Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Can't let her be alone! We agreed, you and I -

Meet again.

"[I see.]"

----------

"[Nanohana, listen carefully.]"

"[I will give you my heart that loves Ash.]"

"[In exchange, please give yourself to me.]"

Nonoka had a dream, and she woke up with a sound like breaking glass.

"What a strange dream."

The last time I saw Ash was a year ago.

No matter how painful it was, she came out of it. No, she had to come out of it.

In a year, she seemed to have returned to the Nonoka of the past, back to the lonely Cure Yell, telling stories from tomorrow, and finally after going around in a big circle, she returned to the past.

No, not everything remains the same, there are still changes.

For example, not a day went by when she didn't think about him.

"Wow-waa ...

For example, there is another person in her life who needs her love.

"It's okay, Mom is here."

Nonoka, who is already a mother, hums a lullaby and holds the crying child in her arms, allowing the hungry child to absorb nutrition from her body.

"I'm sorry, Baomei. It's my fault that Mommy overslept today."

My mother apologized quietly, and the light in her eyes had already solidified as she quickly put the strange dream behind her.

A year later, she had a child, yes, a child with Ash.

It must be the gift Ash left for her when they first met.

Although it is difficult for a single mother to raise a child, as a Pretty Cure who saves the world, no one would say anything bad about her. On the contrary, there are countless people who want to help her in every way.

But Hua rejected all of them.

She would not let anyone interfere with her and Ash's world.

"Huh~huh~"

Seeing the baby's increasingly peaceful expression in her arms, Hua's expression also gradually softened. When only the quiet breathing sounded in the room, Hua finally kissed her daughter gently on the forehead.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

"No matter who you are, Mom will protect you. Because you are the few 'everything' Mom has left..."

Because we know that we will meet again in the future. Until then, no matter if it is a monster or the man who said incomprehensible words before, I will protect you.

Reluctantly putting Nonohomi back into the rocking crib, Hana, who was already very accustomed to it, prepared to cook today's meal.

"so spicy."

It's the taste he likes.

She was preparing lunch for him today.

She knew it, she believed it. He was a hero who saved the world, how could a hero die?

"He was just a little late somewhere else."

For the umpteenth time, Hua served dishes that no one ate.

After all, he is a liar, so even the matter of death, he was just lying to me.

"He's just... late."

"Ding Dong~"

The wind rang the doorbell.

"coming."

When Hua opened the door, she saw a man with his sleeves empty and his body covered in blood. He lowered his head and looked at her with his bright eyes, which were the only ones not stained with blood.

"I'm sorry, I can't find my destination... Can you give me something to eat first... Hmm?"

"Food? Here I am... um?"

The two of them saw each other.

Accidentally, Ash's chopsticks were knocked to the ground by Hua.

"..."

The bells, blown by the wind, began to ring again.

"I'm hungry, Hana."

"Is there anything to eat?"

"Well, please sit down for a while."

"The rest of the dishes will be ready soon."

"..."

We seemed to be dreaming.

"I'm sorry for leaving you alone."

"No, it's okay."

When the two reunited and embraced, when both bathed in the blood brought by Ash, when both the light and the darkness shared together, no one cried anymore.

"Welcome back, Ash."

"I'm back, Hua."

Chapter 1 A wonderful man named Ash.

When the destructive force containing annihilation stardust kicked into his waist, annihilating the flesh inside the black armor belt on his body, Ash fell into the familiar darkness and emptiness.

Unable to speak, unable to see, unable to think, even the act of thinking itself does not exist, as if all the meaning of one's life has been integrated into this infinite void. This is human death.

Normally, this is the ultimate answer that humans get at the end of their lives, but as mentioned before, if this is normally the case, then naturally there will be less normal situations.

A human named Ash is a little different from a normal person. Because of a certain "system" in his body, he became an "immortal" who will be reborn in another world after death. He is not allowed to die so easily.

Because of this characteristic, he is even quite familiar with death itself.

When he took off the gloves on the back of his hands, he saw a pair of melted gloves. The belt he took off from his waist was even more miserable. Sparks kept flying from the rotating dashboard. The card slot in the middle for placing props was covered with melted matter. The joystick on the right side used for launching special moves and transformations was broken into two sections.

Except for the two full black bottles inside and the red trigger inserted on it, which can be recycled, the rest of the parts are in a state that makes its producer shake his head, and they can only be sold as scrap for 5 yuan per two kilograms.

While he was thinking about what else these scrap metals could be used for and whether there were scrap trucks in the afterlife, several transparent panels jumped into his sight at the right time.

[Blizzard Fist] (Condition: Damaged)

[Build Driver](Status: Damaged)

[Confirmed that the host has died and cannot continue, and the mission settlement begins.]

[Official settlement in progress..... Confirmed to have collected "Dark Echo". Your rating in the "Kamen Rider Buld" world is: [A]! Received a lucky draw ticket.]

Without even thinking about looking at the rewards and detailed briefing given by the system, Yaxiu waved his hand as usual, blowing away the panel with his palm as if to shoo away flies. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.

"I just attacked it a few episodes in advance and broke its evolution trigger, but it actually went straight into the black hole and kicked me. Snakes are really petty animals."

I prefer rabbits to cold-blooded snakes.

However, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the surprised expression on the face of the alien snake-skinned monster who defected and backstabbed as easily as drinking water when he was betrayed by someone he didn't expect but was expected to be. If I thought so, it seemed that I had not lost out by defecting to the snake-skinned monster's side and fighting with the protagonist group for several episodes.

With a flick of his wrist, Ash flung the scrap metal at the impotent, furious figure wielding a scythe. "Get out of the way. You can't take mine anyway." Shortly after dismissing the soul-harvesting god of death who had left disappointed, Ash felt his soul begin to detach from his body.

[Transmission begins, new world confirmed: "do....]

"Is it going to start again? It's so fast this time." Amidst the usual helplessness, there seemed to be some voices of expectation.

"I hope this time's hero can make me more excited."

In the corridor of Dabei No. 1 Middle School, two girls in school uniforms were looking around, searching for something.

"Right now, there are rumors all over the school. They say that books in the library have been seen flying, performing a ritual to summon demons, and that the statues of Chopin and Mozart in the music room have started to move and play music together!"

"There were also buckets and mops flying around. Could this be the rumor about Hanako in the bathroom?"

"That's right, I heard that even Teacher Ya from Class 3 was scared!"

Young students are always powerless against such rumors that sound very supernatural. They are now excitedly discussing the supernatural phenomenon that has turned the entire school upside down.

Whenever the two girls passed by the discussion scene, they would always look embarrassed, tiptoe and walk quickly, escaping the scene like thieves.

"Mana, nothing found here!"

Exuding the kind of wisdom that your neighbor's kid has who's great at studying, the blue-haired girl with glasses, Hishikawa Rikka, gets a headache whenever she thinks of the cause of the incident.

"Wow, where the hell did Ai-chan go?!"

Fourteen-year-old Aida Mana, known as "Mana" by the others, was also filled with anxiety. They had been entrusted with the care of a baby, "Ai-chan," who, contrary to the mammalian principle, had hatched from an egg—a feat that would have killed Darwin instantly. However, because students were bound by their duties and bringing an infant to class was unrealistic, they had to entrust Ai-chan with someone else. The result was predictable: the care wasn't perfect, but it was chaotic. Now the entire school was in turmoil over the lost baby's mysterious powers.

After all, Ai-chan is not an ordinary baby. After all, ordinary babies are not hatched from eggs, and they will not grow transparent wings on their backs.

Not to mention these, the two girls, Ai and Rika, also like the cute "Ai-chan" very much. What's more, they were saved by each other's magical powers. Now that they have lost each other, how can they not be anxious?

Hearing the conversation between the two distressed people, three plush doll-like "elves" of different colors slowly floated out of the girls' pockets, looking a little depressed.

It was they who volunteered to help Ai and the others take care of Ai-chan, and finally succeeded in getting Ai-chan lost.

"I'm sorry, it's all our fault for not taking good care of Ai-chan Xialu..."

"No, this isn't Xia Lulu or your fault."

Ai opened her arms and gently embraced the fairies: "Originally, I should have been responsible for taking care of this, and it was I who asked you to do it later. How can I blame you? If anyone is at fault, of course I also have some responsibility that I cannot escape!"

"Mana~"

Hearing the words of love, the elf's big round eyes were quickly infected by the moist luster and filled with emotion.

"Besides, instead of blaming ourselves here, the more important thing right now is of course to find Ai-chan. Let's all come together!"

"Speaking of which, has Mana found where Ai-chan might be?"

Rikka, who pushed up her glasses and flashed a strange light, poured a basin of cold water on her just in time. Ai's movements and facial expression froze, and the smile on her face facing Rikka was filled with an awkward apology.

"Hehe, it's not there yet——Ah, I found it!" The girl suddenly changed her tone when she was halfway through her words. Her eyes sparkled as if she had seen something unexpectedly and she raised her hand to point in a direction.

"Hey, you're lying!"

Rikka quickly looked in the direction her lover was pointing, and saw the same scene.

Near the flower bed of the school stadium stood a man who did not fit in with the school's style. Wearing a handsome black vest jacket with the collar slightly open, the man looked neither like a student nor a teacher or other staff member.

The young man had short hair and looked indifferently at the baby in his arms who was giggling because he poked her face with his fingers. It was Ai-chan that they had been looking for.

"Ah, Ai-chan!"

"Qbi~" Hearing the call of love, Ai-chan flapped the transparent wings behind her and flew into the girl's arms, rubbing her soft little face against her like a spoiled child.

"Really, you made us worry to death~" Although there was a bit of complaint in her tone, the joy of reunion still made the girl hug Ai-chan even tighter in her arms.

"Thank you for helping me find Ai-chan!"

Relieved, Rika hurriedly thanked the man in front of her. The man put his hands back into his pockets and responded in an indifferent tone.

"Nothing, she just happened to fly to my side, and I happened to catch her."

"Well, big brother is such a good person!"

"Mana, you can't just give out nice guy cards casually."

Rikka reminded Ai with some embarrassment, but after seeing the cute Ai-chan in Ai's arms, she couldn't help but reveal an expression of being touched by love.

"Thank you for helping Xia Lu!"
