Yotsuba Arisu, who accidentally had his body taken over by his other self in the mirror world and almost made a big mistake, finally got his body back at the last moment with the help of Ash. Such gratifying news, of course, he wanted to share the joy with his good friends~!
But the story she told sounded a little strange...
"I've said it's okay several times, but in the end he still ignored my response. He's really a man who talks to himself."
"But fortunately, he also admitted that he will definitely take responsibility~ This is a good ending, right?"
"Arisu, let me declare in advance that I don't understand a word you say."
Although he spoke with such righteous words, judging from Rikka's rosy little face that was still leaning forward after turning away his face, and the glances that drifted this way from time to time, he probably didn't understand.
"In any case, he did save me in the end. Although he did have conflicts with us in the past that could be resolved, but I think even a bad person will one day change his mind."
"Yeah."
Rikka on the side also nodded in agreement at this time.
"On this point, I hold the same opinion as Arisu."
"Perhaps we should also reflect on whether the way we treated him in the past was a bit too harsh?"
"Hey, this?"
He was obviously racking his brains with everyone before, trying to find ways to deal with that Kamen Rider, but then he turned around... Kenzaki Makoto found that the only person who was truly hostile to him seemed to be himself? "Didn't you agree that you must defeat the person who plots evil against us..."
"But we found that he doesn't seem to be that bad after all."
"Yes, and accept that he actually... ahem, I mean we can see his actual performance before talking."
Rikka, Arisu? Have you really betrayed me?!
"Mana."
However, as the core of their discussion, it is impossible to bypass Aida Mana, who is the backbone of everyone.
"What do you think about this?"
Arisu put down the tea cup in his hand, and Rikka used the palm of his hand to gently push up his glasses, which were filled with inexplicable nervousness. Especially Makoto had "self-disordered" written on his face, and looked at Mana expectantly.
Aida Mana, who never spoke but listened attentively, put down the pen in his hand that seemed to be recording something.
"Have you ever felt the wonderful connection with that Ash?"
"Could it be that?"
After hearing this, Rikka immediately became excited.
"Mana also feels it?"
So I said that I have an inexplicable admiration for him... Sure enough, I'm not the only one!
"Well... I seem to remember something. I remember reaching out to him and saying that I wanted to bring him under this sunshine..."
"I see. Sure enough, it's impossible for Mana to not notice anything."
Eh? Huh! Looking at the other three people's understanding when this issue was mentioned, Kenzaki Makoto was once again confused and wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe his own sweat. Am I the only one who feels nothing? What's going on, this feeling that I'm the only one who can't do it?
"I vaguely remember the time when I wanted to reach out to him, but could never reach him."
But the more he thought about it, the more confused Aida Mana became about this matter.
"Also, there is some agreement between you and him..."
At this time, Aida Mana, who was troubled more and more, no longer had the joy and vitality of the past. At this moment, she wanted to find someone to talk to her about her inner feelings.
However, this kind of private feeling... who can let me talk about it?
At this time, she couldn't help but think of someone. Someone... someone who obviously shouldn't be chosen.

Chapter 225 Ashu: Please teach me the master of post-O appreciation!
"It's almost time to say goodbye to the identity of Ash."
After all, the most difficult problems Rikka and Arisu have been successfully "solved" in every sense of the word! The only ones left are Aguri, whose whereabouts are unknown, and Makoto, who is almost incidental. As for Mana, who has become more and more obsessed with Shota recently... Ash believes that his bond with her is definitely not fake!
After this wave is over, he will stop pretending. If he continues to pretend like this, he is afraid that some strange changes will happen to him.
"But I see that Ash, who is so small and well-behaved, is obviously quite cute."
Although he had a similar image to him when we first met him, his actual personality remained unchanged and he was still so strong and independent that Ayumi had nothing to say. So if possible, Ayumi would of course also want to meet the cute, sensible and gentle boy version Ash who only existed in legends.
While muttering his regrets about this, he was also jealous in every sense of the word that Heartbeat Team could be casually intimate with such Ash.
Obviously, I have liked this one the best from the beginning.
"In this case, I have a good idea, Puka~"
As a rabbit who doesn't like carrots, but prefers Ash to cook it himself, Puka jumped up to the table with pastries in his hands. He seemed to have some hidden idea in his big shiny eyes.
"As long as Ayumi you act like you've also turned black, Ash will definitely come as soon as possible - Puka!"
"Ahh~ This is the only one that will definitely not work."
He picked up the pastry from Puka's hand from behind, raised his arms high and let her jump around underneath without letting her reach. When the rabbit that couldn't jump was lying on the table panting, he threw it into his mouth with a twist of his wrist.
"As punishment, I will confiscate this."
"Puka... Puka is also going to turn dark..."
"Ah, I've seen that one before."
"Why is it so puka... puka kaka..."
It was obvious that he was a cute, gentle and timid elf at the beginning, but as the time he spent with the man increased, his moral integrity declined in an inverse proportion.
"Next, we just need to convince Heartbeat Team and the others again, find a way to wake them up, and gather everyone's strength to defeat the mastermind!"
Mirai, which was originally not clear enough and bothered people, has now become more and more obvious with the efforts of Ash. Hey~ If you look at it this way, it will be another big victory like Precure, and the future is bright!
"But it's not just that. Ash has also become softer and softer to the naked eye recently~"
Including Ashu, who was previously troubled by the dilemma of positioning himself, gradually returned to his original playful character and started making jokes about Ash.
"If this continues, I will completely take off my past cheerful and war-crazy hat and become a good man that everyone likes."
"... A good man who drives more than thirty Crystal Palaces?"
"What does it matter? After all, everyone likes it~"
"Humph, I'm really embarrassed that I was a bad man in the past."
"Okay, okay~"
After hugging and rubbing the dissatisfied person for a while, Ashu, who had smoothed the fried hair on his head before being driven away impatiently, happily walked towards the next person again.
Ashu feels that as the biggest contributor to this matter, of course we cannot forget Miss Homi, who is sitting aside and writing and drawing on her notebook.
Although this "daughter" from Mirai had always been secretive after being rescued, when everyone was overwhelmed by these sudden changes, she gave Ash a crucial encouragement, which made him cheer up and even inspired everyone!
So, she has also inherited Ash's ability to never lose track at critical moments? The more I watch it, the more I like it~
"Homi-chan~"
Ashu, who was in an increasingly happy mood, couldn't help but squint his eyes and tiptoe quietly closer to the girl, as if he wanted to take a look at what she was writing on her hand.
"I see that Homi also likes painting and sketching in his daily life? What, does he want to become a painter when he grows up like CureEgret?"
However, Homi's reaction to Ashu's weird sister-like appearance of asking for a relationship without asking was also very direct. He put up the notebook in his hand and turned his face away, only showing a pair of vigilant eyes that were not visible to outsiders.
"No."
Hey... Although I know that most children don't really want adults to see what they are busy with alone, but such a straightforward avoidance is still very hurtful...
"Mmmmmmm~!"
Ashu, who made strange noises and wanted to calm down his dissatisfaction, had no choice but to change the topic.
"Since you said you don't need to worry about the cheap daughter you acquired from outside, then the only thing left is Miss Ai, who has the best relationship with you, right? This should be completely within your reach. But because of this, if that guy Carle wants to interfere with it, he will definitely choose this time - um, wait?"
If Regina, who is also from this world but was hit with everyone else, is still lying down, then... have we ignored anyone?
"By the way, where's that Cure Ace!"
Ashu suddenly recalled that as someone who also inherited his memories in all Pretty Cure worlds, she was quite impressed by this additional warrior who was evenly matched with Ash when he first appeared and also had a high-spirited personality.
"I remember it was called Madoka Aguri, right? Because of his age, once he accepts it, everything will be annihilated by the higher-ups outside the multiverse, so he was deliberately ignored, right?"
"Ahem!"
The pastry that was almost not chewed was stuck in the throat, and when he finally managed to calm down by beating his chest continuously, Ash's face was also full of weirdness towards Ashu.
"What are you talking about? I wasn't that hungry back then, and I didn't mean that."
"That's just right. Counting the time, Ms. Aguri has now grown up to the extent allowed by the law. Why don't you make up for your regrets and renew your relationship?"
Because she is actually a woman, Ashu understands very well that leaving out women is a taboo in post-O works! Especially if you flirt with her but don't marry her... ah, that's bad, it seems like you haven't really flirted with her yet.
"... Is it okay for me to be Pretty Cure?"
Now Ash, who is really embarrassed, just wants to punish this bitch who has made a fool of herself.
"Besides, the whole person is missing now, including that Poker Kingdom. Maybe they disappeared together. There is obviously an enemy conspiracy, and there is no clue how to find it until now."
"If it's Poker Kingdom, I seem to have some clues."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of three people and one elf were focused on Homi who quietly raised his hand.
226
Chapter 226 An unexpected gain? Go to the Poker Kingdom!
"Homi-chan! What you said... are all true?!"
Inspired by Homi's unintentional words, Ashu and others' wide-open eyes were filled with incredible surprises.
"Yes?"
It seemed that she was also frightened by everyone's violent reaction. The girl who nodded timidly replied carefully, "When I was controlled by them, I seemed to have seen how he blocked the road to the Poker Kingdom."
"So I can probably use this as an opportunity to infer the way to reopen?"
"Yes, yes, you can have this!"
This time it was really hard to find anything, and it took no effort at all to get it!
Although Ashu joked before that Aguri is not within the scope of Ash Crystal Palace, our principle from the beginning to the end is to lend a helping hand when there is an opportunity. What's more, if we can find the strongest single player among the heartbeat Precure, "Cure Ace", it will be really powerful for everyone who lacks combat power today!
"What's more, if you can go to the sealed Poker Kingdom, you might be able to follow the clues and find some clues about the conspiracy!"
Ash, whose eyes sparkled more and more as he talked, nodded repeatedly.
"This is a great idea! Without further ado! Let's go now!"
"Yeah! Let's go Puka!"
Although it was a bit abrupt... in any case, several people rolled up their sleeves and were ready to do it, surrounding Homi, looking expectantly at the mysterious and mysterious "practice" in her hand.
"Okay! After it's over, let's invite everyone who came back to have a barbecue party together!"
Although it's better than being lifeless when you were confused before... But after you recovered, weren't you a little too cheerful? Regarding Ashu's ruthless way of inserting flags for everyone, Ayumi next to him also complained mercilessly.
"If you say something like this before a battle, I always feel like something bad will happen."
"She just wants to play a game where she puts up the death flag first and then survives."
Ash, who also holds the same attitude in this regard, is quite cheerful.
"Just let her be."
It's not the Akihabara team, so where's the death flag... Hey, who is the Akihabara team?
"Okay, that's enough!"
Seeing that the teleportation array actually started to operate at the feet of Homi, who had been busy painting for a long time, everyone stepped forward excitedly.
"Ash always likes to do everything by himself, so there must be no less."
Taking courage, Ayumi, who rarely took the initiative to make a request, had eagerness to try in his eyes.
"Last time I was a housekeeper, so this time Ayumi I want to go too!"
I also want to be the supporter of Ash as before.
