Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"This lady."

Eh, are you inviting me? I compared Ash to someone before, and I thought he'd be pissed.

"Can I ask you to dance with me?" As if he saw the girl's surprise, the prince took the initiative to hold the girl's hand to put her at ease, but just when he was about to pull her over.

"ah--!"

After screaming and hastily pulling her hand back, Snow White finally realized how loud her subconscious scream had been. Feeling the attention of everyone around her shift to her, the girl hurriedly tried to explain.

You may think it’s nothing, but some first times are extremely precious experiences in the hearts of girls!

"This first important and memorable first experience! It's what I want to give to another person - no, it's not like that!" Xiao Ji realized that she seemed to have said something wrong and began to speak more and more strangely incoherently.

"Xiao Ji, what nonsense are you talking about?" Hui, whose ears were burning just by listening, complained. At this moment, she seemed to notice something out of the corner of her eye and instinctively chased after him.

"Oh, no—that's not right!" After just this complaint, Snow White's face flushed like a ripe apple, babbling incoherently in the direction Kei left, waving her hands. "No, no, that's not right! You didn't hear anything, you don't know anything!!!"

My ladylike heart——has become strange aa ...

"I see. I was abrupt."

Fortunately, Prince Sieg was very considerate and did not care about such disrespect. He just bowed and took his leave, then quietly retreated back into the crowd.

"Excuse me! Why was I so rude just now? I'm really unfitted as a princess..." Snow White, who was in a big embarrassment, wanted to find comfort from her friends, but found that she was surrounded by dolls without knowing when, and there was no one else in sight.

"Hey, where's everyone?"

Could it be that they were separated?

"Yuko! Iouna!"

Also, what about Hui?

"Xiao Tsumugi?"

After seeing the white of the ballet skirt flash by from the edge of the ball, Hui, worried about her friend, immediately followed it and after turning several corners, she came to a long and narrow corridor.

"Finally found you. Everyone was worried when you suddenly left! Want to go play together?"

"..."

"Any other questions? If there's anything you need help with, as a Pretty Cure, I'd be happy to help!"

"Everyone is so happy and cheerful."

Standing behind the shadow cast by the curtains, the girl also cast her own shadow in front of her.

"Yeah! As a Pretty Cure, I'm also fighting hard, fighting to make everyone happy! I think this is my mission!"

"I always believe that as long as everyone works hard, they can achieve happiness—"

Standing in the light and shadow cast by the window, Hui, who was completely unaware of the gradually colder atmosphere around Tsumugi, thought she was praising her and continued to output positive energy until she was interrupted by the other person's voice.

"It's impossible. Pretty Cure is not an omnipotent god. Even you can't do such a thing."

"Eh?"

"Keiko... you really don't know how to read the mood." Tsumugi turned around and let the startled Keiko see the sneer on his face. "Hasn't someone like you ever met someone who couldn't make you happy even if you risked your own happiness?"

"....?!"

I...have encountered this before.

Why, why do you know this?!

"It seems like I guessed it, it really is like that."

Seeing the unconcealable "pain" on Hui's face, Tsumugi couldn't help but feel happy in her depressed heart. It seems that it's not just her own fault. Even someone as powerful as Pretty Cure can't always be happy.

"Happiness or something, I can't do that!"

"Since you know clearly, you should know that sometimes even if you work hard, there will be no results. Sometimes it just can't be done—"

She wanted to pour out her deep-seated pain to Hui, whom she had become friends with not long ago, but when she saw the stunned expression on her face, she gritted her teeth and trotted to the other end of the corridor, pushed the door open and went in.

I just said such harsh words to her out of spite, and now you're still talking about us being friends? I'm not worthy...

Even that Black Fang said he’s not a friend, so in that case, I just need to protect my own world!

"Xiao Tsumugi!"

When she saw the creaking door about to close, Hui, who felt that the other party had touched the wound in her heart, finally reacted. She screamed and pushed the door open just before it was completely closed!

"here it is!?"

Without even having time to catch her breath, Hui couldn't help but open her mouth wide as she looked at everything in the room, having never imagined that things would develop like this.

Chapter 164: The Mantis Catches the Cicada

"Hmm, that's really interesting. Can a world be created solely by the power of human minds?"

The boy wearing glasses walked out of another portal that appeared out of thin air. After studying the actual overall structure of the bottom layer of this world and feeling the reality of every blade of grass and tree around him, even the scientists of the former "Space Science and Technology Bureau" were greatly shocked.

"Is this the miracle that the Precure world exists? What do you think, Mr. Phantom?"

The young man in white, knowing what kind of "monster" possessed the boy, merely glanced at him. "I've personally defeated countless beings like the so-called embodiment of miracles, the Pretty Cure."

"I think there's a difference between Pretty Cure and Precure, just like some people are born warriors with everything, while others have no matching qualities except curiosity..."

"Tregear." The Phantom, uninterested in playing charades, only wanted to know one thing. "That traitor to the Phantom Empire is here now, right?"

"Yes, and here's a piece of news for you: the Kamen Rider you hate is here too." After the Kamen Rider found him and explained his intentions, Tregear agreed precisely because he wanted to see what this loyal villain would do. "But what else can you do now? Hasn't your Queen already lost her purpose and is unable to do anything?"

"Brother Phantom, instead of watching her sink into depression and misery all day long, wouldn't it be better to free her from this powerlessness now?"

Do big things, do big things, Phantom! GOGO!!!

"You are not allowed to say that to Her Majesty the Queen—Humph, this has nothing to do with you anyway!"

Hearing the other party's criticism of the Queen, the Phantom almost rushed towards him with red eyes, but in front of that wanton smile, the Phantom still endured it.

"Is that so? Even if you want to defeat the enemy now, you are just another stepping stone in the face of their absolute strength."

"When did I say he was the target?"

The purpose up to now has been only one.

There is only one fate for betrayers!

--------

"Why is it like this?!"

The seemingly medium-sized room was actually filled with evil beasts in the shape of worn-out rag dolls. The hideous grins on their faces and their shaking bodies seemed to be mocking Hui, who was stunned at the moment, for falling into the trap here so easily.

"Tsumugi...Tsumugi!"

After dodging the attack from above in a awkward manner, Hui instinctively took out the transformation device and looked at the girl standing opposite him in disbelief.

"It shouldn't be like this, shouldn't we be here to help you save your puppet kingdom from the evil beast?!" Looking at the girl who stood behind the evil beast but was not attacked, no matter how stupid Hui was, no matter how unwilling she was to believe it, she had to come up with an answer that she didn't like.

Were we planned from the very beginning?!

"Isn't this an obvious answer?"

Seeing Hui struggling and waving her fists desperately to fight back, but being pinned down by the heavy encirclement, the expression on Tsumugi's face completely disappeared.

"You were never the savior of the Puppet Kingdom from the beginning. Rather, you were the complete opposite!"

"How could that be? You were laughing so happily with us after the dance. Aren't we friends? Guwaa——!"

Hui, who had difficulty concentrating during the battle, unsurprisingly lost his defense and was directly embedded into the ground by several heavy punches.

"No way! How could there be a Pretty Cure among my friends—!"

"Lovely Blaster!"

The high-temperature radiation flames blooming from the bow on her chest melted the evil beasts stacked on her body like molten steel in a steel furnace. Just when she was about to reach out to Tsumugi with a sigh of relief, she saw that the evil beasts that had just been defeated were thrown down again without a scratch on the loom-like structure in the center of the room.

"How can it be..."

It's obvious that my side is stronger, but is there an enemy that cannot be defeated by force?

After a closer look, she finally understood that what were entangled on those looms were actually countless black silk threads representing "misfortune". It was these threads that continuously turned into enemies to fight against the girls' energy of happiness.

Isn't this equivalent to fighting with the enemy in the fountain of the enemy base?

"Dear angel...your friends are now powerless, and I won't make things difficult for them." Standing beneath the giant dark loom, Tsumugi Ie danced once more on tiptoe for the audience. "However, as the only Pretty Cure on Earth, and one of only two who could possibly be an enemy of Mr. Black Fang, I cannot let you go so easily."

".....Tsumugi!! How could you do that?!"

Here we go again... Is this another time someone has betrayed and trampled upon my feelings?!

"Crack--!!" A crack appeared on the surface of the Gomora ring placed in the girl's waist bag, vaguely revealing the "existence" flashing with red and blue colors underneath.

What was that just now?

"!" Even though Hui only showed an extremely ferocious expression for a moment, Tsumugi still took a few steps back instinctively with a palpitation in his heart.

"Hmph, no matter what, if you're the only one who can transform now, there's no way a single Pretty Cure can defeat so many evil beasts—"

"So, what if we add one more?"

When the painted enamel glass was shattered by the front of the motorcycle, the motorcycle fell from the sky with a gorgeous glass and crushed the face of an evil beast. The rider on it continued to step on the accelerator, drifting all the way and finally used the side brake to force a path between the evil beast and the badly injured Hui.

"Who are you—" As soon as he asked the question, Tsumugi's face changed drastically and he knew he had asked a stupid question.

"Just a Kamen Rider passing by."

Ash got off the motorcycle and leaned casually on it. After looking at Tsumugi who was surrounded by evil beasts, he took out the camera that he had prepared in his arms and pressed the shutter button towards her.

"I knew you didn't mean to invite me, so I came in on my own."

"Of course, if you didn't leave a path for me to enter, I'd have to make one myself."

Pulling out the photo from the Polaroid camera head, Ash nodded happily at the clear expression of the girl's confusion and distress.

really.

My photography skills are much better than that guy's, aren't they?

Chapter 165: The Truth and Hui's Inner Disqualification (4K5 chapters)

"Quick, get out of the way!"

After watching Hui follow Tsumugi into the corridor, Iona and the others, who were extremely eager to catch up, were still trapped by countless puppets. No matter how hard they tried to move forward, they would be pushed back again.

Iona and the others are now finally convinced that these seemingly cute dolls are indeed trying to restrict their actions!

"But why is it Megumi..." Thinking about the reason they came to the Puppet Kingdom, the girls suddenly remembered. "Oh right, it's Pretty Cure... Megumi is the only one who can transform into Pretty Cure now, so it must be her?!"

"What are you planning to do to Pretty Cure? Have we ever done anything to offend you?"

No matter how hard I think about it, this kind of thing is impossible!

"..." The puppets seemed to hesitate in the face of the girl's questioning. Just when they thought the other party had retreated, the puppets surrounded them again. Not only theirs, but this time even Prince Sieg stood against them.

"I'm sorry, Pretty Cure." The prince apologized from the moment he opened his mouth. "I didn't mean to pick on you. You are the heroes who defeated evil. You don't deserve this kind of treatment."

"In that case, why are you trying to stop us?"

"And puppets, what exactly is your purpose?!"

If they were meant to harm them, why didn't they sense any malice or murderous intent from them?

"Xiao Tsumugi..."

"Xiao Tsumugi."

"Xiao Tsumugi!"

No matter whether they were furry animal toys or Snow White and the witch dolls, no matter what roles they originally represented or what attitudes they expressed, at this moment they all said the same name firmly in front of the girl.

"You haven't done anything wrong. It's us who are selfish."

"But all the dolls in this Puppet Kingdom belong to Tsumugi." Prince Sieg stood among the dolls, arms outstretched, blocking their way. "All the dolls here have been cherished by her, and they love her. So, as long as she can continue to dance with happiness, we will do it."

"Let us do anything!"

"This kind of thing—it doesn't make any sense at all."
