"We... aren't we exaggerating a bit?"
Holding the little dome hat in her arms, Akane Hino, who was limping around without knowing where to go, squatted on the ground. The flush on her face was still panting, and she didn't know whether she was tired or still ashamed.
Obviously when I usually tell jokes to everyone, even if I accidentally make a fool of myself, I will laugh with everyone. Why is it that if I feel a little shy at this time, my legs will run away uncontrollably.
"It's because... it's because..."
After thinking about it, the only difference between their past and present selves is that there is an extra Ash.
"Because we really do like him..."
Especially knowing that he is still with so many Pretty Cure... What is his name? Playing songs every night?! In short, after all this, would he still care so much about me, who has no outstanding appearance and a rather straightforward temperament, not as soft as other children?
"But, look at his appearance..."
Although she was so embarrassed that she ran away again, at least she saw those eyes of approval at the end.
"It should be a success, right? Huhu~"
It will never be forgotten again... As long as I think of this, all the grievances I have endured will turn into joy and I can't help but express it.
Okay, the venting is over. Akane, be stronger! We have to help find the others quickly, but we can't embarrass our Pretty Cure face in front of others!
"This way, this way, that guy is right here!"
Listening to the call that sounded like a guard coming from outside, she sensed an ominous atmosphere. Qian quickly jumped out of the green love studio and returned to reality. She leaned against the wall with only a pair of cautious eyes peeking at the changes in the atmosphere.
Could it be that they saw through us and came to arrest us? No, if this is the case, Ash must have started a commotion already!
Looking outside with her dripping eyes, she saw the assembled guards trotting past her hiding place on the road that these fairy tale residents had given way to, aiming directly in another direction not far away.
"Aren't you here to find me?"
Akane breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved, but the worry that followed brought her heart back up again.
To be honest, although the various residents living in this Fairy Tale Kingdom are still full of laughter, she always feels that there is an inexplicable depressive atmosphere buried in the world. She believes that she is not the only one who has similar premonitions!
"Obviously we managed to help Tangtang and Royal Queen defeat Piero and revive Fairy Tale Kingdom with great difficulty."
If it changes back to how it was before... then she will be the first to refuse!
But it's strange to say that even if Fairy Tale Kingdom encounters another incident and needs to be locked down, why will we, Pretty Cure, be locked up too...
"Although it is also because of this that we can meet Ash...!"
While she was complaining, Akane suddenly opened her eyes with bated breath, not for any other reason but because she saw it!
"Found it!"
See the subject who is still struggling after being caught by the guards. Is it her?
"Reika?!"
Why did Reika appear here, and why was he still arrested?
Chapter 91 The bad influence on the little girl... is immeasurable!
This is strange to say. The five people from Smile Pretty Cure came here with great expectations after receiving the invitation letter from the Fairy Tale Kingdom.
Then, facing the invitation of thanks from the royal family, Miyuki and Reika, who missed their companion "Tangtang", first chose to respond. Akane, Nao, Yayoi and the others said that they wanted to have some fun in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, which they hadn't had enough of last time, and they would follow later.
But what they didn't expect was that Miyuki and Reika were cut off from this place, and the road back to Seven-Colored Hill was also inexplicably cut off. While the three of them were worrying, the straight position suddenly changed into Ash, and then that's what happened until now.
"Finally found it! The thief who broke into the castle and planned to escape was dressed like this. Is he trying to hide it?!"
"Let me go!"
Reika seems to be struggling to explain something to the elf guards, but now the girl who has not transformed but is wearing a cherry pink kimono is obviously unable to struggle away and can only be taken away.
"You are all deceived! The real Tangtang would not issue such an order to block Fairy Tale Kingdom. We are here to help you!"
"You're still making excuses, take him away!"
"..."
For Akane, it was a choice that she didn't even need to doubt whether her friend might have done something bad. He threw the wand in his hand, which was just a cosplay prop, to the ground, and the makeup box he held in his other hand was the real transformation prop.
"Reika, we are here to save you! Precure Smile Char——!"
At the moment when "Sakura" was about to transform into Pretty Cure to realize the cross-border linkage, she felt that something hard was inserted into her open mouth, pressing hard against her numb gums, blocking her last word "Charge".
"Uh-oh!"
What is this? It's so salty!
"Shh~"
And the person who directly blocked Qian's throat from behind and whispered her back to the darkness was naturally Ash.
"Don't you realize? This is your chance, Akane. If you take action now, all your efforts will be wasted."
Ignoring the murmurs in her arms, Ash felt the stickiness protesting between her fingers, so in order to make her quieter, she continued to stir her fingers and play hide and seek with something more flexible inside.
"Now it seems that Reika has been taken away, but wouldn't she be able to help us reveal some clues - hiss!"
No, you really bite it?
When he looked down again... his misty eyes were filled with all kinds of anger, aggrieved and even ashamed, and a little unclear. Akane stared as if she was being stimulated and refused to let go. In today's place where a man and a woman are alone, it is really impossible not to have bad associations.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
Either perish in silence or explode in silence. Akane obviously belonged to the latter, so she took the first step and rushed towards Ash.
So a strange scene took place in this deserted alley. The magical girl actually rode on Kamen Rider, grabbing him and "biting" him as if to vent her anger. The scene became a bit flirtatious for a while, which is not suitable for children.
"Hey, hey, Pretty Cure, who doesn't pay attention to his image, has an immeasurable impact on little girls."
"What are you talking about that ruined the impression of Kamen Rider justice in boys' minds from the very beginning?"
Anyone else, even Piero, can do it, but you, the guy who will have sexual desire for Pretty Cure, are not qualified to say it!
"So they say Kamen Rider has never been a partner of justice... Well, I was wrong."
Ash, who was the first to make sense of her mistake and throw up her hands to admit defeat, finally picked up the wand on the ground and put it in her hand, then took it down from Akane who was about to hold her head and start chewing it.
"Hmph!"
No matter when, Ash really doesn't understand girls' hearts...
Turning her head and carrying Ash behind her back, Qian could only bury her dissatisfaction in her heart, thinking that one day she would take revenge on this guy!
That's right, there are more and more Pretty Cures now. If only we Smile Pretty Cures could also gather together... In short, the prototype of a plan gradually emerged in Qian's mind.
"But is it okay to let Reika be captured by the guards like this?"
Also, you are so embarrassed to say that you want someone else's good friend to be your bait!
"I wouldn't be worried if it was somewhere else, but who told this place to be Fairy Tale Kingdom?"
It seems that as Pretty Cure, you don't know as much as I do. Ash, who was wagging his fingers and couldn't help but "tsk~", felt very angry when hearing this from Akane.
"Fairy tales for children don't include the birth storyline of torturing captives. At most, they only allow her to eat pork chops."
However, Reika likes light food and is concerned about her figure. If she really wants to eat pork chop rice, it might be really bad for her.
"Hoo~"
Hearing what Ash said, Qian finally relaxed with a sigh of relief.
"Then let's quickly bring Yayoi and catch up together!"
"Yayoi has already gone ahead and went to the prison to ask for information."
"So fast!"
Ever since she became a cartoonist, Akane always felt that the mobility of the former crybaby Yayoi had skyrocketed, and the corresponding moral integrity had plummeted.
After turning left and right through the streets and alleys, the two finally came to the side building of the palace and castle. The only place that was always covered by dark clouds and lifeless was in front of the building that fit the stereotype of a prison.
A pair of eyes looked up and down at all the doors, doors and windows of this prison, and Akane, who licked her lips, became interested.
I have seen this episode in a movie. The next two of us have to follow the prison guards and rescue the bound Princess in time before he is discovered. Thinking about it this way, it is really tense and exciting——
"Qian, what are you still doing in a daze?"
"Oh!"
Akane responded and quickly wanted to follow, but she was completely stunned when she saw Ash in front of her. She asked with a trembling finger on her outstretched finger.
"You, where are you going?"
"Of course, take the main entrance."
Ash greeted the prison gatekeeper completely as a matter of course, and successfully completed the notice in the girl's surprised and confused eyes, and the door opened in front of them.
"What are you surprised about?"
"I am Kamen Rider, and you are a magical girl. We are both partners of justice. When you hear that there is a culprit in such a major case, isn't it natural to rush to investigate with nervousness and concern?"
"..."
Someone said before that Kamen Rider has never been a partner of justice... Shouldn't the double standard be too obvious!
Chapter 92 Reika wants to act coquettishly.
"There is a saying that the true shortcut is the long way around."
"But whether it's a shortcut or a long detour, sometimes the real answer may lie on the right path that people are walking on."
Akane, who was following Ash, finally understood. Ash is a riddler when he is a bad guy. When he is a good guy, he talks about literate and famous sayings. What they have in common is that he doesn't speak well!
"How much do men like to act cool..."
The sighing girl raised the brim of her hat and turned the wand out of the flower with her other hand. She continued to scan the prison aimlessly with her eyes. Looking at the basically empty prisons, I can only say that Fairy Tale Kingdom's prison is more decorative than practical. I didn't expect that the first prisoner today is actually Pretty Cure's... Well, I seem to have heard this story from the deeds Reika told us.
"But I heard what Reika said when he was arrested. Could it be that someone from a higher position actually influenced Tangtang, and even Fairy Tale Kingdom as a whole..."
For this reason, they chose to imprison us Pretty Cure, not allowing others to come in and not allowing us to ask for help...
While Akane was having a series of miscellaneous thoughts, Ash's eyes fell on the wand that was spinning in her hand. It seems that she also likes it very much, but she just doesn't want to admit it. Ash can't help but joke about it.
"What's wrong? At first, you just said you were trying to get through it, but in the end, you had more fun. What's going on?"
"This is not for fun anymore..."
The pouty mouth couldn't help but turn to the side, and Qian asked in her heart, "Who do you think this is for?"
Actually, I'm not that confident in myself, so...
"Ash, to you we are..."
"He's the person I like."
Before Akane could finish asking her worries, Ash gave the answer first.
"Do you still remember that rainy day, when I was so bullied by Mirai that I lost my mind and could attack you at any time? But you were the first to stand up and turned your back to me without hesitation, saying that you wanted to protect me."
Qian, who didn't expect that Ash would suddenly mention this matter, was confused for a moment, but she was even more surprised. He actually... still remembers it!
"I just, just subconsciously felt that I was going to do what I should do!"
Because the enemy Gagu faced at that time was Ash who risked his life to defeat the enemy. Even if there is a deviation due to this, if I don't believe Ash because of this... then I can't do it!
"If it were the former Ash who wanted to protect me, I would have thought it was arrogant. But at that time, Akane was really shining brightly."
Even a rainy night can't extinguish the flame of passion. I can't forget it no matter what.
"If you want to say when I fell in love with you... it was that time."
The footsteps inexplicably accelerated, and Ash, who passed Akane like a gust of wind, walked towards Reika's cell first.
"..."
Akane, who was stunned, held up her face, which was getting hotter, and felt with her fingers the curve of the corners of her mouth that could not be smoothed out no matter how much she stroked it. Then she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Pfft~heeheehee~"
Happy, even if you want to be a little more reserved, you can't! Because we are really happy now!
Yayoi, who appeared from the corner ahead like a ghost, glanced at Akane, then followed Ash with a devilish smile.
"What about Onii-sama's victory again?"
