"Think."
"Then I have never dated other boys, and I don't know what to do at this time! So of course I can only ask you."
Okay, now that you have said that. Ash, use your smart brain to think about what to do at this time - Aha! Then you really asked the right person!
"I really know a lot about it. Whether it's the date with Lei or the time with Little Dark, Haruka and the others, it can be used as a reference! And the date with Twilight was a different kind of date, not to mention that I was often caught everywhere when I was with Primum..."
If I could still smile at the beginning, when these names started to be uttered one after another, even Aida Mana could no longer maintain the gentle expression on his face.
"So you still dated other Pretty Cure after me... there were more than a few, so many! Is it true?!"
"Ah... wait a minute! Although the result is indeed like this, don't skip the process casually!"
Mana, whose face had completely turned "black", turned around and was about to leave alone. Fortunately, Ash had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed her arm at the last critical moment. In this way, the young couple got together while the passers-by took the initiative to detour with aunty smiles on their faces. At the same time, Rikka and others who were hiding quietly put down their binoculars and showed complicated expressions on their faces.
"What's going on with these two people?"
Wow, it's such a mess, are you so tired of your mother-in-law?
"There's nothing wrong with being a couple, right? Arisu I almost want to drink black coffee~"
"As Arisu, who likes the same person, is it really okay for you to say this...?"
Sometimes, as the only "normal person" in the team, Hishikawa Rikka would really feel tired, but whether it was because she couldn't care less or because she was worried, she finally sighed and raised the telescope again to watch.
I'm not sure yet about the purpose of Mana's date with Ash. Are they planning to beat him to his knees and drag him into the basement for hard work? Anyway, we'll have to wait and see.
"Well, the matter between you and others, although it is not unprepared, is still... but it does have nothing to do with the current matter, so I won't go into details."
After a period of reasonable anger, Mana, who pouted with thin red lips, was still willing to go back to the beginning and focus on Ash again.
"So since you said so, it's time for Ash-sensei's 'dating experience' to finally come in handy, right?"
"Since you said that, how embarrassing would it be if I didn't show off a few tricks?"
Although there is not the festive atmosphere that Lei had at that time, there is no advance check-in point from Yao, and there is no professional counterpart from Little Dark who can prescribe the right medicine... but Ash has my amazing wisdom!
"But don't underestimate my information as a dating king! The system will immediately list the most interesting places in Ōbeichō for me... Okay, I'd better find it myself."
Slightly suspicious eyes continuously glanced at Ash's face from the pair of pupils that were as bright red as his hair color.
"It's a new name again. Is this your lover again? Is it really okay?"
"What did you say?"
The whole person seemed to be ignited by the "teng", and Ash, whose nature felt different, seemed to be ignited and started to compete.
"To be so distrusted, I'm really looked down upon... Okay! I'll let you see it!"
Amusement parks, haunted houses, ferris wheels! Department stores, movie theaters, Generation O toy stores—ahem! Although there are some personal hobbies mixed in, is it unusual for two people to have fun together like actually going on a date?!
"Now you even want to play in the mirror!"
Perhaps it was Mana's casual words that completely aroused the "fighting spirit" hidden in Ash's heart. Now Ash's whole body was aflame and he vowed to make her happy and speechless through the next date! "I can also let you sit on the back of a dragon and ride a roller coaster inside!"
"The rest of the doubts and worries are unnecessary. Just let go of your stomach and brain! The only thing you need to worry about is whether you will be so happy that you faint with me next time!"
"Really!?"
Listening to Ash's "Declaration of Justice", Mana, whose eyes were filled with stars for a moment, swept away all the previous haze, and couldn't wait to grab Ash's hand.
"Then, you have to let me see your happy side!"
"But compared to the recreational ones, I've always wanted to climb Clover Tower again! There's everything there, so let's go together!"
After locking the target this time and no longer confused, the beaming Mana immediately took the initiative again, eagerly holding Ash's hand and starting to run in that direction.
"Seriously, don't you think our roles are reversed?"
Also, are you changing too quickly?
As for Ash's question, the girl only responded with a flowery smile.
"As long as you're happy, right?"
The other hand continued to hold the bag, and Ash on the eaves had no choice but to speed up and continue to catch up. He walked side by side with the enthusiastic red-haired girl in front and merged into the flow of people Ōbeichō.
However, neither Ash nor Mana realized who the girl in the crowd who passed them holding a rabbit actually belonged to.
"Speaking of which, is it really okay for us not to tell Ash about Homi's absence all night?"
Ayumi, who also didn't notice Ash and just passed by and missed it, also had a worried look on his face when he talked about this.
"Ash hasn't contacted us yet. Considering what he did, he must be carrying out his own battle in his own way!"
Although a pair of ears were drooped behind his back, his two bright eyes were constantly scanning the crowd, looking for the figure of the person who made people miss him.
"Telling him this now will only make him miss you and distract him from the trouble. In that case... it's better to leave Homi's affairs to us, and let us share some of his difficulties for him!"
"That's right...!"
Although it was a little sad that the possibility of being a mother was rejected on that white board, the bond created by the experience of living together these days made them both reasonable and caring about going to find her.
"More than that, it's our responsibility to share his burden!"
"That's it Puka!"
Continuing to use Puka's super strong sense of energy response, it seemed that there were clues. One person and one rabbit hurriedly set out again to find possible clues!
242
Chapter 242: Date and Truth and... Fight!
Xu was excited about the first date in her life. Mana, who was leading the way, ran very fast, while Ash, who was dragged behind and followed hurriedly, could also feel the heartbeat rhythm of "Dokidoki" from her side by holding the soft palms of her hands that kept beating.
Stop being like this Mana... If you are so excited, I can't calm down.
"We're here! Here is Ōbeichō's iconic building, the 999-meter-tall Clover Tower!"
Standing in the center of the busy city is a majestic tower that is so conspicuous that it is impossible to ignore it. As the top design of the Arisu family Clover Foundation, this tower with a sharp and slender top seems to have touched the end of the sky. And standing in front of this tower that can be said to be the place where everyone's story begins, Aida Mana, who revisited his old place and had a male companion by his side, felt that his excited heart was about to literally burst out of his chest!
"I actually chose this place."
Although places like amusement parks, shopping malls, movie theaters and aquariums are actually the best places for dates, Ash has been there several times before on dates with Haruka and Reika. This time Mana chose such a completely different place, which is really new.
"Except for not having the windmill, it looks a bit like Fūtō Tower."
None of the female companions seemed so exaggerated and excited. This was the first impression that Ash blurted out as he looked up at the black tower.
Just hope there won't be an unexplained wind blowing at the critical moment.
"No, no, it's Clover Tower~!"
Wagging her finger to correct Ash's words, the girl, whose interest was still unabated, raised her hand and pointed directly at the top of the tower that seemed to reach straight into the sky.
"Our goal is there today!"
Ash actually knew nothing about the existence of this tower. In the past, he had learned about it from Mana's partner elf "Sharuru". It was here that she first encountered the scene when the "CureSword" transformed by Kenzaki Makoto fought with Jikochu, and thus stepped into another world.
As an elf, Sharuru was attracted by Mana's beautiful soul eager to lend a helping hand to others, so she transformed into a "Precure" for the first time.
"So, the content of the date is a climbing competition? Then this is really unique and special."
It can be said that this is where their story begins. And now what will happen when we revisit our old place...
"Why, Ash-sensei, can you keep up?"
Ash I don't know, and I don't really want to know in such detail.
Now he just wants to open the eyes of Miss Mana, who is smiling so brightly!
"Who do you think you're talking to?"
The moment he finished speaking, Aida Mana felt as if a gust of wind was blowing in front of him! When she finally took off the arm she subconsciously raised, she realized that there was only an air duct pointing directly to the stairs in front of her in the empty station next to her.
"Ah, Ash, you actually ran away!"
As a result, I suddenly became competitive at this moment. Are you a primary school student? Ah... it seems to be true to a certain extent?
"But!"
After scolding, a smile appeared on her lips again. Amid the surprised eyes of others, she lowered her body with great interest, continued to put her hands on the ground in an athlete's starting posture, and then jumped straight up like an arrow when the starting gun sounded that only she could "hear"!
Saw it! Between the creaking stairs, with the cold wind whistling in his ears, Mana continued to maintain the speed of his feet, and reached out to the white shadow ahead with an excited look on his face.
"Ash-sensei——I'm coming too!"
"I haven't caught up yet!"
"Haha - if I catch up - can there be any reward?!"
"Then let's talk about it when you catch up with me!"
Hahaha two words couldn't help but spit out from the mouth, throwing away all the doubts and suspicions of the people in front of me, choosing to simply follow the inner voice, Mana licked his dry lips, and continued to speed up!
Racing and running with the boys on the tower turned out to be so fun! Then Ash-sensei, since you are not polite, then please invite me to come too!
Now she no longer wants to think about those overly complicated things, but just wants to simply enjoy the moment with Ash!
And pure happy time will always pass the fastest.
"Hoo, ho, ho—!"
When the scenery ahead finally showed the blue sky and white clouds that represented reaching the highest point of the tower, Aida Mana, whose breathing had long been distorted, also moved his hands and knees as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. On those trembling thighs, warm sweat followed the moistened outline of the beautiful body and patted on the purple stockings wrapped around the calves, moistening them into a form that was closer to the hot skin.
"Huh-huh! Lost--"
The whole person was as dizzy as an overloaded engine, and Mana sighed instinctively, almost giving up thinking.
"Ash You are really - phew, so fast! So fast!"
I have obviously exerted my energy to hold sports meets in school, but I can still maintain a constant speed that is a lot faster than me. Is this the physique Kamen Rider needs? It feels as exaggerated as in the cartoon.
Just when she was so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger, she suddenly felt her whole body sink so hard that she almost fell to the ground. But Ash, who was doing something next to her, had a look of sadness on his face.
"What I want to say is, can you really follow me?"
Originally, this race was just about me getting on top for a while, thinking I could get to the top first so that I could laugh at her when she climbed up out of breath. In the end, he didn't expect that she could actually follow him without resting all the way, and she could still keep the distance between only a few positions and never get thrown away by him.
You must know that this tower is really 999 meters high, and Mana has not yet transformed... As a practical performance that will make people doubt the authenticity of your identity as a girl, you are somewhat scary, Miss Mana? Are you even more exaggerated than in the cartoons? Are you a reformer, or am I a reformer?
"Hmm..."
He almost stumbled to the ground, and when he turned around and saw the white coat draped over him, Mana, who was dissatisfied and pursed his lips, also started to complain.
"You are the one, what did you suddenly do to scare me?"
"Your clothes are so wet you can almost see underneath... But I have no intention of sharing this with anyone, so I covered it up at least."
"But there is absolutely no one else on the top of the tower today except the two of us."
Well, in this case, does it mean that the two of us reserved the venue for this Clover Tower on a date?
"... Give me my clothes."
That was chosen specially for me by Yuri, I like it very much!
"No, after all, this is what you gave me~"
He spun on the spot and passed by Ash with his hands stretched out. He held up the Mana covering the collar on both sides of his neck and exposed his white silver teeth to Ash behind him.
"It smells pretty good~ I like it too, so I won't give it back to Ash yet."
It said there would be a reward for those who catch up with you, but it didn't say when they would catch up with you? Didn't I successfully meet Ash just now? Then I took this coat as the final reward~
"Give it back to me."
"No~"
It was clear that he had run out of energy before, but when the chase resumed, Mana happily circled with Ash under the blue sky and white clouds.
"Don't blame me, Mana wants to get whatever he wants~ Wow!"
"It's very dangerous!"
However, it was originally the result of being out of strength and acting haphazardly, and it was an unforeseen step that caused a stutter. Just as she was about to fall towards the railing, fortunately, Ash's quick eyes and hands, who had been keeping an eye on her, came quickly and narrowly caught her between the two shaking "grenades" with the speed of Eiji catching Anku's coins.
"Really, forget it if you don't remember me. How rare is it that you have even forgotten the perfect and elegant way of acting? Don't let people worry unnecessarily."
"Is it redundant?"
The woman lying in Ash's arms turned over, and her question with her twinkling eyes left Ash speechless for a moment. However, before he could answer, Mana took the initiative to reach out his hands and wrap them around the man's neck.
"So, Ash, who obviously looked down on me, bullied me, and didn't want to see me in the past, was actually so worried about me?"
"Ha, who knows?"
