You said you want to take me with you to create Mirai. Obviously, without you, everyone's Mirai would not be there.
"But I realized that there was something wrong with me. Father, I realized that I was really wrong about it."
I was created by that system and came into this world without inheriting any cause and effect. Apart from the core He gave me, I really have nothing and nothing.
"But after getting to know you, whether it's my father, Miss Puka, Aunt Ayumi, the friendship and love shown to me by everyone in this warm family has gradually filled up my originally empty heart."
"I can't be considered as having nothing."
Also, I'm sorry, I also lied once. In order not to worry you, there is one thing I have never told you.
His power brought me from the non-existent Mirai to the current timeline. Once this power disappears, of course I will disappear as if I never existed, right?
But it would be better to just leave without leaving a trace and watch the people you love suffer.
"Compared to this, why don't you let me, your daughter, do something for you and show some filial piety?"
Since you can give up such a beautiful Mirai for me, then I can give up the non-existent Mirai for you, right?
"After all, you said that things like meaning must be given by people themselves, right?"
This meaning needs to be found by oneself. I seem to have found this meaning.
Just like the sun rises in front of everyone after it sets, a "sun" that is too dazzling for this void world was taken out from his chest by Homi, whose figure gradually became illusory.
"Homi...?"
Ayumi, who was so exhausted that he had released his transformation, looked at her. Although he could feel the strong energy of Mugen in it, he still didn't know what she was going to do...
"Homi."
Next to her, Ashu, who moved Puka onto her lap, opened her eyes wide. She opened her mouth as if she realized something and subconsciously raised her hand, but finally slowly put her hand away under the girl's determined gaze.
"So Dad, I can only ask you to open up this Mirai by yourself~ Homi I will go back for the time being... and then I will follow your footsteps."
The girl's eyes looked at the people on the other side who were fighting with their lives to protect the people behind them.
The girl, who seemed to want to engrave each of their faces in her mind, looked at the person next to her for a long time, until finally, her gaze fell on the face of the man who seemed to have brilliance in his half-open eyes. The girl who was once named Homi smiled happily for the first time sincerely.
I remember He said that this "thing" was originally created by Ash and Him, and it was because of Him that something that should not have appeared appeared.
"Then since you exist for Ash, then go and save Ash for me!"
"————" The newly born "Sun" was held high by the girl's hands, and then driven hard into the core of Ash's broken and wide-open belt!
"..."
Ash opened his eyes, and everything in front of him felt very familiar.
After experiencing the boundary between life and death countless times, he also saw the same scene after opening his eyes countless times. Usually the first thing that will talk to you here is the voice of the system. And today, Ash heard voices from other people for the first time.
"Do you need power?"
"Yeah, without strength. I can't be as strong as you."
"Give you strength."
The setting sun slowly sinks into the long-burned ashes, allowing every particle and dust to shine with enough light to burn again.
Kaller wanted to cross over to Pretty Cure, who had fought until he was unconscious, and went to Ash, but was blocked by the last person.
"Someone is working hard to save us, of course we have to respect him——!!"
After using up the last bit of strength and exhausting the last bit of spirit, Aida Mana, who was still shouting out after the pink suit had reached its limit and detransformed, still staggered over the fallen comrades and punched Kalle in the face.
"Desperately?"
As a result, the back of her hand was injured by her own strength. Kaler just looked at her with a cold eye, watching the girl whose hands were dripping with blood and drew a blood mark on her helmet, finally stood there and passed out in such a punching posture.
As a clone that inherited the memory of Ash, even if there was only a negative part of the memory, Kaler knew who the nosy red-haired girl in front of him was. After all, the bad memories he left for her were less than the ponytail on the other side.
This person is still the same overly tolerant and nosy person as before, but what's the point?
"The result... is it going to do anything other than waste us a few seconds?"
She even put away her weapons without any thought of finishing. When World Kaiser looked around again, they realized that there was no Pretty Cure left standing except for her.
"Hahaha... is it over?"
"Have miracles finally been extinguished after shining countless times? This is really a tragic ending that makes those who believe in miracles extremely miserable~"
"Wrong."
Thinking that he heard the wrong voice, Kaller, who had reached the limit of self-deprecation, kept moving like crazy and froze in place.
"Miracle, there's another one here."
"What's going on?" His head turned like a gear, and he looked at the man standing behind him, his pure white coat stained red with blood from his chest. His tone seemed to be extremely complicated, a mixture of despair and hope. "Why are you still here?"
The TV lying on the ground was bounded by the crack across the screen, which happened to reflect the faces of two Ash with the same expression at this moment.
"[How, how could it be?]" On the other side of the TV, Kamen Rider Enki, the ultimate villain, looked at "Ash" who was still standing even after his chest was completely pierced, and his tone was full of disbelief. "[How did you stand up after your transformed human body was destroyed? How is it possible that you are still alive?]"
"[It's everyone's thoughts... No!]" Even though his life-supporting heart was blown to pieces and there was no chance of survival, "Ash" still stood in front of the enemy with eyes burning. Countless figures who had helped him and been helped by him in the past episodes stood behind him as if they had come alive! "[It's the experiences I've had with everyone along the way, the experiences that have changed me and supported me to where I am now!]"
"Then..." Ash said.
"[As long as there are still people in this world calling for justice, Kamen Rider will survive no matter how many times!]" This is what the men named Ash said.
"[Kamen Rider, the cricket that hinders our hegemony——!]"
Standing there, letting the flames released from the opponent's hands burn him, "Ash", who transformed the belt into a new look, stretched out his arms and pressed on it and shouted loudly.
"[Transform!]"
"The crickets will not burn up the ashes left behind——!"
Standing there, letting the stream of light emitted from the opponent's weapon devour him, Ash, who transformed his belt into a new look, stretched out his arms and pressed on it, shouted loudly.
"Hen——"
When the arms swung over the head in response to the mechanical sound, the red turbine exploding in the center of the belt blew up a sudden burst of particle storms, and the right leg retreated, causing cracks in the ground. There was an explosion of leather gloves being squeezed in the rotating green storm, and the knife thrust out from the storm to cut it open drew a scorching arc in the air.
"This is -" Through the slightly opened window, Kaler was able to see the changes clearly. Burning biological metal spurted out from the cracks in the collarbone, and black armor instantly covered the whole body. The vertical pupils of the demon dragon opened from the back of the head and the sharp horns turned into sharp teeth and bit in front of the man whose face was covered with tear-like lines. "Did you awaken the dragon monster after choosing to accept Dark Echo last time?"
But things are different now. After the last battle, I already know how to deal with this form that is only too powerful. Just as he was thinking this, a human fist wrapped in a pitch-black gauntlet blasted out from the lava armor on the demon dragon's chest. Before he could react, the monster's outer shell was completely shattered by the pressure of the fist that spread and exploded from within.
The ferocious lava lines turned into cracks, and the demonic dragon's vertical pupils exploded into pieces. Amidst the constant crisp sounds of crustacean creatures shedding their shells underneath, bluish-white flames spurted out from the cracks and poured into the storm, exploding the shimmering reality behind it with the exploding flames.
"Shin——!"
Explosions penetrated the flames, and compound-eyed goggles were outlined in the heat. Among the scattered flames and ashes, the green breastplate absorbed the last flames like a tornado. The surface of the pitch-black gauntlet was clenched hard, and the surface of the black gauntlet glowed with a metallic cold light in the hot air.
A romantic scarf was blown high behind her.
That is, the tentacles and mask in the form of insects.
That is, the green breastplate and the jet black gauntlet.
That is, the first and last gift prepared by the system for Ash is his last, strongest and final Kamen Rider, whose name is——
"Kamen Rider (KAMEN RIDER) Ash!"
Is this the new power you've gained? Looking at this appearance, which is very similar to the original Kamen Rider, the five members of World Kaiser, who didn't feel any difference at all, couldn't help but applaud him.
"What an outstanding person, what a great person, what a hero - he has gathered the hope of all the people who love and protect him, and now he has to put an end to one of the culprits..."
Then without hesitation, the Earth Cannon, Flame Rocket Launcher, Roaring Cannon, Super Air Cannon - countless of the team's lethal weapons used to annihilate evil in the past were pointed at Kamen Rider and the trigger was pulled.
"But it was you who cut off the happy ending given to you! The only thing left to you in reality is a cruel and heartless ending without a miracle!
Explosion! There were only a variety of dazzling explosions in front of him, and then after passing through the bursts of flames and smoke, a single human figure jumped across the sky with an iconic roar.
The next moment, Rider fell from the sky, angry and ferocious.
"!"
The pink World Kaiser, who was on the outermost periphery and felt something was wrong, quickly raised his arms and blocked the violent fist with the lingering flames - easily blocked?
"Punch power...1 ton? "Looking at Rider with eyes burning in front of him, even Kaler couldn't help but want to laugh at him. "Is this the power you will get when you are about to lose everything? Hey hey hey, Ash! Isn't this no progress?!"
If this is the "pain" that needs to be endured in the end, even he, a container that has accepted all malice, would feel pathetic for Ash!
"Kacha——"
If that's the case, then why did his arm armor break before his fist?
Oh, it turns out that the power in his hand is still growing? Is it the final form of that growth type? Okay, I want to see where your limit is... Ten, one hundred, ten thousand, billion? ——!
"Bang!"
While continuously infusing power, Ash restricted all the excess power diffusion momentum to his hand with this mediocre punch, and with a muffled sound that was not that loud, the pink World Kaiser in front of him was knocked away.
But World Kaiser, who finally withstood the punch, seemed to have lost any of his previous majesty. He was like a kite with a broken string. He was knocked into the air and screamed out the number in great embarrassment with his arms broken.
"Infinite numbers——?!"
As the initiator of all this, Ash seemed to have little sense of reality, clenching and unclenching the fist against him repeatedly.
What's going on? I just want to have enough power to defeat the enemy in front of me, and then the response given by this power is as if everyone I know punched me at the same time... How should I describe this feeling?
As his eyes drifted past those Pretty Cures who fought for themselves until the last moment, Ash thought of that word.
"A miracle."
Just like the miracles they had brought to themselves, there was no reason to describe them.
"It feels like I can do anything now."
Of course, you won't lose to anyone.
Rather than anger, malice, or those impure things that are not necessary to defeat the enemy, Ash, whose eyes continued to burn with fire, looked at the pink World Kaiser who finally fell among them, with his arms broken, and imitated their example and sneered.
"I remember you originally only had one arm, right? Although I don't know how you repaired it, I think this look suits you better."
"Asshole!"
The one who responded to their malicious anger was Ash's clenched and raised fist. The raised fist was without any special effects explosion embellishment and was ordinary but would not be ignored by any enemy. He raised his index finger and pointed at World Kaiser on the opposite side.
"Ash Biography Chapter 3, Section 16 says——"
"I'm going to defeat you completely!"

"What's going on, what's going on? What the hell is that!!"
From simply unbelievable, to distortion, and finally turned into defense-breaking. Kahler's roar crackled layer by layer in the void, and the black wave that exploded and spread with them as the center was instantly evaporated into pale smoke when it touched the flames around Rider.
He calls himself... "Kamen Rider Ash"?
Such an unclear transformation suddenly appeared... If I am also "Ash", why have I never heard of it? It's even more incomprehensible! This name does not exist in my memory bank at all!
The man who calls himself the "container" of Ash's negativity is having his soul burned by the power of his own origin - every crack on the mask seems to be mocking his existence.
"What the hell is going on with you, one after another!?"
The cube-shaped whale cannon smashed into the palm of his hand and he aimed at Rider and pulled the trigger. After the song "Beast King Finale~" resounded in the void, the energy cube that should have been able to penetrate the moon was as docile as a returning baby bird the moment it hit his arm armor. It followed the trajectory of Rider's hand and took off into the sky and turned into a distant meteor.
"Ash..."
The golden meteor shower illuminated the girl's tearful smile. Miyuki, who was lying with her companions, moved her eyes and finally closed them with peace of mind.
"Why, since you said you are me, don't you recognize this belt?"
Not to mention Kahler's explosive mentality, when Ash saw this windmill belt that had not been modernized and only the center Tatsumaki Device was still rotating, he recognized it at first sight.
Isn't this the first Kamen Rider transformation belt that I jointly created with the system, my debut "Ash Driver"?
