"So, I'm really lucky to have met you when I was at my worst."
Hearing these words, Rikka, who was still shy at first, reacted immediately.
This is exactly the same as when he left us.
"Sand..."
Ryuga's figure began to gradually become illusory in front of the girls, and Rider's figure turned into countless tiny particles and began to float upwards, disintegrating in front of them.
"Ash——!"
"Don't worry, our meeting with you doesn't end here." Long Ya stopped them and continued to speak seriously. "Listen up, the enemy you are facing now is also me!"
"How could..."
"Then, Aida Mana, Mana is one of the keys to this incident. In short, if you still see other Pretty Cure, please be a little tolerant. I really want to see you fighting side by side."
By the time they were halfway through, half of the dragon's teeth had already disappeared, and they were decomposing and disappearing much faster than they imagined.
"Help me apologize to Mana. I'm really sorry that I can't visit her this time..."
"If you want to apologize, go do it yourself!"
What was a little unexpected was that everyone decisively rejected this request. Judging from their performance, no one would have anything to say to them. The helpless Ryuga could only smile and raise his hands that had already melted.
"I know, then I can only ask the other person to apologize to her."
Also, there is another thing that needs to be said that I didn't know until now.
"And Rikka, you don't have to call everyone to get me back, since that's what you want to say to me."
Rikka, whose feelings were revealed in one word, didn't even have time to panic before he could only hear the last words Ash gave him with a slight smile.
"Since you like me, you should be more confident and say it yourself."
"Who, who has liked you! Ash People like this who always leave without saying goodbye are the most annoying!"
Facing the empty space in front of him that had completely disappeared, Rikka, with tears in his eyes, loudly vented his "hateful" words.
Chapter 30: Intersecting swords, intersecting memories
Facing the pursuit of King Kamen Rider, Cure Beauty and Cure Peace are fighting with all their strength in their own way, but they seem quite absent-minded in front of that sword. Neither the flying ice crystals nor the escaped Raiden can catch his figure, and they can only evacuate elsewhere as they are constantly being chased.
It would be great if Miyuki was here... After all, she has a criminal record to back her up. The girl who subconsciously thought so quickly shook her head and did not think about this possibility. After all, the current battle is still going on and if she still wants to rely on others, then there is no need for this battle.
Now, are we going to exchange our strength for Ash this time?
"Ash!" The blue-haired girl ducked down and twisted to avoid the blow from the holy sword above her head, then shouted loudly. "That sword, Dark Sword Tsukuyomi, allowed you to see what happened to Mirai, right?"
"In that case, what kind of Mirai did you see that would make you do such a thing!?"
The air cut by the holy sword also turned into a sharp blade of wind that could cut their skin. The two girls, who were suppressed by the sword wind and were quite embarrassed, even stepped back on their feet. After Bi's sharp edge passed by, Yayoi, who kept retreating with lingering fear, was tripped by a stone on his heel and fell to the ground. He fell to the ground facing Rider and made a sound of pain.
"It hurts... Onii-sama! Please answer me quickly! Your Yayoi and Reika are both here - Akane and Miyuki are here too. They all miss you very much. Why don't you answer us!"
Yayoi remembered at this moment that although she had heard Miyuki talk about Ash's "past", it was not until she actually met the girls who were also familiar with Ash that Yayoi confirmed that her brother seemed to be traveling in different worlds as if he was filming a special photo shoot.
However, since that unforgettable trip to the chemical plant and the body swap incident, Yayoi's view of Ash will not change.
Those Pretty Cure people who become so mean when they talk about you, Yayoi I don't believe the "bad things" they said about you! Although Ash does go too far sometimes, he always thinks of us and protects our heroes! I have always believed in Onii-sama so much!
It would be great if everyone gets along well! It's just that it seems too difficult for a "simple" wish like Yayoi to be realized at this time.
Yayoi, who was struggling to resist, kept calling him, but Wang Jian remained unmoved. He then stabbed Yayoi directly on the ground with his backhand sword. At the critical moment, Reika quickly grabbed her collar and offered a hand, and then narrowly and dangerously opened the distance between him and Wang Jian.
It seems that the current Wang Jian is not only the Riddler's, but has even turned back into the "stranger" who didn't listen to them.
"Yayoi, what we should do now is."
"Yeah, I understand...!"
In this situation, Yayoi, who finally understood that words alone seemed unable to adjust the situation, wiped away his last tears and re-energized himself to prepare to fight!
Yayoi Although I still love to cry a little, I have gradually changed in a strong direction... Then if it is for someone important, I will definitely fight harder!
Because I am a hero too!
"Ash... I didn't expect that I would have to fight you again now."
With a soft sigh, Reika, who was actually feeling heavier than Yayoi, remembered everything that happened on the day of "Ash Rainy Revenge Night".
Her insistence on pursuing the "right path" was interrupted by everyone's sincere actions. Her heart was almost broken. If she hadn't been forgiven and healed by Ash on the night before the war, she probably wouldn't be able to face him now.
However, what made her feel ironic was that not long after, she had to face this Rider again.
Then, Ash, if you can still see Mirai, please tell me that my choice at this moment is correct."
"Tao"?
Wang Jian naturally had no intention of replying to Reika's thoughts, but silently raised the sword in his hand and continued walking towards the girl.
"I understand."
Looking at the red goggles that showed no will, the girl sighed softly and condensed a slender ice crystal sword from the cold air in her hand.
You once told me that as long as I choose to face it instead of escaping, then the way I should do it——
"Then he will appear in front of me!"
Recalling the scenes of kendo practice in the dojo, the blue-haired girl held the sword by her side with her left hand. Taking a deep breath, she swept her left foot back and pointed her right shoulder in the direction of Rider in front of her. Her other hand and her left hand rested on the non-existent hilt of the ice sword, and she quietly looked like she was about to unsheath the sword.
"Hokushin Ittō-ryū Aoki Reika——If it is Wang Jian, he is enough to be my opponent!"
"——!"
A sharp sound like the sound of a bell sounded from in front of them. Wang Jian, who had been suppressing the two people with poor mentality, was pushed off the ground by the force from the other side for the first time and flew backwards. The Battō-jutsu that burst out in front of Reika collided with the Dark Sword without any flaws. Countless shining and freezing ice crystals flew in their previous direction.
"Kacha——"
He silently sat up from the ground and picked up the holy sword that had been frozen on the ground. When the sword was pointing in the direction of Reika again, a bright yellow figure flashing with electricity stood in front of him.
"If my brother insists on doing this, Yayoi will not retreat no matter what!"
The hand knife wrapped with electricity kept colliding with the holy sword. At this moment, Yayoi did not shy away from the sharp side that he had once been very afraid of. Even those who took the initiative to attack desperately tried to push him back.
Although I don't know much about love, it seems that there are many people who like Ash... But on the other hand, as the "sister", I am the only one Yayoi, right?
In this case, Yayoi I will have to make you Ash even more proud!
"Yayoi!"
Reika and Yayoi held each other's hands, and together they flipped in the air and landed a double flying kick on Wang Jian's chest, which was hard to resist at the moment, sending it flying through the glass behind him.
Although we are young girls, we have seen many hell scenes, whether it is Tragedy Kingdom or Gagu, so we believe that we will get through it smoothly this time, together with Ash!
Chapter 31 The Best Smile (4K5)
If possible, neither Yayoi nor Reika have any intention of fighting Ash. After all... they thought that the mistakes and misunderstandings in the past were in the past.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times they called, the girls' voices never received a response. Wang Jian continued to fight with them like a ruthless robot.
"Drink!"
The two girls lowered their heads simultaneously to dodge the sword that was attacking their leader, and then shouted loudly and swung their fists, punching Rider in the abdomen, causing him to kneel to the ground.
There is no doubt that Pretty Cure's performance is superior to Wang Jian's armor which is purely composed of fantasy power. What's more, whether they are opponents or comrades, they already have enough understanding of Ash's power, including how to fight with it correctly.
This means that when they make up their minds, the outcome of victory is actually already determined.
"Ash, if this moment is the test you set for us."
After pulling away from Wang Jian in front, Smile Pact was squeezed tightly in the hands of the girls and accumulated yellow and blue light power.
"Then, in order to show the results of our growth, the only thing we can do for Onii-sama is to go all out!"
If your current opponent is Ash, then you will be more aware not to take a step back!
for our purposes. For the past we fought together with Ash.
"Precure Beauty Blizzard ArrowI (Pretty Cure Beautiful Blizzard Arrow)!"
Reika The ice crystal sword condensed in her hands turned into a double-edged long bow when the sword heads were combined with each other. Her frost-covered fingertips pulled out an arrow frozen in cold air from her back, imitating the flying arrow that had penetrated the bullseye that day. The girl who pulled the bow string made of light aimed at the king sword and released her hand!
The Li Xian Ice Arrow drew a frozen light blue path in the air and quickly pierced Rider's breastplate. The huge ice cube that exploded instantly froze and sealed it in it.
"Precure Peace Thunder Hurricane (Pretty Cure Peace Lightning hurricane)!"
Yayoi's body emitted light yellow, and his whole body began to spin at high speed with Raiden flashes. He raised his hands with tears in his eyes and released a large number of Raiden condensed into light beams in a V shape to hit the huge ice crystal.
Crackling~
When the girls put down their hands and waited for the violent lightning flash to go out, Ash was no longer among the ice crystals that shattered like stars. Only the Dark Sword Tsukuyomi was still inserted in the blooming ice flower.
"Reika, Yayoi!"
Miyuki, Akane and others who came from afar also waved their hands and landed next to the two girls who were adjusting their breathing, looking up and down at the two people who were shaking inexplicably.
"We rushed over as soon as we felt your transformed aura... What's wrong, are you injured? Is it okay?"
Zhi asked with concern as he gently patted his friend's trembling back.
"We're fine."
Reika sighed and touched his itchy neck. In the previous battle, Wang Jian did not hit their vital points. Maybe this was also the result of the opponent's mercy.
"It seems that I have been let go..."
He seems to understand a little bit, what it is like to win but not feel happy at all.
"We just encountered the resurrected enemy that our seniors mentioned, which is Wang Jian... But it didn't answer us anyway, so we can only defeat it."
"That's it..."
Seeing Reika's somewhat downcast eyes, Akane, who calmed down her disappointment, also quickly comforted her. "It's okay Reika, at least you stopped other people's plot and didn't let this Wang Jian hurt innocent people."
"We will never let others use the power of Ash again!" Miyuki next to him also said seriously with a rare serious expression.
Everything Gagu did in the past is still vivid in their minds, especially Miyuki, who was the direct victim. She may be the person with the most right to comment on this.
"Yes, if Ash knew about it, he would definitely smile with satisfaction at Reika like this."
Listening to Qian and Miyuki's comfort, their expressions improved a lot. After all, they could almost guess what Ash might say if he had been with him for so long.
"I am an opponent that I can adjust to and fight seriously. I have really grown up." It feels like he would say this.
But...
"Ash... What mood did you bring to see us... and why did you come back?"
Reika, whose lips and tongue were extremely dry, opened his mouth slightly, looking at the holy sword that was left stuck on the ground behind the light, and murmured something unpleasant.
After learning about Ash's previous story from his predecessor Pretty Cure, and finding clues about him from the incoming weirdos, Reika, who is naturally smart, immediately thought of the greatest possibility through reasoning.
Especially when three Ash relics, including the broken sword, were stolen, this further proved the possibility that someone was stealing the power of Ash. This is the worst development that drives their important people to destroy world peace, but it will make good-tempered girls like them unbearable and angry.
But if this requires a duel with Ash, the girls believe that they are mentally prepared not to let Ash down.
But now, when this kind of thing really happens, everyone can't help but feel melancholy. After all, this may be the bad ending between them and Ash...
"You ask, why?"
The voice belonging to Ash sounded from that direction.
"Eh?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the front, awakening the girls from their illusory sadness. When they hurriedly followed the voice, they saw Dark Sword Tsukuyomi surrounded by Zi Yan, trembling on the ground without any wind.
"Of course, Lu it's because of you, all of you."
"Sword——" There was no time to think about the meaning of this sentence. Nao Midorikawa, who was hiding behind Reika, was so shocked that his image was so shattered that he couldn't even speak clearly. "The sword actually spoke!?"
Not only is it talking, but it's also the voice of Ash! Could it be that... Did Ash's soul turn into the Demon Sword Fusangshen because of its unresolved grievances?! Sense, I feel like this is not impossible for Ash... but it's too weird!
Akane and Reika, who have been afraid of ghosts and insects since childhood, were so scared that they hid behind their friends, trembling and trembling, not daring to show their heads. Akane and Reika didn't feel anything about this situation. Next to Yayoi, whose eyes were twinkling and said "I'm very curious", Miyuki, who was stubbornly looking at the sword, didn't feel much better than Nao judging from his trembling legs.
"But you... turn out you can talk!"
Suddenly thinking about this, Reika reacted. If you can speak, you should have spoken earlier! You were even asked to defeat you as a necessary enemy for a time... Isn't it like our love for you is not as good as others' and that's why we didn't recognize it? It's embarrassing!
