Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Whether it was the temperature of the hot water, the amount of tea leaves, or the angle of pouring, there was no problem at all. Haruka Haruno maintained such impeccable movements and delivered the freshly brewed tea to Ash with anticipation.

"Please, please use it!" Although her movements were flawless, the girl's nervousness could still be clearly heard from her voice.

"Then I won't hold back." Ash happily accepted the tea and drank it all in one gulp. Although he had no knowledge of tea tasting, it didn't stop him from giving his evaluation in the most straightforward way: "As expected of Haruka, the tea has a sweet aftertaste and a refreshing aroma... Okay, not that exaggerated, but it's definitely delicious!"

"Great!" The girl breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Ash's affirmation, then she was so happy she almost jumped up and spun around. "All the training I've done before really paid off!"

"Oh?" Seeing Haruka's face filled with joy, Ash couldn't help but ask. "What kind of training are you talking about? Are you...training for my bride?!"

Oh, you are worthy of being my princess. You really care about me so much!

"If you really want it, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just tell me." The distance between them rapidly closed under Ash's rapidly shifting knees. "Then let's skip the introduction and get right to the action everyone wants to see!"

"I'm not going to welcome this!" Feeling extremely ashamed, Haruka quickly placed her hands on Ash's face as he approached her. If she didn't stop him now, she wouldn't know if she would resist him if he succeeded. "This is all I've been practicing to become a princess! Humph, Ash obviously knows that!"

However, if he really wants us to become his queen, then this kind of practice would seem to have really become the realm of bride practice.

"Ha, is tea art also considered a part of a princess's training?" Sorry, Ash's stereotype of princesses is that they just sit there and wait for everything to be provided for them, and they are just mascots responsible for beauty and marriage. "Princesses" like Haruka who rely on their own efforts for everything are the opposite of the stereotype.

Of course, he really prefers the latter like Yao!

"Of course? Don't look at me like that weirdly. It's Ash who's having such a weird idea!"

Haruka and Ash pouted as they teased each other. Although they hadn't experienced a relationship that progressed as quickly as others, the two of them were already able to get along naturally.

Haruka was secretly impressed. Ash was becoming more and more like the king she had always dreamed of, and the man she loved. So, compared to him, she was the one who was failing...

"But it's really strange. They said you were going to become princesses, but you've already collected all the keys. Why haven't you become that Grand Princess yet?"

Putting down the teacup, the man's eyes swept over the keys and perfume bottle placed on the table in front of the girl. It was this thing that had suddenly malfunctioned and nearly got Haruka into trouble. It clearly didn't have the anti-counterfeit watermark, so it didn't look like a fake.

That is to say, even if you don't want to admit it, the problem lies with the transformation props, right?

"Even in this situation, I still want to be a princess, because that's my own dream!" Noticing Ash's gaze, the girl, who had just finished her excitement, lowered her head again, pursed her lips and whispered softly, "It's just that I may be getting further and further away from the princess in my heart..."

"remote."

Hearing that she was finally willing to talk about these things, Ash suddenly became serious. Although he seemed to be playing around before, he actually had never forgotten what Kirara said, that something was wrong with Haruka.

"If you need to talk about your troubles, I can temporarily put aside my status as a king and listen."

After all, Yao is the person I like. How can I not care about her and love her?

"The main thing is that I'm really ordinary. I don't have Qiluo's beauty, Nan's charm, or any outstanding abilities. Although I've always held on to my dreams, it seems that dreams are all I have..." She had been joking at first, but as she spoke, her voice gradually became softer and her head lowered. "And the way you look now, it really scares me!"

As Ash lifted the veil, Haruka, who had taken the initiative to reveal her weakness, began to shed tears.

"I've really become a bit unlike myself lately! And my previous transformation failed—I'm scared. I'm scared that I'll even lose my dream of becoming a princess!"

If even the most important dream is doomed to failure, then what is the point of me and everyone coming this far?

"No." Without giving her any chance to waver, Ash said it firmly in front of Haruka! "If there is any problem, I will protect you, both you and your dreams."

Whether it's Disdak or the dangerous existence you worry about, I will protect you.

"You are the one who should trust me more."

"Ash..." Her eyes stopped reddening, and she nodded repeatedly, moved by the warmth in her heart. "Yes, I will try my best!"

"If you're still scared, here's what I'm saying." Ash, who had been a little hesitant for a moment, finally made up his mind and gestured for Haruka to get closer. The girl's heart began to race against the warmth and sensuality of his breath. "I'm only telling you this. Don't tell anyone else, or I'll be in big trouble."

"Everyone you know, among those you consider princesses."

Putting his arms around the girl's slender waist, Ash leaned against her soft body and made the most embarrassing "confession".

"Haruno Haruka, you who are infinitely strong for your dreams, in fact, you have always been the one in my heart—"

"What are you doing?"

Nan suddenly pushed the door open and saw two people standing inexplicably far away, with blushes on their faces. He tilted his head in confusion.

Nothing happened between you two, right?

really not?

"Ahem!" Ash coughed twice and quickly got things back on track. "Nan, are you in such a hurry? Is there something chasing you?"

Obviously, the most important moment is coming up next, and even the readers will agree! So, I hope there's some good news to heal my wounded heart!

"That's great news, Ash, Xiaoyao!"

"what!"

I just mentioned it, but there is really good news?

"It's Prince Kanata! He's been missing for a long time, but has he escaped from Disdak?"

"what?"

Chapter 185: A chance to save the Kingdom of Hope?

"Prince Yota!"

Excitedly calling out the visitor's name, the elves rushed forward and hugged their prince.

"Prince, when we heard that you disappeared in Disdak, we thought we would never see you again!"

"I'm sorry for making you worry."

Apart from Mr. Ash, who had a very ugly expression and did not want to reveal his name, as a helper who had secretly supported them from the beginning, everyone else was happy about the return of the other party.

"elder brother!"

Especially Hongcheng Yongjiu, when he saw his brother who had been missing for a while reappear, he naturally welcomed this reunion moment with tears in his eyes.

Originally, he had returned to the other side of the guerrilla warfare with Distak after rejecting Ash's proposal, and had disappeared without a trace shortly thereafter. Faced with this situation, the most anxious person was Hong Cheng Yongjiu, his younger sister, so seeing his brother back was of course more than anything else.

"Father and Mother are still trapped in a world of despair. If my brother disappears too, Yongyuan will be heartbroken!"

"I'm sorry for worrying you, Yongyuan." As if returning to his childhood with his sister in the Kingdom of Hope, the now-disgraced Kanata smiled at her with the same gentleness he always had. "But I think Yongyuan will be strong even without me."

"Because you have a group of great friends now." At this point, Kanata's eyes also glanced at Ash who had remained silent. "And, there are also people who will truly protect you."

"Humph."

Don't think that I will forgive you just because you say nice things. You are Haruka's rival and adopted son...it seems that's not the case yet.

"Alright, alright~" Qiluo, who couldn't help but laugh at Ash's annoyance, patted him on the back as if to calm him down. "This is a touching moment for siblings to recognize each other. You should be moved with everyone else."

"It obviously has nothing to do with me."

"Really? Seeing Nagato-kun so relieved and moved, weren't you also very happy?"

"Goo!"

Seeing Ash turn away again, choosing to remain silent, Qiluo was amused. It was obvious that men weren't cute at all when they became tsundere.

"Haruka, it's been a long time." Seeing Haruka appearing late, Kanata quickly greeted her. "Have you fulfilled your dream of becoming a princess?"

"Well..." She was initially excited to see Kanata return, but she didn't expect him to bring up something completely unrelated right at the very moment she was worried. It made her feel awkward. "Probably... Anyway, what exactly happened to Kanata back at Distak?"

"I'll tell you!" Speaking of business, Kanata immediately became serious. "I've been searching for an opportunity to save the Kingdom of Hope from despair. Just when I found it, I was ambushed and captured by Disdak's men. I only escaped today!"

It feels strange when I think about it now. I clearly didn't leave any traces at all at that time because of my familiarity with the terrain and the magic to conceal my whereabouts, but I was still caught accurately by the mysterious woman in black.

She even had her eyes closed. How did she find me?

"After that, I was bound in the dungeon by Disbia. She wanted to make me completely desperate and become a part of her energy. I took this opportunity to escape."

For some reason, Kanata felt a little dizzy at this point. It was strange. He had already escaped, but he couldn't quite remember how he'd escaped. Was it just in places like this that his memory failed?

It seems like someone released me on their own initiative... Who could do such a thing?

"Wait, brother!" Yongjiu keenly grasped the key information. "Are you saying that you found a way to save the Kingdom of Hope!?"

"That's right!" Kanata, equally excited, immediately described his vision to everyone. "I've finally found the correct location of the four legendary castles on the edge of the Kingdom of Hope!"

Even Hana no Shiro, who was originally unsure, suddenly remembered it when he woke up and ran away!

"Legend has it that this castle was left behind by the power of a former Pretty Cure. When activated in times of crisis, it will awaken the power of hope and light! It will surely awaken everyone in despair at once, thereby weakening Despia's power!"

As long as we do this, we will be able to defeat the final enemy and save the world!

"That is to say!"

The girls couldn't help but breathe faster. This way, they could save the Kingdom of Hope and create an opportunity to defeat Despia. Could they finally fulfill the Pretty Cure's mission?

"Finally, finally!" Yongjiu was also the most excited. She wished she could fly to the Kingdom of Hope right now to save the people she loved.

"But the passage we used to get there has disappeared, right? How can we get to the other world?"

"Sigh." Noticing everyone's attention suddenly focused on him, Ash couldn't help but sigh. "It's not that I don't want to help, but I'd rather have the Kingdom of Hope submit to me."

If things develop like this, won't I be able to gain everyone's favor by showing them kindness?

"Ash!"

Without saying a word, Yongjiu hugged Ash tightly and started rubbing against him.

"Help me, please!"

"Ash, even though she is embarrassed, please help her/me."

"Even Twilight said so." I didn't expect that Yongjiu would be so good at acting like a spoiled child with me. Helplessly, Ash touched the soft red hair in his arms.

If you look at me with such pitiful eyes like a little animal, won't I be able to completely refuse you?

"I understand. I will use Delan Castle to find a solution."

I originally came here through this, so of course there is no problem going to other worlds.

"[Castle Doran]!"

Standing together with Ash above the summoned dragon castle, surrounded by clouds and mist, Yongyuan suddenly hugged Ash from behind.

"Ash just now was really handsome."

"Ha~" Although he tried to pretend that he didn't care, Ash couldn't suppress the corner of his mouth more than AK when he was praised. "It's natural for me."

"Really handsome." Seeing Ash's expression, she changed from a permanent Twilight Girl to another sentence. "My lord."

"Got it, I'll help!"

Originally, I was a little worried that such a good thing might be a trap or something.

But I'm here anyway, so even if it's a trap, what can go wrong?

------

"it is good!"

After scoring twice and standing on this land invaded by darkness, Ash is now ten or even nine times more excited than the Pretty Cures behind him.

I've seen this episode on Shonen Jump. Breaking through four castles like this must have powerful gatekeepers! They're definitely not the same little jerk ones from before. There's bound to be more exciting fights!

"I can't wait for the Four Heavenly Kings or something, bring it up quickly!"

"Okay, that liberates the third castle!"

Seeing Qiluo opening the keyhole with her key, who looked very happy, Ash fell into deep thought.

Could it be that I am really thinking too much?

Chapter 186: Is this the final battle?

"Katherine, what do you mean?"

"It's meaningless, it's called Nonsense~"

Looking at the woman in front of her with a smile on her lips, the Desperate Witch Despia was accumulating her anger, no, it should be said that it was about to explode.

"You keep saying you're on my side, but what are you really planning?"

When she offered up her lost energy of despair during their first meeting, the delighted Desbia agreed to grant her access to Desdak's power. The subsequent results seemed to prove her choice right, especially when she nearly single-handedly defeated three Pretty Cure.

Originally, Disbia had begun to believe her from the bottom of her heart. Next, she just needed to continue to maintain the status quo and wait for her to digest all the energy of despair, and then at the same time activate the "seeds of despair" that had long been buried in the earth to turn the entire world into a world of despair. Victory would be in her hands.

As a result, at this critical moment, the enemy immediately gave her a terrible trick! Not only did they allow the prisoner carrying important intelligence to escape, but they also killed the last member of her original team, Xia Te.

"Really? Of course I have my own ideas. I'm planning to..." Catherine seemed about to explain, but suddenly changed the subject and said in a playful tone, "Ah, do you really think I'll tell you?"
