[What's Yayoi doing today? Currently she's unaware that her journal is filming this as she transforms off-screen. It's showing her bedroom as she's giggling to herself. Its experiment time!

Something had made her wonder about the doujins that she had read recently, how magical girls who transform could remove their uniforms. So, standing in front of the mirror as Cure Peace, she started to disrobe.

Or at least tried to. It was like everything was superglued on and she wrestled with her outfit for several minutes.]

Gah! Okay, lets try this then!

[Hopping on one foot, she tried to peel her boot off with no success.] C'mon, c'mon!

[After that she tried removing her top. And then her skirt. No dice. She even tried removing her hair accessories and letting her hair down. With a frustrated groan, she flopped backwards onto the bed.]

I give, I give! Clearly this is body-armor. Not clothing. No matter how nice of a uniform it feels.

[Breathing heavily, Cure Peace is just going to pout as she gathers a pillow in her hands.] Not fair. I was hoping I was able to remove my outfit so I could stealth around as Cure Peace, and not Yayoi...

That's very interesting... so if you're legendary warriors and a book is being filled out about you, does that mean that there are books for previous Precure as well?

Ah, I really don't know a lot about the other teams. I'm a bit curious about this Marchenland you mentioned, but first I have to ask who this Pop is. Is he a fairy?

Hmm you know? I never thought about that! I'd think we'd have to visit Marchenland to check it out though, or ask Pop first.

Pop's a fairy. He's a cool lion fairy, and Candy's like a lamb. Although he gets really embarrassed if you call him cool! He insists he's a manly man too.

I'd definitely be interested in whatever you can find. Marchenland is what you defend then, I take it?

A lion fairy, hm? [Yuri's... not sure what the Heartcatch fairies are supposed to be, actually.] That certainly sounds impressive. I'm having difficulty imagining any fairy as a manly man, though.

That's where apparently our power comes from. The Royal Queen's power was sundered in the fight against Pierrot and we use her Cure Decor in our battles.

[Considering they're kind of rabbit-like but not... well...] I think I have a drawing of him. Hold on a moment!

[Yayoi digs into her drawings and holds up a picture of Pop standing atop a rock in the middle of a crashing ocean, dressed in a old Kyoto-style hakama with a sword with lightning flashing in the background.]

This is Pop. Or at least what he imagines himself when he proclaims "A manly man is not cute!"

What's the Cure Decor, then? Is that what you use to transform, or something else?

[Yuri chuckles when she sees the drawing] I do have to say that he's kind of cute. Just don't let him know I said that.

The Cure Decor are little items, fragments of the Queen's power made into something. Miyuki keeps most of them in the Decor Decor but we also have our Precure Decor which allows us to transform when placed into the Smile Pact.

Heheh I won't, but he's both cool and cute at the same time!

I see. That's kind of comparable to Heart Seeds. They're what you get when you purify a Desertrian and each one heals the Heart Tree a little more. They each have special properties as well.

He is. [Yuri's smile gets a bit more sad and the next part is spoken in a very quiet whisper] He reminds me a bit of someone...

Yeah, the Cure Decor were obtained by the Bad End Kingdom and turned into Noses, which are used to make Akanbe. So it's no surprise that we get one when we purify them.

Well, except for Blue Noses. Apparently they're weaker than a normal Akanbe but they're immune to our baseline attacks.

... Yuri? [Fortunately, Yayoi hadn't stopped to watch Heartcatch or she'd know what Yuri was talking about.]

That's different from here. All Desertrians are the same type. The only thing that can influence their power is what object was used to make one. Is an Akanbe made by fusing one of those Noses together with an object as well?

[Yuri startles for a moment. She hadn't realized she was speaking out loud.] It's... it's nothing.

Yes it was. The first Akanbe I faced was when Aka Oni fused my drawing with a Red Nose. So far, there's two types of noses we've faced; Red which have Cure Decor, and Blue which are weaker but like I said, are immune to anything less than a Rainbow Healing attack.

Ah, okay...

I see. That's a complex system. Fusing objects to the monster is the same, but Desertrians aren't made from Noses or anything like that. Rather, the Heart Flowers of people are used.

Sorry, it's just... I was reminded about someo... something from the past. It's nothing important, really.

I think it's mostly the way that the opponents escalate the fight to be honest. When we proved to be able to take out Red Noses in one hit, they came out with Blue. In response, we developed Rainbow Healing. Etc.

It's okay, I won't pry.

Well, that's good, though. It means you can keep up with your enemies, rather than being overwhelmed by them.

Thank you.

Yeah. We usually manage to develop some kind of response to their advanced skills.

No problem.

It pays to be creative. I only had a few skills myself. Mostly the standard, though, nothing like what you're talking about.

I have to admit though, it was lucky that we got Rainbow Healing. We were in a big bind and if it weren't for Candy giving us power, we wouldn't have been able to perform it.

That really is lucky. Your fairy must be very powerful if they made that possible.

Candy wanted to fight with us, so she made it happen.

[Yuri's a bit hesitant before she responds. She doesn't like it when fairies try to fight themselves.]

That's... admirable of her. I'm glad she was able to find a way to help in her own way.

[Considering what happened, yeah.]

Thanks. I'll be sure to tell her she did a good job later.

Hm, be sure to do that. And make sure you keep an eye on her whenever you fight.

We will, I promise.
