Chapter 85 You Are My Lucky Goddess

“No… No…”

A girl waved her hands back and forth in front of her face, trying to hide her current expression, and turned her face away. However, this action just sparked Ash’s long-hidden joy. With rare interest, he approached without concern while in manager mode.

“What’s wrong?”

Oh, interesting. I haven’t seen such reactions from others when I said that before. Let me see!

“No…”

“No?”

“Don’t suddenly show off after making everyone angry like this!!!”

Do you know how hard it is for me to keep my cool like this?!

Erika suddenly roared, hitting Ash’s unguarded ears directly. The man was so shocked by her scream that he sat back down on the bed.

Why are you shouting so loudly?!

“You must be helping me… I won’t fall for it!!”

Her curled mouth continued to shout out loud. Erika used all her strength to swing her arms, striking an attack stance at Ash like a fighter train, which was stopped by Ash holding her forehead with one hand.

“Why can’t you accept compliments?”

“Aaahhhhhhhh!”

“Stop doing those fighter train moves.”

After a chaotic episode, Erika finally calmed down. Sitting together, they silently faced each other. At this moment, a crucial question surfaced in her mind.

Okay, I’m done asking questions. Now what…

Huh? What am I here for again?

“Is there anything else?”

“Not that I can think of.”

I seem to have forgotten something, but if I forgot it, it couldn’t have been important anyway. I’m so smart!

“That’s good. Since you’re here, don’t just stand there. Help me.”

Ash got up, rolled up his sleeves, and handed Erika a broom.

“It’s too messy; help me clean up.”

“Why didn’t you clean earlier?!”

Staring straight into Erika’s eyes, Ash confidently said, “I didn’t feel like wasting time on this.”

You’re just lazy!

Facing Ash’s nonchalant tone, Erika was speechless. Can you seriously say that so straightforwardly?

Erika had to take up the broom and sweep away garbage, careful not to throw away Ash’s collectibles.

“This is so troublesome.” x2

However, even after sweeping a tiny bit, both felt exhausted within minutes, as if several hours had passed.

This is so troublesome. I remember someone used to help me clean. What happened this time?

There’s no choice. After Lily comes tomorrow, I’ll discuss with her, give her a raise, and ask her to clean regularly. Doing it myself is too troublesome.

“Troublesome… Ah, Caffrey!” While thinking the same as Ash, Erika dragged Caffrey upstairs, extending a hand as if asking for something.

“What’s up? I don’t have anything.”

“Well, give me the Ocean Magic Wand. If the wand’s energy can purify the Desert Beast, why not use it to make the room tidy?”

“Are you serious?! You want to use a Pretty Cure weapon to clean?! That’s too casual! Don’t you realize you’re a Precure?!”

“So what? I’m helping the manager right now. Our mission is to help others; using Pretty Cure power to help the manager is the same, no?”

“That might make sense… Wait, it doesn’t make sense at all!”

“I don’t care. Cleaning is a hassle, give me the wand!”

“All right, cut it out.” Ash finally restrained Erika’s playful antics, not wanting her to find out about the hidden things in his room that could cause trouble if she knew about the Doon Seal’s unbalanced power.

Thinking about this, Ash sighed. The problem was, he wanted to craft something himself, but he couldn’t do so until he figured out how to handle the imbalance within the Doon Seal.

“Say, Erika?” Ash drifted off while thinking about the seal, then casually asked. “What would you do if something important becomes too prominent to use effectively?”

“Too prominent? You mean your coffee?”

Not understanding Ash’s meaning, Erika thought he was talking about the café’s affairs. “Your coffee is too bitter. Why not add some sugar?”

Add sugar to balance…

Erika’s words woke Ash up to the problem. He suddenly realized what was wrong.

That’s right. If it’s dark power, I’m quite familiar with it, but it makes handling the seal difficult. I cannot deplete or replace it with Dark Echo; otherwise, the enhancement becomes meaningless.

In that case, why not try the traditional way—using light to counteract darkness?

Ash’s brain swiftly spun, immediately looking at the two “enhancement units” coated with Erika’s blood. According to theory, the blood in a Pretty Cure’s body should also possess energy…

Ignoring Erika’s strange gaze, Ash plugged in the wires and began testing data on his computer. He wasn’t worried about being exposed, because even if Erika saw the dancing numbers, she wouldn’t understand their significance.

“What are you up to…” Predictably, Erika pouted after watching for a while before feeling bored. Her eyes darted to the refrigerator.

“Let’s see if there’s any other drink…” Opening the fridge door, Erika instantly froze, her eyes blank. She struggled to comprehend what she was seeing.

What is this… This looks like the one I’ve seen before—

“Hahahaha!” A contagious laughter behind her broke Erika’s thoughts. Before she could react, she was lifted up and spun around.

“Great, these readings! It worked!”

Trying to input Erika’s data, i.e., the Pretty Cure data, into the seal’s power, had yielded positive results. This method was indeed feasible!

The issue that had troubled Ash for a long time was resolved thanks to Erika’s unintentional remark. He felt delighted beyond words and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

“What are you doing? Stop—”

“Hahahaha, I love you, Erika! You’re my lucky goddess!”

At this moment, Ash’s words made her forget all worries, surprise, and concerns. All that remained were his cryptic words.
