Why are you so restless?

We opened the Detective Agency,
but we don't have any clients!

That just means everything is peaceful!

That's true!

H-Help me!

A-Anyway, let's sit him down.

Where?

What am I gonna do?!

Exciting! Our First Client!

CURETTO DETECTIVE AGENCY

I'm Detective Anna Akechi!

I'm Mikuru Kobayashi!

Oh, okay. Nice to meet you.

I gave him my business card!
I feel like a detective!

That's great, Mikuru!

Sheesh!

Allow me to introduce myself.

- I'm Junichi Komatsuzaki.

- UNIVERSITY STUDENT
JUNICHI KOMATSUZAKI

You said there are apples
and potatoes in your bag?

Yeah! I suddenly noticed
the contents had changed!

Apples, potatoes, onions,
bread, and an apron.

What was in your bag originally?

My manga manuscript...

-And some clothes.
-Manga manuscript?!

You're a manga artist?

No, I'm just trying to be one.

I came to show
my manuscript to a publisher.

- If they like it,
I could become a manga artist!

- EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT

No, I will be one!

Wow!

Where did you notice
your manuscript was missing?

Huh?

- Here?

- CURETTO DETECTIVE AGENCY

- I went for a walk to calm down before
going to the publisher, and ended up here.

I then noticed that my bag felt heavy.

P-Potatoes?!

Huh? Where's my manuscript?

My manuscript?!

CURETTO DETECTIVE AGENCY

D-Detective Agency?

Whoa! Help! Detective!

How could the contents of my bag change?

Hmm.

Isn't the strap too short?

But I don't remember making it shorter.

I got it!

It wasn't the contents,
but the whole bag that got switched!

No!

This is definitely my... huh?

It's dirty.

Did you drop it somewhere?

Now that you mention it!
In front of the station!

I see...

I've found the location of
another Makoto Jewel.

I'll steal it with grace.

No, I should go!

You can, like, stand down!

That's my line, baby!

There they go again.

Easy there!

Being passionate is great and all,

but you're barking up the wrong tree.

I, Goemon, will take it on!

There he is... what a pain.

Maestro Usonoir. Leave it to me.

You just want to go, don't you?

That's so totally wack!

No! It's for the newcomer!

I'll take her along and show her
the ropes of being a thief!

She can watch me and learn!

He doesn't need to do all that!

Go, Goemon.

Cure Arcana Shadow!

Lie lie, sir!

Lie lie, sir!

Yeah, it was here!

Someone ran toward me and we collided
and I dropped my bag!

Could it be?

When you two collided,

you happened to exchange bags,

and you took the wrong bag?

I see! That could be it!

What did that person look like?

I don't remember.

There was just someone here
with that same bag!

She was looking for a man
who took her bag.

Anna, your reasoning was right!

Yeah!

Where is that person now?

Not sure. She went that way.

What did she look like?

-A young woman with glasses.
-Hmm, I see.

Her hair was like this.

I'm done! It was this person, right?

This person?

Yeah, that's her!

What?!

-He recognized her!
-Amazing.

Let's go find her!

According to the Tome of Mirages,
the clue to finding the Makoto Jewel is,

"A square object, wrapped in purple
and stuffed with dreams."

Wrapped in purple? A purple cloth?

A bag.

Painting classes!

- ATELIER PLENTY
PAINTING CLASSES

- Now taking new students!

Please take one!

Painting classes!

I want to learn how to sketch faces.

Do you want me to teach you?

Hm? What's that?

I've never seen her.

-No?
-Sorry.

Still no information.

This might be impossible.

It's okay! We'll find her for sure!

Yeah!

I found it! Wrapped in purple!

You can leave that bag,
no, the Makoto Jewel with me!

A Makoto Jewel?

The Phantom Thieves' Guild?!

T-Thieves' guild?

We'll find the bag
with the manga manuscript!

And we won't give it to you!

You're passionate!
So hot you're boiling me up!

But you picked the wrong guy!

I'll take that!

Stop!

Open!

Pre-Kit Light!

I-It got big?

Yeah! A Jett-senpai invention!

We can draw what we want
with the light, and...

It takes shape!

A peanut?

No, a trampoline.

I see!

We'll get your bag back!

Wait up!

What do you think? This is a thief's work.

What about the Makoto Jewel?

Lemme sit down.

Um...

They're all round.

Here's a square!

Is this it?

It's just bread.

You drew a blank.

They were talking about finding a bag
that had a manga manuscript in it.

Hey!

Where are you going?

Newcomers these days!

G-Give it back!

We've got to look for the manuscript!

Gotcha.

I see now.

Whoa!

The Makoto Jewel must be
in the manga manuscript.

What?

Who'll find it first?

It's on, Star Detectives!

MAKOTO MIRAI

Why would a thieves' guild
want my manuscript?

We won't let them have it!

We'll find it first!

Just forget it.

I draw manga because
I want to make everyone smile.

But I don't want my manga
to put you detectives in danger!

We feel the same!

Detectives make people in trouble smile!

So we always gold-star solve our cases!

Leave it to us, the Star Detectives!

Detectives...

Wait for us at the agency!

Let me read your manga once we find it!

Sure!

Where is that woman?

She came this way, right?

Yeah.

By the way, in the bag were apples,
potatoes, onions, bread,

and an apron, right?

Yeah. Maybe it's someone from
a restaurant or a food store?

If it is...

- PORK CUTLET
SETTING UP

- There are way too many restaurants.

- TAKOYAKI

Oh! Curry!

- CURRY HOUSE

- They say apples help
make the flavor smoother!

You have a point!

Hmm... I don't know her.

We thought for sure it was a curry shop.

Maybe a different one?

Oh, I know!

Have you seen this apron before?

Hang on! What's this?

Isn't it a ketchup stain?

Ketchup?

Hmm... Where is it?

Where's that bag with the manuscript?

Hmm... Cure Arcana Shadow, help me look!

I don't need to.

Yeah, she already
knows where it is, right?

Yeah.

W-What did you say?

So what foods use ketchup?

-Pasta!
-Omurice!

-Hamburgers!
-Fries!

You're both wrong!

These potatoes and onions are sprouting,

and the apples aren't fresh.

No restaurant would use these ingredients!

-Huh?
-Then what?

If you're stuck, go back to the beginning.

That's the detective's golden rule.

Yeah! Junichi bumped into her here,
and dropped his bag.

I thought it got dirty when he dropped it,
but it's paved here!

So it is!

WET PAINT!

Pochitan! That's wet paint!

Pochitan!

I hope we can get it off!

You dropped something!

I see!

This is the answer!

-The bag is surely...
-Over there!

ATELIER PLENTY
PAINTING CLASSES

Come in!

It's definitely her!

Oh! My bag!

There's Junichi's bag!

They're identical!

No wonder they got mixed up!

I can't believe you two found me!

The stain on the bag wasn't dirt.

Nor ketchup on the apron.

I got it when I saw
the paint on the handkerchief.

I thought the stains might be paint.

But!

The paper Anna dropped.

- When I saw the flyer, I figured it out!

- ATELIER PLENTY
NOW TAKING NEW STUDENTS!

The stains were paint!

The things in the bag weren't for eating.

They were for painting practice!

You're right! You really figured it out!

We're Star Detectives after all!

You call yourselves Star Detectives!

Hmm? This is a pretty neat manga.

I'll take it! I'm off!

Stop!

They came!

I won't let you escape!

So you caught up to me!

- How did you know the manuscript
was at the painting school?

- JUNJUN KOMATTSU

- It was the bread.

Bread?

Yes, the newcomer figured it out.

Bread can be used like an eraser,
to erase the lines.

You knew just by looking in the bag!
That's my girl!

No biggie.

- JUNJUN KOMATTSU

- Here's a prize for catching up to me.

Lies, envelop!

Come on, Hanninda!

Hanninda!

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, Cure Mystique!

Star Detective Precure!

I'll show you my answer!

Hanninda!

Hanninda!

Kudos!

So this is a Hanninda! Maestro Usonoir
bestowed some incredible powers!

Usonoir?

Oh, yes.

He's the great boss of
the Phantom Thieves' Guild.

Maestro Usonoir!

I'll bring back the Makoto Jewel
for Maestro Usonoir!

So I must eliminate you two!

Hanninda!

Junichi just wants to make people happy.
You can't use his manga like this!

Who cares?

As long as Maestro Usonoir is happy,
that's all that matters!

Hanninda!

Mystique Reflection!

W-What?

Answer Attack!

Hanninda!

Huh... Not bad.

Hanninda!

Hanninda!

Hanninda!

-The manga manuscript!
-And Junichi's smile!

We'll get them both back!

This is our answer!

CUREtto Case Closed!

Hanninda!

Pochi Pochi Cure Cure!

I had fun today, Precures!

Let's meet again!

- CURETTO DETECTIVE AGENCY

Junjun Komattsu?

Oh! Uh, um, Mr. Junjun Komattsu?

You know him?

Yeah! I love his manga!

- SOLVED BY THE CYBORG DETECTIVES!

- You're going to become
a famous manga artist!

Huh? Really? Is that your deduction
as a Star Detective?

It's not a deduction, I just know!

How can I explain...

If he's such an amazing manga artist,
I want to read it too!

Me too!

-I want to read it!
-Hang on! Me first!

I'm first!

This calls for rock, paper, scissors!

Okay! Ready?

Rock, paper, scissors!
