The expression on Makoto's face also changed wonderfully with the taste, from red at the beginning to blue and purple, until finally it turned completely black like ink.

She suddenly understood the relationship between Mars and the Earth that had been mentioned before. My goodness, this was simply a Mars-Earth collision in her mouth!

"puff--"

The completely unbearable result was that she ejaculated on the spot. With her face flushed, Makoto sprayed everything she had drunk towards Ash in front of her. Half a cup of coffee fell on the plate that Ash had lifted in advance, and then dripped onto the ground along the plate.

"How rude."

"Cough cough—cough cough cough!" The girl coughed violently, complaining in a dazed voice. "What is this—is it something a human can drink?!"

The coffee is so fragrant, but why is the taste so hard to describe?

It’s not that this cup of coffee is particularly unpalatable. In fact, any thing will become unbearable once it is added too much, just like adding too much sugar will make it bitter.

Now Makoto believed that if this person didn't do it on purpose, then he would have beaten the salt seller to death while cooking.

"It's not as extreme as you say, it's just that you can't accept it."

Taking the remaining half cup of coffee, Ash raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

The method of brewing this "Martian coffee" was something Ash learned from a snake-skinned monster in the previous world. He then added some personal insights to it. Even the snake-skinned monster asked him whether he was a human after drinking it. No matter what others said, he just loved to drink it.

"What flavor is yours...wait!" Makoto realized that the cup Ash was holding was the one originally handed to her, and the temperature on her face began to rise as she thought of something.

"That! It's the one I just used—"

Isn't this the room...

"You're talking about this, I don't mind, what do you mind?"

Makoto's shyness turned into something else when she heard Ash's nonchalant response.

Her face flushed but not because of shyness but anger, and Makoto's teeth kept making "crunching" sounds because of her endurance.

"What on earth do you want?"

Finally, Makoto couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table, wanting to end this charade with Ash, but she saw Ash staring at her with some strange eyes.

"You shouldn't be the one asking this question, since you're the one who came to see me."

Putting aside his cheerful and playful mood for the time being, Ash entered a serious state, cleaned up the mess on the table, and waited for Makoto's answer.

"If you wanted to come here for coffee, you've finished your coffee now. You can turn around and leave. The door is right there."

"If you're here for something else, I can't guess what you're thinking unless you tell me."

After all, I can't read minds.

With his hands crossed and resting on his chin, Ash took in the changing conflicted expression on Makoto's face.

"Princess..."

Finally, Makoto told her why she came.

"You said you knew where Princess An was, so I'd like you to tell me!"

"so."

Ash raised his index finger and tapped the glass table top bit by bit. Every crisp sound of his nails hitting the table top seemed like the drumbeat in Makoto's heart.

"why?"

Ash asked word by word.

"The agreement was that if you won, I would tell you. I don't like to break my promise, but you didn't give me the chance. After all, you were the one who lost."

When mentioning his defeat, Makoto couldn't help but lower his head a little more.

"You've already lost, and you're still asking me this. This isn't my problem, is it? You're making it really difficult for me."

Makoto looked at the man in front of her who seemed to be smiling, made up her mind and gritted her teeth.

“I’ll do it!”

"What do you mean, I will do it?"

Hearing this, Ash became interested.

"Please tell me where Princess An is and how to save her!" Taking a deep breath, Makoto simply shouted out loudly.

Makoto understood that even if Ash knew, he had no obligation to tell her the princess's whereabouts, not to mention that he was her enemy, so it was even more impossible for him to tell her now.

But for the hope of the Poker Kingdom, to repay the princess's kindness, and to save her most important friend, she will not back down!

"As a reward, I'll do anything...!"

Chapter 37 Are You a Naughty Boy?

After hearing Makoto's words, Ash finally stopped tapping on the table.

Although the girl in front of him might not know what her words actually meant, it was obvious that she really cared about Princess An of the Poker Kingdom.

It’s such a touching hymn to loyalty and friendship that it almost brought me to tears.

It's a lie, it hasn't been released yet.

"You said you'd do anything, right?"

Makoto felt goose bumps on her back when Ash looked at her with an inexplicably dangerous gaze. Now she felt even more uncomfortable all over. This feeling, like being stared at by a hunting beast, made her want to run away and escape from this place that was gradually becoming terrifying.

But Makoto still suppressed her urge to do so. For the sake of the princess, she endured it.

You can't run away! You can't run away! You can't run away! Makoto, if you run away here, all your efforts will be in vain!

Unconsciously, as Ash kept getting closer and Makoto kept retreating, until Makoto had nowhere to retreat and her back was pressed tightly against the back of the chair, the two of them had become very close to a very dangerous level. Ash raised his arm and rested it on the top of Makoto's head, looking at the girl with interest as her eyes wandered in his shadow.

Could it be that... the so-called request is - me?!

Suddenly she thought of some unpleasant developments, and as Ash's scrutinizing eyes kept sweeping over her, Makoto's face gradually turned red. But as she looked up at Ash who was so close to her, she thought of the princess in her heart, and she cooed and endured it.

I'm fine, it's okay, it's okay. I'm Pretty Cure, I can endure anything...

Just as the girl was daydreaming, the human-shaped shadow covering her moved away, letting in the sunlight. Ash sat back down with a bored look on his face.

“I’m not interested in tablets.”

"..."

Makoto, with the warmth still on his face, also sat back down.

Although it’s a good thing that nothing was done to me, why am I so unhappy about it?!

What is a tablet? - I'm only 14 years old, and you have a problem thinking like that!

"What tablet? It will definitely grow up..." Makoto muttered softly with a pout as she sat back in her seat.

"Then come back when you grow up."

......

This person is so annoying! Not only is his reason so bizarre, but there's more! Anyway, I'm definitely not going to see him again from now on!

"Whatever you want me to do, as long as it's something I can do—I, I will do it!"

"Miss, you are playing with fire by saying such things to someone like me, do you understand?"

He pulled out a stack of playing cards from under the table beside him. With just a wave of his hands, the thick stack of cards disappeared from Ash's hands. When the two hands crossed, they reappeared in his hands. The cards jumped and clattered in his palms as if they were given life.

I used to think BIG ONE looked so cool when he was cutting cards, but this hand he has now is the result of him spending a lot of time practicing.

Makoto was dazzled by the man's skill in cutting and shuffling the cards. The girl, not knowing what hand he was playing, waited nervously for the result. Ash didn't let Makoto wait too long. With a twist of his fingers, three cards fell neatly in front of Makoto and were arranged in an orderly manner.

"If you're really willing to do anything."

Uncover the playing cards one by one, and the three cards are: Ace of Hearts, Queen of Diamonds, and King of Clubs.

"So go and knock all your friends down, then?"

"you--!"

Anger rose in an instant, and Makoto was surprised at Ash's shamelessness. Although she said she was willing to do anything, she never thought that Ash would actually let her do such a thing!

Although Kenzaki Makoto is a lone ranger who doesn't want to interact with other Pretty Cures at first, it doesn't mean that she hates other Pretty Cures. Even if they are not teammates, she has no reason to be hostile to them, not to mention that now that she truly accepts the other three as friends, she doesn't want them to be hurt because of her.

But what if the person who hurt them is themselves?

The angry eyes gradually turned cold.

"how dare you!"

"Why don't I dare?"

Yaxiu asked the girl confidently, and was stared at by those fearless eyes. Now Makoto felt a chill in his heart. He supported his knees with both hands, and his cold face became even worse.

"I've already told you that you're playing with fire by saying this to me."

"If you were defeated by your trusted companions, what would they think of you, the Pretty Cures? And how would they view you?"

Ash tilted his head with a half-smile, looking curious.

"Even when they're defeated, will they desperately call out your name, hoping to know the truth and save you? Or will they curse out loud in anger because of betrayal?"

"People like you are the worst!"

Facing the girl's angry scolding, Ash, who was already used to such looks, shrugged. "I'm not forcing you. You can choose not to do it."

Of course I won't do that! I won't betray them!

But if I don't do it...will the only chance slip away from me, and I may lose the chance to save Princess An forever?

When she thought of this possibility, fear and guilt turned into poisonous snakes that began to gnaw at Makoto's heart frantically. She couldn't help but think about the possibility of this happening over and over again.

But how could I betray Mana and the others, and my friends, just for my own ideas!

However, I don't want to give up on Princess An just like that...Princess, please, if you're still here, please guide me!

“Do, don’t, do, don’t…”

Ash kept muttering to himself like a madman, and just watched as Makoto's trembling hand slowly rose and grabbed the playing cards on the table.

He just watched and watched.

Until Makoto's hand was on the Ace of Hearts, and she was about to make a choice, Ash grabbed Makoto's fair wrist and put all three cards into his pocket.

"Okay, that's it."

"!"

Makoto, waking up from a dream, looked down at her hands, then looked at the empty table and the sweet smile on Ash's face. The anger she felt at being tricked doubled, multiplied, and super-multiplied and the flames of anger were about to burst out of the girl's eyes.

She wished she could turn into Ghost Rider right now, burn his evil thoughts and see what he was thinking!

"You, you're playing tricks on me on purpose!"

"Bingo, correct." Ash sat up from the sofa and snapped his fingers. A Jack of Spades landed in his hand. He twisted the card to hide his face, which was halfway smiling. "Too bad there's no reward this time."

From the beginning, Ash didn't think that she would betray her companions for her own ideas. Such a thing was probably not within the consideration of Pretty Cure at all. Ash just wanted to see what interesting dilemma she would get into.

"I'm not usually in the habit of letting others do this kind of thing for me. If possible, I'd prefer to do it myself. Yo, are you angry?"

"......"

"If you're not a villain who can turn against you at any time, don't make such promises lightly. Do you understand now?"

I thought about a lot of random things, even fighting with my own conscience. In a long animation, this is where I would insert five or six episodes of flashbacks, and you tell me you are kidding me?

Of course, she was relieved that Ash finally grabbed her hand, which prevented her from making a choice in the end.

Of course, I will still be angry when I should be angry.

Makoto puffed up her face and turned her head away, deliberately avoiding looking at Ash.

"No more playing around. I won't lie to you this time. Let me think about what the whole request is... Listen carefully."

After thinking about it, Ash finally came up with a good idea.

Now after hearing his words, Makoto finally turned her head and looked at him. Even though she was reluctant, she was the one who needed help from Ash.
