After hearing Ash's assurance, Yuri, who had been uncertain until now finally relieved, followed his heart and hugged his long-departed friend tightly.
He is right, this kind of thing is not a good thing that can happen all the time...
"Thank you..."
Looking down at Kelong who was stuffed into his arms, countless long-lost words that he wanted to say were all blocked in his throat. In the end, they turned into a silent hug, hugging him tightly. "Mirai" was also his past partner.
"My name is Kelon. Although this is our first meeting... but have we met before? You seem very sad?"
"No... it's nothing." The trembling fingers stroking the elf's soft hair revealed her thoughts, but she just shook her head. "My name is, my name is Yuri... I'm glad to meet you..."
Looking at this touching reunion scene, Ash's originally unhappy face showed a smile again.
Well, let's have some fun now.
"Why, you should forgive me after this, right?" The initial warm-hearted evaluation of Ash in my heart dropped again because of such a straight man speaking.
"I misunderstood without authorization, and it was not you who was wrong... But I am indeed a little angry..." He lowered his head and used his fingers to scratch the dull hair on the top of Ke Long's head skillfully. Looking at Ke Long who was becoming comfortable in his arms as usual, Yuri did not notice that a blue light penetrated into Ash's body when Ash focused on himself.
"Manager, you are such a big person, so don't use the excuse that you don't know the meaning of the ring. So you actually thought of using the ring to scare people. Maybe Lei and Erika were also scared by you, right?"
"After all, this is a very important and beautiful event in life. If the store manager made a joke about this, I would be angry even if there is no misunderstanding. The nature is a bit bad..."
"I'm really sorry, little Yuri. After all, I actually care a lot about little Yuri's attitude towards me~" When Yuri was habitually preaching to Ash, the other party replied to her with a magnetic accent, which immediately gave her goosebumps.
Chapter 120: Present the ring
"What are you talking about? Even if you say such flattering words, you can't..."
Seeing Yuri hiding his panic expression but still holding on to his words, gently lifting his blue highlights with his fingers, Ash smiled sweetly.
"However, I can see that little Yuri cares about me so much. Although I am very sorry for deceiving you, I am really happy."
At some point, Ash, who was wearing a pair of flat black-rimmed glasses, had a bunch of blue highlights on his forehead. In addition, when he dealt with Tsukikage Yuri proficiently, he sounded like a top-notch Cowherd. Yuri, who had never been stared at by such a frivolous and gentle look from Ash, unconsciously had two unhealthy blushes on his face.
What, what's going on, did such happy words really come from the mouth of that inconspicuous store manager?
Could it be said that traveling through time and space can also improve people's emotional intelligence? I have never heard of it!
"I... because of the reaction I care about, I actually said I was very happy..." At this time, he didn't even bother to preach. Yuri was so excited by the few words of "Ash".
"Could it be that what I said..."
"No need to be surprised. My words are for fishing for beautiful things. As long as it is your wish, I am willing to listen to it no matter what it is. You can pour out your heart to me."
If a Interdimensional Traveler loaded with something like "CWM Heroine Strategy System V 2.0" happens to pass by, you can probably see the sound effect of the already dull-minded Yuri's favorability towards Ash rising.
"However, even without words, little Yuri is pouring out his heart to me, since the beautiful you care so much about this ring."
Next, in front of Yuri's increasingly sincere face, Ash actually took off the ring on his finger, and then gently lifted Yuri's fingertips with his right hand.
When Yuri was completely stunned, a group of blue spiritual light was forced out from behind by Ash. Ash, who was frozen in the movement of raising Yuri's fingers, cast an angry look at Urataros behind him from the corner of his eye.
"To make life full of fun, telling a thousand truths is worse than telling one lie~" Urataros in the light group nodded to Ash. "I'm just repaying your previous favor, no need to thank me~"
I thank you big-headed ghost! Really, why don't I consider their mood!?
Fortunately, Yuri's eyes were all focused on Ash's movements, and he did not notice the appearance of Urataros at all.
"Just do the extra stuff..."
He muttered something in a voice that only he could hear, and the man shook his head. At this time, Ash, who was holding the ring, was also ready to shoot. In the spirit of a man who never stops doing anything, he put the ring on Yuri's middle finger without hesitation.
Really, I like this ring very much. After all, it is the pattern decoration that I like. It feels comfortable when worn, so I really can't bear to part with it... Forget it, I picked it up somewhere and I didn't buy it with money. I threw away the water of my child's marriage. If the ring finger is not allowed to be worn, the middle finger is okay, right?
"!"
When Yuri raised his hand in front of him in a daze, when the sunlight behind him was projected onto the ring through a certain angle, the sunlight reflected on the lines of the ring shone with a special dark color, which was really beautiful.
"Well, it's not bad if you wear it."
Hearing Ash's incoherent voice again, Yuri could not help but react. It was difficult to adapt to the feeling and he carefully rubbed and wrapped his middle finger. Yuri, who originally thought it would make him more embarrassed, no longer had a shy expression on his face. It was a beautiful smile that only girls would show when they feel truly happy.
How do I feel now?
I don't know, but I can feel the warmth in my heart, like a flower blooming again.
"Well, it's just something I don't know where it came from. You can do whatever you want with it."
"Thank you, I will definitely cherish this gift."
Ash faced Yuri's smile and couldn't help but tilt his head. Really, if you were looked at like this, wouldn't you be completely unable to refuse?
Not only was Yuri obsessed with the ring on his hand, but Kelong in his arms also twitched his nose while watching this scene, constantly sniffing at the ring.
It always feels... so familiar?
"This seems to be..."
Curious, Kelon decided to try it directly. It didn't matter. An energy pulse containing some information that could be seen with the naked eye was directly introduced into Kelon's body through the elf's soft little hands at the moment of contact. It fell down softly as if a switch had been touched.
"Koron—Koron!"
She never expected such a sudden development, and now Yuri was anxious. Yuri, who had no time to investigate the ring issue, anxiously called its name. Fortunately, Colon, who was not too anxious yet, sat up again in shock from his dying illness.
"Kelong, are you okay? What's going on?"
Before he could reply to Yuri's question, Kolon instantly became worried and looked at the clouds above his head. "Oops Moonlight... no, it's Yuri. Now Heart Tree is in crisis."
As he spoke, the elf's eyes drifted across the two people in front of him. "Now Heart Tree is under attack. In order to save the big tree Mirai that represents the earth and mankind, I hope you can help me!"
Yuri was shocked that Kelong actually spit out a noun that would never appear now, but now is not the time to worry about it. After all, if something happens to Heart Tree, he has to be anxious.
"But how to get up there?"
Although there is no doubt, the current Yuri does not have the power to transform, so it is naturally impossible for him to fly to Heart Tree in the sky. It is even more impossible for the store manager to be just an ordinary person... and so on.
"Store manager, don't you just have a way?" Although there was no basis for it, Yuri suddenly asked such a question.
"Well, after all, you still don't believe me when I say that I came here on a free ride. Let me show you now. Since I can even travel through time, to this extent..." Ash, who was a little surprised by Yuri's acuity, no longer concealed it. "The great thing about your store manager is, don't blink!"
Then, Ash Yangtian, who instantly became extremely serious, raised his head, raised his hand and made an extremely clear snap of his fingers.
"Come on! DenLiner!"
A rainbow-colored tunnel suddenly appeared out of thin air on the signal tower with Ash's back. With the sound of the whistle, along the railway generated out of thin air, the red and white time train passed by the two of them at the snap of Ash's fingers.
Chapter 121 Is it okay to defeat it?
"Store manager, this is..."
Holding Kolon in her arms, Yuri, who became a member of Den-Liner, returned to a calm posture and officially started her ability to observe. Imagin was noisy around, the stewardess greeted her enthusiastically, and the train conductor who was not surprised by her arrival. Her eyes kept wandering around the suspicious train.
Although there was no basis for belief at the time, when such a fact is placed in front of oneself, everyone would be surprised.
"This place... I seem to have seen it somewhere before." But what surprised Yuri more than these was that he actually had a sense of déjà vu in this kind of place.
After a period of exhaustive mental calculations, Yuri successfully locked the clues to the tokusatsu dramas that Ash often watched in the store. It seems that one of them is about a story about electric motorcycles?
"I remember, it's called Den... Dian Wang, right? Although it's just a special feature on TV, it seems to be Kamen Rider?"
Ignoring Ryutaros who shouted "Wow, she actually knows about Den-O!" next to her, Ash sat up from lying on her side in the seat.
"What a surprise. I thought girls were not interested in special effects films."
"After all, it's something the store manager likes, so it's not surprising that I understand it, right?"
Looking at Ash, who was looking at her with an expression on his face, with such an unsmiling smile, Yuri felt that his view of him had changed a little.
"But, generally speaking, characters on TV don't appear in reality, right?"
"What is reality, and what is fiction on TV?" Ash grinned even wider, and his fingers kept tapping on the steel uppers, making a dull sound. "Or is it that Yuri clearly traveled to the past, but still thinks that he is in a normal situation?"
He had no intention of explaining from the beginning, he just allowed Yuri to doubt himself.
"I want to know more about the store manager."
Although it is not good to pry into other people's secrets, Yuri still looks forward to Ash's answer.
Ash is an off-line free man who obviously has the status of store manager but never cares about the turnover and is too lazy to try to make the business prosperous. What's more, he prefers to run out whenever he has something to do instead of doing business in the store. When asked, he said he is working part-time.
Thanks to this place, I have a super high salary but no decent job at all. No wonder Momoka also said that he was basically being taken care of... Ahem, I digress.
Therefore, the three store employees, including their elves, all speculated on what secrets the store manager had. Lei said that the store manager was a playboy who maintained contact with several beauties. Erika said that the store manager was actually a caped hero who would put on a mask when night fell. The most outrageous Itsuki even had such outrageous speculation that the store manager was actually the secret identity of Timons... But the result was never known.
"Would you like some coffee? I'm quite confident in the blended coffee?"
After thanking him, he took the coffee from Kazumi. After briefly tasting the taste, Yuri frowned slightly and drank the rest of the overly sweet coffee.
It's nothing compared to the taste of sparks exploding at the whim of the store manager.
"But please, the store manager, please stop using the excuse that because I like to watch tokusatsu movies, the characters in the tokusatsu movies will come to help me, so I can deceive children?"
"Yes, after all, I really like watching special effects films."
With that said, Ash stopped looking at Yuri after coughing twice. He put down his body and lay back on the hard leather seat.
"Store manager, please be more serious."
"What, doesn't this count as a reason?"
After taking back the pudding that was stolen from Kintaros, Momotaros couldn't help laughing when he heard the conversation between the two after exiting the battlefield.
"You little girl may not know yet, but this guy has always been like this. He never bothers to think about complicated things, and he doesn't know how to read the atmosphere. He is really a guy that I find troublesome."
"No, I know."
Ash I understand that you never look at the atmosphere.
But...
Looking at Ash aside, he was resting his hands on the back of his head, staring at his pair of black eyes with the same color as the universe, staring at the ceiling of Den-Liner. No one except the system knew what he was thinking now.
His own affairs, Erika's affairs, Lei's affairs, and even Itsuki's affairs. Faced with so many things, his performance was not to say that he was very handy, but at least it could be said that he was in a hurry... However, it was not that he did not perform well.
In this way, he doesn't know how to read the atmosphere, doesn't understand... or simply doesn't care about this kind of thing, and is completely too lazy to think about it.
How did he grow up to become such a character?
The current Tsukikage Yuri is still unknown, and the current her is unknown...
[Den-Liner arrives at the station, Den-Liner arrives at the station - current station: Heart Tree! ]
According to the instructions of Kelong in his arms, Den-Liner climbed all the way into the sky and successfully found the floating island where Heart Tree was hidden.
As soon as they got off the car, Ash pulled Yuri's clothes to cover her exposed figure in the shadow of Den-Liner.
"Dang Dang Dang————!"
Along with the slight shaking, Yuri saw countless light projectiles hitting the armor of the train and exploding around the open barrier of Heart Tree.
"This, is this an attack by Desert Apostles?! But it's impossible, they can't find it here now!"
"See clearly, that guy." Ash's gaze looked out using the train as a cover. Yuri also cast his sights on the target and his pupils suddenly shrank. That ferocious bat weirdo was the Imagin who contracted with him!
"Desert Apostles's Desertrian is much cuter than this thing... Heh, are you eyeing Heart Tree? There isn't even a precure at this time, right?"
It turns out that not only the past of the Rider world, but also the past of other worlds are not going to be let go? Kai would be proud of you if he saw it.
"Yeah, so what?"
The man's eyes swept over Yuri, then looked to Heart Tree to the side.
"You go to Heart Tree first, I will attract its attention."
"How could you say such a thing!" Yuri grabbed the man's cuffs tightly as if he was afraid that he would run away as soon as he finished speaking. "It will definitely kill you too. How can I leave you here alone? If you want to go, let's go together..."
"It's okay."
Ash smiled evilly and pointed his thumb behind the other four Imagin who got out of the car in a panic.
"I am now with Kamen Rider."
Having said this, Yuri also understood Ash's decision. With such a decision, he could only come up with his own consciousness.
"I understand, after I... Precure will definitely be here soon."
"Ah, you have to let me have a good look at it then... But."
Ash stood up generously, completely attracting Tian Bat Imagin's attention to himself.
