The virtual panel shook Yuyu and flew to the top of Ash's head, and patted it gently.

Chapter 85 Pretty Cure's outrage
"Everyone...!"
Looking at the Pretty Cures who fell weakly to the ground after defeat, and could only let out painful cries from their throats, but could not even lift a finger, the trembling Nao Midorikawas' mouths were full of unbelievable sounds. She couldn't imagine why it would be like this.
Aren't we the chosen "legendary warrior" - Pretty Cure (precure)? Why would we lose? It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense!?
"Hurry..."
Kneeling on the ground, he saw Reika lying on the ground in front of him, covered in wounds, desperately reaching out to him.
"Hurry up... escape..."
Run away, should I run away? But, leaving everyone here or something——
"Yes, you should run away. You should run away quickly."
The eerie sound coming from behind scared her almost out of her mind. The cool feeling on her neck seemed to be deliberately keeping her, and then he stretched out his long tongue with interest, licking her sense of despair and fear.
"After all, you can't do anything but run away? Besides, don't they no longer regard you as a friend, so of course you will be allowed to leave them and run away like this, right?"
"This-how is this possible?"
This voice that frightened Zhi so much that she didn't dare to turn her head seemed to be a mixture of the voices of Guipai and Ash that she had been afraid of.
"Hurry up and despair about this ending. The only despair that you have been left behind - the transformed Tragedy Energy must become Piero/Dark Echo's best nourishment! Hahahaha!"
"Wow-"
He screamed and jumped up from the bed, covering his still unconscious face in disbelief.
"It's a dream..." But, can it only be a dream?
It's not anyone else, but me. That ghost card deliberately reversed everyone's opinion of me. There is definitely some conspiracy against us.
But no matter what I want to do, everyone no longer regards me as a friend.
"Even so..."
Thinking of the almost suffocating desperate scene in the dream, Zhi Zhi, who was still trembling in his heart, clenched the quilt at hand tightly.
"Absolutely, I won't let this happen!"
At the same time, it is also an agreement and will definitely be changed to show him!
For some reason, the clown monster that was always the first to cause trouble for them in the past just showed up in front of them following the ghost card and disappeared without a trace. It did not unfold the Tragedy Barrier or even collect Tragedy Energy, as if it was lurking in wait for something.
Miyuki Of course they don't understand what the enemy is up to this time. Could it be said that the strategy has changed? But no matter what kind of conspiracy, we will not be afraid anymore, because excluding the unexpected "spoiler" Ash, the beautiful girls of Smiling Light have never suffered defeat so far!
On the second day of searching for traces of the clown monster, Pretty Cure happened to hear news from others that they were suspected of seeing the monster. When they rushed over, they unexpectedly found that everyone was gathered on the green field yesterday.
"Have you also heard such news?"
"However, no matter how you look at it, there is no trace of the Tragedy Kingdom. Could it be that it is just a joke and false information?"
It was here yesterday that they were attacked by a clown monster, and now they did not expect to be back here again. Akane raised her hand and looked in front of her for a while but did not see the clown monster. But at this moment, a green figure with a busy back to them appeared in the sight of the girls.
"Laugh with you yeah yeah~? Let's drive away the feeling of crying~?"
Hearing the familiar voice in the humming song, the originally calm mood of the girls instantly turned into discomfort and disgust like eating flies, as if some meme had been triggered.
"Why are you here?" Akane spoke unceremoniously. "Could it be that you spread these rumors? Do you know what you are doing by making trouble like this?!"
Sure enough, this person is so annoying! I thought there was something wrong before, it was just a misunderstanding!
"Hahaha, I asked a member of the football club to help me talk about these things to bring you here. I'm so sorry~" This time, Zhi was not so shocked that she could stand up due to the bad words. She walked over holding something with her trademark hearty laugh.
"Everyone seems to have misunderstood me recently. If there was anything wrong with what I did before, then I apologize!" She said with a very sincere gesture, holding her hands in the shape of a plate and bringing it to everyone.
"These are my gifts, let us become harmonious again!"
Ash, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Sure enough, it's the little girl's way... will this work?
Facing Nao who was all smiles, even Miyuki, who always laughed the most, laughed out loud. The timid Yayoi hid behind Akane. When Nao took a step closer, they took a step back.
"Tsk." Reika tilted his head to the side in disdain, so bored that he didn't even want to see her stupidity. "That's why we were called out."
"Don't say that, Reika~"
"I helped my dad with carpentry work for a long time, and the reward he gave me was these natto dumpling candies... Haha, even though it has such a strange taste, it still tastes very--"
"Please respect yourself, Miss Midorikawa." The ruthless Reika directly pushed away the palm that was about to reach her face. "Aren't our words clear enough?"
With the tapping movement, the candies held in the palms tilted down one after another, and the wrapping paper rolled down among the green grass, reflecting the bright light under the sun's rays.
"Ah..."
Looking at the candies scattered on the ground, he was stunned for a few seconds, then he quickly knelt down on the ground with a silly smile and tried to pick them up.
"It's okay. If it falls on the ground for less than three seconds, you can still eat it! It doesn't matter if it gets dirty, just give it to me!"
"Stop being like this." Miyuki, whose face was cold for some reason, walked past Zhi. "Why do you have to have a good relationship with us and become friends? It's obvious that we hate you now!"
"You should cherish yourself more!"
The candy in her hand fell to the ground because she was too panicked. She quickly raised her head and met Akane's eyes as she passed by. Her words were not as gentle as Miyuki.
"We are the ones who keep talking, so don't you have any other friends?"
She lowered her head and hurriedly picked up the candies, but paused at this moment. The natto dumpling candies covered with gravel on the green grass were squeezed tightly in her hands, and the wrapping paper made a creaking sound in her palms.
Chapter 86: Just learn to never give up
Haha... it's really too much.
Having said such outrageous words, Akane, I really want to punch her - but I can't do this!
Because it was never them who was wrong!
Zhi's hand slowly relaxed again.
"What you said is indeed correct." The forced silly joy on his face could no longer be maintained, and the vulnerability of a young girl was clearly revealed at this moment.
"Even if I were not there from the beginning, you would definitely be able to find Pretty Cure who is more suitable than me."
Just like Ash said, if there is nothing from the beginning... But I just think that this is not possible!
"But don't you think this is weird?!"
The girl came to Reika as fast as the wind, and against her twisted will at this time, she wanted to make her look at him.
"Obviously, you and I have known each other as friends since childhood! You and Akane are also mutually recognized competitors!"
"Once upon a time, I was able to transform into Cure March when I faced a clown that wanted to hurt my family and you!"
"In the past, we used to talk about everything. Not only were we Pretty Cure together, we were also good friends who could share a secret base!"
Now it's just because of the clown's reversal ability, it's just a rule that has been reversed!
"We are so cold now——"
"Don't you think this is weird?!"
Ash was not the only one secretly watching all this happen. The ghost tag with the clown monster was hiding around the green field with the help of Witch Reina's props that could hide his whereabouts.
"This is really a funny performance." Looking at the four people who were scolding them angrily, Guipai pinched his too sharp chin with the corners of his mouth almost bent to his ears.
It makes sense why he would choose Nao Midorikawa as the target of persecution. If it were someone else like Miyuki, then she could still transform and fight to knock down the clown. If the target was Ash... Guipai is not that stupid yet.
So at present, the only one who has not released the transformation seal is Nao Midorikawa, who is his best candidate. It is better to say that there is no one more suitable than her! She can't transform and can't do anything. She values friendship but can only face the cynicism of her former friends. As the former Pretty Cure, if her bright heart can despair and fall into darkness, the "Tragedy Energy" generated by such strong emotional fluctuations must be of great benefit to Mr. Piero!
However, she still didn't show any signs of despair, which surprised him...
"Hmm..." Seeing Reika's face starting to waver and not daring to look directly at him, bad water surged in Guipai's chest. "Is there still one step left?"
For people like Tragedy Kingdom, especially Guipai, who is actually closely related to "Tragedy Emperor Pierrot", friendship is really hard to understand and unnecessary. This is why the other three cadres can play at each other's expense, but are repelled and somewhat afraid of him.
For example, in the current situation, no matter how hard this little girl works, what's the use? Didn't we still lose to the reversal in the end? Friendship and bonds are such fragile things.
If he had to give a practical analogy, friendship, in his opinion, is like a glass bottle. It looks like a solid shell, but will be smashed to pieces once it is dropped to the ground.
"In this case, some bad boy must push it off the table~!"
I recommend~
A gust of wind blew, and the other people who had strands of hair blown up by their ears didn't feel anything, but they felt like a huge force coming towards their face. She instinctively covered her face and retreated, accidentally tripping on her left foot and falling to the ground with her right foot. Even her knees wiped bright red marks on the ground.
The backpack next to him was also bumped by the girl's fallen shoulder, and the things he had finally collected inside were scattered on the floor.
"Ah!"
Seeing him falling to the ground and groaning in pain, Reika instinctively wanted to reach out to help him, but the feeling in her chest made her retract her hand, and her voice was naturally Mugen cold.
"It's your own fault."
Ash, half of his face exposed from behind the corner, just watched.
This is an agreement. He has agreed that he will not get involved until she successfully proves it to him. This is the way he actually respects people.
Until he waited for her to collapse and give up, he would take action to rescue this poor child... or so he originally thought.
But now, he was trapped in the same cycle as Guipai, where he was surprised at how strong this kid really was.
"Tangtang - Tangtang! Tangtang can't stand it anymore, Kulu!" Tangtang jumped out of Miyuki's arms unbearably. Tangtang, who was already crying before turning over and half-kneeling on the ground, trotted to the girl's side with a sobbing voice.
"Now Miyuki and Reika and Akane are all bad guys, Kulu!" Seeing the teardrops falling into the grass, Tangtang unfolded her soft horn hairstyle and gently wiped away her tears.
"Go back, Zhi! Don't take this anger here anymore, Kulu!"
It's useless to say anything... Now Pretty Cure has become so strange and scary, Tangtang won't admit that they are Pretty Cure like this!
"No—!" He pressed his hands on his painful knees, and his voice sounded like a low roar of a small animal, startling everyone.
"There is no such thing!"
Not only was Tangtang stunned, but at this moment, Zhi burst out with a motivation that neither Ash nor Guipai could understand. With tears streaming down her face, she still ran to the schoolbag on hands and knees and displayed all the contents in front of them!
"Miyuki, you should still remember this!" It was a beautiful bracelet that I bought when I was on a vacation in Kyoto. "Miyuki You were so unlucky on that school trip that you thought this trip would definitely fail! We accompanied you together, and finally we saw the geisha girl we wanted to see. This is the souvenir we got together!"
"Me!" Miyuki's hands unconsciously fumbled in his pocket, where there lay an identical bracelet.
"And Yayoi Kazumi Fortunately, didn't we get lost and separated in Osaka? Everyone was in a hurry at the time, but they ended up playing by themselves. Although the clown made trouble in the middle, the takoyaki that everyone ate together in the end was really more delicious than when they were eaten alone!"
Yayoi, who had been hiding silently behind Akane, also poked his head out, looking a little confused, but still nodded with a finger on his lips.
Why do you remember it so clearly?
"Everyone, look at this!"
The photo that Miyuki randomly threw away yesterday was displayed in front of everyone like a treasure, and everyone's smiles that stayed in the past were clearly visible.
"Maybe you guys dislike it now, but these are indeed our precious memories!"
"Everyone laughs together, isn't it a genuine smile?!"
Chapter 87 The reversed arrow begins to twist
Nao's vision was blurred by her own tears, but she did not dodge, but looked at everyone sincerely.
Everyone's eyes were avoiding her.
Even they themselves don't know what they are avoiding.
"Everyone must still remember this!"
After a final search from the depths of the backpack, what appeared in the girl's hand was a red and white short stick. Everyone recognized it as the baton used in the track and field relay event at the sports meeting, and even had their names written on it.
Another memory image was awakened in the minds of the girls, that afternoon in their memory, at the award ceremony of the campus sports meeting. The sweaty classmates in the next class were cheering for their track and field championships. They didn't even win the rankings, but they hugged each other in the corner and cried.
"What, what's going on?" There was a hint of hesitation in Akane's words. "Are you talking about the track and field event we participated in together at the last sports meeting? Yes, we obviously practiced hard together with you, but because you fell in the final sprint, we fell to the end and didn't even get the ranking, right?"
