Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

The sealed King of Selfishness, huh? The enemy's boss, the one who possesses the most "evil energy."

Seeing Ash's thoughtful expression, Joe couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking for a moment.

"You are really—"

Before Joe could finish his next words, he was pushed aside by Ash. Joe wanted to pull his hand away, but was shocked to find that his palm was pressing on his shoulder like an iron clamp, causing pain.

How strong is this guy?

"You want a reason? Well, I'll give you one."

Through Ash's eyes, for a moment, Joe saw only endless nothingness.

"Because I can, I want to, so I will."

"How self-centered—!"

"Now, get out of the way."

Pushing Joe aside again, facing the other's incredulous look, Ash walked towards the hospital entrance.

"But she actually used sumo as an excuse. She's not a wrestler, so she's really amazing."

When Ash walked to the door, he thought about the excuse that Ai Aida, who came with him, made to the receiving doctor, and he felt funny.

But forget it, no matter what she said, it has nothing to do with me anyway...

"Mr. Ash——"

Hearing the signature energetic voice of a certain girl behind him, he tutted and turned around.

The girl with a Band-Aid on her face ran towards Ash, waving as if nothing had happened.

"You, are you okay?"

He showed no mercy, and his expression of love made Ash begin to suspect that she was actually an alien orphan sent from a planet on the verge of destruction.

"I, Ai Aida, am the student council president of Dabei First Middle School. This is nothing!"

"I don't think this has anything to do with the student council president."

Ash took a step back, ready to see what Ai, whose expression had turned serious, was about to say to him.

Is it anger? Fear? Confusion? Or resentment?

Then he saw that Ai, with no trace of gloom on her face, also took a step back and bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you so much for sending Makoto and the others to the hospital!"

All the replies Ash had prepared were now useless. He looked at the back of the girl's head as she bowed and fell silent for a moment.

"I really don't understand you."

It was clearly me who beat you up like this, but I was kind enough to show you some kindness in the end, and you thanked me.

"Because this matter is one thing at a time, what Mr. Ash did in the end is also true, so I should thank him on behalf of myself and my friends!"

Ai still vividly remembers the scene where Ash chose to pull out a gun and shoot his contracted beast in order to protect her.

She is a girl who will never forget the kindness others have shown her.

"However, Mr. Ash, you did do something excessive!"

Ai raised her head again, looked straight into Ash's face and spoke calmly.

"Please apologize to Xia Lulu and Liuhua for your unreasonable behavior!"

"..."

Hearing Ai's words without a trace of confusion, Ash suddenly felt irritated and inexplicably disgusted.

What? What you said is so correct and serious, as if it makes sense. Do I have to listen to correct truths?

I am different from you. I have not survived until now by being right!

"It's my fault that you guys are like this, but I won't apologize."

If I apologize, wouldn't that mean I lose?

I won't lose!

But what Ash was not sure about was whether the disgust in his heart at this moment was really directed at the girl in front of him?

"Goo~"

Hearing Ash's words, Mana pouted in dissatisfaction and puffed up her cheeks, which made her look quite cute.

"stare--!"

The pink diamond-like eyes stared straight at Ash's face until Ash turned away due to the naked gaze.

"I go first."

"Wait, Mr. Ash!"

Ai called out to Ash again.

"Why, have you found a rebuttal to my words?"

"I can't really put my finger on it. At least I can't find any reason to refute it right now. Besides... I don't think what Mr. Ash said is entirely wrong." The girl looked directly into Ash's eyes. "But even so, I still can't agree with your self-centered philosophy! I think there must be something wrong with what you said, Mr. Ash!"

Ash didn't say anything. He knew clearly that understanding and agreement were two different things.

"Since you still believe in what you said, just pretend I didn't say anything." Ash waved his hand. If people could be convinced by reason alone, there wouldn't be so many conflicts and wars in the world.

"As a Pretty Cure, I want to defeat selfish monsters. My heart for helping others will never change!"

"Then, I will become true friends with Mr. Ash and give this love to Mr. Ash as well."

In Ai Aida's opinion, what kind of person is Ash?

Self-centered, bad taste, seems to be a bad guy, but not that bad, it's really a confusing and contradictory personality.

Ai secretly made up her mind to find a way to truly understand him and become his true friend! Then she could change and correct Mr. Yaxiu's distorted ideas!

The group of people that Ai Aida wanted to dedicate her love to help others also surprisingly included Ash.

After listening to Ai's words, Ash finally walked out the door without looking back.

"It's enough to talk about it in a dream."

"I'm not just talking nonsense. How can you know if something can be done if you don't try? Well, it's more than just trying!"

Ai shook her head violently, pointing at Ash and making her declaration in the surprised eyes of the patient next to her.

"I will definitely correct Mr. Ash and make him understand the beauty of love!"

Then, join us and together we will defeat the selfish organization and save the Poker Kingdom!

Although the road ahead may be very difficult, the determined girl's shining spirit heart is the proof of her faith.

Ai Aida is full of determination.

"Jie Ren, that little girl said the same thing as you."

The familiar feeling of déjà vu made him start to recall other people from the past, but although he could even call out their names, he could not remember their appearance. The face that should have been his friend was as blurry as the reflection of a stone thrown into the water.

I always feel that every time I die, my memory becomes fuzzy... Never mind.

[system]

Subconsciously not paying attention, he began to switch out of the system to check the "harvest" from the previous battle, but looking at the collection situation on the panel, Ash's expression became subtle for a moment.

"You Pretty Cure, you have so little 'Dark Echo' on you."

P.S.: I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for their support, including tips and votes. I bow to you. (Duang, duang, duang!)

This book is probably the best one I have ever written, and I want to stick to it, so please lend me your enthusiasm!

ps2: The full opener is finished, it landed smoothly, it's really beautiful! I can't wait to see it.

Chapter 11: The "Invincible" Universal Adaptor

After retrieving the photographic equipment he had placed in the abandoned warehouse early in the morning, Ash prepared to go to the villain organization to collect the reward.

The three selfish cadres sat in front of the small TV and watched the entire battle between Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure. When Ira and Mamo looked at Ash again, they immediately showed an expression as if they were looking at a monster.

"They actually did it! It's terrifying! They're even more ruthless than us..."

"Is this guy really human?"

Assuming that the other party was praising him, Ash walked to the bar naturally, took the parfait from Mamo's hand and started eating it.

"I'm 1000% human. If you say that again, I'll sue you for defamation."

I feel like the taste is not good enough, it has no flavor, I need to add some sugar to make it delicious.

"Hey!" Mamo's hair stood on end in anger when the parfait in her hand suddenly disappeared. "That was my parfait!"

"Ah, what did you say?"

In front of Mamo, he scooped out all the strawberries on the top with a big spoon and stuffed them into his mouth. With thick ice cream on his lips, Ash looked innocently at Mamo who was angry because her food was taken away.

I've already helped you with the Pretty Cure, so what's wrong with eating some of your parfait?

"You bastard!"

"Calm down, Mamo."

Just when Mamo was about to explode in anger and attack Ash regardless of the consequences, Beru, the most mature of the trio, interrupted her.

"Beru, stay out of my way, I'm going to teach him a lesson today!"

"If you're serious about it, you'll do it."

"Gu..." Mamo reacted immediately after hearing this. She had just seen what Ash did to those little girls. Even though she was a member of the dark organization "Selfish Organization", she would still feel horrified if she thought about replacing the person being beaten in the video with herself.

It's just a parfait anyway. Lady Honmamo doesn't need to get angry with a mere human.

"It doesn't taste like anything. Is there any sugar?"

"you--"

Are you taking advantage of me?

The more she endured, the angrier she got. The more she took a step back, the more she thought about the loss. Mamo, who could no longer bear it, finally decided -

I'm scared.

Silently reciting the idea that adults should not bear grudges, Mamo, with more and more crossroads popping up above her head, silently cursed him for getting diabetes behind his back and threw a can of candy to Ash.

Beru's eyes hidden behind his sunglasses began to secretly observe Ash who was sprinkling candy on the parfait in his hand, but he found that Ash's attention was not on the parfait in his hand, but was also looking at him.

You look at me, and I look at you.

"We agreed that if I defeat Pretty Cure, you would give me evil energy. I have fulfilled my part of the promise. Now it's time to show your sincerity."

"I have doubts about this."

Even though Ash really defeated Pretty Cure, Beru still didn't believe in Ash from the bottom of his heart, no matter his indifferent attitude or the way he acted.

It is precisely because selfish organizations are made up of self-centered people that he cannot trust such self-centered people.

"You defeated the Pretty Cure, so why did you let them go in the end...?

Beru didn't finish the rest of his words, but the meaning was self-evident.

But Beru, who was waiting for Ash to fall into his language trap, only received a natural response from the other party.

"What are you talking about? It's not a matter of course that I let them go."

"My agreement with you was to defeat them, not to kill them. I certainly have no reason to do anything extra like that."

"You mean you won't hurt them?!"

"I mean." He slammed the empty sugar bowl on the table, startling Ira next to him. "To do this kind of thing."

"You have to pay more."

After saying this, he drank the parfait in his hand under the ashamed gaze of Ira.

Ira's mouth twitched slightly when he saw Ash add a whole can of sugar. Just seeing this made his mouth bitter, but Ash ate it all without changing his expression.

This guy is definitely a monster in human skin, absolutely! Ira once again began to doubt Ash's human purity.

"No need. We are the ones who will completely defeat Pretty Cure. Don't even think about interfering!"
