In other words, you want to actively join my country and become my prop, right? I agreed. Who said I was a very tolerant king?
Black Night Kingdom people punish me for disrespecting me, and this is it. There is no way, all citizens are my props, and the lack of any prop means that the country is also missing a part.
"Don't think of me as some girl looking like a villain in a cartoon. This is no joke."
After walking past the girl who was so shocked that her mouth opened wide, she took off her unstained shawl and leather jacket and handed them to Little Blue who had been waiting for a long time. Ash tugged at the green vest underneath that was slightly damp with sweat.
"You know, this is not the case for punishing those who are disrespectful to non-citizens~"
"..."
How...
How domineering like a king.
"So, from now on Nanase Yui, you are the trainee maid belonging to the Black Night Kingdom!"
"Yes... yes."
Nanase Yui, who had never been treated so forcefully, chose to "surrender" with the last little doubt.
Is this, is this legal?
"In my kingdom, every word I say is an ironclad rule!" Like reading the mind, Ash saw through the girl's doubts at a glance.
"Why am I not surprised at all..." Holding the maid uniform presented by Little Blue and Puff and the others in his hands, Nanase Yui couldn't help but want to sigh. Obviously she is not a character with this attribute, so why is she gradually turning into a complainer?
"By the way, Wei, one more thing."
"Even if it's King, don't call her name directly... What's wrong?"
"You said that before but I forgot." The man who turned a deaf ear to the complaints picked up what looked like an antique telephone in his hand and turned the dial. "What is your dream?"
Black Night Kingdom The elves and I seem to have forgotten our dreams just like adults.
So you are the only one.
"I want to be a picture book writer."
Won't you laugh at me?
"Are you trying hard?"
Isn't this great?
"Well... I'm practicing my painting skills."
What is the person planning to do who suddenly asked this? The girl was filled with doubts and saw Ash put down the microphone in her hand. Not long after, a huge radish carrying an easel trotted over.
"This is our Black Night Kingdom's court painter." The girl gradually opened her mouth as she looked at the big carrot with strange funny expressions on her body that was saluting her. "I allow you to study with it at your leisure."
"Why, why?"
When I arrived, I expected to be treated very harshly. After all, you don't look like a good person.
But why are you so nice to me?
"Yeah, why?"
Probably because those "Princess" people want to make themselves more sparkling through dreams.
I also want to find a dream that is close at hand as a reference, right?
Chapter 16 King insults Dyspear and Pretty Cure, King is invincible in the world!
"By the way, there's one more thing."
A solid arm pressed next to her head again, and the girl who was knocked against the wall no longer felt fear. She just stared blankly at him as he pushed up her glasses with one finger, and a green shimmer followed the direction of the finger and merged into her pupils.
Feeling a little cold?
Wait, it's so blurry... so dizzy.
"What's wrong Yui! Did he do something to you Roma?!"
"... Huh?"
Taking off her glasses from her blurry eyes, the girl blinked. Everything Ash in front of her was extremely clear in her eyes.
The girl who had been wearing glasses since she was born due to shrinkage was staring blankly at the black-rimmed glasses in her hands. Things that were once very familiar and taken for granted now looked a little strange.
Is my nearsightedness cured?
"Hmm~"
Seeing the girl's dazed look after taking off her glasses, Ash couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
"You look better without glasses."
Carefully placing the back of the hand holding the glasses in front of her face, the girl carefully covered up her shyness.
"So at that time, I suggested to Ash if I could be sent back to the Noble Academy. After all, if the dormitory manager Platinum found out that someone was absent from work, something big would happen."
"So...?"
"So." The girl nodded to her friends with an impression. "He himself came in a flying elf to send us back."
Yui already belongs to my tools and the people——Since it is the request of the people, how can the great king turn a blind eye? ——I have no laws restricting citizens' travel. It's up to you to decide where you want to go. But remember to come back and clean up.
"Probably, that's it."
What a domineering and willful king.
"...?"
The three girls all tilted their heads.
Real or fake?
Have we been living on earth for too long... and can't keep up with the ideas of people in other worlds?
Faced with doubts, Nanase Yui calmly pushed up the glasses given to him by the elves.
"Anyway, that's the story."
Coupled with the additions of Puff and Aroma, by the time "Nanase Yui's Bizarre Adventure" is finished, the three of Princess Pretty Cure already look like they were "born by their mother".
"Wei Wei!" She pressed her hands hard on the shoulders of the frightened black-haired girl. Through her no longer heavy glasses, she saw Kirara's extremely serious and worried expression. "Are you sure that what you saw is true and you were deceived? Maybe that person used vicious hypnosis on you or something, so that you thought you just had a wonderful castle trip when you came back!"
Kirara gets angry when she thinks about that man talking to himself and treating himself as his "Queen-in-waiting". I wonder if she hates these freewheeling egotisms the most? Who knows if such people will suddenly change their minds and prepare to use other methods to deal with us!
Maybe he secretly did something bad to Weiwei during hypnosis... Wow, I can't think about it anymore! Kirara You can't become like that kind of person!
"What are Kirara talking about?" Puff, who didn't quite understand, gnawed on the oranges given in the souvenirs and tilted his head. "Neither my brother nor I felt this strange reaction, Puff?"
"I don't think it's a big deal, right?" Although she knew that the other party was worried about her as a friend, Wei still felt that it was a bit alarmist. "Why does Kirara think so?"
"Because, that guy looks like someone who would do such a thing!"
"Indeed." After imagining Ash into the situation for a while, I found that there was really no sense of peacekeeping.
Speaking of which, since I am considered Black Night Kingdom's trainee maid... So is Wang's really good?
"However, Kirara, don't be too nervous." Nan, who was worthy of being the president, acted as a lubricant at the critical moment. "Ignoring that person in advance, Nanase is back in full force. This is the best thing."
"That's true."
"But!" Looking into the eyes of her roommate who had returned, Yao inexplicably saw a sense of familiarity in her eyes. "Yui, has he really become a citizen of the Black Night Kingdom?"
"Yeah."
"In this case." With deep worry in her eyes, the girl covered her friend's hand with her palm. "As a maid or something, do you really want to go?"
Sorry, sorry! I'm really sorry! If Yui hadn't come forward to help me earlier, there would be no need for me to be taken away and to be worried for the rest of the time!
They are all too weak and have no power...
"It's okay, I'm not afraid."
Wei's hand gently touched the back of Haruno Haruka's trembling hand, and her gentle words dispelled the girl's constant self-blame.
"I'll go, but not out of fear of him."
Ash This person... how should I put it, is indeed a terrible person.
However, none of the elves in the Black Night Kingdom are so afraid of him.
"Hey, why?"
Facing everyone's worries and doubts, the smile on Wei's face became relaxed.
"After all..."
"You can't go back on something you promised, right?"
"~"
When Ash, who had finished playing around, sat firmly on the throne of the huge Doran Castle with a look that was more familiar to everyone, all kinds of monsters, ghosts and elves underneath, no matter what they were doing, stopped their movements and leaned down together to Ash to perform the highest etiquette belonging to the elves.
Countless eyes were focused on him, and Ash could feel that after yesterday's battle, their respect for him had risen to another level.
Because he is their King, he can naturally feel everything.
"It's King, King is here!"
Not just because he gave them new lives and bodies.
Not just because I gave them a new place to live.
"Did you see it?" Ash, who was stroking the little bat on his hand and facing the enthusiasm of the people, just asked lightly.
But these former elves really respected and loved their "outsider" King in terms of ability.
"Have you seen my fight and my invincible power?!"
"Yes! King will insult Dyspear and Pretty Cure!" A frog in a suit responded first, waving a call stick, and immediately started shouting in response. "Lord Ash is invincible in the world!"
"King! King! King——!"
It was another victory, and the cheers swept over and over again like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Ash Without any instructions, countless emotional storms have already taken the initiative.
Chapter 17 Black Night Kingdom Record
"King! King! King——!"
Ash, who was so happy that he changed his legs-crossing position on the throne, gave an imperceptible smile.
Listen, my people are excitedly calling that name! They are sincerely proud that they can own such King!
Perhaps under the influence of Ash, the elves of the Black Night Kingdom have become extremely deviant compared to when they were still orthodox elves. For example, King was cheering wildly in the face of the evil deeds that could be called "plundering". Only those with strong strength in the audience could suppress this excitement.
"..."
Then with just a raised gesture, countless frantic sounds stopped in the blink of an eye, and the repressed emotions of respect and love turned into countless pairs of hopeful eyes looking at Ash.
All this was so simple that without even saying it, countless elves followed his thoughts.
The reason why there is such a sense of trust is because the elf has witnessed Ash fulfill his promise step by step. After all, Earth was not his first step. As mentioned before, three worlds had already been completely ruled by the Black Night Kingdom before coming here!
It is precisely because the elf has the keen awareness of sensing his mind that he trusts him even more in times like this! Only then will he voluntarily become the gear and prop mentioned by Ash!
It is natural for the citizens to trust and respect their king wholeheartedly!
And the king leads his people to obtain a wider world and more treasures!
This feeling of mutual "trust", like the light he saw in Pretty Cure's eyes before, satisfied him in another way.
Maybe this is what is called "power"?
He didn't know what his previous self thought, but at least he was now the King of the Black Night Kingdom.
Ash likes this feeling very much.
"Pink... pink..."
First he thought of the pink girl who looked a bit furry, and then thought of the thick eyebrows. Ash finally remembered what the other party was called. "It's Haruno Haruka, right? Since you wanted to be Princess but refused the order to be me Queen."
