Chapter 377

Hundred and Tenth: Precure and Kamen Rider Hybrid Squad, Assemble!

“So, wearing a ring on the left ring finger means…”

Among the three Demons present, Uratarro, who was quite skilled in matters of affection, raised his hand as an example.

“On the right ring finger, it means you’re in a passionate period with your lover, and planning to get married.” Then Uratarro returned his right hand, grabbed, and lifted Ash’s left hand. The wooden golden ring on his hand was shining brightly. “On the left ring finger, it means you’re already married, symbolizing loyalty to love and marriage. That’s why the ladies got so excited, and it’s also understandable.”

What nonsense! What’s there to be excited about? Do they want to marry me? Hell no, what kind of comedic plot point is this? It’s not like in classic episodes where couples pretend to get married.

Could it be… Ah, I get it. It’s like when grown-ups talk about marrying their dads… something of that sort isn’t unusual to hear.

“So what’s the logic here?” Ash touched his fingers, his expression subtly twisted. “Isn’t it just a ring? Wearing it on different fingers has different meanings. What a joke?”

I’ve seen the magician wear rings all the time, and he doesn’t worry about such silly things.

Whatever ring I choose to wear is my business! If I were to wear ten rings on my fingers, I’d do it without hesitation!

“After all, because emotions are intangible, people create symbolic objects.” Finished teaching, Uratarro nodded in satisfaction. “Emotions are fascinating. Even more compelling than our mission. I can’t help but be intrigued~ Indeed, it’s hard to resist!”

“Tch, after all these words, still just a lecherous man!”

“Senior, how impolite!”

Ignoring the bickering Demons, Ash turned back to Lei and the others. After resolving the misunderstanding and gradually realizing what had happened, the two embarrassed girls’ faces turned red with shame.

“So Ash! Is the manager really unattached?”

But thinking about it, wouldn’t this make me… Just as Ash was interrupting them, Lei asked.

“Not learning properly, yet worrying about me? Humph, I don’t have any such plans!”

I know, marriage is the end of passion. I certainly won’t marry!

“I don’t think I’ll fall for anything…” Just as he said that, a pure white, delicate veil flashed in his mind, causing a momentary pause before continuing indifferently. “Strange, I haven’t had enough fun—my standards are high. I’m not planning to marry anyone now, but why are you reacting so strongly?”

If I were another character, maybe I’d feel embarrassed. Not me. Only I can act recklessly; it never occurs to me to let someone else take over!

“You’re students, aren’t you? Not studying properly but daydreaming!”

Ash’s words left the two girls speechless. Didn’t you always act the most irresponsible?

“But, even so…!” Lei, with courage in her face, shouted loudly. “Even as a girl, I dream about getting married!”

“When Manager told us not to misunderstand…”

Watching Lei grow more agitated, Ash clenched his fist, ready to intervene!

“You scatter-brained pink light fool, reflect!”

“Waaah… it hurts, sorry…”

Seeing Lei kneeling in repentance, Erika retreated, bumping into Wuki’s chest who smiled awkwardly.

“That’s right, Wuki, don’t let her go. And what about you, Miss Erika?”

With a smile, Ash directed this question towards Erika, feeling the situation was getting worse.

“I agree with Lei! Can such an insensitive manager support the Precures well?”

“What does understanding the heart have to do with being a supporter!”

The second fist made tears well up in Erika’s eyes.

“And if crying helps, police officers would be useless!”

“Waaa, can such a prankster be called a grown-up?!”

Feeling unjust, Erika retorted fiercely, then received another hit, crying louder.

“The manager is a cruel demon!”

“Is this the problem? Your delusions, not the manager’s fault!”

Seriously, kids on TV fight giant monsters, yet at home, they’re so peculiar.

With clout, Ash gave each troublemaker a knock. Watching them reflect on their actions by rubbing their heads, Ash nodded in approval and started asking Wuki about another important matter.

“You came together from outside, right? Have you seen Lily?”

“Lily? No, we haven’t…”

“Listen, you two,” Tatsuo interrupted Ash’s search for Lily with a questioning tone, “Have you seen any Demons?”

“You are?”

“No, I mean bad Demons!”

Tatsuo got upset, pointing at Kintaros. “This bear, the idiot! We catch Demons and disperse them, yet he forgets to contain them, and now we don’t know where they went!”

“Huh…?”

Ash let out a long question, irritation sweeping over him. Why is another group spoiling everything?!

Eddie’s useless presence aside, these Demons… Damn!

An unpleasant feeling crept over as if someone else was eyeing his belongings…

It was frustrating! Determined, Ash snapped his fingers, startling the bickering Demons into silence.

I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.

“Heartcatch Precure team! Den-O team, assemble urgently!”

After the order, both girls and Demons gathered. Ash slipped off the butler suit, instantly swapping into a black, stylish coat, wielding a cane.

“Alright, everyone, remember. Our goal: to find the lost Team Member Moonlight Lily and defeat the rogue Demons intruding in our world, showing them our true power, and regaining the peace of Hopeflower Town!”

“Ummm… What are we doing?”

Before Erika finished grumbling, the cane pointed towards her, then suddenly a large hand appeared instead.

“Manager…”

“It’s okay to wonder… How about I treat you to barbecue when we return?”

“Really?!”

Lightening up, the initially depressed Precures immediately regained their vigor. A manager-organized barbecue was rare!

“Now, everyone, mobilize immediately!”

The cane swung, striking the misbehaving Demons. Everyone stood tall in salute.

“Yes, sir!”

“Call me Commander.”

“Yes, sir!”

Ash waved his cane into the distance.

Ah, I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.
