Author's Note

Things can finally move forward now that each of the precure got their own song. This chapter is probably a little slow and nothing much is happening, but the next one would be great. This one is more on setting on what's going to happen next.

Also, sorry about the confusion regarding the Christmas chapter. I noticed the mistake but apparently I didn't update the fixed note. It should be all correct now.

Update

Few dialogue and grammar fix

Few very minor scene change

Chapter 13: Returning Unit, Kanade's Chance!

In the other world, Gyaku and Kosei are seated across a meeting table. The mysterious man is present as well.

The man commends Kosei "Now Kosei, let me see your plan."

Kosei bows and gives a stack of papers to him. The man then quickly look through it.

He cracks a smile then laughs "This is great! This should work!"

Gyaku then unenthusiastically says "President, if we use this plan… does that mean I..."

He stares at him "You got a problem? I said nothing when you gave out information about us in your last fight."

Gyaku then trying to come up with an excuse "But isn't that something they will find out sooner or later?"

He sighs then looks back at Kosei "I'll leave the timing to you. If this goes well, the precure will be no more."

Gyaku can't believe he was ignored while Kosei answers "Yes! I'll make sure this plan succeeds!"

Early in the morning, someone knocks on the door to Hibiki and Kanade's room.

Hibiki rolls up in her bed and says "Kanade, can you answer that?"

Kanade sits up while rubbing her eyes "Hibiki, fine… I'll get it."

Kanade then opens the door and she sees a flyer in her face "What?"

The flyer moves back and reveals Suzu "Good morning! Did you see it?"

Kanade then looks at the flyer again "What is it? Special live, one-time unit returns. SKY-GIRL on Wednesday?"

Suzu then pulls back the flyer and holding tickets in front of her "Yep! It seems like a rare live so let's go!"

Kanade takes one "I see, sure."

However, Suzu shoves all the tickets to Kanade "Bring everyone, I got something to do today. That's why I came early for this. Anyways, now I gave you those tickets, I got to go. See you!" Suzu then immediately takes off, leaving Kanade behind.

"Suzu, she came here just for this? She could've just gave it to us tomorrow." Kanade then closes the door and goes back in.

Hibiki then asks while still half awake "What was that about? It's only 6 in the morning."

Kanade then shows Hibiki the tickets "It's a live for tomorrow evening."

Kanade then takes out her Aikatsu Mobile and looks up information regarding SKY-GIRL "Let's see, SKY-GIRL consists of three members. They are Kisaragi Tsubasa, Kasumi Yozora, and Kasumi Mahiru. Wow, it's all S4 members."

Hibiki then gets up "Tsubasa and Mahiru, who is Yozora?"

Kanade sighs "Hibiki… Kasumi Yozora, she is one of the 25th generations of S4 and also Mahiru's older sister."

Hibiki then puts one hand behind her head "Ah, that's right. They are sisters, weren't they? I knew that."

Kanade glares at Hibiki "Really?"

Hibiki then starts sweating hard and barely manage to answer "Ye… yeah."

Kanade looks at Hibiki for a bit longer "Fine, whatever. I'll be going, how about you?"

Hibiki jumps in excitement "Of course I'll go!"

Kanade smiles and nods "Alright, we'll go tomorrow and here." Kanade gives Hibiki a few tickets. "Can you give them to Yurina and Yume?"

Hibiki nods "Alright, but I'm pretty sure Yume can already get in."

Kanade "Yume is close with Mahiru after all. But check with her just in case, okay?"

Hibiki salutes "Okaaay... I need to ask Yume something after all."

Kanade tilts her head a bit and asks "Ask Yume? Just don't take up too much of her time. She is really busy almost every day."

Hibiki gets up from bed "Don't worry, it's only a quick question. Kanade, help me get ready and maybe I can catch Yume before she leaves."

Kanade sighs but still helps Hibiki. Hibiki then leaves "Then I'm off!"

At the same time when Suzu visits Kanade and Hibiki, Yume is getting ready to leave. While she is getting ready to leave, Rola meets up with Yume.

Rola asks "Yume, have you thought about it? Can you tell me what that was about?"

Yume freezes up "I…"

Rola frowns "I asked you last night, but you were hesitant so I waited. Is it something you can't tell me?"

Yume shakes her head "That's not it. It is just that it could… get dangerous."

Rola looks at Yume "Dangerous, you think I can't tell? Yume, whatever you are doing, I want to do it too. I'm your friend and your rival, right?"

Yume then takes out her Live Module "Rola, I know you want to help but… This."

Rola takes a look then tilt her neck "What's this?"

Yume explains "Apparently, it's called a Live Module. It's the precure transformation device."

Rola "A Precure transformation device. So in other words, I can't do it even if I want to?"

Yume nods while gripping her Live Module tightly "Precure… To be honest, I want to stop if possible but…"

Rola takes a deep breath and asks "Yume… Can you at least tell me what the fight is about?"

Yume hesitates to answer while looking down "That's…"

Around the same time, Hibiki shows up while waving at the two.

Hibiki "Good morning! Eh? Is something wrong?"

Yume and Rola look at Hibiki then back at each other. After a short moment, they slowly look away from each other.

Hibiki puts her hand down halfway "Sorry, did I come at the wrong time?"

Yume then turns to Hibiki and waves "No, it's okay. We just finished… kinda."

Yume peeks at Rola and she sighs "Well, nothing I can do without one of those."

Hibiki follows Rola's eye and sees Yume holding onto her Live Module "Eh? Uhmm, Yume. Did you perhaps…" Hibiki closed in and whispers to Yume.

Yume nods "Sorry, Rola is my best friend. I just… can't lie to Rola."

Rola turns to Hibiki "You are one of the girls who transformed."

Hibiki quickly answer "Ah, yes! I'm Hojo Hibiki!"

"Hojo Hibiki, ahh... You are one of the girls Yume scouted! Wait for a second Yume! Is that why they enrolled?"

Yume immediately rejects and waves her hand "Ah, no no no. These girls are definitely good idols."

Rola crosses her arms "Is that so? Well, if Yume says so." Rola then reaches her hand out at Hibiki.

Hibiki looks at her hand "What?"

"Live Module, can I have one? If Yume became get one after meeting you and others, I'm sure you have more."

Hibiki makes a wry smile "About that…" Hibiki then tells Rola what happened

Rola then complains "No way! So right now, they are missing? What if the enemy found them first?"

"Well, that's why Hummy is looking for it."

Yume then asks "But, is that enough? Maybe we should help to look for them."

Then another voice interjects while walking towards them "There is no need for that. Apparently, Mama has sent someone to help us." Then slowly reviews to be Ako with Ellen behind her.

Yume questions "Someone? Wait, across a different world? Just like that?"

Rola then questions again "Different world? Hold on, can someone explain the whole thing to me?"

Rola looks at Yume and she turns to Hibiki. Hibiki panics and then looks at Ako.

Ako sighs "Alright fine. Since you already know, I guess knowing the whole story doesn't hurt." Ako then explains about Precure and the enemy. As well as the fact that they came from another world to stop the new enemy that they found.

Rola then sighs "That's… an unbelievable story."

Ako nods "It does sound like a made-up story. Well, either you believe it or not, it's up to you. We will be looking for the Live Modules, so we'll be leaving first, okay?"

Hibiki, Yume, and Rola can't help but give a simple respond "Sure…"

As they walk by, Ellen apologizes "Sorry, I think she is just a little annoyed that we haven't found any of them yet."

Rola smiles "Well, I can understand. At least she seems more level headed."

Ako keeps walking and says "Of course! Ellen, hurry up. We don't have too much time until the morning class."

Ellen rushes over to Ako "Ah, I'm coming!"

Rola smiles while turning to Hibiki and Yume "Well, at least I understand what's happening. I'll stop questioning for now."

Yume smiles "Thanks, Rola. Oh right, Hibiki, why are you here so early in the morning?"

Hibiki then takes out the tickets from her pocket "It's about this. Suzu came to us and gave us these tickets." Yume and Rola both take one.

Yume then says "This is, The tickets to SKY-GIRL live! So many people were getting it that it sold out in a minute, how?"

Hibiki shrugs "I don't know but is it going to be that amazing?"

Rola puts a hand on her hip "You bet. Their live is going to be great, I can guarantee it."

Hibiki looks up for a moment then back at Yume and Rola "I see… If that is the case, let's go together!"

Rola and Yume both nod and smiles "Yeah."

In the afternoon, Kanade runs into Mahiru and Yozora. Mahiru sees Kanade and points at Kanade

"Kanade found!" She then waves at her

"Mahiru, good afternoon. I thought Mahiru and others will be training for tomorrow's live."

"Don't worry, we already practiced a lot together. By the way, I actually want to ask you something."

Then as if Yozora notice something "Oh, are you thinking of having this girl doing that?"

Mahiru answers and looks at Kanade "Yes! Kanade, do you mind doing our opening?"

"Eh? Me? But I don't think I…"

Mahiru cuts in "But I think Kanade would be able to do a great job. How would it go again? Show me your spirit recipe?"

Kanade looks at Mahiru for a bit then confidently answers "Yes! I'll show you my spirit recipe!"

Mahiru and Yozora then bid their farewell while Yozora teases Mahiru "Aren't you a good senpai."

Mahiru complains "Onee-chan!"

Kanade looks at the sisters walking off while having a fun conversation. She then grips her hands tight in front of her.

She says to herself with a firm resolve "Alright, time to do some special training!"

Mahiru and Yozora went to the cafeteria for their lunch.

Yozora asks "Hey hey, Mahiru. That girl Kanade, she is really good isn't she?"

Mahiru nods "I guess she is, but…"

Yozora blinks "But?"

Mahiru looks down and puzzled while answering "Kanade, she seems to pay too much attention to people around her. I'm worried that she might end up giving up a good opportunity if she is competing against someone with a situation."

Yozora looks relaxed "I see, but I think it'll be fine."

Mahiru turns to Yume "Eh?"

Yozora leans forward with a smile "That's the only thing you complained. If she doesn't have a problem, she can be an amazing idol, right?"

Mahiru tries to avoid "Maybe, but she still has a long way to go."

Yozora puts up a cheeky smile "Hehehe, you just ain't honest."

Mahiru screams "Shut up!"

Yozora smiles "Alright, I'll stop. Well, can you at least show me Kanade's live?"

Mahiru then gets excited immediately "Oh, right. I need to show you her song too!"

Yozora looks surprised "Her song? She already got her own song? That's amazing, show me!"

The two of them start to study Kanade's live and song. Taking notes and talk about her good points and problems. However, Kanade is aware of some of the problems.

Mahiru looks at the screen with deep focus "As I thought, she is good."

Yozora asks "Hehe, Mahiru thinks so too?"

Mahiru nods "I saw it once but never studied this closely. I can tell she put a lot of effort into it. If she keeps practicing, she'll become better and better." Mahiru smiles "Then maybe one day, we can stand on the same stage."

Yozora "Ara, I would like to join too. By that time, I'm sure Koharu will be amazing as well."

Mahiru then smiles with excitement "A stage with the four of us, I can't wait! But first…" Mahiru then calls Ako "Ako, this is Mahiru. I have a favor to ask…"

While Mahiru and Yozora are studying Kanade while making plans, Kanade is having a practice session by herself. The music is playing and she dances to her choreography. When Kanade finishes her practice, she lays down on the ground.

Kanade "Haa… Haa… I… Still can't get it down perfectly. Can I really stand on their stage like this?"

She sits up then hugs her knees. Soon after, a cold wind can be felt and Kanade shivers. It surprised Kanade and she looks around. A girl with white hair and a blue highlight at the end is standing by the door to her training room.

"Excuse me but are you ok?" She speaks with a soft voice

Kanade looks at her and forgot to answer for a moment "Eh? Ah yes! Well… maybe not…"

She walks closer and sat near Kanade "If you don't mind, maybe I can help."

Kanade thinks for a second and starts explaining "I… got the role of doing SKY-GIRL's opening stage but I'm not sure if I'm good enough. I kept training but I just can't get it perfect."

She nods "I see…"

Kanade looks a little confused "Do you understand what I mean?"

The girl shakes her head "No because I never trained that hard. I have a weak body after all."

Kanade blinks for a second "Eh? But you are an idol right?"

She nods and smiles "Yes, I don't think I'm very good but I am an idol."

While Kanade is having a hard time following her pace, she responds "I see… Ah, I'm Minamino Kanade."

"I'm Shirogane…"

At the same time, Yuzu barges in "Ah! Lilienne found! What are you doing?"

"Yuzu…"

Kanade then looks at Yuzu and Lily for a while "Wait, Yuzutto Lilie!"

Yuzu leans right beside Lily "Yep! We are Yuzutto Lilie!" Yuzu then pulls Lily up as they make a pose at the end.

Kanade wants to ask "But… You said…"

Lily immediately answers "I'm not lying, I am barely keeping up with Yuzu. There are so many better idols out there that's better than me."

Kanade "That many? But you are amazing too."

Lily tries to refute "I'm not really…"

Yuzu, however, thinks otherwise and cuts in "Of course Lilienne is amazing!"

Lily and Kanade look at Yuzu.

Then Kanade says "You know, I'm starting to think Yuzu is a bit similar to a friend of mine."

Lily asks "Really? I don't think there are many people as energetic as Yuzu."

Kanade then explains with a smile "Ah, no. She is not as energetic but how she cares about her friend and… being positive."

Yuzu thinks for a bit "Ah, you are taking about Hibiki!"

Kanade nods "Yes, I think the two of you are similar."

Lily then says "Hibiki, I would like to meet her."

Kanade nods and then Yuzu says "By the way, what are you two doing?"

Lily answers for Kanade "Listen, she got to do the opening live for SKY-GIRL."

Yuzu the excitingly looks at Lily, then at Kanade "Really? That's awesome! Alright, then Yuzu will help you!"

Kanade starting to look like she sweats profoundly "Eh?"

Yuzu puts up a big smile "Don't worry, I'll make sure you can do the best opening for them!"

Yuzu then forces Kanade to go along and eventually Lily joins in with some training as well.
