"There's another one here... you can't pronounce a single sound unless you're asked to do so. Didn't your band director teach you that?"
Just as he was talking, Ash, whose nostrils were twitching slightly, smelled a scent similar to his own from this person, which made him couldn't help but reveal an innocent smile.
"You still have the same faint smell of misfortune and darkness as the other white-haired woman? Could it be that you were from the villain side in the past, right?"
"Gu..." Although it was not clear how he knew this, the girl who had been reluctant to face him in the past turned her head away and resolutely never looked at him again.
"As the loser now, do you feel any regrets? How about I give you a chance and become mine."
"I-I will never become the diva who sang unfortunate melodies again!"
"If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink as a penalty!" After being rejected, someone was a little angry and threw away the people on his hands and feet. After raising his hand and snapping his fingers, four more crosses with their names engraved on them rose up from the ground bound them.
"But it doesn't matter. I'm interested in training you to become a singer who sings specifically for me."
"You——" Hojo Hibiki endured the tighter and tighter pain on the cross and shouted in his direction, "Miyuki-chan, the man they are talking about should not be such a person. What on earth are you like!"
This person... if he were a human being, he would be too bad! After all, is he really still human after doing all this?!
"I'm just myself, and living only for myself is the way Ash should be!" The extremely arrogant man stared directly at the four people's faces, making them unable to look directly at them.
Miyuki Really... Okay, I will let you see my cruel side, and then you will be surprised, but now.
"Now, what do you want to do with us?"
The experience of fighting other enemies in the past was completely useless in front of this guy. Feeling the chains on his chest and hands getting tighter and tighter, Kanade Minamino, who had never been so humiliated before, looked into the eyes of Ash who was grinning, and there was a little more fear.
"That's a good question~ The result is of course that I will take you back as the trophies of my victory and promote my power to the ignorant civilians who are just being protected!"
By the way, let that woman take a good look! snort! What do you mean she is the Pretty Cure version of me... What a liar, how could I be so out of tune?
"Besides, I would like to raise some canaries with nice chirps~"
Alright!
The man, excited about such a battle, licked his lips.
Now, he seems to be getting more and more skilled.
"Who's next?"
"Sure enough!"
Karen shook his head helplessly and closed the phone. Although the Suite Pretty Cures on the other end of the signal had already made calls, no one answered them. I'm afraid the situation was already in danger.
"Everyone!" Several groups of girls who had been in contact with Ash stood up, with a little pleading in their complicated eyes. "If you can, please give us Ash..."
"I know." The seniors from the other three groups looked at me and I looked at you, and finally made up their minds at the same time.
Even if it's a lie... we can't really let them fight Ash. This is too cruel for them!
If possible, even if they may be resented, others are determined to end this battle in their own hands!
Chapter 50 A Before the War
"Then, once the trace of that person is found." Shaking his transformed mobile phone, Nozomi Yumehara repeated to everyone who had left each other's phone numbers. "I will inform everyone immediately to come over and rescue Hibiki and Love!"
"Of course, let's go!"
Starting at the entrance of the coffee shop and ending at the entrance of Nasta, the girls divided into their respective groups and headed in different directions.
Ash... We are here, be prepared!
Ash... Waiting for us!
Girls with different consciousnesses in their arms embark on a road ahead that is destined to not be smooth sailing.
"They're leaving."
"So Ash, why don't we go with them now?"
Seeing a group of girls walking out of Nasta Café as if they were not acknowledging their relatives, there was a BGM playing behind them and they were preparing to fight with leather jackets. Among the four people standing on the rooftop opposite, Regina asked A with some confusion.
"Although it is indeed a bit troublesome that your big pineapple is falling apart, but as long as you explain it carefully and I will help you speak, at least the blue woman and the one named Yotsuba will listen, right?"
Regina's eyes were focused on Heartbeat Team, and he looked back when he found that Aida Mana was still missing. The bow on his head also hung down with a somewhat unhappy mood.
Hmm... I feel like if Mana joins in, it will be interesting to know that Ash actually has Pretty Cure's good friends in other worlds, right?
Of course, it might just be scary.
"Generally speaking, at times like this, the more people you have to deal with a strong enemy, the better... Ah, Ash, do you want to be a hero again like last time? I don't allow-"
"No more!"
Probably thinking of the time when Ash fought Jikochu Progenitor all by himself in order to regain his love. Regina suddenly became excited and was about to yell. A was so frightened that A quickly acted silently in front of Regina for fear that she would be exposed now, so he could only helplessly continue to explain to her.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that the other me who dares to fight Pretty Cure on my own must have his support."
"And now the enemy is showing it and I'm hiding it. After he defeated me once, he probably felt proud that I was no longer a threat, so he hasn't come here to cause trouble yet, so!"
You and I must act as a surprise force and give him a hard blow from behind at the critical moment!
There is only one chance.
"You create opportunities, and I will confront him directly!"
"Hey, A, is that what you originally thought?" Ayumi was shocked when he heard A's statement. After all, in the last battle, it was "Ash" who held down her and A alone.
Why can't A think about this? Do you still want to fight with him?
"Could it be that... does A have any experience in winning now?"
"That's right." Thinking of the existence surging in his originally empty body, A nodded with relief.
At least, there is already a step forward from zero to one.
"That's it." Dark Precure also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "So, you are confident that you can win?"
"No, it's only four or six... I'm afraid it's three or seven. I'm three and he's seven."
"Then you still want to do such a thing?" Even Dark Precure couldn't help but frown. "If you were really half of Ash, you shouldn't be so stupid."
"Just because I am half of Ash, I can only choose this way."
This is the only way I can do it, by risking everything.
Only then can the wish come true, let Ash come back again.
"..."
The condescending Dark Precure changed his gaze and stared from above at the back of Tsukikage Yuri, who was changing the waiter's uniform in the store and hurriedly cleaning up the store. He didn't know what he was thinking about for a while before he put away his gaze and walked back to everyone.
"A, watch their route." Seeing the Pretty Cure group starting to disperse one by one after leaving the store, Dark Precure narrowed his eyes and observed their route. "They are acting separately, probably to find the other you as soon as possible."
"That would be the fault of the other me." A couldn't help but sigh. "Just like your favorite food is always saved for last, Miyuki and the Precures I have come into contact with should also be left for last, but for others... this is really a crime."
A, who came from the same school, can guess how the other one prepared. These legendary warriors naturally have good ideas. For example, one of the groups found out and dragged Ash, and then called their friends to fight in a group... But "Ash" would not give them a chance to contact them.
This time, there was really enough fighting.
"These people... are they Pretty Cure?"
Ayumi, who was slightly afraid of heights, lay on the edge of the railing on the rooftop and carefully looked down, feeling slightly obsessed with the backs of the girls with different hair colors below.
"?"
When a few of the people with more sensitive intuitions vaguely noticed their sight and looked this way, the girl quickly retracted her head in panic and patted her little heart to soothe her little heart, even though she knew that the other party would not be able to see her without transforming from such a long distance.
Is this a genuine legendary warrior... What a powerful force.
"Don't think too much Ayumi." Sensing the girl's mood, A also raised his hand and patted the girl on the head to comfort her. "These people are the legendary beings you will become in the future."
"Can I... become as powerful as them?"
"Who knows, but you've already taken the first step, haven't you?"
In my opinion, this is already very impressive, isn't it?
Listening to A's words and feeling the warmth coming from the top of her head, the girl nodded slightly and tightened her grip on the transformer in her arms.
Sure enough, the only person who would acknowledge me so definitely is you.
At the same time, something subtle seemed to be quietly arising from Ayumi's no longer peaceful heart.
"Ash, Ash!"
"A."
Regina and Dark Precure are also standing behind him, and together with Ayumi, they are ready to go.
"If you're not going to start right now."
"Then what are we going to do?"
Surrounding A, the third force as the villain and Precure is also quietly rising in the darkness.
"Go hunting."
With a crisp snap of his fingers, OOO Driver appeared on his waist.
"Now, I need coins."
"A lot of coins."
Standing next to A, looking at his profile expression that is completely different from Ash when he is serious, even Dark Precure can't help but chuckle.
"Happy hunting."
Chapter 51 Ashu Before the war begins
On the other side, in the underground base that serves as the enemy's base camp, in a dark (no lights) and humid (no cleaning) room, the four "Fresh Pretty Cure" who were captured after the defeat, the former flowers of the high mountain and partners of justice, are suffering disgusting abuse from the evil villain...
"Ah~ come on, open your mouth and eat some more?"
"No... no need..." Facing the donut that was about to hit his nose, Momozono Love, whose mouth was covered with powdered sugar crumbs, turned his acid reflux mouth to one side in embarrassment.
I can't eat anymore. Although I'm very grateful that you can feed us... but I really can't eat anymore...
"What a pity. Well... the donuts you have are delicious."
Ashu, who was slightly addicted to feeding Pretty Cure, bit off half of the sugar donut on his hand and immediately showed a happy expression.
Ah~ it's sugar! Sure enough, no matter what I say, I just can't refuse sugar! Go to hell with all the so-called weight loss products like sugar substitutes! Sweetness without sugar is meaningless!
With a loud argument in his heart, Ashu placed the donuts bought from a cart in a park according to the instructions of Momozono Love and the others next to him, ready to enjoy them, and naturally sat down with his legs crossed.
"That..."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Okay, let us go?"
"No way."
Licking the powdered sugar on her thumb, Ashu cutely rejected their request again.
Ever since they were captured as trophies by Ash, the girls who were still tied to the cross had been in a coma most of the time. But now that they were awake, they saw this girl who was quite similar to themselves. Especially since the other party took great care of them but always maintained a sense of aloofness, the four of them could not judge what the other party's attitude was.
"Um... Miss Ashu?" Although the unexpected chat with the other party was quite pleasant, Inori Yamabuki asked her tentatively when faced with Ashu who was determined not to let go of them. "Are you that person's companion...?"
"Yes." Ashu, who put the remaining donut into his mouth with a squeaking sound and felt the melting sugar on his tongue with a look of enjoyment, admitted directly. "What do you mean? Now I am seeking the skin of a tiger and colluding with him."
"No, there's no need to say that..."
Although they already had the answer in their hearts, they still felt a little unbelievable when Ashu actually admitted it.
After all, they also vaguely sensed that the pure and beautiful miraculous power of Mugen that existed in Ashu was the power of Pretty Cure no matter how you looked at it!
"You... since you are Pretty Cure!" Setsuna Higashi struggled to free himself from the iron chain on his hand, but he still asked her with a stern voice. "Why, why do you want to be an accomplice with that person!"
You are a legendary warrior, a member of Pretty Cure! How can you sell your soul to the devil!?
"I am indeed Pretty Cure, but why can't I stand on the side of evil?"
Ashu's overly confident tone made Setsuna confused for a moment.
