I have been influenced by you and have begun to believe in the possibilities of girls like you.
"Crisis, crisis, real crisis!"
Masuko Miyo, the host of the famous global TV program "Pretty Cure Weekly", is visibly panicking at this moment, trying to convey this fact to the audience.
"How could it be possible - how could it be possible! That Kamen Rider Decade actually did what he said and started to challenge Pretty Cure all over the world!"
Listening to the host's narration and the video of the tragic situation of the foreign Pretty Cures after the battle with Rider, standing in front of the TV at the door of "Omori Bento Shop", the purple Rousseau girl "Hikawa Iona" behind her clenched her trembling fists.
"No matter which country he goes to, no matter how the girls try to solve it through dialogue with him. This Rider has no intention of stopping, and will definitely turn into a posture of fighting Pretty Cures again in the end!"
As the situation became serious, even the host, who always had a funny and comic style, became serious.
"Whether it is Phantom Empire's Bad Beast or our Pretty Cure, anyone who appears in front of him will be knocked down without any reason! Is his relationship with us an enemy or a friend? Does he really want to destroy our world?"
"Ah, of course it will be destroyed." The boy on the side bit into the ice cream crust and made a "squeaking" sound. "Even if he only appears in this world, the original Mirai will be completely distorted, and the world will be destroyed by him as a matter of course~"
"However, you want to do something good but you can't change your bad habits? It's really embarrassing and not worthy of praise Ash~"
"Seiji?" Iona, who heard the voice of an acquaintance, quickly turned his head and looked around, only to find that the place where the sound came from was empty except for an ice cream stick that fell to the ground.
Is it an illusion? Shaking her head, the girl woke up from her worrying thoughts and became more worried about her stomach that kept growling.
Originally, I wanted to have dinner at my usual bento shop after school, but my attention was attracted by this news that I had to pay attention to... Really, I was really hungry now, but the meal should have been prepared and was about to be served.
"Yuko!"
"I'm sorry, classmate Iona." The pornographic girl "Omori Yuko" who quickly came to the store said apologetically to this regular customer who was also her schoolmate. "An incredible guest just came over. I didn't want this to happen but..."
"Iona Your lunch box was finally eaten by this guest."
"Huh?"
"I'll do it again soon!" Seeing the purple-haired girl's expression suddenly change from calm to "simplified", Yuko apologized shyly again and quickly ran to the kitchen, leaving Hikawa Iona in a daze.
Who clearly prepares a lunch box for me every time I come here—
"..." Seeing the man in a black suit whom I had seen on TV not long ago sitting in his usual seat, putting down his chopsticks with a look of enjoyment after finishing his meal, even Iona, who was used to calmly dealing with it, couldn't help but start twitching from the corner of his mouth at this moment.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
It can't be someone else, right?
"Ash." After taking out a girlish sunflower handkerchief and wiping his mouth, the man picked up the camera hanging around his neck, pointed it at the dazed look of the girl in front of him, and pressed the shutter.
"Also known as - passing Kamen Rider."
It's finally here, I've been waiting for so long~
Chapter 20 Hikawa Iona's doubts about Ash
If such an incident of "the starting identity being exposed by the TV station" happened in other worlds, it would inevitably lead to a lot of trouble and malicious prying eyes.
But it happened that this kind of thing happened in the world of Pretty Cure... Even if he didn't sit back and relax, at most, Ash would often bump into children asking for his autograph or clamoring to see his transformation.
It's such a bullshit thing like blaming a hero who won't fight back when your house was knocked down by a monster... Haha, how else can I say it's a gentle world?
"Thanks for the hospitality."
Putting down the plate amidst whispers of shock or surprise from the guests on the side, Ash was not too surprised by the similar looks, and even called out to the girl who hurried to the kitchen.
"Not bad, very delicious."
The girl who heard this was stunned for a moment, then formally bowed to the back of the man who had turned and left.
"Whatever suits your taste is fine. Please come back next time when you have time!"
Omori Yuko, who was originally a little worried about Ash taking away Iona's food, finally let go of the stone that had been hanging high in his heart.
"As expected, he is a very gentle person."
"Huh?" Hikawa Iona, who heard this next to him, made a voice that was even more uncalm than when he knew he had nothing to eat. "Yuko How did you come to this conclusion!"
Obviously this person is so unreasonable, yet he has defeated so many Pretty Cure as an enemy!
"Because." The slightly touched yellow-haired girl held her face in her hands and smiled. "He also looked very delicious when eating, and he thanked me politely. People who can eat healthily without leaving any leftovers are not bad people."
Although it is indeed very unreasonable, unlike Phantom Empire, he simply defeated everyone but did not do anything more outrageous. Isn't it strange?
It feels like there must be some reason, right? For example... he is actually a good person who wants to help us from somewhere else?
"How on earth did we come to such a conclusion..."
No matter what Yuko said, Iona still shook his head and hurriedly caught up with that person.
She had obviously seen it all, but if he was left alone without knowing what to do, she really couldn't let go!
Moreover, I still have some questions that I want to ask him...
"Here he comes."
For the purple-haired girl who was following from behind, Ash, who was not surprised, showed an expression of "Sure enough."
After all, the person I secretly observed from the side during my first battle when I first came to this world, I could feel the same aura even if I hadn't transformed.
"No way, Glacier!" The elf kept circling around the girl and even called out the girl's last name in a hurry as he continued to shout loudly. "You can't chase me like this! He's - he's the man who has knocked down so many Pretty Cures from other countries one after another!"
"No!" The elf, who was eager to be the savior, even blocked the girl directly with his tiny figure. "I won't allow you to go there when you're alone. It's too dangerous!"
"Sunglasses!"
Hikawa Iona's eyes are as cold as the name suggests, but compared to the seriousness he usually shows in front of outsiders, they are more anxious and therefore a bit colder.
"Following his footsteps, if I pretend to be an ostrich with my head buried in the sand and pretend I don't know anything, won't he come to trouble me?!"
"This..." Faced with such a serious argument, the elf who simply didn't want the girl to get hurt also felt hesitant.
"I know!" Thinking of the sadness she had witnessed, the girl clenched her fists solemnly and angrily. "Even if it can be delayed by just escaping, it will have no effect in terms of the result!"
"So, if he is going to come, let him come in an upright manner! No matter who challenges me, I, Hikawa Iona, will not be afraid!"
Moreover, I also have some questions... or answers that I want to find out from him!
"Well said, girl!"
Just when Iona was secretly making up his mind, he heard crisp applause coming from behind him, and it turned out to be that person who turned around.
Wait, am I not chasing you? Why did you suddenly appear behind me!
"It's such a good mood, this is the real Pretty Cure!"
"Decade!"
"Ash." Ash clicked his tongue and shook his finger at the wary girl in front of him. "Since I haven't transformed yet, I also have the name Ash."
Considering that we will probably continue to get along with each other in the future, I hope you can be like everyone else in the past and it would be better to call me by my name.
"Kamen Rider Emperor Qi..." Ignoring the other party's antics, he nervously held Light Transformation Mirror in his hand, and the tiger's mouth of his palm made a creaking sound due to excessive force. "How do you know me... No, why do you want to attack everyone at Pretty Cure! Are you our enemy too?!"
Except for not doing it in the final stage, what you did is exactly the same as that person who I absolutely cannot forgive! So I...
However, this person is fighting Phantom Empire at the same time, so maybe I can...
"It's really ungrateful." Looking at the girl in front of him who was obviously questioning him but instead asked him, Ash shook his head helplessly. "As for why you said..."
"Why... I'm also looking for a reason."
"..." Regarding Ash's perfunctory answer, which was too Riddler-like, Iona, who had never gotten along with such an obscure and frivolous person, was speechless for a while.
Sure enough, this person is not worthy of trust at all!
"Unlike Yuko, I won't be deceived by your appearance..." The girl asked Ash sharply again. "So, why are you back now Light Hill?!"
"Mainly because~" He pulled out Rider Card and Ash from the card box and shrugged helplessly, spreading his hands. "I'll be bored too."
Not only are the mass-produced Pretty Cures really uneven in strength, but the subsequent Phantom Empires rarely come out in front of me, as if there is some conspiracy lurking there, which makes me so bored besides collecting CGs.
So, in order to prevent me from being killed by boredom before being killed by the hero this time.
"So I'm back, what do you think? You don't seem to welcome me?"
Obviously the one I am most optimistic about is your Light Hill's Pretty Cure.
Chapter 21 You treat me to a meal, I treat you to a meal
"Yuyu!"
He hurriedly opened the store door and looked around. He didn't see the presence of the person he expected. Aino Megumi panted and asked his friend quickly. "Yuyu said you saw that person in your store. Where is that person now?"
"Ah, Hui, you're late." For this belated girl, Yuko couldn't help but feel curious about her relationship with the person in her mouth. "That person has already finished his meal and left."
Hui is looking for him, and classmate Iona is also looking for him. Ash-sensei is really popular with the girls I know Pretty Cure~
"Ah - me too!" Before she could finish speaking, the girl was suddenly pulled over by her friend with a smile and pressed on the stool. When she turned around, an extra pair of chopsticks had been stuffed into her hands.
"Yuko?"
I still have important things to do now! What are you going to do?
"Look at you sweating so much in such a hurry, you must be tired and hungry." Yuko, who was smiling, pushed Hui down again as he was about to stand up, and then handed over a box full of sumptuous lunches from the side. "These were originally prepared for classmate Iona in the next class, but she had something to do and left first, so I asked Hui to help eliminate them."
"It's Yuyu's bento." Hui, who was indeed a little hungry, was about to be rude, but quickly realized that she had other things to do. "But I-"
"Hui is a good boy. A good boy will definitely not waste food, right?"
"... I know." In front of Yuko's oppressive smile, the girl finally raised her chopsticks bravely. "This is to help others, I started it... ah, it's delicious!"
Oops, although I didn't see Ash-sensei this time, I'll definitely find it next time! Is it more important to fill your stomach first~
Seeing Hui eating happily, Yuko also showed a happy expression.
Iona That kid seems to have something to do with the gentleman named Ash. In this case, Kei's sudden passing may cause trouble because of your straightforward personality.
But I'm really curious. Why did classmate Iona go to find Ash-sensei?
"Precure kururin Mirror Change!"
After inserting Light Card into the transformer to achieve transformation, Pretty Cure, which merged into the light of the deep purple starry sky, loudly declared its existence to the pink Rider opposite.
"The star of hope shining in the night sky! Cure Fortune (Angel of Fate)!"
You guy, why did you come back here... because you were bored!?
"Yes, there is indeed an element of boredom in it." Rider clapped his hands and said casually after watching the girl's sassy transformation. "I didn't expect that there are so many Pretty Cures in this world. There are even Pretty Cures in Iceland and the North and South Poles."
Even with the help of Rider's high-speed transportation, I traveled between different countries for several days, but what can I say...
Although there are quite a lot of Precures in this world, and the flowers arranged by different people are not bad, but... how should I say it? Is it because of the mass production model?
"It feels like the quality... is not as good as Lovely Angel."
For the Pretty Cure I met before, who can maintain a distinct style no matter what kind of system they use, compared with the other Precures who really have no feel when fighting, and the "Lovely Angel" who can become more courageous with every setback, the difference between Jim and Gundam is simply the same!
Of course, no matter how powerful the existences were before, once the number increases, they will become mere soldiers. This is also the law of the multiverse, so this is the disadvantage of the mass-produced type.
"Although I can't say for sure, I have planted the seeds for them to catch up with stronger people." In the midst of casual words, Rider's figure suddenly disappeared in front of the girl! "But now I am looking for more interesting existences in this world and come to you!"
Where have you been? Where have you been?! The figure that suddenly disappeared from the original weird atmosphere made Iona couldn't help but panic. While she was looking around, she suddenly heard the faint sound of wind coming from above her head.
"Is it there?!"
Crossing her arms on the edge of her head, the girl who blocked the knife from a dangerous distance was already sweating.
It was obvious that he was talking nonsense, but there was nothing relaxed or weak about this tricky offensive.
Unlike his words, when it comes to fighting - it's no joke!
"I've asked about it, except for the pink and blue ones that often appear." In the embarrassed expression of the purple-haired girl, the striped mask came closer to the girl. "There are actually two more powerful Pretty Cures in Light Hill, and among them, the purple one who usually doesn't show off is the most powerful one."
With the attack on her head, the girl gritted her teeth and half-knelt down in front of Rider.
"Your power should be much more than this, right? No matter how much you show it, don't let me down."
