Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Didn't I tell you from the beginning? I don't understand gradual progress. I'll stimulate your growth by letting you experience real horror firsthand."

"You ask me why I don't stop. What do you think a real fight is? As long as one side remains in their transformed state, or even as long as they still have the will to punch the enemy, the battle will not end!"

"Ahem, Mr. Ash——"

Ash's actions were very rough, and he was simply aiming to kill Arisu, but this seemed different to the girl herself. She seemed to be able to vaguely see the expectation and desire flashing in the man's eyes through the mask.

Arisu tugged at the man's hand and struggled to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth.

"Why...why do you have to force yourself..."

Push yourself....

What do you mean, are you feeling sorry for me?

"Don't be so self-righteous!"

But you, woman...are you not going to give up yet? Tsk, Pretty Cure and all that, are all heroes this persistent?

Never mind, they are just little girls after all.

Maybe I shouldn't hold them to the same standards as those heroes, so let's leave it at that.

After shaking his head, Ash slowly increased the strength of his hands, ready to strangle her unconscious. As the pressure on her throat intensified, Arisu's perspective stepped into darkness and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

Is it... no more...?

Yotsuba Arisu felt like she was trapped in the waves. No matter how she called out, she would only be swallowed up by the turbulent waves. Until she felt that everything around her was meaningless, and she sank into the bottomless dark sea.

The sea water instantly filled her nose and mouth, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation came over her, permeating Arisu's thoughts.

I'm so tired and sleepy. I can't rest during the duel with Mr. Ash, but I really want to fall asleep like this.

"You can't protect anything with just your mind..."

While she was in a trance, she heard Ash's voice.

wrong...

I proposed to bribe Mr. Ash and wanted to conduct special training to gain the strength to defeat Longya, just to make Mr. Ash stop, in order to protect everyone's hearts.

Mr. Ash, haven't you noticed that Mana and the others are gradually no longer able to regard you as a real enemy?

If you continue to attack everyone just for your own happiness, everyone will definitely be even sadder than before, and the same goes for me.

Moreover, Mr. Ash is obviously very happy when he is with us. In this case, we cannot let Mr. Ash, a human being, fall safely to the dark side.

I can't let you hurt everyone's feelings!

We won't let you become our enemy!

Chapter 47: Yotsuba Arisu's Counterattack

"What are you trying to do? Stop it, Lance!"

Lance, the elf that jumped out of Arisu's pocket, hugged Ryuga's arm, as if that would make Ash stop. However, let alone stopping Ryuga's strength, it was only the size of a plush toy and couldn't even match the arm strength of a child.

With a casual flick of his hand, he threw Lance down. Ash simply placed his foot on it without exerting any force, and the Pokémon struggled but couldn't escape.

"She's the Pretty Cure's partner, but she's so useless."

Hey, Mr. Belt summons a car to help his fellow police officers, can't you elves provide a little help besides transforming? You're really useless, or is it because Dai Ge doesn't plan to sell your toys? That would be too tragic.

"Stop it!"

Arisu, who had been almost silent, suddenly burst out with great strength, pushing Ash and the Beast King Ape who had not taken any action to the side to retreat continuously. His calf, which was full of strength again, kicked Ash in the chest and knocked him back.

"Arisu!"

"It's okay, Lance-chan."

Putting her partner's elf back into the bag, the awakening consciousness in the girl began to respond to her body. A visible golden aura began to overflow from her body, strength began to fill her body, and vitality was re-injected into her spirit.

"Mr. Ash, I never thought there was anything wrong with me getting the power of defense. Rather, I'm very grateful for this power, which allows me to better protect everyone!"

"Then why don't you try to defeat me with your so-called protection?"

Facing the arrogant Ash, Arisu once again summoned the rose barrier, grabbed both sides of the barrier with both hands, and with a click, broke Clover's round shield into two fans of light.

"Then I will do as you wish!"

With a solemn expression, Cure Rosetta held half of the shield in each hand, just like a dancer waving a fan to the music. She gathered all her strength and slashed down from an oblique angle, sending out fierce sparks on Longya's breastplate!

This was the first time in this battle that Yotsuba Arisu had inflicted an effective blow on Ash.

"Good fight."

Covering the breastplate that was emitting thick white smoke, he stepped back and looked at the girl who stood up again. A healthy smile unconsciously appeared under Ash's mask.

It seems that I underestimated her. Living up to the title of legendary warrior, Pretty Cure is also a great warrior and a great hero!

This is what a true hero should be like. No matter how desperate the situation is, he can find hope through the faith in his heart and turn defeat into victory!

“It’s boiling!”

"Yamato, stay out of this, she's mine now!"

Ash rolled over and picked up the Eagle Beast Sword that had been thrown on the ground. In a cheerful mood, he fought with Arisu, who had awakened the power of love in his heart.

The eagle sword with a saw-like blade kept cutting the light fan in Arisu's hand, but the Arisu now was almost two different people from before. As if to confirm what Ash said in the previous chapter, Arisu danced with the light fan in his hand.

The battlefield turned into a dance floor. Yotsuba Arisu danced calmly to the inaudible drum beats and rhythm, gently tiptoeing and turning around. Her graceful dance moves were like a swallow nesting in its nest, and her hands lightly waved the fan like a giant butterfly spreading its wings, constantly scattering bits of spiritual light.

The dancing fan flew up and down, and the graceful movements protected her whole body perfectly. Even if Ash used the Eagle Beast Sword to knock on the outside, the clanging sound was all bounced away. Ash experienced the feeling of gnawing on a turtle shell.

The flower-like girl continued her exquisite dance. She raised her hand and used one side of the fan to slap Ash's wrist, while the other fan kept cutting Longya's body in her own rhythm. The consumption of the protective layer of Longya's armor shot out sparks one after another.

"Isn't this great?! It makes my heart beat even faster!"

Now, the girl dancing in battle became incredibly beautiful in Ash's eyes.

Instead of feeling distressed after being attacked, Ash became even more excited. He pressed the Animal Team icon on the guard of the Eagle Beast Sword in his hand, and the sword quickly broke into sections, which were then connected to each other by a thin line in the center. The Eagle Beast Sword changed into chain sword mode, and its attack range expanded in an instant. He raised the sword above his head and swung it a few times like a whip, and then the chain sword attacked Arisu from the side!

Arisu remained calm and composed, and her unintentional movements were well-regulated. Her cuffs, like flower buds, fluttered in the wind, and the girl's slender arms crossed left and right. She actively faced the extended chain sword, and after several turns, part of the chain sword was entangled with the fan in Arisu's hand.

Next it was time to test strength. Preparing to exert force, Ash placed his feet forward, and the muscles in his arms under the armor were tightened like hemp ropes, and he began to exert force.

"Chesto!"

Accompanied by the girl's powerful shout, the dragon tooth was pulled directly towards the girl.

Ash, in mid-air, stared at the unmoved Beast King Ape on the ground. The crimson eyes beneath the Grid Mask seemed to be questioning him, "Why are you just watching?"

Oh, I told you to watch and not do anything, so it's okay.

Just like the action of reeling in a fishing line after catching a big fish, Arisu flipped the light fan in his hand and shook it with all his strength. The separated chain swords immediately broke and the blades flew apart.

The girl on the ground looked at the man flying upside down in the air. They both shouted angrily, and Ash used a downward-jumping hook kick to hit Arisu's forehead.

Following Arisu's angry roar, the golden aura all over his body turned into an explosive flame and exploded. The twin ponytails behind him fluttered automatically without wind, and crackling golden electric light flashed on the fists at his waist that were ready to strike.

The flying kick and the swung fist collided, and the action was frozen at that moment!

The action lasted for an unknown amount of time before finally releasing Wei Chi's button. Arisu squatted down first, covering his trembling arms, but Ash was not in a better situation either. Like a kite with a broken string, he flipped several times in the air before crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. His right leg was bent in an unnatural direction, and he leaned against the cold ground, gasping for breath.

"Well done, Pretty Cure."

Even after sustaining injuries strong enough to incapacitate a person, he showed no reaction. He even had enough energy to sit up and rest his hand on his other good leg to talk to Arisu, acting like he was just relaxing on the beach, sunbathing.

You are truly a legendary warrior. You can unleash such power simply by believing in yourself. I can't do that.

"Mr. Ash, are you happy with this kind of battle?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm happy about this kind of collision, aren't you...eh?"

During the previous fight, the emotions revealed by the opponent gradually emerged, and Ash unexpectedly discovered that, contrary to what he had imagined, Arisu did not actually feel too much disgust.

"If Mr. Ash is only good at communicating through violence, then this is the only way I can respond."

Also sitting up from the ground, Arisu looked at Ash with a smile that was still as bright and sunny as ever.

Ash suddenly felt defeated.

The gentleness of you Pretty Cure girls is so comfortable that it's unbearable.

I really can't get used to this kind of thing. What expression should I make now?

"Cure Rosetta, I'm starting to get a little obsessed with you."

Hearing Ash's words, Arisu shuddered and the smile on his face froze. After a while, his cheeks began to heat up.

"Wait, wait, Mr. Ash, this is not right!" Holding her cheeks that were flushed by Ash's sudden words, Arisu quickly shook her head, and the twin ponytails behind her also swung up smartly.

Um, is Mr. Ash confessing his feelings to me?!

Although there were confessions from his peers at school, Arisu treated them as the typical youthful pranks of his peers and rejected them all with proper manners. But when Ash said this frivolously, it felt completely different.

Moreover, in this plot, after the handsome enemy guy is defeated by the heroine, he confesses his love to her wholeheartedly. Isn’t this a plot from the comic "First Love Hero" by Onitsuka Sensei?

If you think about it carefully, Mr. Ash is indeed a handsome guy. Although he doesn't have the maturity that an adult should have, he also has the charm of a playboy - no, no, what am I thinking!

In the face of harsh words, Arisu could ignore them calmly or respond politely, but at this moment, faced with Ash's voice that didn't sound fake, the eldest daughter of the Yotsuba family was momentarily flustered. She unconsciously held her cheeks with her hands, and the color of her face turned red like a cute little apple.

"I, I'm still a student, and Mr. Ash is a member of society, right? This is too big a difference. No! Mr. Ash, you're committing a crime!"

Ash narrowed his eyes under the mask, ignoring Yuki's increasingly confused speech due to shyness, and continued to speak to himself.

"So, in response to your feeling of mystery to me."

"I can only respond by using all my strength to knock you down!"

He climbed up his twisted knee with his right hand and twisted it in the opposite direction as if it was not his own body. A teeth-grinding sound of bones colliding was heard, and Ash shook his legs as if nothing had happened and stood up.

Chapter 48 Pretty Cure, You Make Me Crazy

I don't know why, but after Ash said that, Arisu had an inexplicable feeling that "as expected, this is Mr. Ash."

Sure enough, it’s because Mr. Ash himself is weird, right?

"Sometimes I really don't know if Mr. Ash is the adult or if we are the adults."

Demanding that others must follow your own ideas and throwing tantrums at will are immature behaviors that only children would exhibit, right?

"I won't refute you if you say so."

Ash didn't get annoyed by what he said. He lightly brushed his fingers over the torn part of his chest armor, picked up some armor fragments and casually rubbed them away. Ash, who was in a fighting stance again, waved to Arisu.

"You won't attack? Then I'll start!"

Ash likes fighting with heroes, not to mention that now that the opponent has obviously awakened new powers, it is even more rare!

As for the fact that the opponent is now in an idealistic state that is obviously impossible to defeat? Ha, who cares about such things? The actual outcome of the battle can only be determined after the battle!

Lowering his body, Ash was like a beast on the hunt. He began to exert force with his whole body. His tensed muscles burst out with more power to drive the armor on his body. His legs continued to accelerate as he rushed towards Arisu. He picked up the dragon saber and dragon shield that had been dropped on the ground earlier. Ash launched a new attack with sword and shield in one hand.

"Mr. Ash, do you want to fight again?"

But Ash still wanted to fight, but Yotsuba Arisu didn't want to continue.

As a special training, this is enough now, right?

Of course, even Arisu himself didn't believe he could convince Ash with this reason.

Arisu skillfully used the light fan to deflect Ash's attack, and looked at the Kamen Rider who was enjoying launching attacks, and couldn't help but frown.

When the previous blow broke Ash's leg, Arisu thought the battle was over. After all, he looked like he couldn't even stand up, let alone continue fighting. After Arisu was ready, he immediately called the Yotsuba family medical team to rush Ash to the operating room.

Unexpectedly, this man used a brutal method, as if it was not his own body, to forcibly reconnect the dislocated bones without even a groan.

Arisu's own body had been repaired by the newly activated power of Pretty Cure, but even so, there was still no part of her body that didn't hurt, and the energy she had consumed was so much that she almost wanted to fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Even she is like this, let alone Ash who has been fighting until now?

Don't you feel tired?

Why don’t you take better care of your body?

"Even if you enjoy fighting, please hold back!"
