Eternal Power Pretty Cure

Chapter 16「Nature Treasure」

Fuji's POV

And there I was. Standing in the middle of nature preserve's meadow with ease and serenity. I was, of course, surrounded by nature.

In Cure form, my light green ponytail flowed drastically with the breezy wind. I just stood there alone with my eyes calmly closed, comtemplating on my life and everything that has happened.

It was dawn, and the sun was beginning to rise up to the sky and show off its bright and welcoming colors. The morning has come.

I held a leaf close to my lips, lips lightly pressed against the leaf as if I was giving a light kiss. My Precure attire flowed beautifully along with my hair.

That's when suddenly, a stronger breeze starts to pick up, and before I knew it, I find the leaf out of my grasps. I open my eyes and gasp softly as I watch the little green leaf drift away from me. It slowly zooms past me and I turn around, still watching it depart from me.

With a face of awe, I reach out my hand in pursuit of it.

Then everything slowly faded to white.

Third Person POV

~ The next day ~

It was a bright and normal Monday morning at school today. Many students were on campus, either preparing for their classes or talking with their friends.

Natsumi is seen sitting at one of the circular school lunch umbrella tables outside near the cafeteria, staring intently at something. She had her full attention on her cell phone, which was leaning against the pole of the table umbrella.

Face close to her phone screen, she had her eyes fully locked on the time that was displayed on it. Her eyes were narrowed in concentration, and her left eye began to twitch, almost as if she was growing frustrated.

She stared at the time shown on her phone determinedly.

7:53 AM.

Natsumi continued to stare at it with her full attention, and after what felt like an eternity, the time finally went from 7:53 AM to 7:54 AM.

Natsumi let out a loud groan as she raised both of her arms up in the air before slamming her face and arms onto the table, looking unmotivated.

"I swear..." Her complaint sounded muffled through the table.

"Natsumi," Natsumi suddenly hears a familar voice, and turns her head to look into the direction she heard the voice, and spots both Yuki and Karin.

"Good morning." Yuki greeted with serenity.

"O-oh, good morning..." Head still resting on the table, Natsumi tiredly greets back, her cheek pressed against the table.

"You okay, Natsumi-chan?" Karin fretted, tilting her head slightly in curiosity, "Did you not get enough sleep?"

"Nah, I did..." Natsumi replies, "It's just..." She then turns her attention back to her phone, in which the time was still displayed as 7:54 AM, much to Natsumi's dismay, "Why can't time go by fast now? I just want to enjoy my summer already!" Natsumi complained, chin resting on the table.
