Chapter 005
Foolish Sibling, Responsibe Sibling
Weekend come, and the finally opened coffee shop Naissance was busy. Unexpectedly, Banjou Ryuuga, actually manage to work in servicing the customer with a smile, and this made the cafe bustling with a female customer. Of course, there are few males too, mostly because the three girls wore cute cafe uniform to serve them. But Kiryuu Sento was having fun kicking out a rude customer with a smile, and since this is the opening day, there was a lot of such customers, so the teacher has become papa wolf.
The cafe was calmed down in the noon, and the girls finally managed to rest while playing with Hagu-tan. Hagu-tan seems enjoyed being carried by Banjou while he made a coffee.
"I think this girl liked the smell of coffee," Banjo commented.
"Or he just enjoyed being with you," Harry commented, "Nee~ Hagu-tan~."
"Haguu!" the baby smiled brightly, and that smile melted the girls.
"But I would never expect Banjou actually manage to open a cafe," Kiryu said with a tired smile, "I guess you aren't as stupid as I thought."
"How stupid Am I in your mind, Sentou?" Kiryuu faked anger, "Well, Even I will never think I can follow complicated instruction like making coffee."
"Now that I think about it, why are you opened coffee, Banjo?" Homare asked, "You said you are ex-boxer, right?"
"Ah? You remember that?" Banjo makes a smile faint, "Well, it was more of nostalgia sake. You see after everything bad happened in my life, my lowest point, this guy here helped me and brought me to a coffee shop. The owner made an awful coffee and it has no customer. But that was the second place I can feel like a home."
"Sensei worked in a cafe?" Hana asked, "Can't imagine that."
"Nah, I am not working there," Sento smiled, "That cafe name was Nacista, it was Italian for 'Birth.' That's why I named this cafe Naissance."
"Well, At first I thought to name this 'Amazing muscle cafe,' but this guy rejected them," Banjou laughed.
Harry looked at the two men and three girls talking happily. He remembered his own time when he was still living with the orphans fairy. Now that he lost them to Criasu Company, is it all right for him to make a new bond with them?
"Harry...? You okay?" Sentou asked.
"Hmm...Oh, I am okay," Harry answered.
"Ah, Since we aren't that busy, could I ask you to buy some flower?" Banjo suddenly said, "Some customer made a suggestion to do that and you can have the change for a snack."
"Moo! Do you think we are children?" Hana pouted.
Sento popped Hana's pout with his finger and smiled, "Well, you are still a child," and laughed.
The other two girls and one baby were also laughing.
Hanasaki Flower Shop was looked old, but with a lot of fresh flowers around, didn't feel rundown. It was a simple shop in the shop district besides a fashion shop called Fairy Drop. Besides the three girls, Harry and Hagu-tan were also with them. They were admiring flower displayed outside the shop when suddenly a young woman with circular glasses and long hair tied in tails running out of the shop.
"Call me if something happens, okay, Fu-chan!" the girl said, "Ah, Welcome in Hanasaki Flower Shop, sorry I am in a hurry so my little sisters will attend you," and after speaking to her customer like that she ran out of the shop.
Upon entering the shop, they were greeted with a girl their age and another young woman with blue hair sat on the counter.
"Welcome in Hanasaki Flower Shop!" those two girls greeted, one louder than the other.
"Do you seek a flower for marriage? or maybe a funeral? Hanasaki flower shop have flowers for every occasion!" the older one speak with machine gun talk.
"Erika-nee! you will scare our customer like that!" the younger one protested, "Ah, sorry, Erika-nee always excited like that. My Name is Futaba, what can I help you with."
"Ah, it's all right," Saaya answered, "We just opened a coffee shop and the owner thought to add some flower for decoration, I wonder if you can help."
"Well, we have no knowledge about flower so I hoped you can help us," Homare added.
"Haguu~" the baby added.
"Woah! this baby is cute!" suddenly the older one, Erika, jumped from the counter and approaching Hagu-tan in Harry's baby carrier, "I remember when I playing with Futaba's cheek when she is this old. Hahaha, I wonder since when she becomes this cheeky brat."
"Erika-nee! Don't talk about when I was baby!" Futaba protested, "And I am not cheeky!"
"You must be getting along well with your older sister," Hana said while watching Erika playing with Hagu-tan.
"Ah, She isn't my older sister," Futaba answered, "Onee-chan is the girl who just ran out of the shop in hurry. you see her, right?"
"Ah? That cool lady?" Hana asked, surprised.
Her first impression of that lady was a cool lady with good and adult sense of fashion. But hearing Hana's word, Erika laughed.
"If you know here when she is your age, you will be surprised. She is always shy and clumsy but trying to look mature and strong." Erika commented, "Well, it was thanks to me that girl become 'cool lady' as you said. She is still clumsy at times, though."
"Sounds like someone I know," Homare commented while Saaya nodded.
Erika looked at Hana and then smiled.
"So, about the flower," Harry reminded the girls.
"Ah, I think Daffodil is a good choice," Futaba answered, "I think we have some in stock."
"Non! Non!" Erika shook her head, "Daffodil also mean 'uncertainty', so it didn't fit for a shop."
"Ah, sorry!" Futaba bowed in panic.
Erika sighed and then opened a small notebook, "Tsubomi, her older sister, liked to talk about flower language so some of them stuck on my head. Let see..." She flipped her book and then stopped in one page, "Ah here we are! Plumeria, it symbolizes springtime, a new beginning. I don't know how it looks like though."
"Ah, I know, I think..." and then Futaba disappeared to the back shop.
"She is hardworking," Harry commented.
"Well, she isn't my sister, but she grew up together with me so I am proud of her," Erika said, "Too bad Tsubomi always busy though. Working in JAXA is time-consuming sometimes."
"JAXA?" Hana suddenly asked, excited, "Is she an astronaut? I wonder if we can learn something about an astronaut from her!"
"No, No," Erika shook her head, "She is a scientist. She has a dream to plan a lot of flowers in the space," Erika said with a smile, "I think she gets closer to her dream. I just hoped she has time for me and Futaba."
"I am fine, Erika-nee," Futaba appeared again with flowers in hand, "I will be happy too if Onee-chan manages to reach her dream."
"Well, you can ask your sister to come to our cafe," Saaya said, "we will give you a discount."
Erika suddenly smiled widely as if she got idea that other people didn't enjoy.
"please wait a bit, you girls, Can I ask your help?" Erika asked.
"Sure, we will be glad," Hana answered, "What can we help with?"
"I have a bit job to do back at Fairy drop, but I am worried leaving Fu-chan alone," Erika answered, "Could you accompany her a bit?"
"I can take care of the shop by myself, Erika-nee!" Futaba protested.
"Why not?" Hana smiled widely, "We will be happy to, right Homare-chan? Saaya-chan?"
"Then, I will deliver the flower to the cafe first," Harry said.
"Be careful you girls~" Erika also leaving the shop following Harry.
"Wait a minute, Erika-nee!" Futaba called out, but Erika just giving a smile, a smile that said Erika have something planned.
"please take care of us, Futaba-chan," Saaya bowed politely, which make Futaba took a step back.
"Uh, yes, sure, you too," she said with sweat dropped from her shiny forehead.
Instead of just accompanying Futaba, The girls also helped to tend the flower shop with Futaba giving a clear order of what to do. Moving vases and tending a flower. Futaba also teaches the girls about flower and when she talks about them, the short haired girl sounds a lot like Erika with her machine gun talk.
"The flower is a living being," Futaba said with a smile, "They should be handled with affection. If we do, they are sure to give us a smile."
"You loved a flower a lot, aren't you Futaba-san," Homare commented.
"Uh...not that much," she suddenly switched back to her shy persona.
Hana also noticed this. Apparently Futaba actually a shy girl like her older sister. Erika probably see a chance to get rid of her shyness with their presence? no way!
"Ah, this flower looked beautiful," suddenly a man entered the shop while looking at a red rain flower, "Can I buy this for my girlfriend?"
"Ah, Red Rainflower means True love," Futaba said in a low voiced, but Saaya pushed the girl toward the customer and give a warm smile. She nodded and then said in louder voices, "Red Rainflower means true love, I am sure your girlfriend will be happy receiving this."
"Ah, yes," The man nodded, "I will buy this then," and smiled brightly.
Homare who sat behind cashier machine quickly attend the man with payments. Futaba then looked at Saaya and bowed her head with a red face.
"Thank you," she whispered.
A few more customers later, They sat on the chair while drank an iced tea. Futaba was grateful for the girls help and she also happy that she gained a new friend's thanks to Erika. But Futaba can't help but think that her sister should be here with her.
"What do you thinking about, Futaba-chan?" Hana asked.
"Ah, it's nothing," she said with a small smile.
Hana, Homare and Saaya know Futaba was lying. Looking at Futaba, she was clearly sad and lonely at times. But she concealed her sadness with a smile. She was also looked outside a few times. Erika was probably right that her older sister should be with Futaba more, but they didn't know what to say about that.
"Futaba-chan?" Hana suddenly said while pocketing her cellphone, "After this, how about we play at our cafe?" she asked.
"Eh, I don't think its good idea to leave the shop alone," Futaba answered.
"Don't worry, I am sure Erika-san will be happy to change with you," Saaya said, "You deserve a break after today hard work."
But before Futaba give her affirmation, a weird woman suddenly entered the shop. She wore a heavy make up with purple highlights on her hair. She gives a sinister smile.
"The sad florist will make for these poor flowers, you know," the woman said, "But this Toge-power, I can use it."
"Who are you!" Homare feels a sinister power from that woman and quickly shielding her friends. But She wasn't alone. Hana also stood along with Saaya to protect their new friends.
"You, you are Precure aren't you?" the woman suddenly asked, "I read your files and you are a thorn on our side. So I think I will do my job while getting rid of you."
"Precure?" Futaba asked with a confused tone.
"You, You are Criasu company!" Hana asked.
"CORRECT~" the woman took out a hand fan and then opened them, "My name is Papple and you can't stop me!" The woman took step back and then out of nowhere a disco lamp appeared, "GoGo! Flap! Flap! Hope for tomorrow! DISAPPEAR! NEGATIVE WAVE!"
Suddenly a Togepower gathered around Futaba's body and the thirteen years old girl feels her body weakened and her breath getting heavier. Futaba looked at one other flower around her, a thorny rose. for a few seconds, she remembered her older sister put a bandaid on Futaba's hand after she got hurt touching Rose's thorn. That memories, along with a hope that she will meet her sister again, suddenly disappeared and then Futaba fainted.
"REQUISITION! OSHIMAIDAA!"
and soon that hope become giant Rose Oshimaida.
Along with the Oshimaida's appearance, The necklace in the girl's neck was blinking. Sento explained when he gave the necklace to Homare that when one of the beads on their necklace was blinking, it means the Oshimada was near and it can tell them where the Oshimaida was. But there is no need for using that feature now since the Oshimaida was in front of them. Along with Oshimaida's appearance, the sky was darkening and become monochrome, the sign that usually also appeared when Oshimaida was created.
"Girls, Let's go!" Hana said, took out her Preheart, the two girls beside her followed.
"Mirai Crystal!"
They put the Mirai Crystal in their Preheart and then change its form to heart-shaped. The girl then shook the Preheart.
"MY HEART! LET IT SHINE!"
Their clothes were turned into light and then changed to the Precure Dress. Along with the change in their clothes, their hair also grown longer and then turned into brighter colour, bright pink for Hana, sky blue for Saaya and goldern for Homare. The three of them then took a pose and announced their catchphrase.
"Embrace your shining future!" Hana announced, "Cheer on the world Precure of spirit! Cure yell!"
"Embrace your shining future!" Saaya announced, "Heal the world! Cure of wisdom, Cure Ange!"
"Embrace your shining future!" Homare announced, "Light up the world! the cure of Strength! Cure Etoile!"
The woman smiled, and then changed her expression quickly into a shock.
"Wait, there are three of you?" Papple asked in confirmation.
"Well, as you see," Homare answered, "I am just become Precure yesterday."
"Curse you, Precure! growing like a weed!" Papple jumped back out of the shop and then called the giant rose Oshimaida, "Get them, Oshimaida!"
"OSHIMAIDA!"
The Oshimaida was quick, sending a lot of thorn towards the Precures. The three of them dodged the attack quickly but when they landed, a vine was launched from the Oshimaida.
"Hurray! Hurray! Heart Feather!"
A blue heart-shaped shield appeared in front of Ange and the attack was repelled. This followed by Hana who punched the flower face of Oshimaida.
"OSHIMADA!"
The Oshimaida took a step back, but before it can retaliate, Etoile landed beside it and then took out her Preheart.
"Hurray! Hurray! Heart Star!"
A star gathered around Etoile and then forming into a light rope. She then throws that rope into the Rose Oshimaida and then tied its large body with the light rope. Hana then landed in front of the Oshimaida and then took out her Preheart, but before she can do anything, the monster suddenly spinning its body and destroyed Etoile's rope. Not only that, a thorn was launched from its body to the surrounding area and some of them manage to destroy a few buildings. The cures manage to dodge all the thorn but soon found themselves hit by the said Thorn.
"HAHAHAHAHA! even if you three or five people! my Oshimaida is stronger than Charalit's," Papple voice announced proudly, "I have a higher rank than him, after all!"
After finished her gloating, a motorcycle suddenly landed in front of Yell and a man who rides them took off his helmet.
"I thought you can defeat them without my help," the man said with a smile, "Well, it was a teacher's job to help his student."
It was their handsome and brilliant physic teacher Sento Kiryu. He looked at the monster.
"Woah, big!" He commented, "Why are Oshimaida so big? is Criasu company compensating for something?"
"Sensei!" Yell shout happily.
"Wait, Who are you!" Papple sound enraged by Sentou's presence, "There is no way a human can enter Oshimaida's Barrier!"
"Bold of you assuming I am a normal human!" the teacher smiled, "I am not a mere Normal human. I am the handsome and brilliant physic teacher Kiryuu Sento! and YOU!" Sento took out his Build Driver and pointing at Oshimaida, "you just hurt my student and now I will perform an experiment on you!"
The teacher then put the Build Driver on his hip. Then, He took out two full bottles, one is blue and the other is red. He shook them and then smiled brightly while difficult equation and physic formula appeared out of nowhere and surrounding him. and When he put them on the Build Driver, the Build Driver announced,
"Rabbit! Tank! BEST MATCH!"
"Wow, It has been a long time," Sentou said with a glee, "Now! BEST MATCH INCOMING!" and then he spins the handle on the Build Driver. Along with a sound of techno-rock music, a frame appeared to form an armour. Then, when Sento stopped spinning the handle, the belt asked,
"ARE YOU READY?"
"HENSHIN!" Sentou answered.
And then the armour slammed into his body, forming a red and blue armour on his body.
"Hagane no Moonsault! RabbitTank! Yeahhh!" The armour announced and then Sento took a pose.
"Building love and peace of the future!" Sento announced, "Kamen Rider Build!"
Papple looked at the man with another face of shock.
"A Kamen Rider you say?" she looks at the armoured man in disbelieve, "No matter! You can't defeat my Oshimaida with only colourful armour!"
"Is that what you think?" Build asked with a confident smirk that hidden by his mask, "Yell, Ange, Etoile, I need your help!"
"Yes, Sensei!" the three nodded in confidence.
"OSHIMAIDA! FINISH THEM!" Papple said in loud voice.
"OSHIMAIDA!"
The Oshimaida then spin its body again while sending thorn everywhere.
"Hurray! Hurray! Heart Feather!"
"Hurray! Hurray! Heart Star!"
Ange's shield formed and the attack was repelled. Etoile was the next to act, she took out her Preheart and from behind the shield formed two rope out of light, and then send said rope to tie the Oshimaida. The Oshimaida stopped spinning but it was ready to spin again, trying to break out of Etoile's rope.
"Yell, come on!" Build spin the handle in his Build Driver.
"RabbitTank!" the belt announced again.
"Yes, Sensei!" Yell answered.
Both of them then jumped very high and then made a kick towards the Oshimaida, but at that time, the light rope broke and the Oshimaida was ready to spin again, but instead of spinning, a pink coloured linear equation diagram appeared and then stopping the Oshimada for spinning again.
"Ready, Go! Vortex Finish! Yay!" the belt announced.
And the moment Cure Yell's and Kamen Rider Build's kick connected, the Oshimaida was exploded. The two landed safely. A smaller version of the Oshimaida has appeared after the explosion cleared. said smaller Oshimaida that looked delighted then fly away towards the sky, while saying "I will quitting~~" and then disappeared.
Sentou then took out his trusty gun and aimed at where the Oshimaida once was. "Asupower! Recovered!" it said and Sentou then took off the fullbottle from its gun.
"How? Oshimaida isn't supposed to explode!" Papple looked in disbelief, but she has enough surprise and with a tired face ran away from the battle.
Erika stood not too far from where the battle took place, holding a perfume bottle with what looked like a blue doll on top of her head. She smiled and took out her phone with her other hand to call her best friends.
"Hello, Tsubomi?" Erika started to talk, "You won't believe what I just said! ANOTHER PRETTY CURE and ANOTHER KAMEN RIDER! Can you believe it!" she started and then she uses her machine gun talk to tell the pink haired woman about what she just witnessed.
"Erika as excited as usual," the doll on top of her head said with a tired voice.
"Uh...what happened?" Futaba was awake and she was surrounded by her new friends.
"Ah, you just suddenly collapsed," Saaya said with a weak smile, "I think you are just too tired, Futaba-san."
"Yes! You can work hard! but don't forget to take a rest too!" Hana said with her usual cheerfulness, "we were worried you know?"
"Ah, eh, Thank you," Futaba looked at the three girls, not actually believing what they said. As vague as her memory is, she was sure she didn't faint because she worked too hard, or at least she is confident that won't happen. Erika would laugh if she knows that what happened.
"Futaba! are you all right!" suddenly her older sister appeared from the front door and hugged her, "I heard from Erika you are collapsed! you shouldn't force yourself too hard! I already told you to call me if something happens, right? Now, should we go to a doctor? maybe the hospital is better! I don't know what mom will..."
"Onee-chan!" Futaba then pinched Tsubomi's cheek, "I am fine! You talk like Erika-nee when in a panic! stop panicking okay? Look, I am alright!"
Tsubomi touches her little sister's hand and then giving smile.
"I am glad!" and then started to cry.
"Tsubomi! Aren't you embarrassed? Your little sister's friend is here you know?" From behind them, Erika appeared with her palm hand on her face.
"Oh, ah! Thank you for befriending Futaba," Tsubomi bowed towards Hana and Co, but Hana just smiled.
"No Problem~" Hana answered, "We were also worried about Futaba-chan. We were just glad she is fine."
"Now, we really should go back to the cafe," Homare said, "Don't work too hard Futaba~"
"have a nice day!" Saaya bowed and then followed her two friends leaving the flower shop.
It was a nice day, Hana got a new friend and experienced how to work as a florist. Looked at Tsubomi, she was a good older sister. Hana wondered if she is also as good as Tsubomi. Hana smiled and then walking faster, she wants to meet Kotori after a long day. Maybe she can convince her to work at the cafe too? with various think on her mind, the day was ended peacefully and once again future was protected.
An:
Here we go Chapter 05. Not too proud about this chapter since I feel it more focusing on Futaba and Tsubomi. Heartcatch was my favourite Precure series. For the record, No, Futaba wasn't Precure herself. On another note, This chapter supposed to have a crossover with KiraKira Precure Ala Mode since the Cafe ordered their cakes and cookies from Kirapatti, but I decided not to write them yet because I have no idea what Kamen Rider will fit with them.
Other fanfic already attempting to make this kind of things: A universe where all Pretty Cure is helped, connected or have a team up with Kamen Rider. That was a good idea and I am attempting to make my own. But since I am only watched so few Precures series (HaCha, mahou girls, Kira Kira and Huggto) I only focused on the new ones instead. My ultimate aim is to re-create Super Stars and Dream Stars movie with Kamen Rider on them.
On another note: I really need to make a better scenario for how the Riders appeared beside using Big Damn Heroes.
so What do you think about this episode? Did Homare manage to get closer with others? What happened to Charalit that goes unmentioned here? will Kotori become important for the plot again? what kind of Oshimaida will they face against next? How do I plan Hana to met with George? So look forward to it.
Ps: Your comment is my motivation to keep writing. so keep commenting. See ya~~
