Feeling the pressure from her companions' gazes, Yao quickly explained that the reason for her surprise was different from that of the others. She really didn't expect that such a perfect banquet could be organized in just one afternoon.
"Hehe~ Such a wonderful banquet with singing and dancing, isn't it very princess-like and romantic?"
"Hehe~ Flower Princess, you're so naive to be satisfied with just this."
As a senior princess, Regina felt she couldn't afford to lose the limelight. While shaking the tomato juice in her red wine glass, she lectured her junior in a mature tone: "Moments like these must be savored slowly. And..."
"Today's protagonist is actually someone else."
There’s no other way, I’ll just give it to them this time.
"Isn't this a bit weird?"
Yuko pulled up the hem of her matching dress with a slight look of concern, and rarely showed a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Isn't it a bit too tight?"
I seem to have gained some weight recently because I eat too much. Other clothes are fine, but once I wear this kind of dress, I will look embarrassing, right?
"Hehe! Don't underestimate me!"
Her other abilities may be slightly inferior to those of other blues, but when it comes to dressing, Snow White can proudly pat her chest to praise her own taste.
"Of course, I've already taken these characteristics of Yuuko into account! This dress will definitely not break!"
"Thanks?"
Although it sounds a bit strange, Yuko, who has always been open-minded, just takes it as a compliment to herself.
"Even Yuuko wants to show her best side. Someone is really blessed today~"
Snow White, who had always been somewhat shy about attending banquets like this, showed remarkable adaptability. As the princess of the Blue Sky Kingdom, she might be less adept at other things due to her pampered upbringing, but when it came to princess etiquette at banquets, she was even more proficient than Yongyuan, impeccable.
As the team that defeated Guangmei Killer, the members of Happiness Charging were naturally the stars of attention at the banquet.
On the other side, the host of the banquet stood with Precure, the youngest person in the audience.
"I didn't expect my dad in the past would have liked this kind of pomp and ceremony...huh?"
Baomei, who was originally planning to secretly taste the champagne, just raised the glass, but when she put it to her lips, she found that it tasted like Sprite.
"Why, I won't do this kind of grand ceremony from now on?"
He secretly dissuaded her from taking the opportunity to taste the wine, and drank it in front of her.
"Obviously, I've always liked this kind of kingly way."
After drinking a glass, Ash stuck out his tongue subtly. It turned out that he just didn't like alcohol because it didn't taste good at all!
"Yes."
Baomei, who happened to see this scene, couldn't help but laugh.
"Because in my impression, Dad has always been a very frugal person, although he likes to spend money on some strange inventions."
Well, I don't deny that.
"Of course, the most important thing is that mom likes it too~"
"Well, take a look."
He raised his hand to show her a circle around the banquet hall. You know, all the Pretty Cures are here.
“Is there anyone in there who looks more like your mother?”
This is the truth that cannot be said out loud, but your father also understands the related indirect logic!
"Then... probably... you'll know after you do it."
Following his previous example, Baomei also stuck out her small tongue at him.
71
Chapter 71: Don’t you feel very cool?
"It seems that you have decided that there is no news to reveal to me?"
“There wasn’t one.”
He was unwilling to even give hints, and was feeling helpless about Baomei's strict defense. Suddenly, an idea popped up in Ash's incredibly intelligent head.
Oh right, could it be that she's deliberately withholding the truth from me, leaving me and the others to guess? She's actually been secretly observing me, trying to figure out if I've been good to her mother in the past... Hiss! If that's the case, this girl's cunning is probably no less than mine!
"Who told me Dad always likes to tease people in this way that makes people half understand and half don't understand~"
Judging from her playful expression, she must be quite proud of being able to avenge this "one arrow of revenge".
"So since this is a rare opportunity, of course I would want to try it?"
"I am now absolutely certain that you are definitely my child. I have made a note of it."
Ha, I'll have the time to discipline my children later. As the saying goes, beating children on a rainy day is just a way to do nothing...Okay, this proverb doesn't seem to apply here.
The harmonious communication between the loving father and the filial daughter did not attract the attention of anyone else. As the atmosphere at the banquet gradually heated up, the Precures who were originally on guard against Ash's "trap" were now immersed in such a wonderful atmosphere. Many people took advantage of this rare opportunity of Ash's treat to release their inner desires and ate and drank with friends, almost having a lot of fun.
Although he was indeed excessive before, isn't he quite generous now? I didn't quite believe that "gentle angel" when he said he had reformed, but now look...
"Isn't it because of that?"
Regarding Ash's "hunting" for Pretty Cure in various senses, some expressed fear, some expressed anticipation, and some even complained that he didn't find them when they were obviously not bad looking... But generally speaking, it can be said that everyone knows it, if not nothing about it.
Look at the four happy charging people who were talking and laughing with everyone, and the way they looked over there from time to time... Hey, is this the power of love?
"You've been an opponent of Precure for so long, and this is how you end up fighting Precure?"
Oops, this joke is a little too early for younger kids, right?
"The ice of darkness is still melted by the warmth of love~ What a romantic development! I would call it a Pretty Cure-style victory."
"Isn't this too bad? Hahahahaha!"
Someone said this in a sarcastic tone, and the others who heard it burst into laughter.
Judging from the smiles on everyone's faces now, Ena's goal of making everyone happy has now been achieved to some extent.
However, in such a laughing crowd, Baomei, who was enjoying the excitement alone, seemed a little out of place. Even if someone came forward with enthusiasm to invite her, she was politely declined. Now she just held the Sprite in her hand and watched the excitement in front of her with a smile.
Ash could understand her reluctance to get involved, because Ash used to be in her position.
Frankly, Ash hadn't been prepared for this unexpected, "out-of-nowhere" appearance of his adopted daughter. How could he be a good father if he didn't even know the mother? But now, looking at the girl before him, he still found it hard to believe his offspring could be so intelligent and quiet.
"So, is it inherited from mom or dad? If it's about intelligence and strength, it should be mine."
She'd already shown this in a previous battle, so her quietness and elegance were inherited from her mother? Could it be Lihua or Lei... No, the hair color doesn't match. That's not right either! Their hair color isn't hereditary, so why are the guesses getting so wild?
I can’t figure it out, forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore!
"Baomei, I say..."
Even if we don’t talk about the future aspects of “motherhood”, I actually still have a lot of questions I want to ask you.
"Okay, Dad."
Baomei, who spoke before him, stretched her arm over his shoulder, her green fingers pointing to the other side.
"Go quickly, Mr. Ash~" The place she pointed to, the four most dazzling stars at the banquet were winking at them, as if they were arguing about who should invite Ash. As a result, Baomei had already obtained this qualification before that.
"How did you know?"
Baomei asked back, picking up a small octopus that was delivering food and turning it into a blue can, while skillfully fiddling with these small objects.
"Hasn't it always been your motto not to keep a lady waiting?"
No, when did I have such a weird motto? And isn't it a bit disrespectful for you to call me by my first name?
"Okay, let's go!"
Next is the adults' time, and I just need to sit at the children's table.
After sending her father away, Baomei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to eat the vegetable salad the octopus had dropped, she discovered that the dish wasn't filled with vegetables, but a small rabbit with gleaming white fur. Honestly, if it weren't for the lazy undulations on its ears, she would have thought it was just a doll.
And this rabbit was none other than Puka. Ash originally thought that she was just a little sleepy because of Prim's disappearance and loss of half of her body, but he didn't expect that now she was squinting her eyes and often sleeping without waking up, becoming more and more lazy.
"Hmm... I want to go to the kitchen to find something to eat."
Noticing the plate beneath him, Puka flattened his face and made some embarrassed noises.
"Fell asleep Puka~"
"Is it still hard for me to believe this?"
He couldn't help but fiddle with the ears, and sure enough, he was slapped back. Puka was still very concerned about people other than Ash touching his ears.
"Having a kink as a Pretty Cure is one thing, but being completely uninhibited is a bit... So he's really willing to prey on everything from giant monsters with the power to destroy the structure of the universe to tiny, squishy animals?"
Even for us who live in a supernatural world, this is somewhat beyond common sense.
"What kind of puka are you asking about?"
Puka thought that if Prim were here, he would definitely be happy to answer this question and be excited about her presence, right?
"Okay, forget I asked... So do you like carrots?"
I guess you must like it, otherwise why would my vegetable salad turn into a rabbit platter?
"I actually prefer Ash's food, Puka~"
The words that Ash, who knew nothing that day, still mustered up the courage to say to her are precious memories that Puka will never forget. The food that was served that day is also deeply imprinted in her memory.
But to be honest, although Ash's cooking skills are great, the taste is inexplicably terrible...
"is it?"
It seemed that he was somewhat surprised by the answer, but in Baomei's fleeting glance, there was more of a hint of regret.
"I don't even know what his cooking tastes like."
I've only heard my mother say that it tastes terrible.
"It's parent-child chat time, how do you feel about it?"
They naturally saw how Ash took the initiative to find Baomei, and seeing his obviously unhappy expression, including Yuko who took the initiative to ask about it, she also looked like she was trying hard to suppress a smile.
After all, they were all very curious about Ash's "happy fatherhood" and whether he could take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility. Especially for someone like Ash with such "peculiar" communication skills, it would be a lie for the girls to say they didn't want to see him "frustrated".
"Oh, what can I say?"
Ash spread his hands out like a pancake and shrugged helplessly.
"What a filial daughter."
All of his all-round "attacks" were "defended" by her one by one.
"Not bad, not bad, you've made progress~ Please open your mouth as a reward, Yuuko~"
"Let's figure out who is the host of the party!"
Ash shook his head as he put Yuko's special honey candy into his mouth. Unlike them who loved sweets to death, he really didn't like sweetness at all.
"Hahahaha~ Ash, there's a day when you can't do anything about it!"
Thinking back to the miserable days when she was trained by him in the past, and then looking at today, thinking of that jeep, and thinking of the brakes that were completely broken, Snow White laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.
"Hoho~"
The sound of the candy being crushed and the friction between the teeth can be clearly heard even outside.
"I wouldn't mind helping a certain princess review the hard parts of growing up!"
"Wuwaaaa, Kei, save me!"
"Well, today is a day like this."
When they were playing "whack-a-mole" against Snow White behind them, using the smiling Kei in front as a cover, it was Iona who stepped in at the critical moment and stopped them.
"Instead of you two performing manzai, why don't you just sit back and enjoy this moment with everyone else?"
In a rare moment like today, why not just abandon all worries and simply enjoy this happy moment?
Seeing the chase stopped, she was feeling satisfied that she had put an end to a dispute, but the naked gaze from Ash after he diverted his attention made her concerned again.
"Oh, this is truly amazing."
"Any questions?"
Fearing that something might have gone wrong, everyone quickly lowered their heads to check, especially Yuko, who had become a little plump recently, and couldn't help but pinch her soft waist.
