After all, Ash was the child they picked up who had been separated from their family. No matter how close they are to other people's children, they must be sent home later, and this also symbolizes the separation from her.
I had only stayed with her for a while, and when I thought about it, my heart was filled with reluctance. He is even more worried about adopting Aida Mana, whom he has been living with day and night for many days? In particular, Rikka is very clear. Underneath his friend's optimistic, cheerful appearance and love to make friends, there is a heart that is afraid of loneliness.
Even she couldn't bear to imagine how reluctant Mana would actually feel in her heart now that she could say these words.
"So..."
Originally the tone was still joking at the beginning, but as he sank in and buried his head, Mana continued to speak in a muffled voice with a layer of unknown meaning.
"When the time comes, I really don't know what kind of expression I need to prepare before I can say goodbye to you..."
"It's okay, sister Mana!"
When Mana was losing control of her emotions and didn't know what to do, she felt a pair of small hands gently pressing on her shoulders. She stood up again while holding her eyes still red.
Just like how they turned against Tiangang when they first met, this time the young man whose tone was full of optimism had a smile on his face, and in turn comforted Aida Mana, who was now full of disappointment.
"No matter when it is or how many times we separate, we must be able to hold a better Mirai and meet again in the future!"
Mana I don't know why as a child, he can maintain such an optimistic spirit when talking about separation, as if he has experienced it countless times. But after seeing the smile he gave her in front of her, Mana felt as if she had been healed and her heart began to warm up.
"Also, sister Mana - I have made a promise to you. When I grow up, I will marry my sister and you will be my wife!"
This is not just a joke for comfort, it is proof that he is serious about being a real "Ash"!
"Pfft~!"
But no matter how serious he acted, it was certainly a joke to Mana and the others, but it did make her laugh out loud.
"Obviously I'm just a little kid, but I'm thinking about marrying my sister or something~ I'm so proud~!"
"It's too early for you to say that!"
Besides, sister, I actually already have a favorite type. He should be taller, bigger, stronger and more powerful than you~!
"Huhu ~ Mana I think it's pretty good? Look at Ash who has been so cute since he was a child. He will definitely be a talented person when he grows up. If you marry the old and beautiful Mana back home, wouldn't it be a huge profit for you?"
"Ah~? Your theory is that when I grow up, I will definitely become a leftover girl that no one wants, and I can only wait for Ash brother to come and marry me home? You Rikka, how dare you make such malicious speculations and make fun of your president! You deserve to be punished!"
"Hahaha~ Dangtang Student Council President is relying on his power to bully others. Is there anyone in charge? Someone come and save me~"
"You-"
Makoto, who had just returned to the classroom from the recording studio, saw such a scene between the two of them. He was stunned and couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"What kind of trouble is this?"
Although as a "foreign" exchange student, Kenzaki Makoto, the scene in front of him was beyond imagination, but this did not affect the other two girls from continuing to chase and fight happily. And when a woman was showing off her youth so vigorously that even the Buddha couldn't help but open his eyes and smile when he saw her, only one person couldn't smile.
Arisu on the side looked like he was simply enjoying the scenes in a movie, watching a few people laughing and joking with a blank expression, unable to arouse any further interest. No, if you look carefully, you can find that she is not really not interested, but always focuses on the boy named "Ash"!

Chapter 219: Different intentions.
As a rich young lady who grew up in a wealthy family and was literally born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Yotsuba Arisu's lunch was naturally delivered to her while it was still steaming hot by a professional chef with expert talents.
But the exquisite and delicious meals on weekdays now tasted tasteless. The reason was probably because she didn't sit down at the table with everyone for lunch as she did in the past, so she probably lost that flavor.
After all, there was someone else in her original position today. Although she had no intention of joining him, when no one really noticed this, it still made her a little angry.
So her attention naturally fell on everyone's new favorite - the boy named "Ash".
A boy who calls himself "Ash" temporarily lives in Mana's home for various reasons after his parents got separated. Although it sounds like a very logical development, after she carefully used the connections and technological clues from the Yotsuba Family to conduct a location search, Yotsuba Arisu was certain that she did not find any clues to the identity of the other party in the population database!
Even if we call up the surveillance at the time, it's the same. This boy seems to have suddenly jumped out of thin air. In fact, there is no cause or effect at all for his sudden appearance.
"It's too suspicious..."
This alone was enough to make her suspicious of the other party, not to mention that after that, he actually got involved with her most important people Mana and others, and he also gained everyone's love at the same time!
Looking over again, I found that this time it was Makoto who was trying to play with the three children again, and as expected, he was made a mischievous face.
"You kid, you are so well-behaved in front of others... you are just treating them differently on purpose!"
"Wow - Mana sister, Kenzaki she bullied me!"
"Why do you call everyone else your sister, but I am the only one who calls you sister?"
Hmm... it should be everyone, right? After all, even I almost couldn't hold back the throbbing in my chest and almost fell into his cuteness trap.
So this is very suspicious no matter how you look at it. He is simply trying to get close to everyone on purpose. Judging from the consequences, he must be plotting something?
"Is your name Ash?"
Fortunately, Arisu, who is always vigilant, has seen through it and will definitely expose you, this unidentified brat!
"So... who are you~?"
What never left him was that after Xi'an finally moved elsewhere, the young man picked up the teacup in his hand and drank it with his head tilted back, but his movements lost the elegance of the past.
But no matter what kind of "conspiracy" it is, I have my eyes on you now!
Especially in front of me, Yotsuba Arisu, who has now gained a "new life", don't even think about hiding the past!
And so on... She must be thinking about these things now, right?
Don't ask how Ash knew it so clearly. It was just that when the other party's obvious eyes kept sweeping over her, it was a bit difficult to ignore it.
"So there must be a problem? It's just that the answer to this question is not as easy to understand as it appears on the surface..."
"Hmm...?Ash Brother, what are you talking about?"
"Ah! I thought that I would change the flavor when I prepare it next time. After much deliberation, I decided that making fried noodles would taste better!"
His expression in deep thought quickly changed, and when he saw the innocent smile on his face, Mana also calmed down.
"Huhu~ In that case, I'm quite looking forward to it."
Aida Mana, who was naturally beautiful, was also very beautiful in appearance. Especially when he saw the completely happy smile on her face, Ash felt that he could eat two more bowls of rice.
"Well, I really should have compensated her earlier..."
"Well... Can Nian, failed again."
Seeing the pile of coke he had taken out from the smoking electronic oven, Ashu, who had been holding on to some hope, suddenly felt depressed again.
"If it's a Western-style snack, of course there's no problem. After all, Ash has the memory of making it together with the system. As long as you follow it, you won't go wrong."
But when she wanted to learn Haruno Haruka's craftsmanship and make some Japanese snacks for Ash, due to her complete lack of experience and various relationships, the ingredients ended up in such a miserable end.
"Uh..."
Just by looking at it, Ayumi, who was very insensitive to the coke, complained slightly ruthlessly.
"After all, most Japanese confectionery doesn't need an oven at all... especially at this temperature."
Take a closer look at the dashboard. It can even bake glass, right? What on earth do you want to feed him?
So after all, how do you associate the two together?
"Because I wanted to use my imagination to create something, but... you also saw the result~"
Like "System", "Hisutimu" said in the end that he was completely another Him, so what he couldn't do, even the one who inherited all her emotions and heart, naturally couldn't do it.
"..."
The small predicament in front of her reminded her again of the problem that had troubled her to this day.
When I heard what He finally told me, I accepted it wholeheartedly. After all, the memories and emotions I got from Him were not lies.
So, what should I do now that he is the enemy of Ash? Should we continue to follow His changes and join him on the same path, or should we look back to the past and make the promise that "I" made with Him in the beginning?
Ashu I don't know what to do, let alone how to choose. And this was the reason why she was in a dilemma and couldn't put more effort into focusing on the present after falling into this dilemma. If you are afraid of working hard, you will bring worse results at this time.
"I'm sorry, Ash..."
As she lowered her head unbearably and whispered in a low voice, the girl's eyes quietly drifted towards the people who were still lying on the bed and dreaming.
"And everyone."
I have obviously gained the power from all of you, and it's time to use it at such a critical moment. In the end, he couldn't do anything. What about the fourth person created by the system, "Dark Night Angel" with all the power of Precure? The result was really ugly...
"It would be great if I could have the same dream as you."
"Puka... Speaking of which, Ashu?"
As a part of Primum, Puka, who was also the first and only "best friend", naturally felt sad for her such a low performance, and it would be a lie if he didn't want to comfort her.
"Why do you want to make Japanese snacks specifically?"
I see that although Ash didn't have time to eat the Western pastry you made for him before, Homi and I tasted it and both said it was very delicious, right? Wouldn't it be better to use that one?
"Because when Yao was still here, she would make snacks for Ash like this every day, and he looked so happy eating them."
The girl shook her head helplessly and explained.
"So I also think that every time he comes back, he can still have his favorite snacks."
I obviously made it according to the recipe book, but the result was completely useless. I even ruined an electronic oven... Is it because I don't understand electronic products at all? Then why not try to do it using local methods next time, maybe it can be done?
"That's it, Puka..."
Seeing his friend pondering alone like this, the elf, who had never been in love even though his other self was married, somehow already had the answer in his heart.
"For Ash, Puka can work hard for such a small thing..."
The answer you should choose... isn't this already practically obvious? Puka?
"It's really rare to see you with such a depressed expression at this time."
No need to ask anyone who heard this, it must be Ash who is back.
"Ash, welcome home——huh?"
Just when he was about to greet Ash who had returned, Ayumi, who was still preparing his lines, looked up and saw a wide-open arm actively embracing him.
It is indeed the first time for me to express it so straightforwardly.
"Huh? Ah... what are you doing...?"
Ayumi, who didn't react much until he was hugged tightly, used his own unique voice to express the timid dissatisfaction coming from an ordinary girl.
"I don't want you to come to coax me belatedly when you later realize that you have done something wrong..."
In that case, wouldn't I, Sakagami Ayumi, become just another woman who can easily fool someone? But it's so abominable! After being actively hugged like this, even the body temperature is coming from the other side. It feels so good. What should I do?
"But I know that the strong Ayumi will definitely be able to forgive me after I apologize."
After being told this, Ash not only had no intention of stopping, but also followed Ayumi's movements and continued to knead it hard twice.
"I was indeed too harsh on you before, so can you forgive me Ayumi?"
When it comes to people who feel sorry for themselves too late, it's not just Mana, but Ayumi too, isn't it?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Tell me, what's the problem this time?
"Please, Ayumi! I want to ask you to work with me to save people in the future, to save someone who is very important to me."
"So the extremely pure power that belongs to you is a must!"
Lend me your strength once again!
"Of course, this power should be used to save others, and..."
For the first time, he took the initiative to step forward and grabbed Ash's shirt. Ayumi, who carefully and firmly grasped it, let him come closer to her with a smile of his own.
"Since the first time we met, I seem to have been always busy for you... Can you tell me about a time when I didn't borrow something?"
"Hahaha~ I will repay you later."
"When will this kind of favor be enough?"
OK, Ashu! That's it! While they both have their eyes on each other! Quietly standing on tiptoes, Ashu raised his inner vigilance to the highest level, blocking the plate in front of him with his body, and moved himself back bit by bit.
As long as you reach that place, you can cover up the dark history! As long as you get to that place - you can get to that place!
"Ash! Ashu She wants to sneak away Puka~!"
Then her caution fell short in front of Puka's small report!
Puka, you traitor, can you still have the nerve to call yourself my best friend?
