Ash, who had just picked up a bucket and towel from the restroom backstage, looked up and saw several grown men stacked on top of each other to form a arhat, while not forgetting to accuse each other.
"Hey, I can't do it even if I help lift it, how about you, a destroyer?"
"Be careful what you say, pirate! You, on the other hand, can't even do the most basic cleaning?"
"It's so noisy. Doctors are usually in charge on the ship... Hey, Ultraman, please pay attention -"
"This young master is already very stable - Wow, he's about to fall!!"
The stacked arhat fell down instantly like Babel Tower in the noise, knocking over the bucket Ash had just taken along the way.
"What are you doing..."
Looking at the heroes who fought bravely in the face of the destruction of the entire multiverse in the past, they are now rolled into a ball, with a bucket on their head on the left side and detergent on the right foot, while still not forgetting to shirk responsibility. Ash also closed his eyes helplessly.
And if you want to ask why it became like this, we should start from before this morning.
After confirming the relationship with Pretty Cure, Ash took them on a honeymoon trip to travel and play in different worlds in the past. And after returning to Hope Flower City today under the hospitality of Heart Tree, Ash certainly remembered "Nasta Café" who was the first person he and Yuri met in the past.
Returning to my hometown makes me miss it very much. So when he was planning to reopen the coffee shop, which had been abandoned for a long time and was now covered with dust, a few of the "neglecters" who happened to be here with nothing to do came forward and volunteered... and then it became like this.
"Speaking of which, aren't you a king?" Marbellas, who was the first to get up, rubbed the back of his head, his eyes full of doubt. "And there is a maid, can't she come and clean it for you just by saying hello?"
"In the past, Yui did all the work in the castle, but not recently. She is pregnant and I don't dare to let her climb high places... Besides, doing this kind of cleaning in a maid outfit will expose you."
"Do you still have this trick?" Marbellas nodded thoughtfully, thinking of the maid costume that his pirate group once had. "Learned."
"Hey~ I didn't think about you as a space pirate." Zero, who took the appearance of a famous voice actor as a human body, couldn't help but tease him after hearing this. "You actually have such thoughts~"
"Hey." But when he was joking, someone in the taxi next to him suddenly whispered. "I think the two women in his pirate group are actually quite interested in him, but he simply didn't see it. But you, young master, are already six thousand years old, right? Where is your girlfriend?"
"... Don't talk about me, it's yours! Are you really the only one who has passed through so many worlds?"
"How dare you say that... Do you want to fight, you kid?"
"Ha! I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to this!"
"Whose primary school students are you?" Ash continued to support the people who had a disagreement and took out their transformers. "Really, are you stimulated by the festival?"
That's right, because today is what all couples long for—Valentine's Day!
"It's honestly hard to understand."
If this continues, such a trivial matter will lead to a super-peak showdown with cross-set warnings, so Ash also quickly stepped forward to break up the fight. "Actually, if we really talk about it, there must be a lot of women who like you..."
In response to Ash's preaching tone, everyone immediately changed their bodies and stared at Ash with expressions of displeasure and hatred.
"This young master has never seen such a shameless person! Is it because you have such Harem King that you can stand and say such things without having your back hurt!?"
"Although this kind of private life issue should not be judged by a pirate like me - but are you too obsessed with it? And the scope is too broad!"
"That's right, even with the ridiculous style of the pirate next to me, it's too messy."
"Tch, Shi, you're a pretentious guy! Don't think I don't know?"
When the three of them were forming a joint criticism team, Ash suddenly changed the subject and targeted a certain "destroyer of the world."
"I heard from Onodera that when you traveled together again, you encountered that kind of dispute between your past sister and Natsumi, right? Hahahahaha!!!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Kadoya Tsukasa's whole face turned green when he heard this laughter. "Xiaoye is only my sister's, and Natsumikan, so does Natsumikan's thing count?!" followed by a series of difficult words, such as "that kind of violent woman", "just friends", etc., which caused everyone to burst into laughter, and Nasta was filled with a happy atmosphere inside and outside.
"And you two, don't laugh either! Don't mention that there is a beautiful female pirate in your fleet. Zero Aren't you married and have children?"
"Hey, they are just my crew members, how could they-"
"Then do you dare to say that you don't feel their attitude towards you occasionally?"
"Does it count if I'm just a possessed person?!"
"Then do you want me to name a few names you've flirted with?"
The two people who were instantly hit by a sudden turn of events and were hit by a wave were speechless. They could only hesitate and let Ash, as the "big devil", point in front of them and want to challenge, but the "braves" laughed in disgrace.
"This is exactly why you can't beat me!"
"Listen to me! - If you don't respond even though you feel it's interesting, you're just hurting everyone, so no one will be happy!" Ash, who raised his mop pole and was not ashamed but proud of such an "upright" harem declaration, held his head high. "But it's different for girls who like me! Because I'm strong and smart! No matter whether it's external power, financial resources, or internal spiritual wealth, I'm not lacking!"
"As long as I am happy, they will be happy too. I will bear the burden of all their lives, and there is no problem in loving them all and making them happy for the rest of their lives!"
Seeing someone inexplicably starting to swell and even become "great", the three people sitting on the ground were dumbfounded... Could you please stop saying such really terrible things in such a handsome tone? Hey!
"Hey, if you're too hasty and hurt someone..."
"Rather than worry about who might be hurt, and end up making everyone so sad that there is no turning back, it is better to hurt them all once, and then use real happiness to compensate them until they can't even complain!"
You are invincible Ash.
The three of us would like to call you a man who truly has no weaknesses.
"So you are not qualified to criticize me in this regard. You might as well learn from me!
If you need some love advice, I can also help you with free consultation. "
"Okay, okay, we know you're awesome, okay!" The more they heard such words, the more they felt that this guy was deliberately provoking Gong Huo, and the most angry thing was that they couldn't refute him.
Besides... people take the initiative to post to your side, right? ah! This is really the most hateful thing!
"But... speaking of it."
All the pointing fingers at Ash were sucked in like being hit on cotton, while everyone was in distress. Zero was suddenly the first to react. "We, a group of people, didn't receive even a single chocolate on Valentine's Day, so we were so troubled that we went out together and wandered around."
"Why do you, a winner in life, hang out with us?"
"Alas -" As soon as he said this, Ash, who had held his head high like a rooster before, suddenly lowered his head like a frustrated bull. "I originally thought so too..."
But I don't know why, while I was still happily waiting for the gift - they seemed to have made an appointment, and ran away without even saying goodbye. Even at this critical moment, they didn't know what to do at all!
"They say couples will go through a period of indifference after getting married... I didn't expect it to happen so soon!"
"I really can't even say a single word to comfort you." As proud as he was before, Ash is just as miserable now. However, the few people who saw him crying like this felt a lot more psychologically balanced. "But, if that's the case, let's have a men's party after a long time!"
"You mean?"
Seeing the game disc that the three of them took out from their hands with a smile, Ash instantly threw away his dissatisfaction and disappointment and only had stars twinkling in his eyes.
"The Road to Seeking O! Monsters and People! And Ren O Hall Brawl - all new games that didn't exist in 2055!? There are even game sequels that will never be released in my world?!" What was even more surprising was that Ash saw the last disc that Zero took out. "And..." Super Hero War 2055" adapted from our war?!"
"The captain confiscated this from a certain smuggler. I secretly brought it out just so I could play with you!"
"Everyone..."
Seeing everyone's tacit understanding now, Ash burst into tears for no apparent reason and stopped sitting still. I immediately went to the backstage without cleaning and carried out all the extra large screens and game consoles/
"Games are most fun when played with familiar friends!"
"So, don't worry about that cold-blooded woman who won't even give you chocolate after getting married."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
The big boys who smiled simultaneously reached a consensus instantly.
"Let's start a game. Let's start a game quickly!"
Let us prove that men without girls can be happy to the end!
"No one can sleep tonight. I haven't played a game for a long time. I must have a good time!"
"Ha, who are you looking down on?"
"That's it, look at my super gorgeous victory!"
"Then you are 20,000 years too early to defeat me -"
In the lingering night of countless lovers, the shadows cast from Nasta showed the appearance of several men having fun and quarreling.
A special day is for special love, and in order to be a gift that can carry special memories, Pretty Cure each went to prepare a surprise for Ash without saying a word.
Especially since there are so many competitors, in order to make a real profit, I can ask Ash out in one go! Of course we have to be faster and better than others!
If I could go on a date with Ash today, side by side and holding hands outside, I would be very happy~ The cherry-haired woman saw the cherry pink petals flying outside the window through the glass, and the reflective lenses hid the smile in her eyes~
Behind the glass, in the kitchen smelling of cherry blossoms, Hanasaki Rei, whose apron was stained with cocoa powder, was struggling to stir the melting chocolate with trembling hands. "It's a pity that chocolate is not like growing flowers. It's too late to just follow the instructions in the book..."
Looking at the twisted chocolate dripping in the mold, she murmured with regret and the tips of her ears turning red, "I must be unable to compare with others. I just hope that this feeling can be conveyed like the cherry blossoms in full bloom."
"After all, it's Lei's handiwork, so Ash won't mind." Looking at the disappointed Lei and the cheering Gijera in the flowerpot, Tsukikage Yuri, who now looks more mature and feminine, comforted her companions and put the precious wine-centered chocolate she had waited for a long time to finally buy into a gift box. "But I do think Valentine's Day for adults needs a bit of danger."
"Happy happy happy~" sang a strange song, and even went to the Fairy Tale Kingdom to ask her old friend Tangtang to help Hoshizora Miyuki, who was cooperating with her and injecting the sweet energy that represented joy into it. Looking at the rainbow candy rain exploding on the console, Miyuki still held the mixer high and jumped with excitement. "Happy~ It's a chocolate meteor shower!"
"But is it really okay to put so much sugar in it, Kulu?"
"Of course! In order to make Ash's smile as bright as the Big Bang and Ultra happy, Miyuki wants the chocolate to be sweeter~"
"Although we have to wait in line for such a long time..." Because the one I chose was too popular, I had to get up early in the morning to queue up, and had to endure the noisy environment. It was really hard for a lady like Aoki Reika. But looking at the chocolate that I finally got, my beautiful smile couldn't help but bloom. "But if it's for Danasama~"
In her fantasy, she had even seen Ash's moved appearance, and the expression on her face couldn't help but become a little happier. "I hate Danasama, this is not a deliberate attempt to be attentive, it is all my responsibility as a wife~"
"You may not know, but one of our Blue Sky Kingdom's most famous exports is chocolate like this!" Taking full advantage of Princess's advantages, Snow White proudly showed off to his friends at the same time. "So of course Princess can get the best batch for Ash~ Hehe, I wonder how he will praise me in the future~"
"But Hui, will you...?"
"No more." Aino Megumi, who didn't feel there was anything wrong with his hands covered with cocoa syrup, stirred the super big pot and almost covered his whole body in chocolate while continuing to work hard, was filled with energy when he thought about what was coming next. "In order to reconcile with Ash, in order to make Ash feel my true love... I also want to pour all my love into it!"
In order to inject the great love that spreads around the world into your heart!
"Hey~" For a child who was born in a dessert shop, the part of making chocolate by hand is naturally within reach. Especially when he saw the chocolate that he had molded into the shape of Puff, Haruno Haruka's heart was filled with joy and couldn't stop. "It's done, my heart is full of love! It's just... hey, isn't it a little too childish~"
"It doesn't happen anymore, Haruka, you are Princess." Amanogawa Kirara, who doesn't have the skills of his companions, but also put a lot of effort into preparing foreign hardcover chocolates, actually doesn't focus mainly on chocolate. "It's still her favorite Princess. If it's made a little cuter, he will also like it. As for me..."
As a model, she certainly understands the path of differentiation, so instead of the cute ecological niche that occupies more people, she actually focuses on the sexiness under the clothes. Covering her hot cheeks, even she was a little embarrassed. Is it really too romantic to say this?
"For Valentine's Day, everyone should prepare chocolates."
And on the Hishikawa Rikka side... the girl who knew that Ash actually didn't like desserts very much, so she set out on her way to Nasta with a homemade, but deliberately packaged black chocolate that could be found in stores everywhere. "I just hope he won't dislike me for being poor. I don't know what Mana has prepared... ah, Mana!"
Subconsciously hiding the chocolate behind his back, Rikka smiled subtly when he saw what the visitor was doing. "It's obviously chocolate prepared for the master of the house, but why can't I eat it myself?"
"Because it's chocolate prepared for him, I want to taste it even more~" He took out another piece from the bag and put it in his mouth. Aida Mana, who was immediately filled with happiness, started shaking intoxicatedly. "This way I can share the same sweetness with him~"
Besides, this was a special chocolate recipe that she had prepared all night since yesterday and was finally completed easily. The addition of special spices made her want to remember this sweetness and give it to him in "another" way!
"I have already thought of this step. Mana is so cunning... ah, everyone is here!"
The few people who came earlier than others looked at the thoughts on each other's hands and couldn't help but smile because they had the same thoughts. Next, it was about to see whether Ash would be more in line with their wishes.
With this idea in mind, the girls full of love came to the man's downstairs. Then, whatever expressions they had on their faces, such as anticipation, shyness, joy, etc., all froze on their faces.
The girls couldn't see clearly through the windows and soft lights, but they still saw several figures pushing each other...
"It's really been a long time-" Potato chip bags and empty Coke bottles were randomly thrown on the ground, game controllers stained with snack residues, and sofa cushions were placed randomly. Ash, who was originally preparing to clean the cafe, turned out to be even more messy. He looked at the word "game over" on the screen and stretched a long way. "But it's really great. I might as well just sleep in today and let Nasta's store opening date be postponed for another day."
"Hey, you kid!"
Mabalas, who had originally agreed to go out to get a drink, came in with nothing in his hands and just barged in with panic rarely written on his face in the past. "What on earth did you do?!"
"What's going on? Is Belial resurrected again or is Brutal fighting again?" Ash was puzzled by his performance. Wasn't you a pirate who was fearless in the past? What's going on?
"It's even scarier than that! You kid--" Just as he was talking, Gokai Cellular suddenly sounded, making Marbellas' face instantly filled with the word "save." "You kid brought it upon yourself, so go and see for yourself, I'll leave first!"
In a short time, the people who flocked to and surrounded Ash changed from good buddies who played games together to beautiful girls.
But in such a beautiful scenery, there is no fantasy or excitement. Only in a heavy environment like a black hole where even NT curses gravity and even light can be swallowed up, Ash is not happy at all.
"Do... what?"
After playing games all night, I was finally so tired that I fell asleep. Taxi and Zero just opened their eyes from the chair lying next to them. They felt a needle-like pressure going straight to their fatal points, and the direction the pressure came from... the sight of the smiling girls surrounding Ash after hearing the movement was more terrifying to them than a hundred "Bruton" or a thousand "Kamen Rider fifteen"!
"What are you doing...Ash don't you know?"
