If it were before, I would have traded my life for yours in the final stage without hesitation. After all, I would definitely make a profit, but it's different now.
"No one is going to die today, not you, not me."
Can't make her sad.
"Trust me."
Can't break the agreement.
"You kid - what are you talking about? Do you think you can do anything? Okay! Okay!" The calmer Ash became, the more it aroused Gagu's anger that broke through his reason, and he decided to kill the girl. "I will let you understand the pain of hell!"
No need, I already understand.
"The coward."
Ash's words of Gurongi interrupted the movement, causing Gagu's head to turn towards him little by little.
"You said-what?!"
Through the previous "getting along", it is easy to understand that he is a guy with extremely low self-esteem and extremely arrogant. He will never allow beings who are weaker or stronger than himself to look down on him.
And Ash just knows how to make any Gurongi lose their mind.
That is, as a human being (Linto), use their language to scold them back.
"Georgia (coward)!"
So Ash emphasized his tone and said it again.
coward.
This is not the first time Gagu has been insulted like this. Very early on, even before he was sealed by the Kuuga, his fellow clan members used the same words to call him.
Similarly, Gurongi from Be Group who he had killed also called him this way in the end.
coward.
"AAAAAA——"
After throwing away Miyuki, Gagu, who only had anger in his eyes, rushed towards Ash.
Ash can feel that the existence in front of him, which cannot be called a living creature at all, but is composed of a "collection of resentments", is actually very strong.
Really strong.
Then kill.
"Miyuki!"
The girl once again returned to Ash and hugged her arms. The two of them watched Gagu, who had been cut off at the waist, stand up again. The violent energy visible to the naked eye surged on his surface and body. Ash instantly understood that he wanted to make a final counterattack - that is, self-destruct!
"I know... you won't really die, but this is the beginning of going to hell!"
"Let me tell you! I was sent here by someone else, so you must have offended a lot of people -!"
The silent Ash raised the broken sword again. Even though it had lost the light of miracle, it was Ash's will that still flowed on it.
"There will be people and more beings coming to you in the future, hahaha——"
An unknown light forced out from under Gagu's constantly damaged skin.
"If you want to go to hell, it's you—!"
Really?
"Ash..."
Miyuki behind him was not afraid of the power of self-destruction, but looked at Ash with worry in his eyes.
"If you can take a step toward Mirai, then I will continue to move forward with a smile."
Seeing the reassuring smile on Ash's face, Miyuki instinctively didn't want to let Ash leave, but at this moment she chose to take the initiative to let go of Ash's hand.
I believe him.
"My name is Ash, but I am Sword of Precure!"
Facing the turbulent power of darkness in front of him, Ash, who was blocking Miyuki, had only determination in his eyes!
Destructive power erupted from the darkness in front of them. The Reika group who were about to arrive felt the earth tremble, and the air seemed to solidify.
And Ash was holding the broken sword tightly, and slashed towards the light of destruction with his arms as if he wanted to cut everything in two!
"My sword can't cut anything!"
The girls, who desperately wanted to stretch out their hands but couldn't reach them, watched helplessly as the light bloomed on Ash's sword, drowning the man's handsome figure.
"Ya..."
"Fix..."
Whether it was Reika or Akane, Yayoi who was kneeling on the ground, or Nao who couldn't open his eyes, everyone lost the power of words in the indescribable shock and grief at this moment.
Now they can only stand there like a stub, staring, looking, looking...
Looking at the black figure, he walked out of the explosion with Miyuki in his arms.
"Yo."
Ash, who held Miyuki in front of him, gave a thumbs up as if taking credit, with a proud smile on his face.
"Promise, I'm done."
"Ash——!!"
"Miyuki——!!"
"Woo... wow wow wow, everyone!!!"
Reika, who burst into tears after tearing away his calm appearance, threw himself on Ash, followed by Akane, Nao, Yayoi and Tangtang. Everyone rushed up together. Ash and Miyuki wanted to spread their arms to catch them, but they were thrown to the ground.
Laughing, crying, blaming, angry, worried, and happy, the faces of the people lying on the ground were covered with tears and smiles, and all their emotions were truly revealed at this moment.
We are still alive.
Even if we lose the peace until yesterday, we have to face the terrifying reality; even if we lose the most precious things, our hearts are torn apart, even if we are stunned by unimaginable malice.
We still defeated evil and survived. No matter how much we were hurt, we finally stood up again.
Because we are not alone and neither are you!
In this way, in the end, we created a brand new Mirai and the best smile!
This is our story!
[In this way, Rider and Princess, who defeated the last evil, hugged each other happily. After crossing the darkness, they ushered in the shining happy end and tomorrow together! ]
[Dragon Be Here, end. ]
"Ah...Dragon Be Here."
Closing the picture book and storybook in front of him, the man who shed a few tears held on to his hat, walked out of the house with emotion, stretched out and breathed in the fresh air.
"What a great story!"
(BGM: 咲いて)
"Bloom, surround, when it comes, transcend, sprout, until the flower blooms~!"
There was pleasant background music in the box. Miyuki was singing a familiar and touching song. Akane and Yayoi were happily calling. Except for Reika who was too happy, the box was filled with laughter and a warm and touching atmosphere.
Having gone through difficult and happy times together, they are celebrating the past. Everyone's faces are filled with smiles, hugging and greeting each other, but the girls can't help but cast their eyes on Ash, who is sitting on the sofa with her bag on her back and her eyes closed.
"I'm leaving Nanairogaoka City and going somewhere else."
When Ash told others the news a few days ago, it caused an uproar like throwing stones into a calm lake. Everyone did not understand and felt confused. They tried every means to make him change his mind, but in the end they could not change the conclusion that Ash had "planned".
Therefore, in order to bid farewell to Ash, Yayoi proposed to hold a farewell song at the end as a celebration of victory as their final farewell.
"Bloom, take this step again~!" After the song ended, Miyuki handed the microphone to Ash. "Ash's voice is very nice, so I want to stop singing Ash too!"
"No, I'm very satisfied to be able to hear you here." Ash didn't take the microphone, and her voice was very soft compared to the past. They guessed that this was probably to prevent themselves from feeling sad. "Now, it's time for me to leave."
"Ah..."
Even though I already understood what was going to happen, when it was really about to happen, I couldn't help but feel sad.
"Why, Ash must leave."
"Because there are still new encounters and stories, as well as important people waiting for me."
"Important people..." Miyuki repeated in a low voice. "If I were an important person to Ash, could I let you stay?"
"For example...?"
"Girlfriend!" Akane exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention to her. "As expected of you, Miyuki, just say whatever comes to mind - that's fine!"
"It's so bold Miyuki, confessing or something... Wow, I feel so youthful!"
"Wow - no, that!" Miyuki, who took a long time to react, turned red and twisted. "No! No! It's not wrong! Well, how should I put it? There are often romantic stories of men or women giving up other loves to live together for the one they love deeply!"
"It turned out to be a fairy tale again... Are you telling a true story?" Qian, whose momentum suddenly dropped, was unable to complain.
"Speaking of stories!" Yayoi pulled out the newspaper from behind, and a small section on it reported on her comic deeds. "My comic really, really won the magazine's Newcomer Award."
"Really, I did it! And you see, I also wrote your name in the signature column. After all, it was my brother who helped me complete the comic together!"
Anxious to show success in front of Ash, Yayoi was actually very happy, jumping around like a little rabbit.
"My little guys miss you too." Naoya said beside him, with hints in his tone. "They have been clamoring for you to come to my house again. Really, I want to clear up the misunderstanding quickly."
"Girlfriend - the same goes for our family!" Akane, who was extremely nervous when talking about herself, put her face in front of Ash, and then quickly backed away with a blushing face from shyness. "We also want to eat homemade Okonomiyaki with you again, so why don't I teach you the secret of it, so that you can make it for me every morning from now on!"
"Ash." Reika tried his best to maintain the calmness on the surface, but his heart had long lost the coldness of the past.
"I admire you from the bottom of my heart, sincerely."
Ash's hand that was packing the package paused.
Reika As soon as these words came out, the other people immediately covered their red faces with intention.
This is a confession~!
"It's not just a term used for teasing and acting..."
"I want to share that beautiful moonlit night with you again."
What a night it was that time!!!
"I..."
Reika patted the somewhat lost pink-haired girl on the back.
Go and convey your feelings to him.
"Ash, I like you!"
The man reflected in the cherry-pink light received his second confession.
"I don't know when it started, unknowingly, maybe when we first met... when we were fighting, when we could be trusted, and when our hearts reached an agreement! As long as I see Ash, I can be Ultra happy!!"
The shy blush on his face faded away at some point, because everything he said now was sincere.
"When Ash lived in my house, although he was often funny and made my mother distressed, he also had the same laughter. When I was with you like that, my heart couldn't calm down... In fact, I always hope that such days can continue!"
As they spoke, two lines of clear tears fell down the faces of each of the girls, who had agreed to send them off with a smile. Ash's expressions also completely collapsed, and everyone couldn't help crying.
"I don't know what Ash actually went through - but anyway, as long as we have everyone, there will definitely be a way! Don't leave! Don't, don't! Don't leave!"
For Miyuki who buried her head in her arms, cried coquettishly, and never let go of her waist, Ash also gently leaned down and gave her a hug.
"Really, how many Pretty Cure dare to say such nice things to me."
"However, just as you can overcome despair and face Mirai, I also have a reason why I must move forward."
So, with the sound of crying full of reluctance, Ash firmly let go of Miyuki's hand and walked towards the door.
"Then, I will say it again, Smile Pretty Cure, farewell——"
"Don't say goodbye!" Miyuki, who was crying until the pear blossoms were wet with rain, interrupted Ash's farewell with an angry cry. "At least, at least say goodbye, wuwuwu——"
Ash, who was standing at the door, listened to the cries of the girls behind him without looking back. He gave them a human-like thumbs up and stepped out of the door.
"The world is connected."
