Yotsuba Arisu, who accidentally had her body taken over by another self in the mirror world and almost made a big mistake, finally got her body back with the help of Ash at the last moment. With such happy news, of course she wants to share the joy with her good friends~!

But the story she told sounded a little strange...

"I've told you it's all right several times, but you still ignore me. You're such a self-righteous man."

"But fortunately, he also admitted that he would definitely take responsibility. Isn't this a good ending?"

"Arisu, let me be clear, I don't understand a word you're saying."

Although he spoke so righteously, judging from the rosy little face that was still on her face after Rikka turned her head away, and the glances that drifted towards him from time to time, she probably understood.

"No matter what, he did save me in the end. Although he did have many conflicts between us in the past that we couldn't resolve, I believe that even the worst of us can turn over a new leaf one day."

"Ah."

At this time, Rikka beside her also nodded in agreement.

"On this point, Arisu and I share the same opinion."

"Perhaps we should reflect on whether the way we treated him in the past was a bit too harsh?"

"Hey, this?"

He'd been racking his brains with everyone, trying to figure out how to deal with that Kamen Rider, but now, Kenzaki Makoto realized he was the only one truly hostile to him. "Didn't you agree that you'd defeat the one who plotted against us..."

"But we found that he didn't seem so bad."

"Yeah, and accepting him is actually... ahem, I mean, we should just wait and see how he actually performs."

Rikka, Arisu? Did you guys really betray me?!

"Mana."

However, as the core of their discussion, it is impossible to bypass Ai Lai Aida, who is the backbone of everyone.

"What do you think from this side?"

Arisu put down the teacup in her hand, Rikka used the palm of her hand to gently push up her glasses which showed an inexplicable nervousness, and especially Makoto, whose face showed "discomfort", looked towards Mana with expectation.

Ai Aida, who had been silent all the time and just listened attentively, put down the pen in her hand that seemed to be recording something.

"Have you ever felt the strange connection between you and Ash?"

"Could it be that?"

Hearing this, Liuhua immediately became excited.

"Did Mana feel something too?"

So I said that I had an inexplicable admiration for him... I guess I'm not the only one!

"Hmm... I seem to remember something. I remember reaching out my hand to him and saying that I wanted to bring him under this sunshine..."

"I see. It's impossible that Mana didn't notice anything."

Eh? Eh! Seeing the other three people's sudden realizations when this was mentioned, Kenzaki Makoto, once again bewildered, felt like pulling out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. Am I the only one who doesn't feel anything? What's going on? I feel like I'm the only one who's not feeling this?

"I vaguely remember wanting to reach out to him, but never being able to."

But the more she thought about it, the more confused Ai Aida became about this matter.

"Also, there's some agreement between us..."

The more time passed, the more troubled Ai Aida became. She no longer had the cheerfulness and energy she used to have. At this moment, she wanted to find someone to talk to about her inner feelings.

But, this is such a private feeling...who can I confide in?

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of someone. Someone... someone she clearly shouldn't have chosen.

Chapter 225: Yaxiu: Please teach me, Master of Post-O Appreciation!

"It's almost time to say goodbye to being Ash."

After all, he had already successfully "dealt with" the most difficult Rikka and Arisu in various ways! The only ones left were the missing Aguri and the almost incidental Makoto. As for Mana, who had recently become increasingly obsessed with hanging out with the shota... Ash was convinced that his bond with her was definitely not fake!

After this wave is over, he will not have to pretend anymore. If he continues to act like a shota like this, he is afraid that some strange changes will occur to him.

"But I think that little, well-behaved and sensible Ash is really cute."

Although he had approached her in a similar image when they first met, his true personality remained unchanged, his dominance and autonomy leaving Ayumi speechless. So, if possible, Ayumi would certainly like to meet the sensible, gentle, and cute boy version of Ash, who only existed in legends.

While grumbling to express regret, he was also jealous in many ways of the Heartbeat Group who could be so casual and intimate with Ash.

This was my favorite from the beginning.

"In that case, I have a good idea, Puka~"

As a rabbit, Puka doesn't like carrots, but prefers the ones cooked by Ash himself. He jumped onto the table with pastries in his hands, and it seemed that there was some clever idea hidden in his big, sparkling eyes.

"As long as you act like you've turned evil, Ayumi, Ash will definitely come right over—Puka!"

"Ahh~ This is the only thing that's absolutely not allowed."

He picked up the pastry from Puka's hand from behind, held his arms high and let Puka jump around underneath so that he couldn't reach it. When the rabbit couldn't jump anymore and lay on the table gasping for breath, he turned his wrist and threw the pastry into his mouth.

"As punishment, I'm not taking this away."

"Puka...Puka is also going to turn evil..."

"Ah, I've seen that one before."

"Why is it like this, Puka... Pukakaka..."

Obviously, she was a cute, gentle and timid elf at the beginning, but as the time she stayed with the man increased, her moral integrity declined in inverse proportion.

"All we have to do now is talk to the Heartbeat Team again, find a way to wake them up, and gather everyone's strength to defeat the mastermind behind this!"

The future, which had been troubling and uncertain at first, has now become increasingly clear thanks to Ash's efforts. Hey, if you look at it this way, it's going to be another great victory for the US. The future is bright!

"But not only that, Ash has also become visibly softer recently~"

Even Ash, who was previously troubled by the dilemma of his own position, gradually returned to his original cheerful personality and started to make fun of Ash.

"If this continues, I'll have to completely shed my past image of a happy-go-lucky war freak and become a good man that everyone likes."

"...a good man who opened more than thirty Crystal Palaces?"

"What does it matter? After all, everyone likes it~"

"Huh, I'm really embarrassed that I was a bad man in the past."

"Okay, okay~"

After hugging and rubbing the dissatisfied person for a long time, Yaxiu smoothed down the frizzy hair on his head before he was finally driven away impatiently. Then she walked towards the next person happily again.

Yaxiu felt that as the biggest contributor to this matter, he certainly could not forget Miss Baomei who was sitting aside and writing and drawing on her notebook.

This "daughter" from the future, although she had been keeping a low profile since being rescued, when everyone was at a loss as to what to do due to these sudden changes, it was she who gave Ash a crucial encouragement, which enabled him to cheer up again and even motivated everyone!

So, she also inherited Ash's ability to always keep up at the critical moment? The more I see her, the more I like her~

"Homi-chan~"

With her mood becoming more and more cheerful, Yaxiu couldn't help but squint her eyes and tiptoe to quietly approach the girl, as if she wanted to see what she was writing.

"I see Baomei seems to enjoy drawing and sketching. So, does she want to be a painter when she grows up, just like CureEgret?"

However, Baomei's reaction to Yaxiu's uninvited appearance as a strange sister was very direct. She held up the notebook in her hand and turned her face away, leaving only a pair of vigilant eyes that could not be seen by others.

"No."

Hey hey... Although I know that most children don't really want adults to see what they are busy with, but such a direct avoidance is still hurtful...

"Mmmmm~!"

After making a series of strange noises, Yaxiu, who wanted to calm down her dissatisfaction, had to change the subject.

"Since you said you don't need to worry about that daughter you picked up outside, then the only thing left is your relationship and your best friend Miss Ai, right? This should be completely easy for you. But because of this, if Kaler wants to interfere, he will definitely choose this time - um, wait?"

If Regina, who also came from this world and was attacked along with everyone else, is still lying there, then... are we overlooking someone?

"By the way, where's that ace angel?"

Ash suddenly recalled that as someone who had inherited his memories of all the Pretty Cure worlds, she was quite impressed by this additional warrior who was able to rival Ash in strength and had a strong personality when he first appeared.

"I remember her name was Madoka Akuri, right? Because of her age, if she were to accept it, it would be annihilated by a higher power outside the multiverse, so she was deliberately passed over, right?"

"Ahem!"

The pastry that he almost chewed got stuck in his throat. When he finally calmed down after repeatedly beating his chest, Ash's face was full of weirdness towards him.

"What are you talking about? I wasn't that hungry back then, and I didn't mean that."

"That's perfect. Miss Aguri has grown up to the point where she can legally do so. Why not try to make amends and rekindle our past relationship?"

Because she's actually a woman, Yaxiu understands it very well. Showing off a woman is a big taboo in post-O works! Especially when you flirt with her but don't marry her... Oh, oh no, it seems you haven't flirted with her at all.

"...Is it okay as long as I'm a Pretty Cure?"

Ash, who is really depressed, now just wants to punish this crazy woman.

"Besides, the whole person is missing now, along with the poker kingdom. Maybe they vanished together. This is clearly an enemy conspiracy, and there's still no clue how to find them."

"If you're talking about the Poker Kingdom, I think I have some idea."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the three people and the elf were all focused on Baomei who raised her hand quietly.

Chapter 226: An unexpected gain? Heading to the Poker Kingdom!

"Homi-chan! What you said... is true?!"

Inspired by Baomei's unintentional words, Yashu and others opened their eyes wide with disbelief and surprise.

"Yes?"

As if frightened by everyone's violent reaction, the girl nodded timidly and answered carefully: "When I was controlled by them, I think I saw how he blocked the road to the Poker Kingdom."

"So I can probably use this as an opportunity to infer how to reopen it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this is possible!"

This time it was really like finding something you have been looking for everywhere, but it was finally found without any effort!

Even though Ash had joked before that Aguri was not within the range of Ash's Crystal Palace, everyone's principle from the beginning to the end was to lend a helping hand whenever there was a chance. Moreover, if they could find the strongest "Ace Angel" among Heartbeat Light Beauty, it would be a real boost for everyone who is currently lacking in combat power!

"What's more, if we can go to the sealed Poker Kingdom, we might be able to follow the clues and find some clues about the conspiracy!"

Ash nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining brighter the more he spoke.

"That's a great idea! Without further ado, let's go now!"

"Great! Let's go, Puka!"

Although it was a bit abrupt... Anyway, several people rolled up their sleeves and were ready to get started. They surrounded Baomei and looked forward to the mysterious "methods" in her hands.

"Okay! After this is over, let's call everyone back to have a barbecue party together!"

It's better than the lifeless state you were in when you were lost before...but aren't you a little too cheerful now that you've recovered? Ayumi, standing next to him, mercilessly sneered at Ash's relentless insertion of flags.

"Saying something like that before a fight makes me feel like something bad is going to happen."

"She's just trying to play the game of raising the death flag first and then surviving."

Ash, who held the same attitude in this regard, was much more cheerful.

"Let her be."

It’s not from the Akihabara team, so where does the death flag come from... Hey, what is the Akihabara team?

"Okay, that's it!"

Seeing that the teleportation array had actually started to work under Baomei's feet after she had been busy drawing for half a day, everyone stepped forward excitedly.

"Ash always likes to do everything himself, so it must be included."

Mustering up her courage, Ayumi, who rarely took the initiative to ask for something, had her eyes filled with eagerness to try.

"Last time I was watching over the house, so this time I want to go with you, Ayumi!"

I also want to be Ash's helper again like before.
