The elves transformed by Pop turned around and flew towards the bottom of the tower. Now they were going to put Ayumi in a safe place first.
"This is not your fight. Ayumi You are just an ordinary girl. You have no obligation or reason to punch your friends. This is too sad."
"You've done everything you could have done for him, and you can rest proud."
The eyes of the girl who slowly raised her head were completely blank. Countless complex emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, love, hatred and hatred flashed through Ayumi's amber stone eyes like meteors, just like him...
"Stop, let me get down!"
But her heart never changed.
"No way Ayumi, at least wait until you land. It's too dangerous for you now!"
"Then I'll go myself!"
Ignoring the astonished expressions of the three women behind them, Ayumi let go of his hand, turned around, bent his knees, and leaped towards the tower, crossing the ravine at his feet that was insurmountable for ordinary people, and flew towards the uncollapsed route above.
In her pocket, the broken coin trembled slightly along with the remains of the transformer.
Like fluorescent lights in the night sky, flickering out a little bit of light.
Chapter 95 Dreams and Desires and the Wrist of Grasping
"I... I really did it."
Sometimes, it is only after completing the meeting that you will realize how great a thing you have done, for example, for Sakagami Ayumi now.
From Reika and the others... leaving Pretty Cure's exclamations behind, she actually followed the "pineapple-sized" tower all the way to the top of the tower!
Now, when she stood by the railing and looked down at the entire smaller world from a high place, her heart seemed to have been purified and she no longer had the usual fear of heights.
Just...
"..."
She raised her head and looked up at the blue sky, looking at the vague floating island between the worlds above her that was so far away that even the clouds could not be seen. The girl, who knew that a huge war was breaking out on it but couldn't see anything, could only reluctantly stretch out her hand to the sky, and slowly tightened it to grab something.
"In the end - you can't catch anything..."
As the girl's feeling of loss continued to settle, a clear "click" sound came from the railing she was standing on. It turned out that cracks had already appeared behind the corner of the tower she was standing on. The girl, who didn't even have time to react, opened her eyes wide and fell down together with the broken structures.
"Ah."
Reckless behavior will eventually have to pay for it. After all, chasing dreams is also a dream...
"Hey, Ayumi!"
Just when the girl, exhausted from the repeated blows, was about to give up, the familiar boy's voice sounded from in front of her.
"Wake up, what are you doing? You're going to die!"
Amidst the whistling wind around him, Ayumi, whose ponytails and clothes corners were blown upward, saw his pale hand lifting up to grab his own collar.
"Ash... A?"
But Ayumi knows that the real A has returned to himself, and the image in front of him is just a fantasy that he has invested too deeply in.
Am I dreaming about returning to the lantern now... If that's the case, why does he only have one hand?
"Forget it, I... can't help it anymore..." It was probably because A had only one hand in his fantasy that he couldn't help laughing. The girl with an unexpectedly relaxed expression and no fear of death smiled in relief. "I've tried my best, but it still doesn't work, because it's not Pretty Cure."
"This has nothing to do with Pretty Cure!" Rarely, Ayumi could actually hear the always easy-going voice of him lecturing him angrily. "Whether you transform or not, you are always Sakagami Ayumi, not anyone else!"
"What about you, A?"
"I don't care." The owner of that hand shook his fingers one by one as he said. "Compared with the other Ash, which I couldn't get, I already got what I wanted——"
Do you... think so?
When I was a child, I always moved around with my parents whose jobs changed frequently. Even the friends I had just made at school would soon be separated... Gradually, I became often alone and did not dare to make new friends.
It wasn't until Miyuki and the others took the initiative to become friends with me... But at that time, I didn't know they were Pretty Cure. I always felt that there was something hidden from me, which made me really unable to join their circle...
Until A, you appeared in my world like a sudden falling "meteor".
Although he was annoying at first, he was reliable and skillful and made me want to rely on him. As a friend, you will always be by my side even if you complain, giving me a sense of security other than "loneliness". As a partner, you have opened the door to the right things for me, making me feel the joy of fighting with mutual support, and making me dream of becoming Pretty Cure.
So for me, even for such a short time, you are a very important person to me!
"But..." The girl's tears flew upward with the wind. "Didn't you just disappear like this?"
He suddenly disappeared like that, what do you want me to do?
Don't you want to order anything else?
"Ha... to be honest, having you by my side in this short life will fully satisfy my desires."
I am probably lucky enough to meet you.
Wouldn't it be too greedy to crave more?
"Also, do you think I have really disappeared?" The owner of the hand suddenly asked Ayumi.
What... what does it mean?
"It's not that you became Pretty Cure when you picked up the transformer and met me, but because it was transformed by you, that pure white posture can be called Precure." He raised his finger and poked her chest word by word. "You always have the right answer in your heart."
"But, I am just a half-assed Pretty Cure, not a truly beautiful, kind and correct legend at all——"
"You don't have to be ashamed of this, rather be proud of it!"
Because you have done something worthy of this legendary name!
After the girl stopped crying, she saw other girls on the ground approaching with anxious eyes, as if the previous long conversation was just a moment of imagination.
"Ah-A! Where are you going!"
Seeing the hand that was gradually flying upward after being separated from him, Ayumi exclaimed and wanted to keep it.
"Unlike me, you have other people who care about you and many hands to hold, right?"
Just as he said, whether it was Yayoi who were friends, Akane and the others, or other girls who had only met once, they all raised their hands high to catch Ayumi.
"As long as you try hard to reach out, you should be able to catch anyone's hand. This is how they respond to you, including how you are connected to my world!"
"Ayumi————!"
Everyone's voice can be heard!
"You ran all the way to the tower, not just so that you could say your last words to the person in your dreams when you accidentally fell down, right?"
"Now you. What you want is actually within your reach."
Needless to say, I'm proud of you.
"Half of my wishes have come true, but what about yours?"
"I... I have it too!"
I want him to understand my true feelings!
I want to go to A, Ash!
"Then, believe in me and believe in yourself! Do what you want to do, Ayumi."
A said his final farewell to her.
Ayumi waved his hand upwards, and finally caught the hand, holding the two coins that flew out from his body in two pieces tightly in his palm.
"I didn't protect you well, A... but I definitely don't regret holding your hand that day." The remains of the transformer that flew out of her pocket turned into light and gathered on her outstretched hand. "I swear, there must be something different this time!"
I don't know why Ash wants to fight against them in the end——
So I will stop this meaningless battle!
Many Pretty Cures below showed extremely surprised expressions.
From the palm of the girl's raised hand, Mugen's huge light filled the girl's whole body, dyeing her with her own true color!
"I will never let you die!!"
It was as dazzling as gold in her eyes.
It is as bright and pure as the white in her heart.
And the pair of moving and gorgeous six-winged wings behind her that were as perfect as an angel, yet seemed to be resting on her shoulders, all dyed pure black.
Chapter 96 Please convey that emotion, Cure Echo!
Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure have thought of many different endings to this duel. No matter which side wins, or it ends in a draw, it is possible, but there is only one -
Ash and they looked at this pure white figure with his hands between them in surprise, their faces full of disbelief.
Not only was it hard to believe her appearance, but the power in her hands was even more unbelievable.
The six pure black wings held down the weapons on both sides with great force to prevent them from going further. The hands propped up on both sides of the chest resisted the inertia and separated their final blows.
Only this ending was something no one expected.
"This is really..." After countless thoughts and thoughts turned into a complete logical chain in Ash's mind, Ash, who wanted to understand everything, seemed to have a satisfied smile from the corner of his mouth from the original look of shock. "Interesting."
Ayumi... Should I say that I am very relieved?
"Yes——" Miyuki, who looked more and more familiar, called her name directly. "Is it Ayumi?"
But how? Now they can clearly feel that although the blond girl in front of them is similar to the one she used to use the transformation tools to mimic, they are two completely different entities.
Now she seems to contain the whole world in her body, she is the real Pretty Cure!
The holy light that erupted from the girl's body pushed them to the side, and now the blonde girl actually pushed the other four people back with her own strength.
"What... what power is this?"
The man who hit his waist grinned and sat up from the ground with his teeth grinning. The power Ayumi exploded in an instant completely exceeded Ash's expectations. Although the girl who was now covered in light appeared to be no different from the previous transformation mode, her actual output was directly higher than countless Wallaces!
"What's going on?"
Also surprised were Lei's side, especially Miyuki who rubbed his eyes and blinked in disbelief to make sure he had seen it right. "I remember... wasn't the transformer used by Ayumi broken in the end? Why - he transformed again!"
And the one who transforms again is far more powerful than the last time. What is the principle of this?
"Could it be that?" Lei, who was also in disbelief, stretched her neck and found something next to Ayumi. "She transformed again with the help of elves we don't know?"
"No, that's not right." Mana slowly sat up and adjusted her posture. At this time, she found a familiar look from the extremely dazzling blonde girl. The light that Ash erupted when she returned to the light was similar to it. "She transformed completely of her own will."
"Transformed into the real Pretty Cure (precure)!"
"Conveying my emotions—"
From the pure white girl who prays with her hands intertwined on her chest, the bow with accessories on her chest and the blond twintails floating behind her reflect a different kind of golden starlight.
"[Cure Echo](Echoing Angel)!"
When she threw her hands to both sides, the girl's eyes no longer had the loneliness and inferiority complex she once had, only the thorn-like gaze of the Valkyrie in the mythical Heroic Spirit palace.
"Here and now." She solemnly pronounced her verdict in front of everyone in a voice that was completely unlike the shy tone she used to have. "That's the end of it."
"You may think that this matter has nothing to do with me. Compared with you Pretty Cure who have experienced unimaginable adventures with Ash, I am just a passerby everywhere."
The girl closed her amber-gold eyes and took another deep breath.
"But, someone very important to me told me."
"As long as I try hard to reach out, I should be able to grab anyone's hand."
Now, I will reach out and do what I think is right!
"I will not let people who once loved each other kill each other again."
"We're not talking to each other - ugh..." Just when Lei realized something was wrong and quickly wanted to explain, the look from Ash made her swallow her words again with a grievance.
"There are many other ways to solve the problems between you."
"I want to pay for this ridiculous dance-" He raised his arms covered in long gloves, and the six wings stood up behind his back to form some kind of sacred symbol.
"The finale."
"Hahaha..." Ash, who couldn't help lowering his head and laughing out loud, shook his head. "Sakagami Ayumi... Cure Echo! Let me admit it when I was still in the world of Miyuki. I did miss you."
