"Even if you want to make fun of Gu... don't insult us in this way!"
Nan was so nervous that she even bit her tongue because she couldn't speak clearly, but the girl still stared at Ash with stubborn eyes, and she must not let the other party treat them as fools!
"No."
Putting down his legs, Ash changed from lying down to sitting upright.
"I'm serious."
Chapter 12 From now on, you are mine...
"Why do you think I'm teasing you again? I'm sincere enough to have canceled my transformation."
"Besides, the king's words are the truth and there is absolutely no lie!"
As long as you admit it, you will be the queen of the Black Night Kingdom from today on! I never thought you would refuse such a good offer.
For Pretty Cure, no matter what mental preparation they had made before, now they were disrupted by Ash's unexpected move.
"Haruka."
Yui, who was also shy and blushing, poked her friend who was immediately stunned by the huge amount of information after reacting. "Could this be a proposal from King?"
After all, there are so many elves under his command, and he calls himself King from the Black Night Kingdom or something like that... which is the real King, right?
Wait, am I counted?
"Eh?"
Poor Pretty Cure, the first confession from the opposite sex in their lives was an extremely direct proposal, and it came from the villain King who defeated them not long ago.
"Proposal... Confession?" Yao held his face and repeated the words, only to feel that the temperature on his face was getting higher and higher. "You want me to become a queen?"
That noble, gorgeous, distant existence in the stories you like?
But... why is such an important thing! The most important thing in life is that mom and dad love each other! It should be that both parties agree with each other for their liking and love. Why did it become like this!
The completely indescribable confusion and shyness finally turned into the same question.
Why us?
"No, no, no, that's why I can't understand it at all!" Raising his hand to fan the extremely hot air in front of him, Kirara used repeated movements to hide the same shame. "Why don't you tell us why it's ours? I don't know how you dare to want us to be you Queen?"
It's too condescending to say such words easily to a woman who hasn't met for ten minutes!
"Also, what does asking us to be Queen have to do with your purpose?"
"Of course, look." Ash, who was already chatting with his "Queen", was patiently explaining to them one by one. "First of all, except for you Pretty Cure, there is no one in this world who can fight with me. It is equivalent to you being the representatives of this earth. So after I defeat you, no one can stop me from doing whatever I want on this planet, right?"
"As an incoming villain, that's right."
"In that case!" Ash actually raised his clenched fist high! "As long as you become my Black Night Kingdom's Queen and become my people! Then this world will naturally become part of our Black Night Kingdom!"
"This way you don't have to fight!"
You seem quite smart. If you become Queen, everyone will be happy.
"No, no!" After hearing what Ash said, Kirara shook his head. "I'm pretty sure that's not how things went down!"
"Yes, yes!" But no matter what she said, Ash's eyes remained serious. "I am the king, and my words and ideas are the absolute truth!"
"So to me, that's how it works out!"
Ah... No, this guy's eyes are absolutely serious from the beginning to the present!
It was really unbearable to hide his face. Compared with his companion who was speechless before Ash's self-righteousness, Kirara had more to think about.
Calm down Kirara! You are the woman who has decided to shine on the stage in the future. You must not lose your cool here... Okay, now let's reorganize the current situation. In any case, he should have recognized this truth. If we refuse here...
He used violence to knock us down and then took us up the mountain as his wife's wife, and physically made us submit until we admitted that we were his Queen - he could definitely do this kind of thing!
"Am I... traveling with everyone to some kind of world where a tyrannical president's prime time happens?"
"It's useless to escape." Seeing Kirara, the most flexible one, twitching at the corner of his mouth in a funny way, Ash made up for it as if nothing had happened. "This is reality, it's all true!"
"Promise!"
In the elf honor guard, a certain motorcycle man with a machine cannon in his left hand and a rocket launcher in his right hand suddenly started shouting and cheering. As its reaction spread, the surrounding Pikachu, Koromon, Bunny, RR Raptor, Fenrir Wolf, etc. all started to gather around while clapping their hands and making loud noises!
"Promise! Promise! Promise~! Promise~?"
The bewildered girls formed a circle around the center. Faced with the elves' booing as if they were singing on a campfire, Kirara, whose heart sank, could no longer resist slapping his hands on his face.
No more! It's over!
"No."
The sudden appearance of the voice interrupted the commotion. Haruno Haruka, the instigator, was not afraid. Instead, this time she came to look at Ash seriously.
"Why?" Instead of getting angry as Kirara expected, the man asked with interest. "The Queen sounds like a much more noble being than Princess. Are you really not interested?"
Why, I thought you Pretty Cure, who were born as virgins, would be happy to sacrifice themselves for others?
"But no matter what you say, my dream is to become Princess!"
My dream is always my own. Even if I am laughed at, I still want to work hard for it. I will never give in just because I am being taken advantage of!
"If I become the Queen, I can't be Princess, so I definitely don't!"
Maybe what you said is true in terms of nobility, but what I want to be is what Princess represents! Definitely different from what you think!
This is the only thing that will never be taken away from you!
"HaruHaru, is your focus off-center?"
Although I couldn't help but complain, I loudly agreed with what she said, Kirara, and also plucked up my courage to Ash!
"As for what you said, it's the same as HaruHaru. My dream is to become the top model in the shining world. Becoming the queen of a kingdom or something sounds pretty good, but I'm sorry."
Kirara playfully winked at the stunned king with starry eyes.
I'm a person who doesn't like to take shortcuts.
"My dream is to become a person who helps others like my father and brother!" Nan, who was standing side by side with everyone, put his hand on his heart that was filled with excitement as he recalled the back of the person he admired. "Maybe it seems like an insignificant idea to a king like you, but to me it is indeed an existence of extraordinary significance!"
"As for the Queen you mentioned, please find someone else who is more suitable!"
The light that once made Ash look at them once again bloomed from their bodies, and the gorgeous clothes restored by the light once again became the beautiful existence that set off their Princess and transcended Princess.
"Dreams... dreams, you guys have been talking about dreams." Nanase Yui, an ordinary person who first said this word, saw Kaito Minami at the end, and Ash, who was inexplicably and a little hot in his heart, chewed this word over and over again. "I don't have dreams, so I don't know. I've never thought about such a thing."
"Is the so-called feeling of realizing a dream so beautiful?"
"Yeah!" Although he had very bad memories, when Ash asked this question, Yao still gave him a positive answer. "Although there will be countless difficulties on the way, I believe it!"
"When it is realized, everything will have meaning and everything gained will become worthwhile!"
"You mean."
Just like the time you flashed for your dreams?
By the way, you are indeed shining when you work hard towards your dreams, and are even shining brighter with time and hard work!
I understand!
"That's it, okay, I'll give up for now."
Under the expectant eyes of the girls, the elves took the initiative to assemble in formation under the command of Ash and retreated towards the opened teleporters.
"If you think about it, it's really too hasty to say that I want you to be my Queen now."
"It's really good of you to understand -"
"So from now on, you are all my Black Night Kingdom's [Queen's Reserve]!"
"?"
Faced with the doubts of the girls, Ash grinned.
"You who are still dreaming are like a green fruit. It would be a pity to pick it off and taste the sour one now. Therefore, the earth belongs to you for the time being."
"Until you reach your full sparkling maturity."
The smile on Ash's face, as if the mischief had succeeded, suddenly turned into a seductive and depraved devilish arc in the eyes of the girls.
"I'll choose the qualified person to be my Queen!"
Chapter 13: Did you escape by your own strength?
It is indeed a good thing to be able to make the extremely stubborn and aloof "king" change his self-imposed ideas without causing worse developments.
But from the point of view of "Queen" becoming "Queen-in-waiting", it feels like things are developing in a more troublesome direction.
Are you kidding me? The fact that I talk to myself has not changed at all!
"Why did it end up like this?" Kirara shook his head and couldn't accept it and wanted to try harder.
"Wait-"
"Have you forgotten? I have said it before, King's words are the absolute truth. Including your status as Queen's Reserve has been recognized by everyone at the Black Night Kingdom, it is a definite fact."
"But-"
"Ah~?" The smile standing in front of the expanded portal suddenly turned into a very threatening arc. "If you are still dissatisfied, I wouldn't mind taking you directly to the castle as trophies and forcibly evolving you from Princess to Night Queen, okay?"
To encourage growth is to encourage growth~
But this is very boring. You won't let me be so disappointed, right?
"..."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was forced to remain silent and had no opinions, or in other words, they did not dare to have any opinions.
"But."
Ash, who had stepped into the other world with one foot, suddenly thought of something and pulled it back. The girls' hearts that had finally let go suddenly reached the top again in front of his unkind smile.
Since my subjects have said that, there is indeed no need to rush things about the earth. However, there is one more thing that cannot be ignored.
"You are fighting against me as warriors who resist me, and with [Queen-in-waiting]'s identity, I can allow you to be rude to me." As he said this, Nanase Yui, who noticed Ash's subtle gaze, began to stand uneasy and felt his sight begin to recede rapidly. "However, you can't turn a blind eye when you wander in and interrupt my business."
Who told me that I am the King who will surely retaliate?
"Yui!"
With a gentle tug of the finger connected to the optical fiber, the braided girl flew into the man's open arms in front of them as if she had been baited by a fisherman?
"Eh? Little——Haruka!"
The girl who was completely unresponsive tried to move her body, but of course she couldn't move at all as she was grabbed by Ash with one hand.
"She has to pay the price for her courage and recklessness. Of course, my people will personally teach her the proper etiquette." The girls who were as anxious as ants on a hot pot couldn't listen at all. What Ash said sounded like a threat to them. "It just so happens that if she is here with me, you will not be lazy on the road of growing towards a more perfect Princess."
If you want the buds to bloom, in addition to water and fertilizer, proper sunlight is also necessary! Well, I am indeed smart enough.
"So, Pretty Cure, who hasn't passed the flash yet, please look forward to our next meeting~"
"Wait, if you want something, come to me, don't attack Yui!" An important friend was suddenly taken away to an unknown place. Haruka, who had forgotten about his combat power, was about to rush to Ash to intercept him at all costs, but at the last moment he could only watch the scene where the man who kidnapped Yui bowed to him and then disappeared into the darkness.
"Aww!"
The girl who threw herself over the place where Ash was originally was looking at her back blankly.
Pretty Cure Today, I was completely defeated. He even survived after being actively bypassed by the other party.
As a price, their good friend Nanase Yui, who would stand in their way in the face of crisis, was kidnapped in front of their incompetent self.
"Yui..."
The girl kneeling on the ground squeezed the black soil where the broken flowers were buried in her hands.
"Yui ahhhhhh!!!"
"Yui..."
The girl lying on the table clenched the edge of the table unwillingly. Where she didn't see it, those strong wooden blocks easily shattered into tiny pieces like wood slag in her hands.
It is still inside the second Student Council, which is the same as Pretty Cure's secret base, but compared to the harmonious atmosphere last time when we discussed what Haruno Haruka was dreaming about, the room at this moment is filled with a depressing feeling of low pressure.
