Who is Cure Eclair!?
Who is Cure Eclair's true identity?
Pochi!
There is a mysterious Precure hidden among us!
And her name is Cure Eclair!
Who is Cure Eclair!?
Howa Kurea
Kurusu Eliza
Kaneda Rei
Ieiri Shiruku
Who? Who?
I don't know either...
But there's bound to be a clue in each story!
Time to sleuth it out, gang!
Who is Cure Eclair!?
Howa Kurea
Kurusu Eliza
Kaneda Rei
Ieiri Shiruku
Today's story features...
Howa Kurea
Howa Kurea-san!
You ready, everybody?
Meitantei Precure starts now!
Speaking of recent rumors, there is that "King of Terror" who will supposedly appear on July 19th.
End-of-Century Doomsday Prophecy
Magazines like this have also been making the rounds.
Then, I suppose it's all related to the upcoming end of the millennium?
Some say that a sort of mob mentality may be at work in this case...
It's getting to be a pretty big deal, huh.
Hmm...
Cure Eclair doesn't remember anything about being a Precure.
Just the other day, Shiruku-san...
She was able to see right through PHANTOM's disguise.
What if...
On that topic!
It could be Eliza-san too then, don't you think?
Could be!
Right?
So which is it, then?
I dunno...
Moria Luluka. She probably knows more than she lets on.
But she won't tell us anything.
And that photograph we found...
Is still just as big of a mystery.
Pochi? Pochi?
Oh brother...
Pâtisserie Chu-Chu
Welcome!
Oh my!
Thank you for coming, once again.
No biggie.

It has its own charm, you know.
How about it?
Here ya go. Have a seat!

Kurea, Sleuthing, and Ice Cream
What should we get, Darling?
Let's both order something different, then go halfsies!
Ehhh~? That makes it even harder to choose~
You're so cute when you're all indecisive~
Ehhhh~
That photo was taken back when I was 16 years old, training in Paris.
Lookin' good, huh? Just like that actor, Kaneshiro Takeya!
Haha... Just a little joke.
You were the same age then as I am now!
Thanks for waiting!
Choco-mint and raspberry ice cream.
I never ordered any cakes.
They're on the house.
I made them myself. Please, have a taste.
Thanks for the food.
Yum.
He taught me a secret or two.
Paris-trained!
Pa
ris
There's another regular that always orders that same blueberry tart.
You two seem quite alike, so I thought you might enjoy it too.
I got it!
Pâtisserie Chu-Chu here.
Oh, Jett-kun?
One blueberry tart, and one mille-feuille.
Speak of the devil, huh?
We'll deliver 'em to the Curetto Detective Agency, like usual.
Please enjoy.
Owner! I'll take it.
Got it, thanks.
So that "regular" is one of the Star Detectives?
Could be.
I wonder if she's realized that you're a Star Detective?
Pochichi~ pochi~
Coming!
Oh!
Good afternoon! Pâtisserie Chu-Chu, at your service.
Kurea-san!
You have a lovely office, just like my boss said!
That's right, I guess this is the first time you've visited us!
While you're here, won't you stay a bit and have some tea?
Eh? But...
Kurea-san!
Please!
Well, I suppose I could stay for a cup.
Wow~!
They're looking hanamaru yummy as ever!
Those are documents related to an ongoing case.
Oh, then please excuse me for looking at them.
No worries. We don't really know if they'll even be relevant hints or not.
Is it that tough of a case, then?
Well, we're searching for a certain individual.
But the person in question has apparently lost all of her memories.
If she could just remember everything, the case would be as good as closed, but...
Hahh...
Memories...
In addition to presentation and taste, there is one more thing important for a good cake.
Can you guess what it is?
One more thing...
Important for it...
Hmmmm...
I know! How it smells!
Correct!
Take that blueberry tart you love so much.
The scent of those in-season blueberries and custard really whets your appetite, right?
Yes! Very much so!
That appetite of yours doesn't exactly need any whetting...
Ehe!
Smell isn't just about appetite.
It's said to have strong ties with the memories you create, as well.
Memories... I see!
The sweet scent of this mille-feuille...
When I smell this, I'm always brought back to the times I ate with Grandma!
When you were living overseas, right?
Yep! In London!
See?
Aromas bring memories back to you.
I get it! Scents and memories! This could be a hint!
Thank you very much!
Glad I could be of help.
So, you've returned.
Just in time to hear the location of a new Makoto Jewel.
A sweet fragrance wafts among a house of rest.
From a single record, the aroma of youth.
It appears you recognize this.
That's our girl!
Let us be off, straight away!
Go forth, Arcana Shadow!
Lie Lie, Sir!
Lie Lie, Sir.
One of our seasonal tarts and a mont blanc?
I'll be right back with those.
Sorry to make you wait.
The owner is out on business, so it's just me today.
I see.
Dark chocolate and caramel.
Huh?
And today, I will sit out on the terrace.
Understood...
Thanks again for waiting!
Dark chocolate and caramel.
This is for you.
Um, "Tonight..."
Tonight at 6, I come for the photograph.
"Thieves' Guild PHANTOM".
I guess that's... not a joke, huh.
Are you a phantom thief?
I can't believe that.
You don't even...
You don't even know my name. How can you be so sure of that?
Then, will you please tell me your name?
There is one thing I do know about you.
You always eat ice cream with such joy in your eyes.
That much I do know.
I cannot give you that photo.
Your ice cream will melt.
It'll be 6 PM pretty soon.
From what Kurea-san told us about that PHANTOM member...
It's gotta be Luluka-san!
Yes, that's the girl.
She won't back down easily!
But what exactly is her plan this time?
She might show up disguised as someone else again!
No matter what she does, we won't let her steal that photo. Am I right?
Yeah!
She just showed up head-on!?
So you enlisted the help of these detectives?
That's what you wanted me to do, isn't it?
After all...
There were endless opportunities for you to steal the photograph.
But instead, you opted to give me a calling card first.
So that I would call upon the Curetto Detective Agency.
Now that's an interesting theory.
We won't let you have that photo!
Yeah!
Worry not, lass!
The Great Gouemon has already plundered it!
Ehhh!?
Luluka-san was just a decoy??
We never thought of that tactic!
I moved not upon her request!
'Twas simply a kind act, for my precious junior!
Stop!
Kurea-san, wait here!
He's so far away already!
Open!
Pre-Kit Light!
Witness the craft of a phantom thief!
Stop right there!
Oh?
A sleigh?
Wrong!
A bobsled!!
Pochisled!
Ahhhh!
Oh god what do we do? What do we do??
Pochichichichi!
Pochi!
Thanks a ton, Pochitan...
Pochi!
As reward for catching up to me, I shall take you on!
Conceal it all, O lies!
I summon thee, Hanninder!
Hanninder!
Now go and roast those pests!
Newbie! I request your assistance!
Here we go!
Yeah!
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?

Cure Arcana Shadow.
Come. Let me lure you into my labyrinth.
Hanninder!
Give that photograph back!
Arcana Star Rain.
That's...
Han-han!
Hey jerk! Why're you targeting your own team members!
I am not to blame here!
Oh? I detect some real guts there!
Gouemon.
I'm leaving the rest to you.
Sure, no qualms here!
Hanninder!
Hanninder...!
What are you doing here?
Tell me. Are you...
Luluka-san?
Answer me. Why are you here?
I had a feeling the photograph would be around here.
Haaan-han-han-hanhanhan!
Did you honestly think the photograph would be in a place like this?
Yes.
Why?
By the intuition that sprang up inside of me.
I followed the twinkle in my heart.
Twinkle...
That doesn't necessarily mean it was the right decision.
Even so, I will always believe in my own twinkle!
Han-han-haaan!
Mystique Reflection!
Nin!?
Hannn...!
Nice one!
Pochi!
Open!
Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!
Pochitan!
Pochi~!
Makoto Jewel!
Cure Mystique will crack this case!
Precure!
Mystique Strike!
Cracked Cured'n Closed!
Hanninder...
Pochi!
Pochi-pochi! Cure-cure!
It seems they've retrieved the photo.
It will no longer be targeted.
Wait!
Why are you part of that gang of thieves?
I guess you might say... I followed the twinkle in my heart.
Farewell.
Come by again anytime for more ice cream!
I'll be waiting for you... Luluka-san.
Thank you! You're such amazing detectives!
Aw, shucks...
Butter us up, why don't ya...
Purity...
That's what lilies symbolize. I had just remembered.
And because of that purity, she may tend to dash ahead... even unto the wrong path.
That girl...
I can tell she trusts the twinkle inside of you.
Our...
Twinkle?
So Kurea-san is an Eclair candidate, eh?
She predicted just how a PHANTOM member would think!
That was some excellent deduction!
Well, I guess it ain't inconceivable.
Shiruku-san, Eliza-san, and Kurea-san...
Pochi!
Wow!
How beautiful!
Those lilies were planted before I even got here.
Guess they finally bloomed.
Sniff sniff...
Pochi~
Yeah... What a nice scent!
It really is.
Huh? This scent...
It's the same one I smelled when I first set foot in my room.
The detective who used the room before me...
Do you think Cure Eclair liked this scent?
"Aromas bring memories back to you"...
Maybe if she smells this...
Then Cure Eclair's memories might return!
Yes!
On that note...
Oh, Jett-senpai...
You wanna... you know?
Leave it to me!
That's our genius!
Arcana Shadow.
You let the Makoto Jewel slip away.
You require this, as I recall?
Then acquire the Makoto Jewels for me!
The promised day draws near.
Lie Lie, Sir.
Lie Lie, Sir!
Lie Lie, Sir...
