Chapter 117 Royal Clock
Now, everyone who was about to approach the final exam during the summer vacation gathered in the room of Miyuki's house. Their purpose of sitting in a circle was not to study together for the exam, but to meet Tangtang's request, saying that they had something important to announce.
"Speaking of which, do you want to call my brother over?"
"No, we don't think we need to shout." Regarding Yayoi's proposal, Akane, who could guess Ash's thoughts, shrugged indifferently. "If he is interested, he will definitely come."
"Akane really knows that gentleman very well."
"I feel that none of us are qualified to say this..." For some reason, Akane's eyes looked a little hollow when she said this.
"No, straight, I don't think Akane meant that." Reika held her chin and shook her head, because she had the same idea as Akane. "Even if we don't specifically look for contact, doesn't it seem like there are invisible pushers that always bring us together? It's like heroes in disguise are attracted to each other."
"Ha... are you talking about that person again?" Of course, not all "people" are interested in this topic. Thinking of the past of being ravaged and taught by the other party's big hands, Tangtang, who doesn't like Ash, pursed her lips in displeasure. "Although you like him, Tangtang doesn't like him. I don't think he will come this time, Kuru..."
"Am I late?"
When Cao Cao arrived, a huge open book was opened from the bookshelf in Miyuki's room, and Ash came out from the other end of Book Gate.
Everyone's expressions seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing. After all, after those several times of stimulation with Dai Bouken, they were accustomed to Ash's various unprecedented behaviors, and even themselves were surprised by their own adaptability.
Glancing at Tangtang who secretly stuck out his tongue at him, Ash decided to find an opportunity to play with this guy who needed to be masturbated, and then sat down at the end of the seat specially reserved for him by the girls. The difference in body size made this scene seem inconsistent.
"Tell me, what happened? After Piero was resurrected, he became huge and brought his little brother to fight."
"Don't say such scary things all of a sudden!" It was the first time that a man walked into his boudoir. This delicate mood, coupled with the fact that various items had not been packed away yet, he didn't know what to say. Miyuki also blushed and muttered shyly, "At least take off your shoes before entering the room, hahahahaha..."
If I had known earlier, this meeting would have been held in Incredible Library.
"Ahem, everyone, listen up Kurulu!"
After everyone arrived, there was no need to talk nonsense. She stood in the middle of the table and held up the Cure Decor that exploded from the spider clown monster in front of the pink storage box. Tangtang happily announced to everyone.
"The 16th piece of Cure Decor that Tragedy Kingdom took away from me that I asked Pretty Cure to collect has finally been collected!"
"Now we can finally resurrect Queen from the Fairy Tale Kingdom, Kulu!"
After coming to this world, what I have been asking of you all this time has finally been completed!
"Really?"
After hearing Tangtang's words, everyone also looked happy.
After all, in addition to protecting everyone's smiles from the tragic ending, they became Pretty Cure. Another reason is to help their elf friend Tangtang collect the fashionable garbage that was taken away... Ahem, I mean Cure Decor. In the words of Ash, it is a very classic Dai-ni routine of bringing goods.
In short, as long as these accessories are collected, the leader of the Fairy Tale Kingdom, the fairy tale queen who defeated and sealed Piero Darkness Emperor, can be resurrected.
As long as the Queen can be successfully resurrected, whether it is to re-lead and make Fairy Tale Kingdom great again, or to knock Tragedy Kingdom down in one breath with her invincible power, isn't that something that can be easily achieved? At least everyone except the squinting Ash believed so.
"That's great, let's do it!"
With everyone looking expectantly, Tangtang placed the elephant ornament in the last slot of the storage suitcase.
A dazzling light flickered in the center of the storage box. When everyone put down their arms that were blocking their eyes, what appeared next to the storage box in front of them was a childish-looking... alarm clock with wings?
"Is it——Royal Clock Kuru?"
Tangtang tilted her hair and made a cute voice. Everyone looked at me and me, but no one got an answer from the other person's eyes.
"Well, didn't you say that Her Majesty, the Queen should be resurrected?" Zhi curiously poked at the gorgeous handheld clock in front of him, and continued to ask, "Where is Queen? Why is it a clock? Didn't it say that it was resurrected?"
What does giving a clock mean? Do you want us to give this clock to Queen? It always feels so unlucky...
"Tangtang doesn't know Kulu either."
Obviously I was told this too, but if you ask me, who am I asking?
"Well, this is Royal Clock..." Akane looked through the clock in her hand and couldn't find anything special, and blinked. "What is it used for?"
"It's the powerful prop of the Fairy Tale Kingdom Legend Bell!" At the end, he added another sentence. "It can also be used as an alarm clock when you wake up in the morning!"
"Then -" Yayoi's eyes were shining with interest after hearing this. "How powerful is it! Could it be said that it can be used as a weapon? Well, it seems that a hero who uses a clock as a weapon... can't be sold?"
"Anyway, it's a very powerful prop." When Tangtang answered confidently as always, Ash had already grasped the thing.
"No, the clock weapon is actually sold." Picking up the clock, which was slightly small for his hand, Ash looked around. "Even if the plot is sparse, it still sells well... Well, you elf don't know anything, right?"
Sweat fell down.
"Tangtang is so useless, I'm really sorry Kulu..."
While others hurriedly comforted the disappointed Tangtang, Ash carefully inspected the clock.
Take out Dark Sword and scan the place where the sign is read with the love mark on the clock. Omni-Adapter's ability instantly connects the energy circuits of two props that were originally unrelated and not the same thing at all!
"[Magnificent Story]!"
"It's a universal sound effect."
As the fantasy words on the sword flashed, a flame full of life force ignited from the sword like a newborn nirvana.
While the flames illuminated Ash's face, Ash, who was holding the holy sword tightly, could definitely feel the extremely rich and pure power in it, which even made him feel quite warm, almost giving people the feeling of wanting to spread his wings and fly.
"Is the empty slot in the middle a prop that is linked to your accessories? Ha... Do all of your Pretty Cure power-up props have such a large item?"
"Let's not talk about whether to strengthen or not!" Looking at the "Blazing Fire Sword" in Ash's hand, Miyuki reacted anxiously and danced in front of Ash and shouted again. "Don't play with fire in my house, Ash-sensei! If mom finds out——"
"Miyuki."
Just when the girl was extremely anxious, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, causing Miyuki to stop on the spot.
"I heard some movement above, what are you and your friends doing?"
Chapter 118 Miyuki's mother, Hoshizora Ikuyo
After returning home, Hoshizora Ikuyo, who was cutting fruit for her daughter and her classmates downstairs, heard strange noises coming from upstairs and came to her daughter's door out of worry.
"Bump--"
Everyone turned their attention to the door that made a noise in front of Miyuki.
This is also the reason why Miyuki's expression and movements are stiff at this moment. He would knock on his door at this time. Excluding the possibility that Ash, who never knocked on the door, suddenly changed his gender, naturally the only possibility is that Miyuki's mother "Hoshizora Ikuyo".
"Miyuki, who is the one outside the door?"
Hearing the gentle and elegant female voice coming from outside the door, coupled with Miyuki's now comical and embarrassing performance, he guessed a question that everyone was cautious about.
"This is my mother."
As a mother who has given and supported herself, raised her with her own gentleness and kindness, Miyuki also looks forward to her mother from the bottom of her heart. Naturally, it cannot be that she has such an expression because of some kind of resentment. No, it would be better to say the opposite.
Everyone's eyes invariably turned to Ash who put away the sword and began to poke the card slot on Royal Clock with a toothpick, trying to decipher the sound effect.
If Miyuki's mother saw them, especially her daughter, sitting together with such a grown man... No, the main problem is that he would appear in Miyuki's room. It is the biggest problem in itself, and there is no way to explain it!
"?"
Ash's face remained as usual, his interest was entirely in playing with the new toys in his hands, and he did not show any reaction to the suffocation that was about to overflow from the girls' faces.
Ash has always been indifferent.
No! It's totally impossible to count on Ash at this time!
"Miyuki?"
Ikuyo outside the door didn't get a response for a long time. His gentle expression could not help but frown, and he took out the key and opened the door.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? Miyuki Are you and your classmates still at home? Mom is coming in."
"No no no!"
Just when the door was opened a small crack, Miyuki finally reacted and ran to the door quickly, standing in front of her mother who looked confused, dancing and dancing to cover it up.
"Nothing happens, hahaha, nothing happens here!"
Tangtang can be said to be a doll, and Royal Clock can be said to be the toy brought by Yayoi, but there is an extra grown man in his room... I can't explain this!
"Really? But I clearly heard the noise."
"It's really okay, hahaha~ Everyone, are you right?"
Others who understood Miyuki's mood quickly stood in front of Ash who was sitting there, maintaining a stiff, service-like smile, and nodded to Ikuyo like a fool, almost printing the words "yes, yes, yes" on their foreheads.
"If it's okay, that's fine."
"Yo."
Just when everyone thought that this matter would just go away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, Ash, who also noticed the arrival, patted his legs, stood up from the ground, and was just a head taller than the wall of people in front of him.
Standing behind the girls who were instantly "petrified", the man raised two fingers and said hello to Ikuyo, who was completely stunned.
"Good morning, miss." When he saw this beautiful wife with a single ponytail tied with a bow on her back, she unexpectedly saw Ash, who was a familiar face in this world besides them. She also showed a slightly surprised expression, and the corners of her mouth were raised to reveal a set of bright white teeth. "It turned out to be Miss Ikuyo. Your beauty is as beautiful as ever. I didn't expect you to be Miyuki's mother or something."
Not to mention the other people who were completely stunned and couldn't say a word. When Miyuki opened his mouth and mechanically turned his head and looked at Ash with a gear-like sound on his neck, what he saw was a thumbs up for him.
"Don't worry, as a partner of justice and your partner, of course I have no problem with this level of politeness. Why, it's not bad, right?"
Miyuki stopped thinking.
There is also only one thought in my heart.
Ah, it's over.
Hahaha, if my mother sees it, it will be completely exposed. How should I answer? Hi~ This Ash-sensei is Reika's husband desu——No, this is totally unacceptable!
No, it's completely beyond explanation. The relationship I maintained with Ash-sensei is over at this moment~
Just when Miyuki was gradually walking away, feeling more and more self-defeating because of giving up, he saw his mother put a hand on her face. She was surprised and smiled slightly happily and responded to Ash, "Ah~ it turns out to be Ash-sensei!"
"..."
"????"
Miyuki stopped thinking for the second time.
"Oh, that's it." He found that as long as he didn't embarrass himself in thinking about those complicated things, he wouldn't have a headache. Miyuki, who simply gave up thinking, was no longer worried, and instead started to be curious about the relationship between Ash and his mother. "So, does mom know Ash-sensei?"
"Yes." Seeing Ash picking up two slices of oranges from the fruit plate and throwing them into his mouth, the smiling Ikuyo explained kindly under the gaze of the girls, "I encountered an accident when I was outside before. It was Ash-sensei who helped me solve the problem. After that, he ordered a lot of things from me. In terms of the large orders completed, it helped me a lot."
"After that, we contacted him several times about the goods, and we became familiar with each other." Feeling the gaze from Ash, Ikuyo returned the other party's flawless and friendly look. "After all, Ash-sensei is such a handsome, gentle, polite, and funny person. It's hard to forget."
"Yes, that's right."
We have no problem with him being handsome, but being gentle and polite... Do we know the same person?
"Anyway, long time no see, Ash-sensei" Although he said this, in retrospect Ikuyo had indeed seen him elsewhere. For example, he occasionally saw Ash sleeping soundly in the woods on the roadside or on a bench in the park. When he wanted to say hello to him, he would disappear again in the blink of an eye.
So she expressed her doubts
"Did you encounter something?"
I originally wanted to say that if I had the opportunity in the future, I would definitely find a time to visit and chat with this gentleman who seemed to be hiding something to see if I could make him relax or something.
"Yes, I met them on the uncertain road of Mirai." Although he spoke with a slightly disgusting tone, the corners of his mouth gradually rose up at some point.
"Something good happened." Observing the changes on the faces of Ash and the girls beside him, a gentle atmosphere emanated from Ikuyo, whose expression gradually warmed up.
Sure enough, he is a person who is afraid of loneliness.
Chapter 119 A picture book belonging to Ash
Looking at Hoshizora Ikuyo who naturally joined in and chatted happily with Ash, several students and girls who could not get in a word looked at Miyuki whose eyes started to circle and cast envious glances.
"It's amazing. I can chat with Ash so naturally."
"Is this the beauty of being an adult?"
"Don't ask Miyuki, Miyuki doesn't know anything."
Miyuki looked at his mother and Ash, who seemed to have become strangers, with a face full of (⊙_⊙). He didn't know what expression to make other than a stupid smile.
Originally, when Ash met someone he knew, he actually didn't plan to talk too much with her, but for some reason, the other party's sudden warm hospitality was a little beyond Ash's expectations. The prepared words were of no use, and the spicy words that he was usually good at seemed to become unutterable in front of her gentleness.
This is the first time Miyuki has found an expression similar to frustration on Ash's face.
"Recently, Ash-sensei hasn't contacted me anymore?"
