It is a decisive moment. Iona shouts energetically as she presses her attack, but ends up flying through the air instead. She lands flat on her back.
"I really can't beat you, can I, Sis?"
Maria reaches down to help her sister up. "You've gotten stronger, but this is still my victory. I'm going to go back, and you owe me a thirty-minute massage."
Iona tears up. "Isn't there any way I can convince you to stay?"
Maria shakes her head. "Why don't you come with me, instead? Just for a week or two. I'm sure Mom and Dad would be happy to see you, too. Seattle is a lovely city, and maybe you could even visit Houston with me."
"Houston?"
"That's where Megan and her friends live, the American Pretty Cures. I promised her that I'd visit there soon, and she also asked me to bring her some things."
"Some things?" Iona echoes.
Maria shows a troubled expression. "To be honest, I don't entirely understand what she asked for. She said I can get it from a place called Otome Road."
