"Huh——"
Turning from defense to offense, Ash stood up from the ground and nodded slightly when he looked at the sparks that had been flown out of his body in the previous battle and were flying all over the ground along his trajectory.
"Although it's not enough..."
When you move your right hand toward your waist, Tatsumaki Device, which is gradually starting to rotate and heat up, and even the blades are starting to get hot, is like the twin typhoons in Kamen Rider V3's body, and the strong suction centered on it begins to rotate! "But it's enough to deal with you."
"I will let you see the true power of Yanqi now——"
"Pretty Cure Lovely Force Arrow (Pretty Cure Lovely Force Arrow)!"
Ash, who was fighting fists with his hands in front of his chest, was about to explode at the moment when his momentum reached its peak. As the four charms lit up together, the arrows of light that merged with each other passed by Rider, and penetrated the core of Jikochu who was still in chaos!
"..."
Look at the Jikochus ascending to heaven and returning with their faces full of happiness. Ash, who was still posing, was stunned on the spot. This is the first time that someone has ruined him like this just when he was about to show off his talents. I'm obviously just about to have the last handsome counter-attack...
"Alas."
Ash, who had no choice but to put down his hands, turned around and complained as the steam of hesitation overload surged all over his body.
"I'm very grateful to you for taking action in time, but at this time, you can obviously go earlier or later - eh?"
The dumbfounded expression still hung on the face of Ash under the helmet.
There is no other reason. I saw the Pretty Cures who used their special moves to kill Jikochu, but they still didn't put down the Heart Arrow in their hands.
Pulling open the tight string of light, the mouth of the light arrow condensed from it was aimed at Ash not far away.

Chapter 198 Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure are——enemies!
"..."
While Jikochu focused most of their attention on Ash, Pretty Cure used their combined special attack to penetrate their cores with purifying power, completely knocking them down!
However, it's not over yet. It was clear that the enemies had fallen, but the tension and seriousness on their faces had not disappeared from the girls' faces. They continued to hold their bows and shoot at the big eagle, but this time the person they were aiming at became Kamen Rider, which is also Ash.
When Ash saw this scene, his brain was disconnected for a moment. It was not because he was facing someone with a sword as soon as he turned his head. In his past love record of fighting, you backstab me and I backstab you can only be regarded as routine operations. It is better to say that he who has shown such an obvious fighting will may be happy with such a challenge and ignite his fighting spirit.
What really makes Ash incomprehensible is that they, Pretty Cure, who are least likely to go back on their word, turned out on the spot. If you think about it carefully, what are the differences between when I made it for the first time... No, in fact it's obviously completely different! So why are their favorability levels filled with hostility reversed to full at this moment?
"Hey, hey~ ladies from Pretty Cure~"
Ash, who pretended to be relaxed, spread his hands in front of the eyes and arrows that were still staring at him, indicating that he meant no threat.
"If there is something wrong with what I did and it annoys you, I would like you to point it out for me. As for me, Ash, I just think that I know my mistakes now and can correct them... It's no use."
Rather, he became more vigilant after hearing what he said to ease the atmosphere, especially Rikka, whose raised elbows even started to tremble visibly.
So is this the strength of Rider Studio's traditional performing arts? Kamen Rider In appearance, in every sense, is it no different from a weirdo in the eyes of ordinary people? That... isn't right either! This Kamen Rider Enki is a protective suit worn from the flames burning outside the body. It is a technological transformation system! It's not as hard-core as the direct physical transformation like the biochemical transformation next door!
It's like ordinary citizens will be scared to death in front of the "Gills" with the terrifying jaws, but as long as they have eyes, no one will think that they are wearing iron plate steel armor and even have the police station logo "G3" as a weirdo, right?
"That's not right, what happened..."
Finally, the vigilance was filled with stern shouts, coming from the leader "Cure Heart": "Kamen Rider! You appeared again!"
For "Cure Heart", who is always full of energy and enthusiasm, it is hard to imagine anyone doing anything to make her resist with such a hostile attitude.
"Did you also find Jikochu just now? He even revealed his true form to come to us specifically. What do you want to do this time?!"
"..."
Ash's eyes drifted down from the fallen body of Jikochu on the side.
"We may have seen..."
This is of course, after all, the relationship between you and me is to the extent that you know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your depth.
"But what we've seen is a little bit unlikely."
But when you came, you did act like you didn't remember anything that happened in the past, including these Jikochu who should have become extinct...
"I don't understand a word you said."
"Same words, I'll give you this back - Rikka!"
Mana, who noticed his companion's reaction, quickly stood in front of his friend and rubbed his arm to make her gently slow down her arm.
"Don't force yourself, just leave it to us... and Rikka too! We will never let you bully her again!"
The good news is, it's not as bad as you think.
The bad news is, it might be worse than you think!
No, why do you say that I am like a destroyer of the world? How come everything is my fault?
"Woo..."
After hearing Mana's words, his arms gradually dropped to reveal his timid eyes. Seeing those eyes showing fear towards him, Ash's heart twitched and he was really anxious!
"Hey! Mana, Makoto, Arisu, Rikka!"
He called out their real names one by one, and suddenly the arrows were drawn back closer. The flames pouring out from the gaps in Rider's armor and spreading continuously were his anger! "What are you doing? You are not the legendary warrior - Pretty Cure (Precure). Have you really forgotten what we have experienced together?!"
No matter the friendship or love between me and you! Is it still the same will that you had when you wanted to save me? Now, do you want to say that these extremely important things are gone and no longer exist?!
"Of course we remember that you contacted us and we were meant to be friends!"
"Ha, I'll just say it!"
"But you betrayed us later and hurt everyone who originally trusted you!"
But when he said this, the anger burning in Mana's eyes while gritting his teeth was also not false.
"Especially Rikka - we will never forgive you, and we will never be naive enough to believe you again!"
We, Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure are enemies! Isn't that true!
"No! This is all in the past -"
"Whoosh——"
The flying Light Arrow easily penetrated the visor on the side of Yan Qi's face. His silent fingers dipped into the scattered fragments and wiped lightly, and the blood easily stained his hands.
"That's enough."
Maintaining the action of releasing Heart Arrow from his hand, the stern-eyed Arisu continued to aim at the seemingly unbelievable Ash, and his attitude continued not to give in at all.
"I just warned you, please don't come any closer!"
"Yes! Don't think that you can confuse me again."
Next to him, Makoto's fighting spirit was equally high.
"No matter what you want to do, we Pretty Cure will definitely stop your evil deeds!"
From the posture of Ash on the arrow just now, we can tell that they are not joking but are taking it seriously! Just...
The women I knew didn't seem like people who would do such a thing. At least... until for some reason.
"I..."
In their more alert eyes, Rider's raised hand seemed to be doing something, but in the end it slowly dropped down.
"Well, if you think that's the case..."
He took off his belt and turned his face away as if he didn't want them to see Ash clearly on his face.
"So be it."
After kneading and twisting his feet for a while, he finally turned around with Ash, and walked away step by step in the direction of departure with the overly dazzling vigilance behind him.
All that was left to them was the swaying backs of the setting sun gradually setting above their heads.
199
Chapter 199 Why is no one here to greet me when I get home?
"..."
The Pretty Cures, who were originally very wary of what kind of tricks Kamen Rider might do, did not start a fight with the furious opponent as expected. The man just took the initiative to cancel the transformation in the end and walked in the direction of leaving alone.
"What are you doing? It's like we are the bad guys..."
Makoto, who shook his head repeatedly and firmly returned to his strange thoughts, was convinced.
"No, maybe he just wants to make us want to sympathize with him, and then continue to use his bad ideas to torture us!"
However, compared to his departure, everyone is still more worried about Hishikawa Rikka, who obviously has a heavier psychological shadow.
"Rikka... do you feel okay?"
The concerned people finally felt relieved when they saw Rikka's back stopped shaking. However, it was precisely when the attention was focused on Rikka that no one else noticed that the corners of Yotsuba Arisu's mouth, who seemed to be equally concerned, had already curved up to the base of his ears.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, it's just..."
When she saw that figure before, she felt convinced that he had brought some inner demons to Rikka. The inexplicable heart palpitations made her feel pain from her hands to every part of her body.
"It's just..."
There are other unclear emotions that seem to still be lingering in my heart.
"It's okay, Rikka."
As her best friend, Ai caressed her back with his palms, as if he wanted to continue to use his passion to soothe his friend's heart.
"He's gone, so everything will be fine!"
"It's just..."
Rikka was a little moved when he heard this, but his eyes like rhinestones also looked in that direction.
The last thing she saw was the space left for them - their backs swaying under the setting sun above their heads, gradually lengthening and then blending into black and white.
"..."
"What's wrong, Rikka?"
Listening to the word Rikka kept repeating, Makoto looked suspicious and couldn't figure it out. What is this "just" you keep talking about?
Facing the worried questions from his companions, Rikka was really speechless, so he just stared at his back that he was afraid of. For a long time, he could only be speechless.
I vaguely remember that he seemed to have done something very excessive to me and took away the most precious thing from me.
But if this is the case, why does my heart... feel equally sad when I see him like that?
"What is it...?"
In the end, she didn't come up with any answer.
"I'm back."
Since he traveled through the world through the gear given by Kale, it is naturally unrealistic to carry Castle Dragon with him everywhere like in the past.
So after Ash returned to the heartbeat world, he took everyone back to the room he rented to store toys in the first volume after a long absence.
It was obviously a place that he had neglected for so long that he was almost forgetting it. He couldn't remember it until such a critical moment, but it seemed that it had always been well taken care of.
It seemed like it stopped a few months ago, and the place was covered with a thin layer of dust. After Ashu took care of it, it became a temporary base that could accommodate everyone.
"Welcome back~"
At least at this time, Ash, who heard that there was still someone willing to greet him, put his smile on the surface again.
"How about it, Ash?"
Although he asked this out of habit, when he saw the reluctant expression on Ash's face, the tacit understanding inherited from the past allowed Sakagami Ayumi to almost guess the development of the situation.
"No, not at all."
Ash, who shook his head helplessly, even laughed at himself.
"Now they are the people I hoped they would be against me in the beginning~ That's the fact. Reality will always be the opposite of what you want. This is life."
"Ah!"
But compared to these questions, the girl who noticed the gap in the man's cheek was startled and hurriedly walked to the bathroom.
"How could they do this? It's too much! I'm going to get bandages and band-aids now."
"It's not their fault, and I don't want to blame them."
