"Are you annoying...?"
As he muttered this word, his hands crossed on his chin, his Yuri glasses reflected light that made it difficult to see his expression.
If you hate it, that's right.
Store manager... Are you sure you ate it outside?
I don't know if I said something wrong, but Makoto felt that the "reiatsu" around him had increased by at least 1000%. He was afraid that the other party would take off his glasses and crush them in the next second, so he quickly grabbed his own mineral water and started gulping it down.
"It's really an honor to be Pretty Cure with Miss Aoki." Sipping the warm black tea that he didn't know where he came from, Arisu gave a warm smile to the blue-haired girl in front of him. "However, there are still some things I care about that I want to confirm with you. For example, what is the order?"
"Well, Miss Yotsuba is right." Maintaining a dignified sitting posture that no one could fault, Reika responded with the impeccable smile of the yellow-haired girl. "I also have something that I would like to ask for your advice on, such as how important it is?"
"Zhi, do you think we should join in?"
"Even if you ask me - I am Erika!"
"Wait a minute, do you really want to quarrel over that man? What about your qualities as Pretty Cure?!"
"STOP——!"
Just when the conversation between several people was about to get out of control, Misumi Nagisa, the big brother of the first generation Precure, jumped out and stopped all the arguments in the world.
In short, these Pretty Cures are obviously from different groups, but they are discussing the same person, and this person happens to be their important... friend? He's a friend, so he can't be a crush like me, right?
"So you are arguing." The big-headed girl standing nearby rubbed her temples and asked uncertainly. "Is it the same person?"
"Maybe?"
"Maybe not?"
When this topic was brought up by Nagisa, everyone was stunned. They really hadn't thought about it.
"That is to say, you said that you saw the figure of someone you know among the enemies this time?" As the seniors spoke, the number of people who reacted continued to increase. The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and there were a few people who were more sophisticated, and the more they thought about it, the more something was wrong. "What kind of person is that person?"
"Hey, that?" Lei, who was troubled by the collective abstraction of her teammates, was stunned for a moment when she heard the question, and then gave her answer after careful consideration. "That person's name... is [Ash]. How should I put it? He is both our most ferocious enemy and our best friend."
"We originally thought we had said goodbye to him forever, but we didn't expect that this battle with the seniors would be related to him again... In short, he is a very important person to us!"
"Huh?" Miyuki, who had sat down in the 5 gogo group at some point, opened his mouth blankly, letting all the snack crumbs he was fed fall from it. "Are you talking about Ash?"
Sure enough!
Seeing Erika beside Lian Lei also nodding seriously, excluding Miyuki whose reaction was slower than that of a sloth, Rikka and Reika showed clear colors on their faces.
But when hearing Lei's description of Ash, the inexplicable unhappy mood became more and more intense. This feeling as if the secrets hidden deep in his heart and his fat color were being mentioned as a joke by others... Inexplicably, Arisu and Akane felt like they were cuckolds who were hiding behind the crack in the door and witnessing Huang Mao's murder.
Wait, let's put it this way...we were "greened" by other Pretty Cure?!
The same heart-breaking reaction emerged in the hearts of three different groups of Pretty Cure.
"In that case, we..." Itsuki Meidoin's wandering golden eyes actually left a red light in the air. When she thought that she had been deceived twice by Timons and the store manager, and even the handkerchief was given away this time, the martial arts girl wanted to cut a few people with her knife to calm her mood.
Speaking of which, he said that I look very similar to someone, and I can see the shadow of someone else... So that's what it's all about~? No... no... the more I think about it now, the angrier I am, the more I want to laugh~
"It turns out to be... the enemy... like this?" Yayoi looked scared, Akane said impatiently, as if she was about to explode in the next second, as if there was a fire burning on her expression.
"Ah la la~ I thought that." Arisu opened the folding fan to cover half of his face, only revealing his narrowed fox-like eyes. However, the ebony fan frame made an overwhelming sound as the veins popped up on the back of his hand. "We are just friends..."
"Now it seems that the relationship is more than friends?"
Of course, it could be a worse relationship.
Ash-sensei, your actual deception is really too much for us?
"Um, everyone?"
Yayoi, who had shrunk under the table at some point, only showed a pair of timid eyes, watching the goose-feather snow falling from the side of the smiling Reika. Yuri, who was in a depressed atmosphere, simply took off his glasses and held them in his hands. His expression was neither sad nor happy. Lei, who wanted to cry, and Zhi, who was in a panic, wanted to say something but hesitated. Makoto, who already understood that it was useless to panic, continued to drink the second bottle of water. Erika and Aguri Kazumi sat together happily, eating snacks while complaining about someone's operation. Finally, Rikka, who was standing outside the circle, watched everything with a wry smile on his face.
Nagisa, who had originally said that she had solved the problem with astonishing wisdom, was about to feel proud when she saw several people standing facing each other in a triangle for some unknown reason, with her eyes intersecting just between them. She smelled the tension that filled the air around her, and sweat poured down her forehead.
"Can you talk to me if you have something to say?"
Did I accidentally start something terrible?
"Mother..."
A, who didn't dare to breathe, took a deep breath and almost choked his throat.
"What are you talking about? What are you looking at?"
Seeing A next to him with a sweaty expression after putting down his binoculars, Ayumi, who was about to start hunting monsters with him, felt confused.
"Nothing, just if Ash sees this scene."
To be honest, although I was mentally prepared, when I actually saw it, I felt a chill running down my spine and the corners of A's mouth twitched and never stopped.
"He probably won't want to win the Easter match."
Chapter 11 Ashu: My favorite episode (4K)
"Grua..." The palms that were folded to cover the middle of the skirt were trembling. Makoto, whose face was flushed with shyness, was like a poor student who was asked by the teacher to stand up and answer a question. He raised his right hand tremblingly.
"Drink... I drank too much water. I want to go to the toilet."
"Really, Makoto, can't you just go directly?"
Looking back at the shameless guys whose movements and expressions hinted at the hostile competitive relationship between them, Aguri, who was quite speechless at their insistence on proving their correctness from their "opponents", patted her dress and stood up, supporting Makoto, whose legs were swaying, and walked towards the toilet.
Thanks to the current atmosphere, there were several people who couldn't understand and simply didn't want to get involved, such as a certain Kazumi blue-haired girl who was lucky enough to sit together and eat with her mouth full of white flowers.
"Erika, come and try this! It's so sweet."
"Huh? Then I'll try this cake!"
Erika, who once had a secret affection for the store manager, saw such a chaotic scene. Unlike Lei, who was struggling to adjust to the chaotic situation, she had already given up thinking. The girl who simply didn't want to see anything put the cream on her lips into her mouth with her tongue. She once sighed at how wise and generous Mr. Erika was when he took the initiative to give up for Lei!
So to put it this way... huh?
"Miyuki... Is this cake a little sour?"
"Hey, how could it be? It's obviously very sweet?"
Erika licked his tongue again and nodded. Indeed, it tasted a bit sour...
After everyone watched Makoto stagger out of the venue, who was about to lose control, the crowd saw that the aura that was about to explode finally relaxed with a sigh.
If this was the studio next door, the situation where Ash came to light might have turned into a fight between a hatchet and a baseball bat. However, as Pretty Cure girls, they still couldn't take the initiative to cross paths with others. What's more, after suppressing the resentment and resentment towards Ash in their aggrieved hearts, things that worried them even more emerged from the bottom of their hearts.
What happened to Ash now?
"Um... can you tell us?"
When the argument finally stopped, Lei, who finally found a chance, stepped forward. After some hesitation, she still mustered up the courage to ask Miyuki and Rikka respectively.
"What kind of person did you see him? Did he do anything to you?"
"Store manager, Ash, how are you doing after...?"
In fact, Hanasaki Rei was very happy when she heard that there were other stories about the store manager, Ash, including meeting these Pretty Cures who had also interacted with him... It wasn't that she had a cuckold fetish that she was willing to share with others, she was really just too happy.
After all, they finally broke through the web of conspiracy filled with sincerity and deception, and regained the time they spent together with Ash. Of course, no matter what, Ash's actual excessive behavior still left a grudge in the girls' hearts. However, Lei was not too sad at the time. She believed that she would be able to use everyone's efforts to repair this relationship in their daily time together.
What I never expected was that the daily life of Mirai originally envisioned was so short, so short that even the time when it merged with Ash into Infinite Silhouette to blast Dune was too gorgeous and short-lived. He could only helplessly leave his last words, leaving a deep hole in the hearts of the girls.
Therefore, no matter what, when she knew that Ash was still alive, even if she was living in another time and space that no longer intersected with her own, Lei was still sincerely happy for his continuation!
But at the same time, the facts behind this incident also made her feel more and more melancholy.
It seems that whether it is the other pink child or the blue girl wearing glasses, they all seem to have a deeper understanding of Ash. Compared to them, I didn't know what the store manager had done until it was revealed, let alone his past. I even didn't realize until the end that he had been hiding his physical condition. It's really ugly for us like this.
Obviously we can share such things with him, why can't he tell us? Even if there is no possibility of seeing you again, it's okay to just leave us a thought... Why Ash? Are you still unwilling to accept and trust us even though we have dated and kissed you?
"Can you tell me more about Ash?"
That way, at least we can get closer to you now.
"Yes, Ash, his words must have caused a lot of trouble for you, right?" Rikka also felt funny when he thought of his own experience of being arrested and working as a maid in the village. "That person always hit me when I disagreed with him, and he hit me so hard that I thought I was going to die several times!"
"Yes, Ash He never knows how to distinguish the seriousness of his attacks."
Thinking about it, if the red bird and the orangutan hadn't been on his side at the critical moment, Arisu probably wouldn't have been able to wake up.
"And he forced us to separate for his own will. Unless he is convinced by force, he is completely self-centered and will not listen to persuasion at all."
It's a pity that Mana is not here, otherwise she could have said it. But unlike those of us who seemed to be the first to come into contact, those who came later must have had a hard time, right?
"No, it just came out of nowhere." Erika, who heard this, tilted his head in confusion. "Normally, he is always accompanying, pampering and supporting our store manager. Apart from the fact that the coffee is terrible, there is nothing else that can be faulted. Otherwise, people wouldn't have been deceived by him and fell into trouble!"
???
Rikka and Arisu were about to continue describing their movements when they froze, and countless little question marks appeared in their eyes.
"Then he destroyed the trust we had built with our own hands. We must all have been toyed with our emotions by him." Yuri shook his head after taking off his glasses, hiding the sadness filled with regret in his eyes deep in his heart. "Although it's to make us stronger, it's still... hard to accept."
"Does this description sound like the kind of extremely bad villain?" An outsider nearby who didn't know the truth complained. It sounded worse than the monsters they had fought.
"Isn't it?"
"Huh?" After listening to the predecessor's description, Miyuki, who hadn't even wiped the corners of his mouth clean, made an even more confused voice. "Ash fought him with strange riddles at the beginning, but after defeating him with all his strength, Ash has been fighting to help us."
??????
Yuri, who had just finished emo and was still a little melancholy, could hardly believe his ears when he heard this. Even Erika, who had been pretending to eat melon, couldn't help but let the cake paste get on his skirt. Itsuki next to him even thought of the previous conversation with Yayoi, with a subtle expression on his face.
Wait, Yayoi What she said about my brother... could it be true?
"Well, make sure..." Lei, who forced a smile, rushed to the startled Miyuki in a panic. "The person we are talking about is [Ya Xiu], right?"
"Yeah! That's right!" Miyuki, who was very happy, nodded seriously. Of course, she would not have the slightest idea of slandering Ash. "Although there are times when we have disagreements with everyone, Ash has always tried his best to consider us and guide us as our teacher!"
"Even if you are our enemy, it is to change our Mirai!"
"Ash, he is Rider of Miyuki!"
"Old... teacher? Rider!"
Isn't this right? Are we talking about the same person?
"Yes!" Akane next to her also responded. "Although he usually likes to play pranks on us, we think he's quite cute when he smiles, haha..."
"Onii-sama is the heroic onii-sama who always makes Yayoi act like a spoiled brat!"
"Although he has done wrong things, he is also a man who dares to take responsibility."
"Yeah! It was Ash who was with us and supported us until the end. He is an important comrade, friend, and family member!"
Seeing Smile Team in front of her talking more and more enthusiastically, and hearing the sound of broken wood and teeth that were about to be broken, Lei suddenly felt something rushing up to her head, her eyes darkened, and she fell back.
"Wow! Rei-!"
"Chew Chew..."
Wang suddenly stopped stuffing food into his mouth. After swallowing the last bite of bread, he looked at the girls who were busy in a funny atmosphere. He remained thoughtful for a long time, then opened another dessert and started eating.
"If you suddenly stop breathing heavily, just say something to me!" Ling from behind pinched the flesh around Wang's waist.
"No, I think they are all important people, but everyone describes that person differently. Could it be that they are the same person in different worlds like us?"
Click——
As soon as these words came out, everyone could see with the naked eye that someone's movements became as slow as if they were dancing in a mechanical dance.
"Yes, the difference between their descriptions is such that Daiya might be the same person in different time periods." Komachi took out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to her. Komachi, who seemed a little excited, also expressed his own opinion.
"Hmm, have you got new inspiration for the novel?" Karen quietly joked to Komachi from the side.
"Add a little conflict between the romances of different characters, ah, I'm so inspired that I want to write it down~"
"Then you have to control the speed well?"
"Uh... I still don't understand, anyway! As long as we knock that person down, everything will be revealed, right?" Momozono Love scratched his head and said based on his own experience.
Hearing this, several Pretty Cure people nearby nodded their heads.
In the past, whether it was the darkness that wanted to swallow up the universe or the evil party that controlled all parallel worlds, who would not fall under the iron fist of justice of the girls? If you can't explain clearly, just use your fists to make the other person understand. Why make it so difficult?
However, when most of the girls present thought that they had never been in love, they felt inexplicably dissed and fell down "uncomfortable", clutching their hearts.
"But love... I'm really a little envious." Urara hugged Hikari, facing this scene, his heart also felt a little rippled.
