As soon as these words came out, the others finally couldn't help holding their bellies and burst into laughter. Only Ash was still enjoying himself and didn't seem to feel anything wrong.
"You Heisei people, you really don't have any appreciation for Showa's 'Tough boy'." The man lifted up the bangs with his fingers and silently walked around Akane's back. The man took action angrily and used his arms to impose a merciless "naked choke" on the poor girl. "Also, who do you think is the uncle?!"
"Hahaha - I was wrong, I was wrong, uncle, please let me go!"
"How dare you... huh?" At this moment, Ash looked startled and put down Akane, who was struggling in his arms. Catching the flapping and inciting sound, Ash looked up and saw a fluttering book flying towards them from the sky.
"Ah, that's it!" Miyuki, who also saw the book, showed an excited expression. "It was the same as when I first met Tangtang. At that time, a book carrying Tangtang hit me in the face, hahaha..."
"Ah, that's Tangtang's brother 'Pop' Kulu——"
Before Tangtang could finish her equally excited introduction, she heard a gunshot and sparks flying, and the book with a hole in the air crashed down with a scream.
"Oh, this is one of your Fairy Tale Kingdom people. Did you tell me earlier?"
Under everyone's silent gaze, Ash whistled the Spongebob theme song and threw Closed Gear Gun into the inventory as if nothing had happened.
"If I hadn't said anything, I would have thought that Tragedy Kingdom had attacked the secret base again."
How do you say that? Once bitten by a snake, it lasts ten years for Parkinson's disease.
"Ouch... who attacked me..." The little lion elf Pop crawled out of the book and felt that he was being picked up. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Ash, he immediately reacted. "Ah, you are the one who attacked Pretty Cure before! Let me go!"
"That matter has long since passed." Ash, who looked indifferent, quickly dropped the topic and immediately made up a set of excuses. "That was really dangerous just now. I didn't expect Tragedy Kingdom's people to even sneak attack here. Fortunately Ash I responded in time, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous."
"Is that so?" The little lion blinked, not quite understanding, but when he saw Ash's expression of "I'm a bad guy for lying to you", he still chose to believe him. "I didn't expect that I would be rescued by Ash-sensei this time. It seems that I misunderstood before. I'm really sorry -"
"Oh, oh, it's a small thing~" Although Nerve Severing Bullet couldn't handle it, Ash had no problem receiving two 40-fire shots. He accepted the compliment very naturally and ignored the increasingly bad looks behind him.
"I came here this time to get the news that 16 Cure Decor have been collected, but the queen is still in the state of a stone statue and showing signs of recovery." After learning the cause and effect of the matter from Tangtang, Pop, her brother, also had a strange look on her face. "Although Queen was not resurrected, did you get the legendary Royal Clock? This..."
"Ah, since Pop is here too." Seeing Pop's distressed look, the kind-hearted Miyuki quickly suggested. "How about everyone come together to Tanabata Festival today!"
"Tanabata Festival is the day when Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky meet again once a year." Seeing the puzzled looks of the two elves, Reika took on the responsibility of a popular science teacher. "But in our area, there is a custom that if you write your wish Tanzaku, your wish will come true."
"Ah, in that case Tangtang will have to write -"
"It's written."
When everyone exclaimed, "So fast!", Ash had already put down the brush from his hand.
"Don't be so surprised. After all, this isn't the first time I've written something like this."
In the past, he didn't believe in such superstitious things at all, but this time it was a rare opportunity for so many people to celebrate together. Let's start from the first step and write down some wishes that are easier to come true.
Ash, who was thinking this, put his eyes on Tanzaku in his hand with a smile.
[I hope to die vigorously and handsomely. ]
Ash smiled and said nothing.

Chapter 129 About "Cheating"
After Ash, other people wrote down their simple wishes in the booklet.
"I will be able to draw more beautiful paintings in the following days, Yayoi."
"Our business continues to prosper and our wealth is rolling in, Akane!"
"Being able to travel together as a family and leave unforgettable memories, Zhi."
"I hope I can continue to walk on the right path, Reika." The last stroke of the word "Tao" was written neatly on the cover of Tanzaku with a divine brush. Reika's elegant attitude was as clear as ever, as if it could be seen from above.
"Speaking of which, Reika has become more confident since that day." His eyes kept darting across his friend and Ash's bodies, and he asked with interest, "Did something good happen?"
"Yes, because I have indeed found the right path, no, more accurately, it is the way I should go." Reika did not deny what really happened. The scene where he and Ash hit the bull's-eye with an arrow is still vivid in his mind. "Of course these are all thanks to Ash, so I won't forget them. Am I right?"
Ash briefly raised two fingers to reply, and the girl still got a satisfactory answer.
"I hope I can see more wonderful picture book stories in the future." Miyuki, who was too embarrassed to let others see the crooked handwriting on the paper with his unfamiliar brush, could not help but look at Ash, with a slightly happy expression on his face. "It would be even better if I could become the heroine of a picture book - Sachi."
"What I wrote is that I want to be with you all forever, Kulu!" Even Tangtang dipped her little hands in ink and wrote her name on the booklet, and let Xing help her hang it on the bamboo leaves in the room.
After being decorated with ribbons and hung with brochures, the pine and bamboo trees in the room became today's Tanabata Festival, a symbol of everyone's prayers.
"Everyone's wishes are very intuitive. Well... what is Ash-sensei's wish?"
"Who knows." Without responding to the girl's curiosity, the man had already hung up his booklet. "Mystery is a man's secret weapon, how can he be known to her so easily?"
"Can't I do it either?"
"No."
If I let you see it in advance, it wouldn't be cool.
Helplessly looking away from the closed black book, the girl who was also curious about this matter now felt quite regretful.
What exactly will you write? Will it be a confession of someone's feelings?
Of course, if Ash didn't want to, no one would force him. Putting these things aside, Reika, who had changed his attitude, came to Ash seriously. It wasn't until he raised his head and finally looked at himself that he seriously started to make a premeditated proposal.
"Ash Since you've already been to Miyuki's house and didn't find it annoying, then, do you want to come and stay at my house?" As if he didn't see the other people who were instantly put off by his abrupt proposal, Reika had a serious and thoughtful look in his eyes. "I also want to introduce you to my mother and grandfather, so that they can get to know you in advance?"
As Aoki Reika, who targets Yamato Nadeshiko, of course she always maintains a completely reserved heart, but taking action when it's time to take action is also the principle she recently learned from her incident with Ash.
That's what she said, Pretty Cure.
"Wait, wait Reika, are you..." Shocked by her sudden bold behavior, even Zhi couldn't help but start to think about it for no reason. Although they were pretending to be enemies before, the two of them almost got married, so now this part of introducing their parents... looks like an ingenious design no matter how you look at it!
"Why, are you lonely without me by your side?"
"Yes." Unexpectedly, facing Ash's seemingly frivolous teasing, Reika, who understood his awkward true meaning, responded without blushing or heartbeat. "Pretty Cure also has so many friends like you that I can persevere through many difficulties. Is there anything wrong if I, Aoki Reika, feel lonely now?"
"And as adults, you will agree to Miyuki really live in Xingkong's house. Aren't you the one who is lonely... Dana-san?"
"Stop, stop, stop -!" He quickly made a pause gesture with his hands. Ash was afraid that Reika would call him such a serious name. Obviously no one mentioned the fake marriage in the past. Why are these little girls so clever?
"Okay, it just so happens that it's not just you who are curious, but I am too." He didn't just answer Reika's answer. He thought that if he wanted to go to other places to visit anyway, then he might as well just get along with him. In this mood, under the eager eyes of others, Ash called out names one by one.
"Let me see what Pretty Cure's family members are like later."
"Yeah!"
"It's not good..."
After the people with different expressions but generally feeling inexplicably happy dispersed, Miyuki was left with a pouting look on his face, looking at Ash's side face facing the sunlight from the window with resentment.
"You obviously said you liked my family and my mother very much before, but now you're going to cheat on me, at least hahahahahahaha..."
You're cheating on me, why are you so good at talking?
"What does this have to do with cheating? I really like the warmth of the Xingkong family. For this reason, it is natural for me to feel more warmth, right?"
"... To be able to take cheating so naturally, isn't he the scumbag on TV? The worst!"
"Okay, okay!" When the conflict between the two was about to turn into a "fight", it was the hard-working Akane who stepped in and stopped the quarrel. "If you continue to quarrel like this, Cowherd and Weaver Girl, who have finally met in heaven, will cry. Let's go to the back mountain to watch the stars together!"
"Cowherd Weaver Girl..." Looking up, his gaze seemed to pass through the ceiling. Ash, who did not see the constellations, saw the face of a familiar person on it. "That's not true. I can't understand this feeling."
There are a lot of idiots nowadays, but I don't know how the idiots in the past were doing... Ha, forget it, what are you thinking about? I can't even compare to the fact that I can see Cowherd Weaver Girl at least once a year.
"Ash?" After everyone else had passed by Book Gate, only Miyuki, who was a bit grumpy, happened to see Ash's silent expression behind him at the last moment.
"At that time, Ash said that it would be no problem to find a place to live if he wanted to, so why did he still have to lie on the tree in the park?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Because, I unknowingly realized that it would be too boring if there was only one person."
Probably due to his mood, Ash answered questions that were impossible to answer before.
That's right.
At this moment, the hand in the purse was taken out, and a pair of warmer feelings gently enveloped it. When he lowered his head, what he saw was Miyuki's iconic smile that can cheer people up.
"As promised, I will definitely make Ash smile like he is no longer lonely!"
"Smile, smile~!"
Chapter 130: The children I pushed
Generally speaking, no matter how happy the decent life is, the life of the villain will be miserable. It is completely different from the cheerful Incredible Library. The Tragedy Kingdom, which is always dark and gloomy, certainly has no need to commemorate the human Tanabata Festival.
The atmosphere of the entire Tragedy Kingdom has reached the bottom of the low level, to the point where even the bat in charge of the atmosphere team can't flap its wings.
After all, what they pursue is to turn a beautiful world into a "tragic ending". They do not themselves become part of the tragic ending. They have lost Pretty Cure several times in a row. After losing, they have lost Kamen Rider again. If they continue, they will have reached the point where they have no chance to lose.
Standing in front of Great Darkness who was sealed at the core of this world, Guipai silently looked at Clock of Demise above.
As long as the hour hand symbolizing the collection progress of Tragedy Energy reaches the "12" position, it will be the day of resurrection of Tragedy Emperor Pierrot. Of course, it will also be the last day of Pretty Cure and Fairy Tale Kingdom.
The original plan should be like this, but I don't know which evil thing actually stole a wave of Tragedy Energy, causing the pointer to stop at the number "11", unable to go up or down.
Of course, there was good news. For example, after they collected 16 trinkets, there was no news of the queen's resurrection. They were worried about the other party's tricks and breathed a sigh of relief. At least all the good things were taken by the other party.
Originally, the plan was to make the Pretty Cures despair by attacking that elf, so that this high-quality Tragedy Energy could awaken the great Lord Piero, but now there is a Kamen Rider stuck here, and it is impossible for him to do such a thing.
"Damn Kamen Rider!"
Rather, as long as there is this Kamen Rider, there is nothing he can do. Judging from previous experiences, even if they want to play conspiracy, they are embarrassed to join the decent opponent... huh?
Suddenly thinking of something, Guipai once again showed an evil smile on his face, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to Three Executives, who was sleeping on the other side.
Yes, his purpose from the beginning was not to have a hard fight with Pretty Cure or Kamen Rider. Considering that they have suffered defeat several times in front of such a combination, it is really stupid to insist on such an approach.
As long as I fill up the last bit of energy that is right in front of me... If I can let my invincible Emperor Pierrot run over you directly, why should I play house with you?
As long as it is not the Queen who represents the sacred, crickets Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure are just clowns blocking the car in front of Mr. Piero!
"In that case, let's separate Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure?"
If conspiracy is out of the question, what about conspiracy?
"In this way, even if only one side falls... then on the other side, as long as there is even a slight flaw in the hearts of these six people."
"There's always one side that will reveal its flaws, right? Hehehehe~!"
A very proud and ferocious laughter echoed in the world of the Tragedy Kingdom.
"There are so many people!"
When we came to the lawn on the back hill of Seven Hills City, there were many people who had the same idea as the girls. They gathered together and chatted happily about the stars. In this world without industrial pollution, this lawn without any cover on the back hill can be said to be the best place to watch.
The Milky Way, which covers the entire starry sky, makes the girls' eyes sparkle.
"Have you heard? The Astronomical Bureau said there will be meteors passing by today. Don't you think the Tanabata Festival meteors are very romantic?"
"Is that so? Then I will make a wish on the stars today!"
"It's so beautiful, it's like the stars are about to fall from the sky!"
"The stars are falling..."
Hearing this, the Pretty Cures a month ago would have had the same idea, but now they can only have a very poor "smile" at the shooting stars.
Thanks to the "Battle of the Advent of Primitive Lifeforms" half a month ago, if the great power of GokaiOh and Pretty Cure hadn't exploded the star, knowing the result of the falling star, directly shuffling the ecology of the entire earth circle would be so terrifying that they would still be terrified after hearing the news about the "meteor".
"It's really too much... How can people look directly at the stars like this?"
"Yes, wishing on a star is such a romantic thing... it's a bit scary to think about it."
"No, we think it's nothing." Compared to others who were worried about the stars, Akane, as a witness, still looked relaxed. "I can see that the light across the vast universe is very beautiful, and the stars are still beautiful stars."
"Besides, if another star is going to fall to the earth, it's up to us to push it back!"
"Sneaking in, there are robots that can drive, and you can speak with dignity..." Yayoi, who was still bitter about not being able to actually enter the cab of the super robot he dreamed of, cast a resentful look at Akane's back.
"Miss Ikuyo."
On the other hand, when they saw Hoshizora Ikuyo who had also come here to celebrate the festival with everyone, this time it was Ash who took the initiative to talk about the previous decision. When she heard the news that Ash was going to leave soon, she looked a little sad.
"Hey, Ash is leaving now, is it because he dislikes my cooking?" She was like a mother who heard that her son was going to run away from home, so she tried to keep him with a gentle and eager tone... Of course, she didn't really make it so obvious, but Ash felt that this was what he meant.
"No, that's not the case. Anyway, I've been taken care of these days. I'm very happy with the food at Xingkong's house."
I expressed my gratitude to Miss Ikuyo, who is obviously an ordinary person but cares about me very much. The last sentence is indeed the sincere words of Ash.
