Erika, who was facing serious injuries or even worse consequences, widened her eyes out of fear. Just as the spike was getting closer and closer to her, a red light swayed past her, and she dodged past the devastating tail spike with dangerous risks.
"Huha, hahahaha——" Being held in Princess's arms, the girl who survived the disaster took a big breath of fresh air. When she looked up to see who was the hero who saved the beauty at the critical moment, she saw Timons's spider web head.
"Why-why you!"
Erika was shocked. You said you deceived Itsuki's heart and turned her brother into a monster because you are a bad villain. Why are you saving me now?
At this time, the girl realized how bad the other person's posture was when he was holding her armpits and legs. The girl's heart hidden under the careless attitude was subtly hurt, and she started to make a fuss and twist.
"You have hurt Itsuki's heart, and you actually - you still treat a lady like this! Relax me quickly, you pervert with a spider web head wearing a belt, Lolicon pervert! Pervert! Pervert!"
Chapter 68 The Devil's Escape
"Oh."
Ash responded with an unusually cold voice and then let go of his hand. Erika fell to the ground with a groan.
"What are you doing? It hurts!"
"You asked me to let go." Ash's response was still cold. The reason was probably because his heart was also hurt by Erika's "violent words".
Ash, who rarely meant well to save others but was scolded as a pervert, naturally felt uncomfortable, so he even criticized Erika's self-proclaimed words.
"You are the only one who is still a lady. I think you are a lady crane, right?"
"You——"
"You actually scolded me Lolicon, haha." Even through the spider web mask, Erika seemed to be able to see the disdainful look from under the mask. "You are such a noisy little man, and you talk like no one will like it. Whoever marries a guy like you who only causes trouble to others in the future will be really unlucky."
"Marine——ah..."
Rei, who was worried about her friend, just came over and looked at the rare scene of Eri quarreling with her enemy with shame.
"Who, who is this unlucky little dwarf who only causes trouble for others!" Erika also forgot the identity of Timons's enemy for a moment. When her identity was arbitrarily speculated, she turned red like anyone who had been stabbed in the foot. "I'm not like you, a guy with a dark mind. My sister is a famous model, so of course someone likes me too!"
"Like it? Oh, for example?"
"For example... for example..." Erika was speechless for a moment as he felt the overly piercing gaze directed at him. After all, Lei still had a crush on the owner of the cafe, but what about him who kept saying he was flirting with her?
"No!" Erika reacted suddenly and strode forward. The girl who originally wanted to grab the opponent's collar stood up on tiptoes but could not reach her neck, so she had to grab Ash's breastplate and shake it. "I almost fooled you, please tell me!"
Pointing at the monster that had lost its enemy target and started to continue to destroy the surrounding environment, Erika shouted at Ash, "This is what you did, you should tell me what to do!"
"You are the partner of justice, right?" Ash raised his head and pushed Erika's hand but did not push it away for a moment. "Now you actually come to ask me how a villain can defeat evil. Are you showing off your brain?"
"I don't care about this kind of thing. Since you saved me, you have to tell me!"
Facing Erika's unreasonable troubles, Ash let out a rather unhappy "tsk" and then turned his attention to the monster below. After all, he did go a bit too far in order to test Du En's true identity, not to mention that the result he got made him very unhappy.
But fortunately, I have a backup plan.
In front of the girl, Ash took out a remote switch device from behind.
Fortunately, I had considered the possibility of situations that were beyond my control, so I planted a micro bomb on the seal early in the morning. Now I can just press the button to completely destroy the seal. In this way, after the contract is terminated, if there is a problem, I can just let the Precures purify it.
"In the end, I have to come -"
Just when Ash was about to press the switch, the monster that had been concentrating on destruction suddenly turned its head and shot a ray from its chest that was gushing with power, pointing directly at Ash.
"Wow!" The sudden attack scared Erika to the point where he sat on the ground again. Ash, who was bitten by a snake, instinctively raised his hands to dodge.
But when he retracted his hand, his face became more and more gloomy when he looked at the switch that had been broken into two halves.
"Asshole..."
Turning his gaze to the monster below, Ash saw the monster's funny round face and its mouth opening and closing, as if it was conveying some message.
"You're great. I'm looking forward to the day when I can meet you in a formal way."
Following the movements of the other person's mouth, Ash read out the words word for word, then gritted his teeth.
Oh, am I being provoked?
"Well, no—"
The weird monster suddenly began to struggle, holding its round head with ferocious hands and kneeling on the ground, as if it was fighting with itself.
Ash was stunned for a while and then realized, yes, it must be the kid inside who is fighting against the being that controls his body! After all, although there was a connection, it was only part of the power, and he was not really here! The boundless water will eventually run out!
And if this kid can win from the competition, he must strengthen his consciousness. In this case.
"Hey!" Turning the armor's loudspeaker to maximum, Ash shouted in the direction of the monster. "Think about your sister, think about what you are doing now!"
"Hmm!" Meidoin Kou, who was sealed in the crystal ball embedded in the monster's chest, looked in pain, but he did start to react.
"It's so scary - I'm afraid of surgery... But everyone is happy that I can see the hope of recovery. How can I say the word "fear" now that things have happened?
"My sister has also sacrificed a lot for me. I don't want her to see me looking like a coward..."
"Brother..." The girl opened her mouth wide after hearing the painful confession from her eldest brother.
Have you always thought this way?
"But now I'm free!"
The conversation suddenly changed, and the monster kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up. The spikes on its back were like launched cluster missiles, dragging thick tail smoke and flying out, pointing directly at Pretty Cure's current location.
The girls subconsciously closed their eyes to react defensively, but when they opened their eyes, what they saw was Timons, whose back was turned to them, opening a spiderweb-shaped energy shield in front of them, blocking the sparks exploding in front of them as quickly as possible.
"Ti——Timons, why!?"
"There's no reason for this!" Ash found it difficult to talk to him when he was trying his best to output the shield power. "Otherwise, I will be included in the attack range, no!"
This Du En really shows no mercy to his subordinates!
No, there are only a few villain bosses who can treat their subordinates as their own brothers, clearly understand the rewards and punishments, and protect their subordinates passionately. It would be better to say that you are so decent, why don't you apply for a job with the good guys!
If anything, I really like people like Regina to be my boss or something. They are generous and easy to deceive, and they are also very coaxable and will stroke people's hair - Gu!
The nervous Ash was unaware for a moment, and the shield in his hand exploded on the spot and was blown away.
"Damn it, what did you do to this guy!"
Even though they were enemies, the girls still felt very uncomfortable when they saw the person protecting them being blown away. They immediately rushed forward, and then they were hit hard and punched back.
"Pretty Cure, Timons!"
His heart tightened, and Itsuki, who subconsciously called out the person's name, strode towards the landing direction.
Chapter 69 The third Pretty Cure
"Oh my back!"
Ash, who was lying on the ground like a salted fish, turned over and couldn't help but press his palms to his lower back.
What's going on? It seems that since I transformed into Timons, all the attacks have been directed at my back!
Ash, who had just climbed up from the pit, opened his eyes and saw Itsuki running towards him. He gritted his teeth and shouted in that direction with all his strength. "What are you doing? Why don't you get away quickly?"
"But - you!" The strong wind around him made Itsuki subconsciously raise his arms to block in front of him. Lei, who was knocked away by the heavy blow, flew past him, and the girl who was screaming in pain was knocked away as easily as a basketball.
Seeing the monster approaching him, Ash twirled his fingers and was ready to use the spider silk to pull him away, but the monster bypassed him with a clear goal and went straight to the Pretty Cures behind him.
'This Pretty Cure won't work. '
When the monster walked past him, Ash could even hear a man with a slightly pleasant voice speaking like this.
"Duen! What the hell -" Ash, who was let go, became even more angry, and his clenched fists made spider web-like cracks on the ground.
"This guy is already powerful enough, but he actually knows martial arts and stuff - that's outrageous!"
Dodging the blade and slashing it from behind, taking away some blue hair, Erika glanced behind him with lingering fear, lowered his body and tried his best to punch the opponent with Lei, but was twisted away by extremely deft steps, and was whipped out by the tail from behind.
"Oops-"
By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late. The monster extended two cannon barrel-like parts from its back, and red to black light condensed on the top of the muzzle, aiming directly at the two girls.
Facing the two light cannons flying from inside, the terrified girl who fell on the ground could no longer withstand the attack!
"————"
Silent screams passed through the air, and the light that pierced the sight almost blinded Itsuki's unprotected eyes. When the light dissipated, the two Pretty Cure were already lying powerlessly in the deep pit of smoke. The ground around the girls showed signs of crystallization due to the high temperature. They lay covered with bruises in a hell-like environment. Only the tough will they had trained was still supporting the girls who struggled to persist.
"Pretty Cure!"
No, this is not what my brother expected!
"Stop it quickly, brother, you are definitely not the kind of person who would base your own happiness on the pain of others!"
Itsuki ran in front of the two girls and opened his arms to stand between them and the monster!
"Don't you notice?!" Seeing Itsuki's reckless behavior, Ash quickly struggled to stand up. "This is already a battlefield. It's already dangerous enough for you. Are you so anxious that you want to die? Why don't you get out!"
"No - I don't want to just watch!" Thinking of what he had said to Popuri before, Itsuki bit his lip to suppress all the fear. "There are many things I want to protect, including my family, the dojo, my friends as Pretty Cure, and you! They are all included in this 'many'!"
One step, two steps, Itsuki slowly approached the monster that was staring at him.
"Brother, wake up quickly and become your original gentle self!"
As if after hearing Itsuki's words, the restless monster actually calmed down for a moment.
Great, brother heard my voice——
Itsuki Before he could be happy, he happened to meet the red eyes in that funny round head, and an uncontrollable chill instantly climbed up his body.
No, the person in this look is definitely not my brother!
"——!"
Facing the monster that was about to hit him with his fist, Ash raised his hand and was about to shoot out the spider silk to pull her back, but he didn't want the violent movement to pull the pain from his back and make him fall to the ground.
Damn it, what happened to my back? Did it break at the critical moment?!
'No, this is because your body functions have deteriorated. '
Ash stretched out his hand hard but could not reach it. Seeing that the shadow was about to cover the girl's body, a small figure rushed in front of the girl and opened a shield to block the attack!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Popuri's vigorous defense only lasted for a short while. It only deflected the opponent's attack to his feet, and was blown away by the punch from behind the shattered shield, including the man and the elf.
"Popuri, why!"
Itsuki, who was protecting Popuri in her arms, rolled several times on the ground. The girl looked at the elf in her arms who had saved her in surprise. At this time, Popuri tried to look strong even though her eyes were filled with tears.
"Itsuki and I are the same! There are many things I want to protect. I want to protect my friends, I want to protect Pretty Cure, I want to protect Heart Tree, I want to protect Itsuki!"
"Even if I don't protect you well, I still want to work hard and help everyone more!"
The voice was blurred by the sobs caused by tears, but the elf's innocent heart was conveyed to Itsuki's heart without any hindrance.
"Popuri..."
My mood is the same as yours.
"Oh, is it a new elf? There were not so many elves before." A completely different voice came from the monster's mouth. It continued to approach the girl step by step, but the other party was not as scared as it thought.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore!"
Itsuki, who was holding Popuri, took the initiative to stand up and still stood firmly in front of Pretty Cure, who had lost his strength.
"No matter who you are, please return my brother!"
"You can't do this kind of thing." The monster who had just finished speaking suddenly paused, and after a while he continued intermittently. "Are you still holding on? But even with such a strong look, you can't do anything as a human."
"That's not right, Duen!" A high-pitched voice came from one side, attracting the monster's attention. Ash stood up holding his waist, his tone full of passionate emotions. "The talents I have chosen will not be as shameful as you said. I have always believed in their possible miracles!"
I have always believed in the possibility of heroes and hero reserves!
Well, Itsuki, if the time has come, it's time to let him see it!
"Even if I don't have the power, I will still protect you!"
"Protect everyone who is most important to me!"
The moment Itsuki made a loud declaration of determination, the dazzling golden light emitted from her chest and Popuri's chest simultaneously entangled and sublimated. Both the monster and Ash had to raise their hands to cover up the light that was too dazzling for the darkness.
"This, this is?"
Bathed in the warmth of the sun, Itsuki didn't realize what was going on for a while, but Popuri was already overjoyed.
