Picking up a volume at random, Ash didn't have much appreciation for movies. Compared to those high-quality art films with an O-rated score of 9.0, Ash said that the simplicity and directness of popcorn movies and suit wars were more suitable for him.

"These aren't movies, Rachel!" Using her elven intuition, Rachel immediately realized what these so-called film reels actually were. "These are the memories of those living people who were absorbed! They transform their memories into film reels, then trap them in their own beautiful memories, preventing them from ever waking up again, Rachel!"

Ash turned over the film in his hand and found someone's name written on it as expected.

"I see, getting lost in fond memories... isn't that like getting high on Chijera?"

Ash cast his gaze towards his inventory, where a small, vibrant Chijera lay quietly deep within.

"If that's the case, there might be quite a few people who won't want to be awakened, and might even blame us?"

"Hey, who wouldn't want to wake up, Lance?"

The elves who were searching for the film stopped. They couldn't understand why such a person would exist.

Before Ash could explain, Bellulu, who was also searching for the film above him, explained, "Everyone has their ups and downs in real life. At times like these, they tend to hide in the memories of past happiness rather than face reality."

Not to mention how happy it is to always live in the past time that you miss.

Ash nodded, he was surprised that this elf didn't look so naive.

"Everyone feels this way, it's normal. But no matter how wonderful the past was, we have to face the present reality. Only then can we embrace a future with infinite possibilities, right?"

"I don't know about that." Ash pulled out a roll of film, saw the wrong name on it, shook his head, and returned it. "I don't have any expectations for the future. I just live one day at a time."

Although he said so, Ash was still optimistic that the people in this world could escape the beautiful trap. After all, the per capita moral level and quality in the world of Pretty Cure were truly utopian. If Tiga fought monsters in such a world, perhaps the plans of the Kirieloids would not be able to be implemented at all, and they could borrow light every day to activate the shining mode.

One man and five elves continued to search for the film. Knowing that they had to hurry, they stopped talking. The only sound in the whole room was the faint sounds of rummaging.

"Ash, what do you think of that kid Mana?"

Ash paused. He didn't expect that Bellulu, the elf who suddenly appeared, would talk to him, and the topic was about love.

"Aida Ai? She's an idiot, just like Ikki, a meddler who always likes to meddle in other people's affairs. She's also an idiot who thinks the world revolves around her and is completely lost in the warmth of friendship," Ash continued. "But I think she's learned her lesson from this last point, otherwise she'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."

"She's a girl who gets back up even after setbacks, even though your methods are terrible." Bellulu shook her head and pressed on, "Not only that, but what about Mana's other strengths as a girl?"

"What do you mean by 'being a girl? I'm a man, how am I supposed to understand this?'" Ash, the senior, scratched his head, confused, not understanding what she meant. "You mean in terms of appearance? Yeah, that's true. Mana is beautiful, indeed. Even without the suit covering her face, she's even more beautiful as a Pretty Cure. She's prettier than 80% of the people I've met."

"It's fun to be with her, who brings life to the surroundings like a sunflower, right?"

"probably."

"do you like her?"

"Of course I like them. I'd rather say I like all Pretty Cure!"

When you are about to get sick of dealing with all kinds of suit characters, you will like these beautiful and capable little girls who are completely different from the previous heroes and suddenly appear!

After honestly expressing his simple thoughts, Ash blinked, not understanding what she meant by smiling at him.

What else could it mean? Faced with Ash's "DD" remarks, Bellulu was furious.

"Snapped!"

The huge ear suddenly slapped Ash in the face. Although it didn't hurt, he still looked at her in confusion and waited for an explanation.

"Although it's not my place as an old man to meddle in children's affairs," Bellulu said, looking directly into Ash's eyes, a look of disappointment and relief in her eyes. "But for a man, expressing your feelings by bullying a girl is a bit too much, even if it's just to attract her attention."

"ha--?!"

Ash was immediately unhappy.

What do you mean? What do you mean by using bullying to attract attention? Who do you think I am? Am I the elementary school boy who put notes on the table in front of you in elementary school?

"No, there's no film of love for them in these films."

An elf with a tired face floated over and interrupted Ash who was about to attack.

Just as he was considering whether to summon a carrot here to use the "Whale Killing Punch" to dismantle the whale from the inside, a strange voice came from the other end.

"Are you looking for them?"

What's going on? This feeling of déjà vu seems to have happened countless times.

The surrounding environment split apart and faded away. As the plates beneath his feet changed alternately, Ash and the elves appeared in a place that looked like a ship's bridge.

Standing up in front of them and facing Ash was none other than the Forsaken King here - Matthew.

"Welcome to my world, elves, Bellulu, and then-"

Ash raised an eyebrow, and could sense the other party's anger towards him without even paying special attention.

You are the same as that Bellulu. How come I don’t recognize you, but you all recognize me?

Although he didn't remember when he had offended this white-haired man, Ash still decided to respond to the other party's attitude towards him in his own way.

"Yo."

Ash replied in a very frivolous way, and the effect was obvious, making Matthew even angrier.

"Ash!"

Chapter 136 Sixth Grade Ash

"Ash!"

"Don't shout so loudly, we're not that familiar with each other."

As the only person with fighting ability present, Ash stepped forward alone to stand in front of these elves, ready to fight at any time.

Facing Matthew's raging anger, Ash tilted his head.

"Do you know how evil you've done?!"

"I don't know, because I don't even know you." Ash shrugged indifferently, remembering that Bellulu seemed to know the Forgotten King, so he looked at her inquiringly.

"Because you did such a cruel thing to Mana, it's normal for him to be angry with you."

Tsk, when I did that in the past, it wasn't too much of a stretch, right? At most, I'd be beaten half to death by the awakened heroes.

In fact, after knowing what Ash had done, if he had not suffered retribution some time ago, even Bellulu would have been unable to resist the urge to take action.

"That's right, you actually forced suffering on Mana for your own ugly desires, making her endure pain that she shouldn't have!" Matthew's shoulders trembled slightly. He struggled to resist the urge to attack Ash, and the anger in his eyes almost burned through the blindfold.

"I won't agree with a jerk like you!"

"Why are you all asking about her? What's the matter with you all acquaintances?"

Let's put aside Matthew's resentment towards Ash for now. What Ash found strange was another thing. Bellulu talked to him about a lot of issues about the pros and cons of the girl named Ai Aida. Even Matthew, the enemy leader, was angry with him because of what happened to Ai Aida.

Although Ash had already expressed his admiration for the wide range of love friends once before, he now wanted to express it again and double emphasize it.

"You should know that she is a girl that is easy to like."

"Huh, do you think I'll tell you everything?"

Good man, you all act like Riddlers, right?

"So, you're standing on the moral high ground, pointing fingers at me, Mr. Villain, and you're not afraid of the wind blowing from the mountaintop." Ash provoked Matthew with his usual scoundrel air, further tempting his anger. "You're angry about what happened to the little girl, but you don't seem to be doing anything to uphold justice as a righteous partner. In fact, I think you're even worse than me when it comes to making everyone dream together."

"Hmph, then just watch!"

Matthew pressed the camera beside him, and the film on the camera began to roll up. The picture projected from the lens was the appearance of Pretty Cure.

"Mana!"

"Rikka!"

"Arisu! Can't you hear us?"

The elf hiding behind saw the images of his partners and immediately stuck his head out and kept calling their names. However, because of the screen, the people on the other side of the screen naturally could not hear the voices of the people outside the screen.

Everyone is immersed in a past where there is no sadness or suffering, only happiness.

Kenzaki Makoto became the new Pretty Cure of the Poker Kingdom, and the princess she respected personally placed the medal on her.

Yotsuba Arisu is with his father. The president, who has been away from home for work all year round, returned home for the first time today and kissed his family, because he knows that no matter how much money he makes, it is not as important as the person he loves the most.

Hishikawa Rikka's parents were present today to listen to their daughter's public performance in the school auditorium. When the piano piece ended, the entire audience burst into applause. Looking at her father and mother applauding and their smiles of recognition, Rikka felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

As for love...love that is lost and regained will make those who truly care about the past lose their minds.

"What's wrong? You're such a spoiled child."

"Wangwang!"

Hugging Marlowe and his grandmother together, Ai was unwilling to let go. She was afraid that once she let go, she would wake up from the crib, and everything she loved would disappear.

"People will always encounter unavoidable pain as they grow. In order to make them grow faster, you have inflicted exponentially more pain on them. Do you see? You and I are different!"

Excited Matthew turned around and pointed at the girls on the screen, where they were all laughing happily.

"How about it? Did you see their happy faces?!"

"Ah, I saw it."

Ash is not blind, of course he can tell whether the girls' faces are truly happy or just pretending to be happy.

But Ash was neither upset about this matter nor happy for them. Ash just stood there indifferently, watching without any sadness or joy.

"Forget all the pain that happened in reality and live forever in memories."

"There's nothing happier than this."

"Is that all you want to say?"

Ash's calm voice overwhelmed Matthew who was passionately preaching his ideas.

"what?"

"Honestly, I don't care about future pain or past joy. After all, whether they are happy or sad is their business. What does it have to do with me?"

tread.

tread--

The sound of Ash's soles hitting the steel plates echoed throughout the room.

Ash walked up to Matthew under his gaze, and stared directly into his shielded eyes with his dark pupils.

"And after that, more importantly, they owed me an answer to a question."

I am really looking forward to what kind of answers they will give me. I can't let you intercept the infinite possibilities they can show me.

"With you only thinking about your own self-centeredness—"

"I didn't ask you. You can't represent them, and you have no right to take away their right to answer."

"Besides, whether it's happiness or misfortune, the definition of this experience is something only they can decide, right? In that case—"

Ash suddenly attacked and pushed Matthew away, releasing the elf hidden behind him. He raised his ankle and hooked it, spinning on the spot to create a whirlwind that shot the elf out. Xia Lulu and the others flew into the memories of their partners respectively.

"you--!"

Ash is 100% convinced that the happiness of the past cannot trap them in the present.

"Just let them tell you their own answers!"

Matthew was furious and immediately arranged for his men to go into the memories to intercept. If they failed to intercept, they would defeat all the Pretty Cure except Ai to avoid any further complications.

Faced with Ash who repeatedly ruined his plans, Matthew could no longer tolerate it and shot a ray of light at him.

"That sounds so nice, why don't you just immerse yourself in your own memories!"

"come."

After throwing Bellulu aside, Ash took the ray of light head-on without dodging or avoiding, until Ash was completely turned into a film lying on the ground bit by bit. Matthew still found it hard to believe that Ash, his biggest enemy, was solved so easily.

"Well, no matter what tricks you can pull, you can't achieve anything if you live in the past."

Although he said this, to be on the safe side, Matthew picked up Ash's film and put it on the same projector as the one that loved them, ready to see what was going on with this guy.

Ash's spirit seemed to sink into the void of death again, but this time it was only for a moment, and a powerful force pulled him away.

"Ah——"

Who, who are you calling?

"Ash—!"

Ash? Who is Ash? Me? Are you calling me? Is my name Ash?

"Hey, the teacher is calling you!"
