Hime-chan."

"My mother has always been in poor health. I want to use my wish to make her healthy again!"

"As for me, I want the Blue Sky Kingdom to be revived... Why is there only one wish? We collected them together, but I only get one. It's totally unfair! If there were three wishes, it would be better if Kei, Yuuko, and I could each make one!"

"It's okay." Hui, who showed no regrets, stepped forward to comfort her. "Just give it to Hime-chan this time. We can collect it again next time."

Silently noting Hui's request to his mother, even Ash smiled when he saw that not only did they not fight for such a huge benefit as a wish, but they were humble to each other.

This is the Pretty Cure I want to see. She's becoming more and more reasonable, and she almost doesn't need me anymore.

Oh no, there is one last person missing...

Suddenly he thought of the "rest" that the system had previously instructed him to do, as well as the current conflict between Snow White and Iona. Although he had agreed not to interfere, Ash couldn't help but associate it with the past.

Um....

I have a great idea!

"Hehe, having friends like you, I really am..." Snow White, who was moved by this friendship, suddenly realized something. There are only three Pretty Cures appearing in the Hill of Light now!

Where's Hikawa Iona? Could it be that she doesn't want to see me... But, with the help of my friends, I was able to break free from my weakness and become strong... And that—Iona, though powerful, is alone...

Wouldn't she feel scared and lonely?

When the frightened girl raised her head again, she saw the same thought in Ash's eyes as he looked at her.

Chapter 95: Ash's Conversation with God

"Pretty Cure Stardust Shoot!"

The girl, with pentagram light emitting from her hands, purified the evil beast in front of her completely in one breath, but finally she was exhausted and knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

It must be admitted that if it's just one person...it's really impossible to have stronger cooperation than two or three people.

"Destiny!" Sunglasses, worried about his partner, hurried over. "You've really outperformed this time, but using your skills so frequently is straining your stamina! Get some rest!"

"It's okay!" Wiping the sweat from her forehead, the girl felt the pain emanating from every part of her body, but she felt a fire burning fiercely in her heart. "I can still fight! I can still keep fighting!"

"Do you think so?"

"Who?" The sudden voice coming from behind made Iona, who was on full alert, turn around quickly. Her vigilant eyes widened in shock at the figure that came into view, and then gradually turned into an angry look.

"Pretty Cure Hunter....Phantom!"

Gritting her teeth, she recited the name of her former rival, her sweat-soaked fists clenching in her hands, making a crackling sound.

There was no need to describe the hatred she felt for having her loved ones snatched away from him in front of her. If her feelings towards Snow White were complicated, as she didn't know whether to accept or hate her, then her feelings towards the person in front of her were pure hatred!

"That's perfect, let me -"

There was no need to say anything more. The girl with red eyes moved her feet and immediately turned into a high-speed phantom, rushing towards the red-haired man in front of her like a bullet.

"You bastard!"

What made Iona even angrier was that the man who had clearly seen her attack not only did not dodge or evade, but instead stood there motionless with his contempt for her.

Do you underestimate me? Okay, this time I'll show you my full strength!

In her rage, the girl's knife-hand that she swung towards the phantom was also tinged with a sharp light!

"Knock him down here!"

Just as the girl was about to behead her, the phantom's hand finally moved! He swung his hand and suddenly pulled something up from under his feet. A crystal mirror appeared out of thin air before him, and the angel of fate, who had rushed towards him with a roar, plunged into the mirror and disappeared.

After doing all this, the phantom lifted his collar and stepped into the mirror leading to a certain world.

All of this was noticed by Hui and his group who had rushed here but had no time to do anything.

"Assholes!" Having arrived just one step too late, and having to watch helplessly as Iona was taken away, Kei angrily punched the ground, creating a crater. "They actually—they're targeting Iona!"

"I don't even need to guess, I can come up with this answer by process of elimination."

"Okay..." Yuko pulled Ash's belt with a helpless look on her face, asking him to say less so as not to irritate others.

Besides, since you guessed it, why don’t you say it?

"I'll go ask God for a solution. God should be able to tell me where Iona went!"

"Do you know where the Blue God is?"

"Well, in a very beautiful, sparkling world with lots of mirrors."

Ash tapped the Dragon Knight symbol on his forehead and asked about the target's location. Seeing that Hui had already set off in a hurry, he could only temporarily pull Yuko and Snow White who were still in front of him to come to him.

"What's wrong now, Iona——"

"Don't worry, I've asked Long to take care of this part. I know what's going on." After patting his chest to reassure them, Ash gave them a serious and earnest word. "Listen carefully, what's going to happen next—"

"There are some things I want you to cooperate with me on."

--------

"That's it, then."

Apart from the "plan" he mentioned to Snow White and the others at the end, Ash told the god his purpose and the current situation with "full sincerity".

After all, he just wanted to "talk" with someone this time. He was not a genius who would always make things tense and explosive.

After taking a sip of the tea brought by the trembling Ribbon next to him, Ash took out the powdered sugar he brought with him and added it in spoonful by spoonful in front of the god whose eyes began to twitch.

"As their immediate superior, I want to know what you are going to do?"

Faced with the actually rude questioning, although Lan Shen wanted to ask him to leave, he still answered seriously.

"I know Iona will be taken there... Now, of course, I have to find a way to help them rescue Iona," he added. "However, this could also be a plot by the other party, to lure the Happiness Charge Pretty Cure into their trap. In that case..."

"What's the matter?" Ash put down the bitterly sweet cup of tea in his hand after hearing this answer. "Aren't you going yourself?"

It seemed that he was not interested in Blue God's plan, but cared more about other rational things.

"I've given all my strength to Pretty Cure. I don't have any fighting power myself. Moreover, if I go and confront her... it will only anger her and make things worse."

Shaking his head, the Blue God rested his hands on his forehead and spoke in a low voice, looking very sad and regretful.

Resisting his curiosity about whether there was some kind of "affair" between him and the Phantom Queen, Wuyan took a sip of the super sweet tea. Although Ash could tell from his tone that he wanted to do his best to help, it was just...

Why is he so unhappy?

Oh, it should be the captains and commanders of the neighboring shed. Unless they are actually villains, they would not say such words no matter how desperate the situation is, right?

"So, in the final analysis, you're just going to watch?"

"I'm not just watching. I'm just doing what I can..." Faced with Ash's aggressive attitude, the Blue God's brow furrowed even deeper, seemingly in agony as he slowly explained. "Besides, if I carelessly use my limited remaining power, the hope I've managed to maintain might dissipate... I might even lose to the Phantom Empire, or even be captured."

"Something worse than failure will happen to this planet."

Is it Hui and the others?

Or the entire Earth and the future that exists on it?

Regarding this choice, Blue God, the God of Earth, shook his head regretfully and chose the latter with great sadness.

Chapter 96: Ash's rage, the moment of explosion

"The God of Earth... well, I wasn't thinking of a good person. You're not overestimating yourself, are you?"

Shaking the half-full teacup in his hand, Ash's suspicious eyes kept scanning the man in front of him who was shaking his head at him.

"I am a god, I won't lie about this."

However, Ash observed carefully and did not find any sign of lying on his face, so he had to give up.

Lan Shen himself knows it.

If this really happened, although he knew that the Phantom Queen was "reluctant" to kill him, if he was caught by the other party, he thought that the other party would be happy to use various means to restrain him. At that time, he would not only be unable to help the Pretty Cure, but would also completely lose contact with the Earth.

And if he could only watch the fall of the earth, that feeling would be the "ultimate insult" to a god of the earth like Lan Shen.

"So, no matter what, I can't just appear in front of the Phantom Empire."

The god, speaking in an extremely sincere tone, bowed his head to Ash, the visitor from another world.

"..."

Ash, who was sitting with his legs crossed, didn't say much about the gods. The main reason was that now that he had become a serious person, he could no longer use unreasonable arguments to refute the other party.

But what is worth asking now is, is this guy in front of me who calls himself "Blue God" and is the will of the earth a qualified god?

If anything, he's doing pretty good by empowering the Pretty Cure, rather than going to the extremes of the Earth Will next door, which is preparing to cleanse the surface and rebuild the Earth. It's not that Ash is doing a bad job, it's just...

I can't explain why, but apart from the "melancholy" of this guy like the protagonist in a youth-themed novel, I always feel that I dislike him in some way.

This is not right. I am not racist.

It's not like Ash hasn't seen gods from other worlds, such as the good gods who are the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty and bow to all existence in the world, the evil gods who are as cruel and vicious as a certain sewer vendor, or the gods who are high above and outside the three realms and not in the five elements - there are actually quite a lot of types of gods.

Speaking of the existence of gods, Ash thought of the "God" who created human beings.

When they first met, he was furious because he was a human being but not created by him, and almost killed Ash. Fortunately, Ash showed him his own potential and he got the opportunity to show mercy to him.

Then he even let the smooth-talking Ash infiltrate his team naturally, and until the very end when he was leaving, he showed the reluctance of a god... Well, how should I put it, although it is said that serving the king is like serving a tiger is a very tiring experience, Ash still felt that the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

To repeat, it's not like Ash hasn't seen gods before. He's seen plenty of them, whether they were true gods or just beings called gods.

But even so, the god in front of him still let him use a knife to pull his butt - he opened a big eye.

"First and foremost, let's be clear: none of the Pretty Cure are cowards who would abandon their companions and run away." Ash put down his empty teacup, his fingers swishing around the rim. "Well, I'd like to know, if their plan to encircle and attack reinforcements succeeds this time, what are you going to do?"

"I will try to use my words to make the Phantom Queen give up and let them go—"

"If persuasion worked, this war between happiness and misfortune would have ended long ago. You can't convince her, at least not right now. You know that very well." Seeing the Blue God's silence, which was pierced by his words, Ash took a step forward and continued, "Let's be practical. What exactly do you plan to do?"

Ash, who originally just wanted to mock the other party, had not yet finished speaking when he got a reply from the other party that made his eyes widen.

"In that case, I'll have to ask other Pretty Cure for help."

It would be a great loss if a Pretty Cure like Cure Lovely, who possessed a love powerful enough to save the world, failed, but... there was nothing we could do. It was unfortunate, but this was the war with the Phantom Empire.

Since it was already a loss, he couldn't pay any more.
