Chika: ~Heh~Heh~ What a good day of shopping. I got a ton of things for a family dinner tonight.
Chika: Not only that, Ruby's friends are coming to visit this evening. I can't wait to meet them, and see how grown Ruby is. Maybe know more about magic since she told me they are somewhat magical-
Taio: Who are you? Show yourself!
A voice boomed in the distance, interrupting Chika's carefree route she looked and saw a medium-skinned boy looking aggressively at the ironically calm waves. The salty wind flew towards him as he stared at the horizon. Chika had sawn something familiar before and wondered if this was just déjà vu.
Chika: (It's only the start of summer, and the water is warm. But I had never seen someone out at sea during this hour. Is he a professional swimmer? I don't think so, he had no swimsuit on. The last time I saw someone on the dock like that was Riko.)
Minutes after her wonder she saw the figure running towards the water at full speed.
Chika: Ah! Wait!
Meanwhile, Taio had been listening attentively to the sea around him. Trying to register the voice as "Butler", he knew that a butler does not act that way.
"Butler": Let me ask you this one time. Where is Cure La Mer?
Taio: I'll do you one better. Who is Cure La Mer?
"Butler": So you don't know? She and her Tropical Club are chosen to protect its Motivational power in their home realm but time froze there. No one knows where the rest went but I saw the last cure flee with something on her arm. I'm left with no other choice. Tell me where she is and maybe I could thank you for the help.
Taio: Motivational power? Tropical club? Never heard of it. And to tell you the truth, I had no clue where she is. You sound suspicious so I'm not telling you more. I dunno what your goal for that is but whatever it is, it's gonna cause harm. So leave.
"Butler": And what if I don't?
Taio: ...
"Butler": You're not telling me there are also Pretty Cures in your realm, do you?
Taio: If you insist, why not I show you instead of telling you?
He unbuttoned his polo shirt to reveal the memory stone underneath. It was glowing with fury in his eyes as he aimed at the sea below. His only thoughts were to dive and fight whoever is in there. He clutched his own necklace for a while and let go as he sprinted across the dock.
Taio: Feel my true power! Let's play! Pretty Cure-
When he was a few steps away from the dock, he felt a pair of arms wrapped around his waist, struggling to keep him from running followed by a high-pitched voice of worry.
Chika: Stop it!
Taio: What are you doing?! Let go of me!
Chika: You can't jump in there! You're going to be sick!
Taio: I said let go-
At that moment, Chika ironically kicked his leg and sent them off flying, before they knew it, they went headfirst to the sea below.
