"Yeah." Wei nodded unwillingly. "I can't do anything."

“[It’s never been a problem.]”

Turning around, Wei looked into those small eyes. In those eyes, which seemed to have experienced too much and were filled with whirlpools, Wei saw his own dizzying figure.

“[The question is, do you have the heart to do something?]”

"I--"

On one side was the fleeing figure of Nan, and on the other side was the extremely terrifying Castle of Despair.

What answer to choose...don't hesitate at all!

"I want to do it, please, guide me!"

Subconsciously catching the object that flew from the opponent's claws, Wei hurriedly caught it and only then could he see clearly what this unusually heavy silver-gray iron block was.

Is this... boxing gloves? Or brass knuckles?

"Fort Despair!"

The Castle of Despair, which seemed to have many elements stitched together, called out frantically. It used its power again and sprayed a large pool of bright yellow syrup in front of Nan. When Nan accidentally stepped into it, he was stuck in place and couldn't move.

"Oops! Foot quilt!"

"Despair Castle!" Seeing the target hit, the overjoyed Despair Castle was about to capture the prey like a spider hunting, but suddenly an invisible air wave transformed into a huge force! With the sound of a whistling wind, it was blown away.

"Are you okay, Nan?"

"Xiao Wei?!"

Nan and Ash were stunned when they saw Nanase Yui standing there, sweating profusely and maintaining a punching posture while holding the "Ixa Fist Gun" tightly.

Nan was surprised because he didn't expect his friend to have such power, while Ash was surprised for various reasons.

In order to use Distak as a stepping stone for the princesses' trials, he remained buried in the sand and didn't take any action. To avoid any accidents, he even called Kivat to come and keep an eye on him. Who would have thought that the one who came to the rescue was not the little bat, but the trainee maid who had always complained about his habit of throwing clothes around?

No, that glove? How did you get it?

"I actually did it!" Wei looked down at the still-warm "Ixa Fist Gun" with a look of disbelief on his face. "I really did it!"

That’s right, this is... the courage that Xiaoyao and the others had when they first faced the Castle of Despair and knew nothing, but still dared to take action, right?

I seem to understand a little bit.

As the girl's hand turned pale from gripping the Ixa fist gun so tightly, her eyes were filled with the same determination.

Kivat flew in at some point and stood on top of Ash's exposed head, looking at Nanase Yui with a look of satisfaction, as a different awakening appeared in her eyes.

"[Men become strong for others, and women too.]"

Ash has always been the best person to verify this.

"[If you just take the first step, Nanase Yui.]"

Wei, this is the gift I want to give you as a "friend" in order to help you get closer to him.

Don't tell Ash, or he might get jealous.

"[You can become his favorite hero.]"

Chapter 151: Isn’t my maid awesome?

"You."

After hearing what the little bat above his head said, Ash didn't understand what was happening.

"Why would you do that? And even give this to her."

Although it's just a "toy" made from elves' materials combined with my abilities, if Wei were to use it in battle... he had never thought of this from the beginning, and everything felt a little weird for a while!

Isn't the maid that you "caught" casually for sex content with just being a maid?

“[She needed it, so I responded to her.]”

"[Just like you always do.]"

"You really are! I don't even know what to say."

Are you saying that I taught you bad things?

After hearing what He said, Ash really didn't have the temper to refute.

Originally, I had no intention of sending my maid to fight. Unlike the princesses who are very independent, he would be very distressed if his maid were to suffer any injuries while going out to fight.

"but."

It seems that there is some difference, not as weak as I thought.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Ash decided to take another look.

"Let's go, Kaito-kun!"

He swung his extremely heavy fists with all his might once again, and an invisible scorching air wave hit the swaying flower head in the Castle of Despair. The powerful impact and temperature ignited the petals, causing it to scream in pain on the spot while also transferring its hatred to him.

"Go meet up with Haruka and the others, I'll hold them back here!"

Since Ash doesn't seem to want to take action, I will protect Nan for the time being!

Watch out! Even humans can easily defeat one or two Castle of Despair if they work really hard!

"Wei...! I understand!" Knowing that now was not the time to argue, Nan suppressed his anxious expression, turned around and ran towards the other side in the direction of Yao and the others, glaring at Ash at the end.

It's your freedom not to slack off...but if Xiao Wei gets hurt, I will never forgive you!

Also, didn’t you say you would respond to all the love?

If that's the case, don't go back on your word right after you say it!

"Damn it—human?!"

Just being looked at by Nanase Yui's eyes full of resistance made Locke feel like one of his souls left his body and the other soul ascended to heaven.

Originally, he believed that as one of the "Three Guns" cadres of Disdak, coming to Earth was just an insignificant rest stop on his journey. With the level of power he possessed, he could easily toy with these lives that only had dreams. Could these powerless humans resist his power?

But just as he was about to nonchalantly pass the entire mission to the other two, he was harshly slapped in the face by reality. Crozier had seemingly been instantly defeated, and the ever-conceited Shat had been beaten to a pulp after several battles. Not to mention he had also been beaten by Pretty Cure, the King of the Night, and had been left in a mess by Despiah. And now he was being looked down upon by humans like that?

Just a human being... Damn, just a human being!!

"Crush her for me, Castle of Despair!"

"despair--!"

Calling out with a frantic roar, Despair Castle did not use his special ability that had been stitched together many times, but simply rammed his body, which was as tall as a small floor, towards the girl, and her face was full of tension.

"!"

However, facing such a situation, Nanase Yui would naturally not stand there stupidly. Rather, she had seen a lot since being kidnapped by Ash and was no longer easily surprised. While spreading her legs, she aimed her boxing gloves at the Castle of Despair, and with her mind filled with calmness, she fought and fled.

After all, she didn't have the same physical prowess as Precure, so a head-on confrontation with Castle Despair was out of the question. So, she was using her agility to maneuver around a foe far larger than her. Ash nodded repeatedly at the correct way to fight.

"Not bad, has anyone taught her?"

Even though I only thought of her as a maid, it seemed she hadn't wasted the opportunity to go to the Kingdom of Darkness. Had she secretly observed me practicing? Her movements were clumsy, but her mind was clear.

Having seen how Nan was attacked, Wei, ever vigilant, launched a counterattack just as the opponent was about to launch an attack. Taking advantage of the moment when Despair Castle was temporarily knocked back by the "IXA Fist Gun", she unexpectedly aimed directly at Locke, who was at a higher point, and launched an attack.

She knew that it was this cadre who had been doing all the bad things. He was the commander of the Castle of Despair. As the saying goes, "shoot the horse first when shooting a man, and capture the leader first when capturing a thief." She understood this principle.

However, he looked like he was just irritated. Wouldn’t an attack of this magnitude have any effect on him?

"You human..." He had originally hoped to see Wei flee in panic to satisfy his own twisted psyche, but instead of achieving his goal, he was countered. The expression on Xia Te's face had reached a freezing point of gloom. "You're just a human, don't get too cocky!!!"

It's obvious that if I just use my power, an ordinary person like you who doesn't have divine energy to protect you won't even have the power to resist!

"You happen to have a wonderful dream—let me use it and imprison this dream in the cage of despair!"

The chains appeared out of thin air and hung on Wei's chest. No matter how she struggled, she was still trapped in the cage of despair transformed by the chains, which was about to pull her dreams out and turn it into a castle of despair again.

Such a delicious dream will surely give birth to an equally powerful Castle of Despair! It seems that there are two Castles of Despair together. Now let me use your dreams to hurt your friends!

"would not!"

Wait, what did she say? No, can she even speak now?!

"These times I've spent with you all—"

Maybe it's because she often appears next to Pretty Cure and has been involved in the transformation of the Castle of Despair several times, so she has developed resistance, but now Nanase Yui not only did not fall into a coma in the cage like the others, but she grabbed the railing in front of her with her own hands in Locke's incredulous eyes throughout the whole process.

"And my dreams, I will never give them to you!"

He forcibly pulled off the lock hanging on his chest. When Nanase Yui stretched out his hands to pull the railing in front of him open, Shat's mouth was open so wide that an egg could be stuffed in it.

Is this still a fucking human? What kind of human being could possibly hold on to not lose consciousness when despair overwhelms them, and even tear open the cage on their own?!

Is this reasonable? In this river!

"Ha~" Ash, who had been sitting at the bottom, raised his hand and pointed it at the completely demented Locke with a look of "as expected". "How is it?"

"My maid is amazing, isn't she?"

Chapter 152: Nanase Yui's dream transformation, isn't it Mitsumei but a knight?

"[Xiao Wei.]"

"Mr. Kivat! Um... or Miss?"

"[Press it down.]" Ignoring her hesitation about addressing him, Kivat continued. "[Use your hand to push the glove down.]"

Then, although it won't be pretty, you will get the power you want.

"so?"

Nanase Yui rolled down from the cage that bound her, nearly spraining her ankle on the beach. She hurriedly pressed the electrical contacts on the top of her gloves with her palm. "Is that so?"

"[Ready!]"

When the electric light flashed on the girl's gloves, a belt flashing red light suddenly appeared around her waist.

"Speak!"

And this voice, it sounds like mine? Eh, when exactly?

The shyness in her heart made her look at Ash, and she saw a guy who was pretending to appreciate the blue sky.

Humph, why are you as slow as before now?

However, her actual weight in Ash's heart didn't seem as "insignificant" as she thought?

"What do you want to do, human?"

Although he had no idea what they were talking about, he felt a sense of foreboding just by looking at the belt-like object, perhaps due to the PTSD brought on by Ash. He immediately decided to disrupt their actions, and the pitch-black lightning ball formed in his hand in an instant, ready to be launched in Yui's direction.

"What should I do next?" Facing both Despair Castle and Locke, a somewhat anxious Nanase Yui frantically observed the possible next steps. Looking down, she happened to notice the half-finished belt and the empty slot on the right side. "Should I insert this here?"

"Transform." This time, it was Ash who answered. "Shout out your transformation!"

"Hen—Henshin!"

"Go to hell!"

The lightning ball exploded on the ground beneath Wei's feet, and the sparks of explosion ignited by the lightning plasma instantly engulfed the girl's figure. Just when he was proud of his decisiveness, a firm voice belonging to the girl came out from the other side of the smoke and dust.

"[Fi-STON!]"

The crimson armor light and shadow that appeared out of nowhere in front of the girl blocked all the impacts for her. When it slowly adjusted its body shape and turned into a being of the same height as Nanase Yui, it had already merged with her.

"Well?"

Wei, who subconsciously closed her eyes at the last moment, did not feel the expected damage. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw a brand new world reflected in the cross-shaped perspective that had changed drastically.

"This, is it me?"

Kamen Rider IXA, with a virtual screen suddenly appearing in front of her, already knew why she existed at this moment through the words that popped up in the lower right corner.

What was stretched out in front of him at this moment was not Nanase Yui's slender hands that often held a paintbrush, but a pair of extremely powerful fists wrapped in solid armor.

"I?"

Unbelievable and as if waking from a dream, she subconsciously touched her entire body, and all she felt was a solid feeling of strength and hardness.
