Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Facing Rikka's unusual look, Arisu looked at his friend with a smile.

"Really, Arisu, please don't make it sound like I'm someone who only clings to Mana."

"What, what, Rika, are you talking about me?" Halfway through the conversation, the protagonist of the topic interrupted.

"I love you, but you have to be nice to Rikka. Because Ai was too enthusiastic towards Makoto and neglected Rikka, Rikka has gone to find someone else's arms."

“Eh————!!” Ai looked at Rikka in surprise with a look of great shock.

"Don't you need me anymore?"

Seeing Ai, who was devastated and about to burst into tears, Rikka felt a great sense of satisfaction in her heart and finally felt proud.

"Don't talk nonsense. Just like Mana and Makoto became good friends, I also found other friends!"

Thinking of Ash's last words, Rikka finally decided on this word.

Mr. Ash said that I could come to him as long as it didn't get in the way, and he even asked for his contact information. So we should be considered friends, right?

"Rikka actually has other friends that I don't know about. Who are they?"

"Mana, what you said is very strange. You are not my only friend."

Of course, she couldn't possibly tell them that the "friend" was someone they all knew, otherwise everything would be exposed.

Seeing Rikka's slightly smug look, Ai pouted a little unhappily.

Rikka actually has a childhood friend like me whom she doesn't know... I've decided that I must find Rikka's hidden friend, and then...

Then I'll become friends with Rikka's friends too! That way, that person will be someone I know.

Rikka didn't know that while she was still feeling the rare "victory", Ai had already started thinking about stealing her "friend".

"Oh no, it's the darkness that's instigating Xia Lu!"

Just as the girls were happily playing around Ai-chan, an elf jumped out and reported to them the news of the enemy's attack. They looked at each other and immediately completed the identity change.

Now they are ready to fulfill their duties in another identity!

"Come on, girls! Your heart-pounding youth is the true strength of Pretty Cure."

"I'm sure that person will be defeated by your efforts."

Joe was blessing these warriors who had transformed into Pretty Cure behind their backs, but he didn't know that on a big tree not far behind him, there was also a pair of eyes observing these girls.

"Pretty Cure..."

This person is Beru of the Selfish Organization. As a cadre who obeys the actions of the villain boss: the Selfish King, Pretty Cure has now become their biggest enemy.

I originally thought that they were just some small characters that would be dealt with quickly, but the number of Pretty Cure increased from one to four.

Even though I set a trap and lured the enemies to the "Poker Kingdom" which is now full of selfish monsters, and took advantage of the home field advantage, they still escaped. I was severely taught a lesson that time.

"Pretty Cure...How can we defeat her?"

And that human! Thinking of Ash, whom he actually hated more, Beru's originally serious expression became even uglier.

Is there any way to solve them together?

Just when he was feeling regretful, Beru accidentally saw the baby "Ai-chan" in the gift shop. His brain immediately started working and a vicious plan came to his mind.

At this time, Ai-chan, Ai Aida, and Ash were still unaware that they had fallen into someone else's scheme.

"Is that Ash? Yes, yes, it's me, Beru."

"Aren't you most interested in interesting things? I have something interesting going on here. Do you want to come?"

Chapter 16: Following Ash, Going Hungry for Nine Meals in Three Days

In a city where the directions of words, scenery, and buildings are all reversed, Ash drives the [Shooter] through the deserted world.

The mirror world of Pretty Cure is very quiet now. There are no mirror monsters, no doppelgangers, and no golden psychopath who likes to slap people and keeps muttering "Tata Kai" in your ear.

"But it's really because there's nothing."

But this calmness was not actually good news for Ash. He looked back with a slight headache at the black dragon following behind his car and absorbing the exhaust gas.

He didn't have a good relationship with his contracted beast, not only because he had tried to stop it and attack it time and again, but also because the Dark Warrior Dragon was now starting to get hungry.

When he got the Dragon Fang Card Box, he hadn't really thought about this problem. In the original work, you can feed your contracted beasts by defeating mirror monsters and obtaining cores, but in the world of Pretty Cure, where can he find wild mirror monsters?

If this continues, the Black Warrior Dragon might prey on the humans in this city, or even attack him as its contractor.

Although the latter possibility is very small, it is not impossible for a starving contracted beast.

Should I let it out to eat people? I don't really want to do that. I feel like I'll be losing if I do that...

"But there's no other way... Are you going to eat this?" There was no way to rush, so Ash took out a fruit from the underworld of Helm from his inventory and shook it in front of it. Because of the helmet blocking it, he didn't have to worry about accidentally eating it.

The pitch-black dragon seemed to understand what he said and swam over slowly to sniff the suspicious fruit.

Then he almost sprayed a mouthful of water (fireball) on the face of his contractor.

"You're such a picky eater! I wonder if there's anything in the Pretty Cure world that can replace life energy."

Thinking about Pretty Cure, Ash drove all the way into the Dabai Center of the Mirror World, and happened to see Ai Aida on the other side through the mirror.

"President, this is the application for the Gardening Department! This is the funding control for the Nap Department. All other processing documents are here."

"Leave it over there, I'll take care of it right away!"

"President, this is the Fashion Club's application to disband."

"Put it in... Hey, does our school have such a department?"

"President, please help me!"

Surrounded by a group of students seeking help, Ai Aida did not look troubled or distressed. Instead, she waved her hand confidently and signaled them to take their time, obviously ready to take on all the commissions.

"Leave it all to me!"

This president is too responsible even for being the president of the student union.

Seeing Ai taking on all the work, Ash couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Who does she think she is, Superman? A simple country girl? Clark Kent?"

Ash does not deny that selflessness is indeed an extremely noble quality, but if the act of lending a helping hand is regarded as a daily obligation, then the original good deed will lose its noble quality and become something that only appears "stupid" and taken for granted.

If this increasingly "stupid" help continues, it will only become a trouble for yourself and others in the end.

"Hasn't she ever thought about what they would think if one day she couldn't help them?"

Looking at Ai on the other side of the mirror, who had agreed to join the softball team as their foreign aid despite Rikka's dissuasion, Ash guessed that she probably had never thought about such a thing at all.

He thought back to Ai's response to his question that day. She also said that she had no reason and simply wanted to help others.

"Maybe you're just like me, love."

Ai suddenly heard a sharp sound coming from behind her. When she covered her ears and looked back, she saw the figure of Long Ya flash by in the mirror.

"Eh?!"

Ai quickly rubbed her eyes, and this time there was nothing in the mirror.

"What's wrong, Mana?"

Ai was undecided in the face of Rikka's concern. "No... I actually saw Mr. Ash. Could it be that I'm really too tired?"

"That's what I'm saying, Mana, you really let others rely on you too much."

"No, I'm just doing small things like trying to help others."

"Then the effort you can make is really too great!"

Ash, who still hadn't found anything to eat for the Dark Dragon, simply put the matter aside (amidst the Dark Dragon's dissatisfied roar), lay on the bed in the rented cabin, and thought about what he should do next.

What should I do next? Amuse myself while collecting Dark Echoes as before, then die after being killed by someone unknown, or disappear in an unknown place after the end?

If you continue to collect dark echoes, it should be easy to get a lot by collecting the "evil energy" of this world.

Speaking of which, what is Dark Echo? If the name alone suggests it's something sinister, then why do they appear in both good and bad people in every world? Why are the Dark Echoes even higher in good people?

Even those pretty girls who look so kind and the giants of light who are considered to be the benchmark of morality have it!

Unfortunately, the system did not give him an answer to this question, or rather, it would not give you any response.

He didn't know what type of system this was, but it was probably not Maoke's iron FW system. After all, it neither communicated with him nor turned into a loli or acted cute and funny. It only coldly issued him tasks and occasionally urged him. It was an overly old-fashioned system setting.

Although the rewards were generous, Ash had to give it a thumbs up for not using any punishment or the like to force him to complete the task except for panel harassment.

"Ahh~ This is so boring. I don't want to do this anymore..."

Just like employees who work 996 every day don’t want to work overtime, Ash, who is now lying in bed, is also occupied by laziness.

Why not just give up everything and settle down as an ordinary person in this world?

Anyway, this world was a rare and overly gentle world he had encountered during his journey, and it seemed quite friendly to him, an outsider.

But Ash also knew that this was just a thought. After all, every time a mission given by the system was completed or he died, he would leave here and continue his journey.

He skillfully opened the system panel that would generate fierce words on his face every time he had such thoughts. Ash, who was feeling sleepy, yawned and slowly sank into the soft bed.

If you really have nothing to do, you can go and cause trouble for the Pretty Cure girls, or it seems like it would be fun to just play with them.

Speaking of which, that blue one...is her name Rikka? She seemed to have said she wanted to come to my place. Is that true?

Ash, who was daydreaming, found that he quite liked these sparkling girls.

[You have a new message]

Near dusk, the vibration of Gatlin's phone, which Ash had placed next to his pillow, woke him up from his sleep. He opened the message and saw that it was from Beru of the Selfish Organization.

Ash actually doesn't like the villain group Selfish Organization. Although its members are a golden combination of shota, mature women, and uncles, this organization has no props or abilities for him to get for free, which is actually boring.

Thinking about the villain organizations he had been in, he really still liked places like the Closed Dynasty and the Sword of Truth. As long as you can make the boss there happy, you can buy good things for free, which is so cool.

"It's really rare that he would come to me on his own initiative."

Then he heard an unexpected topic from the other party.

"You said there was something that might interest me?"

"I will definitely fight you seriously, Pretty Cure, at the dock tomorrow morning. How about this?"

At his side was Ai-chan, who was wrapped in a bubble by his own power. Seeing that Ash was about to take the bait, the corner of the person on the other end of the phone curled up subtly.

Ash was indeed interested in this matter.

After all, there is really no sense of accomplishment in defeating an enemy who didn't try his best, even if the enemy is a "legendary warrior".

Then let me see their true strength.

After hanging up the call with Ash, "Dragon Fang" standing on the street lamp grabbed the panicked Ai-chan by the scruff of the neck, lowered his head and looked down at Joe lying on the ground with worry written all over his face.

"Mr. Ash, why are you attacking Mr. Qiao? It clearly has nothing to do with him!"

Ai, who had just come out of the hospital, met Qiao with Ai-chan. While the two were chatting friendly, they were suddenly attacked by Longya.

Because he was concerned about the love of passers-by around him, Joe didn't have time to transform, so he was knocked to the ground.

However, before she had time to blame herself, the Pretty Cure's favorite "Ai-chan" was taken away by Ryuga again.

"Pretty Cure, if you're concerned about this little creature's life, come to the docks alone tomorrow morning!"

Without answering Ai's question, Ryuga took Ai-chan away from the spot.

After shedding his disguise as Dragon Fang and revealing his true face, Beru couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This time the disguise is really convenient. After all, Ryuga's appearance is the dark Kamen Rider, and Beru doesn't even have to worry about being exposed due to the details of his movements.

It was so simple that it sparked a conflict, causing the two people who were already not harmonious to start fighting.

"What about Pretty Cure and Kamen Rider?"

Look at me, Lord Beru, I will catch you all in one fell swoop and solve all of you!

Ash got up early in the morning and rode Diego's swift motorcycle to the dock. When he looked up, he found Ai Aida not far away who was also looking for something.

The girls suddenly changed their ways and were willing to have fun with Ash, but was everything really as smooth as Beru said?

Ash was reserved.

"Are you alone?"

Looking at Ash, whose collar was rustling in the sea breeze, Ai stretched out her hand to him with a serious expression.
