Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Who knows, though."

Qi Luo shook the non-alcoholic drink in her hand skillfully and drank it all in one gulp, laughing with her companions.

"If I'm with Ash, I'll never be bored."

Chapter 110: Ash's second expedition!

Placing the "Lily Key" awakened in the battle with Twilight together with other costume keys, the girls enjoyed this scene with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

"Now we have collected all nine costume keys, and we are only three away from becoming the Grand Princess!"

“This is truly an achievement worth celebrating!”

She grew up to be a Pretty Cure and has been fighting against the Distacks who took away everyone's dreams, with Ash also interfering in the process.

Nan recounted the stories that happened with these keys. Except for the key that was given to them for transformation at the beginning, the power of each key after that was many times greater than the previous one. The enemies defeated along the way were the best proof of this.

Today's princesses and pretty girls are completely different from their weak predecessors when they first appeared.

"Pretty Cure's power is still growing, and this time she even defeated a powerful foe like Twilight... If that's the case, we'll one day have the power to fight against the Witch of Despair, right?"

"But, in this case."

Qiluo was a little distressed. When it came to this debate, Ash's question was an obstacle that could not be avoided.

"Can we fight Ash now?"

“It’s hard to say…”

Even Hai Tengnan, who is always the most serious, can only make some vague statements at this time. After all, the strength that Ash has always shown is really vague enough. It is better to say that he has always looked like he is very good at picking up girls, just like an iceberg floating on the water, no one knows how big it is underneath.

"That armor, called Dark Kiva, is incredibly strong. Our simple attacks can't even break through its defenses." Nan, who was discussing combat strength with everyone, didn't notice that the keys, which had been quietly placed on the table, were now trembling slightly, as if they were about to gather together. "Even putting that aside, Ash's personal martial arts skills are beyond our reach."

Even an outsider could see the difference between the Pretty Cure's slightly immature fighting style after her transformation and her well-honed combat skills. The difference was like that between the minor league and the major league.

"Not to mention, there's that incredibly powerful yet flexible fighting force he rarely unleashes..." Thinking of the powerful emblem power he'd seen Ash unleash before, Nan felt even more distressed. "The actual results of the battle... weren't promising."

It's strong, fast, invincible, and can read commands. It even has a high probability of having two or three stages... Why would you let this kind of dung monster be the boss in the early stage!

"Ah! It's so painful to think about letting someone like this do whatever he wants with his own strength!"

However, the girls felt somewhat relieved when they thought of this. After all, he turned all his attention to himself after being fascinated by them. At least he did not directly invade the earth to harm other people.

"But we don't need to be enemies with Ash anymore, right?"

"Oh, how do you say this?"

After hearing Yao's words, everyone's attention was suddenly focused on her again.

"After all, Ash's motives are quite impure. What if he suddenly doesn't want to play games with us and just captures us and takes us to his castle to add to his harem?"

After all, the impression of "freedom" that Ash had left on the other two was too deep. Even though their contact with each other has slowed down now, they couldn't help but express their feelings like this in their hearts.

After all, this is Ash! Who knows what he will do?

"No, he won't."

Taking the cups and plates left by the little bat to the sink nearby, Yao washed everyone's tea sets while maintaining a firm trust.

She had actually thought so before, but now.

There's no big reason.

It's probably just a natural thought that comes from spending so much time with Ash and witnessing some of his changes, right?

"why?"

"Maybe because... he really likes us?"

Haruka gave an unexpected answer with a shy smile.

"He must be very cherishing of the people he likes."

"So, Haruka, what I want to ask is why?"

"Because... probably..."

The first thing that came to Yao's mind was the beautiful memories left by the solo that King dedicated to her when she was a child.

"Because Ash is the king!"

Although he's probably quite different from the king I know...

But it's almost the same. I should trust him more and let him trust me more.

"Chunchun, you are really obsessed with these..."

"Amanokawa-san, Haruno-san!" Nan suddenly shouted, so flustered and nervous that he even called out the two by their last names. "The key! Look over there!"

"Eh?"

Following Nan's hint, the two looked at the key on the table and saw a door with dazzling and rippled light opening in front of them.

"Everyone."

After saying goodbye to Ash who hurriedly left on the other side, Wei brought the elf cookies she received as a gift in the Kingdom of Night, ready to share with everyone.

"These are gifts from the other side! They're delicious. Let's eat them together—"

As she made more friends, her shyness gradually disappeared and she gained more confidence. As soon as Wei opened the door, that smiling face was fixed on her face.

"Everyone?"

There was no one here, only a gust of wind quietly blowing through the empty room.

"is it?"

Wei put down the biscuits, and although she didn't know what had happened before, she inexplicably understood it.

No wonder Ash also looked so anxious.

and so.

Am I being left behind again?

------

The news that King Ash was preparing to go on another expedition ignited excitement throughout the Kingdom of Night.

"Somebody come!"

When the elves who came forward spontaneously let go of the clothes that had been put on Ash with respect in their hearts, the dark outfit with its jet-black glow made Ash's evil demeanor look perfect and majestic!

Flying slowly from behind with a bright red cloak in its mouth, the tiny bat personally put on the cloak symbolizing the king's power for Ash.

"Follow me on the expedition!"

This time, he was going to snatch Twilight from Disdak openly and not even give her a penny of "bride price". Ash had already decided to bring his subordinates with him to make the scene bigger.

Although it might be a bit troublesome to bring so many people with him, as he would have to devote extra energy to protecting his subjects, it was no problem! Ash was determined to defeat all the enemies by himself!

"Twilight, wait a moment."

"I'll be right there!"

"I'll make you mine right now!"

Chapter 111 The Three Parties Take Action

Upon hearing the news of the expedition, the elves once again volunteered to carry the sedan chair out.

"Your Majesty! This time the sedan chair—"

There's no need to worry, this is all full of trust! Anyway, the final result will definitely be the king's triumphant return.

"I appreciate your kindness, but this time we're in a hurry, so there's no need for that."

After finding an excuse to dodge the question, Ash couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion towards this old tradition left over from the previous country... When you were all elves, carrying a sedan chair was easy for you all, so you could persist. But now you have to carry a person as big as me, so you definitely can't do it, right?

You all belong to me! If you get worn out, it's my loss!

Just as Ash was thinking about how to make his debut in a cool way and fixing his hair, a kivat suddenly flapped its wings and flew towards him at a high speed, holding a mirror on its feet that could see the scene on the earth, and came in front of Ash.

"[Ash, I thought you might want to take a look at this.]"

"?"

When Ash saw the reflection of Haruka and the others on Earth being sucked into the portal, his face changed so much that he didn't even have time to prepare. He immediately raised his hand and shouted to the side.

"Come here, prepare the horses—No!"

"Prepare the car!"

------

"where is this place?"

"Where are we now?"

Holding Puff and Aloma in their arms respectively, Qiluo and Nan observed everything around them. The scenery was clearly like a forest, but for some reason it was covered with a layer of deep purple curtain that kept flowing, giving people an extremely unreal feeling.

"This is the Kingdom of Hope...it used to be."

"what?"

Seeing the sad and depressed expressions on the elves in their arms, the girls were all surprised. Could this be their hometown? If so, this must be...!

"Originally, this was a lush, vibrant forest, Roma!" Seeing the expressions on the girls' faces, Aloma explained. "But after being invaded by Distak, both the people and nature have become lifeless!"

"unacceptable!"

Whether out of a simple sense of justice or out of empathy for the fact that the Earth will become like this, the girls once again reaffirmed their determination to fight Distak to the end!

"The gathering of those dressed as keys... do they mean we should save the Kingdom of Hope?"

"But we've only collected nine, right? We're still three shy of our Grand Princess goal."

Just as the girls were wondering and thinking about the purpose of Key bringing them here, Puff went down to the grass and sniffed left and right, but in the end she had a look of complete loss on her face.

"what happened?"

"Haruka, I don't know where she went! I didn't smell her scent..."

Qiluo quickly realized after hearing this, yes, Yao was not with them.

This is terrible! Since the three of us usually act together, we took it for granted that she would not be with us at all!

"remote!"

Thinking of this, they immediately became extremely anxious and started looking for people while shouting names, but they found nothing of their target. Instead, many strange-shaped Castles of Despair rushed towards them.

"Fort Despair!"

The people of an entire country have fallen into despair because of the power of Disbia. There may not be much else here, but the number of these castles of despair must be inexhaustible.

"Looks like we're really separated from Haruka! What should we do, Minami?"

"Even though we're separated, if they were sucked in together," Nan recalled the moment he was sucked into the vortex portal. He regained his composure, "That means Haruka must be here too, but we just haven't found her yet. In that case, we have to defeat her quickly—!"

Wearing the battle suits of Pretty Cure and facing the siege of enemies, they were most worried about their own situation while looking embarrassed.

And speaking of their companions who they keep talking about right now... well~

Poor Miss Haruno Haruka, she is still in free fall at this time.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Falling headfirst from the sky without any hindrance, looking at the ground below that was getting closer and closer, Haruka let out the same scream she had let out when she accidentally jumped a thousand meters into the air and looked down when she first transformed into Pretty Cure.

"It hurts—eh, it doesn't hurt?"

Covering her rustling skirt, Haruka unexpectedly landed on a mushroom field that resembled a trampoline. The magical plant, capable of completely absorbing the impact, gave Haruka the opportunity to walk down on her own. As expected, when she turned her head to look around, the scenery around her was no longer Earth-like.

"How magical...huh?"

Following the inexplicable thoughts in her mind, the girl looked up at the tall building on the other side of the river in front of her. The name of the castle covered by eternal night naturally appeared in her mind at this moment, as if she had known about it for a long time.

"This is the Kingdom of Hope?"

I came to Puff's hometown? No, that's not right! The correct answer is...
