"[You are also curious, right?]"
Hearing that inexplicably calm voice, Nan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that it was indeed true.
If I could actually go to the Black Night Kingdom and see it with my own eyes, maybe I could learn something!
It's the same whether it's the method of defeating him or the possibility of understanding things related to him!
"But... aren't you from his side?"
Why do you want to help me instead?
"[I want him to be happy.]" The little bat flapped its wings and flew around the girl before flying into the portal again. "[If it can help others understand more about him and make you like him more.]"
"[I'd love to.]"
"You're... ah, gone."
Without hesitating for too long, the girl mustered up her courage.
It said it was for Ash's happiness. Can you trust him so much to have a good relationship with me? But... if even that little bat can do it alone, then so can I!
After thinking about all this, the girl gathered up the courage to take her first step to the other side.
"Yeah!"
After passing through the portal, the girl who was clearly mentally prepared was so frightened by the unexpected smooth feeling under her feet that she almost stumbled to the ground. After finally getting up, she noticed the huge shadow cast around her.
"Is this a castle?"
A fantasy scene like a medieval castle in a movie unfolded around Nan. Nan, who was now in Doran Castle Dragon, looked at the surrounding environment and sighed at the splendor and beauty of this place just like Nanase Yui who visited Nanase Yui for the first time.
"But..."
Affected by the surrounding high-end environment, Nan unconsciously began to concentrate on maintaining the etiquette of his steps while walking in the corridor. While walking alone in the dark hall, bypassing the bright candlelight on the left and right, some new thoughts appeared in Nan's mind.
"It's obviously black everywhere here."
The huge castle always gives people a sense of oppression, but surprisingly it doesn't feel that "closed"?
Could it be said that Ash looks different when he is in his castle and when he appears outside? Hmm... It's not impossible that this kind of setting will appear on TV.
"This is?"
Standing in front of the huge picture frame, looking at the picture of Ash (the fitness version without shirt) constructed with oil paintings, showing off his power, even a girl who is quite experienced in appreciating art cannot find words, and can only feel the corners of her mouth twitching.
"It's really clear to see how proud I am."
From this point of view, he should be completely consistent with his appearance, but I think too much.
"The food Lord Ash brought for us last time was so delicious."
"Yes, it is indeed Lord Ash!"
"Haha, I'm hungry too."
The sound of approaching from a distance made Nan realize that there were elves coming here. Without thinking much, the girl hid under the floor-to-ceiling curtains on one side, trying to hear what they had to say about Ash in private.
"Ash will actually bring gifts to the citizens down there... Wow." Seeing the familiar pastry in the hand of the unicorn pony, the girl suddenly remembered. "Aren't these the uneaten snacks from Family Day some time ago?"
I was still surprised, who took the initiative to clean up the rest, and it turned out to be you? Aren't you a dignified King? Why do you have to do this so easily? What is the no waste principle?
But something doesn't seem right. After all, he called himself a school worker at that time.
"I feel so full... I feel like I want to rest."
"Now that it's over, let's go to sleep."
Sleep? Thinking of the wonderful time he had played with Puff and letting her fall asleep in his arms, Nan, who thought he could see another scene of healing, couldn't help but smile.
Sure enough, no matter how strange they look, these elves are still cute elves.
"It's true. It's a bit tiring to maintain this posture all the time."
Then when she saw the pony reaching for the back of her neck with its hooves, the girl was stunned.
Wait, did I just see that.
That's... a zipper?
Chapter 42 Yui who became a regular employee and Minami who escaped
"I feel too stuffy after wearing this for too long."
"Zhila——!"
The elf with the appearance of a cute unicorn pony grabbed the hidden zipper on the back of his neck with his hooves, and actually pulled it all the way down.
Then, an extremely astonishing scene was staged in front of the girl. After several elves opened the hidden zipper one after another, the soft flesh softened as if it was leaking air, and in the soft leather case, several ghostly will-o'-the-wisps floated up with the appearance of their former lives.
"Oh, if you keep wearing the holster, you will forget the fact that you are actually dead."
"Yes, yes." One of the will-o'-the-wisps flew around several times after it escaped. "I'm still so comfortable, but I always feel like running naked like this!"
"We elves don't have to wear clothes in the first place, right?"
"That's right."
While these "will-o'-the-wisps" were floating freely in the corner of the hall, a trembling voice came from behind Yuyu.
"Ghost... is it a ghost?!"
The sudden sound startled a few will-o'-the-wisps, and when they turned around in confusion, they saw a trembling blue-haired girl standing under the portrait of Ash.
"You are... oh! You are Master Queen of Mirai!"
You must know that when Ash fell in love with Pretty Cure and decided to proclaim Queen, the whole country was in a state of ups and downs. After all, from the time of the Fairy Kingdom, Queen and Princess have been another "symbol of hope" opposite to King. How can you not make them happy when they hear such a thing?
Therefore, the appearance and characteristics of the three Pretty Cure have been spread by the elves in advance. It can be said that there is no one in the Black Night Kingdom who does not know them.
Unexpectedly, even Queen is here... ahem! We must leave a good impression on her and make her realize the beauty of our Black Night Kingdom!
"Ahem!" With lofty and serious faith, the smiling will-o'-the-wisp came closer and said under Nan's more frightened eyes, "Excuse me, what's wrong? Are you lost? As long as we can help, please feel free to speak!"
Haha, Lord Ash will definitely reward us!
"No, don't..."
"No?"
It's a pity that the polite voice of this elf soul combined with the performance of the soul fire floating in the air, reached the ears of the girl who was extremely afraid of ghosts, and it was like a vicious bell like hell, as if a bloody mouth was opening to suffocate her at any time.
"Ghost... I have been a good boy since I was a child! Ghost, don't come here...!"
"Ghost? Where is the ghost?"
After hearing this, the few will-o'-the-wisps looked around hurriedly, and finally followed the girl's trembling fingers and locked... themselves?
"Yes." The few ghost fires nodded after reacting. "I have forgotten what I am used to. We are indeed dead, hahaha..."
"It's really a ghost ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Noble Academy Princess, the conscientious and responsible Student Council President, the rich daughter of Kaito Group, and the legendary Pretty Cure.
Without even a moment's hesitation, he ran away without looking back.
"Hmph, Wei-chan, you've done very well in studying these days!" Little Blue, the cleaning supervisor, nodded happily when he saw the bespectacled girl wearing a maid outfit coming out of the locker room. "As expected of the trainee maid who studied with me, she learns quickly!"
"In the days to come, I have to ask you to officially clean Lord Ash's room!"
"I know, but..." She awkwardly tugged at the hem of her skirt that only covered her thighs. Wei, who looked shy, was very embarrassed. "If you're wearing a maid outfit, why is the skirt so short?"
It's not formal at all, like this.
"Well, this is Lord Ash's special standard rule! The maid's skirt must be short enough, King said so!"
Unfortunately, I am responsible for cleaning and laundry and have to wear an apron. I have no chance to wear such a short skirt. Or is it that Yuicai has such a heavyweight job right from the beginning? Lord Ash really values her... Wow, I'm so envious.
"However, if mine is now created by Lord Ash and Laundry Dragon Girl, then Yui-chan is Xiaohei... Wow, why, now in terms of class, Yui is higher than me! Kuaasi!"
"But Lord Lan is still my senior."
Seeing the girl elf with the dragon horns struggling alone, Yui responded with a kind smile.
During these days of going to the Black Night Kingdom, Wei, who was still a little worried, gradually became relieved. The worst thought that he would be touched by that king might not have happened. He really only came over occasionally to supervise his progress and then hurried out again.
As a trainee maid here, it's more about having fun and getting along with everyone than just following along. In these days, she naturally became good friends with elves including Little Blue.
In addition, the painting skills she constantly learned from the carrot elf teacher who was the palace painter also made her dream progress a little bit step by step.
Although there are so many elves with strange looks and temperaments in the Black Night Kingdom for some reason, there is only one thing that can be confirmed, that is, everyone is a good person!
"I can get everyone's approval." Thinking of seeing Laundry Dragon Girl's cute appearance in a hurry these days, Nanase Yui, who was holding back a smile under his glasses, nodded politely. "This is also thanks to Master Lan."
"You don't need to call me adults, just like we call you Wei-chan, you can just call us by our names." Although he said this, Little Blue still looked like he was very grateful for the praise. "But having said all that, I still have to take you to meet the people responsible for the security of King."
"Come on, come on!" He enthusiastically pushed Wei, who was still a little reserved, in front of everyone. Little Blue and the elves also greeted her enthusiastically. "After all, you are the first human being brought back by Lord Ash. Everyone is a little curious about you!"
"Is... is that so?" I have never enjoyed this kind of feeling of being surrounded by stars, but I am a little shy. "I obviously don't even know anyone yet."
"What's so difficult about this?" The various elves with different styles who were talking had already jumped out. "This is the little rabbit, this is the puppy, this is Tian Ting Hao, this is Front Support Gun Barrel Dragon!"
"Hello everyone, my name is Nanase Yui!" Facing the "cute" elves greeting her in front of her, the girl tried her best to introduce herself in school. "Studying at the Noble Academy, my current occupation is the king's trainee maid, my hobby is painting, and my dream is to become a picture book artist!"
I feel like I feel more relaxed now when I say this kind of thing.
"Don't come over here!"
Hmm... is this voice?
Student Council President?
Classmate Nan?
Chapter 43 Can you let me get under Kangkang's skirt?
"Classmate Nan?"
Wei, who was introducing each other to her new elf friends, did not expect to see other familiar people here. As she continued to look at the screaming voice, the girl took off the flat glasses on the bridge of her nose to rub her eyes to see clearly.
"Wait, Master Queen! It's our fault, we shouldn't scare you!"
Several groups of ghost-like fairy fires were desperately chasing behind them, while the girl whose expression was almost melted by fear was running equally hard in front. The more they chased, the harder the girl ran.
"Don't come over. I take a shower every day, so I'm very clean. It doesn't taste good!"
"You are from King! How could we dare to touch you?"
Although they say so, for a girl whose fear is poked into her heart, she will only desperately want to escape further.
"It's really true..."
It was clear that he was not timid when fighting monsters like Fortress of Despair, but now he was being chased by several will-o'-the-wisps and was running all over the place. It was indeed the first time she had seen the heroic Student Council President running away in panic with a face full of fear.
And those ghostly will-o'-the-wisps look a bit familiar... Ghost, Ghoststone and Gengar? What? Isn't this cute? Why is Nan-san so afraid?
"Could it be that, President, she is really afraid of ghosts?"
A little, a little unexpected?
"Report to King, Miss Nan, one of Queen-in-waiting, is currently wandering in the hall on the right side of Doran Castle. She seems to be scared!"
"Oh, let's not talk about why you came in. Did you realize you were scared after you came?" He put down the handheld game that was playing with the heroine's portrait and text. Ash, who sat up from the diagonal golden throne, suddenly felt energetic after listening to his subordinate's report.
"I think she is quite strong, and she picks herself up again after a setback no slower than Haruka. I thought she had nothing to fear."
Obviously, she didn't have such a big reaction when she was fighting Fortress of Despair, or even when she was forced by me before. I thought she was a serious and dignified sister-type character. This is really... the contrast cannot help but be interesting!
Gently touching the little bat standing on his shoulder, the man rubbed his chin out of curiosity as he watched the scene of Kaito Minami running away in the castle projected from the bat's eyes.
"How did she come here, not to mention how she actually developed fear in my castle?"
There was no way this expression was staged.
"What was she shouting while running?"
