Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Ha, when have you ever seen me say no?"

Upon hearing this, Ash was immediately unconvinced. "How could I possibly tolerate this with my newly acquired princess harem?" He then leaped onto his horse with a swift, sword-like movement, almost causing the horse to kick back from his shock.

"Don't you need to prepare?"

"For me, any time means being fully prepared. Phew—"

The man didn't even use the reins, but instead grabbed the horse's mane in a rather retro way and patted the horse's neck to soothe his mount.

"Run, Tornado!"

"Ash, I have my own name."

"If it's my mount, then it has to be called Tornado!"

Amidst the relentless whirring of horses' hooves, the fresh grass was trampled by the galloping hooves, the vibrations from the earth even kicking up dust. Meanwhile, at the other end of the horizon, two riders, one in front and one behind, were savoring the slaps of the horse's face.

"That's awesome."

Due to his experience, Ash, who has driven everything from super robots to jet wheelchairs, naturally knows how to ride a horse. That is why he marvels at Yu Nan's performance of being on par with him.

"Because she's a grown-up, I never expected she'd be so good at horsemanship."

"It's because she's the eldest lady's that she's so good at it."

Nan took off his protective gear and looked refreshed after working up a sweat. He smiled and praised the good girl who had just galloped, while continuing to answer Ash: "But when it comes to riding side by side like this, it was my brother who taught me the basics of horsemanship when I was a child."

Nan, with a look of unsatisfied desire on her face, no longer felt the awkwardness of not being able to find topics to talk about when she was alone with Ash. It was even her turn to take the initiative.

"Is it okay for you to stay with me again?"

"Ok, Start Your Engine!"

Picking up the heavy dark green kendo armor in his hand, Ash now had a look of nostalgia on his face.

"The last time I wore this was when that guy was teaching me... But now, if we're just talking about swordsmanship, Ash is undoubtedly unrivaled in the world!"

"is it?"

After putting on his helmet, Nan drew the rapier from his waist with a rustling sound and stood there in awe.

"But I haven't practiced properly in a long time, so you're not allowed to use those tricks while accompanying me. You can only cooperate with me as an opponent."

"This is a little bit..."

Before he could finish his words, a silver sword flashed and hit him right on the forehead with a "snap" sound.

"Okay, that's a point for me."

"...How despicable, Princess of the Clear Ocean."

I still remember how serious and stubborn you were when we first met, and how unwilling you were to budge. Who did you learn this bad attitude from?

"Huhu~ Because I have a very good 'teacher' who makes me want to learn."

He retreated in time to fend off Ash's sudden counterattack, and a silver bell-like laughter came from under his helmet.

Yeah, who did he learn this bad behavior from? I really don't understand.

——The dividing line in fierce fencing——

"You're really working hard, President Nan."

It seems that Nan definitely wants to spend his leisure time today exercising.

Equestrianism, fencing, and now ballet is one of her main occupations. In terms of self-improvement, she is no less busy than Qiluo, who is full of career ambition.

He simply stared at Kaito Nan, lying on the cushions in front of him, dressed in a simple ballet outfit. She made no effort to avoid his gaze, letting her already tight-fitting outfit accentuate her figure as she continued to perform those figure-hugging movements. This made Ash, already agitated, need to devote extra energy to suppressing his inner feelings so that they wouldn't show on the outside.

"This name, um~ I haven't heard it for a long time."

She swung her two slender legs freely, and couldn't help but humming softly, especially when her ligaments were stretched into place.

"I still remember that the first time you approached me was at a time like this, and you even peeped at other people practicing. That was really too much."

"Then now I am a peeper in broad daylight!"

The man sitting next to him silently shifted his legs to adjust his position.

"How dare you say it out loud and clear."

Nan looked away and pretended not to see it, his cheeks naturally moistened by the warm-up, and continued.

"However, the look in Ash's eyes back then, when he said he wanted to possess me, was different from the look in Ash's eyes now, who is quite a gentleman."

"At that time, Ash said that, but the look in his eyes towards me didn't have any special thoughts. He just regarded me as greedy prey."

Having said that, Yan Shennan suddenly changed the subject.

“Now it’s completely different.”

"Oh, what now?"

But it was different from what Ash thought. Nan, whose eyes were as sharp as swords, was not here to praise him.

"That's a completely perverted look."

There was no way to refute it, so I could only admit that she was right.

Looking at Hai Tengnan, who stood on tiptoe and danced naturally like a butterfly, he couldn't help but think of another young lady with the same blue color.

If Aoki Reika is a pure Yamato Nadeshiko-style Japanese lady, then Miss Kaito Minami is a pure Western style.

"When everyone else is having fun, why does Nan still insist on exercising?"

"For me, exercising day in and day out since I was a kid is the equivalent of rest."

Grabbing her outstretched toes, she slowly folded her calves, which were wrapped in white tights, upward at a flexible angle.

"Compared to these things, feeling that I haven't exercised for too long or even regressed is actually more sad."

Because she has been away from home for a long time, the time she spends as a mermaid angel is much longer than that as Hai Tengnan. Now that she can return to her daily life after a long absence, she is anxious to regain some of the past feelings.

"Is this the eldest lady's tutor?"

Thinking of the young ladies around him who possessed special skills, Ash couldn't help but sigh that they must have learned well since childhood. Unlike himself... well, after all, his "tutor" was indeed quite difficult to describe.

"If Ash wants to learn, I can teach you, huh~"

After carefully lifting up his thighs, Nan looked a little embarrassed.

"Ash, help me hold my legs down."

"Coming, coming~"

Leaving the silent past behind, Ash chose to reach out to the present that actually existed before him.

47

Chapter 47 The south wind blows between the sea vines.

"I remember Hui also had a ballet costume like this, but hers was in battle form, and it was much more gorgeous."

Through the white silk tights, Ash helped pinch both ankles and move upwards along with her movements, continuing to press towards the top of her head little by little.

"Don't bring up other people so suddenly...ah, it hurts! Slow down~"

"Tsk tsk~"

The thumb slid down and pressed on the flexible sole of her foot. Feeling the restlessness of her five toes, Ash took the opportunity to continue kneading them.

"What a pair of legs, supporting the Mermaid Angel's amazing skills as a Pretty Cure."

The Mermaid Angel's specialty after transformation is her swift and gorgeous kicking skills. Both her neat movements and her power are perfect.

But isn't it a bit of a departure from the original spirit to have a mermaid with legs instead of a tail? However, it seems Ash has actually seen a Pretty Cure character with a fishtail. As expected of Precure, the world is full of wonders.

"Pfft~"

Nan, who was studying hard, suddenly felt an itch on his feet and almost lost control. He immediately glared at the culprit with red eyes.

"You, please don't do anything weird all of a sudden, okay?"

"So if I did, how would you stop me?"

Thinking that his entire lower body was still in someone's hands and he couldn't move for a while, Nan was rarely a little panicked.

"Really annoying……"

If you think about it carefully, not only is there no way, but it is also completely unnecessary now that the relationship has been confirmed... It's just that Ash is so naive sometimes that it's hard to swallow!

"The only thing that won't change is my bad heart."

Regardless of whether you are on the enemy or the friend side, it can make people's blood pressure soar... Should I say that it is really worthy of Ash?

Luckily, Ash was just joking and had no intention of actually doing anything right now. However, after being released, Nan didn't intend to continue. He simply took the water bottle Ash handed him and sipped it.

"Nan, why do you think Haruka is avoiding me like this?"

Especially when he thought about how Yao had said early in the morning that she and Wei had made an appointment to go out together, even Ash felt a little dissatisfied.

"Don't you think Ash really doesn't know?"

After knowing a little about what happened that day, Nan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"It can only be that Ash sometimes goes too far and ends up making people angry, right?"

Even if you are not angry, it will be difficult to look at it.

Even though Yongjiu himself seems to have nothing to dislike, and even... it doesn't mean that you are doing the right thing!

Especially considering that you were probably just as ruthless and excessive to Haruka last time... the fact that she just avoided you out of embarrassment showed that she loved you enough.

“I think as long as everyone is happy, that’s all that matters.”

"That being said, besides simply being happy, girls also want to be treated gently like princesses."

Nan hinted vaguely while biting the straw between his lips and glanced over from time to time.

"Especially since there are four or five real princesses here."

"..."

Although he could make a lot of people envious if he told others about the fact that he had so much love from Pretty Cure, Ash still felt that getting along with the opposite sex was a profound knowledge that one might not be able to learn in a lifetime.

Well, at least only the rich young ladies among them wanted to give me money. I have never seen them mention a betrothal gift to me.

However, there was still one question that he hoped to get the answer from her, from them.

Of course, not in a place like this. After all, if you're here to relax and have fun, even the most self-disciplined person should take a commercial break, right?

"Hey, what are your plans for the future?"

Nan was not surprised by Ash's method of moving the two to the beach with a snap of his fingers, but was surprised by Ash's question.

"Why are you asking this out of the blue... Let me think about it."

Unlike the others who have their own dreams and shine for them, Nan's dream is the deepest.

The original ballet outfit was now transformed into a bikini outfit that matched the sea breeze around her. Nan, who was worthy of the title of Princess of the Sea, mercilessly released the charm of her tall figure even when she was thinking.

“I’ve actually thought about this question before.”

Nan said quietly as she sat on the beach, letting the sea water lick her toes.

"I used to want to be like my father and brother, a reliable person who could help others. But after seeing so much, I came up with new ideas. I was torn between the two and was very distressed for a while..."

"Later, it was Ash who encouraged me to just follow my own ideas."

As he spoke, Nan, who fell backwards onto the beach, began to laugh.

“It’s on this same beach.”

"It's actually quite normal for Nan, who has always been like the big sister in the princess group, to have such troubles."

Ash, who was also wearing only shorts, hung his sunglasses on his forehead and sat down beside him.

"The same goes for what I said before about not relaxing your efforts. If you're too strict with yourself, you'll end up losing yourself."

"My family has always expected me to be a good person since I was a child. As the president of the school, I certainly can't ignore the children who are in trouble."

Thinking of the good times with everyone, the smile under the sun becomes more and more beautiful.

"It took me a long time to find the mood to even think about myself."

The troubles of the past came and went quickly.
