Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"If I say it's not true now, I probably won't even believe it myself, so it is..."

Just thinking about what happened that day made Yao blush and her heart beat fast again, not to mention how strange it was to talk about it with a good friend. Her pair of slightly cloudy green pupils darted around as if she didn't know where to put them.

"After all, at that time... that... everyone... couldn't really do nothing... and then things got out of control..."

Listening to her friend's pauses every three sentences, I thought he was explaining something in Morse code. Wei, feeling like she didn't quite understand, but also like she was getting a little bit of it, nodded blankly.

"So now that you know about this, Yui, I'm worried about how to tell others about this..."

Taking a sip of the floral tea, Haruka gazed upon the tea room's lavish and elegant decor. Realizing where she truly was, she felt a wave of blissful worry. While they pretended to care for him, weren't they essentially being completely supported by Ash? For someone who inherited the Pretty Cure, this wasn't entirely possible...

But if you think about it, not having to worry about all the trivialities of life in the future, just living happily every day, and even having your own special greenhouse, it really is like the pampered princess life in fairy tales. It is really great... Ahem! Haruka, you must not let your thoughts slip! I just said before that being self-reliant is a princess's virtue!

"Princess, you've been working so hard..."

After sighing slightly, Wei seemed to come back to his senses and continued to ask with an expression that said "I'm curious!"

"So, is Ash any good?"

"...?"

A few question marks floated above her head in astonishment, as if she had swallowed something that was particularly choking her throat. After choking for a while, Haruka gestured with her hands, not knowing what to say for a moment: "Ash is not the kind of person who is not powerful, he is the kind of person who is too much..."

No, can't you see my expression right now? Why do you have to ask such a question?!

"Because, he abducted me and forced me to be his personal maid."

Wei also showed a bit of nostalgia when talking about the past stories.

"It's not that intimate though. I mainly help clean up the messy room when he's not around. Mainly because he didn't have that idea before, so he's not interested in me anymore."

"So...does that mean now?"

"Of course, Haruka, you guys started it with him, right?"

Wei leaned close to her friend's ear and continued speaking with a mysterious look.

"As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. The current Ash gives people a completely different impression than before."

To put it in a metaphor, he used to be a rascally boy, but now he's more of a true "man." And the picture book I've been studying recently also mentioned that men have both the dirtiest and most beautiful fantasies about the women they like.

"So I was thinking, if we keep seeing each other like this, there might come a day when he suddenly eats me. Instead of panicking, why not prepare in advance... Haruka?"

He stood up and left decisively, picking up the teacup in his hand and forcing himself to take a sip with trembling hands while keeping an expressionless face.

"I'm sorry, Xiaowei, I can't give you any advice on this."

"Hey, Xiaoyao~ I've helped your best friend a little~"

"Sorry, no comment."

It’s because we’re good friends that I can’t say anything!

"Really~"

Pulling her best friend's sleeve, she "begged" her in a gentle voice.

"Maybe Ash is attacking other people right now, Xiaoyao, please help me for once."

"No, he certainly wasn't too gentle with women back then, but he certainly wasn't such a perverted person."

If you don’t believe me, let’s go see him now...Oh, why is the door closed?

Did he fall asleep shortly after sunset? No way, I clearly remember him staying up late...

"I'll knock on the door..."

Just as the girl was about to try to say hello, the door in front of her suddenly opened with a "click". Miss Yongjiu, with her upper body covered with her hair and inexplicably wet all over, collapsed by the door with an indescribable smell, like a fish jumping from the river to the shore, with a horror movie-like temperament.

“Ahhhhhh…”

He was chewing something inexplicably, and when his misty and confused eyes finally caught sight of the two bewildered people in front of him, he stretched out his hand with a hazy voice as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Haruka~ Yui-chan~ Help, help me~"

"What, what happened?!"

Just as she was worried and wanted to find out what was going on, a pair of familiar hands quietly grabbed Yongjiu from behind the door, and dragged her back the way she came with her voice vaguely mixed with fear and fascination.

"Where do you want to go?"

"No~ Let me rest for a while—Ah! You bit my ear again, knowing that my ear is very sensitive and you still bit it while doing this, no~"

"I told you before, you just need to think about when to beg for mercy~"

"Please spare me~"

"no,"

Finally, with a scream, the door slammed shut again, leaving only a suspicious puddle of water in front of the two people who were completely silent.

Chapter 45 The order is everyone’s happiness!

Aside from the suspicious water stains on the ground, there was no sign of any human presence. It was as if everything that had happened before was just a dream. Or rather, it was really a dream, wasn't it?

"Haruka, let me tell you...Xiaoyao?"

"I didn't see anything."

Ignoring her friends' calls, Haruka dragged her body back and forth like a wandering soul, feeling like she was about to get a stye. She decided to take a shower and go to bed early so that she could forget everything.

“It’s not good to escape from reality.”

"Haruka doesn't know anything~"

The princess and friend I once admired are now like this... Hahaha~ They must have been having nightmares from fighting too many monsters before. How could such an outrageous thing happen in reality?

-

"Haruka seems to have ignored me lately, even though I haven't done anything to offend her recently... As her best friend, do you know anything?"

Even Ash couldn't help but feel distressed at the thought. It was obvious that Yongyuan and Twilight had only been awkward for two days and had become even closer after getting back together, but Haruka always had that indescribable expression on her face. Who would believe her if she said she wasn't deliberately avoiding me?

"I don't know."

Wei, who helped to take away the dishes that Ash had just put down, was worthy of being the current head maid. There was no trace of flaw in the businesslike smile on her face.

"However, regarding Miss Yongjiu..."

"Don't worry, just leave everything to me and Qiluo."

Sitting alone in his seat, Ash put on a thoughtful expression.

Ever since he finished the affairs of the Kingdom of Hope and still had no news about the whereabouts of other people, Ash had a rare moment of free time.

"What do you think a princess and a Pretty Cure would want most?"

After such a long time of reunion, Ash certainly wanted to catch up with everyone he hadn't seen for a long time to avoid any estrangement.

"I think that everyone who is able to gather together now is already thinking about having fun, and they don't have so many desires."

As a long-time supporter, Wei also gave her own answer after knowing Ash's purpose this time.

"Perhaps the only thing I want is to wish for peace to return to the world."

"That's what we're working hard on right now... That's right!"

With a sudden slap of his right hand on his thigh, Ash immediately made a decision! "They've been following me around all the time. It's been ages since they've been out having fun! Since we're not far from my junior Guangmei's city, let's go give them a treat!"

Although defeating the enemy to save the world is indeed of utmost importance, the "peaceful daily life" that allows people to relax and work harder and understand why they fight wholeheartedly is of course equally important!

"Then, let's go~"

Qiluo accepted the action funds from Ash very naturally, and pushed Yongjiu, who was still a little dazed as always, straight to the busy and crowded streets outside.

"Hey, aren't we going together?"

Yongjiu, who had been sticking to Ash these days, was a little uncomfortable when he had to be separated from him for a while.

"Hey, haven't you realized yet? From now on, it's girls' time."

He shook the black credit card in his hand, and handed her a cute handbag with flowers on it in front of his companion's confused eyes.

"Isn't it just for this reason that they gave us even this kind of thing?"

Ash even gave the order that the main point this time was to have fun!

"Chunchun and Weiwei have their own plans, so we princess sisters are going to have a good time! Whether it's long-awaited new clothes or the rare specialties of other Pretty Cure cities, we're really looking forward to it!"

Kirara was, of course, aware of Ash's intentions. He was definitely going to trouble us Pretty Cure again later, right? So, as a hard-earned "reward" for letting us relax and satisfy, I accepted it without hesitation!

"Goo!"

After hearing Qiluo's bold words, Yongjiu's heart was visibly moved, but when he looked back at Ash who was smiling and waving at him from behind, he became a little hesitant.

"But……"

"Shh~"

When she was still hesitant and reluctant to leave, Qiluo pulled her arm and started whispering in her ear. A few lines of the second half of the couplet made her face turn red instantly.

"I know Yongyuan is very reluctant to let go of Ash and still wants to be close to him... but there are also people who are looking forward to such a wonderful time. It's not the princess's fault to be too greedy."

It's hard to say. Perhaps Yongyuan is unexpectedly one of those children with strong desires? After all, having been a princess of both hope and despair, it's hard to say. That's something I never expected.

"Yes Yes!"

"Let's go. I originally wanted to invite Qiluo to join us this time."

From a distance, Ash could see the blushing girl being pulled towards the shopping street by another more excited girl, and he put down his hand with relief.

"As expected of her, she said that occasionally maintaining some distance between us would actually bring more surprises... I have to say she was right."

"Qiluo has always been the smartest among us."

Holding the straw hat on his head that was gently blown by the wind, his southern accent was filled with a sense of pride when he talked about his friends.

"Is that why you attacked her?"

If Nanlai were to actually give his evaluation...it couldn't possibly be a compliment, right?

"Well, I don't object. I'm also proud of being able to satisfy her."

"Then what's the reason for attacking Haruka?"

"I fell in love with her and couldn't help myself."

Are you really honest?

"What a devilish king!"

If it wasn't for the fact that they were related, Nan would have despised him anyway. He actually had the guts to do that to such a cute girl like Haruka.

"But Haruka said she and her bestie were going to play with the younger generation. Does that mean we're the only ones left here?"

Regina was so engrossed in the huge castle that she didn't want to go out at all. Ash was the first one to run away, and no one knew where he had gone. So, Ash and Nan were the only ones left here.

"It's true."

Nan looked around and was a little surprised that it was true. Could it be that everyone had specially prepared this time for me?

Well, of course we can’t waste everyone’s kindness.

"Then please lead me on my journey, My Lord."

"My pleasure, My princess~"

He then solemnly took Miss Hai Tengnan's smooth jade-like hand and gave it a light kiss. Such a solemn scene could not help but attract the attention of some passers-by.

Chapter 46 Let’s work hard together with Nan!

When it comes to going out for leisure and entertainment, apart from some special places that have some local specialties, the first things that Ash would think of are games, shopping, including barbecues and various common ball sports.

So when Nan suggested going to the equestrian gym... well, it's not that it's impossible, I was just a little surprised because it was a little unexpected.

"What's wrong, Ash?"

After putting on protective gear, Nan grasped the reins of the horse with great skill.

"But you offered to accompany me no matter what. Aren't you used to it?"
