Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Besides, I was originally a knight of the Poker Kingdom. I just traveled through time like you, Makoto."

"......" Upon hearing this, Makoto put his hands under his chin, and after a moment of silence, he passed the pork chop rice to Joe again.

"Eat this bowl of pork chop rice and then confess your true crime."

"I already told you I'm not a criminal!"

"Eat pork chop rice!"

After all the nonsense, Joe finally told everyone the truth that he had been hiding until now. It turned out that he was indeed a knight of the Poker Kingdom. He saved his life because he was patrolling the border when the Selfish King invaded. He escaped to this world and found the girls with the legendary warrior title. He decided to guide them to become stronger and defeat the Selfish King. Unfortunately, this job was snatched away by Ash, making his position a bit redundant, and it has been like this until now.

Joe also claimed that he was the princess's lover, which really affected Makoto's popularity as the princess. She immediately retorted that she had never heard of this, but was silenced by his words that he had known the princess even earlier.

"Princess..." Makoto knelt on the ground, feeling extremely depressed, and wanted to cry but had no tears. "So I was the one who came last!"

"Is Miss Kenzaki okay? It smells so good!" Joe was scooping at the pork chop rice in his bowl, and he hadn't even swallowed the pork chop in his mouth when he spoke.

"It should be okay, but you should swallow the food in your mouth before you talk!"

"Big brother, why did you suddenly show up and find us this time?"

The topic finally came to the point. Qiao put down his dishes and tried his best to keep a serious expression even though there were rice grains on his mouth.

"The Royal Gem is a tool that can awaken miracles. It's essential for you Pretty Cure girls, so I'll take you to find the last Royal Gem!"

......

Taking off the ice pack from his head, Ash climbed out of bed with an expressionless face.

He doesn't have a fever, who gave him the ice?

Looking down again, he saw that his entire body was covered with bandages and plasters. Someone who didn't know him would probably think he was a first-degree disabled person evacuated from the Vietnam War.

I just remember that after I faked the fall, I just lay down to sleep to make it look more realistic. How come I woke up like this?!

Besides, for Ash, unless he had broken arms or legs, it wouldn't be considered an injury. It was common for him to get beaten in a fight.

Don’t special effects heroes often go to the battlefield with wounds all over their faces? They fight in the morning, then at noon, then in the afternoon, and then at night. As the saying goes, you won’t leave the front line unless you have minor injuries.

"Why should we..." Ira and Mamo, who were sent to take care of Ash, were standing outside the door and complaining angrily. They were almost hit in the face by the door panel that was pushed open. Just when they were about to curse, they were stared at by those eyes and could not move.

"what time is it?"

The feeling of the cold-blooded predator's eyes scanning their bodies made the two men almost stiff. Ash, who had just woken up and had a little low blood pressure, took a few more glances and saw what they were holding. He finally understood who had put the ice on his head and that performance art piece there.

"It's already 9 o'clock, time for breakfast."

Putting the ice pack in his hand on Ira's head, Ash passed by the two of them. Just when the blue-haired young cadre was about to explode, he was stunned by Ash's next sentence.

"Thanks."

The two people who were suddenly thanked were confused for a moment. When did this person become so polite?

"But your skills in taking care of people are terrible. Don't do it next time."

"You think we want to?"

The good impression that had just been established was quickly destroyed. If they could not beat him or match him in status, they would not have taken care of him, a human being.

"Really? Princess, your XP is so weird. What good is such an annoying guy?"

I can’t understand it, I really can’t understand it!

It didn't take long for Ash to find Regina. As she expected, the princess stared at the gem left and right, muttering "my baby" to herself.

"Princess, if you keep going like this, you'll end up a bulging-eyed, hunchbacked programmer."

"Ash?!"

Regina came back to her senses after hearing Ash's voice. Although she was still reluctant, she turned her attention to him.

Ash nodded, sensing a hint of concern. It seemed like it wasn't a problem like brainwashing or possession. As long as she wasn't completely possessed by a demon, it meant he still had a chance to turn Regina back to her original appearance.

However, this plan may require cooperation with the Pretty Cure girls.

"No choice, I'll just try my best this time... huh?"

Regina looked her up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Ash was intact.

"Are you ready yet? It seems those two guys are still somewhat useful."

"It's okay, I'm immortal."

Although it is said that immortality is achieved through continuous reincarnation and resurrection.

"But those Pretty Cures actually dared to hurt my people... They even got the last royal gem. I'm going to take all their gems!"

After hearing this, Ash immediately became excited, not because of the first sentence, but because of the second sentence.

He understood that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to free Regina from the influence of the gem in one fell swoop!

"Princess, please allow me to help you. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Although he doesn't have a loyal heart, he has the acting skills to pretend to be a loyal minister.

On the other hand, under Joe's guidance, the girls who defeated the new selfish monster and got the last royal gem were also feeling conflicted, because these gems must be gathered in five to activate their effects, otherwise there would be no real difference between getting one or four.

Regina probably no longer had the option of returning the gems to them. The girl thought about it and realized that there was no other way except to snatch them away.

But whether facing Ash or Regina, they didn't really want to fight.

"Is there no way to get the gem back without fighting?"

"there is."

Ash's voice from behind instantly perked up the girls. With his hands behind his back, Ash made way for Regina, who was standing behind him.

"Hey, Mana, let's play a game. We'll use both sides' gems as stakes. The winner will get all the royal gems. How about that?"

"No, this isn't fair!" Liuhua immediately pointed out the inconsistency. "We have four, and you only have one. The chips are not equal at all!"

"Well then." Ash slammed his Dragon Fang card box on the table. "How about adding this?"

The girls couldn't take their eyes off the transformation props lying naked on the table.

Chapter 61 The Competition Begins

"To have such great courage..."

Ryuga's transformation card box lay quietly on the table, its matte black surface concealing the dragon power hidden in the mirror. However, the Pretty Cure girls who knew its actual abilities were stunned by Ash's behavior.

From the beginning, they thought that the game Regina mentioned might be a trap, but they never expected that Ash would use his transformation props as a bet.

On the other hand, Ash didn't look distressed at all. A secret smile of confidence that showed he was sure of victory hung on his face, as if this was just an insignificant thing to him.

Pulling a few other people over, the girls held a small war meeting.

"This is really a trap!"

"Of course, it's suspicious no matter how you look at it, but—"

Even Rikka, who was always known for her calm thinking, couldn't help but look back at the card box that Ash had placed on the table.

"Mr. Ash is a man who keeps his promises."

Arisu's words drew everyone's attention to her. Seeing everyone waiting for an answer, the girl nodded slowly and firmly.

"This is what Mr. Ash told me himself."

I also confirmed it from my own actions.

"Then let us believe him!"

She believed this without hesitation. Love is not only trust in one's companions, she also wants to try to believe in Ash's character.

"Really? You're as straightforward as ever, but if this is true," even Rikka admitted she had her own fantasies about it. "If we get this, Mr. Ash won't do evil to us anymore."

There is no reason to stay in a selfish organization anymore!

After a quick discussion, the girls lined up and prepared to fight, reaching a unanimous decision.

"Okay, Regina then come on!"

"Hey, I've been waiting for you to say that!"

Regina snapped her fingers and summoned the selfish monster with a different space in its body to change the venue and bring everyone to a place more suitable for the competition.

As officers, Ira and Mamo took turns playing, and as expected, the Selfish Organization used underhanded tactics to win the first round. However, their blatant cheating quickly met its duel, and they, transformed into Pretty Cure, forcibly broke the cheating monopoly and successfully won the second round.

The game came to the third game of the best-of-three format, and Ash also walked onto the court at this time. Even though it was the third game that decided the match point, he remained calm.

"Ash, the competition will be decided by you. It all depends on you!"

Seeing Regina waving and cheering at him from the outside and the two people beside him who were not happy but were forced to cheer, Ash nodded slightly as a gesture.

Regina was naturally confident about the outcome of the game. Apart from anything else, from the venue to the personnel and referees, they were all my people. As long as we could avoid the situation in the previous round and cooperate well with Ash, we could get through it with our eyes closed.

However, Ash said that he was not used to any competitive sports. Compared to gentle competition, he still preferred direct and simple battles.

How about a lighter biting competition?

"What should we play for the third round?" Ash shuffled a stack of cards from his sleeve, bent his fingers slightly to pull the cards from his other hand into a line, and made a suggestion to the nervous girls.

"How about we play some grown-up games, like poker that suits you?"

"do not want!"

The girls all refused sternly. Firstly, they had no experience in this area, while Ash's technique was obviously that of a veteran.

The second reason is.

"We are still in junior high school, how can we gamble!?"

"Tsk, what a boring good student." Feeling bored, Ash put away the poker, then suddenly pulled out a huge fan-shaped plate from behind and put it on his wrist.

"If you can't handle gambling, how about this, DUEL!"

As soon as Ash said "duel", the blocks on both sides of his wrists expanded forward, merged and came together, finally forming an area on the side for placing cards.

This thing is the Duel Disk. It's not that Ash has ever been to the YGO world to play cards. He just mentioned this game to a certain Kami president, and he didn't expect that he actually made it. He also mentioned that a certain genius player M had a lot of fun playing it.

"Duel...does that mean Yu-Gi-Oh?"

"What else could it be, Mana, what deck are you using?"

After searching around for a while, Ai actually pulled out a stack of cards, and the junk Synchronician on the top of the cards was shining brightly.

"I made this deck by following the protagonist when I was watching anime on TV. I think it's called a junk deck. If Mr. Ash comes, can I use this?"

Looking down at his Prime Beast deck, Ash silently put the duel disk back.

"Forget it. If you want to duel, we can do it next time."

"Hey, why?"

"No reason."

I almost forgot the gap between the times. Am I telling you that I'm afraid I don't even know how to let go?

When he was thinking about what to compete next, Ai on the opposite side saw Ash's dilemma and made a suggestion.

"Mr. Ash, how about we have a cooking competition?"

"Cooking?"

"That's right, how about we make the same dish and let everyone rate it?"

As soon as the proposal of love was made, Regina couldn't wait to agree on Ash's behalf.

"Okay, Mana, since you actually proposed this plan, then let's do it!"

She didn't expect that Ai would suggest that everyone give scores together. In Regina's view, this was simply handing victory to them. No matter how Ash's cooking was, they only needed to give Ai's cooking the lowest score to ensure victory.

"Mana, I only like instant noodles at home because I'm too lazy to cook." Ash lifted his hand from his forehead, revealing the man's dark eyes staring at the girl. "But if you think I can't cook, you're totally wrong."

I learned my cooking skills from the master Tendo Souji and Spada, who claims to be the best chef in the universe.

"I didn't think so." Rikka, the only one who knew about this, did not publicize it to her friends, so Ai really didn't know about it at first.

"I just want to have a real cooking competition with Mr. Ash. After all, I'm Ai Aida, the daughter of the owner of Pigtail-tei, the best Western restaurant in Dabai City!"

Ash couldn't help but smile when he saw the confident and honest light in the girl's eyes.

"Okay, then the game."
