The awaited days had arrived. Today was the day of the match between Leon and the Prince and his entourages. Everybody was rooted to their seat in the arena's spectator area, including Olivia, Clarice, and Angelica. After Leon made a showing by dropping his personal knight armor from the sky, they felt at ease knowing Leon was taking it seriously.
"Be honest with me, Clarice, Livia. Do you really think Leon can win?" Angelica opened the conversation. She was seated between Olivia and Clarice, and the latter put all her followers around them to prevent any spectator's riot from affecting them.
"I don't know," Clarice confessed. "But as I said to Leon, I do trust him. If he said he could win, then he probably can do it."
Olivia nodded. "Me too. I believe in his confidence. It's rare to see Leon so confident that my feeling tells me he can back it up."
"Yeah," Clarice followed up on that. "Normal Leon's confidence is so low that seeing him being confident like this reassures me."
Angelica looked between the two before she nodded to herself. "I see... I'm not quite familiar with Leon, so I can't make that conclusion. But exactly how is Leon normally?"
Olivia and Clarice looked at each other, thinking whether the other should be the one giving examples.
"Well, there's that one time Leon wanted to ask us to meet him and backed down when he realized we were with the others," Clarice started. "If it weren't for us insisting on going with him, I think he'd be satisfied with letting us continue hanging out."
"Leon also never held a tea party unless he invited us. I heard from him that his first time holding one, nobody was coming because of the Prince, so he stopped doing it until he met me," Olivia continued.
"Hmm, that does show that he is a somewhat subdued person. Then his confidence came out of nowhere, and it turns out he had personal armor. I can see how Leon is confident. But," Angelica narrowed her eyes. "Is it enough to win against five of them?"
"Doubting your champion, Redgrave?" A haughty voice called out to Angelica. When they looked at the source, they found two people standing there. Olivia didn't know them, but Clarice gritted her teeth and muttered.
"Offrey..."
"What's with the hostile look, Atlee? We're on the same side, aren't we?" The smirk on her face was grating to Clarice. The one behind her just looked nervous standing there alongside Stephanie fou Offrey.
"No, we're not," Clarice denied. "Leon is my dear friend. That's why I support him."
"A dear friend is more important than your fiancee, is it?" The smile on Stephanie's face told Clarice that she had fallen for her trap.
Angelica held out her hand, stopping Clarice from saying any further.
"What are you doing here, Offrey?"
"Well~, since we're on the same side, I thought it'd be fun if we sat nearby!"
Angelica glared at her. "You're not welcome here."
"How cruel~. Have you forgotten that you have nothing now that your relationship with the Prince is in jeopardy?" Clarice really wanted to wipe the smirk on Stephanie's face. But a small tug on her sleeve took her attention away from Angelica and Stephanie's confrontation.
"Livia?"
"I called Bridget to bring all her friends here and fill the seat. Please keep her attention occupied," Olivia winked.
Clarice gaped. That was a sneaky move by Olivia right there. "Understood," she whispered to her with a smile.
"Hey, Offrey," Clarice began, turning at the still smirking noble. "Tell me, what's your intention by rallying the others into supporting Leon."
"Unfortunately, Atlee, I do not intend to tell you about it."
"I am asking you politely here."
"And I am telling you to fuck off politely here," Stephanie smirked at her.
Clarice saw the girl behind Stephanie, possibly one of her followers, opened her mouth to say something, but stopped herself. She looked around, noticing Bridget's friends and her followers filling the seat in concern. But Stephanie did not notice her at all. After all, she was having fun arguing things with Angelica and Clarice.
"Such crass language, Offrey. No wonder Field doesn't want to have anything with you."
It seemed that it hit the nerve because Stephanie frowned and hit back with a hostile tone.
"Yeah. And I'm sure Marmoria also feels the same."
Unfortunately for her, while she seemed to be hung up on Brad, the same couldn't be said for Clarice. Instead of hitting back in anger, she just smiled at the frustrated Stephanie.
"Did you know I've sent letters to my family to break off my engagement with Jilk?"
Stephanie looked surprised at the admission. "What-"
But before she could reply, Clarice cut her off. "Unfortunately, Offrey, there seems to be no place for you to sit nearby."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Stephanie looked confused before she was tugged by the follower behind her.
"Lady Stephanie... All the seats are filled."
"What?!" Stephanie looked around, and indeed, there were no empty seats in the vicinity of Clarice, Angelica, and Olivia. Every one of them was filled with people. Stephanie might not be familiar with some of them, but they were Clarice's followers and Bridget's friends.
"Tch. Let's go, Carla," Stephanie ordered with a scowl on her face.
Once she went away, Angelica gave one last parting shot, "Good riddance."
"Thanks, Livia," Clarice playfully hugged the commoner's arm.
Angelica nodded beside her. "That was clever."
"Thank you, Angelica. I saw Bridget bringing her friends, so I asked her to bring more."
Clarice nodded. "For now, let's just pay attention to the field. The match will start soon."
Leon easily wiped the floor with Brad, Greg, and Chris. The black armor, Arroganz, coupled with Leon's own piloting skill, overwhelmed the three of them one on one.
"Strong..." Angelica muttered.
"That's Leon for you," Clarice smiled, looking down. Seconds later, it turned into a frown. "Excuse me for a moment, Livia, Angelica. There is something I need to make certain."
Clarice then left her seat, with her follower coming with her.
"Do you know what's Senpai's business, Angelica?" Olivia asked Angelica, who shook her head.
"I don't know, but considering the next match is Jilk, we can assume that she will talk to him."
"In the meantime, Let's go talk to Leon! I'm sure he'd love our cheers!" Olivia offered her hands to Angelica. Once she accepted it, she was dragged away by Olivia to find Leon.
Nobody should be able to enter the hangar where Leon put Arroganz down between the match. However, since nobody but her liked Leon, they ignored the security of his hangar. This was unacceptable. She should've known this would happen. Entering the hangar, Clarice saw that Leon had already left the armor. Perfect. While she wouldn't mind being seen, she would prefer not to be seen. After all, she was Jilk's fiancee. She understood how he was and had once thought that he, too, understood her. But she knew better now. Jilk never held any feelings for her.
The problem was she understood Jilk. Therefore, she knew what would happen. She brought Frank, one of her followers, with her for a reason.
She heard footsteps entering the hangar. Letting out a sigh at how predictable Jilk was, Clarice braced herself for the confrontation.
However, the click-clack sound of the footsteps was not of a man. She waited for the figure to show themselves and was treated by the sight of one of her fellow second year in the Academy. It was...
"Yenny? No, that's not your name," Clarice greeted the girl that just entered the hangar. A small whisper from beside her told her the girl's name. "Ah, Jenna fou Bartfort. Thank you, Frank."
What was Leon's sister doing here? From what Clarice understood, Leon did not associate much with her. Clarice was not interested in mingling with her because of her personality, so there should be nothing she needed in this hangar. Unless...
Clarice paid attention to Jenna's whole body language. Instead of the usual haughtiness she exudes, there was a visible jumpiness around her. She was hiding something behind her, judging by the position of her arms.
"L-Lady Atlee. N-Nice meeting you here."
"Let's cut to the chase, Bartfort. I'm stopping you here. I expected it was someone else, but for him to use you..." Clarice frowned at how low Jilk was. To use one's own family member for sabotage... Utterly despicable.
Jenna did not reply. She was looking at everything but Clarice's gaze. On closer inspection, she was sweating a lot from nervousness.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about."
"Calm down," Clarice reassured her. "I know that you're not doing this willingly. Probably. At least you're not the type to resort to this thing, from what Leon sparsely divulged. On the other hand, I have the misfortune to know someone who definitely would do this. Frank," she gestured to her follower to seize whatever was behind Jenna.
The muscled man nodded and followed her instructions. He took the thing Jenna was hiding, which was a box, and brought it to Clarice.
"Here, My Lady."
"Check the insides."
Once he did, Frank's eyes turned serious. "It's a bomb."
"I see."
The revelation shook Clarice, but she tried to appear as though it did not affect her. How could she not? It was her fiance, after all. She might have moved on, but they were still officially betrothed since nobody broke the engagement. If something happened to Leon because of this, there was no way she wouldn't feel responsible.
"Bartfort. I'm giving you a hand. Get out of here now, and I won't do anything to you," Clarice declared. Without waiting, Jenna scampered off in a hurry.
Sighing, Clarice massaged her temple. Really, Jilk was unreasonable.
"What do you want me to do, My Lady?" Frank called out to her.
"Dispose of the bomb safely. Knowing Jilk, seeing Jenna would tip him off, and he'd come here to check on his sabotage."
With a nod, Frank headed off to do her command. Meanwhile, Clarice stood near Arroganz alone.
Three minutes later, the one she was waiting for came.
"Hello, Jilk."
"...Clarice," was his reply, acknowledging her presence. There was an intense emotion in his eyes that she had never seen in him before. What was it? She felt as if she was familiar with the intensity, but the name eluded her. Where did she see it again?
Ah, right. It was in the mirror.
"It's funny. Ever since that girl entered your life, I've been trying to do anything to get your attention. Did I succeed? Not at all. You kept ignoring me again and again. Why is it, then, now you're standing before me with such loathing in your eyes?"
Jilk did not reply.
"If it were a month ago, no doubt I would feel happy to see such an intense feeling for me, even if it is anger. At least, that means you're acknowledging me, your fiancee," Clarice had a small laugh, noticing the irony of the situation. "But now, you know what? I don't care in the slightest."
Approaching Jilk, Clarice leaned her body forward and looked up at him, "I've moved on. I don't really care if you're fighting for that harlot-"
"Marie is not a harlot!"
"-but to use underhanded means to potentially injure my friend, I can't accept it."
The hatred in his eyes never receded. Gritting his teeth, Jilk scoffed.
"You don't understand how deep my love for Marie is."
"On the contrary, I understand," Clarice smiled, denying his statement. "After all, I predict you're going to do this. That's why I'm here, Jilk. However, I can't accept that in your love, you are blinded to everything, even intending to injure my friend, Leon."
"So you've moved on to loving Bartfort, then. Is this why you're sabotaging me!?"
Frowning, Clarice sighed. "It's sad to see that your love turns you into such a beast."
"Hmph. Do know that I don't need to do this to win. I'm merely ensuring the chance for His Highness to win," Jilk deflected. "After all, that's what His Highness wants."
Right. Julius broke off his engagement with Angelica quite publicly. Of course, that was what Jilk focused on as his sworn brother. Speaking of engagement, well...
"Oh, right. That reminds me. I sent letters to Father about breaking our engagement, but he ignored me. Maybe you could speak with yours. The faster we officially break it, the better."
There was some kind of emotions she didn't understand displayed on Jilk's face. It wasn't quite hatred or anger, but it was more than indifference. "...Gladly."
And with that, Jilk left, his scheme totally read by Clarice.
Once Jilk left the hangar, she was alone inside.
Talking with Jilk for the first time since she entered the second year... was cathartic. Finally, she knew for real that Jilk held no affection for her. He even replied that he would be glad to get rid of their engagement, and Clarice should be happy.
After all, she moved on.
She did not love Jilk anymore.
There were no more lingering feelings in her heart.
She was happy to have her friends.
Footsteps echoed as she looked down, not wanting to see who had come.
"You're amazing, you know that?" Leon called out.
She did not reply with words, just a nod.
"If I were in your position, I'm sure I can't do even the slightest of what you've done."
She nodded again.
"That's why, Clarice," she felt a hand grab her shoulder, squeezing it slightly to show his support. "Instead of crying like this, you should be proud of yourself."
Leon's brusque tone changed into a softer one when he said that.
"Yes!" she said between her sobs.
"Now, go. Angelica and Livia are waiting for you. The match is gonna start soon."
She nodded and walked away. Before she completely left, however, Leon called out one more time.
"Oh, right, I forgot to say something. Clarice!" Leon shouted from near Arroganz. Wiping the tears from her face, Clarice looked back at the boy. "Thank you for everything."
A heartful thanks came out of Leon's mouth. She did not know how he did it, but he definitely knew about the confrontation between Jilk and her. The thanks were for calming Jilk down and stopping his sister from doing anything.
She quickly turned her face away from Leon. It wasn't because she found Leon unsightly. It also was not because she was angry.
Clarice just did not want him to see her reddened face!
Seriously, when you say it with such a sincere expression... Unfair. Totally unfair!
Marie gritted her teeth as she saw the mob, Leon fou Bartfort, defeat Jilk in the arena. What should have been an easy way to a life of luxury was turning into a nightmare. At this rate, Julius would be easily defeated too! And it was all his fault, Leon fou Bartfort!
Marie's own observation yielded nothing when she couldn't get any more information about him that wasn't available to the public. He was the third child of a border baron with his mistress. Striking out into the wild, he found great wealth and thus got his title. Ugh. Why couldn't it be her?!
She also observed from afar how he interacted with the protagonist and the villainess, and the minor villainess who served as the final obstacle in Jilk's route, although she didn't recognize her at first. Her appearance was so different from the game. They looked like good friends.
She was broken out of her musings by Julius, who came towards her before the last match. "Marie... do not worry. For I will win in the other's stead, and we can continue our love story!"
"Thank you, Lord Julius..." Marie clasped her hands and put up her best innocent look.
"Now, watch as I show the world how much I love you."
Once Julius left, Marie almost let down her guard, but Kyle was there, so she kept up the facade.
I wouldn't be so worried if the others could stand up a little to him... but all of them are easy picking for the mob! You're all useless! Marie clicked her tongue softly to not be overheard by Kyle. If Julius also loses, what should I do? Would that lead to a game over? But even though I usurped the protagonist's place, she is still a student here. Is the game still following her life?
A single line of thought froze Marie.
Am I not taking the protagonist but the villainess role?
Leon stood on the opposite side of Julius in the arena. In a moment, their match would start. He easily defeated the other four. While Arroganz and Luxion helped, the main reason he easily won instead of being a close match was that they did not have the time to grow into their third-year selves.
Before the referee signaled the beginning of the match, Leon wanted to ask something to the Prince.
"Prince Julius. Do you mind if I ask you something? And to broadcast it to the spectators?"
"...Ask away. I shall answer if I can."
"Do you truly love that girl Marie?"
"Yes. I love Marie," Julius' voice echoed around the arena.
His answer made Leon wince internally. Sorry, Angelica. I just want to make sure that he really is speedrun by Marie. Three years' worth of events being crammed into three months did not change the result in the slightest. Julius still fell in love with the girl who caught his attention.
A slight glance to the spectator's area notified Leon that Clarice and Olivia embraced Angelica on both sides. Good. He mentally said thanks to the two girls for taking care of her.
"I see," Leon replied. "What about Angelica? She really loves you."
Sorry again, Angelica. I really want to know if he is as shitty as in the game.
"What that girl has for me is not love." The answer kind of surprised Leon, not because of the answer, but by the tone of the answer. It was not just anger but open disdain. "She's just deluding herself."
"Such hostility, but I'm satisfied. Let's start the match," Leon replied. He was fine with leaving the conversation where they were because he had his answers. Although, he could at least offer a token of support for Angelica. "One last thing, Your Highness. Even if you don't acknowledge her, I know for sure that Angelica loves you."
"She doesn't love me!" Julius replied in anger. "But yes, let's start the match."
The judge was about to start the match when a keyhole-shaped portal appeared above the arena. Everyone's attention was taken by surprise. A man came out of the portal and looked down.
Leon gritted his teeth in annoyance. He was about to finish the match quickly, but Steal had to interrupt.
The spectators didn't raise a fuss at first. Considering they mostly don't know about Steal unless they were victims, it was understandable. His eyes quickly went towards Olivia and Clarice. He gestured Arroganz to make a big cross with its arms, signaling the girls to not out themselves. Seeing Clarice's nod, Leon focused back on the Prince in front of him.
"Judge, just start the match."
"...But-"
"Are you crazy, Bartfort!? That guy scared Marie! I'm going to face him!"
Leon moved to intercept Julius before he could use the armor to fight against Steal. If non-Precure magic couldn't be of use against Zetsuborg, then it wouldn't even be able to scratch Steal. Julius might try to use the physical power of the armor, but considering the previous generals could turn into monsters, well, Leon wouldn't take any chances.
"Don't run away, Your Highness. Your fight is with me."
"But-"
"Or would you forfeit the match, thus meaning I win as Angelica's representative, and you have to fulfill the terms of the match?"
At that, Julius fell silent. "Can we agree to postpone the match? We have a bigger threat."
"No," Leon refused.
"Then, as the Prince of Holfort, I order you, Bartfort to-"
"Wow, selfish much?" Leon cut him off before even finishing his words, "What was it again you said at the start of the year? 'In this school, we are simply schoolmates. Please don't treat me by my status.' A simple guy being 'out of line' in your definition, and you're taking that statement back? Or are you simply a hypocrite?"
"How dare you!"
"How dare I? If this is your true color, I'd rather move away to another kingdom. No way I'll live in this kingdom with a hypocrite as the future king." And avoided whatever downfall this showdown would make, Leon thought to himself.
They were broken out of their debate when screams rang out around them. Leon saw as Steal descended near Olivia, Clarice, and Angelica, saying something to them. Then, in front of his eyes, Leon saw Steal pointing towards Angelica before her body suddenly rose up. Out of nowhere, a cage imprisoned her.
Shit, this is not the development I thought would happen! Leon thought before a bright light blinded his sight.
And then he saw it. Angelica's dream.
Once the light receded, a gigantic crown with a pair of arms and legs suddenly appeared in the arena, shouting, "Zetsuuubooooooorg!"
"That's..." Julius trailed off, mind still wandering elsewhere. When he saw the Crown Zetsuborg, he gritted his teeth at the black armor in front of him. "Let me go, Bartfort. Marie needs my help!"
"No," Leon still blocked Julius' way. "As I said before, your fight is with me. As for the monster..."
Leon made a big circle using Arroganz, hoping that the two saw him. While this was not the development he anticipated, he would do his best to make sure that it would be realized.
"Somebody else will take care of it."
When Olivia saw the keyhole-shaped portal above the arena, she had a bad feeling about what will happen. Not Steal or the Zetsuborg, because she could handle them. Something else made her feel uneasy, and she did not like it.
Steal came out of the hole and looked around the arena. She was poked on the side by Clarice, who gestured at Arroganz in the arena below. It made a big cross using its arm. She looked at Clarice, who nodded. Leon did not want them to come out now.
With Angelica still feeling depressed from Julius' declaration, it was a good decision to not come out and confront Steal as they were. Leon was as wise as usual. Although she still had to scold him for ripping the bandaid on Angelica. He did not understand a maiden's delicate heart at all!
When everybody whispered to each other about what was currently happening, Steal's eyes caught Olivia, and he grinned. He descended towards them with a cruel smirk on his face.
The other students around them took steps back, maintaining distance from the floating man. Only Olivia and Clarice stood their ground. Even Angelica was backing down in fear, her sadness forgotten.
What happened next caught her off guard. Steal passed by Olivia and Clarice without giving them even one glance and focused his attention on Angelica.
"Oh no," Olivia whispered, her body already moving towards Angelica.
"Angelica!" Clarice did the same.
But even with their instant realization, it was not enough.
"You're giving off such delightful despair. More. You shall give me more of it," Steal pointed towards Angelica. "Let me see your dream!"
Before the two panicking girls reached Angelica, a red keyhole appeared on her body.
In an instant, everybody was enveloped by a bright light.
"From now on, you will become His Highness Prince Julius' betrothed."
She remembered her father telling her that one day. From that on, whenever Angelica looked up, it was always to see the adults telling her that she would become a good queen.
"You will definitely become a good queen."
"Of course, Lady Angelica. I know you will become a good queen."
"I look forward to seeing you beside Lord Julius."
To fulfill their expectations, her family sent her as a maid under the Queen. There, she learned things that she had never known before. How to be a good queen and wife for the Prince. She read books that taught her about politics. She learned etiquette befitting of a queen. Later once she finished her lessons, the Queen looked at her and said,
"Thank you, Angelica. I can rest easy, knowing Julius will be in your care."
Slowly, her mind shaped all the things that the adults around her said into a goal.
She wanted to become a good queen on Julius' side.
She did not want to disappoint all of the people who had voiced their support. She wanted to fulfill them and make them happy that they chose her as Julius' partner for life.
Most of all, she wanted to make Julius happy.
Slowly, the images of what she experienced and felt were replaced with the images of what she wanted to be.
An older Angelica was sitting on the throne, wearing an ornate dress complete with a tiara on her head. Beside her sat Julius, older and wiser, with a crown on his head. Together, they led Holfort into a new golden age.
"Hmph, I'll steal your dream and put it in the cage of despair! Steal your dream!"
A lock shot out of Steal's sleeve and stuck onto Angelica's chest before a cage grew around her body.
In an instant, a Zetsuborg appeared, taking the shape of a crown.
"Zetsuuubooooooorg!"
The whole arena fell into chaos.
Students ran away in panic, screaming their hearts out because a monster had appeared. Because the spectator's area was a narrow one full of seats, many people fell down and stepped by the others. A friend left their other friends to fend for themselves. A girl tried to help her friend but got kicked by others. A boy fell down, shouting down their friend's name but got stomped by the people running away.
It was pure chaos.
Olivia clenched her fist. This was all wrong.
Angelica's dream was taken, and their surroundings were full of screams of fear and despair. The worst part? Steal did not laugh and relished the chaos. He only focused on Angelica and her despair, Olivia thought as she turned her attention to the floating Steal in the sky. To him, everything else was not significant. The girl kicked for trying to help? It wasn't worth his attention. The people on the ground? He wouldn't even acknowledge them. There was only Angelica and her dream in his mind.
"Lady Clarice! Please go to safety! We'll guard you!" Some of Clarice's followers approached her. Clarice herself looked at Olivia with concern.
"You too, Livia! Come on, let's go away from the commotion!" Bridget grabbed her right arm and tried to drag her away.
However, Olivia gently released Bridget's hold on her. Shaking her head, she smiled at Bridget. "Thank you, Bridget. But I'm okay."
"But-"
Olivia ignored her plea and looked at Arroganz. It made a big okay gesture. That meant Leon allowed them to confront Steal. Of course, now that a Zetsuborg had appeared, Leon understood the severity of the situation the most and allowed them to go.
"Livia!" Bridget called her out once again.
Smiling at her friend, Olivia shook her head once more.
"I have something to do."
From the corner of her eyes, Olivia saw Clarice tell her follower to go to safety.
"But we can't leave you alone, My Lady!"
Clarice smiled at them. "Thank you for your concern, but..." Clarice trailed off as she looked at Olivia, who gave her a nod. "I have something to do."
"...My Lady?"
Clarice ignored them and approached Olivia.
"We really are going to do this..." Clarice sighed toward her. "Oh well, while I'm not sure what will happen later, I am still going to do it."
Olivia nodded. "After all, it is Angelica that is being taken. No matter what, I will try to save her."
"Livia? Lady Clarice?"
They walked to the edge of the spectator's area, ignoring the cries of their name from behind. Once they were there, the severity of the situation became even more apparent. The chaos was not contained in the area around them. Ever since the Zetsuborg appeared, every part of the arena was in chaos.
"Let's go, Senpai," Olivia said as she looked at the Zetsuborg wrecking the arena.
"Mmhmm, Livia."
"Precure! Princess Engage!"
Once the light died down, the figure of Olivia and Clarice was replaced by Cure Flora and Cure Mermaid.
Bridget looked at the two figures, eyes wide. Those two frilly-dressed warriors who saved her... They were Clarice and Olivia?! "No way... Livia? Lady Clarice?"
On the other side, Marie gaped at the show of light coming from the spectator's area.
Did those two just say Precure!? What the hell!? Precures exist in this world too!?
And then there was the fact that the heroine was one of the Precures. What the hell? This wasn't supposed to happen in the game! But then again, Marie realized. Many things had happened that ventured far off from the game, like Leon fou Bartfort.
Did he know about the Precures too? She remembered hearing how Bartfort was close to the protagonist and Jilk's fiancee, and it turned out both were Precures.
Marie, who had wanted to get away, stopped and instead looked onto the stadium. She had to know more about the Precures. Did they have connections with Cure Star, Cure Milky, and the rest?
In the middle of the stadium, both Leon and Julius looked as the two girls transformed into the Precures. Leon had a smile on his face. It seemed that the two got his message and transformed now that the situation was precarious. It might not be the best move to have them reveal themselves as the Precures, but they had no other choices. Whatever happened after this, Leon would stand with them.
But before that... he turned his attention back to the prince, who was still reeling at the shock.
"Well then, Your Highness. Shall we continue our match?"
"You-That's-What? ...How?" Julius couldn't form any words. He shook his head to regain himself. "Bartfort. It seems that what you said was correct. Very well, amidst this chaos, I will continue and win Marie's heart even more by being the only one to beat you!"
Leon smirked before he commanded Arroganz to launch at the Prince. "Do prepare yourself, Your Highness."
A/N: This chapter takes so long because I can't mecha fight. So I opted to skip all of them! Yay me! It's not like the others are important to the main cast. Anyway, lots of things are happening here. From Best Girl Clarice confronting Jilk (my favorite part), to Leon asking question to Julius. It's different from canon because technically Leon already knew they're not in game canon anymore, and Julius never interacted with Olivia anyway because she's mostly with him, so he opted to do something else. After that, Steal crashed the party and unexpectedly he went for Angelica who's still heartbroken. Boom! Her dreams were shown to everyone. And then we have the big damn reveal moment! I always love the big damn reveal moment in Precure and is quite sad that Heartcatch didn't do this. And then the chapter is closed with Leon doing the Precure's catchphrase.
