"Obviously, it was you who took the initiative to save me..."
However, I can only watch you being taken away...
"It's not just about Yui." Nan and Kirara's expressions were equally ugly when their friend was arrested, but the real bad news didn't stop there. "Puff and Aroma have also disappeared! It is very possible that they were also..."
It doesn't need to be explained clearly, everyone can understand what it means. At this moment, they have truly become a lonely existence.
"Everyone, let's go to that Black Night Kingdom!"
Even if we are at an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of victory or defeat, it is even more impossible for us to continue like a coward and pretend that nothing exists!
"Yeah!"
Although the suggestion was completely suicidal, this time even Kirara, the most rational person, did not refuse, and everyone nodded heavily together.
There are some things that cannot be accepted even by the sensibility of reason. Human beings are not computer-like existences.
"No matter what, we can't let Yui be alone in that place..."
"Everyone, what's wrong?"
"Yui!?"
The sudden voice made her name blurt out from the girls' mouths. The girl with braided braids standing in front of the opened door was the one they were planning to save.
"Really, is it really Yui? Did you escape? By your own strength!"
"Well, I'm right." Faced with the joy on the faces of the others, the girl who hesitated to speak finally nodded emphatically. "I'm back, everyone."
"Okay, Nanase!" As Student Council President, Nan, who cares about every student, gave her a big hug. "No matter what, just come back!"
"It's not just Yui-chan, we are also back too Puff~"
Including the missing elves, they were actually held in the arms of the returning girl at this moment. The surprises now really made Pretty Cures cry with joy.
"So, Yui!" Yao let go of the hug and wiped the tears from his eyes in a panic. After regaining his composure, Yao couldn't help but ask, "Why are you back?"
"You still have to ask, of course you escaped with courage and wisdom, right!" Kirara, who was also surprised at the side, also praised him without hesitation. "I didn't realize Weiwei~Kirara I underestimated you before!"
"Hmm... how should I put it?"
Faced with this question raised by the enthusiastic crowd, the girl seemed a little embarrassed for a moment. She pondered for a while with a subtle smile like a memory before giving an answer.
"Actually, I was sent back by that king on his own initiative."
Chapter 14 Nanase Yui's Black Night Kingdom Wonderful One-Day Trip
"Actually, I was sent back by that king on his own initiative."
"..."
"Ha-?!"
Nonsense that we cannot understand. Although she didn't actually say it out loud, Yui still saw such feelings from the indescribable expressions on the faces of her companions, which made her explain in a panic.
"It's not what you think, this kind of thing, this kind of thing..."
Although I wanted to explain it, the more I recalled the girl's expression, the more subtle it became.
"What should I say?"
"You know girl."
He asked his elves to deliberately turn the light bulbs to dim mode. Standing in the gloomy reception room, which was very suitable for interrogation, and standing in the darkness, a certain playful king took the initiative to block the way with his raised arms, and deliberately put his face close to the innocent girl with braids who was about to shrink into a ball.
"In my kingdom, speaking to me in such a loud tone is a serious crime."
Facing that sly smile that was getting closer, in Wei's eyes, it seemed as terrifying as the swaying ghost.
"Um... yeah, sorry..."
She was captured without any ability to fight back... Unlike Haruka, President Nan, and the others, she was not timid. Daiya was not a warrior, but just a completely ordinary person. She knew very well that in such an enemy base camp, the power of life and death rested entirely with the enemy.
"I will accept the punishment of your country."
Regret... it's useless.
However, if it was to help Haruka, I have no regrets.
"That's so easy to say~" Very satisfied with Wei Wei's fearful posture, Ash nodded and took back her body, letting her breathe a sigh of relief. "However, I am very curious about your courage to even dare to resist me."
How can I put it this way, you are a top-notch local girl in terms of hairstyle and glasses, but you can shine like that for your friends even though you don't have any sparkle from your appearance? You said it was because she protected your dream?
Heng: Dreams... what are the dreams you always talk about and admire.
Oops, the more you talk about dreams now, doesn't my already agitated heart become more curious?
"Then..." Looking at Ash's profile, which was lost in thought, the girl carefully raised her hand. "Can I, ask a question?"
"I'm curious what you can ask me?"
As a mere ordinary human being?
"Since you captured me." With her uneasy throat crawling, the girl still mustered up the courage to speak out. "Then, can you let Haruka and the others go?"
"I arrested you because I wanted to." At this time, while discussing this matter with himself, Ash snorted with some dissatisfaction. "Why, are you still bargaining with me?"
"Then I have nothing to say."
Don't worry about the last thought, Nanase Yui closed his eyes and looked ready to be killed, and after waiting for a long time, he heard a burst of laughter that really made him feel depressed.
"Hahahahaha!"
What? It's obviously hard for me to wake up! Do you still laugh at me at this time?
"Girl! What do you think the punishment for disrespecting the king will be?"
"Could it be that..." Although she was prepared, the girl who thought about the plots of various costume TV dramas could not help but feel nervous and fearful after being reminded by Ash. "Yes, are you going to be beheaded?"
"Wrong!" Under the extremely nervous gaze of the girl, Ash emphasized emphatically. "A cricket just lost its head. The truth is much more severe than that!"
Worse than beheading? Then, what could that be——
"As punishment, you have to clean my room for a month!"
Originally it only took half a month, but you just dared to contradict me again and bargain with me. This is an additional punishment!
"Huh?"
Before she could recover from the tense atmosphere, the dazed girl grabbed her hands and left the room involuntarily. etc! His palms were so big and hot.
"Wait, please let go... I can walk by myself!"
The girl's shameful struggle along the way was naturally ignored by Ash. In the process of following the other party's movement, the girl's attention was quickly diverted by the surrounding environment.
Passing through the huge foyer, what caught the girl's eyes was the walls that were surrounded by exquisite carvings. Every detail seemed to have been touched by the artistic elves... No, it might not be as if, the girl did see the elves who were carefully taking care of the environment. Everyone was performing their duties together, just like a reappearance of a scene in a fairy tale.
The high-hanging ceiling is decorated with exquisite chandeliers that sparkle with bright crystals. Every piece of the marble floor laid out under the feet is like a work of art, which makes the girl almost reluctant to step on it. She walks past the subtle candlelight around her and the screen window blown by the wonderful wind. The original fear in the girl's eyes was replaced by wonderful wonder.
Her hand was released at some point, and the girl naturally followed behind King.
Could it be that I have arrived at the castle of King in the fairy tale? No... he is indeed King?
Different from the story in the picture book, this is the real King.
Not only that, those strange elves that had left a very strong impression on her before were also everywhere here, but they were different from the impression when they first met. They here were indeed more like ordinary elves playing and playing in the spacious castle room.
"Hmm... that seems to be it?"
The girl who pushed up her glasses confirmed that she had seen it correctly. She saw the soft Puff surrounded by a group of elves who were craning their heads, letting their enthusiastic people add more decorations to the body of the noble lady dog elf.
"Ah~ so beautiful, thank you Puff!"
Opposite Puff, who was admiring the beauty alone, the elves quietly started to stir again.
"What a cute elf... I haven't seen him for a long time!"
Lord Ash is really a nice person, but we just like the bodies we draw from various references... It's a little hard to describe.
"Ah, it reminds me of my past... Damn, it's really cute!"
"With this kind of temperament, could it be said that he is an elf serving the royal family!"
Among the noisy little animals, a white gamma beast mustered up the courage to bring flowers to her.
"Miss Puff, please go on a date with me——"
"How is that possible!" The purple parrot swooped down with full of anger and wounded its head; ow. "My sister is only 120 years old and is not yet an adult. What do you want to do, Roma!"
"What? Don't think that since you are my brother-in-law, I will be afraid of you and come to a duel!"
"Who is afraid of whom, Roma!"
The purple parrot and the little white beast fought in disagreement, and the other elves naturally gathered around and cheered the names of both sides. Looking at this lively scene, the slightly troubled girl had more impressions of the Black Night Kingdom elves.
What a group of elves... even hotter than King.
Chapter 15 Citizens, I found a maid and she wants to go home with me
"Sorry, please give way!"
Before things completely fell into a literal whirlwind, Nanase Yui hurriedly rushed in while apologizing to the elves, and finally hugged Puff and Aroma, who had a few bird feathers ripped out and was screaming sharply.
"I didn't expect that Puff and Aroma already get along so happily with everyone?"
I thought it would be a terrible situation, but it was a little unexpected.
"Who and them - well." Although he was very dissatisfied with the elf who wanted to take action against his own sister, Aroma was not willing to say anything against his will. "They really didn't give us any trouble, Roma."
"Yeah!" Puff cheered happily while holding the various souvenir gifts given by the enthusiastic elves. "Everyone is very happy here Puff!"
"They also said they like Black Night Kingdom Puff very much!"
"That's right."
For elves who are very sensitive to emotions, hiding and pretending are useless. Since Puff and Aroma have said so, then the possibility of Ash being a show off is eliminated.
But... thinking of how Ash behaved with the elves outside, especially the king who didn't care at all and even abused the elves, the girl couldn't help but shook her head.
"Could it be that there is some hidden secret that I can't know yet?"
Or is he not the only one who is wrong?
As an ordinary girl who is kind and innocent, Nanase Yui, who didn't quite understand it, felt the commotion in her heart inexplicably.
"Arrived."
Standing in front of a certain ordinary wooden door, Wei, who was holding Puff and the others, looked at Ash's inexplicably encouraging eyes from behind. She raised her hand in a frustrated mood and pushed hard.
However, there were no strange things behind the door as she imagined. They were just ordinary things. Things like washing machines, washboards, soap, and piles of various clothes... Of course, there was also a figure who was trying to make a fuss. When the soldiers saw the people coming, they greeted them cheerfully.
"Ah! It's the King and his guests—oh, Kuruci..."
"This is Doran Castle's laundry room." The blue-haired dragon girl who wanted to say hello eagerly was so excited that she accidentally stepped on the soap and soiled the clothes that were finally cleaned. Ash, who was completely accustomed to such embarrassing things, introduced to Wei: "This is Little Blue, the cleaning supervisor of the castle."
"According to the rules, this child will be responsible for cleaning my room in the next month, so she will follow you after that."
"Put it on me!" Hearing that the person who came was actually his new subordinate, he immediately slapped Little Blue, who had forgotten all his bad luck, on his chest, which was as flat as Pretty Cure. "I will definitely teach her how to clean her teeth, and she will never disappoint King!"
"Ah..." Shanshan reacted and Wei quickly bowed and saluted to Little Blue opposite. "Um, Master Lan? Please help me?"
Everything seems to have been decided for me here, is... is that what you said?
"Haha, keep it on me!"
"Very good, then you will work under Little Blue first." The man, whose aura became inexplicably calm, patted the girl's shoulder angrily, almost shaking her glasses off. "Start as a trainee maid at the Black Night Kingdom, and strive to upgrade step by step, haha!"
"Wait, wait King!" The girl who quickly stabilized her glasses seemed to understand the key to getting along with Ash, and raised her hand to ask him again with the honorific. "I...?"
When did you become Black Night Kingdom? I am obviously still a student of the Noble Academy?
"What, did you forget?"
The subtle look that once frightened me suddenly came closer again.
"The reason why this is happening now, and the reason why you are punished with a month of cleaning is because you said you would accept the punishment of our country."
