Chirpchirp-pochi!
They sure are...
Chirp, chirp!
Vroomvroom-pochi!
Pochitan, you're so good at speaking now!
You know so many words now! That's amazing!
Amazing!
Pochitan is too cute. I can't stop smiling.
You can say that again...
"The year 1999, seventh month. I shall be crowned Supreme King, and conceal this world in my lies."
I've been worried about what Usonoir said ever since.
But one look at Pochitan, and all my worries fly away!
We've got plenty of time until July.
Let's take that time to prepare for it!
You're right.
Time to put in the hard work, just like Pochitan is doing!
Makoto Mirai Private Academy
— Yeah! — Pochi!
"Pochi"?

Pochitan's Very First Outing!
The Student Council President?
3rd year, Kaneda Rei-san.
You're blocking the entrance.
Huh?
You are preventing other students from entering.
Eh?
Ahh!
We didn't notice!
We're very sorry!
Sorry!
Ahaha...
Have you received permission for that?
Eh? Permission?
Only school-designated bags are allowed.
It is against the rules to bring others in without permission.
Oh, it is?
Those are the school rules.
Student Council President Kaneda Rei-san.
She's the granddaughter of the Chairwoman of Makoto Mirai Academy.
Yep, she's our reliable StuCo prez. Always gets top marks too.
Wow... You make her sound so amazing.
Too amazing, maybe. People have trouble approaching her.
She's always so strict about all those rules and regulations!
Totally. If she comes walking down the hall, I always dart the other way!
Same here. Otherwise I'll probably get scolded for something.
She let us off with a warning today because we didn't know, but...
Yeah. We do need to follow the rules, though.
We're off to school.
Mind the house for us, okay Pochitan?
Pochi...
Please don't make that face!
We're just as sad as you are!
If ya don't get a move on, you'll be late for sure.
Okay, we're going.
Be good for Jett-senpai, alright?
Pochi...
Good morning.
G-good morning!
Miss President!
Good morning!
Uhm...
Is something wrong?
You just surprised me is all.
It's rare for students to come up and greet me like that.
It's really that rare?
Nobody wants to be scolded for anything.
But somebody has to say these things.
Even if others dislike me for it,
As the Student Council President, I have an important duty to fulfill.
Sounds like a tough job, huh.
Keep doing your best!
Thank you, Akechi-san.
Eh? Wait, you know my name?
Of course I do. I'm the Student Council President.
Memorizing the names and faces of every student is to be expected.
Woah...
"The year 1999, seventh month."
"In the land of truth, the one who holds the Stone of Truth shall be crowned Supreme King."
What does it all mean?
All mean?
Pochi?
Goat Post, comin' through!
Through!
Mr. Goat Post! Good to see ya!
Goat day. You goat a letter from London.
Thanks.
If you'll excuse me.
Goat Poooost!
Letter?
I asked the London Curetto Detective Agency for information on Arcana Shadow.
Once Anna and Mikuru get back, we'll open it together.
Excuse me!
Pretty Holic, are you open today?
Yes! Coming right away!
Pochi.
Anna Mikuru, give!
Pochi~!
Usonoir-sama, I have news!
I am told that the Curetto Detective Agency received a secret letter from London.
And a secret letter must have something of grave importance written within.
Please, allow me to retrieve that letter for you.
Go forth.
Lie Lie, Sir!
A letter...
Mashu mashu mashu mashu mashu...
Mashu~!
I see it!
It says that the letter contains a secret that you would not want to have come to light, Luluka.
I knew it...
I'll have to snatch that letter, before those girls read it.
Pochi?
Chirpchirp-pochi!
Pochi... pochi?
Pochi?
Pochi!
Pochi~
Pochi!?
Pochi...
Pochi!
Pochi! Pochi! Pochi! Pochi! Pochi! Pochi!
Pochi~!
Pochi...
Pochi?
Pochi...?
Pochi...
What? Pochitan went missing?
Before I knew it, she was just gone!
I've been looking all around the office and nearby.
We'll help you look for her!
Thanks.
Let's go!
Yeah!
Hm?
Hey, wait for me!
Quiet, now.
Those are the rules of the library.
Aww, come on!
This place is too boring!
I know of a very fun picture book.
Shall we read it together?
Pochi...
"Maru-chan was lost. She was so scared, she wanted to cry."
Pochi?
"I'm so lonely! I'm so scared!"
"Won't somebody come and take me home to Mama?"
"But just when she was about to let out a great big wail,"
"A little birdie swooped down to speak to her."
"Chirp chirp! Let's play together!"
"Hearing this, Maru-chan became happy again."
"Okay! Let's play!"
"Look, it's my home!"
"Mama! I'm home!"
"Welcome home, Maru-chan. I've got stew on the pot for you."
"There in the hearth, Maru-chan began happily telling her mother all about the new friend she made."
The end.
Did you like it?
Yeah!
That was really fun!
Oh, Mama!
Thanks, Onee-chan!
Bye bye!
Huh?
Eh?
Wha!?
It moved...
Pochi?
It talked??
Open!
Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!
Let's search for Pochitan!
Yeah!
Ah!
Hanamaru discovery!
These are Pochitan's pawprints!
Huh? The pawprints end here.
Wait, Pochitan can fly!
That's right! What do we do?
Hmm...
I've never seen nor heard of a creature like you.
Aftnoon!
Ah! G-good afternoon!
This mysterious creature is somehow... incredibly polite?
Really? You saw her?
I called out at her to come play, but she went flyin' off that'a way.
Over there...
Where have I seen you before...?
Oh!
Akechi-san's...
Pochitan! Where are you?
You there!
Ahh!
The Student Council President?
Ah! Pochitan!?
Pochi!
Looks like you were plenty hungry.
What exactly is she, anyway?
Eh?
Umm...
Pochitan!
Pochitan! What a cute name you have.
My name is Rei.
Rei!
Did you have some special reason for bringing Pochitan to school with you?
Umm, well... yes.
Pochitan's our friend, and...
The thing is, we're detectives, and...
I know that.
Akechi Anna-san and Kobayashi Mikuru-san.
I heard that it was you two who found the Drama Club's missing dress.
So you're saying that Pochitan is a fellow detective, then?
That's right!
If possible, we'd like her to be able to come to school with us!
Normally, that is a violation of the school rules.
But you may request permission from the school by submitting a written application.
I'll go with you and explain everything to the teachers.
What?
You'd do that for us?
This badge I bear has been passed down through generations of Student Council Presidents.
When I affixed it to my chest, I made a pledge.
To be a helping hand to all students, no matter what!
That reminds me. Pochitan, why'd you leave the detective agency all by yourself?
Pochi!
Letter!
A letter?
So that is the secret letter, I take it.
Hand that letter over.
Noo!
Then we'll just have to take you, too.
You can't have Pochitan!
Yeah!
Arcana Shadow.
Planning to take all the credit for yourself?
Nijee!
Miss President?
And who's this, now?
Stand in my way, and I will take no quarter.
I want to be a helping hand to all students!
This is my decision!
That's...
A Makoto Jewel was born.
How perfect. Two birds, one stone!
Conceal it all, O lies!
Come forth, Hanninder!
Hanninder!
What? Where did everyone go?
Open.
Tear Arcana Rod.
Shuffle.
Reverse.
Shrouded in mystery and secrecy.
Cure Arcana Shadow.
Come. Let me lure you into my labyrinth.
Hand that letter to me, or else.
Pochi...
Don't worry.
We're right here with you!
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?
No matter the mystery, Hanamaru Case Closed!
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!
Not bad.
In that case...
Arcana Star Rain.
Mystique Reflection!
We won't let you lay a single finger on Pochitan!
Babies.
I do hope you aren't forgetting about me, now.
Hanninder-der!!
Ahhh!
Now hand over that letter.
Pochi...
We'll never hand them over!
Not the letter, nor Pochitan!
Hanninder-der!
But how long can you hold out, I wonder?
Der-der!
That badge is full of strong feelings!
A strong desire to be a helping hand to those in need!
This is our decision!
We are going to take back that badge!
Han!
Der-der...
Open!
Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!
Pochitan!
Pochi~!
Makoto Jewel!
Cure Answer will crack this case!
Precure!
Answer Hanamaru Sword!
Cracked Cured'n Closed!
Hanninder...
Pochi!
Pochi-pochi! Cure-cure!
Pochi.
Sorry, kiddo.
Pochi!?
Later.
Stop right there, Arcana Shadow!
Po...pochi...
Aw... Nothing you could've done about that.
Jett-senpai! We found Pochitan, but the letter has been...!
Letter?
Girls!
Are you alright?
You had me worried, disappearing so suddenly like that.
Sorry to make you worry.
Miss President, here.
Thank you.
Uhm...
I'm not sure how to explain this, but...
No need to explain.
Detectives must have secrets of their own to keep. Right?
Eh?
Remember what I said?
As the Student Council President, I've decided to be a helping hand to you.
Rei!
That's Rei-san to you, Pochitan!
I don't mind. Call me Rei.
Please, call me by my name. No need to be formal.
Huh? Okay then...
Rei.
Thanks a bunch, Rei.
You're very welcome.
This is...
What do you think you're doing?
Huh?
What!?
An invoice??
Yup. Pochitan was just carrying...
One of the many bills for all the candy I buy.
You really buy that much candy?
Too much, man...
Anyway, here's the real letter we got from London.
I'm opening it.

So Arcana Shadow's name is Luluka-san.
And right after the Makoto Jewel shattered, she vanished...
Let's go investigate! If she's not a bad person, I want to see it for myself!
Pochi!
Meitantei Precure!
The Secret of Moria Luluka
That case is cracked cured'n closed!
