Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

If you didn't have those things holding you back.

"Aren't you also shining brightly?"

Me.

If I want to shine with you, that's fine.

Chapter 71: Go and kill Ash!

"Congratulations, Qiluo!"

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

The result that Qiluo won the fashion show was soon published. Holding the fashion magazine with Qiluo wearing a skirt on the cover, friends such as Yao, Nan, and Wei came to announce the good news with their own blessings.

"Thank you." Qiluo calmly accepted everyone's kindness, without feeling too surprised.

"When Qiluo mentioned that there were problems at the agency, we were very worried... but it turns out that it's not a problem for Qiluo!"

"It's just the result of all my hard work," Qiluo said after a brief pause, her smile unchanged. "But this time, it wasn't just my efforts. After all, my agent this time is Ash."

"King...Ash?" Wei tilted her head. She still found it hard to believe that Ash, who would practice his evil grin in front of the mirror in his castle and had no idea what he was thinking, would do such a rational job.

"It's Ash?"

Haruka's mouth dropped open as she immediately thought of the time when Kirara and Ash didn't get along at all, and how they ended up parting ways on bad terms. Looking at Kirara's current state, she couldn't help but feel happy for them. "That's great! It seems even Ash can't resist Kirara-chan's charm!"

"Chunchun, don't suddenly say something that might make people embarrassed and misunderstand you."

To be honest, it’s hard to say who is the irresistible person.

As for the surprised Nanma...she was somewhat impressed by Qiluo.

"It's really difficult for you."

"Who says it's not?"

After opening the topic, Qiluo simply poured out her grievances to everyone. "You don't know, this Ash has been a devil since he became my manager!"

"They say they want to guarantee the best results, but they always train me to death, and then use that weird vegetable juice to force me to stay energetic. They're simply demons—!"

"Why do I see you guys plotting against me as soon as I come back?"

Ash entered the room carrying a bucket and a rag and as soon as he opened the door he saw Kirara and Haruka whispering to each other. The person they were whispering to was him. How rude of him!

"Because our story now has the character of Ash."

"Well, that's right. I will forgive your disrespect this time."

Seeing that it was so simple, Ash gave up his own problems. The few people with "how amazing" in their eyes immediately started chatting with Qiluo.

"I feel like Qiluo has changed a bit," Nan couldn't help but sigh as they chatted. "Before, Qiluo didn't really talk to us about work because she was afraid we'd worry."

"Oh, so Nan-chan already figured it out?" Qiluo, sensing Nan's intention and feeling the embarrassment that backfired like a boomerang, finally managed a smile. "In the past, I was indeed a bit too self-righteous and selfish... If there's another chance, I'd like to share my thoughts on dreams with everyone. Is that okay?"

"If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to listen."

"Of course!"

There was no doubt that none of them would blame Qi Luo before, and everyone agreed with the girl's statement.

"We're not friends just because we're both Pretty Cure." Haruka reached out to the still hesitant Kirara. "We're Pretty Cure fighting together because we're partners on the same path!"

"That's right, I feel the same way. Please continue to work hard together from now on, Qiluo, Xiaoyao."

"I...Is it okay if I'm not a Pretty Cure?"

"But you're our friend, aren't you, Weiwei?"

The girl, who was so happy that she laughed, held Wei's hand and happily connected with everyone.

Seeing such friendship and harmony, even the Lord of the Night, Ash, would smile.

"So, tomorrow is the Anu show of that famous critic, 'Boanu'?" Haruka, who was just imagining Kirara, felt a flicker in her eyes. "Great! Kirara's dream is about to come true. I guess I have to work harder!"

"What do you mean by 'achieved'? It's too early, Chunchun." The girl explained, playfully tapping her friend's head with a gentle, not-too-heavy hand. "My goal is to be at least like my mom, to be on the same stage as the world's top models. No matter how high my expectations are at this Boannu show, it's just a ticket to that goal. It's still a long way from being realized."

"What about this time?"

"I still have 100% confidence."

She turned around to see Ash wiping the table diligently, and the sense of security he felt made the girl naturally associate it with something.

King Ash, the genius who can do everything the best and still cooperates for me...ah~ I really want to dig him out and make him my own.

I, Qiluo, have the courage to think about it.

Of course, it’s too early for me to say this now~ At least we should wait until we become “Grand Princesses” and have enough power to defeat you!

Absolutely, we will free you from the shackles of the Kingdom of Night and turn you into our true friend!

"?"

Inexplicably, Ash felt a chill running up his spine.

What's going on? Am I being targeted?

------

"The Kingdom of Night...The King of Night...Ash."

The Kingdom of Hope, once filled with a bright sky, was now completely replaced by the pitch-black darkness of eternal night. And within the thorny castle, the Queen of Disdak, "Disbia," wearing a devilishly twisted mask, whispered someone's name.

"It's something that has never been heard of, and there's not even any record of it."

They originally thought that the "legendary warrior" recorded in the Kingdom of Hope would be their biggest enemy, Disdak, but they never expected that Ash would show up out of nowhere, and now they became the challengers.

Kroz was killed instantly, and after being humiliated many times, Shat had lost all his fighting spirit. So the only one his men could rely on now was...

"But that power."

Even Despia, who possesses a huge amount of despair energy, doesn't want to confront a character of this level head-on.

Even through the mask, one could see the frown on the lady's face.

"Bigger than hope, darker than despair...what is it?"

My daughter is due to arrive soon, and I was hoping to take over the Earth before then.

"Locke."

"Lady Despia."

Lock, the last of the three musketeers and a cadre of Distak, was a young man wearing a black and yellow devil's coat, holding a game console while waiting for the order from his immediate superior.

"Locke, go defeat Pretty Cure and that dark kiva who dared to insult me."

The game console, which was originally in good condition, fell to the ground, and even the screen was cracked.

"what?"

Thinking of what happened to his two colleagues, the boy was stunned on the spot.

"I?"

Chapter 72: Disdak’s Assassin?

“Vegetable juice…”

In order to maintain her model figure, Qiluo reluctantly agreed to Ash's request that she temporarily give up high-sugar and high-fat donuts. In exchange, the vegetable juice specially made for her must no longer contain the kind of medicinal ingredients that can directly make people faint.

But the price was the uniquely refreshing taste of this bubbling green liquid. She was a true sweetheart, unfazed by anyone, and now she was drinking this. After a fierce mental struggle, the girl, wearing a mask of pain, finally mustered the courage to gulp it down.

This is for my own stage, and also for my own... no, the dream of working hard with him. In this case, I must work harder!

"Gulu~Gulu~"

Ah... there is no such rushing punch to the head, but what is replaced by it is extremely unpalatable.

It's okay, Qiluo, you can't just focus on the downsides. Just like this bottle of vegetable juice, it's healthy and has only benefits and no downsides. Anyway, if you drink it more, you'll get used to it eventually.

"No, it's still too hard to drink!"

Qiluo stuck out her tongue, unable to understand what kind of recipe this was. It was clearly a mixture of juices from several leafy green plants, so why did it taste so bitter that she almost vomited her gastric juice?

"Who said you can get used to this kind of thing?... You'll never get used to it in your lifetime!"

Well, that's what Ash said.

Standing in front of the door of the tall building, the girl's gaze moved upwards and fixed on the floor where the office was located, which was also the only window with the lights still on in broad daylight.

Don’t guess, Qiluo knows it all. This started yesterday, right?

"It's said to be overtime this time, but it's too late, isn't it?"

I was a little worried and came here to take a look. Obviously, I am more familiar with this place than he is, but now I am the one who is nervous?

Clutching her handbag tightly, the girl pressed the elevator button to her floor.

"What are you still busy with?"

Today is the day of the Poanu Show. Have you finished all the efforts you should have made?

"What else could it be? It can only be your business, right?"

"You..." As for the sweet talk part... I always feel like you seem to be getting better at it, and it's not forced anymore.

No matter how many times I want to sigh, you really care about my affairs.

"Today is my show time, you know that, right?"

"I know, so that's what I'm busy with."

What the hell? Curiously, she flipped through a few pages of the paper Ash handed her. Looking at the various scenes described on the floor plan of the venue, the girl felt her head begin to spin.

"What are these?"

Why are there so many strange ninja-like things around my stage in the picture? Is Ash trying to say that even ninjas are here as spectators? They clearly don't exist.

"No, I didn't realize it before!" Ash stomped his chest and pounded his feet, muttering to himself, "I'm so slow." "The spotlight-filled stage you stepped onto is actually a perfect ambush site!"

"what?"

"Look at this." Ignoring the twitching expression on the girl's face, Ash continued to point. "For example, if you use a sniper rifle to snipe from here, or throw a shuriken from this angle, or attack from this direction, considering you don't intend to transform and reveal your true identity in public, isn't that very dangerous?"

Therefore, even I took the trouble to formulate a series of defense plans based on this.

"No, no, no—" the girl shook her head repeatedly, a glint of confusion gleaming in her blinking eyes. "Although this stage show is quite famous in the industry...why, as your proposal says, would there be a bunch of killers, assassins, ninjas, and the like coming to assassinate a model like me?"

You can make such a contingency plan even when nothing happens... What did you do before you became king? What did you experience that turned you into this?

"No?" Ash said, looking confused. "You're the Precure fighting Distak. Would they let go of such a good opportunity?"

"No, no, no. While it's true that we Pretty Cure are at odds with Distak," Kira shook her head even more frequently. "But their goal is to make all dreams in the world despair, then defeat us and steal our transformation keys. Simply causing such damage and then defeating us through cheating is meaningless to them."

Even if it's the enemy, they won't do that.

Qiluo feels that Ash doesn't understand Disdak.

"It's a good virtue to be able to think from the perspective of your enemy, but it's not good to think too simply."

Ash feels that Qiluo doesn't understand the word "enemy".

"And this." Ash pulled out a new map and thrust it into the girl's arms without hesitation. "If your office were to be attacked, I've also drawn up the necessary response plans and emergency escape routes."

"..."

Because he did such a great job, Qiluo didn't have any thoughts of complaining about him for a moment.

"Thank...thank you?"

Qiluo opened her mouth tentatively and found a chance to glance into her arms. She didn't know until she saw it that there were so many escape routes, which even she, an old acquaintance, didn't know about.

"So, what is Qiluo doing here?"

"It looks like it's going to rain outside." With this pretext, the girl pulled out a folding umbrella from her bag and handed it to Ash. "You never seem to leave an umbrella in the office, so I brought it to you."

Don't get me wrong, I'm not worried about you!
