Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"So, who should we attack first?"

As this is his "first time" partner, Ash feels that he must make a careful and cautious choice!

First of all, there is absolutely no clue or information, and the "Ace Angel" who even the Poker Kingdom doesn't know where to go has passed. Although it is very regrettable, the problem is that now Ash can't even find the way to the Poker Kingdom, and there is really nothing he can do.

And compared to my biological daughter, Makoto, my adopted daughter, also passes! It's not for any other reason, it's simply because the beam in her eyes is too heavy to be easily turned. And honestly, she's pretty clueless or stubborn. Even if I explained it clearly to her, it's foreseeable that she'd turn on me if anyone provoked her. It's a foreseeable fact that leaving it to the end would be the wisest course of action.

"And then, Arisu..."

Thinking of the perfect young lady who had treated him calmly and gently from the beginning, and who had secretly supported him without complaint, and then thinking of the hostile look she was showing now, Ash was silent for a moment.

"To be honest, the problems we encountered were too great."

At first, Ash thought this "Yoto Arisu" was simply a fake, having been replaced by someone else. He even thought about exposing her in public so that everyone could see her true face, killing two birds with one stone! However, after getting to know her, he found that her every move revealed elements that were definitely not fake, and even Ash became hesitant about this situation.

There is still too little information known.

"It's not the time yet, not yet..."

Well, the answer was clearly in front of Ash! The first choice at this time should be Cure, who had already let go of his guard and achieved cohabitation, and who was actually the most important person.

"Okay, it's you! Cure Diamond!"

Ash, with a sunny face, made the decision. Rika, who was far away in the school, trembled with her hand, and the eraser she was erasing rolled from her hand all the way to under the teacher's podium.

"Although I feel a little sorry for you, Rikka."

"But you really should pick the softest persimmons to squeeze!"

Chapter 211: Big sisters always like little boys.

"Sister~sister?"

The little hand waving in front of her brought Hishikawa Rikka back to her trance.

"Oh... is it Ash?"

Because she was distracted, Rika, who was standing at the school gate, didn't come to her senses until the boy walked up to her, jumping and skipping.

"Sister Liuhua, is there something on your mind?"

Just one glance, but since he is a child, it is a privilege for him to ask in such an innocent tone as if nothing has happened.

"Not any more."

This is not good. I actually looked so embarrassing in front of a child...

A moment of shame made her clear her throat quickly, and she subconsciously wanted to find an excuse to get away with it.

"Sister just now was just...just, that's right! Sister Rikka was just asleep just now, so she didn't notice little Ash."

"Sister, do you sleep with your eyes open like Zhang Fei? That's amazing!"

Seeing the gazes filled with admiration, the girl, whose face flushed with embarrassment, almost couldn't hold it in.

For Rikka, who is cautious by nature, finding excuses to lie is a completely unfamiliar experience. This is the result of speaking without thinking in an emergency.

"I'm sorry, Ash..."

After half-crouching down so that their eyes were at the same level, Rikka put her hands on the boy's shoulders and said apologetically.

"Actually, my sister is waiting for someone, so Ash is the same. Are you here to wait for Mana to come home?"

Normally, at this time of day, she should be chatting and laughing with Mana, who was traveling the same way. But today, for some reason, she had been waiting alone until now, even after saying goodbye to Arisu, who had been picked up by the housekeeper, and Makoto, who was anxiously recording a new song, and even after almost everyone else in the school had left, she still hadn't seen her.

Everyone seems to be getting a little weird lately... No, it's more than that.

To be honest, since that Kamen Rider showed up, he has been like a piece of ice inserted into their originally passionate relationship, making everyone who was originally happy and harmonious become quite strange!

Especially me... From the beginning in class, even though I remember the fear of being beaten by him with absolute strength and the resentment when he bullied me! But I still can't help but think about him...

"He's such a scumbag...why on earth can't I let him go?!"

"Don't you know, Sister Liuhua?"

Just as Rikka continued to think to herself, "It's all Kamen Rider's fault," the young man with those shining eyes continued to speak in an innocent manner.

"It seems the student council over there, Mana-sister, has a lot of extra work to do today, so they'll probably be back very late."

"Huh? Is... is that so?"

Liuhua recalled it carefully... Oh no, it seemed like she really said that to herself?

With her lips twitching and her eyes wandering, Rikka gradually recalled something. It seemed that Mana, who had helped her pick up her eraser after class, had indeed reminded her of this, but she had been lost in her thoughts about Kamen Rider and hadn't noticed.

Now... isn't this all my fault? Mana was clearly talking to me, but I was thinking about someone else. Isn't that totally cheating? Oh, Rikka, you idiot, is this how you say cheating? Don't think about these nonsense at a time like this!

Looking at the girl, who seemed to be struggling with her inner conflict, as if the "Network Connection Disconnected" message was overhead, Ash understood. Seeing you're still the same worried, yet trying to act like you don't care, still acting like a stuffy housekeeper, I'm relieved.

"Sister Liuhua."

So in order to prevent this cycle from continuing, the boy who was Ash excitedly took the initiative to speak.

"Can I talk to you about something?"

"You mean?"

Hearing the boy's quiet whisper coming closer, the girl's pupils gradually widened.

"Ah, Rikka, you're here? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me today?"

"..."

The blue-haired girl rubbed her nose, which was inexplicably itchy and wanted to sneeze, and with her hands on her hips, she still looked unhappy as usual.

"Mana, how dare you say that? How could I not wait for you?"

"...?"

I clearly didn't offend Rikka just now, so why did she suddenly get angry? I don't understand. She was completely baffled by her friend's sudden change of attitude, but when Mana turned her attention to the boy next to her, her joy blossomed once again.

"Ah! Even you, Ash, are waiting for me. Mana, I'm so touched~ Ah, of course, Rikka is touched too."

As the time they spent together grew, Ai Aida began to truly love this young man who seemed to understand her in every way and was in tune with her. Gradually, she began to feel reluctant to part with him.

But when I think about the fact that we will eventually be separated, that love gradually turns into double loneliness that overtakes my heart.

"Because I was taken care of by Sister Mana, I must repay her. This is the most important lesson the person most important to me has ever taught me."

"Hmm! That's really nice! I want to meet someone who can say such nice things!"

“I think there will be a chance in the future.”

As for who this person is, of course, he is close yet far away.

"Mana is still so attentive to her new friend, making it seem like I, Rikka, am the one who only mentions her at the end."

She only got half a sentence when she could only speak three and a half sentences on average. Although she was very resentful about being treated differently, when Rikka saw Ash's sunny face, she couldn't help but be more tolerant.

"He's so young, yet he cares so much about her."

Rikka couldn't help but put her fingers into the black hair and simply continued to rub it happily.

"It seems like you've done a great job on what I asked you to do. I have to give you a compliment... Great job, great job!"

"Sister Liuhua, it's so itchy~"

"I think you're really addicted to this, aren't you?" If it weren't for his excellent hair quality and the fact that he never shed, Ash had no doubt their enthusiasm would have plucked his hair until it was as sparse as a felled forest.

Although he felt helpless about such a passionate pat on the head, Ash, who had to pretend to be an innocent child and could not make any counterattacks, could only continue to let her control him.

The good news is that it turns out to be quite comfortable to be acted like a spoiled child like this. The bad news is that he seems to be getting more and more adept at using his looks to act cute naturally.

But... everything is for my plan to save everyone! I have to hold on to my pride!

Chapter 212: A date with Kamen Rider?

"Ah~ When did Rikka become so close to Ash? So cunning!"

Mana, who kept grumbling, could no longer bear it when she saw her close boy fall into Rika's clutches so easily, so she immediately took action as well, and "rubbed" the boy together as if to vent her emotions until she was satisfied.

"All right."

Ai and Rika, who were standing on the left and right sides, each held the boy's hand and planned to go home.

"It's getting late, let's go home! Hmm... you make it sound like we're a family, haha~"

"Wait a minute, Mana."

At this moment, Rika, whose grip on the other side was gradually tightening, took the initiative to propose to her after some hesitation.

"Can you lend me little Ash for a day?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Rikka's words and Mana's surprised voice, Ash secretly kept a straight face to avoid being exposed while shaking his fist in his heart.

The first step of the plan was successful, and Rikka accepted it!

"Hey, hey, why?"

"Because I also...I also want to take care of such a cute Ash and take him out to play."

Even now, Rika is so shy that she doesn't even dare to look people in the eye when talking. This shows that she really can't lie.

"Yes, Mana-nee! I also want to go out and play with Rikka-nee for a day, is that okay?"

Fortunately, due to her still being in shock and the subconscious trust between them as long-time friends, coupled with Ash's final excuse to help her, Ai Aida still didn't notice anything was wrong. Finally, looking at the boy's shining eyes below, she nodded with a hint of reluctance and agreed.

"Well, if even Ash himself thinks so..."

"Wow wow wow~ Ash was picked up and raised as a little brother, and he was so well behaved, Ash! Now Rikka has snatched him away like this, Rikka is so mean!"

"I already said I was just taking him out to play for a while, I'm not not going to return him to you... Who is the bad guy?"

Although Mana has changed her bad habit of getting bored with the old and liking the new, for some reason she always comes up with these jumping topics and ideas that are hard for them to handle. I really don't know who she learned this bad habit from?

Of course, such a sudden outburst required a lot of effort from Ash to not pay attention to Ai's eyes that were filled with regret and loss.

Ah, okay, it might be as obscene as saying "Boki" to Mona Lisa's hand, but I admit it! Whether it was from the beginning or until now, whether as a nihilistic villain or a righteous partner. Mana, the unwilling expression you show when you encounter setbacks is so delicious that I can't stop!

"Bye~ Miss Mana."

But after all, things are different from the past. The boy, who knows that "bullying" should be done in moderation, said one last thing before waving goodbye.

"Don't worry about me, Sister Mana~ I will be back tomorrow to see you again~"

"You must come back early, otherwise..."

The regret and reluctance accumulated on the face of the girl who also waved goodbye gradually reached its peak, and turned into a helpless smile.

"Sister, I'm going to be lonely."

lonely?

It was really a bit unexpected. Ash never expected to get such an answer from her.

Ai Aida, who is sunny and proactive, has friends all over the world, and even wants to influence herself with love, who has always repaid kindness with resentment.

The first thing that comes to mind is loneliness?

-

The main reason why Rikka took the initiative to ask Mana to take him out for a day was because of the secret he had told her before.

"Brother Ash, what on earth did he say to you?"

The Kamen Rider who made her hate and fear him so much, but actually cared about him so much, had somehow asked this young man to bring her these words!

“That’s right!”

The boy, with innocence and honesty written all over his face, pretended to be completely clueless about the situation and nodded.

"That's exactly what the older brother said."

"I mean..."

"The masked knight asked me to tell you something. He wants to go on a date with Rikka!"

Convinced that she hadn't heard wrong, Hishikawa Rika felt as if the fuse of a bomb had been lit in her head, making her entire consciousness filled with an uncomfortable buzzing sound.
