Chapter 194: Unknown Things Happening in an Unknown Place

Today, Ash was wearing sunglasses with a windbreaker vest, looking quite spirited and vibrant. The man rode a motorcycle with exceedingly extravagant flower decorations at the front, revving the throttle until he executed a dazzling skid stop in front of a mountain path with a long staircase, looking up at the dojo faintly visible above.

“This is the Wuki family’s dojo.”

Ash halted for a moment under the strange eyes of the dojo disciples, then picked up the SLR camera around his neck with the “Special Mission Team” logo on it. He took a photo of the distant dojo without hesitation and then turned away with no regrets to rev the motorcycle and leave.

“This is their school. I’m not new here.” Not being school hours, Ash, who stood alone at the gate, looked at the signboard reading “Mido Private Academy”. Adjusting the focus, he snapped a picture. “Although this was just an impromptu date, it was indeed enjoyable back then.”

Is it normal for me to seek evidence of my past life?

Kicking the stand aside, Ash rode off all alone at high speed today.

“Elven Tear, Erika’s fashion store. I didn’t visit often since it wasn’t to my taste.”

Ash pressed the shutter button.

“The Saki Flower Shop. Even though Lei brings flowers to decorate quite frequently, I don’t particularly care about flowers.”

Ash pressed the shutter again.

“A botanical garden? There are many types, but I can’t visit now. Could get caught by seniors and get a beating.”

Ash took a distant shot.

“The base of the Desert Apostle… Well, I don’t mind organizations with human touch.”

“Timons, you finally showed up! Come on, explain why Shabak and Dark Pretty Cure disappeared. You’re not — wait! Hey!”

Ash took a picture and immediately got ready to flee at the sight of the shocked Spider Gaki, who couldn’t react in time.

“This is the island where the final battle takes place. Tradition changed because of my existence?”

Ash took another photo.

“This is the central square of Hope City, so peaceful… It’s regrettable that there’s no one to appreciate my skills, but I rather enjoy living in this city without much thought.”

Ash pressed the shutter again.

“This is Nasta Café… It seems empty now.”

Ash lowered the camera from his face.

“And this is Eddie.”

Ash switched the camera function to a battle mode, pulling and pushing the camera, transforming it into an energy blaster.

“What do you…”

Eddie, clearly displeased with the energy blaster aimed at his head, looked at Ash, brimming with resentment through his eyes. “Didn’t you say you’re nice to little girls? Why treat me so badly?”

“Sorry~” Despite being insincere, Ash put the blaster back into the motorcycle side bag. “Because your something, time management… no, not SOUGO’s something — Temporal Administration?”

“I used to fight with your kind, which didn’t end well, but it’s not personal. I dislike all of you.”

Ash nodded, speaking honestly.

“Honestly, although your start was rough, your later changes were good. I actually like you.”

“Is that so?” Seeing him patting his shoulder casually as encouragement, Eddie had nothing more to say. “Thank you very much!”

“But you thanking me won’t mean any gain for me, so no thanks needed.”

“Oh… what have I done wrong to want to say goodbye to you so badly…” Eddy felt the weariness of Lei and the others and almost lost his strength. “I told you that I appeared in the Precure world because something massive called the Dark came into play, thus interrupting you.”

“Since your Kamen Rider friend took the target with him, my mission ends, so I’m leaving soon. I guess you should be glad to hear this, so I came to tell you.”

“Oh, glad to hear. It’d be great if the random intrusion role you are could just vanish…”

Continuing in a monotone, this comment made Ash more intrigued.

“How dare you! You treated me as a friend, yet you manipulated me, now mocking me so harshly!”

“No need to thank me twice.”

Stopping the bike alongside Eddie, Ash reflected on the intelligence shared.

Undoubtedly, the “friend” he mentioned was Kamen Rider Den-O, who left with an Infinite Ticket after aiding him. But they took the massive Dark? That sounds wrong since nobody talked about such a thing.

If the ‘massive Dark’ refers to the Infinite Ticket… Although useful, could this be exaggerated? Ash could find something more powerful to match this Darkness Resonance “Attractor” from his inventory.

Suddenly, an idea sparked in Ash’s mind like an electric spark.

“Do you mean they took the target? Yes, who knows why, taking a train away. Our team negotiated, still got no response.”

Where would Tatolus return with the Infinite Ticket? Of course, back to the 2007 version of the Kamen Rider Den-O world, taking the “massive Dark” along too?

Could something big happen in the Kamen Rider world?

“Everyone thinks it’s over. I also expect disciplinary action.” Ash’s train of thought got interrupted, but seeing Eddie’s vexed look eased his mood slightly.

“However, contrary to their thoughts, I feel this isn’t finished.”

“I think the true identity of this ‘massive Dark’ stands right before me.”

Stepping down, Ash parked the motorcycle. While his foot touched the ground, his narrowed eyes stared at Eddie.

With his right hand, mimicking a gunslinger’s move, he slowly reached into the motorcycle’s side bag.
