Really, it's all my fault that Sword made me watch too many bad endings. If the cadres of the Tragedy Kingdom are only at this level, except for the clown who may need to pay more attention, I can handle the rest by myself!
"You! You look like you are so powerful, you say it so lightly, be careful you are the one who suffers!" Whether it was because of his complacency or his "despicable" behavior, Akane, who couldn't stand Ash's appearance at all, started to argue with him dissatisfied. "Besides, we all saw that you waited until Miyuki and the others were in a hard fight before you came out. They were obviously fighting hard, so don't make it sound like everyone is your accessory!"
"The most important role is, of course, the last one to appear."
"It's so easy to say, but everyone is worried!"
Ash has a good relationship with Hoshizora Miyuki, but it does not mean that he will get along with the other four Pretty Cure.
Ash can understand why they don't welcome him. Ash himself doesn't have the habit of putting a hot face on a cold butt, even if the cold butt belongs to Pretty Cure.
So the relationship between them became stagnant.
Ash I'm afraid there's still a long way to go before he can be recognized by all the heroes in this world.
"It's all due to my efforts." Ash took out the broken Rider Book and nodded as he watched the remaining Tragedy Energy being sucked into it after the battle. "What a beautiful win."
"Here we go again, you love to show off so much, are you a primary school student?" Feeling tired, he couldn't help but sigh, and put his fist on his head, which he couldn't help but lower.
What's going on with this guy... Why is he so complacent, like my younger brothers? No, although my brother is naughty, at least he listens to my sister. This guy is not as cute as them at all!
At this time, hiding behind Nao Midorikawa who was sighing, Yayoi, who recalled the unpleasant encounter with Ash's proud look, showed a rather subtle expression on his face.
After the original strong enemy was defeated, the protagonist's sincere heart was inspired and he became a partner to fight against the enemy together. Although this kind of plot is the kind of royal development that makes the audience ignite in special photography and cartoons, but why is it so annoying when it is changed to reality now...
Seeing Ash's proud nose almost turned up to the sky, Yayoi pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, and the hand carefully placed on his chest grabbed his collar uneasily.
It's so annoying... Even if he says he has become our companion, he is still so annoying. This person is obviously the one who joined our side in the cartoon, right?
But after being cleansed, why do he still look like a bad guy? Also, has this person's personality become weird?
Thinking of the way Ash "cheated" her, and the scene of inexplicably preaching to her, tears of grievance could not help but seep out from the corners of Yayoi's eyes.
"Yayoi, I hate this person..."
"Okay, okay, Akane, no need to say any more. Look at that, Ash-sensei is also working hard to help us...!" Before the quarrel between Ash and Akane was about to turn into a real fight, a panicked Miyuki quickly ran out to mediate the relationship between the two parties.
It's just that she is clumsy and doesn't know how to calm down and reconcile both parties. She can only desperately play the role of a middleman that is not suitable for her, desperately trying to ease the relationship between the two parties. "Isn't it great to be able to defeat the clown? Anyway, let's go to Incredible Library to celebrate this victory as usual hahahahaha... How about it?"
"Miyuki, you are too innocent and kind to give in to such a person!" Akane, who could not feel Ash's sincerity at all, finally couldn't bear the anger she had accumulated so far. Angry, she took out the tarnished Smile Pact from her pocket.
"That's enough! Hurry up and give us your power. We are your partners in fighting with Miyuki!"
Not only Akane, Nao and Yayoi also took out the transformer's makeup box one after another. Rather than just watching Ash's activity, they wanted to use their actual power to help Miyuki and the others.
Since you said you have become our partner, it is natural to make up for your previous mistakes, right?
But faced with their request, Ash shook his head.
"Why?"
"It's not impossible, it's just that it can't be done." Ash closed his eyes and slowly mused, "Dark Sword Tsukuyomi can seal the Holy Sword. When paired with my [Omni-Adapter] ability, it can also achieve the ability to seal other powers. However, it is not that simple to release it. At least I can't do it for you."
After all, in order to prevent you from lifting the seal yourself and ruining my plan, I also mixed Dark Echo into the seal.
"In fact, if you want to lift the seal, you can do it yourself." At this point, Ash's original casual attitude suddenly became serious. "As long as you can use your awareness and desire to call on the power hidden within to break the seal, and let the power of the legendary warrior respond to you, you will definitely be able to transform again."
After listening to Ash's words, expressions of hope reappeared on the girls' faces. However, this hope was shattered by Ash's next words before they could last for long.
"But with what you are now, can you still do it?"
Chapter 34 Lonely Yayoi
Just like except Miyuki, the other Pretty Cures find it difficult to identify with Ash.
Except for the outstanding Aoki Reika and the simple-minded Hoshizora Miyuki, Ash also did not recognize the other three.
"It would be better to say that if you can't even do this, then compared to the dangers you may encounter at any time in battle." After saying that, Ash returned to his original self-satisfied look and glanced at the three of them with a rather subtle look. "It's better not to be Pretty Cure, okay?"
"Are you looking down on us?! We are obviously recognized warriors too!"
"No, I'm just saying." Ash shrugged, seemingly unintentionally. "Compared with the dangers you may encounter due to lack of strength, at least for now, your family and friends won't be worried about you, right?"
People of this age should naturally understand that when they gain such power, they should also be prepared to be aware of it accordingly.
"... Damn it!" The three girls with their heads lowered clenched their fists, but they were defeated by Ash's last words.
What they have to admit is that they are losing their transformation energy and can't do anything now.
It seems that what is missing is the awareness and courage mentioned by Ash.
Back then, in order to protect their companions, they used their human bodies to stand in front of the bad guys of the Tragedy Kingdom, so they gained recognition and became Pretty Cure.
But when such a thing appears in front of them again, they have become mortals again and have lost the momentum they had at the beginning. Can they make such a choice again?
At least now that they are being asked by Ash, they cannot give their own answers.
"Hmph." Ash adjusted the non-existent glasses on the bridge of his nose, not feeling the slightest bit guilty about the blow he had caused them. "Otherwise, what kind of Mirai do you think I saw that would make me seal the transformer?"
He has said it many times.
What can you protect if you rely only on your mind?
Needless to say, yellow is the worst performer, orange has only firepower but is extremely immature, and green is always troubled by various worries... Although he has met many examples of characters who can correspond to them in his past travels, Ash is not their father, and considering the situation in the two worlds in the past, he does not want to have any close relationships with unnecessary people.
I'm too lazy to play the role of a guide! I just dropped the words, I, Ash, was defeated by the Tragedy Kingdom, opened my mouth and closed my eyes, so I didn't bother to care about their business!
"Tangtang, I hate this tense atmosphere, Kulu..."
As the Elf Tangtang who is even more innocent than Miyuki, she also finds it difficult to trust Ash, but she also does not understand how other people have conflicts and quarrels with him. She just cannot accept the very bad atmosphere in the team that has become very bad after joining Ash.
Could it be that Miyuki's decision to invite him was really wrong?
"After all, he is probably someone who lives in a different world than us."
Holding Tangtang in her arms, Reika, who was watching the whole process, let out a long sigh.
"We haven't found a way to achieve mutual understanding with him yet."
Her intuition told her that this embarrassing and embarrassing situation would probably last for a long time in the future.
The result of this battle was an unhappy ending due to Ash's deliberate actions.
"If it were before, I wouldn't mind treating you to ice cream, but now..."
Ash did not go all the way back with them, but the keen Ash noticed that not only him, but also the little girl who looked like a yellow mushroom parted ways with them and walked elsewhere.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter to me anyway..."
[Ash, after all, it was your fault last time, so let's follow you this time. ]
"Alas——" Ash sighed. "Really, what did I do? I obviously hate trouble the most."
He said this on his lips, but after being reminded by the system, Ash, who felt a little moved in his heart, still followed up with a sense of integrity.
Probably, it was because of myself that I felt a disharmonious aura that was contrary to the smile.
Before becoming Pretty Cure and becoming friends with Miyuki and others, Kise Yayoi was a lonely child.
As a small and cute girl, she likes boyish characters like giant robots, tokusatsu and heroic warriors in cartoons. Even her own expertise and interests are drawing comics, which are always classified as boys' stories.
Therefore, as a girl, she does not have the same topics of interest as girls of the same age. Similarly, as a girl, she cannot play with boys. After all, little boys of this age regard playing with girls as a very shameful thing.
Such a lonely girl, she was always alone until she became Pretty Cure.
It wasn't until she met the innocent Miyuki, the straightforward and passionate Akane and the gentle Reika that she gained an irreplaceable partner, and she could gradually open up her lonely heart and the lonely yet firm tenderness behind her timid expression.
But this warmth later disappeared in the hands of the man. Having lost her identity as a hero, she also lost the courage to move forward with her companions, and she seemed to be alone again.
Although I hate that man, sometimes even Yayoi himself feels that what the other person said may be right... The name of hero is inherently inconsistent with his timid self. For him, Pretty Cure may really be just a dream-like existence.
"There's no one else here, right?"
After bidding farewell to his companions in advance, Yayoi, who was extremely depressed, held a blank drawing book and found a quiet park bench. The pencil in his hand made a delicate sound on the white paper, drawing beautiful traces.
This is a habit she has developed since the past in order to relieve the troubles and loneliness in her heart. Yayoi is used to diving into the brush in her hand with the same concentration alone and painting the picture in her heart.
As long as she waves the pen in her hand like this, she can leave her loneliness and worries behind and immerse herself in a world of simple and happy creation.
She was emotionally invested in every stroke of her hand. She was so attentive that she didn't notice anyone approaching from behind. She didn't notice that there was someone leaning behind his chair, watching every stroke of her.
"Huh~" Time always flies when you are focused and focused. Looking at the completed painting in your hand, a simple smile appeared on Yayoi's face. "Okay, now it's done!"
"Well, the painting is great. I feel like I could submit it to a magazine."
A man's sincere voice rose from behind him, and Yayoi who praised him chuckled sheepishly.
"Hehe, I'm just painting for fun, I'm not that powerful yet - ah!"
It wasn't until he was giggling happily that Yayoi realized that the voice talking to him was so familiar... and annoying at the same time.
The hot breath on the back of her neck made the hair on the back of the girl's neck stand up. When Yayoi, who had a frozen smile on her face, mechanically turned her neck behind her, Ash's indifferent face came into view.
Chapter 35 Ash is very good at making girls cry
"Yo"
Ash expressionlessly raised two fingers and flicked them forward, giving a distinctive greeting to the girl in front of him.
With Ash's movements, the complexion on Yayoi's cheeks gradually turned from fair to red, as if he was drunk. His formerly stiff smile became shy, and there were a few beads of sweat on his forehead.
So close...
The faces are too close, if you want to kiss - you will kiss me on the face!!!
"Eeeeeeeeeeeee-!"
Holding his picture book in his arms, Yayoi, blushing and heart-beating, ejected from the bench. In order to stay away from the male face that was almost leaning on his face, he sat back directly on the ground.
"Oh~" Ash, who had quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her collar. "You were so careless, you almost fell, didn't you?"
"No, don't!" Seeing that his collar was about to be pulled away and the snow-white skin about to be exposed from his neck, he couldn't help but think of Yayoi in the comics, who was about to cry out. "Don't touch, let me go!"
"?" The inexplicable Ash shrugged, loosened his hand as he wished, and watched her fall to the ground with a groan.
"Really." Even Ash couldn't help but want to complain about the girl's pained and timid look. "I'm not a big murderer... compared to this, let me see."
"Wait a minute, this is mine, give it back to me!"
What I drew this time was... bad, bad! Don't let him see it! If this arrogant person sees it, he will definitely bully me severely!
Although he thought so, Yayoi's weak strength was almost non-existent to Ash, so without any hindrance, he took the picture book into his hand with the girl's tearless expression, flipped it over and unfolded it to the newly drawn side.
Looking carefully at the content on the screen in front of him, Ash showed no dissatisfaction under Yayoi's fearful eyes. Instead, the corner of his mouth curled up because he felt funny.
"This world is in 2014, which happens to be the year of fourze and Tokumei Sentai."
So on this page of white paper, Yayoi drew strokes with a pencil, using simple lines to outline a dynamic and handsome character. It is the character "Kamen Rider Fourze (Fourze)" who wears armor like a space suit, bears Rocket Head and has a pair of bright eyes as a symbol.
Of course, what Yayoi draws is not only fourze Rider, but also another Kamen Rider above it, that is... him.
To be precise, Yayoi drew a picture of "fourze (Fourze)" using Rocket Switch to beat "calibur (King Sword)". With her concise and capable brushwork, she vividly displayed a dynamic JUMP comic-level storyboard. Even Ash couldn't help but want to praise her skills, which was probably only inferior to a few of her painter friends.
Thinking of this, Ash looked at her with a simple smile. Now Yayoi, who was holding his head and squatting in defense, lowered his head even further.
Yayoi doesn't have a good opinion of Ash.
After all, when this hanging man first appeared, he had a dark and profound look. He looked like a tokusatsu drama type of early-mid-stage villain BOSS who despises others. Now even if he is cleansed, he still looks like a man who sees people with his nose and does whatever he wants. He will definitely bully me!
What's even more unexpected is that someone else has caught him doing this. He secretly used comics to fantasize about the diss scene opposite him. Yayoi, whose inner villain almost turned into a screamer, didn't dare to think about what he was about to encounter next.
"I... wu..."
Ash stretched his neck and leaned closer, and more small whining sounds came from Yayoi.
"Oh... wuwuwu... no, it's disgusting..."
Originally, Ash had no strange thoughts, but seeing the appearance of Yayoi, a timid little animal that could not escape, a strange and simple curiosity began to appear, like the idea of flooding an ant nest with water, which made Ash unable to help but want to bully her more.
"You don't have to be afraid~" The hot air blowing from her ears made Yayoi's back begin to tremble, and the "Smiling Tiger" with a very evil smile now focused on her. "I'm not a good person~"
Ash's intentionally gentle but underlying cold tone was like a seed planted that took root and sprouted in Yayoi's heart.
"No, don't eat me...!"
A handsome but dark man with a squinting smile approached the cute girl who knew nothing about it... It was such a familiar scene that she wouldn't be surprised if the man suddenly used his power to turn himself into a monster in the next second. At this moment, it was obvious that his heart was calling her frantically to run away, but the girl couldn't even move her legs.
"No, no, no, I'm not Giant Ant Beast, and I'm not an Amazon. How can you accuse me of cannibalism out of thin air? Besides, you're such a green little thing, and you're not enough for me to stuff between my teeth."
"Please, forgive me...!" Yayoi, who was crying and slurred, was frightened by the merciless teasing of the man in front of her. She was soft and waxy and just wanted to be alone to vent her inner grievances. Why did this happen to her!
