Curetto Detective Agency
You sure you'll be okay?
Yeah, I'll be fine!
Jett-senpai's here too, you know?
Yeah, but...
He's always cooped up in his lab...
Ahh!
Doing Research Keep Out!
And Pochitan's here, too!
Pochi~!
She's been doing that ever since yesterday...
Apparently she likes storing anything she can.
She's growing up with the power of those Makoto Jewels!
Now come on!
Get a move on, or you'll be late for school!
If anything happens, send me a voice memo!
Got it!
I'm off!
Have a nice day!
Pochi!
Sure is quiet here.

Star Detectives In A Pinch!
Where are the Makoto Jewels? Why have you not gone to plunder them?
Yes. Regarding the Makoto Jewels that the Tome of Mirages revealed.
In order to retrieve them, I have been carefully investigating, and formulating a plan.
Many a time have you failed me, Nijee.
Retrieve them. This is your final chance.
Lie Lie, Sir!
I hope Mikuru's doing okay.
She's a 2nd-year middle schooler starting today, right?
Hope she's not too nervous or anything in her new class.
Pochi.
Pochi!
Huh?
Po...pochi!
Pochi!
Ah!
Pochi...
Didn't I tell you not to store too much stuff?
Pochi...
Looks like it's gonna rain.
We should bring an umbrella for Mikuru.
Pochi.
Huh?
I've done it!
Legendary Pre-Kit charms, from an old book I found!
Legendary?
You got it.
Not sure on all the details, but it should help the Star Detective Precure when they're in a pinch.
Sounds awesome!
Hm?
You goin' out?
Yep. We're going to bring Mikuru an umbrella.
Give one of these to Mikuru while you're at it.
Will do.
Thanks!
A matching pair.
Even Star Detective Mikuru can't predict the weather, huh.
Pochi!
Ah!
I only brought one for Mikuru...
Pochi...
Let's take it to her and get back home before it rains!
We're here! This is Mikuru's school.
Oh!
And there's Mikuru!
Miku—
— Mikuru! — Ehehe.
Rie, cut it out!
Looks like we're in the same class again!
I'm so happy!
Same here. Glad to be with you!
Guess it's gonna rain.
I forgot my umbrella.
I brought mine, so let's go home together!
Thanks a bunch!
You gotta remember these things, Mikuru~
Well excuse me, I didn't think it would rain!
Hahahaha!
— You got me there! —Mikuru, you're so silly...
I'm so sorry!
No problem!
It was my fault for spacing out.
Pochi?
"Pochi"?
Ahh!
Uh, like... Nice pic? I'd like to p-poach it from ya...
Just kiddin'... ha-hahaha...
Thank you very much.
It's my little sister and I.
Looks like you're very close.
Yes.
Keiko's a 2nd-year at the high school here.
Though right now, she's an exchange student in London...
Hm? Is something the matter?
Something weird's been happening recently.
People have been seeing Keiko around the city.
Even though she's in London?
You sure it's not just a lookalike?
That's what I thought, too.
But, I saw her.
This morning at the station, on my way to college...
I was shocked. So I followed her, and she led me here.
I asked the school, but they said Keiko's not here.
I tried phoning her in London, but she didn't pick up.
I'm a bit worried.
Please, allow me to assist you.
Huh?
Open!
Pre-Kit Book!
Wha!?
My name is Akechi Anna, of the Curetto Detective Agency!
I...I'm Kitamura Mariko.
Kitamura Mariko
College Student
Mariko-san, leave it to this Star Detective!
I'll crack this case of yours with a hanamaru!
I see. Thanks for the help, then.
May I borrow that photograph?
Sure.
Thank you very much.
Oh, it's going to rain today. Take this!
Please use it!
Mariko-san looked so worried, I took on her case without even thinking.
Pochi!
Better let Mikuru know.
On second thought, wouldn't want to bother her.
Mikuru-san?
Student Council President!
The Chairwoman wants to speak with you.
Uh...
Sorry, gotta go.
Chairwoman's Office
Thank you for taking the time to meet.
I've already heard. You left the dormitory, and opened a detective agency.
It seems you are one step closer to your dream.
Yes. And thank you for everything!
Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask of you, Mikuru-san.
I want you to solve a case for us.
A ghost disturbance.
Wha...
G-g-g-ghost??
— Look, see her? — What is that girl doing here?
Huh, they have a middle school and high school at the same place.
Looks like I stand out a bit...
Oh! I know what to do!
Open!
Pre-Kit Gloss!
Pochi!
So? What do you think of Akechi Anna the high schooler?
Pochi!
Okay! Let's start this investigation!
Pochi!
Excuse me!
I'm looking for this girl.
Oh, Keiko? She's in my class.
Hm?
Ah! It's a Pre-Kit Voice Memo!
A mobile phone? If the teachers catch you, they'll confiscate it.
O-ohh, no! You got the wrong idea!
Uhm...
Why?
Sorry for interrupting our conversation!
Now, about Keiko...
I got a message from her last night, all the way from London.
A message, huh...
Fine then. I'll investigate by myself.
Mr. Security Guard.
I heard from the Chairwoman that you saw a... a ghost?
Please, can you give me the details?
Indeed.
I saw a suspicious figure, there in the courtyard of the high school ward...
Then with a "whoosh"...
She was gone!
An' I didn't see her just once or twice, hear?
You wanted me to share the details, but you ain't even listenin'!
No ghosts! I hate scary spirit stuff!!
I wasn't able to learn even a single thing.
The weather today kinda sucks.
Eek!
I-is somebody there?
W-what's going on here...?
Ahhh!!
Abababa-bababa-baba...
Mikuru, it's me!
Anna!
You took a case on by yourself? Why didn't you ask me first?
Well, you're at school.
I figured I'd be bothering you.
But you know full well that school and detective work are equally important to me!
What if your solo investigation went south or something?
If that happened, you'd only be a burden to that client!
You're one to talk, Mikuru!
You took on a case by yourself too, didn't you?
I tried to send you a voice memo, but you wouldn't answer...
I was in the middle of my investigation!
If my investigation failed, I'd be letting down Mariko-san!
Who's Mariko-san?
My client.
She's looking for her little sister Keiko-san.
Mikuru?
Sorry! I gotta go!
Mikuru!
We were right in the middle of talking...
Excuse me!
You're not a ghost or anything... right?
Eh?
N-nothing!
Um, did you happen to see anything odd around here?
No, nothing that comes to mind.
Looks like rain's on the way.
Huh?
Don't you know?
They say that when swallows swoop low, rain is soon to fall.
Heh. Not a bad idea.
Huh?
Oh, nothing. Thanks for the help!
Eh? S-sure...
Pochi!!
Ehhh??
Pochi!
Is it another Makoto Jewel?
Pochi!
Mikuru!
Hm?
Eek!?
Mikuru! A Makoto Jewel is in trouble!
What?
Eh? Ehh??
Ah! Keiko-san!
Eh?
That's the person I've been looking for!
The person you were looking for?
She's studying abroad in London, and didn't answer her sister Mariko-san's phone call this morning!
I'm not Keiko, though.
Nijee!
That Keiko-san you've been looking for...
You said she's in London, so she might've just been sleeping!
What do you mean?
If it's 8 in the morning here...
Then in London, in April, it'd be 12 o'clock at night!
Oh, I get it!
If you had just filled me in, I'd have figured it out right away!!
I tried to! You were the one who went dashing off out of nowhere!
I had no choice! I was chasing an important lead!
Mrgrgrgrgr!!
Pochi...
Ahem!
I would kindly ask you not to start arguing and leave me hanging here.
Why did you disguise yourself as Keiko-san?
I was merely using a student who was studying abroad.
She is all the way across the sea right now.
So there's no chance of someone bumping into the real her.
Because of that, I've been able to investigate here day and night.
And what exactly were you investigating?
How exactly to extract this statue.
What should I use, to move such a large statue?
Car Dealership
I've been all over the city, formulating a plan.
Under Construction Thank You For Your Cooperation
You there! It's dangerous here!
All over the city?
So that's why Mariko-san and the others saw you.
Pochi.
Heheh.
I was yet undecided how to carry it, but...
Thanks to you, I figured it out.
Swallows.
Conceal it all, O lies!
Come forth, Hanninder!
Hanninder!
I'll have it carried out with the wings of a swallow!
Make it fly like a swallow, and it can be moved out of here with ease!
Mikuru!
Yes!
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!
To think, I would come across a pair of Makoto Jewels.
As they say: Two birds, one stone.
We won't let you have them!
Those swallows are laden with joy for all! They are the symbol of our school!
In that statue dwell the wishes of every student and teacher!
Hmph.
It seems they were laden with joy for me, as well.
Hanninder!
Quite the spectacle, yes?
A well-coordinated Hanninder attack.
And you were quite pathetic in comparison.
It's like you two aren't even on the same page.
Han!
Nin!
Der!!
One thing is for certain. You are no match for us.
Escaping from you girls would take no effort at all, pitiful as you are.
However, if I defeat the Star Detective Precure right here and now...
Usonoir-sama would be greatly pleased!
Are you there, looking down upon me?
Usonoir-sama!
Hoh...
And what a magnificent show you shall see, Usonoir-sama!
Hanninder!
We'll take that statue back!
We'll take those Makoto Jewels back!
Behold! This is our answer!!
Oh, please. Don't make me say it again.
You aren't even on the same page.
Hanninder!
Now then. It is time for you to exit stage left.
It should help the Star Detective Precure when they're in a pinch.
What is that?
Open!
What?
Open! Open!!
No... But why...
Hanninder!
You girls have no place on this stage any longer!
Star Detective Precure!
Pochi...
H-hanninder...!
Pochi...!
Pochitan?
W-what is that!?
Po...chi!!
Ha...hanninder...
At this rate...
Hanninder!
Han!
Tch...
I've at least stolen these two Makoto Jewels. That's a win in my book!
Farewell for now, Star Detectives!
That spacetime fairy...
Po...pochi...
Pochitan!
Pochitan.
Pochitan...
Po...pochi...
