So it will be fine.
"And in front of children, of course the elder is the strongest!"
Aguri couldn't say anything about the man's current self-confidence.
"It's more than that."
Homi, whose feet suddenly accelerated, walked to the front, took Ash's hand and led him all the way forward, and stopped in the center where all the refugees could see.
"At the same time, let's put the smile back on everyone's faces, father!"
Well, it sounds like there are really amazing lines that are very suitable for a hero, but...
"Me?"
"I believe that if it were my father, he would definitely be able to do it!"
After looking at the smiling face full of expectations for a while, he gently patted the girl's head and pushed her behind him.
There is one more reason not to be disappointed, but maybe I thought so myself at the beginning.
Let me think about what kind of opening remarks I should make... Oh, I have it.
"Hahahahaha——!!!"
He suddenly made a sound and laughed in the sky, which didn't sound like a good person at all. It startled Aguri next to him and he almost sat on the ground.
"What, what's wrong? Is the monster coming again?"
"Is he? At this time, he is actually smiling?"
Whether it was because he was frightened or because he was in disbelief at the laughter, Ash forced these dejected people out of their own world and focused them on themselves again.
"You ask me what I'm laughing at? Of course I'm laughing at the expressions on your faces right now!"
Previously Ash heard that someone always likes to smile like this in front of everyone. In fact, he is a handsome yuppie! Ash, a person who can't hold his temper, has certainly wanted to try it for a long time.
"Look at your expressions like your dead parents, it's so ugly!"
Not only was he mocking, but Ash was also unceremonious in his words. He directly ignored their thoughts and continued to poke at the pain deep in his heart.
"Are these the citizens of the Poker Kingdom? They will only be chased by monsters like horses on the grassland. After escaping, they will find a place to squat down and start feeling sorry for themselves."
"Ugly, how ugly!"
Suddenly he stood up in front of everyone and started giving a speech, and was suddenly showered with curses. The survivors were stunned for a moment.
And when they gradually reacted, the anger turned into crossroads and rose from their foreheads. Who are you? Why are you blaming us from above?
"Why are you talking so harshly about us?"
"That's right, facing a monster like that... what can we do?"
"So you just throw all the responsibilities to such a little girl, and then huddle in a corner by yourself and pray for a miracle to happen, or else just lie down like a waste and complain about yourself and express despair?"
Regarding their arguments and refutations, Ash also scolded them back without any shame. No matter how many people protested, Ash, who stood on a fallen stone platform with his arms folded, performed what is called a real-life verbal battle with a group of scholars, poking at the pain point with a sharp spearhead, leaving everyone speechless for a moment.
"This..."
"If you are such trash, then there is no need to be protected. You can just find a place to die on your own, so as not to worry about being a hindrance to others!"
He raised his cooperative hand to his head and shook his head repeatedly in a sighing tone, looking like he was extremely disappointed in everyone.
"Wait, what are you talking about?"
Aguri next to him was a little anxious when he heard this. He thought he was going crazy again and immediately wanted to transform to stop him.
"I'm saying this in front of everyone. It's obvious that now is not the time for you to have internal strife——!"
"Shh!"
At this time, Homi, who put her finger on her lips and made a silent sound, pulled her and explained to her with confused eyes.
"Father, his purpose is not to cause internal strife. Senior Cure Ace, look at everyone now."
Now? Everyone?
With doubts, Aguri looked over again and still saw only a group of people who were accumulating anger and glaring at Ash with pairs of red eyes. Wait a minute - Aguri, who is not stupid in the first place, understands after Homi's prompting.
"This... this is!"
Looking at the people who gradually approached Ash after standing up from the ground, Aguri couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Although I once thought about motivating everyone, in reality, no matter what kind words I said, it would have little effect, but now...
"We—Poker Kingdom people are not the cowards you say!"
"That's right! If you can defeat the monster if you have the chance, it wouldn't be a pity even if you sacrifice your life to protect our country!"
"And who are you, talking about us in such an amazing tone!"
"Everyone...!"
It is precisely because Pretty Cure takes "heart" as the source of power that Aguri can be more clearly felt from the hearts of these excited people.
The atmosphere of despair is gradually dissipating?
Although they were controlled by anger... everyone did stand up from the previous despair and decadence.

Chapter 231: Method to save Poker Kingdom.
If it weren't for the Poker Kingdom's per capita moral level that was too high, some of the Hongwen citizens would have taken action with him before Ash's repeated provocations.
In any case, Ash used the anger aroused in their hearts to temporarily make them forget their original despair.
Looking at the people in front of him who were aroused by his few words and who were so noisy that they wanted to explode with him and Jikochu, Ash laughed even louder.
"Want to know my name? Okay, listen to it, you losers who are not even gears!"
It has been explained since the first volume that the characters of the people living in the "Precure" world are more pure than those in other worlds. That's why they are so easily deceived in the story, and will become dejected and lose hope after being slightly stimulated, and are exploited by dark forces.
"I am the legendary King who desires everything and accommodates all [Black Night Kingdom]—Ash!"
But because of this, they are also very easy to be "motivated" by others, and then they can immediately break out again and cheer up!
"I am King - the man named Ash Furederika!"
"Ash... Frederica?"
This is the first time Aguri has heard the full name of Ash, Frederica or something like that... it sounds like a girl, which is not consistent with my reality at all.
But it's quite cute.
"Even the people who came here this time are only here for one thing!"
Surrounded by many angry people, Ash, who seemed to feel everything was beautiful, continued to declare loudly.
"I want Poker Kingdom, who is guarded by Ling Shen Xin, and Pretty Cure, who is guarding them, to be taken into my arms!"
"Now it seems that if a country with only such useless and stupid people really accepts it, wouldn't it be a stain on our territory? Oh, yeah, yeah~ I'd better think about it again!"
"Who wants to be included in your pocket?"
Naturally, these people could not agree with what he said.
"The Poker Nation doesn't want to be your thing! And we have worked very hard to survive until now, so we are not useless!"
"We really don't have the power of Pretty Cure, and we have no choice but to rely on her. But as long as there is a chance to help her, we will fight!"
The voice that came out of nowhere in the crowd made everyone stunned at first, but soon received a more exciting response from the crowd. Because they all want to let this "arrogant" His Highness King know that they are no cowards!
"Oh~ I didn't expect that you still have such a heart?"
And this is what he was waiting for. Now, Ash rubbed his chin and put on an expression that finally showed some interest.
"I didn't expect you to have a bit of blood. Am I wrong? But I doubt that you can really achieve that level?"
"Of course, we also want to do our part to protect our own world!"
"This is really surprising... It seems that you really have this heart."
Looking at the eyes of the angry people below, the light began to flicker, and the fake smile on the man's face gradually merged with the real joy.
"If you really think so... if you really want to regain control of your own destiny, then I do have a way! If you have the ambition to evolve from waste material to gear, then follow my command!"
"If it's me, I can guide you to your true power!"
"Okay, as long as it can save our country!"
What... Poker Kingdom's talent is not for this style of painting, right?
"Then believe me, and believe in yourselves! Watch, this battle wabi will once again open the way to Mirai!"
Aguri was completely stunned when he saw the man who had just gathered so much hatred against himself, and in the blink of an eye could transfer the leadership of the screaming people to himself, and lead them to fight again after they had just failed.
Is this still the Ash I know... What happened to you in the past few years since we disappeared.
"Because he is Ash, and he is my father."
Only Homi has no doubts at all and firmly believes it from beginning to end.
"But the battle to open the road to Mirai..."
"Don't think too much."
He stepped back from the increasingly fanatical crowd and tapped the girl's head with his raised fingers, waking her up from her alone state.
"It's just a small incident on our way forward."
"The same goes for you."
During those years as Black Night Kingdom King, he didn't just sit on the throne and do nothing. He gradually developed a certain temperament combined with his own intelligence. After he made arrangements and gave everyone tasks, he found Aguri again.
"You should have noticed that these are not the real Jikochu at all, right?"
"Of course!"
Hearing what he mentioned, Aguri suddenly became excited, and the words that had been stored in his chest for a long time came out in a stream.
"Although they look the same in appearance, they are actually just specious monsters inside. The ones that have not been purified by my killing power are proof!"
"I have also found out the source. It is an extremely huge monster located in the kingdom's palace. It is like a mother body, constantly producing these monsters, so it can't be defeated no matter how hard it is!"
"So that's the case, it's quite different from what I guessed."
Ash had long suspected the origin of these monsters that kept attacking and causing trouble. First of all, it cannot be on the earth, because we have searched everywhere without finding any clues. Secondly, if it is in Mirror World, then Dragon Blacker has not found the corresponding suspicious existence, so the origin of these "Jikochu" can only come from one place.
"I also thought about using the power of artifacts to destroy them, but after all, I was just one move away..."
If we have everyone's strength and gather the true power of the five Pretty Cure, such an enemy will not be afraid at all!
"So I've told you everything, Madoka."
The generous palm covered the girl's clenched fist out of nowhere, and a reassuring atmosphere flowed into the heart along with the tone.
"Now you are no longer alone, you have us accompanying you, right?"
"..."
After realizing what the other party was doing, Aguri, whose face turned bright red, hurriedly threw away his hand.
"Don't be like this, we obviously don't know each other that well, right?"
Otherwise, I will become weird. I don't want to fall for you like Mana and others!
"Okay! Next, get ready."
The man who didn't see the strange look on her face retracted his hand and announced loudly and seriously again.
"Prepare? Prepare for what?"
Ash, who drew out the red sword and walked in the direction he came from, still looked like it was natural.
"Since I told them just now, I want to get back what I lost."
"Then there is no reason to break your promise."
