I surrender! I surrender. I have never seen Mana act like a hooligan?!
Next it was Ash's turn to ask questions.
Although my inspection method was indeed a bit rough, it probably wouldn't wake anyone up. I still have a certain amount of self-consciousness Ash. In this case, there is only one possibility!
"So you were actually awake the whole time, and you pretended to be asleep to fish me out through fishing law enforcement?"
I didn't expect that I, who had deceived her so many times in the past, would be deceived by her this time?
Ash is not willing to accept that she actually deceived him.
"I did have such a plan."
Stroking her hair that was messed up by the pillow, Ai smiled sheepishly when she said this.
"I just waited and waited, and accidentally fell asleep... It wasn't until I felt a little pain in my chest that I opened my eyes again."
"... When did you see through me?"
"Actually, I didn't see through it."
In fact, just before, Mana became suspicious when she saw Ash holding the same "toy phone" as Ash. Although there was no actual evidence, a certain degree of "intuition" gave her the answer.
"There is also this child named Ash... Although I also like children, but I felt so close to him inexplicably from the beginning. Looking back on it afterwards, I really think it's a little strange, right?"
As for why Mana subconsciously takes such good care of Ash... Originally, this "Ash" was disguised as Ash's own appearance when he was 12 years old. It's not like she had never seen it before. Isn't it natural that there would be such familiarity?
"So I thought there must be something wrong with him, so I gradually distanced myself from him until I saw it with my own eyes today..."
So even if nothing happened tonight, Mana was going to "threaten" the boy Ash by pretending that he had seen through everything, and asked him to make an appointment with Ash through a supposed connection.
"How about it~ Is this the so-called girl's keener intuition?"
"Indeed, not to mention you are still Pretty Cure."
Seeing the smile with only his head exposed, Ash nodded in agreement.
Then, as they looked at each other in silence with only a quilt on the bed, the most obvious question remained.
"Am I not the worst enemy for you that you must defeat? Why didn't you attack me right away?"
And you caught me in the act when I was planning "unruly things"... Ash I really can't imagine how she could remain so calm under such circumstances, and even be willing to sit down and talk to me in a peaceful manner?
"..."
"Ah!"
Seeing the man's silence, Mana frowned and protested loudly.
"If you think I'm that kind of woman who is flirtatious, I'll be really angry!"
"I always believed in you, so I never thought about it that way."
"Well, thank you."
Although it was a bit strange, after pausing for a moment with his lips slightly open like a smile, Mana continued to open his mouth and stuck out his tongue.
"The answer is..."
"Yeah!"
In front of the other party's expectant gaze, the lips that were about to open suddenly closed again, and then put on a perfect and full smile that was Aida Mana's signature.
"It's getting late. Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about these things."
"Huh?!"
Mana, who was chuckling, was very satisfied with Ash's surprised and astonished expression. In my memory, he would often tease me in such surprising ways. Now it is rare for me to fight back, and I realize that no wonder he likes such pranks. It turns out that the effect is so good.
"It's already so late. In order to avoid being unable to sleep after finding out, I'm going to sleep now."
As he spoke, he spread out the bedding wrapped around him again, and lay down on Ash, who was sitting next to him silently and silently, as if it was nothing.
"Haha~ I was woken up by you in the first place, but I'm actually really sleepy..."
"... Then so do I."
"Wait!"
Mana quickly spoke out to stop Ash who was about to lie down next to him, and then pointed to the half-open door without changing his expression under his gaze.
"Ash-sensei, please go back to your own bed and sleep. You should understand the principle of men and women not being intimate, right?"
"Tch..."
Ash, who didn't expect to be "kicked out" in this way, curled his lips and muttered a few words when he got out of bed and put on his shoes again.
"You've obviously done that kind of thing, why are you still here being shy..."
"Wait, wait!"
Perhaps he heard Ash's muttering, and the face half-hidden behind the quilt was suddenly filled with steaming heat and beauty. Aida Mana, who probably thought of something "strange", no longer looked like he was handling Ash freely before, leaving only the shame stuck on the base of his tongue.
"So, we... really... did... that kind of thing...?"
"Ah, of course it's true."
"Crack!"
Mana, who was completely blushing and turned into a steam girl, threw the pillow from his hand and printed it directly on Ash's face.
"Rikka and I will never do that kind of thing with you in bed together!"
"... But you really did it. You even sat on it and held it with your hands to operate it yourself. That's why I said that you are so coquettish now - Guwa?"
Another pillow with some fragrance left on it hit the man's head.
"Dirty! I told you not to sleep with you, so get out of here~!"
240
Chapter 240 Today's Mana is very different!
"What!? Mana is going on a date with that Kamen Rider?!"
After hearing the news, Kenzaki Makoto couldn't sit still for a moment. He was so anxious that he grabbed Daby and immediately prepared to transform into "CureSword" to help out.
"Anyway, it must be that bastard who threatened Mana, right?"
Mana Don't be afraid, your good friend Kenzaki Makoto is here to save you oh oh oh oh!!!
"Wait!"
It's just that she was so excited, but judging from the expressions of her two friends, she didn't think so at all.
"Well~ calm down Makoto dear~"
Just when she was about to launch a headlong charge, Rikka, who looked embarrassed, and Arisu, who was smiling and saying nice things, stopped her from the left and right. No matter how hard she struggled, she showed no intention of letting go. Then Aguri, who looked serious, walked over from the opposite side.
"I've obviously told you that it's not the case but you still don't believe it... Huh! You, the CureSword, are so stubborn! This is Pretty Cure a huge disqualification!"
Although the appearance of Aguri reminded Makoto of many things, even so, she still couldn't believe that Ash.
"But, this kind of thing must be because that person has no good intentions!"
That's what I thought, after all... How could Mana suddenly change his attitude and start a date with someone he originally thought was an enemy?!
"I don't deny this, but what will the reality be?"
Aguri, who had calmed down, kept a serious look on his face and shook his index finger in front of her.
"Pretty Cure Article 7 of the Five Great Oaths! Don't just believe what you see with your eyes, but also ask your own heart!"
After hearing this, the other two people who were still holding Makoto behind to prevent her from getting too excited looked at each other.
"Pretty Cure The five major oaths... aren't there originally six?"
"Well~ maybe it was added as the times changed, right? Anyway, I agree with this~"
The final result was three to one, and it seemed that no one could stop the date between the two on the other side for the time being.
At least for the time being.
Standing in front of her home, today Aida Mana is still wearing the same purple shirt and pink pleated skirt. The white ankles wrapped in purple silk on her feet seem to be rubbing slightly from the unbearable waiting for something. While arranging her burgundy hair with gentle luster and a hint of shyness in her smile, Mana looked towards the door from time to time until she saw him walking out.
"So..."
The slight wind blew up the corner of the girl's pleated skirt, and also swayed the stand-up collar on the man's pure white coat. Looking at the man in front of him with a serious expression but also some doubts, Aida Mana couldn't help but nodded.
I didn't notice it before when I was just wary of him, but Ash is actually very handsome... No wonder he and I fell in love in my memory.
Also, the time she took off from school was actually used by herself to date boys. This kind of thing that I had never thought about in the past when I just wanted to be a good boy now actually did it, which made her feel some unprecedented stimulation.
"As a man, Ash-sensei wouldn't want to talk about such embarrassing things on a date, would he?"
Well, it seems that until the end of this "date", I won't be able to get the standard answer I want.
"So~ As my date with Mana, Ash, as a boy, has to satisfy me!"
"In such a direct way... and with such a self-proclaimed name, it is really new for Mana."
While he was complaining, Ash felt his hands sinking at first, and then he realized that the other party had directly put the carry-on bag into his hands without ceremony.
"As a man, it's natural for him to help his female companion get her things, right?"
As long as you can see it whether you listen with your ears or see it directly with your eyes, Aida Mana is very happy and in high spirits now.
I don't know whether I'm happy about the date, or whether I'm happy that the person on the date is Ash?
"What you said is a bit sexist. Although I don't mind it, but..."
Such "Aida Mana" is somewhat "eye-opening" to Ash.
Ms. Mana who does whatever she wants and is self-interested... At first glance, it may sound like a completely OOC character, but in reality, it actually fits the character quite well, right?
From Ash's personal perspective, the "CureHert" who Mugen spread his overflowing love to the whole world from the very beginning is, in a sense, the same existence as the "Selfish King" who wants to monopolize everything based on pure desire.
Although the two are completely opposite in terms of pure power, the Pretty Cure series of kingly stories of light and darkness, good versus evil, but fundamentally speaking, it seems to be a bit of a classic of "the enemy and the enemy come from the same origin". It is precisely because of this that two people who are similar and opposite to themselves are so attracted to each other...
Even Mana only gradually understood the correction of his mistakes after being subjected to some excessive "reality beatings". So now, it seems that the entire world has been formatted to return to the original stage.
Will Aida Mana... turn back into the "happy prince" who "does whatever he wants" and wants to give love to everyone?
"Ash, what are you doing standing still? If it's a date, you have to take good care of your female companion!"
Well... so far, nothing is known. This is the same for her and me.
"Why, so nervous~"
Regarding Ash's current silence, Mana couldn't help but want to try to tease her.
"Do you like me Mana that much? Cheer up~ Even if I thought it was Ash, I would act more casually and not care."
"That's not the problem anymore."
Ash Just suddenly thought of something quite embarrassing.
As his first love, theoretically they should have an extremely close relationship, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he had never had any romantic experience with her. The first date really only started at this embarrassing moment.
Could it be that you specifically chose to do it now to "retaliate" for my slowness? If so, I wouldn't be surprised haha...
After walking past Aida's restaurant, Clover Foundation's castle, and the TV station that Makoto often went to, the two of them seemed to be recalling the footprints Pretty Cure had left in this world. At this moment, Mana stopped before the corner of the brand new street ahead.
"Speaking of..."
She, who was extremely active and excited with Ash in front of her all the way, suddenly stopped. Even her enthusiastic voice gradually dropped, and she asked Ash with a slight hesitation, "It's a date, how can it be considered a date?"
"Huh?!"
When Ash saw her suddenly stopping, he thought she was going to do something. As soon as he got closer, when he heard this sentence, his face was filled with disbelief.
"It's Mana. You said you wanted to go on a date. Are you asking me?"
241
Chapter 241 Let's begin, our date.
Although she has a catchphrase that makes her heart flutter, she is good at ogling, and her battle name after her transformation is "Heart Angel (CureHeart)", but when it comes to love topics, Aida Mana has always only stayed at the paper data between words. It was only now that she actually found out... "love" in real people is completely different from what she imagined!
Not to mention anything else, my heartbeat was so fast that I almost turned into Ling Shen Xin and flew out.
"Then, tell me if you want to have a good date with me!"
Looking at the little face in front of him that turned red with shame after being asked a question in front of him, the silent Ash finally nodded slightly.
