Before Beru could answer, Mamo, who was still angry, spoke first.

After getting the answer, Ash shrugged and said that it was their business and what they wanted to do had nothing to do with him.

"But what has been agreed upon must be given."

Of course, what Ash was referring to was the evil thought energy.

"You'll keep your promise, right?"

He put down the cup in his hand and looked directly into Beru's eyes under his sunglasses with an aggressive look as if he had seen through them. In the end, in the fierce eye contact, it was Beru who retreated.

He called over the other two, and after a fierce quarrel, they finally paid the evil thought energy together.

"I dislike him."

Looking at Ash leaving the mirror, Mamo was the first to express this idea. After all, it was impossible for her to have a good impression of the person whose favorite parfait was taken away from her.

"Hey, such a self-centered person, will he, for some reason, hinder us from unsealing the Selfish King later?"

"That's indeed a possibility."

They claim to be cooperating but they don't really belong to their camp. The relationship between the two sides is just about using energy to get things done. They are dangerous, powerful, and self-centered. Such people will never be trusted by their selfish organization, even though the few people in the selfish organization are not very harmonious internally.

"So we have to try to exclude him so that he doesn't get in our way, or..."

A dangerous look flashed under Beru's sunglasses.

Find a way to get rid of him!

He learned from some people who could pass on the rings and fire, and crushed the evil thoughts and energy generated from the "negative emotions" in the hearts of intelligent creatures. The energy was automatically converted into the "dark echo" required by the system and absorbed into Ash's body.

Who said that the Dark Echoes on Pretty Cure were so pitifully few? Not to mention the Kamen Riders and the Rangers in the team, even the Ultraman he had encountered were much more than them. As a result, Ash fought a battle but gained basically nothing, which was really unbelievable.

[Absorbing the dark echo....]

[You receive rewards: Sin Seal [Locust], Magic Ring [Sleep], [Dress up], [Light].]

Ash made a killing from the selfish organization and combined with the dark echoes he had been collecting for a long time, a lot of things came out in one go.

"Seals and magician's stuff."

Putting away the seals that were not currently in use, Ash looked at the rings in his hand and recognized their true identity. They were the ring-shaped props used by the magician to cast magic in "Kamen Rider Wizard".

"Sleep for putting people to sleep, dress up for changing clothes, and Light for flashbangs?"

Although he didn't draw anything amazing this time, Ash was not dissatisfied because these things were quite practical in a sense.

Putting the light on his fingers, Ash opened his palms and placed them on his waist.

The magic of the ring requires a contract with the phantom in the body to provide magic power, or the person possesses magic power. Otherwise, it cannot be used. Ash, an ordinary person, naturally does not have any such thing as magic power in his body.

But a miracle happened. With a shout of "Spark! Now!", Ash turned into a high-beam Jinchūriki that was bright enough to blind anyone around him. It was as if there were ten or even nine Akitos transforming in your face.

Ash, who has no magic power, successfully performed magic, and all of this was thanks to his "magic skill" of [Universal Adaptor].

[Universal Adaptor]

It allows the holder to ignore all conditions and restrictions, activate and use all props, and reduce the side effects of props.

It is such a simple ability, but it is enough to be called a magical skill. For example, he can ignore the restrictions of Orphino and transform into Kamen Rider Faiz in a human body. He can also transform into Kamen Rider Bulid without a danger level. If he picks up the Ultraman transformation device, he can show it to you on the spot.

The same is true for the latter to reduce side effects. In practical application, you can transform into Caesar without worrying about becoming a beach guardian, or use Damons to get a few more lives. Of course, it only reduces the side effects, not ineffectively. If used excessively, the sand will still turn into sand.

This ability also has another function, which is to force the linkage of other props that do not belong to the knight system used. This is the reason why he was able to use the Chooser's [Accelerated Arrival] with Longya's Dragon Summoning Machine.

Theoretically, as long as the caliber is right and can be inserted, he can even insert Wang Xiaoming's stripe code card into Blade's awakening machine to transform into Dragon Knight, or even insert Orb's Light Card into Decade's drive to transform into Ultraman, as long as he has these things on hand.

"I haven't tried it, but I think I might be able to become a Pretty Cure... But forget it, in every sense of the word."

Of course, this ability has its drawbacks, as it's also subject to the limitations of the item itself. For example, if he transforms into a Knight in a Bulid without a Danger Level, he'll be locked into the Danger Level of that Knight's transformation threshold, completely defeating the main selling point of the Bulid series' abilities: the ability to increase stats based on emotional fluctuations and increased Danger Levels. This effectively turns the Knight system into a blood-sucking system.

The [Ashura Summoner] he stored in the system item column was gathering dust for this reason.

As the ultimate armor, Shura Armor can make one a king with good and a demon with evil. The transformation requires one to possess the strongest energy in the world and be fearless without any fear in the heart.

Both positive energy and negative energy can become the strongest energy, but if the mind is not pure, it cannot be transformed.

Simply put, you either have to be righteous and without any dark side like an ultimate Madonna, or you have to be extremely bad and evil as if you had eaten a few Dios. You must have a clear and unshakable goal and be extremely pure to meet the requirements.

There is no problem with Ash being fearless, but the latter point is really difficult for Ash. So he can indeed transform, but the purity of justice and evil is not enough, resulting in the Shura armor he transformed not paying any attention to him at all, and he can't use any abilities or weapons, and it is useless except for taking beatings.

This caused Yaxiu, who had stolen the Shura Summoning Device from Xiaotian, who no longer wanted this thing, and was planning to reach the sky with the help of the power of the ultimate armor, to have his plan aborted. In the end, he could only regretfully let it become his warehouse manager for ten thousand years.

"Cough cough--" After the glowing ended, Ash covered his chest and coughed twice. He felt his physical strength draining away and his body became a little weaker.

Probably because he had no magic power, he used his physical strength and vitality as a substitute.

"Wow—how dazzling!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Ash turned around and saw a little blue-haired girl covering her eyes at the corner of the street.

Remember, her name is Hishikawa Rikka, the blue Pretty Cure?

What are you doing?

Chapter 12: Girl's Troubles

Thinking of the experience of being beaten for no reason a few days ago, Liuhua felt uncomfortable all over.

After learning what Ash said through Ai's retelling, Rikka couldn't accept it at all.

"It's too much to waste Mana's kindness and say that everything is just for yourself!"

"Isn't this completely self-centered?"

If the elves hadn't confirmed that Ash was a human, Rikka would have thought that he was a new senior official of a selfish organization based on his self-centered behavior.

At this point, Rikka's affection for Ash had already fallen below the bottom line, although it wasn't much to begin with.

To the point that Rikka would secretly pray that she would never meet him again.

As a result, today, when I went out for a walk to relax because I felt a little depressed because my good friends Ai and Makoto were too close, I met Ash who was standing on the side of the road pointing at the air in front of him.

The other party seemed to have not noticed her yet, so Liuhua quickly hid.

"Rikka, that person is!"

"I saw it... Raziel, keep your voice down!"

Curiosity slowly arose, and Rika, who couldn't help but want to see what this person was going to do, secretly followed him.

Then he was flashed in the face by Ash who turned into a high-beam dog.

"Mo, Mo Bushi——(so dazzling)!"

After rubbing her eyes hard for a long time, she finally regained her sight. When Rikka opened her tearful eyes, she saw Ash's face right in front of her.

Ash, who was also curious about what the person who was peeping at him was doing, unknowingly moved his face closer and gave Rikka a big "surprise".

"Yo."

Imitating the boss from her previous life, a certain coffee shop manager greeted her, and then she saw Rikka, whose cheeks turned red rapidly, falling backwards while screaming.

"How careless you are." Ash reached out and grabbed Rikka's arm as she was about to fall backwards. The girl's expression suddenly became even more flustered.

“Wuwaa ...

Face, face is too close!

What I thought was indeed right, Mana, this person is really too dangerous.

"What? I was going to ask you what you were doing."

Seeing Rikka like this, Ash suddenly became playful and deliberately reached out to straighten Rikka's crooked glasses.

"Rikka, run away!"

Just as the girl's brain was about to shut down, her elf brought her back to her senses by shouting in her ear. The man and the elf screamed and turned and ran away.

Ah, ran away.

"Am I that scary? Really, I'm not some giant monster."

So Ash started running too.

Ash was jogging all the way, following behind Rikka not too close, using his adult's healthy body to bully the junior high school girl's physical strength, just thinking of it as jogging for fitness, until the blue-haired girl finally couldn't run anymore and stopped.

"You, you, you--" Rika, who actually had no motor nerves, held her knees and gasped for breath, sweating profusely.

"Why are you chasing me?!"

"Because you ran away, of course I would chase you."

The instinct to pursue others has always been buried in human genes, so isn't it obvious?

"N-I won't let you hurt Rikka's Rachel!"

Raziel, who was loud but weak, wanted to loudly warn Ash to retreat, but this only made Ash come closer.

"Don't come over here!" Liuhua, who could no longer run, held on to the wall behind her, holding on to Raziel, who also had a terrified face, and wanted to escape but couldn't find the direction. Finally, she made up her mind and shouted loudly.

"If you come any closer, I'll call for help!"

Although he wanted to continue with the line "No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out", but considering that if the other party really screamed, he might end up in jail and eat pork chop rice, Ash stopped pressing with a little regret.

"So why did you run?"

Hearing this, Rikka immediately looked at Ash with eyes full of resentment, "How dare you ask me this?"

"You attacked us inexplicably before, how can I trust you?"

Ash nodded, that was true.

"Are you saying you've joined a selfish organization?"

"I wouldn't call it surrendering to them. I just took some evil energy from them, so I can be considered a strategic partner."

Ash had no intention of keeping it secret and revealed the whole situation in just a few words.

"Are you going to be an enemy of Pretty Cure just for this reason, Rachel?!"

"So I told you the reason, didn't that girl named Love tell you? It seems that your relationship with her is not good."

"Taking on Pretty Cure just for fun is too much, Rachel..."

"certainly not!"

The girl's sudden outburst startled the elf in her arms, and even Ash looked at her. Just when he talked about her relationship with love, she suddenly reacted so strongly.

"Ai and I have been childhood sweethearts and best friends! We can't compare to that idol who has captured everyone's attention in just a few days!"

Now it was Ash's turn to be a little surprised. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Rikka talked about this topic, a resentful black shadow suddenly appeared behind her. It was really outrageous that Ash could see it clearly.

Then Rikka started talking like a bunch of beans, and Ash selectively listened to some of them and pieced together the truth of the matter: it was basically because their purple idol "MakouP" transferred to their school and attracted everyone's attention, especially the enthusiastic Ai Aida. Seeing that her former friend was now hanging out with that idol all day, Rikka got jealous.

"So you like Aida Ai, and you got jealous when you saw her with that Makoto?"

"So...that's it."

Although what he said was basically correct, Ash's words sounded strange to Rikka.

This was indeed the first time Ash had seen this kind of situation. Since the friendships he had encountered in the previous worlds were mostly passionate ones between men, this novel relationship between girls immediately piqued his interest.

"So you two are in that kind of relationship? Junior high school students these days really have a lot of fun."

"What's the relationship?" Rikka, who didn't understand Ash's riddle, was full of question marks, but after seeing Ash's slightly humiliating gesture, her cheeks quickly turned red, and she screamed and slapped Ash's gesture away.

"You, you, you, what are you talking about!" It was unknown how many times in such a short period of time that Rika had been made blush by Ash.

"Are you stupid? We are both girls, how can we be in that kind of relationship?"

"That kind of relationship has nothing to do with gender," Ash said nonchalantly, then added seriously, "Even if it's that kind of relationship, it's probably not going to end well for you guys."

"?"

"Even if you're childhood sweethearts, even if you were Pretty Cure together, no matter how close you are, you can't live together forever."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Ash was just spouting some meaningless nonsense he had read in a street stall magazine, but Rikka took note of it.

"The end result is that you each form your own families, occasionally exchange parenting tips, and then you're back to your own business. Even the best relationships can fade at any time. Is this—hmm?"

Raziel, the elf with a dog-like appearance, kicked Ash in the face with red eyes.

"Don't taint the pure friendship between young girls with your filthy thoughts, Rachel!"
