Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Then I will make an absolute mistake that belongs only to you!

Because there is no right or wrong in liking someone.

The red girl destroyed by love is laughing wildly, and the black man saved by love is silent.

But no matter what, Ash will never give up until the very end, and there is only one thing he needs to do.

"[Heart Catch CureRide]"

Colorful ribbons of light swirled behind the girls. The girls in white dresses joined forces with Ash to push Hui back! The pink girl rushed towards the dark Hui first!

[Look at me—Woo-wah!]

"Who?" After making way, he slapped Lei away with a heavy palm. Hui didn't think she was his opponent, but stared at Yueying Lily behind him with an even more ferocious look.

"That's the mouth that kissed Ash!" In the blink of an eye, Hui, who was in front of the purple-haired girl, raised her hand and swung it, revealing her palm, which was gleaming with blood and murderous light. "That's obviously my reward, watch me tear your face apart!"

The soft fingers turned into sharp points that could easily tear through steel. Even though they appeared with the power of a super silhouette, in front of the lovely queen who was so terrifying and desperate at this moment, Lily could only keep retreating to maintain this dangerous situation!

"!"

It was at this critical moment that Goki and Ash, who rushed in side by side, used their tacitly coordinated attacks to repel Hui. After the two knocked off her bright red claws, Erika, who arrived later but was the first to arrive, knocked Hui out again with her butt.

"Hahaha, that sounds so nice..."

Looking at the girls in pure white standing side by side with Ash, Hui felt like laughing again.

Aren't they the "culprits" who caused you to be like this? Ash, now you want to rely on their power instead of turning to me?

"That's really too much~ Ash is really good at making her sad."

Surround her! Without even a glance, the Heart Grabbers understood and surrounded Hui from all sides. Just as they were about to strike her down with a powerful punch, Hui, her lips curled slightly, suddenly summoned her scepter and lightly leaped up. Switching positions, she effortlessly dodged all the attacks.

Wait, this is it! Ash, inwardly screaming "Oh no!", retreated immediately at the strangely familiar movement. However, the Heartgrab's projections weren't so lucky. Kei, having forcefully yanked out his scepter, dislodged their arms with a deft, familiar technique. With a simple twirl of his arm, he severed the four figures, dispersing them.

"This is... my way of fighting!"

Seeing Hui "eliminating" the people he cared about one by one in front of him, Ash naturally felt very uncomfortable.

But please, if only now, lend me your strength! Lend it to me to mend the worst of her heart!

"That's right, did you see that, Ash? It's your power that protected me. Thank you!"

That's right.

This is my love for you, which is absolutely incomparable to any of them! Only I, only I am the strongest!

I, who possess the power of "love", am undoubtedly the strongest!

The damage she suffered continued to accumulate, but Hui's momentum and strength continued to increase. When wave after wave of air waves splashed past her feet, a cyclone-like light continued to spin and rise behind her.

"Ash, what exactly are you planning on doing by summoning them all the time?"

Even you should have noticed that seeing them only makes me angrier and stronger! Do you really think they can surpass my invincible love? Can they help you defeat me?!

"Was it your original wish to see the people you love most killed by me one by one?!"

As expected, your heart is still that cruel one——

"I'll destroy it."

"destroy?"

After being stunned by the words that suddenly came out of Ash's mouth, Hui recalled the words that an old man had told her about Ash that day. He said that Ash was a "destroyer of the world" who would destroy everything in the world...

Could it be that the person you want to destroy is... me?!

"Megumi, I understand. You've been affected by an overwhelming force of darkness and negativity, and that's what's become of you. This unpleasant feeling has distorted your definition of love and hate." K removed the touchscreen from his belt. The emblems on it gradually dimmed, and the options for responding became fewer and fewer. "I know how painful this is, so I don't blame you."

System... Because of Him, I directed my anger toward you, causing persecution and all this. But the true fault is neither Him nor you; this is simply a tragic accident.

Dust said I couldn't change, that I couldn't change, so I kept repeating the past tragedies. But everyone and Jing told me that only by changing could I save them... I don't know what I am.

But I seem to have found the true goal and meaning that belongs only to me!

"Then, I will destroy this world, this darkness, the distortion caused by your excessive obsession with me... anything that binds you!"

Ash looked at Hui's open palm and squeezed it tightly again.

"Then, reconnect my relationship with you, my feelings for you, and everything about Ainoe once again!" Just like I have done countless times in the past!

“That’s all I can do now!”

"[Smile CureRide!]"

Pressing the heart-shaped emblem on the touch screen, Miyuki, Reika and the others in princess mode, and even the pure and flawless Ayumi appeared beside him. Everyone stepped into this dark world with Ash and stood in front of Kei with his eyes wide open.

"This is what I should do now!"

Chapter 242: Take Love Back! (4K5 chapters)

Are you the pink one, the Hoshizora Miyuki?

"Weren't you also clearly deeply hurt by him?"

"Indeed." The girl, completely enveloped in a fairytale glow, folded her arms over her chest. "But I still want to continue gazing at him with those gentle eyes."

The one in white, you are Ayumi Sakagami!

"He is not. He also took away the one you loved—"

[Even so.] The pure light of the soul accumulated and spread in the girl's palm. [The being I love is indeed called Ash. I will never forget this encounter. My love is always here!]

The projections didn't have the ability to convey words, but their thoughts across the distant world still reached the two of them.

“Ah…Ahh!”

Hui, muttering without thinking, couldn't help but take two steps back in front of them, her red pupils trembling violently in her eye sockets.

"Destroyed...broken! No, no, no! Everything is wrong and broken!"

Destroy everything?

Connect everything?

How can I accept this...With them now, can you still accept me?

Can't you accept this? Are you going to abandon me again and stop loving me?!

"Ahhh... My love! Those guys took it away from Ash!!!"

The brilliance of fantasy and the echo of the soul, the effect of the double brilliance turned into a rising sun that lit up under the feet of the girls, until it completely enveloped Ayumi, Miyuki, and Megumi.

"Everyone..."

Ash watched the rising sun until its light gradually faded. He saw Kei, the only one left from the light that had dispelled all darkness, slowly emerge. Her originally jet-black clothes faded in the sunlight, her golden hair faded back to its original color, and the only thing left was her pair of eyes, still bright red and sparkling.

"Are you still going to choose them anyway?"

A thin line of silver light slid down the corner of the eye and the contour of the cheek, gathering into crystal drops on the chin.

Facing Hui who was in a strange state at the moment, Akane in princess mode raised her hand and took a step forward to protect Ash behind her, but Ash took the initiative to push her hand away and they stood side by side.

"I didn't choose them, they chose me."

Reika, Yayoi, Nao, one Pretty Cure after another stood together with Ash.

"It's just a memory from the past. Do you still want to play this kind of friendship game with them?!"

"You understood it in the past, but it seems you don't understand it now."

So Lian Hui also lost her ability to speak, and the rest of the time was nothing but fighting and killing.

However, her goal was extremely clear. Ash summoned the Pretty Cures of the past to use their power to weaken the dark nature of Hui, but Hui was indeed specifically targeting their figures and beating them, again and again, constantly cutting off the figures that represented Ash's past ties.

"Ash, those Pretty Cure girls you like can no longer protect you."

You must be feeling great as you witness your loved ones being shattered one by one by me!

Crushing the fairy-like blue along with the ice crystals under his feet, Hui wanted to laugh heartily but found that no matter what he did, he could only make an extremely dry sound.

Already, I'm almost not going to laugh anymore.

"See? Before my love, their so-called bond with you was just that. The truly powerful thing is the love between you and me, right?"

So please, acknowledge me, acknowledge me more!

"Ai... Lei, Miyuki, Ayumi, everyone is my best comrade, willing to sacrifice their strength for me even in this situation. And, you didn't defeat everyone—"

The knight, without showing any fear, maintained his steel-like strength and suddenly pressed the last icon on K's touch screen in front of Hui.

"It represents the power of love. Here's another one!"

"[Happiness Charge Cure Ride Forever]"

"My powerful and most wonderful companion, there is one more!"

Pure.

Radiant.

A blend of white and pink, the goddess also known for love and happiness appeared in front of Hui, whose expression was frozen.

“Ah…Ah! Ahhhhh!!!”

Looking at the all-too-familiar, equally powerful figure filled with love and happiness standing beside Ash with a perfect smile, Megumi's mouth dropped open, her eyes wide, an inexplicable shock shaking her soul, causing her to reveal an expression far more twisted, hideous, desperate, and terrifying than ever before.

Then, she heard "the other party" proudly calling out the names in her own voice, with that once extremely passionate and high voice.

"Eternal love that illuminates the world! Forever Lovely (Eternal Love Angel)!"

That happy expression.

That gesture of power and love.

That was the future she was supposed to become but ultimately failed to achieve.

"You can't! You damn well can't!"

Looking at the Angel of Eternal Love standing shoulder to shoulder with Ash at this moment, Hui let out a howl that was far more sad than any time before. This howl was like that of a victim who could only watch others take away his important things.

The person standing next to Ash over there should be me! It should be the real me!

I am Ainoe!

"Is your bond with them that important? Do you like Pretty Cure that much?!"

The love I poured everything into...is it now becoming someone else's?

but...

The desperate loss and sadness quickly turned into even heavier hatred in the blink of an eye, and the bright red eyes flashed with a gaze that was enough to devour people... No!

"Here!"

The crimson ray of destruction passed through the two people who were dodging quickly, and now even her gaze had truly become her tool of killing.

"What's the point of summoning a weak imposter at this point? Just get rid of this eyesore!"

Lightning bolts of lightning flowed in his hands, and the dark light of love condensed in his palms again. A move even more terrifying than the one that almost killed the system was blasted away by Hui, and the "Hui" that was summoned simply stood in front of and behind Yaxiu and raised his hands.

The devastating force instantly distorted the very space and time of this small world. The destructive light, unleashed with all her might in her rage, lingered for a long moment. When the smoke and dust cleared, she saw a hand composed of pink energy perfectly blocking the blow, then clenching its fist and firing it back at her.

"How could it be? He's obviously just an imposter, how could he have such power?!"

After shattering the rocket fist shot towards her and raising her hand to block the cute ray that followed, the cute queen's face became even gloomier.

"Don't you understand yet, Kei?" Ash and the Eternal Lovely Angel's combined attack sent the panicked Queen retreating. "Even now, this is also the true source of your power."

"With a pure and kind heart that acts for love and for the happiness of all, let your side also help me resist your own distortion!" With that, Ash blocked Kei's counterattack, and the eternally lovely angel suddenly attacked with a fierce tiger climbing a mountain, sending her flying again with a rumbling blow. "The one fighting you now is your true self!"

"Stop! You're saying this is my love?!"

Are you trying to say... that perfect posture, that power that's even greater than my peak self, that's how I should be?

Yes, because Ash is a dark being, he needs complementary light, so those girls who have always been on the side of light can leave their own traces around Ash.

Before I made the mistake, when I was still a cute angel, I clearly loved Ash and was loved by him, but now...

The light bombardment that originally belonged to her made the sticky black of hatred on Hui's body become darker and darker! And those heavy blows that Ash blasted straight at her after breaking through the darkness, Hui who kept screaming realized that as the reflection continued, something was constantly being peeled away from her body.

"My hatred is gradually weakening!"
