Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

He saved everyone at super speed, squeezing in between a bunch of crises. Although it always felt like he was paying tribute to someone, when he saw the neatly arranged coffins and household registration books lying in front of him without missing a single one, a sense of accomplishment still arose spontaneously.

"I'm not bad at picking up corpses... ahem!"

Fortunately, when he arrived, he witnessed how the phantom opened the mirror coffin. He released them all by following the same pattern, and after explaining what happened to these girls who had just woken up from their dreams, countless emotions suddenly burst out in one breath.

"Are we saved?"

"So, what about everyone else? Everyone's fine! That's great~"

"Dad...Mom!"

"Great! But what should I do with all the homework I've accumulated these days..."

The girls who survived the disaster hugged each other excitedly and cried with joy. The sounds of sobbing and cheering mixed together. Ash, who was standing among them and listening to the chattering, surprisingly did not find it noisy.

"Megumi, is this the happiness you want to protect? Not bad."

Ash felt that the person who woke up last was now holding his hand tightly.

"You... who are you?" Holding on to the edge of the Mirror Pavilion, Hikawa Marina, who was feeling drowsy after being infused with power by the phantom, tightly grasped the only thing she could hold on to at the moment.

"You are, Ash...?"

It's actually not surprising that Hikawa Maria, who has never actually met Ash, can say his name.

Maria vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen him with her sister... and heard her mention your name.

Other than that, I remember someone saying I had flat breasts...but he wanted mine? No, no, no, that must be an illusion.

"You, you saved us?"

It's unbelievable. In the scenes that I occasionally saw when I was sealed, I saw him and Pretty Cure as enemies, but now he is helping her?

"I have two purposes. One is to make you remember and spread the word that I saved you this time. This way, I can also be considered as helping myself."

"Secondly..."

"It's all thanks to your good sister." The man smiled and gave her a thumbs-up. "To avoid disappointing them."

So that Iona, who has been asking me about you openly and secretly, can smile at the reunion.

"I'm here to save you."

Chapter 181 Is this love at first sight?! (4K chapter)

"I have fulfilled the original agreement."

When Iona saw that it was Ash who knocked on her door, she saw him waving his hand towards the door. "Come on, are you going to be shy at this time?"

"No, I just haven't figured out how to say hello..." A pretty and sweet face, with long, smooth black hair that flowed down like a waterfall and was just blown by the evening breeze. Everything was the same as it was a few years ago. When she saw the face that was exactly the same as she remembered except that it was a little more awkward, Hikawa Iona, who was just loosening the door latch, was stunned.

"Iona, do you remember who I am?"

Maria didn't get a response for a long time, so she pointed at herself with a half smile. When she looked over again, she saw a thin stream of water sliding down her sister's cheek.

"elder sister..."

When the sister she had been thinking about day and night was brought to her personally by Ash, the ecstasy that came over her heart made her faint and she didn't know how to react for a moment. However, at this time, as an elder sister, Hikawa Maria chose to take the initiative to hold her sister's hand.

"Maria!"

Of course, the most excited one is the elf "Sunglasses" who has been following her since the beginning. Now she can see her partner return and she feels that nothing can make her happier than this.

"Long time no see, Sunglasses." Greeting her former elf partner, whose face was already filled with tears, Maria held her sister's hand. Suddenly, she raised her hand and gently pointed it at her head and then gestured to herself. "Iona, you..."

I don't have many memories of the days when I was sealed, but for them, it seems like a very long time has passed, right?

"You've grown a lot taller, haven't you?"

"Sister—how could that be possible? How could that be the first thing you said to your sister when you met again?"

When Iona, who was crying and laughing with joy, hugged her sister tightly, and when Maria, her sister, also had her eyes gradually moistened by tears.

"It's so great to see you again."

"Thank you...Mr. Ash!"

"Me too—thank you so much, Ash!"

"Even if you thank me, I won't get any gratitude points. That's not what my system collects."

Although he usually said that he would not be at a disadvantage, but when he saw the two sisters hugging each other for reunion, and thought of another pair of "sisters" who almost suffered a regret because of him, Ash pressed the shutter of the camera in his hand again.

"A happy expression."

It's not much worse than an expression of sadness and regret.

--------

"call...."

“Roar—!”

Standing in the circle of four evil beasts, Hikawa Maria was not at all panicked. She was performing the "breathing" action that she had done countless times and it was almost engraved in her muscle memory. With each breath, the girl opened her eyes again and released the aura of the "strongest" Pretty Cure without reservation.

"scare..."

The terrifying air wave centered on the girl even made four evil beasts that were much larger than her take a step back. Now Hikawa Iona is about to pick up the title of Pretty Cure that has been lost for several years, and once again attack as "Cure Tender" to fight evil!

Of course, she is now a "darkened" version.

"drink--!"

The girl in black clothes spread the butterfly wings behind her, and her nimble body was like a butterfly dancing among the flowers. She moved lightly and naturally among the huge attacks. The four evil beasts attacked together unwillingly, but they couldn't even touch the dust stirred up by her passing through.

"!!"

The evil beasts, who had accomplished nothing, were naturally unwilling to accept such a result. Thick streams of dark destructive light shot out from their hands, but were blocked by the inverted pentagram barrier summoned by Maria's hand.

Light has a special attack effect against darkness, and darkness also has a special attack effect against light, but darkness of the same origin does not have such an advantage against darkness.

"I am indeed stronger now."

The girl easily blocked all the attacks, not only without any injury but also without feeling much effort. Comparing herself to her past self, she came to a surprising conclusion. Although she was very unwilling to accept it, the "blackened" gentle angel was indeed more powerful than the gentle angel in her normal state.

"If I really get brainwashed and become an enemy against Iona and the others..."

Whenever Maria thought of this possibility, she felt a chill down her spine, and as a result, she respected Ash even more for helping her.

"But even her hair has changed from gray-blue to purple."

How can I turn black and dye my hair...

"Ah."

Ash, the "observer" Maria had actively invited to prevent any accidents with her own power, nodded in satisfaction. Even Ash admitted that her battle was indeed a pleasure to watch.

As sisters, their fighting styles are inherited from the same family karate, but if you really compare them, it's like the difference between minor league and major league! While Iona's moves are still somewhat scripted, Maria's fighting style is completely integrated.

Every seemingly gentle blow can bring devastating consequences to the opponent, and every seemingly powerless partner can directly dissipate the incoming attack.

The naturally twisted body brushed past the huge fist, raised its hand to grab the giant hand at the side, and with a trip and a throw, it threw its body, which was dozens of times larger than its own, to the ground. The evil beast, which was knocked unconscious, rolled all the way like a bowling ball, tripping over the other three companions.

"That's really good." Ash rubbed his chin and nodded again.

If I hadn't already chosen my partner this time, I might have had feelings for you too.

Oh no, now I really want to fight her.

"Tender—Ah..."

As the enemy collapsed into a heap, Maria was about to unleash her signature move, only to realize she was using the wrong form. Embarrassed, she withdrew her hand, then raised the glowing butterfly rune on her other hand. She simply channeled this power into a deep torrent, surging towards the enemy and transforming it into a destructive explosion of lightning, pulverizing all the evil beasts.

"B-Damn it! The original four Pretty Cures were already difficult enough to deal with, how come there's another one this powerful now?!"

"Now, I'm really going to be abandoned by the Phantom Queen..."

After glaring at Maria who was standing still with unwillingness, the cadres who had never won a single battle since Ash appeared on the scene began to run away more and more skillfully.

"Hmm~"

"What's wrong...ah!" Maria, who was feeling a little regretful, suddenly felt a strong gaze sweeping across her body. The girl, with goose bumps all over her body, turned around and saw Ash who was looking her up and down carefully. When she was about to ask him something, she suddenly remembered a fact, which made the "Pretty Cure" who was releasing destructive power not long ago shyly pull her skirt.

When I was still a genuine Pretty Cure, I wore a long skirt with safety pants underneath for peace of mind; but the problem is that after I became a "dark version", not only did the skirt that covered me become a miniskirt, but even the safety pants were changed to the shameless type!

"No, don't look!"

So why do the darker suits always turn darker? Is there some kind of tradition here?

"It's really good."

However, Maria's behavior was just flirting with the blind, and Ash's only thought was that he had done the right thing by rescuing her.

He understood this very well. The feeling of getting the enemy's stuff for free to strengthen himself was like wearing new underwear in the New Year!

"As expected of the most powerful Pretty Cure on this planet."

But your breasts are still basically non-existent. It's okay that a 17-year-old almost 18-year-old Lily has an almost sunken chest, but how come you, an adult, are so poor?

I'm now convinced that being a Pretty Cure has nothing to do with gender or age, but the most important factor is having small breasts, right? Well... except for the fruit-themed and music-themed ones.

"But, it's truly an extremely terrifying power."

Looking at the soil in front of her, which looked like it had been plowed more than a dozen times and had two layers flattened, she realized that it could have been repaired automatically in the past, but now she had no choice but to call her sister for help. Thinking of this, the dark-skinned girl looked embarrassed.

"Come to think of it, the first thing those rescued Pretty Cures did after thanking me was to report their safety to their comrades." Glancing at her expression, Yashou had just remembered this. "But I don't see you have such plans. Could it be that you, like me, think the lone wolf style is cool?"

"Unlike Ash, I have friends now!" Maria sighed, as they became familiar with each other and were able to joke with each other. "It's just that I've become like this now."

Although it has become stronger, it has also become darker and deeper. The appearance of a dark servant and the pure destructive power that is no longer sacred... Is all this really worth it?

"Using the power of darkness... Having become like this, am I still worthy of being called a Pretty Cure?"

If that's the case, how can I face seeing my old friends again?

"Why not."

Ash, who had turned into a Wizard again and used magic to repair the terrain, spoke as a matter of course. The tone of his voice, which was neither a question nor a statement, made her look at Ash.

"The power of darkness and light, no matter how powerful or representative they may be, is ultimately just power. What they can do depends on who wields them."

Just because you use your most sacred power to kill people doesn't mean you are doing good things, and vice versa.

"Besides, Kamen Rider's power always derives from the same source as his enemy." The power of magic reconstructed the ground as if it were flowing backwards in time, and the knight raised his magic ring towards the darkened Pretty Cure. "Some of the reasons Kamen Rider is called a hero instead of a monster isn't just because he has a transformation belt."

It would be better to say that among the Kamen Riders who can transform, there are quite a few bad guys.

"So, do you think I'm a villain or a hero?"

"Of course he's a hero!"

You are the hero who saved me!

"Hehe, I'm no hero... but you are."

"Didn't you just defeat four evil beasts in a row to save Hikari Oka when they were unable to attend school? Ms. Hikawa Maria, who did all this, deserves to be called a Pretty Cure."

"The decision on this matter is always in your hands."

Boom-!

When Ash pointed at her so handsomely, the adult Miss Hikawa Maria, with blushing cheeks, suddenly covered her chest with her hands.

“So… so handsome…”

What you said just now really touched my heart. It was so handsome!

And my heart just skipped a beat. Could this be the teleportation...

Love at first sight?!

--------

"Oh no, oh no, here comes Tuanzi."

It was in the Blue Sky Kingdom Embassy, ​​which served as the girls' base, that Kei and her group were still worrying about how to speed up the recovery of the God, when Ash suddenly walked in with a plate of hot dumplings.

Seeing everyone looking at each other in confusion, Ash even urged them on.

"This time, we've served you what you want to eat. Why don't you eat?"
