CURETTO DETECTIVE AGENCY

Hi everyone!

Hello!

Kurea, Shushutan!

Huh? You're not at the patisserie today?

I asked the manager to adjust my shifts
so I have time to sleuth.

Oh! You're a dual-wielder!

-Dual-wielding means...
-...that you have two special skills!

Kurea, you're amazing!

Heh-heh!

The Pre-Kit Book I got...

I'll fill up the blank pages,

and work hard to become
a Star Detective like you two!

Huh?

-Oh, gosh!

The Mysterious Thief Decchi Agein!

W-What are we gonna do?

He speaks English!

Get the gummies!

- UNIVERSITY STUDENT
PAUL

- Sorry, I was in a panic.

- I can speak Japanese, so don't worry.

Oh, good.

Your Japanese is very good.

Thanks, I've moved here recently
from London to study at a university.

London? I was there until recently, too!

Oh! Really?

Oh, but I'm not very good at English.

So, what can we help you with?

Well, actually...

- I got this.

- PHANTOM THIEVES' GUILD

- TODAY AT 6:12:38, I'LL STEAL THE DOLL

- That pattern...

Maybe it's code?

Yeah, it must be.

- TODAY AT 6:12:38, I'LL STEAL THE DOLL
PHANTOM THIEVES' GUILD

- "Today at 18:12:38,
I'll steal the doll...

- Phantom Thieves' Guild."

What do they mean by doll?

Oh, is this the place?

Hmm?

This is my apartment building.

Maybe the squares on the card
represent this building?

They might!

Why are the Precures here?

A calling card?

You're the only one
who sends those, Arcana Shadow.

No, it wasn't me.

Anyway, why are you sitting there?

Aw c'mon, why not?

-It's not right!
-It's not right!

Anyway.

Someone is masquerading
as the Phantom Thieves' Guild?

But what for?

Oh?

I'll go too!
You'll be nervous on your own!

Hey, hey! Don't be shy, now!

You can ask for help once in a while!

C'mon! Just ask!

-She's already gone.
-She's left.

What?

This is the doll in the calling card.

Whoa!

She's gold-star cute!

A French doll?

The ones with a ceramic head
are called "bisque dolls."

It's a precious family heirloom.

If it ever got stolen...

It'll be okay.

We'll protect it for sure.

- TODAY AT 6:12:38, I'LL STEAL THE DOLL

- The key has got to be
in this calling card.

The design looks like some kind of code.

Maybe it'll indicate a place
if we hold it up to a light?

TODAY AT 6:12:38, I'LL STEAL THE DOLL

The pattern is strange,

but the time is strange, too.

- TODAY AT 6:12:38

- At 12 minutes and 38 seconds past six.

Normally it would be six or seven o'clock.

Don't they usually give a round number?

That's true.

Maybe there's a reason
why it's that specific time?

That reminds me.

Some service workers are coming at six.

Air conditioner repair,
and furniture and computer delivery.

That means...

They'll be here during the predicted time.

-Those three are suspicious!
-Yeah!

- ELECTRONICS SHOP STAFF
GENKI MARUTA

- Hello! I'm here
to fix the air conditioner.

-It's over here.
-Okay.

- FURNITURE SHOP STAFF
KANA KITANO

- I've brought the chair you ordered.

- COMPUTER SHOP STAFF
MANABU UEDA

- Where shall I set up the computer?

None of the three seem suspicious.

It's almost time.

We still haven't cracked the code!

Nor the mystery of the specific time.

Can we let this go on?

Can we really protect it?

Kurea!

It's okay!

I'm with you.

Thank you, Shushutan!

Kurea, you're forgetting
something important.

Huh?

Your sparkle!

I'm alright now!

I follow the sparkle inside me.

What's important to a detective?

What do they do when they're stuck?

Go back to basics.

It's empty!

Paul!

Yes?

Please tell me about
when the calling card arrived.

What? Now?

Yes, I should have asked you
at the very start.

But I was distracted by the strange card,
and I forgot to ask.

That's true!

We didn't ask any questions!

When did you find the calling card?

-It was this morning.
-Where?

Uh, it flew in that window.

From the window?

It sparkled!

Compared to London,
Japan's summer is hot, isn't it?

It sure is! My air conditioner broke,
so I opened the window to cool down.

I see...

But that's very strange.

That window won't open.

-What?
-What?

What do you mean?

The windows on the top floors of apartment
buildings are often that way for safety.

See?

This window doesn't have a lock
or a handle anywhere, does it?

Whoa, you're right!

If the window doesn't open,
how did the card fly in?

Are you saying Paul is lying?

Yes. But why is he lying?

That's because

Paul was the one who wrote the card.

Meaning you're the culprit!

Amazing! I shouldn't have attempted
a disguise when I'm not used to it.

Well done, Kurea Howa.

Who are you?

I'm Decchi Agein.

Nice to meet you.

Star Detective Precures.

Decchi Agein?

A member of the Phantom Thieves' Guild?

So what's the code in the calling card?

You drew that pattern
to make us think it was a code.

Then you deflected suspicion
from yourself.

That's exactly right.
But there are truths within the lies.

I really did come from London.

Also,

I will take the doll
at 18:12 and 38 seconds!

We won't let you!

Open!

Pre-Kit Light!

The doll!

If it were any other Phantom Thief,
you would have won.

But I have a special power.

Teleportation.

Huh?

Such a troublesome power.

Luluka!

You were behind this after all.

So it was you in disguise, Luluka Moria.

It's okay, I'll share the stage with you.

I like talented actors.

Lies,

envelop!

Let's create an era!

Hanninda!

Ha-ha! Hanninda!

-Everyone!
-Yeah!

Open!

Jewel Cure Watch!

Precure! Wake-up Time!







Spin around!

And finish off cutely!

Gold-star closing the case on any mystery!

Precure! Wake-up Time!

Floral spin,

The fragrance of inner truth,
Star Detective Cure Eclair!

I'll show you my answer.

You can't have the Makoto Jewel!

Oh?

I'd heard about it,

but I'm surprised to see
there are two Jewel Cure Watches.

Hanninda!

Whoa! The hair is...!

In that case!

Eclair Illusion!

Han!

Nin!

Da!

Han! Hannin!

Hanninda!

Alright!

Cure Eclair, you're amazing!

Eclair...

Enveloping all in mystery and secrets,

Now then, welcome to the labyrinth.

Arcana!

Why are you with the Phantom Thieves?

Answer me!

Fine, I'll tell you.

It's so I can defeat you.

What?

Cure Eclair!

What do you mean?

Look at you go, Arcana... Shadow.

You're so rewarding to direct.

You're not lying, are you?

Now I understand your goal.

But no matter what,
I have to solve the case!

I learned that from you!

Sparkle Time!

Open!

Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!

Shushutan!

Makoto Jewel!

Cure Eclair'll close this case!

Elegantly spreading my wings
and solving the mystery.

This is my answer.

Precure! Flying Infinity!

CUREtto Case Closed!

Hanninda!

Pochi Pochi Cure Cure!

Now that's a great lineup of actors!

Starring Star Detective Precures.

Directed by Decchi Agein.

This'll be a performance
for the history books!

Even so, you've become quite
the Phantom Thief, Arcana... Shadow.

You seem to be getting
the hang of your Shadow powers.

Are you okay?

Let's go.

Whoa! The world is spinning.

Hang in there, Cure Eclair!

How was it? My inspiring direction.

Forget that, what about London?

Ah, yes, the London office.

There's a pesky lady there,
but her downfall is just a matter of time.

Anyway, you seemed
like you needed my help more.

I'm dual-wielding this and London.

I don't need help.

Don't be so stubborn.

You're still set
on being the great king, right?

Using powers to steal isn't dignified.

Are you still stuck on that?

It's just like you, though.

From now on,
I won't use my powers to steal.

I promise, Usocchi.

Don't call me that.

-Aren't we friends, Usocchi?
-Stop it.

So, did it go alright?

Yeah! We brought the French doll
back to its owner.

One more case solved!

Solved!

Decchi Agein... A new Phantom Thief?

Another troublesome one has emerged!

Kurea!

W-What?

Are you thinking about Luluka?

Yeah.

What Luluka said,
that she's doing it to defeat me...

To defeat me.

That might not be a lie.

But the sparkle inside me says

the truth lies beyond that.

I will make sure to find that truth.

I promise!
