She can't be left alone! As agreed, you and I——
Meet again.
"[I know.]"
"[Nono Hana, listen up.]"
"[I will give you my heart that loves Ash.]"
"[In exchange, please give yourself to me.]"
Nono Hana, I had a dream. And with the sound of breaking glass, she woke up.
"What a strange dream."
The day I last saw Ash was already a year ago.
No matter how painful it was, she still came out, no, she had to come out.
In one year, she seemed to have returned to her former Nono Hana, back to that lonely Cure yell, telling stories from tomorrow and finally, after a long circle, she went back to the past.
No, not everything remains the same, there are still changes.
For example, there wasn't a day that went by that she didn't think about him.
"Whoa-whoa!"
Another example is that there is another person in her life who needs her love.
"It's okay, mom is here."
Nono Hana, who is already a mother, hummed a lullaby and held the crying child in her arms, letting the hungry girl draw nourishment from herself.
"I'm sorry Homi, it's my fault that my mother overslept today."
Apologizing quietly, the light in her eyes had long since solidified, and her mother quickly put the strange dream behind her.
A year later, she had a child, yes, it was her child with Ash.
It should be the gift Ash left for her the first time.
Although a single mother has many difficulties in raising her children, as Pretty Cure, who saves the world, no one can say bad things about her. Rather, there are countless people who want to help her in all aspects.
But Hua rejected all of these.
She won't let anyone interfere with her world with Ash.
"Huh~huh~"
Seeing the baby in her arms gradually calming down, Hua's expression gradually softened. When there was only the sound of quiet breathing in the room, Hua finally kissed her daughter gently on the forehead.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
"No matter who you are, mom will protect you. Because you are the few 'everything' mom has left..."
Because we know that we will definitely meet again in the future. Before that, whether it was the monster or the man who said incomprehensible words before, I will protect you.
Reluctantly putting Nono Homi back on the swinging crib, Hua, who was already very accustomed to it, prepared to cook today's meal.
"So spicy."
It's his favorite taste.
She was preparing lunch for him today.
She knows it, she believes it. He is a hero who saves the world. How can a hero die?
"He's just a little late somewhere else."
For the umpteenth time, Hua brought dishes to the table that no one was eating.
After all, he is a liar, so even about his death, he was just lying to me.
"He's just... late."
"Ding Dong~"
The wind blew the bell at the door.
"Coming."
Opening the door, Hua saw a man with empty sleeves and blood all over his body, his head lowered, looking at her with bright eyes that were not stained by blood.
"I'm sorry, I can't find the destination... Can you give me something to eat first... Hmm?"
"Is there something to eat? I'm here... huh?"
The two saw each other.
Accidentally, Ash's chopsticks were touched by the flowers and fell to the ground.
"..."
The bells blown by the wind sounded again.
"I'm hungry, Flower."
"Is there anything I can eat?"
"Well, you should sit down for a while first."
"The rest of the dishes will be ready soon."
"..."
We seem to have had a dream.
"I'm sorry for leaving you alone."
"No, it's okay."
When the two reunited hugged each other, when they both bathed in the blood brought by Ash, and when they shared both light and darkness together, no one cried anymore.
"Welcome back, Ash."
"I'm back, Flower."
Chapter 1 A wonderful person named Ash.
When the destructive power containing annihilation stardust was kicked in the waist, and the body inside the pitch-black armor belt was annihilated, Ash fell into the familiar darkness and emptiness.
Unable to speak, unable to see, unable to think, and even thinking itself does not exist. It is as if all the meaning of one's life is integrated into this infinite void. This is the death of human beings.
Normally, this is the ultimate answer that human beings get at the end of their lives. But as mentioned before, if this is the case normally, then of course there will be less normal situations.
The human named Ash is a little bit different from normal people. Because of the existence of a certain "system" in his body, he has become an "immortal" who will be reborn in other worlds after death. He is not allowed to die so easily. 7
Because of the existence of this characteristic, he is even quite familiar with death itself.
After taking off the back of the hand, a pair of melted gloves appeared, and the belt taken off from the waist was even more miserable. The rotating instrument panel kept flying sparks, the card slot in the middle where the props were placed was filled with melted matter, and the joystick on the right side for launching special attacks and transformations was broken into two sections.
Except for the two full black bottles inside and the red trigger inserted on them, which can be recycled and reused, the other parts are already in a state that makes the producer shake his head when he sees it, and can only be sold as scrap for 5 yuan per catty.
While he was thinking about what else the scrap metal could be used for and whether there would be a scrap collection truck in the afterlife, several transparent panels jumped into his sight at the right moment.
[Blizzard Gauntlet](Status: Damaged)
[Build Driver](Status: Damaged)
[Confirmed that it is impossible to continue due to the death of the host, and the task settlement has begun. ]
[Official settlement in progress... Confirmed that "Dark Echo" has been collected. Your score in the world of "Kamen Rider bulid" is: [A]! Get a raffle ticket. ]
Without even thinking about reading the rewards and detailed briefing given by the system, Ash waved his hand as usual, blowing the panel away like a fly. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.
"Isn't it because of a sneak attack so many episodes in advance that its evolution trigger was broken, and it actually went directly to the black hole to kick me? Snakes are really cautious animals."
I still prefer rabbits to cold-blooded snakes.
However, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the surprised expression on the alien basilisk that jumped back and stabbed in the back as if it was betrayed by an unexpected and reasonable person. If I thought like this, I jumped to the basilisk's side and followed up to fight several groups of protagonists. It seemed that it was not a loss.
With a flick of his wrist, Ash threw the scrap metal at an incompetent and furious guy wielding a sickle.: "Go away, you can't take mine away anyway." Not long after driving away the God of Death who was responsible for harvesting souls but left in disappointment as usual, Ash felt his soul begin to feel a sense of detachment from the body. 0
[Transmission begins, the new world is determined as: "Do...]
"Are we going to start again? It's so fast this time." As helpless as ever, there seemed to be a voice of expectation.
"I hope this hero can make me feel even more excited."
In the corridor of Daibei First Middle School, two girls in school uniforms were looking around, looking for something.
"There are rumors everywhere in the school now, saying that they saw books flying in the library to perform rituals to summon demons, and that the statues of Chopin and Mozart in the music room began to move in harmony!"
"There are other rumors about buckets and mops flying around. Could this be that, Delia in the toilet?"
"That's right, I heard that even Teacher Ya from Class 3 was scared!"
At a time when young students are always irresistible to such supernatural-sounding rumors, they are now excitedly discussing the supernatural phenomena that have turned the whole school into chaos.
When the two girls passed by the discussion site, they always looked embarrassed, walked quickly on tiptoes, and fled the scene like thieves.
"Mana, nothing found here!"
Exuding the kind of wisdom that makes the kid next door very good at reading, the blue-haired girl wearing glasses Hishikawa Rikka got a headache when she thought about the cause of the incident.
"Wow, where did Ai-chan go!"
The 14-year-old girl Aida Mana (Aida Mana), who was called "Mana (mana)" by others, also looked anxious. Previously, they were entrusted to take care of a baby "Ai-chan" that violated the principles of mammals and was actually hatched from an egg, enough to make Darwin die suddenly on the spot. However, because students cannot disobey their duties and it is too unrealistic to bring a baby to class, they can only entrust other "people" to take care of Ai-chan. As can be imagined, the care is not perfect, but it can also be said that the whole school is about to be turned upside down by the magical power of the lost baby.
Ai-chan is not an ordinary baby after all. After all, ordinary babies are not hatched from eggs, and they do not have transparent wings growing on their backs.
Not to mention these, the two girls Ai and Rikka also love the cute "Ai-chan" very much. What's more, the other's life was saved by the other's magical ability. How can they not be anxious now that they have lost each other?
After hearing the conversation between the two distressed people, three plush doll-like "elves" of different colors slowly floated out of the girls' pockets, feeling slightly depressed.
It was they who volunteered to help them take care of Ai-chan, and finally succeeded in losing Ai-chan.
"I'm sorry, we didn't take good care of Ai-chan Xia Lu..."
"No, this is not Sharuru your fault."
Ai spread her hands and hugged the goblins tenderly. "I should have been responsible for taking care of you in the first place, and it was you who I entrusted to you later. How can I blame you? If anyone is wrong, of course I have a responsibility that I cannot shake off!"
"Mana~"
Upon hearing the words of love, the elf's big round eyes were quickly infected by the moist luster, filled with emotion.
"And rather than blaming yourself here, what's more important now is of course to find Ai-chan. Let's do it together!"
"That's the case. Did Mana find the place where Ai-chan might be?"
Rikka pushed up his glasses, which were shining with a strange light, and poured a basin of cold water on them in time. Ai's movements and facial expressions suddenly froze, and the smile on Rikka's face also contained an awkward apology.
"Hey, it's not there yet——Ah, I found it!" The girl's tone suddenly changed in the middle of her words. She unexpectedly saw something, her eyes sparkled and she raised her hand to point in one direction.
"Oh, that's a lie!"
Rikka quickly looked in the direction his lover pointed, and saw this scene.
Standing near the flower bed of the school stadium was a man who was incompatible with the school's painting style. The man wearing a handsome black vest jacket with a slightly open lining collar looked neither like a student nor a teacher or other staff member.
The young man had short hair and looked into his arms with plain eyes. The giggling baby who was teased by poking his face with his finger was exactly the Ai-chan they had been looking for.
"Ah, Ai-chan!"
"Q-bi~" Hearing the call of love, Ai-chan flapped the transparent wings on its back and flew into the girl's arms, rubbing her soft little face like a coquettish girl.
"Really, we are worried to death~" Although the tone was a bit complaining, the joy of reunion still made the girl hold Ai-chan in her arms tighter.
"Thank you for helping to find Ai-chan!"
Rikka breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked the person in front of him. The man put the folded hands on his chest back into his trouser pockets and responded in an indifferent tone.
"It's nothing, she just happened to fly to my side, and I just happened to catch it."
"Well, big brother is such a good person!"
"Mana, you can't just give out good guy cards randomly."
Rikka reminded Ai with some embarrassment, but after seeing the cute Ai-chan in Ai's arms, he unconsciously showed a cute expression.
"Thank you for helping Xia Lu, little brother!"
