"So beautiful."
Snow White, who also had a ballet form after the transformation, couldn't help but express his feelings. Although he didn't want to admit it, even his dancing skills with the power of transformation could not compare to the "goddess" on the stage at this time.
That pure white dance completely caught their eyes, it was so beautiful that it almost didn't seem real.
"Indeed, it's beautiful."
Megumi couldn't help but stretched out his hand and applauded. In fact, I also long for... singing accompanied by dancing.
Kozumu She said that she wanted to present dance music to everyone she loves. Seeing the smile on her face while dancing like that, I also want to present my singing voice to the people I love.
At this moment, a small seed of "love" was planted in the girl's heart.
"Thank you, thank you everyone!"
The curtain call came to a close with applause. Just when he wanted to say thank you to the applauding dolls, he saw that the first people to congratulate him were not the familiar dolls in the past, but the Pretty Cures who were happy and cheerful all the time.
"It's so wonderful, Kozumu! This performance is really great!"
"It's really worth it to come to the Puppet Kingdom to see such a performance this time!"
"This level of dancing feels like it could be on TV!"
"Eh?" He didn't expect to be praised like this by the other party, so he panicked for a moment. "Um... thank you for the compliments?"
She had never thought that she would be praised like this by these people until she saw the pure praise on their faces.
"Not only that, my stomach is full because of the excitement, and my heart is also full!"
"It's not so exaggerated~"
You, who finally couldn't help but smile after being constantly praised by everyone, forgot his original purpose for a moment.
"Kozumu is Puppet Kingdom's dancer. Do you have any other hobbies?"
"Huh? If you want to say... I like collecting all kinds of dolls, they will always accompany me!"
"Really? What a coincidence, so am I! But my favorite toy is Super Alloy Mazinger Kaiser——"
friendship.
Friendship is actually a very delicate relationship that is difficult to describe. Friends who have been together for decades may completely part ways just because of a disagreement on a detail. It is also possible that people who have known each other for less than half a day will laugh enough to become super good friends because they have a happy chat.
This is what happened to these girls who were chatting so happily that the dolls next to them began to smile.
"Haha, you actually met such a person~" When he heard them talking about Ash, You couldn't help laughing. "I didn't expect it would be so interesting~"
'䷷, ䷷? '
The deep voice that suddenly sounded in her head made her smile and movements freeze immediately. When the voice calling her name sounded for the second time, the originally happy smile gradually faded from the girl's face.
"Kozumu?" After noticing the sudden change on the other person's face, Hui, who was about to care about whether she encountered any problems, smelled something unusual.
This is the breath of evil and darkness... If you want to say it, Ash?!
Hui's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"No, no, no, why is Ash the first thing I think of...Kozumu? You look so bad. Is there anything we can do to help you?"
"No." You, with a reluctant smile, declined Hui's help. "If you just think of something, you should leave for a while."
Another voice from another person sounded in his head again.
'Kozumu, you shouldn't have forgotten it, right? You and Pretty Cure are not friends, on the contrary. '
'It's the enemy. '
Of course I won't forget it! Just, now——
How could you be so happy when you were with them?
The girl is confused and confused. And in a place that no one saw, the figure squatting on the branches outside the painted window of the castle Ruri was Ash who had put on a dark coat at some point. At this time, he was firmly fixating his eyes on You, who showed a very familiar tangled expression.
Chapter 162 Ash: Is there anyone else lying to the little girl?
"By the way, before this!"
He temporarily suppressed the fluctuating emotions in his heart and chose to change the topic in order to prevent others from seeing anything.
"Are you feeling thirsty? Is there any coffee or tea you'd like to drink?"
"I think!" Snow White, who had been inexplicably angry with Ash who was not here before, actually felt a little thirsty after she said this. "But rather than this bitter drink, I want to drink Coca-Cola!"
"Idiot Kohime, how can there be cola in another world——"
"No problem!"
Following Ye's instructions, a doll actually came over with a Pepsi-Cola in a goblet.
"Is there really one?"
Yuko, who couldn't walk when he saw food, couldn't wait to take a sip of the bubbling black liquid and gave the answer. "It's definitely the sweetness of carbonated bubbles!"
"Yuko Is this what you care about first?" Iona, who was a bit dumbfounded, was about to say something to you, but found that she who was by his side not long ago had disappeared.
"What's wrong, Kozumu?"
In a secret room deep in the castle filled with unknown organizations, a black figure sitting on a spinning wheel-like weaving structure looked at the girl who came here.
"The way you feel worried actually worries me and everyone at the Puppet Kingdom."
The figure covered in a large cloak leaned forward from the seat, revealing a concerned expression for her from the face half-covered by the mask.
This guy lurking deep in the Puppet Kingdom's castle, playing with the blue doll in his hand and covering his whole body like a scarecrow, is "Black Fang" who recently formed a trading relationship with Toregier through the string doll.
"Why do we have to be enemies with Pretty Cure?"
"Kozumu, have you forgotten?" Black Fang's fingers lifted from the armrest rotated like the wheel of the spinning wheel above his head. "This kingdom is a world created for you, a world that allows you to dance as a dancer forever, where everyone loves you and you are never alone Gensokyo."
"Remember? After you lost your legs and became a cripple, I helped you create this world when you escaped from the real world. Pretty Cure, as a hero of justice, did nothing to help you, right?"
"But!" Although this was indeed the case, the pleasant friendship she had developed with Hui and the others still made her hesitate. "They will cheer for my dance, and it will be fun to spend time chatting with them!"
"Besides, if they don't transform, they are obviously... girls like me, right?"
If I become friends with them now, can't I explain the key factors of the matter to them clearly and everyone will be happy?
"My Kozumu!" Black Fang, who stood up from his seat and walked up to Yi, admonished her with a sincere look. "Those are just deceiving you, it's their acting skills!"
"Acting?"
"Yes, if Pretty Cure and Kamen Rider knock me down, this world will also disappear, right?"
"And if we know the truth about this world, Pretty Cures, who are the symbols of justice, will definitely not let me go no matter what! So my friendship with you must be acting."
It seems that it is indeed... so!
Although the lingering worries in her heart have not diminished at all, when she remembered that she had seen Precure beating Phantom Empire mercilessly on the hospital bed, she quietly came to a conclusion.
"Even if it's not for yourself, think about the dolls in the kingdom who love you! Miss Orihara Tsumugi, you have to protect this world with your own strength and prevent it from being destroyed by Pretty Cure and Kamen Rider!"
"I want to protect... my world!"
For this reason, even if I want to become a bad person in front of you good people, I will——!
As Black Fang continued to seduce her, the girl's expression gradually changed from doubtful and worried at the beginning to firm determination. At this time, with a heavy heart, when she opened the door and prepared to leave, her first step without realizing it was into a puddle of water in front of the door.
"?" She looked at the water ripples under her feet that reflected the scenery under her skirt with some confusion. She obviously didn't remember seeing such water when she came here.
Which doll poured water here? Hmm... can we call someone to clean it up later?
And while she didn't take such trivial matters to heart at all, a blue Rider humanoid figure with tentacles extending from behind was slowly condensing from the pool of water.
[FormRide (Form Control) OOO (Oz) ShaUTa Combo (Whale Eel Chapter Combo)]!
With the help of this form ability, Ash can easily turn himself into a puddle of water. No one will notice if he sneaks in in this way.
"Now I'm hearing something incredible."
To be honest, Ash, who actually had a bit of a psychological shadow about "entertaining", didn't believe it from the beginning, but he just didn't tell Megumi and the others.
After defeating the monsters easily, people are ready to celebrate their victory for the heroes with enthusiasm without blaming or making trouble... Usually this happens when the progress bar is not even halfway up. It looks like the development of the Hongmen Banquet!?
"Well..."
Facts also proved that his guess was not wrong.
"It turns out that I'm not the only one who knows how to deceive little girls."
The bright yellow compound eyes watched the girl's back as she left and never looked back. Rider muttered repeatedly in a voice that was just too loud for her to hear.
"So, is the name Orihara Tsumugi? It shouldn't be too troublesome to find."
"Yuko, don't you think it's a little strange?"
While tasting the Coke in a tall glass, Iona showed an indescribable strange expression.
Obviously Kozumu is a person from the Puppet Kingdom. If he comes from another world, how would he know that our favorite food from Earth is cola?
It's strange that there are more and more of them now.
"It's okay Iona, I believe her, it can't be a trap set by her to harm us, right?"
"That's true—"
"No, it is indeed possible."
The familiar voice that suddenly sounded from behind made the two girls turn around in a hurry. The shaking cups in their hands almost got the Coke in his face.
"Ash!?"
The call to turn back brought nothing but a clear wind. At this time, Iona and Yuko inexplicably felt the same as some protagonists in horror movies.
"Is this also part of Ash's bad taste?"
"Considering that it was him, maybe." Iona, who was in a complicated mood, twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't know what expression to make.
If this continues, I will believe you when you say that you are pretending to be a good guy now, but you have always been a bad undercover agent lurking around us.
Chapter 163 Do you think you are happy?
"Welcome everyone to the dance. Let us dance together today with gratitude to Pretty Cure."
After Noi's sudden resignation, Prince Sieg's speech still attracted cheers from the guests present. However, in this sea of joy, those who remained calm could smell a hint of a different development.
"It's really weird here, isn't it?"
"Indeed, the previous Bad Beast was not purified by Hui but disappeared directly."
"Also, how Kozumu knew that we were Pretty Cure is also very strange."
It seems that the problem in the Puppet Kingdom is not just that we need to knock down Bad Beast.
Yuko and Iona met each other's eyes and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes. Now they will not regard the sound they heard earlier as an illusion. Since Ash has "reminded" them in this way, then the two of them will not choose to sit still and wait for death.
"If there is a problem, then go find the problem."
But just as they were getting ready to take action, a few small dolls stood in front of them.
"Pretty Cure, let's dance together at this dance!"
"Come back later." If it were normal, the girl wouldn't mind playing with these little cuties. "But now we have other things to do."
"Pretty Cure, Pretty Cure!"
"Let's dance together!"
What troubles them is that no matter how they explain it, these cute dolls are still surrounding them and inviting them warmly without any intention of giving up.
"I'm sorry, we still-"
Iona touched the soft toy doll and wanted to push it away, but as a martial arts practitioner, she noticed something was wrong as soon as she took advantage of it.
I can't push them away even with the strength of my hands? It's obviously just a toy... or is this also part of the problem?!
Not only Iona and the others were surrounded by warm invitations and fell into embarrassment, but Snow White on the other side who was still silent in the banquet atmosphere and began to miss the past also saw someone walking towards them. If you take a closer look, isn't this the prince Sieg?
