"Ah, you are the Ash-sensei, right?" Ash is being entertained by a hostess with the same hair color as Hui. She has a warm aura and is preparing tea for the guest Ash brought by her daughter. "My daughter, there is always someone who whispers your name secretly, always talking about getting your approval or something."
"Mom-Mom, why do you know this kind of thing!?"
She directly made her daughter blush, and the lady also smiled and observed the expression on Ash's face after learning about it.
"Really? I'm really flattered that you care to this extent. Thank you for letting me know, this... Mrs.?"
Ash secretly made a decision in his heart, because it was already the second or third time that Pretty Cure was invited to his home, so this time Ash was no longer as restrained as before, but Aino Megumi was dumbfounded when he looked away at the polite look when facing his mother.
I was originally worried that I would be too impulsive in letting Ash meet her mother... With such a calm and polite look, is it really Ash?
"Are you thinking of something very rude?" He glanced at the girl who quickly shook her hands to express her denial. Ash was stunned to see the impeccable tea ceremony skills in her hands. "Don't worry, I will respect those who deserve respect."
This is the second time that I have been treated with such enthusiasm. A woman who can cultivate a heart that is enough to be Pretty Cure, whether it is the Miss Ikuyo or the person who is smiling at me, is the kind of mother who is gentle enough to make Char instantly recognize her as her mother, and has so much kindness and strength that it overflows.
Speaking of Miss Ikuyo... she did that kind of thing to her daughter, but she forgave me even though I didn't even apologize. It's really embarrassing.
"Haha~" The hostess, who seemed to be praised, burst out into crisp laughter. "No need to be so polite, I am Aino Kaori, just call me Kaori."
"Gentleman's Ash-sensei."
Gentleman... Did my mother and I really see the same person?
Although I was shocked at first that my daughter quietly brought home a handsome guy who was much older than her, I felt relieved after a period of secret observation.
Of course, as a mother, she could see at a glance her daughter's awkward look between her and him, and couldn't help but sigh that Megumi had reached such an age.
"Hui is really amazing, even more powerful than your mother back then." Kaori, who pulled his daughter over, asked her in a low voice with a tone of laughter. "Mom, I thought it must be Seiji, but it turns out that Hui actually prefers people older than herself?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Hui, who didn't know why it suddenly got involved with Seiji, was made to laugh and cry. "Seiji has been very good to me since childhood, but I have always regarded him as my older brother!"
"Then don't you refute this Ash-sensei thing? You are really bold to bring your boyfriend home to live together now."
"Mom!"
Unexpectedly, Hui, who had never expected to be teased to such an extent by her mother, was spinning her wheels and punching "acting like a baby" incoherently. Ash on the side finally put down her teacup and started to explain for her.
"There is indeed a misunderstanding on this point, Miss Kaori." Ash, who was worrying about what adjective to find here, suddenly had an idea. "We are... right!"
"My relationship with her is - I am a "Kamen Rider" who has passed through the crossroads of her life."
It doesn't matter if you can't remember it.
"So, Ash-sensei."
Aino Kaori, who pulled up his chair and came to Ash, bowed solemnly to Ash and said please.
"Then please do her a good job Kamen Rider."
Chapter 150 Ash Bone Setting
"Hui, doesn't your mother know about mine?"
The Ash who was whispering to Aino Megumi naturally meant that he had not concealed his secret identity but was not recognized at all. You must know that when walking on the road, you can usually meet ten or even nine children asking for your autograph within three hundred meters, not to mention the number of men and women who send you love letters and make secret glances.
His face is completely famous in this world, but while enjoying the fun of going out, he also has to feel the pain of going out. For example, not long ago, he and another vest of Aino Megumi made the headlines in the form of gossip. Originally, he was prepared and explained when his mother regarded him as a sea king who came to catch his daughter.
As a result, surprisingly we were able to chat well?
"Mom usually cares about her family and rarely watches the news."
The girl who also put her hands in front of her face and whispered explained to Ash, "So Ash-sensei, you must not say it, otherwise I just think that even a gentle person like my mother will kick you out."
But in this case, there will be more little secrets that only two people know between me and Ash~?
"Ahem——"
There was no time to continue the conversation with Ash. When she heard the familiar coughing sound, Hui immediately returned to Aino Kaori, who was hunched over and shaking with worry on her face.
"Mom?"
Carefully helping to pat her mother's shaking back, Hui, who felt very sorry for her mother but could do nothing, cast a helpless look at Ash.
"It's nothing, just an old problem, cough cough cough -!"
Although I really wanted Hui not to worry, she was probably shocked by the fact that her daughter suddenly brought back a man. Kaori, who was already weak, suddenly felt that it was more difficult to breathe, and her words to comfort Hui were blocked by the stinging breath.
"I'm sorry, but it happened when we had guests... cough!"
My body knows best, and this problem will probably never be cured easily in my life.
"For medicine, this is it, right?"
"Thank you! Um...?" After swallowing the pills delivered to her, Kaori, who was thanking her, realized that the one who reached out to her was actually Ash-sensei.
"The side effects of this medicine are too strong." He gently rotated the small medicine bottle in his hand and came to the label. Although he had never seen this brand, he could judge the effect just based on the ingredient list of the medicine. "Although it will have a very significant effect on the respiratory tract, it will also increase the load on other organs, which is not good."
"Is that so?" Kaori, who was not very clear, was stunned for a moment in front of Ash, who seemed to be very knowledgeable, and then the curiosity that arose made her ask. "Could it be that Ash-sensei is actually a doctor?"
With such a temperament and appearance, I thought Ash-sensei had a profession like an adventurer?
"As a doctor, my medical professional qualification certificate was revoked a long time ago due to reasons that mortals can't understand." He glanced at the side and said, "We don't even know about this kind of thing!?" While Hui was fuming and awkward, Ash secretly showed her a sly smile with white teeth. "But if Miss Kaori is willing to trust me, I think I will still be happy to help."
"Ahem, there's no such thing as trust or distrust."
"Can't you?"
"Since Kei is willing to believe what you say." Kaori, who seemed a little reluctant due to the stinging breath, still showed his smile to Ash. "What reason do I have to not believe Ash-sensei?"
"That's it."
He put away the two fingers that connected the acupuncture points, put down the thin neck that was making a clicking sound when pressed by his own fingers, and finally let go of Ash in front of Hui, who was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and let her lower her body naturally.
"Ah - ah~" Kaori, who originally felt that she was about to be torn apart by Ash, gradually changed from the original groan of pain to a comfortable moan. At this moment, she was surprised that her hands and feet were lighter than ever before. "What's going on? I feel so relaxed! No pain or discomfort at all!"
"Mom, is it really okay?"
"No problem, I feel like I can beat 10 of your dads!"
Ever since she suffered from a long-term illness due to dystocia when she gave birth to Megumi, she had not experienced such a vibrant and light feeling for a long time. This allowed her to transcend her history as a housewife and recall the time when she worked part-time as a hostess at a hot spring hotel.
"You can reach this level just by massage without medication." Kaori, who knew how extraordinary this level was, looked at Ash with a rather surprised look. "Although it is worrying to say that the license has been revoked, but - is Dr. Ash actually so powerful?"
"It feels like Black Jack in the anime I watched when I was a kid!"
It always feels like it's so powerful that it doesn't look like a technology that exists in the real world!
"Compared to the one in the anime, I still like Liao," Ash, who is rarely humble, also explained. "It's not actually a massage, it's just bone setting and acupuncture."
Needless to say, I have asked several teachers for advice on acupuncture skills. For bone-setting skills, although Yukito refused to teach me the skills no matter what, I am a genius after all. It is reasonable that I can learn it from a teacher after just a few glances, right?
"It turns out I wasn't exaggerating..."
"Ash is much more powerful than you think." Ash raised his hand and knocked several times on Hui's head as a warning. Instead of triggering the usual protests, he got the girl's twinkling eyes. "If even mom can help, Ash-sensei - dad is always busy too. Since Ash doesn't have a fixed place to go back to, why not stay at my house first!"
Maybe not only can Ash-sensei cure my mother, but I can also——
"Let any man be in the same room with you two. Sometimes I really want to open your head and see what's going on inside?"
Hui's thoughtless speech was naturally given another shudder by Ash without mercy. You must know that even those as passionate as Mana only said this after understanding each other. I am now convinced that although you are all enthusiastic types who like to make friends and help others, the inner center is actually the other way around, right?
As for the other Miyuki who said this... forget it she is an idiot, are you also an idiot?
Chapter 151 Lovely Angel's biggest crisis!
"Alalā~ It's such a good atmosphere, mom, I won't disturb you two anymore!"
Aino Kaori once again lamented that his daughter had grown up. After giving Hui a "reassuring" look, he naturally wanted to make space for the two of them in the name of doing housework.
"Mom!"
"I didn't notice it when I was sick before. It turns out that Hui's carefree temperament is inherited from my aunt."
"My mother is not like this anymore!"
Listening to the behind-the-scenes arrangement from Ash, the girl was very dissatisfied and protested on behalf of her mother.
To be honest, we who are obviously normal will not become as weird as ourselves after coming into contact with you. Yes, Kohime, yes, including Iona... In this way, the weird person is obviously Ash!
However, no matter how much he complained, Huidu still took the initiative to invite Ash to visit his room.
"How about my home?"
"Well..." He picked up a Mazinger Z toy on the counter and secretly flipped through the photos of Miyuki's room taken in Bat Memory with his other hand. Ash looked at her expectant expression and didn't know how to describe it before he spoke after a long time. "Very, very good."
Ordinary, unexpectedly ordinary, so ordinary that Ash doesn't know what witty words to say to liven up the atmosphere.
Standing in this rustic room, which was different from Mana, Miyuki, and Ayumi's indoor atmosphere, the decoration was completely devoid of girlish tenderness, which made Ash think that he was being invited into his home by some famous team member.
"Ash, wait a minute, let me look for it. Where did my treasured Senbei go..."
"Hui, I remember you said that if you could make a wish with Light Card, it would be to make your mother's health better, right?" Sitting next to the girl's pillow, Ash casually took out a test paper from the half-open school bag on the table and looked at it.
The man who originally just wanted to take a look at it, but his expression became more and more indifferent as he gradually browsed. His hands that were too strong had already twisted a corner of the test paper he was holding into a ball.
Look hard.
The fist is hard!
"Yeah!" Hui, who had no idea what was going on behind the scenes, continued to look for Senbei. "My mother has been in poor health since she gave birth to me, so she can't continue working. She can only concentrate on taking care of the house when my father is often away on business..."
"My mother loves me very much, so if possible, I would also like to cure my mother's disease——"
Putting the soy sauce Senbei in his hand in front of Ash like a treasure, Hui asked Ash vaguely in a pleading tone.
"Ash, since you are a very powerful doctor, then... can you help cure my mother?"
"If I could, I would do anything—"
"What do you want to say?" Ash, who was not in that funny mood at all, interrupted the girl's next violent words and put down the test paper in his hand. "Don't your friend's Yuko have the ability to heal?"
"Ah?!"
I, I never thought that the power of Pretty Cure could be used like this. Is there such a thing?!
"Don't worry, since it's you who asked me, of course I will do it." The girl took away Senbei before she could react. The corners of Ash's mouth only curled up for a moment, then calmed down immediately. "Your filial piety is touching. Now, you have to tell me about this, right?"
Wait, what Ash is holding... seems to be my test paper?!
"You are Pretty Cure... Can you explain to me, what does it mean that you only scored 12 points on a 120-point paper?"
"!"
Listening to Ash's emotionless voice, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, Aino Megumi was shocked and thought to himself that something was wrong!
Is Cure Lovely's worst and biggest crisis about to come?!
Now Ash still remembers that in the last world, Reika complained to him that everyone was too focused on Pretty Cure activities and forgot about his homework. Miyuki, not to mention, preferred holding a fairy tale book all day long to having fun with textbooks. But later on, I guided them and made them pass this test...
To be honest, all the Pretty Cures he has encountered so far are excellent even outside of combat. This is partly why he feels proud. I know that it is unreasonable for me to make such a request to each of you, but if you let me know that Pretty Cure is so weak in this regard, I will be very unhappy!
Miyuki is an idiot and I didn't expect anything from the beginning, so I won't say it anymore, so I'll give you a favor——
Are you also a fool?!
"3x + 5 = 17... Why did you calculate 36 when it's an equation that even elementary school students can solve?"
"Because, because I got the symbol wrong..."
The sudden change in the atmosphere made Hui Meng, who was sitting in front of Ash, recall the fear of being his enemy.
"Let's not talk about mathematics for now, can you tell me Aino Miss Megumi?" Although Ash's expression changed from indifferent to a smile, it was a smile that made Hui tremble like a little rabbit in front of a natural enemy. "Why did the person who ended the Warring States Period become Oda Nobunaga? This is the history of your country, right?"
"Could it be that Megumi was dissatisfied with the fact that the monkey won and secretly used the power of Pretty Cure to travel to the past and change history?"
"How is it possible? It can't be done. Only Pretty Cure can't do such a thing!"
No! Now Megumi is sure that Ash, who is now in the form of "Devil Teacher", is definitely more vicious and terrifying than when he fought over a disagreement!
Escape, in front of Ash who is in a wrong state now, I must escape!
"Pah!" Ash, who used the test paper and the textbook to sandwich Hui's head as she turned to run away, leaving her fleshy and aggrieved mouth exposed, asked angrily. "Say, what are you?"
"I... I'm a stupid sandwich..."
The low, pitiful whine was finally drowned in front of Ash's irrefutable majesty. Aino Megumi never thought that one day as Pretty Cure, after "losing" to the enemy, the tragic end he would receive would be to have to tutor his homework?
This is too tragic!
