Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

--------

"Ah, you're the real Mr. Ash, right?" Ash was greeted by a hostess with the same hair color as Kei. She exuded a warm aura as she prepared tea for Ash, a guest brought by her daughter. "My daughter has someone who keeps whispering your name, always asking for your approval."

“Mom, why do you know about this?!”

She had made her daughter blush directly, and the lady smiled as she observed the expression on Ash's face after he learned about it.

"Really? I'm flattered that you care this much. Thank you for letting me know, Madam..."

Ash made a secret decision in his heart, because this was the second or third time that Pretty Cure invited him to his home, so this time Ash was not as reserved as before. However, his polite look when facing his mother made Ainoe dumbfounded.

I was worried that I was too impulsive in letting Ash meet his mother... He seemed so calm and polite, was he really Ash?

"Are you thinking of something utterly disrespectful?" Ash glanced at the girl, who quickly shook her hands in denial. The girl was stunned by Ash's impeccable tea ceremony skills. "Don't worry, I will respect those who deserve respect."

This was the second time he had been treated so warmly. The woman who could cultivate a heart worthy of becoming a Pretty Cure, whether it was Miss Ikuyo or the person smiling at him, was the kind of mother who was so gentle that Char could instantly recognize her as his mother, and whose kindness and strength were overflowing.

Speaking of Ms. Ikuyo...I did that to her daughter, and yet she forgave me without even an apology. It's really shameful.

"Hehe~" The hostess, who seemed to be being praised, burst into crisp laughter. "Don't be so polite, I'm Aino Kaori, just call me Kaori."

"Gentleman Ash."

Gentleman....was it really the same person that my mother and I saw?

Although he was shocked at first that his daughter quietly brought home a handsome boy who was obviously much older than her, he felt relieved after secretly observing him for a while.

Of course, as a mother, she could see at a glance the uneasiness her daughter showed between her and him, and she couldn't help but sigh that Hui had reached such an age.

"Keiko is amazing, even more amazing than your mother was back then." Kaori pulled her daughter over and whispered to her with a smile. "Mom, I thought it would definitely be Seiji, but it turns out Kei actually prefers older guys?"

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Kei, who didn't know how to talk about Seiji, was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Seiji has been very kind to me since I was a child, but I always thought of him as a brother!"

"Then you won't refute what happened to this Mr. Ash, right? It's really bold of you to bring your boyfriend home to live together now."

"mom!"

Hui, who had not expected that her own mother would tease her to such an extent, was talking incoherently and "acting like a spoiled child" with her fists twirling around in her wheel. Ash, who was standing beside her, finally put down his teacup and began to explain for her.

"That's definitely a misunderstanding, Ms. Kaori." Ash, who was struggling to find an adjective to describe this, suddenly had an idea. "We are... right!"

"My relationship with her is that I'm a Kamen Rider who passed by the crossroads of her life."

It doesn’t matter if I can’t remember it.

"Well then, Mr. Ash."

Aino Kaori pulled out a chair and came in front of Ash, bowed solemnly to him and asked for help.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Be her Kamen Rider."

Chapter 150: Ya Zhenggu

"Mei, doesn't your mother know about me?"

Ash, who was whispering to Ainoe, was naturally referring to the fact that he had not concealed his secret identity at all but was not recognized. You have to know that when he walks on the street, he will usually meet ten or even nine children asking for his autograph within three hundred meters, not to mention the people, both men and women, who give him love letters and flirt with him.

His face is completely famous in this world, but while he enjoys the fun of going out, he also has to feel the pain of going out. For example, not long ago, he and another alias of Aino Hui made the headlines in the form of gossip. Originally, he was prepared to be regarded as a sea king who came to lure her daughter by the mother and be given a cold shoulder and an explanation.

As a result, we surprisingly got along very well, didn't we?

"Mom usually focuses on family matters and rarely watches the news."

The girl who was also shielding her face with her hands and whispering explained to Ash, "So Mr. Ash, please don't tell anyone, otherwise I think even someone as gentle as your mother will kick you out."

But if that's the case, there will be more little secrets between Ash and I that only two people know about, right?

"Cough-cough-"

Without having time to continue the conversation with Ash, Hui, upon hearing the familiar cough, immediately returned to Aino Kaori, who was hunched over and trembling, with a worried look on her face.

"Mother?"

Hui carefully patted her mother's shaking back to help her breathe, and felt very sorry for her mother but was powerless to do anything, so she cast a helpless look at Ash.

"It's nothing, just an old problem, cough cough cough——!"

Although she really wanted to tell Hui not to worry, Kaori, who was already weak, was probably frightened by the fact that her daughter suddenly brought back a man. She suddenly felt that breathing became even more difficult, and the words she wanted to comfort Hui were blocked by the stinging breath.

"Sorry, it happened to be when guests were coming... cough!"

I know my body best, and this problem probably won't be easily cured in my lifetime.

"If it's medicine, this is it, right?"

"Thank you! Um...?" After swallowing the pills handed to her, Kaori realized that the person who extended his hand to her was Mr. Ash.

"This medicine has too strong side effects." He gently spun the small bottle in his hand to the label. Although he had never seen this brand before, he could tell the effects just by looking at the ingredients. "While it has a significant effect on the respiratory tract, it also increases the burden on other organs, which is not good."

"Is that so?" Kaori, not quite sure, was stunned in front of the knowledgeable Ash. Then, out of curiosity, she asked, "Could it be that Mr. Ash is actually a doctor?"

With such temperament and dress, I thought Mr. Ash was an adventurer.

"As for the doctor, my medical license was revoked a long time ago for reasons that are incomprehensible to ordinary people." He glanced at the person beside him. "How could we possibly be completely unaware of this?!" He gave a sly, sly smile to the sullen and awkward Kei. "But if Miss Kaori trusts me, I'd be happy to help."

"Ahem, there's no such thing as trust or distrust."

"Can't you?"

"Since Kei is willing to believe you," Kaori, who seemed a little reluctant due to the stinging pain in her breathing, still smiled at Ash. "Why shouldn't I believe Mr. Ash?"

"that's it."

He put away the two fingers that were pressing the acupuncture points, lowered the thin neck that was crackling from being pressed by his fingers, and finally let go of Hui, who was anxious like an ant on the hot pan, and let her lower her body naturally.

"Ah-ah~" Kaori, who had originally felt like she was about to be torn apart by Ash, gradually changed her moans of pain to comfortable ones. She was surprised at how light her hands and feet had become. "What's going on? My body feels so relaxed! There's no pain or discomfort at all!"

"Mom, is this really okay?"

"No problem, I feel like I can beat 10 of your fathers!"

Ever since she suffered a long-term illness due to a difficult labor when giving birth to Hui, she had not experienced such a vibrant and light feeling for a long time. This made her transcend her history as a housewife and recall the time when she was the owner of a hot spring hotel and worked part-time as the boss.

"You can achieve this level of performance just through massage without medication." Knowing just how extraordinary this level of performance was, Kaori looked at Ash with a look of amazement. "Although it's worrying that his license has been revoked, but—is Dr. Ash really that skilled?"

"I feel like he's just as awesome as Dr. Black Jack from the anime I watched as a kid!"

I always feel that this technology is so powerful that it doesn’t seem like it exists in the real world!

"Compared to the one in the anime, it's still better," Ash explained, a rare moment of modesty. "It's not actually a massage, just bone setting and acupressure."

It goes without saying that I have learned acupressure from several teachers. Although no one is willing to teach me bone-setting skills, I am a genius after all. It is reasonable that I can learn it just by watching a few times, right?

"So it wasn't an exaggeration..."

"Ash is much more capable than you think." Ash raised his hand and tapped Kei's head a few times as a warning. Instead of provoking the usual protest, he earned a twinkle in the girl's eyes. "If even Mom can be of help, Mr. Ash—Dad is always busy. Since Ash doesn't have a regular place to go back to, why don't you stay at my house for now!"

If I were to say this, not only would Mr. Ash be able to heal my mother, but I might also be able to—

"You let any man stay in the same room with you and your mother. Sometimes I really want to open your head and see what's going on inside."

Hui's thoughtless words naturally earned Ash another merciless slap. Even someone as enthusiastic as Mana would only say something like that after mutual understanding. I'm convinced now that while you're both enthusiastic about making friends and helping others, your inner core is actually the opposite, right?

As for Miyuki who said this...it's okay that she's an idiot, but are you an idiot too?

Chapter 151 The Biggest Crisis of the Lovely Angel!

"Alala~ What a great atmosphere! Mommy, I won't disturb you two!"

Feeling once again that her daughter had grown up, Aino Kaori gave Hui a look of "reassurance", and naturally went to make room for the two of them under the pretext of doing housework.

"mom!"

"I didn't realize it when she was sick before, but it turns out that Hui inherited her carefree personality from her aunt."

"My mom isn't usually like this!"

Listening to Ash's back-story, the girl protested on behalf of her mother with great dissatisfaction.

To be honest, we are all very normal people, but we become not as weird as ourselves after interacting with you. I am like that, so is Hime, and Iona too... So, Ash is the weird one!

But no matter how much he complained, Huidu still took the initiative to invite Ash to visit his room.

"How is my home?"

"Hmm..." Ash picked up a Mazinger Z toy from the counter and, with his other hand, secretly flipped through the photo of Miyuki's room in his Batman memory. Looking at her expectant expression, Ash, who was a bit unsure how to describe it, spoke after a long while. "Very, very good."

Ordinary, surprisingly ordinary, so ordinary that Ash didn't know what witty words to say to liven up the atmosphere.

Standing in this rustic room that was completely different from the indoor atmosphere of Mana, Miyuki, Ayumi and the others, and with no girly or gentle atmosphere at all, Ash almost thought that he was being invited to the home of some team's red master.

"Wait a minute, Ash, let me look for my treasured senbei."

"Mei, I remember you said that if you could make a wish with the Light Card, it would be for your mother's health to get better, right?" Sitting next to the girl's pillow, Ash casually pulled out a test paper from the half-open schoolbag on the table and looked at it.

The man who had originally just wanted to take a look to kill time had an increasingly cold and unpleasant expression as he browsed through the paper. His hands had been so tense that they had crumpled a corner of the paper into a ball.

Look hard.

The fist is hard!

"Hmm!" Kei, completely unaware of what was going on, continued searching for the rice crackers. "Mom's health hasn't been good since I was born, so she can't work anymore. She can only focus on taking care of the household while Dad is often away on business..."

"My mother loves me very much, so if possible, I also want to cure her illness—"

Hui handed the soy sauce senbei in her hand to Ash like she was presenting a treasure, and asked Ash in a pleading tone.

"Since Ash is such a great doctor, then... can you help heal my mother?"

"If I could, I'd do anything—"

"If you want to say it," Ash interrupted the girl's subsequent outburst. Now in no mood for that kind of weirdness, he put down the test paper in his hand. "Doesn't your friend Yuuko have the ability to heal?"

"Ah?!"

I, I never thought that Pretty Cure's power could be used like this. Is there such a thing?!

"Don't worry, since it's your request, I'll do it." Before the girl could react, Ash snatched away the senbei, his lips curled up for a moment before instantly returning to normal. "Your filial piety is touching. Now, you need to tell me about this, right?"

Wait, what's in Ash's hand... looks like my test paper?!

"You're Pretty Cure... Can you explain to me why you only scored 12 out of 120?"

"!"

Hearing Ash's emotionless voice as if he was interrogating a criminal, Ainoe's whole body trembled and she thought to herself that something was wrong!

Is Cure Lovely's worst and biggest crisis about to happen?!

Ash still remembers how in the previous world, Reika complained to him about how everyone was too focused on the Pretty Cure activities and forgetting their homework. And how Miyuki preferred to just bury herself in a fairy tale book all day long rather than study. But it was only with my guidance and tutoring that they finally got through that...

To be honest, the Pretty Cures he's met so far are all excellent outside of combat, which is partly why he's proud of them. I know it's unreasonable for me to ask this of each of you, but it's really frustrating to know that a Pretty Cures is so weak in this area!

Miyuki is an idiot and I never expected anything from the beginning, so I won't say anything more. As for you, Hui—

Is he an idiot too?!

"3x + 5 = 17....How come you calculated 36 when even elementary school kids can solve this equation?"

"Because I got the symbol wrong..."

The sudden change in the atmosphere made Huimeng, who was sitting in front of Ash, recall the terrifying time when she was his enemy.

"Let's not talk about math for now. Can you tell me, Ms. Aino Ei?" Ash's expression changed from indifference to a smile, but it was a smile that made Ei tremble like a little rabbit before its natural enemy. "Why did Oda Nobunaga become the one who ended the Warring States Period? This is your country's history, right?"

"Could it be that Kei, dissatisfied with the monkey's victory, secretly used the power of Pretty Cure to travel back in time and change history?"

"How is that possible? I can't do that. Only Pretty Cure can't do that!"

No! Hui is now certain that Ash, in his current "devil teacher" form, is definitely more ferocious and terrifying than when he attacked her out of frustration!

Escape, I must escape from Ash who is in this wrong state now!

"Pah!" Ash asked angrily, using the test paper and textbook to trap Hui's head as she tried to escape, leaving only her chubby, aggrieved mouth exposed. "Tell me, what are you?"

"I...I'm a stupid sandwich..."

The low, mournful whimpering sound was eventually drowned out by Ash's unquestionable majesty. Ainoe never imagined that one day after "losing" to the enemy as a Pretty Cure, her tragic end would be to have to do her homework by herself?

This is so tragic!
