[Creative Awards] Tough Squadron Glasses Ranger (Episode 5)
5. The Betraying Cutie Devil
Four warriors and a grotesque monster with a rabbit-like head were locked in a fierce battle in the wilderness. The monster, possessing powerful arms, called itself "Cutie Devil" and was tormenting the Glasses Rangers. However, the sturdy Glasses Rangers were fighting back with their respective special techniques, and the battle was about to enter its final stage.
Glasses Red called out in a loud voice.
"Now is the time! Let's unite our feelings to protect the peace of our vision."
At the signal of his voice, the four lined up side by side.
"Red, Pink, Black, Yellow, combine our four lights into the Justice Arrow!"
As the four shouted, four-colored lights shot from their respective glasses toward the heavens, beginning to transform into a golden arrow of light while spiraling like spun thread. However, with a soft fizzle, the pink light faded as if losing its power, and the other lights quietly converged in confusion.
"Are you afraid, Glasses Rangers?"
Cutie Devil taunted the Glasses Rangers.
"What's wrong, Pink?"
Red questioned Pink as if scolding her.
"That monster has sad eyes. Maybe she isn't a bad girl after all. That's why..."
After finishing her sentence, Pink quietly approached Cutie Devil.
"You with the sad eyes. Can you see this beautiful world, the things that are precious, clearly?"
As she spoke to Cutie Devil, she took off her own glasses and brought them close to Cutie Devil's eyes.
"W-what are you trying to do?"
Cutie Devil resisted in words and trembled, but as if drawn into Pink's eyes filled with compassion and enveloped by her kindness, she entrusted her body to Pink and allowed herself to have the glasses put on.
"T-this is the real world. To think I was going to destroy this beautiful world... what a terrible thing I was doing."
Cutie Devil collapsed to her knees and placed both hands on the ground. Tears overflowed from behind the glasses and were absorbed into the earth.
Pink crouched down and gently placed both hands on Cutie Devil's shoulders.
"Cutie with the sad eyes, let's fight together as a 'Warrior of Sorrow.' Let's fill your sad eyes with shining love."
"Me, a member of the Glasses Rangers? Is such a thing allowed? I was an evil monster, after all."
"The one sitting before me is no longer a monster. You are a warrior who has awakened to justice by wearing these glasses. Those glasses suit you, but let's consult the Doctor to have some made that fit you perfectly."
Pink smiled, and Cutie returned the smile.
"My name when I was human was 'Pokausai Ichiko.' I don't think my body, stained by evil, will ever return to normal, but now that I have regained my vision, I wonder if my heart can return to being human."
Before they knew it, Red, Black, and Yellow had returned to their human forms and were standing behind Pink. Everyone was wearing a gentle smile.
"Let's fight together, Poka-san. Even if your form remains as it is, you are a comrade who loves justice."
"Welcome, Cutie. Use your power for justice and for the Earth. As the fifth Glasses Ranger."
Yellow nodded at the words of Red and Black.

[Let me explain: today, because the Glasses Robot was under maintenance, the Glasses Rangers were secretly tasked with the mission of 'not letting the monster grow giant.' They succeeded in protecting the peace of vision while brilliantly conserving the Glasses Robot.]
