"What happened..."
Although she wanted to learn the enemy's information from Yuri, who had suffered a heavy blow, she felt as if her soul had been lost due to what kind of blow she suffered. Tsukikage Yuri, who had always been strong, was now like a soulless doll, allowing others to manipulate her.
Pretty Cure's pure power restored Yuri's twisted arms to their original state, but it could not repair her broken heart.
"Hate it, it's raining too much today, what are you trying to wash away!?"
After complaining about the weather and bringing Yuri to the already messed up battlefield, the two of them found that their best friend was in a daze as the red Rider tipped his chin up as if "teasing".
"Is that Timons——and——Lei!"
Compared to the stunned Itsuki, the more stimulated Erika roared and kicked his legs towards Rider. After leisurely putting down his hand and pushing Lei aside, Ash made a perfect turn and raised his hand to prepare for the new enemy.
"I am the shadow spider that spins silk to spread its nest."
"If you also want to dance together on this Internet, you are really welcome here."
The second line in the antique game I played was really shameful to actually say.
Although it was said that he was preparing to deal with a new enemy, the reality was different. At this time, Ash had one hand behind his back and his feet were fixed in place. He only used his other hand to fidget left and right to deflect all the swift and powerful fists and kicks from Erika.
Although it seemed that Ash used its speed and strength to swat away the girl's fists and kicks, in fact, where the girl could not see it, the spider threads shot out from the tips of Ash's fingers stuck to the girl's wrists. Without her being aware of it, she freely manipulated Erika's hands to hit them in the air.
"The level of precise operation is unparalleled, the strength is also top-notch, and there is no problem with the spider's web."
Rather than dealing with the enemy, it is closer to playing as a guide.
"You bastard - Blossom already has someone she likes!" Erika, who was extremely angry and laughed back, instantly used the power of his feet, and his white stocking calves, which were soaked by the rain and were flesh-colored, made a half-circle in the air, and kicked Rider's temple with a terrifying sound of breaking through the air.
"Like it?" With his left hand, he slapped away Erika's high kick to the temple. The sound of the high-speed collision between the two was as loud as thunder and deafening. "I really don't know this, well, but it doesn't matter now."
"What...!" After listening to Ash's words, Erika's hand movements immediately stopped. "Why did your voice suddenly change to that of the store manager?! Are you using this to deal with Yuri and Lei? Are you trying to play some trick or something!"
The speed and strength of the second attack after the pause were much higher than the previous attack, and Erika was even more furious. "Did you, a bastard, do something to the store manager? Answer me!"
"Hey, is that what you think?" He pulled out his other hand from behind and faced Itsuki who put down Yuri and immediately rushed from the side to join the offensive, launching a joint attack with Erika. The afterimage of Ash moving both hands together with the fists and feet waving in front of him made a crisp sound.
According to Ash's careful observation, while their offensive is constantly increasing, their strength is also getting higher and higher with their increasingly high spirits.
Unknowingly, their strength has grown to a level that makes me sigh. If it were any other time, I would have laughed with satisfaction, but...
Now in reality, it's still far from enough!
The combined attack between the two girls was both unpleasant and powerful! But facing Rider who just waved his palms and used unimaginable skills to evade all attacks, rarely moving, cold sweat broke out from their foreheads.
This feeling was like using a toothpick to try to poke the extremely agile humanoid spider hidden in the shadows. Moreover, the extremely strange spider's eyes were still glowing with blue light, trying to prey on them at any time.
He simply raised his hand and wiped Erika's outstretched arm and stabbed it. In the girl's astonished eyes, it was like the arthropods swung by a spider to catch prey. He bypassed the girl's arm at an overly flexible angle and pulled her back to his chest.
"Let go of Erika!"
Itsuki used his family martial arts moves faster to open Ash, but his right hand was like a tarsal maggot attached to his wrist, breaking all the moves in an instant with shocking efficiency. Before the girl could react, she saw him raising his arm high, and the arm blade on his wrist reflected the bloodthirsty light under today's dark moon.
"——!"
It was slashed violently, and Itsuki, who had no time to defend himself, watched the sharp red light slash from his chest, but unexpectedly did not feel any pain.
But what made the girl's eyes widen was the short battle suit on her chest, which stuck close to her chest and exposed her navel. After a flash, a clean and neat crack appeared from the center. With a small "pop" sound, the battle suit helplessly dispersed to both sides, revealing the orange underwear underneath.
"Yeah!"
When Itsuki screamed in shame and covered his chest, Ash was a little intoxicated and focused his eyes completely on the scarlet arm blade of the raindrop mask reflected on his wrist.
"Even Pretty Cure's originally indestructible suit can be cut open, breaking the rules. This is really something that was completely impossible before."
Then, while Itsuki was too embarrassed to move, Ash pulled her neck cleanly, put his other hand around her, imprisoned her, and leaned in front of him.
"Let me go! You bastard perverted spider man!"
"Why, why does your voice sound so similar to the store manager's! Timons!"
Feeling a desperate struggle on both arms, and even Erika biting his wrist directly, Ash smiled. With a thought, the red helmet suddenly cracked along the gaps, separated and overlapped, and was collected near the neck.
"Isn't that natural?"
"——!"
Even with their backs against the man, they would never mistake him for that familiar aura and the cynical face with his hair soaked by the rain from the corner of his eye.
"Because I am your store manager, Ash."
"It's always been like this."
Chapter 150 Tell me nowl baby
"Cough cough--cough cough cough!"
As soon as Ash let go, Itsuki and Erika, who were kneeling on the ground together, covered their necks that were struggling to breathe and coughed violently.
The saliva on their chins was washed away by the rain. The girls opened their eyes and looked at the man whose face was only exposed in the rain. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
"The store manager is...Desert Apostles, Timons...?"
"Always."
The fingers covered in armor wiped away the rain on his face, and the man looked full of energy.
There may be people who, even if they are betrayed, can give up their extremely important past to fight against friends who have become enemies.
But this can never happen to Pretty Cure, who relies more on emotion to act. Rather, there are only a handful of people who can fight without hesitation.
"Erika!"
"Itsuki..."
Recovering slowly, Lei, who almost tripped over the bump at her feet, came to her side in a panic, and Yuri, who was covering her arms and walking slowly, also came over.
Here, heart catch Pretty Cure regrouped in an extremely embarrassed posture, and with the thunder falling in the sky, the light illuminated their current enemy Ash, which was [Scarlet Timons].
Ash, who was wearing the brand new Rider armor but only lowered his helmet so that the girls could see his face, looked at the sad, painful, confused, confused, and angry eyes of everyone, and his expression was calm.
"So, do you fully understand?"
"Why..."
"Oh, I heard the word "why" so much today that my ears are getting calluses~"
"Why!?" Erika, who was blushing, still yelled and asked. Rain was dripping on everyone's face, making it impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears on the face of the betrayed girl. "Ash-sensei shouldn't be our most reliable partner?!"
"Enemy? Friend? Now I prefer to call him..." Slowly raised his right hand, Ash slightly gestured a little distance between his twisted index finger and thumb. "My own choice."
"Including, all of this?" Itsuki, the only one whose tone could still remain calm, had trembling lips, but his eyes were getting colder.
"Of course! Well, actually I still like you very much and have full hopes for you." As if it was not an enemy in a confrontation, but a relaxed afternoon tea conversation, Ash scratched the back of his head thoughtfully.
"However, the truth is cruel. After all, love and romance may not necessarily save the world." With a troubled expression on his face, Ash shrugged. "If it was that simple, my world would be at peace long ago."
"If the fairy tale method doesn't work, we can only use more realistic methods."
"As an adult, I also have my own difficulties."
"Using adult reasons as an excuse, people like you don't deserve to be the norm for children!"
Shaking his head desperately, his beautiful long wave-colored hair was stained with muddy water. Erika rushed forward again, and the others gritted their teeth and followed closely.
Fight again!
The armor parts on the neck quickly refitted into the shape of a helmet, and the goggles slightly showed a breathtaking light.
If Timons just couldn't keep up with the version, he might not be able to win with just Lei and Erika, not to mention the stronger Itsuki and Yuri.
But now using the power of [Scarlet Timons], Ash is dexterously maneuvering one against four.
His left hand tightly grasped Lei's fist, and his right hand grasped the ankle that Erika kicked with a roundhouse. He looked at the chest with the empty door open. The power of the sun and moon bursting out in the rain vowed to knock Ash down!
However... could it be that simple?
"Go, FANG!"
Following the instructions of Ash, the two scarlet fangs placed on both sides of the waist on the thighs, which seemed to be decorations, suddenly stood up and were launched directly at the two attacking people!
"What?!"
There was no time to be surprised. The chests of Itsuki and Yuri were hit by sharp "fangs". The pressure that almost pierced their chests made them spit out the acid in their throats.
The fangs connected to the ropes made of tough spider silk on the back followed Ash's instructions and swung freely with great force, directly and mercilessly knocking the two of them into the wall and into the ground.
"Whoa whoa!"
Lei and Erika also had a hard time. The two pairs of appendicular limbs that were originally attached to the breastplate from behind suddenly extended. Even though Ash just grabbed their bodies and did nothing, the two of them screamed and were pierced by the automatically pierced limbs.
"It hurts... it hurts..."
The dazzling pink ponytail on the back was stained by mud and water. If it were not for the transformation state, the chest would have been pierced with heartbreaking pain. Lei lay curled up and trembling in the rain.
"Sun——Sunshine Flash! (Cure Sunshine Flash)" Itsuki, who was stuck in the wall, reluctantly raised his hand and drew a circle. Countless golden beams of light were released forward. Just when he was about to hit Ash, he saw him gently raising the shawl on his left hand side.
Then, in the dull eyes of the girls, the sunlight's attack turned into sand and fell to the ground the moment it touched the shawl.
"It's useless."
Facing Erika who gritted her teeth and punched again, Ash shook it, and then swept the shawl across her chest. In the girl's horrified eyes, her own fist actually passed through Ash's chest, but she saw that the body she was passing through at this moment was actually made entirely of sand.
"You see, I can do this kind of thing."
The girl desperately wanted to pull her fist out of her body. Ash saw the funny thing and swept her into a shape like a boiled shrimp, then threw her over and lay down with her companions.
The light representing the passing of power was slowly pushed down from the girls' bodies. The battle clothes on the girls who were lying on the ground gasping for breath turned into particles of four colors and dispersed. With only one piece of light underwear left, they wanted to say something, but they didn't even have the strength to get up.
"What's wrong? Is it no longer possible?"
Looking at the four people standing in front of him, Ash, whose body was completely covered in steam, walked towards them with steps that he didn't recognize.
"Didn't you say you already got the power-up items? Why don't you use them? Why don't you look more powerful?"
"At this level, how on earth are you going to defeat~Desert Apostles~?"
With careless steps, Ash's fingers gently traced the silent belt.
Ash is waiting for their answer.
Well, if the answer doesn't satisfy him.
He could only use his own method to complete the answer.
Chapter 151 Everyone has their own justice
"Is it over yet?"
Ash slowly squatted in front of Yuri, and the crisp sound of the arm blade slapping her right wrist made her tremble.
"I'm still hurting here, don't let me down."
The rain kept falling.
The cold rain slapped on the face, and the girl only had a layer of light bottom clothing covering her body. They looked at Rider who was walking forward with blurry eyes.
After becoming Pretty Cure and experiencing fierce battles, they have actually already had the corresponding awareness. Even if the enemy in the dark is invincible and hopeless, the hearts of the legendary warriors will make them stand up firmly again.
But now, "Kamen Rider", who is standing on their opposite side, has been standing on their side from the beginning, supporting them, encouraging them, and guiding them, an irreplaceable partner!
The answer was already clear during the fight. He was sincere and serious about coming to fight them.
You want girls to kill each other with their most important people...
"It can't be done..."
Yuri, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling. He picked up the mud under his hands with his weak palms. He didn't even have the strength and courage to raise his head to look at him. The liquid mixed with tears and cold rain dripped down his chin and fell into the small pool below to mix with the sewage.
"Because of you, I rose up from the shadow of almost losing everything. Because of you, I saw the sunshine that made Heart Flower bloom. Because of you, I was able to muster the courage to transform and fight again!"
Whether it was because of the coldness of his body or the coldness of his heart, Yuri, whose teeth were chattering, had nothing but vulnerability on his face.
"It was you who made me successful, so I believe in you! It was you who picked me up from this place, but now you want to push me back to the hell of the past..."
The powerlessness I feel at this moment is even better than when I lost to Dark Precure.
"Now you are talking about reasons that are inexplicable and completely incomprehensible, and you want us to fight with you and kill each other... How can you get me to do this..."
"I can't do it... I can't do it!"
