So of course I choose to believe you.
After hearing these words, the girl who finally smiled and walked together with A, facing side by side the dark part of the world that was quietly lurking in front of her.
"Do you feel it? Are you ready?"
"Well, coins!"
He raised his hand and threw three small shiny objects to A beside him. A waved his hand and took all of them into his hand without looking. Faced with the strange man who seemed to be pursuing something and gradually emerged from the darkness, the belt and transformer also appeared on the two of them.
"Are you ready? Are you ready to pray? Have you peed your pants?"
Facing the monster's roar of resistance, the two people who were gearing up just continued to press forward.
"After all, here we are!"
However, there is something else I care about...
As if he felt something, A, who was standing next to the excited Ayumi, raised his head and looked in a certain direction, his eyes twinkling slightly.
is it you?
What are you planning to do... you can't pretend you didn't see it.
"Whoa, what's going on!"
The pink Precure to which Fresh Pretty Cure belongs, "Momozono Love", one of the girls with the most impressive figures among the Pretty Cure who have appeared so far, is standing in front of a vending machine with a confused expression.
"Why are there no drinks?" He pressed the button above helplessly, but the vending machine remained silent without any response. "Could it be said that he swallowed coins?"
I was obviously buying some drinks for everyone who went to buy donuts, but why did this happen... Why don't you try and see if you can kick the drinks out of it... Ah, no, it's too rude and will damage the machine.
"Ah!" Seeing someone walking up to the vending machine and about to insert coins, the girl quickly reminded her. "No, this vending machine will swallow coins - ah, you have already invested in it."
Seeing that the boy had already put the coin in, and just as she was about to comfort the other person who was suffering from the same problem as her, she saw the boy slamming the button of unknown meaning in the center of the machine. With a clicking sound of the mechanical combination deforming, the vending machine fell down and transformed into a motorcycle, and people sat on it.
"What are you talking about?"
After leaving this sentence, A turned the accelerator and drove "Ride Vender" to ride away, leaving only a long back for the dumbfounded girl.
"Huh————?!"
"Miki, Kiri, Setsuna, listen to me!"
The girl who failed to buy a drink and was shocked by the little Kougami Foundation was stuttering to describe what just happened to her companions, but the three of them all tilted their heads in unison to express their incomprehension.
"Even if you say so, love." Inori Yamabuki expressed dissent and helplessly spread his hands. "The vending machine turns into a motorcycle or something. Isn't that a scene that only appears in special photography films?"
"That's right." Miki Aono on the side also agreed deeply and looked at her slightly worriedly. "I didn't even know that Love actually likes such boyish things?"
"So! That person just now is like this -" Momozono Love also threw a coin into the vending machine next to him and patted it hard, but except for a bottle of Oronamin C falling down normally, nothing happened.
"Well..."
Setsuna Higashi, who gently leaned his forehead against the opponent's forehead through the thickness of his palm, made a suspicious nasal sound after careful comparison.
"I don't have a fever... Could it be that Love is worried about the new enemy this time because he is too tired, so he saw it wrong? Or maybe he was attracted by what happened in the third group Pretty Cure, so much that he had hallucinations?"
"Well... I do care about Lei and the others' relationship with a certain person of the opposite sex... but that's not the reason!"
Could it be that I really saw it wrong?
Just when she was feeling self-doubt, she saw A riding a motorcycle not far behind her friends and turned back again. Then, after seemingly pressing something on it, in front of her, she performed a Cybertron-level compression technology performance that turned the motorcycle back into a vending machine.
"..." Seemingly aware of the gaze here, the young man turned his head and glanced here and ignored it, continuing to run towards the hospital ahead.
"Miki! It's real! This is not an animation, it's real!"
As if being stimulated by something, Momozono Love ran after him while shouting.
desire.
instinct.
It is an important part of the human self.
Appetite, sexual desire, and sleep desire are all kinds of desires that serve as the driving force for human action. Human beings can continue to climb upward and achieve various seemingly impossible deeds. It can even be said that a person without desires is nothing more than a moving mass of flesh.
But similarly, actions that follow desires do not always achieve good results. All kinds of ugly desires often flash in people's minds, and those who can restrain them with reason are the proof that people are human.
And what will happen if his rampant desires and gradually awakening instincts lose his rationality?
This is the case for him now.
"This is sir." Looking at the figure in front of him who was wrapped in a dark coat and approaching like a ghost, the surprised nurse who had just come out of the ward hurriedly stepped forward to ask. "Do you need any help? The ward here cannot be entered at will - Wow!"
The figure just waved his hand at the "thing" in front of him that was in the way. Before he could finish his words, the nurse screamed and hit the wall and fainted.
"What are you doing?!" Seeing this, another hospital staff member immediately tried to stop him. "Sir, this is a hospital. Please stop your violent behavior immediately!"
"Noise! Get away, insect!"
No one can stop him, no one can stop the inhuman thing.
When he reached a ward, the rampaging figure finally stopped. Stopping there, he looked up at the patient profile on the door above his head.
"Aida Mana."
Pushing the door open and twisting off the door handle, the unconcerned figure walked into the girl's ward.
On the hospital bed, the girl with burgundy hair was closing her eyes peacefully. The girl seemed to be experiencing some sweet dream. Her expression was sweet and peaceful. The sunlight streaming in from the window shone on her face, awakening the girl's softness and beauty in the eyes of men.
"Love..."
The man who had acted roughly before slowed down his pace at this time. He stood close to the bed and seemed to want to better enjoy the girl's sleeping face, until he slowly stretched out his hands towards that overly beautiful smiling face.
"Mana..."
You are mine.
"Yo."
A voice exactly like his own sounded from behind, causing him to stop.
"I'm just watching and haven't actually done anything yet. Are you so anxious?"
"Ash?"
Chapter 34 I scold myself
When the "power" part from Ash, or the "other self" suddenly appeared, A, who sensed him through instinct, was so frightened. When he thought he couldn't bear it anymore and planned to trouble himself, he found that he had gone in another direction. Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he accidentally discovered that the place turned out to be a hospital.
When it came to this matter, A, who was lost in thought, could not ignore it.
If the memory I inherited is correct, Ash before the split attacked Ms. Aida Mana in order to collect the three-piece set as soon as possible, and the attack was a bit heavy. Later, through eavesdropping, it was determined that she was sent to the hospital by her companions. If these are combined, the answer can be easily revealed.
You and I are both products of desire. Fortunately, I got help from the right person at the right time. Without restrictions from others, are you choosing not to suppress your desires anymore?
Doesn't even attacking the city to seduce Pretty Cure satisfy your heart? What are you going to do, at least before you are driven to do something irreversible...
Compare, Mana is also over there!
"Sorry Ayumi, I have something I care about, so I have to go and see it."
"Hey, in this case, I will accompany you too?"
Hearing A's sudden speech, Ayumi was stunned for a moment, and then joined in enthusiastically without thinking. Although I don't know what A's plan is, as a friend, I, Sakagami Ayumi, will definitely go and help!
"No need." But after hearing this, A chose to decisively reject her enthusiasm. After all, if he went in that direction, he might run into someone he knew. If he happened to bump into them with Ayumi, and he happened to be recognized (considering their keen intuition, this might be quite possible), and if he happened to be misunderstood... Well, the scene probably wouldn't be too pretty.
"I have my own arrangements for this. Besides, if there is any problem, of course I will contact you as soon as possible." As he said that, he took out a few drink cans with animal icons from the vending machine nearby and handed one of them to her. "Don't worry. I'm not a child. I can still go out and play. Could it be that I lost it?"
"That's not what I meant - well, if A is really inconvenient, I won't ask." Although he was still hesitant to speak, Ayumi, who was holding the green Locust Can, nodded in approval without asking further questions.
"However, if anything happens, you must contact me as soon as possible!"
"We are partners!"
"I know."
The girl's simple concern made him feel touched for a while.
Ayumi, I originally only planned to use you, but I never expected to be trusted by you so much. I am really flattered.
If nothing good has ever happened since I was separated as a broken part, maybe the fate of meeting you is my only luck, maybe.
So...
Looking at the dark figure standing in front of the red-haired girl's hospital bed and slowly turning around, A instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he felt so stressed about facing his "other self".
Ayumi, it's a good thing you're not here, otherwise things would indeed become more troublesome again.
But even though I said that, I am so nervous that my soles of my feet are numb, but I just want to think that it would be nice if you could be by my side and help share the burden...
"Oh, look who's here?"
It seemed that he was not too surprised by A's arrival. "Ash", who was wearing a bone mask, sneered with disdain in his tone.
"A waste who has inherited nothing, represents nothing, and can do nothing."
Ash, who was not in a hurry at all, leaned forward in front of A, lightly brushed the girl's cheek with his fingers, and slowly started to walk around the hospital bed of the girl with a slightly depressed expression. The two began to rotate clockwise.
A, who was quite nervous at first, quickly calmed down, because he found that there was nothing he couldn't fight. He would die anyway. Didn't he die less?
"Why, you came here to visit a patient, but you came here with only a gun and no flowers?" Compared to Ash's direct ridicule, A's yin and yang aura is much more powerful, at least the guy opposite him's originally proud face became vicious to the naked eye.
"Or are you actually planning to reproduce an episode of your favorite EVA here? Oh, man, I advise you not to do it. In this day and age, you can't even pass the trial if you put it on America."
Ash seems to have something to say, but he is just a "child" and is no match for A who talks endlessly.
"So, do we want to keep going like this? Or are we starring in some movie with twin protagonists? Sorry, I forgot. There is still an age gap. If I say I can still be considered a heterosexual child star, you can only temporarily play the role of a stunt double for Ash."
While he was in the mood to talk up and down, A quickly squatted down and lowered his body. The next second, a row of bone spurs pierced the wall behind him, reflecting a frightening and sharp light.
"Shh-"
After covering the frowning Ai again with the quilt, A quickly raised his finger to make a silent gesture.
"Your glib words will only make your situation worse!"
Ash, who lowered his voice, viciously announced his death to A.
"It sounds like you originally planned to let me go."
"Hmph." At this point, Ash, who once again crossed his arms across his chest, once again showed a disdainful expression.
"It's just the residue separated from me. Do you really think of yourself as Ash?"
"To me, you are just some superfluous feelings that are abandoned because they are not needed. Even if I kill you, it will not make me stronger. You are meaningless as an opponent."
"Do you think I don't know? You and that pirate Pretty Cure have been trying to fish in the troubled waters under my hands. Huh, I don't even bother to pay attention to you. I only care about the light and their power that Pretty Cure represents, and you are worthless!"
As he spoke, Ash's longing eyes swept over the beautiful sleeping face of the red-haired girl. He could feel the strength and love transmitted from the other person along with his thoughts. This made him extremely puzzled. He even couldn't help but show up in advance just to find her... Yes, these are proof that she loves me too. Everything I have experienced with her is my treasure, so I want more from her. She is mine, mine!
"It's the same now, Mana she is my thing and has nothing to do with you!"
The expressionless A raised two fingers in front of Ash who opened his arms exaggeratedly like a speech.
"First of all, Ayumi is not a fake, she is a woman worthy of the title Pretty Cure."
A pressed the first finger on his hand.
"Then, Mana is neither yours nor mine, she only belongs to herself. So, you really understand."
Then, he pressed the second one in front of the deep anger.
"What is love?"
Chapter 35: Kill me myself
The doctor who was feeling embarrassed about the situation outside the ward was about to call the police when a sudden explosion from inside the ward startled everyone.
When they rushed in regardless of their own safety, they saw a horrifying scene. Next to the sleepy girl, who was rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, a large open-air hole burning with flames was opened.
"Well, what's wrong..."
