"I'm asking you yourself." Putting away his joking expression, Ash also faced her seriously. "Do you think this is okay?"
"I just wanted to say something that could help her."
Even if she felt stupid, Haruka would not regret it, she vaguely felt.
If we really want everyone's dreams... the happiness of everyone involved to bloom, we must not leave her out, right?
"Twilight."
Hearing the familiar voice behind her, the girl who was still rubbing her eyes was surprised at first, and then she seemed to be planning to leave the place without looking back. This aroused Ash's curiosity.
Hey~ Very few of the people I, Ash, want to catch up with can successfully run away, but don't underestimate my foot strength, which is three times that of an ordinary person!
She doesn't want Ash to catch up with her, and she doesn't want the people she cares about to see her face when she's embarrassed. Even the conscious girl who is prepared to distance herself deliberately doesn't care.
But Ash seemed to have no regard for her. The more she wanted to run out faster, the more Ash followed her closer and closer like a follower.
Just a little bit - think about other people's moods!
It's so ugly to run away like this! It's obviously not enough Princess, can't you see?!
"Why are you chasing me!"
"Because you've been running away, how could I let you escape?"
"I didn't run away! I wasn't afraid of anything!"
"Then you should stop!"
After hearing what the other party said, the girl, who was so tangled and twisted in her heart, simply continued to run without any care.
It's obviously not elegant or noble at all, and it's not Princess at all! But at this moment Twilight just doesn't want to stop.
So Ash simply stopped coddling her. With a kick, he turned into a black shadow in mid-air and flew towards the dark Miss Princess.
"Uh-ah!"
"Tch, let me put in so much effort."
In order to prevent her from struggling, the man riding on the girl's waist interlocked his fingers with hers, forcing her under him in a way that looked extremely unsightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Master Princess is tired of playing with Ash. Are you planning to get rid of me?"
"No, but -" Twilight, who turned his face to the side and wanted to explain but couldn't, could only hold back such unwilling words from his throat. "I lost to those fake Princess..."
No matter how hard she tried to hide it, the girl's tears finally fell to the ground from the corner of her eyes.
The unwillingness, the humiliation, the sadness of having something important taken away from you just after gaining joy... and the inexplicable and strange feeling you feel when your enemy lends a helping hand.
What on earth is this!
I obviously just came to earth to find Pretty Cure's weakness in the power of "love"! Why did we encounter this series of completely unreasonable things?
Why——
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the man who was smiling but not smiling. After just a glance, she closed her eyes tightly again.
Why do I fall into "love" instead?
It's all this man anyway! It's all Ash's fault! I will become nothing like Princess and it will be all his fault - in this case I simply never see him again -
"If you keep doing this, your face will look ugly."
The man's fingers gently wiped away the traces of her tears.
"When no one else is around, you can act coquettishly to me, anytime."
"I promise you I won't tell anyone else."
Gently hugging the silver-haired girl who jumped into his arms, Ash also hugged her and quietly suppressed the dull cries as the feeling of dampness and heat came from her chest.
Chapter 107: Engagement? Marriage!
"Uh huh..."
Even his own mother, Twilight, who has a stronger nature, would never want her to see her embarrassing side.
But only at this moment, after hearing such "gentle" words from Ash, she quickly defeated her bottom line of defense at a speed that even she could not bear.
I'm getting weird! It has become so embarrassing that it is no longer as beautiful as Princess. This is all your fault!
"You are responsible..."
It's all your fault! I became so weak... I became like someone other than myself!
"Of course, I will be responsible to the end."
From Princess to Queen, how could I not be responsible for you? It's just that there are only a few people I have to be responsible for.
Feeling the emotion pouring from the other party, Ash gently patted the girl's back and soothed her slight trembling with impeccable techniques.
Don't think Ash is a barbarian just by looking at his roughness in battle. As King, who rules thousands of elves (even though they are dead), Ash's petting skills are superb. Being able to quickly find the comfortable G-spot of small animals by just touching is a natural skill!
That being said, I will have to trick the little dog and Kotori bird from Haruka and the others next time. I haven't even petted these two so fluffy, so how could I bear it?
"Why would I lose..."
"There is no reason in this world that a fake will definitely lose to a genuine one." Feeling that the other person's favorability window and sincerity were completely open to her, Ash also responded to her "very raw" "love" with sincere devotion. "But what if you lose? Does it mean that if you lose once, you are no longer Princess?"
"..."
Twilight was anxious at that time. She wanted to deny Yao's statement no matter what. After all...
If you do that, wouldn't I, the naturally noble Princess, become a joke? But judging from the result, it was Twilight's selfish idea that failed.
So, am I really wrong?
"Wouldn't it be nice to win it back later? Since you take being noble and powerful as your Princess creed, there's no reason why you would show weakness in a place like this, right?"
What you said... makes sense.
In the eyes of Twilight, every word and action of Ash now seems to have been put on some kind of filter that did not have extraordinary charm before. It seems that he is the real him.
"Cheer up, what I like is the light you show when you are noble and confident."
"No, you don't need to say it!"
Twilight, who regained her composure from her weakness, quickly pushed away a small distance from Ash in front of her with flushed cheeks. At the same time, she carefully arranged her long and messy hair again and thought of another thing.
"Why aren't you with those Pretty Cures?"
After all, I lost at that time... Why did you come back?
"Oh, they and I are actually just friends. You were too excited and misunderstood at the time."
Well, they are just destined to be my "friends", Queen~ Even they won't refute this!
"Yes, that's right."
After listening to Ash's explanation, Twilight suddenly had the courage to have a flat chest again - she could do it again!
Haha, Pretty Cure's are just a bunch of little girls after all, how can they possibly compete with me, the real Princess's position in Ash's heart! I am indeed the only one!
"However, this is what they expected."
"Ash... I want to ask you a question."
Listening to Ash's words, Twilight naturally thought of another pink Precure who took the initiative to lend a helping hand to her.
"Why, we are obviously enemies of each other. Hope and despair only need to destroy each other."
"Why do we need to understand each other?"
"Well..."
After listening to Twilight's question, Ash gave his answer after pondering for a while.
"Probably, because she's stupid."
"Pfft——" Twilight couldn't help laughing when he heard this word.
"It's precisely because she is an idiot who is too straightforward that people can't help but want to believe her."
Even Ash would want to believe this kind of thing.
"Idiot?"
Although I thought that the other party did this because he felt pity for me at the time, when I thought about it later, I overturned my previous thoughts. Twilight didn't really dislike the pink Precure.
In this case.
Do you want to choose to believe it?
"This is?"
Twilight, who returned from the defeat, put aside the care of the licking dog, and even temporarily put aside the inquiries from her mother. When she was relaxing alone in the dark country full of despair, she unexpectedly found an existence that surprised her.
Originally belonging to the deep underground of the Hope Kingdom castle, she was inexplicably familiar with the terrain. After stumbling to a hidden treasure pavilion, she was also stunned when she looked at the bottle of "Princess Perfume" placed on the altar.
"Pretty Cure's transformation props?"
Why is there only three bottles here?
She took it without any hindrance and played with it lightly. At this moment, she remembered something again, so she quickly took out the Dress Up Key from her pocket.
yes!
A proud smile appeared on her face and heart at the same time.
Pretty Cure's source of power, I now have it all! In this case, there is no reason for me to be weaker than them!
"If we have this this time, we will definitely not lose!"
Twilight, who got the new treasure, ran towards the throne room on the other side with joy. She couldn't wait to share this mood with her most important mother.
Then she heard a decree that she never expected.
"Marriage?!"
"Yes, Twilight."
Turning his fingers lightly, the lines drawn by Witch of Despair Dyspear in mid-air were exactly what "Dark Kiva" looked like.
Half-kneeling on the ground in front of him, holding the perfume bottle tightly, Twilight looked up at this "bat weirdo" wrapped in gothic style in disbelief, and was almost stunned.
"I hope you can marry this Black Night King, so that our attitude towards the Black Night Kingdom will be closer."
After thinking about it, I really can't let such a powerful force waver between them and Pretty Cure. Now that Twilight is also back... That's just right!
I know that he is a passionate lover who likes Princess, so that's why he messes around with those Pretty Cure, right? He even helped them.
If that's the case, how about doing what he likes?
"Twilight."
"I want you to win him over!"
Chapter 108: Got dumped!
If it was Twilight who had no idea about love before, and knew that the marriage partner was a "king" who was not inferior to him in status, he would probably have agreed without any hesitation.
But now, I think about what I have just realized, how happy I have been, how sad I have been, and everything I have experienced, especially when I think about Ash's face.
Twilight's mood is extremely complicated.
"Does it have to be like this... Mother?"
I... just found someone I like.
I just found such a different way to be "happy".
