Using super speed to find every opportunity to save everyone between crises, although it always feels like paying tribute to someone else, but when he sees the neat coffin and household registration book lying in front of him without missing a thing, a certain sense of accomplishment still arises spontaneously.
"I'm not bad at picking up corpses either... ahem!"
Fortunately, when I arrived, I witnessed how Phantom opened the mirror coffin, released them all according to the gourd's instructions, and explained what happened to these girls who were just waking up from their dreams. Countless emotions were mixed together and burst out in one breath.
"Are we saved?"
"What about everyone and everyone else? Everyone is fine! That's great~"
"Dad... Mom!"
"Great! But what about the homework I've saved these days..."
The surviving girls hugged each other excitedly and cried with joy. The sounds of sobs and cheers were mixed together. Ash, who was standing among them and listened to these chirping sounds, surprisingly did not feel noisy.
"Hui, is this the happiness you want to protect? It's not bad."
Ash felt that the person who finally woke up was holding his hand firmly at this moment.
"You... are you?" Holding the edge of the mirror hall, Hikawa Marina, who was completely groggy after receiving a burst of strength from Phantom, clung to the only thing he could hold on to at the moment.
"Are you, Ash...?"
It's actually not surprising that Hikawa Maria, who has never actually met Ash, can name him.
Maria still vaguely remembers that he seemed to have seen him with his sister... and heard her say your name.
In addition to the memory, I also said that my breasts are flat... but you want mine? No, no, no, this must be an illusion.
"Did you save us?"
It's unbelievable. In the scene that I saw occasionally when he was sealed, I saw the scene of him being the enemy of Pretty Cure, but now it turned into a scene of him helping?
"There are two purposes. One is to let you remember it well and publicize that I saved you this time. This can be regarded as helping myself."
"Secondly..."
"I have inherited the blessing of your good sister." The man smiled and gave her a thumbs up. "In order not to disappoint them."
In order to make Iona, who has been asking me about you openly and secretly, smile for the reunion.
"I'm here to save you."
Chapter 181 Is it love at first sight?! (4K Chapter)
"I have fulfilled my original promise."
When he saw that the person knocking on his door was Ash, Iona, who was still confused, saw him reaching out and waving in the direction of the door. "Come on, are you going to be shy at this point?"
"No, I just haven't figured out how to say hello yet..." The delicate and sweet face, the long black hair that fell like a waterfall and was blown up by a gust of night wind, everything was the same as a few years ago. When he saw the face that was exactly the same as in his memory but with a little more embarrassment, Hikawa Iona, who was loosening the door latch, was stunned.
"Iona, do you remember who I am?"
Maria, who didn't get a response for a while, had no choice but to point to himself with a half-smile. When he looked over again, he saw a trickle of water sliding down his sister's cheek.
"Sister..."
When the sister she thought about day and night was brought to him personally by Ash's hand, the ecstasy in her heart knocked her unconscious for a moment. She didn't know how to react, but at this time, Hikawa Maria, as the sister, chose to take the initiative to hold her sister's hand.
"Maria!"
Of course, the most exciting thing is the elf "Sunglasses" who has been following her since the beginning. To this day, she can't think of anything happier than seeing her partner return.
"Long time no see, sunglasses." Greeting his former elf partner who was already in tears, Maria just held his sister's hand, suddenly raised his hand, pointed it at the top of her head and gestured to himself. "Iona, you..."
For me, I don't have many memories of the days when I was sealed, but for them, it seems like a long time has passed, right?
"You've grown a lot taller, haven't you?"
"Sister - how could this be the first thing I said to my sister when we reunited!"
When Iona, who was crying with joy and laughing at the same time, hugged his sister tightly, when Maria, as the sister, gradually wetted the corners of her eyes with tears.
"It's great to be able to meet again."
"Thank you...Ash-sensei!"
"Me too - really, really thank you, Ash!"
"If you thank me, my gratitude points will not increase. This is not what my system collects."
Although I don't talk about being inferior in my daily life, looking at the two sisters hugging each other for reunion, I remembered Ash, another pair of "sisters" who almost regretted it because of her, and pressed the shutter of the camera in my hand again.
"Happy face."
It's not much worse than a sad and regretful expression.
"Huh..."
"Roar——!"
Hikawa Maria, who was standing in a circle surrounded by four Bad Beasts, was not panicking at all. She was performing the "breathing back" movement that she had done countless times and it could be said that it had been engraved in the muscle memory. With each breath, the girl who opened her eyes again released the momentum of the "strongest" Pretty Cure without reservation.
"Scared..."
The terrifying wave of energy centered on the girl even made the four Bad Beast, who were much larger than her, take a step back with the intention of retreating. Now Hikawa Iona will pick up the name of Pretty Cure that has been lost for several years, and once again attack as "Cure Tender (Cure Tender)" to fight against evil!
Of course, she is now a "blackened" version.
"Drink-!"
The girl in jet black clothes spread the butterfly wings on her back. Her nimble body was like a butterfly dancing among the flowers. She shuttled between the huge attacks lightly and naturally. The four Bad Beast attacked together unwillingly and did not even touch the dust disturbed when she passed through.
"!!"
The Bad Beasts who had made no achievements were naturally unwilling to accept such a result. The thick flow of darkness-breaking light shot out from their hands, and was blocked by the inverted pentagram barrier summoned by Maria's hands.
Light has a special attack effect on darkness, and darkness also has a special attack effect on light, but darkness with the same source has no such benefit against darkness.
"I have indeed become stronger now."
The girl who easily blocked all the attacks and was not injured or even felt that she didn't exert much effort came to a surprising result compared to her past self. Although he is very unwilling to do so, the now "blackened" Cure Tender is indeed more powerful than the normal Cure Tender.
"If I am really brainwashed and become an enemy against Iona and the others..."
Every time Maria thinks about this possibility, he feels a chill running down his spine, which makes him respect Ash even more for helping him.
"But even my hair has changed from gray-blue to purple."
How come you have dark hair and dyed hair...
"Yeah."
As the "observer" Maria actively invited to avoid accidents with her power, Ash nodded with satisfaction. Even Ash admitted that her battle was indeed a pleasure to watch.
The fighting style of the two sisters is the same family karate that they have inherited from their masters, but if you really want to compare it, it can be called the difference between the minor league and the major league! If Iona's movements are still somewhat scripted, Maria's combat is already completely integrated.
Every seemingly gentle blow can bring devastating results to the opponent, and every seemingly weak block can cause the incoming attack to collapse directly.
His naturally twisting body brushed against the huge punch, and he raised his hand to grab the giant hand at his side. He threw the body that was dozens of times bigger than his own to the ground. The Bad Beast, which fell to an unclear place, rolled like a bowling ball and tripped the other three companions.
"That's really good." Ash rubbed his chin and nodded again.
If I hadn't already chosen a partner this time, I might have thoughts about you.
Oops, I really want to fight her when I think about it.
"Tender——Oh..."
While the enemy was lying in a heap, he was about to use his signature Maria move to kill him, but he was halfway through reading the name of the move before he remembered that the form he was using was wrong. After retracting her hand in embarrassment, she raised the shiny butterfly rune on her other hand, and simply turned this power into a deep torrent that surged towards the enemy, and turned into a destructive and exploding electric light that melted all Bad Beast into powder.
"Oh, damn it! The original four Pretty Cure were difficult enough to deal with, but now there's an extra one that's so powerful!"
"Now, I'm really going to be abandoned by Phantom Queen..."
After unwillingly glaring at Maria who was standing still, the cadres who had not won once since Ash's appearance became more and more skillful and ran away.
"Hmm~"
"What's wrong...?" Maria, who was feeling a little regretful, suddenly felt a strong gaze sweeping over her whole body. The girl with goosebumps all over her body turned around and saw Ash who was looking at her carefully up and down. When she was about to ask him about something, she suddenly remembered something that made this "Pretty Cure" who was releasing the power of destruction not long ago grab her skirt with a shy look.
When I was still a genuine Pretty Cure, I wore long skirts, and there were reassuring safety pants inside; but the problem is that after I became the "blackened version", the covering skirt directly turned into a miniskirt, and even the safety pants were changed into a shameless type!
"No, don't look at it!"
So why does the suit become astringent when it is darkened? Is there any tradition here?!
"It's really good."
However, Maria's performance was just to show off to a blind man. Ash's only thought was that he did the right thing by rescuing her.
He knows this all the time. The feeling of buying the enemy's things for free to strengthen yourself is like wearing new underwear in the New Year!
"He is indeed the strongest Pretty Cure on this planet, and he deserves his reputation."
However, the breasts are still almost non-existent. Even if Yuri, who is 17 and almost 18 years old, is almost concave in the airport, why are you so poor as an adult?
I am now convinced that the qualification to be a Pretty Cure has nothing to do with gender or age, but the most important indicator must be that you have poor breasts, right? Well... except for the fruit group and the group playing music.
"However, it is really a very terrifying power."
Looking at the soil in front of him that looked like it had been plowed a dozen times until it had been flattened into two layers, it would have been able to repair itself in the past. Now, after finishing the plowing, he could only call his sister for help. Thinking of this, the dark girl also looked embarrassed.
"Speaking of which, the first thing Pretty Cure who were rescued and I thanked them for was to report to their comrades that they were safe." Scanning the expression on her face, Ash happened to think of this. "But I don't think you have such plans. Could it be that you, like me, think it's cool to be a lone wolf?"
"It's different from Ash, I also have friends!" Maria, who could joke with each other after getting to know each other, couldn't help but sigh. "It's just that I've become like this now."
Although it has become stronger, it has become darker and deeper. The appearance of this dark servant and the pure power of destruction that is no longer sacred... Is all this really worth it?
"Using the power of darkness... I have become like this, am I still qualified to be called Pretty Cure?"
In this case, how can I have the nerve to see my old friends again...
"Why not."
Ash, who turned into a Wizard again to use the power of magic to repair the terrain, naturally spoke. This tone was neither a question nor a statement, so she couldn't help but look at Ash.
"The power of darkness and light, no matter how powerful or representative it is, is just power in the final analysis. Everything it can do depends on its user."
Just because you use your most sacred power to kill people doesn't mean you are doing good deeds, and vice versa.
"Besides, Kamen Rider's power has always come from the same source as the enemy." The power of magic reconstructed the ground as if it were going back in time, so Rider raised the magic ring on his hand towards the blackened version of Pretty Cure. "The reason why some of Kamen Rider are called heroes instead of monsters is not because he has an extra belt that allows him to transform."
Rather, there are some good and bad things in Kamen Rider that can transform.
"So, do you think I'm a villain or a hero?"
"Of course he's a hero!"
You are the hero who saved me!
"Haha, I'm not a hero... but you are."
"Didn't you just knock down four Bad Beasts in a row to save Light Hill when they were unable to attend school? Miss Hikawa Maria who did all this can of course be called Pretty Cure."
"The decision-making power in this matter is always in your own hands."
Boom——!
In front of Ash, who was so handsome and pointed at her, the adult Ms. Hikawa Maria with reddish cheeks suddenly covered her chest.
"So... so handsome..."
That moment just now really touched my heart. He was so handsome!
And my heart was beating hard just now. Could this be the one being transmitted...
Love at first sight?!
"Hey, hey, hey, the dumplings are here."
It was in the Blue Sky Kingdom embassy that served as the girls' base, when Kei and the others were still worrying about how to speed up Kami-sama's recovery, Ash suddenly walked in with a plate of hot dumplings.
Seeing everyone looking at each other in confusion, Ash even stepped up his urging.
"What you want to eat is given to you this time, why don't you eat it?"
