Nuts House has become a general hangout for the five girls who became Pretty Cure during the current year, along with Mimino Kurumi, who is distantly related to the owner. At the moment, Kurumi is taking a break from sweeping the floor to watch as Komachi writes... something.

"So... is that the story from when you pranked Rin?"

"I don't recall playing any pranks. What are you talking about?" Komachi says, a cat-like smile spreading across her face.

"I'm talking about that trial of courage, of course! Aside from you, your best friend Karen is the only one of us who has any resistance to that sort of thing, and the two of you just happened to end up on the same team, and just happened to go inside and disappear before anybody else? Don't think I've forgotten that the whole challenge was your idea in the first place!"

"Just because there were several coincidences doesn't mean that anybody planned any of it. Karen and I didn't disappear. We got lost. What Rin dreamed about, and that mysterious gift given to her by a ghost... I don't think there's any harm in writing a story based on something that happened to my friends."

Kurumi points dramatically at Komachi. "So you've said, yes. On the other hand, I don't really like horror stories, and mysteries where it turns out the detective was the culprit all along are just the worst! So let me tell you what I think happened: I think that you spread the rumors about that building in the first place, scouted the old school building and set a bunch of scary traps, then lured us all there and rigged the draw so that you'd go in first. Then, when you accidentally scared Nozomi and Rin so bad that they passed out, you whispered your scenario into Rin's ear, clipped that pin in her hair, and let her sleeping mind take care of the details! What do you think of that?"

Komachi giggles. "I think that would be very interesting story, if it were true. In any case, that's not the story I'm working on right now."

This time, Kurumi is the one with the mischievous smile. "It's not? Then, is it the one where Nuts carries you away to a fairy kingdom?"

Komachi clutches her notepad to her chest as her face turns bright red.
