Fusion Group has registered Shiny Luminous as Pretty Cure.
Hikari emerges from the director's office looking confused. Nagisa and Honoka are waiting for her.
"That conversation was very strange."
"Right?" Nagisa nods to herself. "Director Hououin might be the weirdest person on Earth, if you ask me."
"There is something odd about the Fusion Group in general," Honoka says. "But I think they mean well."
"I also don't understand why they asked me to dress like this," Hikari adds.
The dress Hikari speaks of is a frilly pink dress with a hem that hangs around mid-thigh, with detached sleeves, white leg-warmers, and a heart-shaped broach. She is also wearing a heavy wig, which gives her the appearance of long, voluminous twintails... a look she would not quite be able to pull off with her real hair.
"That might be my fault," Nagisa scratches her head. Unlike Hikari's wig, Nagisa's hair is only heavily styled. The dress she is wearing is similar to Hikari's, but black and embellished with pink hearts and ribbons. The hem is higher, allowing a glimpse of black spats underneath.
"Nagisa complained last time we were here," Honoka explains. Her dress covers slightly more of her thighs, but with a wider skirt, and is almost entirely white. Her outfit is decorated with blue hearts and pale blue trim, and like Nagisa, she is wearing her hair styled rather than under a wig.
"I said that if they were going to give us magical girl-like names, they should spring for magical girl dresses, too! I didn't think anyone was listening!"
"You reap what you sow, Nagisa."
"It's not like I don't like the dress!" Hikari insisted, seeing Nagisa begin to tear up. "Just there was so much the Director wouldn't explain! Like, why is my title different from yours? If I'm to be Pretty Cure like both of you, shouldn't I be Cure Luminous, or something like that?"
"I can't believe it," Nagisa facepalms. "It's like they're making up the rules as they go along."
The other two girls nod in agreement.
