When Yuyu woke up and Reika opened his eyes, he saw that the first person who caught his sight was Ash, and he immediately moved aside to cover his face.
Wait, wait, I was in that posture just now! Reika, whose brain began to become confused, quickly shook his head to prevent himself from thinking wildly.
"Why, are you still angry? Isn't it because I couldn't help but want to taste it and licked you?" Seeing the person moving away from her on her hands and knees, Ash conveyed it in a medium-sized voice, and as expected, she saw her trembling reaction. "If you feel aggrieved, let's do it. I can do it for you -"
"Please don't say such dirty words again!" The girl with a lot of sullenness in her voice seemed to be really angry. "It's so shameless to do such a thing to a woman! You said you couldn't hold it back or something, doesn't Ash think there's anything wrong with it?"
Huh? You are so bold that you really dare to call other men "Danna" and you even seem to be happy about it, but you are unexpectedly shy in this regard? Hum, if a woman's mind could be as easy to understand as Kamen Rider's strengthening route, I wouldn't have to go through so many twists and turns in the world of Pretty Cure.
"No, it's not like I haven't been eaten by monsters before. It just smells a little bit bad. Just be careful not to be digested by stomach acid and wait for the giant or robot to dig you out later."
As he spoke, Ash breathed in front of him, well, it really doesn't stink.
"This kind of experience... I don't want to know about it." Regarding Ash's serious story, Reika, who felt increasingly that Miyuki's evaluation that day was accurate, twitched the corner of his mouth unbearably. "Could it be that Ash wanted to eat me at that time?"
"Girl, if I really had such thoughts, I would have kidnapped you and eaten you dry..." Noticing the girl's wavering, Ash immediately increased the intensity of the association. "Well, if you care so much? Could it be that the state when I transformed into an elf was actually naked——"
"With all due respect, I would not answer this kind of answer!"
Smart blue always turns the corner of his thoughts, and there is indeed such a law.
Sitting on the wooden corridor in front of the yard with the girl, Ash's eyes wandered aimlessly in the yard of Reika's house, taking in the antique scenery in front of him. When he noticed the figure slowly approaching again, he didn't take the initiative to talk to her until the other party's voice floated over and couldn't help but ask.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at what kind of world it would be to raise a person named Aoki Reika into Pretty Cure." He said, seeming to be sighing. "Could it be that it's because you've been living in a very conservative environment that you're so interested in me who broke in? You can even say 'Dana' so boldly? You're surprisingly rebellious, right? Reika."
Ash jokingly teased Reika, whose face turned red because of his words. He didn't know what happened, but now he would be very happy every time he sees them being shy.
"Ha, let's talk about it, I am really destined to be the eldest lady."
Arisu, Itsuki, Reika... Well, if you put it this way, is it standard for every Pretty Cure team to have a eldest lady?
"Hmph."
Reika did not admit his inference, but he did not reject it outright. He just "bumped" his head gently on his shoulder as if he was angry and vented his anger, expressing his dissatisfaction with Ash's statement through actions.
"Why, you hated me so much at the beginning, but now is this the so-called favorability reversal?"
"Now Ash is as annoying as ever." Leaning on Ash's shoulder, the girl who really liked such tranquility closed her eyes and stated while enjoying the moment. "At the beginning, I really couldn't be as sincere to Ash as Miyuki. It was the same at the movie city. It was really too much to unleash everyone's malice on me behind my back."
"Hey, is that so?" Ash responded casually, as if he had no memory of this kind of thing. "I only remember that we cooperated pretty well that time, but what I didn't expect was that after enlightening you, you were actually willing to risk it for me. Really... huh?"
The tug on her hand made Ash notice that her cuffs had been tightly grasped in her hand at some point.
"At that time, everyone was knocked down and I was left alone. I really didn't know what to do."
"I want to believe you, but I'm afraid that what you show is actually false, and those dark scenes are the real you... At that time, I was really scared..."
The man raised his fingers and gently wiped the girl's trembling eyes, scattering the tiny tears into the light in the air.
"However, I will never let people down at critical moments."
"I know."
Reika took the initiative and came closer.
"Dana...Ash, I actually have a problem that's been bothering me recently. Can you... give me some advice?"
"After the final exam yesterday, my class teacher congratulated me and said that the place I applied for to study in the UK was passed because of my outstanding performance. If there is no problem, I can go abroad next semester." The girl told the story in a beautiful voice, and Ash listened quietly. "When I first learned about it, I was really happy. After all, it has always been my wish to go abroad to learn more knowledge and see different scenery! However, I am not so happy now."
The girl's eyes showed full of tangled sadness.
"If we really want to study abroad, our relationship and Pretty Cure's identity will no longer be maintained, and..." Reika looked pitifully at Ash's unwavering profile. "Maybe we'll never see each other again. No matter who it is, I don't want to give up. Ash, what should I do?"
"You talked to me about this first, so you should be able to guess how others will react when they find out, right?"
"Yes." The girl nodded slightly. "No matter how sad you are, everyone will definitely wish me to fulfill my wish, but the more this happens, the less I want to be separated from you and Ash..."
"In this case, I suggest you follow your wish and study abroad." After listening to Ash's words, Reika opened his mouth but did not speak, but his eyes were visibly sadder. "After all, haven't you always just followed other people's expectations? If you finally have the chance to realize your wish this time, how could you possibly give up?"
"That's true, but..."
When I think about what if I will never see you again, or this man who always says weird things but has the ability to make people laugh, my sadness is palpable.
"Things can't always have the best of both worlds, unless -" As she said that, Ash, who was smiling evilly, took out a book from her back. "You are a genius like me who can reverse common sense. I said, it's just a small distance. Why don't you just use Book Gate? What are you struggling with?"
"Eh? But wouldn't it be okay to use power on this kind of thing..."
"What is this kind of thing?" He hit the hard-covered book on the blue-haired little head, causing him to cry out in pain. "Which is more important, things or yourself? Idiot."
Although they look smart, they are actually surprisingly dumb... They are worthy of being a team of fools. They are worthy of being a team of fools. Everyone is now a fool.
Reika, who was holding his forehead, complained about Ash's rudeness, but the joy in his heart couldn't help but come out more.
"Which one, Ash...?"
Unable to help himself, Reika asked the question that had always troubled him.
"I have always been very grateful to you, but I know that you were already exiled to another world that time. Why did you come back at that time...?"
"Of course."
Letting go of Reika's hand, Ash stood up and stretched while smiling at the sun above his head.
"It's because my lovely and beautiful wife at the time was in danger."
"You responded to me, and I responded to your call."
Chapter 148 Pretty Cure's stories that follow each other
Peaceful days, leisurely wind, but such scenery is a peace that cannot be enjoyed by some people. For example, after a fierce battle with the world-destroying demon king Darkness Emperor the day before yesterday, the girl and her group were about to start the final exam of the semester the next day. The feeling of separation was comparable to when you were preparing to take the college entrance examination and your classmate said that he would drop out of school to become a king.
The result was of course predictable. The four girls howled when faced with the reality of final exams. They had never screamed so miserably even when Piero shot them like sandbags flying around in the sky, so they are still fresh in Ash's memory.
However, in the wails of this scumbag Pretty Cure, there was an unsociable voice, a certain blue who had already reviewed it long ago. The top student vice-president who often topped the grade list always showed a calm smile like a master without saying a word.
The girl's smile is like the breeze blowing over the top leaf of the branch in summer. It is the same peaceful smile as the moment when she leans behind Ash and lets her blue water flow over the man's shoulders.
The slight itching on the tip of his nose and the sound of the elegant mint fragrance made Ash, unable to sit still, slightly turn his neck to the other side, but did not move away directly.
Is it the smell of shampoo? It's strange. It's not a monster or anything. It's obviously not found on men?
His gaze couldn't help but drift to the corner of his eye, and he happened to see the girl holding a familiar little book and writing something in it.
"Are you still taking notes at this time? Good students will study seriously and so on. It's really boring." He said boring words, but in fact his body was very honest and could not help but let his eyes peek in with curiosity.
"Now as a rare vacation time, I won't always be busy studying. So now I am... writing some joint observations and summaries with everyone." Reika naturally felt the sight of Ash, and the movement of his hand moved the note that had been written for a while to his side, just blocking Ash's sight, which made him even more curious.
"Don't always be impatient. Isn't this what Ash taught me?" Facing the man's aroused and increasingly aggressive eyes, the girls responded with a smile, "How about this as a reward for Ash who always surprises us, and also gives us a chance to prepare surprises?"
"Ha... If it were just some girls' insect observation reports, I wouldn't be interested." The more he tried to ignore such boring "provocations," the more curious Ash became like a bug.
But when he thought of the girl's previous words, Ash gave up the plan of "let me Kangkang" and took it directly. After reluctantly turning his eyes back, he simply let the light fragrance leaning on him float from the tip of his nose without seeing or feeling.
Reika, who had seen all this, let out two chuckles of genuine joy, and then let his beautiful handwriting continue to fall on the notebook.
"[Ash, is a very annoying person.]"
"[This man named Ash, as Rider, suddenly broke into our fairy tale world. He first ignored the rules and disrupted everything. He disrupted the story of Pretty Cure and the story of the Tragedy Kingdom into something that had never been seen before. He did bring us a lot of trouble, but it was also... wonderful.]"
"[He always does things that we can't understand, and even if these things will cause bad results, he still doesn't care. Originally, I would never admit this kind of person... However, he will truly guide me at the critical moment of need. Maybe as he said, I, who have always lived in a conservative way, will be attracted by his freedom?]"
On the day of the Tragedy Kingdom battle, when Ash's hard work disappeared just like that after the decisive battle, Miyuki said that he wanted to recreate the story between him and them in front of everyone. Ash Quan was trying to comfort himself in front of her, so he didn't care.
But Hoshizora Miyuki, or Smile Pretty Cure, is indeed serious.
What Miyuki said to them that day was still fresh in everyone's minds, including Reika.
"Everyone, do you still remember? Ash said it was watching Tragedy Kingdom's bad End was unhappy, so she chose to join us in order to fight against such an ending!" At that time, Miyuki had a serious expression in front of them after Ash left. Although Miyuki's round face looked cute and naive, she still tried her best to maintain this expression.
"Yes, we defeated the tragic King, Darkness Emperor Piero, so that means - ah!" Akane, who had come to the conclusion on her own, reacted and was stunned for a moment while looking at Ash's long gone back.
"In this case, it means that Onii-sama has no reason to stay with us anymore... Hey! Will Ash leave?!"
"Well, I have this hunch! If there is complete peace, he will definitely leave!" Miyuki tried his best to use a serious tone, causing an uproar among his companions who looked a little unstable. "Because he is this kind of person, because he is Ash!"
"So, that's why we do this!"
After Miyuki brought the blank notebook from Ash to everyone and explained the purpose of the visit, she hoped to fill in the blanks with everyone, and, as she said, re-create a "new story" that belongs to him and them.
"As long as this allows Ash to see a new story between us! Maybe he will be moved to stay!"
"We must complete the story in this book before Ash leaves. This will be our Ultra happy!"
"The meaning of this principle is unclear?"
Reika was so confused at that time, but now the girl leaning behind Ash believed her companion's words.
So she wanted to write down her own part of the text. Now, Reika first let her writing fill up the beginning of the story.
"It's indeed an insect observation report~"
Although it's a bit stereotyped, when you think of Kamen Rider, don't you always think of insects?
"[Today is the same. He always makes us embarrassed and likes to say some willful words...]"
After closing the note, looking at the author column with the name Ash written on the spine, the girl happily left her "Aoki Reika" on it.
A trace of blue light swept across the side face of the man behind her. The blushing girl reopened the closed book. After hesitating on it for a while, she still wrote a simple line of text at the end.
"[But now I am a little happy, how strange is it?]"
"[However, maybe this is what the story says... the feeling of falling in love with someone, right?]"
Marriage... Danna? As a plot in a movie, it's romantic enough, right?
The girl is happy for a very simple thing.
Chapter 149: First Reika, then straight
"Dana~" With the charming tone of returning to the movie set, Reika gently poked the man behind her in the heart with the hard spine of the book. Seeing that he still had a "difficult" expression on the address, the girl couldn't help but chuckle twice more.
The notebook that had originally prevented Ash from seeing its true identity was now back in the man's hand under the man's confused gaze.
"My part has been written, so just by the way, please bring it to the next person's hand, please?"
"So..."
"It's said that all of you have a share in it, so now you asked me to bring it to you, but you also asked me not to look at it... Tsk, what do you call this? You're just being clever."
It's really uncomfortable to feel like you're being carried behind someone's back, but you can't take the initiative to expose it... huh? Is this how the author who has been following updates suddenly feels? Thinking of this, Ash suddenly understood.
Nao Midorikawa, who was holding a vegetable basket in one hand, looked at the notes that were involuntarily thrust into his hands, and then looked at Ash in front of him, who had his hands in his pockets and was complaining. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
In fact, Nao Midorikawa's feelings about co-creating the story between everyone and Ash are very complicated. It's not that he hates it or is unwilling to do it, but it's very straightforward... his feelings are extremely complicated.
Except for Miyuki, everyone's attitude towards Ash was extremely bad at first, but these bad relationships turned into a relationship of affinity and admiration as they got along. Even Reika, who was the most staunch "anti-Asian party" friend, has now become the other force with the closest relationship besides Miyuki.
There is probably only Miyuki who has never been troubled, right? After all, towards Ash, she has a sincerity that is 'beyond love', and no one can compare to her in this regard.
As for Nao Midorikawa himself, it's not that I still don't want to believe him, but the crisis of trust caused by the reversal of the clown monster still sends chills down the girl's spine when she thinks back to it.
Although in the end everyone's problems were solved and the relationship got back together, it would be the best happy ending, but I couldn't help but feel aggrieved whenever I thought about the trauma I suffered at that time, not to mention Ash's last-minute stimulation therapy... Even though I knew Ash was doing it for their own good, and the effect was really significant, the man's excessive footprints of crushing everything without reservation were still deeply engraved in the girl's heart.
She didn't mean to complain about him, she just... couldn't forgive him.
"Huh - you're here so early?"
Taking a deep breath to reveal the mixed feelings in her heart, the girl who insisted on letting him go over the past stopped thinking about it and put the note with the name of her best friend in her underwear pocket.
I can write, but I am not as knowledgeable about literary creation as Reika. Can I be able to write something like this?
"Reika After all, she strongly recommended that you are good at taking care of people and cooking at home, so I came here." Pretending not to see the emotion in the other person's eyes at that moment, Ash turned his attention to the fancy food in the basket in her hand.
"Potatoes, carrots and onions and chicken... Curry, it's a bit too classic as a choice."
"Hehe~ It's not as powerful as Reika said - and who do you think this is for!" Zhi quickly put the carrot that Ash was looking at in his hand and was about to bite into it and threw it back into the basket.
I found out from a phone call with a friend a few days ago that today Ash decided to come to his home as a guest or something. Although I couldn't think of how to get along well with him, I decided to buy more vegetables today to entertain him as a guest. As a result, I happened to meet him halfway and the current scene happened.
"But you are probably the number one person in the world who can be treated like this by Reika of the opposite sex."
Speaking of which, Zhi Zhi had to accept it. As for the change in Reika in his mouth... the flower of the high mountain in the Nanairogaoka Academy actually favored a single person or something. Ha~ If those boys knew about it, they would be very sad, right? The green girl couldn't help but develop slightly gossipy thoughts.
"So what's going on with Reika? He's usually serious but also shy, so he's worth teasing. But sometimes he's bolder than me. Could it be that he's hiding some humor that I don't know about?"
