Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Then prove it to me."

Today's Ai Aida was completely different, both before and after meeting him. So Ash bent down again, letting his arms reach over her plump thighs, and then lifted her up in a princess hug.

"Isn't this enough to satisfy me?"

The closer they get, the more Ai Aida can't bear the urge to act coquettishly towards him... But it's not enough, you have to be patient, Mana!

"It's not enough. Ash knows everything about me, but I don't know much about Ash!"

The greedy Mana continued to ask for more from Ash with an "aggressive" attitude.

"I want to know, tell me more about Ash!"

"If I'm the one doing all the talking, then that seems a little unfair, doesn't it?"

Ai Aida was quite proactive today, but Ash didn't hate this kind of dominance...it was more like he liked it to some extent?

"Well, let me tell you a little bit about myself, too. Let's start with the moment we discovered that the selfish monster we defeated before had reappeared, and it didn't match up with the situation before."

Compared to this silly couple who were so inexplicably compatible after the chase with laughter and joy, Rikka and the others who had been trying to follow them from behind were the ones who suffered the most.

"Run...what are you running so fast for?"

Forget about trying to keep up with the two inhumanly strong guys ahead of them. Even just getting halfway up, Rikka felt like she was going to collapse. If Arisu hadn't reacted quickly and transformed to fly up with the others, the Doki Doki Pretty Cure group would have been wiped out in a bizarre and hilarious way.

"Makoto and Aguri are about to pass out from exhaustion, eh? Rikka, are you okay? Do you want me to get some water..."

"Never mind, don't mind me, look! Look at what's happening to them, Arisu?"

"Huh~?"

Looking at the two people leaning against each other, talking and laughing, and sometimes suddenly arguing or even about to fight, Arisu, who continued to try to adjust the telescope in his hand to focus, also had a bitter face and was not sure of the answer.

"It looks like they were arguing or fighting..."

"Hey, how can this be? Hurry up and stop them——"

"It also looks a bit like flirting?"

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Are these two on good terms or bad terms? How can their expressions change faster than turning the pages of a book?

"So, Mana, your initial attitude towards me, along with everyone else's, was proof that you were confused by my existence."

However, compared to the onlookers next to him, Ash, who is now in close contact with Ai Aida, is more "shocked" by the current Ai Aida who is "completely different" from before!

Normally, she might be the perfect, enthusiastic and energetic president, but when she was around, it was as if she had opened the door to a new world. Sometimes she was a smiling "little devil," sometimes she was so unrestrained that she even wanted to tease him. Not long ago, she was an "egoist" who didn't care much about irrelevant things, but then, at the critical moment, she would suddenly become shy and jealous, eating the flying "rabbit".

And Ash couldn't see any flaws or disguises in these changes.

"If this is what makes it cute... then isn't this a little too cute?"

Now Ash is beginning to miss the time when he first arrived and refused all verbal attacks and communication, and only wanted to communicate with people in the simplest and most direct way, using his fists.

"You've always wanted to know, right? When did my impression of you end?"

After such a long time and this short but extremely happy date, Mana was finally willing to speak up.

"In fact, I don't remember anything. In my impression, you have always been that extremely malicious person who rejected all good intentions and was ready to destroy the world with your selfish self at any time!"

That's why when we first met, my reaction was such direct hostility towards you.

"So, why?"

This was a bit of a surprise, and it was arguably the worst answer, but it also brought Ash more questions.

"Why were you so gentle to me last night?"

"Because my heart, my feelings, and my instincts are all giving me answers that are completely different from what I remember."

My memory tells me that you are an enemy that must be defeated, but my intuition tells me that you are someone who is worthy and needs to be trusted.

"So... I'm shaken. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"I am wavering and want to find out what the true truth is... and more."

The arm that was leaning on Ash finally loosened up reluctantly, and Mana stood on the ground again, facing Ash, and gave him a real but somewhat difficult smile.

"There's always a voice in my heart telling me that I can't just leave you alone."

Otherwise, I will experience a despair more painful than any other loss...Is that right?

"So from yesterday until today's date, I want to see with my own eyes who you really are and what you really mean to me."

In front of the serious Ai Aida, with the whole world covered by a layer of silver mist, Ash, who was standing opposite her, also responded to her seriously.

"So, did you get an answer?"

"No, I'm more confused than ever... Hey, Ash? Please tell me, who are you to me, and what am I to you?"

Ash, please tell me? I feel like if you tell me now, I'll have the courage to believe it again.

Ash understood.

Now this completely confused Mana is just like me who was determined to fight her in the end even though it was meaningless.

This moment is just like that moment.

"I understand, Mana."

So, let’s do it again.

"What...Ash?"

In front of the stunned Mana, Ash seemed to have returned to that day and put the belt on again.

"Come and fight, Mana."

It’s meaningless for me to tell you with my mouth, you have to get the answer through your own hands!

Because some answers can only be obtained through fighting.

And this way, you will no longer have any confusion.

"If this is fate, then it will be a battle between you and me."

Through actual combat, the clash of fists, the answers that cannot be directly expressed in words will flow into the opponent's heart.

"Come and achieve the reality you desire!"

Chapter 243: Actual Flirting.

"Whoa?"

"Ah?"

Suddenly, they met love at the corner. Rikka and the others almost bumped into Ayumi who was holding a rabbit at the corner of the stairs.

"Miss Rikka, why are you here?"

"Eh... who are you?"

As her memory began to gradually recover after contact with Ash, Rikka also successfully recognized Ayumi and the rabbit in her arms.

"Ms. Ayumi? Did you and Ash come here too? You are the one, why are you here?"

"us--"

Since it was too complicated to explain the whole story of Ash's beloved daughter going out all night from the beginning, Ayumi used Puka's two ears to describe it in the briefest way possible.

"Anyway, we're looking for someone, a kid with beautiful blonde hair!"

Through Puka's sensing of high-energy auras, Ayumi finally found this place after rushing all the way. However, now standing near the top of the tower and having a slight fear of heights and not daring to look down, Ayumi really didn't think she could get any useful answers.

As for what exactly Rikka and the others were doing by half-hiding themselves on the side of the stairs... through the gap in the handrail of the stairs behind her, she could almost guess what was going on when she saw Ash and Mana facing each other.

Ayumi, who originally didn't have much hope, received unexpected news from the serious Arisu.

"The blonde child you're talking about... is that the one with the same blonde hair as Mana's transformed Cure Heart?"

"Hey, why do you know?"

"Is it her?"

Following Arisu's finger, Ayumi and Puka in her arms widened their eyes almost simultaneously. Standing where Arisu was pointing was none other than Homi! She was standing in a corner of the tower's observation deck, watching Ash and Mana stare at each other from afar.

Eh? When did we get up there and where did we get to?!

And both Ayumi and Arisu felt... the atmosphere around here was starting to get a little weird.

"Fight...?"

Confused and wanting to get answers from him to find the real Ai Aida, she had never expected that she would get such an answer from him that was full of a sense of déjà vu.

Two people who were so close not long ago, the next moment they were going to fight each other for something unreasonable?

Now I think about it, you said the same thing to me back then.

As a Pretty Cure, she should have refused to repeat the same mistake. However, a voice deep within her heart seemed to be telling her otherwise.

"Mana?"

"Please, Xia Lulu."

Holding the love phone that Xia Lulu had turned into in her hand, when her closed eyes opened again, the original hesitation disappeared, replaced by a more determined will.

"Come on then, Ash!"

The girl put the accessories she took out from the hairpin on her head into her mobile phone, and Ai Aida, who held the transformation device in front of her, was gradually surrounded by a light full of love.

It’s incredible that I can now understand this kind of plot where fists speak.

"This is really delightful, Mana."

The man who was also wearing the belt raised his arms in the strong wind caused by the rapidly rotating tornado, and Ash was also surrounded by flames.

Come to think of it, it has been so long since I fought with you that I almost forgot such a pleasant time.

"Precure Love Link!"

"Henshin!"

Once again, Pretty Cure VS Kamen Rider!

"Step, step..."

The cold wind from 990 meters high blew across the two people who were confronting each other. As if driven by the wind, the two began to move their feet to the sides in the same direction. They started by testing each other step by step, and then they ran sideways towards each other with their arms outstretched!

When a billboard passed between the two running people, Ash raised the burning flame in his palm and threw it towards Ai. Ai immediately rolled sideways and raised the heart-shaped bow and arrows in her hand and shot continuously. At the same time, Ash jumped up and the heart-shaped light arrows pierced his original position.

"ha--!"

"drink--!"

The two kept running, attacking without losing sight of their feet. They circled the tower's observation deck, the place where hope had once begun, and continued running. As the two stepped on the cascading sparks, the heart-filled pink Precure and the blazing black KamenRider collided once again.

"You didn't nag me this time!"

While the two people were holding each other's wrists to resist this force, the direct gaze between their eyes seemed to be about to create sparks in the air.

"I really know it this time!"

I want to find out what the other person is thinking, and I also want to convey my thoughts to him. Since words don't work, I can only communicate with my fists!

Isn't this the method you taught me, Ash?

"This time, our fight is not to hurt each other!"

Seeing the declaration of justice made by the finger pointing behind him after they had distanced themselves again, Ash, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth under his helmet, imitated her signature gesture and pointed his finger at her.

"Miss Ai, who has forgotten love, let me, Kamen Rider Flame, take back your heartbeat!"

"Ah! This is clearly my line!"

"Wow, what a disgusting couple!"

The two of them started fighting again with the sound of fists and kicks. The few people nearby who wanted to find Baomei but didn't want to disturb the atmosphere could no longer tell whether they were fighting or flirting.

But to be honest, there is a "little" difference in data capabilities between Flame Knight and Angel of Love, and the exchange of glances with Mana now is more like dancing fists than fighting, which is indeed more like flirting than fighting.

So after a few fights, their fists were covered with dust and felt hot, and they both unconsciously licked their dry lips.

"So, Mana."
