"A? Haha, who is that? I've never heard of this name."
"Is there really someone with this name? Just fall into the bad end obediently! No one will come to save you, and if someone comes, the result will not be the same!"
When the two people were listening to Ayumi's cry for help and felt completely happy, a figure appeared, blocking the light from the hole, and appeared there like a backlight.
"Let her go!"
"Ha~ It's true. Who wants to be a hero?"
After the light from the hole gradually weakened, A revealed his face as a young man who was completely similar to Ash in front of the two bad end who were extremely happy.
The mocking expressions on the faces of the two dark girls were immediately frozen here.
"Ya——"
Leaving behind the unknown passerby girl, the two people immediately turned their attention and quickly came to A, half-kneeling on one knee and bowing their heads to offer their loyalty.
"Lord Ash!"
"?"
Faced with two former enemies who suddenly saluted him, A almost blurted out, "Everyone loves you, please be safe" before he came out.
No, aren't you the guards here? Why... uh, Ash?
Are you referring to the reason Ash?
Somehow, the original enemy suddenly became a friendly controllable unit. Especially the enthusiasm that is visible to the naked eye on the other party. It is no exaggeration to say that A thought that if he let the two of them commit suicide, they might be able to perform a neon traditional performance on the spot with a knife.
"Anyway - let her go first."
"Yes!"
Very obediently, she presented Ayumi, who was still holding her throat and coughing, like a treasure. Until she came back to her senses and lay in A's arms, the girl was still too dizzy to understand the series of things that happened in less than 5 seconds.
Come on, what happened...
"..." He raised his head and took a peek at A's face, which was also full of confusion. Bad end Akane's face also showed a trace of doubt.
Why, this Ash looks so young... Even though it's so cute, I like it very much! But why is it different...
The two women, who had been thinking about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, immediately gave up thinking like bad end Miyuki before. Anyway, the person in front of them was indeed Ash. I just like him the same!
What, why are there two Ash? Is there any harm in this? It is simply a blessing!
As for thinking about whether the details are right or wrong, it is still too difficult for Bad End Precure, which was born less than 24 hours ago.
"So, I am?"
"Of course you are the invincible Lord Ash who defeated the legendary warriors, nineteen Pretty Cure!"
Bad end Nao praised the man in front of him with a proud and flattering face.
"So, you are?"
"Of course I am the tragic beautiful girl who only belongs to you Ash!"
In Ayumi's inexplicably sour eyes, bad end Akane straightened up his perfect curves and said proudly.
"Um... A?" Ayumi, who was hiding behind A's arm and turned his attack, asked cautiously while avoiding the eyes of two pairs of jealous eyes that were about to burn with jealousy. "Do you understand what it's like?"
"Ah." A nodded and said as he put on someone's planned pose. "I probably understand."
Pretty Cure belongs only to Ash.
It is Pretty Cure that only belongs to "Ash". You are indeed not Ash... I don't mean to say that, you should be the same existence as me.
Huh, is this the K-language game mechanism in YGO?
"Ugh!"
Before he could say anything, the two bad ends seemed to have figured out why the current Ash wouldn't resist. After squeezing the helpless Ayumi to the side, one on the left and the other on the right held him with their chests on both sides of their arms.
The feeling that the villain, who was full of malice when you first met, is staring at you with big watery eyes begging for favor, is indeed a huge impact.
"Ash... It's so popular."
"Jealous, Ayumi?"
"No, Ash, I'm so happy for you that you can be liked by so many people..."
That's what I said, but I can smell the sour smell in your wonderful tone even from a distance.
"Don't say that." With the two people pouting in displeasure, they directly pulled Ayumi next to them, and A came close to her ear very intimately. "Ayumi is also the most important person to me, so I will never forget you."
"Okay, okay!" The girl who exclaimed and covered her ears repeatedly waved her hands and stepped aside. More blush appeared under her little face that was originally stained with dust. "I got it!"
Of course I know it!
I like this thing about A, and A also likes this thing about me.
"Okay, can I ask you a question?" Seeing that the two people who were holding him and were reluctant to let go looked very happy, A continued to ask. "Are there any silver coins like that in this place?"
"Of course!" Bad end Akane puffed up his chest proudly as the rubber coat rubbed against his body. "In order to avoid being lost outside, you brought many weirdos and coins back here for us to take a look at!"
In other words, it's another me, right?
"Then I... the other me who is full of madness, where is he now?"
"Well... she took Happy, Beauty and the trophies on the cross to launch the final challenge to the remaining Pretty Cure in order to achieve the best bad end!"
What a pity. It would be great if you could take us with you... But being able to find Ash here again is considered a blessing!
"Then -" A swallowed as he felt his lips starting to get dry. "Can you bring them all to me again?"
"Of course!"
"Happy to oblige!"
So, that's how it happened.
"Mana, you finally woke up!" The anxious Makoto couldn't help but get angry at the apologetic Mana who came back. "You really, you slept for too long at the critical moment! You don't even know! About Ash! Other Pretty Cure! There are many, many troubles all coming together——"
"I'm sorry Makoto, it's true this time. If only I could be stronger and not indulge in the happiness in the dream." Just as others were trying to dissuade Makoto from it, the matter was turning into a mess in the house. The girl who raised her head from a deep bow shook her beautiful red hair, with firm stars shining in her eyes.
"But, I know!"
"Huh?"
"I know everything about Ash!"
Thinking of that "Ash" who was like a heartless monster again, the girl's fists clenched loudly at this moment.
Ash... This time, let me do it——!
Chapter 68: The declaration of war from both sides at this moment
"So, we are the only ones left now?"
"Well, it seems like we were left behind on purpose."
Among Nasta Café, who was much deserted this time, Reika, who was wearing the uniform designed by the store manager Ash and had experienced the position of a store clerk, helped pour milk into a friend's cup and began to explain their current situation.
"If Miyuki is right, all the current seniors have been captured by Ash."
Itsuki, who was stirring the warm pure white liquid in the cup and looking at a spiderweb-like vortex emerging from it, was really not in the mood to enjoy the drink at this time.
"This time it's really too much...Ash-sensei." The girl said expressionlessly what others were also worried about. "I wonder if he will do something excessive to them this time, such as touching them or something."
"We think it shouldn't happen..."
"No, considering it's Ash-sensei, it's not surprising that he would do anything outrageous."
He picked up the cracked silver teacup and took a sip of milk. Arisu, who could still maintain his composure, nodded and asked Reika to give him another glass.
"Ash, what on earth did that guy do to you to leave such a bad impression?"
Akane felt ashamed and felt that she probably couldn't guess the answer... Well, to a certain extent, it was thanks to these seniors that she was able to be bitter and then sweet. Next time, let's treat them to a large plate of yaki.
"It seems that the Pretty Cure who can defeat those enemies and Ash and save the world are now in this store."
"Yeah." After hearing Zhi's inexplicable sigh, Yuri nodded expressionlessly while enjoying his coffee. "The people who were deceived by that person and deceived their hearts and then threw them aside after playing with them are all here now."
"Playing with the word, a little bit..."
After looking at the person who was hesitant to speak and scratching his cheek with his fingers in embarrassment, Yuri chuckled and drank the remaining bitter brown liquid in the cup.
"I'm just kidding."
Nao's heart suddenly felt the same as Qian's.
Who are these seniors?
"Everyone!"
"No matter what the reason is, Ash now looks like the worst villain again!"
Ai stood up in one breath and slapped his hands on the table loudly to attract everyone's attention, and then began to explain seriously.
"I don't know much about the story between you and Ash who I'm not familiar with, but the Ash I know does have a kind side and a dark side. He is not a person who can easily learn to love others."
"I know it must be too much to ask you to do such a thing! After all, you may have had an extraordinary bond with Ash. He is your beloved store manager, friend, guide, and love-lover!"
At this point, the love began to tremble slightly from behind, and the burgundy hair fell down as she bowed lower and lower.
"However, I still want to ask you to help me! In order for Ash to truly find himself... even if it means fighting him!"
"I would like to ask everyone to lend me their power——"
"Huhu~Mana, I think you are overly worried."
Rikka next to him chuckled twice, patted his best friend on the shoulder, and raised his hand to let her take a good look at everyone's performance.
Worried, troubled, angry, calm, each girl's expression is different, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they have no intention of backing down.
Even if the opponent is that Ash.
"Indeed, Ash is one of the most important people we know."
He's also the boy I like.
Lei let out a deep breath and then smiled at Mana. "In this case, we certainly have reason to continue with him to the end and correct his matter. I am willing to do it no matter how many times we come!"
"In order to prevent him from continuing until he does something irreversible." Miyuki, who is usually silly, showed a serious look at this time. "I... no, we must stop him!"
"This is our bond with him!"
"It's also our responsibility!"
Seeing the two people who had fought side by side answer, Aida Mana, who was slightly surprised, also showed a heart-warming smile.
Ash-sensei, you have experienced the story later, and you still have great friends. Very good!
As expected, he taught me and changed me to pay more attention to the people around me... that man who makes people like me.
"Then-"
"Pa-ta-!" Just when Ai wanted to inspire everyone with a perfect president's ending, the TV above his head suddenly turned on by itself. Not only that, everyone in this integrated city also saw the next scene.
"It's begun."
A, who was a hard-working porter together with Ayumi, bad end Akane, and bad end Nao, put down a pile of coins in his hand, maintained a serious expression, and looked up at the TV screen in the base with the girls on the other side.
"This, this is!"
Among the citizens outside, some people immediately recognized that the picture in the picture was an open space in the city center that was about to start construction, and a tall black tower suddenly appeared on the open space where only some building materials were originally piled up overnight.
As the camera zoomed in, many people gasped in shock!
It turns out that it is in the most central room of the tower. At first glance, the Masked Man does not look like a good guy, sitting on the brass throne in the center with his legs crossed, but the most eye-catching thing is the poor girls tied to dozens of crosses behind him.
"How could it be, it's them?!"
Immediately, sharp-eyed people recognized in disbelief that these poor girls were actually the Pretty Cures who had helped them!
"Mortals, have you seen this?! Precure, who once saved you and the world, has now been defeated by me!"
Following the man's arrogant declaration, a dark aura of hatred and ominousness pulsed throughout the shot.
He jumped up from the throne and stood on the golden cross of the brown-haired girl. The red light behind the mask stared at A and Precure on the other side like it was passing through a TV screen.
