Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

This blow contained the girl's disgust at his specious ideas, her anger at what happened to her and her friends, and her doubts about his way of doing things, but all these combined still failed to knock him down.

"Mana—what are you going to do to Mana!"

Ignoring the voice of the girl's elf partner, Xia Lulu, Ash squatted down while licking his loose fangs, and turned the girl in front of him over so that she was facing up. Even though the girl had lost consciousness, she still had an unwilling expression on her face.

"Are you so unwilling to fight me?"

Looking back, it was the same when I fought other heroes in the past. Although they were not afraid of fighting, most of them were not happy about it.

They were also angry and confused. He couldn't understand why Ash had to fight them even though he had no hostility towards them. In their eyes, this was a completely unreasonable and meaningless act.

But a fight that made no sense to others was another matter to Ash.

As mentioned in previous chapters, Ash gains something called "Dark Echoes" from battles with both good and bad actors, which is exactly what his system needs. Fighting members of the Dark Organization yields large quantities of Dark Echoes, but of poor quality. Fighting heroes yields smaller quantities of Dark Echoes, but of surprisingly high quality.

But that's not the whole reason. The fact is that he prefers the different kind of satisfaction that the enemy brings him during battle.

During battle, the "bridge" formed by the collision of fists and feet conveys not only strength but also the opponent's emotions. He enjoys sensing the emotions stirring in the opponent's heart, as if this will make his heart, numb from the constant death, beat again. In this way, the emptiness caused by the subtle mismatch between his only 12 years of memory and his body will be satisfied. How can he not like this?

So even if there is no reason, he will come to fight with the target or do something else that can make people excited.

As mentioned before, he will enjoy every moment he lives.

"Compared to those boring villains who always have inflated desires for some reason, I certainly prefer fighting heroes like you who have hearts as bright as the sun."

"Just because of this?" The elves beside him opened their mouths wide when they heard his words. They had begun to suspect that this person had escaped from a mental hospital.

But how could a mental patient be so powerful? This isn't some abnormal human research center.

"Thank you for the treat, Pretty Cure."

Noticing Ash's gaze, the elves held hands and stood firmly in front of the girl.

"Don't attack the Pretty Cure!"

"Originally, I just wanted to witness the power of the legendary warrior, and today's level is just about enough."

The fairies looked at the serious Ash in front of them with angry eyes. Although they wanted to teach him a lesson on behalf of their partners, even though they could give humans the miraculous power to become Pretty Cure, most fairies did not have the power to fight. So apart from floating in the air and disrupting the sight, the fairies could basically do nothing.

"Come to think of it, you fairies are also their transformation devices." Noticing the fairy's gaze, Ash said sarcastically, "Come to think of it, it's also your fault that they became like this, right?"

"You, how can you say that to Xia Lu?!" The elf Xia Lulu was almost going crazy because of what Ash said.

It was you who took the initiative to beat everyone up like this, how could you be so shameless as to put the blame on us!?

"You were the ones who turned them into Pretty Cure, weren't you?" Ash shrugged. "They had no obligation to help you, but for various reasons, and probably because of you, they transformed, right?"

"They clearly didn't have to bear the fate of fighting. If they hadn't fought, they wouldn't have ended up like this. It was you elves who changed their lives forever. This is an indisputable fact."

Ash's mocking voice hinted at something.

"But..." The fairy wanted to refute, but the words could not come out and she was speechless for a moment.

When they subconsciously began to think about the other party's words, they found that, apart from objective factors, what the other party said actually made some sense?

"What if it wasn't me who defeated them this time, but the Selfish Organization or even that Selfish King himself!" It seemed that the presence of the fairy opened Ash's mouth, and his topic became more and more spicy.

"If they ultimately die because of this, is it because of you as well?"

"A young life was lost for something that had nothing to do with them. After their death, you wept for your partner for a while and then immediately rushed to find the next successor?"

"no--"

"If that's the case, they're really pitiful~"

“That’s not the case…!”

Even if she didn't hurt anyone, the fairy was trembling all over as she was filled with vicious words, tears of grievance and sadness. It wouldn't be surprising if she collapsed the next moment.

"That's not the case...!" A pair of hands tightly grasped Ash's trouser legs.

The girl's weak voice contained a firm strength. At this moment, new strength miraculously emerged from her heart within her exhausted body, and she actually stood up again.

“Mana——!”

With extremely gentle movements, he embraced his partner in his arms. The girl's dusty face was covered by her loose hair and could not be seen, but Ash could feel a sense of power rising from her body.

"I've actually always been very grateful to Xia Lulu. It was Xia Lulu who gave me the power of Pretty Cure and gave me the chance to save Makoto!"

The girl's thoughts were conveyed to the spirits who shared the same thoughts, and Xia Lulu's tears were no longer the color of sadness but healing.

The moment she first encountered the elves, transformed, and fought seemed like yesterday. As a 14-year-old middle school girl, it was natural for her to be afraid of these things, but that day, when she saw Makoto being trapped by the selfish monster, she still rushed forward without hesitation.

Do you need a reason? For Ai Aida, helping others doesn't require a reason!

"Xia Lulu helped me. She allowed me to convey my love to others, to reach more people's hearts! I relied on my own will to help others and fight against the selfish organization!"

"We will never agree with the reasons you gave!"

The girl's eyes flashed brightly, and her roar turned her thoughts into beliefs, using them as weapons to attack Ash's twisted logic.

"..."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Ash rubbed his eyes. In a trance, he saw the shadows of many people, the red warrior carrying the will of his companions, the silver mask hiding sadness, and the unwavering giant of light.

"Are you all idiots...?"

Seeing Ai roaring at the contractor for her partner, the Dark Warrior Dragon, who had long been coveting this girl with extraordinary vitality, finally had a reason to take action. After roaring, which meant "I'm so greedy!", he swam with his streamlined body that shone with metallic luster, swam with his sword tail, and opened his ferocious mouth with terrifying ferocity, ready to swallow Ai and her elf in one gulp.

"Well--"

Ai, who had just stood up and was still weak, could not run. She hugged Xia Lulu tightly to protect her behind her. Looking at the sharp fangs of the mirror monster that had torn countless pieces apart, Ai subconsciously closed her eyes.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

The imagined terror of being swallowed whole never materialized. Instead, I heard a series of crackling gunshots. I opened my eyes just in time to see Ash raise his [Gear Lock Gun], twist the joystick, and fire continuously into the Black Warrior Dragon's gaping mouth.

"Ow—!"

Without any intention of showing mercy just because it was his contracted beast, Ash continued to shoot with an expressionless face, causing sparks to fly all over the body of the Black Warrior Dragon. The originally beautiful matte black armor was stained with an ugly fireworks color because of the exploding bullets.

Long's eyes revealed a human-like grievance. What does that mean? She's already attacking you, so why won't you let me eat?

I understand. This human must have wanted to eat it himself and was afraid I'd snatch it away. Ha! There are still three left. I'll go get the rest!

"Roar--"

Ash turned and glared at the Dark Warrior Dragon, which had picked up Makoto and was swinging her around. "What are you yelling about?" He yelled at the unruly beasts, "You can't eat any of these! Go back to your mirror!"

"Hooooo——"

The dragon's voice was filled with even more grievances. Its rather human-like eyes looked at Ash, who was still glaring at it, full of resentment. It then lowered its head to glance at the gun in Ash's hand, and still obeyed the command. In a flash of light, it passed through the mirror and went to the mirror world on the other side.

"Okay, then next."

He had his fun, but he still couldn't pull up his pants and ignore them. Beating someone was one thing, but leaving them lying there was another.

Looking at the other three girls lying unconscious on the ground, Ash took out his cell phone from his pocket under Ai's vigilant eyes, folded it on both sides and threw it on the ground.

[Ride Gatriker]!

As the sound effect sounded, the closed phone transformed into a special three-wheeled motorcycle equipped with a large-caliber Gatling cannon. Under the action of its built-in "mass conversion mechanism" of the same type as the fantasy driving book, it enlarged to the size of a real motorcycle in a few breaths.

Ai's eyes widened when she saw this scene. She immediately remembered that when Ash left, he also "conjured" a motorcycle in such an unscientific way.

Although Ai Aida is still a junior high school student, she still understands the basic law of conservation of matter. Ash's operation, which is somewhat inconsistent with basic physics, confused her for a while.

“What is this…?”

"Ah? You're asking that. I borrowed it from Touma and Rintaro before, but they forgot to ask me for it, and I forgot to return it."

After saying that, Ash picked up the people on the ground one by one and threw them into the back seat of the car like a human trafficker kidnapping a child.

"and many more!"

Ai opened her hands and stood in front of Ash, preventing him from getting on the car.

"Where are you taking everyone?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a helmet was thrown into Ai's hands. Ash himself took out a black tactical helmet from somewhere and put it on.

"What are you thinking about? You too."

"So where are we going?"

"Where else can we go? The hospital."

ps: Speaking of double updates... In addition to work, I also have to work on nga's Anke pit, which is really too much to handle.

Chapter 10: Ai Aida's determination and a declaration from a friend that she will definitely succeed!

In the dream, a devilish dark figure walked towards Hishikawa Rikka step by step. The eyes under the grid-like mask blurred into a terrifying color, and the corners of the mouth curved into an evil smirk.

The "demon" continued to approach Rikka with terrifying, crooked steps. Rikka wanted to scream, but no sound came out. She wanted to escape, so she sat on the ground, her knees bent together, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

"Hehehe, I like eating fair-skinned children the most~" 8

The demon who easily caught Rikka looked at Rikka's frightened face, and his expression became even more distorted. He opened his big mouth like an iron cage and was about to swallow Rikka into his stomach.

Liuhua, who was lying on the hospital bed, kicked off the quilt and woke up suddenly. With tears in the corners of her eyes, she subconsciously called out someone's name.

"Mana, save me—eh, eh?"

The smell of disinfectant around her made her a little more sober. She patted herself up and down randomly to make sure that she was not eaten, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She only remembered that she was fighting with Ash who was transformed into Kamen Rider. After being subdued in one move, she lost consciousness with a pain in her stomach.

Oh, where's Mana?! Where's Raziel? Where's Arisu? And where's Makoto?

Thinking of her companions, Liuhua suddenly became restless and hurriedly got up to go find them.

"What's wrong, Rikka? Won't you sleep a little longer, Rachel?"

"Raziel!"

The voice of her partner elf Raziel brought back Rikka's sanity, which was about to evaporate. A feeling of regaining what she had lost made her hug Raziel, who looked like a stuffed bear, with gratitude.

"I'm so glad you're okay....By the way, where's everyone else?"

"Rikka, are you awake yet?"

Another voice suddenly sounded in the room, and Rikka quickly placed Raziel next to her as if it were an ordinary stuffed doll.

"Mom?" The person who opened the door was Rikka's mother, Hishikawa Ryoko, who was a doctor. Only then did she realize that she was lying on the hospital bed in a hospital gown.

"I was really shocked when I heard that you and your friends were admitted to the hospital. Fortunately, there was no other problem. It was just heatstroke from over-exercise."

Heatstroke? Rikka was puzzled. She had clearly been beaten up for no apparent reason.

"By the way, Mom, how did I get here?"

"Have you forgotten? You went to play outdoor sumo wrestling together and got heatstroke from overexertion. Mana and Mr. Ash who was passing by brought you here."

Huh? Wait, mom, who is that person behind you?

"Mr. Ash is such a good man. Not only did he take the initiative to drive you here, he also paid for all your expenses. Rikka, you must thank him later."

Hearing her mother's serious words, the corners of Rikka's delicately curved mouth twitched involuntarily.

He's the one who made me like this, and I'm thanking him? What the hell is that?

On the other side, Ash, who was being scolded by Rikka, was blocked by a serious-looking blond man.

"Why did you attack the Pretty Cure ladies?!"

As the person who gave the Pretty Cure the transformation accessories and had been secretly caring for them, Joe Okada rushed to the hospital almost immediately after hearing the news that the Pretty Cure were "destroyed". He was relieved when he learned that everyone had only fainted from exhaustion and had some minor scratches.

He originally thought that they had encountered some particularly powerful selfish monster, or that the cadres or even the enemy's boss, the Selfish King, had personally taken action and were beaten like this. However, what made him unbelievable was that the one who caused all this was the black-haired man in a vest in front of him?

To be honest, the reasons why he did this were even more unbelievable!

"From your tone, you sound like a supporter of Pretty Cure, right?"

Seeing the changing expression on the other person's face, Ash was sure that his guess was correct this time.

"You are obviously a human being, not a member of a selfish organization, why are you attacking Pretty Cure!"

"Oh, maybe I have already joined the selfish organization?" Ash said this deliberately, observing the expression on Joe's face.

"You, do you even know what you're talking about?! Those selfish individuals in the selfish organization can't possibly trust you!"

"And the Selfish King was finally sealed away by Princess An... of the Poker Kingdom. If the Selfish King breaks the seal because of your interference, the world might be destroyed by the Selfish King!"

"If the Selfish King wants to destroy the world, then he can do it. What does it have to do with me?"

While saying these indifferent words, Ash secretly took note of the information in his heart.
