————The dividing line between Lei's sulking————
After the two left the unoperated campus festival, they came to Hope Flower City's amusement park. This time Ash "let" the sleeping guard cut two tickets for them, starting the climax of their date.
I don't know if there is any rule that says a date must go to an amusement park or a movie theater.
After giving Lei Shun a sweet cone (and later giving her money), the two of them froze in place because of a problem.
"What did you say, do you still need to rest?" Faced with Lei's strong request, Ash looked quite distressed. "We're obviously still a little short of getting to the jumping machine."
But when faced with Ash's words, Lei, who was usually used to giving in, was determined not to give in this time. She stared at Ash with an angry look and pouting mouth.
"No! Ash's health isn't very good, right? So he must rest!"
As time progressed naturally, the delicate Lei naturally discovered various abnormalities in Ash. Of course, for Ash, as long as he could recover, there would be no serious problems.
"Eh..."
Lei, who was standing in front of him, showed no intention of retreating, which made Ash a little difficult to deal with.
"It should be fine... it's not the first time I've fought with injuries anyway-"
The girl's red ears twitched slightly, and Lei took the initiative to cross her hands in front of Ash.
"Then it's forbidden from now on!"
"It's nothing, it's just a fatal injury anyway..."
"Ha————!?"
Lei's voice increased by eight decibels in one breath, and the cherry-pink color behind her was replaced by a slightly darker background.
Faced with the suddenly terrifying scene, even Ash couldn't help but take two steps back.
"If you have any health problems, you should see a doctor immediately!"
"What, I'm the doctor?"
"You still don't care about your body like this. I can't bear it anymore! Find a place to rest immediately and sit down!"
The soft little animal turned around and became furry. Facing Lei, who did not flinch at this moment and seemed stern but gentle, Ash didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Oh, ohs."
His momentum was overwhelmed, and even sweat was dripping from his forehead. Ash couldn't help but nodded subconsciously.
Really, I originally wanted to try the jumping machine over there, but now I can only...
Inexplicably being scolded by Lei, who was several heads shorter than him, Ash's eyes drifted away for a while, then fell on the Ferris wheel nearby.
Chapter 167 Confession
Although the staff operating the Ferris wheel also fell asleep, it was not a problem for Ash. Here is our second appearance of Little Ball Watermelon!
As the hard-working little watermelon robot below moved the joystick in the control room, the stagnant Ferris wheel began to spin again.
"Well, this can be considered a rest."
Sitting in the semicircular pod of the Ferris wheel, Ash and Lei sat face to face, holding hands in front of each other helplessly.
"Ash-sensei, no matter you are a good person or a bad person, you must take care of your body! Otherwise, wouldn't you be able to accomplish anything?"
"Yes, yes, Master Pretty Cure taught you a lesson."
Faced with Lei's serious lecture, Ash, who had his legs crossed, was naturally perfunctory as usual. No matter what you said, everything was correct, and he covered himself with a quilt under the bridge.
"Mmm... really..."
I was really worried and speechless at the same time, but facing Ash, who looked indifferent to me, the swollen girl was as deflated as a puffer fish.
Really, we will be worried too...
In the Ferris wheel at this moment, the two people sat face to face.
After finishing the cone that Ash bought for herself, Lei subconsciously wanted to lick her sweetened fingers. Then she realized that there was someone sitting across from her. The girl quickly blushed and dried herself with a handkerchief. On the other hand, Ash seemed too relaxed, as if Dun's attack and Gijera's problems had nothing to do with her. She even twisted her butt and changed the direction of her legs.
In the narrow space without saying a word, the girl kept stealing glances at each other, while the man's eyes basically wandered all over the sky, and finally looked through the window at Gijera in the distance.
Gradually, his uneasy eyes narrowed slightly, and Ash saw that the flower buds on Gijera's head began to squirm, and the petals at the tips opened and closed slightly, and it looked like they were about to open.
The girl on the other side focused her eyes on the man's cheek, and couldn't help but start to evaluate him in her heart.
Taking a closer look, Ash-sensei is indeed handsome. No wonder Erika said that he was a nymphomaniac at that time, but when she really started to fall in love with him, it was when he showed his caring side to Yuri-nee.
"We're close to the limit... Is it too late?"
Ash's words interrupted Lei's delusion, and she naturally understood what Ash was referring to.
"I————"
When she heard Ash's words, the girl stood up suddenly, her fists trembling from clenching too much. Just when she was about to open her mouth to say something loudly, Ash put her finger on her lips to block her words.
"Lei, I don't know what you are going to say to me, but I want to wait until you figure out what you are going to say to me before you say this to me."
Seeing Lei's tangled Ash, he didn't want her to hand over the "answer sheet" in a panic, so he gave the girl a way out.
Lei didn't speak, just nodded silently.
In silence, the Ferris wheel cabin carrying the two people rose all the way up amidst the sound of mechanical rotation. When it was about to approach the top position, the girl broke the silence in the cabin.
"Ash knows everything about us, but we don't know anything about Ash... it's so unfair."
"Are you concerned about my affairs?"
"Of course, it's impossible not to care!"
Lei couldn't help but feel excited in her tone. "Sometimes it comforts and encourages us, and sometimes it exudes outright malice and wants to knock us down. Whether it is rough or gentle... it seems there is no gentleness. In short, these contradictory places are all Ash, right? So what is Ash like in other worlds?"
"Other worlds?" Ash showed a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Actually, it's almost the same. In order to make the story more intense and interesting, I will unfold the game in my own way. Both the villain and the hero will naturally participate in it."
"Then you will feel supreme pleasure when you fight with them and watch them show their shining spirit in the darkness. After that, let it develop naturally. Become friends with some people and become mortal enemies with some people... Hmm."
Thinking about it this way, I am not only the best partner of the system, but my life is also pretty regular.
"That's right... Then, why does Ash want to be the manager of the coffee shop this time?"
"You ask this, first of all, I learned it from the hero growth game with that guy evolto." She secretly remembered the name "evolto" in her heart, thinking that if she met this guy who taught Ash bad things in the future, it would be easier for her to settle the score later. "Another reason... is that this coffee really took me a lot of effort to learn."
Speaking of this, Ash actually showed a nostalgic smile.
"I am a genius."
"Whether it's the father who invented the parallel world gear technology, the scientists from the Blue tribe, or the crazy president, they all say that I am also a genius."
"As for the technical and operational aspects of technology, they are always unreasonable and can be understood by just looking at them."
"It doesn't matter if you don't even understand the principles. As long as you feel how it works, you can solve the technical problems with a flash. I guess I can leave it to God to solve."
It can be said that as long as you give full play to your talents, there is no problem with cheating if you rub your hands too much...
"But, I don't like this. I don't like 'genius' abilities that don't require effort. It feels like my choice is determined by others."
This is completely contrary to the principles of the tokusatsu I watched.
Thinking that he was now using his abilities for a tree, he gradually became unfamiliar to himself. Ash showed a somewhat sarcastic smile, clenched his fists, and punched the air a few times, mixing different styles of punches.
"Combat and other abilities were acquired through constant practice and took time. They are all acquired through hard work!"
"Including Mars Coffee, who you always dislike, I am also proud to learn from that basilisk!"
Lei just kept listening without saying anything, only nodding occasionally.
"I've said so much, Sa, Lei, what's your answer?"
The girl then stood up and transformed into the form of Pretty Cure in the surrounding cherry blossom-colored light. It was filled with all the emotions of the girl in six months. A not very loud but completely clear and beautiful voice sounded in the narrow cabin.
"I feel relieved to hear Ash say that. Ash-sensei's heart has not been twisted into a monster like Desertrian. I am convinced. You have always been a human being."
"So, Ash."
Since you are finally willing to tell me, then I must give you and myself the answer.
I don't know whether it was the shyness caused by the truth from the heart or the setting sun outside the window at the moment, which was reflected on the girl's face at the right angle. Her smile was so beautiful and radiant that it had never been seen before. For a moment, Ash couldn't help but stare at it.
"I, like you."
The girl's voice, which contained all her warmth, echoed in the cabin. Ash's eyes widened until the sound slowly dissipated and the cabin became as quiet as no one else.
As the cabin where the two were located moved to the top of the Ferris wheel, the system sent an instruction to Little Ball Watermelon below to activate a certain switch, and a crisp ringing like a bell resounded throughout the amusement park.
Without waiting for Ash to reply, Lei, who smiled at Ash, opened the window next to her, stepped out of the window, and flew in the direction of Gijera on a pink trajectory.
Ash thought of many answers, but Lei's "answer" was completely outside of what he expected.
Leaning his upper body out of the window, Ash looked at the back of Pretty Cure facing Gijera, his expression was lost for a moment as he didn't know what to do.
"Lei!"
Chapter 168: Become stronger! The test is Pretty Cure versus Pretty Cure!
It seems that the outside world caused changes in the dream. The girl who was placed in the bedding experience area of the mall instinctively turned her sleeping body, and her limbs twitched according to instinct.
In the dream, the battle between the girls and their own shadows continues. Whether it is skills or abilities, the opponent's level is exactly the same as their own. If they cannot find a breaking point, I am afraid it will only end in such a bad way that both parties will be exhausted or both will die.
But does the so-called trial necessarily end with defeating the target?
"So are you, and so am I! I've always wanted to become a super idol like Sister Tao, so that's why I daydream like this!"
The blue girl's movements were wide open. "Shadow" grabbed the flaw exposed by Erika due to her words, and kicked her into the underground water with a reverse leg sweep.
As the girls gradually recovered from the intensity of the battle, they realized the relationship between the so-called trial and Gijera.
Especially Erika, who seemed to be as inflexible as Aqua, now understood the situation more clearly through instinct.
"But now I don't envy Sister Tao, but I want to be as outstanding as her!"
Stretching out his limbs and bouncing around on the water with his movements, Erika, who stabilized his feet, showed his growth to the shadow of the past.
"Then why is there still a shadow like me, and why are you instantly confused by Gijera!"
The shadow immediately moved forward with a fist, but facing the approaching shadow, Erika did not respond at all and instead actively opened her hands. Her fist brushed the hair beside her ears, and now that the distance was reduced to zero, she hugged herself like this.
"There's nothing I can do about it, because I'm the same person who can say depressing words!"
When the shadow was stunned by her actions, the blue girl tightened her embrace.
"I don't hate my frizzy self in the past. Regardless of my strengths and weaknesses, I am still myself after all."
And now, there is another guy who is more out of danger than me. Master Erika has to save him!
The two blue girls smiled and hugged each other, turning into light and disappearing from the dream created by Gijera.
"In order to protect everyone and Meidoin-ryu, I will continue to work hard to practice martial arts. Other than that, my personal desires can be discarded!"
Standing in the golden sunflower field, the two Itsukis performed the exact same Meidoin-ryu punches on each other. The air flow from the fists between the fists made a dull sound, blowing up the long golden hair on the girl's back.
Seeing that the opponent's attack was weak, the blond girl immediately found the opportunity to strike directly with her fists, but she didn't expect that this was Itsuki's plan to show weakness to the enemy, so she took this opportunity to seize the opportunity and firmly grasped the hand of "Shadow".
"I practice Meidoin-ryu, not for my brother or others, but because I like it!"
"Whether I like martial arts or cute things, I just need to be honest!"
He quickly turned around and punched himself with the other fist, but at this time, the shadow showed a bitter smile to Itsuki.
"In this case, you no longer need the me who has worked so hard so far?"
The hand that had already been raised caught the fist.
"I want to take it all."
Gently letting go of the fists he held with both hands, Itsuki put his "own" hands together and held them solemnly in front of him.
"Whether it's the stubborn self in the past, everyone in my family and friends, or the person who lacks the light in his heart."
Standing in the sunlight shining from the crack in the dreamland, Itsuki was extremely serious.
"I want to take it all on."
