If it were a "protagonist" who was good at speaking sincerely and could even influence the enemy's coldness, he would definitely be able to say more beautiful words now, but the same cannot be said for Ash. He is usually the one who is influenced. Now facing Yuri's questioning, in order to prove himself, he could only say this as he was short of words.
"You didn't, just lie..."
"I'm not lying. I know it's really difficult to believe in me. Sometimes I don't even believe in myself... But as long as there is one percent trust... huh?"
Before Ash could finish speaking, Yuri had already moved forward and hugged his body, proving his choice with actions.
"Obviously I don't even know much about Ash's past, but I still want to trust the store manager who guided us. Why... why can't Ash trust us more?"
Ash, you have hidden too much of the past, and the shell that protects you is too thick. What is your heart really like?
"Well... in short, Little Dark is no longer your enemy. I hope you can get along well."
"Not just her, I hope Ash can also come back to us!"
Yuri's words were heartbreaking, but Ash was speechless.
"I can't go back."
You may feel that the broken connection will one day be reconnected.
But for me, that is yesterday that I can never return to.
"Some things cannot be understood simply by saying them. If it could be done simply, there wouldn't be so many barriers between people in this world."
"But if you still just go your own way, isn't that the reason why you can't eliminate the estrangement at all?"
There was no response. Ash gently pushed Yuri to lie down on the bed, then turned around and left.
He ran away.
Looking at Ash's rather embarrassed figure, Yuri suddenly realized that maybe what he had seen was the part he had deliberately shown, and he was addicted to the tenderness he showed and forgot to explore the truth. In this case, that person who has always been an egoist might be me.
So, where will the real Ash be?
Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still at all.
"Don't even think about escaping—"
Pulling out the needle in his hand, holding the transformer placed next to the pillow in his hand, Tsukikage Yuri chased after him.
I won't let you escape this time as if nothing happened before anything happens!
Absolutely not, give up on you!
"Yuri——So strong!"
Seeing Tsukikage Yuri behind him turn into Cure Moonlight in a burst of brilliance, Ash had no choice but to take out his Spider Stamp.
Well, considering the physical condition, it is better to only use the power of Timons.
"Don't run!"
He escapes.
She chased.
"Crash-"
With the sound of water falling to the ground, the raindrops fell again on such a night, soaking Pretty Cure's long hair and soaking Kamen Rider's spider web armor, just like the day they first met, the day of betrayal, and now.
Chapter 192 Love Faraway (with illustrations)
"Wow!"
Pretty Cure's hand knife cut to Rider was held firmly by the gauntlet, pushing and sending in the direction it came from, and finally punching back, wiping the dripping raincoat on the corner of her clothes. The two of them at this moment were more like dancing than martial arts, a two-person ballet in the rain.
The arms splashed heavily in the rain. Yuri's body was still weak after recovering from a serious illness, while Ash was so distraught that he had no intention of fighting. The two of them exchanged blows on the road and then immediately ended up Ash escaping.
"Uh-"
When she was about to chase her again, Yuri's abdomen, which was slightly bright red under her suit, suddenly felt a sharp pain. The unbearable pain made Yuri's calves tremble and she lost her balance while running. Seeing that she was about to fall into the puddle in front of her, a spider silk stuck to her wrist in time and pulled her up.
"Crack!"
Yuri, who regained his footing, immediately turned around and held the spider silk tightly in his hand.
"Got you."
A pale thunderbolt struck in the clouds and rain together with the rain. The overly bright thunder illuminated the rain-soaked cheeks of the two men, illuminating this unique chase battle.
"You caught me."
In the extremely fine raindrops, the high heels of the moonlight stepped through the curtain of rain, step by step, walked into the alley in front of them, and walked to the spider hanging on the roof with spider silk, hanging upside down in mid-air.
Yuri recognized where they were now. It was the alley where he had picked him up. It was the street corner where he was standing at the moment. He held an umbrella to shield himself from the raindrops while sitting on the ground.
Is she going to start remembering the killing? No, someone once stipulated that time does not flow in the past.
At this moment, the blue night light was the color of tears. She finally met the person she wanted, not in a dream.
"Maybe our meeting was just an illusory dream." But she said so.
"Don't say such things. Now we really exist and are actually alive."
But looking at Pretty Cure in the rain opposite, it made him a little sad.
The wooden ring that once held my longing for me has disappeared...
"Is the person in front of me now Kamen Rider Timons or Ash?"
Only tonight, let's not talk about Pretty Cure, Desert Apostles, or Kamen Rider, just talk about Tsukikage Yuri and Ash.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Ash put his hands on the chin of the spider web helmet. With a sound of air purging, he took off the mask protecting his lips on the lower half of the helmet, and fell to the ground with a crisp metal collision.
The exposed lips of Ash are undoubtedly the gentle smile that can be seen most often when Nasta, but in the rain, this smile gave him a look of embarrassment.
"In the past, I lost a lot, but you gave me a lot, so I want to find the shadow of my father in you, and I want similar warmth."
"But you avoided this question until you finally abandoned me... But you also said that you can't be my father, didn't you?"
Close your eyes and stare, Yuri can see Ash's jet black hair messy in the wind, and her jet black pupils that are so bright that they look like the color of the sky.
"You once lost your father, and my mother divorced my father when I was 6 years old. Similar experiences allowed me to take advantage of your emotional weaknesses."
"Is this your past?" Ash's understatement made her heart tighten even more.
"If I had to have a past, I wish I could have different versions to choose from. That would be more interesting, wouldn't it?"
Yuri heard the sneer in Ash's words. It was obvious that he did not want to talk about the past story, and this exactly reflected the fact that Yuri was completely close to the truth.
"I want your 'fruit', and you want my 'trust'. We can be considered willing to fall into the trap."
Yuri shook his head slightly. Although there are many people with gentle eyes in this world, there is only one person who makes my heart surge from beginning to end.
"I once thought you could treat me gently and guide me with your eyes. But I was wrong. You are not the guide I long for."
In the rain, Ash's seemingly careless smile revealed that he and she were actually more similar in nature in terms of their weak hearts, and Yuri saw it all clearly.
"What you like more is your belt. You hide your reality under the mask and are obsessed with playing the role of Kamen Rider. To us, Pretty Cure is just the power needed to protect the world, but to you, the monster you transformed into is the real you."
Ash's smile remained unchanged, but his mouth was completely silent. After gradually seeing his own heart, Yuri, who was confronting him, was much stronger than before, forcing him into a point of no return several times.
"But in that case, what about the Ash under the Kamen Rider armor? Isn't he worthy of being loved?!"
"Yuri." Ash interrupted her excited voice and immediately shook her head. "The Ash you are talking about may have existed, but it may have disappeared a long time ago."
"And after countless journeys, countless battles, countless intense experiences and forgetfulness." In addition to fatigue, the face that maintained a smile now had a bit of relieved tiredness. "The only thing I can still feel now is the longing for your existence."
"Then I met you, met you..."
In the warmth and miracle of Pretty Cure, I found something that my friends in the past did not have. I think there is a part of you who can understand me, so.
"Moonlight, Duen will probably come to this planet soon. You are already very powerful, and your father and Little Dark will become your strength and help me stop him. After that..."
"After you say that, what about you?"
"..."
"Yuri, I don't want to hurt you anymore. You can either defeat me here or let me go. You have to choose one."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Ash was tired. He decided that if Yuri now felt that the world would be better without him, he would not resist.
"No, I don't have to."
Yuri continued to walk forward, and before Ash could say anything, she held both sides of his head, so that he no longer looked around but could only focus on herself with his only line of sight.
"Be more mature, Ash."
"You are no longer a child."
The rose carries the fragrance in Yuri's heart and blows into the wind of Ash.
Chirp——
Ash couldn't help but lick his lips.
That's the smell of flowers.
He also saw that the ring she had been wearing on her index finger had not disappeared, but had been put on her right middle finger again.
The extremely soft and delicate feeling was refreshing, and the pleasant fragrance that only flower buds could emit made him feel extremely comfortable, almost charming his heart.
The two are like stardust in the night sky.
Each other's words were taken away from them.
Chapter 193 It's obviously me first
On a stormy night, the roar of thunder echoed throughout the world again and again.
"!"
Another bolt of lightning struck down, turning the faces of the three girls leaning against the window pale.
Under the pretext of a girls' pajama party, Erika and Itsuki successfully got a reason to spend the night at Lei's house. In fact, they made an appointment with Yuri. As long as Precure wins, they will immediately come to Lei's house to report that they are safe.
However, the fact is that the three people who had been waiting for good news since dinner continued to wait like this, until the three elves couldn't hold back their sleep and fell down, until Lei's parents also fell asleep chatting about the strange flowers and strange illusions that day.
As good children who always go to bed at 8:30, the three of them, who had also been tired of sleep for a long time, just waited and fell down one after another on Lei's bed, falling asleep one after another. It wasn't until Lei, who was constantly being kicked in the chin by Erika, that she suddenly sneezed and woke everyone up. However, it was already late at night, and they had never experienced such a late hour.
"Well..."
A little afraid of the loud noise of thunder, but also extremely worried about the safety of Yuri, Lei tidied up her pink hair, which was extremely messy due to the sleepover, and held her partner elf Shiffre in her flat arms, feeling a little sad in her heart.
"Hmm..."
In addition to picking up Yuri on his own initiative, Ash has not been heard from since. Erika, who secretly complained that he just sat back and watched this happen, glanced at the mobile phone on the table, and finally did not dial his phone number.
It's not like we can't survive without him! If this troublesome and annoying store manager can only cause trouble, it's better not to come!
"Now, Yuri-nee... Are Cure Moonlight and dark precure still dueling?"
"No, it's been several hours. It should be over anyway, right?"
"Then - um!" Lei was startled again by the thunder outside the window, and like a frightened bunny, Lei hugged the elf even tighter. "Should... will it be Yuri-nee's victory?"
"Of course, as teammates, we know best what Yuri's strength is." He gave full play to his leadership as Student Council President when he was in school, and gradually started to do so because of Ash's words. Itsuki, who had grown her long hair, let golden waves flow across her forehead as she moved. She came closer and let Lei sit between her legs, holding her and Popuri, who was still sleeping, together, conveying courage with silent body movements.
"Cure Moonlight is very powerful. We are the ones who should believe in her the most."
"But..." Erika also moved his buttocks and came closer, with a completely uneasy expression on his face. "It's already this time. We've obviously agreed to come here. Yuri-nee She can't just leave us aside for no reason."
The only reason I can think of, besides Dark Precure, is Ash. It's fine if it's the latter, but if it's really the former...
I don't know why, but looking at the familiar falling rain outside the window, Lei felt that her chest started to feel completely upset, as if something bad was happening... making her upset.
"Is it possible that Yuri-nee... was defeated by Dark Precure?"
"It's impossible!" The one who reacted most excitedly was Erika who was a bit negative at the beginning. "Because, Yuri-nee was the one who defeated Dark Precure after being resurrected! What's more, we also gained Super Silhouette's new power through Heart-Shaking Phantom Mirror. No matter how you look at it, there is no reason to lose to her!"
