"Ash~"
The marriage certificate was handed in front of me again, and it was impossible to escape this time.
"It needs to be signed."
Do you really like us?
"Still not signing?"
Or is it just lip service?
"Well, of course it is..."
"Hmm~?"
This is the ending.
Okay, okay, what happens next?
Ash finally signed.
Otherwise, would Ash continue to escape? If you like someone, you have to be responsible to the end. Otherwise, if they do Pretty Cure, they will try their best to help you and save you. If you steal their heart and then talk vaguely, will you delay that good girl for the rest of her life?
"There are many more here."
Arisu, who was talking like Doraemon, took out a large stack of files from his pocket, each of which was a stamped and completed version.
"I have written in advance the names of all the people I met last time, but considering that Ash may have met many new friends, there are still a lot of redundant names."
"No... it's not that many."
Seeing the stack of files that were almost as thick as those on Kamen Rider's waist, cold sweat dropped from Ash's forehead.
"I'm not a stud after all."
What's more, I'm still a child... Is this excuse still valid now?
"You have to hand it over to those children with your own hands and express your love to them. Love without response will wither."
Listening to Arisu's sincere advice, how could Ash not know that the person she was talking about was herself? Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it is an indisputable fact that I have taken advantage of the other person's feelings.
"I understand. I will come to marry you after this battle... It's better not to say this."
Because it is too classic, some deliberate flags should not be inserted here.
"In the words of Yuko..."
"I can hear Ash would love to admit it."
Yuko, who solemnly put away his certificate, stared into Ash's eyes and asked, "But has Ash seen Hui and the others? If so, then Hui..."
"I will personally make up for the mistakes I made."
Whether it is now, before, or even longer ago!
"Well, I believe you."
After letting the two people talk about their emotions, it was finally Ash's turn to ask them these questions that they had to worry about.
"Where is this?"
The scene of ruins all around is obviously not your own world, right?
"I don't know."
Yuko shook his head helplessly.
"Where's everyone?"
Of course, the biggest problem of being separated from Mana and the others is also what Ash is most concerned about.
"I don't know."
Arisu also shook his head in silence.
Isn't there no clue at all? Ash, who had given up hope, could only ask the last question.
"Why are you here?"
Didn't it mean that Ashu's remaining strength could no longer bear the cost of bringing more people, so he only brought ten people?
"Damn it! I thought I succeeded. Is this another trick by the enemy?!"
"Ash, calm down."
The hands on the young man's shoulders conveyed the power of Arisu. In fact, it was the same as the former. They also left their hometowns and came here to some extent, so they could understand the mood of Ash.
"We don't know what we don't know, but!"
From the other hand, the optimism belonging to Yuko made Ash calm down again.
"We will tell Ash everything we know."
So, from the beginning when Aguri got the ticket, to the constant encounters with Ash after ToQ Train came from the imagination, with Yuko's supplement, Arisu relayed the whole story to Ash.
——Here are the memories of almost 20 episodes——
"That's it."
After hearing the ins and outs of the story, Ash also slapped his thigh and exclaimed. He didn't expect that there was someone with this skill.
He had only revealed some of his homesickness to them before, and at most it was an occasional complaint. Even he forgot about it afterwards. Unexpectedly, someone didn't forget it and actually helped find his world until the end. This love finally sent Arisu and the others over.
"Imagination~ Is this also part of your winning imagination? Come and fight?"
Now, I can see this ToQ Train with my eyes again.
Are you still fighting now? You are obviously just a child... Don't die, because we are coming!
Chapter 95: Please, Pretty Cure!
"It's just that I clearly promised to surprise Ash with everyone... What a pity!"
He had obviously rehearsed the script, but he felt very regretful that the incident of being separated from everyone did not come to fruition. Yuko also showed a rare sadness when he recalled what had happened before.
"It was obviously hard to get back together, but we didn't expect that we suddenly encountered an accident."
"If you really do this, I really don't know whether to be surprised or frightened."
Thinking of how hard it had been for the ten people Mana to maintain a harmonious relationship, the thought of so many people coming again made me want to wipe the non-existent sweat on my forehead.
"But I kind of understand what's going on."
He patted Yuko on the shoulder, and Ash, who said the famous line, seemed to have returned to his extremely reliable state in the past, no! He is more reliable now than ever before!
"Now take me to the place where you were separated."
According to what Yuko said, although they had "quarreled" a lot along the way, they were Pretty Cure and not Decepticons. At least they always maintained the status of being gentlemen with words but no actions. As a result, they encountered an inexplicable sudden impact when they were about to arrive. The entire ToQ Train derailed on the spot. If not for everyone as passengers, they would have died on the spot and become Kaz's companions.
Obviously, they probably became the "victims" of the giant beast. If the giant beast hadn't been attracted by Ash at that time and had no time to care about them, the people who crashed in the car may not even be able to escape successfully.
But does this have any special relationship? This is the second time Pretty Cure has crashed due to coming to this world.
"After that, we saw that the world in front of us seemed to be torn apart."
Arisu gestured to describe Ash as closely as possible.
"Even the Earth was almost mistaken by us as having many clones of our brothers."
"You may not be mistaken."
The scene of the nine worlds connected and fused that I had seen in Hikari Studio appeared in Ash's mind again.
"I saw it, it's right here!"
Seeing the ToQ Train lying in the ruins, part of Ash's memory quickly won the resurrection match.
"It is indeed the real thing."
Although according to the testimonies of the girls, the conductor who liked ventriloquism and Wagon who had a nice voice were missing, the interior furnishings were exactly the same as the scenes in Ash's memory. Going deeper into the mechanical structure inside, Ash even found a huge metal face, which was the head of "ToQ-Oh".
"Even the combined parts of the robot were given away for me."
Recalling everyone's hobbies and thinking about what gifts to give them in return, Ash was walking in the car when his foot staggered as if he stepped on something. When he lowered his head and saw the owner, he silently took it into his hand.
"Does this mean... please please me?"
"Ash!"
Yuko, who rushed over excitedly pushing a bento cart, almost startled Ash, who was still deep in thought.
"Ash Ash! The bento boxes here are not expired yet, and there is a note on them saying that they can be eaten for free by anyone who sees them!"
"Really?"
Seeing Yuko who had already stuffed his mouth with bento, Ash immediately thought whose trick it was.
"Then enjoy it."
"No, you still have to keep the money."
So I want to borrow money from Ash.
"Ash, what on earth is going on?"
Before, it was Ash who inquired about their situation, but at this moment, the situation changed. Arisu, who was worried about their companions, had to learn about their companions' whereabouts from Ash.
"As for the money, please let me pay. Yuko Please give me a bottle of black tea... Don't you have any? Then green tea."
"This matter started when you had a traffic accident."
Sitting by the window, looking out at the lifeless world that was obviously left behind after a great war, Ash was looking for traces on it that he might recognize.
"At that time, we were fighting a powerful enemy and used its power to dismantle the Closed Gear that sealed our world."
"But I didn't expect it to be able to escape so quickly. Afterwards, I am afraid that its power and my observation device had some unexpected quantum entanglement reaction that the author does not understand, which affected the continuity of space and time."
"?"
"I'm afraid that my world now overlaps with other observed worlds."
Ash and Arisu chuckled lightly and made an easy-to-understand analogy.
"Do you remember the Dark Field I deployed when I bullied you before? Just think that there are many similar worlds opening up in places that ordinary people can't see."
Originally, he lacked the means to travel to other worlds, but now he is really getting what he wants!
"Is this what you mean?"
Listening to Ash's words, Arisu and Yuko saw some kind of knowing color in each other's eyes.
"Yes, Makoto and Iona on your side, and Mana and Megumi on my side, were probably scattered to different worlds during this overlap, but don't worry, I can find a partner."
"Great, I finally found everyone!!"
But unlike the two people who clapped and cheered in optimism, Ash, whose eyes finally found something familiar in the outside world, could not bear to close his eyes.
The remains of the robot lying upside down on the ground outside had been torn into pieces that were almost unrecognizable, but even so, the body it left behind still seemed to be protecting it until the last moment...
You have really fought hard, you guys.
Next, let me take over your battle.
"I checked and found out that the Imagination Engine of this fierce car is fine. I just need to pat it and it can be restarted."
Standing in front of the main console and quickly inputting the most likely world coordinates from earlier observations, Ash continued.
"I have a way to leave alone, so splitting up is the most efficient. Then you can follow the route I entered to find Makoto and the others..."
Wait.
Arisu They overcame all difficulties and finally found me. As a result, not only did I fail to give them time to reunite, but now I kept finding new jobs and giving them instructions without even taking a break. Isn't this just dumping people after taking advantage of them?
"Ash!"
The calling name woke him up, and after returning to business, the seriousness on their faces was no less serious than that of Ash.
"Your wish is also our wish!"
Of course we also want to find our lost companions, not to mention that even without you, we can't remain indifferent when seeing this kind of thing!
We "Precure" are supposed to save the world!
