"You - this answer is too bad!" After hearing this answer, Qian was so scared that she almost turned around and hit Ash on the head with a shovel.
"Like I said, I'm not a good person. I'm self-centered and greedy. Even though I know what's best for both of us, I still can't help but reach out. You're right, I'm terrible." Ash's voice was surprisingly calm when he said this, perhaps because he had already accepted the truth. "Also, you can actually curse. It'll make you feel a lot better. Try it?"
"I don't curse!" Angrily, he placed the freshly baked okonomiyaki on a plate and placed it in front of Ash. Akane also propped up her chin with her hand and looked at him. "Besides, I can't say that to a customer!"
"Thank you so much." Under the gaze again and again, Ash put the hot Okonomiyaki into his mouth. The perfect heat matched with the wonderful sweetness. The wonderful taste immediately relaxed Ash's brows. Seeing his expression change, Akane also showed a happy expression on her face.
"good to eat."
"Of course, this is our masterpiece!"
Watching Ash devour the food in front of him at a leisurely pace, the girl, feeling much more cheerful, began to ponder the meaning behind the man's words.
However, it’s not a direct rejection, but maybe there’s no way to respond to me?
"I think there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Ash put down his chopsticks, took the tissue from Akane and wiped his mouth.
"If I like Ash, that's my own feeling. It's your choice whether Ash responds or not. It doesn't mean that you must get a response from the other person if you like someone. In fact, that would be too cunning."
"So, no matter what the outcome is, the happiness I felt when I was with you was real. In the end, all I have to do is have a clear conscience!"
"Huh..." Qian let out a long sigh in front of Ash and smiled brightly. "Ahaha! I didn't expect you to actually say it all. I feel much better now!"
But, even though I said that, when I think back on it, it still makes me a little sad...
"Akane."
"Ok?"
When Akane, who was distracted, was brought back to her senses by Ash's sudden voice, she looked up and saw his serious expression.
"Actually, I still remember everything you said to me that night."
"Eh?"
Seeing Akane's surprise, Ash smiled, not out of his usual amusement, but out of pure happiness.
"Really, your words are as fiery as your flames. Just thinking about them now makes my heart burn."
“Ehhhhhhh——”
"Akane, you are such a good girl. I am so grateful to have fought alongside you. I am sure you will continue to grow as a good wife."
Not good, not good! Not good! Ash, what are you talking about? I'm so happy! I'm so happy to hear that. Now, the happy expression is about to show on my face!
"Wife, wife, whatever—don't tease me about this anymore!" She hurriedly covered her burning cheeks, her arms covering them to prevent Ash from seeing her expression. "I'm a tomboy who always likes sports and hanging out with boys. I don't have any femininity anymore!"
No, no, no! I can't let Ash see my expression right now, otherwise I'll become a shallow character who gets so happy after a few compliments that he loses his mind, and people will look down on me!
"No, it has nothing to do with femininity. You are a beautiful and good woman, and I just want to have a clear conscience about this."
This is what I said before, so cunning!
Just as Qian was about to open her mouth to explain, she felt a delicious taste in her mouth. It turned out that Yashu was picking up the leftover okonomiyaki and putting it into her mouth.
"You taste just like this okonomiyaki. Beneath the spicy and refreshing crust, there's a sweet heart that makes you want to eat it all in one bite."
"Gurgle... What was that?!" Feeling both angry and embarrassed, Akane hurriedly bit off the remaining portion in her mouth. She chewed and savored it carefully, and the taste seemed to be even more delicious than the food she had made. "Also, using okonomiyaki to describe a girl is so weird!"
"dislike?"
"I didn't say I hated it!"
Hino Akane now also has something she wants to write in that book.
"[Ash is a very annoying person.]"
"[He beat us up without any reason. It's hard to trust him like Miyuki does. Not to mention he's making fun of us. It's really too much!]"
"[However, when Ash gets serious, especially when he's on our side, he's really handsome! I'll probably never forget that adventure of getting a glimpse of the universe.]"
"Everyone, including Ash's family, is with their support that I can work hard on what I love. It's so wonderful to be able to meet you all as a Pretty Cure!"
"[Today or tomorrow, the passionate and energetic Hino Akane loves Ash the most!]"
"[Everyone who is with you is my irreplaceable treasure!]"
I will write these words after I have had this happy time!
"Ash~!"
"Ok?"
Akane followed suit and picked up a piece of okonomiyaki with her chopsticks and brought it to Ash with a smile.
"Come, ah~~"
Chapter 196: The Beginning, a Beautiful Ending
In The Tragic Kingdom, Piero sits on his throne and opens his eyes.
With the help of the fragments left in Gagu's body, which forced his spirit into absolute despair, Piero now seized Gagu's extremely powerful body and once again became the emperor representing the dark forces in this universe.
After completely fusing his body with the Aguru Belt and gaining full control, Piero was amazed at the power this body had gained due to its transformation. However, what truly shocked and surprised him was the "darkness" and "tragedy" that resided within the belt.
Piero saw that Gagu had ruthlessly slaughtered his entire tribe in a very cruel way, and then burned all life on the planet in order to seize the power of life to push himself to greater heights.
After that, he cooperated with that "Catherine" to travel to many worlds and did many evil things like killing the chicken to get the eggs. The ending of each time would be a "tragic ending" stained with blood, until in this world, he finally ushered in his own bad end.
The blood and tears of countless innocent people, carrying the wailing and pain of several worlds, all these "tragedies" brought by the executioner Jagu are now all in front of Piero, turning into tragic energy that is almost condensed into a entity and pouring into it. This is also the key to its rise again at an astonishing speed.
"So this is—the tragic ending of the other world?"
It seems that after "dying" at the hands of Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure, Piero no longer acts simply on instinct as before. At this moment, he is thinking about what is happening in front of him.
These tragic energies are actually large and pure. So, is the tragic ending that Jiagu ultimately wanted as a result of everything he did?
In the memory he got, the human in blue armor fell at his feet, and Gagu, whose body was covered with the blood of innocent people, was ecstatic. He was laughing for the satisfaction of his desires, he was laughing for the power he had plundered, and he was standing on the tragedy of the weak and laughing wildly.
"wrong."
Piero gave a negative answer.
"It's just pure slaughter. Even if this ending is tragic, it's too ugly!"
I am the dark emperor Piero. I will definitely put a permanent end to tragedy on everything, including the fairy tale kingdom, the earth, and the universe. But the end of the world with such a result is not what I want!
Now that I have awakened, what I long for is actually...
A thick book containing the color of chaos was condensed from the center of energy and fell into its hands.
"[The Book of Lost Things]!"
Piero decided that only when all the "beauty", "hope" and "effort" were shattered could it be considered the true "end".
“Without beauty, tragedy would be meaningless.”
“The impact of burning a hundred pieces of trash is not as great as destroying a single fine work of art.”
He opened the storybook that imitated a fantasy driving book, and four jets of dark energy flowed out from the title page one after another. After falling to the ground, they slowly condensed and turned into the appearance of the four cadres of the Tragedy Kingdom!
The Joker originally belonged to Piero, so resurrecting him was easy. Wolfren, Witch Lina, and the Red Oni were all characters in the story, villains who were inspired by darkness and became its subordinates. Now, they have been revived by Piero once again.
And thanks to the existence of the Aguru Belt, the four-body strength of Almighty, Titan, Pegasus, and Azure Dragon gave Piero and Reference great inspiration. After investing some fragments and power, the strength of the reshaped four cadres is now far greater than when they were alive!
"Now, wake up!"
The recreated "Four Cadres" raised their weapons one after another with strange and mission-filled eyes.
"The necessary plot has begun. Now let's open the final chapter."
The tragic kingdom, which was originally fixed in another world, began to shake violently at this moment. Under Piero's manipulation, it seemed to be breaking away from this world.
"Pretty Cure, Kamen Rider. This long story filled with your joys and sorrows is about to come to an end."
"When hope turns to despair, it will be up to me, Piero, to create something that suits you—"
"What an incomparably beautiful tragic ending."
------
"Lihua, I know you are at home, don't hide in there and keep silent!"
Knocking on the door in front of him again, Ash sighed regretfully.
"How cold, Lihua."
With his keen senses, he could hear the faint sobbing sounds through the wall, but the door still showed no sign of opening. Of course, the biggest reason was that he couldn't just break in directly, after all, that would be meaningless.
"Lihua, it's okay if you just listen to me."
To be honest, I don't hate what you did back then. Sometimes this is what is right and just.
As Yazheng was considering what to say next, he was about to open his mouth when he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind his head and turned around. He looked up and saw a storybook flapping in the air and flying towards him. Then, Tangtang was thrown out of the storybook, and the pink lamb spun and charged straight into his face.
"3!"
Ash shouted out subconsciously and grabbed the dizzy Tangtang. Thinking that she had already returned to the fairy tale kingdom, he was wondering why she came back to work overtime this time. Tangtang impatiently told him her purpose first.
"Oh no, oh no, Ashkuru! The Kingdom of Tragedy, it's over there in the Kingdom of Tragedy!"
"What happened to the Tragedy Kingdom? Please explain clearly."
"The Kingdom of Tragedy is coming this way, Kulu!"
Before he could utter the second word of doubt, a violent shaking almost knocked Ash to the ground. What made him even more moved and surprised was that at the same time, a sense of reversal and transformation from the surroundings instantly flowed through Ash's body.
This feeling is very similar to the space-time wall of the pink knight!
"No more..."
"I feel so uncomfortable..."
Looking around, I saw passers-by lying on the ground with disgusted expressions. Tragic energy surged out of their bodies and flew in one direction.
But even more striking was the transformed environment: eerie, pitch-black buildings intermingled with high-rises, the sewer system seemed to be flowing with magma, and the green belts were covered with dead trees, bringing with them a miasma. It was like a hundred demons parading at night, demons dancing wildly! It was simply the result of forcibly mixing two worlds!
"Are you forcibly merging the Tragedy World with Earth's space?!"
Ash showed an extremely difficult expression, he had seen similar situations before!
"What the hell is going on! Is Piero back?!"
"Ah, looking at it this way, it can only be this, right?"
Looking back at the sound, Ash, gritting his teeth, and Aoki Reika, with slightly red eyes, turned their heads at the same time, standing face to face and staring at each other.
Chapter 197: Turn to the last page (4K)
Both of them have imagined the scene when they meet. It might be awkward, it might be silent, but more likely the conflict will turn into an ugly quarrel between the two.
But at this moment, the two people who were looking at each other stood there, speechless for a moment. Even Tangtang, who didn't know what was happening in his arms, shrank his head and dared not make a sound.
"Ash...um...me."
The darkness above is rapidly taking over the brightness of the sky. The surfaces of buildings are falling apart, plants are rapidly withering and decaying, and all life within the range is beginning to fall one after another as a result of the effects. If someone could look down at the earth from outer space, they would find that this corrosive force is rapidly expanding to the entire world!
The bad thing is, now is the worst time to communicate.
Lihua, whose eyes were red, was speechless for a moment. When she was about to turn around and run away, an irresistible force grabbed her collar and threw her over, stuffing the girl onto the back seat of the Gatling motorcycle.
"Really? Where are you going?" He stuffed Tangtang into her hands unhappily and put the helmet back on her head without waiting for Lihua to say anything. "Is there a problem with you being with me now?"
“No, no problem…”
We pushed off the kickstand and tightened the throttle to let the engine start to warm up and roar, then accelerated towards the source on both sides.
"Listen carefully, Lihua. Whatever you want to say, tell me later, okay?"
"....Um."
Feeling the strong wind that was almost blowing her down, Lihua held Tangtang in one hand and put her other hand around Ash's waist. She closed her eyes and pressed her upper body tightly against Ash's broad back.
Can I be forgiven?
"is it here?"
