CURETTO DETECTIVE AGENCY

Delicious!

This is so good, Kurea!

Thank you!

This is so strange.

I've been here before,

but everything here
makes me feel nostalgic.

How come you forgot
that you were a detective?

Actually, I remembered
something important.

It's true that I was at this agency.

But I...

wasn't a detective.

Huh?

The owner of Princess Albert?

I want you to find our cook.
He went missing two days ago.

IN PREPARATION

The stew at Princess Albert is famous.

The bread is good, too!

Of course you two know so much!

Okay, let's go!

Is this the cook who went missing?

Yes.

Tell us more about this cook.

Okay.

No matter how busy he was,
he always smiled and enjoyed cooking.

That's why I can't believe it.

Hmm.

- MISSING COOK ENJOYED HIS WORK
DISAPPEARED 2 DAYS AGO

- Okay, so it probably wasn't his job
that made him leave.

Two days ago?

- JULY 1999
MONDAY [CLOSED]

- Since today is July 20, it means
he's been missing since Sunday, the 18th.

Yes.

We had a lot of reservations.

Your restaurant is closed
on Mondays, right?

So you're closed because
of his absence starting today?

Yes.

- RESERVATIONS

- He still hasn't contacted me,
so I got worried and came to you.

I see.

May we speak to his coworkers?

Of course.

Did he talk to you about the restaurant,
or any troubles he was having?

Hmm... not really.

By the way, do you get paid
around the 25th?

What?

Yes. You sure know a lot!

The 25th is payday...

I work at a patisserie,
so I figured it would be the same.

He disappeared on the 18th,
so it was before payday.

- Yes. He always spends
too much money dining out.

- GOURMET GUIDE

- Every month he runs out
of money around now.

Did he do anything strange
before he disappeared?

Come to think of it, that night we were
talking about eating the staff meal stew.

But he left without eating it.

Kurea, why did you ask about payday?

Huh?

I also shop after payday,

so I thought it might be relevant.

Oh, okay.

Anyway, the way you investigated
just now was really cool.

You were just like a detective!

Kurea always studies hard!

I'll bet you do!

Is something bothering you?

- PAYDAY IS THE 25TH
LEFT WITHOUT EATING STEW

- Yes, they said he left
without eating the stew...

It's like, "The Adventure
of the Clapham Cook."

What?

I thought so too!

You read Poirot too?

Of course!

Poirot? You mean the detective?

Yes!

The protagonist
of Agatha Christie's books.

Anna! Here's a quiz for you!

SHUSHUTAN!
QUIZ CORNER

- WHAT COUNTRY DID
DETECTIVE POIROT WORK IN?

- What country did
Detective Poirot work in?

Where was it?

Here's a hint. It's a place in Europe
with lots of famous detectives.

What's the answer?

Um...

France, I guess?

The answer is England!

ENGLAND

Oh, England.

You two are studying so much.

I really admire you both!

Is the Poirot story related
to our missing cook somehow?

Yes. A cook goes missing in
"The Adventure of the Clapham Cook" too!

Poirot investigates
and finds something strange.

The clue is stewed peaches!

And it was related to someone
living in the cook's boarding house!

Sounds interesting! Then what happens?

That's all for now!

Read the book if you want to know.

The cook's lodgings may have a hint
for us in this investigation, too.

Yeah! I got the address from the owner.

Kurea! It's your first case
so give it your all!

Yeah! I'll do my best!

Your first case?

Earlier you said you were at the agency
but you weren't a detective.

Yes, that's true.

Luluka personally accepted me
as her assistant.

So I wasn't an official detective.

Today's her first case without Luluka.

So that's why the London office didn't
know about you when Jett-senpai asked.

Yes.

That means you two have seniority over me!

So you don't need to speak politely to me.

What? But...

Yes ma'am.

That's too polite!

I was this close
to enveloping the world in lies!

Squish, squish!

Stop it.

Even so!

I can't believe you
don't remember a thing!

You did take things pretty far!

The prediction isn't wrong.

Maybe it was using the old calendar.

That means we still have a month to go!

I keep telling them
the prediction was wrong...

Hurry up and steal me a Makoto Jewel!

Don't worry! Nijee has gone to get one!

So this is where the cook lives.

Yeah!

The cook's room is...

Is that...

The cook!

Oof!

Excuse me!

You're the cook from
Princess Albert, aren't you?

Yes. But who are you?

CURETTO DETECTIVE AGENCY

We were hired by the owner to find you.

Whoa! Just for skipping work?

Where have you been since the 18th?

I got sick of working.

So I wanted to take a trip.

Oh, so that's what happened.

Alright, bye.

What's wrong?

It sparkled!

You there!

You're not the real cook!

Huh? What proof do you have
that I'm a fake?

All right.

I'll prove it to you now.

Just now, you mentioned going on a trip.

Yes, that's why I'm in a hurry.

That's odd.

You picked up the large suitcase
like it weighed nothing.

What about that?

I think it must be empty.

If you've come back home to go on a trip,

that would be very strange.

That's none of your business!

Plus, you always run out of money,
but you're traveling?

That's a big assumption.

I heard your payday is on the 25th.

Today is the 20th. Seems like
you're rushing this holiday a bit.

I'm not rushing...

You disappeared once, and two days later
you're back for your suitcase?

Why?

There's one answer
for all these questions.

You're a fake!

Remarkable work.

Baby!

Nijee!

I'll ask again.

Why did you come to get it two days later?

The reason...

Two days ago I disguised myself as
the cook's coworker, told him some lie,

and sent him far away.

Then I just had to go to his lodging
to get the Makoto Jewel.

But I was interrupted so I couldn't
get it in time for the promised day.

So that's what happened.

You can't have the Makoto Jewel!

Lies, envelop!

Come forth, Hanninda!

Hanninda!

Hanninda!

-Anna!
-Yeah!

Pochi Pochi Cure Cure!

The show's over for today.

What's my suitcase doing out here?

Excuse me!

Whoa, what?

You're the real cook.

Huh?

Oh man, to think I was taken in
by his smooth talk.

Try to be more responsible!

Well, that's that!

Why did you lose your memory?

It must be because I lost
the Makoto Jewel that was in my heart.

The Makoto Jewel is a Crystal of Truth.

A Crystal of Truth?

Especially the Makoto Jewel
for becoming a Precure.

It becomes a crystal storing all
your experiences as a detective!

I lost that Makoto Jewel.

That's why she lost her memory.

The Makoto Jewel came back.

So you could transform into a Precure!

Yes... but back then
I couldn't transform into a Precure.

That's why Luluka did it alone...

What?

She tried to stop Usonoir from
stealing the Makoto Jewel.

But she couldn't stand up to him.

Luluka...

Huh?

A new Precure?

After that, Luluka said she'd get Kurea's
Makoto Jewel back, and disappeared.

Why...

I don't know...

But you became a Precure!

Thanks for always watching over me!

Then how did I become
a Star Detective Precure?

What do you mean?

If your own experience
builds up your Makoto Jewel,

I didn't have any experience,
but I suddenly transformed into a Precure.

I'm sure it's because
you're the miraculous duo, no?

It's ready!

A Pre-Kit Book!

Here!

I'm glad! I've always wanted one!

-Way to go, Kurea!
-You've gotta draw a heart!
