"So, who should we attack first?"
As a "first time" person, Ash feels that we must choose carefully and carefully!
First of all, there are no clues or information at all. The "Cure Ace" Pass that even Poker Kingdom doesn't know where to go has been lost. Although it is very regrettable, the problem is that now Ash can't even find the way to the Poker Kingdom, so there is really no way.
Compared with biological ones, my daughter's Makoto is also cheaper! It was not for anything else, but simply that the beam in her eyes was too heavy and could not be easily turned around. And to be honest, she is quite stupid or stubborn. Even if I explain it clearly to her, it is a foreseeable fact that if someone provokes her, she will turn red-eyed and "betray" on the spot. It is wise to solve it at the end.
"Then, Arisu..."
Thinking of the perfect young lady who had been calm and gentle to him from the beginning, and who had secretly supported him without any complaints. Thinking again about the hostility she showed now, Ash was silent for a moment.
"To be honest, the problems we encountered were too big."
At the beginning, Ash thought that this "Yotsuba Arisu" was simply a fake that had been artificially replaced. He also wanted to expose her in public so that everyone could recognize her true face and achieve two birds with one stone! But with subsequent contact, when he discovered that her every move contained elements that were definitely not fake, even Ash hesitated.
The information we know is too little.
"Now is not the time, now is still..."
Well, the factual answer is already obvious in front of Ash! The first choice at this time, no matter how you look at it, it should be Cure who has let down his guard and realized living together, and the actual center is also the most important——
"Okay, the decision is yours! Cure Diamond (Diamond Angel)!"
Ash, who had a sunny face, made a decision. Rikka, who was far away at school, shook his hand, and the eraser he was wiping rolled from his hand to the bottom of the teacher's podium.
"Although I feel sorry for you Rikka."
"But you still have to pick the soft ones to pinch the persimmons!"

Chapter 211: Big sister will always like little shota.
"Sister~sister?"
The small hands that kept dangling in front of him revived Hishikawa Rikka's spirit, which was still in a trance.
"Oh... is it Ash?"
Due to her distraction, Rikka, who was standing at the school gate, didn't really come back to her senses until the boy walked up to her and jumped up and down.
"Sister Rikka, what's on your mind?"
One glance was enough, but since he was a child, it was his privilege to ask in such an innocent tone as if nothing had happened.
"No more."
It's not good to show such an embarrassing look in front of children...
The moment of shame made her clear her throat quickly, and she subconsciously wanted to find an excuse to excuse herself.
"Sister just... just, yes! Sister Rikka just fell asleep, so she didn't notice little Ash."
"Did my sister sleep with her eyes open like Zhang Fei? How amazing!"
Seeing the gaze below that was full of "admiration", the girl, whose face turned red with embarrassment, almost couldn't help herself.
For Rikka, who is cautious by nature, looking for excuses to lie is a completely unfamiliar experience. This is the result of speaking without hesitation in an emergency.
"I'm sorry, Ash..."
Rikka, who half-crouched down to put their eyes on the same level, put his hands on the boy's shoulders, said apologetically.
"Actually, my sister is waiting for someone, so Ash is the same. Are you here to wait for Mana to come home?"
At this time on weekdays, I should obviously go home chatting and laughing with Mana who is traveling the same way. But for some reason today, she waited alone until now, after saying goodbye to Arisu who was picked up by the housekeeper and Makoto who was anxious to record a new song, and when almost everyone else in the school was gone, she was still not seen.
Everyone feels weird lately... No, it's more than that.
To be honest, it should be that since the appearance of Kamen Rider, he has inserted himself into their originally hot relationship like a piece of "hard ice", turning everyone's originally happy and harmonious relationship into something quite strange!
Especially me... From the time I was in class, I clearly remember the fear of being beaten with absolute strength by him, and the unwillingness to be bullied! But I still can't help but think about him...
'Obviously he is such a scumbag...why on earth can't I let go! '
"Don't you know, Sister Rikka?"
While Rikka continued to secretly say "It's all Kamen Rider's fault", the young man with the shining eyes continued to speak innocently.
"Mana, sister Student Council, seems to have a lot of extra work to do today, so she will probably go back very late."
"Huh? Is... is that so?"
Rikka Recall it carefully... It's broken. It seems that you really told yourself?
With the corners of his mouth constantly twitching and his eyes wandering, Rikka also gradually recalled it. It seems that Mana, who helped me pick up the eraser before, did tell me this when get out of class was over, but I was inexplicably thinking about Kamen Rider at the time, so I was distracted and didn't notice it at all.
Now... isn't it all my fault? It was obviously Mana who was talking to me, but I was thinking about someone else. Isn't this completely cheating? Oops Rikka You idiot, did you say that cheating is used in this way? Don't think about this mess at this time!
Looking at the "Network Connection Interrupted" message above her head, Ash understood this clearly as she looked like a girl who was having a crazy inner world at war between heaven and man. I feel relieved to see that you still like to worry as much as before, but you still insist on showing that you don't care outside, and you still act like a sullen housekeeper.
"Sister Rikka."
So in order to prevent this cycle from continuing, the boy as Ash took the initiative to speak with excitement.
"Is there something I can tell you about?"
"You mean?"
Hearing the quiet whisper from the young man approaching, the girl's pupils gradually opened.
"Ah, Rikka You're actually here? Didn't you tell me you don't have to wait for me today?"
"..."
The blue-haired girl rubbed her nose, which was inexplicably itchy and made her want to sneeze. She put her hands on her hips and still looked unhappy as usual.
"Mana You have the nerve to say it, how could I not wait for you!"
"...?"
I obviously didn't offend Rikka just now, right? Why did I get angry out of nowhere? I don't understand. I was really confused by the sudden change of face of my friend, but when Mana turned his attention to the boy next to him, he was happy again.
"Ah! Even Ash you are waiting for me, Mana I am so touched~ Ah, of course Rikka I am also very touched."
As the time the two spend together grows, Aida Mana begins to feel more and more heartfelt love for this young man who seems to understand him very well and is in tune with him in every aspect! Gradually, I began to feel reluctant to let him go.
But when I think that we will eventually be separated, that love gradually turns into a double loneliness that hits my heart.
"Because I was taken care of by sister Mana, I must repay her in return. This is the most important lesson my most important person has taught me."
"Hmm! That's such a nice thing to say! I want to meet someone who can say such nice things!"
"I think there will be opportunities in the future."
As for who this person is, of course he is close at hand and far away.
"Mana is still so interested in new friends, so Rikka I seem to be just a side note at the end."
On average, I was only given half a sentence of three and a half sentences. Although I resented being treated differently, when Rikka also saw Ash's sunny face now, he couldn't help but be tolerant.
"She is still so young, but yet she cares so much about her."
Rikka couldn't help but put her fingers into the black hair and simply continued to rub it happily.
"It seems that you have done a good job in what my sister asked you to do before. If you do this, you must praise me... Great, great!"
"Sister Rikka, I feel so itchy~"
I think you are really addicted to playing, right? If it weren't for the fact that my hair had always been of excellent quality and had no hair loss problem, Ash would have no doubt that their enthusiasm would have made it as sparse as a felled forest.
Although he felt completely helpless to be touched so enthusiastically, Ash, who had to pretend to be an innocent child and couldn't do anything to counterattack, could only continue to be at her mercy.
The good news is that it actually feels quite comfortable to be coquettishly acted like this. The bad news is that he seems to be getting better and better at using his appearance to act cute naturally.
But... everything is for my plan to save everyone! Just hold on, my pride!

Chapter 212: A date from Kamen Rider?
"Ah~ When did Rikka and Ash have such a good relationship? How cunning!"
Mana, who kept mumbling, could not bear it when he saw the young boy he was close to falling into the clutches of Rikka so easily, so he immediately took action and "kneaded" the boy together as if to vent their anger until they were satisfied.
"Okay."
Ai and Rikka, who were standing on the left and right, each held the boy's little hand, and then planned to go home.
"It's already late, let's go home! Well... it sounds like we have become a family, haha~"
"Wait a minute, Mana."
At this moment, Rikka, who was holding the other side in his hand, gradually began to tighten, and after a little hesitation, he took the initiative to propose to her.
"Today, can you lend me little Ash for a day?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Rikka's words and Mana's shocked voice, Ash, who secretly kept a straight face to avoid revealing his secret, shook his fist vigorously in his heart.
The first step of the plan was successful, Rikka she accepted it!
"Hey, hey, why?"
"Because I also... I also want to take care of such a cute Ash, so I took him to play."
Even now, Rikka she is so coy that she doesn't even dare to look into people's eyes when speaking, which shows that she really can't lie.
"Yes, sister Mana! I also want to go out for a day with sister Rikka, is that okay?"
Fortunately, due to the fact that he was still in surprise and his subconscious trust as a friend for many years, and Ash's excuse to help make up for it in the end, Aida Mana never noticed anything was wrong. Finally, looking into the shining eyes of the young man below, she nodded in agreement with a hint of reluctance.
"Okay, since even Ash himself thinks so..."
"UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuHe was obviously picked up and raised as a younger brother, and Ash is so well-behaved, Ash is good! Now Rikka snatches it away, Rikka is bad!"
"I told you that I just took him to have fun, so I don't want to repay you... who is the bad guy?"
Although Mana has now gotten rid of the bad habit of being fond of the new and hating the old, she still somehow manages to come up with such jumping topics and ideas that make it difficult for them to live in. I really don't know who she learned this from?
Of course, this kind of sudden madness also requires Ash to work very hard to stop himself from paying attention to Ai's eyes full of regret and loss.
Ah, okay, even though it seems as obscene as "Boki" to Mona Lisa's hand, I admit it! No matter from the beginning or until now, whether as a void villain or a righteous partner. Mana The unwilling expression you show when encountering setbacks is so delicious that I can't stop eating it!"
"Bye~Miss Mana."
But things were different after all. The boy who knew that "bullying" should be done in moderation did not forget to say one final word before waving goodbye.
"Don't worry too much about me Mana sister~ I will be back tomorrow so I can see you again~"
"You have to come back early, otherwise..."
The accumulated regret and reluctance on the face of the girl who also waved goodbye turned into a helpless smile when it gradually reached its peak.
"Sister, I will be lonely."
Lonely?
It was really surprising. Ash never expected to get such an answer from her.
That Aida Mana, who is sunny and proactive, has friends all over the world, and even I, who had always repaid kindness with evil in the past, wants to be influenced by love.
The first thing that comes to mind is loneliness?
The main reason why Rikka took the initiative to ask Mana to take him for a day was because of what he had whispered to him before.
"Ash brother, what on earth did he say to you?"
The Kamen Rider that she hated and feared so much, but actually cared about so much, somehow had to ask this young man to bring her these words!
"That's right!"
With the words innocence and honesty written all over his face, the young man pretending to be completely ignorant of the inside story nodded.
"That's what the big brother really said."
"It means..."
"Brother Rider, who is wearing a mask, asked me to bring you a message, saying that he wants to date sister Rikka!"
Convinced that she heard correctly, Hishikawa Rikka felt as if someone had ignited the fuse of a bomb in her head, causing an uncomfortable buzzing in her entire consciousness.
