Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"like...?"

"It's okay, Ash." Although the flames on the man's body were indeed scorching hot, if he clenched his palms like this, he would feel even warmer. "You've said so many embarrassing things, so let me join you now."

"You poor girl with only a sharp tongue..."

If looks could kill, then love would have died hundreds of times in Catherine's eyes.

"Already, it's okay."

"My mother, who led so many soldiers to disrupt the situation at the critical moment, and who was resurrected by Kaler and then appeared before me, didn't appear here just to chat with us about these trivial family matters, right?"

With the sound of the helmet snapping shut as he put it back on, Ash raised his fist towards her without hesitation.

"Whether you were ordered by him to oppose us, or simply wanted to repeat what happened before for your own sake."

It's often said that parents are their children's first role models and teachers. Children can learn countless things from their elders, and I've certainly learned a lot from you, to some extent...

But today, I also want to teach you something in return.

"It's about time you learned to let go of your child."

"..."

Emerging from Catherine, who seemed to be dejected and silent, the space was covered with a layer of darkness filled with horror, causing Ai Aida, who was holding Ash's hand even harder, to be on high alert for a moment.

"Such words are against the rules, my little Ash."

Let me, who always only thinks about myself, learn to consider the feelings of other people besides myself, and even learn to let go?

As the team's powerful Jinchūriki "Kal" whose ability to control the power of infinite parallel worlds is even far superior to "Bockvals", he finally dragged Catherine, who was originally completely killed, out of the boundary of death and restored her completely after a series of complicated operations on various things including the timeline and parallel world line.

"You have such an impatient temper, kid."

And now, the shadow of the witch who had absorbed all the power of the previous Witch of Despair and was able to devour the positive emotions of the entire world in the blink of an eye has also been completely reproduced.

After allowing herself to be swallowed by the pure dark echo like black mud that surged from the soles of her feet, the Witch of Despair, Catherine Frederica, stood up again and stood in front of Ash again!

"It really hasn't changed at all~!"

The negative energy that was enough to swallow up the entire world was overwhelming them like a tsunami!

Feeling the strength coming from his hand, the man gently squeezed the soft palm in response.

"I want to apologize for dragging you into this family matter that has nothing to do with you."

"...You said those things to someone, and you still think it has nothing to do with me?"

From her initial hesitation to her renewed determination, Ai Aida didn't even waste half a second before she showed that smile again.

"Ash."

"Ok?"

"This time, I will protect you."

Compared to the somewhat forced smile she had shown to Ash during their previous date, the smile she gave him now was much more innocent.

The mere half-second of distraction that took his attention away was enough for the other party, unable to bear watching Catherine being so affectionate, to do many things.

"The relationship is progressing so quickly. It's really disrespectful to me as a mother!"

The waves emitted from the dark light condensed in his hands were like a broken crescent moon, flying through the middle and forcing the connection between the two people to the sides!

When they turned around and looked at the deep furrows that had been plowed behind them, even though they knew that they had a position relationship and would not affect the outside world, the expressions of the two were still unprecedentedly ugly.

Mana...Love! Once again, it's our turn to fight side by side!

Even though they were far apart, the golden-haired girl, who could still hear Ash's inner thoughts, nodded beautifully. When the sounds of footsteps erupted under their feet, the two of them crossed each other and ran towards the dark figure at full speed!

"The reason you were able to use your dream to break my despair last time, which should have given me the upper hand, was because of the unique circumstances that triggered the miracle between you and them, right?"

Looking at the two people who separated in embarrassment and glared at her, the restless excitement in her heart made her lick her even drier lips.

"So, are you able to create another miracle to break this despair?!"

"Or will I use my existence to completely devour all the joy, resistance, and entanglements you've had so far!?"

Arrows of love's light and arrows of passionate fire exploded in her body at the same time, but even though she was enveloped in such light and heat, her wild laughter did not diminish in the slightest.

"Which side will the answer be? Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

Chapter 248: Taking My Girlfriend to Domestic Violence My Mom

The two exchanged glances briefly.

"Want to fight, Ash? But she's your mother! It's strange that mother and son would turn blades against each other. It's so strange!"

She is indeed my mother, but she is also my enemy, so do not hesitate to cure your heart! The moment you hesitate, you will be defeated!

From beneath the witch-like feet of Catherine, a dark wave surged toward them like an ocean wave! The Knight and Guangmei quickly retreated to the sides, barely avoiding the dark energy that nearly burned their feet.

"Wow, there's really no mercy at all...!"

Not long ago, Ai Aida thought that this would be the kind of plot development where Ash would take her to meet his parents. She even kept a forced smile on her face when she was dissed by the evil mother-in-law. She didn't expect the result to be like this!

However, if I give up here, I'd be unworthy of being a Pretty Cure!

"Ash's mother—Miss Catherine!" A pink energy shield erupted from a heart-shaped brooch, shielding the two of them. Adhering to her inherent kindness and the tradition of Pretty Cure, Ai Aida was determined to persuade and influence her. "If you were Ash's mother, and he were your son! There's no reason for you to be so cruel! Why don't you try to consider his feelings?"

Without even looking at her face, dark energy began to spin from the witch's fingertips and condensed into a spike, which was then fired out and pierced fiercely into the vibrating barrier!

"Please, think about the good times you and your son spent together—"

"I left when he was very young, and when I discovered his talent and came back, he was kidnapped again, so there is no such thing."

Another spike pierced the previous one's tail like a chain, trying to push the previous one in. Spider-web-like cracks began to burst out from the pierced position, and at the same time, it seemed to crack her heart.

"Then...then please remember carefully, the love a mother has for her son—"

"Love? That's right. At first, I just regarded him as a pet, but later he became completely my own. That's why I have always loved him. Yes, this kind of punishment is my love!"

After another spike flew over, the barrier, which was already covered with cracks and on the verge of collapse, finally exploded completely with this crisp sound like broken glass in the sky.

"If you want to lecture me with the same old talk about love and justice, don't bother. It's more than just annoying. I have no intention of dealing with a child who only thinks about love and hope!"

I understand. Even someone like Ai Aida, who lives in a pure and beautiful world, can understand it. The way she looks at me and Ash now is full of contempt from a superior. In such eyes, I can't even be considered the same species to her, right?

It's not that she disagrees, she simply looks down on people like this who always say things so naive that only children would believe them!

"Sorry."

Ash quickly caught Mana from behind, blocking the debris with his flames. He even had the time to joke with her. "My family's style is a little out of touch with the world."

To have it become like this...isn't this family relationship a little too serious? "But having to fight with your own mother, this kind of thing is too sad-"

"Don't worry about it, Mana." Ash patted her shoulder and silently shifted all the responsibility to himself. "My killing her is already a fact of the past that cannot be changed. Now, for some reason, I just have to do it again to send her back to where she belongs."

"So you don't have to worry about it. This is not your responsibility, Cure Heart."

Between her thin lips that were unable to close due to the past surprise, Ai just stared at the knight in front of her with her wine-red eyes, who was talking in a relaxed tone as if he was discussing what to eat tonight, and she could not take her eyes away.

For Ash, who now appears to be so calm and indifferent that it makes people feel distressed, the door that was slightly opened before is finally completely opened at this moment.

"Ash..."

You don't want to make me worry, but I know you are not so relaxed.

I understand... I kind of understand. It's not just the important memories that remind me of you as the battle gradually resurfaces, but also the thing I have to do now.

I want to help you, I want to save you.

I have to save you.

As the distance between them widened, the dark energy that had been surging like waves finally stopped chasing them. Then, like living creatures, they began to surge back toward Catherine's feet, gathering together again with a gurgling sound, as if something was brewing.

"It seems that Ash lacks respect for his elders. It would be best if I could fill that gap here."

As a time traveler who existed even earlier than Ashu, she already possessed powerful telepathic powers. After seizing the power that originally belonged to Disbia and becoming the new generation of "Witch of Despair", she now possessed the power to challenge and devour the light of the entire world!

The evidence is that no matter whether it was the arrow of light shot by Ai or the arrow of fire shot by Ash, no matter whether it was the idealistic power of light or the materialistic power of heat, when they hit her body that did not dodge, there was no effect, and all the attacks disappeared like mud into the sea.

"Little girl, you're absolutely right. I've always only thought about my own affairs. Is there anything wrong with that? To me, possessing great power means I can boss around and control any existence weaker than myself!"

Catherine's feet lifted off the ground, and she gradually flew... no, rather, she hovered high, supported by the materialized energy of despair! The dark, tragic energy gradually propped up a spider-like giant beneath her feet. Catherine, riding on the giant's back with ease, even had the leisure to cross her legs and casually instructed the giant to attack them.

"Giant... This is quite traditional—wait, Mana!"

Facing such a giant, Ai Aida, whose special attack against giant monsters seemed to have triggered, instinctively wanted to open her heart bow and arrow to launch a huge attack, but at this moment, Ash suddenly attacked and rushed her out. Before Mana, who was lying on the ground, could react, the giant's mouth spewed out a guillotine-like thread, slicing the place where she was standing into pieces.

An opponent this huge, yet possessing such excessive agility and range of movement is simply cheating! ?

Chapter 249: Being abused by my mother with my girlfriend

"You know what? It's like you casually start a new game, thinking you'll enjoy it for a single round. But then you unexpectedly win a jackpot you wouldn't see in a thousand, ten thousand years... no, a billion years. The first character you're given has a UR rank with a four-digit base stat. Ah, how can you not be so excited and want to do something with it?"

It seemed that she quite enjoyed the sight of the two people below being chased to exhaustion. Catherine, who was so full of malice that she was about to overflow, even had the leisure to pour herself a glass of red wine to enjoy herself more.

"Tell me, how could he possibly allow such a precious child to be bred with a yellow-haired wild monster that just popped out of the bushes outside?!"

With her raised fingers, she clamped the arrow of light that was shooting straight at her face. Now, Catherine and Mana below had the same dark expression.

"That's such an exaggeration... Calling two people in love 'breeding' is way too vulgar!"

As long as the two of you agree with each other, there is no need to care about other people's opinions!

"Did you speak? You poor, lowly woman who kidnapped my son!"

In the blink of an eye, the dark energy dyed the arrow of light with the color of despair, and with a backhand thrust, it swung straight at Mana below! But before it could hit, the flames, controlled by the knight, made contact with it with a crackling explosion.

"It's really too much to casually call someone else's life a game!"

Ash, who blocked the attack in time, now has more and more consistent views with Mana.

"Really? But I saw that in other worlds, Ash also loved playing games like this with his good friends. Hehehe~ Is there anything more joyful for a mother than seeing her precious son inherit her good qualities?"

"Is this...is this an advantage?"

"It's not a good thing to inherit something like this!" Being chased all the way like this was not a solution. Seeing that they were going in circles and there was no way forward, Ash and Ai stopped at the same time. Just as the spider giant was about to bite with its fangs aimed at them, a dazzling red light flashed.

"Wow~?" Catherine looked at the crimson sword in Ash's hand, which he used to repel the giant, and she also showed interest and nostalgia. "Isn't this my Satan Saber? You use it quite well, don't you?"

Although I just stole it from the King of Creation in a certain world, I'm quite happy to see you using it so diligently.

"Yeah, since it's my mom's legacy, it's normal for me to use it, right?"

"You really dare to say that in front of your mother... huh?"

As she was speaking, Catherine looked at Ash controlling the magic weapon that could ignore defense and cooperating with Mana to continuously force back the spider giant. She felt something was wrong the more she looked.

"That's not right. Where did your dark echo go?"

Last time you were able to use it to turn into a dragon like that... Let’s not talk about all this for now. Why did it disappear? Otherwise, why are you so weak now?

"I collected these to help Him." Ash, wielding his blade constantly to slash away incoming spider webs, spoke with a tone that sounded more casual than sharing the potato chips he'd brought with him. "So I'm using this stuff to fulfill a promise to Him."

If it was the first time that Catherine denied Ash's relationship with Ai, then hearing this was the second time her defense was broken, even more than before.

"You said you collected those Dark Echoes that would make you more powerful than anyone else... and you just gave them to Him like that?!"

The witch, eyes ablaze with crimson, leaped down from the giant's head, her crimson glow radiating from her lips. She drew the dark scythe, a weapon befitting a witch, and brought it down like a guillotine. With a single blow, she completely suppressed Ash!

"Mom doesn't remember ever raising you to be such a wasteful child!"

As expected of the "Witch of Despair" who had seized all the powers from another world, even Ash's current "reburning" state was unable to withstand such layers of pure violence.

"Yeah, because you didn't teach me anything!"

Just as Ash was being forced to retreat by the scythe hanging from his forehead, a new force came from behind to help support his feet. Without a word, Ai Aida stood at his side, holding the heart-shaped bow and arrow in her hand, and together with him, she resisted the "guillotine"!

This also gave Ash the confidence to speak louder.

"See? Pretty Cure like this! I should stand beside them, support them. I don't need something so dark, right?"

"Shut up!"

From simple violent oppression to sharp cutting, the brutal sickle in Catherine's hand was almost dancing, and the offensive like a storm collided with the weapons in the hands of the two people, sparking continuous sparks.

"Are you trying to say that the friendships and bonds you've gained along the way are the treasure of this adventure? Ash... I clearly emphasized this to you during our goodbyes, didn't I?

It’s okay to like this kind of cartoon as a hobby, but it’s absolutely not okay to take this kind of purely entertaining stuff used to fool children seriously!

In this day and age, anyone who sees this will feel that what is actually in your hands is more important than those empty talk!

"is that so...!"
