"Thank you."
Instead of covering it up, Guangming laughed loudly. The previously vague attitude towards Ash was now completely wiped out in front of the girl.
"I have the same change of heart about Ash."
Whether it's a changed view of the Black Night Kingdom that I actually saw, or a change of your view of this king—Ash.
"I have decided that I must really defeat you to prove your mistake."
"That's really great."
The more serious you are in this regard, the happier I will be.
Will the "shine" that I like, the "shine" that Black Night Kingdom needs, be revealed more in you like this?
Chapter 52 Kirara: Is there something wrong with this shot?
"However, rather than the sparkle you always hope to find from us through change, why not Ash try to change yourself?"
"Change?"
"That's right, just like we have changed our views on Ash. Why don't Ash also try to pursue his own brilliance?"
The sparkle that belongs only to me, what is that, is it something related to Pretty Cure... Just as Ash was pacing and thinking about this proposal, he happened to come to Yui and realized that the other party's glasses were still pinched in his hand.
But talking about it.
"Aren't you no longer short-sighted? Why are you still wearing plain glasses?"
I specifically injected Demon Emperor Power into your eyes to change the internal sequence error.
"I've been used to this since I was a kid, so without glasses I always feel like my face is empty and uncomfortable..."
"How strange."
The only thing I don't want to be called Ash is that it's weird... After venting her thoughts, the girl who always felt burdened couldn't help but ask him.
"Ash, don't you like the way I look with glasses?"
It was the same last time, and it's the same this time. If you took off my glasses easily, could it be out of Ash your hobby?
"No."
To the girl's surprise, after the man took out her glasses, he took the initiative to put them on both ears.
"Glasses are almost your specialty, just like you have the label of a special girl with glasses. I won't be able to do something as unwise as destroying the attributes of other characters."
But why?
"As for me, I prefer to see the true appearance of things without concealment." He used his fingers to help her push her glasses back to the bridge of her nose bit by bit, and looked at her panicked look. Ash laughed happily. "I originally thought you would find it troublesome and would be grateful to me after getting help. Now it seems that you wearing glasses are a part of the real Nanase Yui."
"Like this, it's obviously quite beautiful."
Does this mean that the real Ash wants to see the real me more?
"Thank you!"
Wei smiled, sincerely.
Now she is smiling happily.
"Wei-chan! Haruka Princess! Nan-chan! - And of course my favorite Kirara Luo, the four of us haven't seen each other for a long time!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" When Ash came up to give him a hug with his disgusting words, Kirara, who had goosebumps all over his body, hurriedly escaped from the direction of his capture with his friends.
"With this way of speaking, are you an alcoholic uncle somewhere?"
It's okay to add this cute nickname at the end, but also specially add a refrain to my title...
"Don't look disgusted. Kirara is obviously used to such cute calls. We are exactly the same, right?"
"It's definitely different!"
I did call Yao HaruHaru, and Nanase called Weiwei, but those are the intimate terms between good friends! Moreover, both of them are so cute. What relationship does it have between me and them? What does it have to do with you always coming close to me?
"I know, you must be shy and embarrassed to always compete with me!" Putting down the broom that was cleaning the fallen leaves for the time being, the proud Ash opened his chest to the girl again. "I don't hate roses with thorns, so if you want them, come on, my arms that are not afraid of stings are always open to you!"
Although I met Kirara and the others during the school janitor's working hours, it doesn't matter. I had already expected this possibility and had finished the work at hand. I was waiting for the time when I could seamlessly switch my identity as King to communicate with Queen!
"What a joke!"
He always has an aloof attitude but acts as he pleases according to his desires... It's like pretending to be cool, but in fact he's still acting like a gangster, isn't he? What I, Amanogawa Kirara, hate the most is a self-centered man like you who doesn't consider other people's mood at all!
"Stop arguing." At the critical moment, Yaopai, who was still on one side, smiled and came over to help smooth things over. "Kirara, don't be angry. This is probably a special way of showing goodwill that only belongs to Ash."
At least after this period of time with Ash, Haruka was convinced that Ash, who had no sense of boundaries and often wandered around, was really a headache. But despite having many opportunities, he has never taken a step that he shouldn't have taken. Maybe it's because as a king, he sees a lower bottom line than us Pretty Cure.
"How can it be explained like this? Yao, you are so kind to speak for him!" Kirara, who couldn't get angry for a moment when he saw his friend's smiling face, kept shaking his head. "It would be better to explain why you can still get along with him so normally after being treated so harshly."
It's not like I'm a masochist. If someone with inferior skills loses, he loses. Not to mention, but if I was knocked down again and again and forced to get up and fight again... I will never be able to forgive such an excessive guy in my life!
"Why?"
I thought about it, because he really kept his promise, acknowledged and respected my dream, and I could feel that his view of dreams was not bad. After all, the sparkle he pursues from us is the color of our "dreams".
"Well... because, I think the actual Ash is not that extreme."
Although sometimes the overly bold actions can scare people, and sometimes the suddenly perverted words are really obscene and annoying... but I also have a feeling that this is not what Ash really means.
"So I want to try and get along with (the real) Ash?"
The girls who heard Haruka's series of remarks were silent, so HaruHaru, what and what are you talking about?
"If you ask me, it's all because HaruHaru you are so kind."
So we gave him the illusion that we could easily take him down.
"Nan, can you tell me too?"
"Well, I don't think this is necessarily Haruka's problem?"
"Nan... Nan?" The bow on the brown-haired girl's head trembled with her owner's shocked and abnormal reaction. At this moment, Kirara was looking at the serious Nan in disbelief. "Kirara, I think if you always wear heterochromatic glasses, you will never be able to see the truth."
Of course, if I hadn't seen the attitude of the elves at the Black Night Kingdom and his reaction to Yui's accident, I would probably have continued to think so.
"If you can only think of the bad side of the other person, you will always only be able to see the bad side."
Can there be such a statement? Wait, shouldn't we be enemies with him? How come... how do you feel like you are getting along with him on friendly terms?
Kirara, who inexplicably felt a little lonely around him, cast his searching eyes on the last person, Nanase Yui. Weiwei, you were kidnapped and forced to be his maid. It sounds so bad just to hear it. You won't like it, right?
"..."
Looking at Kirara, whose eyes were filled with desire, and then at Ash, who showed no "repentance", the overwhelmed girl finally moved her body behind the man, not daring to look at anyone.
"I think... quarrels are bad."
"..."
What's going on, this atmosphere where I'm the only one who can't do it?
Could it be that... it's my problem this time?
As a young model who exudes self-confidence all the time, at this moment, Amanogawa Kirara fell into a whirlpool of self-doubt for the first time.
Chapter 53 The atmosphere is getting better and better Princesss
"My Princess, please wait a moment."
Passing in front of Kirara, who was mired in self-doubt, the man who took off his peaked cap took something out of his pocket and placed it in the hand of the girl, who was looking increasingly surprised.
"This is back to you."
"This is...!"
When other people who were a little curious stretched their necks carefully and saw someone's face printed on it, they suddenly showed the same surprised expression as Yao's face.
This is a batch of banknotes, it is real money!
"Are you planning to buy me with money?"
I don't know why Yao suddenly thought of this kind of thing.
It always feels so vulgar!
"I will only get what I really want with my own hands." The man retorted without hesitation. "So this is just a matter of borrowing and repaying, don't get me wrong."
"Did you borrow or return...?"
"Ha, you obviously paid for it but you forgot?" Ash couldn't believe it and covered his face with his palms in a pretentious manner. "Last time, we went on a date to an amusement park, wasn't it? You also knocked down a Fortress of Despair there. Have you forgotten about this?"
I thought you were as unforgettable about the date as I was, but... well, it seems that this time it's me who is being too sentimental~
"This is what happened!"
This part of the memory about the date had been filled in Yao's heart with the "happiness" of having fun and the "satisfaction" of admitting his dream. It wasn't until the man mentioned it that he suddenly remembered it.
"But, how can I accept it? Since we are dating, there is no need for Ash to do such a thing again, right?"
It was an unexpected positive development to be able to establish an initial trusting relationship with Ash at that time, not to mention that Haruno Haruka valued the friendship from a "king" very much. Of course she would like to maintain this friendship if possible.
"What are you talking about?" It's just different from what the girl thought. Seeing Haruka still giving in, Ash became a little angry. "I'm a king - even though I may be a school janitor sometimes, I'm still a man. Why am I asking you to pay for me?"
I can't accept anything you can accept!
"I know, but since we both bought the parfait that time, I can only take half of the money!"
"Really, you won't give me any chance to repay you... Okay, that's enough."
He wiped his eyes twice. Amanogawa Kirara, who originally thought that Yao was being deceived by the other party's sweet words, once again refreshed his cognitive expectations. At least judging from the attitude of this friend and the other party, this relationship is by no means false.
Also, being able to talk about dating the other person so easily? Is this the cute HaruHaru I know who is shy and longing for the topic of love?
"Wait... something feels wrong..."
Carefully, he looked at the embarrassed Haruka and the somewhat helpless Ash. The relationship between the two seemed really good, but it just didn't have the sweetness of love. It was like... hiss!
This King of Evil said he wants to guide us all to become Queen Consort who will fall in love with him, but where does this strategy start?
Could it be that I'm the only one who can't understand it?
"Nan, how are you doing here recently? I tried my best to endure myself and didn't go to Dysdark to steal your experience points again."
"Thanks to you." After taking off the "noble" coat of being Student Council President in front of her friends and becoming just Kaito Minami, she gradually became able to get the hidden meaning in Ash's words, and she could even make a few jokes occasionally. "Dysdark seems to be afraid to come over recently. He even doesn't care about the fact that he has been competing with us for Dress Up Key in the past."
With the key we got from you, as well as several other keys from everyone, we are getting closer and closer to our original goal.
"That's really great~" After looking at the girl's no longer stiff posture and Nanase Yui who was still cautious beside her, the man felt relieved. "Your dream is to become a great person who can help others, right? In fact, if you want to become stronger, you are welcome to come to me at any time, and I will definitely help you."
Just recently, I have begun to prepare to train Wei in all aspects, which is the so-called "maid training"! It would be interesting for you to join in.
"If necessary."
In order to protect the people around me and to the best of my ability, maybe there will be a time when I really need Ash-sensei's help?
"If you are still so concerned about our Shining, then does Ash care about your own affairs?"
"Who knows?"
After all, you suggested looking for my own "shine", and now I have no clue.
What I can gradually remember is that I was a "genius" but lived a completely boring and ordinary life until I was 12 years old. Who knows who I became after that.
However, to be respected and loved by so many people Black Night Kingdom, I must have been loved by many people for a long time, hahaha——
But what if it's not?
"Who knows."
Ash is enjoying a pleasant time with "Princesss" and "maids", but there is one Princess who is vaguely excluded now, no, has no intention of coming in at all.
"..."
Kirara still hated Ash from the bottom of his heart, but now his expression felt a little more aggrieved.
"Well..."
