Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"are you here?"

In such a dangerous situation, Mayu, worried about her friend, called out without even thinking about anything else. If anything happened to her, how would I explain it to Komugi and the others?

"Ah~ Mayu!"

Fortunately, the worst incident did not happen. Mayu saw Iroha, who was unharmed, and next to her...

When Mayu saw Ash, she became like a cat seeing a cucumber, her fur standing on end.

Wow! What's with this handsome guy in the pool? He looks like a movie star. How can we interact with him? Wow, he actually looked at me!

"Iroha, what are you doing?"

"Mayu, don't worry. This gentleman is Kamen Rider, and he saved me!"

"Actually, he's the lead actor in Kamen Rider?"

She's a star indeed! Mayu's true personality kicked in, and she felt uncomfortable all over, even her teeth started to chatter.

"Hello! I'm Nekoyashiki—no, I'm Cure Lillian (Lily Angel). Please give me your guidance—"

"No, he's the real Kamen Rider!"

Hearing this, Mayu, who was still digging the two-bedroom apartment with her toes, stretched out her hand in confusion.

Mayu lowered her hand from Iroha's forehead, feeling somewhat puzzled. This wasn't right. Why was she talking nonsense when she clearly didn't have a fever? Could it be that...

"Sure enough, Iroha is in trouble because of the monster's brutal attack earlier!!!"

"No, Mayu—you listened to me~!"

Fortunately, with the explanation and help of her teammates, Nekayashiki Mayu also nodded and understood the development. Although she was very surprised at first that such a thing could happen, after Ash's explanation and the supplementation of her friends, she gradually accepted the fact and made a 180-degree turn in her attitude towards Ash.

What a gentle and handsome gentleman he is. He is worthy of being Kamen Rider. There is such a perfect person!

"Mr. Ash, you're amazing! I originally thought you might be a bad guy, but now it seems I was wrong!"

"Actually, you might not be mistaken."

"Eh?"

"Wang!"

While enjoying observing the expression of the person he was teasing, Ash noticed the cat and dog in his arms that had woken up and were placed on the ground. He stretched out his hand and asked.

"You even want to save small animals. This kind of kindness is indeed very consistent with you."

"No, they are actually ours."

"Is there any summoner skill that works with pets when going into battle?"

"This one……"

For a moment, both Iroha and Mayu were a little embarrassed. How should they explain the matter of cats and dogs transforming into Pretty Cure?

"Anyway, someone's pulled a multiverse-sized wrench in this, and now no one can stay out of it, and I want you newcomers to be part of the Precure force."

While explaining the important news, Ash couldn't help but touch the puppy who was being affectionate with its owner.

"Remind me I already told you to be prepared no matter what."

“Squeak~——”

"Ah! Xiaomai, you can't do this. Mr. Ash is a good man."

Perhaps some sudden movements scared the papillon, and when it was baring its teeth and pretending to bark, Ash also changed his movements.

"Uh-huh~"

“…Woof!”

As the saying goes, no puppy can tolerate rubbing fingers with a "sucking" sound. After a while, Wheat was taken advantage of by Ash. With the skills he had learned from stroking Pokémons for a long time, he soon lay on the ground with his belly exposed, looking so comfortable that he was sticking out his tongue.

"Who's the good dog? Who's the good dog!"

“Woof woof woof (I I I)!”

"This is too fast."

While Caiyu was embarrassed by how quickly her dog was petted, Ash kept eying the other cat nearby. If nothing else, the thought of such a white kitten was making Ash want to pet it.

"Meow--!"

But compared to the embarrassing Xiao Xiao, this Xiao Xue was obviously more unfamiliar and fierce. Seeing that he was being grabbed several times in the hand, Mayu beside him panicked again.

"Ahhh! Mr. Ash, are you okay? I'm sorry, my Xiaoxue is really not very friendly to strangers."

"Huh huh huh~"

For some reason, hearing Ash's laughter, the tingling sensation that had made me bristle when I first saw him suddenly returned.

"Hakimi deserves love, doesn't he? Look at my hands—the Night Kingdom's one-man show, the Elf's Eighteen Touches!"

“Meow (What are you doing)? Meow meow (If you do that again, I’ll really hit you) Meow meow—meow (Where are you touching? Let go)! Meow meow meow meow meow (I’m going to be weird, wow wow wow wow wow)!!!”

"As expected~ The fiercer the animal, the better it feels to touch. This feeling is truly incomparable to that of an ordinary kitten."

Seeing my own little white cat, who was so loyal not long ago, now lying on the ground with a dazed look on his face, and letting Ash do whatever he wanted to him after being "wantonly violated", I inexplicably felt like I was being bullied and wanted to cry but had no tears.

The snow in my house suddenly became dirty!

"This belly feels really good, do you want to join me?"

"Indeed! It's always so soft no matter how many times~"

After receiving the invitation, under Xiaoxue's eyes of disbelief and betrayal, they started to touch a cat together, and the previous illusion that he was a cow was immediately forgotten. Mr. Ash, who also likes fluffy things, is indeed not a bad person!

"Okay, there's one more thing I must ask you."

After putting down the cheeseburger in his hand as payment for the kittens and puppies, Ash finally got down to business again and took out a photo in front of them with a serious face.

"Excuse me, have you seen any of the people above?"

They looked at each other and answered in unison, giving the answer that Ash expected.

"Have!"

"I assisted and taught the new Pretty Cure, and also gained information about them~ Mm, killing two birds with one stone~!"

After inviting the two to take a photo together and adding the photo to his collection, Ash was very satisfied.

"The latest Pretty Cure turns out to be a duo that loves animals. It's nothing new, but it's still pretty good."

"..."

Walking out from the darkness nearby, Yaxiu, dressed as a secretary, looked at the man's cheerful back. Her smiling expression gradually faded and turned into a somewhat subtle one.

"This isn't just a two-person Pretty Cure team."

I say, Ash, this journey of yours, which is more relaxed and enjoyable than before, might actually make you more likely to encounter a boomerang flying back at you.

Chapter 30: Is there anything wrong with the special training for the younger generation?

"Pah, pah~"

The pair of soft ears on top of his head gently slapped Ash's face like a fan, which was the message from Puka.

"Why, are you hungry?"

"Mmm~Mmm~"

Puka made a chewy sound as he nibbled the berries Ash handed him and licked his fingers clean.

"I just heard a familiar voice, Puka?"

"Familiar?"

Ash was a little surprised, but after recalling for a while, he finally reacted.

"Indeed, the voice of that friendly angel is completely different in tone, but if you listen carefully..."

When Ash took Puka down from his head, his eyes looked a little strange for a moment.

"But speaking of familiarity, I think of another familiar person."

In short, it is a similar situation with the same voice actor, and it is even more so in today's context of diversity and integration.

"..."

Staring into those dark eyes, he changed his posture to become a little rabbit lying on Ash's hand and hesitated.

"Ash, do you know?"

No matter what, it's impossible to forget her while I'm with you.

"What I want to tell you is that Prim truly repented in his final moments."

With some hesitation, Puka finally decided to tell him.

"At least in the end, she really wanted to be with you... So at least in the end, Ash will forgive her, okay? Puka?"

"What are you worried about?"

Being able to understand Puka's hesitation, Ash's answer was also filled with a lightness that was beyond Puka's expectation, and not the kind of heaviness that comes from deep hatred and resentment.

"Besides, the relationship between her and me can't be denied just because I want to. Besides, I never hated her from the beginning. I just couldn't forgive her, so I had to make peace with her."

"So?"

"At least I don't blame her for that."

The big, soft and warm ears wrapped around him gently like a scarf, telling of little Puka's joy.

"Because I am also a part of her... so thank you, Ash! She will definitely be happy too."

"I hope so."

Although it was not his original intention, but thinking about his actual "actions" of killing his mother and wife with his own hands, which could be called the worst villain, Ash couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

That’s why no one must be left out!

Ash made up his mind for the umpteenth time.

While adjusting the headphones that were a little annoying, Yaxiu couldn't help but smile with relief when she saw him pondering alone.

-

"So, you two are the new Pretty Cure?"

"Actually, there are more than two..."

"Don't interrupt me!"

"Yes Yes!"

Caiyu and Mayu, holding a puppy and a kitten respectively, sat upright opposite Regina and Twilight, straightening their backs and swallowing nervously.

Whether it was the heroic blond "Valkyrie" holding a spear, or the silver-haired "Queen" whose every move was elegant and noble, they all felt a huge pressure in various senses.

Not only are they our seniors, but they're both actual princesses! Great, so impressive! They were so far away that they made us want to look up to them, but now that they're right in front of us, it feels a little unreal.

"Is this the Pretty Cure of today~?"

Twilight, who had deliberately transformed them, sipped her tea gracefully while commenting, "Although I like your other one very much, it seems to me that it's still far from being as good as you."

They weren't combat types at all, but rather specialized types that focused on persuasion. It would have been naive to ask Twilight to judge them. If they had been their opponents, they would have been unable to defeat me.

"As my king said, unless you can maintain this awareness of being influenced."

But it wasn't all criticism. Just as the two were feeling down about the evaluation, Twilight pushed away her teacup and changed the subject: "But judging by your looks, you seem to be well prepared. So don't give up so easily, new Pretty Cure."

"Yes, we will definitely work hard!"

As a superior, Twilight was quite tolerant and optimistic about their performance, but... looking at the other princess who seemed inexplicably angry next to her, it seemed that she didn't think so.

"Even though I don't want to admit it."

Regina glanced at the still elegant Twilight beside her, stood up with a feeling of dissatisfaction and fired a gun flower with one hand.

"But that's exactly why, because of your immaturity, this princess is going to give you a special training now!"

What Ash did to Mana and the others, I can certainly do too!

"Excuse me?"
