Kyoichi Takagi finally defeated the monstrous Demon God. He was so ready to go back home to his own world. But then, the huge explosion from that final battle sent him flying into another weird dimension!
This time, he crashed onto a rooftop right where two legendary warriors, the 'PreCure', were fighting a monster. His cheat powers still worked, which was awesome, but something crazy happened. He'd somehow turned into a fairy-like being, the kind the PreCure use to transform and get stronger!
Thrown Into the World of Pretty Cure - A Morning Sun That Tears Through the Darkness — A New Everyday Life We Greet Together
The Abyss Lord vanished into the rift in spacetime.
The thick darkness that had covered the sky slowly peeled away, as if a curtain were being drawn back.
The rooftop of Akatsuki Academy was wrapped in a strange stillness.
The aftermath of battle still lingered in the air. The smell of scorched concrete. The fence, still lying collapsed. Shards of glass scattered everywhere glittered and sparkled, reflecting the first rays of morning sun streaming in from the eastern sky.
Nagisa sat slumped on the rooftop floor, her tattered uniform unchanged since her transformation had worn off.
She was breathing heavily. Her hands were still trembling faintly.
"...It's over."
Beside her, a small golden light floated gently.
It was Kyoichi. Still in his fairy form, his glow had also weakened from the exhaustion of his magical power.
"...Yeah. What a pain in the ass that fight was."
Kyoichi said that and plopped down onto Nagisa's shoulder.
A gentle, warm magical power radiated from his tiny body.
Nagisa stared at her wrist.
There, two rings intertwined in a spiral of gold and crimson light—the *Twin Light Oath Rings*—were shining.
Proof of their contract. A forbidden bond that shared their lives and souls.
A single tear spilled from her blue eyes.
"Thank you, Kyoichi-kun."
Her voice trembled.
"For the first time, I felt it. That I'm not alone anymore... I truly felt that."
She gently placed her hand on the shoulder where Kyoichi rested.
Golden light spilled through the gaps between her fingers.
"...You idiot. You only just realized that now?"
Kyoichi looked up at the sky, embarrassed.
His tiny body glowed just a little brighter.
"I... knew it from the start. That you're not alone."
With a tearful smile, Nagisa looked down at the city.
Morning sunlight was pouring into the city of Tokyo.
The windows of the buildings were dyed orange, and she could feel the air slowly warming up. In the distance, she could hear birds chirping.
The first commuters emerged from the subway station.
A convenience store clerk was opening the shutters.
People were starting their morning as usual. Due to the influence of the Memory Veil, no one remembered the events of last night. The sky being covered in darkness, the roar of the Gloom echoing—it had all vanished from people's memories, like a bad dream.
"...It's so normal."
Kyoichi murmured.
"The city's moving like it always does. Nobody remembers what happened. That we fought desperately, that you endured it while on the verge of tears... they don't know any of it."
"...That's right."
Nagisa nodded quietly.
"But that's okay. That's just how Pretty Cure is."
She tried to stand up.
But—
The strength left her knees. Her vision swayed violently. The fatigue of battle crashed down on her entire body at once.
"...Ah."
As her body was about to collapse—
A golden light gently enveloped her.
Kyoichi had returned to his human form. His slightly long, black short hair, deep brown eyes. With his 175cm frame, he firmly supported Nagisa's body.
"...Don't push yourself, idiot."
His voice sounded angry, but it was also incredibly gentle.
Nagisa buried her face in Kyoichi's chest.
So warm. His magical power flowed into her through the Twin Light bond on her wrist.
She felt strength slowly returning to her exhausted body.
"...Thanks."
Nagisa whispered quietly.
"...It's a pain, but well, being with you isn't so bad."
Kyoichi turned his face away to hide his embarrassment and looked up at the sky.
But his arms held Nagisa firmly.
On their wrists, the Twin Light bond shone in the morning sun. The gold and crimson light mixed together, flickering as if it were alive.
Nagisa leaned against Kyoichi's shoulder.
Perhaps from the release of battle tension, a sudden wave of drowsiness washed over her. Her breathing slowly steadied.
"...She fell asleep."
Kyoichi looked at Nagisa's sleeping face and chuckled softly.
Her sleeping face was so peaceful. Her usual strong-willed expression was gone, and she slept defenselessly, like an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl. It was as if she had forgotten all the wounds and fatigue of battle.
Kyoichi lifted Nagisa onto his back.
She wasn't heavy. Her weight and warmth pressed against his back.
"...Let's go home."
He quietly started walking towards the rooftop stairs.
The city was beginning a new day.
The battle of heroes no one knew about quietly came to a close in the morning sun.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When they returned to the apartment, the room was dim.
Kyoichi laid Nagisa on the bed and lay down beside her.
Looking up at the ceiling, he could faintly see the old wood grain. How long had it been since he started living here?
He closed his eyes.
It was then—
He realized his throat was parched.
Come to think of it, he hadn't had anything to drink after the battle.
"...I want some water."
Nagisa, who should have been asleep next to him, suddenly murmured in her sleep.
Startled, Kyoichi looked beside him.
Nagisa was still asleep. But her lips moved slightly.
"...Huh?"
That just now—no way.
Kyoichi tried thinking about something else as a test.
(*I'm hungry too. I want something sweet to eat.*)
"...I want pudding."
Nagisa murmured in her sleep.
"You've gotta be kidding me."
Kyoichi looked at the Twin Light bond shining on his wrist.
Apparently, by activating the Oath Rings during the battle of the Abyssal High Tide, their magical resonance had completely stabilized. Until now, it had only happened during moments of strong emotion—but now, their sensations and emotions were constantly flowing into each other.
Kyoichi stared at the ceiling, his lips tightening.
Nagisa's sleeping breaths continued rhythmically. The bed shook slightly each time, and her hair brushed against his shoulder.
(*...Is this going to keep going forever?*)
The moment he thought that—
Her eyelids twitched.
"...Kyoichi-kun."
Nagisa woke up.
Her blue eyes gazed at Kyoichi hazily.
Tears were welling up in those eyes.
"...I was just having a dream."
Nagisa slowly sat up.
A tear traced a path down her cheek.
"Blood-soaked ground... cold rain... and then, a woman. She was beautiful. She seemed so very kind."
Kyoichi's heart thumped loudly.
(*...Lilia.*)
Nagisa continued.
"That person was collapsed... and you were crying and shouting. Over and over... saying 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry.'"
She reached out and touched Kyoichi's cheek.
Her trembling fingers gently wiped away the traces of his tears.
"Your wounds, your pain... I understand all of it. It's flowing into me right now."
The glow of the Twin Light Oath Rings intensified.
Their memories and emotions were completely shared.
Nagisa embraced Kyoichi.
She held his body tightly.
"Kyoichi-kun."
Her voice was gentle, but strong.
"This time, I'm here."
Kyoichi's body trembled.
"I'll never leave you alone. When you're sad, I'll support you. When you're suffering, I'll be by your side."
"...Cut it out, that tickles."
Kyoichi tried to escape from her arms.
But—
Her warmth was just too comforting.
"...Alright."
Kyoichi resigned himself and wrapped his arms around her back.
He hugged her back.
"...Thank you, Nagisa."
How long did they stay like that?
Eventually, Nagisa lifted her face.
Her blue eyes looked straight into Kyoichi's deep brown eyes.
And then—
She gently pressed her lips to his.
It wasn't a kiss for sharing magical power like last time, nor a kiss for a contract. It was their first, spontaneous kiss.
A soft sensation.
A warm breath.
Kyoichi closed his eyes and accepted her.
It was a long, long kiss.
As if the fatigue of battle, the pain of loneliness, and—their feelings for each other were all melting together.
After some time, Nagisa gently pulled her face away. Her fingertips touched the corner of Kyoichi's lips.
"...You really are a good kisser, aren't you."
"...Shut up."
Kyoichi turned his face away and looked up at the ceiling.
Nagisa giggled and buried her face in Kyoichi's chest.
"...So warm."
She said it like a whisper.
"I can feel Kyoichi-kun's body heat so clearly. Maybe it's because of the Twin Light bond. The inside of my body feels gently warm."
"...Is that so."
Kyoichi gently stroked her hair.
Her light brown, semi-long hair. It was a little disheveled from the battle, but it still felt smooth and pleasant against his fingers.
Just like that, feeling each other's warmth—they quietly fell asleep.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The next morning.
*Ding-dong.*
The sound of the doorbell woke Kyoichi up.
Looking beside him, Nagisa was still sleeping soundly. Her sleeping face looked more peaceful than yesterday, as if she felt safe.
*Ding-dong.*
"...Who is it, this early in the morning."
Kyoichi got up sluggishly and opened the door.
There—
Yamitsuki Akane was standing there.
Her short bob had black hair with red streaks. Her odd eyes—left eye red, right eye black. Her left hand, clad in her usual fingerless glove, fidgeted restlessly.
"...G-good morning. Takagi Kyoichi."
Akane greeted him with a tense expression.
"Ah, Akane. What's up, so early in the morning?"
"Um... I came to check on Misumi-san."
Just then—
"...Mmm, Kyoichi-kun? Did someone come?"
Nagisa poked her face out from the bedroom, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Her uniform was still tattered, and her hair was a mess from bedhead. And more than anything—
Seeing the two of them emerge from the bedroom together, Akane's face turned bright red.
"S-s-s-sorry! Was I interrupting?! I'll leave right now!!"
Akane hastily tried to turn on her heel.
"No!! It's not like that, Akane-san!!"
Nagisa, her face bright red, grabbed Akane's arm.
"This is, well, we were tired after the battle, and so we just slept together—!"
"...Saying that much just makes it sound more suspicious."
Kyoichi muttered a retort.
"Kyoichi-kun, be quiet!!"
The three of them settled down inside the room for the time being.
Akane sat on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, and finally broached the main subject. Her expression had changed from her earlier embarrassment to a serious one.
"...My Shadow-Bearing ability has been strengthened."
She removed the glove from her left hand.
The black crest floating on the back of her hand was clearer than before, writhing as if pulsing.
"It's probably the influence of the Abyssal High Tide. Until now, I could only sense Gloom within a range of a few kilometers at most. But now—"
Akane closed her eyes.
The red pupil of her left eye glowed faintly.
"I can sense the presence across the entire Tokyo area as if I were holding it in my hand. And—"
Her expression grew even more severe.
"From the deepest part of the abandoned mine network... I can still intermittently feel a faint dark reaction."
"You mean there's still something there?"
Kyoichi's voice lowered.
"Yes. But it's too faint to know the details. It's as if—something is slowly growing..."
Akane looked down anxiously.
Nagisa gently took her hand.
"Thank you for telling us, Akane-san."
Akane looked up in surprise.
"Having you here is really reassuring. We wouldn't have noticed it on our own."
"...Misumi-san."
Akane's eyes grew moist.
For the first time, she showed a truly happy smile.
"...I'm being useful."
"Of course. You're our precious friend."
At Nagisa's words, Akane wiped away her tears.
Just then—
A holographic screen suddenly projected onto the wall of the room.
"Good morning, everyone."
It was an emergency communication from Beatrice.
The silver-haired old woman maintained her usual calm expression—but a clear hint of tension showed in her golden eyes.
"I have analyzed the Abyss Lord's words at the time of his retreat."
She manipulated the holographic screen with her staff.
A voice mixed with noise played back.
*'...Next time, I shall destroy your bond... as my finest work of art.'*
It was the eerie voice of the Abyss Lord.
"He has not completely re
