Chapter 96 Ash From beginning to end, he is still the self-centered person.
"You are not allowed to pass!"
The same fluffy twin ponytails as when Miyuki was Cure Happy, as well as the simple yet graceful black dress on her body, make this purple-haired girl who is almost like a doppelganger of Miyuki look like Princess from a certain country, but such a "Princess" is now standing between the two with a fierce look on his face.
Not only was he treated like a boy, but an invisible force blocked the two parties along with the intervention of the voice. The two slender calves wrapped in purple pantyhose were pinned inwards to form an X shape. Together with the girl's whole body, she used all her strength to block the huge cage wall that was gradually solidified and formed from strength in front of everyone.
"Nicole, don't do this!"
"Miyuki, don't stop me! I've decided that I won't let this bastard touch a finger on you again!"
Seeing this, Miyuki wanted to give her some advice, but the girl with two ponytails called "Nicole" was arrogant and tough and chose to stick to her own opinion.
"What on earth did you do!"
Anyone in this situation can see that Miyuki and the lady they consider the "kidnapper" are obviously familiar with each other. So what is going on?
"You guys are not worthy of being her friends!"
"Then who are you!"
Hearing this, Akane, who had a stronger temper, couldn't bear to confront her immediately.
"It sounds amazing, but we are Miyuki's good friends!"
"Hmph, but I have been with Miyuki since she was a child."
Since Miyuki had no objection (forced) now, Nicole took the opportunity to explain it to her.
"Before I met you, I already knew Miyuki!"
Hey, so we and Ash are the latter? Real or fake?
"Then after Miyuki grew up for a long time, I thought I was forgotten."
In the low words, Nicole's emotions gradually trembled after being suppressed to the extreme.
"Until that time when she was in despair, she remembered me and chose to help. I was also very happy and thought that was all."
"But - but, I later learned that life after Miyuki was not good at all!"
Although Miyuki next to her was still hurriedly comforting her to calm down, Nicole was already in tears when she talked about this.
"Miyuki She is such a good person, why should she suffer like this!"
And all this! It's all because of you! It's all because of you——
"Miyuki, are you okay here?"
She completely turned a blind eye to the cage wall in front of her and the accusations from the other side, but Ash just stood in the right place not too far away and asked questions through the wall to care about her situation.
"I'm fine, and I'm dressed up so beautifully."
Miyuki, who is holding this Princess skirt, spins around in circles as if she wants to "show off" to Ash.
"Just as you know, I originally wanted to catch up with a good friend I haven't seen for a long time, but in the end... hehe~"
In the end, I was left behind by my friend, which was so embarrassing, haha~ Fortunately, Ash, you helped me out.
Of course, Nicole never thought of hurting her. Rather, in her opinion, he was basically saving her from being "harmed" by Ash!
So it sounded like the two of them were just chatting about family matters, as if they didn't pay attention to the current situation at all. Nicole next to him couldn't bear it anymore and asked Miyuki.
"Miyuki, why do you like him?"
It was the same when she was alone with Miyuki before. No matter how many times she told her about this person's problems and bad words, Miyuki still responded with a smile. Why?
"Well..."
Looking at this childhood sweetheart, he was completely puzzled. After some thinking, he couldn't think of anything, so Miyuki finally said it directly in a calm tone.
"Because Ash needs someone to like."
"..."
"And I also want to like him."
"."
"So because I like him, I love him too."
Some feelings don't need to be described in actual clear words, but they are definitely there.
As for shortcomings and so on... If you like someone, you should also like their bad parts, right?
"?"
I can't understand it, I can't understand it. So——
"This is all your fault!"
"It's all because of your Miyuki! The originally pure Miyuki has become like this now, always having strange thoughts!"
The target turned to Ash, and Nicole, who was full of anger, opened his mouth like a barrage of fire.
"It's not just Pretty Cure. When Miyuki expressed kindness to you at the beginning, you turned to attack her!"
Obviously she has brought you so much hope and help, but you have brought him only pain and despair!
"After that, it was all because of your Miyuki that you were targeted! You suffered such huge injuries that almost killed you! You also fell into despair in the end. If it weren't for her hope——"
"You're right."
To everyone's surprise, Ash didn't even refute these, but just calmly agreed.
If it was Ash who unreasonably wanted to take the blame for him, he would naturally deny it, but if it really happened, Ash would no longer deny it as if it had happened.
"It is true that Miyuki suffered such pain because of my appearance."
What happened will not disappear just by pretending it didn't exist, so Ash naturally chose to face it.
"If you know this, why are you still here?"
Just leave like this and don't come close to her again and let this hurt come back to you!
"I can't do it because I love her too and I can't imagine her leaving me."
After shaking his head, Ash inserted his hands into the gap in the cage wall in front of him, and in the eyes of Nicole's disbelief, he actually started to use his bare hands to grab it to the left and right!
"Nicole, you are wrong. Not everything is painful."
Just when the girl was feeling overwhelmed, Miyuki next to her also complained to her friends.
"It is precisely because I met Ash that I can have this unparalleled past memory with him and everyone!"
Even if it contains pain and difficulties, it is my past that makes me smile when I think about it!
"And if this pain still exists, I will use my actual actions to heal it."
Every time Nicole took an incredible step back, Ash, who tore through the obstruction with his bare hands, would take another step closer. Until she was unable to retreat, until Ash, who looked serious, would crush the remains of the cage made of dark energy into the palm of his hand.
"Whether you want to say that I'm a scumbag in a harem, or that I've brought disaster to Pretty Cure. Now that I'm bound to them, I don't intend to change what I'm doing or what I'm going to do."
So whether you are a friend of Miyuki or a stranger, it is your business to criticize and evaluate as much as you want.
It's up to them to choose how to treat me, I don't, and you are not qualified to decide for her!
"That is to do our best to save all the worlds and make them feel sincere happiness!"
Because I am Ash, and I am still the self-centered person who only does what I want to do from beginning to end.
"Then..."
How could it be that this guy who was full of lies and big talk before actually meant everything he said and did now!?
"Those of yours are just empty words!"
Nicole, whose mouth was dry, saw this, but still couldn't believe it no matter what. Just when she was about to yell angrily and make a final counterattack, she felt that she was suddenly held by someone from behind?
Beauty, Miyuki?! Why you!
"Now, Ash!"
Chapter 97: Inventor: Hoshizora Miyuki, invention project: amazing wisdom.
How... how could it be?
Initially, "Nicole" was an elf born out of some imaginary longing and based on the heroine of a certain fairy tale book. For her, Hoshizora Miyuki, who woke her up from that fairy tale book, was her first and only friend.
Therefore, her companionship with Miyuki is a matter of course for her, an irrefutable fact!
Likewise, as first friends! The relationship between me and Miyuki is of course closer than that of Pretty Cure, Ash and others I met later! Isn't this a matter of course?
That's why she did things like plotting against Tangtang and placing Miyuki under house arrest so that she wouldn't be able to meet Ash and others, because in her opinion, this was an opportunity to save her.
"Beautiful, Miyuki...?!"
That's why at times like this, when Miyuki was holding him from behind and unable to move, his voice was filled with unbelievable tremors.
"Why, why?"
Why such... betrayal?
"... It's so awesome, Miyuki."
Not only Nicole, but also Ash, who was preparing, was startled by the sudden change in front of him.
"Even you can act decisively like this or something."
In the past, I only thought that you were pure and innocent. I would never have thought of this in my dreams, right?
Jumping out at critical moments and so on... Oh, I almost forgot, although you are naive, Miyuki, your action power has always been the most "sudden" among all the people.
"Hehe~ Ash is not the only one who has changed."
After experiencing so many events, I am still Hoshizora Miyuki, but even mine will have grown~
In fact, it's not just me. Others are also working hard in places that Ash can't see, just to scare Ash next time we meet, right?
"Miyuki, why are you here?"
I obviously want to help you, and I will never let such a bad scumbag come into contact with you again! But why did you help him deal with me? Could it be that I was finally abandoned when you grew up? Was I betrayed too?!
"Because like you said you wanted to help me."
Just when Nicole was expecting and being betrayed in her imagination, when a certain existence was about to emerge, Miyuki's soft whisper in her ear suddenly brought her back to reality.
"Miyuki I am using the same principles and methods to save you now."
"Huh?"
Nicole, who was suddenly said this, opened his eyes wide. It was obvious that his brain CPU was overloaded on the spot that he could not understand. Who saved me in the same way...?
"Ash is my lover."
"Nicole is my good friend!"
"There is a conflict between these two people (because of me) that is difficult to alleviate. In the end, if they cannot be understood and neither party admits defeat and continues to fight, the worst outcome will definitely be the disappearance of one of them!"
I don't want this! No matter it's Ash or Nicole, no matter which one I don't want him to get hurt or disappear!
But I really couldn't think of a best-of-both-worlds solution that would satisfy both parties, so I thought, thought, thought... and finally I suddenly understood!
Nicole only sees the harm Ash has brought to us, so we think he wants to hurt me. If that's the case, as long as Nicole sees the benefits of Ash like me, wouldn't the problem be solved?!
Thinking of this, Miyuki just wants to applaud himself! Ash also always said that I am not smart enough and can only hang on to him and be fed by him like a little fool for the rest of my life... That's not the case anymore! Look, I, Miyuki, came up with such a perfect plan today. I almost want someone to award me a Nobel Prize!
"Ash His arrival is not all bad. In fact, it also represents good things!"
Now, it's time for Nicole to realize it.
"Miyuki, what do you mean?"
"Hoo~"
Nicole looked completely puzzled, but Miyuki responded with his usual optimistic smile.
"It's okay Nicole-chan, I promise it will be a result that will make Nicole happy and laugh."
"Ash Come on~ Just like you did to us in the past!"
Miyuki, who gently brushed the little head in his arms, shifted from holding her to holding her in his arms, stretched out his hand to Ash, who was almost speechless, with a face full of hope.
