Thick ink clouds squeezed the sky, and the dull colors seemed to fall from the sky. Then it started to rain. From sparse small dots as big as beans, the raindrops gradually became denser, until the rain turned into a wanton stream and fell from the sky.
The sudden heavy rain made passers-by hold umbrellas or run home quickly to take shelter from the rain. The sounds of putting away clothes, holding umbrellas, and beating children on a rainy day were endless. For a while, only a lonely girl was left on the street walking in the heavy rain.
The rumbling thunder was deafening, and the silver light flying through the sky instantly illuminated Tsukikage Yuri's lost face.
In the past, as Pretty Cure, as [Cure moonlight] (Moonlight Angel), she and her partner elf "Kolon" guarded the city where she lived: Hope Flower City, from the invasion of the alien "Desert Apostles", until today...
She lost, defeated in the battle against her enemy.
Not only was the transformation prop "Heart Seed" crushed by the old enemy Dark Precure (Dark Precure), but even her close elf partner "Kron" died trying to save her, leaving him alone to save his life.
Her weak body slowly sat down against the wet corner, her soaked dress clinging to her body in a very uncomfortable posture, but she didn't feel anything.
I lost. Even Heart Seed was broken. I have lost the qualification to transform into Pretty Cure...
What to do next? Will there be a new Pretty Cure coming out to protect the world? If dad is not found, will mom still have to be alone?
And my klonta! An important person just left my side again...
"Kelong... wu..."
Thinking back to when she was Pretty Cure, she fought side by side with her partner, was guided by the other party, laughed and sad together, and the past scenes flashed before her eyes. Yuri wanted to cry loudly, but the rain falling from the roof kept washing her face and took away the tears.
The cold rain also took away the temperature of Yuri's body. His hands and feet were numb and as cold as ice. She had just experienced a life-and-death battle and was already extremely weak. The sudden downpour almost blew away her consciousness.
My body is so cold... so cold... I can't feel anything...
Am I going to die? Just like that, disappeared in the rain...
"I'm sorry..."
Tsukikage Yuri closed his eyes.
Then the rain stopped.
The rain was still pitter-pattering, but no more rain fell from above.
"Hey, hey—!"
Who is calling me... is it you?
The person swept aside the hair that was stuck to her face by the rain, revealing her haggard but beautiful true face.
The warmth on his face made Yuri open his eyes.
She saw a man in a black waiter's uniform standing in front of her, the umbrella in his hand shielding her from the falling rain. The man's dark eyes looked at the girl's pair of frustrated "amethysts".
"You..."
"If you fall asleep here, no one will care about you if you catch a cold."
It all started that day.
Destiny has begun.
[Notice]
The cold sand and dust cannot drown the strong and delicate flowers.
The devil's sweetness makes the leaves of the flower wither.
The devil in my heart has awakened, the flames of judgment are burning, and the place Ash is going to is still hell.
This is a town loved by legendary warriors: Hope Flower City.
But no matter whether it is hope or flowers, they are incompatible with Ash. He is still looking for the forgotten destiny on his journey.
Same today and tomorrow too.
If you can only find that moment of peace after fighting, then burst out with all your passion. If there is no storm, and the sun cannot shine with its glory after the rain, then Ash is the unintentional wind that sweeps away all the haze.
Is there a journey without regrets ahead? Will the arrow finally hit the target, or will it fall to the ground sadly? Like a tennis ball bouncing off the net, this is a realm known only to God.
However, what determines his fate is not the dice cast by God nor chance, but a girl who can't bear it. They will give the answer to the eternal riddle in the corridor of time.
Perhaps only withered and blooming flowers are the sharp arrows that shoot at the vital points of the gods.
No matter when or where, the warrior who forgets love is still loved by others.
Volume 2: [The flower of hell that never blooms]
Ash's heart has no land where flowers bloom.
Chapter 1 The day everything started to work officially
Hanasaki Rei had a strange dream tonight. It was no longer the tragic vision he had dreamed before becoming Pretty Cure, about the purple Pretty Cure being defeated by the black Dark Precure in battle, and the flowers on "Heart Tree" all withered in an instant.
It was in the endless darkness, with evil scarlet eyes staring at the lonely and helpless self. He wanted to escape but found that he was stuck in a huge net. He tried his best to break free but was stuck tighter by the net.
Just when she was at a loss, a dark red spider crawled out from the other end of the web. Spiders were originally extremely scary arthropods for girls, not to mention that this spider looked like it could swallow her Hanasaki Rei small size in one bite.
Lei was almost petrified. The spider was approaching her step by step. The huge shadow completely covered the helpless girl. She was like a prey in a hunter's trap, struggling desperately even if it was in vain.
"No, don't..."
"Who, who is coming -"
Who will save me!
"Whoa-!"
Waking up from her sleep, Lei grabbed the edge of the quilt and gasped loudly in shock.
"What's wrong Lei, I feel so sleepy..."
She was not the only one sleeping on the bed. As Pretty Cure's partner, the pink radish-like elf "Shiffre" heard Lei's scream, shook its petal-like tail, and flew into the air with Yuyu shaking.
Rubbing his round eyes, Shiffre, who was half-awake, saw the girl with her long cherry-colored hair spread in front of her, her hair spread out in front of her, and she suddenly woke up from her half-asleep state.
"G-ghost!"
"Ghost... Ghost!?" Hearing Shiffre's voice, Lei, who was also not very courageous, was also startled. She was originally nestled in the bed, and her soft soles instantly stiffened due to fright. In panic, she wanted to turn on the light in the room, but she bumped into the bedside table.
"Good... it hurts!"
"Hey, so Lei hit her head because of this."
On the way to school, the blue-haired girl who was walking side by side with Lei circled twice around Lei who hit her head. She was very curious and put her hand on the other person's head and couldn't help but touch it.
"That's it... it hurts so much, Erika, it hurts so much!"
With some embarrassment, Lei covered the swollen bump on her head, and looked at her friend with a slightly "resentful" look in her eyes.
Feeling the "resentment" of his friend, Kurumi Erika, who was overly energetic, apologized repeatedly in the name of haha.
"But Erika also dreamed about that dream."
The reason why Lei was so convinced was simple. Erika had the same dark circles on his eyes.
Lei guessed it right. After being reminded by her friend, when she thought of the big spider in her nightmare that scared her so much that she screamed and almost wet her pants, Erika's shoulders couldn't help shaking, and then she immediately straightened her chest and pretended not to care.
"Hmph, that was all just a dream. I am already the super powerful Pretty Cure. Not to mention a spider, even Spider Gagi, the cadre of Desert Apostles, I can knock him away in one go!"
"Erika said braggingly." When there was no one around, the blue and white carrot-like elf "Coffret" came out of the student's backpack and began to ridicule.
"Last time when Ming Ming kicked him, someone grabbed his foot and beat him while hanging."
"Ah, what are you talking about!" Unexpectedly, his partner knocked him down. Erika grabbed Coffret's ears and shook him. "How...Pretty Cure, how can you call it a beating? I fought bravely with him but still persisted despite being defeated. I will definitely beat him away next time!"
"Let go, it hurts so much!"
"No, who told you to talk nonsense!"
Seeing the daily bickering between the two naughty guys, one big and one small, Hanasaki Rei and Shiffre both giggled.
That's right, Hanasaki Rei and Kurumi Erika, they are not only students of the Private Meido Academy in Hope City, they actually have a secret identity that even their parents don't know.
When Desert Apostles attacks and attempts to change people's "Heart Flower" into "Desertrian" to destroy the world, they will, with the help of their partner elves, transform into Pretty Cure (precure) who protects Hope Flower City to protect the world!
The two people who took over the responsibility of Pretty Cure from the defeated Cure Moonlight are both comrades-in-arms and close friends in life. As the saying goes, "the two of them are Pretty Cure"!
"Ah, there's someone!"
Coffret, who was playing around, noticed the aura of others and quickly hid in the backpack with the other one. The girls also discovered that there was a new store on the roadside after school.
The girls curiously walked into the alley that seemed to be built overnight. Lei curiously looked at the five-color windmill inserted at the door of the store, and looked at the small signboard at the door of the store.
"Colorful..."
"Lei, this is no longer the case!" Erika patted Lei on the shoulder and pointed to the big sign hanging on the store door. "This is Na... R... Na."
"It's Nascita Cafe, which means birth in Italian."
"Really!" Erika, who was embarrassed by his limited knowledge, waved his hand and interrupted Lei's science popularization. "I'm not as smart as you Lei, so I'll just call you Nasta Café!"
"Transliteration..."
"Dingling~"
The door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and a man in a waiter's uniform walked out. His eyes were on Hanasaki Rei, who was startled and hid behind his friend with only his head exposed, and Erika, who was acting as a human shield.
"Buongiorno." It seemed that he was not too surprised. The black-haired man leaned forward slightly and greeted the two girls with impeccable etiquette.
"I am Ash, the store manager of this Nasta Café. I just moved here and opened this store recently. From the looks of it, you must be locals, so please give me some advice in the future."
"Oh, hello, I'm Kurumi Erika."
"Ah..." After staring at Ash's face for a while, Lei suddenly realized that he was talking to her, and she quickly bent over with her head pounding. "My, my, my name is Hanasaki Rei! I just moved to Hope City recently. I am currently studying in the second class with the Private Meido Academy. My favorite thing is flowers——"
"Lei——"
It wasn't until her friend whispered a reminder and poked her weak point with her arm that Lei realized what she had said before her face turned red and she closed her mouth.
"Are you two planning to have a meal, or come to my store for a signature drink..."
"No, no need, this fool and I were just passing by." Erika, who suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, pulled Lei, waved goodbye to Ash and walked in the direction of leaving.
"Then welcome your next visit."
Watching the two people leave, Ash rubbed his chin and raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Pretty Cure... If I remember correctly, he is the one who makes me happy."
Not long after, another lady came from the other end of the alley. Seeing the new visitor, Ash took off her apron and handed it to the person.
"Then Yuri, the rest of the time will be left to you. I'm going to find something that makes me happy."
Tsukikage Yuri, who was already used to it, took the apron and wrapped it around himself. Looking at Ash who was particularly happy today, he couldn't help but say.
"Obviously, as a store manager, I'm not interested in being lazy and having fun. I wish I could be more attentive to my work."
"What you said is wrong Yuri." Ash turned back to the girl and shook her negative index finger left and right. "Work is my interest, and interest is my job."
"Really?"
"Of course, has your brother Ash ever lied to you?"
Facing the strange light reflected when Yuri raised his glasses, Ash said unreasonably.
Lei was looking up at the sky along the way. She was distracted twice and three times and almost walked into the ditch. She didn't even respond to Erika's voice calling her name.
Seeing his friend's performance, Erika was stunned for a moment with a look of understanding on his face.
"What's wrong, Lei? Just by saying a few words to someone, you're already fantasizing about a sweet life with them. Or have you even thought about the name of your child?"
Erika The sudden remark in her ear immediately brought Lei out of her wandering fantasy. After hearing clearly what her friend said, Lei's face quickly turned red.
Sweet life with a handsome guy hehe~~——No! wrong! Lei, what are you thinking about? That's not right!
"It's just talent, there's no such thing! I'm just thinking about the sweet life and whatnot. Children, what are children? It's too early!"
Lei, whose face instantly turned red as a small apple, slurred her words and wanted to refute, but her appearance made the refutation seem very unconvincing.
"Erika, what weird things are you saying!"
"Because the store manager named Ash is a very handsome guy." Erika, who already understood it by heart, began to explain.
"After all, Lei has no resistance at all to handsome boys. After all, this is called love-making." Erika, who smiled evilly, poked Lei's cheeks, which were getting softer due to shyness, and continued to tease her friend. "The last time was Student Council President, right? I fell in love with the capable and handsome President Meidoin. But when I found out that the other person was not a boy but a girl, I was heartbroken on the spot. Hahahahaha, oh, it made me laugh to death!"
"Mo~~~~!" Lei, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, puffed her cheeks cutely and waved two soft fists to "hammer" her friend. "Erika, who always laughs at me, is the most annoying. I'll hit you, hit you!"
