Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Chapter 134: Ash's unexpected reaction in shock.

After quickly bidding farewell to the tenderness of the Dark Pretty Cure, Ash released the shrunken people without even having time to explain to them, and he started running without stopping.

We have to catch up.

Although he had never actually visited, Ash remembered how to get to Lily's house.

We have to catch up!

The familiar streets, the familiar wind, and the strange yet somewhat familiar people awakened Ash and her memories.

Gotta catch up ahh ...!!!

Everything flew past Ash who was moving at full speed.

"call--"

It had been a long time since he had the habit of not going through the main entrance, but because the situation was urgent this time, Ash half-crouched with his thighs tensed, straightened his body like a locust jumping among the grass spears, and jumped into the curtained window like a gymnast about to jump through the ring!

"lily--!"

Lei, who called him, was sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands covering her face and crying, while Yueying Lily, whom he was thinking about all the time, was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

how come……

Ash couldn't describe how he felt, as if he had been bitten hard by Tyrant.

"I……"

I don't know what happened, just.

Didn't I... make it to the end?

"Why--"

Hanasaki Rei suddenly stood up from the side and grabbed the wrist of the cold man. As if enduring something, she tearfully scolded him, "Why did you come only now?"

As if he had lost all reaction, Ash could only let Lei continue to swing her hand tightly.

"If you had come any later—"

Did I screw up again?

Everything is my fault.

"Cough cough!"

Following two light coughs from the pale beauty on the bed, Yueying Lily finally slowly opened her eyes to the stiff-faced Ash in front of her.

"Ash, you're finally here..."

"I'm here!"

He raised his hands and grabbed her cold hands that were stretched out from the edge of the bed.

Lily opened her mouth with a faint smile, as if to make one last request.

"can……"

No matter what Lily wants to say now, Ash, whose heart is tightly grasped, will definitely listen.

"If you had come any later...!"

As her words trembled, something that Lei had been enduring seemed to be about to burst out.

"Could you please close the window? It's a bit cold in the evening."

Behind Ash, who suddenly became stiff, Lei, who finally couldn't cover her mouth anymore, started trembling with her back, and finally couldn't hold back the "sad" expression she had been maintaining.

"If you had come a little later—Sister Lily would have recovered from her illness! Puff, puff, puff, puff~!"

Among the Pretty Cure characters Ash knows, it's a matter of debate as to who takes on the role of the traditionally serious character, the role of the persecutor. However, as the Crystal Palace's designated punching bag, naturally taking on this role due to her personality, it's undoubtedly the "Bud Angel," Hanasaki Rei!

This attribute is especially welcomed by the malicious Ash. Lei, who is often provoked and teased to the point of crying and being humiliated without any way to fight back, can't help laughing when she sees him showing such a rare humiliated expression.

After being friends with Erika for so long, even I'd know a few of her pranks. And as the saying goes, even someone with a heart as tender as a flower will eventually break down under constant oppression. Anyway, hahahaha—Ash, you've got this day!

"..."

Sensing his pulse on his wrist, Ash put on a face that looked like a certain "Hajime-senpai" and pressed his forehead against Lily on the bed.

"It's a little hot, but not too bad..."

"So, this is?"

In front of Ash, whose blinking speed was gradually accelerating, Lily couldn't help but chuckle like Lei and nodded.

"I caught a cold last night and developed a fever, so... that's exactly what happened."

It was just a minor illness, a cold or fever at best, so it certainly wouldn't bother the Pretty Cure. It was just that the person who should have been there to take care of her wasn't there... So, when Lily heard the news of Ash's return from the Heart Tree, she was both happy and a little irritated. So, she and Rei, who was taking care of her, conspired to put on this show together.

"Ah la~ It's nice to see Ash so worried about me."

Looking at Lily's flushed face, besides the fever, she was probably happy with Ash's performance at the moment.

"So you care about me so much, Lily, I'm relieved now~"

Originally, both Rei and Lily's acting had countless flaws, but when their minds were filled with anxiety and passion, not even Ash could see it.

"Even Ash, who loves to lie, will be deceived one day..."

Especially when she thought about how Ash had deceived everyone by switching from store manager to Timmons, the exhilaration of "getting revenge" made Lei's heart pound from the back of her feet to the back of her head.

"How do you feel now, how do you feel!?"

Even Lei herself hadn't expected that this shy and weak-kneed person, often a plaything for Ash and Erika, would actually have such a perfect time to act up. Perhaps if I turned evil, I'd have a fantastic dark mode too? Oh no, that's just too bad!

“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.”

But they had laughed and played, and when their eyes returned to Ash, who was silent and bowed his head, their giggles gradually faded.

After all, this time they had a sudden idea to trick Ash, and they had actually succeeded... Thinking of Ash's self-esteem and face-saving nature, the two women couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

According to his way, he will take revenge with rage next, but we will not surrender obediently!

Just as Lily saw Ash suddenly approaching and thought he was going to hit her, she took a defensive posture, but she saw that the other party buried himself in her arms first.

"Eh, huh?"

Especially when she reacted, the surprised Lily found that his arms were clasped tightly behind her back as if he didn't want to leave.

“Eh—!?”

Lei, who was about to separate the two, opened her mouth wide. What, what, what—what direction is this heading in? This is not like Ash at all!

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

Feeling the breath in her chest, Lily was so flustered and surprised that she didn't know where to put her hands and apologized to Ash in a stuttering tone.

"Lily, you're okay... That's great!"

"I just wanted to take revenge on Ash on a whim. It was my fault."

Lei and Lily apologized quickly together, but Ash acted as if he didn't hear them. He just continued and hugged her tighter.

"I'm glad you're all okay."

Chapter 135: Ash's true heart and Lei's suffering preview.

Just kidding, accidentally went too far?

A little prank that was done on the spur of the moment had no idea how it would turn out. I can only be thankful that at least it didn't lead to anything awful.

"..."

Lily finally couldn't bear it anymore and put down her arms. She pressed his head against her chest which was gradually rising and falling, and gently stroked his back.

As Pretty Cures whose power lies in the heart, it is natural for them to be sensitive to the feelings of others.

"We are Pretty Cure, legendary warriors who will protect the world. How could we not even be able to take care of ourselves?"

Even Lei next to him was like a little girl who had done something wrong. She was quite embarrassed and gently covered Ash with her warmth from behind.

"That's right, Ash. Even after you left, we have managed to get to this point. Don't worry."

"But if you're afraid of something, you're afraid of it."

This was not a sudden impulse, but a feeling that had been accumulating in Ash's heart since early on, when he realized that he liked them.

I didn’t care about anything before, so naturally I’m not afraid of anything.

But now, whenever he thinks of them, besides the joy of love, he also feels the fear of losing them... Now even if someone says that he has become a coward, Ash cannot refute it.

And the reason why I am afraid...

"Because I care about all of you. You are the only ones I can care about now."

The two of them blushed after the confession and continued to listen quietly to the extremely rare confession from each other in their arms.

"Whether it's Lily, Lei, or anyone else around me now, I don't want to lose anyone else!"

Again……

Lily suddenly remembered when she heard this word. She recalled the things that happened to him that were too complicated and heavy to describe... Indeed, he gained many irreplaceable bonds during his journey, but he also lost them continuously along the way.

As a "Moonlight Angel" who also lost her father in the past, Lily can understand Ash's feelings very well.

It is precisely because of this loneliness that keeps growing after constant loss that Ash has been acting so foolishly and saying that he wants to beautify his harem, but in fact he is desperately trying to "collect" us to his side.

"So my old way of fighting, where I didn't care about my life, where I didn't care about dying as long as I had fun, is no longer acceptable. Now I must succeed no matter what!"

Whether it's the monsters and killers sent by Baijie, or Light, Kaler and the others themselves, I must win!

"Don't forget that either."

Their strength gently came from the clasped hands.

"Everything we have is always with you."

When you said you no longer had a home, it was us who decided to become your family, Ash!

Lily and Lei couldn't help but think of the past. Wasn't it the same when they were just store manager and store clerk?

If you think about it this way, it seems like after going around in circles, you've finally come back to where you left off.

"I've never seen Ash have such a sentimental side... But he's also human, so it's perfectly normal for him to have such troubles."

"The harder the steel, the more vulnerable it is... But now you don't have to carry it alone. Because we are here, because we are here."

"So warm... I'll actively learn to fight with a smile tomorrow, so for now... I'll be fine if I close my eyes for a while."

Without further words, Lily, Rei, and Ash passed on their warmth in a silent embrace, and spent an irreplaceable time together.

"So, it's just a fever from a cold."

Lily, with a rosy face, reluctantly let go of her hand.

"Don't worry, Ash. Since you're here, I'll get better soon and catch up with you."

However, if I could have Ash's "kill to death" service, I would want to burn it for a while longer.

"Let's wait until you're fully recovered."

The back of his raised hand passed in front of his eyes without a trace, and there was no sign that he had done anything before.

"I'm sorry for showing you a strange side."

For such an honest Ash, I really want Erika and Itsuki to take a closer look at him. Maybe they will praise you later!

"No, it's more like this that makes us feel more deeply in love with Ash. And being able to see him acting like a spoiled brat towards us and so on - ahem!"

Lei quickly changed her words and continued.

"After all, we are in this relationship now! It's okay for you to rely on us completely!"

It's a blessing to be able to see this rare look! If I keep thinking about it, I will think Ash is cute~

"No, because I'm a man."

When a man becomes weak, he becomes a woman's plaything. Except in some special circumstances where detours are necessary, Ash has no intention of compromising in this regard.
