"Of course, I won't forget it." Ash knocked Ai's little head, which became more and more coquettish. "Today is both Chinese Valentine's Day and your birthday. You are worthy of being born with overflowing love, so don't worry. This year's cake will be more luxurious than before. Call Rikka and the others over here, and we will celebrate you well——"
"No, no, no, no!" Ai suddenly threw herself into Ash's arms, shouting in an uncharacteristically coquettish tone that made Ash's heart soften. "In the past, no matter whether Ash was here or not, I always spent my birthday with Rikka and Arisu, but this year... I'm tired of it and don't want to do this anymore!"
So...
"Ash!"
"What are you doing?"
"Let's elope!"
"Huh?"
————The other side at this time————
"I used to say that this time has come, Mana said so slowly." In the Yotsuba Family's square-like backyard, Rikka in a cool dress and Arisu dressed as a doll sat together, enjoying afternoon tea while watching from time to time, waiting for the appearance of their companions.
"After all, Rikka also knows that they have always been required to have a healthy relationship, so at the juncture when they finally broke through this restriction, they may still be sweet and tired now."
"I hate..." Rikka took a sip of black tea with subtle eyes. "Arisu I hate it when you say that."
"You're not the only one I hate, Rikka. Ah, it's MakotoP here - hello!"
"No - it's not good!" Makoto, who is now a world-class idol, ran over panting, took off her hat and coat disguise that made her sweat dripping, and she said out of breath.
"Mana, Mana she——"
"Mana...Mana What happened!?"
Seeing Rikka and Arisu who were extremely nervous, Makoto took a deep breath.
"Mana She——let us go!
"Eh?! x2"
————Back to the perspective of Ash and Mana————
"What does elopement mean? Miss Mana."
Holding Ai's hand, Ash was speechless at what Ai said before.
"If you want to date me, just say so. I was almost ready to pack my luggage and put it on the Jumbo A underground."
I remembered that after I finished speaking, Ash immediately drove Jumbo A out of the ground, almost scaring the neighbors to death!
He drove out like this and almost got himself arrested. If he hadn't transformed into Mind Shot, this man would have taken him to the Moon.
"There is no way, this is the most accurate statement. "Holding Ash's hand, the girl who was completely immersed in the beautiful atmosphere of Chinese Valentine's Day leaned half of her body against the man. "In the past few months, I have been preparing for the exam, and Ash is also busy with Oink Tail Tei's affairs. It's been a long time since we went out alone for a date, right?"
Yes, it feels like it's been a long time since I've been with Ash!
"Indeed... but Rikka won't they be angry?"
"Hehe~" Ai smiled evilly and got into Ash's arms. "My usual helpfulness is really as tiring as you said, so if I let me be selfish for a while occasionally, Rikka they won't be angry~"
"Woooooooo~~~~~"
Hiding behind a building not far away, Makoto quickly covered the mouth of Rikka, who was crying, to prevent her from crying.
"Is it necessary to be so sad?"
"Makoto won't understand~~! "Rikka, whose face was full of grief and anger, kept pulling on her dress to vent her anger, so as not to cry loudly. "Mana is my friend who will be with me until I die. Ash is also the first person of the opposite sex that I care about and like for the first time in my life! You tell me whether I should cry or laugh when I see the two of them together!"
"Ara, although I also agree with Rikka, but neither Ash nor Mana belongs to Rikka. "Arisu, who has always been able to maintain his rationality, opened the folding fan in front of his face. "Ash and Mana are their own. They should be allowed to choose the person they like according to their own will. A mine character like Rikka is annoying."
"I hate it, I hate it! Anyway, that's the kind of person I am anyway. "As she grew up, Rikka, who gradually abandoned the elegance and heaviness of the past, simply gave up on herself. "Anyway, I am such a dark, jealous and greedy bad woman! I want both Mana and Ash!"
"Ara, if that's the case, why didn't Rikka try to intervene between them?"
"Because..."
Rikka followed the gazes of the other two people and looked at the two people walking together.
"If you go on a date, where would you like to go?"
"The quiet cafe seems good, but I also want to go to the aquarium to see dolphins. But there is a new movie released recently and I also want to..."
"Okay, let's all go then!"
"Hey, are you too greedy?"
"Why, are you satisfied with this level?"
Seeing the two people leaning together and laughing happily, Rikka's eyes gradually lost focus.
They look so happy, how can anyone think of breaking this happiness...
Today's date went very smoothly, it couldn't have gone any smoother.
The cafe gave them a free order for their 1,000th customer. Mana took a photo of Ash with the seals basking there. Ash even resisted going to watch the Leather Case War that was being shown and chose to watch a touching love movie with Ai. Of course, whether it was good or not is another matter.
When night came, Ai suddenly decided to ask Ash to wait for him while passing by a shop, and then disappeared near the entrance of the alley.
"Mana, so slow. "While Ash was complaining, a familiar voice quickly approached from behind.
"I kept you waiting! Hey hey."
When Ash looked at her, he was stunned, because the person standing in front of him was not Aida Mana, but his second favorite, Cure Heart, who was wearing a cute maid outfit.
"Although it's a little inconvenient to move around so I can't use it for fighting, it fits well... my eyes can see straight! Segui, here you go!"
The gift was packaged in a bow gift box and delivered to Ash.
"This is..." Ash sniffed and smelled something sweet. "Chocolate? In other words, it can be regarded as Valentine's Day, but Valentine's Day is not today."
"Hey, what should I say? If I don't leave it to you today, it will be too late. I feel like this!"
"Then this thing... hehe? "Ash looked at Cure Heart's blushing cheeks and began to want to tease her. "Is this chocolate Giri or Benming? The reason is that we haven't dated yet, right?"
"Eight, eighty! "The blushing pink Pretty Cure looked at the smiling Ash with embarrassment. "Then you confess your love again, tell me quickly, don't make me wait too long, you idiot!"
Ash strode closer, embraced Ai in his arms, and said what she wanted to hear in a voice that only she could hear.
Her face was so red that steam was about to burst out of her head, but she still endured the explosion of happiness that made her faint, and hugged Ash.
"I feel like I'm still not used to being next to you."
"However, I am very happy about everything today. Spending time with important people is the best. Girls like this the most, hehe~~"
Ash did not speak, but calmly stroked the smooth blond hair of Pretty Cure in his arms until she was trembling all over and the clothes on her chest were wet with tears.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Obviously, obviously!"
"What's wrong, Mana, I didn't have a seizure today? Why are you crying?"
"I know, knowing clearly is something that is impossible to forget..." Aida Mana or cure heart's cry-like voice was trembling at this time, gradually filled with Mugen's sadness. "It was wrong from the beginning. In such a happy life, everything is just as I thought, it's like it was arranged!"
"It wasn't until I transformed just now that I finally remembered that Ash...Kamen Rider Ryuga had already sacrificed his life to protect me..."
In Ash's arms, Aida Mana burst into tears.
"Mana..." The stupid Ash couldn't say a word to comfort her, and could only hug her harder.
"What should I do, Ash, I remembered everything. "Ai, with tears constantly flowing from the corners of his eyes, looked at him with eyes like an abandoned puppy. "We, we met other Pretty Cure. Although we had fun playing with everyone, we were attacked by new evil people."
"I seem to have passed out. It's obviously a time like this. I can't do it without being with everyone..."
But why, if it's just a dream, why don't I want to wake up!
This feeling... what is it and why is it?!
"So, Ash... please Ash, I want you to hold my hand and keep me. If you can always stay with me, I can live in such a beautiful world forever and even get the happiness I want..."
The feeling of saying such depressing words in person was never pleasant for Ai. He seemed to have lost all his strength and could only let Ash support his body.
"Love."
So, Ash's warm and broad hand grasped the small palm of Aida Mana.
Love at this time felt extremely at ease.
So warm... In this case, I can finally be with Ash...
"I'm talking to myself about what's over, stand up, love!"
The man's loud roar blew away all the weakness of love in an instant like a new wind!
"A... Xiu...?"
Forced to look at the other person, Ai saw on the man's face the same expression that was characteristic of Ash when she met him for the first time and also when she met him for the last time.
"Everyone has the power of happiness, but is this the reason for your compromise?!"
"This... I..."
Love opens its mouth and is speechless.
"Can this kind of small happiness make your life fulfilling?! If you give up here, everyone who believes in you, Rikka, Arisu, Makoto, Aguri, Regina, including me who is already dead, will all lose. Isn't this what you want to see!?"
"No matter how painful reality is, Pretty Cure will never compromise with false happiness. This is the hero I know, this is the Precure I know!"
"You have been fighting to win back the heart of everyone you love most, right? Then be with everyone who believes in you, with everyone you believe in! Fight!"
Never compromise!
Ash's voice echoed in her chest.
"Right... what I want to do..."
This is a story that starts with me!
"Ash, this is really a great dream. I am very happy for today's date!"
Ai wiped away her tears indiscriminately, and forced out a smile that was worse than crying, but it was this smile that made Ash feel the incomparable beauty that transcended everything.
"However, I am about to wake up from my dream."
Goodbye, Ash!
"Come on, Aida Mana."
"Come on, Cure heart!"
I heard his voice!
Ai suddenly sat up from his lying position, with a dazed look in his eyes as if he still hadn't woken up from his drowsiness.
"Mana, great Mana, you finally woke up! Everyone, everyone was knocked down by that person Xia Lu! Xia Lu...?"
In a daze, Elf Sharuru saw countless tears dripping from the corners of Ai's eyes and down her cheeks onto the girl's skirt.
"What's wrong, Xia Lu?"
"I had a very happy dream, Sharuru."
But there is a time to wake up from the dream.
Jogging all the way to the place in my memory, what stood in front of me was the enemy I loved to face. Under his feet was a Pretty Cure with a painful expression. He was wearing Kamen Rider armor that was different from Ash, and he was wearing a different transformation belt around his waist.
"Precure found out." He casually kicked away the purple-haired girl who screamed out of transformation after a heavy stamp on her feet, "Kamen Rider" and walked step by step towards Aida Mana, who showed his warrior eyes again. "Down."
"No, it is your ambition that will be knocked down!" I will do what you said, for everyone, for you! I will fight!
"Sharuru!"
Holding the Sharuru transformation mobile phone in her hand, Ai and the other two pink-haired girls around her shouted out her decisive transformation lines!
"Precure Love Link!"
"Overflowing love! Cure Heart!"

Today is destined to be an extraordinary night.
