Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

I surrender! I surrender! I've never seen Mana act like such a scoundrel before!

Next it was Ash's turn to ask questions.

Although his inspection method was indeed a bit rough, it shouldn't wake anyone up. Ash still had some self-awareness. If that was the case, then there was only one possibility!

"So you actually haven't slept all night, and you were pretending to be asleep to lure me out through a sting operation?"

I never expected that I would be deceived by her so many times in the past, but this time I was deceived by her back?

Ash was unwilling to accept that she had actually deceived him.

"I did have such a plan."

Stroking her hair that was messed up by the pillow, Ai smiled a little embarrassedly when she said this.

"I was just waiting and waiting, and I accidentally fell asleep... I didn't open my eyes until I felt a slight pain in my chest."

"...When did you see through me?"

"Actually, I didn't see through it."

In fact, just before this, Mana became suspicious when she saw Ash holding the same "toy phone" as Ash. Although there was no actual evidence, a certain degree of "intuition" gave her the answer.

"And this kid named Ash... I do like kids, but I felt so inexplicably close to him right from the start. Looking back on it, it does seem a little strange, doesn't it?"

As for why Mana subconsciously cared so much for Ash...it turns out that this "Ash" was disguised as Ash himself at 12 years old, and she had seen him before. Isn't it natural for them to feel close to each other?

"So I felt there must be something fishy going on, so I gradually distanced myself from him until I saw it with my own eyes today..."

So even if nothing happened tonight, Mana was prepared to pretend to see through everything and "threaten" Ash, asking him to use the connections that should exist to ask Ash out for a good time.

"So, is this what they call a girl's sharper intuition?"

"Indeed, not to mention you're a Pretty Cure."

Looking at the smile with only the head showing outside, Ash nodded in response.

Then, in the silent gaze on the bed, separated only by a blanket, the most obvious question remained.

"Am I not your most evil enemy who must be defeated? Why didn't you attack me immediately?"

And you caught me red-handed when I was about to do something "wrong"... Ash really couldn't imagine how she could remain so calm in this situation and even be willing to sit down and talk to him in a friendly manner?

"..."

"what!"

Seeing the man's silence, Mana frowned and protested loudly.

"If you think I'm that kind of fickle woman, I'll be really angry!"

"I've always believed in you, so I never thought about it that way."

"Um, thank you."

Although it was a bit strange, after pausing for a moment with her lips slightly opened as if smiling, Mana continued to open her mouth and stick out her tongue.

"the answer is……"

"Ok!"

In front of the other person's expectant gaze, her lips, which were about to open, suddenly closed again, and she put on Ai Aida's signature perfect smile again.

"It's getting late, let's talk about these things tomorrow."

"what?!"

Mana chuckled, pleased with Ash's surprised expression. "I remember him always playing pranks like this on me. Now that I've gotten a chance to fight back, I realize why he loves this kind of prank. It turns out it works so well."

"It's already so late. In order to avoid being unable to sleep after knowing it, I'm going to sleep now."

As he spoke, he spread out the blanket wrapped around him again and lay down as if nothing had happened to Ash who was sitting silently beside him.

"Haha~ You woke me up in the first place. I was really sleepy, too..."

“…Then me too.”

"Wait!"

Mana quickly spoke up to stop Ash from lying down beside her, and then pointed to the half-open door without changing her expression under his gaze.

"Please go back to your bed, Mr. Ash. You should understand the principle of no physical contact between men and women, right?"

"cut……"

Ash, who didn't expect to be "kicked out" in this way, curled his lips and muttered a few words as he got out of bed and put on his shoes again.

"You've already done that kind of thing, why are you still being shy about it..."

"Wait, wait!"

Perhaps hearing Ash's mumbling, the face half-hidden behind the blankets was suddenly filled with steaming heat and a flush of red. Perhaps thinking of something "strange," Ai Aida lost her previous relaxed attitude towards Ash, leaving only a sense of shame stuck on her tongue.

"So, we...really...did...that...thing...?"

"Oh, of course it's true."

"Snapped!"

The pillow thrown from Mana's hand, whose face had turned completely red with embarrassment and turned into a steam princess, hit Ash's face directly.

"Rikka and I will never do that kind of thing with you in bed together!"

"...But you really did it, didn't you? You even sat on it and controlled it yourself, so I said you're being so shy now—guwaa?"

Another pillow, still with a faint fragrance, hit the man on the head.

"You're obscene! I told you I don't want to sleep with you, get out of here~!"

Chapter 240: Mana is very different today!

"What!? Mana is going on a date with that Kamen Rider?!"

Upon hearing the news, Kenzaki Makoto couldn't sit still for a moment. She hurriedly grabbed Dabi and immediately prepared to transform into "CureSword" to go and help out.

"Anyway, it must be that bastard who threatened Mana, right?"

Don't be afraid, Mana, your good friend Kenzaki Makoto is here to save you oh oh oh oh oh!!!

"Wait!"

She was so excited, but her two friends' expressions showed that they didn't think so at all.

"Well, calm down, Makoto-kun~"

Just when she was about to charge forward, Rikka, who looked troubled, and Arisu, who was smiling and saying nice things, stopped her on the left and right. No matter how she struggled, they showed no sign of letting go. Then, Aguri, who looked serious, walked over from the opposite side.

"I clearly told you otherwise, but you still don't believe me... Humph! You're such a stubborn CureSword! You're totally unworthy of being a Pretty Cure!"

Although Aguri's appearance made Makoto remember many things, even so, she still couldn't trust Ash very well now.

"But, this kind of thing must be caused by someone with bad intentions!"

Why would she think so? After all...why would Mana suddenly change her mind and go on a date with someone she originally thought was her enemy?!

"I don't deny that, but what is the truth?"

Aguri calmed down, keeping a serious expression on his face, and shook the index finger he extended to her in front of his face.

"Pretty Cure's Five Vows, Number Seven! Don't just believe what you see, but question your heart!"

Hearing this, the other two people who were still holding Makoto back to prevent her from getting too excited and leaving looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The Five Vows of Pretty Cure... weren't there originally six?"

"Well, maybe it's just a new addition due to the changing times? Anyway, I agree with this one as well."

The final result was three to one. It seemed that no one could stop the other two people from dating for the time being.

At least for now.

Standing in front of her home, Ai Aida was still dressed in her purple shirt and pink pleated skirt. Her fair ankles, wrapped in the light purple silk, rubbed gently, as if she was waiting for something. While tidying her burgundy hair, Mana, with a hint of shyness in her smile, kept glancing towards the door until she saw him walk out.

"so……"

A gentle breeze blew the corner of the girl's pleated skirt, swaying the stand-up collar of the man's pure white jacket. Looking at the man before her, whose expression was serious yet somewhat puzzled, Aida couldn't help but nod.

I hadn't noticed before when I was just blindly on guard against him, but Ash is actually quite handsome... No wonder I was attracted to him in my memory.

Also, she actually used the time she got from taking leave from school to date boys. This was something I had never thought of doing in the past when I just wanted to be a good child, and now when she actually did it, she felt an unprecedented excitement.

"As the man, Mr. Ash wouldn't want to talk about something that spoils the mood on a date, would you?"

Well, it seems that I won’t be able to get the standard answer I want until this “date” is over.

"Well then~ As a date with Mana, Ash, as a man, you have to satisfy me well!"

"To use such a direct method... and to call yourself that, it's really new to Mana."

As he was complaining, Ash felt a heaviness in his hand, and then he realized that the other party had put the handbag in his hand without any hesitation.

"As a man, it's only natural to help your female companion get the goodies, right?"

Whether you listen or see, you can tell that Ai Aida is very happy and in high spirits.

I don't know if she is happy about the date or happy that Ash is the one going on the date?

"Your statement is a bit sexist, although I don't mind it, but..."

This kind of "Aida Ai" is somewhat "eye-opening" for Ash.

Miss Mana, who does whatever she wants and is greedy and self-serving... At first glance, it may sound like her character is completely OOC, but when you think about it, it actually fits her character quite well, doesn't it?

From Ash's personal perspective, "CureHert," who from the very beginning unlimitedly spread his overflowing love to the entire world, is, in a sense, the same as the "Selfish King" who simply wanted to monopolize everything out of desire.

While purely in terms of power, the two are diametrically opposed, light and dark, beauty versus evil, a classic storyline from the Pretty Cure series, at its core, it seems to have a bit of a classic "enemy from the same source" vibe. It's precisely because of this that two people, both similar and opposite to one another, are so drawn to each other...

Even Mana only gradually learned to correct her mistakes after experiencing her own excessive "reality beatings". Now, it seems that the whole world has been formatted back to its original stage.

Will Ai Aida... turn back into the "happy prince" who "does whatever he wants" and wants to give love to everyone?

"Ash, what are you standing there for? If this is a date, you better keep an eye on your female companion!"

Well... so far, nothing is known, and that's the same for her as it is for me.

"Why are you so nervous~"

Seeing Ash's current silence, Mana couldn't help but want to try to tease him.

"You like me that much, Mana? Cheer up~ I thought if it was Ash, you would act even more casual and indifferent."

"That's not the question anymore."

Ash just suddenly thought of something quite embarrassing.

As his first love, theoretically they should have a very close relationship, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he and her had never had any romantic experiences of any kind, and their first date really started at this awkward time.

Could it be that he chose to do it now to "retaliate" for my slowness? If so, I wouldn't be surprised, hahaha...

They walked past the Aida family's restaurant, the Yotsuba Group's castle, and the TV station that Makoto often visited. The two seemed to be recalling the footprints left by Pretty Cure in this world. At this moment, Mana stopped before turning a corner into a new street ahead.

"Speaking of which..."

She had been leading Ash all the way with great enthusiasm and initiative, but suddenly stopped. Even her excited voice gradually subsided, and she asked Ash hesitantly, "We need a date, but what does it take to be considered a date?"

"Aha?!"

Seeing her suddenly stop, Ash thought she was going to do something, and as soon as he got closer, he heard these words, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"It was Mana who told you that you wanted to go on a date. Why are you asking me?"

241

Chapter 241 Let’s begin our date.

Although she has a catchphrase like "heart-beating", is good at flirting, and even her battle name after transformation is "CureHeart", Ai Aida's talk about love has always been just talk on paper. Now that she is actually in the scene, she realizes... real-life "love" is completely different from what she imagined!

Not to mention anything else, my heart was beating so fast that it almost turned into a spiritual heart and flew out.

"Well, then tell me if you want to go on a date with me!"

Looking at the little face in front of him that turned red with shame after he asked a question in return, the silent Ash finally nodded slightly.
