The so-called I don't know how to love?
I'm not interested! These are just insignificant things!
"Power, only power can determine everything in the world!"
After all, isn't it proof of Pretty Cure's ability to crush darkness with justice?
I didn't do anything wrong! It would be better to say that the power is not enough and more power is needed!
Seize the power of Pretty Cures, and then do anything that Assassin Matters have not been able to do - I will decide the fate of this fused world!
Finally, he looked back at Ai, who was placed on the ground by him. Ash turned his head back resolutely and did not look at it again.
After figuring everything out and erasing the unnecessary emotions, Ash gave up the idea of taking Aida Mana back now.
For the sake of strength, I must block unnecessary emotions now. She will see everything in the future, and then she will definitely find me again like before!
And that stupid guy... He obviously had a chance, but he gave up and gave the opportunity to me, didn't he?
Therefore, Mana they will see my power!
By then, even Aida Mana will agree with everything I do!
Chapter 41 I came up with a great sideshow
"So."
Shifting his gaze to the blurry figure in the distance, his sharp expression instantly returned to his original, full of arrogant Ash appearance.
"Humph, I really saw the wonderful after-effects~~!"
If I can have more power, then I can also get all the emotions, from Pretty Cure and their miraculous emotional power!
Since they love me in my memory, I will let them stay with me forever!
And you, the loser, the burned-out ash residue, can only look at me - watch me, the real Ash, get this incision!
Originally, of course I planned to eradicate it, but now I have changed my doctrine.
After realizing the gap in "power", it feels like your spine has been broken now. You can no longer be so arrogant, right?
"But it's such a pity."
Do you know what is the saddest thing about me? I think we could have been friends. After all, I don't mind having a mirror that reflects my strength.
However, the whole thing about you fighting Homare for so-called love really got on my nerves.
People like Ash have nothing to do with these things, right?
"Life is a game, and making everything easier will make you feel better."
With his back to the unconscious Mana, he walked towards the four lying girls. Ash raised his hand and called upwards. Four bone crosses pierced the ground and rose out of thin air.
"Momozono Love", "Miki Aono", "Inori Yamabuki", "Setsuna Higashi", the names of the four defeated Pretty Cure were clearly written on it.
"In games, there are winners and losers, so the other me, Fresh Pretty Cure."
A crisp snap of fingers started from between his fingers.
"You're out."
Several chains popped out from the cross and were quickly tightened around the girl's neck, hands and feet. The four people, who had lost their strength after being defeated, could only make the chains on their bodies tighter no matter how they sobbed and struggled. Finally, they were "nailed" to the cross in the shape of a large cross.
"What is this... stop..."
"No, hate-"
"So tight... the chest is too tight!"
"Okay~"
Ignoring the screams of the girls, Ash geared up and walked towards the darkness on the other side with great interest.
Although the woman recommended that I should continue to hibernate, I am no longer interested in enduring it. My strength has long been restored to full capacity, and my goal is equally clear.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
At this moment, Ash, whose body and mind were clear in purpose and extremely cheerful, just looked up to the sky and smiled, letting his hearty voice soar into the sky.
"Go on!"
Defeat their bodies and minds, and seize their glory and power!
"Pretty Cure (Precure)'s hunting game!"
A didn't want to die, so he called for help from the people he knew. Even if it would be embarrassing and shameless to survive, he just wanted to live now.
"If you don't want to die, stand up and continue fighting against the things that stand in the way of your survival."
However, no one responded to his request.
The only person who responded to him was himself named Ash.
"Ah..."
"Great A, you finally woke up!"
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a somewhat familiar version of the ceiling. This was Ayumi's room. Judging from the warm touch on her hand, this girl must have been holding her hand tightly and waiting for him, never letting go.
He didn't know how the girl brought him back, nor did he know what happened after he said goodbye to Mana and lost consciousness... But the only instinct he could think of now was that he didn't want to die yet.
"Ayumi..."
"Yeah!"
"Coins... are there any more?"
"Ah, yes!" Ayumi immediately took out the bag from somewhere in the room, and the silver-white Cell Medal dropped it on the bed. These were all the things they found while fighting monsters together.
"You may not want to see the next scene."
After a battle with "Ash", he was reminded of a certain essential aspect of himself and what it was all about.
If you talk about power... then I can only accept power now.
"No!" He didn't seem to hear the warning in A's voice. Ayumi thought he was trying to lie to her again and shook his head. "You're seriously injured, I can't leave you—!"
Before she even finished speaking, the girl witnessed a completely "horrifying" scene. As the shadow cast on the wall in front of her eyes gradually distorted and grew, Ayumi, who felt extremely shocked from her face to her heart, opened her eyes wide in fear, and quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from shouting.
The A in front of her changed from the original tattered human form to a degenerate distortion. It did not look like any animal. The human-shaped object, which seemed to come from an ancient monster, appeared in front of her. As it crazily devoured the coins in front of her, the injuries on its body began to gradually recover.
A also remembered again that the only "soul" part that belonged to the real Ash was summoned here by Assassin Matter who could control the dream. As for the "flesh" that belonged to humans, it still remained in the system, so to a certain extent, A, like his other self, both belonged to the "Greeed" (Greeed) that was transformed into the soul part of Ash that represented desire.
Even to himself, this form is just an empty shell without any power... But after listening to some of the other party's "advice", he finally chose to face it all.
Even if it means he will lose everything he has now... huh?
The monster who noticed something slowly turned his head, and saw Ayumi, who was trembling with tears in the corners of his eyes, also looking at him. The girl's trembling little hand was still wrapped in her alienated claws, and she had no intention of moving away.
"You..."
I am part of the remnant of the "monster" Ash, so I am also a monster...
Aren't you going to run?
Obviously, he is just an ordinary human being with no special skills, right?
"A... still belongs to A, right?"
The girl's voice sounded like she was about to cry, but she still had no intention of letting go, and just looked at him a little aggrievedly.
"Then... in that case, A will still be my friend..."
"Ayumi has very few friends... only Miyuki and A your... so..."
Even though he knew it was terrible, Ayumi still couldn't separate it.
Especially the wonderful adventures we experienced together are very important memories for Ayumi even if they were not so long ago! Therefore, she didn't want to leave everything and leave the young man in front of her!
"You... are actually a good person, right?"
"..."
I don't know.
Am I A? I am Ash?
Am I... your friend now?
A didn't speak, but the somewhat terrifying strange human form slowly degraded, and after returning to A's original posture that was familiar to Ayumi, the two pairs of eyes stared at each other, unable to look away for a long time.
Chapter 42 Ash compared with A
"Great! Great!"
The excited girl even temporarily forgot about her fear of being in contact with others. As if she was afraid that A in front of her would run away again, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, letting the tears continue to flow out and soaked the clothes on his chest.
I knew that A was indeed A! Even if it's not a human but a monster... it's still an A!
This is the only thing that won't change!
"Ayumi..."
"A, you look like you are about to leave and are about to die, it really scares me to death! It's great that the injury can be healed, but... don't lie to me again! I will really! Really be scared if you do this..."
"Sorry."
"No..." The girl who couldn't stop crying with tears in her eyes shook her head in response to his apology. "Nice to meet you, A!"
After being used as a pillow and allowed to be held and coquettish for a while, A, who felt warm in his heart, finally coaxed the little girl who had cried out again.
"That A, although I'm a little embarrassed... but I saw it before."
The two people were speechless and just sat on the edge of Ayumi's bed. As the sun slowly set as time went by, the girl beside them asked a question with some embarrassment.
"You and that beautiful red-haired girl are... she, is she also Pretty Cure?"
Ayumi, who was somewhat unsure, first asked questions about Pretty Cure.
"Yeah."
A nodded slightly and admitted.
"Then, can you tell me... did you know each other in the past, are you friends?" After receiving a positive reply from the other party, the girl immediately couldn't help but follow up and asked.
If A has known Pretty Cure from the beginning, why did he come to me...
"I don't know what to say."
I am Ash, but Ash is not me?
"[Ash] has met many Pretty Cure friends and has accumulated many deep bonds with them."
"That's it..."
At this moment, the girl who was hesitant to speak could finally feel the sadness conveyed by the expressionless A without any reservation.
"Love, Lei, Miyuki."
"Arisu, Yuri, Reika..."
"Rikka, Itsuki, Akane..."
Even, even including Makoto, Aguri, Erika, Yayoi, straight them...
One name after another was spoken from his deep voice.
"I can feel them."
The memories I inherited tell me so.
"But I can't touch them."
But I can't admit it, I am too much and not enough for Ash.
"A..."
She had never seen someone of the opposite sex show such a vulnerable side in front of her. Ayumi felt that the sentimentality in her heart seemed to be aroused. She couldn't help but put her hand on his back and slowly caress him to comfort him.
