[Yuri's back in her own world, sitting in a very much not ruined room. Through the windows are no signs of a desert, either. Looks like everything's back to normal.]

So it was just a virus, then.

[She sighs, looking tired and relieved at the same time.]

I had hoped my first virus would be... different, but it can't be helped. I must admit I'm still concerned, though. It wasn't real this time, but the scenario wasn't impossible. I can't help but think it was all too probable to just be something the community pulled out of thin air.

Of course, I could simply be overthinking things. I should simply be happy the world is okay.


Ah, Minazuki-san, I have to thank you for getting me out of the desert. I don't want to think about what would have happened if I'd stayed there.


[Locked to Yayoi]

So, um...

...

Would it be too much to hope that I simply... imagined our conversation?

[fightbymoonlight]

I'm... doing a lot better. It was very surreal to suddenly find myself back home with everything intact. I never thought I'd ever feel so relieved to see my school.

I'm still worried about the possibility this could happen for real, but... I suppose that's more something for the Precure to take care of, isn't it?

[oceanicbutterfly]

If they're anything like the ones in my world, you can count on them to handle it.

...actually, that's something we should discuss. Do you remember me telling you about Nagisa-san and I being from the same world and not knowing it?

[fightbymoonlight]

I hope so... From what I've seen, they're not very capable.

Ah, yes, actually. Seeing as there are Precure in your world, you think that's also true for us?

[oceanicbutterfly]

They're probably just beginners. Everyone has to start somewhere.

So far every Precure we've heard of through the community has been from my world, no matter how different it seemed. And there was never any evidence against us being in the same world, except during a virus--and viruses play by their own rules.

[fightbymoonlight]

I guess so. I hope they improve before anything powerful shows up, though.

I see. I already know Yayoi-san and I are from the same world but in different times, but I hadn't confirmed the same with anyone else. If every Precure so far has been from the same world, though, it would only make sense it's the same this time.

[oceanicbutterfly]

You're not alone in that.

Kise-san was familiar with Cures from my world, so that proves it. So, greetings from Minato, I suppose.

[fightbymoonlight]

That makes it very clear, then.

So that's where you live? I'm from Kibougahana.

[oceanicbutterfly]

It's beginning to seem like there are Precure everywhere.

[fightbymoonlight]

I guess so. Though so far they all seem to come from Japan...

[oceanicbutterfly]

I hope they do. If there are this many in every country, the world must be almost ending three times a week.

[fightbymoonlight]

Now that's a frightening thought. I doubt there are quite that many, but who knows...

How many Precure are there where you are?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Five. Six counting Milky Rose--she isn't a Cure herself, but her abilities are similar.

[fightbymoonlight]

I see. Just as many as in Yayoi-san's world, then. There are only two over here. They're fairly new, too.

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's the same as it is in Wakaba, where Nagisa-san is. Well, as it was, until they got more experience.

[fightbymoonlight]

That's a lot of Precure, isn't it?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Possibly know. Do you happen to know the names of yours?

[fightbymoonlight]

Yes, actually. They're Cure Blossom and Cure Marine.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Then there are at least two more out there, Cure Bloom and Cure Egret. I've only heard of them through a virus, but all the others that were mentioned are real, so...

[fightbymoonlight]

I hope that's about all of them. Though I suppose it helps that they all seem to pop up in different times, I'm starting to doubt the universe's ability to survive a single day without someone protecting it.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I know! Why are all these evil groups so interested in our world in particular?

[fightbymoonlight]

I haven't the faintest idea. You'd think they would move on after they've been foiled a few times... and yet, here we are.

They really need a better way to spend their time.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...do you think that would help? If we just found them something better to do?

[fightbymoonlight]

Seeing as they don't seem to be discouraged by defeat, I'm starting to think it might help.
