It hurts... It hurts so much... How am I going to go home and talk to Sister Tao and my parents...
"It's really a profound resentment." Ash echoed with a normal expression, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him.
"So, did you lose again?" Ash's words made the girl freeze. "Is this what the enemy did? Hey... it looks like it hurts."
Ash took the stool and lay his upper body on it, staring at Erika, who had a tearful cat head, until she turned her head away with an angry groan.
"If you want to laugh, just laugh..."
"Puff-" Seeing Erika, who always had an arrogant and smug face, now looked like a defeated kitten, Ash really couldn't help it, so he opened his eyes and laughed heartily on the spot.
"Hahahahahahaha——!"
"You -" Erika didn't expect that this person could actually laugh. She was so angry that she couldn't even curse her, and only big tears of grievance fell from the corners of her eyes. "You actually laughed at me, and you laughed so happily! I've obviously worked very hard to say..."
This store manager... is just as annoying as that Timons!
The sweet smell on the tip of her nose stopped Erika's worries. She looked up and saw a huge glass of fruit cream luxury ice cream completely occupying her sight.
Desserts have a fatal appeal to women of any age at any time.
"Colorful Ice Cream Special Edition, Satoshi wholeheartedly recommend this model! This is a skill I learned from an old man with great effort." Ash pushed the ice cream with the spoon in front of Erika in a very exaggerated tone, took the handkerchief handed by Yuri and wiped away the tears of today's injured.
Erika was not the only one looking at this "colorful" one, and four subtle sounds of swallowing could be vaguely heard.
"Okay, cheer up after eating this, and try to make your enemies look good next time."
"Thank you, thank you..." The resentment towards Ash in my heart quickly subsided, especially after putting the sweet taste on my tongue.
So sweet and delicious!
Well, the store manager doesn't look that annoying, he is indeed quite handsome.
"All this was done by the person named Timons, who calls himself Kamen Rider."
Yuri explained for Erika, who was so sweet that her face softened. The voice that reached her ears made her stunned for a moment, and her eyes couldn't help but shift to the TV.
"Who is it that suddenly knocked on this door, with a premonition of the case, Welcome windy city~?"
On TV, the two-color Kamen Rider is driving a motorcycle through their city, fighting against evil.
"He actually calls himself Kamen Rider..."
The difference between Kamen Rider and Kamen Rider is really big.
"A destiny born to protect this beloved planet~?"
Ash pressed the button on the remote control and changed the channel.
"Maybe it's not fake, maybe it's true?"
"Is there anyone in Kamen Rider who is so outrageous...?"
"If that's what you're asking?" Ash nodded after thinking for a while. "It's quite a lot to say the least."
Hearing Ash's answer, Tsukikage Yuri sighed.
"Really, you big Tokusatsu geek!" He put the Spiderman pillow in front of him in dissatisfaction, and Erika purred angrily from his throat. "Obviously I've been beaten like this by Kamen Rider, but you're still watching Kamen Rider. It's so annoying!"
"Erika..." Regarding his best friend's slightly unreasonable words, Lei wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. He glanced at the longing store manager and at the angry Erika. The girl caught in the middle could only laugh in embarrassment.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Ash clapped his hands and turned off the TV in the coffee shop with regret. "Since I said I would support you, then this is also my job. Let me do it... eh?"
Ash's hand that reached halfway was grasped tightly by Yuri, and the strength in his hand became tighter and tighter.
"Yeah!?" Seeing Ash's hand stretched out without hesitation, Erika screamed like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on, and began to crawl into Lei's arms regardless of the pain.
"No, don't touch it!"
"Store manager..."
It seemed that he was offended by public outrage. Even Lei, who was close to Ash, looked resentful under his glasses. Yuri's eyes looked at him as sharply as if he was catching a pest.
What? I really didn't intend to cause harm this time, I just wanted to help.
"Store manager, men and women are not allowed to have sex... If you really touched her just now, we would have to go to the police station to visit you."
"... I forgot"
I was so used to it that I forgot it happened.
"Can such a thing be easily forgotten?!"
Erika, who was usually full of energy, was now losing his energy due to bouts of throbbing pain. He was complaining as if he was in a state of confusion. Ash smiled and rubbed his hands on top of his head without bothering to pat them away.
"Okay, no more playing tricks." Putting a bottle of spray on Yuri's hand, Ash took out a pack of ice cubes from the backstage freezer.
"I'll leave the spraying work to you, and then you can apply ice to reduce the swelling in a while."
Erika responded feebly, and while his throat kept rumbling, he also hugged Timeranger and the Kuga doll placed on the sofa.
"The store manager really has everything."
Facing Lei, who was overwhelmed with emotion, Ash pretended to be mysterious and gave a faint smile.
"Nasta Café There is nothing that does not exist."
Chapter 13 Bringing the Capitalist Ash
After a period of running-in, Pretty Cure indeed regarded this place as their default meeting point. Because of the poor business, it was quiet enough here, so there was no need to worry about Pretty Cure's affairs being leaked. Ash also agreed to keep their secrets. As a high school student, Tsukikage Yuri could also very reliably help them solve some troublesome matters such as tutoring homework.
Although a certain store manager seemed a little unreliable, which almost made Lei's dream break.
But today, Lei still mustered up the courage to make her proposal to the store manager.
"Store manager, what do you think of this proposal?"
Facing Rei who mustered up the courage to talk to him, Ash put down the "Kūga" comic in his hand.
"Proposal, are you saying that you also want to work as a waiter at Nasta?"
"Yes!" Lei nodded while holding her round glasses, and Erika on the side also nodded. After a few days of practice, she was able to sit down, but she still kept twisting her butt awkwardly.
During this period, Ash took the initiative to be a supporter of Pretty Cure. Lei and Erika also saw it. Although in his personal opinion, he was not as powerful as Pretty Cure. They can't fight side by side, but every time after school or fighting, they can have a place for quiet communication, as well as free and delicious desserts (the actual point), and sometimes they can be given advice from "adults" from another perspective. This is already a very grateful treatment for them.
The girls couldn't accept these benefits with peace of mind, so after working together with Erika, the two decided to imitate their senior sister and come here to help out and work.
Lei couldn't help but fantasize about herself wearing a decent uniform, as a member of Nasta Café, elegantly serving a cup of delicious coffee to the guests... Although the latter part is doubtful, this scene is really great!
"Guest, please enjoy."
Her cherry-colored eyes after taking off her glasses are impressive. With a decent smile, "Rei" places coffee in front of customers in a polite manner, and steals their hearts with just a blink of an eye.
"So cute... no, so handsome! I want to be her -"
"Here, this lady, can you give me your contact information?"
Faced with the request of the school's most eye-catching school girl, "Lei" smiled and refused.
"No, as a lady, you can't just give your contact information to others."
"Then, please be my girlfriend!"
"Thank you, but it can't be done because I've already..."
Hearing the sound of the other party's heart breaking and turning gray, Lei chuckled lightly, turned around with the tray in her arms and looked back. The handsome boss sitting at the front desk also put down the "Shakespeare" in his hand, and only gave her a warm smile like the sun.
"Yo, Lei."
"Yes, store manager."
The two smiling eyes only saw each other's figure, and everything was silent.
——The dividing line that forms the bud in cure dream——
"Ah, this is really unbearable!"
"What's wrong with her?" Faced with Ash's question, Erika pulled out a lollipop from the counter, peeled off the candy wrapper and threw it into his mouth, shaking his head. "Who knows, maybe he is a nymphomaniac again."
If Lei knew what happened next, she would probably regret it, but for them now, this is a romance worth looking forward to.
"Okay." Ash agreed easily. Even though his small shop with less than a hundred customers per week did not need extra waiters, he still agreed.
After all, Ash has always been indifferent.
"Really? Great!" Even Erika cheered now, but she was happy about other things.
She found out from Tsukikage Yuri that the hourly wage here is as high as 2,200 yen per hour!
"In this case, I can buy imported high-grade fabrics!" Erika, whose eyes were filled with the desire for something, couldn't help but wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth. "And my own sewing machine! And Paris fashion magazine weekly!"
"This... such words!" After what Erika said, Lei also began to look forward to it. "I want that rare seed set..."
"No."
Ash's simple sentence shattered the girls' illusions, leaving them stunned on the spot.
"If I really pay you wages, I will be arrested by the police for illegal employment of child labor, so, no - okay -"
"You can come to help after school every day, but don't think about the salary."
After closing the "Kuaga" comic book, Ash struck the head, crushing the graying girl into sad ashes.
"Yada, Yada, Yada, Yada! I don't want this, Ash, you capitalist who even exploits little girls——"
The unladylike Erika rolled all over the floor and started acting up on the spot. Ash didn't tolerate him at all. After ignoring him, he put on a black trench coat and a helmet and walked out the door.
"By the way... I almost forgot about this."
Ash walked back to the front desk, picked up a pot of golden flowers wrapped in a transparent container from below and placed it on the counter.
The golden petals are mixed with bright red. This flower attracted Lei's attention almost the moment it appeared. The girl who loves flowers in her heart stared at this flower without blinking, and her heartfelt love emerged from her heart.
"Lei, please give her some water when I'm not around."
"This, this..." After blinking, Lei, who was sure that she didn't recognize this flower at all, grew more fond and curious about it. "Manager, what is the name of this flower?"
Whether it's in books or on TV, I've never even seen it in my grandma's botanical garden! This flower is as beautiful and rare as the beauty among flowers!
"You asked for the name?"
Ash smiled mysteriously when he heard the girl's question.
"Her name is: Gijera"
"By the way, don't open her protective shield."
"Hey, why, wouldn't it be a pity for flowers if they can't have direct contact with air and sunlight?"
"It's not the flower's problem, it's your problem."
The pollen of this flower is poisonous.
Thinking of the girl who was shocked by him, Ash laughed loudly and took out his new mobile phone, plugged in his own Steel Tank Full Bottle and threw it out.
"[Build change]!"
The mobile phone defied physics and transformed into a motorcycle with gears on the front, allowing Ash to ride on it.
"It's a pity that I sent my Diago Motorcycle... Well, this one is not bad."
Anyway, I have a lot of motorcycles, and I am so greedy for that thief!
Turning the accelerator handle and pressing the clutch in the palm of his hand, amidst the roar of Machine Creator, Ash took out the silver mask he had borrowed from Lupinranger and prepared to meet his friend on the other side.
Since you don't want to fight as much as before, then find some fun elsewhere, such as... interpersonal relationships?
You must have a good relationship with Pretty Cures, and you must also have a good relationship with Desert Apostles, only then can you be healthy.
Chapter 14 The Daily Life of the "Newcomer" Villain
Desert Apostles's base camp is naturally hidden deep in the desert.
Except for "Dr. Sabaku" who is responsible for leading his subordinates and "Dark Precure" who acts alone and mysteriously.
