Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Compared to the "traditionalists" who insisted on never violating their ancestral teachings, Ash was a "revolutionary" who believed that maid outfits must be paired with miniskirts. So when Ash's eyes kept wandering over their tacky uniform aprons, he frowned at first, then relaxed with relief.

Although it is indeed very earthy.

But she is my queen anyway, so she looks good in anything, even if it’s rustic!

"Hey!"

Seeing Haruka deliberately bypass him to take the order from the table next to him, Ash couldn't keep his composure after being treated so differently. "I've been waiting the whole time. Isn't it said that customers are king? I'm going to complain about your unfair treatment and give you a bad review!"

"Yes~ I am the store owner's daughter. If you have any complaints, please tell me."

Still brooding over the anger she'd inherited from Ash's careless words, the girl, who had been scowling at him, tensed her expression slightly, but didn't see any change from him. Finally, she sighed helplessly and let go. "Please, Ash, what would you like to eat?"

"That's right~ Um... I don't know what I want to eat, how about serving it all to me?"

"Next customer."

"Okay, I just couldn't help but tease you because I like you, isn't that my fault?" After some persuasion, he managed to coax Haruka back, who was about to leave. Ash couldn't help but focus his gaze on the girl's constantly raised thick eyebrows, and an idea came to him. "Haruka, I have an idea. What do you prefer to eat compared to what I want?"

"Eh?" The girl tilted her head, half annoyed and half confused. She couldn't figure out what the connection was between her hobby and Ash's menu.

"I just want to try the flavor that Haruka likes."

So iced fruit bean paste?

Under Haruka's somewhat strange gaze, Ash scooped a large spoonful and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

"!"

The originally relaxed brows were quickly furrowed again, not because he was allergic to desserts or fruit flavors, but because it was too cold!

I really like the hot and spicy taste. If my chef doesn't make me spicy red oil hot pot for three days, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body. But the feeling of ice exploding in my mouth is completely the opposite.

"Chunchun, look at Ash."

"?"

Hearing Qiluo's suppressed laughter, the girl collecting the previous customer's dishes looked over there and tilted her head. "What's wrong? I clearly chose my favorite flavor as you said, and I even added double the ice... Oh."

I see.

"What, don't you like it?"

This is your queen's taste, do you want to deny it?

"Well, it's just so-so."

The man, whose teeth were trembling, wiped the corner of his mouth without leaving a trace. When he turned around, he saw Haruka's shoulders shaking as he tried to hold back his smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Puff, fufu~ No, I just thought of something happy. I think I understand Ash a little better now?"

It turns out that Ash, who is so powerful, can't eat ice?

Hehe~ kind of cute.

Hearing her say this, Ash was originally happy about her initiative, but then he felt a little depressed by the inexplicable fact.

But no matter what Ash thought, the girls were of course very happy to be able to spend their vacation time with their friends and the opposite sex they cared about.

“It’s coming!”

A specially built bamboo passage was used to hold thin noodles flowing down. Several girls were having a great time eating and playing, but Ash, who was very good at using chopsticks, got nothing for some reason. Nan couldn't stand it anymore and gave some of her noodles to Ash's bowl.

Obviously, I won’t lose when it comes to reaction speed... Chopsticks, is there something wrong with the way you hit this one!

"Holidays on Earth are supposed to be a time to relax and have fun after a hard day's work, but what exactly should we do?" Hong Cheng Yongjiu, who grew up in an ivory tower, naturally had this question in mind. However, as she spent time with everyone, she now blended in perfectly naturally. "Next, let's compete in this!"

Biting the red soil of the watermelon in a way I had never imagined before, and then spitting out the watermelon seeds in my mouth like a seed machine gun without chewing, to see who can spit farther. Having never experienced such a "vulgar" game, I felt a kind of immoral excitement in my heart!

"That's so far! Yongjiu is so good at playing for the first time!"

"It's not that great~"

"Stop it! This is in front of Ash, please pay attention to your manners and our dignity!"

As another personality within the body, Twilight, a fundamentalist, naturally couldn't stand seeing Yongyuan humiliating the princess like this. However, Yongyuan, the actual controller of the body, was having a lot of fun and ignored all of this.

'Look at your disgraceful half-baked Princess Hope!'

Seeing Yongjiu constantly trying to persuade her, Twilight, unable to bear it any longer, turned her attention back to Ash. However, she saw Ash taking the roasted corn handed to him by Taoxiang and watching Yongjiu's "Princess Fall" with great interest.

When Ash noticed Twilight's gaze from behind him, he returned the gaze while chewing the corn cob.

'Ash, why are you just watching?'

"How about standing up instead of sitting down? But this game reminds me of the one I played with everyone in the Kingdom of Night, where we competed to see who could pee the farthest—"

'abnormal! '

Feeling that the radio chat room was unilaterally blocked by Twilight, Ash shrugged indifferently and continued to look at them with a doting look as they continued to laugh and talk happily.

Although the way the girls shine for their dreams while fighting is his favorite.

But gradually he accepted it.

It's also nice to have laughter and joy in daily life like this.

Chapter 142: Have I become weaker? It seems that I haven’t changed.

"Everyday."

For Ash, who once had lofty ambitions, he always thought that this would be a word very far away from him, but now it is right within his reach.

He had always regarded things like peace and tranquility as "poison" that would corrode his fighting spirit. As a strong man, he only needed to continue to become stronger and did not need these things at all.

But now, looking at the girls playing and frolicking with him with such happiness on their faces, the sense of peace, joy, satisfaction and other happiness that kept emerging from the bottom of his heart did not make Ash feel disgusted.

not at all.

“So comfortable~”

"The tatami is so cold."

Without anyone to restrain them, their playful natures blossomed and they naturally fell asleep when they were tired. With their limp expressions, the girls lay on the ground in front of Ash in all directions, as if they were dead. Only a creaking old-fashioned electric fan brought them some cool breeze, which also blew the girls' sweaty breath towards Ash.

Maybe it's the hormones, but without any other clutter, the thick, warm breath with a hint of cherry blossoms is truly pleasant...

No! You second in command, I'm the boss!

They are so free and unrestrained now that they don’t even avoid me when their clothes are about to be soaked with sweat. Do they really not treat me, Ash, as an outsider?

"Do you know that being defenseless like this is very dangerous? If Disdak had come to attack you, you would have been dead all over the floor." In order to fight against the continuous attack from the second brother, Ash used the method of distraction, but he was choked back by the girl who was still lying on the ground.

"That's nothing. If something like that happens, then Ash, you should come and protect us."

"I have no obligation to do so..."

"Of course not. Aren't we your queens? If you don't protect us, who will?"

When Ash heard this, he was stunned. Hiss - is what you said really true?

But weren't you the ones most resistant to my words before? Precure! You're actually using my words against me?

He couldn't talk him out of it, nor could he hit him. He was helpless and could only fan himself and laugh at himself.

"Phew, maybe I really have become weak."

"No, I don't think so." Nanase Yui took off her glasses as she sat next to Ash. With the other's clear gaze, they stared at the Pretty Cures and elves lying on the ground with soft expressions. "Ash, the King has always been the strongest and most gentle one in my heart."

After all, it was Ash, the "good man" who kidnapped me but not only did not harm me, but instead gave me a new and wonderful life.

"Of course." Ash, who had no idea about Yui, replied casually. "After all, you're just an ordinary person. You don't have the same powerful strength as me or Pretty Cure. To you, the definition of powerful is pretty much the same."

Wei's comfort had no effect on Ash. After all, if you were only level 10, then it would be meaningless if someone was bigger than you, whether 90 or 100.

"No, Ash~" Wei smiled, thinking back to those words. It seemed like now was the time to give them to Ash. "Someone once said that people become weak because they love others, but that's not something to be ashamed of, because it's not true weakness."

So, compared to the tyrannical king who was always blocking us with thick barriers, the Ash who is now willing to open his heart to us is the one we like the most, and I think he is the strongest one.

"..."

As soon as these words came out, it was like touching a switch in Ash, making him sit up straight. The man stopped fanning himself and looked at her seriously.

"How did you come up with this statement?"

A little bit, it makes me want to praise you a little.

Playing with her pigtails with her hands, Nanase Yui smiled silently and looked at the little bat that had stood on Ash's shoulder again.

"It was another 'person' who really likes Ash who told you this, and I like that feeling too."

"I just heard the word 'like', right?"

"Hey, you guys? When did you get here?"

Qiluo came out of nowhere with the gossipy expression typical of people in the industry, and upon hearing this, Yao and the others behind her all came over quietly with full interest.

"How dare you say this in front of everyone!"

"But you really have to think about it. Ash is the king who is unreasonable enough to want to like all of us." Kaito Nan said something very frivolous to Wei in a serious tone. "Are you really sure you want to jump into this fire pit?"

"Wei." Yongjiu, who had just arrived and was already enjoying the melon, couldn't help but cover his mouth. "You're so bold, you're amazing."

"What's so great about it? Isn't this just adding another opponent to our arsenal?"

Putting aside the jealous personality at the moment, after all this coaxing, Ash also realized something, forcing him to face Nanase Yui seriously.

"You are the only one who tells the truth. Don't be afraid. You are one of my subjects and I will definitely not harm you."

"Tell me, do you really like this?"

If I think about it carefully, it's not impossible. After all, it's normal for people to like me easily because I'm handsome and powerful, right? Thinking about it this way, I feel really guilty.

This maid who was originally brought here on a whim is now interested in her king... Well, Wei, just tell me the truth, and then I will tell you the answer.

"About Ash..." As the serious Ash approached, Yui's face flushed red, and she finally whispered softly amid everyone's anticipation. "I like...I like it, Ash."

“Oh?↗”

Ha, it came true?!

"I love spending time with Ash and everyone else. I feel like this is the happiest time for me!"

“Oh.”

After hearing the voices that were shouted out after mustering up the courage, everyone who was in a state of anxiety almost fainted from the heavy breathing.

"So this is ah!"

After hearing her words, some voices expressed disappointment, while others expressed relief. Only one person was still maintaining a smiling expression.

In fact, I really like it.

However, I'm not a princess, nor am I a Pretty Cure. If I really tell this, it will definitely make Ash and everyone else very troubled.

So, it's better for me to pretend that nothing happened, so as not to ruin my favorite peaceful day with everyone.

As for this sentiment...

As long as I know it, I am satisfied enough.

Chapter 143: How should we address each other when we love the same person?

"[only]."

"Kivat....Mr. and Miss?"

Hearing a familiar voice from behind, Wei quickly and earnestly responded to the flying bat. This person was the second-in-command of the Night Kingdom, Ash's constant companion. Furthermore, she had been treated with kindness by him several times, and even now, it was naturally a spontaneous gesture of respect.

However, at this point, Nanase Yui still couldn't figure out the other person's true gender from that neutral voice. It was obvious to Puff and Aloma, but the true gender of "Bat" made her a little helpless.

"what happened?"

"[You like Ash too, right?]"

Be straightforward and to the point!
