[00:21] ---
    It's another nice day.
[00:31] ---
    My goodness,
    you don't even like your coffee black.
[00:35] ---
    Big sis.
[00:37] ---
    Good morning, Yumi-chan.
[00:38] ---
    Good morning.
    Hey, can I feed the killifish?
[00:43] ---
    Yes, of course.
[00:45] ---
    Yay!
[00:51] ---
    Good morning, Komachi-chan.
[00:53] ---
    Good morning, Yamaguchi-san.
[00:56] ---
    You're pulling the weeds?
    Thank you for doing that for us.
[00:59] ---
    Thanks to you,
    this area is always neat and clean.
[01:02] ---
    It puts me in
    a good mood when I walk by.
[01:06] ---
    Thank you so much.
    I really appreciate it.
[01:08] ---
    It's nothing really.
[01:10] ---
    Oh, that's right.
    I came here to give you this.
[01:14] ---
    The new
    shopping district newspaper.
[01:16] ---
    I enjoyed the essay you wrote.
[01:19] ---
    I would never think to write from
    the perspective of a stray cat.
[01:24] ---
    You mentioned Café Tobari
    behind the shopping district.
[01:28] ---
    I assumed
    that they closed down long ago.
[01:31] ---
    I didn't know they were
    still open until I read this.
[01:35] ---
    I stopped by yesterday.
[01:37] ---
    Is that right?
[01:39] ---
    Speaking of which, they served me
    this tiny little cup of coffee,
[01:42] ---
    so I had my doubts.
[01:45] ---
    But it was delicious.
    You're such a pro, I should have known.
[01:49] ---
    Big Sis Komachi, you're a pro?
[01:56] ---
    She's a pro at writing novels.
[01:58] ---
    She's amazing
    and even won an award.
[02:01] ---
    Oh, wow!
[02:03] ---
    -Is it in the school library?
    -Of course. Look for it.
[02:06] ---
    Uh, actually, I don't think it's there.
[02:10] ---
    Oh, really?
[02:11] ---
    Shall I put in a word to the principal?
[02:14] ---
    Oh, no.
[02:15] ---
    Then let me read it sometime.
[02:18] ---
    Okay, sometime.
[02:21] ---
    I have to go.
[02:23] ---
    Bye.
[02:25] ---
    Be careful now.
[02:31] ---
    Oh, Shimizu-san!
    About that thing the other day…
[02:34] ---
    Did I hear
    that someone adopted that dog?
[02:37] ---
    That's right.
[02:39] ---
    See you later, Komachi-chan!
[02:42] ---
    That's good to hear.
[02:43] ---
    Yes, a friend of mine is
    going to adopt it.
[02:46] ---
    Is that right?
[02:49] ---
    A pro, huh?
[02:51] ---
    Komachi
[03:01] ---
    Ideas for next work
[03:09] ---
    The world will sparkle now
[03:12] ---
    Because I said so
[03:15] ---
    I'll make your smile
    light up once again, beautifully
[03:21] ---
    Rather than
    live someone else's life
[03:25] ---
    I will dance
    to my own beat, like this
[03:30] ---
    These exciting days
[03:35] ---
    will never end
[03:38] ---
    Power of Hope
    Precure Full Bloom
[03:50] ---
    Even if you can't love the world
[03:53] ---
    Don't blame your heart
[03:56] ---
    Your tears will always
    turn into a new dream
[04:03] ---
    Rather than
    live someone else's life
[04:06] ---
    I will dance
    to my own beat, like this
[04:12] ---
    These exciting days
[04:16] ---
    will never end
[04:38] ---
    My Town
[04:38] ---
    My Town.
[04:43] ---
    Komachi
[04:44] ---
    I'm going to make
    the delivery to Mochida-san.
[04:53] ---
    Dry Cleaner
[05:03] ---
    Komachi-chan.
[05:05] ---
    Are you making
    a delivery to Mochida-san?
[05:08] ---
    Yes.
[05:09] ---
    Mochida-san suddenly collapsed.
[05:12] ---
    What?
[05:13] ---
    I heard Mochida-san was
    swallowed up by a dark silhouette.
[05:17] ---
    That can't be, can it?
[05:19] ---
    A dark silhouette?
[05:24] ---
    A Shadow?
[05:28] ---
    Mochida-san was fine
    when I saw him earlier.
[05:31] ---
    Maybe it was stress.
[05:35] ---
    I bet it's that modern-day sickness
    caused by working too hard.
[05:38] ---
    Can you imagine if everyone
    in this town fell ill like that?
[05:42] ---
    That would be scary.
[05:50] ---
    Everyone in this town?
[05:55] ---
    Shadows only appear in this town
    and the surrounding areas.
[06:01] ---
    Why is that?
[06:04] ---
    Nozomi-san
[06:08] ---
    Hello, Nozomi-san.
[06:09] ---
    I saw your message.
    A Shadow showed up?
[06:12] ---
    Well, it's not like I saw the Shadow.
[06:16] ---
    I'm in front of
    Mochida-san's store right now.
[06:20] ---
    Mochida-san is the grandpa
    of Yumi-chan, a student at my school.
[06:25] ---
    Oh, really?
[06:26] ---
    Actually,
    I'd like your opinion on something.
[06:30] ---
    Café Tobari
[06:37] ---
    Coco-san, you came too?
[06:39] ---
    I sensed the presence of a Shadow.
[06:41] ---
    I knew it!
[06:42] ---
    So, what about this connection
    between Shadows and this town?
[06:48] ---
    I looked up the locations
    of the Shadow incidents.
[06:52] ---
    As I thought,
    these incidents only occur
[06:55] ---
    in our town
    and the surrounding areas.
[06:58] ---
    That got me thinking
    that these Shadow incidents
[07:01] ---
    may not be an entirely new thing.
[07:05] ---
    As usual, you sure do love
    doing research, Komachi-san.
[07:09] ---
    Komachi, I think your theory
    is on the right track.
[07:12] ---
    Local History
[07:15] ---
    But when I looked up info
    and the history of this town,
[07:18] ---
    I couldn't find anything
    that connects it to the Shadows.
[07:23] ---
    If only we could talk to
    the person who wrote this article.
[07:27] ---
    Huh?
[07:29] ---
    During Japanese class,
[07:31] ---
    I used to think how cool it would be
[07:33] ---
    if Soseki Natsume showed up
    for the class.
[07:36] ---
    -Like an interview?
    -Exactly.
[07:40] ---
    -That's it!
    -Huh?
[07:42] ---
    If we talk to the people
    who have lived through
[07:45] ---
    the history of this town,
    we might be able to find clues.
[07:50] ---
    I see! Like the secret boss
    of this town or something?
[07:53] ---
    Secret boss?
[07:55] ---
    Oh, but I guess there is no such thing.
[07:57] ---
    There is a secret boss.
[08:00] ---
    Yamaguchi-san?
[08:03] ---
    I didn't mean to eavesdrop,
[08:06] ---
    but I couldn't help overhearing you
    talk about a secret boss.
[08:09] ---
    Don't tell me it's you?
[08:11] ---
    Of course not! It's Sanae-san.
[08:14] ---
    Sanae-san?
[08:15] ---
    I'll contact her,
    so you pay her a visit tomorrow.
[08:20] ---
    Thank you very much!
[08:22] ---
    You're always doing things for us,
    so I don't mind at all.
[08:36] ---
    Komachi
[08:38] ---
    It should be coming up soon.
[08:44] ---
    Could that be it?
[08:52] ---
    Wow. You can really sense
    this estate has some history to it.
[08:57] ---
    Excuse us.
[08:59] ---
    Come in. Yamaguchi-san told me
    you would be coming.
[09:04] ---
    I heard you want to hear
    stories from the past.
[09:07] ---
    This is for you. I hope you like it.
[09:10] ---
    Oh, how nice!
[09:12] ---
    I love the sweets
    from Komachi confectionery store.
[09:19] ---
    Is that right? I'm glad to hear that.
[09:23] ---
    Sorry to serve you your own gift.
[09:27] ---
    But it's more fun to eat it with others.
[09:29] ---
    Go ahead.
[09:31] ---
    -Thank you.
    -Thank you.
[09:43] ---
    It's delicious.
[09:46] ---
    It's so relaxing.
[09:48] ---
    I'm glad to hear it.
[09:50] ---
    My name is Komachi Akimoto.
[09:56] ---
    We are investigating
[09:57] ---
    strange incidents
    that are occurring in our town.
[10:02] ---
    I don't exactly know
    how to explain them.
[10:05] ---
    -I know about them.
    -Huh?
[10:09] ---
    I've heard that many people are
    falling unconscious.
[10:11] ---
    That's right.
[10:13] ---
    They're called Shadow incidents.
[10:16] ---
    I see.
[10:17] ---
    These Shadow incidents occur only
    in our town and surrounding areas.
[10:22] ---
    We think there must be a reason
    for that, so we're investigating.
[10:27] ---
    But we can't find
    any useful information.
[10:30] ---
    Sanae-san, I heard that
    you know a lot about our town.
[10:35] ---
    If there's anything you might know,
    can you please tell us about it?
[10:40] ---
    Sure.
[10:42] ---
    This town of yours has become
    a very beautiful town.
[10:47] ---
    Huh?
[10:48] ---
    Back then, there was nothing here.
[10:52] ---
    And I mean nothing.
[11:23] ---
    Actually, it's not that
    there was nothing.
[11:41] ---
    Absolutely everything
    disappeared.
[11:44] ---
    There was no town anywhere.
[11:47] ---
    But…
[12:04] ---
    The clock tower
[12:06] ---
    survived the wartime destruction?
[12:09] ---
    It was battered
    but still stood upright.
[12:15] ---
    Though everyone's hearts
    had stopped…
[12:24] ---
    the clock tower
    kept sounding its bell.
[12:28] ---
    As if it was urging people forward.
[12:43] ---
    Our hearts were filled with
    unexplainable energy.
[12:47] ---
    Our resolve
    to live here was strengthened
[12:50] ---
    and we were optimistic.
[12:53] ---
    You know those flowers
    in the flowerbed, right?
[12:57] ---
    Yes.
[12:59] ---
    Those flowers were first planted
[13:02] ---
    by people who were strengthened
    by the sound of the bell.
[13:11] ---
    "There may not be
    enough food or water,
[13:14] ---
    but there are
    little bits of happiness here.
[13:19] ---
    We want to strive for a future
    where everyone can live happily."
[13:23] ---
    That was our wish.
[13:44] ---
    I helped plant the flowers too.
[13:49] ---
    I didn't know
    that flowerbed had such a history.
[13:59] ---
    I shared that same wish.
[14:03] ---
    That clock tower is
    quite impressive.
[14:06] ---
    It's like a guardian deity.
[14:11] ---
    It might actually be.
[14:14] ---
    There is a picture of an angel
    on the bell of the clock tower.
[14:19] ---
    -What?
    -An angel?
[14:23] ---
    The name of that angel is…
[14:27] ---
    Bell.
[14:29] ---
    Bell?
[14:35] ---
    Is that…
[14:37] ---
    It must have known this town
[14:40] ---
    for much, much longer than me.
[14:48] ---
    Thank you for sharing
    such a precious story.
[14:51] ---
    The pleasure is mine.
[14:53] ---
    The red bean mochi
    and yokan were very delicious.
[14:56] ---
    Thank you.
[14:58] ---
    It would make me very happy
[15:00] ---
    if my story can help you,
    even if just a little.
[15:04] ---
    Thank you.
[15:12] ---
    Yukishiro
[15:15] ---
    That was an amazing story.
[15:17] ---
    Bell, the angel that gave hope
    to everyone in the town.
[15:21] ---
    But then
    why is Bell creating Shadows?
[15:26] ---
    I don't know.
[15:29] ---
    But if we go to the clock tower,
    we might learn something.
[15:46] ---
    It doesn't seem suspicious.
[15:49] ---
    We can't let our guard down.
[15:51] ---
    Let's go.
[16:09] ---
    This must be Bell, right?
[16:12] ---
    Yes, probably.
[16:14] ---
    It looks like her.
[16:17] ---
    But she seemed
    to have a different aura.
[16:23] ---
    I don't sense
    anything bad coming from this.
[16:26] ---
    Nothing seems out of place either.
[16:29] ---
    Maybe this had
    nothing to do with it?
[16:32] ---
    I wonder…
[16:53] ---
    Ultimately, we didn't find out
    anything about Bell.
[16:55] ---
    Komachi
[16:57] ---
    Yes. But whatever the reason
    or cause may be, I cannot allow her
[17:03] ---
    to manipulate this town
    and its people with her Shadows.
[17:18] ---
    Shadows!
[17:22] ---
    Komachi-san, leave this to me.
[17:24] ---
    Hurry up and contact the others.
[17:26] ---
    Got it.
[17:38] ---
    Precure
[17:41] ---
    Metamorphose!
[18:07] ---
    Great power of hope,
[18:10] ---
    Cure Dream!
[18:31] ---
    Stop it!
[18:33] ---
    That is something precious to us…
    to everyone.
[18:43] ---
    This town is the land of happiness
    that everyone worked hard to build.
[19:08] ---
    Precure
[19:10] ---
    Metamorphose!
[19:36] ---
    Tranquility of the green earth,
[19:40] ---
    Cure Mint!
[19:44] ---
    Mint!
[19:55] ---
    She blasted them all away!
[19:57] ---
    She means business!
[19:59] ---
    All right,
    I'll show you what I can do too!
[20:12] ---
    -Mint, we're almost done.
    -Right.
[20:17] ---
    Their numbers increased!
[20:26] ---
    Dream!
[20:28] ---
    I'm fine.
[20:37] ---
    The town…
[20:41] ---
    Precure Shooting Star!
[20:58] ---
    I won't let you!
[21:03] ---
    Precure Emerald Saucer!
[21:24] ---
    Komachi-san, you were so cool.
[21:26] ---
    When I thought,
    "I want to protect this town,"
[21:30] ---
    I realized
[21:32] ---
    that I, myself,
    am also a part of this town.
[21:38] ---
    -A part of the town?
    -Yeah.
[21:41] ---
    It might not be a big deal,
[21:43] ---
    but I realized that I am
    a character in the sad, powerful,
[21:47] ---
    and beautiful story
    that this town has weaved.
[21:54] ---
    Then I am too.
[21:56] ---
    That's right.
[22:01] ---
    One day, I want to write a story
[22:04] ---
    about all the people who live here.
[22:18] ---
    Ideas for next work
[22:21] ---
    I'd really love to read that.
[22:23] ---
    I want to be the first one to read it!
[22:28] ---
    It's decided!
[22:38] ---
    Nozomi!
[22:42] ---
    Are you okay?
[22:44] ---
    Yes.
[22:48] ---
    I guess I got
    a little too carried away.
[22:50] ---
    I'm totally fine.
[23:06] ---
    When I am awakened
    my eyes gain power
[23:12] ---
    And a drop of
    light trickles down
[23:17] ---
    (Drops of hope,
    the power of hope)
[23:28] ---
    I always thought adults could do
    whatever they wanted
[23:34] ---
    And were free and had fun
[23:37] ---
    I want to treasure the fantasies
[23:42] ---
    That everyone had
    in their childhood
[23:45] ---
    Going in circles, getting lost
[23:48] ---
    Days going by
    without any answers
[23:51] ---
    Don't let it dry up
[23:54] ---
    Tears fall silently
[23:57] ---
    As I face it head-on
[24:02] ---
    When I am awakened
    my eyes gain power
[24:08] ---
    And drops of light
    trickle down uncontrollably
[24:14] ---
    Those tears carry
    all sorts of emotions
[24:20] ---
    Eternal friendship
    and personal dreams
[24:26] ---
    Overflowing drops of Precure
[24:36] ---
    Power of Hope
    Precure Full Bloom
[24:39] ---
    Nozomi, I heard you fainted!
    Are you okay?
[24:42] ---
    I was just a little busy at work.
[24:43] ---
    All right, I'll eat bread from
    Saki-chan's place and get energized!
[24:47] ---
    Saki's bread is so popular.
[24:49] ---
    Yeah, but I still have a long way to go.
[24:53] ---
    Saki?
[24:54] ---
    It's different from when we were kids.
[24:56] ---
    You have to be a responsible adult.
[24:59] ---
    Next time is
    Episode 9, "Their Bond."
[25:02] ---
    Their Bond
