"My heart... is so painful..."
The conflict between the two emotions in her heart made her close her eyes in pain, and the girl couldn't help but cover her heart.
"Since you want to believe what she says, then just do what you want to do."
The man's words rang in his mind at the right time. After a while, Regina opened his eyes and finally determined what he should do now.
"Dad, don't take action against the human world!"
She shouted her sincerity to her father in front of everyone, regardless of the outcome.
The two cadres next to him were also stunned. Their eyes were surprised, gloating, and also a little sad.
"Who do you think you are talking to? You are no longer my daughter!"
King of Jikochu was furious when he heard Regina's words, and angrily fired a thunderbolt that hit Regina's position.
Regina raised his head and stared blankly at Tianlei. He was not frightened or evasive, but just watched all this happen with dull eyes.
Father, is this your choice? Maybe I really took it for granted. It was probably just wishful thinking for a being like her in the darkness to want to be friends with humans like Mana.
I'm really a fool...
"Regina——!"
A familiar roar awakened the girl's spirit. Cure Heart flew over from the side faster than the sky thunder and threw Regina to the ground.
The thunder blasted out a large crystallized crater where Regina was, and there was hot magma under the shattered floor. Ai listened to the deafening loud noise behind him with lingering fear, and held Regina firmly under his body.
"Mana... why does Mana appear here?"
"Ash told us your location. If that's the case, we can't just sit idly by!"
"Mana!"
The other three Pretty Cure followed closely behind, and they protected Regina in the middle.
"This time it is up to us Pretty Cure to protect Regina!"
Ai showed her signature smile to Regina, whose eyes were shining with tears. But after hearing Ai's words and thinking of everyone's kindness to her, Princess could no longer suppress the flow of tears.
"Ash...Mana, everyone, you are really idiots! But, I have also become an idiot——"
At this time, Regina finally determined what the excitement in her heart was every time she loved someone and was kind to her. It was not pain, but happiness, a feeling called "love"!
"Damn Pretty Cure, are you all here?!"
The expressions of the two cadres changed abnormally. They didn't expect that the Pretty Cure people could find this place in advance. In other words, there was an insider. As for who the insider was, it was obvious.
Ash, who kept jumping between the rooftops and quietly approached everyone, looked unhappy when he saw King of Jikochu's behavior becoming more and more excessive.
"This is not okay!"
A gear was thrown up, and five weapons turned into five rays of light and gathered in his hand in a lion's roar.
"Today is the end of Pretty Cure - what!"
Ai, who was squatting on the ground, called out Heart Arrow. While she was calculating in her mind when to shoot King of Jikochu with an arrow, a sudden change happened behind her to complete the task for her. I saw a huge lightsaber soaring straight into the sky, carrying the will of man and the fury of nature, cutting through the wind, water, and clouds along the way, pointing directly at King of Jikochu!
"[Poxie Hundred Beast Sword]!"
"King of Jikochu Your Highness!"
The two cadres were frightened and screamed. King of Jikochu had not expected this thing. He was so frightened that he quickly built a protective shield. However, his strength was very weak after being sealed, and the protective shield that withstood the huge lightsaber was being consumed violently.
At this moment, a calm male voice broke the last straw.
"Evil Qi, Begone."
The protective shield shattered in response, and Poxie Hundred Beast Sword, which contained the power of righteousness, chopped on King of Jikochu's shoulder. King of Jikochu was severely damaged. Along with the roaring explosion, there was a huge word "bark".
"Hahahahahahaha——!"
The familiar and hearty voice hovered over everyone's heads. Now, no matter whether it was Pretty Cure or Selfish Organization, they couldn't help but look up to look for that person.
"This - this voice is?!" People who were familiar with this voice, Precure and the villains, showed joy and horror. Only King of Jikochu, who didn't recognize it and had another knife stolen, let out an incompetent and furious voice.
"Who is it? Who is laughing! Whoever dares to sneak attack me, come out!"
On the Poker Kingdom tallest building near here, a figure carrying a giant sword slowly walked out from the roof to the edge. Poker Kingdom, which had been shrouded in dark clouds, also rarely saw a ray of sunlight, shining right on him through the gaps between the clouds. The backlight from behind completely covered his front in shadow.
"Anger and sorrow will produce fighting and destruction, but understanding and caring for each other will produce happy feelings. This feeling will overcome destruction and struggle, and the miracles it triggers can transcend all obstacles."
"People call it [love]."
"Who are you, this guy!?"
With his back to the sun, Ash, who held his figure as large as Mugen, threw away the sword that was beginning to fade away on his shoulders, spread his arms and jumped from the top of the building.
"You have no right to know my name!"
"Henshin!"
Chapter 82 Next is my stage
Now, the righteous Pretty Cure and the evil Selfish Organization are gathered together, plus Ash, the 25-year-old who dances on both sides.
It looked like he was about to finally return to the decisive battle.
"Damn it, it's you again————!"
The nightmare that Ash left them was bad enough. Ira and Mammo almost didn't need to greet King of Jikochu, but they took the initiative to attack Ash with abnormal expressions on their faces.
Countless dark rays of light shot towards Ash in mid-air, but he was too lazy to pay attention to these attacks that just passed him by. A series of barrages only left burning traces on the tracks falling on the building behind him.
The armor Phantom in the mirror merged with Ash in mid-air. He raised his legs and kicked away two rays. Ash put his hands on his chest and walked towards the two cadres who became more frightened the closer they got. Their legs were shaking like chaff. Then each of them fell to the ground in a big competition [Palm Strike].
"Ash-sensei!"
"Ash!"
"You are indeed here!"
The girls surrounded him in surprise. Because of his information, the girls successfully found the ice sculpture Princess and rescued Regina. The gratitude in their eyes almost made them worship him as a hero.
Ash quickly found the love of the central figure among the girls. Just when the girl raised her head proudly, thinking that she would be praised, Ash was poured cold water on her head.
"Mana, you idiot."
Aida Mana's eyes widened, his innocent eyes filled with grievances. "Why are you blaming me all of a sudden? Isn't it obvious that you have done a good job?"
"Who am I? Am I your supporter or your boyfriend, and you just believe me like that? Have you never thought about the possibility that what I told is a lie, and it was a trap specially set by Pretty Cure?"
"Ah." Ai really didn't expect this. In fact, everyone including her chose to believe Ash. Although Qiao couldn't trust this man, he believed in Pretty Cure's judgment.
"But, Ash-sensei can't lie, right?"
"This and this are two different things!" Ash slapped Aida Mana on the forehead with a paper fan he took out from nowhere, feeling quite resentful that iron cannot become steel. "If I really wanted to, I wouldn't have to do anything special. You'd all be tied up and sent to my bed to warm the bed."
"Ash-sensei, H!"
"I'm not going too far, remember? And you told me, there is magma below. You were so reckless earlier and asked who to save you if you fell. None of you can fly."
"No problem. If I fall, I will hold Regina and climb up the wall. This kind of thing is a piece of cake for the president of Daibei Junior High School!"
When Ai was talking about it, she still had a completely unreflective "I'm so amazing" look. Ash couldn't help but hit her head with a paper fan when she saw it. Ai wanted to stop it but couldn't.
"Idiot, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Student Council President's title!"
"Don't hit my head, it hurts!"
Inexplicably, like primary school students being taught a lesson by a teacher, all the Pretty Cures could only lower their heads and accept it humbly.
King of Jikochu, who was almost knocked out of his soul by a shot of Evil Qi, Begone, finally recovered. Although he was sealed and unable to move, he still expressed his anger by letting out a roar that could make ordinary people crazy.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you leave quickly?"
The girls who were reminded by Ash quickly took action. Makoto pushed away the embarrassed Qiao and picked up the ice cubes containing Princess. Ai and Arisu guarded Regina and were about to leave, but at this time they all thought of Ash and quickly turned back.
"But in this case, what will Ash-sensei do?"
"Ha, you are still worried about me. I can come and leave this kind of place whenever I want?" Ash is telling the truth. He who has mastered Mirror World's time travel method cannot beat King of Jikochu, and King of Jikochu cannot stop him.
"Now you are here to hinder my solo stage show!"
Next, this is my stage!
Before Pretty Cure could continue to speak, King of Jikochu couldn't bear it any longer. He channeled part of his energy and injected it into a Jikochu. The spider Jikochu's body expanded rapidly. Under the remote control of King of Jikochu, its strength was even stronger than the two shameful cadres.
"Are you this human confused Regina?! You dare to stop me, I will tear you into pieces!"
"Hey, don't talk like I'm some bastard who took away your daughter."
King of Jikochu had no intention of confronting him. Jikochu sprayed out a large area of spider silk to tie Regina and Ash together. When Ash was about to break away, he heard the muffled sound of Regina behind him. It seemed that if he used too much force, he would hurt her.
"Regina, Ash!"
"Don't come over!" Ash's voice stopped the other girls. "You will only get stuck by the spider threads if you come here, so don't cause trouble!"
"Just go and do your thing!"
When the girl heard this, she took a deep breath and nodded heavily to Ash.
"Regina please!"
The girls chose to follow Ash's instructions. Even though they had just been told that, the girls still chose to believe him.
"Ash... Sorry..."
Regina, who was tied together, suddenly whispered to Ash.
"Why are you apologizing?"
"My power is completely gone now, and I no longer have the Evil Thought Energy that Ash wanted."
"What, that's all you want to say?" Ash sighed. "You have nothing to do with me, but I do owe you a little."
Bringing up the system panel, the collection level of Dark Echo shown above has been completed more than half, far exceeding the efficiency of most previous worlds. It can only be said that it is good to have someone to help.
It gave him so many benefits, but never gave him any difficult tasks. In Ash's eyes, this experience in Pretty Cure's world was almost the same as playing, but it was still the kind of fun he had.
So much so that Ash felt a little uneasy about whether his conscience still existed.
"But, I can't help Ash anymore..."
"Really, you are the evil Princess. It would be in line with your status to be more willful."
Master Princess, who has no evil intentions at all, no wonder he was turned against her so quickly by Mana.
"Regina——!"
King of Jikochu, who seemed to be in a rage, controlled the mutated Jikochu and approached them step by step.
"Regina, you said you can't help me with this anymore, but that's not true. Now you have something that can help me."
"Hey, what is it?"
"Pull that card out for me."
Regina, who seemed to understand, pulled the spider silk in his hand with some difficulty, put it on Ash's card box, and pulled out the card with a buzzer.
The card in Regina's hand is a golden wing, with red flames burning behind the wings. The image of the card was projected into reality at the same time. Pillars of fire shot out from all around Ash, burning all the spider threads in an instant. The wall formed by the flames also separated them from King of Jikochu.
Chapter 83: Survival·Fire
"Ash, thank you for really coming to help me!"
Regina was so moved that he smiled like a good boy towards Ash, which made Ash a little uncomfortable.
It's really strange. Princess, who has always been unruly and willful, suddenly becomes nice to himself.
It feels really strange.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to fight."
King of Jikochu on the other side became incompetent and furious. The Jikochu he controlled was unable to break through the flame barrier for a while. If he had not been sealed, a human of this level could be defeated in an instant!
However, this formula is not valid, and King of Jikochu is actually well sealed.
