Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Chapter 98 The Princess Who Goes Well and the Princess Who Doesn’t Go Well

"Wow, a spy? That's a fresh outfit."

His previously impatience turned into a genuinely smug smile upon seeing them. "But you're all following me like this... oh my, I must be a sinner to be so loved by girls."

"Today is truly a memorable first time I've been stalked by a loving admirer! I need to make a good record of this!"

Hmm! When we get back, we'll have them written down in the annals of the Kingdom of Night!

"Stop being so cocky!"

Qiluo, who was used to his pretentiousness, took off her sunglasses and her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the lonely Twilight in the distance who no one dared to approach.

"Are you really going to leave her here alone like this?"

To be honest, this did give them a new understanding of how fickle Ash was. She originally thought that as long as she was a pretty girl, anyone would be fine.

"Of course not, but if she can't understand some things clearly on her own."

With his hands folded across his chest, Ash spoke meaningfully.

"No matter how hard I try, it's meaningless."

"So," Nan raised his hand after hearing this. "Are you really not... planning to attack Twilight?"

Of course, Ash had discovered how lame they were in following him.

It's obvious that he still has the old stereotype, thinking that I would do something bad to a girl? Really, I've become a "pure love party" now, and you still don't believe me?

"What else do you think I am?"

Ash's somewhat displeased glances passed across the faces of the three people with subtle expressions.

"A SEX king obsessed with sex? Ha~ If that were the case, I would have pinned you down and fucked you hard the first time I defeated you, first OO, then XX, and finally ████'s [DATA EXPUNGED] defeat CG!"

Ash's speech full of bad jokes made these innocent little girls feel extremely embarrassed. Seeing these princesses who were so confused by his few words but were too embarrassed to speak, the man let out a smug hum from his throat.

How rude! I am pure love!

Purely loving the "love" of everyone I like!

Compared to me, you guys... huh~ are just little girls who don't understand the beauty of it~

"But I don't deny that if things get their way, I'd do something to her too~!"

"Alright, alright!" Ash had said so much, his face flushed crimson. Nan, feeling incredibly ashamed, pushed him back with both hands, feeling as if she were about to collapse. "It's our fault! Stop it! We don't mean to disbelieve you!"

"Oh...what is that?"

"It's just..." One of the girls, looking slightly sideways, muttered under Ash's repeated "questioning." "It's just that I saw you, Ash, set your sights on another princess after us, and the thought of you doing this and that to her, this development..."

It's like what Ash did to us before, and now it happens to her... No, actually, it has already started, right?

It’s a bit unpleasant to think that your “position” will be used for someone else. No one wants to be a stepping stone or meal substitute for others.

"Besides, if Ash were to side with Distak...it would be terrible and very sad for us."

Hmm...what does that mean?

Such roundabout words made Ash stunned for a moment, but then he figured it out with his amazing wisdom!

If you put it that way—I guess I’m actually jealous after all!

There are complicated explanations for the complexity, but to put it simply, this is it!

"Alas~ This is indeed my fault. Let me put it this way, I promise not to leave any of you behind from now on. Whether it's a date or love, I will fill you up until you are satisfied!"

Ash's sudden sweet words caught these girls, who had not yet recovered from their previous shame, off guard.

"No, no way! Who said we were thinking about this? You even said you weren't possessed by the O-worm!"

Such an excited reaction, Ash always believes that denial is affirmation. Of course, he was delighted that the area where he was still working hard unexpectedly triggered huge actual progress on other routes.

"Hehe~ You really have fallen in love with me, right? Then come back to the Kingdom of Night with me and marry me right away—"

When he thought of this, the bad time he had with Twilight before was nothing. He was smiling brightly now!

"Don't say that. We're already yours. Even if it's true... it wouldn't be this fast!"

"Hmm...how many layers should the cake have?"

"Listen to what others say!"

Ash's series of subtitles caused chaos among them again. Now no matter how they explained, Ash looked like he had them in his hands. This made the girls feel a kind of unprecedented joy besides helplessness.

This is different from before. Now when I get along with Ash like this, I feel a kind of simple happiness.

"Ash."

They had laughed and played around, but Haruka was still worried and started asking him questions.

"Do you want to save and change Twilight?"

"Who knows?" Ash shook his head, seemingly nonchalant due to his previous disappointment. "Originally, I thought that as a rare true princess, she might be able to show me something different. Who knows... What an unpleasant attitude."

"Maybe I was mistaken."

"I think... that's not necessarily the case."

Unexpectedly, it was Haruka who spoke up for Twilight, the person she was so jealous of before.

When Haruka saw how attentive and intimate Ash was on a date with the other person, she inexplicably felt a bad mood as if something close to her was taken away. This feeling, which had never appeared before, even made her feel a little guilty for a while.

But now, seeing Twilight being "abandoned" and hearing Ash say such words, she seemed a little distressed.

"Xiaoyao?"

Even with Nandu's somewhat confused look, Yao expressed her thoughts.

"Love is a matter between two people. Ash can't just focus on one side of the problem."

"Love is a matter between two people. It's my fault for thinking too much about myself..."

Muttering Ash's last words, Twilight's eyes, no longer arrogant, carefully showed a pensive will.

Before I realized it, I never had any idea about it, but now that I am with this "Ash", I have different ideas!

I... am really becoming more and more curious about what love is.

After a series of ideological struggles in her heart, Twilight walked slowly towards Ash's departing back with a solemn expression.

Chapter 99: Where to meet? The girls have their own plans.

"Not just from Princess Twilight's perspective, Ash, how about trying to think from another direction?"

Yao knew and understood Nan and the others' surprise. And perhaps her own unusual behavior...

It was his admiration for the princess, and the passion she showed when she taught him the violin, beyond her tricks...

Make yourself want to do something in return, right?

"Look, Ash, you wanted to take her to fun, interesting places." Haruka immediately grabbed everyone's attention and continued her explanation clearly. "But these places, the arcades and the like... you wanted to go there yourself, right?"

"Yeah? What's wrong?"

Isn't a date all about having fun? That's why I specifically picked the ones with the most fun. Besides, didn't you have a lot of fun last time? Our relationship has definitely improved since we came back!

"That won't work. Girls may not necessarily share your preferences."

What's more, it's a princess like Twilight who is in seclusion. I thought you would understand, Ash...

"In that case, I do have a suggestion."

"Really?" Listening to Haruka's serious and well-reasoned words, Ash rolled his eyes and stared at them directly. "Suggestion."

"In that case, what suggestions do you have for a date location?"

"Eh?"

Asking the girls directly about other girls' strategies in front of them was, to some extent, a brilliant and ingenious idea on Ash's part. However, the girls, who were somewhat used to it, didn't mean to embarrass him, and instead gave him answers with some excitement.

Haruno Haruka: "Garden! The largest garden in the city. I heard that flowers from different seasons bloom simultaneously in a special pavilion, right?"

Kaito Nan: "Is the zoo better? The aquarium is also good, especially this month there will be a penguin exhibition at the aquarium!"

Kirara Amanokawa: "Need I ask? The movie theater, of course! Hehe, it's great that all the weekend shows this season are famous romance movies! Isn't this just perfect!"

Thinking... pondering, a light bulb of sudden enlightenment lit up in Ash's head.

"You've talked about so much, these are all places you'd like to go if you were on a date, right?"

You're talking about me...Aren't you all the same?

Ash understood completely.

"Hey... So you guys want to go to a place like this for a date? Yeah! I get it, I get it!"

Don't worry, I've got it all down. It just so happens that I promised to go on a date with you guys as proof of my impartiality, and now it's all going to come back like a boomerang to you guys!

"Cough cough!"

The girls, whose thoughts were exposed, turned their heads away in tacit understanding, but Ash did get a revelation from their words.

The key point is the "like" part, right?

Wait, like?

In a trance, Ash seemed to remember something.

"Like, just like I like Pretty Cure... No, like and admire Haruka and the others now?"

The reason why he wanted Haruka and the others to be his princesses at the beginning was because they were Pretty Cure.

Later, he wanted these princesses to like him because he admitted his feelings for women like Haruno Haruka, Umito Minami, and Amanokawa Kirara.

The current contact with Twilight is partly because the other person's appearance is very much to his liking, but the more important reason is what Yao reminded him of, the "flash" that seems to be hidden under the dark shell.

But now, he found nothing, the princess was really just a princess.

'Wait a moment?'

The cry from the bottom of his heart suddenly made Ash feel a boomerang-like mark.

Such a self-centered feeling...hiss! Isn't this the same state as when I first met Haruka and the others?

When I think about it carefully, I always like to break the situation with violence when I find it troublesome. The reason why I didn't get humiliated by Yao and the others like I did now is that I don't lose my gentleness even when they reject me.

So...I am actually tolerated by them in this kind of place?

It was not until now, when he was interacting with Twilight, who appeared even more indifferent to him, that Ash discovered this blind spot that he had subconsciously ignored.

"It's been tough, Haruka~" Qiluo said with a sigh at Haruka's earlier seriousness. "You're clearly unhappy about something, yet you're still giving advice to your enemies."

Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to do it. Sometimes I can be very selfish.

"No, it's nothing hard."

Looking at someone on the other side who was about to return to the "battlefield" and was muttering something, the girl, whose eyes were always gentle yet strong, shook her head slightly.

"I just hope that everyone can live in harmony and realize the world of our dreams."

It sounds simple, but it must be extremely difficult to do? But even so, it's fine this way.

"As for Ash, his dream might be to take us all into his Crystal Palace."

Lian Nan also joined in the joking topic, and as everyone was chatting and joking about topics related to Ash.

"In that case, Ash is actually someone who is working hard to achieve his dreams just like us? Hmm...even though it's hard to understand, we should still cheer for him, right?"

"Haha, Chunchun~ what are you talking about~"

Just as the topic was gradually going off track, they also noticed that Ash on the other side suddenly turned around and looked at them with a serious face.

"The things before, no, the things before."

"I..."

Thank you, thank you for your "strength".

"..."
