Travel through the world of Pretty Cure filled with light

Upon hearing Mengcai's words, Guang, who was standing in front of Mengcai and the others with an excited expression, shook her head and subconsciously spoke up, "Speaking of parties, this is definitely a must, right? So that Thomas-kun can also enjoy it, let's all have a blast!"

As he spoke, he put the matching hood over his own head.

Watching Guang's actions, Prunus shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly, "I really don't understand Earthlings' sense of humor."

Just as Mengcai and the others were complaining about the outfits Guang had given them, Thomas's impatient voice came from his house, "I don't want to have any parties!"

Why are they arguing again? Hearing the noise, Mengcai and the others stopped their rants and quickly gathered at Elena's door to listen.

Inside the house, Elena's mother gently comforted Thomas, "I made lots of delicious food!"

Elena's father nodded in agreement, then looked at Thomas with a hint of helplessness. "Don't keep such a long face. Smile and let's all enjoy this!"

As he spoke, he started dancing with Elena's mother, with Elena clapping her hands as accompaniment, and Elena's other younger siblings did the same.

Upon hearing his parents' words, Thomas shook his head violently and instinctively cried out, "I don't want this! I want a normal family! I hate this kind of family the most, and I hate Mom and Dad the most too!"

What happened? Hearing Thomas say this, Elena's parents were clearly shocked by his words, never expecting him to say such a thing.

Seeing Thomas on the verge of collapse, Elena looked at him with a mixture of anger and worry, "Thoma!"

Just as Thomas was arguing with his family, Elena's other younger siblings were affected by the atmosphere and started crying. Hearing his siblings crying, Thomas himself couldn't help but cry too. He suddenly turned around and ran out without looking back.

"Hey, wait a minute, Thomas! Where are you going?!" Seeing Thomas turn and run, Elena's eyes widened, and she quickly followed Thomas out.

As soon as Elena rushed out, she saw Mengcai and the others, dressed in strange clothes, standing at the door of Elena's house.

With Mengcai and the others staring at her like that, Elena knew without a doubt that they already knew what had just happened.

Upon meeting Mengcai and the others, Elena turned her head away and sighed softly, "I'm sorry..."

Seeing Elena's growing anxiety, Hikaru raised an eyebrow and nodded firmly, "Go and bring Thomas back quickly."

"Okay!" Elena nodded and ran in the direction Thomas had gone.

Inside the house, Elena's father frowned and reassured his family, "Don't worry, Mom, you wait here for us."

With that, he rushed out to find Thomas.

Seeing that Elena and her father had set out, Mengcai and the others felt that Elena needed help, so they all set out to search for Thomas.

During their search for Thomas, Mengcai and Lala teamed up. After discussing it, they decided to look for Thomas in the woods near Stargazing Town, and Mengcai knew that Thomas was there...

Instead of taking the usual route, Lala came up with a terrible idea and dragged Mengcai through a thicket of trees as tall as a person.

Meanwhile, Prunes, who was on Lala's back, was hit several times by the branches and leaves, which made him a little annoyed. He complained in distress, "He won't be here."

“No!” Hearing Prins’ words, Meng Cai smiled slightly and subconsciously glanced at Prins behind Lala. “As the saying goes, don’t play by the rules. If we take the main road, Thomas will be hiding somewhere in the shadows. This is good, and it will be more efficient. This way, there is a great chance that we will run into Thomas.”

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Pruns pursed his lips and looked at Mengcai with some doubt. "Really?"

After walking for a while, Mengcai and Lala passed through the bushes and came to a small path.

As soon as they arrived at the path and stopped, Mengcai and Lala noticed that the bushes opposite them suddenly trembled, and then a person rushed out from them. This person had a gloomy face and seemed absent-minded.

Hey! Isn't that Thomas? Mengcai and Lala were both stunned for a moment upon seeing him, and exclaimed in surprise, "Found him (Lun)!"

Upon hearing Mengcai and Lala's voices, Thomas quickly looked up and saw that Mengcai and Lala were staring intently at him.

How did I run into her so soon after I came out! (Referring to Mengcai) Thomas was startled when he saw this. He quickly turned around and changed direction, running in the other direction.

"Hey!!!" Seeing Thomas trying to escape, Lala frowned and shouted anxiously, "Wait, Lun!"

With that, Lala increased her speed and sped after the fleeing Thomas.

Seeing that Lala was running faster than a race car, Mengcai was really shocked. She started to complain in her heart: When did Lala, who came from the planet Shaman (where people are too lazy to walk), become so fast? And faster than anyone else!

Thinking of this, Mengcai shook her head helplessly and started running herself to avoid losing Lala and Thomas.

Chapter 62 Heart-to-Heart Talk, Communication with Thomas

In order to catch up with Thomas, Mengcai and Lala chased him all the way into the depths of the forest.

This grove of trees contains many thick, large trees, some of which have roots that have already emerged above the ground. It is clear that this grove is older than Mengcai and Lala combined.

Lala chased after him and was about to catch up when she frowned, accelerated again, and prepared to sprint.

But she didn't expect that a thick tree root would suddenly appear in front of her, blocking her way. Because she was going too fast and didn't pay attention to the road conditions, she was tripped by the tree root and fell to the ground, her knees making intimate contact with the ground.

As the pain shot through her knee, Lala winced in pain, "It hurts so much!"

Despite the pain in her knee, Lala covered her injured knee with one hand and used the other to brush away the dirt from the wound and surrounding area.

Thomas, who was running frantically ahead, heard a sound behind him. He stopped and instinctively turned around, only to see Lala kneeling on the ground.

Seeing that Lala's knee was injured, Thomas hesitated for a moment before walking towards her.

Lala, who was tending to her wound, heard footsteps and quickly looked up. To her surprise, she saw Thomas standing in front of her, who seemed to want to help but also wanted to run away at any moment!

Seeing that Thomas had actually stopped, Lala was taken aback and thought to herself with surprise, "Huh? Wasn't he going to run away? Why is 25 back?"

Seeing Lala's puzzled expression, the kind-hearted Thomas hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out to help Lala up from the ground.

Looking at Thomas's outstretched hand, Lala finally understood his intention. She reached out and grabbed Thomas's hand, and with his help, she finally managed to stand up.

Just as Lala stood up, Mengcai, who was following behind her, arrived. Seeing Thomas and Lala stop in front of her, Mengcai was overjoyed and shouted happily, "Great! Thomas has finally stopped running away! Just like in the original story!"

Just as she was thinking this, Mengcai suddenly felt as if her foot had tripped over something. Before she could react, she was tripped by a thick tree root and rolled around on the ground several times before stopping.

Tripping over the tree root, Mengcai was momentarily dazed. Frowning, she lay on the ground, inwardly grumbling, "Oh dear~ how could I forget there were tree roots here! I was so careless!"

Lala and Thomas were shocked to see Mengcai rushing towards them at supersonic speed only to be tripped up by a tree root. They were stunned.

However, Mengcai didn't have the energy to care about Lala and Thomas anymore. At this moment, she started to complain in her heart, "It seems I can't run so fast anymore! I'll cause a 'car accident'!"

Just as Mengcai was mentally criticizing herself, she was also struggling in pain to stand up, but as soon as she straightened up, the pain from her injuries caused her to fall to the ground again.

Uh... that was quite a hard fall. Lala and Thomas exchanged a glance, then quickly went over and helped Mengcai up from the ground.

After helping Mengcai up, Lala and the other two helped each other to a resting place and sat down on a long bench.

Mengcai fell hard and couldn't even walk. Seeing Lala and Thomas's worried eyes, Mengcai could only force a smile and subconsciously looked at Lala and Thomas, "It's okay, I'll be fine in a while."

That's right, Mengcai is an unkillable cockroach, this is a small matter!

Hearing Mengcai's reply, Lala breathed a sigh of relief and began to treat her wounds.

Thomas, sitting between Mengcai and Lala, kept his head down while they tended to their wounds, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing that the two people who had been chasing him were injured, he couldn't help but glance at them and asked with some concern, "Are you two alright?"

Hearing Thomas's words, Lala subconsciously shook her head, "It's okay, Lun."

Hearing Lala's words, Mengcai, who had been tending to her wounds, looked up and glanced at Thomas with a hint of helplessness. "Everyone is worried about you."

"Lun!" Lala nodded in agreement, glancing at Thomas instinctively. "Mengcai is right, let's go back together, Lun?"

Faced with Mengcai and Lala's questions, Thomas didn't answer immediately. He first looked at Mengcai with a puzzled expression and began to complain, "Then why did you become like this?" (He seemed a little awkward looking at Mengcai.)

Huh?! Hearing Thomas say that, Mengcai's lips twitched, and she said helplessly, "Uh... well... let's talk about my matter next time, next time..."

Seeing Mengcai interrupt, Thomas didn't press the matter (he had already accepted her, but just wanted to ask). He then turned to Lala, looking at her with a puzzled expression, "Speaking of which, what is 'Lun'?"

Upon hearing Thomas's words, Lala blinked, paused for a moment, and looked at Thomas with some confusion, "Len?" (subconsciously)

Sure enough! Upon hearing this, Thomas frowned and complained with some confusion, "Since just now, you've been saying 'something something Lun'."

Upon hearing Thomas's words, Lala's eyebrows instantly furrowed, and she looked at Thomas with delight, "'Lun' is 'Lun' Lun, on our planet..."

Just as Lala finished speaking, Mengcai, who was standing next to her, glared at her and quickly coughed to remind Lala.

Distracted by Mengcai, Lala realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself, "Oh no, in my homeland, everyone says it like that."

Hmm…I see. Thomas pondered for a moment, then asked, “Sister, are you from abroad?”

“That’s right, Lun!” Lala nodded upon hearing this, and subconsciously glanced at Thomas. “That’s right, Lun. I’m from Shamanlun.”

"Shaman?" Thomas frowned upon hearing this, and asked with some doubt, "I've never heard of the country of Shaman."

Uh… Lala paused for a moment, then quickly explained, “It’s… a country called Lun that’s very far away from here.”

Faraway countries… Thomas lowered his head and thought for a moment, then muttered to himself, “Hey, do parents in Shaman hold hands or dance together or something?”

Hearing Thomas's words, Lala smiled and shook her head, "We don't hold hands where we're from, but we touch each other's horns."

Uh... something feels off. Seeing this, Mengcai quickly coughed again (with Mengcai next to him, Prunes didn't need to remind Lala).

But Mengcai's reminder came a little too late. Upon hearing the word "tentacles," Thomas paused for a moment, then looked at Lala with some confusion, "Huh? What's that?"

Oh dear! Oh no! Only after Thomas said that did Lala realize what was happening. She had no choice but to explain to Thomas, "People who are...close friends will stick their antennae hair ornaments tightly together. You see, that's how it is."

As he spoke, he picked up his own tentacles, pressed them against his face, and demonstrated, "Then, it will perform the Tentacle Dance, like this..."

Lala placed her tentacles against Thomas's hand. Only when her tentacles touched Thomas's hand did Lala stand up and use her tentacles to forcibly pull Thomas up from the chair.

Then, Lala used her tentacles to pull Thomas's hand and made all sorts of movements.

After Lala's actions, Thomas tilted his head in confusion and began to complain, "How strange."

Hearing Thomas's remarks, Lala smiled calmly and glanced at Thomas subconsciously. "In my opinion, people without tentacles are the strange ones."

It's strange that a person doesn't have tentacles? Thomas was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Lala glanced at the stunned Thomas, her smile unchanged, and continued, "So far, I've been to many stars... no, I've traveled to many countries and even to London."

As she spoke, Lala recalled the planets she and Guang had visited together in their search for the Princess Star Pen, and the interactions they had with the creatures (or rather, the native inhabitants) of those planets. So, Lala frowned and murmured to herself with great seriousness, "Everyone is different. But, no one is strange."
