Vast estate In which a large mansion located in a wooded area of the vicinity of Tokyo was home. To Hematite and Makoi when they were growing up as children with their parents. Came with a private stable and in- door pool area for all kinds of sporty activities. Not talking about the chef's kitchen with state of the art appliances and a large pantry. Every space was filled with antique furniture from a formal out sitting room to a theater room. Currently was has its outdoor patio being used by the girls for their first ever senshi meeting.
"They're still not back?" Amiko asked, rather bothered.
"You admit you miss a fellow bookworm." Reika rolled her eyes at her.
"Better than paying for a boyfriend." Amiko fixed her glasses.
Mina had to whistle really loudly before she placed Kousagi on the ground with duty surprise. In her arms was a pink fur cat by the name Aylin with crescent moon brand. Her bunny brooch pinned to the collar of her dress. Held in Mina's arms just watching the older girls argue with themselves.
"Are we done?" Mina asked Reika and Amiko.
"Shouldn't she be with her nanny?" Makoi joined them.
She stopped pushing a tea cart with a tea set and three tier dessert tray filled with sweets she baked. Who accepted Kousagi into her arms when Mina asked needed her arms open. Aylin jumped onto one of Mina's shoulders with tail wiggling.
"We have a new enemy using old Minions," Aylin spoke of women who released the Daimon, "This is how our future senshi will behave. Shame."
"Someone has been hanging out with Diana." Reika liked Aylin.
"Look," Mina fanned herself when thinking of Dann, "I also miss my blonde hunk, but we need to focus."
"Aren't the Sailor Quartet handling this?" Amiko asked, "Or even our parents?"
"To busy preparing for the royal Union of the century," Makoi recalled, "Princess Lady Serenity to high priest Helios."
Ever since the reunion of Helios and Chibiusa as young adults just two years ago took place within the Crystal Palace. Romance bloomed between them as the days passed when they were around each other. Told the palace staff and their closest friends that they were going to be something more.
"So … " Reika didn't understand.
"We're going to handle this." Mina clearly stated.
"We're not trained like our mothers and Sailor Quartet to handle this kind of problem," Amiko pointed out, "We just started."
"Who else is there?" Aylin asked.
Dann and his brothers were currently away and hadn't told anyone when they were coming back. Sadge and Ben could only do so much to protect Japan. Makoi's dad investigating who unearthed the pods was leading nowhere.
"So we're doing this." Mina proudly posed.
Reika ended up laughing while Amiko tried to understand how they were to start. Makoi was too busy with Kousagi while Mina froze since she hadn't planned this far with everyone. Left Aylin to roll her eyes at the four of them and how unprepared they were.
"Let us start with getting you a cat guardian." Aylin addressed Mina.
She recently learned that the appointed cat guardian to Princess Lady Serenity had relations with the reincarnation of Bakene. Produced an unnamed male cat with STRONG qualities of Mau Alien. Who had been taught and raised in the ways of his mother and grandmother.
"My own talking cat," Mina exclaimed, "Yes!"
All Aylin ended up borrowing a phone to make a few calls as the girls snacked on tea and sweets. Talking about where they needed to improve as future senshi the whole time. Not knowing Ben would arrive carrying a pet carrier with a box. Shown where the girls were chatting away by the caretaker of the Sanjouin estate.
"Girls meet Ehan." Ben set the carrier down to release a light green tabby cat with crescent moon brand.
"Hi." Amiko waved with widened eyes.
"Glad to meet you." Mina happily clapped.
"What can you do?" Reika wondered.
"Honored." Makoi nodded.
Kousagi currently stayed quiet when she was put on her feet with Aylin jumping back onto her shoulders. Ehan took a quiet seat before those eyes with posture straight. Slowly blinking as he looked over and pondered who would be his new partner.
"As tradition states," Aylin spoke up, "You'll be in the care of Mina Aino from now on then Crystal Sentries."
"How does that sound?" Ben asked Ehan.

Enstatite and Anil were quite welcoming to a talking cat to their household when Ehan. Money to buy toys and food were going to be needed for this newest addition. Which Mina already solved with one of the packed boxes of her possessions.
"You want to sell your unicorn collection?" They couldn't believe what she wanted to do.
"I am kinda over the unicorn obsession." She teetered her hand.
"Should we get started?" Anil looked at Enstatite.
A single box and plastic storage bins filled with unicorn memorabilia from porcelain statues to artwork. Sorted through by them from what they could privately sell online. What couldn't be sold off that way in a few short weeks. Would be sold off in a flea market in the Setagaya ward of Tokyo. A stall was all arranged by Anil from payment for the space to basic set up. Asking among Mina's friends who were available to work with her came up. One who stepped up was none other than Makoi since others were busy. She also had a few things she wanted to sell beside unicorn items.
"Seems we're both clearing house." Makoi noticed how popular they were.
"I am just growing out of a phrase while raising money for our cat," Mina answered her, "You?"
"Same as you, but I'm raising money for cooking ingredients." Makoi explained.
"Let's try our best." Mina gave her a thumbs up.
Makoi agreed with her about a hard day's work after the last few people bought something. How the two were always on their toes when they had an interested party. Making sure to stay anative and wearing their best smile. Not being aware and a familiar face from the temple was in the crowd. A woman with a headscarf spotted the girls from where she stood. She had to remain calm despite the anger flowing through her. She didn't want to break what she bought over the sight of them. She shifted into one of arms while pulling a sealed jar holding a single Daimon pod from her tote bag.
"Get rid of those girls," Women quietly whispered, "Bring me a pure heart crystal in the process."
She made the jar slipping from her hands look like an accident to release the pod. Walking away when the pod sought out a bamboo tube steamer for soba. Creating a creaking and clopping Daimon offering soba to people. Caused quite a stir by shooting wet packs of soba at people. Yelling at others about where it has a pure heart while stomping around.
"Not my day." Mina felt like she was being stalked.
"Better than what we've been through with our dad's?" Mokai asked her.
Both girls came up with sort of a plan when they split up with Mina patting herself down. Swearing she put her phone somewhere on herself when she left. She didn't know which pocket of her attire she placed her phone. Since she chose to call for help while Mokai grabbed her transformation rod.
"You're looking for action," Mokai yelled as loudly as she could, "Come and get it."
This was where she got hit with cannon ball shaped soba noodles with a dampness. She didn't like the wet sensation when noodles bound her limbs in a tightening hold. Allowing the Daimon reveal its black star tattoo, Out shot this black beam of energy in the shape of a 5- pointed star. Pierced her chest in searing manner just digging pass tissue and bond of her chest. She pressed her lips together so tightly, that Mokai almost bit through the skin of her lips. Not wanting to scream out when she slowly started to lose consciousness as she thought of Angel. Last memory she had of him was kneading bread dough beside him. He spoke about doing a complete cinnamon roll menu for his family's cafe. Where everything on the menu was different kinds of cinnamon rolls. Which inspired her to explore the cinnamon rolls she could make in her free time. This meant ingredients her dad wasn't going to get for her. The reason why she was selling a few things to make money. Became a faded memory when sparkling came from her chest.
"Affection Lightburst." Orbs of touch sensitive light ended up being thrown at the Daimon. When they hit it, that orbs explodes on contact with overwhelming fondness.
Leaving an unconscious Mokai to slop against the near shelf with her heart crystal. Had Venus co,ing to her side apologizing, this had to happen to her. Being careful to push her friend's heart crystal back into her chest.
"I'll be here." Sailor Venus knew that Mokai could hear her.
On to her heel feet Sailor Venus went picking up an armful of knocked over oranges. Taking a cleansing breath as she started throwing the fruit at the Daimon. Left the Daimon to pull off a part of her clothing like a lid. Catch each orange thrown at her to shot it back at her in the form of soba cannon balls. Distracted the Daimon enough for Mokai to regain her senses with a blink.
"Oh. right," She recalled what she held, "Jupiter Power, Make Up."
cracking wings of pure electrical energy surged around her for when she was surrounded by light. Forming her form into an angry Sailor Jupiter stepping forward.
"Electric Thunder Blast." She used that electrical anger she built up in her hands. To simply toss Daimon and watch sparks fly as wiry sparks burst forth. Scorch marks that appeared throughout the wooden surface of the Daimon.
"Yes!" Sailor Venus happily cheered.
Sailor Jupiter had her cheer on their minor victory later since they should at least help clean up. Not paying attention when stained defused with the pod. Wailing of the pod before it broke was a scary sight. Don't stop the two from going about with providing equipment to clean up.

Mokai was asked over by Mina instead of going home to face her father for the night. Others accepted wholeheartedly since she still needed to think. Enstatite and Anil set up a spare cot for her in their living room with a change of clothes. She helped with the dinner that night with Ehan resting on the counter.
"Well?" Ehan asked Mokai, "I heard about you helping out."
"Can't raise money without breaking a few egg." She replied.
She then placed a small bowl before him of fresh fish she deboned and sliced up finely for him. He accepted greedily as she carried a pot over to the table. Being thanked by Anil for helping with the meal while handing an envelope. She accepted knowing she was being handed her half of the money. Already knowing what and where she was doing after school tomorrow.
