"Nothing!" Without trying to pull her hand away, she took the initiative to rotate her body, almost sending herself into Ash's arms, along with her fierce elbow.
"The Nasta Café store manager in my heart, the gentle Ash, died that day!"
"Crack!"
He jumped up to avoid Lei's whipping leg, and at some point he raised his palm to his chest to receive the elbow attack.
"Right now, I am fighting to defeat Timons, the murderer of Ash!"
Venting out the anger in his heart in another way, Yuri's whole body was wrapped with purple aura as the power of his words increased, and he took the initiative to fully lean his upper body into Ash, actually knocking him back a few steps.
"Moonlight Silver Impact!"
Yuri, who was following closely behind, put her palm against Ash's abdomen. The silver-purple flash of light expanded in the gap. The trick she had used to repel Dark Precure was applied to Ash at zero distance.
With a bang, Lei quickly put his hands in front of his eyes to defend against the strong wind, and the smoke that exploded covered the two of them.
Chapter 155 Realism and Romanticism
"Moonlight—Ash!"
Lei stood up in a panic and shouted into the smoke. She was so anxious that no one had time to reply.
The smoke caused by the Yuri shock wave slowly dissipated under the surrounding breeze, revealing the two people interacting in strange postures below.
Ash took Yuri's hand and held her up high together. The other hand that Yuri originally aimed at her chest and slapped away with her backhand was grasped by Ash's dragon-clawed hand that also stretched out.
The two of them locked their fingers tightly with each other, and the high-temperature smoke caused by the energy that had nowhere to vent continued to slowly leak out from the gaps in the palms. The red claws that passed through the gaps between the girl's fingers continued to scratch the back of Yuri's delicate hands.
"Dang~!"
As Ash exerted his strength, as if following the rhythm of the ballroom dance, Ash held Yuri's slender waist and brought her closer to his arms. His forehead under the purple sea came closer to touch the golden peak on the top of the helmet. The red and blue eyepieces reflected two completely different looks of Tsukikage Yuri.
"I'm not so fragile that I won't be able to fight anymore if I lose someone!"
Quickly switching the positions of her arms, with an astonishingly flexible body, she almost broke free by folding her arms, then put her arms back on the other person's neck, and then forced him to separate from her with force.
"I will continue to fight until my heart is full!"
"Hahaha, not bad! That's the tone!"
He let go of Yuri's hand and faced the two men's attack again. The movements of Ash's hands seemed to be drawing some kind of circle rules. There was some kind of skill in the irresistible strength. He pushed away all the fists that Yuri and Lei kept swinging in one breath.
"Tsukikage Yuri, it seems that I didn't see the wrong person, my vision was indeed correct!"
The shawl on their left hand was lifted in their direction. When the girls waved their fists and hit it, they were surprised to find that it didn't hit the entity below at all. Before they had time to react, they were hit hard from behind and knocked to the ground. Ash appeared behind them like magic.
With this shawl with the desertification function, Ash broke through the speed range of several seconds and successfully upgraded to the terrifying level of teleportation.
"If you plan to fill my heart too, why not give it a try?"
"——Don't underestimate it!"
The girl's offensive increased again. Just when Ash wanted to continue playing tricks on them, she saw Dark Precure turning in front of her like the wind, raising her hand to catch Yuri's attack.
"Ash, exchanged!"
"Yeah, yeah, you are such a careful person."
Dark Precure took away the position of Yuri's opponent without any explanation. Ash's opponent suddenly became the combination of old rivals Lei and Erika. Of course, there was no dissatisfaction. He tilted his neck slightly and made a crisp sound. Ash stepped forward to meet the enemy.
"FANG!"
Without mercy, the two wire-guided weapons named fangs by Ash on both sides of the waist were launched. The fangs controlled by spider silk ropes behind the back could even be directed by Ash to draw dazzling anti-gravity trajectories in the air, performing a dazzling wild horse show.
Attacked from all directions, the two people had no choice but to dodge left and right while being chased by the fangs piercing up and down, flying up and down in mid-air on a web of spider silk!
"Wow!" Erika put on a funny and frightening posture in the air, and flew past another fang. Although her forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, she still persisted.
Store manager, no matter what you are trying to do, you are definitely using too much force! This is not qualified at all!
"Then, absolutely, absolutely punch this smug egomaniac in the face!"
"Hey, hey, hey, are you contradicting what you are saying?"
Seeing Erika's movements deformed due to his words, and being knocked away and almost bursting with clothes, Ash held his forehead in embarrassment. He lowered his head and looked at the fist that penetrated the chest from behind. The body of Ash, who was standing there and was hit from behind by Lei, instantly collapsed into gravel, and then appeared seamlessly from the other side.
"Hey, Lei, you talk very little today."
"You seem to have cared about me a lot since we first met. Why are you so calm now?"
Hearing the voice of Ash, Lei put away her fists and slowly regained her breath. Her body paused, and her arms that clenched her fists trembled slightly.
"Although everyone, including me, thinks your heart is too weak, the faith you showed on that day really impressed me deeply."
With a steady pace, Ash stepped closer to the eyes that tilted his head and did not meet his own eyes.
"Could it be that you are trying to hold on to something in yourself?"
The words were like ringing the bell of silence in the girl's heart.
"——"
Lei once again assumed a fighting stance against him.
Ash also successfully took this opportunity to see her eyes, but in front of this look, the man who was about to do something rarely stopped.
This was the first time he had seen someone make such an expression towards him.
There were unshed tears in the eyes of the cherry-colored girl who faced the red Rider, but strong courage could be seen shining deep in her eyes full of weakness and timidity.
Two completely contradictory emotions appeared in a girl at the same time.
Is this also the reason why she can insist on fighting with him now without feeling broken by the bond she broke?
"What's going on..."
He couldn't help but take a few steps back, and Ash's men covered his heart meaningfully.
What's going on? My plan has obviously been decided.
I'm just doing what I want as always, and it doesn't matter what kind of "monster" I become in the eyes of others.
But why, when I was stared at by those tearful cherry-colored eyes, just by being looked at with such determination, my heart... felt like it was being grabbed - pain and regret?
"I... have been shaken?"
At this time, he seemed to be caught between empathic guilt and absolute self, realism and romanticism.
How--possible!?
"Ash—Ash!"
At some point, the voice of Little Dark, who was protecting him, appeared next to him again and woke him up.
"What's wrong!?"
"No..."
After shaking his somewhat unclear head, Ash released the link on his neck and took off the helmet, revealing his sweaty face underneath.
"That's enough..."
Turning Scarlet Timons's helmet in his hand and looking at the red and blue eyepiece, Ash's fingers gently scraped the non-existent dust on it.
"My purpose... this level is far from enough! As long as the result can be achieved, anything is fine!"
"What are you talking about again?"
While others were confused by his soliloquy, something falling from the sky attracted their attention.
Something like a meteor fell from the sky with a burning trail behind it, making a monster-like scream. Pretty Cure's eyes widened, watching as this "meteor" was about to smash into Hope Flower City's green belt.
"Here he comes."
He put the helmet back on calmly, and an automatic program was projected into the internal mask at the corresponding time, asking Ash if it needed to be executed.
"Ah, let's begin, a new stage."
At this time, in the empty Nasta Café, with the sound of gas being released, a translucent oval glass cover rolled to the ground.
Chapter 156 Gijera, bloom
"What do you mean?"
Not only Pretty Cure were confused by what he said about the medicine he was selling, but even Dark Precure looked confused.
Aren't we here to kill them completely today?
"That's what it means."
Ash raised his hand to point in a certain direction, and when they looked along where Ash pointed, they immediately reacted.
That is, the direction of Nasta Café!?
Before anyone could ask questions, they heard the sound of shaking from the earth, as if something had broken through the restraints of the earth's crust. With a loud noise, a green vine branch, so huge and thick that it took several people to hug it to form a circle, came out from the direction of Nasta Café, twisting and climbing to point directly in the direction of the "meteor" falling.
"Na——Nasta Café quilt?!"
Itsuki, who had sharp eyes, calculated the direction and saw the inexplicably familiar wood fragments attached to the vines that were constantly drilling out. They turned out to be Nasta's door sign.
It seems that that strange plant probably grew out of Nasta Café, which means——!
Itsuki, whose jaw was already wide open to the point where he couldn't close it, turned his attention to a certain "store manager" who was indifferent.
This is yours - not only yours, but also our important memory!
"Unforgettable emotions don't need to be placed on dead things." Ash snapped his fingers to help the others regain their senses. Ash seemed to have seen what Itsuki was thinking. "If you are worried about this, I will help you solve it now."
"You-!"
The eyes of the four girls were almost red at this moment. Although they knew that what Ash said seemed reasonable, but... But this is really too much, isn't it?
"What's that?"
Of course, Pretty Cure and Ash were not the only ones who saw the huge "shooting star" and the growing plants. Such large movements and ostentatious behavior could be seen by almost anyone with eyes in Hope Flower City.
"Is it a flower? It's so big. I've never seen such a big flower before."
For example, the current Hanasaki Rei family, Lei's parents, run a flower shop named after their family name. Just as the couple was sighing, they suddenly noticed something out of the corner of their eyes and quickly turned their attention to the potted plants behind them.
"Has this kind of flower been in our store recently?"
"It shouldn't be that my husband, this flower... I have no image at all?"
When the couple was feeling quite strange about the small yellow flowers that had appeared in the potted plant in front of them, a stream of light yellow pollen spurted out from the flower's powder sac, covering the area right in front of the two of them.
"Cough cough cough, this pollen..."
The two people who were suddenly sprayed with pollen coughed instinctively. Just when they were frowning and feeling quite confused, joy suddenly surged from their hearts, and a vivid and beautiful picture was sketched in front of them.
They saw that the family, who were busy at work and slightly estranged, put aside all the difficulties in their lives, and the family was having fun and playing happily.
The frowned brows naturally relaxed, and the confused and slightly uneasy expressions were instantly dominated by pure joy and happiness. The couple hugged each other happily and called each other sillyly.
"Husband~"
"What the hell~"
With Hope Flower City as the center and outwards, people constantly find beautiful little yellow flowers growing out of every corner they are familiar with.
When someone approaches out of curiosity, he will always sleep or lie down on the ground with a satisfied and happy smile.
Today's battle between the two giants did not attract large-scale exclamations in the city, probably because of this Kotori.
More and more people are sleeping with peaceful expressions, and only the light yellow pollen dispersed from the powder sacs reflects beautiful light in the air.
The meteor trailing a burning trail fell to the ground, and the spherical shell suddenly began to unfold from the cracks on the surface, eventually transforming into a black horned monster that was as tall as a studio monster.
"————!"
Standing on the earth, the monster waved its sharp claws and let out a terrifying roar from its throat that was unlike anything humans could make, causing the girls to instinctively cover their ears.
"That one belongs to Lord Duen..."
Of course, this huge monster Dark Precure is a huge monster that evolved from the Desert Seed shot by Duen's portable base, Planet City. It has the power of regeneration and single-machine suppression of the planet's surface. Its function is enough to wither everything on the living planet and reach the level of complete desertification. It can be called the sweeping robot Duen developed for himself.
But being able to launch Desertrian means that it is actually very close to the earth?
"Ash, is this also part of your game?"
