"You win this time."
Lei subconsciously caught what the other party threw, and when she took a closer look, she was surprised to find that it was all Heart Seed that had been taken away by the other party before.
This... this time, it's so simple!?
"What are you doing? Why don't you knock down——"
"Because the battle has become boring, but I am looking forward to the next battle." Pointing to Desertrian next to him who was standing motionless. "This thing has already awakened my heart, so it's useless. Let's go."
"Damn it..."
"Ah, that's right." Before leaving, Ash suddenly turned around and stared at the purple girl with all his compound eyes.
"I'm looking forward to the day you mentioned."
"Yuri-chan~"
Until the other party completely disappeared, Yuri, who seemed to be completely exhausted, sat on the grass and panted heavily.
Wait, this guy... knows my name?
After defeating the enemy and retrieving the seeds, the other two girls cheered and clapped their hands while turning their attention to the fallen Desertrian.
"Yuri-nee, thank you for your help!"
"I didn't do anything. The credit for this time is all yours." Walking to the girl's side, Yuri bowed slightly and used his green fingers to wipe the dust off the girls' faces. Looking at these juniors who had become reliable, Yuri's eyes were filled with the tenderness of Mugen.
"This time, you did a great job."
Everything is hidden in their smiles.
In the coffee shop, Eddie, whose face turned red, knelt down and bowed down in shame to a group of girls who were younger than him.
"I'm really, really sorry!"
Chapter 58 Become a hero!
"Wait, wait, Mr. Eddie, please don't do this!"
"Don't stop me, I have done something unforgivably stupid!"
Having a man much older than themselves kowtow and apologize for anything, Lei and others, who had never received such a great gift, felt very uncomfortable, but no matter how they asked him, they didn't want to get up.
"I didn't realize that you are actually Pretty Cure. You are the real heroes of this world!"
Without any explanation, Eddie took the initiative to kneel on the ground. Now Eddie only feels Mugen ashamed.
He was clearly planning to defeat the evil, but he was turned into a villain. Instead, he caused trouble for the local heroes, and even had to be lectured by them before he finally woke up.
How useless, how shameful and weak! How can I have the dignity to call myself a SCSO soldier like this!
"I've caused so much trouble for everyone because of my mess--I no longer have the face to go back and see the Commander!"
So Eddie closed his eyes and turned his heart. Under the surprised eyes of the girls, he raised GekiRyu Ken and pointed it at his stomach with his backhand as if to stab him.
"The matter has come to this, and the only way to wash away the evil deeds I have done is to die!"
Before he could really stab him, Lei, Erika, and the two elves hurriedly used their arms to stop him with their hands and feet.
"Wait, what are you doing - what are you going on about?"
"Don't stop me! This is the legend of this country anyway, I'm just doing as the Romans do!"
"You're such a feudal dregs and you're just doing as the Romans do. Please wake up!"
"Mr. Eddie, no matter who you are, you will make mistakes. The important thing is to know your mistakes and correct them!" Lei, who was almost unable to bear the unreasonable behavior now, shouted her heart out to him. "So I think it's really bad to risk your life just to avoid the responsibility of correcting your own mistakes!"
"Dang Cang——"
The sword fell from his hand and fell to the ground. Lei's preaching made Eddie even more ashamed and couldn't even cover the teaching sword. Ash, wearing a deacon's uniform, appeared behind him at some point. The tray in his hand was raised and knocked on his head with a crisp sound.
"In front of several girls and in front of my store clerk, you casually said something about committing hara-kiri?" Ash, who looked completely disdainful, knocked hard again until the other party screamed in pain before taking the tray back. "If you want to commit suicide, cut it off on an empty piece of land. Don't spill blood in my shop."
"I..."
Feeling the contemptuous eyes that hurt him, Eddie lowered his head and glanced at everyone present, and finally placed it on Tsukikage Yuri, who seemed to always have a calm face. As if he had made up his mind, he walked over with GekiRyu Ken and the key box.
"Well, when I was still Desertrian, I heard your conversation..." He tilted his head to one side, and now he was afraid to look at others. "Miss Tsukikage Yuri, you used to be a hero who protected this world, but you just lost your ability."
"That's right, but now that I have reliable juniors, I no longer need to—?"
Yuri, who was originally determined to reject him no matter what Eddie said, was stunned when he saw the other party offering GekiRyu Ken and the key box with both hands.
"If that's the case, then please—please accept this and become a hero once again to protect the world!"
"Eh————!?"
As soon as Eddie's words came out, the two girls and the elves couldn't help but let out sighs that were about to drop their jaws. Even Ash didn't expect him to do such a trick, so he couldn't help but want to see what would happen next.
"I don't have the performance or qualifications to be worthy of a hero. Now facing the enemies in this world, even if I use them, their glory will only be brought to shame."
"Instead of humiliating yourself, why not - let a real hero like you use it!"
As if he had exhausted all his strength, Eddie, with tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and uttered words that denied the past and tore him into pieces.
That'll be it...
If you can't do it yourself, then give the opportunity to others, to those who can do it... In this way, I can be considered to have helped the world.
Yuri looked at the sword in Eddie's hand that shone with cold light. She could feel the magical power contained in the sword. As long as she accepted it, she would indeed get a new opportunity.
Being willing to give your things to others for such a reason, as a Interdimensional Traveler, Eddie's behavior is really contrary to the normal Interdimensional Traveler schedule.
But in the end, Yuri closed his eyes, and under everyone's gaze, pushed the sword in front of him back to Eddie.
"This is not my thing."
"Why, why? Is it because of me..."
"That's wrong." Ash came over and said what she had prepared on behalf of Yuri. "This sword of yours was entrusted to you by the person you longed for, right? If you simply handed it over to someone else, wouldn't it be equivalent to mocking that person and saying that his vision was wrong?"
"No, it's not like that!" Seeing Eddie's blushing face, Ash knew that he was right to use the commander to provoke him.
"Since you feel that you are not enough and want to be recognized by others." Pushing back the shimmering Dragon Strike Sword completely, Yuri patted the Magibullet Dragon vigorously as if encouraging. "Then keep working hard and become a hero worthy of this sword."
"I... I... I...!"
Eddie, who was holding Dragon Strike Sword, was sitting on his knees, tears of regret dripping on the wooden floor, but even as he shed tears, his back was no longer as embarrassing as before.
"Really, really thank you! I will never give up!"
Even if I can't become a hero, there must be something I can do!
"Then, drink this cup of coffee and cheer up again."
"Store manager." Seeing Eddie hurriedly taking the coffee, Yuri had nothing to say to this guy who recommended his "products" every chance he got. "You obviously know that the coffee you brew contains——"
"Delicious——!"
The man's cheers interrupted the remaining half of Yuri's unfinished sentence. He was hurriedly wiping his tears. Eddie couldn't wait to drink the remaining half of the cup of coffee in one gulp under the horrified eyes of the girls.
"It tastes good. I've never tasted anything so delicious!"
What is this? This exciting taste, this feeling of sparks hitting the earth on the tip of your tongue, it's great! In my long life, this is the first time I have tasted something so delicious!
"Ha, there are still discerning guys in this world!" Seeing Eddie's moving tears constantly falling, Ash's favorable opinion of Ash, who was originally very disliked by Eddie, increased tenfold or even ninefold.
"Boss - Ma, please have another drink!"
"Okay!"
Seeing Eddie who was so moved and Ash who was so happy, the girls didn't know what expressions to make on their faces for a while.
"It turns out that some people really like that coffee..."
"Someone liked the store manager's coffee, and Heart Seed also took it back. Isn't this good?"
Hearing Erika's relaxed summary, Lei stopped worrying and instead enjoyed the leisurely time after the victory with peace of mind.
After all, when they put the retrieved seeds into the special Heart Pot, everyone saw the sacred light emanating from the pot that shot straight into the sky.
In this case, Heart Tree will regain its vitality, and our Pretty Cure responsibilities will be further enhanced!
An unknown number of meters directly above the coffee shop, there is an island floating on the clouds and suspended in the air. There is a towering tree growing on the island. At this moment, countless bright light spots begin to gather from the branches and leaves of the big tree, and finally converge on the trunk of the tree to emit dazzling light.
The light lasted for several minutes before slowly calming down. Where these lights converged, small rustling sounds began to emit from the hollows of the big trees.
"Hmm~?"
A young figure poked out from the cave, with light yellow hair like a bow on its head. The soft and cute white radish, which was very similar to Shiffre, stared at the new world with big watery eyes.
Chapter 59 The Third Elf
"So, this is the Little Dark you are talking about Heart Tree?"
Using the vulture seal that he had drawn together with the scorpion seal not long ago, Timons, who was flapping the steel wings on his back, passed through the clouds and came to Dark Precure, who was also flying in the sky.
The eyes under Ash's mask couldn't help but look at Anmei's chest. Don't get me wrong, of all the Pretty Cure Europeans he has encountered so far, no one is bigger than A, and none of them is in his strike zone. Even the created Dark Precure is of extremely sad size. What he is looking at now is what is being held in the opponent's arms.
"(￣W￣)" Kain, with a look of enjoyment on his face, was held in Little Dark's arms. His face was filled with expressions of contentment and enjoyment that made him look like he didn't want to be beaten. The provocative eyes he threw at him from time to time seemed to say, "This is the happiness that you can only enjoy~" Ash took deep breaths to calm down his mood before lowering his blood pressure.
Calm down, Ash, calm down, it's you, there's no need to be in trouble with yourself.
Be patient, be patient... be patient, as the saying goes, one step of patience will open up the sky~
Yoxi, I've decided, I'll give this thing [self-audit] when I get back!
"Dr. Sabaku noticed Heart Tree's reaction the day before." Glancing at Timons who was scanning her chest with a very rude look, Anmei continued to talk. "Heart Tree is a collection of human Heart Flower. It is also the source of energy for the earth and Pretty Cure. It is the target that we must eradicate."
"Yes, yes." Ash responded very absentmindedly. Fortunately, Anmei didn't care about the person in front of him, so she didn't hold on to his casual attitude. Instead, she continued to talk about the mission while stroking Kain.
"After I found the big tree this time, I almost ended it completely." At this point, Anmei clenched her fists, seeming to still be upset about not being able to end everything completely during the last battle with Moonlight Angel. "But at the critical moment, a golden protective shield blocked my attack, making Heart Tree disappear from here."
"I'm afraid it was the newly born fairy that used its own power to protect the tree."
"Fairy?" Hearing the word mentioned by the other party, Ash suddenly became interested. "Hey~ Goblins can actually do this kind of thing."
After all, in Ash's impression, the goblins around Pretty Cure are of no use except for providing transformation props and being cute. Not to mention compared to the wall-hanging people of Showa, even the defense team in Heisei Ultraman is not as good as them. They can at least scratch the monsters before crashing.
"Elves can give humans the ability to transform into Pretty Cure. The goal this time is to find and kill the newborn goblin."
Dark Precure stopped stroking the devil's hand and turned his attention to Ash.
"Pretty Cure and everything about them are the ones we must defeat."
"Of course, this is of course my purpose! After all, I have a lot of grievances with them~" Ash clapped his hands repeatedly, as if he was incompatible with Pretty Cure. "What I hate the most is a guy like Pretty Cure who looks like a great savior. I must defeat him, defeat him severely!"
Yes, I have to keep defeating them so that I can grow into what I expect.
Ash once calculated that the more dazzling heroes he fought, the more benefits he would get, such as the miracles also caused by Pretty Cure in the previous world.
Even though that memory has disappeared with the transformation of Dark Echo, Ash can still clearly perceive that it was the existence that once changed his own nature, so he is pursued crazily by himself today.
No matter what, I want to see that miracle again.
"But, Little Dark, you said you want to find a new fairy, where should you find it?"
"..."
Anmei didn't speak, she just stared into Ash's eyes with her exposed single eye, saying nothing.
'Idiot boss! ' Kain, who was in some pain from being strangled in the other party's arms, quickly waved for help. 'I'm a girl, boss, think about last time, you have to take the initiative! '
Under the mask, Ash blinked, feeling a little unhappy for no reason.
Ha, be more proactive. Why should I take the initiative? But forget it, since Kain said so...
"Little Dark, I think we can have another date like that last time..."
"If it's for the mission."
Ash was a little confused for a moment when he saw Kain slumped on his chest and gasping for air after letting go of his embrace.
Ah, is this enough?
Women... I don't understand.
However, you can find an opportunity to let Lei and the others know about the appearance of a new goblin. If you find it, you can bring it back to them along the way.
