Good morning!
Sounds like that thing showed up again!
We've been hearing about it a lot lately...
What's that? What're you talking about?
You don't know?
The mysterious giant creature that appears on Mt. Miharashi!
Mysterious...
Giant...
Creature!?
The mountain climbing club went on a hike there recently.
That's when they heard rustling coming from a side path...
Graaagh!
And a big hairy kaijuu popped out!
It wasn't a kaijuu, it was a youkai!
Maybe it was a dinosaur!
An alien.
I'm telling ya, it was a kaijuu!
But they even take grade schoolers out on field trips at Mt. Miharashi.
Nah, it was a youkai!
A dinosaur!
Could something that large really live there?
Apparently they heard it call out, too.
It had an odd sort of cry.
Like "gamigami"!
Wasn't it more like "garigari"?
I bet it was more like this!
Garugaru!!
Yeah! Exactly!
Iroha! It's a Garugaru—
Gyaaaha! Maybe Satoru-kun'll know!
Let's go ask him!
Hey! Don't go blabbing about Garugarus in front of everyone else!
Oh, right.
If the rumors are real, it would mean a Garugaru is up there on the mountain.
Yep. We better hurry up and find it.
Won't you come with us, Satoru-kun?
Of course I will!
Great! Then let's go!
To Mt. Miharashi!
Yeah!
Catch ya later.
Mayu-chan?
Oh, it's nothing!
Hm?
Garugaru...

Giant Creature, Lurking in the Mountains!?
Mt. Miharashi
You are here!
Hiking course
Rest area
Just a bit further!
Summit
Inukai-san invited me out here...
We're meeting up on a weekend...
Isn't this a...
D-da...
Hey~!
Sorry I'm late!
Satoru-kun~!
No problem!
— I haven't been waiting lon— — Morning-wan!
Satoru-kun, you okay!?
Y-yeah, I'm fine...
Ahaha... Let's do our best to search for that Garugaru.
Yep!
And while we're here, let's have fun climbing the mountain!
I can't wait to have that picnic-wan!
Alright then.
Let's search for clues on our way up to the summit.
Here we go! Ready...
Go!!
Eh!?
We're running there?
W-wait for me, Inukai-san!
— One, two! — Wan, wan!
— Three, four! — Wan, wan!
Wha... what about searching for clues...?
Sniff sniff...
Wafu~n!
This is amazing-wan!
Trees everywhere!
Flowers everywhere!
And even tons of butterflies!
Wan!!
Huh?
You're so cute.
Ahaha! You too, Iroha!
Hah... Finally caught up...
Satoru, you're too slow-wan!
Sorry. I was trying to search along the way...
Search?
Ahh!
We're so sorry, Satoru-kun! We were having so much fun, we totally forgot!
T-that's alright.
I wasn't able to find any clues, anyway.
But... Let's take a little break.
This feels so great!
Huh?
Wow look, tanuki!
They probably have a den somewhere nearby.
You really think there's a Garugaru around here?
I haven't come across any eggshells or likely footprints...
I wonder what sort of Garugaru it is this time, anyway?
They said it's super giant-wan!
A giant creature...
Giant... giant... giant...
Hah!
I know!
This Garugaru must be a...
That's right! It's a whale!
Whale?
Whales are super gigantic, right? And they don't have any legs!
So it makes total sense they wouldn't leave any footprints anywhere!
Iroha, you solved it!
Whales certainly are giant, but they live in the ocean, so...
I doubt one would be up in the mountains.
Ah!
Lives in the mountains. Mountains, mountains...
I got it!
The Garugaru is a squirrel!
They are here in the mountains, but they're very small creatures.
Then, a sea lion!
They live near the sea.
Maybe like, a mole...?
I don't think they get that big...
Then... an orca?
Another sea creature.
Urgh, then...
Here.
Have some of these.
At times like this, you need some sugar replenishment.
Cookies? Wait, did you bake these, Satoru-kun?
Pretty much.
That's awesome!
You can even bake sweets, too!
You're amazing, Satoru-kun!
It's n-not that big of a deal...
Satoru! What about Komugi?
Of course, I made some for you, too.
I chose ingredients that would be safe for dogs to eat too.
So nothing to worry about.
Yay!!
Ahh~n!
— Yummy! — Yummy-wan!
Satoru, you're a genius-wan!
Thanks again, Satoru-kun!
I'm just glad you were able to enjoy them!
Yuki, got some milk for you!
Nyaa!
That good, huh? I'll go buy some more later...
I guess Iroha-chan and the others are up in the mountains right about now...
Nya?
Well apparently, some never-before seen creature was spotted up on Mt. Miharashi.
So they went to go investigate.
I think they said it was giant, and hairy,
And it had a weird kind of call.
Kyarukyaru!
I'm so jealous! I wish I could see it too!
Ah, but...
Wahh!!
What if it flies into a rage?
Will Iroha-chan and the others be okay??
Nyau!
I wonder if I'm overthinking it...
I'm gonna go do some shopping.
Nothing here-wan!
What about you?
Find any Garugaru traces?
Nothing here, either.
Could these be... egg fragments?
Pretty sure they're just mushrooms...
Sniff sniff...
Well? Smell anything?
I don't smell anything-wan.
Gotcha.
I thought it'd be easy to find, since it's supposed to be so big...
We haven't found any footprints, either.
It could be hiding deeper in the mountain, somewhere off the beaten trail.
Then you wanna go searching in there-wan?
It's too dangerous to go searching around randomly like that.
Then let's do this-wan!
Hey! Garugaru! Get out here wan~!!
It couldn't be...
It came out-wan?
My, my!
Oh, it was just y—
You gave us a scare-wan! Ahaha...
Sorry to frighten you, dearies.
We were picking some wild vegetables over by the shrine, and somehow ended up here!
Did you see any giant animals or anything on your way here?
Giant animals?
See any?
I sure didn't.
We haven't seen any small critters, let alone giant ones!
I see.
Thank you very much. Do be careful on your way down.
We will!
Later, dearies!
Any clues-wan?
I guess there's no Garugaru in the direction those three came from.
I should've asked the others where exactly they saw it...
Well in any case, let's head up to the summit. It'll be lunchtime pretty soon too.
Can't wait for food-wan!
Yeah! Just a little bit further!
I hope Yuki'll be happy...
I wonder if Iroha-chan and the others are alright...
What a beautiful girl...
The mountains...
Don't go into the mountains.
Huh?
Don't get involved any further.
W-wait! What do you mean by...
Huh?
Who in the world was that girl?
— We have arrived!! — We have arrived-wan!!
Wow!!
What amazing scenery!
No wonder it's called Mt. Miharashi!
Note: The kanji for "Miharashi" can mean "clear view".
Yep! It's totally...
Wonderful!!
Ahahaha!
Thanks for the food!
Mmm!
When we all eat together, it's even more delicious than usual!
You can say that again!
Picnics are the absolute best-wan!
But we weren't able to find that Garugaru, were we.
There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.
Out of the ordinary... Huh?
Inukai-san? What's wrong?
Well, one time back in grade school, we came here on a field trip.
I remember there being all sorts of animals here at the summit...
Now that you mention it...
The higher we climbed, the fewer of them we saw.
And plus, those ladies from before said there weren't any animals around the shrine, either.
But I'm pretty sure there should be tanuki and weasels around that area.
Wild animals have a very heightened sense of wariness.
Maybe all the nearby animals ran off because of that Garugaru.
Which means the Garugaru could be hiding somewhere around that shrine!
Maybe!
Excellent deduction, Inukai-san!
Iroha, you're amazing-wan!
Ehehehe...
Alrighty! After lunch, we're off to investigate the shrine!
Here's the shrine.
Sniff sniff...
Well?
This way-wan!
It's a Garugaru egg!
There's footprints too!
Satoru-kun, look at that!
A bird's nest?
That's... a bear shelf!
It's a cluster of branches that bears use when feeding.
Bears!? I've never heard of one showing up here on Mt. Miharashi though!
Yeah. But also, look at those footprints.
The size and shape of them are just like a bear's!
So that's what the Garugaru really is-wan?
Garugaru...
That growl...
Garu...
Awaken.
Arise!
Destroy this wretched world!
Garugaru!!
Yuki! You've been sunbathing all this time?
Nyau.
Listen to this. Just a little while ago, a mysterious girl spoke to me.
I never met her before, but somehow it seems like she knew who I was...
Seriously, who was she?
Wan!
Let's go, Komugi!
Yeah!
Wonderful Pact!
Pretty Cure! My Evolution!
Three!
Two!
Wan!
This fantastic world that everybody loves! Cure Wonderful!
Let's play together!
This world colored with everyone's smiles! Cure Friendy!
Let me hear your voice!
Ready, set...!
Wonderful Pretty Cure!
Garugaru!
Garu!
It's crazy strong!!
If we get hit even once, it's all over!
Let's get some distance on it!
'Kay!
Never turn your back on a bear!
Eh?
Wahh!!
That was close!
Wonderful! Friendy!
Bears are very strong, but they're also easily frightened!
So if you suddenly run up close to it, it'll get scared and attack you!
Just make sure you act calmly around it!
Garugaru! We're not your enemies!
Garu!
Wonderful!
Yo! Hah!
Garu!
Over here!
Garu!
Keep it up, you'll never get me!
Garu!
Garugaru!
Come on, let's stop being all garugaru!
Garugaru!
Ahhh!!
Look out!
Friendly Takt!
Hurray! Hurray! Friendy!
Help! Kirarin Animal!
Lion!
Wahh!!
Huh? Where's Friendy?
I'm right here!
I kinda caught you in an awkward position...
Garugaru!?
What's the matter with it?
You two!
Bears are scared of anything larger than themselves!
Right now, the two of you should look like a much larger animal to it!
So then now...
We can get close to it!
It's okay now.
No need for violence anymore!
Garugaru...
Come now, let's return you to your original form.
Ugh!
Garugaru!
Watch out!
There's a scratch on its forehead?
Now's your chance!
Friendly Takt!
Bringing you wonderful times!
Wan-wan! Wan~!
May the garugaru in your heart begone!
Precure! Friend-Liberale!
Kira!
Kira...
Thank goodness. That scratch looks like it's healed too.
Let's go back to Niko Garden!
Welcome home, dear.
Iroha-sama, Komugi-sama.
Excellent work, as always.
Kirarin Bear is now fit as a fiddle!
He's even working out...
Looks like he's pretty strong.
Phew.
Thanks for saving me back there-kira!
We're happy to see you well again!
But that scratch you had before...
Who did that to you?
My memory's kinda fuzzy on that-kira.
But...!
She was really strong!
That other Precure!
Eh!?
Who's that-wan?
What a mehhstery!
What does this mean?
Yet another puzzle on the pile!
But that picnic earlier sure was fun-wan!
I wanna do it again-wan!
Yeah, me too!
