Obviously, it was not easy to become the same existence as the heroes he longed for.
Weakly picking up the ineffective dressing box that had fallen in front of him, he knelt on the ground in despair and let out a cry of grief that made the listeners sad and the listeners in tears.
"Smile-smile-put-makeup-box!"
Chapter 8 Miyuki: I can't understand the riddle.
"Dark Sword Tsukuyomi", which was born in the fantasy world, is a special one among all holy swords. In order to prevent other holy swords from being abused by those with evil minds, in addition to cutting space to move and absorbing and rebounding attacks of any attribute, it also has the powerful ability to allow the user to predict Mirai!
But this prediction Mirai cannot be used by you to buy lottery tickets. Dark Sword will definitely predict the worst Mirai direction for the user, which is the so-called bad end!
It's not that what you see in the prophecy will definitely come true, but if you don't do anything, this Mirai will probably come back to you!
He glanced at the orange, yellow, and green three who were hugging each other and crying on the ground. Although he had an extremely bad attitude and did such evil things that would make people hate him, from a personal sense Ash actually didn't hate them.
Because of this, when they saw Mirai countless times, their shrill screams when they called out the name "Ash!" for the last time, and the miserable scenes of their flowers withering away and disappearing, really left a big shadow on him.
It was like a variety of bad endings designed by the most evil screenwriter. Even based on his experience, it was too much. He didn't like this development.
"Why... aren't you Kamen Rider..." Yayoi was lying on the ground, holding a makeup box. There was no resentment in his tearful eyes, only incomprehensible sadness. "Why do you do such an outrageous thing to us? We haven't done anything yet..."
"Why...Ash——" Just as Ash opened his mouth to answer, the crying face of Yayoi in front of him suddenly distorted and changed, and Yayoi's upper body was lying on the ground. 's body was completely soaked in bright red color, and the original fluffy hairstyle was scattered on the ground and stained with the color of life. The originally sad eyes now only had empty despair, and the last remaining obsession stretched out a trembling hand to the man in front of him.
"It hurts...Ash, why should this happen to me... I don't want to die..."
"Help me... I don't want to die..." In the end, the last trace of the desire for survival in the girl's eyes faded away, and her raised hand fell weakly to the ground, sinking into the bright red sea beneath her like a drowning person.
Gritting his teeth, Ash immediately stretched out his hand, trying to grab the last hand that was about to sink to the bottom along with the gurgling bubbles.
"Huh——?" When he opened his eyes again, Ash saw that his palm, covered with sharp gauntlets, was gently touching the girl's tearful cheek, making an ambiguous movement as if he was holding her face up.
"It's because you haven't done anything yet."
"Whoa-!"
Yayoi lost her support and fell to the ground again. The grievance in Mugen's heart made her cry louder and louder, which also made Ash firm in her belief that she was the right one.
"Why, what have you done, Kuru!"
The result of sealing the transformer made the three girls lose their will to fight. The elf Tangtang, whose eyes were filled with disbelief, held up the makeup box and the accessories for transformation. No matter how they were combined, there was no reaction, as if the original Fairy Tale Kingdom sacred object had turned into a plastic toy without batteries.
"This is - these are all hopes to resist the tragic ending!" The doll-sized Tangtang jumped to Ash's feet and stubbornly punched and kicked him. Her puzzled depression and anger made her eager to find the answer in the man. "Why are you doing this! Aren't you a human being in this world? Why - do you want the world to fall into the worst ending?!"
"Wrong answer, the only thing I pursue is the truth of the world." If Ash had been in the past, she might have kicked her back, but now the man who was in a bad mood pinched the back of her neck and let her punch and kick her in the air while she kept crying.
Looking at the little one in front of him, he pulled Jaaku Dragon out of his belt and released the transformation. Dark Sword Tsukuyomi was casually carried on the man's shoulders.
"I think the ending between a hero and the world must be solemn and serious." Tangtang, who was lifted up and slipped into the air, gradually turned her face to face Ash as the gravity rotated. "I only ask you one question. If the hope in your mouth turns into despair, is there any way you can reverse this outcome?"
"Tangtang, Tangtang, Tangtang will never give up Pretty Cure's Kuru no matter what!" Tangtang, who originally thought she would be treated badly, unexpectedly met a pair of dead eyes that hinted at fatigue. She felt something but didn't quite understand what she was feeling. Tangtang mustered up the courage to express her feelings.
"What can you protect with just your mind?"
"Tangtang - what are you talking about? Tangtang can't understand what you're saying!"
I'm just an elf who came out of the Fairy Tale Kingdom. Why do you say such strange things?
"Tangtang!" A voice that slightly surprised Ash sounded from in front of her. It was Miyuki who had previously landed on her head and now stood up shaking Yuyu. Bright red blood dripped from her forehead down the bridge of her nose, but she didn't care at all about the pain that made her dizzy. She just stared at Tangtang held in Ash's hand.
Miyuki once had a quarrel with Tangtang, an elf, and even said very outrageous things. However, Tangtang, who ran away angrily and was caught by the enemy, still struggled to break away from her restraints and helped them in time when she saw them fighting. From that time on, Miyuki hid this feeling in her heart and vowed to help each other as good partners.
"No matter what you want to say to us, it's fine, but Tangtang has done nothing wrong. Although she usually behaves mischievously, she has always worked hard to help us." Even if he was almost unsteady after taking three steps, Miyuki still stretched out his hand to snatch Tangtang back.
"Put down Tangtang, she is our important friend!"
When I first entered the world of Pretty Cure, Ash really didn't have a good look at elves because of some magical girl works I had occasionally seen in the past. But after experiencing the bond between them several times and playing with them several times, Ash no longer looks down on these little creatures, just because they also have more beautiful hearts than humans.
"But Precure, even if it was once planted and grew into an extremely beautiful flower, it will be destroyed mercilessly." Speaking in Chinese with unknown meaning, Ash turned his wrist and threw the lamb elf into Miyuki's arms, causing her body to shake and sit on the ground again.
"Everything happens by chance, but the result is as inevitable as fate."
Mirai has terrible predictions. It is precisely because of this ability that the users of Dark Sword Tsukuyomi in the past generations have been people who walked alone with heavy shackles.
"Thank you, thank you -" Miyuki, who hugged Tangtang, subconsciously thanked the man in front of her. When she raised her head following the movement, she looked at Ash's gaze, or to be precise, at the thing behind him. The girl's eyes suddenly widened.
"Be careful behind you!"
Chapter 9 Ash will dominate the world
As a stupid girl who couldn't even score 30 points in the "External Language and Mathematics" test every year, Miyuki naturally couldn't understand a word of the literary "riddles" Ash said.
She only knew that the result of discussing the matter was that they were beaten up by him, and even Yayoi's transformers were sealed. He was really a bad guy! But he returned Tangtang without any embarrassment, and there seemed to be no malice in his words emotionally, so it didn't seem that bad?
So when she saw the huge red-nosed clown running towards Ash from behind, she immediately issued an instinctive warning.
Of course, Ash had naturally noticed the noise comparable to a tank crashing towards him.
Ash, who was carrying the sword, did not speak, but turned around and "stabbed" straight in the back with his sight that could "kill people with his eyes".
"——!" He didn't say a word during the whole process. Just because the development of the world exceeded expectations, Pretty Cure, whom he had always wanted to defeat, was actually solved by others. Only then did Wolfurun notice that the clown had actually run out on his own. The tail on the back of the werewolf was so stimulated by the sight that it stood on end.
This guy is a dangerous person, even a human being is dangerous. You must not attack him or I may be killed!
"Little - clown!" A group of panicked Wolfurun quickly directed the clown to move its target. "Now, go and fight those nasty Pretty Cure away!"
That's right, none of the Pretty Cures have the power to fight back now. It's time to take advantage of this moment to defeat them in one breath and snatch all the Cure Decors back! Being able to let other people take a good look at my greatness without messing with this god of plague at all is a great achievement!
After receiving the instruction, the clown monster moved away reluctantly. The huge and funny figure walked past Ash with rumbling footsteps that shook the earth and ran toward the panicked Pretty Cures in front of him!
"Wow -" Seeing the monster running towards him, he lost his ability to transform and couldn't even resist. He quickly pulled his frustrated companions to escape, but how could they be dragged down faster than the huge monster that was moving forward?
It's too late!
"Clown!"
Seeing the funny red fist raised high like a sandbag about to be smashed down, Miyuki was afraid and couldn't bear to face the next scene, holding Tangtang in his arms, closing his eyes and squatting on the ground.
Is our story over here?
Ash, whose suit clothes had been swept away, slowly raised Dark Sword above his head, then twisted his wrist and pointed the tip of the blade at the clown in front of him.
"You, what do you want to do?!" I obviously didn't want to attack you!
"Shut up and watch carefully, puppy." Ash deliberately used his colder-than-ice attitude to plant the seeds of fear in the other person's heart. "Then, engrave my strength in your eyes!"
Recalling the teachings of his sword master, he devoted all his mind and attention to this sword, and remained extremely calm even in such a chaotic battlefield.
"Well -" Yuyu woke up with his head covered and Reika opened his eyes and saw the man in the suit who had knocked him down, holding a sword between him and the clown monster.
It was obvious that he had been defeated suddenly and unreasonably not long ago, but now this is again——how unbelievable?
"My name is [King Sword] (Calibur)! It is the sword of the evil dragon!!"
Ash took a deep breath, suddenly opened his eyes again, kicked off his right foot lightly, and instantly rushed to the clown monster's side with everyone watching.
The golden light, which cannot be emitted by the structure of human eyeballs, seemed to be emitted from the depths of the man's pupils.
"Cut it in two!"
Ash, who didn't even transform and relied on only one man and one sword, roared angrily and slashed down the arm-long holy sword with a force far exceeding its own!
Dark Sword Tsukuyomi In the huge barrier full of tragic endings, he forcibly broke through a gap in the sky that blocked all despair. Following the trajectory of the sword, a crescent moon was drawn in mid-air that cut across the huge body of the clown monster. Then, as the man turned around, he followed the trajectory and added a brand new sword light!
"The things that [Dark Sword Tsukuyomi] can chop off are almost——"
Behind the clown monster, who raised his arms high but his whole body was trembling as if he had been pressed the freeze button, Ash clamped the blade of the sword with his raised arms and steadily dropped the dark energy from the blade in one go, completing the "blood vibration" action in which no blood was flying.
"No!"
What fell together with Ash was the body of the clown monster that was separated vertically from the midline of the body. After swaying and losing support, it fell to the left and right sides respectively. A small jewelry popped out from the inside and fell into Ash's hand.
"He actually—defeated the clown monster Kuru with a sword?!"
Today, Tangtang was shocked more times throughout the day than in the past week. After all, the clowns who are Pretty Cure's enemies are all evil incarnations that were cursed after the healing ornaments that were originally the source of the Fairy Tale Kingdom's power lead to a tragic ending. Of course, they are existences that can only be defeated with the purified power of Pretty Cures.
In this case, how could he ignore such rules and directly knock down the clown and take out the accessories inside?
"We... were saved by this man?" Equally unbelievable was Aoki Reika, who had completely witnessed what Ash had done. She never thought that anger and gratitude for being saved could appear in the same person at the same time. This elegant girl looked up at the dark back of the man holding the sword, and an unprecedented strange emotion gradually grew in her heart.
Ash took the small fruit-shaped ornament and could feel the extremely pure power from it. This must be the "Cure Decor" that Pretty Cure said he needed to collect, right?
Just right, it can be used by me.
"I've decided."
Along with the clown monster, the tragedy barrier that enveloped the world also disappeared. After the influence of the tragic ending lost its effect, ordinary people began to wake up from the ground one after another. Ash left alone in front of both the pros and cons, and no one dared to stop it.
"Next, I will rule this world."
As long as the darkness of Evil King Dragon is allowed to envelope the world, even tragedy cannot invade this place.
"!" Faced with such a villain-like declaration, the reactions of the pros and cons were completely different. Ash, who could guess their reactions, also turned around and smiled.
"If you think you can stop me, then give it a try."
"Wait!" An unknown voice called Ash from behind.
"Wang Jian, who are you?!"
"You will understand what kind of existence I am." Ash didn't want to say more. If he said too much, it would shift the world line to other bad ends, which would cause unnecessary trouble for him.
He just smiled with a smileless face and walked into the distance.
"One day!"
Chapter 10 An unexpected gain
When she came home with a broken forehead, Miyuki's mother was shocked by the appearance of her daughter.
After all, although my child is not smart and doesn't like to study much, he is not the kind of bad boy who would pick fights with others, right? Could it be that he accidentally tripped himself? This is quite possible.
"Why did it happen like this?" He dipped a cotton swab in the anti-inflammatory solution and applied it on the scratched wound as gently as possible. Seeing tears shining in the corners of his daughter's eyes and shaking when the wound was irritated, Hoshizora Ikuyo was heartbroken. "Does it hurt? How about we go to the hospital?"
"It's okay, I just accidentally bumped into the wall when I was playing with my friends today, hehe." Not wanting to make her mother worry more about herself, Miyuki quickly put on her usual carefree smile in an attempt to fool her.
"It's just a little painful. I drink milk every day, so I'm healthy. It doesn't matter!"
In reality, it is true that I am fighting with others, but after all, I am Pretty Cure. I have to be as strong as Cinderella in the fairy tale - ah, it hurts! Even if it is Cinderella or Pretty Cure, it will hurt where it should hurt!
Miyuki's self-righteous smile was completely distorted as she gasped in pain. At this time, she didn't know that her poor acting skills were completely noticed by her mother. Ikuyo, who noticed that her daughter was hiding something, did not ask further questions, but gently leaned her face closer, blowing soft breeze from her red lips and brushing the wound.
"Huh~ It's okay, it's okay, mommy will help you make the pain go away~!"
"Really~ Mom, I'm not a child anymore!" Seeing that he was treated in such a childish manner, Miyuki, who was lying in her mother's arms, couldn't help pouting awkwardly. At the same time, the warm smile in her heart seemed to really blow away the pain on her forehead.
"To mother, no matter how old Miyuki is, he is still her mother's child." Slowly patting his daughter's slightly arched back, Ikuyo gently pressed her index finger on Miyuki's lips, raising the arc of a smile. "Besides, Miyuki looks better when he keeps smiling."
"Mom..."
"Miyuki, Mom doesn't know what happened to you, but remember, you can come to Mom at any time, and Mom will share everything with you."
"As long as Miyuki you can always 'Smile', that is the greatest satisfaction for me."
"Mom is so gentle."
Miyuki, who had a bandage on his head, closed the door to his room. As if his whole body had lost all strength, he sighed and sat on the ground, leaning against the door panel and hugging his knees.
But whether it's Tragedy Kingdom, Pretty Cure, or that [Wang Jian] thing, everything cannot be said! I'm sorry... Mom.
"Smile?" He raised the corners of his mouth with both hands to make a smiling expression, but when he let go, his expression fell back to an unhappy look.
The enemy who threatened to rule the world, even more evil than in fairy tales, defeated them overwhelmingly. Even Cure Decor was taken away this time. What's even worse is that the transformers of Akane, Nao and Yayoi were even sealed and lost the qualification to transform. How could I still laugh after something like this happened?
"Uhhhhhhh~!"
Miyuki hadn't been depressed for half a minute when he started making strange noises, screaming and rolling on the ground while scratching his croissant hair into a mess.
"Why am I sulking alone here! I hate it. Sighing and looking sad at the same time is not my style at all!"
Really, where has my always optimistic style gone now!?
"Miyuki..."
