Once we're done cleaning, I'll get you some milk.
Pochi~!
Pochi... pochi!
Hey, cut that out!
You little... I already told you, I don't have time to play around!
Sorry! Moving out of the dorm took a ton of paperwork so I ran lat—
Ahh!
Is it just me, or...
Is it even more cluttered than before?
Ahahaha...
You made it, Mikuru!
Now let's make this office look hanamaru wonderful!

Come On Down, Folks!
To The Curetto Detective Agency!
Wow... This place is bigger than I thought!
Pochi!
This garden is so cute, too!
It really is, though!
How lovely!
It smells pretty nice in here, too.
This is the room that other star detective used, apparently.
Mine and Pochitan's room is over here.
Hey, we're neighbors!
Hey! I told you to keep those books in order!
Ehh? But it's more cute to organize 'em by color!
That kind of organization is useless to me!
"The importance of eliminating confirmation bias during investigations"...
And you! No more slacking off!
Urgh... Yessir!
Hey. What's up on the second floor?
Pochi?
Seems like a storage space or something.
Is this a map of the local area?
Yes.
The Curetto Detective Agency is around here then, right?
Yep.
And this is where my town will be built...
Anna?
We're really close to it, huh? I never realized!
I never came out this way before.
I'll have to check this place out, once I'm back in my own time.
Hey, I've got an idea.
Interior decorating?
Who cares how it all looks?
You gotta do more than just hang a map up on the wall!
Please take one!
Our clients are gonna prefer a nice and lovely office too, you know?
Get a PHS cordless phone! Send some sparkling PuriMails now!
(likely reference to the old P-Mail SMS)
Clients, eh.
We'll try to take on any cases that come our way, of course.
But don't forget that our mission is to stop Thieves' Guild PHANTOM.
Yeah, we know that!
Hey.
I've been kinda wondering...
Back in my time, the world isn't covered in lies or anything.
And I've never heard of that PHANTOM group before.
It isn't so different from right now.
It's all peaceful!
The future is constantly changing.
The world might be covered in lies in both this time and yours, if we don't stop them.
The world may yet fall into the clutches of those nasty fairies.
"Nasty fairies"? What do you mean?
What, I never told ya?
Just like our side, that PHANTOM gang is made up of fairies too.
Deciphering the Tome of Mirages.
That destined hour will be soon upon us.
We must gather the Makoto Jewels.
And yet, you fail me.
Usonoir-sama. Please forgive me.
I could not have predicted the appearance of the Star Detective Precure.
The Tome of Mirages reveals the location of the next Makoto Jewel.
Nahaha!
Sounds like it's time for little ol' Age to take center stage!
Agesène! What's your game now?
That little gyaru disguise of yours was wicked weak!
Like, you kiddin' me? Wicked lame!
I won't take such insults from you!
Noisy bunch, as usual.
Yup.
Usonoir-sama!
Please, leave this to me, your humble Nijee!
Go, Agesène!
Hah!?
I look forward to an elegant and exquisite thievery.
— N-no, please! Give me another chance! — Yay! I win!
Lie Lie, Sir!
How hanamaru lovely!
Welcome!
This place is overflowing with cute stuff!
Pochi!
Look, isn't this cute?
It totally is!
This thing a turtle?
Po...
No touching, it's made of glass! What if it broke?
Jett-senpai, I want one of these!
You what?
My apologies.
Maeda Chiho
Store Staff
That isn't for sale, unfortunately.
Huh?
It's our store's symbol.
Symbol?
Yes! Everyone here cherishes it so much!
Like a turtle, even if things seem slow now,
Just keep up the hard work, one step at a time.
Let's work together to make this store even grander, and even more wonderful!
Seeing this ornament everyday gets us into that hard-working mood!
How lovely!
While we can't sell you this item,
I'll show you around to our other wares!
Thank you very much!
Oh, Chiho-san.
Nakategawa Takuya
Store Staff
I'll put it back on display for you.
Thanks, Takuya-kun.
Anything in particular you're looking for?
Umm...
We want to put up some new decorations!
In that case...
Hello!
Welcome!
Wow! What a cute sofa!
Cute this, cute that. Is that the only word you know?
We already got a sofa at home.
Then how about some new cushions?
Some that pair well with your current sofa.
I guess cushions are fine.
I'll bring some out for you.
Doesn't that curtain look great?
A bit gaudy, don't you think?
Hmm...
Then...
How about this? It just screams "star detective", don't it?
Yeah!
At least someone here is having fun.
Po! Pochi!!
What? Is another case starting?
Ahh!
What's wrong?
Our treasured ornament is gone!
What!?
It was just here a minute ago!
Hewp...
Is this really a case?
That ornament could be holding another Makoto Jewel.
Think back. Every time Pochitan led us somewhere...
It's always been where a Makoto Jewel was stolen, or in danger!
I see. That checks out.
Please leave this to us!
What?
Open!
PreKit Book!
You can carry 'em around pocket-sized!
Ain't I genius?
We are star detectives from the Curetto Detective Agency!
D-detectives?
We will crack this case for you!
Okay. Please help us!
Kaku Saeko
Customer
What's all the fuss about?
What's happened?
Tom Miller
Tourist
These are all the people that were in the store.
Could the culprit have been someone else who snuck in and out of the store?
But the door has a bell attached, and I didn't hear any further rings.
Are there any other entrances?
This is the service entrance where furniture is delivered.
Maybe the culprit entered through here, then took the ornament back out the same way?
Possible, but it's too soon to jump to conclusions.
We should still consider the possibility that the culprit is here.
None of them look like they have the ornament, though.
It could be just like that tiara from the wedding!
Good thinking! Maybe it's hidden somewhere around here?
It could be hidden anywhere...
That ornament was made of glass, right?
Yeah.
It would've had to be hidden somewhere it wouldn't break...
Yep.
I got it!
Yes!
We found it!
Here it is!
Thank you very much!
One, two...
It still has all six! None of them broke off!
I'll put it back on the shelf.
Thanks, please do.
Is the case closed already?
Of course not!
One of these people should be the PHANTOM member who was after that ornament.
Mikuru! Time for an interrogation!
That it is!
Now tell us! Where were you at the time of the crime?
Oh. I can't speak Japanese.
Oh no, English! What do we do??
Pochi...
This calls for my genius invention, the PreKit Gummies!
Open!
PreKit Gummy!
It's so hanamaru cute!
Go on, give it a taste.
Sho yummy...
And they aren't just yummy!
Eat one, and you'll be able to speak and understand any language!
Really? That's amazing!
Amazing? What is?
I can understand him!
Incidentally, its effect lasts for three minutes.
Then we gotta hurry!
What were you doing in this store, and where?
I was with him, looking for a scarf.
Is that true? Were you with him?
I was.
Tom-san said he was looking for a scarf to give to his mother.
He helped me pick a wonderful scarf.
Yes! I suggested one with a pattern like that ornament.
He said his mother likes to grow plants in her free time.
So I figured she'd like that pattern.
A scarf with a pattern resembling that ornament.
The ornament's... pattern?
Plants?
And where were you?
I've been right here the whole time, petting this cat.
A cat, huh...
Can't really use it as a witness then.
She sure was.
Eh!?
She was petting me the whole time.
Ehhh??
We can hear cats talk too?
I'm a genius, I tell ya!
So this person isn't the culprit either.
So that leaves...
Chiho-san or Takuya-san.
Chiho-san? You're joking!
Excuse me...
Mother is waiting, so I really should go.
Takuya-kun, you forgot the gift wrap sticker.
O-oh, sorry about that.
It comes with a seal for the gift wrap.
Please choose the style you want.
I can choose from one of these six?
I'm not sure...
Hm... I suppose it should go along with the scarf color.
Scarf...
These six?
I can see it!
This is the answer!
The culprit is...
Yeah!
That person!
We know who the culprit is!
The culprit who stole that ornament is...
You!
M-me?
Come on, there's no way!
There is. And nobody but you makes sense.
The key to solving this case was the scarf.
The scarf?
You meant to steal the ornament, and leave through the service entrance.
Nobody would think it odd, since you work for the store.
But right when you were about to leave, Tom-san showed up and asked about a scarf.
Panicking, you temporarily hid the ornament under some cushions.
That way, it wouldn't fall and break.
That's a groundless accusation!
Takuya-kun wouldn't do that!
Tom-san.
Yes?
You said that Takuya-san picked that scarf for your mother because it had a pattern like that ornament, right?
Yes.
May we take a look at it?
Sure.
Here it is.
Flowers?
Yes! It looks just like that ornament, doesn't it?
What?
That's right. Takuya-san thought that ornament was shaped like a flower.
Even though it's actually a turtle.
T-turtle?
When we retrieved it from the cushions, you said...
It still has all six! None of them broke off!
It was an odd thing to say.
Normally, a person wouldn't call a turtle's head, legs, and tail "all six" like that.
You used the words "all six" because you had mistaken it for a flower!
As if you were counting all of its petals!
As a staff member here, Takuya-san would never make such a mistake!
You are not Takuya-san!
Yikes, this is wicked lame!
That's right!
I am Agesène, of Thieves' Guild PHANTOM!
Don't mind if I do!
Ahh!
Hey! What're you doin' here?
We have a message from Usonoir-sama.
"Defeat them, and steal with elegance."
So he says.
Get to it.
What's your deal, even?
Ah! There she is!
Tch.
What a pain. But for Usonoir-sama, I'll take you on!
Conceal it all, O lies!
Show 'em how wicked rad we are!
Hanninder!
What's going on?
Fufu!
PHANTOM's new technology!
This field seals you off from all others!
Looks like your case is about to go cold!
Open!
Jewel Cure Watch!
Precure! Wakeup Time!

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!
Hannin...
Der!
Hey! We told you it was a turtle, not a flower!
Han!
Nin!
Der...
What an interesting pair of girls.
What're you doing, Hanninder! Don't be so wicked lame!
"Wicked lame"?
It means "very bad".
That's what them kids used to say.
Hey! In my world, it's still the bomb diggity!
Get 'em, Hanninder!
Hannin...
Der!
Hannin...
Der!!
Der!
Pochi!
Hanninder!
Yay!
You pickin' up what Age's puttin' down?
Usonoir-sama!
Looks like Age's got this one in the bag!
And I get the Makoto Jewel! You mad yet?
The Makoto Jewel is important, but...
It's our store's symbol.
It's not just about the Makoto Jewel!
You can't see the feelings imbued into a treasured object like that!
Huhhh?
Like a turtle, even if things seem slow now,
Just keep up the hard work, one step at a time.
We will take back Chiho-san's treasure, if it's the last thing we do!
We'll keep moving forward, one step at a time!
Ehh!?
Hannin...
Behold! This is our answer!!
Cracked Cured'n Closed!
Hanninder...
Pochi!
Pochi-pochi! Cure-cure!
I'm wicked mad now!
Really...?
Precure, huh.
Thank you so much, detectives!
Hey, I'm back.
What?
I think it's the real Takuya-san this time.
I couldn't find that hibiscus you told me to buy...
I never made any such request, though...
That Agesène chick must've disguised herself and sent him on an errand.
We're all done!
Our very own detective agency!
Pochi!
M-my poor wallet...
Curetto Detective Agency
Everything's looking pretty good now!
Yes!
I wonder what our first case'll be, though?
Well, I've already decided what my first case will be.
Huh? Me??
Yes, Anna.
I'll find a way to return you to your home time.
Yeah! But there's something else I've decided on.
I want to save everyone here!
Hm?
Nobody wants a world covered in lies, you know?
I'm going to do my best as a Star Detective Precure! With you, Mikuru!
I'll go home once we're all done!
Anna...
Make it official, Anna!
Mikuru...
Please send me back to my original time!
You've hired the right girl!
I'll have to do my best to become a first-rate star detective, if I'm gonna solve your case!
You're right! Let's work together, and become first-rate star detectives!
Pochi~!
Two peas in a pod.
They'll make a nice pair.
Oh brother...
It's only gonna get busier.
