Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Two swords of different colors were flashing the same light at this moment.

"Destiny and the future can be changed!"

The knight and Guangmei leaped side by side, simultaneously raising their gleaming blades towards the monster blocking their way!

“It will definitely change!”

Under the double blow of red and light, between the girl and the knight, there was a dawn of light that cut the monster in two.

Chapter 234: The person I can’t forget, who are you?!

"You... are you?"

When she saw the red-haired girl who was a few years younger than her, Rika was stunned for a moment as if something suddenly dawned on her mind.

"What do you mean who are you and who am I?"

Looking at Rikka who suddenly became dazed in front of him, Aguri, who finally returned to Earth, was also puzzled.

"It's me! Madoka Aguri, Cure Ace!"

"Even though Ash said you were influenced by the enemy and even forgot your mission...but don't tell me that you forgot about me just because I was away for a few days! That's too heartless!"

Listening to Aguri's discontented words, especially her once again arrogantly lecturing with one hand on her hip, her image, like a phantom, recurred in Rikka's mind with a deepening sense of timeliness, becoming clearer each time. Yes, I must remember her!

"You are... you are my friend! Aguri! You finally came back? By your own strength?"

Suddenly remembering something, Rikka opened her mouth so wide in surprise that she could even fit an egg in it.

We should have been companions fighting side by side, why... did we forget about her?

"Huh, I guess I'll have to rely on Ash for the fact that you still remember."

Seeing Rikka waking up from a dream, Aguri could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"And what are you doing? You're wearing your old school uniform. It doesn't fit you at all, and you're practically squeezing out..."

Although he knew there were various reasons behind this, this turn of events was too much for Aguri to bear. What was going on? Was this some kind of erotic play between you and Ash? If so, I don't want to know the details!

"What's the problem with this?"

She pulled at the fabric that was indeed tight on her chest. It was nothing at first, but after she said that, she really began to feel embarrassed and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

“It’s all a problem!”

I really can't complain anymore and I don't want to say anything more. At least now I can come back and reunite with everyone.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Take me to find Arisu and Makoto... By the way."

Speaking of which, Aguri had long felt it was a bit strange. As best friends who were inseparable in a sense, why was it that Rikka was the only one organizing documents in the student union office?

"Where is Mana?"

Where is Ai Aida, who was supposed to be the student council president?

"Well, you ask that."

When she said this, Rikka also showed a thoughtful expression.

"Actually, Mana has asked for leave, so I'm here as the temporary acting president to handle the work."

"asked for leave?"

This was a common occurrence for others, but it was hard for Aguri to believe.

After all, Ai Aida, always eager to help others, always eager to help, always so enthusiastic that she would cause them more trouble than they deserved, even when she was sick and lying in bed, she was still thinking about them... How could she actually ask for leave and then decline? Is this really the Ai Aida?

"Even if you say so, it is indeed the case."

Rikka, who also knew all this, did not think so. She held the same view as Aguri, but had different ideas.

"I think it would be nice to let Mana rest at home."

"Because she seems to be troubled by something lately."

-

If the current Ash heard what Rikka said, he would definitely refute her.

What are you talking about? Mana looks like nothing is wrong right now.

Why was he so sure? Because Ash, or rather Ash, was currently at Aida's house, helping the pink-haired mistress tie her apron securely behind her.

"that's it."

The burgundy ponytail tied at the back swayed gently as it passed by, and Ash could smell the faint scent of lemon shampoo.

"Thanks, brother Ash. It's almost dinner time, you must be hungry, right? I'll make you something delicious right away."

"What do you want to eat? Is it the same as last time?"

"I love everything Mana cooks!"

"You are really a good kid who is not picky about food. You will definitely grow tall and strong in the future!"

Mana, who seemed to be very happy with the boy's compliment, hummed a little tune that was actually off-key, and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two of them.

Anyway, looking at her busying around with the pots and pans, and her obviously enjoying it, Ash didn't see what worries she had. If anything, she seemed happier than before.

Inhaling the aroma of the Aida family's fireworks, Ash, already waiting at the table, gazed at the busy figure tying her apron, her mind wandering for a moment. Back home, it was always her, Reika, and Haruka, the skilled cooks, who took turns cooking. She'd already taken on the responsibilities of a housewife, even before she even married, and she still relished it.

If we were to talk about each person's cooking skills, Haruka's home-cooked dishes tasted ordinary but gave people a home-like warm feeling, while Reika's exquisite dishes were obviously the result of specially learned skills, but it was a pity that the quantity was too small. However, if we were to talk about who suits your taste the most, it would definitely be Ms. Mana Aida, who was born in a hotel!

Besides them, the others seemed to enjoy feeding themselves, especially Prim who came later...

"Well... no matter who makes it, even Hime-chan's desserts are better than Prim's."

"Ash? What the hell were you talking about...?"

"I was just hungry. Thank you, Sister Mana, for giving me dinner!"

He took the bowl from Mana without changing his expression and continued to eat heartily in front of her as if nothing had happened.

"?"

Although Mana felt a little strange about the name he muttered just now, she didn't think too much about it and just thought it was from a cartoon. After taking her own portion, she sat down at the table and started to enjoy her dinner.

"Mom and Dad have to go on business trips away from home during these days every year."

Mana at the dinner table also chatted with him about whatever she had.

"So don't be scared when you go to school after me and you're home alone~"

Although she was telling him not to be afraid, there was a hint of loss in her tone when she said this. Although Ai Aida had mastered the skills and principles of living alone since she was very young, she would always feel lonely on days like this.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why she likes to help others?

But this time...it's not Ash, I mean someone else.

I remember that there should be "someone" who should be by my side so that I won't be lonely anymore.

"But, is it really him..."

This time, it was her turn to mutter to herself while biting her chopsticks.

Now that her memories are gradually becoming clearer, Ai Aida can no longer deceive herself.

Chapter 235: Mana noticed something.

"I understand. If any bad guys come, I'll be the one to protect Sister Mana~!"

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Seeing the boy's serious look and the rice grains still sticking to his lips as if nothing had happened, Ai Aida couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"No need~ I'm very strong, Ash, just take care of yourself."

In that case, sister, I actually hope someone else can say this to me.

Today, the Aida family's house was quieter than usual. After enjoying dinner, the two of them lay on the sofa together.

This reminded Ash of the past when he and they were still at his house. Usually at this time, he would be with a few guys who were busy making noises while chasing the latest update of "Kamen Rider Flame". They would quarrel over trivial matters until they gradually became immersed in the story on TV and quieted down.

Now thinking about it, it was such a happy time, but I didn't have time to enjoy it. But now, they are hugging "me" to sleep, and I have become the Flame Rider on TV.

While thinking about these things, the young man did not forget to secretly glance at the person next to him, but found that she seemed to be doing nothing, just simply looking up at the sky, counting the number of stains on the empty ceiling.

Mana, who is alone, looks so bored.

“Is that so…is that so?”

Is that why she is so enthusiastic and loves to make friends when she is out? In this respect, she is somewhat similar to Hui, but they are different in key aspects.

However, this opportunity is just right for him to ask questions.

"Mana-sister, you're the student council president, but you're taking a sudden leave of absence... Is that really okay?"

Regarding Mana's leave, Ash's actual opinion was the same as Aguri's. It was hard to imagine that someone who loved school so much that she almost treated it as another home would ask for leave for no reason when she was not sick. This was really rare.

If that hadn't happened, Mana would have been able to recover her memory like everyone else after meeting Aguri. But it would only take a few days anyway, so it wouldn't really be a big deal.

"never mind."

In response to Ash's question, Mana, who only thought he was concerned about her, once again responded with her signature smile.

"When I'm not around, you have Sister Rikka to help you. Mana, I have a group of very reliable friends around me!"

However, I always feel like something is missing... someone is missing...

Maybe this is why I want to temporarily withdraw from the inexplicably dull campus environment?

"That's really... great!"

Ash was indeed very happy that Mana had learned to rely on her companions.

But just like Mana herself, Ash also felt like something was missing...

"Okay, it's getting late."

She raised her hand and slapped the boy on the back. Feeling that she had almost gotten over her daze, she was ready to clean up.

"It's almost time for Ash to take a shower and go to bed~"

"Hey, it's still so early..."

"No, as a child, you have to get up early and go to bed early. Or is it that Ash, at his age, still needs his sister to read fairy tales beside him before he can fall asleep?"

"This...this is not necessary!"

Seeing the boy's back, so shy that he almost ran away, Mana burst into laughter and prepared to clean up and go to bed. She was about to speed up her work, now more and more familiar with taking care of children, when she found something strange in Ash's previous seat.

"Well, what is this?"

It’s a strangely shaped toy phone. It looks like it can transform. Is it from a cartoon? It seems like he has played with it before?

But apart from that, Mana always felt as if she had seen this thing somewhere else.

"Ash, is this toy yours? You need to keep it in your room."

"Ah! I actually dropped it... Thank you, Mana-nee!"

"Don't play with toys under the covers at night."

As the young man was putting it away in thanks, Mana, who was finding it increasingly familiar, suddenly remembered where she had seen it before.

"Did that person also hold the same thing in his hand?"

Eh, is this real? Wait, is there a connection... Is this thing really a toy?

As her memory traced back to what happened between her and him, Mana did not notice Ash walking away, but stood there in silence.

"Ash...huh?"

In fact, after the battle with Flame Knight when she first met him, she gradually recalled her story with Ash as if she had awakened.

Whether it was when she wanted to help him, or when she was repeatedly rejected and even hurt, or the vague feelings she still had for him... It was precisely because of this inconsistency that she was troubled, that she did not agree with Makoto and Arisu's suggestion to defeat this "villain" first. Because she was not sure whether the other party was truly her enemy.

"In the past, I really treated you..."

To be honest, Mana is becoming more and more confusing now.
