Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Now, when she closed her eyes, there would be no more pain and nightmares... No, actually the nightmares would not let her go so soon, but as long as he was by her side, these were all bearable.

Because she knows that she is no longer alone and has to hold on as in the past. Whether it is happiness, suffering, joy or sadness, the person who can share it with her is right next to her.

What she felt was such infinite peace of mind and happiness.

But such happiness also touched her other more gentle, fragile and self-blaming heart.

"But, Ash? Is it really okay for me to be so happy now?" She called out her lover's name, the sorrowful woman's voice reappearing in her voice, a soft, self-reproachful tone. "Am I really worthy of this?"

After all, it was Hua himself who finally collapsed after feeling pain on his own, causing this world-destroying crisis. The former hero became the worst enemy, causing countless people to suffer. Do I really have the qualifications to feel the happiness I have now?

"I..."

"Don't say anything more. If that's the case, it's already in the past."

This wasn't the first time Ash had heard her say something like this. The energetic and strong Precure... no, it was Nonoka who was just too gentle. She certainly couldn't take it for granted that she had done this, even though she herself was the biggest victim.

"Listen up, Flower."

After falling in love, Ash showed much more gentleness and patience than before. He quietly lifted the hair beside her ear and let his hot mouth move closer to hers.

"If you're not worthy, then neither am I."

After all, this is my problem too, isn't it?

As for her self-blame, all Ash could do was to deny such thoughts countless times. If she wanted to feel pain 1000 times, then he would have to affirm her 1001 times.

"But..."

"No one is an undefeated hero. Failure, or even mistakes, is certainly sad, but don't deny your past. After all, before me, didn't you protect this world well?"

"If you're not worthy, then no one else is."

"Or so." Ash, with a wicked grin on his face as he thought of something, moved a little closer. When he was almost about to kiss her burning red earlobe, he suddenly blew a breath into it, causing Hua to let out a shy scream.

As their relationship quickly warmed up over the past few days, Ash also got to know many of her weaknesses, such as her overly sensitive ears.

"Do you really want me to tell you I love you 3000 times? Ha~ What a greedy woman you are."

"No, no!"

Finally, Nonoka jumped up from him, covering her ears, and ran to the side with her face red with shame. Ash followed her with a laugh.

Is it such a happy thing to like someone?

Then I really have to thank you very much.

After returning home, Ash was treated very warmly by the Nono family.

Although it was not the first time they were guests in her house, but now that everyone understood, it was as if the other family members had seen them for the first time.

"Just come back."

This was the gentle mother Nono Sumire's simple response to the two. A touching reunion does not necessarily require a touching scene. She just gave them a gentle and encouraging look as usual at the dinner table.

Then, Nono Kotori, with a look of having expected this, temporarily borrowed Hana. After she came back, whenever Ash looked over, he could always see Hana's blushing face. He didn't know what the younger sister had said to the older sister.

Then came Nono Moritaro, the father who had just come back from the gates of hell. He had a good chat with Ash and first thanked Hana and himself for their help. Then, after learning about the secret of the twisted and hurtful relationship between the Time Flame and Cure Yell, he punched her without hesitation for his daughter.

"But since you're still a patient, I won't make a fuss about it...hiss, it hurts a little."

Sitting on the edge of the bed in Nonoka's room, Ash covered half of his face, feeling a little confused. It was clearly her who had asked him to come to her room with a blushing face before, so how come he was the one waiting for her this time?

"I'm in."

Come on, come on! Nonoka! We can't back down here!

The girl cheered herself up in her heart.

"This is your room, you don't have to be so polite, right?"

The door with only a dim light on was slowly pushed open. When Ash saw Cure Yell coming in with awkward and reserved movements, he raised an eyebrow.

The sound of the door closing swayed in the silent and dim room. There were only two people in the vast darkness.

Without saying a word, the distance between them shortened rapidly. She was sitting on Ash's legs without knowing when, and her hand reached through his armpit and pressed on the bed. They could both hear the intimate sound of each other's breathing.

"It's been a hard day, Ash must be very tired." Hua deliberately used a relaxed tone, but Ash sounded forcedly mature. "In that case, let Hua help you relax today, ah——"

Even after transforming, Hana was still grabbed by the wrist and pressed down on the bed.

"This isn't relaxation, it's a call for me to work harder, right?"

Nonoka raised her face and stared deeply into Ash's dark eyes. In the depths of those eyes, they both saw the same feelings for each other.

"I thought you were jealous of Cure Yell?"

"But... I don't know what looks good." Looking at the face so close, Hua was no longer shy. "This is the most beautiful dress I think..."

"Flower, you are the most beautiful right now. No further explanation is needed."

As some of the light faded, she was still wearing Yell's outfit, only her hair and appearance had changed back to Nonoka's. Her burgundy hair was naturally scattered on the soft bed, and only the bangs covering one eye exuded a wonderful charm.

"I really do love you now, Hua."

The malicious Ash raised his chin towards him with a pitiful yet unavoidable expression, and their faces were getting closer and closer.

"Ash... Do you think I can be this happy?"

Once again, she asked herself this question.

"Who knows? But..."

After a small moan, two portions of warmth and wetness overlapped each other.

Warm love sneaks in and licks everything around it.

The lingering love reached its peak at this moment, as if intoxicated and ecstatic. In the gaps between the dim lights, overlapping figures danced gracefully.

"Um, Mr. Ash..."

Nonoka, an unspeakably soft voice came.

"Aren't you going to turn off the lights?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I almost embarrassed the lady."

Then even the last bit of darkness disappeared.

【Bonus】Case File 80 Flower: Newborn!

After one night, both of them grew up a lot.

One of them has grown significantly more than the other.

Likewise, Nonokotori stayed awake all night. The reason was that her room was only separated from her sister's by a wall.

Now she finally understood why her parents suddenly said they were going to a friend's house to play or even stay overnight late last night. She was so angry now. Last night, let alone the wall, she wrapped herself in the quilt and shivered. Even if she had no intention of eavesdropping, she still heard everything she should and shouldn't have heard.

The brother-in-law who was so gentle in the first half turned into a complete devil in the second half. Her poor sister's "music" sounded... Now Xiaoniao just hated herself for having such a good imagination.

"It should have stopped by now...right?"

Although the sound from next door stopped for a while after the sun rose, even the little bird was still not 100% sure.

Even though she's my useless sister, she's still my sister after all, so it's better to confirm it, right?

The bird standing outside the door was hesitant. When he raised his finger and was hesitating whether to knock on the door, the door just opened. A living hormone diffuser like a city wall stood there, completely blocking the gap in the door.

Yaxiu, with his upper body naked, drank the mineral water in his hand in one gulp. After taking off his clothes, the man perfectly demonstrated what the term "undressing and showing off his muscles" meant. His muscular and slender figure showed what perfect streamline was like an ancient Greek sculpture. The sweat dripping down his face as his muscles contracted and relaxed, reflecting the sunlight behind him.

However, the taller the body, the more Xiaoniao worries about her useless sister... Was it true that her sister's "poor" body, which could be described as malnourished, was not "ruined" by the guy in front of her?

"Sister, is she... okay?"

"I already told her that she wasn't relaxing, but telling me to keep working hard." The man, who had shaped the water bottle into a round pancake with one hand, flicked it, letting it fall into the trash can in the living room downstairs, following simple geometry. He then walked downstairs to the kitchen with a familiar air. "But your sister isn't as delicate as you think. Let her rest a little longer."

But the more she said this, the more worried Xiao Niao became. After mustering up the courage to open the bedroom door that seemed to lead to a "devil's den", the girl, with a face that was red with embarrassment, hurriedly closed the door again.

"M...Cream puffs!"

After calming herself down by taking several deep breaths, the girl pinched her nose and opened the door again, shouting inside in a muffled voice.

"Sister, are you still alive?"

"..."

"elder sister?"

"She's still alive... Let me lie down for a while..." The bird finally felt relieved when it heard the vague and weak voice from inside. "She almost died..."

"So...my brother-in-law last night..."

"He's nothing!"

Okay, stop asking. It’s impolite to ask again.

"Surprise, drive into the world~" Wearing an apron and dressed like a family man, Ash flipped the fried egg in a frying pan while humming a song. He looked curiously at Hana who was being helped towards the bathroom, and finally boasted to the virtual panel beside him.

"Is your brother powerful?"

"If Pretty Cure's energy hadn't subtly strengthened her body over the past eight years, you could have called an ambulance by now." After revealing Ash's past, the system screen remained silent for a moment before displaying a rather heavy message: "Do you intend to continue like this?"

"No? Maybe it's because of that energy burst earlier. I'm completely free now."

[But you know, those dark moments won't disappear for no reason. There will still be a day when your past will catch up with you again.]

As the spatula flipped the pan, the sound of sizzling could be heard as the hot oil fried the poached eggs until both sides were golden brown.

"If there's no escape from fate, then I'll just have to face it." Ash's expression didn't change at all, as if he'd already made up his mind from the very beginning. "Before then, I want to make her happy. After all, she's been waiting for me. I can't let her down, right?"

Because you love her?

"Because I love her."

[sorry.]

After leaving the last three words, Ash took the fried eggs out of the pot and witnessed the system panel disappear.

"Don't worry about it. After all, people like us who are with you can't turn back once we take that step... Didn't we agree on this long ago?"

Hua, you asked me before whether I am a person worthy of happiness. This question is the same for me...

"Huh...alive."

She walked out of the steaming bathroom, rubbing her fluffy hair, and her eyebrows were deeply frowned when she glanced at Ash's back.

Hua, with pouting lips, was wearing the green shirt that Ash had taken off. She dragged her painful ankle to Ash's back, took a deep breath, stretched out her slender green fingers, and gave him a fierce attack on the back of his waist with her raised jade fingers.

"Hiss—" Ash, who was hit so suddenly, also gasped in pain. "What, so sudden?"

"Newborn!"

"?"

"Haha."

The bird sitting at the other end had no idea what to say and could only laugh dryly without any emotion, just as an accompaniment to their flash bombs.

The clown came around to her seat and lay limply on the table, continuing to weakly pick at the fried egg in front of her but couldn't get it done. After playing for a long time, Ash, who couldn't bear it any longer, grabbed her collar and made her sit up straight, then inserted half of his own egg yolk into her mouth and fed it.

"Hmm, delicious!" After tasting the indescribable deliciousness, Hua's eyes lit up and she immediately became energetic. She puffed up her cheeks and started to struggle with the fried egg in front of her.

"Ha, who do you think I learned this from? I wouldn't call myself the best in the universe, but I'm definitely second best!"

"Anything Ash makes is delicious! Ahwuahwu——"

so good...

Looking at the two people at the other end of the table, it was rare to see my sister smile so relaxedly. This ordinary yet warm scene of the two people in front of me made Xiaoniao, who was watching this scene, also smile like her sister-in-law.

In this way, I can finally put my useless sister at ease.

She took out her phone and took a photo of the two people who continued to stuff fried eggs into Hua's mouth. When she was about to put it away, a message push caught the girl's eye, making her eyes widen and she almost spit out the delicious food in her mouth.

"Sister, brother-in-law, something bad has happened! Something serious has happened, and you're on the news!"
