"It's really messy. I can't put my feet down. Please help me clean it up."
"Why didn't you clean it up earlier!"
Staring into Erika's eyes, Ash said confidently, "I don't want to waste time on this kind of thing."
You're just lazy!
Facing Ash's unreasonable voice, Erika was speechless. Can such a thing be said in such a serious manner?!
Erika had no choice but to pick up the broom and sweep away as much rubbish as possible instead of throwing away Ash's collection as rubbish.
"It's so troublesome." x2
However, only a little bit of garbage was swept away, and it was only a few minutes, but it felt as if half a day had passed and neither of them wanted to do it anymore.
It's so troublesome. I remember there were always people cleaning for me in the past. Why is there no one this time?
There is no other way. When Yuri comes tomorrow, I will discuss it with her. I will give her a salary increase and let her clean for me regularly. It is still too troublesome to do it by myself.
"It's so troublesome... ah, Coffret!" Muttering the same thing as Ash, Erika brought Coffret over from downstairs and stretched out his hand as if he wanted something.
"What's wrong? I don't have anything on me?"
"Well, give me Ocean Magic Wand, since the energy of the magic wand can purify Desertrian~" Looking at the messy rooms around him, Erika, who was playing a little clever, suddenly came up with a plan.
"Then you can use this to make the room tidy, right?"
"Ha!!! You, you, what are you talking about!" Coffret was shocked. This Erika actually wanted to use Pretty Cure's weapon to clean the room. It was too childish. Do you have the nerve to say that you are a precuer?!
"What does it matter? I am helping the store manager now. Precure's mission is to help others. I use the power of Precure to help the store manager. Doesn't it mean the same thing?"
"It seems so... No, this is no longer the same!"
"I don't care, it's so troublesome to clean up. Hand over your magic wand!"
"Okay, stop playing tricks." In the end, Ash used his knife to punish Erika, who was messing with his elf. After all, there were quite a lot of stuff hidden in his room. If you really purified something, that would be a big deal.
Thinking of this, Ash also sighed. This was the reason why he was troubled. He wanted to give his hand a good appearance, but in fact, if the unbalanced power in the Duen Seal on his hand could not be properly handled, he would not be able to make good use of it.
"I said, Erika?" Ash asked casually when he was distracted thinking about the seal. "What would you do if something is difficult to use because it stands out too much?"
"Too prominent, what, you mean your coffee?" Erika, who didn't understand what Ash meant, subconsciously thought that Ash was talking about what happened in the coffee shop. "Your coffee is really bitter. Why don't you add some sugar to neutralize it?"
Add more sugar to neutralize... what?
Erika's words awakened the dreamer, and Ash suddenly realized what the problem was.
Yes, I am indeed very familiar with dark power, so there is nothing I can do with that seal. After all, I can't drain it and replace it with Dark Echo, otherwise the strengthening will be meaningless.
In this case, why don't I try another method, which is to use light to fight darkness in traditional arts?
Ash's brain was working rapidly, and his eyes immediately drifted to the two "Enhancement Unit" stained with the blood of Erika. Logically speaking, if the blood flowing in Pretty Cure's body also has energy...
Ignoring Erika's strange look, Ash plugged in the wires to Enhancement Unit and turned on the computer to test the data on the spot. He was not afraid that this would expose him. Anyway, even if Erika looked at it, he couldn't see the meaning of the jumping numbers on it.
"What are you doing again..." As expected, Erika, who felt bored after watching for a while, pouted and his eyes flicked to the refrigerator.
"Let me see if there are any other drinks in there... eh?" Erika opened the door of the refrigerator without hesitation, but was stunned by the contents inside. Her dull eyes even made her unable to understand what she saw.
What's inside here, what's inside here, seems to be... the one I've seen——
"Hahahahaha————!" The contagious laughter from behind instantly broke Erika's thoughts. Before she could even react to what happened, she was picked up by someone, hung high in the air and spun around.
"Great, this reading was successful!"
Ash just tried to put the data of Erika, in other words the data input of Pretty Cure, against the power of the seal. The result was very gratifying. In other words, this idea is completely feasible!
The matter that had been worrying for a while was solved by Erika's unintentional words. It's hard to describe how happy Ash was at this time. He acted according to his instincts, laughed loudly, and praised mercilessly.
"What are you doing? Let go -"
"Hahahahaha, I love you so much Erika! You are simply my goddess of luck!"
At this moment, Ash's words made her throw away all her thoughts, worries, and previous surprises.
All that was left was the "unclear" words he uttered.
Chapter 86 Erika's change of mind
"A thousand sheep... a thousand and one sheep..."
Late at night, on the second floor of Haihai's house, the only girl's voice kept ringing in the room belonging to Erika.
"One thousand and two sheep... one thousand and three sheep..."
The girl was not as energetic late at night as she was during the day, but her voice was still continuous.
"One thousand and three sheep... ahhhhh, no, I can't sleep at all!"
Erika, who was rolling, sat up from the bed with her shaking face in her hands. She kept "whining" and had a depressed expression on her face at the moment.
There was nothing she could do about it. It was natural that she would not be able to sleep. Now whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was someone's affectionate gaze and those fatal words.
"Erika, I love you."
The moment he closed his eyes, the increasingly intense scene appeared in front of him again. In a pink cloud filter that looked like a girl's comic, a man with jet black hair looked directly into his eyes. After the girl's brain augmentation and automatic editing, the character's style and chin became more handsome than that person in reality. "Ash" who was ten times or even nine times closer, with eyes that were three points domineering, two points careless and five points fond, Ash, who even changed his CV to the magnetic voice of "Hiyama Shuyuki", spoke almost sincerely at this moment.
"You are my goddess of luck. If you leave me, my good luck will no longer favor me."
"This, I..."
As if he had become a different person, the carefree Erika muttered vague words in a soft and soft voice that was completely different from his own.
The girl who was forced into the corner was in a state of emotional confusion, but the look of disgust was missing. A pair of aquamarine eyes looked at the black pupils that were getting closer, as if she was finally planning to say something. But at this moment, the man raised his finger and quietly tipped the girl's chin, causing her to look at him again.
"So Erika, I want you to stay with me forever, okay?"
Wow wow wow wow wow - like this, who can stand up to this!
"I, I, I wish... that's not right!!"
Ahhhhh, the store manager said such irresponsible words to me, how could anyone not pay attention to it?
"Now I just... can only..."
Knock knock————
There was a knocking sound from the window, and Erika was shocked. He quickly mustered up his energy, ran over, and opened the curtains with a swipe.
"Lei?"
Erika and Lei are good neighbors right next to each other. Even the windows of the two girls' rooms happen to face each other. The two people standing in front of the window are now less than one meter apart, which makes it convenient for the girls to have such a conversation.
"What's wrong, Erika." Lei, with a very deep voice, rubbed her sleepy eyes. It seemed that she was woken up in her sleep by Erika's behavior of staying up all night and yelling.
"You have been acting strange since you came back today. I saw you staring at the sky in a daze when you were fine. Now you can't sleep either?"
After today's battle, Erika left without stopping, not knowing what he was doing. It would be terrible if something bad happened... In short, Lei was very worried about his relatives and friends Erika.
"I..."
Erika opened his mouth to say something, but in the end no words came out.
How can I express this kind of thing?
She wanted to fool him by making some jokes as usual, but she couldn't open her mouth no matter what, and all the jokes she had made were useless.
"What happened, Erika? Can you tell me about it?"
In a simple mood of wanting to help her relatives and friends, Lei tried her best to soften her voice. However, the more she spoke, the more erratic the shadow of Erika's petite figure dragged out under the moonlight.
Lei is very strange. For some reason, Erika's wandering eyes always don't look at her face.
"Lei... I seem to have someone I like."
Erika swallowed what he said, blushed and lowered his head, with tears in his eyes, just playing with the skirt of his pajamas. That kind of tenderness, shyness, pity, and regret made Lei indescribable for a while.
Finally, I said it.
"Hey!" The sleepy Lei suddenly became energetic, and her cherry-colored eyes widened instantly. This can explain Erika's strange behavior today, so that's it! Everything made sense.
But Erika actually likes someone. It's a bit hard to imagine. Who could it be?
"Who is who? Is it from our class... or from the class next door...?"
"No more!"
Erika shook his head, and after rejecting all of Lei's choices, he finally stopped with his eyes filled with uneasiness, met Lei's curious eyes for a moment, and then quickly turned away.
"Lei, I'm sorry."
"Eh?"
Why do you need to apologize to me?
————The dividing line for the second day————
"What's wrong? It's not possible at all!"
Kicking Lei away, Ash, who transformed into Timons, experienced the boring feeling brought by torturing food for the first time in a long time.
In order to confirm and ensure that his tenacious "original intention" should not be shaken, Ash rarely put aside the work at hand and went to find trouble for them. After all, it is not easy to fight these increasingly powerful girls while trying not to use genetic mixing (Kain language).
But the result was unexpected. Although Itsuki was not there because of something else, the actual problem was Erika.
"Erika!" After landing, Lei supported the ground with her high heels and slid backwards to help up Erika, who was lying on the ground next to her with her mouth and eyes closed. "Are you okay? Erika, you don't look right today...Erika?!"
Erika was startled when she didn't reply to her words. She quickly put her ear against her chest to make sure that her heart was still beating vigorously, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
What, just fell asleep... Wait, fell asleep?! Fell asleep while fighting.
"Hey hey hey, don't be like this, it's too bad - uh, uh, uh?" Maybe it was because the movement was too loud. Erika blinked his hazy eyes and finally woke up from an unknown dream by patting his head.
"What's wrong, damn it, I'm so tired... so tired..."
I was thinking about Erika last night all night long, but I couldn't sleep at all and now I am very sleepy... No, I can't even open my eyes.
"Erika, cheer up!" An anxious Lei looked at Timons who was getting closer and closer, grabbed Erika's limp body and shook it back and forth. "Itsuki should be here soon, don't get sleepy at this time!"
"I know... but!" He forced his limp body to stand up. Even in Pretty Cure state, Erika was yawning and shaking. "But I'm still so sleepy..."
"Really, don't come out to fight when you're so sleepy." Ash dug at the compound eyes on his helmet rather helplessly. He didn't know what was going on with Erika, but he felt very unhappy that his special efforts were wasted.
Really, I plan to beat you up, or be beaten up by you to make myself cruel and avoid becoming weak. How can I beat you like this?
"Um, can we reconcile?" Lei, who was holding Erika, forced out a smile that was worse than crying at Ash. It would be best if he could not fight at this time.
"No need, it's just Timons, my words..." Erika, whose affection for Timons had dropped to the ground, did not intend to do this. Even though his body was swaying, he still pointed at the "clone" of Spider-Man and said loudly, "I can knock you down even in my sleep————ahhh~"
Erika's mouth, which grew because of his arrogance, turned into a yawn in the shame of Lei and the elves.
"Honestly, there's no point in fighting you in this situation. I might as well let you go."
That's right, that's right, don't you understand this very well? You think so too!
In Lei's expectant eyes, Ash pulled out his own Spider Stamp.
"[Charge!]"
"Hmm..." Seeing Erika nodding his head in three steps, Ash nodded and pushed both sides of the belt toward the center. "Sure enough, let's forget it. I'm not so kind."
"[Demons Finish!]"
Chapter 87 Erika's heartbeat
"It hurts so much..."
"Who asked you to stay up late, but you almost fell asleep during the battle. You deserved to be beaten."
Use a cotton swab dipped in iodophor to lightly apply some iodine on the tip of Erika's nose. Looking at the medicine on the tip of his nose, Erika's eyes were filled with tears and he screamed in pain.
Itsuki and Yuri went to purchase used coffee beans. Lei said it was because of Erika's strong request to help her buy her favorite Strawberry Daifuku. There were only Erika and Miso Ash in the huge coffee shop.
Erika, who had eaten Timons's sure-kill kick, ran back to its lair like a wronged little beast. Ash, who had also managed to escape Itsuki's pursuit, ran back here. Originally, he planned to let Erika kill it by himself, but at her strong request, he had to injure himself and apply medicine to her.
Even Ash himself couldn't help but sigh: Really, when did I become so accommodating to them?
"I know it's my fault, but it still hurts..."
