Solve the Mystery of the Painting!

CURETTO DETECTIVE AGENCY

MOE SAIKI

Can you solve this painting's mystery?

It's a self-portrait by my late mother.

It was found overseas and sent to my home.

That's Christina Pipopovic Fumie!

Christina... who?

Pipopovic Fumie.

A painter who was popular overseas
about 30 years ago.

But I thought
she only painted landscapes...

Yes, this is the only time
my mother painted a person.

Why did she paint a self-portrait?

You want us to solve that mystery.

What's the painting called?

My Greatest Happiness.

My Greatest Happiness, hmm.

Alright!

Leave it to us star detectives.

Let's start the investigation!

-Yeah!
-Pochi!

Pochi?

- HANRAIDO BOOKSTORE

- C-Christina Pipopovic Fumie you say?

Of course, I have all her books!

I never thought I'd hear that name
from a young girl like you.

She was a big part of my youth.

Alright! By comparing the style
and color use of these paintings,

I'm sure we'll find a clue
to the mystery of the self-portrait.

These are all books about fashion,
food, and travel.

There are no books of her paintings.

She was often on TV,
since she was so popular.

This one has a few landscapes...

This isn't enough to learn anything.

I know where we can go next!

ATELIER PLENTY
ART CLASS

Thank you for your help the other day!

Just ask if you need anything else.

We have a question about this.

Why did Fumie, a landscape painter,
paint a self-portrait?

Hmm... let me see...

-You're good!
-I know!

-Sorry it's so loud in here.
-Not at all!

I used to enjoy drawing
when I was a child, too.

Is something wrong?

N-No!

What's going on?

Pochitan?

She said there wasn't anything unusual
about the composition or use of color.

We're having trouble finding a solid clue.

-Why the long faces?
-Huh?

From the patisserie!

I'm Kurea Howa!

PATISSERIE CHUCHU

-Whoa!
-Gold-star cute!

Eat some treats and recover your energy!

Yum! It's so good!

This mille-feuille is amazing!

I ate them often with my grandma
when we lived overseas a long time ago

and came to really love them.

I didn't know that!

This is a nice place.

I should bring my daughter here.

We've visited PreHoli, too.

That's how I learned of
the detective agency.

You don't say!

Gulp!

Dorayaki really are the best!

- PATISSERIE CHUCHU

- They're...!

That's right! Maestro Usonoir did say
there'd be a Makoto Jewel around here.

Lie lie, sir!

He told us to wait
while he bought dorayaki.

I truly don't get it.

Yeah. Ice cream tastes better.

That's not what I meant.

This is my latest creation. Try them!

-Macarons!
-How cute!

When we lived overseas,
my mother often bought them for us.

It reminds me of those days.

Honestly, I didn't think they tasted good.

They were a bit lumpy, too.

Is that so...

Moe?

Could you tell us more about Fumie?

-What?
-What was your mother like in real life?

How did you feel about her?

My mother loved beauty and style.

She was very particular about everything:
fashion, food, even where she lived.

That sounds like an artist.

I was exposed to all that,
and learned how to identify good things.

But it wasn't important to me.

My mother walked her own path,
living as she liked.

I now know that, thanks to this research.

So I think My Greatest Happiness
refers to her feelings about her own self.

Her own self...

That's her greatest happiness?

Um, could you give the macarons
just a little taste, please?

Alright, if it's just a little.

It's delicious! Why?

I think maybe the macarons you ate before
weren't actually bought from a store.

What?

Oh! Thanks to Kurea I got it!

I'm sure those macarons
were made by your mom.

So the shape and flavor weren't great
compared to storebought ones.

B-But I've never seen
my mother make anything.

It's like this painting!

She was a landscape painter, and nobody
had ever seen her self-portrait.

Yeah, her true self might be
concealed in here!

Moe! Could you show us the real painting?

There could be a clue in it
that we can't find in a photo!

Here.

I don't see anything
different from the photo.

I just can't imagine my mother
making those lumpy macarons.

She was always striving for perfection.

I think she painted a self-portrait
to show off her successful self.

I wonder if that's true?

No, there must be another important clue!

Open!

Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!

Oh!

Gold-star discovery!

These are fingerprints
from holding the painting.

Huh? They're here too.

And here!

Why there?

Could it be...

The prints on the top
and bottom are Fumie's!

In the painting, she's wearing a ring
on her left pinky, right?

That's why that part isn't showing!

But why the top and bottom?

You usually hold the sides
of a painting, right?

I see!

This is the answer!

Fumie's true self!

This is it!

Moe.

This is the correct orientation
for the painting.

Horizontal?

Everyone misunderstood.

Everyone thought it should be vertical.

But that wasn't the case.

Fumie herself held it the right way.

This is it.

She's lying down?

Yes. At first I thought it was odd
because she's wearing shoes.

But Moe, you lived overseas, right?

In some countries,
people wear shoes indoors.

So she could be lying down.

Now that I think of it,
she did have a sofa that color.

Oh, yes.

My mother... my mother in that moment.

I had forgotten!

We ate macarons together,
and laughed, saying they tasted terrible.

I remembered that moment.

I get it now.
Your greatest happiness was that moment.

Mother.

Pochitan?

What's this?

Just now, was that a Makoto Jewel?

Moe's feelings and her mother's feelings
aligned and made a Makoto Jewel!

- SAIKI

- Yes?

Hey!

Whoa!

Phantom Delivery Service!

I've come to retrieve the Makoto Jewel.

Goemon!

You can't just barge in here!

I'll leave right away!
As soon as I steal that painting!

I won't let you!

Tsk.

Aren't they...?

That's far enough!

In that case, open!

Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!

Gold-star Copy!

The Mirror Loupe copy function!
It makes perfect copies of anything!

Huh?

W-What's this?

Try and get it now!

Which is the real one?

Why not just retrieve the Makoto Jewel?

You two! Easier said than done!

It's simple.

They'll protect the original.

Ah, I see.

Mikuru!

This is the real one!

Oh no!

That was easy!

Give it back!

I'm afraid I can't do that.

Lies, envelop!

Come on!

Hanninda!

Han! Nin! Da!

Yeah!

Open!

What?

Hanninda!

It's a painting?

Two Precure paintings!

If I take them back with the Makoto Jewel,
Maestro Usonoir will be pleased!

Hanninda!

Hanninda!

Moe's mom wanted to preserve
her greatest moment in that painting!

Han!

She painted a portrait to say the time
they spent together made her the happiest!

Nin!

Da!

-It's a special painting.
-We won't let you have it!

That's what makes it worth stealing!

Hanninda!

Hanninda!

-Mikuru!
-Don't worry.

I'll make sure you return
to your own time!

Yeah!

More personable, huh?

Okay!

Welcome!

Hm?

Ugh! You didn't see that!
