Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Do you know how determined I was to say that even though I might be rejected and "hurt"?

"Including asking you to kiss me first. This was a love I finally expressed after much effort. The atmosphere was so good!"

It's not like I'm turning my back on you or regretting anything. You obviously kissed me sincerely, so let's just respond to each other's love.

But what about you? You just hugged me and wouldn't let go. You kept kissing me and never let go!

I was clearly resisting, but you hugged me even tighter! You even kept exploring me, and then...it was clearly our first kiss, full of courage and love, but I was French kissed until I passed out! I will never forget this!

"This is my first kiss!"

It’s the first kiss!

"Hey, I'm ignoring you!"

After saying this, Qiluo angrily turned her back to the embarrassed Ash and buried herself in his arms.

"Okay, okay, I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me."

Ash also admitted it. After all, Qiluo's little mouth was so sweet and soft that it was impossible to refuse. He was indeed bewitched at that time and let his second brother control his eldest brother. He almost ate Qiluo in advance, which was really not very kind. But... you can't blame me for it all, right?

Even if I am 90% wrong, don’t you, Qiluo, who I like so much, have 10% fault?

"But no matter how you calculate it, Haruka, Nan, Yongjiu, and Twilight are all wrong, right?"

"You harem man!" Qiluo couldn't help but laugh at Ash, breaking the gloom on her face with a chuckle. "You don't have to beg me or anything. I never hated you in the first place."

"Rather, we have more to thank you for."

"Oh?" Ash noticed the key she was playing with. Wasn't this the one he'd made specifically for her earlier request? Why did she like it so much? "I made it because you wanted it. Is that so important?"

Although it took some thought, I still managed to make it. Actually, I didn’t think too much about it.

"of course."

A crucial key popped out from above, and Qiluo swung it towards the void before her. With a click, the space before them opened, a "door" leading to somewhere else. The iconic Eiffel Tower was clearly visible on the other side of the door.

"Ash, you should know that I was invited by a famous judge to participate in a fashion show at the Paris Fashion Show. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that fell upon me."

"If I was only a little famous before, this time it's truly in line with my dream, a global stage!"

"But you don't want to go, right?" Ash, who was always considerate, could see what Qiluo was hiding at a glance and said it for her.

"Yeah." Glancing at Paris on the other side, the girl closed her key and nodded solemnly. "Because Mengbin, Chunchun, and the others are here, and I also have my responsibilities as a Pretty Cure. Choosing my dream means parting ways. Choosing between dreams and responsibilities is too difficult!"

But I just told you about this worry, and the next day, it was like it was specially prepared for me! I no longer have to worry about choosing, but can have both as if in a dream.

"This way, I can go to the stage of my dreams and shine with peace of mind!"

So you ask me if this is important? I also want to ask how it is possible that it is not important!

"Ash, if I hadn't encountered such a good thing, I might have ended up abandoning my responsibilities for my dreams and becoming a selfish escapee, the person I hate the most."

After all, when Chunchun and the others were facing difficulties and clearly needed help, I refused the responsibility of transforming because I thought it was too troublesome. If it happens again, the same thing might happen again. So... I'm glad you were there! You didn't let this nasty thing happen!

"No, if it's Qiluo." Looking directly at Qiluo's self-deprecating eyes, Ash said with absolute certainty, "You will definitely give up your dreams for everyone else."

Why? There is no reason, I just believe it.

"Could it be because I'm an honest and trustworthy Pretty Cure?"

"Because you are Kirara Amanokawa, who cares about your companions more than anyone else."

"You always say things that girls like! Now you don't even need a book."

Unable to contain her joy any longer, the girl, her earlobe rosy, boldly pulled Ash's head into her arms, even rubbing it with a chuckle. "There's no need for all those whys and whys. As long as this allows me to have both my friends and my dreams, Ash, just keep going with the happy ending!"

"Hey, I belong to the king! How can you just grab the king's hair!"

"I'm still the queen, isn't that right? You gave me this title yourself, don't think you can take it back so easily!"

I was obviously so happy when I hugged them, but now when they hug me, besides being happy, I also feel a strange resistance... Uh uh uh, this is so weird!

Oh, there is one more thing I almost forgot!

"Speaking of which, Qiluo, yours...without me?"

"Nothing, what do you mean?" Qiluo, who was combing Ash's unusually short, jet-black hair, couldn't help but become curious when she heard the words that seemed to imply dissatisfaction. "If you don't explain clearly, Qiluo, I don't know what it is."

Humph~ You have always used our sense of shame to tease us, but now it’s our turn to take action!

"Damn it...Okay, I'll just say it straight!"

In fact, I have been very concerned about it since a long time ago!

"That's my name!"

"Name?" Ash hadn't expected Qiluo to care about this. Seeing Qiluo's dazed expression, Ash was so anxious that he didn't have time to care about his image. He could only shout again. "That's Qiluo, the nickname you call everyone!"

"Look, you call Haruka [Chunchun], Wei is also called [Weiwei] by you, and Yongjiu you even added the last character to it and it became [Yongjiu-qin]."

"Of course, I'm not saying that just because it's a bad taste, I have to repeat the words myself! It's better to say that I don't like it at all! It's just that I'm missing one..."

It feels so unfair!

"Oh...oh~!" Qiluo's tone suddenly changed after realizing what was happening, and she dragged out her voice, full of charm. Her shoulders trembled as she suppressed her laughter, and her eyes were filled with amusement. "Pfft, so! So Ash can be jealous of these things, huh... As expected of Gray, huh, hahahaha!"

"Just because I'm the king, I can't be jealous? Eh...?" Ash, who was about to explode, seemed to have paused, and then asked Qiluo, who was almost unable to hold back. "What are you talking about?"

"Pfft—no, Ash, think about it. I don't know if your last name is just Ash or something else. Since we all call you Ash, you can also be called 'Ash', which means 'ashes'."

"Now, isn't it Huihui? Or if you think that's not cute enough, how about calling her... Little Huihui? Hahahaha! It's really fun to be with you, Huihui!"

"Quack—you're such an over-the-top woman! As expected, nothing good will happen if you let yourself get carried away!"

"Ouch, the producer molested his model, hahahaha!"

The sounds of the two people playing and laughing echoed in the lively dormitory, and the door that Ash had forgotten to lock when he came was now quietly opened a crack, allowing Haruka Haruno's green eyes to clearly reflect their laughter.

"Ash...Kirara..."

Ash and Kirara made no effort to hide their happiness.

I, on the other hand, felt a little lost.

"No, Haruka!" The girl, realizing something was wrong, quickly shook her head and tried to cheer herself up. "Even Ash and Kirara are important people to you! Isn't it an insult to them that you're just imagining things like that?"

"That's right, just like before, if you have any questions, just talk to them. So it's okay, Haruka, even if Saya disagrees, you have to believe in yourself, and more importantly, believe in everyone else."

Putting her unhappiness behind her, the girl cheered up and reached for the door, ready to apologize to both of them.

"Speaking of which, Huihui...Okay, it's Ash. Ash, do you know Haruka's new friend named Saya?"

"I know. What's wrong?"

"I wonder what you think of her."

The hand that was about to push the door open seemed to be frozen in place.

"I've always felt like Saya-san is a bit strange and bizarre," Kira said, expressing her concerns in front of Ash. "I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about her. She's certainly a nice person, but I just don't want to get too close to her. Of course, I hope it's just my imagination."

But if not, then I'd be worried about Haruka! That's why I came to you for your advice. So, what do you think of her, Ash?

"Saya..."

She is indeed a beautiful and good child. Although she feels very unhappy about being looked down upon for no reason, she doesn't know the truth after all. However...

"It should be fine. I think she is very warm-hearted."

Ash didn't hate Saya, rather he could sense a happy mood from her.

Of course, I won’t be as exaggerated as when I fell in love with you, but it’s just based on my good impression and perception.

"I really like her too!"

But I already have my soulmate, so I don’t have that kind of feeling anymore.

"You mustn't say that to anyone else," Qiluo said unhappily. "It'll definitely lead to misunderstandings... huh?"

Did I just hear something?

"Is anyone there?"

Qi Luo pushed open the unlocked door and was stunned when she saw the empty corridor in front of her.

"there is none left?"

It's strange that I made such a mistake in judgment, again.

Is it an illusion?

And in a place that neither of them saw.

Something sparkling with crystal light was lying quietly at Qiluo's feet.

Chapter 176: There is a cow?!

"South?"

Seeing the blue-haired girl coming out from the corner, Qiluo was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Were you here just now, Xiaonan? Did something happen?"

"Eh?" It was obvious that he was worried, so being asked this question right after arriving was of course a bit of a shock. "No, I just got here too."

Because my thoughts have changed recently, I want to find out the confusion in my heart through talking with you about my worries. It would be even more helpful if Ash was here too.

only...

"What happened?"

Why would Qiluo look so anxious?

A strange feeling of unease spread between the two of them, and it was not until Ash had unknowingly stood behind them that they finally reacted.

"Yeah, Ash."

They were clearly being affectionate with each other before, but at this moment she suddenly got startled and left him alone and ran to the door to do such a meaningless thing. Even Qiluo couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Maybe it's my illusion."

"Illusion?"

Ash squatted down in front of them, and seemed to see something in his flashing dark eyes.

"What... huh?"

In front of them, Ash picked up the water droplets on the ground with his fingers and put them into his mouth. When the two of them were confused and had no idea what he was doing, Ash himself gave the answer to the question.

"This is the taste of Haruka."

Hey, can you really taste something like that? And how do you know what Haruka tastes like?!

Ignoring Nan's confused expression and Qiluo's "how the hell did you do that?" face, the man, whose face turned serious, had already determined the answer.

“And the smell of sadness.”

No, we can't just leave this alone.

"Hey!"

Seeing the man turn around and chase to the other side of the corridor, Qiluo and Nan looked at each other and couldn't just sit there and watch, so they could only follow him.

It was impossible for them to let go of Ash in the first place, and now that Haruka is involved, they can no longer sit idly by.

"remote!"

Completely unconcerned with the curious looks of the students around him, Ash simply shouted her name at the top of his lungs, his resounding voice simply to seek any possible response.

"Haruka! It's me, Ash! You can tell me whatever the problem is!"

If it were in the past, I wouldn't have had this kind of patience. I'd probably just do a blanket search, arresting everyone regardless of whether they liked you or not. Not to mention the humiliation of yelling names like an idiot!

However, it doesn't work anymore.

Yao, what’s on your mind? Can’t you even tell me?

"Haruka, if you have anything to say, you can—Haruka?"

Ash finally stopped and looked at the two people in front of him hugging each other, and his mind couldn't wrap around what had happened.

"It's okay, it's okay." Holding the crying Haruka in her plump arms, the extremely gentle Saya continued to hug her from behind with soft eyes, and her hands on her trembling back gently patted the rhythm of coaxing a child.

"I'm sorry. I knew how Haruka felt, but I still said such harsh words. I'm really sorry for not noticing your feelings."

"Saya-san..." Haruka hurriedly tried to put some distance between them, but she didn't have the strength to do so. "No, I'm not like that. Saya-san didn't do anything wrong... Ugh! When did you get here, Ash?!"
