Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

While the princesses and sisters were doing well, things were looking good on Ash's side. After he explained his intentions, the Pumpkin King pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"I understand. Then I will give you the throne of the Pumpkin Kingdom."

“So simple!?”

Subconsciously, even Ash himself didn't expect this development.

"Because it was you who saved this kingdom."

Looking at the elves beside him who seemed a little reluctant to leave, the chubby king continued to speak with a smile.

"I failed to protect them, but judging by their appearance, you would definitely be able to do so. Besides, after this incident, I understand the importance of being with my family more than the power of a king!"

Instead, you might have helped me.

"Rather, I'll leave everything to you from now on!"

Ash, who had prepared many soft and hard plans, including the division of rights and interests, looked at the king's back as he voluntarily withdrew and chose to enjoy himself with his family. He subconsciously clenched his fists while still in a daze.

Pumpkin Kingdom, Get daze~!

Chapter 41: Get the Operation Base!

"Ash, do you have any plans for this place?"

"After all, the name is Pumpkin Kingdom, so of course we have to continue to be responsible for growing pumpkins."

After some actual investigation, it was confirmed that the feng shui and soil here were most suitable for planting, and even the supporting personnel were more than complete. Ash could not hide the smile on his face at all.

"As expected of the elves' kingdom, it's far more fertile than Earth, a remote and remote water planet! Whether used as raw material for production or processed into cakes and puddings, it will yield extraordinary benefits!"

Thinking of the prosperous future, Ash smiled brightly from the bottom of his heart and even thought about the follow-up.

"It just so happens that I know a lot of places that will definitely be of interest. This really fills the gap in agricultural products that our country is lacking!"

“I made the right decision to come here!”

Ash became happier the more he thought about it, and even picked up the blue-haired girl next to him by the waist and spun her around.

"It's because of your talents that I was able to discover such a treasure. You're both princesses and Pretty Cure, you're truly my lucky stars!"

"Cough cough~"

Nan coughed lightly to cover up the scream in her throat, and with her cheeks slightly flushed, she always maintained the calm demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

"Unfortunately, I don't understand much of this right now. I'll come back to help Ash after I've learned from my father and brothers."

"Oh, Nan wants to be part of the help team so soon~ That's great, that's great~!"

Ignoring Nan's low murmur of surprise, Ash smiled and started to rub the soft black hair.

"As expected of my queen, my mermaid princess~!"

"Ah—it's too early for that..."

Hugging Ash tightly in his arms, his struggling movements and resisting sounds became weaker and weaker as the temperature on his neck grew, and finally turned into mosquito sounds as he actively hugged the other person back.

"Yes, Nan will definitely work harder from now on...!"

This feeling of being completely trusted was exactly what Kaito Nan longed to be filled with. As for how it felt now that it had been fulfilled...it was pretty good!

"All right."

After letting go of Miss Kaito Nan, who was about to faint from embarrassment if she continued, Ash invited the newcomers to go into the castle. Just as he was about to greet his subordinates whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he realized something was wrong.

"Why is the castle deserted?"

This is a massive castle, with enough space for hundreds of thousands of elves! So where are they? Are they planning a surprise for me?

"Because everyone is busy building their new home, they really can't spare the time to come over, so for now, I'm the only one here to greet you all after my holiday."

Just as I was puzzled, a new voice came out to answer the question. But this gentle voice sounded very familiar.

"Yes……"

Just when Ash was about to call out the name, Haruka and the others beside him were even more surprised and shouted it out first.

"Wei? Is that Wei? Long time no see!"

"Yes~"

The black-haired girl walked out from the other side and greeted them with a smile while adjusting her glasses. The person who came was none other than Princess Pretty Cure's supporter and their good friend - Nanase Yui! "Long time no see, Haruka! Minami, Kirara! And King~!"

Now I can see my long-lost friends, and they all smile with the same bright smile.

Compared to the timid little painter Nanase Yui before, the girl now wears a proper black and white long skirt maid outfit, paired with elegant black-framed glasses, and exudes a sense of stability and maturity, which makes everyone pay attention to her.

It seems that it's not just them, their friends have also grown up at other times.

"But this dress..."

"Oh, so you're the head maid now?"

Compared to the others, Ash, as the king, of course recognized this slightly different uniform.

"Now that Wei has been promoted, she's no longer just a personal maid. I was planning to change all the maid outfits to stockings and short skirts, but they said it was against the classics and forced..."

No, no, now is not the time to talk about these trivial things. We should ask her what the new home she mentioned is about?

"So, it's from the Kingdom of Hope...?"

"Yes."

Holding the light behind his glasses, Wei recounted to Ash the major events that had happened during his absence.

"Since Lord Ash and the Pretty Cures defeated Destark and saved the Kingdom of Hope from despair, Prince Kanata led the way in reaching an agreement to transfer part of the Kingdom of Hope's territory to the citizens of the Kingdom of Night."

"Because of this, everyone was so overjoyed that they were so busy on that land that they didn't even have time to welcome them."

Ash vaguely remembered that he seemed to have accidentally said in front of the prince that he wanted land.

"Sure enough, they actually gave it to me..."

If it were another world, even if you were a brave man who saved the entire world, there would still be all kinds of twists and turns, disgusting exchanges of rights and interests, and even people who would simply want to cross the river and destroy the bridge... But it's not a pity at all that these conspiracy and political dramas belong to the dirty adults.

For the Kingdom of Hope, gratitude requires sincerity!

"I see."

Even the princess Hongcheng Yongjiu who was here was deeply moved after hearing the whole story.

"As expected of my brother—Wow! A-Ash?!"

Yongjiu was sighing when he suddenly felt his feet lighten and he was warmly embraced by Ash. Ash, his face visibly filled with joy, leaned closer.

"Hahahahaha! Ash, I'm so happy right now, so I have to reward you well! Come on, Yongyuan, let me get close to you!"

Nothing would make a king happier than knowing that his people are better off!

Since you are so grateful to me, I am so happy that I will naturally return the favor! Let your lovely little princess accept this gift!

"Wait~!"

As soon as I came in, I was scented twice on my face, and my face turned red and my head became hot, and I instinctively wanted to struggle.

"There are so many people watching, I'm too shy—at least, at least do it somewhere else—Mm-chu!"

It's a pity that this kind of reluctant attitude couldn't make any waves in front of the happy Ash. After just a short while, the red princess softened visibly in Ash's arms and was completely melted.

"But this will make the castle really deserted."

Holding Yongjiu, who had fainted from embarrassment, in his arms, Ash sighed as an idea struck him. Oh, right? This trip was to find everyone who had been lost! So with the number of people increasing, he couldn't just let them all stay in a hotel like before, right?

So isn’t such a movable and safe castle just right for everyone?

Operation Base, Get daze~

Chapter 42: Reminiscing after a long time no see.

“Sooo ...

Hearing her own voice echoing in the castle corridor, Regina, who was also brought in, no longer showed any weakness as she lay on the bed and refused to get up. In fact, her excitement was beyond words.

Not to mention anything else, this corridor alone can accommodate three or four selfish monsters racing side by side without any problem!

"It's so big, it's really big!"

Even holding Haruka, who had just returned and was still a little dazed, with her hands swaying up and down, Regina's excitement drove her to find ways to share the happiness of the moment.

"Ash's castle is much bigger than the one I have back in Poker Kingdom!"

"This, this kind of words cannot be heard by Miss Makoto. She might be sad."

"Ha~ I don't care about that stubborn purple woman."

Especially after secretly finding out about the jokes she and Ash had... Hey, so does that mean she'll have to call me mom from now on? Haha~ That's really exciting!

"However, this castle is indeed as Princess Regina described..."

Walking on the bright red carpet, the four people looking around also had the same feeling.

"Although I knew this was where elves lived, it was only when I saw it in person that I realized how huge it really is."

Such a big place...will it belong to us from now on?

To be honest, when Ash announced this, standing inside this endless castle, looking up at the sky, a feeling of weightlessness welled up in my heart.

Just the area of ​​our backyard alone might be bigger than the entire Noble College...

How should I put it? Suddenly, they received such an exaggerated qualification, and the shock made them feel nothing at all, right?

"Hey~ Ash, Ash!"

Regina was so happy that she turned back and confirmed with Ash again and again.

"So, you really can let me choose any room?"

"Of course, as long as there's an empty room, you can just move in with your luggage."

Regina looked more and more adorable, and Ash couldn't help but rub her slightly chubby cheeks.

"You are mine, so my things are of course yours."

You specifically asked me what the big deal was. I, Ash, am not that stingy. If someone turns around and pulls up his pants and ignores me, he is really a piece of shit.

Since you are my princesses, of course I will give you treatment equal to or even better than that of a princess.

"Hahaha~ I love you the most~!"

Regardless, Regina, who never regretted anything, was the happiest... But if that's the case, does that mean I'll be upgraded from princess to queen next? Hahaha~ Now I've even surpassed Aguri and that Princess Ann!

"Isn't it a bit late to say you like me the most now?"

"I've been in love with you for a long time!"

On the other side of Regina who started to act coquettishly again, Nanase Yui and Haruno Haruka, a pair of good friends who hadn't seen each other for a while, also sat down and started chatting.

"So, Princess Xiaoyao is spending a sweet honeymoon with her beloved king in a place unknown to me?"

"Don't tease me like that, it would be great if it were really that sweet~"

The girl, feeling a little embarrassed, chuckled twice and picked up the teapot. She was now becoming more and more adept at doing such delicate tasks, and no longer had the impression of being clumsy in the past.

"Xiao Wei is the one. She looks so beautiful and mature that I almost can't recognize her!"

"Thank you for the compliment~Princess Haruka~"

Wei deliberately used the nickname he used to call his roommate in the past, which made the two of them burst into laughter.

"But compared to me, Haruka is the one who is truly mature. After all, she has become an adult."

"Stop talking about this~ I'm already troubled by this."

There was life in the past, and there was life in the present. Thinking about how she would explain the situation to her parents later gave her a headache... If she couldn't explain it clearly, it might become a big deal.

I can't just blame everything on him like Ash said, right? That won't do! Self-reliance is the virtue of a princess!

"but."

Wei deliberately compared his own head with Yao's with his hands and couldn't help but tilt his head again.
