Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Insert this lock into the card slot above the heart-shaped bow and arrow, which was originally used to hold love ornaments. With a [Lock On] sound effect, the heart-shaped rings on both sides will automatically unfold and become bow arms.

"It actually works!" Xia Lulu's eyes almost popped out when she saw this scene. After all, she couldn't figure out how this thing could be used to break through the restrictions.

"I'll give it back to you." Ash casually threw it back to Ai who hurriedly caught it, and then instructed her to inject the targeted power of the Pretty Cure into it, using the purifying ability of these villain special attacks to give Beru a fatal blow.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ash, it's a little bit..."

Ai just forced a smile, her hand holding the bow still trembling slightly, because of the previous injury and the fact that she barely shot an arrow, she really couldn't lift her hand now.

"I understand. Come on." Knowing that he was being a bit unreasonable, Ash walked over, leaned behind Ai nonchalantly, and grabbed her wrists with both hands and held them on the bow.

"Wait, wait, Mr. Ash!?" Because everything happened so suddenly, Ai was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Her pretty face quickly turned red as she yelled incoherently, "Why did you have to hug me so suddenly!"

"Stop whining and look ahead! I'm not your teacher, don't keep asking me to remind you!"

But Ash seemed to be oblivious to her reaction, just like a student who was called by the teacher in class, Ai subconsciously answered yes. At the same time, she quickly got into the state and discarded her messy thoughts. She slowly calmed down, aimed at Beru and pulled the bow in her hand.

[Pretty Cure Lemon Energy]

As the sound effect sounded, several energy phantoms of fresh and juicy lemon slices were projected in front of the bow and arrow. When Ai pulled the bow and arrow to the limit, the energy flow on these lemon slices became more and more obvious.

"put!"

A huge pink heart-shaped beam of light shot out from the heart arrow, piercing through all the lemon slices, and then, wrapped in pink and blue light, pierced through Beru's heart.

Chapter 20 What should we believe in?

"Ha... Uh--hmm?" The truck driver who was leaning on the steering wheel woke up with a strange sound coming from his mouth.

He had just woken up and looked confused, wondering where he was. It was not until he found the mobile phone in his hand and found himself sitting in the driver's seat with his seat belt fastened that he realized what was going on.

I remember I was looking at my phone while driving... Could it be that I was distracted and crashed into something?

The driver, frightened and breaking out in a cold sweat, quickly got out of the car to check. Only when he saw that his car was parked at the dock did he feel relieved.

"It's too dangerous... Never use your phone while driving again!"

As Beru was defeated by Pretty Cure and Kamen Rider, the purified spirit heart returned to its owner, and incidentally, he also realized the true meaning of concentration when driving, which is really cause for celebration.

"To think two people could wield such power... Damn it! I'll teach you a lesson next time!"

Belu, in a state of disarray, struggled to get up from the ground, thinking that he would teleport back to the base the next time he fought.

But would Ash let him get away? He wanted to run away after he'd offended him?!

"No need for next time, just this time, he's yours."

The pitch-black dragon that had been waiting for a long time jumped out of the water and bit him again with its big steel teeth. It still remembered the humiliation of being hit by a move before, and now it couldn't wait to get revenge.

"You again—"

Before he could finish his words, Belu, who had no chance of escaping this time, was slammed into the rippling mirror, leaving only a puddle of water on the ground.

"So, so scary, Xia Lu..." Even though they were enemies, seeing Beru being taken away, Xia Lulu was still scared and continued to shrink into the pocket of love.

For the elves, who are synonymous with kindness and purity, Kamen Rider has become a terrifying existence after Ash's previous "endorsement". When the elves talk about him in private, they tremble with fear.

"Um, was Beru arrested?"

Finally, Ai mustered up the courage to ask Ash this question.

"How would I know that?"

Ash said that you shouldn't ask me about this, you should go ask the Dark Warrior Dragon and see what it says.

"Qbi~" It was not until Ai-chan flapped the little wings behind her and flew into her arms that Ai, who had untransformed, realized that she no longer needed her fighting power.

The joy of successfully rescuing Ai-chan and defeating the enemy filled Ai Kai's face. She hugged Ai-chan, who was also happy, and rubbed her soft face. After all, she was the hero of this battle as she summoned the bow and arrow of love.

"Mr. Ash, we did it! It turns out that as long as we work together, we can accomplish anything!"

"You can tell this to your fellow Pretty Cure girls." Without responding to her, Ash summoned Diego's Swift Bike and prepared to leave.

It would be better to leave the cooperation to the decent people like them.

Someone like him who was entrusted with a system mission was destined to be alone, without any companions who could work together with him.

"How can you say that? Mana obviously saved your Xia Lu today!"

"You have no reason to save your enemy. Unnecessary actions are nothing but foolishness. And ultimately, there's no need to defend against that move. If you can't hit, it's meaningless. You deserve a beating for standing there like that."

Hearing Ash's words, Ai felt a little downcast. "I didn't know Mr. Ash had found out. I'm sorry for doing anything unnecessary..."

In fact, she didn't think too much about it at the time. She just subconsciously wanted to protect Ash in front of her. As a result, she was scolded and felt a little wronged.

"You don't need to apologize."

Normally, I would be happy to see the good guys or the bad guys get humiliated, but now I just can't feel happy at all.

After thinking about it, Ash felt that he still couldn't accept the fact that he was objectively helped and the other party was injured because of him.

Being the result of a fight he had done was one thing, but getting hurt for him was another.

Ash hates owing favors to others.

But soon Mana had no time to feel aggrieved. She suddenly remembered that she had promised the softball club yesterday to be their external aid, but today she had to skip the trip in order to rescue Ai-chan who was held hostage.

Ai begged Ash to give her a ride so he could take her to school quickly, but Ash refused without a second thought.

"No, besides, it's better to just skip this kind of thing. You're not their mother, why do you care so much about whether they give you any benefits?"

"Even so, I was worried, so I had to go see them! So, Mr. Ash took me with him~"

At this point, Ai fully utilized her advantage as a cute little girl, blinking her big watery eyes and acting coquettishly, but seeing Ash's indifferent expression, it could only be said that the effect was not good.

"What are you talking about? We are enemies."

"Hey, aren't we friends already?"

The other party's answer was obviously beyond his expectations. An unspeakable silence spread between the two of them. Silence, silence was Cambridge tonight.

"..."

"..."

A helmet was thrown to Ai, and she recognized it at a glance as the same helmet she had worn last time!

"Get in the car."

After being stunned for two seconds, Ai happily agreed, but she regretted it within a few seconds after getting in the car.

This Ash actually pushed this already incredibly powerful motorcycle to full speed while carrying people. The flowing lights formed an illusion of a line along the continuous curves, and he didn't even slow down when overtaking several cars.

The sword blade at the front of the chariot was even burning with flames. If a Megiddo appeared in front of it at this time, it would be killed by the ramming horns.

As a knight, he had long been accustomed to such speeds. Even driving with one hand and fighting with Gurongi with the other hand was child's play.

But unlike the skilled and courageous Ash, for the model student Ai, this level of racing is more than just exciting.

"Stop! Stop, Mr. Ash, slow down, slow down, ahhhh——"

"Qbi——!" Ai-chan, who was being held in his arms and had no idea what was happening, just felt the stimulation of the wind blowing towards her face and laughed happily.

As for the elf Xia Lulu, she vomited while Ash was racing, and kept vomiting all the way.

He looked back at Ai, who was holding his clothes tightly and not daring to let go, and was screaming in panic because a large truck passed by them. A vicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

Hey, guess what? Seeing her like this, he became happy again!

So he continued to turn the throttle, increasing the speed to the limit amid the roar of the literal power of Diego's swift motorcycle.

Ai, who was unable to even make a sound, had to wrap her arms tightly around the man in front of her waist in fear, leaning on his back and trembling, not daring to move.

——(Dangerous behavior, readers please do not imitate, especially when bringing others along)——

"That's how I return the favor."

It took him barely half a minute to put Ai back into her school. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Ai's question again.

"Mr. Ash, can't we really be considered friends?"

"I told you before, just talk in your dreams. It's better for you to treat me as your enemy."

As the holder of the system, he is the one with the mission of collecting "Dark Echoes".

In fact, no matter whether they are good or bad, he will fight with them for the sake of collecting, which means that both sides are actually his enemies.

Not only because of this, in fact, when he was browsing the system, he suddenly found that his past self had left the following message for his future self in the system's notepad: [Ash doesn't need companions, it will only hurt you]

It is better to trust yourself than anyone else. Although his memory of the past is vague, he still believes this advice as an important suggestion.

But sometimes he would wonder, why?

Who will hurt me?

And I'm already immortal to some extent, so why should I specifically mention the damage?

"Mr. Ash——"

Ai's loud call from behind made Ash stop in his tracks.

“As expected, I——!”

Ash didn't hear the rest of the words clearly.

He just flicked his finger over there without looking back.

"Goodbye."

The plan to become friends with Ash failed, and the joy of gaining new power could not dilute the girl's melancholy mood at the moment.

After saying goodbye to him, Ai quickly found her companions and the members of the softball club who were fighting hard. To her surprise, even without her help, the softball club members defeated their opponents with their own strength.

Having accomplished something she had thought she could not do, the excited softball club members also excitedly told her that they had learned that "you can't rely on others for everything."

Originally, the story should have ended here, but as luck would have it, a student who was watching the game happened to see Ai riding Ash's motorcycle.

As the news spread like wildfire, the whole school was quickly blown up by the new topic. Young students always have an extraordinary enthusiasm for such youth-stimulating things.

"I saw it with my own eyes. When the president got off that guy's motorcycle, he was still hugging him tightly. Could it be that he was—his boyfriend!?"

The students immediately surrounded their school's star president in three layers.

"The president actually has a boyfriend outside. This is such a shock!" A group of female students looked heartbroken for some reason.

"No wonder the always punctual president didn't come today. It turns out it's because of her boyfriend. Now I understand!"

"Is that person a high school student—or a college student? Is he really not just playing around with the president?"

"President, do you think I still have a chance with this look?"

Just when chaos was about to break out, Ai Ji stopped the crowd with a loud "Stop!", and now everyone's attention was focused on her.

Finally, everyone asked the question in unison.

"So that's really the president's boyfriend?!"

Ai Aida, who was at the center of the topic, remained calm and explained to everyone calmly.

"Of course not. How could I have a boyfriend? I just got a ride from someone else because I was in a hurry."

She's the student council president and should be a role model for everyone. How could she possibly take the lead in dating?

"Whose car did Mana take to get here?"

With a dangerous look in her eyes, Rikka came closer without her knowing when.

"I asked Mr. Ash to give me a ride."

"Eh?!"

"But I didn't expect Rikka to have that kind of thing with Mr. Ash. She's really Rikka!"

"Eh!?"

Chapter 21 The Princess is Here

After personally killing a cadre of the Selfish Organization, Ash sneaked back into the Selfish Organization's base in the bowling alley as if nothing had happened.

"Hey!" As soon as he entered the door, he ran into the young cadre Ira, who looked in a very embarrassed state.

"Have you seen this guy Beru? No matter how I contact him, he doesn't respond. What's going on with him?"
