To be honest, I was very happy when I found out, but also felt a little sad.
"If that's the case, Ash should have no reason to fight. Or do you have something that you can't say directly, so you can only tell us with your fists?"
Or do you really just like to use rough methods on us? That's really... too much of a distinction!
Ryuga didn't reply, he just turned the remaining dragon blade into a two-handed grip and continued to point at them.
"... If you like this so much, then go ahead!"
Aguri also put his hands in a provocative posture in response.
"It's just that next time, it won't be your shield that's broken!"
There is something very wrong with Ash, or Longya now.
At this moment, both of them could feel that something was wrong with him, but judging from his unreasonable attitude, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.
At the end of the day, you gave us a very bad impression! Obviously none of the other Pretty Cures are like this, so they are treated differently! Absolutely!
If this is all because of our achievements, I would be very happy, but it would be strange... It's not that I don't want to share it with others, it's just... ahhh! It's really strange!
"It hurts!"
The distracted Rikka was hit in the stomach by Ryuga with the handle of the knife. The severe pain caused the girl to arch her spasming back like a shrimp in an instant, holding her stomach in pain and retreating with a difficult expression.
It feels just like that time on the beach. This feeling of being bullied is very familiar... I hate it! I'm not a masochist, so I don't want to be familiar with this kind of thing!
"After all, she's a girl... if she's a man, just show mercy to her!"
"This man has never been anything like a gentleman. Well, to a certain extent, he treats men and women equally."
Listening to Rikka's complaints, Aguri on the side couldn't help but joke. After the blue-haired girl reluctantly summoned Heart Arrow from behind, she did not aim the arrow at the dragon's teeth, but turned the red heart emblem in the center, raised her other hand and kept beating the rhythm of the silver bell to make a pleasant sound.
"Pretty Cure Diamond Shower (Pretty Cure diamond baptism)!"
In line with the rhythm of the girl Ling Shen Xin, countless light blue diamond stardust spurted out from the red heart and aimed at the dragon's teeth. After a while, Rider was fixed and sealed in a bright and shining big diamond.
"Huh, this should calm him down for a while."
"Wait a minute, Rikka!" Looking at the countless dark Rider figures reflected in the diamond's shining polyhedron map while maintaining the previous posture, Aguri remembered something and shouted with a sudden change in expression. "Rikka Stop it, you can't stop him like this!"
Ryuga is a Rider that can constantly travel between Mirror World!
As soon as Aguri finished speaking, Rikka, who reacted with the same shock, saw the figure disappearing from the diamond with a flash of light, leaving only the knife still inserted inside.
Before they could react, the dragon blade that was left in the diamond suddenly exploded. Taking advantage of the girl's subconscious action of blocking her hands in front of her from the flash, the big diamond exploded from the inside into a sky full of flashes of light.
"Too bad..." Looking at the countless crystal fragments floating around him, and the light of Rider's scarlet eyes could be seen on every side of them, Aguri muttered to himself with an ugly face. "Now we have fallen into a trap!"
Just as Aguri said, the black shadow that turned the tables against him continued to attack from within these mirrors and shuttled at high speed. The two girls who were struck dizzy for a while could never catch his figure.
"Hmm!" The girl who was knocked to the ground by constant pursuit and whose light blue suit was once again damaged clenched her teeth and stood up again. Her will seemed to be determined to fight against the dragon's teeth at this moment.
"Even if I'm not as strong as Mana... I don't want to lose to you again!"
This is not just for other reasons... By the way, Ash! This is also for Mana who is still worried about you even in his dreams! Even if it is for Mana hers, Rikka I will definitely beat you here!
Ryuga aimed his cold eyes at the girl's back. Just when Rider was flying out of the lens and was about to hit her back again, a huge four-leaf clover shield blocked Rikka's back, blocking Ryuga's way.
"Rikka, but you are always thinking about you." Cure Rosetta, holding the shield with both hands, looked at Rider in front of her with a smile, and at the same time, she ran with the wind at her feet and pushed him back. "Wouldn't it be okay if you were a little gentler to her?"
"Sword Hurricane (Sword Hurricane)!" Cure Sword passed his finger across Crystal Mirror to inject power into the tablet. Countless spade-shaped purple lightsabers swept around them like hurricanes and blew away all the diamond fragments.
It turned out that when Rikka and Aguri continued to fight fiercely, Kenzaki Makoto and Yotsuba Arisu, who were also sensed, also followed the guidance of the elves and rushed into the battlefield with Ash.
"Arisu, Makoto!"
"Since Ash is back, we can't be absent!"
Looking at the familiar dark figure, Arisu and Makoto had extremely complicated emotions. The purple-haired girl asked her friend beside her in a daze.
"Arisu, do we still want to fight?"
"Well, if necessary, because Ash is a person who cannot express his true feelings without hiding anything." Arisu had an easy-going expression on his face, and he grabbed the shield with his backhand and slapped the dragon's teeth away like a pot lid. "Similarly, Arisu, I also have something to say, and I want to use my skills to convey it to Ash-sensei."
Normally, of course I am willing to accommodate Ash-sensei, who is very cute when he makes trouble, but for Ash-sensei who casually left without saying goodbye and then continued to have sex with Mana behind our backs, I am a little... a little angry.
"Just don't overdo it."
Listening to their words, Makoto couldn't help but sweat.
"Pretty Cure!" Forced Ryuga to the opposite corner, Pretty Cure, who was missing four and one, transferred the power of Crystal Mirror, the artifact, to the tablet in Rikka's hand. When the concentrated power gradually accumulated to the peak in Rikka's hand, the playing cards turned into huge squares and shot in the direction of Rider.
"Lovely Straight Flush~!"
The huge sea-blue square light contained Rider and completed the purification. Until it dissipated, the subtle evil spirit lingering around Rider also quietly dissipated. When he knelt forward with his legs losing strength, he was hugged by Rikka who rushed forward.
"Ash!" Together with other girls with worried eyes, they called his name. When there was no response, Rikka continued to call. "Ash! Wake up!"
Since we won this time, I am qualified to give opinions to Ash, so please - come back soon!
"Now Mana is not here, do you want me to worry too? You two... I obviously hate this the most, but you always make me sad!" Completely ignoring his usual quiet and reserved image, Ash hugged the unresponsive Ash, and Rikka simply shouted out the words in his heart as if to vent his anger.
"Whether it was cleaning the house for you or being taken to the base by you, you always asked me to do things like a maid for you, like this... forget it like this! I just, just want to quarrel with you again for cleaning... I want to see you like this again! I just asked for this, so please come back again!"
Ash You have long since become someone who worries me as much as Mana, so... don't leave us again...
"I heard it, the slutty Rikka-chan." Just as Rikka continued to shout regardless, he suddenly felt a hand touching his head. "Of course the reason why I keep letting you be my maid is because I quite like you, a blue woman, but I didn't expect you to look at me like this. Rikka, you are really brave."
That's not what happened! The girl who reacted suddenly covered her head and jumped back, but judging from the teasing eyes of her friends next to her, it was unclear what the relationship was.
After the thoughts belonging to Ash boarding came online, Long Ya slowly swept across the four girls in front of him, whether it was the sultry Rikka who lowered her head and turned redder and redder, or Aguri and Makoto who were looking at him angrily, and Arisu who had their hands folded in front of them and looked at him with a smile.
As for this eldest lady... I'm really embarrassed to face her now.
"Good evening, Miss." Ash greeted her. "I'm glad to have the opportunity to meet you again."
"Good evening, Ash." He walked up to Ash with a slightly scary smile. Just when he thought he was about to be punched, Arisu gently stretched out his hand and gave him a hug.
"I'm also very happy to see Ash again."
Resting on Ash's solid dark breastplate, the eldest lady took a deep breath and turned her head awkwardly in his arms.
"Long time no see, I miss you so much."
Arisu didn't say much, so Ash put down his hand and patted her back twice.
"But Ash, you're still very energetic, so that's good." Although there were some complaints that she wanted to talk to him at first, but facing the person so close to her, all these naturally melted into Arisu's heart. "Don't make me wait so long next time."
Sure enough, you still need to continue to cultivate this love with him.
"... It's great to have you, Arisu."
"You're welcome, chirp." Regardless of other people's "horrifying" looks, he gently placed a kiss on the side of Rider's mask that smelled of grass and flowers. After giving him a mark of her own, the shy girl finally reluctantly let go of the hug. All her thoughts were in the tacit understanding between each other.
"However, Ash, what are you now..."
Faced with Rikka's questions, Ash also gave his own answer.
"Just think of it as being awakened by your hearts. After all, it is your credit that my heart, which is empty and only seeks violence, can be filled again with something warmer like 'love'."
"You are my first time at Pretty Cure. This is a gentler first time than any other time in the past. It is the beginning when I finally have the opportunity to calm down."
"DokiDoki Precure, thank you."
"Hey, ah, this..."
It was the first time for the four people in front of them to be so solemnly thanked by Ash. They had never thought about such a situation. Even Arisu, who had always been calm and calm, suddenly became a little happy and panicked. He didn't even know how to answer.
"No, you're welcome—Dad, Ash! Ugh!"
Makoto, who was almost used to slips of the tongue, quickly changed her words. Biting her tongue with pain and tears almost coming out, she felt sadly that she might not be able to get through this matter.
"However, meeting you feels like a dream. Although it is realistic, it is also as happy as a dream."
When I think of the stories that happened with them, whether they were meaningful or ridiculous, although I feel a little sad, Ash doesn't feel any regret when I recall them at this moment.
After all, he has already woken up from his sweet dream.
"In that case, why did Ash sacrifice that day?"
"The price of having unrealistic dreams will be very high." Ash shook his head slowly. "I haven't forgotten that."
"This is not an unrealistic dream!"
At this moment, Rikka's suddenly louder anger interrupted Ash's words. "Everyone is qualified to be happy. No matter what you have experienced in the past, you are also qualified!"
Always listening to Ash's self-destructive speech, now Rikka is finally angry.
"Mana She must think so too!"
Chapter 29 Favorite, Hated Most
Although it was a rare reunion after a long absence, the unexpected tenderness shown by the "Ash" in front of them, especially when they were all so happy that they were so happy, Hishikawa Rikka had a vague premonition in his heart that he seemed to... want to leave us again.
Although she still didn't understand what he meant, even if it was just a guess without any feeling, her heart would feel a dull pain just thinking about this possibility. At this moment, Rikka, who was not around Mana, tried her best to pull him back again even if her character collapsed.
"Mana! I also have Arisu, including everyone Pretty Cure who has met you. Everyone should hope so. If this is not enough, we will work hard for you!"
"Keep working hard until your empty heart is filled with a better feeling like love, and you can enjoy the same happiness with us again!"
Ash seemed to be shocked by Rikka's long series of sincere words. After the long speech, Rikka took a deep breath and exhaled. It was only under the surprised eyes of others that he realized how shameful and sincere words he had said. His face became increasingly red as he took a short breath in a small voice.
"This... thank you."
I, I, I - what I said is not a complete confession!
"No, you're welcome, ugh!"
Rikka, who responded hurriedly, almost bit his tongue because he was so anxious.
No, no, Mana! Think about Mana, Mana is the one who said she likes Ash. If she admits it here... how can I betray Mana her! I'm not... I'm not...
However, to be honest, if you have to choose between Mana and Ash.
Which side should I choose?
In just a short moment, Rikka's little mind was thinking about many things rapidly. Thinking about it, she actually prefers a quiet campus life to being noisy, but as her childhood sweetheart Mana, she loves helping others so much. Although Rikka trusts her very much, in order to prevent her from causing trouble to others, she often needs to be troubled and even responsible for stopping her.
It was probably at this time that I was infected with the instinct to want to help people in need. If you think about it this way, Ash-sensei always likes to cause a lot of trouble, even when I was a maid, so I always stopped it and couldn't help but help.
It is precisely in this way that love and Ash... both of them have become very important people to me.
Hmm, can't I have both? If you want all the answers, you would be a little greedy, right?
Wait, so that's what the previous Mana thought at that time?!
Suddenly, Rikka felt as if he had discovered a blind spot.
"It's really amazing Rikka." Pretending not to notice her previous reaction that she blushed so much that she was almost dripping with water, Ash continued to praise naturally.
"A literary girl who usually likes to be quiet can go beyond her own personality and work hard to this extent when encountering something important."
"Beyond one's own character... No, this is..." Listening to Ash's praise, the blue-haired girl, whose body was still warm, could not help but hold her face again. She could hardly control her expression. "No, that's not the case... I just want you to stay with us longer."
"Thank you, Rikka, for being able to say such powerful words to people who always bully you."
"Ah wow... ah wow... we..."
At this time - what should I say at this time! Mana Please help me, Rikka I am really going to become someone unlike myself!
Raising her tearful eyes, the pitiful blue-haired girl unconsciously approached Rider in front of her.
"Ash..."
Rikka, who was already shy, was filled with hot shame. The shy Huaichun girl's voice was like a mosquito buzzing, all the way down to a whimper that only she could understand.
"Rikka."
Sniffing the inexplicable sour smell, Makoto, whose face was slightly red, pretended to be fine and raised his head to count the stars in the sky.
"Miss Arisu, the atmosphere is getting more and more subtle..." Aguri, who also felt uncomfortable with the subtle atmosphere that seemed to be rising between the two, hesitated to speak and suggested to the eldest lady who held her slightly tilted face with one elegant hand. "After all, you are very familiar with both Rikka and Ash. Are you just looking at me and not planning to say anything?"
"It's a good thing that Rikka, who is usually too dull, can have the opportunity to vent his feelings and take his own feelings more seriously." Maintaining the indifferent expression on his face like grass and green leaves, Arisu's smiling expression showed no trace of displeasure. "It's rare for Ash-sensei, who always gets into trouble, to be honest with girls. This is also a good thing."
How could I be unhappy like this?
"Let's fall in love with that fiery blood, girl. Well... I'm not in love either."
"Oh my——Pretty Cure, why did you become like this! You said that we have all become girls in love!"
Desperate! Aguri I despair of this small team whose Pretty Cure people have their hearts stolen by Ash and then become love brains!
As the atmosphere in front of him gradually slipped into the softer "abyss", Rider gently raised two fingers and tapped Rikka's forehead.
