I'm Manatsu Natsuumi!
I finally got to go to the big city like I wanted,
And now I'm super busy with club activities and being a Precure!
Together with our mermaid friend Laura,
We're gonna tropicashine with all our might today too!
Uwah~! What a great view, this is awesome!
This is your first time mountain climbing, right Laura?
Yeah! This is amazing!
I've never seen scenery like this before!
I wanted to show you this view!
These flowers are pretty too.
You don't see these back in the city huh?
They're a mountain species that only grow up in high places.
They're called Dicentra Peregrina, and can bloom even in tough environments like this.
It's known as the Queen of Alpines.
The queen huh...
Just like me then!
Those flowers we saw on the way up were pretty too.
You know, those ones by the riverside...
Ehh? I never saw those!
Well you were sleeping in the Aqua Pot so...
You should have woken me up for it!
Fine, I'll take the river back down then.
Come on now...
Let's all take a little break here for now!
— Yeah!
Eating Tropical Melon Bread on top of a mountain is the best~!
Hey, why don't we take a picture together?
Hold on.
Tropical Club
Kururun, go ahead!
Kururun!
It feels so nice out here huh?
The water is so clear...
These "mountains" are pretty nice too huh.

The Witch's Trap! Laura Captured!
Just how long is it going to take you to collect enough motivation power?
I have long since been tired of waiting.
My sincerest apologies, Madam Procrastination Witch.
You see, a single mermaid has been aiding the humans...
A mermaid... helping the humans?
Mountain climbing sure was fun!
Yep, yep!
Hey, what do you all wanna do for club activities during summer vacation?
For summer vacation, it's gotta be a training camp right?
A training camp!
Sounds like fun~!
Only problem is where are we gonna do it...
We don't have any budget since we just formed the club...
Then how about Minaminojima?
Is that the island you were born on?
Yep! And that way you can all stay at my place for free!
There are tons of beaches there with nobody in sight too!
Laura can swim in the sea there all she wants too!
Kururun?
Huh? Laura's not here...
Time to tropicashine~!
— What's that flavor? — Chick flavor. Not bad.
It's so cute!
This is too red to be mango-watermelon.
Laura, is something wrong?
Not really, I'm fine.
Laura, aren't you being kinda un-tropicashiny today?
Normally you'd be all like "Ah, your flavor looks delicious, gimme a taste!"
Or something like that.
Ah, your flavor looks delicious. Gimme a taste~
Gya!! You took a whole bunch!!
Did you go somewhere by yourself during lunch?
Yeah well, you know.
If you go wandering around like that too much, the Disciplinary Committee people will find you again.
No problem. I won't let myself get caught that easily.
Morning classes are over~!
I'm so hungry now...
Laura, you're gonna eat with us today right?
Huh? The Aqua Pot is gone...
I wonder where she went...
Don't you think Laura's been acting kinda strange lately?
Could it be she's swapped bodies with someone else again?
I'm the real one!
Is Laura up to something and keeping it a secret from us?
— Ah, maybe it's... — What?
She's buying up all the melon bread for herself!
Yeah, I don't think so...
Anyway, let's split up and look for her.
Okay.
Library
Okay, time to continue where I left off yesterday...
The Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid...
Uwahh!
Ah... Um, this is...
I was just a bit curious...
I just wanted to see how we mermaids were portrayed in the human world.
Could it be that you want to become a human too?
Hmph! The heck are you talking about?
There's no way I'd ever want to become human.
But, back when we switched bodies,
You looked like you were having a lot of fun.
That was then, this is now!
I mean, sure it was a little bit fun...
But it's not like I wanted to be human forever or anything...
You see, the mermaid in this story...
She became a human with the witch's power.
But in return, she lost her beautiful voice.
How stupid.
Giving up her beautiful mermaid voice just to become human...
But I think that can be applied to other situations outside of just The Little Mermaid.
What do you mean?
For example...
You know how people study really hard to get good grades on tests right?
By doing that, they lose time they otherwise would have been able to spend doing things they like.
So humans do the same thing.
Whenever they want something in life,
They might have to lose something else important to them in order to get it.
— You find her? — Nope, she's not here.
Not here either huh... I got some melon bread though.
See, I got some for Laura too...
Oh, you came to buy some melon bread too Minorin-senpai?
I'm having yakisoba bread today.
Minorin-senpai, have you seen Laura around?
I just saw Laura earlier in the library.
Really?
I think you should listen to what she has to say later.
Eh?
Hey Laura.
Don't tell me you're homesick again?
Hah? Of course I'm not.
But you've been so down lately...
Did something happen?
Nothing much.
I already told you it's nothing didn't I?
If so then that's good I guess...
You're always having fun huh, Manatsu.
Yeah! Every day is super tropicashiny and fun!
We've been able to do more club activities with you too lately!
You haven't been having fun Laura?
Or maybe it still hasn't been enough for you?
You wanna do more and more club activities with us?
It has nothing to do with club activities!
My goal is to become the Queen of Mermaid Kingdom.
In order to achieve that, I need you and the others to work harder as Precure!
Got it!
I'm rooting for the club, and for you to become queen.
I know it's the one thing you want most, so I'm gonna cheer you on!
— I'm back! Do you have someone else over?
Oh my, a friend of yours?
Yeah, that's right...
Thank you for having me!
Here you go.
Isn't this the first time you've brought a friend home with you?
Is she a friend from school?
Ah, uhm...
My name is Laura.
We met around town, not at school.
I'm from overseas, and came here to visit Aozora City.
Yeah that's right, that's it!
We totally just met by coincidence!
Nice to meet you, Laura.
I'm Aoi Natsuumi.
I work over at Aozora Aquarium.
Nice to meet you.
Huh, what's that?
Ah~!
This is just some nail polish.
They call it a pedicure.
Since I work at the aquarium, normally I can't use any on my fingernails.
But I figured I could at least make my feet fashionable.
It's wonderful...
Laura, you wanna try having a pedicure too?
Eh?
But, I...
Don't have...
Ah, then how about doing your fingernails?
I wanna try having my nails done too!
Yeah, that's it! Looking good!
Manatsu, you're really good at this!
Done! Look, our colors complement each other!
Yeah, it's not half bad.
I know! Tomorrow's Sunday,
Let's have everyone else in the Tropical Club do their nails too!
Honestly...
Those Precure just keep getting in our way time after time.
The biggest pain in the neck I've ever seen.
I'm supposed to be a doctor by profession too...
And I'm supposed to be a chef.
And Elda is a little kid! This is just the worst...
Just when we're able to gather some, that mermaid goes and sucks it all back up and returns it with that weird bottle!
Weird bottle...
Yes, that's it!
Huh?
Whaddya mean by "that"?
I believe they called it the Mermaid Aqua Pot.
That bottle they use to recover the motivation power.
How about stealing that?
Whenever they want something in life,
They might have to lose something else important to them in order to get it.
Is that really how the human world works?
Ohh! Sango you're good at this!
As expected of the daughter of a cosmetics shop owner.
I see Mom do it at work all the time after all.
I've never had my nails done before.
D-doesn't this look a little too flashy?
Not at all! It looks great on you!
Okay, you're all done!
Come on, you too Laura!
So cute~!
Kururun~!
I know!
Let's go ask Ms. Sakuragawa if we can hold a nail polish session at school sometime!
I'm sure everyone would be so tropicashiny!
That sounds fun!
They won't allow a cosmetics club, but as a special event it might be okay.
— Eh?
— Ahh!
Over by the sea!
Dontwanna!
Go get 'em, Donteverwanna!
Steal all their motivation power!
Dontwanna!
Those guys again!
It's Precure time!
Go forth now, girls!
Pretty Cure! Tropical Change!
Let's makeup! Ｃａｔｃｈ！
Cheeks!
Eyes!
Hair!
Lips!
Dress!
The exciting endless summer! Cure Summer!
The sparkling jewel! Cure Coral!
The gleaming fruit! Cure Papaya!

Full of energy today too!
Tropical-Rouge! Precure!
Heheh. I've been waiting for you, Precure.
You're a pain, so let's hurry up and finish this.
Fine by us!
We'll finish this right away for you!
Dontwanna!
Now, Laura! Take back the motivation power!
Alright!
Now, Donteverwanna!
Dontwanna!
Eh?
Jeez!
Now then!
Mermaid Aqua Pot!
Search!
Huh?
Dontwanna!
Eh? Huh?
Ehh?? What's this? This isn't it!
This isn't it~!
Ehh?? Hold on a sec, what's going on?
N-not this one, not that one...
No, no, no!!
Eh?
Ahaha! Good haul today!
Laura!
See ya later.
Ehh~??
What do we do?
Laura got dredged up!
What the heck is going on here?
Kururun!
Found it!
Kururun!
That's it! I'll use the bubble pictures!
What should we do...?
Maybe we should go search for her in the sea...
But how...
Did Laura ever tell you where exactly Gran Ocean is?
Ugh... No, she didn't...
What about the Procrastination Witch?
I don't know anything about her either!
— Manatsu-san?
What are you all doing gathered here like this?
Mafune-san!
This is Mafune Hirabayashi, the director here at the aquarium!
Nice to meet you all.
— Hello.
Ah hey, maybe you'd be able to tell us?
About the world under the sea!
I don't think so... Even if she is an aquarium director...
We wanted to ask you if there's a Mermaid Kingdom somewhere under the sea,
Or if there are any witches living down there somewhere!
Ah, we talked about that the first time we met too didn't we.
That somewhere down in the vast sea, there certainly might be places like that.
Ah, that's right!
Do any of you know how much of this Earth we live on is covered by sea compared to land?
No...
About half of it?
— It's 70 percent. — That's correct.
In other words, the oceans are about 2.5 times more vast than all of the land.
And plus, there are many places in the depths of the oceans that humans have never even been to yet.
To us humans, the sea is a yet unknown world enveloped in about as much mystery as outer space.
Laura...
I guess we didn't really know very much about Laura...
I spoke to Laura yesterday in the library.
Eh, you did?
Laura was reading The Little Mermaid.
Could it be that Laura actually wanted to become human?
Hm?
That's...
It's a bubble picture!
This must be...
I think Laura left us a trail by taking these bubble pictures.
— Let's go! — Yeah!
Pretty Cure! Tropical Change!
We can still breathe, even under the sea!
Wait for us, Laura!
Hey! Let me out of here!
Let me out right this instant!
Quite an annoying mermaid I see.
Hey, you listening you me!?
We cannot have that in front of Madam Witch.
I'm serious!!
So you're the mermaid who has been lending a hand to the humans...
Why have you allied yourself with the humans?
Oh, that must be it...
You long to be human, don't you?
So you want to become human I see...
In that case, you should cooperate with me.
And I shall grant this wish of yours.
Your motivation for today is Ocean Blue!
