Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Arisu, what's going on between you and Mr. Ash...?" What happened? And it seems that even the band-aid on Arisu's face was put on by Mr. Ash?

"Yeah, Mana probably doesn't know yet." Arisu, in a good mood, calmly recounted what happened yesterday to Ai. "In short, I asked Mr. Ash to help me with special training, and I successfully unlocked a new power."

"Special training, Mr. Ash actually agreed?"

Wait, Mr. Ash, who hadn't given me a good look several times when I was talking, actually agreed to Arisu's request so easily?

"Yes, Mr. Ash is actually a gentle person." Arisu said with a smile while holding his cheek, but Ash next to him seemed a little unhappy when he heard it.

"Don't talk nonsense. I can't afford to use a word like gentleness that doesn't even have anything to do with me."

"I'm Mr. Quayash."

"I don't want that kind of praise."

Watching the scene of Ash and Arisu bickering, Ai's mouth began to twitch. Arisu, how did you do it? Didn't the relationship become better all of a sudden?

If Yuusi knew what Ai was thinking at this moment, she would definitely remind her with a smile and tell her to use a more direct and gentle method to approach Ash.

Ai, who was thinking about what the difference was between herself and Arisu, suddenly remembered Rikka's behavior today. Although she knew that Rikka and Ash came into contact because of that rescue, looking at their relationship, it seems that there will be further developments?

"Rikka, did anything happen between you and Mr. Ash?"

The outspoken Ai asked directly when she had a question, but the question was quickly suppressed by the blushing Rikka.

"Stupid Mana, stop asking such blunt yet misleading questions!"

Seeing Ai looking aggrieved after being scolded by her, Rika had no choice but to continue explaining to her.

"Anyway, he's showing me how to be a doctor, and I'm helping him clean the house."

"It's an equal transaction."

"Hey! Isn't becoming a doctor Rikka's dream? Rikka even asked Mr. Ash to do something like this?!" After hearing what Rikka said, Ai suddenly felt as if he had been shocked for a hundred years. The childhood sweetheart who had always been by his side to play a supporting role also became a stranger at this moment.

"Mana, you don't know. This guy was so careless when he was performing surgery, relying on his own superb skills! And he can't do any housework at all. It's simply..."

Seeing Rikka constantly criticizing Ash, Ai felt more and more depressed. Rikka, you still say that you won't cause misunderstandings!

"What about the horse mouth?!"

Ai, already overwhelmed by the blows she received from her friends Rikka and Arisu, rested her palms on the shoulders of her last friend, her hands trembling slightly. "Makou P will never betray me, right?"

"What do you mean by betrayal? Mana, you're being really weird!"

Hearing Makoto's protest, Ai quickly corrected herself, wanting to hear from her whether Makoto and Ash had something going on. Surely someone as straightforward as Makoto couldn't possibly have any special relationship with Mr. Ash?

"Of course nothing happened between me and him."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Seeing Makoto turning his head away and not daring to look her in the eye, and his stuttering voice, it was as if "I have a trick" and "I am trying to hide something" were written all over his face. Ai Aida completely gave up hope in Kenzaki Makoto.

Well, it turns out that as the first person who wanted to change Mr. Ash, I was actually the last one to make progress, hahahaha - Chao!

Of course, she couldn't utter the last word "love" and she wouldn't change her face on the spot, but the psychological pressure of being left behind by her companions still made her feel bad.

"Mr. Ash..."

"Stop! Please stop looking at me like an abandoned animal. It's going to hurt your conscience."

Hearing what Ash said, Ai immediately looked at Ash with her big, watery eyes.

Oh, I am a kind-hearted person and cannot bear to see such a pitiful scene.

Then I won’t watch it.

Seeing Ash silently pulling it out from his arms and putting on sunglasses in front of her, Ai, whose self-esteem was instantly insulted, turned all the grievances in her heart into anger and began to vent it on Ash.

"Mr. Ash, you are bullying me—!"

"Snapped--"

Qiao, who had been listening in on the entire conversation, slapped himself in the face. "You two are clearly enemies, but could it be that you're actually on really good terms?"

Suddenly, the man had a thought in his heart: "Ah, there is nothing I can do now."

I'm so tired...

"Hahaha, I have to go to discuss business, so please help me take care of Ai-chan."

After putting the baby Ai-chan, who was already very familiar with them, into the girls' hands, Joe staggered away with a frustrated look on his face as if he was no longer useful.

"The Orb Ring flew away just like the Dark Ring."

"Mr. Ash, my name is Joe Okada. What's the point of the Orb Ring?"

"who knows?"

Pretending to be nothing to do with him, Ash looked up at the sky and whistled the melody of a wanderer's harmonica, "Du↗~Du↗~Du↗~Du↗~Du↘~".

"Ash..." Ash, who was joking with the girl, suddenly heard the voice of his boss. He turned around and saw Regina, who was puffing up her cheeks and staring at him with the same eyes as Ai.

"Ash, when did you become so close to them? They're obviously on our side!"

"Traitor, traitor!"

Seeing that Regina was about to start a scene out of dissatisfaction, Ash quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

You can ignore that red-haired idiot, but you can’t ignore this golden-haired God of Wealth.

"That's not the case, Princess. Don't you want to be friends with them?"

"If that's the case, and I become friends with them, my relationship with the princess will be even better—even better. You should be even happier, right?"

Regina stopped, blinked in confusion, and thought carefully about the theory that Ash made up on the spot. Regina felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it...right?

"Princess, you should understand, right?" Seeing Ash's slightly expectant expression, Regina's face quickly changed, instantly turning into an expression of "everything is as I expected."

"Ahem, ahem, of course I understand. What I did just now was just a test for you. Anyway, you did well. Keep up the good work next time!"

Turning his back quietly, Ash's face instantly changed into the same look as Light Yagami's.

Chapter 54: What is the right thing to do?

"So, what did you find? You were so anxiously chasing after a Gurongi before."

"What a weird statement..." Makoto pursed her lips and began to narrate her discovery.

It turned out that they found a sculpture that was almost exactly like the princess. The girls naturally believed that this was the clue and that there must be some connection between the two.

"Really? It's normal for you to think so."

But I think it's a fishing trick, no way, there shouldn't be such an operation in the world of Pretty Cure, right?

After observing the other two cadres, Ash found that they would never use sneak attacks from behind if they could attack head-on, and would never use despicable tactics if they could crush the enemy head-on with their fists. In a sense, they were so bad that they were cute.

Although he didn't trust their stance, Ash trusted their brains, so he ruled out the possibility of fishing for the time being.

Looking at the gorgeous stone sculpture of a woman in front of him with a strange gem hanging on her chest, Ash was sure that he didn't recognize her.

"Since you're sure it's true, why don't you capture the sculptor and interrogate him to get some clues?"

"Don't make it sound like Pretty Cure is some kind of dark organization!" The girls blushed at his matter-of-fact tone. "The problem is, the statue doesn't have the name of the sculptor. Just now, only the older man from the gift shop came and said something strange to it."

I understand. It's the Riddler. I've been one several times. Now I can basically confirm that the guy is definitely having an affair with the princess. I just don't know if he's her lover or fiancé.

For a moment, Ash thought of the various operations of Paradox players, but then he thought that there was probably no soil for the growth of Paradox players in this world, so he gave up.

"By the way, Mr. Ash."

Ai, who was holding Ai-chan and being intimate with her, suddenly remembered something. After rummaging in the cradle for a while, he found a small full bottle of pitch-black liquid. It was the full bottle of Steel Tank that Ash had left in Ai-chan's hands at the beginning.

"this?"

If he hadn't taken this thing out on his own initiative, he would have really forgotten that he had it. However, without the Build-series transformation device, its use is really limited, so it is normal for him to forget it.

Is his memory getting worse? He is still young.

"You can keep it for yourselves, but I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't told me." Picking up the full bottle and shaking it, Ash piled this stuff together with the various linkage props left after his transformation device was damaged, guessing that it was also the best item in the bottom of the box.

"That won't do." Ai shook her head when she heard what Ash said. "Whether Mr. Ash wants it or not is one thing, but whether we give it or not is another."

"Our teachers and parents also taught us this since we were little: if we find someone else's things, we can't take them as our own. We must return them to the original owner."

"Yeah, I was taught the right things since I was little."

But of course when you grow up, society will ask you to do the opposite of the right things you learned since childhood. Under the pretext of so-called "growing up", it will encourage you to actually behave in ways that are completely opposite to what is "right", as if you are not mature if you don't do so.

For example, if you're taught to be honest and trustworthy from a young age, how many people still manage to be honest as they grow up? And do those who are truly and consistently honest live better lives than those who violate the principles they were taught as children? That's not the case, is it?

Those who can carry out the right things have become a minority of "fools".

Thinking of some of the "idiots" he knew and their not-so-good endings, Ash couldn't help but sigh.

"As long as it's considered legitimate, mistakes can be accepted... Never mind."

I have never been able to figure this out, and I am too lazy to think about this kind of thing. If I keep thinking and agonizing over these truths that can only bring me painful consequences while traveling to countless different worlds, then I am afraid that Ash would have gone crazy long ago. I just need to live and die as I please.

"You are so lucky." It is a very happy thing to be able to live in a world where the right thing can be carried out to the end as a matter of course.

"Happiness? Well, we do live a happy life. Does Mr. Ash mean anything else when he says happiness?"

"Don't pursue this issue, it will make you unhappy." Ash shook his head, obviously not willing to dwell on this issue.

"Then, to reward your honesty, I will not attack you for the next few days."

Anyway, I'm tired of playing recently and want to take a break.

"How dare you say that? You're still thinking about continuing that excessive thing?" (referring to the battle)

"Some things require perseverance and you can't give up halfway. I understand, Rikka-chan."

"What does that strange name mean?"

A few words made Rikka furious, and Ash began to turn his attention to Ai-chan who was being held by Ai Aida.

"Qbi~?"

Although this little girl looked very extraordinary, Ash would never attack a baby-like child no matter what. He was just looking at her.

"Looking closely, it's not very cute. It reminds me of those monsters in Super Sentai that make people regress to the age of children. That's a nightmare."

Ash couldn't help but reach out and poke Ai-chan's fair and soft cheek.

"It's so soft." I seem to be addicted to poking and popping it.

“Wuwuwawawa——!”

"Ash——!" x5

After poking the little face a few times, Ash successfully made Ai-chan cry. In an instant, everyone around him looked at him unfriendlyly. Knowing that he had angered everyone, Ash had to retreat.

It turns out that I don't get along with children. After all, children in special effects movies have almost become the death flags of heroes.

"Ash is such an idiot~ Mana, let me do it."

He took the crying Ai-chan from Ai's hands who had a headache, and made all kinds of funny faces naturally, and soon made Ai-chan laugh again.

“So cute~!”

Regina felt healed when she hugged Ai-chan and showed her happy smile. Seeing that Regina could smile from the heart for beautiful things, the girls also began to believe in love. After all, this smile will not lie.

Maybe they can actually become friends with their enemies?

“That’s true.”

Ash was also thinking that this young lady did look a little different from the children of the villain bosses he knew. Rather than being evil, her actions were more like the mischievous pranks of a child, without any disgusting evil aura.

However, although Regina's current family fun with Pretty Cure makes her look like she's betraying the organization, Ash doesn't intend to tell on her or anything like that. It's simply because his personal affection for Regina is far greater than the affection the selfish organization gives him. After all, there's really nothing to give him here.

So what kind of character is the so-called King of Selfishness? If I ever meet him, I wouldn't mind chopping his kidneys off.

"Hopefully a funny guy."

Ash's right hand slowly clenched, and the half-finger glove wrapped around his palm made a crackling sound.
