The girl who didn't even wipe the cream off the corners of her mouth was really unconvincing.

"No, I've already told you, right? This cake is a reward for protecting this world before Mana arrived."

Because of this, I had the opportunity to fight them after coming to this world. Thinking about this, I really have to thank this elementary school student in front of me.

Aguri stared at Ash with a somewhat suspicious expression. Although he wanted to find evidence from his face that he had other thoughts, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that this man had no intention of lying.

It's so weird... It's too weird. Although I have fought voluntarily to protect the world in the past and have never asked for any substantial material rewards, my contribution to protecting the world was actually rewarded by a villain.

An absurd and strange feeling began to spread from her chest, and the feeling of her heart beating so fast made Aguri couldn't help but cover her heart. She seemed to understand why the four Pretty Cures were helpless against this man.

"But...if one day you seriously appear as an enemy, Pretty Cure will still defeat you!"

"You can come at that time."

Whether as an enemy or as a friend, this person is so difficult to deal with that I don’t know how to deal with him!

"Oh, here comes the interesting thing."

Ash's sudden voice startled the girl. Aguri followed his gaze and saw a masked man wearing a baseball cap, holding a bag, crawling out from a corner in a sneaky and nervous manner.

"This is....?"

"Catch the robber!"

A loud shout startled the passers-by. Behind the masked man, a heavily made-up middle-aged woman was pointing at the man breathlessly. Her limping steps made her fall far behind. The culprit that slowed down her speed was the broken high heels on her feet.

When the passersby heard the robber, they immediately showed some fear on their faces. The robber who was yelled at also quickened his escape speed. Unfortunately, there were no patrol police around, and the old lady could not catch up with him because of her heels.

Seeing that the robber was about to run away, Aguri pushed the chair away and tried to stop him, but faster than her, an equally small figure stood in front of the robber.

“STOP——!”

“Who are you?!”

The thief, who didn't expect to be stopped, was so scared that he fell to the ground. When he quickly got up, he saw that it was a girl who was at most an elementary school student who stopped him.

"You're just an elementary school student, get out of the way!"

The robber didn't expect that he would be scared by a primary school student. The feeling of humiliation filled his whole body. The angry robber yelled at the child who was half a body shorter than him in a rough tone.

"Ah..." The elementary school girl who was yelled at trembled all over, her legs and feet shaking as if she wanted to run away, but she still stood firmly in place and pointed at the robber and said.

"I'm not an elementary school student! I'm also a member of Precure. That's right, I'm the Cure Queen who fills my body with courage!"

"Precure?!"

Not only the robbers who seemed to be frightened, but even Aguri, who used to be the real Pretty Cure, was surprised when she read out the name. She didn't remember any Pretty Cure with this battle name.

I took a closer look at this person's face. Oh my god, isn't this someone I know?!

"Ruri-chan?"

"Oh, is this someone you know?"

Ash appeared beside him unknowingly. Aguri, who was almost used to it, glanced at him and answered the question.

"Well, she's my companion, Sasaki Ruri. Why, is she also a Pretty Cure?"

Ash narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the elementary school student's classmate. She seemed to be wearing elbow protectors that came with a children's bicycle, a toy plastic helmet on her head, and a somewhat messy combat skirt on her body. It looked like the result of a dog-eat-dog-level effort by an elementary school student with scissors.

"There's no such thing as a Pretty Cure! What? It turns out to be a Delusional Warrior."

Chapter 71: The Delusionary Warrior

To put it simply, a delusional warrior is an ordinary person who, after seeing a real hero, puts on a cosplay-level costume of his own making, claims to be a hero and joins the battle.

In fact, whether in the world of knights or teams, there are many people with a middle school atmosphere and extremely active behavior. The "Taiyaki Knight" created by a certain undead beast is such a thing.

Compared to genuine warriors with different actual situations, these delusional warriors usually have no abilities, and the so-called transformations on their bodies are only at the level of paper armor. They are just the product of some ordinary people's desires but lack of abilities. Generally speaking, they are useless except for being funny.

"But..."

Looking at the purple-haired girl wearing protective gear, Ash couldn't help but sigh that today's delusional warriors are no good. The last time he saw her, she was at least wearing a motorcycle helmet and a leather suit, which was much better than this.

Delusions cannot come true unless they are serious delusions.

"Delusion Warrior? Are you saying that Ruri-chan is dressing up as Pretty Cure?"

"Ha, Madoka, do you think this is true?"

After hearing what Aguri said, it was Ash's turn to be dumbfounded.

While they were still talking, another elementary school student had already mustered up the courage to rush forward and hug the robber's thigh.

"You are not allowed to steal other people's things, ah!"

“Qi…!”

Seeing the little brat who called himself Precure holding his thigh tightly, the robber made up his mind and used a little strength to push the girl aside amidst her screams.

Just as he was about to continue escaping along the planned route, another figure blocked his way.

"Give me a moment!"

Aguri opened his arms and stood in front of him without hesitation.

"Another brat!?"

Mr. Robber's expression under the mask gradually twisted. He didn't expect that he would be stopped by other people twice during the golden opportunity he specially chose when the police patrolled the block and changed shifts. Moreover, both times the people who stopped him were elementary school students!

He is not alone at this moment, all the unlucky thieves and robbers, the spirit of the Phantom Team and the founder Ram are with this robber!

"drink--!"

A ball of energy suddenly flew out from behind Aguri, and the ball, the size of a ping-pong ball, hit the robber right in the heart. The unsuspecting robber screamed and flew out in a funny way. He fell buttocks into a trash can on the side of the road, and then his eyes turned into mosquito coils and he fainted.

"Ruri-chan?"

Aguri looked back in disbelief. The fake Precure raised his hand and pointed it at the robber's original position. It was obvious who had sent out this energy ball.

Surprise, excitement, desire, fear, all kinds of expressions surged on the face of this elementary school student.

Ash also narrowed his eyes. This delusional warrior...seems to be more than just a delusion?

"D-did it!"

Looking at her palm in a daze, after confirming that she had indeed defeated the enemy, Liuli cheered and jumped for joy. At this time, she also noticed her acquaintance Aguri standing beside her, and hurriedly waved her hand and came over.

"Aguri, did you see that? I did it!"

"I really became a Precure!"

Ordinary elementary school students can't do this. Is Liuli really the new Pretty Cure?

Strange things, strange developments. Aguri, who had not expected to see such a thing, frowned and instinctively felt that something was wrong with this matter!

"What do you think...?"

Aguri originally wanted to discuss something with Ash, but when he turned around, the person was gone. There was no figure around and he didn't know where the person had hidden.

Hey, you're Kamen Rider, not Batman, so what's with this ability to turn your head and disappear?!

There was no other way, so Aguri had to try to solve the mystery on his own.

The proud elementary school student in front of him, who called himself the new "Precure", was indeed an acquaintance of Madoka Akuri.

Her real name is Sasaki Ruri, and she is also Aguri's classmate. Because she is timid and timid, she always makes a fool of herself during physical education classes or other activities that require physical exercise, which leads to her being often teased by some of the more naughty students in the class.

Elementary school students usually don't have such complicated thoughts. They just laugh when they see others make a fool of themselves, without considering the victim's inner feelings. So Aguri took the initiative to stand up for her and lectured those students so that they would stop teasing Ruri.

"Liuli-chan, what is this power?"

"Hmm, that's some amazing power!" As if not noticing the worry in Aguri's eyes, Ruri took off her plastic helmet, her eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement. She was like someone who had just found a prize in a snack bag and was happily showing it off to her best friend.

"I just beat up a thief who stole someone's bag. BIU—I beat him up in one go. Now I'm a warrior of justice, a hero!"

"Liuli, can you tell me what's going on?"

Under Aguri's repeated questioning, although Liuli was a little hesitant, she finally told her story haltingly.

It turned out that although Aguri stood up to speak for her after being bullied, and the class soon forgot about her embarrassing incident, she knew in her heart that if she could not change her timid personality, she would make a fool of herself again next time, and even if no one made fun of her, she would feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes, the person who is least able to forgive yourself is yourself!

But as a naturally timid elementary school student, Liuli really did not have the courage to change. When the girl was alone at home and distressed, she accidentally saw a report about the urban legend of "Pretty Cure" on TV.

Seeing the Pretty Cure on TV, who was fighting against the selfish monster in secret, and was strong, beautiful, gentle, and always protecting everyone, Liuli fell into a sincere admiration.

“So handsome… so beautiful…!”

If I also call myself Pretty Cure, will I also gain courage?

So the girl put on her homemade battle suit, made up a fake battle name, and decided to start with small things, such as helping an old lady cross the street or helping carry things.

"As a result, I couldn't even do this at that time..." Her voice was a little bitter when she said this. She was just an elementary school student and sometimes she couldn't even help others carry things. Her weak physical strength and timidity made her want to do something but not be able to do it.

Although passersby did not make fun of her, but only gave kind smiles to this strange and enthusiastic elementary school student, Liuli found such smiles particularly glaring.

“But then there was a turning point!”

"I met a strange man who gave me a bead and said that if I did that, I would gain powers beyond those of humans and I could become a Pretty Cure!"

Liuli took out a glass bead from her pocket. The pattern inside the bead was pitch black, as if it was hiding something.

Someone must have been playing tricks on her! Seeing the glass bead, Aguri frowned. She found it hard to imagine who could have done such a thing, deceiving Liuli, who wanted to be a hero!

Could it be that person... or someone from some other selfish organization?

"With the power of a hero, no one will look down on me anymore. I will make everyone look at me with new eyes!"

After defeating the robber, her heart was filled with a sudden sense of satisfaction, and even all her original fear disappeared, but Aguri only felt that her friend had become a stranger.

Seventy-second: Ash is just watching

"Liuli, is this what you think now?"

"What's wrong with this?!"

Liuli retorted without showing any weakness, with a hint of gunpowder in her tone.

Aguri felt more and more uneasy. Although the Sasaki Ruri she knew was a little cowardly, she was indeed a good girl who was very gentle to everyone and could think for others. From her self-description, it seemed that she cosplayed as Pretty Cure with the intention of helping others in the beginning.

But now, she is so arrogant, complacent and self-centered, which is completely different from the Liuli I know.

"So, what do you want to do after you gain this power?"

"After that... oh yeah, I'm going to defeat more bad guys and those selfish monsters and surprise my classmates, even my teachers and my parents!"

This is even more wrong. Liuli is definitely not someone who likes fighting or hurting others!

and.....

"Liuli, do you really understand? Strength is not simply used to show off one's greatness, and heroes don't fight just to show off!"

Aguri stared at the bead, his teeth itching with anger.

It turned out that this strange thing affected Liuli!

"You're not qualified to be a Pretty Cure!"

When Liuli heard what her friend said, which she originally agreed with, she was stunned and her expression became very embarrassed.

"Liuli, you have no idea what it takes to be a warrior. Throw that thing away quickly! You've definitely been tricked by that person!"

Seeing Aguri's gaze, Liuli hurriedly stuffed the beads into her pocket.

"W-what?! You sound so nice, but it's obvious to me that you're jealous of me, Aguri, and you want this bead!"

"You, how can you say that!"

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? I think you are the selfish one!"

Looking at the two elementary school students who had started quarreling on the ground, Ash couldn't help but sigh.

"A self-righteous fool versus another self-righteous fool, what a classic."

I always feel like I have seen similar scenes ten or even nine times in other worlds.

In fact, Ash sensed something was wrong the moment Liuli made her move. As someone whose mission is to collect echoes of darkness, he possesses an extraordinary sense of the power of darkness.

However, Ash was too lazy to play pranks with elementary school students to find the truth. He chose to follow the dark power to find the source by himself. Rather than solving problems, he was better at solving people who caused problems.
