He suddenly doesn't recognize himself and is even hostile in turn. You can tell with your buttocks that there must be something fishy. Whether he can solve the problem is the reason why he is here now.
"If you want to blame me, I can only blame me for being late."
"As for this minor injury, I can just put some saliva on it and it will be healed. Compared to these, what about the others?"
"Ashu went to prepare supplies, Puka was cooking, Homi she had something to go out for a while, so it's time to come back." Ash was not fooled, and the sound of the girl rummaging through things still echoed from the bathroom.
"As for the others, it's the same as always, probably still waiting for you."
"Really, that's the case."
Pushing the door open and entering the room on the other side, Ash pulled out a chair from the table and sat on the edge of the bed. He stretched out his hand to Hanasaki Rei who seemed to be dreaming of something good while lying on the bed with a happy smile on his face.
"Really, I went home and didn't even say hello?"
Although it was said in a joking tone, there was still no response after hearing it echoing in the dull and dark room, and the originally raised tone also dropped helplessly.
"What a bunch of heartless guys... Are they really that happy?"
He twitched the smile on the corner of the girl's mouth, and the tender skin that had been poked by her fingers bounced back with rosy color in a short time. Then it was repeatedly poked by Ash, and the bounce cycle continued endlessly.
"Looks like I'm really happy."
He released the cheeks that were gently pinched by his fingers, and when the man looked to the side, Miyuki, Hui, Haruka, Yui and others who followed him were all lying on the bed like this, with steady and soothing breathing, eyes closed tightly.
It's really a happy sleeping face, so happy that people don't want to disturb it.
"Did I do something wrong again? Did I hurt you again?"
In the room with no lights on, Ash, who was sitting on a chair, seemed to be asking them, but actually it sounded more like he was talking to himself.
If so, I really hope you can jump up and tell me personally that I was wrong.
"Or do you want me to do something... before you wake up?"
In fact, Ash did not come to Mana and the others immediately after arriving in this world. There were still several days between them.
And it was during these few days that such an incident occurred.
The origin of the matter starts from the time when he took everyone together to set off.

Chapter 200: Everyone who is sleepy, please rest.
"Don't treat this as a simple retrieval, Ash! The direction you are going is of equal importance to the battle we are about to start."
This was a warning given to him by Marbellas, one of the pirate captains with whom he had the best relationship, after discussion before coming and going.
It's actually a very simple truth. Kahler's initiative to provide him with the gear to travel through time could not have been out of good intentions. In fact, he just said that it would be a trap waiting for him to fall into the trap, and in this case——
"Whether we successfully defeated Kaler or lost and had to wait for you to rescue me, during this period of time, we were equivalent to containing half of the enemy's right and left arm, greatly weakening the obstacles we might encounter!"
"You're still as smart as ever!"
Marbellas, who habitually wanted to hit him on the head with her fist, but was dodged this time, also chuckled.
"That's why I told you to be more serious, kid. After all, your words will always underestimate the enemy and cause trouble for everyone!"
"That's all just old sesame and rotten millet. Don't dig into my old scores."
"It's a pity that more people can't follow, but if those girls are here, they should be able to protect you... I won't say more. Compared with these, I believe that we can get the victory we want when we meet. To win, you have to win twice. This is what pirates do!"
So with the blessings of their companions, Ash and his party embarked on a journey to the other side.
"It looks like nothing has changed since I left."
In a sense, Ash, who had returned to his hometown, knocked on the mirror next to him, but there was no reaction except for a moment of swaying. As a result, Ash could only laugh awkwardly amidst the "siege" that made everyone confused.
Oops, it seems that Dark Dragreder has been fed by them all these days and has become too happy about it, and the relationship with the original owner has completely faded.
"What are you waiting for? There is obviously nothing?"
"Ahem, compared to these!"
Facing everyone's inquiries, Ash, who smoothed the ripples on the mirror, quickly changed the subject in a serious tone.
"Don't forget the purpose of our trip, then start the investigation immediately!"
"Oh!"
Considering that they are new here, unknown enemies may have set dangerous traps, so contacting Mana and the others as soon as they arrive is tantamount to alerting the enemy.
So everyone launched an investigation into the possible hidden mysteries in this world, and this investigation lasted for several days.
"Why haven't we found anything yet, Pucca?"
"I'm sorry, although everyone has already used various methods."
The temporarily unfolded screen showed girls who had transformed into Pretty Cure, patrolling intensively around the world. As a result, apart from knocking down some Mirror Monster that occasionally accidentally fell out of the mirror, they found all other suspicious enemies.
"That."
Turning his attention from the screen back to the girl next to him, Puka asked doubtfully again.
"Why don't Ashu come with you? Puka."
"Because I am very dangerous now. Even I can't guarantee whether I will suddenly fall into the enemy's camp."
The helpless girl touched the rabbit's ears and could only respond with a forced smile.
"Rather than going out, which might cause some trouble, it's better to stay in a place like this where someone can stop me at any time."
"Puka... But isn't this very sad for Ashu, isn't it Puka?"
"As long as I can help Ash, I will be very satisfied no matter what."
Looking at the relief on her face, Puka, who was shaking his ears, disagreed with this statement from the bottom of his heart.
"It shouldn't be like this Puka..."
"Ah, I'm so exhausted!"
Another day of patrolling, another day of useless work, the yawning Erika and Snow White were hanging on the left and right of Ash, who also had Yayoi hanging around his neck.
"Stop arguing, I've almost figured out what the abnormality in the world's space readings is -"
Feeling the tension coming from above, Ash had no choice but to put down the data pad in his hand first.
"Do you really like my place so much?"
"KKSK~"
"After all, we too - haha - like you the most."
Even Yuri and Nan would put their noses close to his neck when passing by, and then take a deep breath.
"Are you really not pretending at all?"
Now that it is impossible to separate in a physical sense, Ash, who knows that the patrols outside are all entrusted to them, and that they have indeed worked hard, can only happily and helplessly accept such coquettishness.
"But the passage we came from has now been completely closed. If we want to return now, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, Ash."
Yao Yao's soft fingers and sweet smile could always soothe his soul immediately.
"It's strange, but we don't really want to go back."
"Whether it is in the world of Ash or the world here, you are truly living among us. For my current dream, this is very satisfying."
"Yao..."
"Don't worry, Ash~"
Megumi next to him had a smile on his face and gently placed his palm on the top of the man's head and stroked it tenderly.
"There are so, so many~Pretty Cure Here, if there are so many hearts that are enough to overflow happiness to the whole world, no matter what the problem is, it will be solved~"
"It would be nice if that were the case."
Not just out of vigilance against the enemy, Ash felt inexplicably uneasy from the beginning to the end, or when he set foot on this land.
But... seeing that they were finally relaxed now, especially when Huidu showed the same innocent and happy smile as before the change, Ash really couldn't interrupt the atmosphere by pouring cold water on them.
Just think it's for them and try harder tonight if you stay up a little longer.
"I don't know why, but I always feel sleepy very quickly after coming back recently."
"After all, you have indeed been busy outside for a long time. Go and rest quickly."
"That won't work~"
Just as he was saying this, the fragrant softness in Yu Jiaojie's tone was already embraced from behind.
"Ash You must want to study secretly by yourself while we are resting, right?"
"Lei... why are you always so smart at such critical moments?"
"No, I told you before that you must have a good rest and correct your bad work and rest habits."
Also at the critical moment, Hanasaki Rei, who had changed from her usual soft-girl temperament, picked up Ash from her seat with a strong force.
"Just like flowers need sunlight to grow, it is an iron rule for human beings to rest when they are tired. Ash must also take a good rest~ Let's help each other."
"Hey hoo~hey hoo~"
Some people grabbed their arms, others raised their ankles. Always when facing themselves, these Pretty Cures from different worlds would break out into an amazing tacit understanding.
"Hey, are you the ant army that caught the prey and transported it to the cave?"
Although he kept complaining, Ash, who couldn't resist, was neatly pressed on the bed, covered with a quilt, and even the blindfold was gently put on by Miyuki.
"Good night, Ash."
It was obvious that his voice was sleepy, but Miyuki still did not forget to kiss his lover on the cheek affectionately before going to bed.
"Good night."

Pretty Cure in Chapter 201: "Team Destroyed".
"You haven't gotten up yet. Are you staying in bed?"
Ash, who put his coat on his body, asked casually.
"Yes, Yuri-nee didn't even get up. It's as rare as the persistent cold last time."
"Then maybe it's not a cold..."
Could it be that he really asked them for help, but subconsciously squeezed them too hard? Ash, who was reflecting, could only temporarily cancel today's scheduled patrol mission.
So at the moment when there is nothing to do, the only two people left with Ash are their time together.
"It's not an option to procrastinate like this any longer, I've decided! I'll go find Mana and the others tomorrow!"
No matter what kind of Hongmen Banquet the enemy may have arranged, now we have to break through to know the truth! It doesn't matter if there are any difficulties, it will be up to me to save them when the time comes!
"~?" Different from the past, she did not protest against Ash mentioning other girls during the date. Lei, who seemed to be in a good mood, held hands with him and kicked a stone at her feet according to the pace, causing it to bounce back and then kick it out again, repeating this process without getting tired of it.
"But I'm really sorry."
But he wasn't so scumbag that he really forgot who the person next to him was at this time.
"There is only this unseasonable atmosphere now. After everything is over——"
"There is no such thing, Ash."
Lei, who shook his head slightly, didn't seem to be dissatisfied, and continued with a beautiful face, "The world here is also full of birds and flowers~ It feels very similar to Hope Flower City. It is different from the previous world full of hateful monsters. It feels so peaceful."
"When Mana and the others came to us, did Ash learn anything from them?"
"Haha~ This is..."
"Let's have fun here together from now on~"
"This is no problem."
Different from the last date, after all, there was no bonus from festivals and temple fairs, so the only things the two of them could talk about were these unnutritious topics.
It's just different from being unable to calm down in my heart and looking around Ash. Lei's voice, leaning on that arm, sounded softer and softer.
"Na~Ash."
