[bunniefuu]

Who would've thought
it was so easy to steal?

Let's hurry and bring it back
to Maestro Usonoir.

-No.
-Huh?

The real show starts now.

What?

There they are!

The Precures!

Kurea Howa.

You've got the lead role today.

Goemon, prepare a trick maze.

Huh?

This is for Usocchi's sake, too.

Sheesh. Come forth, trick maze!

The Duo's Past

Huh? But why?

This is a world of memories.

You can't touch anything.

I've borrowed the power of the trick maze
to reenact Kurea Howa's past.

I find your powers very fascinating.

Oh, here's our protagonist.

Wait, is that girl...?

Kurea?!

There's Luluka!

This was three years ago.

I've scouted this girl!

And I've scouted her!

Kurea, introduce yourself.

I'm Kurea Howa.

Luluka... Moria.

Nice to meet you!

It's the day you two first met.

Open!

Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe.

Let's look for a clue to escape!

Okay!

How lovely! Anyone who visits
is captivated by them.

What a wonderful fragrance!

Amazing!

-Fragrance, huh? Great!
-What?

Director Mafuru!

Mafuru, as in Detective Mafuru,
the Proof of Dawn?

The one who solved the lost crown case
that shook England? Really?

A world-famous detective is the director
of the CUREtto Detective Agency?

Keep it a secret.

She must be an amazing detective.

Huh? What?

Time moved forward?

This must be the second act.

Only the fairies and I work here.
Our cooperation makes it run smoothly.

Oh?

They don't usually open up
to anyone but me. That's unusual.

What lovely lilies.

They're called Top of Lily.

Created from the bonds
between fairies and humans.

They're the king of lilies.
Or rather, the queen.

Perhaps this is the guidance of destiny.

What is it?

The Makoto Jewel.
Human hearts that believed in fairies.

Human hearts?

Believed? Past tense?

You're clever.

THE SECRET OF THE BIG MAKOTO JEWEL

Here we go again.

Long ago, humans and fairies got along.

They were the ultimate partners!

But then,

as time passed,

humans stopped believing in fairies.

The hearts of truth that believed
in the fairies left humans.

They came together
to form the Makoto Jewel.

The power to believe is really something.

It can even turn lies into truth.

The ones targeting it
are the Phantom Thieves' Guild.

That's why I'm warping
time and space to protect it.

The Phantom Thieves' Guild
wants to envelop the world in lies.

To become a great king.

We must stop them.

But how?

As Star Detective Precure!

Star Detective?

Precure?

They rescue people. Everyone admires them.
They're our hope!

Children with nobody to depend on.

People in trouble. People who need help.

They'll bring smiles back to everyone!

Want to try it?

I will!

I'll be a Star Detective Precure!

I'll make everyone smile!

Me too.

Amazing!

Now that's decided,
next is the detective test!

Your vase disappeared?

Who was in the mansion
when you noticed the crime?

It was only us.

Nobody went in or out of the mansion
before or after the crime.

The windows don't open.

Nobody came in from outside.

The chimney?

It's a big vase, so it's impossible
to carry it through the chimney.

Did you figure out something?

Yes. I know where the vase disappeared to.

It was broken, and hidden here.

You hurried to hide it, and got your hands
dirty in the fireplace ashes.

Oh Lucy, are you hurt?

You passed the detective test
on your first try. That's my Luluka.

Kurea...

You look disappointed.

You'll let happiness slip away.

Too bad about the detective test.

I've failed...

You realized the truth.

But you couldn't say it
out of concern for Lucy.

I've got it.

I'll show you something special.

Luluka, you come too!

What's that?

The Star Kiraring Brooch.

No Star Detective has ever been able
to pull out this ring.

If you can pull out the ring, you'll be
accepted as a true Star Detective.

But I failed the test...

Detectives reveal truths.

Understanding the client's side
is part of it as well.

She said it before you could.

Kurea and Luluka, one day,

I'm sure you'll be able
to pull out the ring.

-It's my sparkle!
-Huh?

My sparkle is telling me so.

You should believe your own sparkle, too.

My... sparkle?

Now we're in our detective agency!

According to my sleuthing...

The Land of Truth the Phantom Thieves
are looking for is in this town.

We've got to look hard for it.

Are you really okay
with being Luluka's assistant?

Yeah!

I'll learn a lot from Luluka,
and someday I'll become a Star Detective!

I decided to help at a patisserie
so I can gather more information.

And the detective test?

I know you'll pass it easily!

I've received your legendary Pre-Kit
from Mafuru.

But it's not that simple...

I ordered this from Shinian.

A testament to human-fairy friendship.

A perfume made from Top of Lily.

It's perfect for you,
since the fairies trust you.

Why perfume?

Fragrance.

Huh?

That time.

What you noticed wasn't
the flowers' look,

but their invisible fragrance.

You look at things differently than I do.

I don't know...

You always stay a step back.

That's your weakness.

But... a weakness can become a strength.

A single step back can reveal the answer.

Don't forget your sparkle.

My sparkle...

You are strong.

I see.

This day has come.

The time is finally here!

I'll become a Precure and stop them.

Look after the fairies.

Luluka!

We're finally getting to the heart of it.

Oh yeah! We have to get out of here!

But how?

-Huh?
-That butterfly is odd...

I see!

This is the answer!

-The key to escaping from here!
-That's it!

To a world of lies!

I believe in my sparkle!

I knew it.

That's the Top of Lily...

Kurea!

Open!

Pre-Kit Light!

Anna, Mikuru!

This is our answer!

Amazing! Well spotted.

You said we couldn't touch anything
in the memory world.

But that butterfly
landed on Pochitan's head!

That's when we noticed.

That butterfly was the key
to escaping the maze.

Next it's Goemon's time to shine!

Lies, envelop!

Come on, Hanninda!

Hanninda! Han!

Let's go!

Open!

Jewel Cure Watch!

Precure! Wake-up Time!







Spin around!

And finish off cutely!

Gold-star closing the case on any mystery!

Star Detective Cure Answer!

Jumping towards smiles
with layered reasoning!

Star Detective Precure!

Open!

Top of Lily Fragrance!

Precure! Wake-up Time!

Floral spin,

The fragrance of inner truth,
Star Detective Cure Eclair!

I'll show you my answer.

Hanninda!

Hanninda!

Decchi Agein.

Open.

Tear Arcana Rod!

Shuffle!

Reverse!

Enveloping all in mystery and secrets,
Cure Arcana Shadow!

Now then, welcome to the labyrinth.

Hey now, aren't we on the same side?

Right, Arcana Shadow?

What are you doing?

Imagine you wanting to hear the answer.

I never thought you'd come all this way.

Or maybe there's something you don't
want people to know?

Hanninda!

Mystique Reflection!

We can't get close!

Han-nin-nin-nin-nin!

They'll bring back smiles to everyone!

Don't forget your sparkle.

Sparkle Time!

Ha! Ha! Hanninda!

A single step back
can reveal the answer!

Da! Hanninda!

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!

W-We did it...

Fall back!

I apologize for offending you.

Please forgive me.

Arcana Shadow.

Anyway, why did you decide to help out
at a patisserie?

There are other places
where you could gather information.

Right?

Because Luluka likes ice cream.

Kurea Howa.

She can use the power of Top of Lily,

so she's someone special.

had such a past!

It's okay! I believe in my sparkle!

Luluka, you look different!

Star Detective Precure!
"Eclipse Shadow"

That mystery! CUREtto Case Closed!
