Our School Trip: The Bug-Catching Contest!
ぜんいんの修学旅行: 虫取りコンテスト!
Zenin no Shuugakuryokou: Mushi-tori Kontesuto!

Alright, day 2 of our sparkly-cool Tokyo field trip! Wonder what else we're gonna do here...

"Check it!" Kazemi shows the others a poster. "The fifth annual Tokyo bug-catching contest is today! I really wanna enter...!"

"Kazemi-chan," says Chise. "Do you know when registration starts?"

"Not sure. Lemme read it again..." As Kazemi reads, her eyes widen. "Ten minutes?! I gotta get there so I'm not late!" She runs off, her speed power coming in handy. "Registration, here I come!"

Chise, Homura, and Azuma look at each other and giggle. "That's Ka-san alright." The latter two start running with Chise, once again, right behind them. "H-Hey! Not again...!!"

(Opening theme)

(Title card: Kazemi holds a diamond-shaped emerald in both hands. It glows bright green and fills the screen as she lets go. Chibis of her as a Cure and Warun appear, and between them appears the episode title. "Our School Trip: The Bug-Catching Contest!")

The girls make it to the registration spot.

"Alright!" Kazemi grabs a pen from her pocket and signs her name in green ink. "Oozora...Kazemi...Alright, there! This contest is gonna be a blast!"

"Not for you, it won't." To see where the voice came from, Kazemi turns around, seeing a girl with slightly tanned skin, hazelnut brown eyes, and long light brown hair in a ponytail with fluffy bangs.

Kazemi raises an eyebrow. "What the...What do you mean? And just who are you anyway?"

"Hoshishima Iroha. I happen to be one of Tokyo's best bug catchers!" The girl smirks. "And I'm sure you won't last very long in this contest, because like I said, I'm the best and you're not."

Kazemi is enraged. "You'll never get away with insulting me the way you did! I'm gonna do my very best in this contest!"

"Heh.. Good luck with that." Iroha walks off.

Kazemi balls up her fist. "She's got the nerve to tell me I won't last long in the contest... Ugh! It's like she wants me to lose or something!"

Chise walks up to her. "It'll be fine, Kazemi-chan. All you need to worry about is the bugs you're gonna catch! I think the poster said 'the first to catch 100 bugs wins the contest'..."

That seems to calm her down. "You're right, Chise. I really can't let Little Miss 'thinks she's one of the best bug-catchers in Tokyo' get to my head!"

That's when she realizes... "Oh crap! I forgot my bug net at the hotel!"

She leaves and runs to the hotel, where she gets her bag, then returns. "And...got it!"

"That was fast," says Azuma. "Wait! You have super speed, don't you?"

Kazemi has a moment of realization. "Azuzu... You're right! I must have that power outside of being a Pretty Cure!"

"That makes two of us! You must've been born from a gem just like us! That's why you have those powers!"

"Wow..." Kazemi turns to Chise and Homura. "Do you have powers, too?"

Homura nods. "I mean, Chise and I were born from gems, but I don't think we have 'em, so...sorry!"

"That's alright!" Kazemi looks at the sky. "I'd like to learn more about my powers..."
