Fusion Group has registered Cure Peach, Cure Berry, Cure Pine, and Cure Passion as Pretty Cure.
Cure Black, Cure White, and Kiriya are now college students. Cure Dream, Cure Rouge, and Milky Rose are now high school students. Misumi Ryouta and Hyuuga Minori are now middle school students. Natsuki Yuu and Natsuki Ai have enrolled in elementary school.
It is the same extravagantly spacious director's office and the same golden-eyed Tatsunojou Ayumi who greets the latest girls to be chosen by the Fusion Group, and it is their first time being here. Love, Miki, and Inori, react in approximately the manner one might expect. They were brought here on short notice, the environment is imposing, and this is the first time they have heard of-
"Pretty Cure? Don't make me laugh!"
The other girl who has come with them is wearing a most peculiar outfit. Mostly black, but with red trim, it looks something like a vest in the front, but is longer and has something like a pair of flared tails at the back. There is a gap visible that shows part of her stomach, and another, smaller gap between her top and her very short shorts. Perhaps as if to compensate for showing so much of her core, she is also wearing thigh-high stockings, opera gloves, and a choker, all of them also black. The outfit is highlighted by scarlet ribbons, bracelets, high heels, and a wide collar at the back. Her hair appears to be silver gray, but in fact she is wearing a wig.
She stands up on the seat of her chair.
"I have no need for sympathy or made-up titles! I am Eas, denizen of Labyrinth and loyal servant of Lord Moebius!"
Moebius is not a person who exists in this world. Labyrinth is also not a real place.
"Um... Setuna, maybe you could-"
"Call me Eas!" Inori gets shouted down.
"Setsuna-"
"Eas!" As does Love.
"Eas, at least get down on the floor. If your heels break while you're up there acting silly, you'll be lucky to end up with only a sprained ankle."
Setsuna pauses. Whether it is because Miki called her Eas or because she is considering the suggestion...
The director leans forward in her seat, smiling. "The upholstery you're standing on is rather expensive, by the way."
The self-styled denizen of Labyrinth gets down from the chair.
"This isn't over!" she shouts, then turns and stalks out of the room.
