Arisu and others sitting behind the stone nearby couldn't help but cover their sobbing mouths at this time, and transparent water droplets fell on the ground from their fingers.
Especially Rikka, her tears had blurred her lenses, and the inexplicable pain in her heart and sore eyes made her almost unable to control herself.
Does she feel uncomfortable when she sees Mana being friendly with other people as before, or is it actually another person she is jealous of?
She couldn't understand this kind of thing anymore.
"Is this how you... have been fighting alone?"
Like this, living in a lonely world, repeating the fate of drifting in the wind?
"I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I'm going, probably."
So why, why should it continue like this! Why don't you tell us this kind of thing?
What are you doing all this for?
"For what... I don't know, it's just that I feel I have to do it."
At least the system definitely knows, but it won't tell him, and he won't ask him.
"So that means it's not the first time you've sought death like this, right?"
"Why! Why should we give up hope like this? Why don't we try hard——"
Looking at the indifferent smile on Ash's face, Ai, whose voice was choked with sobs, couldn't ask any more questions.
"I tried."
"Stretch out your hand hard, but even if you catch it, it will still turn into dust."
"If dreams are destined to die, then I don't need them anymore."
The girl's slender and gentle fingers slowly penetrated into the dark broken hair, and she gently held him in her arms with motherly tenderness. When she felt the warm breath on her chest, her sad tears wetted her hair.
"Sorry, sorry..."
"You don't need to apologize to me. I'm a bad person, and you have nothing to apologize to me for."
In the past, Aida Mana once said to himself that the two of them are actually very similar people.
Ash has his own way of doing things. Needless to say, the same goes for love in the past. He uses his own will to become friends with strangers and even enemies regardless of everything. In the process, he hurts those who really care about him without noticing it. It is the same self-centeredness.
To some extent, the two are very similar, and Ai has been looking forward to mutual understanding with him.
However, now that the two finally understand each other, Aida Mana feels regretful.
Her heart was filled with endless sadness and guilt.
The movements in his arms became a little tighter.
"Ash-sensei, please, please never let this happen again."
Chapter 157 Ash is dead?
"Ash!"
Leaving Mirror World, Ash walked straight in the opposite direction until the voice of Makoto behind him called him to stop.
The redness at the corners of his eyes still hadn't subsided. To calm down his mood, Makoto loudly asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"You have done so many things, where are you going now, and what will happen to the Jikochu Progenitor in your body?"
With his back to everyone, Ash replied without looking back.
"Thanks to Mana, that guy has escaped."
After hearing this, everyone looked happy and felt relieved, but Ash continued to say something that interrupted their joy.
"I have fought with my own will so far, and I have no intention of placing all the blame on it."
"Those self-centered desires are also my own, you can think so."
You are right to continue to treat me as your enemy.
Once again realizing how awkward this guy was, Rikka stepped forward to ask questions again.
"Then do you still plan to continue to mess around?"
"The opponent next time will no longer be you, DokiDoki! Pretty Cure, you will win this time."
"You defeated me Ash, so be proud of it!"
Next time my opponent... hehe, if you dare to do this to me, don't think that I am a good person with a broad mind.
"Next target... Humph!"
The hand on his chest slowly tightened. Just as he was about to go home directly, a smiling pink figure stopped in front of him in time.
"Ash-sensei~"
Ash turned his head without saying a word, and like a butterfly circling around a person, Ai turned to him with a smile.
"What do you want to do this time?"
"You've obviously gone through so much, Ash-sensei, you're just too raw!"
Now Ash doesn't want to see her, either because he's afraid, or simply... doesn't want to see her.
"Ash, you are no longer alone."
Ai pulled her friend together and walked to Ash.
"Everyone thinks so too, right?"
"I have never hated Ash." The eldest lady who gave an elegant chuckle was Yotsuba Arisu. "But I won't allow you to die to pay off your debt again. In that case, I will look down on you from the bottom of my heart."
This kind of thing is too worrying, isn't it?
"Pretty Cure's five major oaths!" It was Madoka Aguri who solemnly opened his palms and read his thoughts. "Secondly, love is for giving! Thirdly, love is for protecting each other!"
"As long as you can do it, I will approve you."
And, I think I have fulfilled my previous agreement with you.
"You're a guy who always hides what you have to say. Because of you, our relationship, especially with Mana, has been messed up." It was Secretary Hishikawa Rikka who pushed up her glasses helplessly, but she also smiled afterwards. "But because of your relationship, Mana also understands his own problems and has grown up, so I will forgive you for the time being, but if you continue to be scornful of me, I will definitely be really angry!"
"Ah~Rikka, don't say so much in front of everyone, save some face for me!"
Feeling ashamed, Ai quickly begged Rikka for mercy, but this time, the plea that was very useful in the past hit a wall with Rikka.
"No, after all, if I'm not serious, Mana won't seriously correct it!"
"Why is this, Rikka is too strict..."
"..."
While the rest of the companions were playing tricks, the one who remained silent was Kenzaki Makoto.
"I don't want to forgive you." Facing Ash seriously, Makoto's tone was slightly cold. "I can't forget those bastard things you did, and what you did to me..." As he spoke, Makoto's cheeks turned red with anger, and he looked vaguely cute.
"Unless you apologize, I will never forgive you!"
"Alas——" Ash sighed.
You have said everything you can say, what else can I say?
"I'm sorry."
Makoto was stunned on the spot, she could hardly believe her ears.
This guy actually apologized so decisively? Could it be that he has really changed, or that I actually misjudged him before...
"I'm sorry, it was indeed my fault, but I am still your father, don't forget it."
"Ash! ki☆sa☆maaaaaa☆!"
"Well, Makoto, calm down, calm down!"
Ai hurriedly hugged Makoto from behind and hit her head with Heart Arrow, then went berserk Makoto. After coaxing her back, he smiled and extended his hand to Ash for the third time.
"Ash, once again, be friends with me!"
"Now, haven't you personally experienced what kind of person I am, and are you still planning to be friends with me?"
"I know. Like Makoto, I can't forgive Ash-sensei like this." Ai said and shook his head, but still didn't intend to change his mind. "But because of this, I want to be friends with you even more. I accept your twisted personality. This is a true friend." "Hmph." Ash sneered and stretched out his hand.
You heroes always have something in common.
"If you are not afraid..."
Just when the two hands were about to overlap, Ash's hand suddenly slipped past Mana and fell downwards.
Ash and his whole body also fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Ya...Ash!"
Everyone rushed over in a hurry and helped him up. In the panic, they came to an even more shocking news.
Ash, dead!?
"Who is dead!"
Ash, who was chatting with someone in his sleep, said goodbye to his friend, looked at the screen attached to his face, kicked off the quilt and sat up straight.
[Because of the miracle that happened to you, I restarted you for testing. ]
"What the hell is restarting? Am I just trying to fix the problem?" Ash couldn't help but subconsciously complained after hearing this.
[You are neither an android nor a machine, you are a pure human being. ]
"Ha, can you still joke?"
Ash Suddenly felt that this old friend might be more interesting than he knew.
He is truly a partner that he trusts 100%.
"So, what's the result?"
[Dark Echo, which was originally in your body and was encouraged to become Hyper, has retracted deep into its depths, and its impact on you has been minimized. ]
"What does it mean?"
Ash vaguely felt that something terrible had happened.
[Even if it doesn't affect the essence, your body is healed. ]
[This may be the magical characteristic of Precure, a legendary warrior known as a healer. Even "Full Moon Beam" of similar nature in the past could not do such a thing. ]
[Normally at this time, you would have been unable to continue, so this situation is undoubtedly a miracle. ]
{In the world of precure, this choice is really the right one! }
[precure, the best! ]
Ash can even see emotional changes from the words on the screen.
"That's what I mean."
Can I live on in this world without dying?
Ash looked down at his palm, opened it as hard as he could, and then squeezed it tightly. It was obviously the most powerful action, but it seemed so unreal at this moment.
But is this good? I shouldn't do it...
[It's up to you Ash to decide what you want to do. ]
[Living truly like this, perhaps, is your real way of survival. ]
"I..."
"I...!"
Ash Pinch your palms tightly.
"I want to... survive."
