A little too naive for a villain, right? Or should I praise you for your excellent purity as a villain in Zi Gongxiang~?
"Why do you want to attack Shut?"
"Because he hindered me and made me unhappy." Catherine, with a smile on his face, spoke casually, as if he was talking about what snacks he had before lunch today. "So if you kill me, don't you think it fits your imagination of the chaotic evil camp?"
Hearing this, Dyspear narrowed his eyes slightly. There were many doubts about Shut's death. For example, it was clear that he, as his last subordinate, would not be abandoned by him, and he should have thought about this, but in the end, he was still worrying about himself... Is it, is it the power related to manipulating people's hearts?
"Catherine, your ability is of no use to me." The atmosphere as he spoke became extremely heavy for a moment. This was a naked threat from Dyspear.
Unlike others, as Witch of Despair, I have no heart. Don't think that even I can be involved in the scheme!
"Catherine, you said you want to be a witch like me, but we are just a cooperative relationship, but there is no bond of trust."
If you want to fall out so much, I will make it happen for you now.
Ya: "Okay, okay, it's too awkward to call me by name now." Unexpectedly, at such a dangerous moment about to explode, it was Catherine who took the initiative to take a step back. "We are facing a powerful enemy now. Do we still need to rely on your invincible power to deal with those Precures~?"
"If there is internal strife now, it will only make Pretty Cure laugh, although I don't care~"
"Hmph, too."
Anyway, the overall layout is still on the right track for Dyspear. If you still want to pretend to be stupid, then continue to deal with those Pretty Cure driven by me. Let me settle these accounts with you after I have captured their hope!
Thinking of this, the witch showed a proud smile.
"Then we'll quit here too."
"Go on, you go and defeat Pretty Cure and Kamen Rider!" Now that she has lost trust, she won't feel bad even if the other party is defeated by the enemy. It's better to say that this is just right!
"Of course."
Seeing the witch's smile, Catherine also smiled.
I will do such a simple thing, but not for you.
"You are right, Witch-sama."
In a voice that only he could hear, Catherine whispered.
"We just have a cooperative relationship."
In this case, I don't need to promise you anything, right?
"Then, the next plot is... it's time to meet my good friend."
City of Fire, City of the Sea, plus City of Stars that Kirara just unlocked, now they have been liberated to the third castle.
When Dress Up Key released Gate of Despair that sealed the castle, the light cast by the castle that once again bloomed with hope shone over the kingdom. Now there are three different lights gathering here at the same time.
In front of these lights, the decayed and withered vines retreated, and the dark miasma that filled the entire world dissipated. Even the dark clouds that had always been covering the top of the head also revealed the sunlight that had been blocked behind them. Judging from the signs that the power of despair is gradually fading, they are indeed on the right path.
"Great, this frees another castle." Standing under the light, the girls were overjoyed. "The only thing left is the last Flower City, and we can liberate Hope Kingdom!"
"But will it really go so smoothly?"
Compared with the happy girl beside him, Ash, who was deep in thought, seemed out of place, because no matter how he thought about it, he felt that there must be something fishy in it.
Although there were indeed many Fortress of Despairs blocking the way, in general they were all speed-run by the Pretty Cures, and they managed to break through without causing any trouble at all.
If he were the boss of Dysdark, he would not be able to take it lightly when faced with a mechanism like the Four Castles that needs to be guarded. But the fact is that they really broke through here easily in one morning. To be honest, if Ash hadn't stopped and stopped along the way to ensure absolute safety, they would have unlocked all the progress of the four castles by now.
"Is there really no problem?"
It's suspicious, no matter how you look at it, it's suspicious! But no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find anything suspicious.
"Ash, we are happily saving the world all the way. Isn't this great?"
It's not that the girls don't understand his thoughts, it's just that at this time, they hope that Ash's thoughts will be more relaxed.
It's not that I blame Ash for thinking too much, it's just that they understand this truth better.
"It's just that it's a pity to think about it."
The opportunity to win is right in front of him. Towa can't help but look forward to the story that will follow. There is also a sense of regret in it.
"After defeating Dyspear, it will be our final time as Princess Pretty Cure."
Their sincere hearts have no intention of using this power elsewhere. In this case, this is probably their final transformation and battle.
Thinking of this, the girls felt unexpectedly sad.
Chapter 187 Fanfare·The Queen's Awakening
When Towa said this, no one realized it. Now that they think about it, they all feel a little regretful.
"Princess Perfume and Dress Up Key are Hope Kingdom's things after all, and they will be returned later." Nan said regretfully but not reluctantly. "But we also gained irreplaceable memories."
"This is also the last time I wear such a beautiful dress. I will definitely miss this time in the future." Holding up her fluffy hair on both sides, the moment of reluctance certainly wouldn't let Kirara stop moving forward. "But I have already shined more and more on this stage, not to mention that I have also found a stage that I want to have even more."
"Haha, if everyone misses it like this, then at the banquet after defeating Dyspear, we must-ah!"
"Hmph!" Withdrawing the finger that hit Towa's head, Ash snorted dissatisfied. "Your behavior of popping champagne at halftime is a flag that only a half-hearted guy would set."
"But, if Ash is always by our side, there's nothing to be afraid of, right?"
"Ha, that's quite true."
Hearing Ash's compliments on his manners and customs made him feel proud. What I have to say is that Towa has really mastered the key to communicating with Ash.
"You also said that we opened the champagne at halftime. Obviously the person with the least sense of crisis has always been Ash, right?"
Complaints are complaints, everyone called Kanata together, and studied the map he brought when he came.
Now that we have arrived, it is naturally the turn of the last castle.
"The last one is Flower City who needs Haruka's flower key to be liberated, huh...?" Kanata, who was acting as the commentator for Precure, noticed the absent-minded appearance of Haruka. "What's wrong Haruka, do you care?"
"I feel like I heard someone's voice? It seems like a voice asking for help?"
The voice was very familiar. Haruno Haruka listened carefully.
"Help, help me!"
"Who is this voice?"
The instinct of action is higher than the reaction of thinking. Haruka, who has always been an action person, was worried about the owner of this voice and was immediately ready to leave.
"I'll go take a look!"
"Haruka?"
Seeing the direction in which Yao was leaving, Kanata was stunned for a moment.
That direction happens to be the direction of the last Flower City?
"Everyone, together!"
Now that Haruka has taken action, others cannot remain indifferent, and Ash, who greeted everyone in this way, stepped on the ground.
"Ash——!"
A light from bottom to top enveloped him.
"?"
He released his defensive posture and looked at the perfect and unfamiliar world around him. A big question mark appeared above his head.
He had thought about it. If he were Dyspear, he would definitely set a trap for a sneak attack!
The enemy may find the right opportunity to target key figures such as Yao or Kirara. Of course, it is more likely that they will directly assassinate the prince Kanata to make them lose their direction.
But Ash thought about all the possibilities, but there was only one that he didn't expect.
"Their choice of target."
"It's actually me?"
As he chased in the direction of the sound, when he saw the red fire traveling through the darkness, Haruka felt his head buzz.
Isn't the person with a panic-stricken face being chased by Fortress of Despair Saya-classmate? Why does she appear here? How did she get here?
There are so many questions, but now is not the time to look for answers. With a loud shout, Yao rushed over and knocked these Fortress of Despair away with three punches and two kicks.
"Is it okay, Saya-classmate!"
"Hey, thank you." After seeing Haruka, Saya smiled and expressed her gratitude as if all the previous fears were gone. "If you hadn't come here, I really don't know how I would have done it."
"Saya-classmate." After confirming that she was fine, Yao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked the doubts in his heart. "Why are you at Dysdark? This place is obviously so dangerous...?"
"I don't know, compared to this!" Saya changed the topic and said to Yao with twinkling eyes as if offering a treasure. "I just discovered a castle over there that was sealed by Tengman. That castle occasionally shines with the same light as you, Haruka."
"Eh, really?!"
Isn't the object described by Saya the Flower Castle we are looking for? What a coincidence!
"Judging from your expression, it must be news that is very important to you, right? Then hurry up and get there!"
"Yeah!"
Yao nodded quickly and followed Saya's guidance to the other side of the trail. At the last moment, he looked back at the direction he came from.
Haven't you all caught up yet? So slow.
"It's true!"
After getting rid of the Fortress of Despair that blocked the road along the way, I stood in front of the last Flower Castle, not to mention how pleasantly surprised I was.
We have finally come to this point. Anyone who can liberate the last castle can save Hope Kingdom and fulfill Pretty Cure's responsibility!
"Thank you, Saya-classmate!"
"Yes, yes." Standing behind Yao, throwing "Seeds of Despair" in her hand high and then catching it steadily, the girl let out an intriguing laugh. "Go Pretty Cure, go change your world."
"Yes!" Focus on the castle in front of you, and focus all your light power on the Dress Up Key in your hand to liberate the last castle. "Let it bloom brilliantly—cough!"
When she was about to finish reciting the lines of the ceremony, her voice was suddenly interrupted by a hand covering her mouth and nose from behind, and the suffocating feeling from her throat made her cough subconsciously.
What is this? It's so spicy and bitter! Something was swallowed from my hand down my throat. It was so uncomfortable and I couldn't spit it out!
"Ahem! Saya——" Yao just called out his name as he hurriedly broke away, but as soon as he turned around, the figure of the other party had disappeared without a trace.
Could it be that I was attacked by Saya-classmate? But why, I don't understand!
There are more problems, and the biggest problem is that this extremely important ritual cannot be stopped now.
"Bloom in splendor, dazzling flowers!"
Anyway, let's end this first and then go find everyone.
When the girl finished reciting the predetermined lines and opened the seal with the key, her own power and the power of the castle came into contact with each other.
Four enamel-colored crescent marks emerged from Haruno Haruka's little face.
At the same time, a sudden burst of power like a spring penetrated her whole body, causing her to lose consciousness instantly.
"Well..."
I don't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes slightly, the first thing she saw was Kanata, who was riding towards her.
"Prince Kanata!" Yao immediately happily wanted to tell him the good news when he saw the person coming. "I finally liberated the fourth castle and saved Hope Kingdom——"
"You are——!" Kanata, who was shocked when he saw the incoming person, immediately pointed his staff at her. "What kind of monster are you?!"
Hey, I am Haruno Haruka, Cure Flora? What kind of monster are you talking about all of a sudden? Where are the monsters?
Afraid that there were other Fortress of Despair, Yao quickly looked around, but there were only two of her and Kanata here.
"I won't let you hinder Haruka and the others!" Kanata raised his scepter with an ugly expression and was about to launch a magic attack. "Watch the move!"
"Stop it, Kanata, it's me——!"
Haruka, who subconsciously raised his hand to block his face, saw it.
From the chess and rose emblems flashing "Queen" on the back of his hand, countless petals suddenly emerged, cutting Kanata's body into bruises in an instant.
"Ahhhh——!!!"
