Chapter 135

The Twenty-Ninth Great Adventure

On the other side, hearing Ai’s passionate speech here, Ash suddenly interrupted.

“Hey hey, Ai, friends don’t go this far.”

“No, if it’s for a friend, we would do so, no, even greater!”

The same term held two different meanings in the philosophies of these two individuals.

“We will protect the world, save the Poker Kingdom, and talk to the Selfish King, telling him not to invade any longer, not to be so selfish anymore!”

“Because we are the Pretty Cure!”

Including Makoto who had rallied herself, the rekindled friendships allowed the girls to stand firmly together.

Pretty Cure…the legendary warriors seemed different from heroes she had ever met.

“How amazing, Pretty Cure.”

“Guh~Mana! I’m here too, over here!”

Regina, who had been waiting to be discovered, suddenly realized that her body was completely blocked by the tall Ash, causing her to stretch out her hand and jump repeatedly in frustration. Her red bow on top bounced along, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Regina! You’re here too.” Ai let out a surprised exclamation, noticing the presence of the blonde girl. However, upon looking at Regina jumping behind Ash and Ash’s calm demeanor, she looked puzzled.

“Um, Mr. Ash, and Regina?”

“Ash is already mine!”

Like a child showing off an expensive toy, Regina happily wrapped her arms around Ash’s arm, who seemed to have given up.

This was the second time Ash had his arm grabbed. He wondered why his arm was so fascinating.

An awkward silence lingered among the girls for a moment. Then, after a collective “Eeeh?!” from everyone but Makoto, chaos erupted among the girls.

“Ash, Mr.?” Rikka’s hand and voice trembled slightly as she pointed at Regina. “Have you truly betrayed us?”

“When did you start thinking we were comrades?” Ash responded calmly. “I only said those things were up to you, not that we were friends.”

Isn’t she supposed to be Square?

“What a mean thing to say… No, you were always this arrogant, how did you suddenly join the Selfish Organization?!”

“It’s because of my generosity!”

Puffing up non-existent chest, Regina proudly looked around, expecting praise. She seemed not to care about whether she was using her father’s money to support someone else.

“Generous… Is that so?”

Hearing this, Arisu tapped her chin reflectively.

“I think it’s great that Regina and Mr. Ash are friends.”

After the initial shock, Ai quickly accepted this setting.

In her view, since she became friends with Regina and Ash was friends with Regina then…probably? It increased the chances of her becoming friends with Ash!

What is this? This is like the friend of a friend is also my friend, exactly what I expected!

“Makoto, come here, let’s play!”

While Ai was contemplating, Regina reached out to Ai.

“Oh…”

But when faced with Regina’s invitation, Ai recalled Makoto’s discomfort earlier. Looking back, she indeed saw Makoto’s sad expression.

“I’m sorry Makoto, I still want to become friends with Regina because… I think she isn’t actually bad.”

Makoto didn’t respond. After Ash’s earlier mouthy remarks, she nodded slightly. But she still felt uncomfortable inside.

Certainly… I still can’t help but feel confused.

“Makoto, even Regina might not understand this herself.”

Seeing Makoto’s dejected face, Rikka and Arisu came over to comfort her.

“I think it’s because her intuition told her she could become friends with Regina and that’s why she feels this way. Her intuition is usually right.”

“After all, she trusts her feelings more than her thoughts, so she naturally acts quickly based on what she feels.”

As Ai’s childhood friends, they knew more, which allowed them to explain things Makoto couldn’t.

“Although very worrying, as friends we will trust her.”

Of course, it would be nice if the happy prince didn’t attract so much attention from other girls!

It must be exhausting being a swallow.

Lastly, Rikka added to her thoughts.

“Pffft… Ai, wouldn’t it be hard without you two friends?”

“Makoto P, you’re being too harsh! Although it’s surprising, I can’t really argue.”

Seeing Ai feeling embarrassed, Makoto chuckled, immediately smoothing out the knot in her heart, feeling much better.

“Hold on, why ignore me?!”

Seeing Pretty Cure acting harmoniously, Regina sensed she was being ignored, lifted her round-heeled shoe, and angrily stamped her foot.

“Regina?” Ai hurriedly called out, but just as she did, Regina grabbed Ash’s arm and pointed at his gear gun.

“Makoto only needs me as a friend! Ash, use your gun and summon something again, drive everyone away!”

“That won’t work, Mr. Ash, Regina, stop!”

“The self-appointed princess of commanding, aren’t you?” Sighing softly, it’s understandable why Ash found it awkward to refuse.

Let’s play with them a bit more; I’ve wanted to test its power.

He opened the cover on the gear gun, flipped the Adventurer gear face-up, closed the cover, and started spinning the knob in music.

[BIGBANG]!

“Not good, that gun summons heroes from TV to fight with us!”

Seeing this, remembering the terrifying experience where her chest was almost crushed, Ai promptly alerted her companions, but what was about to happen differed even from what she thought.

“This is special.”

[Adventurer]!

Pulling the trigger, a massive mist sprayed out, summoning not the Buzzle战队 that had beaten CureSword, but a huge toy box printed with some robot design.

“I’ve seen this at the toy store under my father,” Arisu nodded. Her wealthy father gave her plenty of robot toys too.

“Toys? Oh no— no toys this big!”

Rika totally disagreed with Arisu’s statement, leading to intense criticism.

The box stood tall in the center of the city slowly opened to reveal its contents, two enormous mechanical hands grabbing the edges, stepping heavily and standing up.

Seeing its massive head, it was clear this was no toy.

Because now, the adventurer Buzzle Gattai, composed of five giant mechanicals, wielding a shovel and pickaxe, weighing 3000 tons and standing 47 meters tall, Super Robot [Great Adventure]!

Now it is genuinely standing before them.

“It’s a real robot!”

Looking at the towering robot casting a shadow over the sky, the girls’ shock rendered Ai nearly speechless.

“How cool, this is so cool!”

Ignoring Ash’s slightly painful expression, Regina looked up at the summoned Great Adventure and cheered, pointing towards Pretty Cure.

“Attack, kick everyone but Makoto aside!”

With a heavy step, Great Adventure stomped down above the girls, landing with force.
