The transformed girl glared at the culprit, Spider Cargill, and was glared back at by the spider without showing any weakness.

"Humph, this guy is a baby who hasn't been weaned yet. He wants his master to teach him a lesson. How shameful."

"You actually took advantage of the boy's desire to apologize. Such a thing—"

"I can't forgive you!"

Lei and Erika are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The desert monster swung the plaque in his hand as a weapon, smashing the place where the girl was standing to pieces. However, the two girls had already circled his arms, one on the left and one on the right. Two angry shouts rang out at the same time, and the whip kicks they kicked out at the same time instantly knocked the huge desert monster over.

Erika's actions were no longer as casual as before; they became more skillful. Lei, initially timid and easily frightened by the enemy, now dared to proactively attack them. Furthermore, they had always fought in pairs, and their coordination had become increasingly sophisticated and ingenious. How could ordinary desert monsters possibly be their match?

"Lei, are we starting to become powerful?"

Erika seemed to be aware of something and couldn't help but ask her friend beside her. Lei stared at the desert monster who was getting up from the ground and nodded without looking back.

"Well, we have to become stronger."

At this moment, Lei thought of two completely different people in her mind. Timmons, who had been snatching their heart seeds, attacked them mercilessly again and again, forcing them to become stronger.

And the other store manager who treated them in his own "gentle" way... Thinking of the encouragement Ash once gave her, Lei's heart couldn't help but be lifted.

How could I not want to work hard after hearing words like that!

"Alright, let's just have a go this time--!"

Erika was about to say something when she turned around and saw Ash hanging on the tree. Her mouth opened wide and everything she wanted to say flew away.

"Why are you here again!"

Spider Cargill, who rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go on stage, also saw Ash hanging upside down on the side. He suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly towards that side.

"Timmons! This is my fight, don't try to interfere!"

"Okay, okay, I really don't plan to interfere this time."

Ash raised his hands high, but because he was hanging upside down, his outstretched hands were directly supported on the ground, making him look like a green policeman who likes to do handstands.

"I just wanted to come and take a look this time, after all..."

Ash's gaze passed over Spider Cargill, passed over Rei and Erika, and fell on Itsuki who stepped forward.

She broke into the group of Snatchers as if she was in their own territory. Every blow from her fists and kicks would knock down the enemy, and the movements of her hands were no longer as mechanical and stiff as before.

"Maybe Nonomiya will see something interesting."

"Hmph, then just watch me!"

Although I have no idea what this guy is talking about, since he said he just wants to watch, that means... he wants to see me show my skills, right?

I will satisfy you!

As the Pretty Cures were about to summon their weapons to purify the desert monsters, Spider Carjeel raised his right fist, which was burning with fire, and the sound of a dragon's roar could be faintly heard.

"Spider Cargill - Dragon Blast Special Edition!"

Although his naming taste was comparable to that of a certain singularity and the police, the actual effect was quite astonishing. The fist that smashed into the ground with a roar instantly tore the ground beneath the Pretty Cure's feet, causing them to lose their footing. The magma that erupted from inside blew the two girls away. If they hadn't clung to the rock wall, they would have fallen into the bubbling magma below.

"Why, Timmons, you've seen it!"

"Well, the hot-blooded ones are really hot-blooded."

I have to say that Spider Cargill is a passionate martial arts fanatic who doesn't play tricks and loves to face things head-on and pursue strength. If you just look at his performance and not his stance, he really doesn't look like a bad guy.

If it was the Reiwa Knight crew, maybe they could just brush it twice and whitewash it to turn it into Kamen Rider with the Clockwork Belt. Then the evil Consortium B would throw the belt into PB to cheat the big and small friends out of their money...

"rua."

Ash stuck out his tongue as if he had thought of something disgusting.

Let’s just look at the Pretty Cure nearby, folks.

Ash only distracted himself for a moment, and Itsuki had already knocked down all the miscellaneous soldiers. He ran to the edge of the crack regardless of the danger and reached out to Rei and Erika who were clinging to the rock wall.

"Are you okay? Give me your hand!"

"Thank you—back!"

The sound of strong wind coming from behind made Wu Mu's instinct to avoid harm go crazy. The boy rolled on the ground to avoid the blow that almost left a mark on his face.

"Roar, a mere human can actually dodge my attacks. I'm here to play with you."

Ash, who was hanging on the tree, loosened his feet and landed lightly on the ground.

Ha, finally—this is what I wanted to see!

Feeling the opponent's powerful aura, Wu Mu took a stance, as if facing a formidable enemy. Timmons would let him go, but that didn't mean this person would let him go.

But, I feel like... I won't lose!

If you can't force it, then—

She easily dodged the opponent's overly strong and direct attack. The girl's side kick hit the opponent's joint, causing his body to tilt. She seized this momentary flaw and followed with an uppercut that made Spider Cargill dizzy.

The body started moving on its own. It was clearly the same routine, but the feeling when it was executed was completely different!

As the fight went on, Spider Cargill became more and more frightened, while Wu Mu became more and more excited.

"The path of martial arts has indeed caused me a lot of hardship."

"But at the same time, I also felt the joy of challenging myself to the martial arts!"

Following his instinct, he rushed into the opponent's chest, which was too open. Wu Mu growled and slapped out two palms. The feeling of being hit in the vitals almost made Spider Cargill suffocate.

"This isn't martial arts training for my brother or my family!"

Spider Cargill's speed and strength were far superior to Wu Mu's, but the result at this time was that he couldn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes. Instead, he was constantly counterattacked by the opponent. The girl flew like a butterfly and stung like a bee!

"Go!" Spider Carjeel didn't expect that there would be a human who could fight with him. He became more and more angry and didn't care about killing the Pretty Cure. He stabbed Goki's chest with his flaming fist.

At this speed, no one can dodge—what?!

Wu Mu moved almost at the same time as he swung his fist. Like dancing an elegant dance, Wu Mu spun around and brushed past the fist. He grabbed Spider Cargill's wrist with both hands and used the momentum to throw him over his shoulder, knocking him to the ground with his own strength!

"This is because, as expected, I really do like martial arts!"

It was not until he was lying on the ground that Spider Cargill realized what had happened. He was actually defeated by a mere human?

"Timmons, did you do this?"

Ash didn't know how he came to this conclusion, but he admitted it without hesitation.

"That's right. So, I think I have the ability to be a teacher, right?"

"Humph."

Seeing that his desert monster had been purified by Pretty Cure, he glared at someone, then lay in a pit on the ground and teleported back to the base.

"Mr. Timmons—Ah!"

The extremely excited Goki was about to share her feelings with the other party, when she remembered that the Pretty Cure were still there and they were in a hostile state.

"You did a good job this time." Ash was not stingy with praise. If it wasn't in the wrong place, he would even want to applaud the other party.

"I'm looking forward to your growth."

After mentioning Kain who was trying to get away with it, Ash turned around and left without any reluctance.

"If I don't tell you, are you really going to live here with me?"

"This is the best, okay?! Maybe I can even sleep in your arms~~ What's with that expression on your face? I'm a demon!"

"goodbye--"

Ash disappeared in the blink of an eye, not even giving Goki time to thank him.

"Thank you."

Not knowing whether the other party could hear him or not, Wu Mu said it all.

"Whether it's martial arts or cute things, I like them all the best."

Erika, who was standing by, looked at their president from afar with an expression that seemed like he was looking at something in the distance, and couldn't help but push her friend's shoulder with her hand.

"Lei, did we miss something?"

"I guess so......"

Chapter 39 It’s too early to meet the parents now

Lei, wearing a black and white uniform, approached the front desk with a shy girlish air. In front of her, Ash was boredly flipping through the fashion magazines that Erika brought. Originally, for him, reading this stuff would be worse than buying a copy of "Girls' Jump" on the street, but who told Ash to want to innovate the store's tacky uniforms?

The maid costume is obviously quite nice. I don't know where I saw it last time and I want to see it again. Why do you have to boycott it? It's just that the skirt is a little short...

"How about changing them all to gold...? I think that's fine!"

"That...store, store manager..." (falling intonation)

"Swipe-"

At the same time, with his other hand, he was stroking the elf borrowed from the girl. The sound of the pages in Ash's slightly impatient hand perfectly drowned out Lei's tiny voice. The girl showed a frustrated expression on her face after failing again.

No, Lei, you can't give up!

While cheering herself up in her heart, Lei recalled her goal this time.

In her grandmother's botanical garden, a very rare flower: the maiden lily has bloomed! After hearing this news, Lei almost lost her appetite all day. As a little flower lover, she wanted to see the beauty of the flower.

He had already told his grandmother about the store manager's support. Although she was very surprised after learning the whole story, she also said that she really wanted to meet this amazing person.

So Lei put the two things together and decided to take this opportunity to introduce Ash to Grandma and invite the store manager to go flower viewing with her! This is what they call an adult date. Well, what Erika told me must be right!

"So... courage! Perseverance! Come on, come on! Lei! (falling tone)"

"Manager, your weekend——"

"Manager, are you free this weekend?"

Yurikei Lily's approaching figure just blocked the way for Hanasaki Rei, who was gradually turning to stone.

"Yes, what's wrong, Lily?"

Letting go of Cofla, who had made an OVO expression due to his petting technique, Ash put down the book and the elf in his hands.

"Can you go somewhere with me?"

"sure."

No, no way, I got there first!?

"Lei...Lei?"

"Lei, are you holding your head because you have a headache?"

The blue-haired friend and the elf beside her looked at Lei with a helpless expression on her face, and cast concerned glances at her.

What a misfortune!

"Erika, can you go to the botanical garden with me this week..."

"Of course you can...eh?"

Erika felt something was wrong. It seemed that Lei was planning to invite the store manager first.

So, I'm the backup?!

Time always slips away quietly when people are not paying attention. When Erika took the initiative to take Lei to the botanical garden on the weekend, she saw someone unexpected.

"Lei's grandma, we're here—huh?"

Looking at the two people who had already taken their seats on the other side, Lei blinked blankly.

"Why are Lily-sister and the store manager here too?"

"Everyone is here as if they had agreed to do so. What a coincidence."

In the famous botanical garden of the Hope Flower Market, the kind-faced old woman, Fumiko Hanasaki, smiled at the five young people sitting in front of her, especially Rei who seemed uneasy. Her smile became even wider when she glanced at Lily and the man from time to time.

As someone who has experienced this, how could she not guess what her granddaughter was thinking?

But young people always have a long way to go.

"Ah, it's grandma desu!"
