Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Chapter 117: Ash! You are so despicable now!

"Are you okay?"

The gentle and slightly low magnetic voice immediately hit Snow White's strike zone. This charming and seductive voice made her forget her subsequent complaints about bumping into her own people and Iona's surprised expression.

"Thank...thank you."

Pulling that gentle hand to stand up again, Snow White couldn't help but feel touched. Such polite and gentlemanly behavior matched with a charming voice, isn't this exactly the standard of the Prince Charming in her dreams! On the other hand, that Ash who always surrounded them——

"Ah... If that fickle Ash could be half as gentle as this prince-like gentleman, this princess wouldn't be unwilling to date him."

"Hime-chan..." Iona behind her whispered a reminder, but Snow White, who was lost in delusion, never noticed until the devilish chuckle sounded in her ears again.

"That's right."

What's wrong...ah!

Gradually remembering where she had heard the other person's voice, Snow White raised her head with gritted teeth, and looked up to see Ash squatting in front of her with a kind smile on his face.

I'd been stuck in that depressing place for so long with no progress, so I wanted to get out and breathe some fresh air. And then... wow~ isn't this the little princess? She's so awful after not seeing her for a few days?

"Yes, I am the Ash you mentioned who gets bored easily."

As if unaware of the vacant expressions on Iona and Shirayuki's faces, who were hesitant to speak, the man tugged at the collar of his purple vest, rubbing his chin as he began to calculate. "It seems you still have a lot of opinions about me. Do you think I should find a new Pretty Cure right away?"

"No, it's not like that..." The girl who was caught in the act was now too late to retreat in front of Ash. Her mouth was stuck and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Compared to the time before when she just couldn't talk to Iona, the real embarrassment that made Shirayuki even more uncomfortable now was - Ah, someone come! A Kamen Rider other than Decade, please save me!

"And I heard you say something about a date, even though I'm usually indifferent." Ash, always taking advantage of the moment, jumped in. "But didn't the God rule that you Pretty Cures aren't allowed to date? Are you rebelling against God?"

"Rules are dead, but people are alive!" Thinking of the love at first sight that had made her instantly infatuated, the girl, with an unfading blush, wished she could find a hole to crawl into, and shouted, "Even though the God said it was to avoid affecting herself and others, but before I became a Pretty Cure, I was also a girl!"

Originally I had no objection to this rule, but now... I seem to have someone I want to like as well... Who is it?

"Not bad." To the girl's surprise, Ash actually agreed with her. She'd thought he was mocking their will. "You've always been the one fighting to protect this world. Everything you have belongs to you. Don't let any god influence your true feelings."

"Listen carefully, your heart belongs only to you, and the gods don't want it."

The greatest power of Pretty Cure is clearly love. Why did he say, "Precure is not allowed to fall in love?" Ha! What does a mere god know about Pretty Cure~!

"oh oh!"

The girl, who was suddenly taught such a serious lesson, nodded repeatedly in agreement. She felt that the wicked knight in front of her who was so reckless and liked to make fun of them... didn't seem so annoying in her eyes anymore?

"Ash." They reserved a special time for their long-awaited reunion. Taking advantage of Shirayuki's increasingly delicate mood, Iona took the initiative to speak with Ash. "If you want to express your opinion... Ash was the one who wronged us first, so it's only natural for you to have some opinions, right?"

"I never realized you were so eloquent before, huh?"

He chuckled lightly, seemingly not caring much about the accusations in the girl's words, but he didn't refute them either.

The girl clenched her fingers holding the ingredients. She had many questions she wanted to ask now, whether it was about the sudden jump and counter-shot, or things related to Pretty Cure, or about Ash himself that Iona wanted to know. The girl's heart now was like a basket of questions in "100,000 Whys".

"What's up, Fuchun? You seem to have missed me a lot. Is there anything you want to say?"

"Sigh..." Iona sighed deeply at her previous self who had been unnecessarily worried about Ash. "In the name of that Earth God, I really hate this name."

"What have you been doing lately, Ash?"

However, after a series of intense inner struggles, the first question she asked was still a question that was neither too serious nor too indifferent, but just out of concern for Ash.

"As for me, I'm enjoying being surrounded by Pretty Cure from all over the world~"

Although it was all cold and cold, like a morgue, no one said a word to each other.

Ash, be confident!

"Isn't this really just getting tired of the old and loving the new?"

As soon as these words were spoken, complaints mixed with boos came from Snow White.

As for Iona, her expression had calmed down and she said she was not very surprised by the development of this matter.

Regarding the fact that Ash accepted the Phantom Queen's suggestion and defected to the other side, the girl tried to put herself in Ash's perspective.

"Are you trying to bribe me with these girls as a reward? This is an insult to me!"

I wanted to yell at her for this, but the Phantom Queen was giving me too much.

Putting herself in the girl's perspective, she thought of Ash, whose XP was different from that of an ordinary person and whose love for "Pretty Cure" was considered a perversion. The girl was not surprised by his decision.

However, at this moment, the girl thought that if he was really "enjoying" the family happiness in the gentle land of Precure, she could not help but scold him angrily.

"Ash!"

"Now you are, despicable!"

When we first met, I thought you were some kind of completely self-centered, unfathomable, cruel demon... Now it seems that I was wrong, but not too wrong.

If you keep going like this, one day you'll be suffocated to death by a pile of women! Just wait, retribution will surely come.

"Hahahahaha——!!!"

Ash responded to Iona's adorable glare with a hearty laugh.

Chapter 118 Iona: Sister? Sold it.

Facing the man who had actually "betrayed" her, Iona's emotions were naturally extremely complicated. But no matter whether Ash was good or bad before that, she had an answer that only Ash knew and she was eager to verify it with him.

"Ash, my sister—"

"Don't worry, Fuchun." Ash was completely unprepared for Iona's immediate questioning about Hikawa Marina. "Your sister is still sleeping peacefully. I'm still trying to figure out what kiss I should use to wake this dark, sleeping beauty."

"Your worries are unnecessary. If the Phantom Queen says I can choose any of them, then that means all the Pretty Cures there are mine! Since they're all mine, you can rest assured." He slapped his chest in front of the girl, making a convincing thud. "As long as I'm here, neither that Phantom nor Oreski will let these filthy men touch a single hair on your sister!"

What do you think? When you are not causing trouble, your brother Ash is not bad at being a flower protector!

"The more you say that, the more worried I get. I think if someone really wants something bad for my sister, it definitely won't be anyone else...so who are you talking about her sister in front of her younger sister?"

"I'm just telling the truth based on the actual situation on the scene."

She didn't even have the mood to correct the annoying nickname. Iona was so loud and out of control that she almost spitted all over Ash's face. But miraculously, after hearing him say that, the girl's vague uneasiness and the guilt for not saving her sister before actually calmed down for a moment.

By the way, if we want to rescue my sister, as long as Ash also cares about her and "likes" her like he does us, then everything else will fall into place! Hmm... Considering Ash's personality, this kind of thing is indeed possible - it's really possible!

"Actually, if you really want to be with my sister... I don't object."

"Iona-san?!" Not only Shirayuki, who was beside him, was shocked by the "selling sister" act, but also Ash himself, who had been so flirtatious earlier, was shocked. God, the people he liked were actually Mana, Rei, Miyuki, and Rikka... Okay, it was a bit too much, but after all, he couldn't possibly be so perverted as to touch someone who was still sealed and slumbering, right? He wasn't this perverted even when he first arrived in the Heartbeat World!

"As long as Marina-nee has no objection, I will..."

"Alright, alright, that's all Iona wants to know." To prevent the topic from going off the rails and becoming irreversible, Ash took the initiative to speak. "Next, it's my turn—"

Ash calmed himself down and suddenly called out another name with a serious expression.

"Snow White."

"Yes - yes!" The blue-haired girl, whose name was suddenly called, had a nervous expression on her face and stood up straight instinctively, just like a soldier who was called out after making a mistake, and began to wait for Ash's punishment with some fear.

"I've talked to you about exercise before, haven't I?" Ash's eyes narrowed as he spoke, a subtle angle that would have intimidated the girl. "I can see you haven't been practicing these days, so you've slacked off, right?"

"I..." The girl, who had never expected that the other party would see through her, immediately panicked, but then she reacted - you have obviously turned into a villain, why are you still concerned about my exercise progress!

"Practice, training, practice - in short, this is something that requires perseverance. If you slack off for one day, you will need three more days of training to get back to your original level." As Iona nodded in agreement, Ash approached with an aggressive aura and forced all of Snow White's protests back into his mouth.

"Who told me to watch her become Pretty Cure?"

"This--" The girl's mind was suddenly in turmoil when the other party dug up her past shameful behavior. She held her red and dizzy head in her hands and was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Do you think my method is useless and want to waste my original results?"

"No, no! That's not the case. I was just being lazy. I promise, I will work harder from now on and won't be lazy again—"

The closer Ash got, the weaker the girl's momentum became. He kept getting closer until Snow White was about to cry out of her eyes. Suddenly, Ash stepped back and smiled.

"Okay, that's it."

The "natural war maniac" side of him who always picked fights without reason, just to make himself feel good and didn't care about the various problems it caused, has been gradually corrected by the girls who "fought one after another". Now Ash no longer needs this kind of bad relationship that forces himself and others.

"If you have this intention, of course I am willing to believe you."

"After all, we're just out for fun this time, so there's no need to keep bringing up such disappointing things~"

But what he got in return is indeed the present: Ash always likes to tease them for no reason just to see their funny reactions. The result of such an exchange, although it saves the later ones from the "physical pain", it doubles their "mental pain". After comparing the results, it is really hard to say who is better and who is worse.

But no matter what Ash said or thought, there were only two words in the eyes of Snow White and Iona who was watching the whole process.

I do not believe.

"There's no need to look at me with such vigilance. The truth is often not as complicated as you think."

To be honest, breaking the seals of Pretty Cure and doing good deeds like that is a bit of a stretch for me. So now I just want to get some fresh air.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Even though Ash tried his best to appear harmless, the result that made him shrug helplessly was that the more he said it, the more the two girls opposite him with wary eyes did not believe him.

"There's no conspiracy, no tricks, I'm just out for some fun."

Play?

Who to play?

Are you kidding us? Just say whatever you want, and we’ll see whether we believe it or not!

"trust me."

However, no matter whether Xiaoji and Iona, who had subtle looks in their eyes, believed it or not, Ash had already ignored their objections and walked around behind them very naturally, and joined their shopping group while others were already taking out their phones to call 110 as a vigilant look.

"After all, belief doesn't require a reason, does it?"

Chapter 119: The Sun Rises from the West, Ash is Treating Me (Part 2)

"Pretty Cure vs. the Phantom Empire. I thought we were still enemies?"

At first, they were enemies who were completely opposed to each other and difficult to communicate with. Then, they gradually provided us with help and became "friends" who were both enemies and friends. Now, they easily jumped ship with a word from the Phantom Queen.

So is it happening again now? Because you've been through it so many times before, you can easily jump back into it?

"Who says that if we are enemies, we can't play together?"

You know, based on past experience, such contact is often the starting point for both parties to truly get to know each other.

"Um...Ash!" The girl asked again, mustering her courage as she looked at the towering man approaching her. "Are you coming out this time to find us? If not, what's your reason?"

"Didn't I say that?"

The man's broad palm slapped the girl's soft back hard, making a crisp sound. The ruthless impact almost knocked her to the ground.

"I just came out to have fun."

Just here to play... This answer is really hard to satisfy the two Pretty Cure girls who are full of questions.

"Are you trying to say that what happened between us was just a joke?"

If this is true, it would explain many of the things you don't understand.

"If that's what you think." In response to the girl's aggressive questioning, Ash simply spread his hands out as if it had nothing to do with him. "You're not children anymore. It's time for you to learn to recognize the right thing for yourselves."

"What? You're saying something I can't understand..."

You don't want to explain but you don't make it clear. Aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand you? Ah, it seems that Hui still deeply misunderstands Ash.

Seeing that Ash clearly had no intention of responding to their question about the "goal" of everything they did, the girl had no choice but to change the subject.

"So... do you still want to continue finding your own unique pleasure from our Pretty Cure?"

"Of course, I don't miss it for a moment."

"Then..." Snow White, feeling a little down, muttered softly as she touched her rumbling stomach. "If you're going to use us as your targets, at least treat us to something delicious."

I was clearly cooperating with Yuko to help you act, but in the end I didn't get anything in return and you even made fun of me... huh?

The lonely and melancholy girl suddenly felt that the direction in front of her had changed, and even her hand was wrapped by another larger palm without her knowing when.

"Wait, wait!" The girl, having realized she was being dragged along, instinctively tried to break free. However, with her cheeks flushed, her resistance in Ash's grasp was no stronger than that of a baby in swaddling clothes. "W-What happened? It's so sudden!"

"Ash you——"
