Chapter 107

The Second Transformation, Kamen Rider Ryuga!

“Is that so? I’m sorry for joking around.”

Such a bad joke! Seeing Rikka’s anger towards Ash for teasing her friend, she glared at him resentfully. He seemed oblivious to her feelings, maintaining his indifferent expression.

Hey, even the corner of your mouth betrays you; you must have laughed! I saw it clearly!

“A flat apology holds no sincerity.” Rikka was too agitated to add more.

What’s wrong with this person? They’re so annoying!

“What’s wrong with Rikka? Her face is so red, is she sick?” Ai couldn’t understand why her friend’s face looked flushed.

“No, Mana, why are you so keen on noticing others’ problems but can’t see your own…”

“Excuse me for interrupting.” Ash interjected, shaking a black bottle decorated with tank engravings on his right hand and pointed towards the school stadium.

“Is that kind of thing common at your school?”

As the two turned their gaze toward the stadium, they were immediately captivated by what they saw.

At this moment, giant baseballs and footballs dominated the stadium, with the balls bouncing between them causing chaos and destruction all over the sports field.

The students originally in P.E. class screamed and fled orderly, showing the professional agility expected of bystanders during an action scene.

“The Selfish Beasts!” Rikka and Ai looked at the monsters, their faces turning grim. “And there are two of them!”

Era, a blue-haired boy with bat wings, hovered above the two beasts, boasting as he commanded, “Unleash your inner darkness, Selfish Beasts, pour even more malevolent thoughts to the Selfish King!”

“Soccer’s better, this stadium is mine!” “Baseballs are better, aren’t they!”

Ignoring Era’s command, the two Selfish Beasts bickered furiously with each other, not even considering compromise—a perfect embodiment of their selfish nature.

Ash leaned against the wall, his eyes switching back and forth between Era and the two Selfish Beasts.

“Thus, that makes those the officers and the monsters here, right? They’re called Selfish Beasts, quite fitting actually.” Ash mused with a thoughtful look, quickly drawing a conclusion from his past experiences.

But if there are monsters, there must be correspondingly heroic figures out there too.

“You’re awfully familiar with this guy.”

Although it’s apparent from Ai and Rikka’s expressions that they had a link to these monsters, Ash put on a curious act to ask.

Upon hearing Ash’s words, Ai made a miserable face: “W-Whatever, since we’ve encountered them frequently, hahahaha~”

“Then you really know them well?”

“You could say so.” Rikka joined in with an awkward smile.

Of course, they were familiar—they were the fighters constantly battling against the Selfish Beasts. Ash definitely asked the right people this time.

Seeing their anxious explanations, Ash was tempted to laugh. Their reactions were just so entertaining; deliberately asking got him the answer he wanted.

“For now, this is dangerous! Mr. Ash, please leave quickly!”

Rikka tried to persuade Ash to leave, but he remained indifferent.

Why would I miss such an amazing scene?

“No, I’m fine where I am, I can see everything clearly. Besides, you two girls aren’t in a hurry to flee, why should I be?”

Rikka tried to reason further, but Ash dismissed her remarks.

Seeing that Ash was still standing there, Ai too became anxious. She moved beside Rikka and, seeing her friend helplessly shake her head, felt exasperated.

“No use, this person won’t listen,” Rikka’s eyes filled with resentment. The sight of her friend, who instead of wanting to escape upon seeing the monster, showed great interest, was baffling and infuriating to her. Why did he want to get himself killed? Wasn’t preserving one’s life better?

“Hmm, alright then… Let’s do it!”

Looking at both Ash and the rampaging monsters in the stadium, Ai bit her lip, made up her mind, and announced loudly.

“Rikka, Chiruru, let’s go! Transform!”

“Transform? No, there are others around, transforming will expose our identities, Sharu!”

Chiruru, the pink rabbit spirit of Ai, immediately objected, referring to Ash standing there motionless.

“There’s no choice then, Mr. Ash isn’t leaving, staying as we are means the Selfish Beasts will destroy this school!”

Saying something that could cause part of the student body a lot of joy, but Ai as the Student Council President wouldn’t allow for it!

“Mr. Ash, may I ask you to hold Ai for a moment!”

After handing Ai to the amused-looking Ash, Ai returned hastily to the now ruinous sports field edge.

“Now, defeating the Selfish Beasts take priority. Sharu!”

There’s no choice but to trust Mr. Ash not to say anything! Determined to take action, Ai resolved to do whatever necessary.

“Mana, everything is on you!”

“If even you are saying so, then… There’s no other choice, we have to go!”

A pink mist burst from Chiruru’s body as he transformed into an “Amour Phone,” which Ai grabbed.

Now, a transformation was about to happen, Ash adjusted his position to better watch.

As Raquel, Rikka’s partner, transformed similarly. The two girls nodded at each other, under Ash’s expectant gaze, lifting their [Amour Phones] high, inserting the Change Device [Healing Adorner] into the groove. A strange energy enveloped them, and they shouted together:

“PrecureLoveLink!”

To others, the transformation appeared instantaneously, but to Ash, it was clearly visible. Indeed, he truly intended to watch closely.

Drawing “L—O—V—E” on the screen,伴随着手机中愈发强烈的心跳声声，灵光闪烁的光芒化为纯洁的光之衣披在少女的身上，两人的齐肩短发瀑布般从后背扑下，浓厚的美发如细碎的金沙闪着亮光。

粉色与蓝色的光之衣化作丝带缠绕在少女身上，光芒的丝带缓缓紧缚、凝实，分别化为了保护爱与六花的战衣。象征身份的可爱配饰做为耳环与发带点缀在她们身上。

少女们的战衣柔软而不妩媚，简洁而又美丽。她们的身上散发着一种朴素而自然的魅力。

“嗯？”正在观赏变身特效的亚修发出了奇怪的声音，因为现在的事态发展偏离了他的判断。

不是覆面的骑士、不是五色的战士、不是光明的巨人，也不是金属英雄或者是超星神这一种类别。

“不是蒙面…. 与我想的不同吗？” 看着变成CureHeart和CureDiamond的爱和六花，几样名词在他的脑海中瞬间呈现。

魔法少女？ 美少女战士？ 甜心战士？舞法天女？ 刷拉拉小魔仙？ 不对… 不是这些… 它们刚才好像提到了Precure…

亚修倒吸一口凉气，这个词汇如此熟悉，正是这种熟悉感打开了他脑海深处的记忆盒。

Precure？ 光之美少女! 传说中的战士！

“充满爱！CureHeart(心天使) ！”

“智慧之光！CureDiamond(水晶天使) ！”

用唱名宣告自己的出场，变成CureHeart的相田爱与变成CureDiamond的六花并肩作战， 爱双手形成爱心手势对准了Selfish Beast: “失去了爱的可怜球球们， 让我CureHeart夺回你们的心跳！”

看着那边的艾修，果然对方是一脸惊讶和呆滞。旁边的爱显得有些不好意思地解释道：“对不起，艾修，我们其实就是光之美少女了。”

“等等Heart，现在不是说这个的时候，敌人来了！”

受到提醒，爱迅速跳开，与六花避开了Selfish Beast的投弹攻击。重新落地后，她们在地面上留下了蛛网状的裂纹，小腿积聚的力量使她们几乎瞬间就冲到了Selfish Beast的面前。变身为光之美少女的两人展开了与Selfish Beast的激烈战斗。

少女挥动拳头和踢腿带起呼啸的破空声音，与怪物交战时威力十足，一拳一脚足以瞬间将建筑物吹飞。按常理来说人类绝对无法承受这样的力量，但光之美少女的变换状态让爱与六花细胳膊细腿的身体足以承受大炮轰炸般的力量，并且爆发出来的力量不输于怪物。

“居然是光之美少女的世界吗？ 我还以为我要被困在这特摄英雄的世界里了。”

亚修发出不可思议的声音，艾修在可爱“Q”声中继续调侃她。

“也就是说我这次要对付小女孩吗？ 看起来不太对劲啊。”

话语刚落，系统弹窗出现在他们面前，亚修根本不看内容就用手把它吹走了。

“我知道了，我只是抱怨一下，任务的事我会好好完成的。”

光之美少女与Selfish Beast的战斗还在继续，因为首次与其他两只Selfish Beast交战经验不足，爱与六花暂时处于下风。Selfish Beast投掷出激烈的球弹，打得她们狼狈不堪。

“自我的世界！”

恰巧，一个人类大小的球飞越光之美少女的防守，直向亚修与爱飞来。

“不好！”六花面色骤变，试图拦截却终究慢了一步。

“爱！艾修！”

眼看两个人就要被飞来的球打得飞出去，爱的脸庞瞬间被恐惧充溢。

眼见着足球迎面而来，亚修停下摇动满瓶的动作，用大拇指快速打开瓶盖。

[坦克]

抱着爱，亚修的手上出现了金属的光泽，他单手向上挡住了即将飞来的球。

光之美少女几乎要惊叫出声，但预想中的事情并没有发生。

伴随着刺耳的声音，高速旋转的球强行停在了亚修的手上，巨大的冲击力让亚修在脚底留下的轨道痕迹。随后，他用力一抬，将球高高抛向天空消失不见。

“艾修！ 这么厉害！”

这一幕确实惊呆了六花和爱。

“居然… 挡下来了！” 其中六花惊叹不已，因为Selfish Beast强大的力量让光之美少女无法想象竟有人用身体对抗Selfish Beast，更不用说将其攻击击落。

就连敌对阵线的干将伊拉都将视线投了过来。“这个人，是怎样的存在。”

“哇……啊！”

甩了甩手把满瓶递向哭闹不已的爱，亚修把她放在花坛旁，一步步向Selfish Beasts走去。

亚修切换出了自己的属性面板。

姓名：亚修

能力：万能适能者、昭和骑士的力量和跳跃力、R7因子

道具：危险扳机、钢铁坦克满瓶×1、齿轮封闭枪、黑暗进化者（已损坏）、修罗召唤器…..

[昭和骑士的力量和跳跃力]

赋予亚修使用昭和改造人之力和跳高能力的能力。先前能够抵抗并扔飞Selfish Beast，正是得益于这种能力与摇动钢铁坦克满瓶的效果相结合。

不过这项能力虽然能够弥平他与怪物之间的力量差异，但他毕竟是血肉之躯，即使擦到也会伤及性命。

因此，与怪物作战，变身所带来的保护是十分必要的。骑士或战队中，不变身就会在敌人攻击下受创的案例不胜枚举。

“没有合适的武器可以用了…” 表情微妙地在修罗召唤器栏位中停留了一会，亚修低声念道： “抽奖励卡。”

[正在进行抽奖]

[恭喜，获得“龙牙·卡片匣”！]

“不错，运气好。让我想想，就是这个卡盒吗。”

铭刻哑光龙头标志的黑色卡盒出现在亚修手中，侧身闪过一颗急速飞来的棒球，他举起手并对着旁边教学楼的镜子。

宛如风吹过镜子的神秘声响响起，镜中飞出几束光芒联合成一条银白色的腰带环绕在亚修身上。

“腰带！？”

看到这一幕的爱忍不住惊呼。因为她也感受到了一种熟悉的气息，像是曾在电视上看过的画面？

手放开抬起的卡盒，刚好落到平举在腰畔的手掌中心，借助地球引力的作用。

“Henshin！（变身！）”

话音刚落，他转动手腕将卡盒推入腰带插槽，数位黑色的人影形幻象飞向亚修，叠放于他身上，深邃黑暗的面具立刻覆盖全身。

Kamen Rider Ryuga，出现在光之美少女的世界。

“自我的世界！”

Selfish Beast不管你是光之美少女还是幪面骑士，戴着帽子的Selfish Beast挥舞着手中的球棒击向身前的Ryuga。

漆黑的Ryuga面对袭来的棒球没有丝毫惶恐，一个简单的转身躲过，以一个简单的直拳反击，带有[黑色龙召唤机]的拳头击中了Selfish Beast胸膛。还没有来及尖叫的Selfish Beast就被像真实的棒球一样被打得一路滚远。

“让你惹我烦，这是你的错。”

扭了扭脖子，感受着新变身形态带来的安心和舒适，亚修一步一步向Selfish Beast走去。
