It's too fast... Don't you think it's too fast and too abrupt?
For a time, various complex emotions such as the shame of being overwhelmed, the pain and sadness of the past, etc., seemed to have opened a soy sauce shop on her face, and they all turned into an extremely "wonderful" "picture".
"What are these..."
This simple sentence caused her great confusion. Her glasses almost shook off the bridge of her nose. Rikka, who was in a state of confusion, could only suppress the buzzing sound underneath by pressing her cold fingers on her temples.
Aren't we enemies? Not only that, in our impression you are even our enemy! But what are you talking about all of a sudden now... What is the meaning of this?!
Sure enough... it's a trap, right? No matter how you look at it, this is a trap set to lure me in and completely defeat Pretty Cure! That's not right... If you want to set a trap, you must put in enough attractive bait! This date... has no meaning at all?
But in this case... the girl who put her palms on her tight chest in school uniform had to admit that her heart was indeed beating so fast.
Just like she cared about him before.
"Or it could be that he was just joking to make me happy. In this case, it is indeed very possible. If it was him -"
When unfolding the high-speed divine words without even punctuation, Rikka suddenly realized, "Oh no, why do I look so familiar with him?"
"I'll lead the way~"
As if to prevent her from having any buffer time, the enthusiastic boy shouted "road" and ran in a certain direction.
"Wait a minute, little Ash - he and I are not who you think!"
Do you think we are some kind of couple? Little Ash, you are wrong about this!
The inexplicably fast boy ran far away in a blink of an eye. Rikka had no choice but to follow closely first.
However, what no one noticed was.
"Rust—"
Along with the faint sound, a pair of eyes appeared from the darkness, looking at their backs.
The pair of eyes that had been following them all the way, focusing on the two of them without ever moving away, also continued to follow them quietly at this moment without saying a word.

Chapter 213 Rikka: It was you who took away my virginity...
"Hoo-ho!"
He originally waited until very late to leave school, so when Rikka chased behind him through the streets and alleys panting with his chest tight and shaking, the sun above his head had already half-set, leaving the sky sinking into a chaotic picture between dusk and night.
Really, why can someone who is obviously a primary school student run so fast?
"I'm so anxious that I don't even want to listen to anyone's explanation. Where did I run to... ah! Where is it!"
Although he kept complaining, when he caught the opponent's last figure before the corner, Rikka followed him very honestly. He shouted while running without forgetting.
"Wait for me! Little Ash, I misunderstood. The date and all that was just what that person said. It's actually not what you thought -"
Rikka, who wanted to catch up with the boy to explain clearly, continued to follow closely behind him, but just when he was about to cross the corner, he stopped there along with his footsteps and the expression on his face.
There was no other reason than that the person standing in the alley was not the naughty boy as expected, but... a man with a camera in his hand pointed at him.
Ash? Kamen Rider!
"Oh, what a coincidence, we actually meet here again."
The raised palm subconsciously blocked the exposed half of his face, blocking the light from the flash.
"Is it really a coincidence... rather than you waiting for me here specifically?"
The usual calm person could no longer calm down when he saw the other party. Only anger and trembling continued to burn in his heart.
When she put down her arm, Ash also took the initiative to pass the developed photo to the other party.
"Look, my photography skills are pretty bad, right?"
However, Ash, who was rarely enthusiastic, was destined to be disappointed. Rikka had no intention of taking it or even touching her. In front of the girl's determined face, his enthusiasm this time was destined to be in vain.
"Are you looking for me... or are you looking for me alone? What are you going to do?"
"Are you going to bully us and do something excessive to me just to make Pretty Cure scream in pain?"
"Nothing else."
It was rare to have the opportunity to fight one-on-one despite being hostile. Although the opponent was aggressive, Ash didn't want to make the atmosphere tense right away, so he kept his tone relatively relaxed.
"That's literally it. I'm here to date you to repair the relationship!"
The date between the handsome Kamen Rider and the cute Pretty Cure ~ Listen, what a reasonable and natural development, isn't it?
"Really?"
Looking up again, the color in the sky is no longer even the afterglow of the sun, and the only thing left is that of the coming night.
Why would you choose a date like this at this time...
It is indeed a bit late at this time.
"Rikka."
Seeing that the other party's guard was slightly relieved, Ash seized this opportunity and immediately took a serious attitude and prepared to start talking about emotions and reasons.
"I admit that I did do some extremely excessive things to you in the past! I admit that this is my sin!"
At that time, it was King of Jikochu that affected the hidden Dark Echo and caused him to go crazy or something. Such a poor explanation sounds too much like an excuse, so Ash is not going to deny anything... But, at that time, I did beat you until you were completely naked, and I also took away everything you believed in and your dignity.
At that time, Ash was indeed such an excessive guy.
"..."
"I also know that to you now, I am completely a guy who goes back on my word and is not worthy of trust. But I still want to ask you to at least believe in what I have done. You should also see that I am definitely no longer just the same person as I used to be - "
"Don't make it sound so easy!"
You have done something outrageous to someone, and now you are just apologizing to express your regret, and you want to brush it off as if nothing happened?!
Hishikawa Rikka, who was always amiable and had a calm demeanor even in battles in the past, suddenly roared, startling Ash.
"And the one who always calls people directly as Rikka... me!"
As if her patience was finally breaking out, tears gradually filled the girl's eyes.
"I have never been so familiar with you!"
"Even if I am Pretty Cure, I - I too! I can't forgive you!"
Looking at the girl in front of him who had suppressed his emotions and started to go berserk, Ash continued to stand there, listening to her vent without saying a word.
"I'm sorry."
"I...!"
I don't know if he was more stimulated by this apology. Rikka, who held his head tightly, also felt that the painful past that he didn't want to recall began to gradually become clearer.
"Don't—"
Ah, I remember.
In their memory, the terrifying existence with ferocious dragon teeth tore apart all the beauty and goodwill just to teach them the so-called reality. Including your own, whether it's the physical pain of breaking your own arm, the malice that tempts people to fall, or the excessiveness of forcibly separating yourself from Mana regardless of anyone else's thoughts!
"You've done everything, right?"
"... Yes."
Also, I remember - even though she was in extreme pain at the moment, the tears in the corners of her eyes fell naturally down her cheeks without her realizing it, making her feel that thing.
"It was you who... took away my virginity..."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Ash fell into a kind of dead silence.
What should I do, kids, I really did it. Just...
Should we say at this time that they were actually in love with each other? Then Rikka would definitely slap him in the face on the spot.
So think about it, at this time, you want to be shy and say that we made a mistake, but in fact it was a misunderstanding. Would you believe it?! If you still think that we are so easily deceived, it will only make Hishikawa Rikka even more angry!
"Rikka!"
As if sensing her partner's "anger", her partner's elf had turned into a mobile phone and jumped into her hand.
"And... where is Ash him?"
Precure Love Link——The dark blue ponytail was thrown down from behind like a waterfall. It was clearly "Diamond Angel" that used the power of diamonds, but the bright fragments that shattered under her feet seemed to contain some kind of ice-piercing chill.
He was obviously leading the way for me, why didn't I find him?
"What did you do to Ash!"
"Nothing was done."
"Liar!!!"
214
Chapter 214 Why am I so skilled...
"Transform!"
People often say that honest people who are usually kind and gentle are the scariest when they are annoyed, and this is indeed the case in front of Ash.
There was no time to even wait for the flames that put the mask on the man to subside. After the flying diamond spray blew away the curtain of fire, the black and red armor that was brand new just now continued to create cracks in the sparks that exploded all over the body, and the Ash inside also retreated in embarrassment.
The girl, who still had tears in her eyes, wrapped herself in a diamond tornado as sharp as a sharp knife, waved her fists and stepped forward in pursuit, leaving no room for Rider to relax.
"It's so scary to look angry Rikka... especially when you are a Precure."
Maintaining the step of retreating without losing balance, Ash kept shaking with his waist as the axis. He just maintained the extremely difficult dodge action and barely missed Rikka's powerful attack.
"... Don't just call people by their names!"
I told you that we are not close to this level yet!
Whether it is Hishikawa Rikka's temperament or the performance of "Cure Diamond", she is obviously not the type that favors attack, but now she has such an aggressive appearance, so Ash also calls her scary.
Although they had clearly explained it, they were really not willing to listen at all. They only believed in their own wishful thinking and thought that Kamen Rider and Ash were both their enemies. This seemed quite unreasonable and unfair.
But Ash can actually understand them.
After all, no matter how good or bad people are, they are creatures that will always keep their first impression firmly in their hearts. No matter how good a person becomes or how bad a person becomes later on, this initial impression will never change.
The so-called Bai Yueguang and the old hatred that cannot be resolved are probably like this.
"However, Rao is so..."
Rider The animal-headed pauldron on his shoulders, which seemed to be just for decoration, suddenly opened his mouth, bit into the flying diamond fragments, and chewed them up in two mouthfuls with the sound of "Gahba, Gahba".
"I have no choice but to surrender without mercy!"
Exploring a flaw in the girl's two-handed attack, Rider had no intention of letting this great opportunity pass by! A piercing fist shot out that sounded like a cannonball, causing Diamond Angel, who was hit in the chest to shake his flesh, to cover his heavy chest and retreat again and again!
Okay, Rikka! Cure Diamond (Diamond Angel)! Do you want to fight me? Just like what I taught you in the past, I want to have more direct communication through actual combat! Some questions can only be answered through fighting, right?
"Okay! You want to fight-"
If you are also pursuing such satisfaction!
"I will fight for you!"
"That's not right, Dad!"
Homi, who was quietly watching the battle, almost couldn't hold back his excitement and screamed.
No matter how you look at this time, you should continue to work harder and coax the other party with sincerity and gentleness, right? As a result, not only did they not step on the brakes, but they stepped on the accelerator and rushed straight towards an even worse road of fighting each other - how could anyone coax a girl like this?
However, although it seems to be a quite outrageous development from Homi, what is actually unknown is that... more "deep" communication through fists and feet is really how Ash first met them.
Likewise, watching the battle between the two.
The eyes that followed him all the way seemed to have decided something and started to flicker.
"Drink ah ah ah!!"
Obviously, he usually mainly uses his own control skills to assist other partners who are the main attackers in combat, but now Rikka's punches and kicks are getting faster and harder! Forcing Rider in front of him to dodge more and more frequently and in an increasingly exaggerated way.
Okay, now I am using this "Kamen Rider Enki" who has one ton of punching power, two tons of kicking power, and even the defense is actually better than nothing. How can I defeat the Diamond Angel in front of me who is getting stronger as his mentality becomes higher and stronger?
The hands that were constantly spinning into a circle in front of him were like two doors, which indeed dissipated most of the power that hit the front, but the remaining part was enough to explode along the ground under his feet. And looking at the way Rikka was still charging fiercely with anger, it was obvious that he was far from exhausted.
