The number of people who came to celebrate Hui's birthday was larger than anyone had expected. Not only were there Hui's good friends and classmates, but also many people who had been saved by her actions and singing. Even Pretty Cure girls from other countries came from afar to congratulate her.

"Ms. Hui—Cure Lovely!"

"Happy birthday!"

When her identity was exposed without the persecution and bullshit that was unique to other worlds, before the deafening and sincere congratulations from the participants, she once again truly felt the meaning of Ash's claim that she could gain high popularity without becoming a Pretty Cure.

"Thank you so much, lovely angel... no, Miss Ainoe!" The Hawaiian Pretty Cure, known as "Sunset Angel," who had met her once before, held her hand and expressed her sincere gratitude. "If it weren't for your singing, my sister and I would have done something irreparable. You saved us, and now we're all your fans!"

"Then everyone present here is in a similar mood!"

However, Hui, still confused, couldn't help but ask.

"But why?"

"Just watch, Miss Hui!"

The Sunset Angel raised her hand and pointed to everyone in front of Hui one by one. Everyone she pointed to responded to her with a bright smile.

"The people here are all those whose happiness has been protected by your immense love!"

"Why is it an incomparably great love? Because without a heart of this level, it's impossible to achieve this level."

And isn’t the song “Flight Between Stars”, which has already topped the world’s pop song charts, filled with love?

"is it?"

I've already done so much without realizing it.

These are all... love?

Even though I am actually very small, the help I provide and the love in it will be transmitted, gathered and connected into such a huge and beautiful blessing.

but...

This infinitely extending happiness cannot be passed on to the person I most want to convey it to.

The result of Hui looking around again was that she had to continue to endure her lost heart.

He really won't come.

Everyone responds to me with love, but who can I respond to with my love now?

"What's wrong, Hui?"

The birthday party was a sea of ​​joy. Because everyone was smiling, Xiao Ji and the others could easily find the protagonist who was the only one who was unhappy.

"As for me, I've lost some motivation." Leaning against the railing, looking at the smiling faces of the people below, the girl felt like she was out of place. "I always wanted to help Ash, but I might have ended up hurting him instead."

Or maybe it was all my wishful thinking from the beginning, and it was all unnecessary.

His heart has already been filled with my place...but it's not fake that he likes me.

I don't understand! Ash, I don't understand!

"Is this a misunderstanding?"

No, it wasn't a misunderstanding... Although she wanted to say that, she opened her mouth but couldn't speak in front of her companions' concerned gazes.

She seemed to be afraid that after knowing the truth, even they would be angry and leave her.

"Really, that idiot Ash!" Iona was furious, imagining the air before her was Ash's merciless knife. "But I think he must also be thinking about Kei's happiness."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so many unnecessary words to us before.

"We'll talk to him later. We have to let him reconcile with Hui no matter what." Patting her friend's shoulder, Yuko, who always had a smile on her face, put forward a gentle idea.

"But before that, don't think too much about it now. This is your birthday, Megumi! Be happy, smile, you have to be happy!"

Hui hugged Xiaoji, who was still comforting herself, and buried her cheek deeply in the other's equally flat chest.

"Hime-chan...thank you."

"Come on! Hui, you are the protagonist today, hurry up, hurry up, we need to cut the cake - what is that!"

The sudden incident in the sky interrupted the originally stable and positive atmosphere. What was wrapped in flames and dyed the sky of the Hill of Light red above was not a meteor, but a huge robot with obvious features.

"That's... Ash! What's going on? He said before that he would handle it alone! Isn't he back again?"

A person's.... With a change of mind, Hui immediately made up her mind. "Everyone, please, go help Ash!"

The three of them stared blankly at the girl whose face had regained its determination.

"But, Kei. What about your words?"

Now this is your birthday!

Ash clearly told us to take good care of your heart!

"I'm fine... I'm Pretty Cure! You all know how strong I am!"

Even though she said that, the others still had no intention of feeling at ease. Anyone could see that she was somewhat reluctant.

"Please everyone, this is my only wish when I blow out my birthday candles!"

Faced with her friend's sincere entrustment, no one could refuse her kindness this time.

"I understand. Hui, you must wait until we bring Ash back!"

That's it, that's it...

Ash, this is fine.

Looking at the backs of the other three people flying high, the girl felt a little relieved, but she didn't notice that she had moved to the microphone in the center of the stage originally used for performances. This immediately aroused the interest of everyone below.

"Could it be that Miss Hui is going to sing again?!"

After all, the legend of Hui Yiqu saving the world is still vivid in our minds!

Just like before, facing the current changes, Miss Hui is going to save the world with another song!

"Great, sing! Miss Hui, please sing!"

"I..."

Looking at the ecstatic participants below, Hui, who was surrounded by popularity, could only follow the wave of the atmosphere and continue to hold up the microphone at a loss.

If everyone is looking forward to it so much, I have no choice but to do something.

Okay, I'm going to sing...

"..." The girl opened her extremely dry lips and tongue, so dry that it seemed as if blood could drip out.

Let’s sing!

"..." Despite everyone's expectations, not a single note came out of her mouth.

"no..."

I can't sing it.

"Eh?"

Actually, my singing is only for Ash!

The original protagonist of this birthday party covered his tearful eyes, left everyone behind and ran out screaming.

Chapter 224: What color can you see when even love disappears?

"What's going on? Where's Miss Hui?"

"I can't come!"

Hui left all the noise behind.

She wanted to run away from all the feelings, whether they were love or bad, and now she just wanted to think about nothing.

The girl tore open her red miniskirt to reveal her obstructive dress and continued to run, running beside the big beast god who was also running in the distance, until she could no longer see anyone, until her burning heart and lungs forced her to stop.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Want...want to see him.

Obviously, today should be a happy day, and it is not my style to be depressed.

Obviously, I feel happy because so many people say that they have received help from me.

Everyone's happiness depends on me, but who is in the hands of my happiness?

She thought of the day when Ash no longer concealed everything and revealed his true hatred. That was a moment she was unwilling to face even though she was deceiving herself.

"Although we tried, it didn't really help. Not only that, it even caused more trouble."

Yes, Ash... Decade is so powerful. Even without me and Pretty Cure, he could single-handedly defeat the Phantom Empire, the Red God, and Tregear.

Now, I seem to have lost the confidence to help others...

"Boom."

Covering her heart, Hui seemed to hear the sound of something violently burning below.

"Why can everyone be happy, but I can't? Are you regretting it now?"

This voice, is that of the Red God!?

"You are a kind and good person, but in the end you are the only one who loses love."

"For the sake of a more beloved existence, the one you love naturally abandoned you. You were deeply hurt and shed tears because of this."

I covered my ears with my hands, but the voice was ringing directly in my heart.

"..." I wanted to refute with a legitimate reason, but when I opened my mouth, I found that I couldn't say anything, just like when I was singing.

As he said, something was indeed moistening his eyes.

"But it's okay. Just start over. Let the world become what you want it to be. This is the world you saved, and you have the freedom to decide."

"My...freedom..."

"Boom!"

The voices of agitation grew louder and louder.

Were these words really touching my heart?

"Give freely, plunder at will! If you experience such joy, you will also be happy."

It turns out that I also think about these things.

His loosened hands dragged casually on both sides of his body, swaying slowly along with his trembling back.

The Red God's voice of temptation became clearer and clearer.

"Come on, don't you want that Ash to bow down to your hatred—"

The sudden, impactful physics of the action interrupted the temptation of hatred! Unfortunately, instead of the protagonist's friends coming to the rescue, another villain came to their rescue.

"phantom!"

Didn't I blow it away earlier? And yet it's still there... Even the Phantom Queen has been defeated and captured!

“Cure Lovely——!”

His once white robes were now ripped to shreds, the only thing that remained unchanged was the crimson rage in his eyes. Having been suddenly attacked and his temptations from the dark side interrupted, Hui had no time to think about anything else. He could only force his already exhausted body to continue running, squeezing out all his strength.

"Still want to escape? Don't run!"

What's going on? Why don't you transform and fight me? Aren't you the one who's never afraid of a fight? When did you become so weak?

"Boom, boom——"

The light bullets that kept exploding from the phantom's hands forced Hui to stumble and move, until Hui, who could no longer run, was blown away from her feet by a bomb and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"You dare claim to have defeated the Phantom Queen at this level?" The maddened Phantom stomped hard on the screaming Megumi's back, continuing to crush her. "Look at you now, how ugly you are! You're a disgrace to the legend of Pretty Cure!"

“…” It was clearly a terrifying attack, but for some reason, Hui didn’t feel much pain.

"Everything's over, what else do you want to do?" A questioning voice from beneath him startled Phantom. "Are you seeking revenge for Queen Phantom? Is this also... your love for her?"

Yes, it's definitely love that makes her do this, right? I understand.

"Cure Lovely, I will seize your greatest power as a Pretty Cure!" Glaring at the girl's persistence, Phantom tightened his grip on the power-replicating shadow in his hand. "Then I'll use your life as a bargaining chip, along with this power, to defeat that Kamen Rider and rescue the Phantom Queen!"

You say this is love? Well, then this is love!
