With a smiling expression, Ash dug a few more spoons into his mouth.
Chapter 64 The agreed value
Ash, who was originally prepared to chew flavorless gum, discovered that he did taste it.
"Spicy...?"
"Well, I asked Rikka about the actual taste of Ash-sensei at the beginning. Combined with the way I saw you adding seasonings randomly, I guessed it!"
"Ash-sensei, it's not that you have a strange taste, but that your taste is too bland, right?"
"..."
Ash was silent for a while, almost acquiescing.
"So I made spicy food. The spicy taste is not the taste but the pain. Ash-sensei What do you think of this?"
So, is this a special dish for me?
During his past travels, someone had made special dishes for him.
For example, the best chef in the universe used legendary ingredients captured from who knows which planet and prepared Ash, a dish that is so delicious that even a person can taste it. At that time, it felt like a feast was opened in his mouth. Ash was so delicious that he almost chewed it on his tongue.
Aida Mana's cooking is naturally lagging behind those of these experts, but precisely because of this ordinaryness, it gives him a sense of peace of mind as if his mother cooked a home-cooked meal.
Although not moved to tears.
"I'll make it spicier next time."
"Well, if you still want to eat, come to Oink Tail Tei, I will cook it for you no matter how many times!"
But at least it's delicious and real.
"Pretty Cure, you win this time."
Seeing the scene of the girls cheering together, Ash swallowed the last spicy mouthful.
At least I don't have to say this against my will.
"Ha-we lost?!"
Regina, who had just woken up, was immediately hit. She didn't understand how she lost, and couldn't help but look at Ash. After all, he had just promised herself!
"I'm sorry, Master Princess, that's the fact. When you are ready, there will always be things that are out of your control."
Ash shrugged quite innocently, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Although the development of things is out of your control, in fact it has always been under my control, so after all rounding, things are still proceeding as usual. Princess, what do you think of this explanation?
Of course, the latter sentence cannot be said.
"Okay Regina, we won, now is it time to return Royal Jewels to us?"
"But..."
After hearing Mana's words, she still wanted to abide by the agreement with the other party, so Regina took out the last Royal Jewels, but the more she looked at the gem, the more reluctant she was to part with it, and the less she wanted to give it to the other party.
"I really want it..."
She instinctively felt that this should be something extremely important to her, and instinctively did not want to hand it over to anyone else. But in the face of her wanting to repent, Rikka and the others couldn't bear it.
"We clearly know that the game with you must be full of traps, but we still compete because we believe in you!"
"You seem to be betraying this trust?"
"No..."
After also waking up from a coma and inexplicably losing a memory, Ira now felt palpitations for some reason when he saw Ash. Upset and depressed, he decided to perform an operation to fan the flames after seeing the wavering and entangled emotions on Regina's face at this time.
"It's a promise. If you don't want to abide by it, wouldn't it be better to break it?"
"Can it be broken?"
"Just grab what you want, and kill anyone who gets in the way! And you are the daughter of His Majesty King of Jikochu."
Yes, I am Princess Regina of Selfish Organization. Since it is what I want, I don't care what other people think!
"Really, if you teach others badly like this, the novelist will be so angry that Flame Burning."
Just when Regina's thoughts were quietly drifting, Ash silently took out his card box from his pocket and stood up.
"Regina, do you really think it's okay to break such a promise?"
"How to say?"
"If you do this, not only will you completely betray their trust and make others sad for you, but also, Mr. Princess, didn't you just want to be friends with them not long ago?"
Hearing Ash's words, Regina did see vague worry in their eyes. Even if they are now in a hostile position, the girls' mood has not changed.
"But, I am obviously the daughter of King of Jikochu who plans to invade the world, but I want to become friends with Pretty Cure. Isn't this strange in itself?"
"Ha, the son of a murderer must also be a murderer. Who decides this kind of thing?" Ash opened his arms exaggeratedly, and finally pointed at the person on the other side. "As for friends, as long as both parties are willing, they can transcend races, planets, and worlds. Anyone in the world can be friends!"
"That's right, Regina, please change back to your original self!"
Hearing Ash's words and the call of love, Regina's originally wavering heart began to shake violently.
"You can only decide your own path. The most important thing is, Regina, what do you think?"
I, I want to be friends with Mana and the others!
Seeing Regina showing obvious hesitation because of his words, Ash showed a satisfied smile on his lips.
There are always some people who like to watch, and even act as the devil's promoter behind the scenes, making people who are originally as noble as angels gradually move into the dark abyss and become tainted with ugliness. They call this the appreciation of evil.
Ash completely scorns this kind of thing, because the gameplay he likes is completely opposite to it.
Ha, this feeling of leading others to abandon darkness and turn to light, no matter how many times, he finds it super fun!
"You, an outsider, don't point fingers here——"
"Did I let you talk?"
Ira was shouted back before he could finish the second half of his sentence. He didn't know when the palms on his shoulders began to close together and exert force like a hydraulic press. Ira, who felt his bones creaking, was sweating on the top of his head and almost screamed.
"The value of an agreement varies from person to person. It may be lighter than a feather, or it may be as heavy as Mount Tai. Regina, how much do you think your agreement is worth?"
"I, I don't know..."
Seeing Regina's erratic eyes, Ash decided to put the last straw.
He raised his hand and threw his card box away without hesitation.
"Okay."
Under everyone's gaze, the black card box traced a trajectory in the air, and finally landed on the hand of the lover who hurriedly reached out to catch it. She subconsciously exclaimed when she saw the card box in her hand.
"Ash-sensei?!"
The ordinary-looking dark card box seemed to exude Banjou heat in Ai's hands. He carefully held this "hot potato" in his arms. The girl raised her head and looked at Ash in disbelief.
Chapter 65
Why can you do it so decisively?
"In the end, it's just a box for cards. It's no big deal."
Hearing what Ash said, Ai Dun felt that the card box in his hand was even more valuable.
"My promise is still worth some money, so I fulfilled my promise."
"Regina, do you want to come together?"
Hearing these words, the bright red in Master Princess's eyes finally faded and turned back to her original aquamarine-like blue. She closed her eyes and made up her mind to throw away the piece of Royal Jewels.
"Thank you, Regina!"
"I... I just kept my agreement with you!"
Seeing the surprised and happy faces of Pretty Cure, and seeing the admiring eyes of the men around them, Regina suddenly felt that while he had lost a lot of things, he seemed to have gained more!
As expected, the five gems gathered together caused a strange phenomenon. There was some kind of mysterious attraction between them. After gathering together, they turned into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky and quickly flew to the other side of the earth.
"Ah, gem!"
Regina, who felt what happened, left first, and when Pretty Cures were about to leave the world created by Jikochu, they accidentally glanced back and saw something bad.
Mammo and Ira stopped in front of Ash. The smiles on their lips were not friendly at all.
"Oh Duo, I want to go home and go to bed. Can you please get out of my way?"
Facing the overflowing malice in front of him, Ash narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he roughly guessed what the two men were planning to do, Ash Haas decided to be merciful and give them a chance.
"If you don't get out of the way, I won't show mercy."
"Stop being so arrogant, you guy!"
They saw with their own eyes that Ash really threw the card box to Pretty Cure in front of everyone. Even people like Ira and Ira somewhat admired him. At the same time, they also felt that it was time for them to take revenge and avenge their shame.
"Even if you know how to use strange props, without transformation, humans are just humans, and there is no way you can defeat us!"
Mammo, who also feels that she is okay again, is looking at people with her nostrils. She looks aloof now, but she has not forgotten the humiliation Ash left them before!
He actually took advantage of his ability and the support of Princess to steal my parfait several times, which made me afraid to eat snacks at the base. Did you know that women need desserts to support them?
Speaking of the history of being bullied, Ira also cried with blood and tears.
We are obviously at the same level, but he treats us like little brothers and orders me around. He even lets me go shopping for this and that! Do you know how hurtful it was for me to be stopped by the police while carrying a large bag and asked, "Child, where are your parents?"!
Not to mention that you even invited us out and beat us up just because you said something unpleasant behind our backs. You are a vindictive villain, and we will take revenge on you today!
Unaware that they were also the vengeful villains they said, the two men began to approach Ash with ferocious smiles.
I have to slap you in the face today, and your arms will be bruised!
"I'm talking about you." Ash, who was not afraid at all, couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead at the behavior of the two people. "I knew you might not be very smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
Not to mention anything else, even if I am really the kind of weakling who has no power before I transform, if you beat me, if I go back and report it to Princess, won't I still suffer the consequences of you?
Besides, do you really think those Pretty Cures next to you will just sit back and watch?
"What did you say!?"
My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt cannot! The two of them punched Ash angrily.
"Not good!"
The girls who sensed something was wrong did not hesitate for a second and hurriedly ran towards Ash to block the attack.
We want to protect Ash-sensei!
However, the fist that could knock ordinary people away was firmly held in Ash's hand.
"Nani——!?"
The two of them hurriedly tried to pull their hands back, but were horrified to find that they were caught in a vise on the workbench and wound up, unable to break free.
How is it possible - how can human beings have such power!
Suddenly, Ira remembered the scene when the other party beat Jikochu with his bare hands when they first met.
"Too light."
He gently turned Steel Tank Full Bottle between his fingers and put it back into his pocket. Ash listened to the two people's wails and slowly began to rotate his hands in reverse time.
How can we fight if we don't transform? The answer is that the physical body is the new form, let alone the guy who fights the final boss with the physical body. If someone forgets that he also has the Showa Cyborg punching power and jumping power, he will be very troubled.
"I feel an inexplicable sense of sight." Thinking of what happened for the first time, Ai and Rikka looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.
"A real fist should look like this!"
Just when the two of them were sweating on their foreheads and trying to break free with a burst of energy, the hands holding them suddenly let go, causing them to bump into each other at the same time. Before the two of them could curse, a pair of fists that roared like the wind were buried heavily in their abdomens.
"G-ouch...!"
In an instant, unspeakable pain passed directly from the stomach to the brain, completely interrupting thinking, and the stomach was turbulent. The two of them fell to their knees with painful expressions on their faces, and vomited out the bit of food they had just eaten in the form of a mosaic.
"What a waste."
The expressionless Ash took two steps back with disgust on his face to prevent them from spitting on him.
"You guy - ugh...!"
