My name is Akechi Anna!
Mikuru's new school semester started today.
Legendary Pre-Kit charms, from an old book I found!
I went to Mikuru's school to give her an umbrella, as well as this new Pre-Kit charm, but...
On second thought, wouldn't want to bother her.
Then Nijee took that beloved twin-swallow statue at school, and turned it into Hanninders!
Mikuru and I couldn't seem to get on the same page...
And Pochitan had to step in and save us.
But the Makoto Jewels were taken, and...
Pochitan...
Wahh!
Jett-senpai!
Pochitan is...!

The Miraculous
Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!
Look, she's drinking her milk. She'll be fine.
Here. Have a drink too.
So Pochitan summoned a bright light, and then this lit up too, huh.
Looks like some more research is in order.
Sorry.
I meant to give you one of them, but I couldn't.
Nijee. Why has he not returned?
He got his hands on two Makoto Jewels, as well.
That's wicked bogus!
Cure Arcana Shadow.
Bring Nijee back here!
Lie Lie, Sir!
Pochi...
Mikuru?
I'm gonna get those Makoto Jewels back.
Then I'll come t—
You stay with Pochitan.
I was yet undecided how to carry it, but...
Thanks to you, I figured it out.
Hanninder!
Make it fly like a swallow, and it can be moved out of here with ease!
It's all my fault...
There he is, just as my fortune-telling foretold.
Hm?
Fufu! So this is where you were!
Why haven't you returned?
You lost, kid?
Of course I'm not, you idiot!
Then why?
Hmph.
I seek a conclusion of a rather more beautiful quality.
The avarice of this phantom thief knows no bounds.
What are you planning?
I shall defeat the Precure.
That is what I told Usonoir-sama.
I have no other way out.
So I shall finish this with elegance!
So you've returned, searching for traces of evidence.
Just as I thought.
I've been waiting for you, Miss Detective.
Nijee...
Whoa there! Calm down, baby.
I am only here to invite you to a marvelous show, like none other!
The Makoto Jewels. In other words, the two swallows, for your viewing pleasure.
What?
Our venue shall be that pristine shore, pride of this city.
Nijigahama Beach!
Well? Isn't it romantic?
Stop!
I await your arrival, baby!
No luck.
I've researched from every angle, with nothing to show for it.
Where's Mikuru?
She went to go search for the Makoto Jewels.
Honestly... What's she thinking, leaving you behind?
It's my...
It's my fault.
I couldn't call out to Mikuru.
Anna?
She was smiling!
She was with her friends. It was a side of Mikuru I've never seen.
I saw it.
There's a whole other world to Mikuru, that I know nothing of.
I mean, of course. We just met, so how could I possibly know?
I figured I shouldn't bother her.
So I started investigating on my own, and...
We got in a fight...
You two're all mixed up!
Eh?
It's like you and Mikuru switched places or something.
You worried over Mikuru so much you became paralyzed in thought. Am I right?
That's just what Mikuru would do!
And now Mikuru's the one sprinting off outta nowhere...
She's acting just like you, Anna!
Guess you're really rubbing off on each other, eh?
Even though you just met, too...
Seriously, you two're really something.
I trust only what I see with my own two eyes, remember?
True, it hasn't been long. But even I can see this much.
You two are a destined...
No...
A miraculous duo!
Jett-senpai...
Hmph.
Pochi...
Pochi.
Pochitan.
Leave Pochitan to me.
Now get out there. Go to Mikuru.
You two're Star Detective Precure together, ain'tcha?
Jett-senpai...
Pochi.
Okay!
I'm heading out!
Open!
Pre-Kit Voice Memo!
Anna!?
Mikuru! Where are you right now?
Headed to the beach! Nijee told me to go there.
I'll see you there!
What about Pochitan?
She's with Jett-senpai! No worries!
I gotta hurry!
Why did you call her out here?
The sea... I see.
She already caught on to my scheme?
What's that mean?
Heh.
But today, Usonoir-sama will not be in the audience.
It will be a private showing.
I shall defeat the Precure, bring back the two Makoto Jewels, and...
Surprise!
Whatever makes you happy.
Just finish your job already.
You don't have to tell me...
That's exactly what I plan to do.
Heh.
I've been waiting, Precure.
Mikuru!
Anna!
Oh? I see that baby fairy isn't with you today.
Well, whatever. That suits me just fine, in fact.
Hanninder!
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!
Go, Hanninder!
Hanninder!
Han!
Nin!
That is what Nijee was aiming for.
Eh?
You have no solid ground to jump from, out there. The sea works to your disadvantage.
Meanwhile, my swallows can soar through the air unfettered!
What will you do now?
What!?
Not bad.
You're telling me they made their own footholds!?
Time for a counterattack!
Answer Attack!
Hanninder!
Mystique Reflection!
Der!
Give back those Makoto Jewels!
And that swallow statue, too!
Hahaha...
But this act has only just begun!
— Han! — Nin!
Der!!
Hanninder!
Pochi!
Wahh! You reacting to those Makoto Jewels or something?
Pochi! Pochi...
C'mon, you shouldn't be up and about yet!
Pochi...po...
Pochi...
Fine! I get it, okay?
Just need me to bring ya there, right?
Always one thing after another with all of you! Darn it all...
Pochi!
The Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe...
You want me to bring those with?
Pochi.
This is what it means to band together as one!
Ahhh!
Hanninder!
Hahahahaha...
It seems rainfall is upon us once more.
As if the sorry state of your being is reflected in the heavens themselves.
I just wanted to... to bring you an umbrella, Mikuru.
What?
But then...
I saw you with your friends.
I didn't want to bother you, so...
But above all else, I kept thinking...
In this time... In this world...
I'm all alone.
That's why I decided to work the case on my own.
I'm sorry.
I never realized.
But it makes sense.
Suddenly thrown back here, to the year 1999...
You must have felt so helpless, and insecure.
And despite that, I...
I shouldn't have left you...
I'm sorry.
Mystique...
Hanninder!
Now then, it's time to wrap this show up. Wouldn't you say, Precure?
Pochi!
So you've finally taken the stage, baby fairy!
But I shan't let you upstage me!
Hanninder!
What the heck are those!?
P-pochi...!
Here! You wanna bring these to 'em, don'tcha?
To Anna and Mikuru!
Pochi.
I've got you covered!
Go, Pochitan!
Pochi!
The Star Detective Precure must have a partner fairy to support them.
Someone to be right by the detective's side, always keeping a steady watch...
Is Pochitan trying to become that presence for them?
To become Answer and Mystique's partner fairy...!?
I won't let you get in their way!
You want some of this? Then bring it on!
Pochi!
Pochi?
Answer!
Mystique.
We're all mixed up today, huh?
Eh?
That's what Jett-senpai said.
It's like we've swapped places, since then.
Just take a step forward, and the answer will follow!
That's because you're the one who helped me realize.
One step of ready courage will become your answer!
What!?
Mystique.
Earlier, you said I must have felt helpless and insecure to be sent here, to the year 1999.
But I'm fine now!
Sent here, to the year 1999!?
Because I can feel you, Mikuru! Right here inside of me!
Yes! I can feel you right here inside of me too, Anna!
We are...
Not alone!
I don't care if you're alone or together or whatever you want!
I have no other way out...
I must defeat you!
Together with Mystique, we'll take back the Makoto Jewels!
And the swallow statue, too!
We're taking it all back!
Pochi~!
And it's not just us...
We're a team of three!
Pochi!
Open!
Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!
Pochitan!
Pochi~!
Makoto Jewel!
Observe!
Perceive!
Solve the mystery!
Behold! This is our answer!
Precure! Flying Spectre!
Cracked Cured'n Closed!
Hanninder...
Pochi!
Pochi-pochi! Cure-cure!
Let us return.
Pochi!
Sorry about that, Pochitan.
Thank you.
Pochi-pochi!
Hey!
You okay, girls?
Jett-senpai!
Well, whaddya know.
Looks like you're a full-fledged partner fairy now.
Pochi...
Pochi!
Pochi~!
Your role here has come to an end.
Usonoir-sama...
Go now. To the depths of the trap-room abyss.
Note: "naraku" can also mean a trap-door basement under a stage
No... Usonoir-sama!
P-please wait! I have valuable information for you!
O-one of those Precure... Cure Answer!
She said she was sent here, to the year 1999!
Most likely, she traveled here from a different time altogether.
What?
A Precure who traveled here from a different time...?
That was not written in the Tome of Mirages...
It couldn't be...
I was able to get in touch with my sister!
Oh boy... She was just asleep when I happened to phone her!
Because it was the middle of the night in London, right?
It's just like you said, Mikuru!
Thank you very much!
Thank goodness Keiko-san was safe!
Yes.
And the twin-swallow statue is back in its rightful place!
That ghost disturbance is...
Hanamaru case closed!
Pochi!
Ahh! That's my candy!
Spit it out, now!
Pochi!
Give it back! C'mon, you little runt!
Pochitan! Get down here!
