As expected, two figures, one fat and one thin, were found at Ash, the highest floor nearby. Judging from the Evil Thought Energy reactions emanating from them, they must also be from Selfish Organization.
Is he a newcomer sent by King of Jikochu, but...
The thin one wearing a top hat and unshaven movements were voluptuous, looking like a shemale. The fat one was long enough to make people laugh, and his shark teeth seemed to be unable to be closed and exposed, making him extremely ugly.
"What does B look like?"
Ash did not hide his disgusted expression at all. The three people before Selfish Organization, including the one whose teeth were grinded, were all handsome men and beautiful women. However, the two newcomers directly lowered their appearance to a new level.
How about finding an opportunity to make these two later? With such a dangerous idea, Ash began to listen to their deliberations through the walls.
"Hey hey hey, did you see it? You just took the bait!"
"By the way, it's really selfish for human beings to want to obtain power beyond their own abilities."
As he expected, this matter was indeed a bad job caused by these two people.
But it's true, if you get power, you want to change your life. Everyone has this idea, right?
"If this false hero is exposed, the negative emotions of despair and the selfish desire for power will definitely give birth to the incredible Jikochu!"
"That's right, Ira who are in charge of this world are too inefficient, so let us teach them a lesson and tell them who is King of Jikochu's most useful subordinates!"
Ash smacked his lips, took out the card box, and was about to stab each of them in the back when something suddenly occurred to him.
No, I'm the villain now. Why should I take the initiative to stand on Pretty Cure's side? Wouldn't this be selling myself too cheaply?
"Sure enough, they were influenced by Mana and the others. It's all Mana's fault!"
Mana, who was walking on the snow-capped mountains, sneezed for no reason and almost fell off the cliff. Ash put away the card box again and chose a position that was higher and farther than the two people below, with a wider viewing angle and sat down on the Diaoyutai.
"That's right, I'm somewhat interested."
Didn't you comment so highly on Aida Mana and the others before that they seemed to be great?
"Sa, Madoka, let me see the fighting style of your senior Pretty Cure."
On the other side, the tall and thin new cadre selected a person who was slightly unhappy after being reminded to smoke but could only put out the cigarette butt. Selecting his selfish desire to continue smoking, he extracted Ling Shen Xin and made Jikochu.
"Indulge the darkness in your heart!"
Reciting strange spells, the blackened Ling Shen Xin turned into a cigarette butt Jikochu that was three stories high. The second-hand smoke from the burning cigarette butt above instantly filled the surrounding space, and passers-by were all coughing and screaming and running away.
"Self-centered~!"
"Ahem—it's Jikochu!"
Aguri, who was still arguing with Ruri about the strange orb, recognized the monster's true form at a glance. When he was about to pull Ruri away, he found that the other party was standing still.
"Ruri-chan?"
"Aguri, just be optimistic. As Pretty Cure, I am invincible. I can defeat this monster in one go!"
"Wait, don't do anything stupid!"
Liuli, whose self was infinitely inflated, heard what Aguri said. She shook off Aguri's hand and walked to the selfish monster with her hands on her hips.
"In self?"
"The good days of your monsters are over, it's up to me, the cure queen, to deal with you! Yeah--!"
The energy ball shot from Ruri's hand hit Jikochu, just like a drop of milk dripping into a clear river, it was assimilated and dissipated in an instant.
"Eh——?" The huge contrast made the girl look at her hand in disbelief. "How, how could it be?"
Haven't I become a hero?!
"Self-centered!"
Although she didn't cause any harm, Jikochu was angered by her and hit the girl with a fist made from shredded tobacco. The girl who was hit by the huge impact screamed and hit the seat on the side.
At this time, the girl looked at Jikochu who was walking towards her. She no longer had the same air as before, and her eyes were filled with tears of panic and fear.
How, how could it happen? I have obviously gained strength!
But why, why am I not a match for monsters at all? Is it because my power is not enough?
If I had more power...
Above the head, the cadres who saw that things were beginning to develop as they expected saw this scene, and the corners of their mouths curved wider and wider until they reached a scary angle.
"Desire - have more selfish thoughts for the sake of power!"
In this case, Jikochu, which was born out of desire for power, will definitely be so powerful that everyone will be afraid of it!
"It's really too much, to do this to a child."
Ash threw a dark gear high and landed it in the open card slot.
Chapter 73 Qualifications of a Hero
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!"
Ruri's tears couldn't be suppressed and kept pouring out, because this Jikochu was getting closer and closer to him.
"You, you, you, don't come near me again!"
Who comes, who comes to save me!
Just when she was thinking this, a figure appeared in front of her as expected.
"Give me a moment!"
Although she said something very outrageous to herself, she was still her friend, not to mention she was Pretty Cure, so she couldn't just sit idly by no matter what the situation was!
"You ugly perm! Come after me!"
"It's not a perm, it's a cigarette butt! I'm in trouble!"
Jikochu, who was incited to hate with a few words, changed the direction of attack and began to chase Aguri, who had escaped.
"Aguri..."
"Qi, what's going on, you little brat!"
The thin cadre Levi bit his handkerchief quite unhappily. The plan was going well, but suddenly a red-haired elementary school student came out to disrupt the situation for him.
"Heh, what's the big deal? Just let Jikochu beat her away, wouldn't it?"
With a disdainful laugh, the fat cadre Gula, who could never satisfy his hunger, tore off a piece of steel frame from the roof, stuffed it into his jagged mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.
"Yes, Jikochu, beat this brat away!"
"Self-centered!"
Aguri, who was running away in a hurry, was being chased and jumped up and down. It was impossible for her to guide it to a crowded place, so she could only try to run into an uninhabited alley. However, the surrounding buildings were The front of Jikochu was as loose as a makeshift Lelo building block. The role as an obstacle only lasted for a moment before it was easily pushed over. Aguri was so frightened that he could only protect his head and began to run away even more desperately.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid. After all, she could no longer transform. Without the protection of her battle suit, this primary school student's body would probably be unable to stand up again if she was even scratched or even suffered incidental AOE damage from the environment.
But...
Precure for one day, Precure for life!
Looking back in the direction of Ruri, Aguri strengthened his determination.
"The way I fight now is-"
Run away with all your strength!
On the other side, Sasaki Ruri finally recovered from his fear. His back was not injured because of the protective gear, but the pain could not stop coming.
The surrounding environment was in a mess due to the raging Jikochu, and passers-by had already fled and disappeared. Now that she finally recovered and thought calmly, she realized how embarrassing her failure was, and the person who saved her was Aguri, who was very unhappy with her.
"It's my fault..."
A huge sense of guilt and regret quickly filled the girl's heart. She regretted that she was so arrogant. If she had obeyed and escaped earlier, Aguri wouldn't have had to help her lure away the monster.
"Aguri-chan—it's all my fault!"
If there is something wrong with Aguri, I... what should I do...?
The girl knelt on the ground and bit her lips. Her tears could not stop rolling into the dust drop by drop. The hand holding the orb looked a little pale due to excessive exertion.
Why, why! Why can't I defeat that monster even though I have the power?
I want to have the power to protect Aguri!
"Yes, I crave more power!"
An unknown voice rang in her ears, and the girl looked around hurriedly, but there was no one there.
Is... is it an illusion?
"You don't want power, then desire it even more! As long as you have power, you can do anything!"
Power... if I had more power, I could defeat that monster!
Following the guidance of the strange voice, bursts of black energy seeped out from the glass ball in his hand and began to envelope the girl. Ruri's originally bright eyes gradually began to lose color.
"That's right, only power!"
"You only need to use your power for yourself!"
Under the double temptation of words and spirit, more dark aura began to infect Ruri. The two cadres behind the scenes, one fat and one thin, let out an unpleasant laugh like they had stolen a chicken.
"Yes, that's it. This Ling Shen Xin, which was originally towards the light but is now gradually turning dark, is great! Indulge yourself, the black in your heart - who is it!"
When the plan was reaching a critical step, when they were about to harvest the perfectly cultivated fruits, crisp footsteps came from the alley behind the girl.
Who, who dares to disturb my perfect plan!
The strong wind blew through the man's black leather jacket, taking away a hint of heat. The small chains hanging at the hem often whirred when they collided with each other. With his hands in his pockets and only half a pair of gloves exposed, he walked indifferently to Ruri.
The person who came was none other than Ash. He looked at the girl kneeling on the ground and finally continued the previous sentence.
"Indeed, if most people have power, most of them will only use it for themselves to make themselves happy."
"But -" Staring at Ruri, Ash turned his eyes, showing some contempt. "If you call yourself Pretty Cure, that's totally unacceptable."
"You don't have the courage to fight, and you don't have the awareness to face a strong enemy. Even if you have stronger strength, you are not qualified to be a warrior."
Although they are often said to be immature when they go against Precure, they still have the awareness to fight and be wounded. In fact, as long as they take this step, they can be regarded as true warriors.
But the little girl in front of me is determined to die.
"I... can't I?"
"No."
"Woo..."
The huge blow of being denied almost made her unable to recover. Seeing her spirit and expression becoming even more sad, Ash continued.
"You said you want to be a hero, so what is a hero to you?"
"Hey... Hero, isn't the hero Pretty Cure?"
Ruri stopped crying when he heard this question. He wiped away his tears and answered the question hesitantly.
"It's not wrong, but it's not entirely right. A hero is never just someone who defeats evil people head-on. For example, for you, isn't your father your hero?"
In fact, as long as there is an eye that dares to look, there are heroes everywhere in the world.
"What matters is, what do you want to do and what can you do?"
"What... what can I do?"
Hearing this, Ruri thought of Aguri who rushed out to protect him without hesitation and preached to those naughty students when he was crying.
She is still a primary school student, but she can stand up, and it is the same this time! Aguri She is also her own hero!
Ruri, who instantly figured it out, regained his clear eyes. The girl buried her head and rushed out of the barrier of dark mist. She clutched the orb and ran towards the place where Aguri left without hesitation.
"You guy-!"
There were two sounds of landing from behind, one large and one small. As expected, two cadres with angry faces were walking towards him step by step.
Ash noticed that the other party was about to burn out of his eyes and wanted to eat him with anger, but he just said hello lightly,
"Hello, I hope you will like this meeting gift."
