Doesn't Ebi seem a little too proud now compared to before?
No, Hui is not such a person.
"We have already heard the details about the Doll Empire from Kozumu." Iona took it from Snow White and looked at the frightened doll girl in his palm. Iona, who knew the subsequent story, also felt complicated. "I didn't expect that Bad Beast not only invaded Doll Empire, but also continued to reach out to us!"
"Of course we won't just watch this time, it's just..."
They came here to ask Pretty Cure to help fight monsters. After they lost their abilities, they were like little girls passing by... and they were of no use at all. They were just in the way.
"Hey... but I really want to see what the kingdom of the dolls will be like." Although he understood what Iona meant, Snow White still felt extremely regretful. Why did the enemy appear by such a coincidence?
"That's right, so I just want to ask Pretty Cure..." You also looked a bit regretful, but it just showed that none of this escaped the eyes of Ash who was secretly observing next to him. "Although you are also Pretty Cure, if you lose your ability to transform now... For your safety, I cannot let you go to the Puppet Kingdom."
If you come, only Pretty Cure and Kamen Rider will be enough.
If you are just an ordinary human being, I... don't want to involve you in something that has nothing to do with you.
"Hmm~" Ash's comfortable hum still startled the girl who was secretly planning in her heart. "I probably understand."
"W-what?"
Understood, what did you suddenly understand?
Could it be that what I was thinking was exposed? No, if that was the case, he would definitely expose me, so it's probably just my illusion.
Yes, it was indeed exposed. And you just said it wrongly, but I will definitely not tell you this kind of thing. It is very annoying to spoil the story before everything is revealed.
"If you don't want to be left behind, then let's go together."
"Huh?" Iona, who had never expected that Ash not only did not stop them but encouraged them, spoke out in surprise. "Ash, do you really think so?"
"Of course."
After all, the power of Pretty Cure is the power of idealism. It is impossible to think about this kind of thing alone in a safe place without stimulation, so it is better for you to experience the "crisis". Besides, if there is any unavoidable danger...
"I will protect you then."
"Well~" Snow White, who inexplicably lowered his head and blushed, no longer resisted as the three of them flirted with each other. "Since Ash-sensei said so."
Let us save another world before we save the earth!
"Are you guys ready to go down another rabbit hole?"
The Pretty Cures who fought with the Phantom Empire and constantly fought with "Bad Beast" that were transformed from various emotions in the human heart thought that they were already knowledgeable enough.
But it wasn't until they followed the guidance of the power of the portal opened by You and came to the Puppet Kingdom that they realized how stupid they really were. Just the smell of fresh blue sky, white clouds and green grass is enough to relax nervous nerves. Cute and healing cartoon animals can be seen everywhere, flowers, trees, sky - everything here is as beautiful as a dream.
"Well, it's still the same habit!"
Even the originally petite You jumped off their hands and turned into a slim girl in the blink of an eye to say hello to them.
"Is this the world of the Puppet Kingdom!"
The girls were surprised by the beauty of the scenery and the cuteness of the person. However, there was another problem besides the beauty at this moment.
It seemed as if someone was missing from their side.
"Is this the world of the Puppet Kingdom?"
He squatted down and picked up a piece of crushed soil from the ground and placed it in front of him. The overly fresh smell of grass made Ash wake up his nose.
You can feel the dissonance between this world and the real land.
This land is not like a different world continent formed naturally by the collision of planets or a different world where time and space are skewed. This land is completely a small world composed of a single existence with its own power!
"[Ash, can you feel it?]"
"Ah, this is the smell of dreams."
Can you actually make dreams come true? Even Ash, who might be her enemy, wanted to praise her.
"Miyuki should like this world very much."
Thinking like this, Ash picked up the camera and wanted to take a photo of the dream scenery in front of him. As soon as he raised the lens, he lowered it stiffly and slowly.
Ah, I forgot.
"I will never have the chance to see them again."
Including that KISS, it was also the last time.
Of course, there would be no chance for them to see the scenery in the photo.
"..."
Ash, who could endure it, did not sigh again.
"——!!!"
At this moment, countless puppet-like Bad Beast were running, surrounding him from all sides.
Dark and deep spider webs spread out from the corners all around him, and the Bad Beasts, cooperating with those strange actions, turned the fairy tale scene into a nightmare picture in an instant.
"So, are you going to separate and deal with me first? It's a good idea."
The fact that he didn't appear with Megumi and the others might be an accident, or more likely it was intentional.
but.
Countless Rider Phantom directly knocked away a Bad Beast that was rushing towards him. Under the nervous gazes of the remaining monsters, the Phantom finally focused on the man and transformed into a pitch-black "Ten Years" Rider.
"If you want to take my life to this extent."
"Only in dreams..."
Oh, I forgot, this world seems to be someone's dream.
"It's good to have dreams."
"Too bad it's unrealistic."
Chapter 159: Be a hero this time at the Puppet Kingdom?
"Everyone is welcome."
After returning to this world, she transformed from a small doll that was less than a hand high into a cute and gorgeous dancer. She lifted up the skirts of her dress and performed the etiquette of a lady towards the Pretty Cure who followed her here.
And as the hem of the skirt is pulled up to reveal the slender and small legs underneath, the gray-black iron rings on the ankles are shining with subtle light.
"Oh, Puppet Kingdom is the best!"
As the darlings chosen by the world, Pretty Cure and Aino Megumi were welcomed by the indigenous people as soon as they arrived. There are cute beings everywhere who look like various dolls and toys as the name suggests, but what is different from ordinary toys is that they are all alive!
At least I never thought I could ride a balloon horse!
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Hui's heart was filled with moving longing. "What a surprising world!"
"No, no, no, compared to this, I think it's even more surprising that you could directly understand that the doll is alive just by listening to what we said."
"This is the world of dolls." Ignoring Snow White's slightly rude complaint, the smile on Ji's face as he greeted the other dolls was bright and bright without any pretense. "We live a carefree life here. There is no sadness or sorrow here, only happiness Gensokyo!"
"But..."
As his words changed, his tone gradually became sad. "Such a wonderful world has been targeted, and the beautiful Gensokyo that belongs to me and everyone will eventually be torn apart by more unreasonable and powerful forces, until even the illusion is destroyed..."
If they were deliberately separated, Black Fang might have gone to deal with him... No matter how powerful that Kamen Rider is, it's impossible for one person to defeat all Bad Beast, right?
"I know, after all, we're not really here to play." He let go of the cute stuffed kitten licking his fingers, and the happiness on Hui's face turned into a serious one. "It's Bad Beast, right? It's okay, that's what we're here for!"
"Leave all Kozumu's worries to me! After all, I am Pretty Cure who protects everyone's happiness!"
You, who was just narrating the "backstory" at first, suddenly felt a sudden unknown fire in his heart after hearing this. His shoulders, which seemed to have been hard to endure, were shaking constantly, and even his small palms were being pinched so hard that they kept creaking.
Protecting happiness... so easy to say! Obviously I never saw you when I was really in trouble!
"Yes... yes."
What the girls who comforted her thinking that she was in sadness when she lowered her head did not realize that when she said this, her eyes were always on her.
"That's true, but." Iona, who looked around but couldn't find the figure he imagined, was also in trouble. "Where did Ash go?"
Ash You said that the missing god running around is very troublesome... actually you are the same!
"Eh? Ash is missing!?" Hui Dun panicked when he heard the bad news. He completely lost the enthusiasm and calmness that he had when he comforted you before. "Oops, did you accidentally drop it somewhere?"
"Hui, calm down, Ash is not money, how could it be dropped somewhere?"
"Besides, he is much more powerful than us. If something happens to us, he may not be fine, so calm down."
"Calm down?! But-"
Yuko's argument failed to calm her down, but Bad Beast, who suddenly appeared on the side, roared and forced her to "physically calm down".
"Really, I've said it before!"
The Light Transformation Mirror on her hand was shining as always, and the ring in her pocket was also shining. Compared with these, judging from Hui Xian's gloomy and ugly expression, she was seriously angry.
"I'm in a bad mood right now!"
For Lovely Angel, who just dismantled a dozen Bad Beast not long ago, now even if multiple enemies come again, she still has a bad mood to beat them all! Not to mention that the Bad Beast that appeared this time has no other outstanding features except that it is larger than the others.
"My love, come back to the sky~!",
Seeing the scene where the other party disappeared in a ball of sudden flames, the girl even had a feeling in her heart. "Is this all there is?"
"I always feel like it's not enough... My fists are still a little itchy, right?"
Hey, although the enemy should be defeated, when did I become so fond of fighting?
Well, although there is some suspicion of blaming all the mistakes on Ash.
"But no matter how you look at this, you are imitating Ash, right?"
But when it comes to Ash, what reassures me is that I still feel worried. I don't know where Ash is...
"Great, finally defeated!" The previously hiding dolls, whether they were cats or dogs, came out and enthusiastically surrounded the heroic girl who was worrying alone at the moment. "You defeated Bad Beast, you are our Puppet Kingdom's hero!"
"Hero? I know."
He just defeated an enemy. At this level, Ash would not be considered a hero. Rather than doing this kind of thing, I want to find Ash him——
"Great, then let's hold a banquet for the hero that belongs to Pretty Cure!" Not only the dolls, but also You took Hui's hand and invited her enthusiastically. "Everyone, come together, I will give you the best dance at the banquet!"
"Hoho~ Megumi is so popular as a hero."
"I don't know anymore, but Ash——" She didn't refute her friend's teasing. Although she wanted to immediately look for Ash who didn't know where she had gone, the reality was that despite the kindness, the girl was still surrounded and half-pushed towards the kingdom's castle.
"If you miss me like that, I'm not a mother bird."
Ash himself, whom Hui had been talking about all the time, was actually squatting on a tree branch not far away, watching the backs of the dolls being pushed away.
"Yeah, yeah, Hui, you're still too naive."
He raised his hand to hold a string of spider webs made of energy in the shadow at his hand, and Bad Beast, who the girl thought had been defeated, reappeared out of thin air from the ignited flames.
Ash, who witnessed all this happening, did not have the slightest surprise on his face, only an expression of "as expected".
"Sure enough, it can't be that simple."
Bad Beast, who was kicked to death by him not long ago, was also resurrected in exactly the same way.
"It's not clean enough, Pretty Cure."
Chapter 160 Ash, why do you want to continue walking? (4K Chapter)
The sun with a smiling face hangs in the blue sky and white clouds after the victory, and the golden sunshine shines on the ancient castle and the street under the girl's feet. The bright flags on the stone walls on both sides of the castle fluttered in the wind, indicating that the grand guests were about to arrive.
"Pretty Cure!"
"Thank you!"
The Pretty Cures, who were sitting on the pumpkin carriage and being treated with the highest standards, were waving to the dolls who opened their windows and doors one after another to express their gratitude. They could hardly respond.
"There are so many dolls!" Being regarded as a distinguished guest returning from victory, he was still treated like this by a group of dolls.
This kind of experience can be regarded as a fresh enough experience for the girls.
"Can you hear me, everyone? Everyone is cheering because they have met everyone at Pretty Cure!"
