Lei and Erika quickly went left and right to catch Itsuki, who was bounced away. However, Dark Precure, who was hit by the same attack on the other side, was only pushed back a certain distance. After that, they pushed their high heels into the ground to stabilize their bodies and continued to stare at them with their cold eyes.
Dark Precure thought of the man who supported Tsukikage Yuri before. Although he had never seen it before, the look in his eyes... or that look was so similar to the look in Timons's eyes that he would occasionally show when he was happy!
Could it be that Timons betrayed and went to Pretty Cure... Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Thinking of this, Dark Precure's murderous intention increased sharply!
"Damn it, so strong, too strong!" With constant fighting and the store manager's encouragement, the two of them, who gradually overcame their fear of fighting and their youthfulness, have gradually grown into warriors who match Itsuki. Even if they have to compete one-on-one with the other three cadres, they have a good chance of winning, but now the three of them face Dark Precure together, but they still can't get enough.
"Is the gap just that big?" Lei couldn't help but think of the countless dreams transmitted through Heart Tree. The opponent was Moonlight Angel who defeated his old enemy that day and became a lingering nightmare for the girls.
In other words, the only one who can compete with the opponent one on one is Yuri-nee...
Looking back, I caught a glimpse of Tsukikage Yuri who was placed on the bench and covered with Ash's coat. After contracting with Imagin, her eyes lost their look, and her body like a puppet on strings dropped more gray dust from the gaps in the bench.
"Everyone, we must persevere!"
Until Ash rescues Yuri-nee, you must guard her!
"This kind of battle..."
Hidden behind the green plants in the park, watching the fierce battle performed by only four women in front of him, his pupils were trembling and his hands were shaking in shock.
I actually wanted to join such a battle...
After this period of time, Eddie also knew how insignificant and arrogant his own power was compared to the invincible commander.
I know quite clearly that there is no way I can defeat such a terrifying enemy... However, it is clear that the girls in this world, known as Pretty Cure, are fighting, and they are still in trouble because of this. I...
"I, can't I..." The dejected Eddie naturally felt numerous withdrawals in his heart. When he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of a note on his chest signed by Hope Flower City, who had been helped by him.
These are all evidence of what he can do, of the hero he wants to be every step of the way.
I've obviously done so much, now, I can't just shy away from it just for other reasons, right?
"I..."
His fingers were still trembling, but they moved the key box at his waist and pulled out the blue Magical Bullet Key.
"Now, can't we just go up?"
The horror on his face was replaced by an expression of anger at his own timidity. As a man, he stood up from the green plants, pulled out the Dragon Strike Sword from behind and rushed into the battlefield.
"Now, we have no choice but to go up!"
At the same time, a few years ago, Ash stumbled off the train.
"Really, what a small-minded adult."
This was good, because he offended the train conductor and was kicked off early. I don't know why, but Imagin, who usually would immediately start wreaking havoc when he returned to the past world, didn't attack immediately, so the four Imagins on the Den-Liner dispersed to search for that guy. I really didn't know what to do next.
When he was distressed, Ash sensed something and took out the seal to cover his body, and Kain with a bad expression emerged from his body.
"You obviously didn't forget it but you did it on purpose. Of course you will be hated by others..."
"Compared to this kind of thing, why were you completely silent the whole way?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kain lying on the side of the pool in a humane manner, with a large rainbow pouring out of his mouth.
"As you said... it's for this reason... ugh——"
"Ha, don't say you got motion sickness?" Ash won't believe it. He doesn't get motion sickness himself, but the devil can actually get motion sickness... Is it funny?
"Because Den-Liner is full of the smell of past memories... It makes the devil feel uncomfortable no matter what... ugh——"
"What kind of setting is this?"
When one person and one demon were speechless, Kain suddenly saw a familiar color flashing across the corner of the other side of the alley, causing him to point there immediately.
"Is that Yuri?"
"No, this is much younger than Yuri. It seems to be the same age as Lei and the others?"
At this time, Ash, the smaller version of Yuri they call him, is passing by with an indelible sad expression. There is no doubt that it should be Tsukikage Yuri in this world.
While Ash's brain was thinking rapidly, another familiar purple color broke in from behind.
It's close, it's really close...
Following quietly, Tsukikage Yuri bit her lower lip nervously as she looked at herself who still knew nothing about Mirai in the past.
I will never forget it no matter what. As long as a few minutes pass, that encounter will change my destiny again.
So what I'm going to do... what I'm going to do next...
Just as Yuri was getting closer to her past self, a hand came over and tapped Yuri twice on her shoulder, which frightened her out of her wits.
"This is a really sad encounter." The man's low and slightly sad voice sounded, causing Yuri's figure to turn around and freeze in place.
And this voice - it is impossible to hear at this time, the voice of the person I want to hear the most but also the person I don't want to hear the most!
"I didn't expect that my lovely shop assistant Yuri would actually be a stalker who would target children."
The self-blame in his tone was brought to the extreme, and Ash, who is full of acting talent, covered his face with sadness in his voice.
"But in order to prevent you from making mistakes, I can only bear the pain and call the police to report it. Yuri, if you want to hate me, then hate me."
Chapter 116 Ash's argument is broken!
Wiping the (non-existent) tears from the corners of his eyes, a serious expression reappeared on the man's face, so Ash took out his phone "sadly" with Yuri's indifferent expression.
"Although it is very sad, as your store manager, I have the obligation to correct the mistakes of my own store clerk... Goodbye Yuri, I will miss you in the detention center too."
"You must correct it! Your own mistakes."
Tsukikage Yuri stepped forward with an expressionless face and patted away Ash's hand that was pretending to be making a phone call.
"Because I have always lectured the store manager who was too off-line in the past, so if I get the chance this time, does the store manager want to regain his face and preach to me?"
"After all, Yuri usually has a hard time finding weak points in defense. If we don't seize such an opportunity, it would be a pity if it slipped away, right?"
Putting the phone back in his pocket, after seeing that the unhidden tension in Yuri's eyes had dissipated a lot, the corners of the man's smiling mouth also raised a higher arc. Wither
"So in today's era... Oops, why would Tsukikage Yuri, a senior in high school, appear at a time when he should still be a junior high school student? If he travels through time randomly, there might be a blue raccoon cat driving a time machine and an elementary school student with glasses to come and cause trouble."
"Shop manager, at this time, Ash will meet Tsukikage Yuri, which is a complete super-travel behavior, right?"
"Compared with this, please explain to the idiot Ms. Tsukikage Yuri, who is clearly a former member of Pretty Cure, why she signed a contract with the monster Imagin who looks suspicious at first glance. Please explain it carefully."
The two engaged in a heated exchange of words, with a high-intensity verbal exchange between you and me, as if they were biting a sword with their lips and vowing to break through the weak points of each other's defense.
"Really, I originally thought that you should be such a calm-minded person, but you are different from the last purple one who can only charge your brain." As he said that, Ash covered his face in a very exaggerated manner. "Turns out, you're dumber than her. Now, if HeartCatch Pretty Cure's team is trying to sell cute little idiots to readers, Lei and Erika are enough. Personalities like yours are really inconsistent."
"Gu... who is the idiot..." Yuri, who made a dissatisfied voice, turned her head away with a slightly red face. She was indeed at a disadvantage in the verbal exchange.
"Anyway, if you want to ask about the origin, I came here on a ride." The conversation changed. Ash no longer wanted to hold on to Yuri's affairs. He chose to explain his origin before taking a step back. "Now it's your turn to explain. Tell me, what is your wish? Why are there two different versions of you in this world?"
"The target is some other time or something. Did the store manager take Doraemon's ride?" Without too much entanglement, since Ash was already standing in front of him, he couldn't fool him. Yuri let out a long sigh. "I have many wishes. I want to find my missing father, I want to defeat Desert Apostles, I have friends I want to save, and..."
Yuri did not continue speaking, but glanced at Ash and quickly looked away.
"Because it asked me, I said it, saying that I wanted to go back to the day when I became Pretty Cure... and then it became like this."
Ash pinched her chin. It seemed that Imagin sent her to this time. At the same time, this day happened to be the most profound day in her memory, so she met Tsukikage Yuri from the current world line and Yuri from junior high school here. No wonder it happened like this, they both met.
"Then idiot Yuri knows that Imagin will go back to the past and wreak havoc. Although he hasn't done anything yet, once he does it, Yuri you will become an accomplice."
"This-"
Seeing Yuri's surprised and stunned look, Ash sighed. Thinking about it, it was impossible for Imagin to tell her these unnecessary words.
"I don't know... Now! Can we just ask the Flower Angel at this time to think of a solution?"
Who would have thought that just saying one's wish would actually come true?
"The good news is that there are professionals taking care of it now. You don't need to worry about it this time." He raised his hand and held Yuri in his arms affectionately. Ash hit her on the top of the head with a moderate force. "Don't eat candy given by strangers casually. Didn't your mother teach you this simple truth?"
"That's why I said you're an idiot!"
Another blow, the violent shock that Pink and Blue had experienced before hit Yuri's head. She instinctively wanted to retort, but she opened her mouth and closed it again.
And...
The golden ring was still shining on the finger, Yuri silently pushed away Ash beside him.
"If the goal is other times, there will be other times, but the reason why today is unforgettable is because this is the day you become Pretty Cure."
"..."
Even after such a long time, I still can't forget the day when my heart was covered with shadows and I collided face to face with Kolon who fell from the sky.
"I see, then, you have only one purpose." Taking out the toy cigarette butts and dome hat that he took out from nowhere, Ash started to argue seriously. "That means you are ready to go back to the past, take one step ahead of your former self, and gain the power of Pretty Cure again. It's wonderful! It's really wonderful. For the purpose, even your past self can..."
"That's not true!"
What is the truth of this? Do ordinary people think this way?
The crow flying in the sky looked back, and the pedestrians on the roadside also looked at Yuri in shock, who made an angry sound. After coughing twice, Yuri held back his anger and closed his mouth.
He took Yuri's hand and quickly walked to another place. Ash, whose currency did not match the year number, rubbed some gold particles from the inventory, took two bottles of drinks and handed one of them to Yuri.
"I... lost. I was defeated in the siege of Dark Precure and Dr. Sabaku."
Yuri, who was rubbing the bottle with his fingers, could feel the coldness of the drink after it was frozen, just like the temperature of his heart at this moment. Speaking of her tragic past is like tearing apart her scars, so she is describing her true wishes in an extremely tired tone.
"My partner Kolon also died in the battle to protect me... I am so useless... So in order to defeat Desert Apostles, in order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, I want Koron to choose a more suitable person to become Precure on this day..."
Even if this happens, I will never be able to meet Kolon again... or even the store manager, Rei, and the others...
"It's impossible."
As soon as Yuri finished speaking, Ash decisively rejected her statement with a serious expression.
The drink can was put aside, and Ash's bright pupils were telling a fact.
"This kind of thing cannot be done."
Chapter 117 The misunderstanding is resolved
"Tsukikage Yuri, now I can't see the steel will and iron determination you once had."
"So, I want to try..."
"No need to try. I have seen similar ideas and similar endings. Your approach is meaningless. Even if it succeeds, it is just creating a parallel world."
"You've seen it before... anyway, it's just what the store manager saw on TV and comics!"
When something you finally make up your mind to do is randomly vetoed, no matter how calm you are, you will get angry, and Yuri is no exception.
"I just know." Ash still had that extremely calm face, but there was a vague sense of oppression coming towards Yuri. "And what I know is that what you do is tantamount to insulting me and Itsuki, and insulting the feelings of your most important friends."
So, even Ash is a little angry.
"What I said is the truth. You are just wasting your efforts, or..."
"Are you just escaping and planning to use this kind of thing to escape the pain of the past and present?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuri saw Ash's face filled with pain and distortion for a moment, and then she felt uncontrollable anger.
Although she used to have a venomous tongue at Ash, generally speaking, things and guidance in the store would still abide by Ash's instructions, but now looking at Ash's serious face, a certain angry and rebellious heart emerged from her heart.
"What... teaching others a lesson or something, what are you talking about!" Finally, Yuri, who always dealt with others politely even if he was cold, broke out in front of Ash for the first time. "It's always been like this, it's always been like this, what do you know!"
"I understand everything." Ash, who kept a calm face, directly faced Yuri, and his aggressive attitude gave her no chance to fight back. "Tsukikage Yuri, you chose to become Pretty Cure in order to get out of the shadow of your father's disappearance. You wanted to fill your lost heart with a sense of responsibility and the companionship of elves, and you did fulfill the responsibility of Pretty Cure, but you lost everything when you were about to succeed."
"Then I met, helped, and funded you, and then we met Lei, Erika, and Itsuki. Looking at the bond between the new Pretty Cure and myself, the power of friendship will heal your heart... It should be like this, so the things you did make me angry."
"Why are you so angry?"
Yuri's seemingly unreasonable words stopped Ash. That's right, the current Yuri is no longer even Cure Moonlight, nor does he intend to take this as a goal. A useless guy has lost its value. I should give up on her with disdain and wait for her to figure it out or sink into it.
But now I am angry, even preaching to her? Why... could it be said that the person I care about more than Cure Moonlight now... is Tsukikage Yuri?
"Only people would say such things because they are important to each other. Otherwise, where do you think I came from to beat up a good person?"
Finding an excuse that wasn't an excuse, Ash tried to explain away his feelings.
These words once made Yuri choke up. Don't you already have someone you like? Why do you still care about my affairs now and treat me with such a gentle attitude?
"It used to be... it is now. To you, it's just because I used to be Pretty Cure..."
