Shiruku's Resolve

The Tome of Mirages
is indicating a new Makoto Jewel.

"Voice of a performing star.

Sparkling stone in the ear that hears it."

Sparkling stone in the ear?

Oh, an earring.

Voice of a performing star?

Performing... a star.

Shiruku Ieiri's earring.

Arcana Shadow, you're up.

Lie lie, sir.

-Lie lie, sir!
-Lie lie, sir!

Leave it to me! I'll lend a hand!

Alright, let's go!

- YOSHINO SAKURA, SHIRUKU IEIRI
THE COMEDY OF S

- Wow, amazing!

Miss Shiruku's really popular!

I bet Jett-senpai wanted to come.

You go ahead, I'll watch the shop.

There you are!

Long time no see!

Miss Shiruku's manager?

Shiruku's waiting in her dressing room.

TONIGHT, AT 7 P.M.

Stretch out your arm.

Now the other one.

Elegantly turn.

Smile!

Come in!

-Miss Shiruku!
-It's been ages!

Anna, Mikuru! Thanks for coming!

You don't mind, before the show?

I need some help from you detectives.

- TONIGHT, AT 7 P.M.
I'LL STEAL SHIRUKU IEIRI'S EARRING

- A calling card from
the Phantom Thieves' Guild?

- I came back from
rehearsal and it was there.

PHANTOM THIEVES' GUILD

"Tonight, at 7 p.m.,
I'll steal Shiruku Ieiri's earring.

Phantom Thieves' Guild."

It's not particularly valuable.

But...

To me, it's an earring
that holds special memories.

I wore it to my debut audition.

I wear it to remember how I felt that day.

I always wear it during important shows.

How could they target
such an important earring?

Unacceptable!

The time on the card, 7 p.m.,
is when the show starts.

If it gets out of hand, it could have
a bad impact on the play.

So I wanted to ask you...

Leave it to us!

We'll protect your earring from them!

Detectives...

Thank you!

Everyone seems so busy.

We have one hour until seven!

The card was left
while Miss Shiruku was in rehearsal.

Which means...

The Phantom Thief
is still at the venue.

They might be disguised as someone.

Let's split up and investigate!

I'll talk to the audience!

I'll talk to the staff.

Time to investigate!

I'm sure Shiruku will wear
the earring on stage.

What's the strategy?

That's easy!

We jump onstage and take it!

That's not stylish at all!

What will you do, Luluka?

I've chosen my role.

- THE COMEDY OF S

- I'm getting nervous!

- You're not even in the show!

But it's Shiruku's show!

It's time for Shiruku Exercise No. 1!

Stretch out your arm.

Now the other one.

Elegantly turn!

Ouch!

I'm sorry! Huh? Anna?

Rie? Yumi?

- YOSHINO SAKURA, SHIRUKU IEIRI
THE COMEDY OF S

- Your third time?

We're going to all the shows!

Then you know it well!

I guess!

- The Comedy of S!

- THE COMEDY OF S

- It's a play with just two characters!
Shiruku and famous actress Yoshino Sakura!

She's beautiful!

Shiruku plays Kinue,

who grows through her connection
with Esther, played by Sakura.

The best part is when Esther
traps Kinue, and accuses her of theft!

But then!

Kinue turns it around
with super sleuthing!

So cool!

Super sleuthing, hey?

We've got to try our best!

Pochi!

Pochi?

Did you hear something?

Uh, see you later!

How will they steal it at showtime?

I know!

Take that to storage!

Excuse me!

Yes?

Is Yoshino Sakura--

Oh sorry. Don't put it in there!

I don't have time to talk!

Really sorry!

I wanted to talk to Ms. Sakura,
but I won't even meet her at this rate!

Where's the makeup artist?

She's on her break.

Huh? It's time for Ms. Sakura's makeup!

Alright!

Open!

Pre-Kit Gloss!

Makeup Artist!

All these makeup tools are so cute!

Now I can investigate!

There she is! Miss!

-Where have you been?
-Huh?

Ms. Sakura's waiting!

Huh...

- Doesn't this smell nice?

- POPULAR ACTRESS
YOSHINO SAKURA

- It's really popular lately!

What a shock!

But I'm in Ms. Sakura's dressing room!

I'll get started.

Please do!

Is it tough being an actress?

Yes.

But I enjoy transforming
into different people.

Transforming?

Yes, I'm performing even now.

In the role of Yoshino Sakura.

You're a Phantom Thief!

Ph--

Phantom?

Huh?

You said you'd transformed
into Ms. Sakura.

No?

Sorry I'm late!

Who are you?

She's saying strange things!

I'm sorry, I was mistaken!

What is it, Pochitan?

Luluka?

She's gone.

We have to tell Miss Shiruku!

Anna!

Mikuru?

Pretty cool, huh?

I love it!

No, listen! I saw Luluka!

-What?!
-I think Luluka left the calling card!

We have to tell Miss Shiruku!

Wait, wait!

Shiruku!

Anna?

The thief's already in the theater.

It'd be bad if they disturb the play.

So let me take the earring for you.

No.

Huh?

Your acting isn't good enough.

Actors are always observing people
so they can depict others.

"It'd be bad if they disturb the play."

I know Anna.

No matter the disturbance,
she'd protect me.

I know she'd say that.

Plus, Anna always calls me Miss Shiruku,
no matter how flustered she is.

Too bad. You got me.

So you're a Phantom Thief.

It's almost showtime.

Now what?

Take it.

I won't let anyone ruin the play!

Don't mind if I do.

Wow. I thought it was a precious charm
full of memories.

Don't make assumptions!

My most precious thing is my audience,
waiting for me to go on stage.

And the new memories
I make with my audience!

You're Shiruku Ieiri, performing star.
Just as expected.

I'll go on stage now,
where everyone is waiting.

Miss Shiruku!

I'll leave the rest to you, detectives.

We're out of here, too!

The actors are all here.

You can't go!

No matter what!

We'll protect her!

It's our time too.

Yeah, showtime!

We'll honor Miss Shiruku's feelings!

You can't have the earring!

What do I care?
I'm a fiercely loyal man, myself!

Lies, envelop!

Come on, Hanninda!

Hanninda!

-Mikuru!
-Yeah!

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!

The curtain's rising on this fight!

Mashutan.

Open.

Tear Arcana Rod!

Shuffle!

Reverse!

Enveloping all in mystery and secrets,
Cure Arcana Shadow!

Now then, welcome to the labyrinth.

Hanninda!

So slow.

It's my turn!

Now.

What will you do?

So it was a trap!

It's all over for you.

You'll lose everything.
Your love, your dreams.

You can't take anything from me!

Corner them, Hanninda!

Han!

Ninda!

Precures down!

Surrendering already?

Arcana Shadow!

You were at the detective agency
with Cure Eclair!

Weren't you?

Is that your answer?

Tell me! Where is Cure Eclair?

Searching is futile.

You will never find her.

Got it?

Give up on the Makoto Jewel, too.

We won't give up!

We'll protect Shiruku's memories!

Memories?

Imagine protecting something with no form!

It's futile.

It's not futile!

Because they have no form,
memories can't be stolen by anyone!

If...

one were to forget everything.

If one were to lose their memory.

Memories would have no meaning.

Lose their memory?

Yes.

The Cure Eclair you're looking for

doesn't remember.

There's no point in looking for her.

Give up.

Even so, I still believe!

No matter who suspects me.

Even if I lose everything.

Even if I stop being me!

As long as my friends believe in me,
I won't be afraid!

They'll protect my truth!

Won't they?

We promised to protect her!

She trusts us!

We'll get the Makoto Jewel back!

Han! Ninda!

Mystique Reflection!

Ha, han!

Now!

Open!

Pre-Kit Mirror Loupe!

Pochitan!

Makoto Jewel!

Look!

Feel!

Solve the mystery!

This is our answer!

Precure! Flying Spectrum!

CUREtto Case Closed!

Hanninda!

Pochi Pochi Cure Cure!

Excellent! That was a good show!

It's time for the curtains to close.

Wait up!

Arcana Shadow!

It's over.

The show is over, too.

Thank you.

Truly!

I'm so glad!

I was actually really worried!

But the play is more important
than anything to me.

That's because I can make
new memories with the audience.

New memories?

You believed in us,
so we were able to fight.

Me too! I was able to perform
because I believed in you.

Miss Shiruku...

You two are very special friends to me!

Aw, we wanted to see the show.

-Come to the next one!
-Really?!

Let's make new memories together!

Okay!

THE COMEDY OF S

Eclair has lost her memory?

Luluka even left a calling card
when she targeted Miss Shiruku's earring.

Was she trying to recover her lost memory?

If!

If that's true?

Shiruku is...

Eclair?
