Well, with the introductions out of the way,

Oh No! The School is a Maze!?
Hey, what's up?
So Akechi-san, where'd you come from?
Um, the Chairwoman let me enroll—
You do any sports or clubs?
Do you have a mobile phone?
You wanna be e-pals?
Uhh... "e-pals"?
Me too!!
Wahh!!
Uhm... well...
Anna.
Just take your time, okay?
Sorry 'bout that!
It's pretty rare to see someone transfer in 'round this time of year.
Can we call you Anna?
Yeah, of course!
You believe in occult stuff?
Like that rumor about the seventh month!
Seventh month?
Everybody's been talking 'bout it lately.
The year 1999, seventh month.
From the sky will come a great King of Terror.
So they say.
It's just a rumor though, of course.
You don't say...
Oh yeah, so you two live in the same house, right?
How're you two related, anyway?
Believe it or not...
In truth, the two of us are...
Detectives!
My card.
Ehh!?
Shubababababa!
Detectives!?
That's amazing, Mikuru!
How come you never told us?
No matter the mystery, Hanamaru Case Closed!
Leave it all up to the Curetto Detective Agency!
And what's more!
Would you believe it? We're actually the Star Detective Prec—
Gyahh!!
Hey! The Precure thing's supposed to be a secret!
Oh yeah...
Pochi-pochi!
What's that noise?
A mobile phone?
Pochi-pochi!
Ahh!
— U-uhm, you see... — This is, uh...
There's the bell.
Let's chat later then, 'kay?
Pochi!
Yep, figures.
Shhh, okay?
Pochi!
Hmm...
A Precure who traveled here from a different time...
Usonoir-sama.
I understand the Tome of Mirages has revealed the location of a new Makoto Jewel.
Allow your humble Gouemon to set forth and retrieve it for you!
Rookies. You two shall come with.
Hahh??
And why should we have to...
Okay, we'll do it.
Eh!?
Well, if Luluka says so...
We shall plunder that Makoto Jewel, without fail!
Lie Lie, Sir!
Lie Lie, Sir.
This school sure is huge though, huh.
Next is the science lab?
Pretty sure I'm gonna get lost between every period.
Thought you might say that!
Ta-da!
Woah! It's a map of the whole school!

Smart girl!
Hm?
What's this...?
Why, Pochitan of course!
Pochi!?
Huh...
A spitting image!
Pochi!?
Let's see... Go across here, then turn right for the science lab.
Huh?
Wow!
What a giant sakura tree!
They say it's been here since the school was founded!
Woah... That's so cool!
Wait a sec! Aren't we gonna be late?
You're right!
Oho... So the Precure are here.
I had better make haste, and plunder that Makoto Jewel.
Wait.
Hm?
What is it, rookie?
The Precure who traveled here from another time...
Aren't you curious?
Nijee lost to them the other day, you know. That fairy seems to be hiding something important.
Hmm... Then I happen to have an idea.
Pray tell. Should the Precure fall into trouble, how will that fairy react?
Let us find out!
With my magnificent technique!
Science Lab
C'mon, hurry up!
Just in the nick of... huh?
This isn't the science lab?
What's going on?
Welcome to my Trick Maze!
Thieves' Guild PHANTOM!
You're here for another Makoto Jewel, aren't you?
...wait, trick maze?
Hmph.
My powers have tangled this school into an otherworldly dimension, awash with mystery!
I have transformed it into a Trick Maze!
The two of you must now solve many a mystery.
Should you fail, on even one of them...
Then you shall be trapped in this maze for all eternity!
For all eternity!?
You're kidding!
Allow me to guide you to the first mystery.
Eh?
Wah!
Ahh!
Owwie...
Where are we?
The science lab?
Pochi...
It's not opening!
Same with the other door, it looks like.
You mean we're trapped in here!?
We gotta think of something...
Pochi!
A keyhole!
Escape, if you dare!
To open the door, a key is required.
Follow the safety rules of the science lab, and find that key!
So in order to get out of here, we need to find a key.
Alright... Let's get to it!
Nothing. Nothing!
Nothing!!
Pochi!
I can't find it anywhere!
"Follow the safety rules of the science lab, and find that key."
The safety rules of the science lab...
Anna, over here!
What's up?
Look at this.
Yeah, it says "FIRE" here...
By "safety rules", could he be talking about this?
Perhaps...
We use fire for experiments in the science lab, so there are definitely rules we gotta follow.
If you accidentally turn the fire up too much, you must put it out right away.
Put out the fire...
We just need to put out this fire!
The fire on the poster here? But how?
I'll show you...
Like this!
Hey, something's happening!
Ahh! It's a key!
We did it!
An admirable start.
However. Can you solve the next mystery, I wonder?
Mikuru!
Yes!
No matter the mystery...
We'll solve them all!
Pochi~!
Eh?
Not again!!
Darn him...
This must be...
The music room!
Science Lab
Skyway
Field
Music Room
The first room was the science lab.
And now we're in the music room.
They're really connected up all different now.
Escape, if you dare!
To open the door, a key is required.
Hit that key.
Hit that key? What does he mean?
That's a good question, but also what's with these five lines here?
If you see five lines in a music room, it's probably a musical staff, right?
Ahh! The kind they use to write sheet music with!
If that's the case, the keyhole must represent certain notes.
If we treat this as a staff, then the notes would be...
Do. Mi. So.
The key is Do-Mi-So!
So... What does hitting a Do-Mi-So key mean?
W-well, y'see...
Hmm...
We're so close now, I can feel it!
A Do-Mi-So key! Our answer lies... there!
The piano!
Why a piano?
To be precise, right here on the piano! The keyboard!
Keyboard
This is how you write it with kanji.
But this first character can also be read as "key", right?
Key
I get it! So by "hitting" the key, he means playing the keys of the piano!
Now, consider those notes!
When you have 'em all lined up like dumplings on a skewer, they call it a "chord"!
Chord
Do
Mi
So
That's when the sounds from each of the individual keys...
Are all played at the exact same time!
So basically...
We must play a Do-Mi-So chord on the piano!
Yes!
Mikuru, you're amazing!
I used to take piano lessons, so...
I would expect nothing less!
Gouemon's having a ball.
Weren't you trying to observe that fairy's powers?
Well now... It is nigh time to make an appearance!
He ain't even listening.
Let's just sit back and watch the show.
Yeah.
Bring it! Where's the next mystery?
Escape, if you dare!
To open the door, a key is required.
And I have the key!
He has the key?
Does that mean we just need to find that Gouemon guy?
Then this'll be a cinch!
We just need to search each and every possible place!
Dear me, I must have forgotten!
For this mystery, you have a time limit of one minute!
If you cannot find me within the time limit, it's game over!
Ehh!?
Hey, that's not fair!
Start!
W-w-w-what do we do now??
Awawa...
I know, the Pre-Kit!
Oh, yeah!
Open!
Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!
Wha-what?
So that is the Pre-Kit. Where the Precure draw their detective gadgets from.
According to Jett-senpai,
As long as we have our Mirror Loupes, important clues will never escape our detection!
Hanamaru discovery!
These prints must be from Gouemon's geta sandals!
I see, so it can be used in that fashion as well.
No matter.
I am the Great Gouemon. The one they call the Master of Hide-and-Seek!
Do you have what it takes to find me?
The prints end here.
Any other footprints around...
Ahh! We only got 10 seconds left!
Ehh!?
M-maybe he's hidden inside one of these bookshelves...
Found you!
Heh. Star Detectives, indeed.
But to think, you would beat me at hide-and-seek!
You have my compliments!
Library Mystery Cleared!
Pochi!
Home Ec
Knit forth the key
Art Room
What? The gym?
This is where we started, right?
This shall be your final mystery.
Escape, if you dare!
Choose the correct door!
To move forward, one must go back. Forge your trackless path!
To go forward... we go back?
It must be some sort of hint.
Pochi-pochi!
Pochi!
A mark on the door?
Pochi!
Pochi-pochi!
There too?
Here we are. Each of the five doors have one.
A circle, triangle, star, note, and X mark.
These must be the hints we need.
These marks, and his words from before...
When you reach a dead end, go back to the beginning!
That's what you said, remember?
In other words, we need to think back upon all of the previous mysteries!
I see!

Lab

Art
Room
First, do any of the marks line up with the rooms we've visited...
Ah!
We solved a mystery in the music room, so maybe the note mark is correct?
Think back on what Gouemon said.
Music
Room
Library
Forge your trackless path!
"Forge your trackless path!" That must have something to do with it.
A path, huh...
This is a trick maze.
To escape the maze, we must solve its mysteries and follow the path forward...
I got it!
You got what?
The places where we solved mysteries! Forge a line between them!
First was the gym.
Then to the science lab,
The music room, library,
The home ec room, and art room.
Then we got sent back to the gym...
Huh...?
This has got to mean something, but...
Pochi...
Po...po...
Pocchu!
Ah!
That's it! We layer them together!
Eh?
The maps for the 1st and 2nd floors!
Separated, they don't seem to hold any meaning.
But layer them on top of each other, and the path is forged!
I can see it!
This is the answer!
The door marked with a star.
Here we go!
Yeah!
Are we out?
A splendid showing.
I may not have learned much about that fairy,
But I shall be leaving with this Makoto Jewel!
Conceal it all, O lies!
I summon thee, Hanninder!
Hanninder!
The sakura tree!
Mikuru, let's do this!
Open!
Jewel Cure Watch!
Precure! Wakeup Time!
Three! Find each other!
Six! Face each other!
Nine! The miraculous duo!
Do a little twirl for me!
Ain't we cute as can be?

Star Detective Cure Answer!
With layered deduction, smile and a jump!
Star Detective Cure Mystique!
Star Detective Pretty Cure!
Allow me to show you my answer!
Hanninder!
Nin...der...!
Hanninder!
Mystique Reflection!
Clever girl!
Now drown, in my blizzard of sakura petals!
Mystique!
Not to worry.
Ninder!
Here we go!
Yeah!
I won't let you!
I can't see in front of me...
Hanninder!
There you are!
What should we do?
Don't worry! We got out of that maze just fine!
Together, we'll find a way!
Yeah!
Oh?
Take this!
Scurrying around like rodents, I say!
Hanninder!
Now!
Jump!
Ha!? Hanninder?
What? Where is my fan?
Hanninder...
Over here!
Answer Attack!

Hanninder...
Pochi!
Pochi-pochi! Cure-cure!
Hmph. How entertaining.
Yo!
What an annoying power.
Nothing unexpected.
I'm so glad it's back to normal.
Hey, are we forgetting something?
Science class!!
Just in the nick of time!
You're late.
Ehehe...
Where's Anna?
Eh?
Anna's right here with...
Mikuru... where are you...?
And where is the science lab?
Pochi...
Uhh... I left Anna behind.
Where are you, Anna?
I've had enough! No more mazes!
