Why is this the same trick again? I’ve been caught taking the blame for similar things several times. Please spare me.

"What—have you thought of getting married?"

It's no wonder that the Aida couple were so shocked and screaming. In fact, Mana's attitude towards Ash is the big problem, especially what she is doing now, which makes the couple worry about him.

On the other side, another similar thing was happening.

"Including this, wow~ it's just too much."

Putting the things in her hands onto the big truck owned by the Yotsuba family, Ai waved to Arisu who had just put down the work in his hands.

"I'm really troublesome this time, Arisu."

"No, I'm happy to help Ai and Ash." Arisu maintained her usual elegant smile. The old butler, Sebastian, beside her, bowed and touched his chest to express his loyalty. "The young lady's will is my will."

"There are also people here who are not so happy, Mana." Putting down the last thing in her hand, Rika pouted slightly, and her dissatisfaction was about to overflow from her face.

With the look in his eyes behind the glasses, he almost blurted out, "What about me?"

"I won't ignore Rikka like before." Mana, already accustomed to the new way of getting along, immediately returned to her upset friend and tried to coax her out of her frustration. "Rikka is my first and best friend. In that respect, no one can compare."

"Hmph." Although it was a somewhat dissatisfied snort, the angle of Liuhua's mouth still revealed her true thoughts.

"Ahem, I'm not jealous. I'm worried about something else." Realizing that she was almost loved easily again, Rika coughed twice and immediately turned the topic back to the question she wanted to ask.

"What are Mana's feelings for Ash?"

"I like him."

He answered without hesitation, but then there were a few more sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground nearby.

"?"

Ai looked over there with a normal expression, not feeling that there was anything wrong.

"Mana, how about you think about it a little longer?"

“No matter how many times I think about it, it’s always like this.”

It's the same this time. I finally reached a reconciliation with Ash, so I care about him even more.

Ai tilted her head, confused as to what was going on with her current friend being so weird.

"Mana, that's not what I meant." Rikka couldn't help it and put her hand on her forehead.

"You have no problem saying this to me, Makoto, Arisu, Regina, or Aguri, but it's a problem for Ash!"

"Hey, why?"

"Why else? Because you're a girl, Mana, and Ash is a man!"

It's a man!

Man!

Ah!

.......

In an instant, two bright blushes covered her entire cheeks, her eyes kept flashing with a strange chaotic light, and even her mouth couldn't help but open in surprise. Ai Aida shyly covered her hot face with her hands, and hot steam rose from her head.

When love overflows, the girl's heart begins to beat fast.

“Ah, this…!”

"I'm still a student, and I'm not a good influence on everyone! Well... a little bit, I still..."

"I don't hate it...but it really can't be done——this!"

Finally, under the gaze of the other girls, Ai, who covered her face and dared not let go, made a humming sound as thin as a mosquito's buzz.

"I don't know about this kind of thing..."

Chapter 160: Mana's Preemptive Strikes

"Alas... maybe we are old and can't keep up with the times."

"You can't say that, husband. Think about the request your daughter made to us earlier. Mana is serious about it. As long as she is happy, we as parents should just bless her."

"What a lucky boy!"

Looking at the couple's backs, which had inexplicably become somewhat desolate, Ash was confused for a moment.

"So, what does this have to do with Mana? Could it be that..."

Thinking of what Kentaro had said to him before, Ash's forehead lit up, and a crackling flash of lightning appeared, as if he had figured something out.

Although he usually wouldn't think about it in that direction, he wasn't a 1000% fool. Under the couple's overt and covert hints, he at least took out his love brain, which he might not use in 20,000 years, and started thinking.

Could it be that they misunderstood that I was planning to marry Mana, and misunderstood my previous excuses to them as an excuse for us to actually be in love?

What? Just for this little thing——wait…

He began to think carefully about how Mana and he interacted. Not to mention holding hands, they had hugged a few times, and there were many times when they exchanged those cheesy words between male and female protagonists.

Thinking carefully about what happened between her and him, Mana clearly expressed her concern for him. It was also the first time for him to open his heart to someone else in this world. There should be no barriers between two people who understand each other.

Um......

He casually pulled out a silver soup spoon from the cutlery box at the front desk. Seeing the words "Mana Only" written on it, Ash absentmindedly tapped it with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

When I close my eyes, I can see the heart-warming smiles and frowns of Ai Aida and Cure Heart unfolding before me.

"Ash~!"

Cough!

"I am a man after all...what am I doing?"

Slapping his cheeks hard to calm his trembling heart, Ash turned around and opened the door to leave.

"Don't be so anxious."

The sudden voice in front of him made Ash stunned. He pushed open the door and saw Ai walking in with bags of things. The things in her hands looked particularly familiar.

"That one's mine!"

The cardboard box on top of the pile in Ai’s hand is the DX Strong Dragon God that he just received!

Several other young girls also came in one after another, carrying boxes. As expected, they were all their things.

"Really?"

You are moving here, and you are moving to my house!

"Because Mana is the type who immediately takes action when she thinks of something."

Putting down the box containing several identical coats belonging to the man, Arisu began to ask his butler to unload more things.

"How did you get into my house?"

Liuhua shook the spare key in her hand and smiled without saying anything.

"Ash is no longer a member of the Selfish Organization, right?" Ai confidently put her hands on her hips and said with a proud look on her face, "Also, Ash suddenly fainted earlier. If no one takes care of him, something bad will happen. So, in order to avoid any bad things from happening, and as a partner of Pretty Cure!"

"It's better for Ash to live here than to be alone. He can see us more often."

"You guys, are you serious?!"

Every time Ash thought she had stopped, she would always come up with something new to do for him, right?

"Of course I'm serious. My Pigtail Pavilion is not only a restaurant, but also a place for accommodation! And the guest room hasn't been occupied for a long time. I can clean the room and Ash can move in."

"That's not what I'm talking about..."

"Isn't this great!" Regina, who had been living with Ai for a while, started to cheer. "Come on, it's never boring when you're with Mana, and it would be even more fun if Ash came too!"

"You... Hey, as friends, you should all speak up for her, or she'll make a scene sooner or later!"

Just as Ash was about to ask the others for help, the girls all turned their heads away.

"Ah, isn't this good too?" Arisu took the black tea handed to him by the butler and took a sip elegantly.

"You won't really do anything anyway. Since it's very safe, then the result will be good too." With a wicked smile, Makoto was happy to see Ash being frustrated.

"I think it's pretty good, isn't it? You should be so happy that you got such a good deal." Aguri took out the high-end snacks that Ai had prepared for her and enjoyed them happily.

"Isn't it pretty good?" The last person was a blue-haired woman who made people feel inexplicably stressed. She supported her face with one hand and looked at Ash with a flawless smile.

“You guys…”

So, what's my opinion?

"From today on, this is your home!"

"I'm telling you." He raised his hand to hide his expression, then tapped his forehead with his fingers, making a crisp sound. "Is there really such a level of trust between us?"

"Isn't there any?"

Ai asked back as if it was a matter of course and sank the Ash.

"You...I finally understand why you attract so many people."

Although Ai Zhen's work is too showy, his heart is indeed sincere enough.

He is such a self-righteous guy, yet he is impossible to refuse.

"It's too late to understand now, Mr. Ash~" Everyone was amused by Ash's serious speech.

"Now that you're on this pirate ship, don't even think about getting away~!"

Rikka couldn't help but laugh out loud. She raised her elbow and poked Mana's soft spot, deliberately shouting, "Then let's interview Aida Ai. Now that you're facing this, what do you have to say about your previous excuses?"

“This, this is not…!”

Ai, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly opened her eyes wide, her face turned red, and she gestured frantically.

"I'm doing this all for his own good!"

"Are you sure you didn't abuse your power for personal gain?"

Ai, with a hot face and dizzy head, who was about to faint, argued, "I'm just helping others...!... Can the affairs of the student council president be considered as abusing power for personal gain?!" Then she said something difficult to understand, such as "My power as the student council president is unlimited!" and "We must strike hard at the wood!", which made everyone laugh: the store was filled with a happy atmosphere, and only Ash, who didn't get the joke, felt like an outsider.

"You guys, hahaha, this is so funny!" She just laughed out loud. Ash, whose opinion was ignored, also ignored her opinion. He pulled the girl into his arms and kept punching her head to punish her. Listening to Ai's "screams", Ash was particularly happy.

"Have you packed my luggage for me?"

Chapter 161 Please Don’t Break This Moment

Ai, who had volunteered to help Ash put the last collection on the top of the bookcase, was now exhausted and sweating profusely, lying relaxed on the bed beside him.

"Hey, that's my bed. It will be messy if you sleep on it."

It was Ai who had made the bed for him, but when he saw her lying on it panting, Ash immediately turned against her with a look of disgust.

"What's the problem? It won't get dirty~"

“It’s related.”

Sitting up from the bed reluctantly, Ai saw Ash sitting on the table fiddling with toys and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Ash, it was really suitable for you to be the boss of the selfish organization before."

"Huh, I'm really good."

"I didn't praise you anymore."

Helplessly, he walked to Ash's side, picked up a toy he had placed beside him, and imitated the toy commercials he had seen on TV. He gently opened the slides on both sides and pulled the trigger.

"[Ultra Materialize]!"

"I've been wanting to say this before." It was her first time handling this boyish toy, and Ai continued to fiddle with it with great interest. "Ash is such a grown-up, yet he's still so childish."

A large part of the luggage that was moved in was filled with toys, including various DX transformation props, toy weapons, robots, gyroscopes, etc. There were also a lot of BD discs and tapes, which were either special effects films or robot animations. She even saw magical girl-themed DVDs in them.

It can be said that Ash, this guy who actually "never grows up", has almost destroyed her vision of becoming mature in the future.

"I'd love to." Putting down the toy in his hand, Ash crossed his hands under his chin and answered seriously.

"I'm different from those 'traitors' who loved something so much as a child, but turned away from it as an adult in pursuit of so-called 'maturity'."
