Just when she was talking about being in the passionate place, Ash walked in and suddenly hit Ash on the head. The man seemed to be helpless and shook his head, but his face was clearly smiling at her.
"Really, you are obviously a righteous hero fighting evil, but you still dare to think of the world in such a simple way. Your clear thoughts that can see the whole thing at a glance are so straightforward."
It's so straightforward that it would make people like me hate myself.
"People who are too straightforward will suffer and be taken advantage of."
For example...
Ash There was something in his words at the moment, but he couldn't hear it.
"What, you suddenly said something about such a huge topic about the world? Let's talk about it!" He covered his head and looked at Ash stubbornly. "I don't understand what an adult like you, who seems to understand everything, is thinking, but you just keep thinking too complicated. That's why the world you see is complicated, right?"
"Ha, it seems that our Miss Little Green is still a philosopher." Hearing Zhi's words, he raised his eyebrows, and Ash asked another question. "Then let me ask you, do you think the world is black and white, or is it a delicate gray?"
"Of course the world is like a rainbow, a world made up of our various colors!"
She asked this question without hesitation, and soon she realized that the other party actually used "Little Green" to refer to her question. Just when the girl was furious and wanted him to correct it, the man suddenly laughed and kept patting her shoulder with his falling hand.
"Well said! Hahaha, maybe the so-called simplicity and straightforwardness are the advantages of you Pretty Cure, right?"
Frankly speaking, is this our advantage...?
"Ash-sensei, do you think I am a redundant person in Pretty Cure?"
Faced with Zhi's sudden inquiry, Ash answered without hesitation.
"Of course not. Have you ever seen any extra team members? How could you have such an idea?"
Taking a deep breath, he turned straight in front of him as if he had made a decision, and bowed deeply to Ash seriously.
"I'm sorry. I saw you and Miyuki and the others being very close to each other earlier. You obviously don't even have the courage to stand up, but I'm jealous of you!"
I thought that since you could replace the existence of the fifth person, it didn't matter whether I was Pretty Cure, but you were definitely not... No, how could you, who is so arrogant, be a substitute for others?
"In my heart, I subconsciously think of you——"
Just as she said that, Ash decisively denied her words.
"No, you're not jealous of me. I know what jealousy looks like."
For some reason, the figure of a blue-haired girl with glasses floated through Ash's mind.
"What you are really unwilling to accept is yourself. You are afraid that you will be left behind by everyone."
"However, as a friend, you are most familiar with them, right?" Ash's eyes drifted to one side and stayed there. "Do you think they would deny you as their friend because of such a thing?"
Ash's words made Zhi silent.
"Look, they're coming."
Just as he was talking, Ash pointed to the side, and after looking straight in the direction, he was pleasantly surprised to see Miyuki and the others who seemed to have been sitting aside waiting for a long time.
Someone tapped her on the shoulder and gave her an encouraging look.
"How about it? It's better to check with them yourself?"
"Xiao Zhi~! Ash!"
Miyuki, who always looked cheerful the whole day, put his palms to his lips like a loudspeaker, waving his hands and shouting their names happily.
"Reika, Miyuki, Yayoi, Akane, the clown—the clown!"
When Zhi was moved, the sudden intrusion made Zhi Deng's eyes widen, and his attention was completely welcomed by the funny arrow-shaped monsters behind Miyuki.
Why is the clown here? Moreover, the big scissors are coming this way too!
"Be careful!"
The sudden intrusion of the monster startled everyone except Ash. As soon as the girls who were a step slow to react took out their transformers from their pockets, the monster shouted "little~ugly~weird", aimed at their direction and rotated the arrow in the opposite direction. Invisible light waves rushed through their bodies, knocking the four approaching people away screaming and flying to Zhi's feet.
"Miyuki! Phew, great."
Extremely nervous, she hurried over to check and found that her friend was just sitting on the ground in pain. She was relieved when there were no wounds on her body, so she stretched out her hand.
"Come on, I'll pull you -"
"Crack!"
The hand that was stretched out was slapped away without mercy.
"What are you doing, don't touch me?"
Miyuki, who always treated others with a smile, slapped away Zhi's hand without hesitation, and his impatience was visible to the naked eye.
"Eh?"
He didn't understand what was going on and turned to the side. When he wanted to say something to Qingmei's Reika, he turned around and saw her looking at him, with extremely obvious disgust in her eyes.
"Stop."
The good friend who once talked about everything quickly dusted himself off and stood up, then mercilessly took a step away from Zhi. His originally cold face was filled with disgust that would make him ecstatic to despair.
"Please don't come near me. I have nothing to say to you, right?"
"Huh?"
His eyes were dazed and he opened his mouth wide. His outstretched hands were frozen in place with no protection.
I...
What's wrong?
Why?
Chapter 76 Who is the one who is not needed?
Putting down the arm in front of him, Ash narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although there is a real feeling of being hit... but there is no feeling of injury. In other words, is it another type of "attack"?
This time, it was really bad.
Ash couldn't help but feel anxious. After all, according to past experience, this kind of invisible and intangible influence is more troublesome than actual damage! Especially in this situation, which is related to the rules system no matter how you look at it, if something goes wrong, even he will want to——!
"Mr. Wang Jian and everyone at Pretty Cure, good afternoon~"
As he was speaking, a voice that was always too sweet appeared again, but this time his voice had a hoarse feel.
"Are you resurrected?"
Looking at the clown who appeared from behind the clown monster, Ash didn't have a good face to show him. "You're really too strong. Rather than being a constant enemy and being beaten down time and time again by the righteous hero, if you lose, how about you just die in peace?"
"Please let me carefully reject this proposal until it is enough to repay your warm hospitality." Lifting a corner of the mask, Guipai showed Ash the traces of the flames left on his face, which were extremely horrifying. "I can't quit so easily~"
Ash crossed his arms, waiting for a few tusks to come out of his dog's mouth.
Guipai glanced at the girls with unabashed malicious eyes and stepped back slightly, as if he was actively inviting Ash to come closer.
"Mr. Wang Jian, you rejected my invitation at the beginning, but you didn't expect that you actually became Pretty Cure's friend in the end. Now as such a... well, nanny, don't you think it's too cheap for you?"
Accepting the challenge without fear, Ash approached and unsheathed the sword Dark Sword Tsukuyomi at his waist.
"Are you provoking me the same way I did before?"
"No, no, no, I'm just stating some facts, right?" It seemed that he was really intimidated by Ash, and Guipai waved his hands at Ash in an exaggerated way. "Compared to the way you are always tied up with them now, I still prefer you who threatened me and would be more evil~"
Ash, who originally only listened to the words of the ghost card as amusement, brought up some hidden emotions when he heard the last sentence.
Fact? Yes... when did I start taking the initiative to restrain myself?
"Mr. Wang Jian, do you like Pretty Cure so much?" A ghost card that reacts extremely sharply to darkness like Tragedy Energy would never let go of the opportunity to shake Ash, and he continued to take the initiative. "Is it really that fun to play with Pretty Cure? Or..."
Ash The curve of the corner of the mouth approaching in front of him was distorted to an almost exaggerated level in an instant. "Do you really think that a born villain like you can always be friends with them?"
"Whether it is a shedding snake or a dragon, even if it knocks out its teeth, sheds its scales, and actively lives in a sheepfold, it is impossible to happily play with kittens, lambs, and puppies and make friends~!"
"Ruck-!"
The sharp knife slashed across the ghost card's original neck. The clown bent back to an exaggerated angle and shot several magic bullets at the man through his crotch. He was well prepared and slashed Dark Sword down in a crescent-like arc. The torn space cracks swallowed up Tragedy Energy's attack, and then the impact of the sudden explosion blew the two away.
"It seems that we are already familiar with each other's routines."
The opponent seems to have figured out the range of his attack and the path of his sword, and he has also mastered the opponent's magic tricks.
Ash squinted at the ghost card's smiling face that made him very unhappy.
If nothing else, it was because that smiling face that seemed to be laughing at everyone reminded him of his past self, making him feel even more unhappy.
"I thought you had something to talk about, but this is what happened." Ash sneered disdainfully and put the holy sword on his shoulder. "Sorry, this topic has passed."
"Whether it's useful or not, Mr. Wang Jian knows better than me, right?" Guipai, who never showed any timidity, had a confident expression on his face that was at the same level as Ash. "But right now, you, pretending to be friends with them, are more worried about her affairs than mine?"
Looking behind him at the arrow clown monster who ran away without fighting Pretty Cure, Ash now confirmed his suspicion about the bad fact.
"Hmph, after the direction of the arrow started to rotate, the clown monster also reversed its feelings~" Like any qualified villain, Guipai explained the process of his plan very thoughtfully. "Isn't it great that heaven will turn to hell and love to hate?"
After all, she is the only Pretty Cure who cannot transform yet. How can we, Tragedy Kingdom, not use this breakthrough to turn her into a real "tragedy"?
"What happens next will be interesting. For you who pretended to be their 'partner', wouldn't it be more painful to watch the tragedy happen to her!?"
Without even having a chance to shout "Wait a minute!" to Ash, Guipai took the clown and moved away from the place.
"Are you kidding me?" Ash felt more uncomfortable with Guipai's proud appearance in front of him than if he felt defeated. "Do you think this will definitely defeat me?"
The man's hand on the hilt of the sword tightened harder and harder.
The former good friends did not hesitate to move away from Zhi, who was still frozen in place due to the excessive blow. By the time she reacted, they had already moved away from a vacuum circle around Zhi.
I just couldn't understand it, and I didn't know what was happening.
"Everyone, what happened?"
She didn't even care about the threat of the clown. She only felt that she was calling their names one by one with increasing anxiety, but no one responded to her.
"Akane-Akane?!"
"Huh? We haven't called each other by names yet, have we?"
Akane, who was usually very enthusiastic towards others, actually threw her head to the side, not even wanting to make eye contact with Nao.
"Wait a minute, Akane, we—we have always been competing to be the best rivals, right? How can you say that?"
"You've always lost to me, even recently, so can you be considered an opponent?" Akane, with her arms folded, glanced disdainfully at the panicked green girl. "We have no plans to make good friends with our defeated generals."
"Mi...Yayoi?"
Extremely panicked, he hurriedly looked at the gentlest Yayoi, hoping to get a gentle response from her, but he saw the girl tremblingly blocking the picture book in front of him.
"Oh, no, don't look over here!"
"What, what's wrong, Yayoi? Haven't we always been friends?"
"No! Don't come near me!"
Eager to get an answer, he looked straight at the crying and shouting yellow-haired girl in front of him, and a very bad mood rose in his chest.
Is it because of the clown? But what's wrong with everyone? Aren't we... friends? Or are we?
Am I really... no longer needed by everyone?
Chapter 77: About Pretty Cure being bullied too
There was a story in ancient Greek mythology. Sisyphus offended the gods, so in order to punish him, the gods asked him to push a huge boulder to the top of the mountain. The boulder was too heavy and would eventually roll down before it reached the bottom, and all previous efforts were wasted.
The punishment made him endlessly repeat this kind of pain. Now Nao Midorikawa has realized what it feels like to constantly repeat the pain. She called her friends' names over and over again, but all she could get were extremely indifferent, even disgusting replies.
how so! Akane, Reika! What's wrong with everyone?
Panic, fear, sadness, sadness, entanglement - it is hard to imagine that so many negative emotions could appear on the face of Nao Midorikawa, who acts boldly.
A bad idea came into her mind, but she didn't want to believe it.
Some people are born with lonely personalities, which makes it difficult for them to have friends; some people can use their sweet words to make others take the initiative to be their friends; and some people always cherish and cherish everything they have obtained.
Nao Midorikawa is the latter. As a person who attaches great importance to the friendship and family around them, the disgust on Miyuki's and their faces at this moment is completely opposite to the past, which makes her feel more uncomfortable than killing her.
Smile Pretty Cure ignored him and turned around to leave. They were still smiling together, but this time there was one missing girl among their companions.
