Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Anyway, if you meet him, I hope you—"

Before he could finish his words, due to some interference, the image on the other side disappeared from the tablet with snowflakes.

"Even the prophecy of the Kingdom of Hope mentions this person." Nan's surprise remained thick on his face as he digested the overwhelming amount of information. "So, that Ash is truly remarkable..."

Not only does Pretty Cure have to fight against Destark, who takes away everyone's wishes, it's also really hard.

"No matter what, he is indeed a 'king'."

"If it's a king, then he's an evil king, right?" Qiluo counted on her fingers, detailing someone's crimes. "Let's not even talk about the truth of the prophecy. He attempted to invade Earth, abused his elves, used violence against us, raped our women, and even wanted to possess us..."

Glancing at Nan beside her, Qiluo gritted her teeth and pressed down her last finger. "And sexual harassment! Chunchun, you're right. This is the kind of tyrant who is so evil that he must be brought down!"

Even if there are some differences in the prophecies, they are definitely similar in the bad aspects!

"But it's no use saying this now. I think he's probably just waiting for us to show our weakness next time."

After all, he is a king after all. It is impossible for him to hang around us all day without doing any work, right?

"Have you heard about that new janitor at Noble School? It seems—"

"Yes, I've heard of him! He's super handsome—"

what happened?

Just at the right time, the sound of conversation passing by the door of the Second Student Union Room attracted the attention of several people. When they opened the door and looked at the lawn outside, they found that quite a few people had gathered at the school gate.

For "Noble College", an aristocratic school, it's rare for students to be so excited.

Seeing the slightly crowded group of female students and the voices of "Let me see!", Kaito Nan, as the student council president, naturally would not turn a blind eye.

"Why is it so crowded?"

"Ah, President!" The students who saw the person coming calmly made way, allowing them to see the person behind them clearly.

One of them was Mrs. Platinum, the dorm manager, whom they knew so well that they couldn't be more familiar with her. As for the man in the blue-gray uniform and baseball cap standing next to her...for some reason, a sense of familiarity and a chill crept up their backs.

"Mrs. Platinum, who is this?"

"Hmm." The squinting old woman pushed up her glasses. "Strange things seem to be happening at Noble College lately. For the students' safety, the dean has decided to hire an extra janitor."

"It's great that you're here, Nan. You can also hand over the student union matters to him."

"Yes." Nan, representing the student union, had no objection to the school's arrangement and greeted him with impeccable etiquette: "Hello, I'm the student union president of Noble College - Hai Teng Nan. Regarding the student union..."

"I already know your name."

"?"

When the man raised the corner of his cap with his fingers spread out, Nan's confusion was quickly replaced by incomprehensible astonishment.

"Yo."

Ash smiled at their surprised expressions and greeted them.

"Are you satisfied with yesterday's gift?"

Chapter 21: Janitor Ash makes his grand appearance!

"..."

Maybe it was because they had been surprised too many times before, but when they saw Ash in the janitor's uniform smiling at them, the three Pretty Cure felt nothing but numbness.

Of course, there's also the possibility that he was completely stunned by the brutality of Yaxiu's actions.

"This is Mr. Ash." Mrs. Platinum, who was introducing him to the students, was taken aback when she saw this man take the initiative to greet her. "Mr. Ash, did you meet Nan and the others in advance?"

"That's right." Seeing Nanase Yui, who had arrived late with an eclair in hand, her mouth wide open, about to scream, the man, who had quietly closed one eye, placed his index finger over his lips as a hint. "I met you a while ago, and you ladies really made a deep impression on me. I'm quite attracted to you."

"I like it very much... It seems that the students of Noble School are very polite even when they are outside." Mrs. Platinum, who thought Ash was praising them in another way, smiled kindly. "It seems that we can save some time on introductions. It would be great if we can continue to get along harmoniously through this relationship."

"Of course, my pleasure."

Seeing Ash responding to his elders with perfect etiquette, the girls felt their hearts and mouths twitch uncontrollably.

I've never seen you so polite to us before...but now you're so impeccable, right?

"Hello, gentlemen and ladies of Noble College."

As Noble College tends to have a closed management style, the occasional appearance of newcomers can indeed greatly arouse the students' interest, especially when a guy like Ash, who looks extraordinary in every way, greets them in a relaxed tone, it is even more amazing.

"Wow, that's really handsome!"

"Look here, right? You're definitely looking at me!"

"Damn it, what's wrong with this unwilling feeling...?!"

Some people were beating their chests and stamping their feet, some were becoming infatuated with them, and even though Ash was just an ordinary school worker in terms of position, he had quickly become friends with the students who had come here.

"Class, I've heard rumors about Noble Academy." Ash raised his hand, motioning for silence, and the students actually stopped. "Some say they saw giant monsters with black chains at school. Some say they saw female warriors in beautiful dresses fighting these monsters."

"I can assure you that as long as I'm here, you won't have to worry about the problems plaguing your college life!"

Although I've decided to postpone my plan to conquer Earth and become the new captain, as the saying goes, "In times of peace, be prepared for danger!"...is that how it works? Anyway, for future development, it's a good idea to start small and get used to this new world.

Why not just do it for the "princess" and try starting as a low-level school worker with the goal of completely taking control of this academy!

"As long as I'm here, no one can threaten your safety. That's why I'm here!"

“It’s started again…”

Looking at Ash, who had already begun to incite the students with an inexplicable tone, Nan shook her head in distress. For some reason, she thought of the elves being ordered around by him. Could he have already regarded Noble Academy as his own kingdom?

The Pretty Cures now have a thousand questions to ask him, but considering that the person opposite them is Ash, it is really unknown how he will answer.

"What's the threat to safety? You're the one who's in danger, aren't you?"

She continued to murmur in dissatisfaction. Although she did not hold a completely opposed opinion like Qiluo, it was really too difficult for her to have an eye on Ash's future activities in Noble College for an unknown purpose.

"What's wrong, Haruno-san~"

"Nothing... eh?!" The face that suddenly came close to her scared Haruka so much that she almost jumped up and hit her head against the ceiling.

After saying goodbye to the other classmates who were unaware of the truth, the Pretty Cure, who had been following Ash all the way out of her turmoil and didn't dare to trust him at all, soon followed him into the corridor of the office building.

"You've been mumbling about something in a daze, so I've learned to address you the way your classmates address you. It seems to be working." Nodding with satisfaction at the girl's angry response, Ash turned and called out to the other two who were still standing nearby. "Well, then, please help me walk ahead."

"...Why should we lead the way for you?"

"I don't know how to get to my office, so I'll ask you to lead the way." The man spoke without hesitation, making the girl clench her fists. "Besides, isn't it a tradition at Noble College to help newcomers?"

"hiss--"

You, the tyrant, want to seize the earth, so you beat us up without saying a word. Now we, the Pretty Cure, have to act as your guide to show you your destination.

Qiluo hardened her fist, and was so angry that she hardened her fist at the smiling expression on her face.

Ah, calm down, calm down, Kirara! Princess Mitsumi must be strong, gentle, and beautiful! ...Otherwise, why would we call ourselves Pretty Cure?

For Kirara, becoming Pretty Cure is like walking on a catwalk like a model carrying the baggage of a role, and she must not easily fail in front of such people.

Humph, I've long seen through your sweet talk. You're just trying to make us reveal more flaws!

"You...really have a talent for making people angry."

Qiluo, who had debuted as a runway model early on and had developed a strong mental fortitude, hadn't been this angry with anyone in ages. Even when she faced Destaq, who was trying to seize hope from the Castle of Despair, she hadn't gotten this angry.

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Pfft, I'm not praising you anymore!"

He bowed politely to her again. Qiluo burst out laughing when she saw it. She was so angry that she laughed.

Completely unaware of Kirara's mental turmoil, Ash naturally bypassed Haruka, who likely knew no more than he did, and spoke to the silent Minami. "So, Mr. Student Council President, regarding what Ms. Shirogane said, I can ask you if I have any questions."

"Ugh."

The blue-haired girl sighed and couldn't help but fiddle with her pigtails with her fingers while walking further forward.

"Don't forget your things, come with me."

In any case, if Ash didn't intend to "break the rules" directly, Kaito Nan, who still wanted to remain calm and elegant, decided not to bother with him.

"So~"

Unfortunately, no matter what she thought, Ash didn't seem to have any intention of letting them go.

"How was yesterday's gift?!"

Thinking of the piece of erotic hollowed-out bra she wore yesterday that revealed everything that should and shouldn't be exposed, like a work of art, Nan couldn't help but blush.

"How can you give someone...something like this?"

I can understand giving away clothes, but what's your plan for giving away underwear... By the way, how did you know my size?!

Chapter 22: Who is it for?

"Well, you are really satisfied, right?"

Ignoring Nan's protests and Qiluo's "Are you taking the right medicine?" stare, Ash, still thinking about the gift, continued to talk. "Of course. After all, every gift is tailored to the recipient!"

Of course, the advice from our think tank is also indispensable! They are indeed my gears, and they are as useful as me!

"Tailor-made...what do you mean?" Thinking of the breast enhancement pills she'd thrown away, Qiluo, feeling inexplicably disparaged, suppressed her embarrassment and mentally reiterated her composure. "But I'm sorry, we don't accept gifts from strangers. I'm truly sorry to have let the king's kindness go to waste."

"Stranger? You're all women who could become my queens someday." Qiluo looked at him with a look of "You don't understand at all, do you?" Ash nodded proudly. "Because of that, I forgive you for the gifts, just as you said, but..."

"You don't like it? Oh, I see. The gift you really want is [me], right?"

"What a greedy woman you are! But it's okay. The magnanimous Lord Ash will not only forgive you for what happened before, but will also allow you to possess me now!"

"But my love is so huge, you can only find a way to share it~"

Seeing the three people's stunned faces, Ash clenched his fist and said "yes" proudly in his heart.

Ha! I didn't believe what that book said at first, but it turns out true knowledge comes from practice! This really makes me think this is the relationship guide my half recommended. It's actually very useful!

There's nothing I can do. After all, I am a king. Now that the "kingly aura" described in the book has been successfully revealed, they can't resist their love for me, right?

"If you think that way, oh, I'm such a sinful man."

"Ash...Mr."

"What's wrong, Kirara-chan~!"

"No matter what you say from now on...I will try my best to pretend I didn't hear it."

The three people's moods were exactly the same at this moment. The girl, who was acting as a mouthpiece for everyone, immediately shut her mouth after she finished speaking quietly.

"what?"

Why? According to the book, shouldn't you be incredibly moved and fall in love with me at first sight?

"Excuse me, but you're trying to suppress your desire to connect with me? You'll probably be the first to hold back on this kind of thing... Hey! Hey—!!"

They maintained a tacit understanding until they reached the door of their destination, and no matter what the people behind them said, they continued to maintain the same silence.

"We're here—cough!"

When the office, which had been vacant and used as a storage room, was opened, the overwhelming dust brought the completely unprepared girls to tears. Compared to their unpreparedness, Ash walked in as if nothing had happened, quickly pulling out cleaning tools and skillfully swishing about.

"Okay, so fast!"

In what seemed like the blink of an eye, the entire office was cleared back to its original state, including the neatly stacked mess. The girls, who had been prepared to be dragged into the cleaning, now looked in surprise at Ash, who, contrary to their expectations, was spinning around in his office chair.

"How was it? Was it different from what you expected?" Ash, with his feet propped up on the desk in front of him, spoke with a half-smile, already anticipating what they would say. "How do you think I managed to pass your college interview? By cheating? Don't underestimate me!"

"My title as King is not inherited. My invincible strength and genius are the reason I became King!"

Do you think that cleaning, a simple thing, is incompetent for a king like me? Naive! Because I'm the king, I'm stronger than my subordinates. No matter what I do, I'm no match for anyone!

He also placed some souvenirs given to him by the elves on the table, and Ash poked the head of one of the little dolls with interest.

"Okay, that's great."

Although they were enemies, she still felt deeply moved.

Facing this "King", Haruka, who also dreams of becoming a "Princess", perhaps because of some common reason, couldn't help but ask him again:

"King Ash... If you're a king, why did you come to our school to apply for a job as a janitor?"
