"Love...?"
"It's okay, Ash." Although the flames on the man's body are indeed very hot, it would feel even warmer if he clenched his hands tightly like this. "You have said so many embarrassing things, so let me join you now."
"You're a poor girl with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth..."
If looks could kill, then love has died hundreds of times in Catherine's eyes.
"Already, that's all."
"The mother who led so many miscellaneous soldiers to disrupt the situation at the critical moment, and the mother who was resurrected by Kale and appeared in front of me, didn't appear here just to talk to us about these trivial matters, right?"
Amidst the clenching and locking sounds of putting the helmet back on, Ash also raised his fist towards her without any confusion this time.
"Whether you were ordered by him to go against us, or you just want to do what happened before just for your own sake."
People always say that parents are their children's first role models, and parents are their children's first teachers. There are countless things that children can learn from their elders, and I have indeed learned a lot from you to some extent...
But today, I also want to teach you something in turn.
"It's about time you learned to let go of your children."
"..."
Emerging from Catherine, who seemed to be crestfallen and falling into silence, another layer of darkness filled with terror filled the space. Aida Mana, who was holding Ash in his hand, could not help but put more force on his hands. He was immediately on the highest level of alert.
"Such words are illegal, my little Ash."
Let me, who always only think about my own affairs, learn to consider the feelings of others besides myself, and even learn to let go?
As the Jinchūriki "Kaller" whose ability to control the power of Mugen's parallel world is far superior to that of "Bokwars", he finally dragged Catherine out of the boundary of death and completely restored it after a complex operation on various things including the timeline and parallel world lines.
"You have such an impatient temper."
And now, the shadow of the witch that absorbed all the power of her predecessor Witch of Despair in the past and could swallow up the positive emotions of the entire world in the blink of an eye has also been completely reappeared.
After letting pure Dark Echo pour out from the soles of her feet like black mud to swallow her up, Witch of Despair stood up again——Catherine Frederica once again stood in front of Ash!
"It really hasn't changed at all~!"
The negative energy that was completely enough to swallow up the entire world was overwhelming them like a mountain and a tsunami!
Feeling the strength coming from his hand, the man responded by gently squeezing the soft palm.
"I want to apologize to you for dragging you into such a household matter that has nothing to do with you."
"... You obviously said those words to others, but you still think it has nothing to do with me?"
From being hesitant to becoming determined again, Aida Mana showed his smile again without even taking half a second.
"Ash."
"Huh?"
"This time, I will protect you."
Compared to the more or less forced expression during the previous date, she showed a more innocent smile to Ash.
And the loss of consciousness that took away his sight for just half a second was enough to make the other person unable to stand and do a lot of things like Catherine.
"The relationship is progressing so quickly. It's so disrespectful to me as a mother!"
The waves that emerged from the dark light condensed on the hand were like a broken crescent moon, flying through the middle and forcing the connection between the two to both sides!
And when they looked back at the deep ravine behind them, even though they knew that they had a standing relationship and would not affect the outside world, their expressions were still extremely ugly.
Mana... Love! It's once again, it's our turn to fight side by side!
And even though they were far apart, the blond Precure, who could still hear Ash's heartfelt thoughts, nodded, and when a thumping sound erupted under their feet, the two of them ran towards the dark silhouette attentively, crossing each other!
"The last time I was able to use my dream to break the despair that should have given me the upper hand, it was because of the unique circumstances that caused a miracle between you and them, right?"
Seeing the two people separated in embarrassment and glaring at her, the restless excitement in her heart made her couldn't help but lick her drier lips.
"So, how can you create another miracle to break this despair?!"
"Or will my existence swallow up all the joy, resistance and entanglements you have had so far!?"
The loving Light Arrow and the passionate fire arrows exploded on her body at the same time. However, being enveloped in such light and heat, her wild laughter still did not weaken at all.
"What is the answer? Just thinking about it makes people excited!"
Chapter 248 Domestic violence against my mother with my girlfriend
The two communicated through a brief exchange of glances.
Want to fight, Ash? But she is your mother! It's weird that mother and son are going to point swords at each other, it's so weird!
She is indeed my mother, but she is also my enemy, so don't hesitate to cure heart! The time of hesitation is the time of defeat!
From the feet of the witch-turned-Catherine, waves of darkness surged like ocean waves towards the two of them! When Rider and Precure quickly retreated to both sides, they barely managed to avoid the dark energy that almost burned the soles of their feet.
"Wow, I really don't mean to be merciful at all...!"
Not long ago, Aida Mana thought this would be the kind of plot development where Ash takes her to meet her parents. Even when she was dissed by the evil mother-in-law, she always greeted her with a forced smile, but she didn't expect the result to be like this!
However, if I gave up right here, I would be arrogant Pretty Cure!
"Ash's mother - Miss Catherine!" A pink energy shield was released from the heart-shaped brooch to support the two of them. Adhering to his kind nature and Pretty Cure's consistent tradition, Aida Mana wanted to try to persuade and influence her heart no matter what. "If you are Ash's mother and he is your son! You have no reason to kill each other like this! Why don't you try to consider his feelings!"
Without even intending to look at her, the dark energy began to spin from the witch's fingertips and condensed into a spike, which was then launched out, piercing the vibrating barrier fiercely!
"Please, think about the wonderful times you spent together as mother and son--"
"I left when he was very young and came back when I discovered his talent and he was abducted so there was no such thing."
Another spike pierced the previous tail like a solitaire, trying to push the former in. Spider-web-like cracks began to burst out from the piercing position, and at the same time, it seemed to crack her heart.
"Then... then please think back carefully, as a mother's love for her son——"
"Love? That's right. At first, I just regarded him as a pet to me. Later, he became completely my own thing to me. So I have always loved him. Yes, such punishment is my love!"
After another spike flew, the crumbling barrier, which was already full of cracks, finally exploded like broken glass in the clear sound.
"If you want to teach me the same old talk about love and justice, you can avoid it. Not only is it troublesome, I have no intention of dealing with a child who only thinks about love and hope!"
I understand, even people like Aida Mana who live in a pure Mami good world can understand it. The way she looks at herself and Ash now is completely contemptuous of a pure superior. In such eyes, she can't even be considered the same species at all to her, right?
It's not that she doesn't agree, she just looks down on this guy who always says all kinds of things that are so naive that only children would believe them!
"Sorry."
Mana, who was forced to retreat, was quickly caught from behind. Ash, who used the flames on his body to block the debris, even had time to joke with Mana. "The style of my home is a little out of touch with the world."
If it becomes like this... will this family relationship be a little too severe? "But it's too sad to have to fight against your own mother——"
"You don't need to care, Mana." Ash, who tapped her shoulder, quietly transferred all the responsibilities to himself. "It's an unchangeable fact that I killed her in the past. Now I just want to do it again for some reason and send her back to where she should be."
"So don't worry, it's not your responsibility, Cure Heart."
Between the thin lips that could not be closed due to surprise in the past, Ai just stared at Rider in front of her with her burgundy eyes, whose tone was so relaxed that she seemed to be discussing what to eat tonight, and could not look away.
For Ash, who is now so calm and indifferent that it makes people feel distressed, the door that had been opened a little before was finally completely opened at this moment.
"Ash..."
You don't want me to worry, but I know that your heart is by no means so relaxed.
I understand... I roughly understand, not only the important memories that gradually revived as the battle reminded me of you again, but also what I must do now.
I want to help you, I want to save you.
I have to save you.
As the distance grew, the dark energy that was constantly surging like ocean waves finally stopped chasing the two of them. Then, like living creatures, they began to rush back to the feet of Catherine, and the sounds of "Gulu, Gulu" began to gather together again as if they were pregnant with something.
"It seems that Ash lacks respect for his elders. It would be better if I fill it in here."
As Interdimensional Traveler, who existed earlier than Ash, she already possesses powerful telepathic power. After taking away the power that originally belonged to Dyspear and becoming the new generation "Witch of Despair", she has the power to challenge and devour the light of an entire world!
The evidence is that no matter whether the Light Arrow or Ash arrows of fire shot by Ai, whether it was the power of light from the idealistic perspective or the fiery power from the materialistic perspective, it had no effect when it hit her body that could not avoid it. All attacks disappeared like mud into the sea.
"Little girl, you are right about one thing. I have only thought about my own affairs from beginning to end. Is there anything bad about this? For me, having strong power means being able to control any existence that is weaker than myself with my fingers!"
Catherine, with its feet off the ground, gradually flew up... no, it should be said that it was suspended high by the energy of materialized despair! The pitch-black Tragedy Energy gradually lifted up a spider-like giant under her feet. Catherine, who was riding generously on the giant's back, even had the time to cross her legs and instruct the giant to attack them quite casually.
"It's huge... This is really a traditional approach - wait Mana!"
Facing such a giant, Aida Mana seemed to have triggered a special attack on giant monsters and subconsciously wanted to open Heart Arrow to make it bigger. At this time, Ash suddenly took action and swooped out with her. Before Mana, who was lying on the ground, could react, threads like knives spitting out from the giant's mouth had cut the place where she originally stood into pieces.
An opponent with such a huge body and such excessive agility and range of movement must be cheating!?
Chapter 249: Taking my girlfriend with me and being domestically raped by my mother
"You know? It's like you started a new game casually, thinking of playing it casually to enjoy it for a week. But you didn't expect that it would lead to a jackpot that is rare for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years... no, it is a jackpot that is rare in billions of years. The first initial character given at the beginning has a four-digit race value of UR level~ Ah, at this time, how can you not be fascinated by what you want to do with it?"
It seemed that he was quite enjoying the two people below being chased and exhausted. Catherine, who was so full of malice that he was almost overflowing, even had the leisure to pour himself a glass of red wine to enjoy it even more.
"You said, how could such a precious child be allowed to mate with a yellow-haired wild monster that jumped out of the grass outside?!"
The raised fingers caught the light arrow directed towards his face. Now Catherine and Mana's expressions were as dark as those underneath.
"It's such an excessive description... it's too vulgar to call it 'mating' when two people are clearly in love!"
As long as two people agree with each other, there is no need to care about anyone else's opinions!
"Did you let me speak? You poor and lowly woman who kidnapped my son!"
The dark energy dyed Light Arrow with the color of despair in the blink of an eye, and he threw it straight towards Mana with his backhand! But before it was about to hit, the raging flames, under the control of Rider, first reacted with it through deflagration with a "cracking" sound.
"It's really too much to casually describe other people's lives as a game!"
Ash, who blocked the attack in time, now has more and more consistent views with Mana.
"Really~? But I think the former Ash also liked to play games like this with his good friends in other worlds? Hahaha~ Is there anything more joyful for a mother than to be able to see her precious son inherit her own merits?"
"Is this... is this an advantage?"
"I can't be happy to inherit something like this!" Being chased all the way like this was not an option. Seeing Ash and Ai, who were going around in circles until there was no way ahead, they stopped at the same time. Just as the spider giant aimed at them and was about to bite down on its fallen fangs, a dazzling red light flashed by.
"Huh~?" Looking at the red sword in Ash's hand that was used to drive back the giant, Catherine also showed interest and nostalgia. "Isn't this my Satan Saber? Are you using it well?"
Although I originally stole it from Creation King in a certain world, I am quite happy to see you using it so diligently.
"Yeah, since it's my mother's relic, then it's normal for me to use it, right?"
"How dare you say that in front of your mother... huh?"
Just as he was talking, he saw Ash at his feet wielding this magical weapon that could ignore defenses, and cooperating with Mana to continuously drive back the spider giant, but Catherine looked more and more wrong.
"That's not right. Where did your Dark Echo go?"
Last time you were able to use it to turn into such a dragon... Let's not talk about these for now. Why is it missing? Otherwise, why are you so weak now?
"I collected these just to help him." Ash kept waving the sharp blade in his hand to cut down all the incoming spider webs. His tone did not sound like he was discussing some terrifying power that could change the multidimensional world, but more like sharing the snacks and potato chips he brought today with his deskmate. "So I used this kind of thing to fulfill the promise for Him."
If it was the first time that Ash had not acknowledged the relationship with love before, then when Catherine heard this, it was the second time that he had broken the defense even more than before.
"You said that those Dark Echo that you collected, enough to make you stronger than anyone else... were just given to Him by you at will?!"
The witch with red eyes jumped down from the giant's head with red warmth. She took out the dark scythe that matched the witch's identity from her hand and chopped the weapon down like the guillotine of the God of Death! Ash was completely suppressed here with just one strike!
"Mom doesn't remember raising you to be such a luxurious and wasteful child!"
As expected, he has won all the power of "Witch of Despair" in another world. Even the "Re-Burning" state that Ash has now turned on can't resist such simple and violent suppression.
"Yeah, because you didn't teach me anything at all!"
Just as Ash was forced back step by step by the sickle hanging on his forehead, a brand new force helped support his feet from behind. Without words, Aida Mana was already standing beside him, with Heart Arrow on his hand, resisting the "guillotine" together with him!
This also gave Ash the confidence to speak louder.
"Have you seen this Pretty Cure! To stand beside them and support them, I don't need something so dark, right?"
"Shut up!"
From simple violent oppression to sharp cutting, the ferocious sickle in Catherine's hand was almost dancing, and the offensive like a storm was clanging with the weapons in the hands of the two people to resist, sparks kept coming.
"Are you trying to say that the friendship and bond you gained along the way are the treasures of your adventure? Ash... I obviously emphasized this to you during that meeting, right?
It's okay if you like this kind of cartoon as a hobby, but this kind of pure entertainment to deceive children must not be taken seriously!
In this day and age, anyone who looks at it will feel that compared to those empty words, of course, something that can actually be held in your hands is more important!
"Is that so...!"
