"But you also saw Dark Precure's expression when she declared war. It was different from when she fought with us in the past. It was simply..."
It's just like the expression on the day when Gijera grew up, when we were fighting for something that we can never retreat from.
Lei fell silent and did not say this sentence.
"Now we just wait for Yuri to return... Anyway, we can't sleep anymore."
Just as everyone fell into a wordless silence, the glass window on the balcony behind them suddenly opened, and a few raindrops shot in from the window, falling on the faces of the girls, which made them excited.
"Wow--"
Immediately looking towards the window, they could see the indifferent Cure Moonlight squatting on their balcony window, with a black figure on his shoulders. After a closer look, they recognized the other person's body, which was none other than the enemy Dark Precure.
"Hundred--" Just as Lei was about to shout out, Erika and Itsuki jointly covered her mouth. They didn't want to wake Lei's parents up to witness this amazing scene.
"Hundred...Yuri-nee, did you win?"
"Ah." He put Dark Precure, who was still replying, on the ground in a rather gentle way, and released the transformation. Yuri took off his rain-stained glasses and wiped them with his shirt.
"I won."
In every sense.
"This, this?!" Erika glanced at Dark Precure on the ground, and then at Yuri who was gaining momentum for some reason in front of her, then turned her head to look back, and then back again, constantly changing her gaze, and finally, completely confused, she cast a blank look at Yuri.
"Is it... a trophy?"
"It's more than that."
Speaking of this, the corners of Yuri's mouth gradually curved, and a perfect smile appeared on her face. Itsuki, who was watching the whole process, could feel that the sadness that often troubled Yuri in the past disappeared from her side.
Now Tsukikage Yuri looks completely satisfied and happy. This should be the sense of liberation after finally breaking up with the old enemy... maybe?
"Yuri-nee, towel."
When she took the towel from Lei, she seemed to have just remembered the fact that it was still raining outside. She sat on a chair and wiped the rain off her head with a towel. She was ready to wait for other people to ask questions.
But after waiting for a while, no one asked him. When he looked up, he saw Lei in front of him looking at him with slightly longing eyes.
"Yuri-nee, is it really all... over?"
Tsukikage Yuri rubbed the towel gently and nodded slightly. "Well, Desert Apostles, Ash said except for the last Duen."
We can already handle the rest.
"Then, where is Ash?"
Yuri stopped moving her hands, and the drooping towel just blocked her sight. After a while, she started to ask Lei in a voice that was not apologetic for any reason.
"Lei, you confessed your love to Ash, but you just didn't get a reply, right?"
"Eh - you ask this suddenly?" Lei, who suddenly blushed, asked cautiously. "What, what's wrong? Are you talking about Ash him?"
The hand wearing the scarred ring unconsciously raised to the red thin lips, not directly touching it, but a few millimeters away, as if touching something that didn't exist.
The taste is as if the extremely bitter coffee can be brewed from a siphon cup that has been brewed countless times and the inner wall is covered with dark black bitter residue. However, it is obviously very bitter, but it is also very soft. It feels like eating jelly, well——
"Coffee jelly."
"Huh?"
"Sorry, Lei." Yuri met hers with his somewhat wandering eyes. "It was obviously you first."
"Eh?"
Yuri leaned his head over and put his lips to her ear.
As a result, Lei suffered from insomnia.
Chapter 194: Unknown things happening in unknown places
Today, Ash is wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker and vest. He seems to be in a good mood, and his energy and limelight are even better than before. The man just drove the motorcycle with an exaggerated flower decoration on the front, turned on the accelerator, and stopped in front of a mountain road with long stairs with a gorgeous brake flick, looking up at the looming dojo above his head.
"This is the dojo of Itsuki's family."
After Ash paused for a while under the strange eyes of the disciples in the dojo, he picked up the SLR camera with the "Special Ops Division" logo hanging around his neck. After pressing the camera shutter at the distant dojo, he turned around without hesitation and continued to activate the accelerator and leave the place.
"This is their school. It's not the first time I've been here." It's not the time for school yet. Ash, the only one standing at the school gate, looked at the sign "Private Meidoin Academy" above his head. Then he turned the lens to adjust the focus and took a picture of this place. "Although it was a spur-of-the-moment date, I was really happy that time."
For this reason, it is normal for me to look for some evidence that I have lived before, right?
Kick up the tripod, and today Ash walks completely alone, riding high.
"Elf Teardrop, Erika's fashion store, although it doesn't suit my taste, so I haven't been there a few times."
Ash pressed the shutter trigger.
"Hanasaki Flower Shop, although Lei often brings flowers to decorate the shop, I really have no interest in knowing anything about flowers."
Ash pressed the shutter trigger.
"The botanical garden? Although there are many kinds, I don't dare to go there now, otherwise I will be caught and beaten by the seniors."
Ash stood far away and pressed the shutter trigger.
"Desert Apostles's base... Well, I don't hate humane organizations."
"Timons, you finally showed up! Come on and explain why Shaback and Dark Precure are missing. Aren't you - wait! Hey!"
Ash pressed the shutter, and Spider Gagi behind him looked shocked. Before he could even raise his hand to say hello, he immediately turned around and started accelerating, running away without leaving any chance.
"This is an island for duels. Because of my existence, have duels become traditional?"
Ash Press the shutter.
"This is the central square of Hope City. It's really peaceful... Although it's a pity that I don't have the taste to appreciate my craftsmanship, I quite like this city where I can survive without having to think about anything."
Ash Press the shutter.
"This is, Nasta Café... There is nothing left."
Ash put down the camera and moved his hand away from the shutter.
"This is, Eddie."
Ash pressed the form conversion button on the side of the camera, then swung it forward with force, and the SLR in his hand flipped and transformed into an energy hand cannon in a burst of changes.
"I said..."
Eddie, who was inexplicably hit on the head by a hand cannon, certainly didn't have a good expression. This time, he was properly dressed and looked at Ash, with full resentment leaking out of his eyes.
"Aren't you very nice to those little girls? Why are you so mean to me!"
"Sorry~" Although it was a completely insincere apology, Ash still put away the camera cannon and threw it into the storage bag on the side of the motorcycle. "Because of your thing, time management... No, it's not SOUGO's thing, what--Space-Time Administration Bureau?"
"I seem to have had an unpleasant fight with your people before. It was not directed at you. I just hate all of you." Ash nodded, telling the truth.
"Honestly, although your performance was terrible at the beginning, your subsequent transformation was not bad. I am actually optimistic about you."
"Really?" Seeing the other party stepping forward and patting him on the shoulder as if nothing had happened, Eddie was completely too lazy to complain. "Then thank you very much!"
"I won't get any money if you thank me, so you don't have to thank me."
"Alas... What have I done to say goodbye to you..." Eddie, who really felt that Lei and the others were tired, felt like they were about to collapse. "Um, didn't I say that I came here to disturb you because of "Great Darkness" appearing in the world of the heat-resistant cure?"
"Because that target was taken away by your Kamen Rider friend, and my mission is over, I have to leave immediately. I feel that you will be very happy, so I came to tell you."
"Ah, I am indeed very happy. It would be great if you, the intrusive character like the God of Creation who suddenly inserted himself into the situation, can disappear~" He continued to deal with the other party in a stick-reading tone, but the incident in his words made Ash very concerned.
"That's too much! Fortunately, I considered you a friend before, but you ended up fooling me around. Now you are teasing me with such outrageous words!"
"You're welcome for the second time."
He stopped the car and chatted with Eddie. At the same time, Ash also started to think about the information he spat out.
There is no doubt that the "friends" he refers to are the "Dian Wang" Momotaros and his party who came here, but didn't they leave this world directly with Infinite Ticket after helping him? They took Great Darkness? What is that? I've never heard them say that?
If the so-called "Great Darkness" is Infinite Ticket... Although that ticket is indeed very useful in manipulating time, it is too high a level, right? Ash You can find something more powerful than this by looking through the inventory. Hesitation said that he himself is the "attractor" of Dark Echo.
Ash, who was thinking, suddenly felt a flash of inspiration, as if there was a sudden flash of lightning behind him.
"You mean, the target was taken away by Momotaros and the others?"
"Yeah, I don't know why I took the train and left. Although we have people in charge of communications there who are negotiating, there is no response."
If Momotaros wants to go back on Den-Liner, where will he return? Needless to say, of course it is the world of "Kamen Rider Den-O" in 2007! With the so-called "Great Darkness"?
It seems like something is going to happen in the world of Kamen Rider?
"Then, everyone thought that this was the end of the matter. I would also write a review and receive a series of punishments for my unauthorized actions." Ash was a little unhappy when his thoughts were interrupted by Eddie's sudden voice, but he suddenly became less unhappy after seeing Eddie's even more unhappy expression.
"But, contrary to what they think, I don't think this is the end of it."
"I think the real Great Darkness is right in front of me now."
Ash tilted the motorcycle he was sitting on to the ground. With one foot on the ground, he stared at Eddie with slightly narrowed eyes.
His right hand, like a western cowboy approaching his gun holster, slowly reached toward the storage bag beside the car.
Chapter 195 The man who collects darkness, Ash
In Ash's past journey, it was not that he had not noticed his behavior, so he focused on the huge Dark Echo, trying to hinder him or directly take possession of him. If I insist on giving a chestnut, it would be a certain dark giant, a certain dark giant, and a certain dark giant...
Faced with this situation, the word "sit back and wait for death" has never appeared in Ash's dictionary. Generally speaking, there are only two results. Either he dies and takes the opportunity to escape, or the enemy is killed and the matter ends.
Although the system did not mention it specifically, how could Ash let others take away the fruits of his hard work?
"Young man, you can eat as much as you like, but you can't say some things indiscriminately. If you say it, you will make others unhappy and get involved in the trouble of killing."
Ash's fingers were already clinging to the edge of the motorcycle storage bag, but he was not in a hurry to take it. A smirk hung on his face that made it difficult to distinguish his true thoughts. The man's fingers were like a pianist caressing the keys when performing on stage, and the creaking sound made by pressing the bag was even more oppressive.
"Although I have no enmity with you, if you want to come, I can't escape, right?"
"Gulu..."
Then, on the other side, the hair all over his body exploded, and Eddie arched his back like a vigilant cat. The sound of his swallowing was clearly audible at this moment.
So scary...
Eddie, who was being watched, felt like a goat being stared at by a lone wolf that was approaching from behind and preparing to hunt. His eyes were not threatening, but rather like those of a large predator that was ready to hunt.
Excessive tension will be directly reflected in the body's reaction. Eddie's forehead began to sweat continuously, and his two legs were almost ready to leave first.
I feel that I am right, this guy is a completely dangerous person!
However, he did not escape after all, because if he decided to be a hero, a hero would not escape in battle!
His left hand, like the other person's, began to touch for the small keychain-like accessory on his waist.
"——"
The two people with a motorcycle separated in the middle started a hand speed competition that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. On one side was the camera's monocular cannon pointed directly at the person's head, and on the other was Dragon Strike Sword who spread his sword and stabbed the other person's throat.
The overly fast movements made the sword (gun) duel Hana just before my eyes, and it had already reached the stage of confrontation, and some BGM engraved in the DNA sounded in my ears.
Sword versus gun, it seems like this is an evenly matched confrontation, but...
"You're slow."
Ash, who looked away from the sword pointed at him, put his right hand on the camera and began to rotate it slowly, raised his eyebrows, with a hint of comment in his tone. "There is no problem with the speed and the way you draw the sword. You have indeed talked about it, but your trembling and hesitation made you 0.01 seconds slower. It is not so much that you lost to me, but that you lost to your own fear."
As Ash's words fell, Eddie's expression of gritted teeth became ugly. As he said, the camera's monocular cannon was mounted on the top of his sword. This was obviously Ash's dominant position.
If he really planned to attack at the same time, Ash was confident that he would be able to blow his head off at the cost of losing an arm.
"Someone once said that a gun is stronger than a sword."
The camera made a crisp click sound, and the lens rotated to a certain position by Ash automatically unfolded. A series of energy data began to appear around the lens, and at the same time, there was a crisp sound prompt.
"[It's Time For Buster!]"
"However, no one will know the outcome until the trigger is actually pulled, right? How about it, a 1/2 chance is exciting, right? What do you want to do? If you don't want to choose, I can help you choose."
