The so-called "transformation hero" is often characterized by the literal meaning of possessing two distinct identities before and after the transformation! Based on these two independent identities, the difference between truth and secrecy often triggers a series of various plots.

But if both identities are ruthlessly discovered and cannot be used, how can we continue to act?

Then there is only one answer... that is to pull out the third identity now!

So your guess is correct, or there is no other answer.

The black-haired boy who is now "acting pitiful" in front of Ai Aida is actually none other than Ash in his own 12-year-old boy form!

All the "innocent, helpless, and pitiful" gestures he had shown before to seduce Ai Aida were for this moment! Ash believed that there was absolutely no flaw in his performance! After all, if he didn't have some acting skills, he would have been caught and beaten with sticks when he was undercover in various evil gangs in the past.

"I didn't expect that past experience would come in handy at a time like this."

Since they had forgotten the past, they naturally wouldn't remember that he still looked like this! Moreover, Ash had vaguely sensed before that they seemed to be even more fond of his youthful appearance.

"Could it be that, as a girl, and also a Pretty Cure with a foundation of partnership with the elves, I'm particularly vulnerable to small and cute things?"

Ash had thought about this question before, but since he couldn't read minds, he had no way of verifying the answer and had to give up. But now...

Judging from Mana's reaction, it's actually ten or even nine times more effective! Going all out this time was the right decision!

Anyway, the decision has been made long ago, now is not the time to care about face!

"But……"

But, although Ash was planning to play the role of the classic naughty kid in the protagonist group and gradually get familiar with them and get closer to them, he didn't expect that just as he made the beginning, Mana and the others took the initiative to help him!

"Just live in my house first!"

That's why he was completely stunned by this smile that was brighter than the sun behind her.

Hey, I, Ash... what belongs to Ash now isn't just some little cat or dog, but a whole, living person! You just picked someone up from the outside and brought them home, and lived with them as if nothing had happened—wait, if I think about it, this really seems to be a tradition of Pretty Cure? So this is nothing special?

Shocked, Ash suddenly realized that he seemed to have become a part of the Precure series' "Play".

"This...will it..."

"It's okay, don't be shy~"

Without giving the boy, who hesitated at the critical moment, time to think carefully, Mana couldn't help but pinch the cheek that was smoother than her own, and then reached under his armpit and lifted him up like the famous scene in "The Lion King".

"You are such a well-behaved child, sister will definitely take good care of you~"

Wait, someone's snatching a child! Is anyone taking care of this? Is anyone taking care of this?

"..."

Accompanied by some tiny noises, the blonde girl emerged from the nearby bushes, still holding a few leaves in her hair, and looked nonchalantly at the boy who was carried away by Mana in an extremely natural way, with an unknown glimmer in her eyes that became brighter and brighter.

"Huh... is that so?"

Looking at the two people's backs gradually merging together in the sunset, Baomei's brows, which had never been relaxed, became more and more furrowed.

"dad?"

“Mana—”

When he saw his daughter suddenly coming back with a child in her arms, Kentaro Aida, who always responded with a smile no matter how difficult the customer was, suddenly had his pupils trembling violently and even his voice, which had been good, began to stutter like a cassette tape.

"This, this, this child is...?"

"Are you talking about Ash? I found it outside."

Feeling the strange gaze, Mana, in order to clear up the misunderstanding, brought the "shy" boy who was still hiding behind her back to her like a treasure.

"He's been separated from his family and can't find his way home, so I want him to live with us for the time being!"

"That's it."

After hearing this explanation, Kentaro Aida breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his warm and easy-going self as he gave Ai instructions.

"No problem, there's a spare guest room at home that can be used anytime, so you can have an extra companion. But if that's the case, you have to take good care of the child!"

No, the people who picked it up from outside accepted it without asking any questions. Namo San, this is also one aspect of the bright and beautiful world. Even Buddha would smile and open his eyes when he saw it.

"Yes, Sir~!"

After giving her father a playful salute, Mana took the boy's hand again and enthusiastically introduced her home environment to him.

"This is your room. The bed and quilt are all clean and tidy, so feel free to use it! But it's a guest room after all, so it's a bit empty. If you need anything, just let me know!"

"Oh, I almost forgot."

When the question "what's missing" came up, Mana suddenly remembered something and knocked her forehead in frustration.

"I actually forgot to prepare a change of clothes and toiletries for you! Ugh... this is a huge mistake. How about using mine for today and I'll prepare some for you tomorrow?"

"Really, I'm sorry to bother you, sister..."

At this moment, the young man with a twinkling look in his eyes seemed to have mustered up considerable courage and spoke to her seriously.

"Even though this is our first meeting, you're still willing to take care of me like this—sister! When I grow up, I'm going to repay Sister Mana!"

He had already done it, so no amount of saving face would help. So, with a broken jar mentality, the former Ash, now "Ash," chose to step up his cuteness and act cute, hoping to continue using this face to gain some favor with her.

But even for Ash, who is skilled in martial arts, selling his looks... is really the first time.

“Mmmmm!”

Mana couldn't hold back her excitement and hugged the boy again, rubbing her face against his with a doting look on her face.

It seems my intuition that this child was special was right. How could such a cute and sensible child exist? It's really—this is so great! I love it so much!

"Don't worry, my sister is very caring~"

"But since Ash-brother has said so... then Mana-sister, just look forward to it later~!"

Chapter 206: Use the beauty trap on Guangmei and the others!

“Ehhhh!?”

Although she had said in advance that she would bring a surprise to everyone, when everyone saw Mana coming out with a child, they were still so surprised that they couldn't even close their mouths.

"Huhuhu~"

Mana seemed very satisfied with everyone's expressions, and even quite proud of them. She took the boy's hand and greeted them together.

"Look, this is my new baby!"

I don’t know why, but I just really want to show off!

"Hello everyone, my name is Ash, and I'm currently living at Mana's house..."

Seeing the black-haired boy hiding behind Mana, cautiously peeking half his head out from behind the purple stockings stretched tight at the base of his thighs, Rikka and Makoto both felt their hearts skip a beat and their eyes light up. Fortunately, Rikka, who quickly shook her head to clear her head, hadn't forgotten the key to the current problem!

"Wait, Mana! What's going on with this child? And who is the father—Wow!"

On the contrary, Tian Gang was the one who calmed down Rikka this time by hitting her head in a bad mood.

"How come even you, Rikka, are thinking about such strange things?"

How could the usually quiet and intelligent Hishikawa Rikka, like my anxious father, have such a turbulent development as her first thought in such a situation? Could it be that Rikka... is actually a bit more reserved and sultry than we've all noticed?

“That’s actually what happened.”

After hearing Mana's explanation of the whole story, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and understood.

However, Ash felt like he had seen a similar development once before.

"It's like this again, Mana."

So naturally, Liuhua turned into the "old mother" mode again, accompanied by non-stop preaching.

"As always, you only think about helping others. You really don't think about yourself at all!"

"It's been like this since the beginning. When I see cats and dogs on the street, I feel pity for them and pick them up to raise."

As he spoke, his awkward laughter, which made Mana embarrassed, gradually turned into annoying complaints.

"And do you remember those rabbits you picked up from our school? They've multiplied so much that the cages can't even hold them all—and this time, it's even better, you even picked up a baby!"

Ah, was Mana and Rikka's relationship like this in the beginning? They don't seem to find it strange, so the changes I brought to them in the past are... that's it, right?

"You lucky prince, one day you will give everything you have to others!"

"But after that, I still have you who love me and, and..."

When she said the last word, she was stuck as if she had forgotten something. In the end, after trying to make sense for a long time, Mana could only continue to change the subject in an extremely awkward manner, and picked up the boy in front of her as a "shield".

"And look, Ash he's so cute!"

"You are not allowed to bully Sister Mana!"

“Ah~ That’s great~!”

Seeing Mana with a determined face and open hands blocking in front of her, Mana, who couldn't help but "go crazy", rubbed her face affectionately again.

I've always wanted a brother since I was little! Unfortunately, I'm still an only child, so I unexpectedly found a connection with Ash!

"As expected of my child, awesome, awesome!"

"How did it become yours? But..."

Rikka, who had nothing to say about her friend's "Fat Tiger" behavior, finally turned her attention to "Ash"'s face, and in the end she couldn't help but rub the black hair with her hands.

"She's a good kid indeed... Since we live together, you have to keep a close eye on Mana and make sure she doesn't get hurt again."

"Yes! Sister Rikka!"

And the smile couldn't stop from appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Oh no, this feels pretty good. What if I get addicted?

"Can I touch it?"

Seeing the two of them being so intimate with him, Makoto, whose curiosity and desire were also aroused, could not help but reach out her hand, wanting to try the same thing - but was dodged without any suspense.

"Eh?"

Thinking it was an illusion, Makoto reached out again, touched again, and again—but he dodged every move. He even stuck his tongue out at her when no one around could see! This brat was doing it on purpose!

Makoto, filled with anger, continued to reach out, determined to touch the black hedgehog dumpling. Don't underestimate your big sister, you little brat!

"Hoohoo~ Mana, I didn't expect this to be quite interesting."

"Really? Really!"

The new member had injected a new dose of energy into their group today. Amidst this not-unpleasantly boisterous atmosphere, everyone's affection for this funny and sensible young man had also risen. With the exception of Kenzaki Makoto, who seemed to be "disliked," everyone else was smiling happily... Oh no, there seemed to be another person there?

"Almost, time to get down to business, right?"

As if insulated from the noise, Yotsuba Arisu, who always had a calm expression, tapped his fingers to wake up the few people who were enjoying themselves and were about to play games with "Ash".

"Compared to a little brat like this... ahem, I mean, the child, we have many other things to discuss right now, right?"

"Especially after that hateful knight came out!"

"Shh!"

Mana, who suddenly looked panicked in front of the keyword, quickly covered the boy's ears.

"Arisu, keep your voice down, there are outsiders here!"

"Alala, this is so embarrassing."

"Arisu?"

For some reason, Rikka feels like Arisu seems a little strange lately?

If I had to describe it, it's like I've become somewhat...unlike myself? Hmm, that's a strange way of describing it.

Sure enough, I was too nervous in front of the enemy who appeared, right?

"But it is true that we need to have a good discussion about that person."

Of course, Ash, who had his ears tightly covered, didn't hear a word of the above conversation, but.

As he looked at someone, the boy's eyes flickered vaguely.
